The elusive dining hall only marketed to athletes QUINLAN BENTLEY | STAFF REPORTER Tucked quietly away on the 700 level of the Richard E. Lindner Center, a littleknown dining facility has stirred up debate surrounding preferential treatment of student athletes. The Varsity Club is a dining facility that debuted last fall as a partnership between Food Services and UC Athletics to lessen demand at the university’s other dining facilities in response to rising enrollment and to better meet student athletes’ nutritional needs. Before its transformation, the space was originally titled the Seasongood Dining Room and was a faculty dining facility operated by the nonprofit Cincinnati Faculty Club, Inc. As the organization’s membership declined, the dining room was forced to close in 2017 — used only occasionally to cater events, said M.B. Reilly, university spokesperson. Considerably smaller than other oncampus dining facilities, the Varsity Club seats only 50 to 75 people, said Reilly, adding that it would be more appropriate to call the space a “dining room.” The space is also more limited in terms of operating hours, only open Monday through Friday and closing between mealtimes – dinner is not served on Fridays. The Varsity Club also offers a smaller selection of options with two entrée stations and a single salad stand, compared with

CenterCourt’s eight entree stations and additional salad options, said Katy Wahlke, director of food services at UC. The facility is completely open to all meal plans and accepts other forms of payment as well, she said. Food served at the facility is no different than what is served at UC’s other dining halls. “What all of this means in terms of actual usage is that the space can fill up quickly,” said Reilly. “For instance, if teams want to eat together in order to keep pace with early morning to late day practice, training, travel and
competition schedules as well as academic course loads, they need to eat in shifts due to space limitations.” Despite receiving a small amount of publicity when it was first unveiled, the facility is relatively unknown on campus. Jordan Wentland, a second-year cyber security student, said he stumbled across the Varsity Club completely by accident while exploring campus. “I never knew it existed,” said Wentland. “There’s no mention of it anywhere on UCs dining sites or anything of the sort,” he said. UC Food Services has yet to list any information about the facility on their
website. Some have even taken to social media to protest what they say is UC’s lack of transparency, while others view the facility’s existence as inconsequential. “[One] reason student athletes are likely more aware of the facility is because student-athletes’ meal plans support the operations of the facility,” said Reilly. “It doesn’t meet most students’ needs as do other campus dining options that have wider food selections and continuous hours of operation from early morning to late night,” she said. Considering National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) regulations that prohibit universities from giving preferential treatment to student athletes, Wentland said he views this lack of advertisement as an underhanded attempt by UC to skirt the rules and offer athletes a private dining facility. “I think this is UC’s way of getting around these regulations,” he said. “It’s technically a dining hall open to anyone, but only student athletes are told about it, and I find that to be incredibly dishonest.” Nevertheless, Reilly said the facility cannot handle additional demand. “The limited hours and seating already present basic space and service fulfillment issues, and additional promotion beyond the initial marketing might well create more,” she said. “Creating demand that cannot be fulfilled is a poor service model.”
Women’s honorary to host homecoming dance KEELY BROWN | NEWS EDITOR Sigma Phi, a women’s honorary at the University of Cincinnati, will host the 12th annual Fall Ball during the university’s homecoming weekend. The official UC homecoming dance will be held at Bogart’s Thursday, Nov. 7, from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. The annual event was discontinued years ago but was rejuvenated by Sigma Phi in the early 2000s, said Abygia Tibebe, co-fall ball chair for the organization alongside Amari Thomas. “It was a tradition — Sigma Phi brought it back and made it cooler and hipper,” she said. “We know that homecoming week has like a ton of events going on, and so the fact that we’re able to bring back this tradition again means a lot.” Sigma Phi was founded in 1994 and its foundational pillars include women’s empowerment, scholarship and love for UC, said Tibebe. The organization strives to fulfill its pillars through campus involvement, programming, and service and outreach efforts within the surrounding community. Sigma Phi also recognizes women for their achievements,

spirit, and desire and dedication to making a difference in the future. Bogart’s, a popular music venue on Vine Street, was chosen because of its ideal location close to campus, said Tibebe. “We know that Bogart’s has a really good relationship with UC, so we’ve
been able to work with them and ensure that everything will be good for the night,” Tibebe said. “We want it to be as successful as possible, so we just wanted an event close to students.” The UC Bearcat will attend Fall Ball and food and drinks will be available,
said Tibebe. The organization’s “Daisy Scholarship” will also be presented at the event. The scholarship is given to a third-year or above who exemplifies the honorary’s pillars, said Tibebe. “These are just kind of factors that make our event unique because we really want students from all sectors of campus to come under one roof and celebrate and enjoy being a Bearcat,” she said. Fall Ball is open to anyone, but the organization specifically targets students and alumni, said Tibebe. Tickets are $10 for individuals and $7 for groups, which include entrance to the event, snacks and transportation. Tibebe encourages students to purchase tickets as soon as possible. “We make group tickets on a little bit cheaper because we want groups and organizations to come to our event, and that was our way to intensify that,” she said. “They should buy [tickets] soon, and we will love for anyone and everyone to be at our event because we truly believe that with different partnerships with officers and organizations, we can make this event awesome.”

Cincinnati Insurance Companies Inc. has officially moved staff into the University of Cincinnati’s 1819 Innovation Hub. ADAM DOTY | CONTRIBUTOR
QUINLAN BENTLEY | STAFF REPORTER Cincinnati Insurance Companies, Inc. (CIC) has officially moved staff into its new space at the University of Cincinnati’s 1819 Innovation Hub, solidifying yet another partnership in UC’s growing business network. This long anticipated move was made official last week in a tweet by the 1819 Hub. The partnership between UC and CIC – a subsidiary of the Cincinnati Financial Corporation – was announced late last year. “Our vision is to be the best insurance company serving independent agents,” said Teresa Cracas, senior vice president and chief risk officer for CIC in a news release at the time of the announcement. “The innovation hub is a way to test ideas that help us achieve this vision and to bring the best ideas to life in our business. UC provides thought-leadership in the innovation space and connects us to talent that will be helpful to us on our innovation journey.” Talks between UC and CIC began last fall as the company was searching for a way to better connect with talent, said David Adams, chief innovation officer for UC. He added the proximity to the university allows for greater access to students, researchers and even other corporate partners. “We are now living in an environment where the pace of change just continues to accelerate,” Adams said. “If you think about innovation relative to the pace of change in new technologies, new processes or new products, having an environment where you can connect to the talent to help you solve some of these problems on an ongoing basis becomes really, really important.” This kind of connection was a major influence behind the creation of 1819 said Adams, whose initial charge from UC President Neville Pinto was to connect the university with the surrounding community.
“If you think about it, we really haven’t had a place where the university and the community can connect,” Adams said. 1819 is just one example of a larger, nationwide trend –public universities across the country are similarly adopting their own innovation hubs. Opening October of last year, the 1819 Innovation Hub occupies a 100,000 square foot structure at the corner of Reading Road and Lincoln Avenue. According to its website, the space incorporates a 12,000-square-foot makerspace, shared office spaces, classrooms, huddle rooms and gathering spaces. Besides creating opportunities for companies, Adams said the space allows students to engage with partner companies on a regular basis, and that 1819’s Venture Lab also provides resources for students and faculty to commercialize their own ideas. CIC has currently staffed the space with interns working on IT testing, but also plans to house “venture teams” – a team of associates from multiple departments within the company – that will use campus resources in an innovative approach to problem-solving, said Betsy Ertel, vice president of corporate communications at CIC. “I think mainly we’re looking for connection into the greater innovation ecosystem and connecting with all the great talent of UC students and faculty,” she said, adding the company hopes its presence on campus will also help in recruitment efforts. “We hope to introduce lots of people to what Cincinnati Insurance does, what the industry does and all of the ways we’re helping our community,” Ertel said. CIC will be joined at 1819 by Kroger, Procter & Gamble, Fifth Third, Kingsgate Logistics and Cincinnati Bell.

Men’s soccer player explores career in photography CORBEN BONE | CONTRIBUTOR Tyler Glasenapp first picked up a camera about five years ago during his freshman year of high school. He was on vacation with his cousins in Florida, and they were messing around with a decent digital camera. Glasenapp’s curiosity took over and since he grabbed the camera, he hasn’t stopped taking photos. Frim Medina, Ohio, Glasenapp is a redshirt freshman goalkeeper for the UC men’s soccer team and a marketing student. While soccer takes up a lot of his time and energy, it doesn’t influence his photography. Glasenapp tries to keep the two separate as they sometimes both act as therapeutic tools. Glasenapp has started to develop a style of his own. He mostly enjoys lifestyle photos where he can depict or invoke the emotion of the person he’s photographing. He says he wants to make “the viewer feel something.” However, he is open to all kinds of photography and loves learning new techniques and styles. If soccer is demanding or frustrating, photography helps him escape those emotions and supplies a mental break. On the other hand, soccer can also act as an outlet. “During season it is hard to find the
energy to get out and take photos – make really in depth shoots happen, so I usually bring my point and shoot 35mm film camera around just when I do everyday things, and if something catches my eye then Ill take a quick photo of it,” Glasenapp said. “I use all different kinds of cameras. For me, the best camera I could use is whatever I have on me at the moment.” The most convenient and accessible camera Glasenapp uses is his iPhone, which is always available. He also uses a Polaroid instant camera, 35mm point and shoot and a few different DSLR’s including a Canon 6D and a Nikon d850. All of his cameras and other equipment are essential for taking photos, but he values ideas above everything else. Glasenapp is hoping to use his photography as his main source of income after he graduates. “I’m really open to most career paths,” Glasenapp said. “I want to stay away from being solely a senior portrait or family photographer. I’d love to do creative editorials for magazines and clothing brands.” The amount of practice it takes to acquire the skills to become a professional photographer is a bit different than a normal education earned at UC. There are photography
classes offered at UC. Glasenapp took one, but was not too thrilled by it. “I took one class last year on photography and hated it,” he said. “Photography is one of those things you can’t really teach. You see things in a different way than the everyday person does or you don’t. You can teach me how to use a camera but you can’t teach me what to take a photo of.” Glasenapp feels the lessons he has learned within the marketing department will serve him well in understanding what consumers are thinking. In turn, help his ability to sell. “I think I was blessed to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life at a young age, allowing me to practice it and get really good at it before I am thrown into the real world,” Glasenapp said. Glasenapp has discovered a passion for photography, while not always sharing it. It is a way for him to enjoy artistic expression without giving it all away. “I haven’t been sharing a ton of work lately,” he said. “I tend to go through phases of wanting to show everyone everything and then keep all of it to myself.”

UC assembles time capsule for bicentennial DAVID REES | FEATURES EDITOR
The University of Cincinnati will be curating items to honor the 200-year history of the university, and putting them inside of a steel capsule. The capsule is set to be open in 2069. PROVIDED | KELLY GRANT
The University of Cincinnati is collecting items for a time capsule to be housed inside Fifth Third Arena in recognition of the university’s bicentennial. The time capsule will be reopened in 50 years when UC celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2069. It will include various awards and other memorabilia from students. “We have a lot of bicentennial pieces, but we’re also looking for stuff from students, like personal reflections, list of top tens, menus from your favorite restaurants or even items from groups you are a part of,” said Kelly Grant, bicentennial associate director of alumni and donor experience. UC originally scheduled to accept submissions through Oct. 18 and seal the time capsule Nov. 8
at the Bicentennial Bash, which will officially end the bicentennial year. In an effort to gain more items to fully represent the student body experience that truly reflect the UC story, the deadline to submit items has been pushed back to Nov. 29. The date in which the time capsule will be sealed is yet to be determined. With dimensions of 18 inches wide, 24 inches tall and 12 inches deep, items must be able to fit inside the capsule and larger items may need to be photographed instead. UC invites the community to think big about the message they wish to send to the future and what will best represent UC today. When submitting ideas, include details about the meaning behind an idea. Items inside the time capsule must not include wood, rubber bands, batteries, staples, paper
clips, or anything that could break down or leak over time which could damage other items or the time capsule itself. One may submit as many ideas as they would like and they do not necessarily need to provide the item they propose. UC encourages the community to work together and submit items and ideas on behalf of student organizations, groups, office, departments, class or family. Possible items could be: • Newspapers, newsletters, magazines, artifacts, photos and clothing • Posters and programs from various UC events • Predictions for the future • Personal reflections • Pictures of things that may not be here in 50 years • List of current popular expressions heard on campus
• Photobook of campus buildings, sculptures, gardens and people in the UC community • Anything that represents the UC experience All items submitted will be reviewed by a committee of students, faculty, staff and alumni. The items the most reflect the UC experience and UC’s first 200 years will be chosen to go inside the time capsule. Anyone in the UC community and the community-at-large can contribute to the time capsule via an online form, submitting via social media using #OpenIn2069 or by bringing items to the UC Alumni Association at 176 West McMillan St. or UC Foundation at University Hall, suite 100.

Social work professor leads suicide prevention education organization
Jennifer Wright-Berryman has been an activist for mental health and suicidal awareness since three teenagers in her hometown took their own lives in the span of 14 months. PROVIDED | JENNIFER WRIGHT-BERRYMORE
SHANNON SMITH | CHIEF REPORTER A University of Cincinnati professor is working to help students beyond the classroom by encouraging suicide prevention education on campus and across the country. Jennifer Wright-Berryman is an assistant professor of social work for UC’s College of Allied Health Sciences (CAHS) and a grassroots advocate for mental health education and suicide awareness. As the lead researcher for the national organization Hope Squad, she is working to implement and study the effectiveness of various suicide prevention programs and establish more of these programs in Cincinnati. Hope Squad is comprised of more than 600 teams throughout the U.S. and Canada that work to integrate suicide education into the curriculum along with a peerto-peer suicide prevention program. In schools ranging from elementary to college, individuals are nominated by their peers by asking the student body a single question: “If you were experiencing emotional distress, who would you trust to talk about it with?” The nominated students then participate in programs and courses to educate them on the signs that someone may be at risk of committing suicide and what to do about
it. The Hope Squad members encourage their peers to confide in them and take the necessary course of action if someone needs guidance. Wright-Berryman has been a vocal activist for mental health and suicide awareness since her small hometown of Columbus, Indiana, experienced the loss of three teenagers to suicide in a span of 14 months. As a social worker working and studying in adult psychiatric fields, she used her resources to start a grassroots initiative in her hometown to spread awareness and educate people about the phenomena of childhood suicide. Through this research and growing involvement with mental health education, Wright-Berryman came across Hope Squad and began to work with the organization to implement the practices along with her community-based suicide prevention model. Over the past five years she has worked with schools throughout the country to introduce and study the effectiveness of these kinds of programs as the organization’s lead researcher. While UC does not have a Hope Squad on campus, the student organization Bearcat Support Network is similar in its mission to provide support and expand education. The group hosts different events to encourage conversations about mental health including guest speakers and other activities with the department of Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS). Along with this, CAPS has introduced an innovative self-care app called Reach Out, which provides tips for dealing with emotional distress, emergency contacts and more. The department also recently partnered with Therapist Assistance Online to offer online self-help programs and other modules intended to help students learn how to deal with depression, anxiety, stress and suicidal thoughts. Wright-Berryman teaches an interprofessional suicide prevention course at UC that is available for students of all majors to enroll in. She also runs a website called Real Talk about Suicide where she blogs about her research and experience along with offering resources. Wright-Berryman says the next steps to improve these issues is to find a common language for people to openly discuss their emotions. “We have to normalize talking about our feelings,” she said. “My big goal is to get communities to change the culture and the stigma against mental health so people feel comfortable talking about it.”

LGBTQ Center hosts inclusive fashion show
Drag queens Jessica Dimon, Amaya Sexton and Quasi Powell performed at the University of Cincinnati’s LGBTQ Center’s gender inclusive fashion show Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2019. PROVIDED
DAVID REES | FEATURES EDITOR The University of Cincinnati LGBTQ Center hosted a gender inclusive fashion Oct. 29 in Tangeman University Center (TUC) in conjunction with LGBTQ History Month to showcase different fashions as a mode of expressing gender. The LGBTQ Center aimed to create a fun and engaging event for students on campus, particularly students who identify as transgender, gender non-conforming, gender queer and along the gender spectrum of various identities. Intentional to represent the LGBTQ community, the center picked five different models from an open call who identify as transgender, non-conforming, gender queer or nonbinary. The models each wore three different looks. “We wanted a day look which was fun and which you would wear out to class or on an afternoon stroll and then we wanted to show a night look — what’s it like going out, what is it like celebrating and enjoying yourself with nighttime activities,” said Preston Keith, director of UC’s LGBTQ Center. “Then we wanted to do a professional look, because for a lot of folks, it’s hard to find clothing that aligns with who you are and how you identify.” The outfits varied from formal gowns to fur coats and skirts, and included rougher looks featuring combat boots. The center also invited three drag queens to perform from the Cincinnati area: Jessica Dimon, Amaya Sexton and Quasi Powell. Dimon and Sexton regularly perform at Main Event, and Powell
performs at Cabaret Cincinnati. “We also knew that we wanted to invite drag performers because drag is the ultimate form of hyper expression,” Keith said. “So we wanted to make it theatrical and fun but also real life. Merging those two was the best thing to do.” The center hopes attendees took away the value and importance of being of being able to express gender through clothing and understand — whether day, night or professional — looks and styles can vary in many ways and all those ways are valid. The center is hoping to make the gender inclusive fashion show an annual event. This was the first time the center held drag queens and a fashion show at the same event. The center also houses a gender inclusive fashion closet. It wanted to create a safe space for members of the community to try on clothes, figure out their style and provide access to clothing for free. “Clothing can be cost prohibitive for a lot of folks, particularly when they identify as transgender and non-conforming,” Keith said. “We have a lot of people who don’t have the opportunity to explore different sizes and different outfits because they don’t feel comfortable in the dressing rooms or in the stores, or they experienced transphobia when they’re out shopping.”

Restaurant roundup: Three vegetarian-friendly spots to check out this fall extreme greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production and the food sector overall by “70% and 63%, respectively.” If you already practice a no-meat diet or want to make the change, this time of year could be a challenge for buying good, organic produce as many fruits and veggies fall out of season. Going out to eat can seem difficult as well, since many chain restaurants lack variety in the vegan and vegetarian departments. Luckily, Cincinnati is home to a selection of delicious, affordable eateries that specialize in nomeat dishes. Here are a few to try this fall.
Loving Hut Elusive Cow, a restaurant located on Fairfield Avenue, serves plenty of vegetarian items for customers. FACEBOOK | ELUSIVE COW
CHLOE ROSENBERGER | STAFF REPORTER It seems that meatless diets are growing trendier by the minute. Amid a worsening obesity crisis in America, many are turning to plant-based meals, which editors of the Vegetarian Times say significantly aid in weight loss, ward off diseases and contribute to longer lifespans. Vegetarianism also provides a healthier alternative for the planet. As concerns over the environment grow every day, Justin Worland of Time Magazine found that a widespread vegan or vegetarian diet could cut
Listed as Yelp’s number one pick for affordable vegetarian eating in Cincinnati, Loving Hut is a great spot for a light lunch with a fully vegan menu. Dine in or carry out from its location on Montgomery Road in Pleasant Ridge, about 20 minutes from campus. The restaurant’s interior may look like a regular American diner, but the classic feel is contradicted by an exciting array of Asian-influenced appetizers, including spring rolls, dumplings and jasmine rice, which pair excellently with hearty paninis and meatless burgers. Best of all, the restaurant brand promotes a message of peace and tolerance and will modify meals for those with food allergies.
The Elusive Cow For a modern take on vegetarian-friendly food, head over to Elusive Cow, a sleek café and bar hybrid located in Bellevue, Kentucky, just across the river from Krohn Conservatory. Elusive Cow specializes in using locally-sourced ingredients to craft scrumptious sandwiches and tacos, also serving Mediterranean staples like falafel for an exotic twist. The restaurant emphasizes a theme of thriving community, utilizing traditional meats produced in Ohio and bison from Kentucky to entice meat lovers and vegetarians alike, building upon a cohesive eating atmosphere.
Melt Revival This eclectic spot in Northside is helmed by two women with a passion for fresh cuisine – one with more than 15 years of experience as a vegan chef. Sample the veggie flatbreads, no-meat cheesesteak or vegan chili for a yummy midday meal. For early birds, Melt Revival has a light breakfast menu full of superfood selections and organic versions of classic staples. There are plenty of options for meat-eaters, as well. Also provided is a varied drink list that includes Guayaki Teas and lavender kombucha on tap, and the restaurant’s homey environment will make it one you’ll want to revisit with friends again and again.
Review: ‘Rocky Horror’ is a raunchy, wild ride HANNAH NABERHAUS | STAFF REPORTER CCM’s production of “The Rocky Horror Show” is the perfect way to mark the Halloween season. True to the tradition of “Rocky Horror,” this production was intimate with the audience, taking them on a wild ride through humor, raunchiness and delightful strangeness. The technical skills of the cast and crew give the audience a top-quality show that makes you forget everything else for a few hours. From a production standpoint, the star of the show was the excellence in costuming and makeup. In a show where this aspect is absolutely essential, the show’s edgy nature was not lost on the audience. It is true that the campy, “out there” costumes of characters such as Eddie and Dr. Frank-NFurter were well done, but especially notable were the dark, revealing looks that the ensemble sported. The designs did not shy away from goth and androgynous themes that are so true to the heart of the show. No cast member was left behind in this case. Ethan Zeph’s performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter and was particularly enticing. From the moment Zeph stepped out on stage as one of the most iconic characters in pop culture, he never once made the audience question the authenticity of his Dr. Frank-N-Furter. With confidence and charisma, you couldn’t help but cheer for this sweet transvestite as he made his entrance and was able to keep up that endearing character. As for Janet Weiss and Brad Majors, Mikayla Renfrow and Jake Waford gave the audience a perfect show and complemented each other’s performances quite well. Complete with spellbinding voices, Renfrow and Waford were more than convincing as naive newlyweds on a sexual journey. Their delivery of the hilarity that happens when you put an all-American couple in a countercultural heaven is perfect. The excellent performances and visuals of the show were
certainly enhanced by the runway-style stage and the set design. The cast was able to get up close and personal with audience members as the debauchery unfolded. Though not a large performance space nor a particularly intricate design, every inch that they had was used intentionally. The space did not stifle the larger-than-life nature of the show and let the focus remain on performances of the cast.
“The Rocky Horror Show”. PROVIDED BY CCM
Seeing this iconic show done so well was a true delight. If you’re looking to be transported to a world where traditional notions of gender and sexuality are turned up on its head — or if you’re just in the mood for a spooky show — make sure to catch “Rocky Horror” at CCM through Nov. 10. Be prepared to laugh, cheer, and do the Time-Warp.

Mike Bohn reconsidering leaving UC for USC MATT HUFFMON | MANAGING EDITOR MITCHELL PARTON | MULTIMEDIA DIRECTOR

UC football: What we learned from nail-biting win at East Carolina SPENCER SCHULTZ | SPORTS EDITOR If there’s a game the University of Cincinnati football team has had this season that’s provided relentless excitement, nail biting moments and jump out of your seat plays, it would be the 46-43 win at East Carolina University Saturday evening. UC flirted with defeat in the fourth quarter before freshman Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner made another unforgettable interception — running back an errant Holton Ahlers pass 62-yards to put the Bearcats up 43-40 with just under five minutes left. The Bearcats defense had two weeks to prepare for ECU’s offense, which ranks near the bottom of the American Athletic Conference (AAC). It made it look like UC was at Ohio Stadium all over again, except the Bearcats were able to keep up this time. Michael Warren looked like vintage Mike Warren with three touchdowns, sophomore quarterback Desmond Ridder was able to find success on the ground (146 rushing yards) and Sam Crosa made the game-winning 32-yard field goal to send the Bearcats home happy.
Here are a few takeaways heading into homecoming: Warren is in for a big finish Warren had his fourth career three touchdown game (first of the season) while rushing for 141 yards on 18 attempts. Fickell said last week he hopes Warren isn’t plagued with injuries the rest of the way, but he looked 100% healthy after leaving UC’s last game against Tulsa. If he remains healthy, he’s bound to have a better ending than he did last season, and it started Saturday. Warren has a good chance to breakout, as UC’s four remaining games are against run defenses ranked outside the top five in the AAC. The defense got its wakeup call After arguably being on a defensive high since its win against Miami (OH) Sept. 14, UC got a wakeup call from a team they may have least expected. They allowed Ahlers to surpass his season-high of 313 passing yards in the first half (316) and allowed wide receiver C.J. Johnson to catch and run all over. Johnson finished with an AAC season-high 283 receiving yards, while
Ahlers ended with a careerhigh 535 passing yards and four touchdowns. UC allowed 14 points in the first quarter, which was as many or fewer points than they’ve given up in four whole games this season. Ahlers was able to avoid the defensive front, quickly releasing the ball before a defenseman arrived and turned broken plays into significant gains. It held UC from getting a sack and was a rude awakening that they are really getting everyone’s best shot.
University of Cincinnati athletic director Mike Bohn could soon leave to take the same position at the University of Southern California, according to several reports. Bruce Feldman of The Athletic first reported the news last Friday, tweeting “USC is nearing a deal with Cincinnati AD Mike Bohn, a source close to the process tells The Athletic.” “We don’t comment on another institution’s search,” said a UC Athletics spokesperson in a text message to The News Record Friday afternoon. USC Athletics also declined to comment. Brandon Sosna, chief revenue officer for UC Athletics, is expected to join Bohn if he heads to USC, according to FOX19 reporter Joe Danneman. Danneman said a person familiar with the situation said Bohn was already in California Friday and would be announced as USC’s athletic director Monday. No official announcement was made by either UC or USC Monday. USC beat writer Scott Wolf wrote on his website InsideUSC Monday that his sources have said Bohn is reconsidering the decision to accept the job after USC president Carol Folt told him he couldn’t hire UC alum and former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer to replace current coach Clay Helton.
Sources said Maggie McKinley, UC’s senior associate athletic director, would likely serve as interim athletic director if Bohn and Sosna were to depart, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. USC athletic director Lynn Swann signed his letter of resignation Sept. 9 — two weeks into the football season. Dave Roberts, a special adviser to Folt who previously served as the school’s vice president of athletics compliance, currently serves as the interim athletic director at USC. Bohn has been at UC since 2014, leading major renovations of both Nippert Stadium and Fifth Third Arena. He took the position of athletic director formerly held by Whit Babcock, who left to take the same job at Virginia Tech. A University of Kansas and Ohio University alumnus, Bohn was the athletic director at the University of Colorado (2005-13). Prior to that, he served as the athletic director at San Diego State University (2003-05) and the University of Idaho (1998-2003). Bohn has made significant head coaching hires at UC, including Luke Fickell (football), John Brannen (men’s basketball), Michelle Clark-Heard (women’s basketball) and Scott Googins (baseball).
“Sauce” is a nickname that isn’t going away Gardner came through again in a timely manner — when UC had its back against the wall. He also put the Bearcats ahead against UCF with an interception returned for a touchdown. Head coach Luke Fickell and senior tight end Josiah Deguara laughed when talking about Gardner earning “Sauce” — the nickname he gave himself — but it might not be a laughing matter anymore. Gardner has made a name for himself and he’s only a freshman, so don’t expect it to go away anytime soon. Mike Bohn accepts recognition from the U.S. Army on behalf of the University of Cincinnati for its support during a men’s basketball game at Fifth Third Arena. TWITTER | MIKE BOHN

Jordan Thompson breaks record on senior day
SPENCER SCHULTZ | SPORTS EDITOR
Jordan Thompson finished with a careerhigh 50 kills and led a comeback on senior day at Fifth Third Arena Sunday afternoon, as the University of Cincinnati volleyball team defeated the University of Connecticut (UConn) 3-2. Thompson was a juggernaut, as the 50 kills came on 83 attack attempts (60%) and had at least eight kills in each set — including 12 in the fourth. “I started to feel more comfortable in the fourth set,”Thompson said. “I wasn’t off, but (sophomore setter Armania Heckenmueller) and I hadn’t really got that connection yet. She was giving me great sets and I was able to see the court a little bit better, so things got a little bit easier from there.” UC made the most of the final timeout after the third set, and whatever head coach Molly Alvey told the team worked, as they dominated the set 25-14 behind a .545 hitting percentage. Thompson remained relentless to that point. However, UConn won sets two and three by blocking Thompson and digging her attack attempts and turning them into kills. Still, UC was able to force a fifth set. “UConn came out prepared, but we put it together and the momentum changed in the fourth set,” Alvey said. “The biggest thing we talked about was keeping our composure and making plays … We did a

fantastic job with keeping the momentum, but let’s talk about [Thompson]. Fifty kills in a five set match is just incredible and she keeps breaking her own record. She was a big difference in the match.” Senior day was centered around Thompson — the only senior on the team.
However, she wasn’t the only one with a solid performance, as sophomore Maria Mallon had two services aces to go along with 16 kills and a season-high 21 digs. Mallon and the team watched as their leader dominate all afternoon, while the crowd watched highlights of Thompson’s
career on the jumbotron during timeouts. Thompson finished the fifth set with four straight kills and saved the best for last. The match-clinching kill came unassisted and followed with a standing ovation from the crowd. It was a near perfect ending to a near perfect collegiate career that still has four regular season matches, the AAC tournament and potentially the NCAA tournament. Thompson broke her own school record for single match kills (previously 44 against Wichita State in 2018), but she said the success of her career still hasn’t sunk in. “It’s always interesting for me to hear somebody tell me, ‘Oh, you don’t even know how good you are,’” she said. “For me, it’s about what I do to help my team win or what I can do to help my teammates play harder. That’s kind of my mentality.” Senior day was moved up to accommodate Thompson’s family traveling from her hometown of Edina, Minnesota, to watch her play. Volleyball has a match at East Carolina Nov. 15 and its final home match against Tulsa Nov. 17. UC travels to face the University of South Florida Friday at 7 p.m.
UC women’s soccer: Bearcats season ends in AAC Tournament
LOGAN LUSK | STAFF REPORTER
The University of Cincinnati women’s soccer team (No. 4 seed) saw its season come to an end Sunday, falling 1-0 to No. 5 seeded Southern Methodist University (SMU) in the first round of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. SMU came out of halftime and scored the only goal in the 50th minute on a header on a corner-kick from midfielder Celiana Torres to defender Brooke Golik. With its season on the line, UC never gave in. They doubled its shot count from three to six between the 72nd and 83rd minutes, including a volley from leading goal scorer Han Tang that was stopped by SMU goalkeeper Tatum Sutherland. Sutherland stopped any UC opportunities, especially
in the fifth minute when junior midfielder Sophie Gorman intercepted the ball at midfield, advanced into attacking position and used her right foot to drive the ball towards the bottom left corner of the net — only for Sutherland to save it in diving effort. Even though the chance came near the start of the match, it was one of only a handful of shots the Bearcats were able to create in the first half. After six unsuccessful attempts throughout the match, senior midfielder Sydney Goins had one final shot attempt in the 87th minute, but it sailed over the goal post. Despite an early exit out of the postseason, UC head coach Neil Stafford was largely positive when reflecting on the season. “We’ve had a lot of growth,” Stafford said.
“There are some standards that we didn’t meet and certain results where I think we could’ve had better outcomes. But right now, the important thing to do is focus on the positives. I believe these freshmen and sophomores have learned a lot from the number of minutes they’ve had this season.” Five of those freshmen and sophomores earned significant roles on the squad this season. Among the 19 matches, five started 10 or more matches, including freshmen Ashley Barron (18), Tang (16) and sophomores Alli Pestaina (12), Morgan Jackson (12) and Brandi Thomsen (11). The impact of the fresh faces shined under the consistency of the upperclassmen. Junior goalkeeper Madison Less started every match for UC this season and collected
her highest number of saves (57) in a season. Gorman ended the season with the highest number of shots on goal (19). “I’m going to miss playing with this group of girls,” senior defender Bri Costigan said. “I came in with an amazing class, and I feel like I’m leaving with an amazing class even with all the change we’ve had since my freshman year. Everyone who comes into this culture is amazing.” Costigan led UC with four assists this season and registered over 1,000 minutes played in each of her four seasons as a Bearcat. SMU advanced to the semi-finals to face Memphis, while UC finishes the season 7-9-3 (5-3-1 AAC).

Opinion: Video games to play before you die
The United Nations (UN) is responsible for keeping peace and developing friendly relations internationally. FLICKR | SANJIT IMGUR | NESMARK
SAMUEL SCHELL-OLSEN | OPINION EDITOR Since the boom of video games in the 1980s, these delightful pieces of tech have told stories, given friends fits of enjoyment and outrage, and have confused many from the baby boomers generation. Which video games are the most influential? Here are the games I’ve played that I believe you should play before you die. “Super Mario Bros” (Nintendo, 1985) The classic platform side-scroller, this game is the reason video games made a comeback after the 1983 video game crash. As Mario, you jump on enemies, collect power-ups, rescue the princess and defeat Bowser. “Super Mario World” (Super Nintendo, 1990) Even by today’s standards, this game is impressive in terms of graphics. Essentially an upgraded Super Mario Bros, there is more diverse levels, enemies and included the introduction to the iconic series character: Yoshi. “Earthbound” (Super Nintendo, 1995) The only Mother game to be released in America, Earthbound is one of the greatest RPGs (Role Playing Games) ever. A strange game, as the character Ness, you go on a journey to collect melodies to stop Giygas from destroying the world. It’s also an idiosyncratic portrayal of America from a Japanese perspective. “Super Mario 64” (Nintendo 64, 1996) A breakthrough game in terms of 3-dimensional gameplay, you play as Mario (again) and go through different worlds, journey through Princess Peach’s castle, complete different tasks to collect the stars and solve puzzles along the way. “Pokémon Stadium” (Nintendo 64, 1999) A great game to introduce players to the Pokémon universe, Pokémon Stadium was the first game to have Pokémon in the 3D space.You can play as all 151 Pokémon (all the Pokémon at the time), face the
gym leaders and participate in several tournaments. “Halo: Combat Evolved” (Xbox, 2001) Set in the distant future, you play as Master Chief, and try to discover the secrets of Halo, which is an artificial, ring-shaped world. While GoldenEye 007 was the first classic first-person shooter, Halo was the first one to have a diverse world, lore, plot and universe. “Super Smash Bros. Melee” (GameCube, 2001) A fighting game featuring Nintendo’s most beloved characters, this game had 25 different characters, great boss battles, beautiful stages and fun collectables. This is the essential fighting game. “Kingdom Hearts II” (PlayStation 2, 2005) Featuring Disney and Final Fantasy characters, this game has you travel to different worlds, fighting classic Disney villains and a new group of enemies, Nobodies. This game has more content than the first and has more to explore. “Life is Strange” (PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, IOS, 2015) An episodic adventure, you play as a time traveling heroine, and try to find a way to the save the fictional town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon from a storm.Your choices affect the story, and out of the games I’ve played, this one affects you the most emotionally. Honorable mentions: “Crash Bandicoot” (PlayStation, 1996), “GoldenEye 007” (Nintendo 64, 1997), “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” (Nintendo 64, 1998), “Donkey Kong 64” (Nintendo 64, 1999), “Paper Mario” (Nintendo 64, 2000), “Super Mario Sunshine” (GameCube, 2002), “Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door” (GameCube, 2004), “Wii Sports” (Wii, 2006), “Halo 3” (Xbox 360, 2007), “Fallout 3” (PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, 2008), “Call of Duty: Black Ops II” (PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, 2012), “Fallout 4” (PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, 2015), “Red Dead Redemption 2” (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, 2018).
Opinion: The United States should consider leaving the United Nations SAMUEL SCHELL-OLSEN | OPINION EDITOR It shouldn’t shock anyone, but the United Nations (UN) continues to stun people with its questionable decisions. This month, the UN Human Rights Council welcomed Venezuela to its ranks. Venezuela is as worthy of being on a Human Rights Council as Electronic Arts (EA) being awarded Best Costumer Service for a corporation. Venezuela is in such chaos that zoos are feeding their animals to desperate people and 4.5 million Venezuelans have left the ailing nation since 2015. The authoritariansocialist government led by Nicholas Maduro has been a corrupt disaster. The fact the UN chose Venezuela over Costa Rica confirms the United States under the Trump Administration was right to leave the UN Humans Right Council. What is the point of working in a council promoting human rights, if those countries routinely violate human rights? You really think countries like Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Qatar are going to be “reformed” because they’re under a council
that supports human rights? They aren’t going to stop using child soldiers, violence against the LGBTQ community and stoning people because they’re in a council. The UN has failed the principles in which it was founded on. From its own Charter, it says in Chapter One: Purposes and Principles, “To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace.”This has failed, as the UN has compromised strengthening human rights to maintain better foreign relations. One can argue the globe hasn’t seen a World War III, but is it worthy of tarnishing human rights to not anger human rights abusing nations? The UN for example, held a moment of silence for North Korean dictator Kim Jong-II in 2011. Are countries so afraid of ticking off a country like North Korea that it will bend over and respect a man that stood against everything the UN is
supposed to stand for? The UN is also radically anti-Israel, to deny it would be putting your head in the sand. In 1975, the UN passed a resolution which declared Zionism, “form of racism and racial discrimination.” In 2016, the UN passed a resolution that declared Israel as the only violator of “mental, physical and environmental health” which is an insane contention. United States taxpayers pay the global organization 22% of its budget, $1.2 billion. Why should taxpayers pay for an organization that violates its own rules when that money can go into infrastructure or mental health research? As former UN Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley said, “When the United Nations consistently fails in its duty to act collectively, there are times in the life of states that we are compelled to take our own action.”

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.
