Clifton Market under new ownership UC commissions local artists to place Bearcat statues around Cincinnati GABRIELLA MULISANO | CHIEF REPORTER
Clifton Market, a co-op grocery store that has long faced financial turmoil, was sold for $1.8 million Friday, Nov. 30. Gurmukh Singh, the market’s new manager turned owner, used a portion of his own funds to finance the store. Singh also owns Elephant Walk Indian Ethiopian Bar and Grill on 170 West McMillan St., making him familiar with the ins and outs of foodfocused businesses. Clifton Market launched just over three years ago, but the store has routinely faced financial struggles. It has not received the amount of financial support that its business model calls for. Last month, shareholders were forced to make a decision about the market’s future, inspiring Singh to place a bid. Singh visits the store almost every day — observing how it operates, analyzing which products are selling well and getting to know customers and employees. The spirit of the community, Singh said, made him want to become closely involved. Singh moved from India to Cincinnati and attended the University of Cincinnati, where he received his undergraduate degree. “This store has been here so long, and it ran as a successful store before it was a co-op,” said Singh. “There are so many people … that put so much time and effort and money to make this place open and to make it work, so there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be successful.” Garrett Meadows, a Clifton Market employee, said he frequently shops there for groceries. A UC grad, Meadows said he
enjoyed the store well before joining the crew. “I love the store — I love the products that we carry,” said Meadows. “One of my favorite things is that we don’t really carry name brands specifically. We mostly carry more affordable stuff, more organic stuff, high-quality — instead of just getting every Kellogg’s cereal.” Still, some students believe the market is not economical enough for those with budgetary or financial concerns. “Clifton Market is a great idea, just not executed well enough,” said Alyssa Hallahan, a third-year health education student. “I don’t believe it supports other local businesses as well as it can … Things are generally overpriced to where I only get certain things there, and [I] go to Kroger for the rest.” Singh has fielded feedback from the community and is working to expand the market’s selection of organic products. He also plans to begin stocking more specialty items, like gluten-free products. “We’re going to take the store in whatever direction the community wants it to go,” said Singh. “Organic is in demand, so we will expand that.” He also hopes to cater to multicultural students and community members by stocking international food items. “We still want to preserve that community feel — that it’s still owned by the community — and create something that gives back to the community constantly and makes the business district better for people who shop here [and] for businesses to invest here,” said Singh.
DAVID REES | CHIEF REPORTER Life-size Bearcat statues will be introduced at the University of Cincinnati’s uptown campus and throughout the Queen City in April 2019. The statues, called “Hero Bearcats,” were designed by Cincinnati artists for the public art campaign. The statues will stand until September 2019. Produced by Chicagobased studio Cow Painters, the fiberglass statues will stand at 6 feet, 1 inch tall and will weigh approximately 150 pounds each. The free public art event will honor the everyday heroes that live and work within the Greater Cincinnati community, said Martin Ludwig, director of trademarks and licensing. “With our statues, we want to celebrate the difference every individual can make,” Ludwig said. “At UC, we are a community of leaders … We value diversity and all people, and [we] recognize there is dignity and pride for the people and work done in all types of occupations.” Artists were given until

bring their Bearcat to life. Artists will hand over their statues in late February or early March to be weatherproofed. When completed, 30 statues will stand throughout Cincinnati and surrounding communities. Final locations for the statues will be announced closer to the launch date.
UC Food Services: No romaine lettuce until 2019

Aramark, UC’s food services partner, discarded its supply of romaine lettuce after reports of an E. coli outbreak in California swept the nation. It will not purchase another supply until spring semester. The company removed and discarded all romaine lettuce from campus outlets Tuesday, Nov. 20, after the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned that consumers and distributors should get rid of all romaine lettuce supplies. The CDC downgraded the warning Monday after an investigation found that only romaine lettuce originating from the Central Coastal region of California was linked to the outbreak. “If you do not know where your romaine
lettuce is from, do not eat it,” the CDC said in a news release. Jonathan Hunt, district executive chef for Aramark, said the company is taking an aggressive approach to the outbreak and has decided not to purchase any more romaine lettuce until Jan. 14 at the earliest. “We will not provide romaine to our guests until we are 100 percent certain the problem has been eliminated,” Hunt said. In place of romaine lettuce, campus dining halls, retail outlets, Grab & Go and catering will use other lettuce blends, including spinach, iceberg and arcadian blend mix. Any potential impact of the warning was reduced, as all dining halls were closed from Nov. 22 to Nov. 24 for the Thanksgiving holiday. The total value of the discarded lettuce was $498.72, according to UC spokesperson M.B. Reilly.

UCIT to double campus network capacity MITCHELL PARTON | NEWS EDITOR

The University of Cincinnati Department of Information Technologies (UCIT) will complete its installation of new wireless equipment in every building on campus this month, doubling the number of devices the network can support. Current wireless access points on campus can support approximately 70 devices at one time, according to UCIT. The new equipment, by contrast, can support roughly 200 devices. “70,000-plus devices connect to our wireless network every day. That’s approximately 58,000 more connections than five years ago,” said Barbara Renner, associate director of cyberinformation and network operations. “This number does not account for the 25,000 wired network connections each day.”
The Network Operations Center, which is overseeing the upgrade, partnered with the Office of Information Security to deploy “state-ofthe-art” cybersecurity tools. “Students, faculty and staff depend on the university’s network to teach, learn, research and conduct university business,” Renner said. “Our goal is to provide the most robust, stable and secure wireless connectivity possible.” Before the upgrade, UCIT surveyed wireless coverage in each building on campus, prioritizing areas in need of increased capacity. “As we finish each building, our teams audit the wireless coverage again insure the refresh met the targets,” Renner said. “We work hard to make sure that when it’s done, it’s done right.” Technicians and contractors with UCIT will replace wireless access points in offices,
New bachelor’s degree program for CECH students ERIN COUCH | SENIOR REPORTER For students who live to serve their community, the University of Cincinnati has news for you: You can make it your career someday with the help of a brand-new major at UC. The College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services devised a new Bachelor of Science degree that launched this semester. The major, human development and community engagement, is a wide-reaching program that prepares students for future leadership roles in nonprofits, community outreach programs and government institutions. Kelli Jette, assistant professor and program coordinator for the human development and community engagement major, said students in the program aim to make a difference, and the major helps them achieve that. “I like to consider our degree as a preparing people to be effective agents
of social change, and the students that are currently enrolled, they’re real crusaders,” Jette said. The major was first offered in the fall 2018 semester. There are currently nine students enrolled in the human development and community engagement program, but students from UC Blue Ash and Clermont are joining in January. The key appeal of the major, Jette said, is its opportunity for field experiences — similar to an internship — where students can get hands-on experience working with different nonprofits and community organizations. These may include groups like Women Helping Women, a local organization that aims to help survivors of gender-based violence; or Lighthouse Youth & Family Services, an agency that supports young adults struggling with homelessness and families in crisis. The curriculum includes courses on project
management, grant-writing and public administration to prepare students to work in these fields in the future. DaManuel Montgomery, a second-year human development and community engagement student, was recommended for the major after struggling through his first year of nursing school. The decision to switch fields, Montgomery said, was a no-brainer. Montgomery first became interested in helping others after spending four years as a camp counselor at YMCA Camp Ernst. He quickly bonded with one of the campers who came to camp without clothes or food for the whole week, helping to pay for his essentials during his trip. Montgomery said he is optimistic that these field experiences will help him decide what he wants to pursue after graduation. “That’s what triggered me to go into human development and community engagement —
so I can do that for another kid [if] something is going on with him or [her],” he said. “I really stress at being
classrooms, hallways and study areas from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on scheduled refresh days, which can be found on UCIT’s website. While wired and wireless network services will be available throughout the project, some users may experience lost connectivity due to maintenance. “We have coordinated with our IT colleagues across the university to schedule any planned periods of lost connectivity during times of the day that are least disruptive to students, faculty and staff,” Renner said. “Many UCIT staff members adjusted their work schedules — sometimes replacing equipment from midnight to 8 a.m.” Before beginning work on a building, members of the refresh project team meet with academic, administrative and IT departmental contacts to review the schedule and
plan for areas requiring special consideration — such as departmental servers, classroom spaces and special events, according to UCIT’s website. This wireless upgrade is the second phase of a twoyear network and telephone refresh project. The project began with a replacement of network switches in equipment rooms across campus. The final phases of the project include converting the university’s telephones to an internet-based system and completing renovations and electrical changes to support the new equipment. “The university relies on technology to operate and to innovate,” Renner said. “And, just like a car, the network infrastructure endures usual wear and tear, requires regular maintenance and must be replaced after its useful life is over.”
a major, you [should] go out and get your handson experience in the field before you continue your degree, because if I never got that moment I got at the camp, then I probably would not know what I wanted to
do with my degree.” His experience with children has sparked his interest in a potential career at an agency that helps families reunite — and he said his field experience will help him get there.

Students re-establish campus anti-abortion club DAVID REES | CHIEF REPORTER The Student Activities Board approved UC Students for Life, bringing the anti-abortion student organization back to campus after over two years of inactivity. Richard Boylson, a third-year marketing and business analytics student, began the process of creating a new anti-abortion student organization last school year but was told that someone else already had the idea. “I was informed by the Student Activities Board that another student, Charley Heintel, was also starting an anti-abortion group, and they recommended that we combine the two groups,” Boylson said. “Charley and I met up and had very similar plans for the group, so we went ahead and just decided to make one group and both work as copresidents.” Heintel, a third-year accounting and finance student, said he believed the antiabortion perspective should have a place in such a large university. “Abortion is something that, all around, has unmeasurable effects considering the number of lives that have been lost — especially since Roe v. Wade,” Heintel said. Because the abortion debate is so emotional and primed for controversy, Boylson said, he and Heintel wanted to approach the issue from a different angle and start a conversation. “We generally do not want to be an abrasive force on campus,” Boylson said. “We want to defend anti-abortion values by first supporting an anti-abortion culture rather than by immaturely quarrelling with the anti-abortion view.” The organization believes that the most constructive way to build a culture of
life is by creating honest and thoughtful discussions with the opposite side. The club hopes to collaborate with other groups on campus and host events, like debates, to bring together both sides of the issue. “Our goal is to make UC, as a campus, more anti-abortion,” Heintel said. “That doesn’t mean we’re trying to convert people — that’s unrealistic. We can work with anti-abortion people and activate them so we can actually make a difference. Additionally, people who are borderline — we want to make people more appreciative of the value of life.” The group also plans to host a variety of events, like baby showers for pregnant students on campus, to provide support. Additionally, the club will be traveling to Washington D.C. in January to attend the March for Life. “We first want to build up a more significant membership and develop a strong community of anti-abortion students on campus,” Boylson said. “Then, we plan on working with Students for Life of America to host a variety of different activities and events that will help promote a culture of life.” Patrick Condit, a first-year engineering student, said the organization is open to anyone passionate about the issue, regardless of religious, spiritual or political affiliation. “As a group, we do not promote any variation of religion — we do not even promote any political party,” Condit said. “In fact, in our very first meeting, we decided as a group that both of these topics should be avoided in our meetings.” UC Students for Life meets at 5 p.m. Tuesdays in 520 Swift Hall.
The University of Cincinnati’s chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi (SAEPi), a Jewish-interest sorority, recently named its newest president, inaugurating the first transgender non-binary Greek Life president at UC. SAEPi named Elliot Draznin, a fourth-year entrepreneurship and marketing student, as president last week. Draznin previously served as secretary and Greek outreach chair of SAEPi and was a founding member of the chapter when it began in 2016. Draznin identifies as non-binary and prefers a gender-neutral pronoun. “I’ve wanted to be the president since that first day we started,” Draznin said in an email. “I love being a liaison for a team of people making a space for Judaism on this campus.” Jayson Douglas, director of UC’s LGBTQ Center, said Draznin is a prominent leader in the student community, paving the way for those who follow in his footsteps. “There is no secret that UC is a place of many firsts … from educating inventors that created life-saving treatments to now uplifting our trans community to serve in premier leadership positions within Greek Life,” Douglas said in an email. “A pioneer and a trailblazer, I hope that Elliot’s visibility will challenge organizations to reimagine their historic traditions to render more inclusion within their organizations for all people, especially gender and sexual minorities.” One year after Draznin came out as non-binary, the national board of SAEPi rewrote its statements of inclusion to explicitly include non-binary and transgender women. “SAEPi is proud to have always had a membership policy that is based on
inclusivity for women seeking a Jewish experience in a Sorority setting,” said Adi Hanein, national president of SAEPi, in an email. “As conversations about transgender and gender non-binary and agender members and potential members became a point of focus in the National Fraternity and Sorority Community, it was an easy decision to expand our policy to include those who identify as women, and gender non-binary and agender individuals, who support the Jewish womanhood of SAEPi.” Draznin said the change proved that the community was making strides to support and accept them as a member. “It’s really, really incredible to know that a Greek life organization that strives so deeply to make a space for the Jewish community has made that for not only cisgender women, but trans women and gender non-conforming and non-binary people,” Draznin said. Chayla Furlong, executive director of the national chapter of SAEPi, said
she is excited that such a qualified individual and founding member has been elected to the presidency. “Elliot, both locally and nationally, is a universally well-liked and valued member of our organization,” Furlong said in an email. “From the very minute we met, they proved themselves to be a passionate supporter of establishing a Jewish sorority on campus, and it’s been a pleasure to witness their journey of personal and professional growth as a member of SAEPi.” Emma Duhamel, a firstyear philosophy, literary and cultural studies student and Multicultural Greek Council delegate, said Draznin is one of her biggest role models. “Sigma has already proven itself to be a group of individuals dedicated to inclusivity, and I think that having Elliot as president will inspire other Greek organizations to strive for the same level of inclusiveness and help show other LGBTQ+ students, such as myself, that there is a place for them,” Duhamel said in an email.

Most anticipated movies coming in December DAVID REES | CHIEF REPORTER
Increasingly cold weather makes December a great month to snuggle up and go to the movies. This year, Hollywood is not releasing any blockbuster films until the second half of the month, leaving the first two weeks of December relatively dry. Consequently, families will have to pick and choose among the blizzard of movies released this Christmas season. Here are some movies worth considering this winter break:
“Spider-Man: Into the SpiderVerse”
High schooler Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) gets swung upside down when he discovers he is not the only one holding the mantle of Spider-Man. Believed dead, Morales meets another SpiderMan named Peter Parker (Jake Johnson) from an alternate dimension. Morales is introduced to the many other Spider-Mans, who together make up the Spider-Verse. Their realities collide to defeat an enemy threatening all dimensions. Set to release Dec. 14, the film has already been penned as the best animated feature of the year and
currently holds an incredible 100 percent “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Additionally, the film was named the “Best Animated Feature of 2018” by the New York Film Critics Circle.
“Mary Poppins Returns”
After decades, Mary Poppins (Emily Blunt) has returned to Cherry Tree Lane. Visiting the Banks family once more, Poppins must use her magic and wonder to aid the nowgrown Jane and Michael. With the help of her friend Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda), Poppins will bring joy and imagination to 1930s London. Set to release Dec. 19, the film is expected to be a worthy successor to the original masterpiece. “Mary Poppins Returns” is also being highly considered for award season, with a possibility of Blunt being nominated for Best Actress. Additionally, the film is expected to perform well at the box office, with an early tracking of $70 million for its opening week.
“Aquaman”
Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa), born halfhuman and half-Atlantean, is faced with a new reality when the underwater world of his mother beckons him to take his place
“Mary Poppins” is back, and it’s a must see. YOUTUBE
as king. Reluctant to take his place at the throne, Curry must first battle the evil forces aiming to wreck both the land and the sea. Coming out Dec. 21, “Aquaman” is expected to have the highest gross at the Christmas box office with a holiday week of $100 million. After sensational trailers, the film is supposed to be a turning point for the DC Extended Universe film franchise, as four of the five previous films have been critical and audience flops. Hopefully, “Aquaman” will join “Wonder Woman” as a just and worthy reflection of the classic character.
“Bumblebee”
Eighteen-year-old Charlie (Hailee Steinfield) finds a yellow Volkswagen in a junkyard in 1987. Charlie soon realizes that it’s no ordinary Volksawagen, but Bumblebee on the run. Together, the two find their place in the world while fighting a force unlike any other. Aiming to be a turning point for the franchise, ‘Bumblebee’ is expected rake in $40 million on opening weekend.

Best holiday movies of all time AARON DOYLE | CONTRIBUTOR Son of a nutcracker — it’s that time of year again. Who doesn’t love a good, classic Christmas movie? The holiday season wouldn’t be the same without them. They gather families together and bring joy, laughter and unity. Let’s reflect on just a few of the greatest Christmas stories ever brought to the big screen. Warning: Each film on this list is highly quotable. View at your own risk.
“Elf” (2003)
“Elf” and “Home Alone” are known as some of the best Christmas movies of all time. FLICKR
This Christmas comedy came out just 15 years ago, but it has already earned its place as a bona fide classic. “Elf” follows Will Ferrell as Buddy, who accidentally climbed into Santa’s bag and ended up being raised by Papa Elf, portrayed by Bob Newhart. Buddy, who ends up earning elf status himself, leaves the North Pole to find his biological father, played by James Caan, in New York City. Buddy winds up facing the cold reality of human life, but later discovers love and family as he finds his place in the world. “Elf” is easily one of the most quotable Christmas movies
out there. Who could forget the time-honored line, “Buddy the Elf, what’s your favorite color?” or Mr. Narwhal’s “Bye Buddy, hope you find your dad.”
“Home Alone” (1990)
This film features young Macaulay Culkin as 8-year-old Kevin who is accidentally left behind by his family on their way to an overseas vacation during the holiday season. Kevin is left to fend for himself and become “the man of the house” when a duo of robbers come to sack the place. It’s hilarious to watch Kevin outsmart the robbers with a series of traps to lure them away.
“The Santa Clause” (1994)
Tim Allen portrays Scott Calvin, a man who accidentally causes Santa Claus’s death and must take on the role himself. Calvin must find a way to convince everyone in his life that he is, in fact, Santa Claus. He faces numerous obstacles in the process, including his ex-wife’s husband, a highly skeptical psychiatrist; and the physical transformation into Santa. He risks potentially losing his family, including his young son who witnessed everything — even
Calvin’s trip to the North Pole to discuss his new “job” as Santa Claus.
“A Christmas Story” (1983)
All young Ralphie wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder BB gun. His mother, however, will have nothing to do with it, as Ralphie might “shoot [his] eye out.”Though this film was made in the early 1980s, it is set in the 1940s and features the infamous “Battle of the Lamp,” neighborhood bully Scut Farkus and the infamous line “Oh Fudge!”
“National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” (1989)
While this Christmas classic may not be as family-friendly as the other films on this list, it never gets old and manages to get funnier with every viewing. The film features Clark Griswold, played by Chevy Chase, who sets out to give his family the perfect Christmas — but not without facing tons of obstacles along the way. Prepare for a spectacle of disasters and hilarious characters, including the lovable but appalling Cousin Eddie.

UC men’s basketball knocks out the Norse JON RICHARDSON | STAFF REPORTER

It was not the flair, but the fundamentals that propelled the University of Cincinnati men’s basketball team to a 78-65 victory over the visiting Northern Kentucky University (NKU) Tuesday at Fifth Third Arena. The Bearcats (8-1) outrebounded the Norse 39-31, including a 28-12 first-half advantage, and attempted 33 free throws — the team’s second-highest this season. Redshirt junior forward Trevon Scott led the way for UC, scoring 22 points and hauling in 10 rebounds — good for his second doubledouble of the season. Here are the key takeaways from the win:

Recency bias aside, Scott continues to be UC’s most important offensive player not named Jarron Cumberland or Cane Broome. Scott continued his laser precision from the floor Tuesday, hitting 5-of-8 shots and raising his shooting percentage to 54 percent. Even Scott is not scoring 22 points — including 12-for-13 from the free throw line — to pace his squad. But his threat from midrange presents a unique counter to the zone defenses the Bearcats often face. As defenses have slowly fluctuated throughout the season, Scott has a knack for making the right pass and finding the inevitable leaks and cracks in the zone. He registered three assists against the Norse. “I’m confident — I’m always confident,” Scott said after the game. “My teammates did a great job getting me the ball and putting me in positions to score or get fouled … it was just my night tonight, I guess.” Defensively, Scott prevents the traditional front-court
mismatches that bigger teams experience by showcasing an ability to defend all five positions. He is also consistently the most vocal player on the floor. For the Bearcats to maintain success, they will need Scott to continue to play confidently and at a high level.
Pushing the pace
It is safe to say that Mick Cronin is averse to transition tempo. During his tenure in Clifton, the Bearcats have never ranked inside the top 200 in adjusted tempo, per KenPom. Additionally, UC currently ranks No. 299 nationally in average possession length at 18.5 seconds. But when an offense struggles to score in the half-court, as the Bearcats can, sometimes the best remedy is transition baskets. After leading just 15-13 midway through the first half, two steal-induced fast breaks from senior guard Cane Broome sparked what would inevitably be a 21-3 run. Later, when the Bearcats’ offense once again stalled, freshman guard Logan Johnson guided a blistering transitional possession for a quick, easy bucket.
Once again, it’s all about defense
NKU (8-2) senior forward Drew McDonald, who entered the game averaging 19 points and nearly 10 rebounds a game, was held to just eight points on 3-for15 shooting. “Giving him as many different looks as we can,” Cronin said of the game plan for McDonald. “He never is 3-for-15 … I’d be shocked if he’s ever had that field goal percentage in his career.” The Bearcats primarily fronted McDonald, closing the door on post entry passes. When the ball did
get inside though, Cronin flexed his defensive chess moves. Instead of quickly doubleteaming him, UC sent a delayed reinforcement. Junior center Nysier Brooks and sophomore forward Eliel Nsoseme slid over undetected, hidden behind McDonald’s defender and pouncing when the shot was comfortably released. The results? Three blocked shots, and — given his lackluster finish — a clear mental advantage over the standout Norse forward.

Rival’s perspective: Previewing the 2018 shootout MATT HUFFMON | SPORTS EDITOR The University of Cincinnati men’s basketball team (8-1) will host intercity rival Xavier University (5-3) in the annual Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout Saturday, Dec. 8, at Fifth Third Arena. Xavier is led by first-year head coach Travis Steele, who was promoted from his assistant job after Chris Mack left for the University of Louisville in March. We spoke with Luke Feliciano, sports editor of the Xavier Newswire, to discuss his expectations of this year’s Crosstown Shootout.

Q: Do you believe Steele will approach the game any different from Mack? A: “I think the approach will be much of the same. Steele had been on Mack’s coaching staff for the past nine seasons before taking over as head coach, so Cincinnati is a very familiar opponent to him. I think Steele, given his coaching tenure at Xavier,
understands the gravity of the situation and the weight of what this game means to this school and this city. Steele emulates many of the same ideals that Mack instituted in Xavier teams –– defense is a priority, making smart decisions and making hustle plays.” Q: Who do you expect to stand out on offense for Xavier without Trevon Bluiett? A: “Xavier lost or graduated 67 percent of its scoring from a season ago. Last season, Bluiett and J.P. Macura were clear-cut, goto scorers with the ability to take over games. This year’s team doesn’t have that type of player in its makeup. Rather, the scoring has been distributed. In this way, the scoring isn’t solely focused on one player. Naji Marshall and Paul Scruggs have been consistent scorers so far, and Tyrique Jones has been effective in the paint.” Q: How will Xavier’s graduate transfers/ freshmen approach their
first experience in the game? Has Steele put any extra emphasis on rivalry games? A: “There haven’t been any indications, at least from what I’ve gathered, that Steele has put an emphasis on rivalry games. He has the expectation of wanting to compete and win each and every game, and he truly has confidence in this bunch… That being said, it will be a statement win if he can bring home the win, especially on the road in his first season at the helm of the program.” “None of the graduate transfers have mentioned anything about the Crosstown Shootout in press conferences thus far. Although, I expect that to change closer to when Saturday rolls around. I’m sure the more seasoned players on the team will alert the graduate transfers and the freshmen what this game really means.” “The approach should remain pretty simple and that is to play the Crosstown Shootout like it’s
Military Bowl preview: UC, Virginia Tech meet again SPENCER SCHULTZ | SENIOR REPORTER Military Bowl preview: UC, Virginia Tech meet again Spencer Schultz | Senior Reporter After finishing with a 10-2 record — its best regularseason since 2014 — the University of Cincinnati football team will face the Virginia Tech (VT) Hokies in the Military Bowl Dec. 31 at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland. The game marks the 12th matchup between the two schools, with the Hokies seeking their second straight victory over the Bearcats after defeating them 33-17 in the 2014 Military Bowl. UC (10-2, 6-2 American Athletic Conference) finished its regular season with a 56-6 win over East Carolina University Nov. 23
at Nippert Stadium. Redshirt freshman quarterback Desmond Ridder and sophomore running back Michael Warren II were the offensive spark for the Bearcats this season. The one-two punch combined for 79 percent of the Bearcats’ offense and 42 total touchdowns. Ridder showed his dualthreat ability throughout the season, passing for 2,359 yards and rushing for 574. Warren was a man among boys, as the 218-pound back rushed for a career-high 1,163 yards and 17 rushing touchdowns, which tied him for third in Division I. The other side of the football was just as dominant for second-year head coach Luke Fickell, who will be coaching in his first bowl game since losing the 2016 Fiesta Bowl 31-0 to Clemson University
as Ohio State’s defensive coordinator. UC’s defense surrendered just 3,487 total yards to opposing offenses, finishing No. 8 in the nation. The Bearcats gave up an average of 16.1 points per game, placing the team in the top 10 of the category. Senior linebacker Malik Clements and sophomore safety James Wiggins were key factors to the Bearcats’ success on defense. Clements led the team in tackles with 53, while Wiggins finished with a team-high three interceptions and 51 total tackles. Virginia Tech (6-6, 4-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) found success in the finale, finishing the regular season with a 41-20 victory over Marshall University Dec. 1 at Lane Stadium. The Hokies had an upand-down season to this
point. After winning its first two games of the season, VT dropped six of the next 10 — including four straight losses between Oct. 10 and Nov. 17. During the skid, head coach Frank Beamer’s defense struggled to contain opposing offenses, giving up an average of 43 points per game. Sophomore Rayshard Ashby showed his consistency on defense, finishing with 100 tackles and a sack. Junior Reggie Floyd added 72 tackles and two interceptions. Despite the record, backup senior quarterback Ryan Willis and sophomore wide receiver Damon Hazelton have provided a boost for Beamer this season. Willis has thrown for 2,497 passing yards and 22 touchdowns, connecting with Hazelton for 745
of those yards and eight touchdowns. VT will continue to be without starting sophomore quarterback Josh Jackson,
any other game while still understanding the meaning that the game holds. Is it a rivalry game? Absolutely, but if the graduate transfers/freshmen continue to play the way they have, Xavier should have a pretty good chance at winning the rivalry game for the second straight season.” Q: Score prediction? A: “I think this game is more evenly matched than last season… I’m expecting a much closer game than last year. If the Musketeers can shut down Cumberland, that would be a major key for success. If not, visions of the last time Xavier played at Fifth Third Arena might resurface. I think Xavier can pull this one out, but it will be a tight finish –– because of the environment, it’s still early in the season, etc.” Feliciano’s score prediction: 73-67 Xavier.

The hidden costs of being a sexual assault survivor SIQI CHENG | CONTRIBUTOR
On Aug. 23, I went to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC) emergency department seeking a sexual assault forensic exam, commonly known as a “rape kit.” After roughly six hours of examination, I was discharged with an aftervisit summary, which included the names of the antibiotics and blood tests I was given and a two-page attachment on sexual assault. A campusbased advocate from Women Helping Women accompanied me during the emergency room visit. She informed me that the cost of the emergency room visit — as well as the rape kit — would be covered by state funding that serves and supports sexual assault survivors. State funding for these services is crucial. Emergency room visits and the forensic exams are expensive; a forensic exam bill alone could cost up to $1,200. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN), the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the U.S., evidence from sexual assault forensic exams carries substantial weight in court, increases the likelihood of identifying the perpetrator, holds
perpetrators accountable and prevents future sexual assaults from occurring. In fact, prosecution of sexual assault is unlikely to proceed without DNA evidence. On Oct. 26, I received a bill from my insurance company notifying me of the balance I owed UCMC for my emergency room visit just two months prior. It came as a total surprise. The fact that I was charged for my emergency room visit has serious implications. All sexual assault forensic exams take place in a hospital’s emergency unit. If survivors are billed for these visits, it means they must have the financial means to cover both the emergency medical care and the forensic exam. This financial barrier deters survivors from seeking care and preserving forensic evidence, decreasing their chances of effectively pursuing justice. Making sense of my emergency room bill was incredibly difficult. I called UC Health’s Patient Billing Office five times to request clarification. First, I wanted to know which services I was being charged for. Second, I wanted to discuss how getting an emergency room bill could be a privacy violation. I wasn’t expecting one to be sent to my home, and if the bill had been sent
to my parents, it would have forced me to disclose the assault to them before I was ready. Lastly, I wanted to know more about the state funding that supposedly covers sexual assault exams through the Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) program. Since these exams take place in emergency units, why aren’t the bills covered? And what will it cost for a survivor to have an exam? None of my conversations with UC Health representatives were helpful. One representative offered to draft an email to me and their supervisor. It’s been roughly two weeks since that phone call, and I have yet to receive an email. Most of the representatives I spoke to informed me that my bill was flagged for review due to my initial inquiry, and they offered to get back to me once the review was completed. Another rep told me that Ohio only covers the cost of the nurse examiner and facility fee during the survivor’s emergency room visit. Other essential aspects of medical care — like physician’s fees and antibiotics to prevent STIs — aren’t covered, the rep said. But that’s simply not true. I met with my advocate at Women Helping Women to discuss the funding issue.

I saw this an opportunity to press for more state funding to cover emergency room costs and alleviate the financial burden for survivors to seek care and preserve crucial evidence. The advocate was surprised to learn that I was billed for my emergency room visit since I only accessed the forensic exam, antibiotics, and blood tests to test for Hepatitis-C and HIV. She reached out to her colleagues for more information, and I finally got the answers I needed. The sexual assault exams that are funded through the Ohio Attorney General’s office include emergency room bills. SAFE’s website states that the program covers “the cost of a forensic examination and the antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent sexually transmitted infections. The program reimburses medical facilities directly in the hopes of reducing the burden of dealing with billing issues for survivors of sexual assault.” I called the SAFE office to ensure that I understood the language correctly. The person I talked to asked which services I received in the emergency room. Then, she told me to disregard the bill and said she would contact UC Health about the issue. I dug a little deeper to understand why UCMC would send the bill to my insurance company despite knowing that my visit could be reimbursed through the SAFE program. UCMC has been a taxexempt nonprofit since 1996, meaning the center pays no income taxes and no property taxes. In exchange for the tax break, UCMC is legally mandated to act as as a safety net hospital by serving a comparatively larger number of uninsured, Medicaid-eligible, Medicareeligible and low-income individuals than nonsafety net hospitals. The reimbursement rate from public coverage programs, like Medicaid and Medicare, is less than the amount

billed or the amount that a private insurance company would pay. SAFE funding operates much like a public coverage program. By transferring the cost to me and my insurance company to get a dollar-to-dollar reimbursement, UCMC has prioritized its own financial needs with little concern for me as a patient and a sexual assault survivor. Surviving sexual assault has been difficult. I’m still trying to comprehend the experience, and now, the recovery process. The emergency room visit was the first step for me to seek care, healing and justice. So much of the process I endured was laden with barriers due to UCMC’s practices. I was fortunate enough to have the personal network, literacy and time to investigate the funding issue and find a resolution. But not every survivor can say the same. The emergency room bill is just a small part of the immediate cost of surviving sexual assault. According to National Alliance to End Sexual Violence, rape is the most costly of all crimes to its victims, with a total estimated cost of $127 billion a year (and that’s excluding the cost of child sexual abuse). Researchers estimate that each rape
costs $151,423, on average. UC Medical Center and UC Health need to take concrete steps to support sexual assault survivors. These organizations need to work with survivors and advocates to develop information about billing options. If survivors’ access to services not covered by criminal justice reimbursement, UC Health needs to establish a clearer process governed by informed consent policies that will maintain each patient’s right to privacy and address safety concerns in advance. To build a supportive community and culture for survivors on campus and beyond, we need to acknowledge survivors’ financial needs and enforce better treatment when we navigate the consequences of obtaining medical care. If there’s even a remote possibility that the financial burden of an emergency room visit would make forensic exams inaccessible, we’re failing survivors. I hope to be the last survivor wronged by UCMC. If you’re a survivor and you received an emergency room bill for your forensic exam, please contact SAFE program at 614466-4797 or email SAFE@ OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov.

We should care about female genital mutilation LAUREN STYCZYNSKI | STAFF REPORTER Female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) is a human rights violation that happens every day across the globe. According to the World Health Organization, FGM/C “comprises of all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs, for nonmedical reasons.” FGM/C is performed without anesthesia, and often involves mothers and other women in the community to restrain the children. FGM/C is an extreme form of discrimination against women, as it constitutes both physical and psychological abuse. It’s also a violation of children’s rights. FGM/C is usually carried out on minors — often 4 to 12 years old — but it can sometimes be forced upon infants and older girls. It also violates their “rights to health, security and physical integrity … the right to be free from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment,” according to the U.N.
Declaration of Human Rights. FGM/C is often presented as a third-world issue only, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Even though the statistics are difficult to unveil, it is estimated that roughly half a million women and girls are at risk for cutting in the U.S. alone. That’s 18,150 in Columbus, Ohio; and 35,000 in Bloomington, Indiana, according a 2015 study conducted by the Population Reference Bureau. The number of at-risk women and girls in the U.S. does not correspond to the number of girls that are cut on U.S. soil. This is due to vacation cutting — a trend where young girls are taken overseas with family for the sole purpose of being cut, often during summer vacation. There are three different types of cutting. Type 1 is the least extreme (only cutting the clitoris), and type 3 is the most extreme (narrowing the vaginal opening by creating a covering seal). This leads to many psychological consequences and even chronic physical issues — some women require opening before their first intercourse, and
some traditions require re-closure following the birth of a child. Immediate physical issues can include infections, transmission of STIs, shock and even death. Even though FGM/C was outlawed in the U.S. in 1996, there are few laws that actually protect survivors. Only 26 states have statutes and three more are pending, which consist of the mandatory reporting of child abuse. In 2013, former President Obama enacted a law that made the transportation of minors for FGM/C a federal crime. However, there are many limitations of the legal approach. It does not account for social constraints. Survivors aren’t protected under current laws, and the “doctors” performing the procedures can’t be prosecuted, either. However, there is a pending federal prosecution against a physician in the state of Michigan. We should all care about female genital mutilation, because women everywhere are being tortured against their will and dying as a We as humans should stand up for people’s human rights even if they are not our result of botched procedures. neighbors.

Heartbeat Bill nullifies ‘sanctity of life’ argument ALAINA MONROE | CONTRIBUTOR
The new bill bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected and can result in increased fines and jail time for those who perform abortions after this time. TNR FILE
A record number of female representatives were elected to Congress last month, giving women unprecedented power to help shape this country’s future. Despite growing progress on the national scale, Ohio representatives are trying to turn back the clock on women’s rights using a backdoor legislative effort that undermines Roe v. Wade. House Bill 258 — one of the most stringent abortion bills in the country — was introduced to the Ohio Senate Nov. 19 after being passed by a wide margin in the House. The bill bans abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, penalizing those performing abortions with a fifthdegree felony resulting in up to one year of jail time and a $2,500 fine. A fetal heartbeat can be detected as early as six weeks into a pregnancy
(just two weeks after a missed period), when most women are still unaware that they’re pregnant. Doctors would be permitted to make exceptions in medical emergencies or to save the woman’s life, but not for instances of rape or incest. The lead sponsor of the bill, Christina Hagan (ROH), told The New York Times that it was crafted specifically to challenge Roe v. Wade. “We believe Ohio is best positioned to send this through the Circuit Courts and to the federal Supreme Court,” Hagan said. Ohio is clearly a prime spot for anti-abortion advocates to stake their claim, considering the bill passed with a veto-proof margin in the House and is likely to do the same in the Senate. The passage of the Heartbeat Bill — along with the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court — has sparked momentum for
an even more radical bill: House Bill 565. This proposed legislation seeks to ban all abortions — with no exceptions for rape, incest or the mother’s life. Worse, it would redefine “person” to include “any unborn human,” thereby equating abortion to murder and subjecting women and abortion providers to extreme punishments that could include the death penalty. This bill completely nullifies the sanctity of life argument. It is important to note the measures that have already been taken to limit abortion access in Ohio, including mandatory statedesigned counseling — which discourages women from getting abortions — as well as 24-hour waiting periods that result in two separate trips to the clinic. Since Ohio is one of the most restrictive anti-abortion states in the country, many women are forced to travel to
other states to receive care — a situation that disproportionately punishes the poor. Ultimately, the Heartbeat Bill strips women of their right to choose by effectively removing abortion as an option for most women. Even victims of rape will not be able to terminate their pregnancy if it is not immediately detected. Just 45 years ago, Roe v. Wade declared that a woman’s right to an abortion falls within her fundamental right to privacy and is therefore constitutionally protected. This precedent has been reaffirmed time and time again in cases since. The Heartbeat Bill flies in the face of precedent, and it should worry anybody who respects the rule of law. If you care about women’s constitutional rights, tell your state legislators to stop trying to criminalize abortions.
