“Ethan” returns, inspires art piece
Cincinnati indie rockers release third album

ladies and gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!
James Sprague | News Editor A stolen piece of the University of Cincinnati’s Fine Arts collection was returned last week, but not before its absence inspired one student. The sculpture “Ethan,” which was stolen in October from its location in the Great Staircase of UC’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, was returned anonymously last week with minor damages. A former DAAP student, Alan Marrero, modeled the sculpture after himself and installed it in 2005. The missing presence of “Ethan” spurred one DAAP student to take action — by posing as the sculpture for an hour and a half Thursday. “I was really upset about it being stolen,” said Mark Byron, a fifth-year fine arts student at DAAP. “There was a big void without it being there.” Byron wore similar clothing as the sculpture, didn’t shave for approximately three days and even acquired a Macbook Pro computer so he could resemble “Ethan.” Byron labeled his actions as a “performance art piece.” A student in the same installation art class that the sculpture was originally created in, Byron felt that his replacement of “Ethan” was the best way to express its importance to DAAP. “I wanted to pay homage to the piece,” Byron said.“The best way to do it was for me to get up there.” Anton Harfmann, DAAP associate dean, agreed with Byron’s assessment of the value of “Ethan.” “It was a wonderful temporary art installation that spoke to [the value of ‘Ethan’] as a DAAP icon,” Harfmann said. Byron attracted attention with his impersonation of the renowned piece. “His presence drew quite a crowd,” Harfmann said. “Many simply assuming he was ‘Ethan’ and others questioning if he was actually a real person,” Harfmann said. The original piece was damaged in the theft, however, and will not immediately go back in its place in DAAP due to repairs. “[‘Ethan’] will be returned to his perch in the next couple of weeks,” Harfmann said.
The Air Force ROTC Arnold Air Society helps cadets aid community
jason hoffman | staff reporter
The Kingsgate Marriot Conference Center hosted the annual awards banquet Saturday for the Arnold Air Society, an extracurricular group available for members of University of Cincinnati’s Air Force ROTC (AFROTC). The banquet had more than 170 attendees consisting of two Air Force generals, several lieutenant colonels, other active duty officers and cadets from 14
different universities in the Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois area. The Arnold Air Society, founded in 1947 at UC, is named after Henry Arnold, the only five-star general in the history of the Air Force. The society focuses are community service and leadership. Retired Brigadier General Richard Bundy, executive director of the Arnold Air Society, talked some of the society’s services. “It provides leadership and performance opportunities for

HELP US ALL The community work that the Arnold Air Society engages in is meant to teach Air Force cadets core values and principles.
the cadets and makes them more capable lieutenants when they are commissioned and go on active duty,” Bundy said. Matt LeSaint, a fourth-year civil-engineering cadet, explained membership and participation in the society are voluntary for cadets in the AFROTC. “It’s all about service to the community, and it’s a different side of the program that many people don’t normally see,” LeSaint said. The event’s guest speaker was Brigadier General Walter Givhan, commandant for the Air Force Institute of Technology at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, who recently served in Afghanistan. Givhan asked cadets to “epitomize [the Air Force’s] core value of service before self.” Givhan went on to discuss how participation in the society helps cadets face challenges they will encounter as they become the next generation of Air Force officers. He discussed how participation in society helps the cadets build a strong foundation of leadership for the future and praised cadets. “I salute [the cadets] for [their] efforts,” Givhan said. “Those are efforts that [cadets] will continue
in [their] careers. It’s part of [Air Force] culture.” Michael Dimuzio, a fourthyear cadet studying finance, said he appreciated the banquet. “The conclave was a great culminating point for all the cadets in our region who worked throughout the year to better themselves and the community,” Dimuzio said. The Arnold Air Society has a sister organization, Silver Wings, that provides many of the same developmental opportunities to students who are not necessarily going into military service. The organization promotes “more professional, disciplined and highly marketable young professionals entering the workforce,” Bundy said. The UC students in both the Arnold Air Society and Silver Wings participate in many charitable ventures in the community, including the “Don’t trash the ’Nati” drive to keep Cincinnati litter-free. Cadets recently conducted “Trick or Cans,” a drive to collect canned goods for the St. George Food Pantry in Clifton. They will be conducting their annual spaghetti dinner for homeless veterans at the Joseph House downtown during Christmas.

A slew of robberies Tuesday, Oct. 26 finished off a month of rising crime in the Clifton area. At approximately 6 p.m., Paul Houston, 27, of downtown Cincinnati, was walking at 3 E. Daniels St. when he was struck several times in the face and had his cell phone taken. No description of the suspect was revealed. Three hours and 36 minutes later, Matthew Miller, 20, a UC student at the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences, was allegedly robbed. Three suspects approached Miller on Euclid Street, pointed a silver pistol at him, demanded his property and told him to run away. The suspects took Miller’s keys, wallet, cell phone, backpack and gum. While Miller ran upstairs to his home, he

Student Government Sen. Shy Ruparel announced his sudden resignation was a response to him not being able to fully commit to Student Government. It was announced Wednesday that Shy Ruparel, an at-large senator in SG, was resigning his seat in the student senate. The resignation was effective immediately and no reason was given for Ruparel’s resignation at the meeting. The News Record was able to reach Ruparel for comment Friday regarding his resignation, which he said was for “personal issues.” “I couldn’t give 100 percent to Student Government anymore,” Ruparel said.
Despite vacating his seat, Ruparel said that he would still be active in many of the initiatives he helped to start at UC, such as the Student Diversity Board. Ruparel’s presence will be missed on SG, said Lane Hart, student senate speaker. “Shy Ruparel was one of our most dedicated at-large senators,” Hart said. “He took on projects that continue to benefit a wide constituency across the university.” The work ethic and dedication displayed by Ruparel during his time on SG allowed him to quickly progress, Hart said. Hart said he will also personally miss Ruparel. “I will miss his positive attitude and see ruparel | 4

Navigate through November November can be a depressing time on campus — Halloween is over, Thanksgiving break is an oasis that lies just out of reach and “No-Shave November” spawns a host of Zach Galifianakis lookalikes who only increase the appearance of disparity among a sea of wary faces. Any break from the books is welcome at this point, and there are plenty of events happening in the Cincinnati area to liven schedules until the long-awaited turkey day. 1. “Rosson Crow: Myth of the American Motorcycle” — Nov. 6, 2010 – April 3, 2011: Female painter Rosson Crow’s recent works will be on display at the Contemporary Arts Center for nearly five months alongside customized American motorcycles, delving into the world of bikers with modern artistic flair.
chip reeves | staff reporter Cincinnati is full of people with different backgrounds, ethnicities, religions, beliefs and — my personal favorite — foods. Finding those different food outlets can be difficult when it’s easier to simply walk to Five Guys or Potbelly. Sure, those places are delicious, but if you are in the mood for a bit of a foodventure, I’ve got a suggestion for anyone looking for some different food fare. Teranga, a Senegalese and West-African restaurant, located on Vine Street approximately 15 minutes from campus, is a tasty and interesting choice for those trying to eat something outside of the typical college food. While the restaurant is tucked in a small unassuming strip mall and offers little African flair inside, the food quality and price makes up for the restaurant’s lack of aesthetic appeal. Impatient diners should call ahead though, since each order I placed took more than 20 minutes to prepare. Upon my first visit, I ordered the grilled beef brochette. This menu item is essentially beef kabobs and can also be ordered
with chicken or shrimp. Couscous accompanied the beef, along with an out-of-this-world onion side dish and another onion side simply called onion sauce. The beef was cooked perfectly, not too chewy or dry, and paired with the couscous and onion sauce, made a sweet, spicy bite. The first onion dish consisted of diced onions, green peppers and some tomatoes steeped in various spices. This simple combination made everything else on the plate taste even better. A word to the wise: the onion sauce looks awful. It’s brown and gelatinous, sort of like a plate of slimy worms swimming in mud and sand, but its looks are entirely deceptive, so close your eyes and dive in. You won’t regret it. Another item sure to tickle any palate, even one that doesn’t enjoy more ethnic foods, is the dibi (roasted lamb). It’s fatty, juicy and downright terrific. I also got the plantains and attieke, which is similar to couscous but a little more dense and bitter. The plaintains were OK, although I prefer the ones from Island Fryday’s on Short Vine. They were still a good represenation of the dish. The

Teranga also offers more rustic choices for more adventurous eaters, like the stuffed lamb leg or the firire (fried tilapia). Now, fried fish doesn’t sound so out there, but it is served whole, and it doesn’t have an extreme amount of breading like a pub’s fish and chips might. If you don’t

HEAVENLY OR SINISTER? Pomegranates performed their trademark upbeat indie rock at MidPoint Music Festival 2009 after their second album release. Their latest CD, “One of Us,” maintains that sound with a darker, experimental spin.
Greek mythology dictates pomegranates are the fruit of the underworld. Hades kidnapped Persephone, holding her captive in his underworld palace. After a while, Persephone grew hungry and ate several pomegranate seeds, but, unbeknownst to her, eating fruit bore from the underworld condemned her to an eternity as Queen of Hades. Bummer, girl. There’s been a strong influx of pomegranate and pomegranate-related concoctions popping up in the past few years. Is this evidence of our planet sinking deeper and deeper into oblivion? Or have we all just learned to embrace this quirky and delicious fruit? Cincinnati’s indie darlings Pomegranates have made quite a name for themselves.Their new album released Oct. 26,“One Of Us,” is a welcome continuation of the sound they’ve honed over the past three and some years as a band, while (unintentionally?) embracing a darker overall persona and tone. This is not to say the band has gone to the dark side — oh no. Pomegranates’ music is ultra positive. Quick wits account for the melodies they produce on top of the rhythm section any indie band would swoon over. “Skull Cakin’” is a fast paced track, almost punk rock in its delivery. I’m tired of reading album
reviews that utilize the word “eclectic,” but Pomegranates have left me no choice. They’re just so diverse and open minded with their sound, it’s impossible to ignore the band. The title track sounds like an Animal Collective andTalking Heads collaboration. Something tells me these guys have an amazing record collection. When Persephone’s mother learned her daughter had been kidnapped and, even worse, had eaten pomegranate seeds, she went into a rage, shunning the harvest and creating wintertime for the period her daughter is confined to Hades. But remember, even though Persephone was obligated to reside in the underworld, she was the queen. Perhaps with three years on the road, performing and recording, Pomegranates have garnered a darker tone — with wisdom comes burden? As of now, I am unable to speculate. It is also possible they have partaken of their titular fruit, slowly abandoning the sunshine of pop music for the cold underground of experimental. Currently in the midst of a heavy tour, Pomegranates are keeping themselves very busy on the west coast. The next time they’re relatively close is Nov. 23, playing Cosmic Charlie’s in Lexington, Ky. “One Of Us” is available throughAfternoon Records at www.afternoonrecords.com.
“Due Date” delivers expected laughs Downey and Galifianakis team up, hilarity ensues nick grever | senior reporter
It would be appropriate to say, “If you liked ‘The Hangover,’ you’ll like ‘Due Date.’ ”After all, both films were directed by Todd Phillips. Both movies also share actor Zach Galifianakis and a ridiculous premise. Perhaps the most important similarity, however, is the fact that both films are absolutely, completely and totally hilarious. “Due Date”is a pretty straightforward buddy comedy. High-strung architect, Peter Highman (Robert Downey Jr.) is rushing home from a business meeting to witness the birth of his first child. At the airport, he runs into aspiring actor, Ethan Tremblay (Galifianakis). Bags are switched, the words “bomb” and “terrorist” are used on the plane, a hasty cross-country road trip is planned and insanity ensues. Like similar movies, the setup isn’t really important and neither is the ending. The true joy lies in the journey. And what a screwed up journey it is. As fans of “The Hangover” know, Galifianakis has a knack for riding the line between being outright disgusting and somehow lovable. Maybe it’s the big, bushy beard that makes him impervious to audience hatred. His counterpoint, Robert Downey Jr., plays up his role magnificently. Calling upon

BETTER BUCKLE UP Peter (Robert Downey Jr.) and Ethan (Zach Galifianakis) coast through a simple plot, filling any empty space with outrageous humor “The Hangover” fans will be able to appreciate. his criminally underrated comedic timing and delivery, RDJ keeps up with Galifianakis the entire movie. In fact, at times you almost feel bad for Ethan, due to Peter’s cutting remarks. But that feeling doesn’t often last because Galifianakis is sure to do something simultaneously disgusting and hilarious in a few minutes. It is this interplay, along with both main characters sharing hilarious moments,
NEWSRECORDENT@GMAIL.COM | 513.556.5913
that makes “Due Date” work so well. Ethan typically inflicts laughable pain on Peter. But Peter sends it right back, generally in the form of verbal barbs. Between the two characters, the jokes keep flowing throughout the entire film, only stopping long enough for the audience to shake their heads in disbelief. see date | 4

Several big names with memorable bit parts make up the rest of the cast. 1980s’ starlet Juliette Lewis shows up as a pot dealer, RZA of Wu Tang Clan fame is a baggage handler and Danny McBride is a handicapable war veteran. Jamie Foxx also plays Downey’s friend, who helps the pair by offering them a car and some money. Foxx’s character adds a little mystery to the plot, throwing a bit of a wrench into the typical proceedings. Nothing Earth-shattering, but it’s a welcome twist nonetheless.
Overall, “Due Date” is a movie that you already know if you want to see or not. If the previews made you laugh, you’ll enjoy the rest of the movie. If you thought “The Hangover” was overrated, then “Due Date” adds nothing to the formula to convince you otherwise. It’s a fast-paced movie with a plot that serves as a flimsy framework to string funny situation after funny situation together. Does it really matter, though, when you’re laughing the entire time?

was allegedly robbed at 230 William Howard Taft Road. A suspect pointed a black semiautomatic pistol at Anderson while the other two suspects took his property. Two and a half hours later, Jiang Wu Chao, a UC student at the College of Business, was walking on the corner of Martin Luther King Drive and Bishop Street when a blue car with four black occupants pulled up to him and asked for directions. One of the suspects pulled out a silver pistol and demanded his money. The suspects then drove off and Chao notified the University of Cincinnati Police Division.
compared to last year,” Dixon said. “Last year, we were more like individual players.” Gates has also noticed more teammates working to be team leaders, readying the team as the regular season approaches. “This season, instead of us looking for one leader, now we have three or four guys that are stepping up and helping out,” Gates said. “Whether it’s being positive all the time or helping with adjustments, you see more than one guy helping out.” Cronin said UC’s final exhibition will be crucial in boosting the Bearcats’ confidence levels for success this season, but doesn’t want his players to slack just because it’s preseason action. “We’ve made a ton of progress in the offseason because of our attitude and we can’t let that change,” Cronin said. “We can’t start thinking it’s going to be easy.” Cincinnati and IU Southeast tip off at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Fifth Third Arena.

“I thought West Virginia played well,” Sunahara said. “We just didn’t take care of the ball. We made too many mistakes.” Senior outside hitter Stephanie Niemer led the team, posting her 12th doubledouble of the season with a match-high 24 kills and 18 digs. Senior setter Annie Fesl recorded a season-high 58 assists in the match. After a close call in WestVirginia, Cincinnati hit the courts again Sunday in Pittsburgh, sweeping the Panthers in three sets. The Bearcats won 25-14, 25-16
and 25-20, posting 48 kills and a .352 hitting percentage. On defense, the Bearcats posted 46 digs and 10 blocks while holding the Panthers to a .18 hitting percentage. “I thought we really focused,” Sunahara said.“We had a much better match. I thought the girls responded well after a close call [against West Virginia]. We were a lot better against Pittsburgh.” Niemer added another double-double with 13 kills and 10 digs. The Bearcats return to action Friday at 7 p.m. to face Syracuse in New York.

Cincy hosts Grenadiers in preseason finale

HIGH-SCORING GUARDS Sean Kilpatrick and Dion Dixon combined to score 35 points in Cincinnati’s exhibition win against Carlton.
The Cincinnati men’s basketball team plays its preseason finale Tuesday at Fifth Third Arena when the Bearcats host the Grenadiers of Indiana University Southeast. The Bearcats won their first exhibition of the preseason Nov. 1 against Carleton University. Juniors Yancy Gates and Dion Dixon combined to score 42 points and redshirt freshman Sean Kilpatrick added 16 points off the bench. After Tuesday’s tune up, the Bearcats have six days before their regular-season opener against Mount St. Mary’s. “Our team attitude is great and our energy is great, but we still have a lot of work to do,” said head coach Mick Cronin. “We were able to get away with some things against Carleton that we probably wouldn’t have been able to get away with against some other teams.” However, Cronin is
satisfied with the corrections the team made during practice week in preparation for its upcoming game and 2010-11 season. “We pointed [our mistakes] out, went out to practice and guys immediately focused in on some of the things we needed to work on,” Cronin said. “They did a great job in practice.” The Bearcats will focus their defensive output on guard Jazzmarr Ferguson. The senior leads the Grenadiers, averaging more 36.5 points per game after a school-record 46 points in IU Southeast’s 114-75 win against Mid-Continent. Ferguson shoots better than 56 percent from the field and has made 14 of 21 three-point attempts through two games. Despite the graduation of Deonta Vaughn and early departure of Lance Stephenson — Cincinnati’s top-two scorers last season — the Bearcats are confident in their newfound camaraderie and veteran-laden bench. “We’re more of a team this year see finale | 4

Former editor relives Nippert experience
As I rode the elevator to the second floor of the John and Dorothy Hermanies Pressbox at Nippert Stadium, 62-year-old memories flooded my thoughts. The last time I stepped foot in the University of Cincinnati press box was Dec. 2, 1948. I remember walking up wooden steps into a small building consisting of three floors, home to reporters, scouts and coaches there to cover the Bearcats’ Thanksgiving Day classic against rival Miami University. Miami bested UC 43-19 in front of a sold-out crowd of 31,000. Upon my return to Nippert, a superior Syracuse squad downed the Bearcats 31-7. Amazingly, the margin of victory in both games was 24 points. Just as poignant, Nippert Stadium’s crowd was 32,072 against Syracuse, just 1,072 more than 62 years ago. In 1948, The News Record’s advertised items and prices were the following: men’s Douglas Shoes for $8.95 per pair, Arrow shirts $3.65 each, bottles of Coca-Cola for a nickel and the College Inn restaurant on Ludlow Avenue charged less than $1 for a full-course dinner. The university didn’t have the finances to support a press box manager in ’48, so Bill Golding — who worked for a local advertising agency — was hired to handle game-day duties. Before the game, Golding would distribute a program and several typewritten pages of names and statistics to all in attendance. Before the beginning of the second half, you might get statistics from the first. These days, stacks of game notes and statistics are readily available throughout the game. Hundreds of pages of team notes and statistics await writers before the game even begins. During play, up-to-the-minute statistics are available on computers, with hard copies delivered after each quarter. The current press box houses three floors and was built in 1991. The working press occupies 48 seats on the second level along with booths for home radio, corporate sponsors and visiting team officials. The next level is occupied by the UCATS and other organizations important to the university and the top floor is for football coaches, TV cameras, visiting radio, scoreboard operators and the public address system. Approximately 200 people occupy the press box during home games. The entire operation is run very capably by Ryan Koslen and the UC Sports Communications staff. Waiting for opening kickoff, I scanned the stadium. For years, the north end of Nippert Stadium housed the UC power plant and the athletic department’s bus. Not today. Since 2005, hundreds of fans occupy the north end. Other than that, the only other thing I remember different than now was the women’s gym still standing behind the north goal post. But a lot has changed in terms of pregame introductions. Not long after a skydiver landed on the 50-yard line, a three-wheeled motorcycle equipped with an American flag roared out of the tunnel, followed by head coach Butch Jones and the Bearcats as a battery of fireworks roared overhead and the crowd went wild. The kick-off immediately followed and Syracuse scored one minute into the second quarter, controlling most of the action until the game’s end. As I thanked my host Bob Cardosi and left Nippert Stadium, the wind blew, the leaves continued to fall and the only thing that really had changed was me. I was no longer a 23-year-old, but somehow had reached 85.

RECORD SETTING PACE Senior setter and captain Annie Fesl ranks second in Cincinnati history with 5,380 career assists.
Surviving its first of two conference road trips before the Big East tournament, the University of Cincinnati volleyball team returned home with a pair of weekend wins. The Lady Bearcats traveled east to face West Virginia Saturday and Pittsburgh Sunday, extending their winning streak to seven matches. “Any time we can win, it feels good,” said Cincinnati head coach Reed Sunahara. “I’m a little disappointed with how we played against West Virginia, but we came out with a victory. Any time you can come out with two victories on the road, it feels good.” While the victory against Pittsburgh came swiftly and decisively, the win against West Virginia did not. Cincinnati caught West Virginia in the midst of a five-match losing slump. But the Mountaineers surprised Cincinnati, forcing the Bearcats into a
five-set match for just the fourth time this season. In the first set, the Mountaineers snapped Cincinnati’s 15-set win streak, winning 25-23. Trailing the majority of the set, Cincinnati went on a 5-0 run to tie West Virginia at 23, but was unable to finish. The Bearcats bounced back in the second set, winning 25-15. The Mountaineers came out of intermission refueled, gaining a quick 12-5 lead in the third set. Cincinnati tied the set at 21, but lost 25-21. Trailing two sets to one, the Bearcats responded with their best set of the match, outhitting West Virginia .443 to .027 en route to a 25-10 win to force a fifth set. Riding momentum from their crucial fourth-set win, the Bearcats rolled to a 15-10 victory in the final set to narrowly take the match. see survive | 4
Exhibition excitement: UC tops NKU in OT Duane McDonald | Staff reporter Cincinnati senior guard Shareese Ulis netted 16 points — nine in the second half — to help the Bearcats to a 57-55 overtime victory against Northern Kentucky University Saturday at Fifth Third Arena. The game was Cincinnati’s lone exhibition before regular-season play begins Friday. “[Northern Kentucky] is a really good team,” said head coach Jamelle Elliott. “They’re like a higher mid-major basketball team. We fought hard at the end. We could have easily rolled over and died, and we played with two freshmen on the floor almost every time down.” Among the freshmen who received ample playing time was guard Kayla Cook. The rookie scored 13 points in 40 minutes of play and scored the final two free throws in overtime to seal Cincinnati’s win. “During the first four minutes [of the game], I was really anxious, but after the first media timeout, I adapted to everything,” Cook said. Also making her collegiate debut, Cincinnati freshman forward Jeanise Randolph contributed five points and five rebounds. “These guys are getting thrown into the fire really quickly — I just hope they continue to have a good learning curve because we’re going
to need them,” Elliott said. The back-and-forth game featured nine lead changes, with the biggest lead reaching no more than six points for either side. The Bearcats trailed Northern Kentucky 14-8 early in the first half, but the Bearcats rallied to tie the game at 25 entering halftime. “We knew they were going to come in and play hard and run their offense the best they could,” Ulis said. “We just wanted to play hard for 40 minutes. It’s a building process and it takes time, so we‘re just using today to get better tomorrow.” Despite the victory, the Bearcats were out-rebounded by the Norse 47-38. “Coming in, we know we were undersized,” Ulis said. “We know that when shots go up, we need to get a body on somebody and tonight we didn’t do that as often as we should. But that’s an adjustment we have to make.” The Bearcats not only need to improve their rebounding, but defense as well, Elliott said. “Defensively, there’s a lot of things we need to work on,” Elliott said. “Our post defense needs to get better because we’re so small. They really exposed us in the post today, and they were really looking to get the ball inside, and it almost cost us.” The Bearcats begin regular-season play at 11 a.m. Friday against Southwest Baptist at Fifth Third Arena.
