Cincy City Council requests return of troopers sent to Standing Rock LAUREN MORETTO | NEWS EDITOR

A majority of Cincinnati City Council has issued a letter to Gov. John Kasich requesting he bring home 37 Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers that left Saturday for the Standing Rock protests in North Dakota.

The letter was sent in Tuesday and included signatures from Vice Mayor David Mann, President ProTem Yvette Simpson as well as Council members P.G. Sittenfeld, Chris Seelbach and Wendell Young.

“The images of militarized police facing off against unarmed Native Americans protecting their water and their history recalls back to the worst time period of American history; a

time when the Federal government committed genocide against native tribes in an attempt to gain control over their land and their resources,” the letter read.

Troopers were sent to fulfill a call for support from North Dakota authorities, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Robert Sellers, as reported by the Enquirer.

In the days following the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s first legal action July 27, which set out to block pipeline construction, activists and native groups from across the country flocked to North Dakota, making camp near the tribe’s reservation.

North Dakota law enforcement arrested over 140 protestors Thursday, bringing the number of arrests since the protests started to over 400.

Construction plans for the Dakota Access Pipeline were changed after residents of the predominately white city of Bismarck, North Dakota, where construction was originally routed through, opposed the pipeline coming near their water supply, as referenced in the letter.

In addition to concerns that the pipeline would harm sacred tribal land and burial grounds, native tribes share Bismarck’s worry that the pipeline will affect their water supply.

In addition to city council’s request, an online petition calling for the governor to rescind troops has garnered over 23,000 signatures.

Ohio police have no business getting involved in an “unconstitutional abuse of human rights” on the basis of protecting a pipeline that “threatens the water supply of a tribal nation in North Dakota,” according to the petition.

Some students support the petition’s outlook.

Ohio State Troopers have no business in North Dakota, according to Pratyusha Vempati, an electrical engineering graduate student.

“If it’s just North Dakota, maybe they should solve

their own problems,” said Vempati.

Some students find themselves wary of what the Ohio troopers’ role will be in North Dakota.

“From what I understand it’s not uncommon for states to do things like this — mutual aid sort of things.

Just this one happens to be

all tied in a whole political controversy,” said Thomas Foertmeyer, a fourth-year computer engineering student.

“I get why it’s happening.

I don’t think it was some nefarious move on Kasich’s part, but I wish we weren’t sending Ohio troopers out to go harass protestors.”

2016 Candidate Overview STEIN THANE HOUNCHELL | CONTRIBUTOR

In the wake of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) loss to Hillary Clinton in this year’s Democratic primary, many of us experienced a myriad of feelings — but most of all we felt a loss of what seemed to be a hopeful beginning in American politics.

Though the American democratic process was unable to give us our political savior in Bernie Sanders, we must not fall into nihilism.

We must not vote for a regression into a bygone era or merely for the status quo, but we must continue on in the fire Sanders first lit in many of us.

Personally, this will come when I cast my vote for Jill Stein.

Despite what many pundits may be professing on such a vote I fear not their threats.

Voting for Dr. Jill Stein is anything other than casting a vote into the abyss or de facto supporting the American incarnation of the Fuhrer.

It is voting for the principles which stand for and with the utmost moral certainty and health care and economic stability as basic human rights.

A society does not inhibit its citizens from achieving their dreams through quality education.

Prison systems do not degrade the human person of their dignity.

Political agency confronts racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression at their institutional core.

In these positions, Stein stands resolute and in doing so I am called to stand with the Green Party in casting my vote for her.

The two primary choices really can leave a bad taste in the mouths of voters, and voters have shown a tendency to cling to a candidate desperately, regardless of whether that candidate deserved that devotion or not, just so said voter could have their voice heard, just so the other did not win.

My stance on this is that I refuse to be limited to one or the other — I do not want to vote for someone who I do not think represents America in the best way or who would simply help the country move forward in one way or another.

I am voting for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

He is not perfect — not even close; he has ridiculous thoughts on the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency and it would have been nice if he had known where Aleppo was, even if I did not know where it was when it became a news story.

However, all of those issues are policy-based issues and I do not ever feel like I am sacrificing my morality or integrity to vote for him.

I am voting for Gary Johnson, who will not win, because I believe he is the best candidate for America right now.

CLINTON KELLIE COLEMAN | CONTRIBUTOR

The millennial generation is arguably the most liberal, accepting and diverse group since the radical ‘60s and people are more aware of the injustices their communities face with one of the largest issues in demand is affordable education.

The need for a degree is rising rise because of how quickly technology has advanced the economy; universities have spiked tuition

rates to unbelievable amounts.

As a result, many choose to begin higher education later in life or not at all since many cannot afford college and are fearful of the debt they will be burdened with after graduation.

Although the democratic candidate was born an upper-class citizen her social status has not kept her from understanding that not everyone in America has been born with such fortune.

After college, Clinton dove into the education system to understand and help children who may not be as academic or prosperous as others.

She found that the education problem starts as early as elementary school.

During earliest phase of academics, the divide in social structure and academic favoritism appear and many children stop being seen as individuals but instead as statistics.

The 2016 presidential election has been a soul-searching journey for everyone with a voting voice, more so than elections of past years, due to the polarizing nature of the two main candidates, Donald Trump of the Republican party and Hillary Clinton of the Democratic party.

improving the education system, Clinton aims to encourage those with challenges and disabilities to achieve just as much as their peers.

Clinton identifies that the system is damaged and unequal by seeing the damage first hand, which is the first step to repairing the problem.

TRUMP TRENT CARSON | CONTRIBUTOR

Many cases can be made for Trump, and just as many can be made against him, but the important question is not why to vote Trump, but why to not vote Hillary.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for the Middle East; a vote for her is a vote for corruption; a vote for her is a vote for the destruction of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and Western civilization as we know it.

Typically, the lesser of two evils logic should be avoided, because it can be used to justify literally anything: just as it was used to justify an alliance with Joseph Stalin in World War II to defeat Adolf Hitler, it could be used to justify a sleazebag to defeat a potential criminal.

Unfortunately, there are no options left.

Trump is not a good person, but quality of character was thrown out the window long ago in this election, and Trump is merely the result of a long string of Republican candidates who refused to stoop to the level of mudslinging — the level of their opponents — in order to win.

To be clear: if Hillary wins, the First Amendment is gone, then the Second, then the Fourth, then the Fifth, and then the Tenth; her Supreme Court justice choices are evidence enough.

If Trump wins, these changes will be deferred, if only for another four years.

The odds are stacked in Clinton’s favor in every possible way other than actual support — choose wisely.

Students for Survivors educates UC on assault EMILY STOLTZ | CONTRIBUTOR

A student group at the University of Cincinnati is pushing for the university to provide more resources and support for survivors of sexual assault.

Students for Survivors’ primary objectives are to educate the UC community about the nature of sexual assault and consent, and to support individual survivors, regardless of the degree of the assault of how recently it occurred.

Students for Survivors strives to be available on campus to support survivors, especially because there are no safe spaces on campus that are doing that right now, according to Grace

Cunningham, a third-year sociology student.

The group asserts that the university is less concerned with providing support for survivors and more concerned with branding UC as an institution that is already safe.

“We want to have a group of students that are supporting survivors in a way that’s survivor-focused,” said Cunningham. “Because often times, survivors are silenced.”

As of now, the group argues that UC does not put survivors at the forefront, but instead perpetuates the idea that sexual assault is rare on campus. In turn, the university does not have a group that uplifts SEE SFS PG 2

Cane Broome appears to be an unassuming student studying communication.

“At my old school I wanted to be a sports journalist — behind the scenes,” Broome said.

He likes watching “Law & Order” and is interested in using his communication skills to possibly pursue a career in the legal world.

“Shows like that; I’m really getting into that stuff, like paralegal stuff,” Broome said.

However, there is one thing one must know about Broome: he plays basketball.

Standing at 6 feet tall, he does not tower over his fellow teammates. His size does not jump off paper, but the statistics he has accumulated so far in his collegiate career does.

Beginning his college basketball career at Sacred Heart University, Broome ranked seventh in the nation in scoring, putting up 23.1 points per game, along with 4.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals.

Following his 2015-16 season he led all active

sophomores in the country with 1,157 career points. In addition, he scored 30 or more points five times last year.

He was also named the Northeast Conference Player of the Year, becoming the first underclassman to receive the honor since 1992.

Broome made the decision to transfer from Sacred Heart to the University of Cincinnati in April.

“I just felt like the last school I was at, I loved it like the coaches and my teammates, but at some point I had to better myself,” Broome said.

The decision to transfer lingered at the back of his mind during the regular season. Reporters would even ask about transferring during post-game interviews.

“It was really with me the whole season, but I put it off until the official last game of the season and then I really went home and thought about it to make sure I knew what I wanted to do,” Broome said.

UC seemed like a good fit for Broome, and he made his final decision shortly

after visiting campus and meeting head coach Mick Cronin and some of Cronin’s players.

“When I came here to visit I already knew a lot about UC. I grew up watching [the University of Connecticut],” said the East Hartford native.

Ultimately, he was drawn to the opportunity to provide a spark to UC’s offense, and the opportunity to help fill the void at point guard after senior Troy Caupain graduates at the end of this year.

As per NCAA transfer rules, Broome will have to sit out this year but he will be able to step in immediately in the 2017-18

season with two years of eligibility remaining.

This season, he will use his time off the court to prepare for next season by getting familiar with UC’s offensive and defensive plays.

“I’ve just got to make sure when I come back I’m 100 percent,” Broome said.

Although Broome will not hit the court this year, he already feels entrenched in the program and is looking forward to seizing his chance to play next season.

“It’s not even really about myself but hopefully I can get something out of it. I just wanted to be a part of a program with a winning tradition,” Broome said.

2 / NEWS Student loan debt rises 56 percent since 2004 THURSDAY, NOV. 3, 2016

KINSLEY SLIFE | NEWS EDITOR

The national student loan debt average is $30,100, up 4 percent from 2014 and up 56 percent since 2004.

As of October, the Institute for College Access and Success (TICAS) released its 11th annual report to the public — titled Student Debt and the Class of 2015 — which breaks down national student debt averages for recent graduates.

TICAS is a non-profit organization that works to increase public understanding of student debt and it’s implications by conducting nonpartisan research and analysis.

About 68 percent of students graduating from public and nonprofit

colleges in 2015, are faced with debt that ranges anywhere from $3,000 to $53,000, according to TICAS. Tyler Peters, a 2015 University of Cincinnati graduate, fits the bill for students graduating with the national average amount of debt. Like for most current students and graduates, $30,000 in debt can induce some financial fear after graduation.

“I think it’s something that comes natural when you borrow that much money,” said Peters. “Honestly, the number is so high that it is almost humorous.”

The TICAS 2016 report also found student loan debt to be much higher in the Northeast and Midwest.

survivor voices, according to Cunningham.

Since the group’s inception in August, they have worked to gain visibility on campus in order to increase awareness about the frequency of assault on campus.

However, since the group is not UC affiliated, they have encountered challenges getting adequate space for events, according to Cunningham.

The group is currently planning their next event, a vigil, to be held on Nov. 20, which will take place off-campus.

The group’s last vigil included an offering of supportive messages for survivors as well as stories from survivors themselves. They also provided resources such as UC’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) and Women Helping Women, a partner of UC’s Title IX office as of Aug. 17, that works to extend resources to survivors of assault, according to UC’s website.

Although the partnership of Women Helping Women and UC’s Title IX Office is considered a success, the group maintains that the university does not provide adequate

resources to survivors of assault, according to Cunningham. They are currently seeking support from UC faculty and staff as well as increased student participation and awareness. “[Students for Survivors] amplifies everyone’s voices who don’t normally get heard. The students involved are true activists,” said Molly Bernfeld, a fourth-year communications and electronic media student.

The group plans to use the power of social media to directly engage with students and further their mission of educating the UC community about sexual assault on campus.

Recently, they released a video featuring a number of students on UC’s campus speaking to the need for a group like Students for Survivors. The video can be found on the group’s website or via their Facebook page.

Currently, the main objective for Students of Survivors is becoming a group that is going to push UC to change and to hold them accountable for their lack of genuine support for survivors, said Cunningham.

For Ohio, 66 percent of recent college graduates are leaving college with the average $30,000 in debt.

Another Ohio graduate — from Miami University — feels lucky to have graduated with only $16,000 in debt, about half the national average.

Cal Webb, who graduated in 2011, believes the student loan debt crisis is increasing.

“A lot of young college students are graduating and finding whatever job they can get because they have to start paying off monthly loan debts,” said Webb.

For Webb, Miami offered him both subsidized and unsubsidized loans, with minimal education on the implications of borrowing.

“They laid all of them [loans] out in terms of interest, but since the loan collection company was private, you had to contact them to see how much the monthly payment was and when they actually started collecting,” said Webb.

“So there was definitely a middleman in terms of collection and where the money came from.”

Other recent Ohio college graduates fall amongst the lower end of the loan debt spectrum because of scholarships and grants.

Makenzie Vail, a 2015 UC graduate, ended her college career with a mere $2,000 in debt. Although miniscule in comparison to the national average, she believes the national student debt

problem lies within the original cost of college, not the availability or interest rates of student loans.

“I really think student loans are an investment in yourself,” said Vail. “If you’re going to take this money then you need to do your due diligence and get a degree and then a job.

Student loans kind of rock for that purpose.”

The national debt continues to climb, with the highest end of 2015 debt landing in the $50,000 range, according to TICAS. “In my opinion, this is a problem that hinders the youth in our nation rather than setting them up for success and for helping the future of our country,” said

Webb.

“Especially if it’s convincing more kids to skip college just because it’s not worth the price of admission.”

Students hold die-in for DuBose JUSTIN REUTTER | SENIOR REPORTER

Students sprawled across the space between TUC and Steger Hall Tuesday afternoon as Students for Sam Dubose held a die-in.

Students for Sam DuBose is the student wing of Cincinnati’s Countdown to Convict Ray Tensing Coalition.

The event was held to protest the way that the University of Cincinnati has attempted to sweep the Ray Tensing trial under the rug, is a form of protest in which a group of activists lie in a large group on the ground pretending to be dead, according to event organizer and President of UC Socialists Cole Weirich, “The idea is that as the trial begins and UC tries to ignore the injustice, we

will make the violence (symbolically) visible,” said Weirich in a Facebook post prior to the event. “Students will have to walk around a pile of bodies on their way to class or lunch.”

Die-ins have been held across the country in the last few years to protest police brutality, including in Ferguson, Missouri to protest the killing of Michael Brown, in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area to protest the killing of Eric Garner, and in Chicago to protest the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.

The trial of Ray Tensing started last week. Former UCPD Officer Ray Tensing was indicted in July 2015 for the shooting of DuBose in a routine traffic stop that started over the lack of a front license plate.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters called Tensing’s actions “not legitimate”, and said that the shooting was “murder” during Tuesday’s opening statements.

Tensing claimed that he feared for his life when he opened fire and killed Dubose. The independent investigation by Kroll Inc. in Sept. 2015 called the shooting “entirely

preventable.”

Wierich stated that UC employees have been disallowed to discuss the trial.

“If we are not able to talk about it, that shows that UC is not as open about it as they should be.”

One anonymous student worker said that even student workers have been warned not to discuss the trial.

Michele Ralston, an information officer for UC Public Safety, said she was unaware of any such policy.

Some students feel that their attempt to talk about the trial have been silenced, according to John D’Alessandro, a third-year computer science student.

“UC has wasted money targeting people who talk about it. This seems like evidence of them trying to sweep it under the rug.”

Weirich hopes this event will lead to a larger advocacy as the trial goes on, and will build awareness for the trial and for Students for Sam DuBose.

UC students are morally responsible to speak out about the trial, according to Weirich. “It doesn’t just effect students, it effects people from the community as well.”

UC student drug use down in recent years ASHLEIGH PIERCE | CHIEF REPORTER

Despite increasing enrollment at the University of Cincinnati, drug and alcohol use among students has reportedly decreased in the last three years.

Of 799 respondents, around 28 percent of students reported to having smoked marijuana within the last 30 days, according to a spring 2013 report from the American College Health Association (ACHA).

However, the latest spring 2016 ACHA report, which garnered 950 respondents, shows that number is down to nearly 23 percent.

Both reports represented around 2 percent of the current student population at the time they were conducted.

With the use of other substances decreasing along with marijuana use, students are taking notice of the decline in drug usage among their peers.

“I would say [drug use] has decreased,” said Michael Santangelo, a second-year organizational leadership student. “I have definitely not seen as much as I did last year, especially living within a residential community.”

In 2016, almost 19 percent of UC students reported to using at least one or more prescription drugs that were not prescribed to them within the last 12 months from the time the surveys were conducted.

These drugs include antidepressants, erectile dysfunction drugs, painkillers, sedatives and stimulants. Of those drugs, usage of stimulants was significantly the highest at 14.6 percent, as compared to 6 percent or less for all other aforementioned prescription drugs.

These numbers associated with prescription drug use at UC are considerably lower than the 2013 ACHA report, wherein almost 27 percent of UC students reported to using prescription drugs Students who report using prescription drugs Not prescribed to them in the past 12 months

not prescribed to them, and around 19 percent of students specifically misused prescription stimulants.

In comparison, the spring 2016 national ACHA average for college students who reported using prescription drugs not prescribed to them was about 12 percent, with 6.5 percent of those being stimulants.

The same ACHA reports show alcohol use has decreased, although not by much.

In 2013, 76 percent of UC students reported alcohol use within the last 30 days from the time of the survey.

The 2016 report shows a slim decrease of around 1 percent, and a 2016 national average at 63.6 percent.

Reports of binge drinking have decreased as well, although UC’s numbers are significantly higher than the national average.

Nearly 50 percent of students in 2013 reported consuming seven or more drinks during the last time they “partied” or socialized.

In 2016, that number decreased to 44.5 percent.

In comparison, the 2016 national average for consuming seven or more drinks while partying or socializing was under 18 percent.

Thus, although drug and alcohol use has reportedly decreased in the last three years at UC, the spring 2016 report by the ACHA indicates usage among UC students is still above the national average for college students.

Although UC’s drug and alcohol use is higher than the national ACHA average for 2016, many UC students don’t feel it is a concern.

“I think [drug use] is a concern at every university,” Santangelo said. “[It’s] not necessarily our highest concern because we have a lot of other issues to work out as well, but it’s definitely something that happens and shouldn’t be ignored.”

LIFE & ARTS / 3 UC continues accommodating students with disabilities THURSDAY, NOV. 3, 2016

SAMANTHA HALL | COLLEGE LIFE EDITOR

The University of Cincinnati continues to cater to the disabilities of students, furthering academic success for those with physical and mental disabilities.

Disability services, located in the University Pavilion, offer specialized accommodations to students based on their needs following a routine intake interview.

Academic accommodations can be determined with a service coordinator, some of which include extended testing time and private testing rooms, open and closed

captioning for in-class videos, sign language interpreters and digital readings.

Students will also need an accommodation form signed by each professor, creating an open understanding of what is necessary for the student’s success.

The goal for this service alone is to allow students to reach their full potential despite individual challenges, according the UC’s student resources.

While Disability Services is a vastly used program at UC for those with physical and mental disabilities, other means of accessibility exist for those

in need of campus-wide support.

In April, the first group of UC students from the Transition Access Program (TAP) graduated, furthering the success of the program opened in 2012.

TAP offers residential housing for its students, enabling its students to experience a full collegeliving experience.

If TAP isn’t what is needed for a student to succeed academically, UC also offers full online learning for degree and certificate programs.

In addition to TAP, the installment of Advancement and Transition Services for

People with Disabilities (ATS) took place last fall.

The benefits of ATS include a “College Success Camp,” where high school students with Asperger’s syndrome who plan to attend a traditional university can enjoy a week-long camp. ATS also coordinates with Sycamore Schools in order to oversee high school transition classes that students may have taken.

As of 2013, UC has become expansively more wheelchair-accessible for students after an incident where one driver of a university shuttle had inefficient knowledge on operating its wheelchair

lift, causing UC student Sara Whitestone to be unable to get on the shuttle conveniently.

Following the incident, the student started a group called SaraSpins, dedicated to contribute to the funds of students with disabilities.

Furthering accessibility, across campus exists ramps creating full access to the stair-heavy UC, as well as elevators in all academic buildings.

Handicapped parking also exists in all university garages.

While all of these improvements continue to help students at UC, updates are expected to

come over the course of next few years in older buildings, which are less accessible, as well as improvement in equal opportunity for accessibility.

College to Career Tip Work Shops ALISON BAXTER | STAFF REPORTER

Julia Montier-Ball has been a career coach and adjunct instructor for the Career Development Center for fifteen years.

The Career Development Center (CDC) gives sixteen “College to Career Tip Work Shops” each semester.

“The employer’s needs and wants are the most important thing during an interview” said Montier-Ball during her Tuesday visit to TUC. “So make sure you do your research about the company before the interview.

During the presentation, she gave tips on how to stand out and the “what not to dos” during an interview process.

One included beginning an

interview with small banter and a handshake.

“This is a time to have a deep breath before the questioning,” said MontierBall.

During the presentation she gives examples of common interview questions and how to answer them.

They are as follows: The News Record: Give an example of a time in which you overcame a challenge?

Julia Montier-Ball: This is question aimed towards a job. Do not think because they did not say workplace, there is room to talk about outside challenges. Talk about your last job, but only focus on you as an individual. They are looking to hire you, not your whole last company.

TNR: Tell us about your strengths and weaknesses.

JMB: This is a time where you get to show off your abilities, but be careful not to be too knowledgeable as that comes off as you have nothing to gain or learn by coming to this company. Now it’s time to say a weakness, but how can a weakness be good?

A weakness is a time to show you are able to learn from past experiences and make them better. Be sure to aim your weakness to your desired job field. Think about what would be expected for your major.

The University of Cincinnati has a vast pool of resources that students often overlook due to the hustle and bustle of coursework.

A university is often designed to be more than just academics and degrees but having uses for many more needs as well. This can tie into mental health, study resources, job opportunities and tutoring.

Some of the more forgotten resources include:

Counseling and Psychological Services

Or CAPS as some may call it. The psychological services at UC are accessible to students through a simple phone call. Appointments can be made for hour-long meditation meetings, individual therapy and group therapy as well. CAPS works towards catering to the mental

Learning Assistant Center

Located in French Hall, the LAC strives to help students with one-on-one tutoring, coaching and other programs to support students in academic success.

Campus Recreation Center pool and hot tub

In the lower floor of the rec center sits a 50-meter lap pool and a whirlpool that can reach temperatures up to 104 degrees while holding 14 people. These swimming units can be used by students for free for exercise, fun or just relaxation. They also offer swim lesson programs for children.

Computer Labs

UC offers open labs and classroom labs that can be used or checked out for time periods if needed. Students who may have forgotten laptops or do not own one are open to use labs for coursework during the week.

Langsam Library

Opened 24/7 on the main floor, Langsam is one of the most available resources to students. The three-story building is fully loaded with Apple Inc. computers, couches and booths, desks and even a Starbucks.

Students can use private rooms on the upper levels of the building during the full hours during the week for studying.

Langsam can also be used for study groups with its large areas that fit many students at once.

BREWNQUE | MACKENZIE BOWER

This coming Saturday, two Ohio breweries are teaming up to host the fourth annual Great Ohio Brew N’ Que. The night of barbecue and beer will take place at Fifty West Brewpub, a Cincinnati brewery founded in 2012 and located in a former roadside speakeasy on U.S. Route 50.

Fifty West teamed up with the seasoned, Clevelandbased craft beer veterans at Great Lakes Brewing Company to create a perfect fall party. The two breweries have worked closely over the past few years, collaborating to create multiple beers and forming a beer-centric friendship that has resulted in multiple sold-out Brew N’ Que celebrations.

Tickets to the night of food, music and booze are $40 and include an all-youcan-eat barbecue buffet, eight complimentary beer

tickets, and a Q&A session with the head brewers. The buffet will feature a menu of smoked barbecue meats paired with Great Lakes’ new beer-infused barbecue sauces and some traditional barbecue meal sides.

Executive chefs from both breweries worked together to create the menu, and even added delicious meatfree barbecue options to accommodate vegetarian guests.

To accompany the massive pile of barbecue that will inevitably find its way on to guests’ plates, the complimentary beer tickets can be used to redeem any of the more than twenty beers from the breweries that will be available on tap. The extensive selection will include a special collaboration beer that is making its debut at the Brew N’ Que this year.

Last year’s Brew N’ Que collaboration was Walking Sticke, described as a

smooth, malty Altbier.

This year’s not-yet-named collaboration will be a maple porter formulated

by Brewmasters Blake Horsburgh and Luke Purcell. And while reveling in the satisfaction of being the first to try the new brew, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A with the Brewmasters themselves.

Seven months in the making, Drake’s, a bar in Lexington, Kentucky, just released a tantalizing new brew on Nov. 1: Big Willy Mac, a first-of-its-kind barrel-aged beer made as a collaboration between Rhinegeist brewery and Maker’s Mark.

Drake’s is a family-friendly-by-day, hipafter-dark little joint which is described on its website as “both pubby and clubby.”

With equal interest in great beer and great food, this is one place over the river worth a night out at. Everything on their menu is made from scratch and generally under $12, and they are always looking to introduce the public to interesting and exquisite alcoholic beverages.

The creative minds at Drake’s went to Maker’s Mark — the famous Kentucky bourbon distillery — and selected

Drake’s, located in Lexington KY, partnered with Rhinegheist and Maker’s Mark to create a bourban-barrel aged brew called Big Willy Mac.

their own private barrel of bourbon.

Then, the team from Drake’s, alongside Rhinegeist’s Brewer and Barrel Master Luke Cole, spent an entire day at the distillery to curate a unique expression of Maker’s Mark and tasting their bourbon to consider how it would compliment the flavors of a beer. One can only imagine what a “hard” day at work that was for Cole and the team from Drake’s to painstakingly taste bourbon after bourbon.

“This is the first time a bourbon was designed specifically with a barrel-aged beer in mind,” reads the press release for the beer’s release night.

Finally, the bourbon was bottled and the barrel it was distilled in was sent off to Rhinegeist. One of the rotating selections at Rhinegeist is a scotch ale called Wee Willy, which was used to fill the barrel.

The Wee Willy was aged for seven months in the bourbon barrel to create a brew with distinctive notes of vanilla and caramel, as well as a bourbon-y alcohol flavor.

If you stop in to Drake’s while this brew is still available, you can taste their Maker’s Mark Private Selection bourbon alongside a Big Willy Mac brew and some live bluegrass music for a true Kentuckyliving experience.

4 / SPORTS Bearcats react to NFL’s frequent missed field goals THURSDAY, NOV. 3, 2016

DAVID WYSONG | SPORTS EDITOR

What seems to be the easiest position in the sport is now becoming the most criticized.

Kickers in football, and in the NFL specifically, are beginning to miss short field goals ― also called chip-shots ― on a frequent basis.

The Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals finished their game in a tie on Oct. 23 after both teams’ kickers missed field goals from within 30 yards to win the game during overtime.

In addition, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Washington Redskins also ended in a tie on Sunday after Bengals kicker Mike Nugent missed an extra point from 33 yards out

early in the second half, and Redskins kicker Dustin Hopkins missed a 34-yarder late in overtime to win.

Many have been critical of kickers because of the fact that kicking field goals is their only job description.

One example is Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless.

Bayless voiced his strong opinions towards kickers in a tweet.

“I despise field-goal kicking. Great athletes fight their guts out for 4 quarters and overtime and 2 nonfootball-player kickers blow it,” the former ESPN employee Bayless tweeted.

University of Cincinnati Bearcats’ senior wide receiver Nate Cole is not in

agreement with Bayless on this issue, however.

“They’re football players, they’re humans; that’s what people fail to realize,” Cole said.

Bearcat kicker Josh Pasley, who has missed four of his 10 field goal attempts on the season, believes that kickers are receiving too much criticism, but can understand it to some degree.

“Everyone’s going to miss once in a while, so I feel like yeah some people are hard to blame, but if they keep missing then I can understand [the criticism,]” Pasley said.

His teammate, junior safety Carter Jacobs, believes that kicking is a mental game.

“I think of kicking as like golf, it’s a big mental thing,” Jacobs said. “Tiger Woods was killing it when he was really mentally strong, and ever since that one incident, he’s been on the down-slope. So it’s a lot of a mental thing and just focusing on what they have to do.”

Jacobs does believe, however, that they are not receiving too much criticism for their missed kicks.

“That’s what they get paid to do, that’s their job.

They don’t do anything else other than that so that should be their main goal, to make every single one,” Jacobs said.

Moving forward, while some of the biggest critics have said they should get

rid of kickers in football completely, Pasley thinks football would not be the same without them.

“You’ve had kickers make

so many game-winning kicks and just the few that have been missing lately that everyone’s quick to judge,” Pasley said.

Football looks for revenge on BYU DAVID WYSONG | SPORTS EDITOR

Senior wide receiver Nate Cole (84) reels in a touchdown catch in the endzone against Purdue, Saturday, September 10, 2016. The Bearcats will sport the same cleats and gloves during their matchup against BYU this Saturday for Military Appreciation Day.

When a competitor loses to another, revenge is typically in their sights during the next matchup against their foe.

The University of Cincinnati football team lost to the Brigham Young University Cougars 38-24 in Provo, Utah, last season and payback could be in the back of the team’s mind.

“Honestly we’re looking for revenge, they try to kill you with kindness,” said Bearcat junior safety Carter Jacobs. “When we went in there they gave us these goodie bags when we walked in and try to give us shaving cream and stuff like that to make us feel like we’re at home, but I’m looking for revenge because I know it was just a big slap in the face to us.”

In their matchup last season BYU’s offense had its way with Cincinnati’s defense, gaining 449 total yards, 197 of them on the ground, leading them to 38 points.

However, the Cougars are better on the ground this year, as they are averaging 80 more yards per game and their top running back Jamaal Williams ― who ran for 965 yards on 165 attempts and 10 touchdowns this season ― will be in the back field.

Williams did not suit up when the

two teams faced last season.

“They’ve got the best running back they’ve had in a long time,” said Cincinnati head coach Tommy Tuberville. “[He’s] very physical and runs inside and outside … so we’ll have to prepare for the running game.”

On the other hand, the Bearcats struggled on the ground against BYU last season, averaging under three yards per rush, and have not found continuous success so far this season.

The Bearcats are averaging 122 rushing yards per game and were held to only 67 last week against Temple University.

UC could potentially have issues running the ball Saturday, too.

“They got some big guys in the middle, they’re very physical, they’re not going to allow you to run the ball.

They’re going to try to force you, like most teams try to do, try to make you throw the ball, get you in long yardage situations,”Tuberville said.

“So offensively we have got to do a good job of trying to run the ball, run play action, do things that we need to do to mix it up. We have got to play well on first down and we can’t get in long yardage situations.”

After a multitude of quarterback

changes this season, Tuberville has chosen to go with fifth-year senior quarterback Gunner Kiel for the third-straight game, despite Kiel only completing one pass for negative three yards in the second half last week.

“Gunner will be our quarterback,” Tuberville said. “I still have a lot of faith in him that gives us a lot with his leadership qualities, especially against a team like this.”

Moving forward, the Bearcats will need to win two of their final four games in order to get an invitation to a bowl game, but the team only has one thought crossing their minds: one game at a time.

“What’s on our mind is to win the next game,” said senior wide receiver Nate Cole. “We try to finish out and win the rest of them but it’s all about the next game and just keep winning.”

Jacobs agrees.

“We’re trying to take it one game at a time to be honest, this game is the one we’re focusing on then we’ll focus on the one after that,” Jacobs said.

Cincinnati and BYU faceoff in Nippert Stadium at 3:30 p.m.

Saturday. The game will be aired on CBS Sports Network.
