UC students gather to oppose Burnet Woods development DAVID REES | STAFF REPORTER Students gathered in Burnet Woods Thursday, Oct. 18, to protest multiple proposals to develop the historic park. Burnet Woods, an 89.3acre greenspace operated by the Cincinnati Park Board, is just steps away from the University of Cincinnati. The Clifton Cultural Arts Center (CCAC) and the Camping and Education Foundation (CEF) both announced proposals to develop a section of the park earlier this year. As part of Thursday’s event, University of Cincinnati students tree mapped the park with the iNaturalist app, which connects more than 400,000 scientists with nature enthusiasts. Students took various pictures of trees throughout the park and identified the species of each tree. Observations were then uploaded to a project, named “Burnet Woods Biodiversity,” within the app. “Our purpose for holding Various student groups protested recent moves by the Clifton Cultural Arts Center and the this tree mapping event was to Camping and Education Foundation to develop Burnet Woods. PATRICK MURPHY | MULTIMEDIA DIRECTOR highlight the great biodiversity
we have so close to campus,” said fourth-year environmental studies student McKenzie Hill. “Being an urban campus, keeping our greenspace untouched and in pristine condition is extremely important. Many UC students oppose proposed plans to build in our park, and I’m glad they were able to voice their support.” The students, as well as more than 200 others, have collected 1,298 observations spanning across 308 different species. Since opening in 1872, Burnet Woods has lost nearly half of its original acreage. Completion of the proposed projects could further reduce the park’s natural ecosystem. The proposals caught the eyes of Hill, who regularly visits the park. “Many of my professors have taken our classes to Burnet Woods for various labs,” Hill said. “I also have a monthly meeting in Burnet Woods with a book club I am a part of.” Hill said the park has had a great impact on both her education and her mental and physical health. “When my family comes to
town, I enjoy taking them to Burnet Woods to cook out,” Hill said. Hill and other students met with local advocacy group, Preserve Burnet Woods, to create a new student group: UC Students for Burnet Woods. The organization hopes to spread awareness of the proposals and aims to keep the park in its current state. Both groups are gaining traction online, with 2,387 signatures collected so far on a petition with a goal of 3,200. The petition is open to any students or community members interested in supporting the initiative. “Not only is there a rich system of wildlife here that needs protected, but it is also a very important space to the University of Cincinnati,” said Cynthia Duval, a local yoga teacher and organizer for Preserve Burnet Woods. “Biology students come here and observe. DAAP students come here and sketch. It has so many different functions and is a vital part of the school. Essentially, it’s a living classroom.”
Shuttle or walk? The fastest ways to navigate UC
SAKINA JARMON | CONTRIBUTOR
The University of Cincinnati’s shuttle system provides a safe, environmentally friendly and free way to for students, faculty and visitors to navigate UC’s uptown and regional campuses. There’s even a nightlifespecific shuttle that operates Thursday through Saturday. However, tracking down shuttles and figuring out which routes to take is a hassle for some students, and downright confusing for others. Luckily, we’ve done some research to make your decision easier. Check out the analysis of UC’s most-used shuttle routes below to figure out whether taking the shuttle is worth the wait.
Shuttle System Breakdown
UC has the Bearcat Transportation System (BTS), which consists of the North, Southwest, East and Greater Cincinnati routes. BTS destinations include Mount Adams, Over-the-Rhine (OTR), Newport on the Levee and Fountain Square, and it picks up riders from various areas in Clifton. The UC Transit System is another option. Its routes consist of the Mainstreet – Eden Avenue Route, CCM – Plaza – 1819 Building Route, UC Victory Parkway – Uptown Campus Route, the 1819 Innovation Hub and UC Blue Ash. These routes are all building-specific and have fewer stops
on the way. They can be considered express routes. The university also hosts a website and app, which you can access by clicking here, to track every shuttle route available. The website gives users plenty of info, including the distance between the closest shuttle and your destination, total loop times for each shuttle and day-to-day shuttle schedules.
North Route
If you hop on the North Route at the CRC stop, which has been moved further down the road in front of Campus Green Garage for construction purposes, it takes roughly 10 minutes to get to Ludlow Avenue across the street from Clifton Market. On foot, this route took approximately 24 minutes from Campus Green Garage. Needless to say, it’s a bit of a hike — especially considering your walk back to campus is almost entirely uphill. Winner: Shuttle
Southwest Route
Getting on the 8:10 a.m. shuttle at the corner of Stratford Avenue and Warner Street starts an 11-minute trip to McMicken Hall/ University Pavilion, assuming minimal traffic. Walking this same route is surprisingly faster. Starting from the same pickup spot, it takes less than nine minutes to reach McMicken Hall.
While the walk is almost three minutes faster, the shuttle may come in handy if weather is not on your side. Winner: Walk
East Route
The shuttle ride from CCM Plaza to Campus Park Apartments (CPA) at 195 E. McMillian Street takes approximately 12 minutes. Not too shabby. Taking this same route by foot took only 15 minutes, and it’s a straight shot. Though the shuttle is a few minutes faster, it’s not a bad idea to walk this one if the weather is on your side. Winner: Shuttle
Main Street/ Eden Avenue Route
This shuttle also picks up from Campus Green garage, but it has fewer stops than the busy North Route and is more centered around UC’s medical campus. From the pickup spot, the shuttle only takes eight minutes to reach med campus. Walking this same route from Campus Green Garage took about 17 minutes. The shuttle is highly recommended for this route. Not only does it take longer to walk, but there isn’t really any way to avoid the busier streets, such as MLK, Jefferson and Vine. Winner: Shuttle

Red Bike to launch electric-assist bicycles ALEX MARTIN | CONTRIBUTOR MITCHELL PARTON | NEWS EDITOR Electric-assist bicycles that might convince riders to navigate Cincinnati’s hilly terrain in a new way will be available to rent this winter. Red Bike, Cincinnati’s public bike-share service, will receive 10 electricassist bicycles in November as part of a pilot program with BCycle, the bicycles’ manufacturer, the Enquirer reported. Red Bike placed an order for 100 additional bikes that will be available in spring 2019. Instead of relying solely on the rider’s force on the pedal, electric-assist bicycles use a battery to give the bikes a boost. The battery adds an additional 17 mph to a riders’ speed, outpacing electric scooters that typically ride at a maximum speed of 15 mph. Red Bikes offer a yearly plan something that competes with services offered by Bird Rides, Inc. and Neutron Holdings, Inc. (formerly LimeBike). Both Bird and Lime scooters
cost $1 per ride plus $0.15 per minute, while Red Bike’s $80 membership gives subscribers unlimited hourlong rides year-round. The yearly subscription could make Red Bikes a more feasible transportation option for students and other frequent riders. The Red Bike system consists of 57 stations and 442 bikes, according to its website. Red Bike stations have a prominent presence, with twelve stations currently existing on UC’s campus. Red Bikes has gained traction since its inception in 2014, with over 1.1 million cumulative miles ridden. Many students, however, don’t see the appeal. “I haven’t used the Red Bikes because I live on campus and have my own bike,” said Caleb Cannon, a fifth-year mechanical engineering student. The new electric Red Bikes, however, may appeal more to students like Cannon who have seen the potential of electric vehicles,
like scooters, which have gained traction on campus. “I find [electric scooters] more convenient, because they’re more a spur-ofthe-moment type of thing,” Cannon said. “I think it helps with the fact that the bikes aren’t that great when going uphill, so people may be more interested because they won’t have to work so hard around this hilly area.” Lindsay Bischoff, a secondyear chemistry and biology student, also said she has never used a Red Bike. “I would be more inclined to use those bikes with the electric assist,” Bischoff said. “One of the main reasons I don’t use the bikes in the first place is because Cincinnati is too hilly, and the electric assist would make it easier to get around.” E-scooters have one major advantage over Red Bikes: riders can leave them wherever they want. Bischoff said she believes the bikes could gain more popularity if there were more stations for bikes to be picked up and dropped off.
One of Redbike’s 57 stations can be found at Sawyer Point off of Ohio River Scenic Byway. ADAM DOTY | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

UC to establish staff senate DAVID REES | STAFF REPORTER The University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees approved the establishment of a staff senate Tuesday, which will create a new elected body comprised of university staff. UC Women Lead, a program that aims to expand opportunities for women to enter larger leadership roles throughout the college, headed the initiative to establish a new senate. Throughout the year, members of the organization study leadership and complete a service learning project to practice the leadership skills they have been taught. “The [service] project serves two goals,” said Donna Chrobot-Mason, director of UC Women Lead. “It is designed to enhance UC Women Lead participants’ leadership learning experience. And second, the project is intended to positively impact the UC community.” UC Women Lead began researching the idea to create a staff senate during the 2016-2017 school year as part of a service learning project. “The lack of a staff voice on the presidential search committee, which gave us President Pinto, was brought up, and it was a source of frustration for many,” said Heather Kilgore, a member of UC Women Lead and the associate advising director for the College of Arts and Sciences. “From that moment on, we never really considered any other options because we were all so passionate about staff voices being heard and represented here at UC.”
Members of the organization collected data and information based on other universities’ experiences and unfulfilled needs at UC. While UC Women Lead headed the project, the idea required far more resources than the organization had available, so members reached out to the university’s senior leadership to aid the research effort. The organization noticed that faculty and student groups received greater representation in statements and plans. UC staff is often left out. “We know we have a lot to offer,” Kilgore said. “We know our perspective is unique — that we were not being acknowledged, much less celebrated, like faculty and students.” Members of UC Women Lead hope that their project will have a tangible, measurable impact at the university. “Staff play an important role in the success of our University mission,” said Kathy Qualls, co-director of UC Women Lead and senior vice provost for academic finance and administrative affairs. “Through this staff senate, staff opinions, ideas and recommendations will now have a formal way of reaching our university leadership.” Members also hope that the new senate will not only benefit students academically, but also inspire them to achieve. “I want students to know that staff, like faculty, can be passionate educators,” Kilgore said. “We want to support students as they work toward their goals, and we want to share our insight and expertise when it comes to making this happen.”

The unfortunate fate of Crosley Tower MITCHELL PARTON | NEWS EDITOR After years of speculation, Crosley Tower has an expiration date. University architects plan to demolish and replace Crosley Tower, a 16-story brutalist building on the University of Cincinnati’s uptown campus, which is famous for being poured as a single piece of concrete. The tower, completed in 1969 as a home for chemistry and biology laboratories, is nearing the end of its useful life span for the university according to Dale Beeler, UC’s director of project management. Unlike most other buildings on campus, the tower does not qualify for renovation due to its structure, he said. “It’s just not in our longterm plans,” Beeler said. “TUC, McMicken, any of those older buildings — Van Wormer and the like — and some of our newer buildings, like the rec center and the College of Business, are buildings that fit into our master plans for decades to come … Crosley just does not. Nothing personal about the building — it just doesn’t warrant the physical expenditures that would bring it into the next
30 or 40 years.” This year, university architects commissioned a study from a local engineering firm to determine the most economical method of demolishing Crosley Tower. “[The firm] gave us some options, [including] taking it down one bit at a time starting from the top and picking away at it with jackhammers and mechanical equipment,” Beeler said. “They also gave us an option that it could possibly be taken down in one fell swoop with an implosion. We have not decided one way or another, but those are our two options.” Imploding Crosley Tower would be difficult due to its proximity to Rieveschl Hall. However, Beeler said the university is still considering both options. UC has prior experience with implosion — that’s how the university demolished Sander Hall in 1991. Demolishing Crosley Tower could take up to five years, according to Beeler. Additionally, any removal process will have to wait until a new building is completed for Crosley’s current tenants.
“There’s nothing on the horizon in the next two or three years until a replacement building is built on a different site that would allow us to empty those folks out of that building,” Beeler said. “We need a swing building, so to speak.” Although Crosley was designed for biology and chemistry, the building also holds several departments within the College of Arts and Sciences, including Asian Studies, International Affairs, Political Science and Sociology. The new building, likely to be built on the former site of Wilson Auditorium located between DAAP and McMicken Hall, would be designed with those departments in mind. “Having the entire college together would be [preferable],” said Alexa Justice, program coordinator for the sociology department. “We are currently scattered throughout several buildings that ring the campus.”
Hopelessly unadaptable
Beeler called Crosley Tower “almost diabolically inflexible” — perhaps the most inflexible building on campus.
The University of Cincinnati is considering options to demolish Crosley Tower. PATRICK MURPHY | MULTIMEDIA DIRECTOR
“Crosley was built in conjunction with the Rieveschl Project,” he said. “Rieveschl, to the credit there, is still a building without windows or anything, and tons of fume hoods running up to the exterior of the building which takes up the window space. But it has extremely large clear span spaces … You can gut them and repurpose them for all sorts of things. Crosley has never had that sort of flexibility.” Crosley’s lack of flexibility can be credited to its cruciform design. Four pods with classrooms, labs and offices link to a central core containing the stair towers, elevators and bathrooms. The four pods cannot be connected to each other due to the shape of the building, so it would be difficult to renovate these spaces into classrooms — especially with minimal amounts of elevators for students to use to travel during classchange periods.
Crosley’s dangerous exterior
In 2009 or 2010, the exterior of Crosley Tower started to spall, meaning that fragments of concrete began breaking off the building. “You could imagine the health hazard — with the plazas around the base of that building — to have chunks of concrete popping off the face,” Beeler said. “We had to put up barricades to protect people entering and exiting the building, and we had to close off the plaza to keep people from standing there in case a two- or threepound chunk of concrete fell off the building.” This situation made the building untenable, so the university performed an emergency repair that involved scaling off all the loose concrete, repairing the damaged concrete and reinforcing rusted steel, according to Beeler. Then, the repair team applied a heavy coating of a corrosion-inhibiting chemical that neutralized some of the ongoing corrosion. Beeler called the corrosion-inhibiting process a “Band-Aid.” He said the process guaranteed the building approximately 10 more years of life before

the spalling process might begin again. “The kicker was, though, that you can only do this chemical impregnation process once,” he said. “It doesn’t work the second time — it won’t soak in, so to speak … So, the building had basically 10 good years left to it. That will come to a close here in 2020 to 2021, something like that.” Dr. Necati Kaval, a research associate in the chemistry department, works in the sensors facility on the lowest level of Crosley Tower. “As far as I know, the building sinks a little every year,” Kaval said. “It has developed cracks here and there in the basement level.” Kaval said he often sees water leaking from the ceiling when it rains. “I have many expensive and delicate scientific instruments,” Kaval said. “Salty water leaking from the ceiling in winter months puts my instruments under risk.” Justice said she also
experiences leaking on the 16th floor and has concerns regarding the building’s elevators. “The elevators are a problem,” she said. “One, two, or all three malfunction too often … and can leave people stranded for an indefinite amount of time on their floor.” Beeler and his colleagues are trying to be proactive. They have encouraged the board of trustees to begin planning for a replacement building, advising that the tower is not restorable due to its age, condition, inflexibility and lack of amenities. “Our fear is if we don’t continue to push forward on [getting a replacement approved], there will be a time in the not too distant future where Crosley Tower starts spalling again and dropping chunks and balls of loose concrete onto the ground,” Beeler said. “It’s never going to be a structural failure — it’s just that you can’t live with a building that’s doing that.”

CCM’s ‘Guys and Dolls’ boasts a Broadway-caliber production ANNE SIMENDINGER | SOCIAL MEDIA ASSISTANT The College-Conservatory of Music’s musical theater program takes audiences back to 1940s New York City with a Broadway classic, “Guys and Dolls,” running now through Saturday, Oct. 27. In the musical, gambler Nathan Detroit oversees the setup of a “floating craps game” but cannot afford the rent of the venue. He decides to bet Sky Masterson, an experienced and successful gambler,
to take a girl of Nathan’s choosing on a date. As is expected in most Old Hollywood stories, love gets in the way. From the moment the curtain rises, audiences are met with the raw beauty of the set. The stunning visuals only get better as the actors cross in perfect 1940s fashion. The show starts with a ballet of sorts, depicting a day in the city. There are famous athletes out and about, street performers, gangsters and
more wandering throughout the cityscape. The storytelling in this number, as well as the Crapshooter’s Dance in Act II, were exquisite. Choreographer and director Diane Lala, along with the brilliant ensemble, paints a clear yet remarkably entertaining visual for the audience to advance the plot. There were several showstopping numbers. The most notable of these is arguably the Crapshooter’s Dance, as well as the famous “Sit Down You’re Rocking the Boat.”The former helps to illustrate the craps game while showing off the insane amount of male choreography talent that CCM has. The latter shows off the cast’s impeccable comedic timing, as well as the vocal capabilities of Nick Berninger who played Nicely-Nicely Johnson, a sidekick of Nathan Detroit. Between the creative chair choreography, classic melody and clever lyrics, the number is a sure hit. Like all Golden Age musicals, there are a handful of love songs. The duet “I’ll Know,” sung between Sky and his love interest, Christian mission leader Sarah Brown, was a strong highlight of the show. In this number, the audience sees the
characters begin taking an interest in one another. Senior musical theater student Frankie Thams plays Sky Masterson. Thams is the perfect leading man, possessing great charm and a strong command of the stage with a gorgeous voice to match. His connection with fellow senior Aria Braswell, who played Sara, is truly enchanting. Braswell brings such light and spunk to the mission leader, and her stunning soprano voice fills the theater. The other couple in the show, Miss Adelaide and Nathan Detroit, were played in the Oct. 19 performance by Anya Axel and Matt Copely. Adelaide and Nathan have been engaged for 14 years, and Nathan continually tries to postpone the wedding. Axel and Copely are very believable in their roles and play flawlessly off each other. Both performers get to showcase their comedic talent — a treat for audiences. “Guys and Dolls” makes for a perfect night of classic, Golden Age,

Broadway-caliber fun. From the extraordinary sets and costumes to the immeasurable talent, audiences are sure to find themselves forgetting that
they are watching students, and not well-credited professionals. Head to CCM this week to catch an incredible show you won’t want to miss.

Cincinnati’s hottest Halloween events MAGGY MCDONEL | STAFF REPORTER Cincinnati has a jampacked weekend for any Halloween partygoer looking to celebrate the spooky and macabre. Movie buffs will love seeing The Denton Affair, a local theater group, perform a shadow cast version of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” at the Esquire Theatre. Shadow casts pantomime the movie in front of the screen, adding an extra level to the eccentricity to the film. The Denton Affair performs at the Esquire every other Saturday throughout the year, but according to Diane Janicki, operations manager for Theater Management Corp., there is an extra-special Halloween performance this Saturday, Oct. 27, followed by another one Sunday, Oct. 28. Audience members are
encouraged to dress up, and since audience participation is such a big part of the show, everyone is invited to yell and joke along with the performers. Saturday night at the Esquire might not be the place for a quiet night at the movies, but it is the perfect place to get in the Halloween spirit. Of course, one of Cincinnati’s great breweries has to get in on the Halloween celebration. Following its namesake, Rhinegiest, meaning “ghost of the Rhine,” is having a scare-filled Halloween party. From Friday, Oct. 27, at 8 p.m. until 2 a.m. Oct. 28, come and dance along with music provided by various DJs at Rhinegiest. Feel free to rock your best costume and enjoy some of the brewery’s many speciallycrafted beers, including those from its seasonal collection, like Andromeda.
According to its Facebook page, the event is “BYO garlic and wooden stakes.” Garlic necklace or not, be sure to enjoy some locallycrafted creepy brews and dance the night away this weekend. There’s even more spooky fun to be had at the historic 21c Cincinnati Museum and Hotel.

Bearcats football falls to Temple for first loss of season

FCC players defend a header by Nashville during the USL Semi-Final Playoff on Sunday, Oct. 20, 2018. JUSTIN HILES | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER
FCC beats Nashville SC in overtime for first playoff win BRESLIN SAND | STAFF REPORTER Drowning in a tidal wave of blue, No. 1 FC Cincinnati (FCC) shot its way past No. 8 Nashville SC on a sixth penalty kick for an opening victory in the United Soccer League (USL) playoffs at Nippert Stadium. History seemed to repeat itself for a fourth time during Saturday’s quarterfinal game, leaving the teams tied 0-0 at 90 minutes and 1-1 at 120 minutes. FCC played for the second week in a row after tying three times earlier in the season, and it was no surprise that the two teams needed penalty kicks to decide a winner. “[Nashville] changed the way they played a little bit, and we changed the way we played a little bit, too,” said head coach Alan Koch. “I think every time you play teams, it is a bit of a chess match.” Despite a low attendance of 20,217 (roughly 5,000 fewer than the season average), spirits never quelled as the teams battled back and forth. With every corner kick, fans began to hoot and holler. FCC kept possession for 67.3 percent of the match and took 22 shots on goal. Nashville was held to 16.
“We’re a team,” Koch said. “People speak about original players. People speak about potential MVPs and individual awards, and all that kind of jazz. But it doesn’t mean a single thing. We’re a team. We win as a team.” Each team made the first five penalty kicks effortlessly. Tides turned when Justin Davis, Nashville’s sixth kicker, overshot the net in his attempt. FCC goalkeeper Spencer Richey stopped his team from rushing the field in celebration before the final shot, which was taken by midfielder Kenney Walker. Walker hadn’t taken a penalty kick since the U.S. Open Cup in June, which he missed against Minnesota United FC. But Saturday was a different story. “There’s a little added pressure,”Walker said. “At the same time, you just have to go out there and score. Either pick your spot and put it there and he saves it, or you beat him there. That’s as simple as I can put it.” Takeaways: The Orange and Blue came close succumbing to the dreaded Cincinnati curse of being knocked out in the first playoff game. Both teams are formidable
opponents to one another. Looking at game stats alone, it’s a wonder how FCC didn’t defeat Nashville in regulation. Their combination plays were spot-on, with 79.3 percent accuracy on passing both with crossing the ball and tight plays. Many plays led FCC the corners, causing most of the team’s shots to miss the target. Predictable plays weren’t the only thing to hinder FCC’s play, as wind was also a major factor. Napkins and confetti snowed, stopped balls rolled and kicks never seemed to go where they were intended. Nonetheless, both teams pushed through. FCC stayed on Nashville’s side of the field for much of the first half. Midfielder Corben Bone scored in the first five minutes of overtime, growing the fans’ momentum. But Nashville came back in the 113th minute. While it led to penalty kicks, it also led to FCC’s win. FCC will host No. 5 seed New York Red Bulls II in Saturday’s USL Eastern Conference Semifinal at Nippert Stadium. The match is set for 4 p.m. and tickets are available at www. fccincinnati.com.
The University of Cincinnati football team suffered a 24-17 overtime loss Saturday afternoon to the Temple University Owls in Philadelphia. The defeat marks the first loss of the season for the Bearcats, who fall to 6-1 and 2-1 in the American Athletic Conference (AAC). Temple improves to 5-3 and 4-0 in the AAC. Temple quarterback Anthony Russo tossed a 20-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Branden Mack to tie the game at 17-17 with 49 seconds left in regulation. In overtime, Russo completed a 25-yard touchdown to wide receiver Isaiah Wright. UC’s offensive possession during the extra period came to halt when redshirt freshman quarterback Desmond Ridder was intercepted on third-and-36 by Temple defensive back Shaun Bradley to end the game. “[Temple] made the plays when they had to, and we didn’t,” head coach Luke Fickell said after the game. “I think we panicked a little bit there in overtime … there’s some things we can get a lot better at and do differently to give ourselves a chance to have more success. It was a tough one for us.” Ridder’s typically accurate arm was not on display in the loss, as he finished 14-of-33 passing for 111 yards and an interception. He also coughed up a fumble in the first quarter, which the Owls turned into an easy
field goal. In his previous five games, Ridder had either thrown or ran for at least one touchdown. Sophomore running back Michael Warren II led the Bearcats’ rushing attack with 132 yards on 25 attempts and one touchdown.
Takeaways:
Players taking the blame Ridder and freshman kicker Cole Smith, who connected on 1-of-4 field goals, took to Twitter after the game to hold themselves accountable for the performance. “Tough loss and I take full responsibility for it,” Ridder wrote. “We WILL bounce back as a team.” “I truly am sorry Bearcat nation and take full responsibility for today’s loss,” Smith wrote. “Now it’s time to refocus, move on, and work harder than ever. #BeatSMU” Defense wasn’t the issue The Bearcats defense isn’t to blame, as giving up 317 yards to an aboveaverage conference opponent should be manageable. Russo was intercepted by UC three times — twice by sophomore cornerback Coby Bryant and once by senior cornerback Tyrell Gilbert. Sophomore safety James Wiggins, junior linebacker Perry Young and senior linebacker Malik Clements each provided eight or more tackles. UC football returns to action Saturday against the Southern Methodist University (SMU) Mustangs in Dallas, Texas.

After a gut-wrenching 24-17 overtime loss against the Temple University Owls Saturday, the 6-1 Bearcats will travel to Dallas, Texas, to face the Southern Methodist University (SMU) Mustangs. The previously 20th-ranked Bearcats dropped out of The Associated Press (AP) Poll this week. SMU sits at 3-4 and is coming off a 27-23 win at Tulane. The Mustangs are 2-1 in American Athletic Conference (AAC) play. Sonny Dykes is in his first year as head coach for SMU after previously holding the same position at Louisiana Tech University and the University of California, Berkeley. On offense, the Mustangs are led by junior quarterback Ben Hicks, who lost the job to freshman William Brown after some early season struggles. Since regaining the starting role in a loss to the University of Central Florida (UCF), Hicks has thrown for 997 yards with nine touchdowns and three interceptions. Senior running back Braeden West leads SMU’s rushing attack with 463 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Junior wide receiver James Proche
is third in the AAC with 619 receiving yards. Proche leads the AAC in receiving touchdowns with eight. The SMU offense is fourth-tolast in the AAC in scoring offense, averaging 22.2 points per game. The Mustangs’ defense is allowing 39 points and 430 total yards per game, ranking the team in the bottom half of the conference in both categories. Even after the loss to Temple, the Bearcats still have a premier rushing attack. The Bearcats have rushed for 150 or more yards in each of their seven games, including rushing for 200 yards at Temple. Sophomore running back Michael Warren II rushed for over 100 yards for the fourth consecutive week at Temple. The Toledo, Ohio, native has 796 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns this season. Freshman running back Charles McClelland added 70 yards on four carries and a touchdown last week. SMU’s defense has struggled against the run this season, allowing 214 yards per game. Freshman quarterback Desmond Ridder took a step back in the Temple loss, finishing 14-of-33 for 111 yards and an interception. Still, Ridder has thrown for 1,173
Opinion | Bell to bring a fresh perspective BEN HARRISON | STAFF REPORTER As the Cincinnati Reds wrapped up yet another season at the bottom of the division, fans looked to the front office for answers. To be competitive in 2019, the Reds need to make some changes. Somewhere within Great American Ballpark is most likely a list of goals that Dick Williams, Walt Jocketty and the rest of the front office staff needs to address before spring training. The top priority? To conduct a thorough search and hire a new manager. The Reds let go of Bryan Price after a dismal start to the 2018 season. Jim Riggleman was called upon to right the ship, and things looked promising for the interim manager before the All-Star game. He compiled a 40-35 record before the break, reenergizing the players and fans who had all but given up hope on the
season. As for the second half, it’s better that we avoid talking about it. The Reds managed to narrow down a whopping 90 candidates down to one: David Bell. For many fans (myself included), Bell was not the first choice. Ex-New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi was said to be in the running for the open position. Girardi led the Yankees to a World Series title in 2009 and recently led a rebuilding team to within one game of playing for another title. This was the guy I wanted leading us in Cincinnati. Girardi felt different. But it quickly spread that Girardi had withdrawn his name from consideration and would not be managing in the Queen City. David Bell was thought to be the new favorite amongst bright baseball minds around the league.
After the disappointment of losing Girardi, I started to get behind the idea that Bell could thrive in Cincinnati. Bell has the experience you want when hiring a new manager. He played 12 seasons in the Major Leagues. He was the third-base coach for the Chicago Cubs, served as the assistant hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals and has been the vice president of player development for the San Francisco Giants. This is the kind of guy that should excite Reds fans. The one thing Bell lacks is managing experience. That should raise some questions, right? Not exactly. Baseball has seen several inexperienced managers win a World Series in recent years (John Farrell with the Boston Red Sox and A.J Hinch with the Houston Astros come to mind). Los Angeles Dodgers’ Dave
Roberts and the Milwaukee Brewers’ Craig Counsell nearly brought their teams to a championship win as unproven managers. Bell has more experience than all of them. The sport has become
yards with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions this season. He also possesses 324 yards and four touchdowns rushing. While the Mustangs have struggled against the run, they have been better against pass, ranking top five in the AAC for passing yards allowed. The Bearcats defense ranks top 25 nationally in passing yards allowed, rushing yards allowed and scoring defense. Senior defensive tackle Cortez Broughton leads the Bearcats in sacks (6) and tackles-for-loss (14). Junior linebacker Perry Young leads the team in total tackles with 38. UC head coach Luke Fickell remains upbeat despite the loss at Temple but knows the SMU test won’t be a cakewalk. “[SMU] play good complimentary football,” Fickell said in a weekly news conference Tuesday. “The last four or five weeks they’ve been able to settle into who they are after a coaching change … They spread the field offensively and play aggressive upfront.” UC is currently listed as 10-point favorites to win. The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. Saturday on CBS Sports Network. 700 WLW AM will provide radio coverage.
majorly analytically driven. Teams like the Tampa Bay Rays have made headlines for starting a new trend in baseball known as the opener, and the Brewers are known for shifting their defense more than any other team. Bell will bring these ideals to Cincinnati, as there is so much
information available. Why not use it to our advantage? As the offseason begins, it’s time to explore the free-agent market and get quality starting pitching to finally complete the extended rebuild process. For now, the Reds can cross “find new manager” off their to-do list.

What’s the deal with nepotism? MAGGY MCDONEL | STAFF REPORTER
Nepotism gets a bad rap in the minds of most. But how bad is it, really? In the current presidential administration, it’s the process of hiring or appointing relatives without concern for qualifications, which leads to complications regarding the evaluation of eligibility as well as discrimination against other qualified candidates. After Nikki Haley stepped down as ambassador to the United Nations, Donald Trump tossed out the idea of appointing his daughter, Ivanka, for the position. This would, of course, be a direct example of nepotism — but isn’t unheard of in the political sphere. When Bill Clinton was president, he appointed his wife to chair the Task Force on National Health Care Reform, which led to a lawsuit filed by a lobbying group under an anti-nepotism statute, according to NPR. Title 5 of the U.S. Code discusses restrictions concerning the employment of relatives. It states that a public official cannot advocate for the appointment, employment or advancement of a relative to a civilian position in an agency. The key term here is “civilian.” It’s not technically illegal for Trump to appoint Ivanka as ambassador, or to select her husband, Jared Kushner, as his senior adviser. But is it the
right decision? During George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign, there were many claims of nepotism and “family connections” by the press and other candidates. However, these allegations “offered no supporting evidence” according to a report from Pew Research. So, when does nepotism become a dangerous practice? When it hurts your image? Or when it leads to discrimination? Trumps himself addressed that the appointment of Ivanka would be an act of nepotism, and he has since announced that he is considering Goldman Sachs’ Dina Powell for ambassador, according to Time magazine. As humans, we’re naturally tied to our family unit and inclined to help them out. But doing so could allow for blindness toward other, more qualified candidates. As a high-ranking government or corporate official, hiring family may seem like a good idea — after all, you know them, and you trust them. But there are only three black CEOs at Fortune 500 companies, according to The Wall Street Journal, and only 25 women, according to Business Insider. So, while nepotism may not be an intentionally corrupt practice, it can lead to racial and gender-based discrimination in hiring as well as general non-familial discrimination.

The new landing page for Catalyst. ABBY SHOYAT | CHIEF PHOTOGRAPHER
Catalyst update feels like a poorly-designed downgrade MITCHELL PARTON | NEWS EDITOR When technicians took down Catalyst — the university’s hub for financial aid and class scheduling — during fall reading days, they made it clear on social media that it wasn’t going to look the same when it came back. When the screenshots of the tiled homepage were released, I was immediately underwhelmed with the design. What I wasn’t prepared for was how messy the site’s functionality is. Catalyst has never been the popular hotshot on the block. The digital hub certainly faced its fair share of negative feedback when it launched in 2016. Critics bashed its functionality even then — searching for classes was troublesome, and the “shopping cart” pre-enrollment system continues to baffle some students. It did its job, though, and I wouldn’t expect any new service to be perfect. But I didn’t personally hear anyone criticize the design of Catalyst when it was new. It was sleek, modern and relatively easy to use on smartphones and tablets. More importantly, it unified
many university websites into one, simplifying the online student experience. With this new update, however, Catalyst’s design took a major step backward. Open up Catalyst today, and you’ll find a collection of icons describing Catalyst’s main sections. From a student perspective, the only information shown on that first screen is how much money you owe and the tasks you need to complete. Before, there was far more information and shortcuts on the landing page. A grid interface like this should be customizable, but the tiles are static. You can’t move them around. Some students may want some functionality to be at their fingertips, or they may want to hide features they never use. I would love to be able to choose my favorite wallpaper, at the very least. Instead, it just cycles through pictures of UC. The pages of the new Catalyst were made with mobile in mind, and the first few screens on the app certainly work better than before on mobile platforms. However, try to search for classes or view your financial aid, and you’ll see the almost inaccessible desktop interface. I don’t
understand why the designers of this service put so much focus on mobile, when half of it doesn’t even work comfortably on a phone. A long gray bar sits at the bottom of the home screen with a dot to mark which page you’re on, even though there’s only one page. Weirdly enough, there’s a refresh button on that bar and a home button on top. There’s even giant back buttons on every page of the service. Remember, this is a website. You go to websites in a web browser — an application that already has its own home button, refresh button and back button. There simply wasn’t much care put into the design of this essential service. Wildly different fonts are used throughout, and many of the icons look generic. Even the UC logo in the upper corner is a low-resolution image. I’m not sure if UC’s technical staff is to blame, or if these concerns are the fault of the company that provided the university with this software. Either way, UC ought to seriously rethink how it approaches the design of such an important tool.

I love Clifton, I hate Clifton SAMI STEWART | OPINION EDITOR
Clifton is the disgusting, bloated, stinky armpit of Cincinnati. There are too many people, not enough parking spots and a complete deficit of common sense. In fact, I think this neighborhood is where good smells and human courtesy come to die. I don’t have enough fingers to count the number of times I’ve nearly been smacked by a car while legally crossing the street. I’m mostly upset that they didn’t just finish the job — at least then I could rest peacefully 6 feet under without having to live in this foul, waking nightmare a moment longer. Every Sunday night,
Cliftonites clunk trashcans down their rickety front steps, and the pungent aroma of stale beer and cat litter fills the evening air. How much longer will I have to pollute my body with these sour stenches before I’m free? And don’t even get me started on FC Cincinnati games. The traffic that floods our alreadyoverstuffed living space turns this neighborhood into a prison. One peek out the blinds to find a tidal wave of orange and blue tells me that I’m bunkering in my drafty (albeit cheap), apartment until the storm passes. Somehow, nobody knows how to effectively navigate the streets on foot or by car.
Horror movies SAMI STEWART | OPINION EDITOR NOELLE ZIELINSKI | MANAGING EDITOR Sami: If I wanted to get the piss scared out of me, I’d sit alone in the dark and let the existential dread lead me gently into insanity. I don’t need horror films to be scared. And if it were up to me, I’d never willingly watch one again. Set aside all the jump scares, gore and psychological disturbance, most horror films phone in the plot in exchange for cinema-worthy scares. I don’t blame them for giving the people what they want. And by the way, what’s wrong with all of you? Why do want this? Would you really rather sit in
excruciating anticipation for someone to get bludgeoned than follow a compelling storyline? I suppose my preference for sound content trumps special effects. And I suppose I’m just a scaredycat. But you can’t tell me that the vast majority of horror films have pisspoor excuses for plots. We already know that the all-too-curious hot blonde venturing into that dark corridor is getting her throat slashed sooner rather than later. We’ve been conditioned to be wary of extended silences. Since the beginning of the genre, plotlines have been chopped up and recycled — reworked with slightly
The trash outnumbers the citizens about 300 to one, and if I had a dollar for every time I saw a drunk girl pissing on the sidewalk, I’d have three dollars. That’s three dollars too many. For what it’s worth, I can’t say that I haven’t enjoyed the goodie bag of surprises that Clifton has offered me. The trash I find on the ground every day boggles my mind. I’m thinking about publishing a book about the trash in Clifton — that’s how much I love it (check back in 20 years when I find some free time). There are so many friendly street cats starved for attention, and I would set myself on fire to keep each one of them warm. You can most often find them
fresher faces and a bigger special effects budget. But really, no radically different ideas have been presented since the days of Hitchcock and del Toro. An entire genre dedicated to death and competing for the most gruesome gore without regard for character development or a water-tight plot? Now that’s terrifying. Noelle: Horror movies have held a special place in my heart since my brother forced me to watch “The Grudge” at the ripe, young age of four. Since then, nothing excites me more than watching movies that make my heart race and cower in my seat. Classics such as “Halloween” and Stephen King’s “It” remain top-rated films decades after their release, and that’s because they have something that modern-day horror films lack: substance. A mentally unstable killer escapes from a psychiatric institution to satisfy his insatiable hunger to kill? Gold. A creepy clowndemon haunts the lives of seven children, even after
rummaging through various dumpsters where they can feast on the smorgasbord of cuisines Clifton has to offer — Indian, Moroccan, Ethiopian, Japanese — you name it, there’s a corresponding dumpster, each with a heaping handful of complementary street cats. You can sleep soundly
Page 10 knowing that flooding won’t be an issue. Clifton has serious city-on-a-hill status. Your house is significantly more likely to collapse due to erosion than it is to be swept away in the summer rain. The trains at the switchyard are more than delighted to sing you to sleep and stir you awake with their shrill, haunting
lullabies. And our parallel overlook parks have the best view of the city herself (Cincy’s a she, obviously). OK, so I don’t exactly hate Clifton. To be honest, I kind of love it for all its filthy charm. I imagine that’s what my friends and family say about me, too, so I guess Clifton and I are in good company.
Cincinnati is broken into many neighborhoods with Clifton being a central spot in the city. WIKIMEDIA
they move away to try and escape it for 30 years? Yes, please. Films like these, and others, allow you to put yourself into absolutely terrifying situations without actually putting yourself at risk. It’s a win-win situation. Don’t get me wrong — horror movies without a solid plot are a waste of time and money, but they make for a great form of comedy. And movies that are filled with copious jump scares are a cheap copout for a decent storyline. But I’m not talking about those. I’m talking about real, thought-provoking horror movies. That’s what’s exciting and makes me come back for more. Modern-day films like “A Quiet Place” and “Insidious” both have original story lines that are horrifying and captivating, yet still manage to make you second guess what could be lurking in the dark. Horror movies have been, and will remain (at least in my book), one of the most fulfilling forms of entertainment the film industry has to offer.
