Conversion on course Switch to semesters in 2012 still moving along jeremy davis the news record
coulter loeb | the news record
TIMES ARE CHANGING Like the architecture of campus has changed, the academic year will change from quarters to semesters in 2012.
The University of Cincinnati’s conversion from quarters to semesters is moving right along toward its expected implementation at the start of the 2012 academic year. Currently in its first phase of planning, university faculty is working on converting its course material so the transition from quarters to semesters goes through without a hitch. Much of the initial phase is scheduled to be completed Fall 2010. At the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences, faculty in every department are busy working to complete the conversion process. “All A&S departments are engaged in this process and it’s a big job,” said Joanna Mitro, associate dean for undergraduate affairs at McMicken. “Our faculty have entered 1,147 courses into the e-curriculum system; so far only 340 have been completely approved by their departments and the college-level course approval process and more courses are still being created.”

The transition into semesters might provide additional benefits to students by allowing further opportunities to study abroad, easing the transition of transfer students and giving students more flexibility in regards to switching and dropping classes due to a semester’s extended time period, according to UC’s semester conversion website. The impact of the semester conversion also has many A&S faculty members wondering how it will affect their ability to advise some students who began under the current quarter system. “One impact that worries faculty is the amount of effort that will be needed to advise students whose college careers will span both quarters and semesters,” Mitro said. “In A&S we have very broad and flexible core requirements, and many students now
combine programs (such as double majors or a major plus minors), and our majors have varied structures.” The third phase of the plan, set to take place September 2011 to August 2012, will have advisers meeting to help students ease through the transition. Despite those concerns, the semester conversion will bring many positive advantages not found under the current system, Mitro said. “But there are also advantages for A&S after we get to the other side of the conversion,” Mitro said. “The e-curriculum system enables some processes that are difficult or impossible now. For instance, in semesters we will have real cross-listing of see conversion | page 2

Student misses court, warrant issued for arrest gin a. ando the news record
University of Cincinnati student Sarah Knigga is currently facing a capias warrant after missing her indictment hearing Friday, May 28. Brian Stretcher, Knigga’s lawyer, said she did not miss the hearing on purpose. If caught by the police, she may be arrested. If she opts to turn herself in, she will be held on a $100,000 bond. Knigga, 23, allegedly assaulted two Cincinnati Police Department officers that responded to a call saying the fourthyear electronic media student punched a SARAH man in the head. KNIGGA Knigga was claimed to have kicked one police officer multiple times and kicking another after throwing a table when the officers responded to an apartment on Ludlow Avenue the night of Monday, May 10. At the hearing, Knigga was scheduled to receive her formal accusation of one count of felonious assault. Additional misdemeanor charges of assault and resisting arrest were suspended — the cases will be brought up at a yet-to-be-determined date. Another charge of felonious assault was “ignored,” Stretcher said. The case, however, is complicated by Knigga’s impending graduation. She has been working to find a way to graduate this month and eventually turn herself in to authorities. However, if Knigga turns herself in, there is a chance she would remain in custody at the Hamilton County Justice Center until her next court date, Stretcher said. “There’s no way to know how long she’ll be held,” Stretcher said. Judge Norbert Nadel is assigned to preside over the case.

After a lengthy back-and-forth, the Undergraduate Student Government approved $660 of its budget to use toward a laptop for student body Vice President Mark Rooney. President Drew Smith, who brought the bill up at Wednesday night’s meeting after it was tabled due to budget questions, reintroduced the bill, which was received with mixed reactions. Originally, the bill had put aside approximately $990 for a vice presidential laptop. Many senators, however, argued the specifications and the price tag were extreme for its intended uses.

A University of Cincinnati professor got a tip of the hat from the Ohio Board of Regents for his unique teaching style. Richard Harknett, an associate professor of political science at UC, received the 2010 Faculty Innovator award for introducing electronic substitutes and technologies to help reduce textbook costs for students. “I was really pleased to receive [the award] from the Ohio Board of Regents and the Ohio State Senate, because it represents the recognition that faculty on their own engage creatively in advancing new ways of teaching and that the State of Ohio wants to promote such creativity,” Harknett wrote in a statement. “The University of Cincinnati has been very supportive of faculty using instructional

technology and has supported my efforts in creating original web-based course materials.” Harknett’s “web-textbook” is aimed to give students a different style of learning, in which those enrolled in his classes can “become more engaged directly with course material, which in turn helps them think differently about that material,” he said. The award, however, was not something Harknett was aiming for. “My main motivation was to use instructional technology to teach differently,” Harknett said. “The side benefit was that instead of spending $250 for [course materials], students pay less than $15.” Harkett said he was also looking for a way to help students become more immersed in the course materials. “Through role-play exercises and a web-textbook that allows non-linear reading of material, my classes allow students to become more engaged directly,” he said.

student. More often than not, I hated my life. I thought being an RA would alleviate so many frustrations and headaches. I went through two interviews — first at Siddall. I didn’t get the job. Then, I got a phone call from Jerrall Jackson in Calhoun Hall asking if I wanted to come in for an interview. I interviewed and, a few days later, he offered me the job. I spent two years as an RA in Calhoun Hall. In fact, I’m working on a book about my experiences there. The title: “There’s Poop in the Microwave.” And, yes, that really happened. And, yes, it smelled awful. Being an RA, aside from The News Record, was the best thing that happened during my collegiate career. But it was also the most stressful. I was charged with maintaining order on the ninth floor of the building. Order? No such thing when you’re the ringleader of a 65-person, all-female circus. Problems ranged from, “She didn’t ask before she borrowed my Sharpie,” to “She said she’s going to beat me until I don’t wake up.” No offense, girls, but on a regular basis I thought about throwing myself out of my ninthfloor window. Thank goodness for Aldawna Hammel, who was a resident on my floor both years. She was the keeper of my sanity. In two years as an RA, I experienced life at
its best, at its most unexpected and at its worst; I saw new life and had to react to unexpected death. After working at TNR for three years — as a reporter, news editor and editor-in-chief — I am ready, and yet, sad, to say goodbye. I’m moving on to bigger things in Lorain, Ohio, at The Morning Journal as a cops reporter. I’ll be reunited with an old friend Kareem Elgazzar, also a News Record alumnus. Along my journey, I’ve met a lot of fabulous people. I have a few of them to thank: Elissa Sonnenberg, thank you for seeing past my big hair and my big — sometimes obnoxious — personality as a first-year student to see potential and for stopping only short of grabbing me by the hand and dragging me to The News Record office. Who knows if I would have gotten there had you not pushed me so hard to do so. The entire journalism faculty, you guys are awesome. Thank you for answering countless questions, for advice and for always pushing me. Thank you for sometimes being extra hard on me — at the time I thought you were jerks, but I quickly came to realize it was only because you saw potential in me. Thank you for all of the awards I may or may not have deserved. Without your generosity, I would never have spent 10 weeks across the country and lived to tell about it.

“world-class” billing that UC is touting it to be. The construction didn’t stop there, however, as labs in Rieveschl Hall also received a facelift. All in all, it looks like the construction might end by the time the class of 2014 graduates. Faculty in flux Faculty came and went this year at UC. Valerie Hardcastle, dean of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences, was rumored to be leaving but remained. The College-Conservatory of Music received an interim dean. UC branch campuses Raymond Walters College and Clermont College found new deans. UC’s College of Business is hunting for a new dean and the university finally has four finalists vying to take over for retiring Provost Anthony Perzigian. Throw in negotiations with the UC’s American Association of University Professors faculty union and finding homes for displaced faculty from the Center for Access and Transition and you have a faculty situation at UC that seems large on turnover. How this will affect the university remains to be seen. Diversity Debates Diversity has been a buzzword on campus all year, but the university’s mission to increase
diversity took two major hits. Undergraduate Student Government haggled over a diversity outreach bill that would have required at-large senators to work five hours per quarter with minority student groups. The bill was not passed but revised bills proposing a student diversity collaborative are still in the works. Another blow was the closing of UC’s Center for Access and Transition. The center is being closed due to restructuring mandated by the Ohio Board of Regents, yet might cause minority student enrollment numbers to drop on Main Campus as access students are funneled to UC’s branch campuses. Best of UC UC students let their voices be heard when it came to voting on newsrecord.org for the best in 20 categories ranging from the Best Burger, Best Frat and Best Residence Hall. Voting showed that students love Adriatico’s New York Style Pizza, Penn Station, Ambar India Restaurant, Uncle Woody’s and Sigma Chi. Oh, and don’t forget Beelistic Tattoo and Chickfil-A, too. Overall, it was a pleasant reminder of the eclectic atmosphere and culture available around campus.

BLAKE HAWK SAYS:
American history classes sooner in my college career, you might have convinced me to switch my major to history. Thank you for opening to my eyes to a history I was regretfully unaware of. (Any students out there, if you get the opportunity to take one of her classes, do yourself a favor and take it.) UC administrators, some of you have been a pain in my butt, some of you have been great. To those who were a pain in my butt, thank you. You taught me to be persistent and to not be afraid to nag. I’m glad I’ll probably never deal with most of you ever again. But, just in case, I’m keeping your cell phone numbers close by. Alyssa, Melinda and Bri, no matter where in the world we are — me in Lorain, Melinda in Uganda, Alyssa spending her life in Cincinnati at pharmacy school and Bri, wherever the wind blows — you will always be three of the best friends I have ever had. I love you all. The residents and RAs of Calhoun Hall from Winter 2008 to Spring 2009, thank you for inspiring me, for pushing the limits of my patience and being some of the most amazing people I’ve met. I’ll let you know when the book is finished. Ariel Cheung and Gin A. Ando, knock ’em dead next year. I have no doubt that the two of you, at the helm of TNR, will continue to improve upon what we have done this year. Keep the momentum going. You are rock stars.
The News Record staff, each of you deserves a personal thank you, which I’ll handle on our own time, but, collectively, thank you for much needed daily comedic relief. Thank you for dealing with my sudden outrage and screaming, for edits so in depth you couldn’t read the page and for not always assuming I’m right. You’re not just an award-winning staff, you are my friends and a second family. Ghosts of News Record past, thank you for teaching me every single thing I know and for pushing me, pushing my writing and my editing. Without your example and hard work, TNR would be nowhere near where it is today. The entire UC community, thank you for reading The News Record every day. Thank you for telling us when we are wrong and for the rare praise when we get it right. Thank you for doing wonderful and stupid things for us to write about. I hope you have enjoyed what TNR has been able to do so far. If you’re graduating, I hope you’ll find no better source for your university news than newsrecord.org. If you’re still going to be around, I’m jealous you’ll get to see firsthand the changes and improvements next year’s staff makes. It’s been fun, Cincinnati, and I mean this in the most loving way, but I cannot wait to leave. Good news and goodbye. Love, Taylor

of courses that should be very transparent to students.” The conversion planning process has also been time consuming. “The work is detailed and somewhat tedious,” Mitro said. “In spite of these caveats, I am still confident that we will be able to meet the important deadlines and conversion will occur in 2012 as planned.” Students are also being encouraged to take advantage of the 2010 and 2011 summer from sg | page 1
budget will not rollover, and a concrete figure for SG’s budget could not be published due to interoffice questions, said Lane Hart, newly elected speaker of senate. Smith, however, said the laptop would be an investment. “This computer is not for Mark Rooney,” Smith said. “This computer is for the office of vice president.” The initial appropriations bill called for a Lenovo Thinkpad T-Series, which would have cost approximately $990 including shipping costs. Currently, Rooney does not have a laptop. Recently reelected at-large Sen. Shy Ruparel said the specifications of the laptop the bill originally calls for exceed requirements to run every day applications and programs. “I completely agree [Rooney] needs the computer,” Ruparel said. “I feel like for the office, for the Internet and for [Microsoft] Word, this is extravagant.” Some senators also wanted to delay the vote after receiving news that Rooney’s father

Phil Dinovo attempted to see if there was a possible way to get an accurate quote on the laptop after the discount before they voted. However, Wednesday’s meeting was SG’s last for the fiscal year. Dinovo did concede the laptop was a good deal, however. “Give me the link [to buy the laptop], I’ll buy it in a second,” Dinovo said. Sen. Joseph Ojo, was not convinced. “If I have enough money to buy a house on the ocean, I’m not going to buy a house on the ocean,” he said. “It’s outrageous.” Some senators attempted to assure SG members the laptop was for the good of the organization as a whole. “We shouldn’t tie Mark’s hands together and say ‘Go do your job,’ ” said Sen. Tim Janeck. “We’re setting him up for failure [if the bill doesn’t pass].” The bill ultimately passed by a 20-7 vote after Smith agreed to compromise for the lower price.

farewell column
WRITER’S
BLOC
JEREMY DAVIS
Politics played big part in column’s theme
Even though I feel like I’m just getting started, my time as a columnist for The News Record is wrapping up. I’ve reached the end of my five-year academic enema that is college and it’s time for me to move on. Deciding to join The News Record back in late 2008 was arguably one of the best decisions I’ve made in the past five years of my college life and it will undoubtedly be the part I’ll miss the most. Over the past two years, I have rambled and complained about everything from high tuition costs, textbooks, free speech zones and political parties to the recession, college loans, health care, wars and student activism. But before coming to TNR, I honestly didn’t know the first thing about writing a newspaper article, let alone did I ever expect that I’d end up writing my own weekly column. My only major regret is that I didn’t take the initiative to join TNR sooner. You might be surprised at how little actual brainpower it took to come up with the title of my column. I spent weeks racking my brain trying to come up with something unique and interesting, but couldn’t. I had writer’s block. Eh? See what I did? Clever, right? OK, sorry about that … moving on. Annoying column titles aside, my intent from the start has been to spread ideas and provoke conversation. I’ve previously spoken out against the university’s “free speech areas” because, as a direct benefactor of free speech in writing this, I feel they only deter students from being able to fully express themselves freely on campus if they so choose to do. This is meant to be an academic institution that harbors and fosters critical thinking and new ideas, not restrict students’ ability to further develop their beliefs. No matter how many words I could ever write, I don’t think I could ever stress enough the importance I see in promoting the ideas of liberty, free markets, limited government, constitutionalism and responsible government. Hopefully, I’ve been able to keep that theme present in all that I have written here. In a number of ways, I’ve tried to express my disdain for the corruption of the current two major political parties. I see both the Democratic and Republican parties as simply two factions within a much larger government party. They both share in their support for long-term, unconstitutional wars, spending us into a recession and disregarding the Constitution and our liberties, while expanding the government to a monstrous scope. To help correct these problems, I have commented on more than one occasion the importance of political activism in students and the increasingly important role we play in the political game. We are next in line to manage a country that has definitely seen better days, and we must work to change it in order to have the best possible future. Those already politically active should work to cure the apathy of their fellow students so the ideas of personal liberty spread from campus to campus. With any amount of luck, this has been something that I’ve helped with here. So now that I’ve spouted off for the last time, I would just like to thank everyone who has ever flipped through the pages of TNR and took the time to read the things that I wrote. I humbly appreciate it. I would also like to quickly thank each and every TNR editor that I’ve worked with during the last few years, whether it be on the pages of opinion, entertainment or news; you have played an integral part in helping me become a better writer than I was two years ago. All in all, I’ve enjoyed my time here and I am thankful TNR gave me the opportunity to rant about my political leanings each week. It will be sorely missed. And with that, it now seems that my writer’s block has finally been cured. Later.

Space exploration important for US james o’brien
The height of the Cold War reached past the thermosphere and into the cosmos as the United States and the Soviet Union battled wits and technologies to gain superiority of the stars. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, our nation’s space programs have struggled in spite of the vast and obvious benefits of exploration and research of the universe. With the boom of Silicon Valley’s wonderful gadgets we use to entertain ourselves and communicate with each other — though exciting and useful — we are still cutting ourselves short. America needs to look upward in wonder once again and realize that space exploration is very clearly in our best interest — and the time for action is running short. Recently President Barack Obama announced budget cuts for the NASA program that will
The level of interest in space among Americans is despairingly low in comparison to Americans in the late 1950s. Many young, capable individuals are discouraged from aspiring to be astronauts because it now is considered an impractical pursuit, but, in truth, the level of practicality in working with the American space program is phenomenal. Products like smoke detectors, water purification systems and insulin pump implants are simple examples of the ingenuity and prowess of NASA’s engineers. Even those who don’t actually spend a minute off the ground still lead in interesting and exciting fields, contributing to the overall effort toward space. Americans are finding themselves crippled by apathy, and with the prospect of even just contributing to an institution like NASA would give many the drive and direction necessary to unite our nation once again.

Editor-in-chief says final goodbye to UC Taylor dungjen
It’s always easier to say goodbye to someone who is leaving than to be the one to leave people behind. I am packing up and leaving the university I have called home for the past four years. I am leaving behind friends who have become family, and I’ll watch in my rearview mirror as the city of Cincinnati, which always seemed so grand, becomes smaller and smaller. After three years of blood, sweat and tears, I’m sitting in The News Record office, watching one of the most amazing staffs I’ve had the pleasure to work with pump out the last issue of the year, and I find myself becoming a little emotional. I spend at least 40 hours per week with the staff. They’re my best friends. They’re a second family. They gave me the best 22nd birthday I’ll ever have. We’ve spent hours upon hours in this office — sometimes more than 16 hours at a time, sometimes until
4 a.m. Why? Because we had a job to do — to deliver you, News Record readers, the news. (Just an FYI, professors, that’s why we’re late for classes and sometimes skip. True story.) I owe my TNR family many, many thanks, but I’ll save that for later. First, there are a few things I need to share. When I walked onto the University of Cincinnati’s campus for Bearcat Bound Orientation, my Summer Orientation Leader said UC wasn’t on the map and was still relatively unknown. When I met up with my dad later that day, I told him what she said. “She’s an idiot,” he said. Somehow, the housing staff persuaded me to join Hall Opening Team. I moved in one week early and didn’t have to pay for it. Bonus: Two of the three strangers I was going to share my Daniels quad with were also on HOT, as were some of my first college friends, some of whom I am still good friends with.
Later in Fall quarter, a new friend of mine, Ashley Kumar, and I decided to run for Daniels Hall Government — she was running as president, myself as vice president. We campaigned the snot out of our competition and won in what I like to imagine was a landslide. From the day each of my three first-year roommates — Alyssa Penick, Melinda Hershey and Briana Cohen — and I were all moved into Daniels Hall, Room 604, my life has never been the same. Every person who ever stepped foot into our dorm room was mandated to color a dinosaur from my coloring book — each one then went up on our wall until our last day. All of the pictures now rest undisturbed in a binder at my parents’ house. Melinda, Bri and I decided to live together again as sophomores, this time in University Park Apartments. Not that I didn’t love the idea of living with them, but I had sat through 10 agonizing weeks of Resident Adviser
classes and basically considered myself a shoo-in. When I didn’t get the job, I was pissed. Living in UPA was marginal — we were on the first floor in a corner room and suffered through flooding more than once, someone on the floor must have been smoking pot 24/7 and a nearby room was loud at all hours of the night. In February 2008, I was making my roommates — and Drew Smith, future student body president — homemade macaroni and cheese (which, for the record, is delicious), when I got an e-mail from the people in charge of housing. “Are you still interested in being an RA?” they wanted to know. My short answer: hell yes. At the time I was working full time at a jewelry story in Kenwood Towne Center, part time at American Eagle, writing for The News Record and taking classes as a full-time student. More often than not, I hated see GOODBYE | page 2
2009-10 Academic year full of ups, downs As the 2009-10 academic year comes to a close at the University of Cincinnati, it provides a time to reflect on the highs and lows experienced by the UC community in a year that is sure to be remembered. New president named Gregory Williams was named the 27th president in the 191- year history of UC. Williams assumed the post Nov. 1, 2009, leaving his position as president of City College of New York to come to the Queen City. Williams came on board at UC during a turbulent time and was immediately faced with issues of budget constraints, rising tuition, funding athletics, negotiations with the faculty union, finding a replacement for Provost Anthony Perzigian and promoting diversity. He did climb on board the “Proudly Cincinnati” campaign and has become one of its staunchest and most vocal supporters. Williams also added some flavor to UC’s issue of diversity with his memoir “Life on the Color Line: The True Story of a White Boy Who Discovered He Was Black.” No sooner than he appeared on campus, Williams’ book appeared

cease any manned space travel in the foreseeable future and essentially pulled the United States off the world’s stage in space travel. Obama has “committed” to his promise of a manned flight to Mars in 2030. The world’s coal supply is going to run dry. With the gulf oil disaster still unsolved, the resources and time necessary to execute this flight might not be an option by that time. To put it in perspective, if we were to concentrate our efforts toward something like an orbital satellite to collect solar energy, we would have a renewable source of energy, bound only to the successful upkeep of a simple space station. The moon’s surface is literally coated with hydrogen, which can be harvested and used as fuel. If a permanent lunar base were established, this option would become a reality in simple transition. Orbital colonies could alleviate the impact of overpopulation and other human effects to the earth.

Football team wins hearts The UC football team made itself a household name throughout the country with its high-octane offense and perfect 12-0 regular season, highlighted by a second consecutive Big East championship. The team offered fans a thrilling look at its talent with three NFL draft picks (Mardy Gilyard, Tony Pike and Ricardo Mathews) and its compassion (adopting Mitch Stone and promoting “Mitch’s Mission”). Despite its Sugar Bowl loss to the University of Florida, the Bearcats provided a season of lasting memories and quarterback Zach Collaros offered bright hope for continued success on the gridiron.

former UC coach Brian Kelly left it in pieces when he accepted the head coaching position at the University of Notre Dame Dec. 11, 2009. Kelly previously told UC players that he was staying in Cincinnati then decided to tell his players he was leaving right before the football team’s annual awards banquet — a call many felt to be in poor taste. Kelly immediately became an object of scorn in not only the UC community but also Cincinnati as a whole and remains so to this day. Bearcat fans eagerly await a date with the Fighting Irish on the football schedule in the near future to show the team’s spirit and talent by no means left with its former coach.

SOLUTIONS sean peters
Columnist reflects, looks ahead
This column, Slacker Solutions, was originally born from desperation. I was just starting as editor of the entertainment section here at The News Record. We were short on content — one of my reporters fell through on a story at the last minute and there was a gaping hole on my page. The main difference between a writer and an editor at this news organization is once a writer has successfully reported an event they’re off the proverbial hook in terms of what else is going in the paper. As an editor, I needed a story. Instead of hustling one of my reporters for a last minute article, I figured, at that point, there was nobody but my own self to rely upon. My slacker solution, it seems, is to work really hard at the last minute. Well, not really hard, but you get the idea. Since that first column (highlighting the many enjoyable ways students can avoid studying for their finals) I’ve consistently found myself on countless occasions saying, “That would be perfect for my blog!” As a columnist, I’ve felt right at home at The News Record. Working for this news organization has been beneficial in all regards. As entertainment editor, I’ve had so many opportunities I would have never thought possible. Having a platform to explore Cincinnati’s arts and music scene is invaluable. I doubt any self-respecting editor would have allowed me to write half of my stories without calling the cops. I know the section is in good hands with incomingentertainment editor Kelly Tucker. As a reporter she is on top of the game, letting nothing get in the way of completing a story. I know her determination will prevail and can take comfort in knowing my old page will get better and better under her watch. This is by no means my final column. It’s a shame to say goodbye to two of the finest columnists at The News Record, Peter Marx and Taylor Dungjen (happy birthday, muffin). It’s my duty to stay at The News Record and, as if some elaborate joke was being played, as senior reporter. Whoa. I’m fixing to graduate by this spring, which has made me realize The News Record will not be my home for much longer. As senior reporter, I’m excited to diversify my portfolio (never ever thought I’d say that in my life) by writing for more sections than solely the entertainment section. While editing, most of the content I’ve written myself has been focused primarily on things I encounter on a daily basis as a student here at the University of Cincinnati: Reggae music, zombies, Mega Man, marijuana … what more could a student journalist ask for? When I first got started at The News Record, I was terrified of writing for a large audience. These days, shame and self-consciousness are low on my list, thanks largely in part to you, our readers. Thanks, assholes, now I’m even more socially unacceptable. Think about this: I’ve been able to pay rent and fund some dubious habits thanks to The News Record. What’s the best job you’ve ever had? Before I started here, mine was as an ice cream scooper at Ben and Jerry’s. Nowadays, I can say with confidence that the best job I’ve ever held (and likely ever will hold, unless Playboy needs another photographer) has been with The News Record. Where else could a college student get paid to listen to music, play video games, watch movies and attend art showings? Please pardon the sappiness and sentimentality of this column. It’s not often I get to directly speak about my experience here at The News Record. Ariel Cheung, managing editor, has a few surprises in store for her next year. Let’s just say I wish nothing but the best to editor-inchief Gin A. Ando. I curse your heart. The News Record been my professional and social life for the last three years. Whoa. Life is good. Do you think Sean Peters is a complete fool? Are you grateful he will no longer be editing the entertainment section? Do you just generally dislike him? Get in line, pal.

DAAP professor’s comics a hit TAYLOR DUNGJEN the news record
Flags are everywhere in Carol Tyler’s Avondale home. Tibetan prayer flags hang over the front doors. Upstairs, a 48-star, World War II-era flag flutters over half of an open doorway. A California flag drapes across a coffee table and another is folded up between books and loose papers. There’s also the American flag in the front yard, flying proudly in the warm spring breeze. You might say Tyler is a proud American. You might even call her a patriot. She says she is a liberal hippie chick who supports American troops. Tyler, an adjunct professor in the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, who received her lowest test scores in history, is now, in her own right, a World War II expert. It all started in 1999 with an unexpected phone call from her father. “Hello?” she said into the receiver. “Rivers of blood,” her father, a World War II veteran, responded. Tyler grabbed a pencil, a notebook and started frantically taking notes. She had been waiting all of her life for her father to talk about his experiences at war, and now, finally, it was happening. Tyler’s father was serving the military as a plumber, but was “thrown [into battle] when they needed meat,” she says. The phone call and the frantic notes—which she still has, stapled together in a box somewhere —started one of the most intense projects Tyler, a graphic artist, has ever undertaken. She used the first conversation with her father, video tapes of his stories and years of research to write and illustrate the first of three graphic novels about her
father: “You’ll Never Know, Book I: A Good and Decent Man.” The book, which was published in 2009, has been nominated for two Eisner awards – the equivalent of an Oscar in the comics industry. “I’m very happy to be nominated and I’m very happy to be able to do this,” Tyler says. “But there’s not a chance in hell I’ll win.” This year, Tyler is up against top competitors, artists who work for big names and have expensive contracts, she says darting from one end of the room to another looking for original artwork, notes, pictures, the several boxes full of research she’s done. “My office is finally clean,” Tyler says laughing, digging through an old Office Depot box of paper to find the time line she put together for her first book—it’s six or seven pieces of paper taped together covered in multi-colored sticky notes outlining every page of her first book. Two weeks ago, she says the space looked more like a disaster zone rather than a studio, while she finished the last pages of “You’ll Never Know, Book II: Collateral Damage.” The second book debuts at Comic-Con in San Diego, California, July 22 to July 25. Now that she’s finished with the second book, her dozens of pens and brushes, the multitude of inks—in colors like denim, rust, blood and bricks—are finally able to rest. Sitting at her work station, Tyler picks up the red toy Corvette she bought at Kroger on New Year’s Eve. She spins it in the palm of her hand and sets it next to an army figurine and a miniature glittery high heel. They are her incentives to get work done, she says. “I had to finish 60 pages in four months,” Tyler said. “I bought the Corvette to remind me to go fast.”
Tyler and her father were not the closest while she grew up. In her book, she shows how the war affected his relationships and how it caused him to verbally abuse his family. Through the story-telling process, though, the two have grown closer. “I’m his army buddy now,” Tyler says. “I’m his unit.” Tyler took about two weeks to relax, catch up on “American Idol” and focus on her comics class, which just finished a project in which students created graphic representations based on the stories of local veterans. After Memorial Day, it’s back to the drawing board for the third, final book in the series “You’ll Never Know, Book III: Soldiers Heart.”

Unsatisfying “Sex”
Don’t get seduced. This film is a tease.
TAYLOR DUNGJEN the news record

lost in a desert of a plot These feisty fashionistas, after cultivating a hardcore following through their hit television series, were anything but entertaining in their latest film adventure.
Sitting through more than two hours of “Sex and the City 2” was like being buried alive with a tub of greasy popcorn or being stoned to death with expensive footwear. The smart and glamorous women of the “Sex and the City” television series and its first movie have been replaced by obnoxious, paranoid, lackluster hags with a flair for cultural insensitivity and misguided female empowerment. The only thing the sequel has in common with any part of the franchise is highend fashion and fabulous, albeit inappropriate footwear (five-inch strappy stilettos don’t generally translate well to the desert). Director and writer Michael Patrick King took out any realistic qualities the four characters had and replaced them with winning oneliners like “this bullshit economy” to make the audience not feel so miserable when the women are drowning in freebies and opulence. The entire movie is based around a free trip to Abu Dhabi and small incidents while the women are — as they keep reminding themselves — more than 6,000 miles away from home. Aside from the nanny drama — based on the idea the poor woman doesn’t wear a bra — Charlotte brings half way around the world, every conflict has an immediate resolution, keeping the movie from delving into any deeper issues. The movie is as shallow as many of the decadentobsessed characters. The best part of the entire film — aside from the rolling credits when it was finally over — is Liza Minnelli’s “Single Ladies” performance at Stanford (Willie
Garson) and Anthony’s (Mario Cantone) all-white wedding. Even that is a stretch. Characters seem to have stepped out of their comfort zone, while King wanted to forget the ghosts of “Sex and the City” past and go for something more “real.” Instead, what he got were characters that seem to have been replaced with cyborgs — which actually would have made for a way better movie. Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is, for the first time, the most likeable of the four women. Usually obnoxious, stressed out and bitchy, she is calm, cool and collected, even when Samantha (Kim Cattrall) was arrested. And, speaking of Samantha, who usually has so much poise and, as a publicist, is pretty good about being relatively appropriate, fails miserably at doing either. Instead, she is the biggest violator of cultural norms in Abu Dhabi. Whether she’s about to deep throat a hookah pipe or picking up condoms from her broken Birken and humping the air in front of a crowd of angry Muslim men, she is totally out of character, even for a woman going through menopause. Carrie, somewhat more like herself, can’t seem to figure out what she wants from love, only that she’s going to work in every bad pun and stupid joke she can wrap her Manolo Blahnik-obsessed brain around. Not only are the people so out of their natural element, the movie lacks the very essential features of the brand: sex and the city. A serious disappointment for any fan of the original. Anyone who says they enjoyed the film is lying, too devastated by the awkward interactions and plotless action. They’re too afraid to admit they have finally been oversexed.
Summer cinematic future looks bright robert kirchgassner the news record
Summertime is upon us and, for years, it has been the most profitable time for movie theaters. Film studios christened this season after the classic movie “Jaws” was released on June 20, 1975. It was Memorial Day that became the official start to the summer movie season following the release of “Star Wars” on May 25, 1977. The film’s writer and director, George Lucas, obviously thought the date was a good luck charm because he released the other five “Star Wars” films, as well as all four “Indiana Jones” films, around the same date. This past Memorial Day weekend saw the release of “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.” While the reviews have been less than stellar, the stage is now set for the rest of the summer film season. Here are some of the upcoming flicks, which hopefully prove as good as they sound.
“The Karate Kid” (June 11):
This remake of the 1984 film changes the setting and the circumstances in which the title character (Jaden Smith replacing Ralph Macchio) learns the wax on, wax off way of fighting. If anyone can come close to matching the late, great Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi, it’s Jackie Chan. So maybe this will be one for the good remake pile.
“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” (June 30):
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Dakota Fanning return in the series for more drama involving vampires, werewolves and teenage love. After their success in the previous two films, there’s no reason to suspect this will turn out any different.
“Jonah Hex” (June 18):
“Predators” (July 9):
“Get Him to the Greek”(June 4):
“Toy Story 3” (June 18):
“Salt” (July 23):
“The A-Team” (June 11):
“Knight and Day” (June 25):
“Piranha” (August 27):
Russell Brand reprises his role from “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (2008) as a rocker. A reporter (Jonah Hill) is trying to escort from England to LA for a comeback concert. If the trailer is any indication, gross-out comedy is sure to be among the ensuing hyjinx, which is fine as long as it’s not overdone.
Another film based on a classic TV show. This time, our heroes are veterans of Iraq, instead of Vietnam. CGI stunt work may be in abundance here, but the fact that the cast includes great actors like Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper gives me hope that this film may be as good as “The Fugitive” (1993).
Josh Brolin looks the part of a gunslinger who’s survived death in this adaptation of the original comic book. If this film succeeds, we can expect sequels.
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen reprise their roles of toys Woody and Buzz Lightyear, over a decade after “Toy Story 2” (1999). This time, they and their fellow toys must deal with their owner Andy going off to college. Not surprisingly, cinemagoers will have the option of seeing this in 3D, and, if it has the same high quality of its two predecessors, this could be the “Star Wars Trilogy” of animation.
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, who previously did “Vanilla Sky” (2001) together, in an action film sounds promising. If anything can restore his momentum as a box office draw, it should be this.
newsrecordent@gmail.com | 513.556.5913
This is, ironically, only the second sequel to “Predator” (1987), since the last two films involving the extraterrestrial hunters were team-ups with the creatures from “Alien” (1979). This could still be a fun time killer, even without Arnold.
Lara Croft proved that Angelina Jolie could pull off an action film. She plays a CIA agent falsely accused of being a Russian spy. Such a plot should make this memorable.
I don’t expect this to be as good as the original 1978 film, but its cast (starring Elisabeth Shue and Richard Dreyfuss) and the fact that this film will be in 3D may make this pleasant. It could, however, end up a noble failure like this year’s version of “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”
