Happy 103rd birthday, Bearcat!

DAVID WYSONG | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

103 years ago, a star was born: the Cincinnati Bearcat.

According to, “Bearcats! The Story of Basketball at the University of Cincinnati,” In a football game against the University of Kentucky Wildcats in 1914, the University of Cincinnati’s football team was struggling. In the second half, cheerleader Norman “Pat” Lyon chose to create a cheer to lift their spirits saying, “They may be Wildcats, but we have a Baehr-cat on our side,” as he was referencing fullback Leonard K. “Teddy” Baehr. The newly-named “Baehr-cats” won 14-7 and the rest is history.

The Bearcat now is one of the most recognizable mascots in the country, sporting a plethora of costumes at an abundance of university events.

The people inside the costume go through a strenuous tryout to be able to join the select club of Bearcats and are not allowed to release their identity until after they graduate.

Many smiles appear and fun times are had because of the Bearcat, so with that said: happy 103rd birthday to every UC student’s favorite mascot – the Bearcat.

FIND YOUR HAPPY. Join us weekdays from 3-6pm for our Happy Hour!

CCM Professor under investigation for Islamophobic remarks JUSTIN REUTTER | NEWS EDITOR

Despite the reveal of Clifford Adams’ comments publicly singling out a Muslim student’s Blackboard discussion board post on social media, the CCM professor is still teaching despite having been placed under investigation, university spokesman Greg Vehr said Tuesday.

“I am a Middle Eastern Muslim female, therefore Trump’s presidency and all the hate he has promoted and encouraged has impacted my family, friends and I,” wrote the aforementioned student in response to a prompt on UC’s Blackboard system. “This song restores my faith in America by depicting what America is really about and why we celebrate July 4th. It includes a diverse range of people [who are] white, black, young, old, straight and gay all coming together to celebrate the birth of a country that is built off the idea of freedom.”

Adams took the conversation away from the musical topic and instead wrote aggressively toward the student, her disposition, and her religion.

Among Adams’ responses: “The U.S. President’s first sworn duty is to protect America from enemies, and the greatest threat to our freedom is not the President, it is radical Islam. Review this list of Islamic terrorist attacks and then tell me about your hurt feelings.”

“Now, about Muslim females.

As you well know, young Muslim women are murdered by their father or a brother for dating — or for holding hands with — a non-Muslim boy … Muslim females are safer in America than in any Middle Eastern country. How dare you complain

while enjoying our protection!”

“And just FYI: July 4th is not the day we tape a sign to a damn stick and go out and march with smug college brats and dysphoric drama queens, it is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. I am glad you took my class; you really do need to shut up, listen, and learn. Welcome to America, and welcome to college.”

Nearly twice as many terrorist attacks in the continental United States were perpetrated by right wing groups such as white nationalists, right wing militia groups and sovereign citizens, according to a report from The Nation Institute’s Investigative Fund and The Center for Investigative Reporting.

All students in Adams’ What’s Hot in Popular Music class could view everyone’s comments.

“No human being should ever be degraded in this manner, especially by an educator, a professor,” read a social media post that displayed a screenshot of Adams’ comments.

“This kind of treatment should not be tolerated in any way shape or form.

Moreover, a point can be made in a respectful and neutral manner, no matter what the content of the point may be regarding. Let this stand as an example of the kind of mindset that still exists here in the United States.”

Vehr reaffirmed that the university takes claims of discrimination seriously.

“The University of Cincinnati takes seriously all concerns for discriminatory or harassing conduct occurring within its community and pursuant to its policies, will conduct

an appropriate review,” Vehr said in his statement. “Our commitment to excellence and diversity are affirmed in UC’s very mission statement and fundamental to our very purpose as a public university. This matter has now been referred to the university’s offices of Academic Personnel, Equal Opportunity & Access, and Title IX for review and response in accordance with our policies and procedures.”

The UC Muslim Student Association (MSA) has already called for action against the professor.

“This incident involved the professor singling out the opinion of the student and meticulously refuting the student’s experiences by exploiting false stereotypes of Islam,” reads a statement from the MSA. “This is a demonstration of the bigotry experienced by Muslim Americans on a daily basis and it is outrageous to see this injustice taking place at the University of Cincinnati.”

MSA treasurer Humza Khan was disappointed with the university’s failure to remove Adams from his teaching responsibilities.

“As a Muslim and as a UC student, I find it disappointing that the university has failed to suspend him,” Khan said. “I understand that there is a process for these things, but when the Islamophobia perpetrated by someone is so real and apparent, it’s concerning that no immediate action can be taking place to mediate the issue and put Muslim students at ease.”

As of Tuesday afternoon, the original social media post revealing Adams’ comments could not be accessed.

Spencer’s visit prompts legality questions, safety concerns DARIUS DUDLEY | STAFF REPORTER

ANDREW HIGLEY | UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI

University of Cincinnati President Neville Pinto.

UC releases #1UC in light of Spencer MOUNIR LYNCH | OPINION EDITOR

Nov. 1, 2017 newsrecord. org

White Nationalist and so-called “alt-right” leader Richard Spencer will most likely speak on UC’s campus in early 2018, UC President Neville Pinto said last week in a statement to the university.

An exact date, location, and location are still to be determined, said Pinto. Once they are set, the community will be notified.

Administration has also developed a list of resources available to the UC community to respond to his visit.

President Pinto made the decision to allow Spencer to speak following the threat of a lawsuit from Lawyer Kyle Weber, who represents Georgia State Student Cameron Padgett.

Padgett originally requested that Spencer be given a place to speak at UC, along with several other universities.

Ohio State University refused, and is now being sued by Weber over first amendment rights.

Pinto reiterated that Spencer had not been invited by anyone in the campus

community, and that his message has been widely condemned.

“His hate, prejudice and racism have been roundly condemned by countless individuals and groups across campus, including our Board of Trustees,” said Pinto. “We must continue to do so — today, tomorrow and together.”

In a YouTube video posted along with the statement, Pinto, along with other UC and Student Government officials, reaffirmed a need for unity in facing spencer, saying “we choose love” in several different languages, including English, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, and ASL. “We’re striving to live out the fundamental principles of respect, dignity, openness, inclusion, excellence, discovery, cooperation, care, commitment, wisdom, justice, and optimism,” said a number of officials in the video.

Some students and faculty are still upset that the university allowed Spencer to speak.

Talk of Richard Spencer’s imminent arrival on to the University of Cincinnati’s campus has been stirring up lots of conversation amongst students.

White nationalist Richard Spencer is known for his outspoken, controversial opinions.

Cameron Padgett — a Georgia State student who requested space be made available for Spencer to speak at UC — threatened legal action against the university if they denied him a chance to speak on campus.

Meanwhile, colleges such as Ohio State and Penn State have denied him the ability to speak.

Even more recently, Richard Spencer spoke at the University of Florida, where three men — reportedly throwing Nazi salutes — were arrested for firing a shot into a crowd of protestors.

With these events in the national conversation, fueled by incidents in Berkeley and Charlottesville, many are left worrying about Spencer and the reaction he might provoke.

UC has yet to finalize the date for Spencer’s talk. All that is known now is that it has been pushed to early 2018, which has done little to soothe he anxiousness many students feel about his arrival.

Katie Dingee, a third-year mathematics student, stated her concern for Spencer’s incoming presence on campus.

“He is a little aggressive and some people have aggressive feelings against [Spencer], and that could only lead bad things.”

She went on to comment about how UC handled the situation.

“We have the right to free speech, but safety is also important. I think it was a very difficult decision to make,” Dingee said.

Second-year electronic media student Makayla Boyd is also worried about the upcoming talk. Like many students, she

doesn’t think that UC should have caved to the legal pressure.

“I do not think he should be allowed to speak on campus … trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes. Charlottesville and University of Florida had problems; I don’t want UC to have those problems too,” Boyd said.

Activists groups are already calling for and preparing to protest Spencer, which has also raised concerns.

Some students, such as second-year information systems student Austin Bota, believe that the situation is two-fold.

“In this case, it is best to either listen to what he has to say or ignore him all together.

Protesting has the potential to become irrational and will also give Spencer the attention he wants,” Bota said.

Much conversation has been had about whether protesting is the proper course of action to countering Spencer’s words.

With national news having recently been populated with stories of protests turning violent, it only makes sense that students would be concerned about the reaction that Spencer could be met with.

“I’m concerned that people will do stupid things,” first-year chemical engineering student Hannah Todd said. “If it turns violent, then people are just proving Spencer’s beliefs,” “I think the way to counter him is to have a [separate event], not a counterprotest,” first-year Arabic student Gordon Goodwin said. “If there is a protest he gets the attention he wants, but if the university can set up another event that more students could attend, then that would subvert his goal.”

Goodwin also seemed particularly concerned with safety.

“Looking at other campuses where he spoke, I’m concerned for safety. People should keep an eye out,” Goodwin said.

UC graduate spearheads income inequality campaign PARKER MALATESTA | NEWS EDITOR

Economics graduate student Trenton Davis is spearheading a new project called The Jubilee Campaign, which focuses on spreading a new narrative discussing income inequality and an idea they call “neighborhood economics.”

“One of the things we see in politics nowadays is a partisan battle over who’s right and who’s wrong,” said Davis, who is listed as the project manager according to LinkedIn. The campaign works with other city-centric organizations that focus on building a sustainable and stable economy from top to bottom.

“The basis of our campaign centers around the fact that people in our time are becoming incredibly isolated,” Davis said. “It’s leading to really malevolent forces erupting our society. A lot of times, we don’t really bear down to the deeper issues of our time.”

According to the Institute of Policy Studies, America’s top 10 percent now average more than nine times as much income as the bottom 90 percent.

Americans in the top 1 percent tower over 40 times more income than the bottom 90 percent.

“You can see that in the opioid epidemic that’s going on right now, growing inequality throughout the nation and distrust of institutions in general,” Davis said.

Davis graduated from the University of Cincinnati with undergraduate degrees in economics and Spanish.

“It’s amazing that Democrats see themselves as this kind of moral icon, but they don’t realize that if they don’t actually start having conversations with people, they’re never going to win again,” Davis said.

Former Obama administration Labor Secretary Tom Perez was elected as the chair of the Democratic

National Committee earlier this year.

“We’re trying to open up a new space to talk about this new dialogue that centers around communityfocused economics,” Davis said.

The idea of neighborhood economics revolves around “community-run businesses, supporting local entrepreneurs, and empowering low-income individuals.”

“The Jubilee Campaign really focuses on trying to bridge this isolation in any way that we can, and start new conversations. Right now, we’re bringing pieces together and establishing the media aspects of it,” he said.

The campaign is set to officially kick-off next year, with Davis saying they plan to label 2018 as “Jubilee Year.”

“The idea of Jubilee actually comes from the Bible. The idea is that in Jerusalem, the Jews used to forgive the debts of the poor every seven years.

Jubilee campaigns have been held throughout the world where they actually forgave entire countries’ debts to bring them back out of this isolation,” Davis said.

Republicans in Washington are seeking to pass legislation that would historically alter the United States tax code. The Trump administration wants to cut the corporate tax rate, which currently sits at 35 percent.

“Corporate business tax reform is actually always advantageous to encouraging business. It is a provable lie to say that lowering corporate taxes will not create more jobs,” Davis said.

They have several associated websites in which you can find more information about their platform. Davis directs interested parties to visit econofcompassion.org.

Author speaks to UC students, reflects on life with Asperger AUSTIN GABLE | STAFF REPORTER

He now understands that he is not broken and that the thing that causes him and others so much pain, can take people to the top of the world.

Drew Snow, a first-year communications sciences and disorders student, felt that “it was a great [experience] for freshman” to hear Robison speak. She also explained that she thinks that the ideas Robison talked about help students reflect on themselves and the ways they can promote inclusion.

Matt Nieland, a first-year medical sciences student, felt it was a great life story.

“It was very good for the students who went and stayed to hear his story because it showed that even when life deals you a bad hand, you can still find a way to succeed by finding what you’re passionate about,” Nieland said.

“People like me are not broken versions of another person’s normal.”

-John Elder Robison

Nov. 1, 2017 newsrecord.org

“People like me are not broken versions of another person’s normal,” said John Elder Robison to a full TUC Great Hall on Friday. Suffering from Asperger’s syndrome, Robison wrote a book titled, “Look Me in the Eye,” describing his experiences coping with the disorder that, until adulthood, he had no idea that he had.

Robison — the author of this year’s common read — spoke to mostly first-year students who had read Robison’s book, and were required to attend his event as part of their learning communities.

Whether students chose to read the book or not, Robison undoubtedly reached those present with his story and message.

The book was mandated reading for new University of Cincinnati students and was chosen by UC faculty to facilitate student discussions about the Bearcat Bond — a UC student mission statement of sorts emphasizing tolerance — while further emphasizing the importance of diversity and inclusion.

With a brief introduction from a Common Read Scholarship recipient, Robison took the stage. He began by saying, “I never would have imagined that I would be the one to come up here and speak to folks.”

He started by telling the audience that the last time he had been to Cincinnati, he had been on tour with KISS as an engineer working on their guitars and audio systems.

After completing the story of the last time he had been in Cincinnati — which happened to be referenced in his book — Robison transitioned to explain how he began working for very well known bands.

Robison explained that he had been an outcast in elementary, middle and high school.

He failed all his classes and was told by teachers and other school staff that he would amount to nothing.

Luckily, he found an interest in electronics and spent a great deal of time sacrificing “every radio and television in [his] parents’ house in the pursuit of knowledge.”

He tapped into a seemingly endless concentration, which he now cites as being a part of his Asperger’s syndrome, which is a condition on the autism spectrum.

Unfortunately, in addition to providing him with “an extraordinary amount of concentration,” Asperger’s syndrome greatly limited his communication skills, making it difficult to establish friendships and pursue a traditional route to success.

Years after being an outcast from society and falling as if he was a failure, Robison discovered he had Asperger’s syndrome and used his diagnosis to reflect on his life.

International ghosts and ghouls; Halloween around the globe

Nov. 1, 2017 newsrecord. org

NOELLE ZIELINSKI | LIFE & ARTS EDITOR

The origins of Halloween date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. This festival was celebrated on the night before the Celts’ new year, Nov. 1. The Celts believed that the night before the new year, the boundary between the land of the living and the land of the dead became blurred. In order to commemorate this event, the Druids — or priests — built huge bonfires where the Celts gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to their deities. During the celebration, the Celts also wore costumes — typically made from animal heads and skins — in order to ward off ghosts and tell each other’s fortunes.

Halloween did not make its way to America until colonial times, and even then, the celebration was still extremely limited. Eventually, as beliefs and customs of several groups of people such as different European ethnic groups and American Indians, an “American” version of Halloween was formed. Colonial Halloween activities included telling ghost stories and people pulling pranks on one another. As far as trick-or-treating goes, this event is rooted from Irish and American traditions as well in which people began dressing up in costumes and going door to door asking for food and money.

But how do other countries and cultures celebrate Halloween?

In Mexico, Latin America and Spain, All Soul’s Day — celebrated on Nov. 2 — is commemorated with a threeday celebration which begins on the night of Oct. 31. This day is known as Dia de los Muertos. Dia de los Muertos is

designed to honor and welcome the dead, as it is said that they return to their homes on Halloween. Many families design altars for their loved ones whom they have lost in their home and decorate it with their favorite foods, candies, flowers, photographs and fresh water. Candles are lit and incense is burned in order to help the deceased find their way home. Several films have been made recently celebrating the unique cultural connection the celebration holds for Latin Americans.

In China, there are several small festivals that have similar themes as Halloween. One of them is called Teng Chieh. On this day, families place food and water in front of photographs of those who have died and also light the way for these spirits as they travel the earth on Halloween night with bonfires and lanterns. Another one of these festivals is called the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. This day is an attempt to honor the dead as well as providing food and other offerings for these “hungry ghosts” wandering the earth in search of revenge upon those who had wronged them in their life.

Other countries have smaller traditions which they do closer to the time of Halloween. In Germany, people put away their knives on Halloween night in order to protect themselves from the potential wrath of returning spirits.

In Czechoslovakia, chairs are placed by the fireside on Halloween night; one for each living family member and one for each family member’s spirit. In Austria, some people will leave bread, water and a lamp on the table before going to sleep on Halloween night. It is said that these would welcome back dead souls to earth.

Brewcats: Streetside, Holtman’s makes perfect dessert beer JUSTIN REUTTER | NEWS EDITOR

Columbia Tusculum’s Streetside Brewery, Holtman’s Donuts and Cincy Weekend recently collaborated to create “Robe,” a stout based on the OTR donut shop’s cream cheese donut. The beer is brewed with actual red velvet donuts in the mash.

On first glance, the nitro stout appears black as night, but a closer look will reveal tinges of a red wine color, especially around the edges of the glass.

The aroma contains notes of cream cheese icing reminiscent of some of your favorite sweet delights.

The first thing you notice in the taste is the faint taste of cocoa, followed by cream, simulating icing. The aftertaste is slightly more bitter, with the coffee taste typical in a stout coming out.

This is a perfect dessert beer, pairing well with donuts and ice cream.

Ringing in at a high 8.4 ABV, it is also perfect to warm you up on a cold day.

The beer follows similar collaborations by Braxton Brewery and Graeters, which produced the Black Raspberry Chip Stout and Blueberry Pie Brown Ale. However, unlike Braxton, which

partnered with Graeter’s and other area stores to distribute in limited quantities, Robe Stout was a narrowly limited release that is only available on tap. It was still currently available as of Tuesday afternoon and the staff described the remaining amount as “plenty.”

Streetside Brewery currently has no plans to can and mass distribute the stout, said Brian Hickey, co-owner of the Brewery.

“We made one batch of it, and we’ll see where it goes from there,” Hickey said.

Streetside Brewery is relatively new to the Cincinnati brewery scene. It opened on Oct. 5, 2016 on the site of the old East End Café, a live music bar that closed due to fire damage in 2010. It is in the Columbia Tusculum neighborhood on the east end.

The building includes a 2,000-square foot taproom overlooking the brewery, which can seat 68 and 25 more in outside seating.

Hickey believes that what makes the brewery special is their willingness to experiment and try new things. The brewery has plans to launch a few more exclusive beers throughout the coming months.

Not your Homer’s Odyssey, Super Mario shines on Switch

8

Nov. 1, 2017 newsrecord. org

NOELLE ZIELINSKI | LIFE & ARTS EDITOR

Nintendo released their new, highly anticipated Super Mario game Friday.

“Super Mario Odyssey,” designed for the Nintendo Switch – Nintendo’s brand new home console and handheld hybrid released in March – is a new way to play Mario.

Yes, there are the classic characters such as Peach, Bowser, Toad and others, but Nintendo has shaken up the formula with new faces. The most prevalent of these being Cappy, a hat which transforms into Mario’s new hat and assists him throughout all of his endeavors in multiple different worlds.

The game starts out with Bowser who has kidnapped Princess Peach once again.

Only this time, instead of hopping around from world to world with her, taunting Mario and fleeing whenever he arrives, Bowser intends to marry Peach and end this feud once and for all. This is the beginning of yet another epic journey of Mario in his quest to save Peach.

“Super Mario Odyssey” also differs from

previous Mario games in the layout of the “levels.” In classic prior Mario games, there was one primary mission or objective to each level. However, in “Super Mario Odyssey,” the levels are embedded in each world you go to and has a more laid-back atmosphere. None of the levels are timed, and though the game will sometimes give some sort of guide, it is up to the player to distinguish what to do and what order to do them in. The primary objective, however, is to find and collect Power Moons — and you literally do have to find them. They are scattered throughout different secret boxes and cages, hidden levels and other places in each world.

These moons are the key to powering your ship and unlocking new worlds. As previously mentioned, there are certain missions you must complete, but many times after you “finish” these missions, you will still need to complete other tasks and search for Power Moons in order to discover the next world. This allows you to become more familiar with the game and each world.

One of the main innovative aspects to this game is Mario’s ability to throw his hat, Cappy, at his enemies and possess their bodies. Now, Mario has the ability to transform into classic enemies such as Goombas, Bullet Bills or various other new creatures introduced in the game. This allows you more freedom to navigate the worlds and discover new elements as you go. This creates countless opportunities for the player to interact with each world and each enemy, and to use them to their advantage.

CONT. ON PG.9

Super Mario shines on Switch cont.

Another exciting part of this game is the abundance of new worlds mixed with classic worlds, usually with some twist.

Desert, jungle and underwater-themed worlds make a reappearance in the game, while new worlds mimicking urban cities and whimsical forests are entirely new to players. This made the discovery of every world an adventure, which is clearly one of the main themes that Nintendo was trying to portray in this game. With the overall design of each world and the DIY atmosphere of this game, it is hard to see this game as anything other than an adventure.

As far as actual gameplay, the controls are fairly simple and easy to understand. Nintendo is always consistent with the controls on Mario games so your standard jump, crouch and ground slam are essentially the same as they’ve ever been. The control that is most essential, however, isthrowing Mario’s hat at essentially anything and everything. Each world is challenging in its own way and Nintendo has undoubtedly nailed yet another Mario title and it has shown through its sales.

In its opening weekend, the game has sold over 2 million copies and more are expected to keep selling. “Super Mario Odyssey” is quickly climbing the charts of the top-selling Nintendo Switch games. “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” still stands as the top selling switch game with “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe” behind it. “Super Mario Odyssey” is an excellently made game, and if you happen to have a Nintendo Switch, it is hands-down one of the best games to buy.

Stranger Things returns, lives up to first season’s hype

10

Nov. 1, 2017 newsrecord. org

NOELLE ZIELINZKI | LIFE & ARTS EDITOR

The entire season of the highly anticipated second season of the Netflix original, “Stranger Things”, released on Friday. Since its release, it has caught the interest of returning fans as well as those who are eager to understand the hype. When the first season aired, it took over every social media by storm and left viewers eager for more and demanding a second season almost instantly.

Many debated why a second season was needed and claimed that the somewhat ambiguous ending to the first season was enough and that the series should be a “one and done” situation. However, despite some critics’ opinions, directors pushed through and started production of the second season almost immediately after.

Having binge-watched the second season in a matter of two days, I can easily say that the second season lived up to the high expectations set by the first season. The season very successfully built off of the previously constructed story line and did a very good job of developing the main plot as well as individual character’s stories.

The actors in this series are all phenomenal and completely embody their characters in every aspect.

This is especially impressive considering the young age of the majority of the leading roles. Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike in the series, does an outstanding job of portraying feelings of longing and the effects of losing someone you truly love, while Millie Bobby Brown, who plays Eleven, exemplifies what a true friend is and what

the true definition of loyalty is. All of the actors give a raw performance and make the characters especially relatable as well as believable. While Wolfhard has significantly less screen time than he did in season one, this allows for his co-stars Caleb McLaughlin, who plays Lucas, and Gaten Matarazzo, who plays Dustin, to have more of a prominent role in the season.

Along with building off of stories from original characters, several new characters were introduced to the show as well. These characters add a new element to the show and even end up helping the group more than initially expected. This allows for new friendships and relationships to build and thicken the ever-evolving predicament that these kids are in.

The ending of the first season left viewers asking themselves one question; What happened to Eleven? The second season sheds light on her past and connects her to a story she never even knew she was a part of. The season allows Eleven to grow as a character as she goes through trauma over her own while dealing with the issues of her past.

The second season has also done an amazing job of upholding the uneasiness and eeriness of the first season. The entire idea of the “Upside Down” and the mystical and dangerous beasts that lurk there reappear in this season but with a twist. The directors did a great job of continuing with the same themes and building upon the well-established world of the “Upside Down” while adding variety to the creatures that live there. The episodes still leave you on the edge of your seat and slightly covering your eyes whenever the lights flicker.

Students pay while Bearcats play, price tag placed on transportation BRESLIN SAND | CONTRIBUTOR

As the University of Cincinnati men’s basketball team prepares for an entire season away from home, many students have only one thing on their mind: transportation.

With some UC students lacking their own vehicle, they must find alternate ways to attend UC’s “home” games this year.

UC athletics is providing shuttle service to the games, however the bus pass is not complimentary with the provided student tickets.

Students are being asked to pay a $15 fee per month for the bus pass when picking up their tickets from the ticket office.

Even with a mass email being sent to students regarding the upcoming season with information about tickets and transportation, people have still been surprised by the extra charge.

“I bought the bus pass when I went to go pick up my tickets, but I was very much caught off guard by the $15 price tag,” said Grant Matwiejczyk, a second-year electrical engineering student. “I assumed that this meant I would have a bus pass for the rest of the basketball season. After realizing that the $15 price was only for the November games,

I would have decided against buying it if given the opportunity over again.”

As stated at the bottom of the email, students can purchase a monthly bus pass to travel to the games for $15, which can be purchased when claiming tickets either online or at the ticket office anytime from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday.

For November, the bus pass would be roughly $3 per game if a student attended every game.

“They didn’t tell me the pass was only for this month, they just asked if I wanted a bus pass for $15, so I said, ‘Sure,’” Matwiejczyk said. “I only realized it was for a month when I checked the pass after buying it. I did not realize it was $3 per game, or that I could buy passes for individual games per my need. I feel like my money will be worth the price as long as I go to at least half of the games I paid for, but asking students to pay is absurd in my opinion.”

While some students may be disgruntled about paying for a bus pass, others deem it a reasonable expenditure in order to go.

“It’s reasonable and fair, but I don’t think that it is ideal,” second-year computer engineering student Andy Miller said. “If I drove myself, I would probably get lost

and use up more gas than the pass actually cost. It’s only $3 a game if you get a mini pass. However, I think that it will impact attendance even more because of it. My roommate doesn’t have much expendable cash so hearing that he had to pay was a deal breaker for him.”

This is not the first time that UC has charged for a bus pass. In 2014, UC Athletics charged $10 for a season pass to see the Bearcats football team compete at Paul Brown Stadium, alongside the cost of tickets.

While the price is more expensive this year, it is 8.9 miles further to BB&T Arena than Paul Brown.

Busses will be on site by the Bearcat statue two hours prior to game time, and will wait for a minimum of 25 students before departing. The last bus will depart 30 minutes prior to tip-off. departing. The last bus will depart 30 minutes prior to tip-off.

“Their quarterback is going to keep them in a lot of things because of his ability to run the football, his ability to run the option, which obviously makes it difficult with everything you do,” Fickell said.

With the Bearcats last win coming 45 days ago, the players do not really care who they are playing; they just want to experience victory again.

“I was looking back, I haven’t had that win since MiamiOhio,” senior offensive lineman Korey Cunningham said. “I was just like, ‘Man I want to feel that feeling one more time.’That’s all I’m trying to feel right now — that feeling of victory.”

Cincinnati is on the road for this one, as they travel to New Orleans to play at Yulman Stadium on Saturday. The game kicks off at 4 p.m. and can be viewed on ESPN3.

Offensive line coach Ron Cook discusses adjustments during the football game against Marshall Sept. 30, 2017.

Coming off a bye week, the Bearcats are looking to snap a five-game losing streak that has seen them fall to 2-6 on the season.

Head coach Luke Fickell said his staff and the players took the week off to reset themselves mentally.

“It’s about an opportunity to get away, kind of clear your mind and refocus, figure out what it is we need to do moving forward,” Fickell said.

In terms of physical adjustments, Fickell said a one-week break is not enough time to make drastic game plan changes, so fans should not expect a completely different team than the one they saw two weeks ago.

“That’s probably where we can make our biggest mistake,” Fickell said. “It’s going to be about discipline, it’s going to be about consistency. It’s not in the bye week that we realize that we don’t run inside zone very well, so let’s change the

way we run inside zone.”

Cincinnati will attempt to get back on track against Tulane University, who is 3-5 and looking to snap their own losing streak, having dropped three straight.

Despite the losing streak, Fickell has seen improvement this season in the Green Wave, who have not won more than four games since 2013.

“I think they have had some consistency in the things that you see offensively,” Fickell said. “I think they play sound defensively too. That’s what it really comes back down to, when you kind of break down their games, they got beat up pretty bad, but almost in the same way that things happen to us. They get down 35-0 and then you see a different team.

You see a team that happens to battle back.”

Defensively, the Bearcats are preparing for Tulane junior quarterback Jonathan Banks, who has passed for 926 yards and nine touchdowns, while

FC Cincinnati’s roster moves highlight young offseason thus far

Nov. 1, 2017 newsrecord. org

ALEX FRANK | STAFF REPORTER

Futbol Club Cincinnati just finished its second season as a professional franchise.

Although they were knocked out in the first round of the United Soccer League Playoffs, their season was highlighted by a semifinal run in the U.S. Open Cup. Heading into the 2018 season, there are questions surrounding what the roster will look like.

At a press conference last Wednesday, head coach Alan Koch and team president and general manager Jeff Berding announced that only nine players were signed for the upcoming season. 11 players left the club and six are in negotiations to be brought back.

“It’s actually news to me,” fourth-year accounting manager John Satrein said. “I knew [Alan Koch] was going over to Europe to find new players, but I didn’t know that they had made any signings.”

Born in South Africa, Koch has connections that span the continent. He also has flights booked to Europe, where he played professionally, in hopes of finding new talent.

Satrein believes the moves may have been made in an attempt to prepare the team for a potential upgrade to the MLS, where they would need to increase their talent level.

“I think they definitely need some more talent,” Satrein said. “They have the fan base to match an MLS team, but I think they’re lacking talent-wise a little bit.”

Among the six players in negotiations is goalkeeper Mitch Hildebrandt, who saved two penalty shots in a win over the Chicago Fire in the Round of 16 of the U.S. Open Cup.

Also included is Cincinnati native, defender Austin Berry and forward Andrew Wiedeman, whose 31 shots ranked No. 3 on the team.

“As of right now, they haven’t brought back Mitch Hildebrandt,” first-year international business and finance major Jackson Forbes said. “Some ups and downs about [the signings], but unless they bring back Mitch Hildebrandt, I think there’s going to be a big hole.”

The club also is looking to get a more competitive roster to compete in the USL in 2018, as FC Cincinnati never was higher than No. 5 at any point in the 2017 season.

“To be a winning franchise, we need to prove our roster across the board,” Berding said in an article on FC Cincinnati’s official site. “We need to be better, as this year was not good enough. We saw the USL dramatically improve from 2016 to 2017, and frankly, we did not do all the things to do in the off-season to prepare appropriately last year.”

Koch stated last week that he wants multiple players that can compete for a starting role at every position. That includes the goalkeeper position, where Hildebrandt may no longer be the top option.

Berding added that the players will not have nearly as long of a break this offseason as they did in the one between the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

“The players who are returning get back to work Monday, and they will be working through Thanksgiving, and they will be doing specific activities for their specific game,” Berding said in an article on Cincinnati.com.

Right before the trade deadline ended, the Cincinnati Bengals had a deal in place with the Cleveland Browns to trade quarterback AJ McCarron for several draft picks, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

That deal fell through, and McCarron may be able to help the Bengals in a more immediate way now.

After three-and-a-half years of sitting on the bench while his name was tossed around in trade rumors, the time has come for McCarron to serve a higher purpose on the team as the Bengals’ starting quarterback.

I have rode the Andy Dalton bus as long as I could, as he sent the Bengals to five straight playoff appearances, though that was due mostly to a dominant defense that often finished in the top-ten of the league.

However, after his pathetic performance against a Colts defense that is surrendering an NFL worst 30.8 points per game, I have gotten off the bus.

The Bengals went in as 10.5-point home favorites against the 2-5 Colts, yet found themselves trailing at the end of the game, in large part due to a 4-for-11 third down conversion rate because of Dalton’s inability to move the chains.

Carlos Dunlap took the game into his own hands with an interception returned for a touchdown in the closing minutes to give the Bengals a one-point win, but Dalton’s inadequacies that should have resulted in a loss cannot be forgotten.

This was not the only game where the red-headed nightmare drastically decreased the Bengals’ chances at victory in 2017.

ESPN uses a tool called “total quarterback rating (TQBR)” – a proprietary statistic created by ESPN in 2011 – that measures the effectiveness of

a quarterback on a scale of 0-100, where 50 is considered average.

In three of the Bengals’ four losses, against Pittsburgh, Houston and Baltimore, Dalton’s TQBR has fallen below 30, including a whopping 0.7 rating in the season opener against the Ravens.

In those games, he has two touchdowns and six interceptions.

On the season, he is No. 27 out of 32 quarterbacks, with a TQBR of 33.3.

Dalton proved long ago that he was incompetent in the playoffs, going 0-4 with one touchdown and six interceptions, while never posting a QBR over 22.6.

Now, despite having a slew of talented weapons around him, he has proven to be less than worthless in the regular season as well.

Meanwhile, that guy the Browns were willing to surrender a 2018 second and third round pick for, continues to get blisters on his bottom from riding the bench.

McCarron has seen action in only one season, 2015, but was effective filling in for an injured Dalton, throwing six touchdowns and two interceptions.

In his lone playoff appearance, he proved more capable of handling the winter spotlight than Dalton, setting his team up for victory against the Steelers before a Jeremy Hill fumble and boneheaded penalties by Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones set Pittsburgh up for the game-winning field goal.

If Cincinnati is not going to accept the offers from other teams that realize McCarron is a starting NFL quarterback, they need to start utilizing his talents.

In the end, it all comes down to common sense: if your starter stinks and is actively hurting your chances to win, and you have a backup that has success when called upon, it’s time to make a change.

Going to IKEA

The Cincinnati Mayoral Race

To be clear, I love IKEA just as much as everyone else does. The experience of making the actual trip to IKEA, on the other hand, is a “meh” for me.

Whether you know what you’re there for or not, a trip to IKEA involves getting lost in a massive maze and buying way more than what you planned on buying. But you really don’t regret what you spent your money on, because it’s all super cute and way too affordable.

I think the entire city can probably agree with me on this one. We are stuck between two Democrats who have an equal amount of controversy, corruption allegations and, frankly, personal flaws.

For me, it is especially important for us to pay attention to this local election because of the “meh”ness of these two potential city leaders. It should take a lot more research up until the final days to make a choice. Every “meh” has a good and a bad part.

Most of Your Halloween Costumes

Scrolling through Instagram on the Sunday after Halloween weekend, I saw more and more of the same. For the guys, a jersey that they already owned seemed to suffice as a costume, and for the ladies, some sort of animal face paint with a nice outfit seemed to be — as it has been in previous years — the most popular choice. On the other hand, there were some great ideas out there. Since I don’t watch “Game of Thrones,” I just went ahead and assumed everyone dressed in some sort of Middle Ages garb was dressed as a character from “Game of Thrones.”

I see myself as an overgrown child sometimes.

Part of that is my love of fall leaf piles. The part that makes this “meh” is the fact that I’m not actually a child. When you’re done making the large leaf pile, you can’t just jump in it and leave it behind like you do when you’re a kid. The magic of fall leaves became a “meh” around the age of 15 when it became my job to actually clean up the aftermath.

Even now, I still take the time to take a dive in to the massive leaf pile I challenge myself to create.

CASMIR THORNBERRY | CONTRIBUTOR

Most students at the University of Cincinnati don’t think about the entity that represents their financial interests to the university’s administration.

Students simply accept it as though it has always been there and as though their decisions are beyond individual influence. In fact, if the average student was asked who that entity was, they would likely point to UC Student Government. But in reality, that entity is the Student Advisory Committee on the University Budget (SACUB). It is high time we disband SACUB in its current form and return the power it yields to the student body and the entities representing both undergraduates and graduates.

SACUB has been a longstanding student organization dedicated to representing all students who pay into the general fee — a fee all students pay to provide non-instructional services to students.

SACUB’s charter states that it “serves as the formal representative body to the university budget planning and review process and decisions concerning all student fees.” For decades, SACUB has taken on the sole responsibility of recommending how the revenue from our multitude of fees is distributed in the best interests of the students. It is the opinion of this student that SACUB is unnecessary and that it should

be replaced or overseen by the true representative body of all undergraduate students: UC Student Government. At the very least, every member of SACUB should be democratically elected by the students they are meant to represent.

UC Student Government (SG) was created to act as the primary representative of all undergraduate students. It serves as the main liaison between the university administration, governmental authorities and the student body. It is the responsibility of SG to represent students in all matters, including matters regarding student finances. SACUB infringes upon SG’s ability to do that. According to Article II of the Charter of Student Rights and Responsibilities, “students shall be accorded a significant and direct voice in the formulation and application of policies and procedures at the university, college and departmental level.” SACUB is not a significant or direct voice for the student body. It is impossible for a body consisting of 25 unelected, nearly unknown, bureaucrats to fulfill that duty.

It must be made clear, however, that this opinion reflects in no way on the individuals within SACUB. From President Emlemdi to Mical Daniel to Tyler Creel, SACUB consists of many dedicated and brilliant student leaders. In fact, nearly every member of SACUB is considered a leader of the organizations

they are meant to represent. That is why it is absolutely reasonable to expect those same leaders to exert their influence within an elected representative body to ensure that the budget is inclusive and cognizant of student needs.

Part of the public relations game played by supporters of SACUB is designed to suggest that SACUB is an essential part of our student affairs — one we cannot do without. The student voice would be much better served through a democratic process that demands the earned equal weight as those “VPs of UC.” It should be SG senators and the executive board that are highly trained to handle student financial matters. At the very least, every member of the current system should be elected in some manner. By giving that representative duty to elected members of the undergraduate and graduate student body, we ensure a representative entity with oversight and accountability in charge of our finances.

Editor’s note: Casmir Thornberry is a former at-large senator for the University of Cincinnati’s student government. SACUB chair Doug Donnan responded saying, SACUB’s system of 24 representational chairs ensures a “fair representation of graduate and undergraduate students,” and that their membership review process ensures “students are represented equally.”

The British celebrity chef we all know and (sometimes) love is a “meh.” His cussing and name-calling to professional chefs and hugging and praising the little ones are why we love him.

But that personality gets tiring quickly. “Kitchen Nightmares” was a TV masterpiece; things like the “you’re an idiot sandwich” and the sassy chef ripping her wig off in anger made his presence on TV special. Now, Gordon is on TV all day long with a series of watered down, purely “meh” game shows that make him a lot of money but downgrade him to total “meh” status.

SACUB, in its Current Form, should be Disbanded

Islamophobic CCM Professor needs to be fired immediately MOUNIR LYNCH | OPINION EDITOR

Clifford Adams, a CCM professor and musician, made unprofessional and Islamophobic remarks to one of his students in an online class discussion board this week. His comments were full of inaccurate lies about Islam and Muslim culture, as well as language against the students that he is getting paid to educate — not degrade.

The class assignment submission included a review of the Thirty Seconds to Mars song, “Walk on Water,” by a Muslim UC student who claimed that in the midst of a hateenabling presidential administration, the song she was assigned to react to gave her hope.

“This song restores my faith in America by depicting what America is really about and why we celebrate July 4th. It includes a diverse range of people from white, black, young, old, straight and gay all coming together to celebrate the birth of a country that is built off the idea of freedom,” read the post from the unidentified student.

As a Muslim student, the fact that UC needs to take so much time to investigate the situation is confusing and concerning.

UC spokesman Greg Vehr released a statement signaling UC’s patience with the racist professor in response to the event.

“The University of Cincinnati takes seriously all concerns for discriminatory or harassing conduct occurring within its

community and pursuant to its policies, will conduct an appropriate review,” UC spokesman Greg Vehr said.

There is no need to “conduct an appropriate review” if our university is going to actually make the commitment to diversity and inclusion. The evidence is concrete and it is undeniable. The entire statement by Adams was full of unprofessional and inappropriate remarks that professors who have respect for their jobs should keep to themselves. On the discussion board, Adams responded to the student by saying, “The U.S. President’s first sworn duty is to protect America from enemies, and the greatest threat to our freedom is not the President, it is radical Islam. Review this list of Islamic terrorist attacks and then tell me about your hurt feelings.”

This argument is exhausting and I’m tired of it. What about Las Vegas? We have yet to call the evil human being who destroyed hundreds of lives a terrorist, and we continue to give violent white Americans a pass yet again.

In yet another sign of ignorance, Adams said, “Now, about Muslim females. As you well know, young Muslim women are murdered by their father or a brother for dating — or for holding hands with — a non-Muslim boy.”

The Quran specifically states, “There is no Obligation in religion” – Quran 2:256. This

means that one can choose to be Muslim or choose not to, and that Islam only provides rules for those who elect to follow them. If there’s no obligation in religion, according to Islam, why would it be the standard of Islam to kill non-Muslims or Muslims that choose to date non-Muslims? My sisters have only dated non-Muslim boys, and neither myself nor my father have murdered them.

Adams managed to include sexism in his Islamophobic statement.

“Muslim females are safer in America than in any Middle Eastern country. How dare you complain while enjoying our protection! And just FYI: July 4th is not the day we tape a sign to a damn stick and go out and march with smug college brats and dysphoric drama queens, it is a federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence … I am glad you took my class; you really do need to shut up, listen, and learn. Welcome to America, and welcome to college.”

Adams silences the voice of the female student and, speaking from a position of male privilege, insists that American women enjoy total comfort and dismisses the fact that they are oppressed.

Mr. Adams, you need to apologize for your disrespect and hate. UC, you need to get rid of this man. He does not reflect the values of UC and is clearly unfit to be an educator.

Rethinking your vocab to help be more inclusive

Nov. 1, 2017 newsrecord. org

CLARITY AMREIN | STAFF REPORTER

You’ve interacted with a transgender or nonbinary person at some point in your life, whether you know it or not.

With growing and ever-changing labels and identities, it can be difficult to know how to speak to or about trans individuals without sounding offensive or uninformed.

Maybe you already know the basics: physical sex is different than gender identity, respect the name and pronouns that a trans person declares, don’t ask about previous names (referred to as a “deadname”) and don’t ask about people’s genitals (a good rule in general).

What about more complicated interactions?

Is it okay to ask about past or future surgeries? Should you announce whether you would date and/or have sex with a transgender person? Should you tell a trans person that they look like a “real” man/ woman?

The answer to these is “no,” and as with every person, it’s important that we don’t

objectify and reduce people down to their bodies, so adjusting your language about trans people away from their physical appearance is crucial.

If you wouldn’t ask or say things like that to your grandma, your professor or your boss, you probably shouldn’t say it to a trans person.

Beyond physical bodies, how do we talk about things we don’t know the language for or definition of?

An anonymous UC psychology student and nonbinary individual said, “Ask what you don’t know. Trans and non-binary people can be really different, so just ask them what they prefer, like their pronouns or how they identify. Be sensitive and patient.”

They continue, “Also, Google is your friend.

Look things up and you can avoid plenty of uncomfortable conversations.”

So what is nonbinary, the pronoun “they,” and how do we talk about it?

Objectively, there is no designated or inherent way that a man or woman “should”

behave, speak or dress, which makes gender (not sex) socially constructed.

There are only minimal cognitive and physiological differences between the sexes, and even for cisgender people — those who don’t identify as trans — gender is understood and perceived far more by one’s clothes, haircut, use of makeup, interests, voice and movements.

Nonbinary people identify as combinations of girl and boy, neither or both girl and boy or just somewhere outside the normal binary.

It may seem confusing if you don’t personally feel this way, but when you believe that gender is performed or artificial, it’s easy to stop identifying with it.

Many nonbinary people use the singular pronoun “they” to refer to themselves because it doesn’t designate boy or girl.

Singular “they” has existed since the 1800s, and though it might seem incorrect, don’t forget that you’ve been asking things like, “Who left their wallet?” for quite a while.

Some trans and nonbinary people even

use pronouns that fall outside the typical he/she/they constructions.

There might seem like a lot of words and rules to learn, but the overall message when speaking to and about transgender and nonbinary people is to be respectful.

Just like you would in any other conversation, you can ask about a person’s life and identities, but you should respect what a person does and doesn’t want to talk about, and recognize what is inappropriate to comment on.

If you’re willing to call Matthews “Matt” and Katherines “Katie,” and respect your friends who go by their less embarrassing middle names, you can easily call a trans person by their preferred name.

And, if you’re willing to see gender in our society differently, you’ll realize that trans and nonbinary people are simply being themselves.
