Design majors set to merge in 2012 jason garrison the news record
The University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning will be fusing two of its largest majors as UC prepares the switch to semesters. DAAP has been planning the merger of graphic and digital design for two years. There have been weekly meetings with all DAAP faculty members to work on plans regarding the change to semesters and the new major, which is being billed as graphic communication design. “Everything in the communication industry these days is really done digitally as well as dimensionally,” said Robert Probst, professor and dean of DAAP. “Print or packaging is usually accompanied by a Web site and the virtual environment as well, so the evolution of the technology has almost brought the two together in a way that we cannot really separate them anymore.” Tentative plans for the new major are to make the biggest changes in the sixth through eighth semesters, which would be in the junior and senior years.

When graphic communication design students enter their sixth semester, they would have a choice of concentrating on one of three specialties: print-based design, time-based design or interaction design, according to the tentative course layout. “The switch to semesters was a fabulous opportunity to evaluate very carefully, and in a very calculated positive way, the advantages and the shortcomings in each of the programs and then make appropriate corrections, and that’s exactly what we are doing,” Probst said. No jobs should be affected by the merge, but three senior faculty members are planning to retire when the university switches to semesters see design | page 2

Minority numbers could fall james sprague the news record
Losing the Center for Access and Transition could mean losing some more minority students. The Center for Access and Transition will close in June, which brings up the concern of how the center’s closing will affect not only the diversity mission of UC, but the minority student population as well. The center aims to provide academic and life-building courses for students needing assistance in areas such as math, reading, communication and studying. Elimination of state-granted operating subsidies to four-year universities for access students is a factor in closing of the center. The subsidies will still be given to two-year colleges, such as UC’s Raymond Walters and Clermont colleges, said Caroline Miller, senior associate vice-president in UC’s Office of Enrollment Management. Starting next academic year, incoming students that would normally enter into the CAT program will be funneled into those branches instead of main campus. Concern has been raised on how eliminating the CAT program

Smoking ban expected to pass first vote gin a. ando the news record
Smokers beware. The year’s end might bring a smoke-free university. The smoking ban, which is to be voted on by the Undergraduate Student Government Wednesday, April 14, will need approval of the Graduate Student Governance Association as well as UC’s Board of Trustees, but is expected to pass. A poll on Blackboard suggests approximately 65 percent of respondents vote in favor of the ban. If all three bodies pass the resolution bill, all forms of tobacco will be banned, including electronic cigarettes, pipes, cigars, snuff and snus. “Waterpipe” smoking would be banned from all UC property as well.

Currently, there are more than 350 American college campuses that have enacted anti-tobacco rules, though some might not be in effect, according to American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation statistics. Although there are more than 100 higher education institutions in Ohio, UC would become the eighth establishment to completely ban smoking if the bill passes — though the university’s medical campus is already smoke-free. Wednesday’s meeting is also scheduled to allow SG to address its involvement in campus diversity. Despite scrapping a bill that would have required at-large senators commit to five hours of diversity outreach hours, a new outreach bill is also scheduled to be voted on.
Under the bill, the external holdover senator — currently Jason Ridder — would help create a schedule of events involving underrepresented people at UC so senators can “use their office hours to reach as much of their constituency as possible.” The schedule can then be looked over weekly so senators can plan involvement in advance. SG is also rallying to support Collegiate 100, a fraternity dedicated to the advancement of UC’s black community, in its Brother-to-Brother sessions.

Casino money to be used to fund internships james sprague the news record
If Gov. Ted Strickland has his way, the recently approved casinos in Ohio will be helping foot the bill for college internships. In a conference call with reporters from universities across Ohio Monday, April 12, Strickland said that he is going to urge the passing of legislation that will allow for a portion of the $200 million the state will receive for casino licensing to be used for the Third Frontier internship program.

Raymond Walters, Clermont College and the College of Applied Science are included. “All university owned, leased or maintained property” will be affected, according to the bill. The ban will allegedly lower insurance and UC’s maintenance costs as well as boost the image of campus, according to the bill.
The owners of the four approved casinos in Ohio — Rock Ventures, LLC, and Penn National Gaming Inc., will be required to pay a $50 million licensing fee per casino to the state. These funds are the ones Strickland aims to tap into for internships. The Third Frontier internship program is part of the Third Frontier program, which is seeking a $700 million bond renewal for funding at the polls in May. The hope is to connect students to internship opportunities throughout Ohio with private sector businesses involved with the Third Frontier program.
It will be much more likely for individuals to remain in Ohio after graduation if they are involved in Ohio’s economy while still students, Strickland said. Third Frontier reimburses up to 50 percent of an intern’s wages — but no more than $3,000 per year — while the remainder is to be paid by the company. Strickland is aiming to keep the ratio with the help of funds furnished from the casinos. Some of the areas that Third Frontier is concentrating on for future placements of interns include: information technology, bioscience and advanced manufacturing.

add to the already decreasing African-American student population at UC. The students currently enrolled in the CAT program will remain on main campus in baccalaureate programs. The 2009 UC|21 report card showed a trend of declining black student populations. The student population of the center is made up primarily of black students, which accounted for approximately 37.4 percent of the 583 students enrolled in CAT for Fall quarter 2009, according to the Office of Institutional Research statistics. There have been administrative meetings held in CAT with discussion centered on a possible 1 percent drop in the African-American student population at UC due to the center’s abolishment, said a source speaking on the condition of anonymity due to fear of recrimination. “It is probably true that there will be a 1 percent decrease,” said Kristi Nelson, senior vice provost for academic planning. The black student population, which made up
11.2 percent of the UC student body in 2003, decreased to 10.1 percent in 2008, according to the 2009 UC|21 report card. UC’s African-American population in 2009 was 9.6 percent, according to the OIR’s statistics. The decrease in minority population hinges on enrollment for the next academic year, said Terry Kershaw, a UC professor of Africana studies. A 1 percent falloff of black students, however, is still 1 percent too much, said Eric Abercrumbie, director of the African-American Culture and Research center at UC. “CAT was a bridge to students who traditionally lacked certain things academically,” Abercrumbie said. “How do we get to increasing [the minority population]?” UC is going to have to be both competitive and clever in recruiting minority students, Abercrumbie said. Making financial aid available and increasing scholarships are just some suggestions to accomplish this, he said.
Another problem of whether faculty at the UC branch campuses would be able to effectively work with the type of student that CAT tailored to. Black students currently enrolled are questioning whether UC really wants them, Abercrumbie said. “Is it really the institution of first choice for black, academically talented students?” he said. One faculty member was overheard saying, “We don’t want ‘em,” in referring to students in the CAT program, the anonymous source said. Abercrumbie said he has also heard faculty in different departments say they didn’t want CAT students in their programs. “What happens to the people who taught students here?” Abercrumbie said. The faculty members represent the experts, he said. Resources and training faculty are essential in working with access students, Abercrumbie said. “You can’t make the assumption anymore that even black faculty know how to deal with them,” he said.

in 2012, said Mike Zender, interim director of the design school and coordinator of the merger. “You can’t replace somebody who has been teaching for 30 or 40 years — it’s just impossible,” Zender said. “The new curriculum will attract really new quality people that really want to be a part of this new picture. It’s both a challenge and a great opportunity.” Students already enrolled in either graphic or digital design and are caught in the middle of the merge will be affected. The level of impact will depend on where they are in their academic careers when the switch takes place. Freshmen and sophomores will most likely be integrated into the new program their junior and senior years. Juniors and seniors will most likely continue on their current track A major plan that Probst and Zender have in the future is to restructure the graduate program in the school of design. Probst would like to see all of the graduate programs interact with each other and be more interdisciplinary. He is especially excited about the idea of strategically linking the colleges of Business, Arts and Sciences — specifically journalism — and Design to create a master’s degree program in new media, which would incorporate all three undergraduate majors.
No matter who fills in and starts with the returning trio, the offensive line will again need to play an integral part by buying the quarterback time and opening holes during the upcoming season. Jones plans on featuring the running game more this season than in years past at Cincinnati. But Jones has no plans of slowing down the high-paced offense Brian Kelly first brought to Nippert Stadium. In fact, he plans on making it faster. “I believe we can be one of the most high-powered offenses in the whole NCAA this year,” Franklin said. “That certainly is one of our goals, to be one of the best, fast-paced and high-scoring offenses in the league.” With only five spring practices remaining, the offensive line has been worked hard in order to get accustomed to the new style of play. But if the Bearcats want to make plans for a third-straight Big East title and another Bowl Championship Series appearance, the offensive line will need to be near perfect. But for now, they just need to survive Jones’ practices. “For the most part, they’ve done a pretty good job,” Jones said. “Their bodies are extremely sore, their hamstrings are sore, but that’s natural for throwing this offense in. The great thing is they’ll understand the expectations once spring ball is concluded.”

Go online to newsrecord.org for a slideshow of more favorite spring fashion on campus. an interesting accessory You’d never catch me with a tobacco pipe, but it’s the spring accessory of choice for Sam Taylor and Isaiah Ianniello, both students in electronic media.
color is key The black-and-white photo does not do Alex Allendorf, a second-year urban planning student, any justice. His red and green outfit is all the right hues for this spring. love the scarf Lucy Breidenthal, a third-year international affairs student, found the perfect day to rock a light weight scarf, the perfect accessory to jazz up her easy ensemble on a spring day.
attention-grabbing color You can never have too much color. Adrian Broadnax, a first-year exploratory student, does it right, matching accents from his shirt to his shoelaces. It’s loud, but it works.
yes, it’s real Danielle Rains, a first-year psychology student, took it easy. The shirt and shorts are good for being on the go. My favorite part, though, is her cute bike tattoo.
happy in plaid The pattern has always been a warm-weather favorite. In the lightweight button up, Emily Grossman, a second-year urban planning student, proves it’s not just for timber fallers. spring + hats = win Sam Crow, a first-year fashion design student, rocks her pale green hat with the flower accent. Hats aren’t accessories you’d think to turn to in spring, but Sam proves it can be done. The giant headphones help. Bravo.

Keep corporations, Comcast off Web nick grever
Net neutrality was dealt a major blow Tuesday, April 6, when the United States Court of Appeals ruled that the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) does not have the authority to force Internet service providers (ISP) to give equal treatment to all the traffic moving across the networks. The case is a loss for the lesser of two evils involved. Considering the track record of the FCC and the profiteering nature of the ISPs, neither of the two parties is popular. But with the April 6 decision, the bigger bad guy won. The concept of net neutrality is a fairly new concept. It entails regulations being placed upon the ISPs so they provide equal access to all Web sites for all broadband users. The objective is admirable, and President Barack Obama is a spoken advocate of the idea. Ideologically, net neutrality is a great model: equal access to the entirety of the Internet and its contents for all Americans. However, we must remember who would be policing the ISPs to maintain net neutrality: the FCC. The same FCC that locked down television content after the
infamous Super Bowl flashing of Janet Jackson’s breast. The same FCC that threatened to impose massive fines on networks and radio stations breaking regulations. While television and the Internet are two different entities, the precedent of quick, and, some would argue, overblown reaction by the FCC is worrisome, even if their stated intent is to maintain a free and open Internet for all. However, on the other side of the coin, we have ISPs — in this case, Comcast. The event that sparked the case was Comcast’s restriction on the popular Web site BitTorrent, slowing its users’ access to the popular file-sharing service. This is a scary first step to what is being called a “two-tier” Internet service. The first would be more expensive with greater and faster access to Web sites, particularly ones dealing with media, like YouTube.com, or high-traffic Web sites, like Espn.com. The second would be cheaper but slower, and could possibly have restrictions placed on content, much like what Comcast did with BitTorrent. In a perfect world, the free market would prevent this. If, say, Comcast placed these sorts of restrictions,
their user base could choose another ISP that offers more open Internet services. But the free market is exactly why we should be so worried about this decision. A two-tier Internet model would bring even more dollars to broadband ISPs. If they all made the switch to this new system, consumers would have to choose — not which ISP is the most open, but which ISP offers the premium content of interest. Suddenly, the FCC’s history of over-policing doesn’t seem so ominous. What the decision comes down to is the court’s faith in the free market, claiming that the FCC “has failed to tie its assertion of ancillary authority over Comcast’s Internet service to any ‘statutorily mandated responsibility.’ ” In basic English, this means the FCC didn’t prove they had the power to regulate how Comcast presented service to their customers. An appeal is expected. And, for once, I’ll be cheering for the bad guy, but only because I don’t want the bigger bad guy to decide what I can and cannot see on the Web.

Students must pay attention to climate change Long- and short-term problems need attention, solutions before worst case plays out german lopez
As the talk of health care reform begins to die down, the talk of energy reform is ramping up. The House of Representatives already passed an energy reform bill last year, and the Senate is currently working to get its own version out. But for a lot of people, energy reform is a confusing issue. Conservatives worry such reform would be far too intrusive and unnecessary. Liberals are skeptical about how urgent such reform actually is, especially since we are in an election year. Such confusion is understandable. Even though there is a scientific consensus about climate change and its effects, conservatives think there is a lot to doubt, and make sure such doubts are heard loud and clear. Just last year, conservatives raged when hacked e-mails revealed scientists might be withholding climate change data to make the issue seem more urgent. Pundits
like Rush Limbaugh dubbed the scandal “Climategate,” calling it the end of the global warming “scam.” But the recent investigation completed by the United Kingdom House of Commons found that, even though scientists acted unethically by withholding data, nothing that scientists withheld actually raised doubts about climate change. In fact, the panel defended the soundness of the data, stating that climate change is still a very real threat. So if climate change is happening, what will its effects be? This is a question University of Cincinnati students will have to face as years go by and nothing gets done: How will people, especially younger generations, be affected by climate change? There isn’t a shortage of reports that describe the deadly long-term results. These reports all have a common theme — mass extinction. Some reports claim it might happen through an anoxic event, in which Earth’s oceans are deprived of oxygen, while others
talk about mass desertification, which would destroy most of the planet’s fertile farmland. Fortunately, these events will take centuries to unfold, and will only happen if humanity does nothing in regard to climate change. But, there is going to be some damage in the short term, and some of it might already be irreversible. According to a report released by The Guardian, one of the UK’s largest newspapers, last year, it is now expected that Earth will warm up by at least 2 degrees Celsius. In such an event, the report goes on, droughts would become increasingly common. In the best situation, this means higher food prices as farmers produce smaller yields. In the worst situation, this could lead to higher starvation rates, famine and war as fertile farmland becomes less common in already struggling countries. The good news is that something can still be done, and it will have benefits outside of the environmental gains. One such benefit is the defeat of the villain of
climate change: oil. Since it is a non-renewable resource, oil can easily fluctuate in supply and price, leading to economic instability. This is something Americans should be familiar with: In the last six years, the average price of gas has ranged from less than $2 to more than $4. But with energy reform leading to renewable energy sources, this no longer has to be a problem. Another benefit is economic stimulation. As new industries are opened to find the next big source of energy, new jobs will open up, too. This is especially great news for engineers. Such economic stimulation and job growth could also lead to widespread economic growth, making the average American wealthier while lowering energy costs in the long term. Of course, action will not be free. Even liberals like economist Paul Krugman admit the upfront cost of climate change reform will not be trivial. But, as Krugman points out, the cost of inaction will be much worse, and it will only become worse as politicians and pundits delay action.
Area crime decreasing, need for safety increasing carly Behringer
Crime happening in Cincinnati is no joke, especially when something occurs around campus. It seems like crime alert e-mails are sent out daily, overwhelming your inbox with reports filled with depressing situations. Adding to the agony is that many students ignore the e-mails and delete them, rather than take time to realize they could become the next victim of a crime. Students can no longer afford to adopt the “It could never happen to me” mentality. Students are not immune to the dangers of Cincinnati. Fortunately, there are preventative measures students can take to decrease the risk of being a victim. “Do not walk and talk on a cell phone or listen to music,” said Kip Dunagan, a Cincinnati Police Department detective. “Divided attention is something criminals look for.” It would be easy to see how someone could break these safety rules. Who doesn’t listen to their music while walking to and from class? Yet, when it comes to walking late at night from campus back to your apartment on the bottom of Wheeler Street, the decision to not listen to music could keep you from becoming a victim.
let your voice be heard.
Other safety tips from Dunagan include: when walking alone, plan routes to avoid dark or isolated areas; don’t feel strange about looking over your shoulder every minute to make sure no one is following you and never offer a ride to someone you don’t know. And the most commonly overlooked: lock your valuables in your trunk when parking your car. I think we all know someone who left something in their front seat only to find the driver-side window smashed to bits less than one hour later. “Thefts from autos take less than a minute to happen, and the odds of recovering your property are almost nil,” Dunagan said. Spring and summer are especially dangerous times in Cincinnati, when more people are out at night than usual. “With warmer weather, more people are out and about, which translates into more potential victims,” Dunagan said. Fortunately, the crime rate has decreased around Clifton Heights by as much as 25 percent, Dunagan said. Fewer crimes have been reported in the past few years, showing a 9 percent decrease in total crime in the
city from 2006 to 2009, according to Cincinnati Police Department statistics. So, the crime rate is down — for now. Even though crime rates are down, students shouldn’t stop practicing the art of staying safe. Cincinnati and University of Cincinnati police work together near and around campus to ensure the safety of students, especially those on campus late at night. “We’ve added a lot of discretionary police cars stationed between districts four and five, which are near Vine Street,” said Capt. David Bailey of the CPD. “We patrol around the [Clifton] area from around 8 p.m. until 1 a.m. or 2 a.m. Hopefully, with the students seeing us out, it’ll make them feel more safe.” The best advice for students to stay safe is to walk with confidence and don’t act like you’re intimidated by your surroundings. Insecurities and fears can mark you as an easy target. “This is my own personal saying: ‘When lions go out to hunt, they do not hunt other lions.’ Meaning, be confident in your walk. Look and act like you know what you’re doing and where you’re going,” Dunagan said.
The Undergraduate Student Government is expected to vote Wednesday, April 14, on legislation that would bring the university one step closer to being totally tobacco free. The bill must also be voted on by the Graduate Student Governance Association and the Board of Trustees. Want to be heard?

Mickelson at Masters: one for the ages
Augusta, Ga., is famous for being home to the most prestigious golf tournament in the world. The tournament that is “a tradition unlike any other.” Another Masters tournament has come and gone, but this year’s edition of the major championship proved to be one golf fans won’t soon forget. Oh I’m sorry, that’s right, at Augusta National Golf Club spectators are referred to as “patrons” or “the gallery” rather than “fans” or “those annoying people that can piss off Tiger Woods during his backswing.” But as hoity-toity as Augusta National and the Masters might be, the golf put on display for the world always seems to be second to none. This year’s tournament was no exception. Quick. Give me your favorite moment of this year’s Masters. How can you pick just one? How about Tiger Woods making his return to professional golf? This tournament was the public’s first peek at the new-look Tiger. Post-scandal eruption Woods told the media he was making a significant effort to keep his cool on the golf course. At Augusta, television cameras were constantly pointed at Woods, watching his every swing as well as every reaction. Every swing wasn’t exactly what Tiger wanted, and every reaction wasn’t exactly what Masters officials wanted. While he never dropped an F-bomb or turned an 8-iron into an oversized paper clip, he did let some curses of disgust slip after a number of shots he wasn’t happy with. But, it could have been worse. Woods was even kind enough to sign autographs one evening after practicing late. It was good to see Woods working on his public image by interacting with fans — fans that have continued to support him. And that memorabilia with his John Hancock is probably fetching a pretty penny on eBay. After months of seclusion, treatment and time with his family, the world’s No. 1 golfer took a break from trying to get his life in order and stepped into a competitive tee box for the first time in more than five months Thursday, April 8. And oh yeah, somehow he managed to put together his best opening round at Augusta through his 18-year career (his first appearance at the Masters was in 1992), shooting a 4-under-par 68. Unfortunately for Woods, he didn’t post a score that low again the rest of the tournament and was never in serious contention for the lead. Neither was Anthony Kim, but he did have a pretty good Sunday at Augusta. Kim’s 7-under-par 65 tied for the low round of the tournament, but it was too little, too late. But hey, third place isn’t too shabby of a finish. But how could any Masters moment top the man who finished at the top? Only one problem: which Phil Mickelson moment do you go with as your tournament favorite? How about the run he made Saturday when, after an eagle on the par-5 13th hole, Lefty found the bottom of the cup from more than 140 yards out on 14, giving him an eagle 2 and tying for the greatest two-hole score in Masters history. But he wasn’t done yet. Mickelson came about five feet shy of posting a third-straight eagle on 15. Instead he settled for birdie, but the five shots he made up in just three holes is the stuff of legends. How about Mickelson at 13, though? Through the tournament’s four rounds, Lefty finished 6-under-par on the final hole of Amen Corner, but no shot of the tournament compares to Mickelson’s second shot at the 13th hole. From the pine straw, through a four-foot gap between two trees, over a creek and onto the green, within four feet of the hole from 207 yards away. That’s the stuff legends are made of. And with his third green jacket in hand, it’s safe to say Lefty has cemented himself as a legend of the game. Can Lefty be considered one of golf’s all-time greats? How long before Tiger Woods wins another major? Send Sam your antics at elliotsu@mail.uc.edu.
sports Bearcats on to Nuxhall Classic finals Peter Marx the news record
Senior Brian Garman scored the winning run for the University of Cincinnati baseball team after Jimmy Jacquot’s solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning tied the game and helped the Bearcats pull off a comeback Tuesday, April 13. UC Cincinnati (16-14, 3-6 Big East) overcame a 5-1 deficit and defeated Wright State University WSU 6-5 in the first game of the 2010 Joe Nuxhall Classic at McKie Field at Hayden Park in Oxford, Ohio. “We certainly could’ve done some things better earlier in the game, but we got a big hit late in the game from Jacqot to tie it, another hit, we were able to steal a base and had some things go our way in the ninth,” said UC head coach Brian Cleary. The things that went the Bearcats’ way were two wild throws from Wright State. Garman stole second base and advanced to third after catcher Garrett Gray threw the ball into

center field, and Garman scored the winning run after a wild pitch sailed behind the plate. Up until the ninth inning, Cleary said he didn’t know if his team would be able to pull off the win. “I thought it was going to be tough for us,” Cleary said. “I thought we had the right guys coming up. Home run wasn’t how I thought we’d score the run, but I thought if we could get somebody on base, I knew we had Jacqout coming up.” Jacqout finished the game 2 for 4 with one RBI and a home run. Cincinnati didn’t have its best day at the plate, but got hits when it needed them most. “I think we actually swung the bat OK compared to how we’ve been doing,” Cleary said. “We’re just not a tremendously strong team offensively. I thought our defense really let us down early in the game with the errors and I felt like we could have held them to fewer runs if we played a little bit better defensively.” Senior pitcher Kevin Johnson started the game for Cincinnati, but it was Josh Godfrey who closed it out. Godfrey pitched four innings and gave up no runs, three hits and only one walk with two strikeouts.

Championship Game Next Cincinnati will face Miami (OH) in the title game of the Joe Nuxhall Classic at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 14. “I thought that was [Godfrey’s] best performance of his career,” Cleary said. Senior Kevin Johnson went 2 for 5 at the plate and sophomore Kiley
Jones went 1 for 3 with two RBIs. Cincinnati will play Miami (OH) in the tournament’s championship game at Hayden Park at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, April 14.
PAT STRANG the news record
In the trenches Zach Collaros, Armon Binns and Isaiah Pead might get the stats, but Alex Hoffman (59), T.J. Franklin (65) and the rest of Cincinnati’s offensive line will be a key factor in the Bearcats’ success in the fall.
Offensive line secret to Bearcats’ success Sam Weinberg the news record
Last season, the University of Cincinnati football team had one of the highestpowered offenses in college football, ranking 13th nationally with 5,817 yards and 66 touchdowns. Look at the stats, it’s easy to see all the touchdowns Tony Pike threw for and all the yards Mardy Gilyard racked up. But a lot of the credit for the Bearcats’ offensive firepower goes to the guys who didn’t accumulate any stats — the offensive linemen. The offensive linemen are the unsung heroes of the game, often flying under the radar while their skill-position teammates shine in the spotlight. “It comes with the territory,” said junior T.J.
unsung
Franklin. “All the quarterbacks know that we’re the reason they get the chance to throw the ball, and the running backs and the quarterbacks are always the first ones to come up to us after the game and thank us for playing our butts off.” Last season, the Bearcats’ offensive line was an iron curtain, allowing only 15 sacks for 96 yards, ranking 16th in the NCAA and first in the Big East. “As an offensive line, we just want to try to do what we did last year, which was lead the conference in the fewest sacks against,” said senior Sam Griffin. “That’s just something we take pride in.” After losing seniors Chris Jurek and Jeff Linkenbach, the three returning starters from last season are Franklin, Griffin and junior Alex Hoffman “We don’t care who’s filling in with just us three returning,” Hoffman said.
heroes
“We’re comfortable with anyone who steps in. We can trust anyone and we’ll work with anyone.” Junior Evan Davis and senior C.J. Cobb have had strong outings during spring practices and have shown the UC coaching staff they have the determination and drive to play with the returning veterans. Cobb broke his right ankle during practice Saturday, April 10, and has undergone a successful surgical procedure. The team’s orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Angelo Colosimo, preformed the surgery at University Hospital Monday, April 12. “[The offensive line has] done a good job without C.J. Cobb,” said head coach Butch Jones. “[The injury] was unfortunate, but that’s part of the game.” see Offensive | page 2
Rivalry match: Cincinnati downs Musketeers 4-3 Jason Garrison the news record
The University of Cincinnati tennis team was the first to reach four points Tuesday, April 13, and beat rival Xavier University in its final regular season match before the 2010 Big East Championship. The Musketeers started strong by winning two of the three doubles matches, but Cincinnati (11-11, 3-3 Big East) finished strong in the singles matches to win overall at the Trabert-Talbert Tennis Center. The Bearcats jumped off to a strong start on the doubles courts, at one point leading on all three courts. But Xavier came back to win two of the three courts to earn the match’s first point. In the singles matches, Abby Mayo was the first Bearcat to earn Cincinnati a point, sweeping Xavier’s Kelsey Kinnard on court six 6-4, 6-2. Caitlin O’Gara gave the Bearcats their next point, beating Xavier’s Kaitlyn Zinn court five in straight sets 6-0, 6-4. “The team battled back after losing a doubles point. They really rallied and came through,” said Cincinnati head coach Angela Wilson. “Our [courts] five and six were
really tough and helped us. Abby Mayo’s win on six was huge.” Sofiyya Ismail won court two in two sets, beating Xavier’s Tifanie Treece 7-5, 6-2 and Cincinnati’s final and match-winning point was won by Elise Wolf against Xavier’s Kally Alkire on court four in two sets, 8-6 and 6-2. Xavier’s Jill Ducro won court three 7-5 and 6-3 and the only match to go to three sets was won by Musketeer Katie Pleiman on court one, 4-6, 6-3 and 6-3. The Bearcats will travel to South Bend, Ind., for the 2010 Big East Championship beginning Thursday, April 22. “It’s a nice team victory going in our last match of the season and especially against Xavier, our town rival,” Wilson said. “Going into the Big East [championship], it will be nice to have this victory.”
