NEWS BEN GOLDSCHMIDT | CAMPUS REPORTER The presidential campaign stopped at Miami University on Aug. 15 with Paul Ryan visiting his alma mater to pitch Mitt Romney’s platform and his own plan for America. Rep. Paul Ryan, the vice presidential pick for Mitt Romney — the presumptive Republican presidential nominee — spoke to supporters Wednesday at his college alma mater, Miami University. After praising the university and reminiscing about his time spent there, Ryan presented his ideas for how the Romney-Ryan duo would lead in the nation. “This is a very, very clear contrast for our country to make,” Ryan said. “We can get people back to work. That is our objective.” Having a reputation for his fiscal-conservative convictions, much of Ryan’s 18-minute long speech revolved around reducing regulations on small businesses and cutting government spending and taxes. Ryan contrasted these ideas with what he called
University of Cincinnati police officer Richard Haas was justified last August when he fired his Taser at a teenager who later died, said Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters. Deters issued a report to Police Chief Michael Cureton, stating Haas did not violate any laws when his Taser was discharged Aug. 6, 2011 on Everette Howard, killing 18-year-old student. Haas said he discharged his Taser when Howard refused to halt despite the officer’s orders. The use of Tasers has been suspended since the event, and the university has no plans of reinstating them, said Greg Hand, UC spokesperson.
A court ruling concerning the limited access to free speech across the
the failed policies of President Barack Obama’s administration. Ryan said the current administration had taken $716 billion from Medicare to pay for ObamaCare — a hot topic among audience members wearing antiObamaCare buttons. Paul Johnson, a health insurance agent from Kentucky, attended the rally dressed as George Washington. The purpose of his costume was to express his desire for a “second American Revolution” due to ObamaCare being upheld in the Supreme Court, Johnson said. The country’s rising debt is putting an enormous amount of stress on college graduates, Ryan said. “This economy is really bad for young Americans,” Ryan said. “Half of all college graduates are either working at jobs that they didn’t train for or not working at all — half. And they’re swallowing in debt with everrising tuition. We need to make sure that those people who are dislocated...can get the skills they need to get back to the path of prosperity.” Ryan promised to nurture job creation in Ohio and
University of Cincinnati’s main campus has resulted in the university having to rewrite its policies restricting protests on campus. Previously, the campus allowed the grounds of McMicken College open for free speech after first providing prior notification and obtaining permission from the university. United States District Court Judge of southern Ohio, Timothy Black, ruled that UC violated students’ freedom of speech by restricting them to 0.1 percent of the 137-acre campus.
Mitch McCrate, General Counsel to the University of Cincinnati, resigned after 19 years at the university. McCrate’s resignation signaled a change in how the General Counsel operates. The counsel now reports directly to the president, a practice that has not been in place since the beginning of the Zimpher administration in 2003. “I believe that this former structure best serves the needs of the university and our future,” said Greg

across the country, claiming that he and Romney would create “452,000 jobs in Ohio alone if we get this economy growing.” Sen. Rob Portman and Gov. John Kasich, among others, introduced the vice presidential pick. “Think how much we could be doing here in Ohio...if only we didn’t have this over-taxing, over-regulation and the ‘Washington-knows-best’ attitude that’s in the health care law,” Portman said. “What John Kasich needs — I think it’s pretty clear — is a partner in Washington, and that’s the Romney-Ryan team.” Sen. Portman, who was also considered for Romney’s running mate, gave Ryan his “lucky Ohio buckeye,” which, Ryan said, Portman carried with him during his senatorial campaign. During Ryan’s speech, 10 members of Progress Ohio were stationed nearby the rally in protest, chanting “Outsource Romney,” and “Hands off Pell grants.” They waved signs that had slogans ranging from “Stop privatizing social security,” to “Hands off my health care.”
Williams, UC president. Greg Mohar agreed to fill in as the interim General Counsel while the university searches for a new General Counsel. Mohar came to UC in March 2005. The General Counsel is responsible for providing legal planning and advice for the university.
Everette Howard’s family filed a civil rights federal lawsuit against the University of Cincinnati that specifically targets Richard Haas. The lawsuit was filed after a prosecutor reported Haas would not face criminal charges for the incident that resulted in Howard’s death. “I want justice for my son. He was a student. He was two weeks away from going into college. He was on his way to doing something with his life,” said Howard’s mother. A candlelit vigil was held four days later for Everette Howard on the oneyear anniversary of his death.

The University of Cincinnati football team will enter the 2012-13 season as defending Big East Conference Champions for the third time in the past four seasons. The loss of four NFL Draft picks — Isaiah Pead, Derek Wolfe, Adrien Robinson and John Hughes –— along with two other seniors who earned spots on NFL rosters, leaves the Bearcats with an uphill battle to secure a second straight conference title. Despite being one of the younger squads in recent memory — 65 first or second year players — the Cincinnati coaching staff is very optimistic about their team’s progression at this point in the offseason, said UC head coach Butch Jones. “Obviously we’re an extremely young football team; we only have nine players on our roster that played an average of 40 snaps or more last season,” Jones said. “[However], I think youth brings a lot of excitement and we have some great competitive battles going on positionally amongst the team, which I think has really created a sense of urgency.” If he’s worried about a possible letdown following last season, he isn’t showing it. “I’m very encouraged and I think we’ve had a very productive offseason. I like the mentality and the work
ethic that we’ve displayed thus far,” Jones said. Although a starter has yet to be named, Munchie Legaux has taken the majority of the first team snaps at quarterback during UC’s football camp in West Harrison, Ind. and seems to be the heir-apparent to Zack Collaros. The running-back position, however, is not quite as clear. The departure of reigning Big East Conference offensive player of the year, Isaiah Pead – a second round draft pick of the St. Louis Rams – has left the Bearcat backfield without one of its all-time greats. Returning players include George Winn and Ralph David Abernathy IV, who both scored memorable touchdowns in the Bearcats’ triumph over Vanderbilt in the 2012 Liberty Bowl. Blue-chip sophomore Jameel Poteat is in the midst of a very successful summer. Freshmen Tion Green and Deionte Buckley have also taken a few reps with the starting offense this summer and could compete for a few carries next season as part of the team’s corps of running backs. UC hopes to take advantage of the many different skill-sets available at running back, Jones said. “One of the big questions is running-back, which is pretty much going to be a running-back by committee situation. We have some really talented players there
and I think each one of their talents really compliments each other well,” Jones said. The receiver position will be bolstered by the return of Kembrel Tompkins and Anthony McClung – who combined for 1,219 receiving yards and eight touchdowns last season. Alex Chisum and tight-end Travis Kelce also return after significant contributions to last year’s passing attack. The entire Bearcat receiving core has been challenged to elevate their play this summer, Jones said. “We’ve really challenged Kembrel Tompkins and Anthony McClung to step up. The tight-end position is another position where we need someone to step up and show some consistency,” Jones said. The offensive line will also be rebuilding after the graduation of Evan Davis, Alex Hoffman, and first team all-Big East selection Randy Martinez . Despite the loss of several key players and four-year leader, JK Schaffer, the UC defense – which lead the NCAA in tackles for loss and sacks in 2011-12 - returns quite a bit more experience than the offense. D-line coach, Steve Stripling, will be hard-pressed to find replacements for NFL Draft picks Derek Wolfe (Denver Broncos) and John Hughes (Cleveland Browns). Cameron Beard, and Central Michigan Transfer John Williams appear to be the favored replacements. Regardless, the return of standout defensive ends Dan Giordano and Walter Stewart will help maintain the defensive pace UC displayed last season. Stewart appears to be filling the leadership void left by the departure of Schaffer, Jones said. “Walter has really stepped up and asserted himself as a leader of this football team, not only on defense, but throughout our entire program,” Jones said. “He’s really held everyone accountable starting with himself and he has had a tremendous offseason.” Returning linebackers Maalik Bomar and Nick Temple, along with JUCO transfer Greg Blair, have seen the majority of the first team action this summer. Soloman Tentman – who will finally get the opportunity to compete after a near career-ending knee injury two years ago – and impressive Freshman Ey”Shawn McClain will help to add some much-needed depth to the line backing corp. First team all-Big East selection Drew Frey will lead the UC defensive backfield, which is by far the most veteran unit on this year’s squad. Frey, Cameron Cheatum, Devin Drane, Adrian Witty and Chris WIlliams have all seen significant playing time during their UC careers; Trenier Orr and Arryn Chenault have also worked their ways into the first team conversation. The biggest priority defensively is the development of depth, said Jones. “Defensively, it starts up front with the d-line where we graduated a lot of production and the same can be said at the linebacker position.” Jones said. “The biggest thing is developing defensive depth at every position.” The new look Bearcats will open up their season against the Pittsburgh Panthers on Thursday, Sep. 6 at 8 p.m. Stadium.

WATCH THE THRONE The University of Cincinnati volleyball team enters the 2012 season with hopes of winning a second straight Big East Tournament Championship.
The University of Cincinnati volleyball team will begin the 2012 season with a new head coach, Molly Alvey, for the first time since 2000, following Reed Sunahara’s resignation this past January. Alvey, who coached at the University of Houston prior to accepting the head coaching job at UC, will certainly have big shoes to fill — both on and off the court — as, Sunahara was UC’s all-time winningest volleyball coach. Sunahara held a career record of 289-109 and was considered a fan favorite in the Cincinnati area. UC finished the 2011 season with a 27-10 record (12-2 in the Big East) and secured its first Big East Tournament Championship in program history to go along with two previous regular season Big East Championships. Big East coaches picked the Bearcats to finish fourth in the conference in this year’s preseason poll. With 139 total points and one first place vote, UC trails Louisville, Marquette and Notre Dame. If the Cats are going to repeat their impressive tournament run in 2012, they will have to do so without the 2011 Big East Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, Missy Harpenau. Harpenau, a four-year starter for UC, earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America honorable mention and the Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Women’s Sports Association named her Local Sportswoman of the Year. She recorded more than 1,000 digs and 1,000 kills in her four years at UC. But UC does return a two-time AVCA all-America honorable mention selection in senior Jordanne Scott. As the only returning UC player named to the preseason first team all-Big East Squad, Scott will be looked to as UC’s leader. Scott will be joined by fellow returning standouts junior defensive specialist Emily Macintyre and senior middle blocker Emily Hayden. The Bearcats open the season Aug. 24 at 5 p.m. against Iowa State at the University of Tennessee Tournament.

LIFE & ARTS It’s been a wonderful year for hip-hop. The popularity of artists like Lil Wayne — who just announced he is taking a break from rapping — has dwindled and been replaced by an experimental fury from artists like Danny Brown and Death Grips. The old school Def Jux sage El-P has nestled in perfectly with this burgeoning scene. Continuing his streak of auditory genius, the producer/rapper has brought together a bunch of tracks that sound, quite literally, like the future of hip hop. Listen to the song “Oh Hail No” to get a taste for the album and hear exceptional appearances by Danny Brown and Mr. Muthafu**in’ eXquire.
El-P
“Cancer 4 Cure”
Father John Misty “Fear Fun”
Sometimes musicians function pretty well despite heavy drug usage. Joshua Tillman, the former drummer for Fleet Foxes, is a prime example of this — although Tillman released “Fear Fun” under the moniker Father John Misty. “I got into my van with enough mushrooms to choke a horse and started driving down the coast with nowhere to go,” said Tillman in a recent interview. “Fear Fun” is dripping with psychedelic narrative and catchy riffs, none stronger than in the track “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings.”
t s Be SUMMER ALBUMS
2012
Lower Dens “Nootropics”
A brooding, atmospheric, yet unexpectedly inspired release from Baltimore based group. “Nootropics” is the culmination of drifting ambient sounds, heavy influences from artists like Kraftwerk and Neu!, and electronic drive. The record can be summarized by the jaw-dropping single, “Brains,” which stands among the best tracks of the year.
Liars “WIXIW” “WIXIW” is another exceptional release from a band that has never shied away from exploring new musical territory. The record — pronounced “wish you” — experiments heavily with electronic sounds and post-punk ethos. “WIXIW” is dark and permeates with themes of selfdoubt, but remains incredibly pleasing from a sonic perspective. Check out the songs “No.1 Against the Rush” and “The Exact Color of Doubt” to get a feel for the album’s Joy Divisionmeets-Aphex Twin sound.
Aesop Rock “Skelethon”
After a six-year break, Ian Bavitz returns with arguably Aesop Rock’s best release to date. It’s a grand statement, coming from a guy who bases his morality on the lyrical content of “Float” and “Labor Days” — two of his earlier releases. Every song on “Skelethon” is as memorable as the next. The instrumentals are genre-bending, the flow is polished and the lyrics are thought provoking. This album is everything I’ve grown to love about hip-hop.
LIFE & ARTS “Ruby Sparks” succeeds in turning its spark into a flame inside the heart, but fails to stimulate the mind even though the opportunity is there. The directors behind “Little Miss Sunshine” team up again for another quirky film featuring Paul Dano. This time Dano plays Calvin Weir-Fields, a young writer reluctantly riding on the declining fame his first novel brought him 10 years prior. Now, Calvin sits in his chic modern home at a desk with a vintage typewriter, suffering from an inability to write anything new. Calvin’s mental and emotional woes force him into therapy and turn him into an emotionally fragile neurotic. The portrayal of a writer who can’t write comes off a bit clichéd, but it’s hinted throughout the film that this was done intentionally to merge fictional elements into a realistic setting. Dano is often cast as a character with pent up emotions, unfortunately spending most of his time swinging from gloomy to awkwardly endearing. In “Ruby Sparks,” he plays Calvin with a borderline psychopathic intensity. But Dano leaves something to be desired as a romantic lead. He comes across too self-important to be genuinely happy or sorry. Dano’s Calvin spends most of his time
with his brother and his dog he acquired in a failed effort to meet people. His search for love seems fruitless until he begins writing about “the perfect girl” — an unconventionally pretty and quirky bright-eyed young woman named Ruby Sparks (Zoe Kazan). Calvin becomes increasingly invested in Ruby and even confesses to his brother he’s fallen in love with her. His brother argues Ruby is an idealized and unrealistic girl and that Calvin knows nothing about actual women. Then Calvin walks downstairs to discover that an actual woman, who characterizes every trait he wrote, has materialized in his kitchen — and her name is Ruby. After spending a while thinking he finally succumbed to mental illness, Calvin accepts the reality of his relationship with Ruby. Once Ruby becomes flesh and blood, the film shifts in tone. She is no longer the romanticized character Calvin created, rather an independent creature with her own desires. Zoe Kazan embodies the emotionally complex, reluctantly bipolar and painfully sad Ruby perfectly. But despite a real life relationship, the on-screen chemistry between Kazan and Dano never fully develops. After a trip to Big Sur to spend time with Calvin’s mother and stepfather,
their relationship begins to unravel, as Ruby becomes unsatisfied with Calvin. Before things completely fall apart, Calvin attempts to write her more to his liking, which leads to an emotional and surprisingly intense climax. The film delves into issues such as the male ego and problems in idealizing a person in a relationship.
Even after a four-year hiatus Bloc Party hasn’t lost its dance-infused sound. That’s apparent on its fourth studio album, appropriately entitled “Four.” The British indie-rock band has an unmistakable sound made possible by lead singer Kele Okereke’s alluring accent and shrill vocal range. The song “We Are Not Good People” shows Okereke can sing gently, groan deeply and wail sharply all in one song. The track explodes with a crazed rock vibe carried by scattered and catchy guitar riffs. There’s a mosh-like quality to the track — a trait not typical for Bloc Party — which can likely be attributed to its new producer, Alex Newport (producer
for post-hardcore band At the Drive-In). That tone is revisited in “Coliseum,” only this time with a more western vibe. The slow and twangy beginning creates suspense while Okereke’s mysterious vocal builds tension, murmuring all the way to the breakdown. An intricate beat shaped by quick guitar strums and steady drumming introduces “Team A.” It would be tough to be on the receiving end of fierce lyrics like the phrase “I’m going to ruin your life” repeated several times, which is followed by, “See we ain’t at school, snitches get stitches / You might be fast boy but I’m faster than you.” But the record isn’t as bitter as it appears. “The Healing” grants the album the

But instead of making a statement about these themes, the film falls into old romantic comedy clichés, giving the film an aborted cerebral element and leaving audiences without something genuinely thought provoking.
mellow touch it needs, beginning with a tranquil introduction and a melodic, drawn out chorus. The serene sound and droned vocals soar and plunge. These aspects, along with the fervent lyrics equip the song with its own healing abilities. The mellow vibe continues with “Real Talk.” It’s a simple song with a fixed and repetitive hum maintained throughout. The emotion conveyed in Bloc Party’s music is one of the reasons they are so memorable, and “Four” certainly has it in spades. Although their electronic “Flux” stage didn’t catch on, fans will be pleased to hear a fusion of Bloc Party’s traditional sound with just enough experimentation to keep it interesting.
