It will be closing its doors in June, but the University of Cincinnati’s Center for Access and Transition showed it would go out with style at its year-end awards ceremony.
“A Celebration of Success,” was hosted in French Hall Wednesday, May 26, commemorating both CAT students and faculty performance throughout the year.
Many current and former CAT students and faculty were in attendance, and awards were presented to distinguished CAT students.
Despite the imminent closure of the center, the atmosphere of the awards ceremony was a light and happy one, while a jazz band performed and appetizers were served.
UC President Greg Williams briefly attended the event, greeting students and faculty from CAT before leaving for a meeting off campus.
Williams would not comment on CAT’s closure.“I’m here for the CAT students,” Williams said. UC Provost Anthony Perzigian was the featured speaker
for the event and praised the students and their efforts.“We’re here to celebrate the contributions of the students,”
Perzigian said. “It’s truly a reflection of the ambition of our students.”
Perzigian also gave a nod to the CAT faculty for their performance.
“[CAT faculty] showed an unswerving dedication to what’s best for our students,” Perzigian said.

University of Cincinnati students were given a glimpse into provost candidate Steve Dorman’s plan for the school Wednesday, May 26.
Dorman, a North Carolina native, currently serves as dean of the College of Health and Human Performance at the University of Florida, had a seat with more than a dozen UC undergraduates and answered questions about his candidacy and what things he’d do if he was chosen as the next provost.
He expressed a strong need to continue co-ops, help interuniversity relationships flourish and become one premier research institution.
“The problems of our society today are very complex,” Dorman said. “Some of the most valuable experiences [for students] are outside the classroom.”
The University of Tennessee graduate said UC is poised to move forward to become the “premier research institution.”
Students on the panel stressed worry about keeping the university working cohesively as more of UC’s colleges merge.
Dorman, who also served as chairman of Texas A&M University’s Health and Kinesiology department, said communication was one of the most important things within a school.

University of Cincinnati students often only see special police units in the movies, but Cincinnati Police and the UC Police Division gave them the opportunity to experience the real thing.
A joint UCPD/CPD special services demonstration was hosted on McMicken Commons Wednesday, May 26, showcasing the departments’ special units, its equipment and its purpose.
CPD had its Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit on display, in addition to its canine, mounted horseback, motorcycle and crash response teams.
UCPD also brought out its bomb robot and Segway for students to see.
The event afforded students an opportunity to see police in a different perspective, said Devin Coulter, a fourth-year criminal justice student and president of the UC Criminal Justice Society.
“[The demonstration] gives a positive example of the police,” Coulter said. “It shows they can be approached as real people.”
The attitude of the students was also unexpected, Coulter said.
“The police are surprised,” Coulter said. “Students are actually asking questions and looking around at the equipment.”
The demonstration provided students to also see what aspects there are concerning police work, Coulter said.
Students were able to
take part in activities like donning SWAT gear, using a radar gun in a police vehicle, reconstructing an accident scene and even being placed in handcuffs.
“I’m enjoying it,” said Jack Addison, a first-year criminal justice student who attended the event. “It gives me an insight on what I want to do in criminal justice.”
The event raised a lot of interest in the criminal justice field, said Cpt. Dan Gerard, commander of CPD’s special services section, which includes the SWAT, canine and mounted patrol units.
“A lot of students have asked about jobs in law enforcement,” Gerard said. “They’ve also asked about the best things to major in for law enforcement.”
One of the canine officers, a German shepherd named Recon, showed up late for the demonstration due to an incident call, Gerard said.
“He was on a case concerning an armed robber,” Gerard said.
Most people have a misconception about the police not being friendly, but they enjoy taking the time to talk to students and demonstrate equipment, said Sue Bourke, a criminal justice professor at UC.
“CPD is just an amazing police department,” Bourke said, regarding their work.
A lot of CPD officers are enrolled in UC degree programs, Bourke said.
“Chief Streicher has recommended that every officer at least get their bachelor’s degree to assist with promotions,” Bourke said.

The University of Cincinnati’s Undergraduate Student Government began preparing for a powershift Wednesday, May 26.
Although student body Vice President Mark Rooney is currently in Europe as an international student, SG’s administration was looking to keep the momentum going.
President Drew Smith announced the decision of UC’s Student Advisory Committee (SACUB) to award the body thousands of dollars in addition to its allotted budget.
The platform Smith and Rooney ran on, which stressed “stronger connections” and “stronger futures,” requires money to make good on the campaign’s promises, Smith said.
SG’s involvement in the First Year Experience, for example, will be able to improve with the extra money. In all, Student Government will have approximately $60,000 to operate on for the next year, Smith said.
The Smith Administration also uses its internal budget for its town-hall style meetings. Retreats and other functions SG hosts are also funded by its budget.
The body’s cabinet also saw some changes, with the introduction of several new positions ranging from the associate vice president of campus relations to a director of disability services.
Ryan Atkins, one of five Pi Kappa Alpha honorary members involved in the car accident in Kentucky last November, said there are some things that could be done to make UC’s campus more accessible for those with disabilities.

The Commandos have more than two weeks to recover from lingering injuries before the Continental Indoor Football League playoffs begin Friday, June 18.
“It’s good for us because of Ben’s ankle and [Goodman] hurt his shoulder a little bit Saturday,” Back said.
The time off will also give the Commandos time to reflect on their first loss of the season — a loss Back said upset his players.
“Our guys are pissed,” Back said. “They wanted that undefeated record. They know there was nothing they could do about it, but they’re upset. Everybody in the league was talking that we’re a beatable team.”
The Commandos and Wolfpack could meet for a third time this season in the CIFL championship game should both teams win their first-round playoff games.
“Wisconsin thinks we’re not that good now. They ran their mouths after the game, but I’m looking forward to playing
them in the championship game,” Back said. “They’ll have a false sense of hope when they come back to the [Cincinnati] Gardens. They’ve forgotten that the playoffs run through the Gardens for a reason.”
Mauk and the Commandos’ up-tempo offense was one of the reasons for Cincinnati’s nine-game win streak and Back expects a full, healthy squad to power past playoff opponents.
“We’re just looking to beat every team’s ass by 70-plus points and just not let off the gas pedal one bit. Our goal is going to be to embarrass people in the playoffs,” Back said. “It’s playoff time, we’re not making any friends, it’s time to break hearts and embarrass people and show people what Cincinnati football is all about.”
The franchise’s first playoff game will kick off at 8 p.m., Friday, June 18, at the Cincinnati Gardens against the Miami Valley Silverbacks.
A 4.25 staff earned run average — third best in the conference — helped UC land the seven seed and a date with the University of Connecticut — the nation’s No. 18 team.
“I thought our pitching staff did a really good job for us and was the reason we were in the game every day,” Cleary said.
Getting to the tournament wasn’t easy, as the Cats had to win four-straight games to end the regular season, including a 3-1 win over No. 22 Pittsburgh.
The win was credited to freshman standout pitcher Andrew Strenge, who pitched eight innings against the Panthers, allowing one run.
Then, in the ninth inning, closer Andrew Burkett entered the game and recorded his 13th save of the season, which moved
him to first place on the all-time single-season saves list at UC.
The save also came less than two weeks after Burkett’s brother Josh was killed in a car accident.
Burkett finished his senior season with 14 saves.
For Strenge, the win pushed the freshman’s record to 6-1. He would finish the season 7-1 with a 1.93 ERA in 46.2 innings.
Even with strong numbers, Cleary says next year, teams will have a better idea of Strenge’s game and additional success might not come as easily.
“You have to prove yourself all over again every year, but certainly he should be able to come back with some confidence,” Cleary said. “We’ll look to him to cover some innings for us.”
Cincinnati’s season ended abruptly
when the Cats were bounced from the double-elimination conference tournament after the first two games they played.
Strenge pitched game one against UConn and left in the sixth inning with a 6-3 lead. UConn went on to score five runs during the next three innings to beat the Cats 9-6 and send UC into an elimination game against Pittsburgh.
Despite hitting three home runs, Cincinnati lost to Pitt 13-4 to bring the 2010 season to a close with a 29-29 overall record.
The season had its high points, including winning the Joe Nuxhall Classic with back-to-back wins over Wright State and Miami (OH). UC also beat the No. 13 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in the second weekend series of the season with a 12-4 win in St. Petersburg, Florida.
individuals control, but they need to be supported and protected from the “individual” interests of corporations and local governments. There is a place to care for the poorest, but there needs to be recognition that poverty is a consequence of the excess of others, that social supports go only so far, that the best way to care is to care — not to allocate, fund or designate.
Until there is a movement in America that looks the poor and the rich in the eye and says, unequivocally, that survival of the fittest means a house divided against itself will fall and thus America requires the health and wealth of experience of all
her members. Until America resigns from bullying foreign countries and instead begins to offer constructive, value-neutral services like logistic support, neutral advice, engineering and community-driven development, it will find people asking it to leave. Until America comes home and realizes what it has become, it can’t go out and make the world better.
Until America realizes the taxes coming in are an empty welfare check, not the enthusiastic donations of devotees of the cause, she will never fix herself. Until America sees that the land of the free isn’t free, that the home of the brave is behaving as a reactionary, using terror to fight terror, she will never
have an intervention with herself, never discover what it is she lost. And until she discovers the truth of the honor and idealism she lost, she will never change herself to get it back. America still has the potential to be great, but only as e pluribus unum: one from many. And the many must lead the one, not only through representatives who govern for until far past retirement age, but also by each and every individual’s dedication to changing, informing, guiding and improving this “dirty rotten system” until it is beautiful compost laid to support the best harvest in living memory: peace, justice, equality; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

decision to the student courts, but because the College of Law students who run the hearings are out for the summer, appeals cannot be heard until fall, after the funding freeze has begun.
The decision to charge for game tickets was made by the members of Sigma Sigma, Pontsler said.
Free games were advertised on the carnival’s Facebook page and, according to members of UFB, Sigma Sigma told the board it would not charge for tickets. Pontsler said he made no such statement, but only that student groups would not have to pay to use booths.
The funding board cannot
take direct punitive action against Sigma Sigma because it is not a group eligible to directly receive funding, Huff said. The student groups that receive funding have to meet certain specifications, such as open membership. Sigma Sigma, as an honorary, is selective in deciding who can join the group, making them ineligible for funding. Sanctions placed on the three groups also say that they cannot fund the annual Sigma Sigma Carnival next year.
The entire 2010 carnival costs approximately $25,000, Pontsler said.
home,” said James Caine, an Airman 1st Class with the 557th. “I really appreciate when people such as yourselves take time out of your life and think of us.”
One package sent by Tamborski, to U.S. Army Sergeant Anthony Magee, didn’t reach him in time, however.
Magee, a soldier in the 2nd Battalion, 69th Armor Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division from Fort Benning, Georgia, died April 27 of wounds received when enemy forces attacked his unit at Contingency Operating Base Kalsu near Iskandariyah, Iraq.
Tamborski and her group learned of Magee’s death two days after sending his care package.
“We were shocked and really sad,” Tamborski said.
Tamborski will not be a resident adviser in Calhoun Hall next year, but she is hoping another student steps up and takes over sending the packages.

“It’s still not very significant [improvement],” Erhardt said. Some experts suggest finding “pockets of opportunity.”
Jeffery D. Rice, a career management expert at The Ohio State University, told the New York Times that job seekers should look at where federal stimulus money is going to improve job prospects.
Rice referred to the health care and energy sectors as promising.
Erhardt has mixed thoughts on the idea.“Green jobs are self-sustainable, but I know some
families might be discouraged from becoming doctors due to the health care package,” Erhardt said.

At this year’s London Fashion Week, designer Alice Temperley publicized the organization by designing a shirt that raises awareness of cotton-picking injustices and included it as a piece in her runway collection.
The EJF has uncovered injustice in 16 cotton-producing countries thus far, including Brazil, Vietnam, Mali, Sierra Leone, Uzbekistan, Mauritius and Indonesia.
Many grocery shoppers consider where their food has come from before they purchase; the EJF believes that clothing deserves the same consideration. All clothing items have their own histories, and often times they are unpleasant.
The past has been dark, but the future can change with the help of dedicated supporters who are willing to fight for justice. The EJF and its supporters hope to help the cotton industry emerge from its black hole and keep the future of “white gold” bright and promising.
“One would hope this massive industry would improve the lives of the local people,” Ricketts said.
“Unfortunately, this is not the case and several issues need to be addressed.”
Ricketts aspires to work in behavioral design, materials development and help third-world countries after graduation and the trip have passed.
In her time at UC, Ricketts has been a Cincinnatus Scholar, made Dean’s List every quarter and received DAAP’s Golden Brush award for excellence in fashion illustration.
She can often be found taking walks around Clifton and enjoying the outdoors, or painting and drawing at home. Upon graduation, Ricketts will miss her professors as well as “the collaborative community” that UC offers.
“Please help me raise awareness of this organization so they may continue to do what they do best,” Ricketts said.
She hopes all those who hear about the cause put forth an effort to donate and spread the word to end global environmental injustice in every way possible.

www.newsrecord.org opinion
Today is an important day. For one, it is my birthday (Happy birthday to me.). In addition to that, however, what you’re reading right now is the last Fashion Dungjen column … ever.
(Insert sigh of relief here.)For the most part, I have
loved writing this column. I will admit, though, that after writing a fashion column once a week for three academic years, it gets kind of tough to drum up ideas or not tell the same stories more than once (I’m pretty bad at doing that anyway.).
Nick Grever, former News Record opinion and entertainment editor, gave me the opportunity to try my hand at column writing in November 2007. He was losing a columnist and needed a replacement. I raised my hand and said, “Well, I’ll write a fashion column. It will be fabulous.” Hook, line and sinker.
The quest for the perfect column title was agonizing. I enlisted every friend I had to help come up with an awesome title. Nothing sounded right and I had almost given up hope; my first column was called “The Rag,” which I hated. As a few friends and I were parting ways to go to class, Stacey Litam called over her shoulder, “What about The Fashion Dungjen?”
Thus, the column was born. To commemorate, I thought we’d relive some of my favorites.
“UGG boots, CROCS an ugly fashion choice”
My first column was an UGG boot-, CROC-bashing festival. I never would have imagined so many people would be upset because I think their boots make their legs look like fat stubby sausages and their CROCS are better left for their 80-year-old grandmother who likes to garden. For a long time, if you did a Google search on my name, the first result would read “HATER ALERT: Taylor Dungjen of The News Record” from a New York-based blog dedicated to UGG news and celebrities spotted wearing said boots. I felt pretty big time.
“Leggings without pants are a painful sight to behold”
Every week I ask Managing Editor Ariel Cheung to hook me up with statistics from newsrecord.org, including the most-read stories of the week. Since she started keep stats seven weeks ago, this column, which is three years old, has been on the list every single time. Although it seems people still haven’t taken the hint, I will maintain, until death, that leggings are not pants.
“Nick Grever wears funny pants, shoes”
Remember Nick Grever from about four paragraphs ago? Last year, Nick was literally, and figuratively, asking me to write a column about his style. In honor of his tight pants, chains and skeleton T-shirts, I did just that. The result? A column people still ask him about. (But, hey, at least it’s not the No. 1 Google result if you search “Nick Grever” anymore.)
“Editor gives fashion send off to Zimpher”
For anyone who isn’t a first-year student, you should remember Nancy Zimpher. Yeah, she’s the lady who fired Bob Huggins (boo hoo), but, most importantly, she was the University of Cincinnati’s president for five years and she had some super fierce footwear. I knew I loved Nancy when I saw her at a Board of Trustees meeting, and, at 8 a.m., she was rocking a pair of four-inch black sequin pumps. When she left UC, I was devastated, and had to bid her, and her shoes, farewell. I knew there was no way the next president would have such fabulous shoes — or tights. And while President Greg Williams could undoubtedly afford any shoes — or tights — he wants on his $410,000 salary, something tells me I won’t find any black sequin pumps in his closet. (Although, I might like him more if I did.)
I could literally go on forever about every column I wrote and why I love it so much. I could tell you about the creeps and weirdoes who sent inappropriate e-mails or asked me on dates because of a column I wrote. (I never accepted a single offer.) Instead, since I’m already way over my word count, I’ll thank the people who made my three-year adventure so worth it.
My beloved readers, thank you. Thank you for every encouraging e-mail, for every time you picked up the paper

FASHIONTHE Generation Me needs more activism
kyle galindez
In my final years of high school, I had high expectations for college. I thought I’d be surrounded by students interested in intellectual pursuits.
I thought campuses were swarming with activists passionate about changing the world. I thought I’d find student solidarity.
And now that I’m approaching the end of my third year, it has become clear that college isn’t what it used to be.
A recent study by the University of Michigan can perhaps elucidate the issue.
Today’s students are more narcissistic, more competitive, more individualistic and more self-centered, according to the University of Michigan research. Additionally, we are 40 percent less empathetic than our 1970s counterparts and we do not attempt to understand
others’ perspectives. Finally, we are not as likely to care for the less fortunate.
Fellow students, our generation has been dubbed by many as “Generation Me.”
Beyond the obvious apathy most students exude toward education, one finds that today’s students are even less concerned about issues that college students have traditionally cared about.
Take the anti-war movement, for example. Afghanistan, now officially the longest war in United States history, has received little opposition on campuses in recent years. The largest oil spill in United States history occurred — and is still occurring — completely on our watch. We still have not won gay marriage rights, we’re drowning in debt, Arizona recently passed a racist immigration law that has been nicknamed “Juan Crow” laws by many and Israeli warships just violently attacked a peaceful humanitarian ship attempting to bring
aid to the apartheid-inflicted victims of Palestine — all funded by the U.S. taxpayer. Where is the outrage?
Thankfully, our campus is not completely silent. There are some very dedicated students here. But I can’t help but notice that activism remains exclusive to a minority on campus — those “crazy activist” students.
At the end of the day, we need to ask ourselves: Are we in college just to get a better job? Do we learn new theories, ideas and skills just so we can enslave ourselves to Proctor & Gamble for the rest of our lives?
Or is college about something more than money and career advancement?
The choice is ours. When the cameras of history turn their lenses to our generation, when future people look back on us, what do you want them to see?

In the ’60s, a man named Thomas Merton wrote, “We know, of course, that other countries are consumed with jealousy but ought we, perhaps, to ask ourselves if they have something? They tell us, ‘Yankee go home.’ And we would gladly go: but somehow when we get back, we find we don’t have a home any more. We have fallen into history like everybody else, we are involved, without repair, in the fantastic problems of everybody and we are a part of their accursed history…There is a great depth of cruelty in that taunt ‘Yankee go home.’ ”
America can’t just go home, because she will never be inculpable as she once was. Perhaps the secret of the “greatest generation” was that it existed before the power of the nation was fully understood, and thus, each participant stood for his or her own reputation. Whatever the reason, America has come to a place where the people do not believe in the government, the government does not seem to resemble or helpfully serve the people and the actions overseas conflict with domestic desires.
America is a two-party system with a great deal of involvement abroad. The conservatives go to protect interests like oil prices, investments, business contracts and democracy while the liberals paint their reasons in broader terms of peace, justice, equality and have relationships to maintain and culture to protect. Both have led America to a state of undeclared war in countries that largely do not desire our interference. Merton wrote recognizing that America, like the good guys in any cartoon, has never lost. Unfortunately that coincidence does not indicate a correlation. Merton wrote to say that Americans try to go home to the Garden of Eden — a blameless place — and discover that instead it has indeed done things worthy of blame. America has slaughtered innocents in Vietnam, in Japan, in Iraq and Afghanistan (remember the post-9/11 firestorm). America has taught and supplied terrorists in Afghanistan and Latin America, in the Cold War and today. America has learned to torture and defend this practice, despite the obvious logical fallacy that a victim of torture will give an answer deeper than whatever will end the pain.
Conservatives at home seek to stabilize the
world in individual interests. What is good for one must eventually be good for all: saving costs and minimizing services allow each person more money, more leeway, more resources to follow their own desires. The party relies on strong boundaries, like the death penalty and an aggressive foreign policy, are required to facilitate the expression of the American whim.
Liberals instead look to those who are most in need, those who are struggling at the edges. They devise Social Security, Medicare, welfare. They assume that a safety net benefits all by keeping the poorest of the poor afloat, supporting those who would otherwise be forced to crime or death without sufficient voluntary charity. This leads to policies abroad that aid others — militarily — in the extension of our values and practices, despite locals who stand to say “Yankee go home.”
A third view must develop. There needs to be a party or a person who can stand and acknowledge that there is a balance. There is a place to be involved abroad but, to be truly democratic, the people must develop according to their own beliefs and needs. There is a place to allow individuals
America needs strong third party voice for balance

A&S laptop requirement absurd, unjustifiedjocelyn gibson
One would hope that a new university initiative affecting thousands of incoming students would be to the benefit of the students, but this does not appear to be so in the case of the University of Cincinnati’s new laptop requirement for incoming freshmen in the college of Arts and Sciences effective this fall.
A previous study of UC students asserted that 95 percent of students possess a computer, and 85 percent of students have a laptop. Given these figures, it is evident that the laptop requirement would change little, especially since there will really be no means of enforcement in place to monitor student compliance.
UC’s A&S computer labs are indispensible, given that not all students currently have the financial means to purchase a laptop. Indispensible is not an attractive adjective to an institution engaged in significant budget and expense-cutting efforts.
It seems intuitive that costs incurred for computer maintenance and upgrades for labs that are not frequently applied would be better used elsewhere. However, the assessment of lab usage will not be the approach to lab decommissioning.
Specialized labs, such as those used for statistics classes, will be maintained given that these “computer classrooms” are vital tools for the teaching of specialized programs. Cuts will be focused on general use computer labs.
What does that mean for students? While on campus, your laptop will generally need to be with you. Carrying computers routinely will mean more computer theft and maintenance needs, with the only insurance coming in the form of a three- or four-year warranty (and the costs associated with the extension of the normal warranty, again, put on students).
If most students already have a computer, and those who do not can choose from a multitude of computer labs, what is the point of making laptops a requirement?
One argument made in favor of laptops: “technology is the way of the future.” However, the use of computers in class is up to the discretion of the teacher. Aside from specialized computer classrooms, will the use of laptops in the classroom enhance the ability of a teacher to reach students?
I am not an educator, so I will not presume to know the appropriate teaching methods for students in the 21st century. I can only speak of the heaps of laptop-wielding students I’ve seen Facebooking, Tweeting and instant messaging in classes. Although I’m guilty of the occasional lengthy Facebook session, given how much we pay for our seats, frequenting social networking sites is better left for home.
Students in the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning have been required to have laptops for some time, which has given justification for transferring this concept to A&S.
However, most DAAP students require specialized graphics software for almost all projects. Learning these complex programs is part of the teaching goal and laptops are vital within the classroom. This is not the case in A&S, where many teachers will not want them present.
It is a means to transfer the cost of computer labs onto students — an excuse to shut them down. If some computer labs are sitting empty, that is a justifiable reason to close them.
Students should be allowed a choice in this matter. If some programs are imperative, it should be noted that acquiring contracts for specialized programs and installing them on baseline computers will be problematic, thereby redirecting students to labs anyway.
Our generation is increasingly adept at utilizing technology, whether there is a laptop at your fingertips, or whether the machine is waiting for you in a lab.

In the fashion world, cotton is one of the most durable fabrics. Some call it “white gold” due to how much it is used and how profitable it has become; but others know the dark side of cotton.
Child labor, pesticides, excessive use of water and lack of compensation for workers are just a few of the controversies surrounding the cotton industry.
The Environmental Justice Foundation, a London-based charity, was established to empower those who suffer most from environmental abuses, focusing greatly on injustices in the cotton industry.
Liz Ricketts, a fifth-year fashion design student at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning, found EJF’s website via Google. The Goodrich, Michigan native was drawn to the issues addressed by the EJF because it combined a love of fashion with a deep concern for the environment.
The EJF investigates by equipping organizations with the tools to document their hardships. Once the problems have been discovered within the organizations, the EJF seeks ways to help end their internal struggles while broadening the knowledge of those outside the industry.
Established in 2000, the EJF has spent the past 10 years gaining global visibility and becoming an advocate for local and global changes in peaceful ways. The organization has produced six documentaries and a series of training manuals for grassroots activists.
The EJF sponsors The Great Fashion Cycle, a 300-mile biking adventure from London to Paris, to raise awareness of human and environmental rights violations within the fashion industry. This year’s trip takes place from July 14 to 18.
London and Paris are two of the world’s fashion capitals and the EJF hopes to truly make an impact in these influential cities. The trip concludes with a celebratory meal at the Eiffel Tower.
“Fashion is just one way of making our world more beautiful and that is my mission,” Ricketts said. “If I don’t hold myself accountable for the environmental concerns linked to my creative efforts, I will never be able to accomplish such a goal.”
When she found out about The Great Fashion Cycle, Ricketts e-mailed the EJF with a plea to join their cause, despite being past the registration date. She was accepted and began raising awareness by starting a fundraising website, creating a Facebook fan page and posting flyers in coffee shops around Cincinnati.
She has been preparing for the trip by biking, running and spreading the word about the EJF, all the while working on completing her coursework and senior fashion design thesis.
“I love the creative freedom,” Ricketts said. She believes that fashion is an industry of “big
dreams and big ideas.” She is most looking forward to returning to London, where she worked on co-op for six months last year.
With Kim Burgas, an alumna of UC’s sociology program, the two will be the only Americans participating in the trip. The money raised for The Great Fashion Cycle will go directly to the EJF to help end environmental injustices.
Injustice in the cotton industry is one of six campaigns the EJF is currently concentrating on solving, along with climate control, illegal fishing, shrimp farm pollution, deadly chemical pesticides and illegal trafficking of plants and wildlife.
By sending representatives around the world to raise awareness, EJF is doing their part to fight for justice.
The EJF’s “Pick Your Cotton Carefully” campaign has garnered support from actors and actresses, musicians, fashion designers and top fashion models.
Notable supporters include designers Luella Bartley and Christian Lacroix, along with models Lily Cole and Chanel Iman. Musician KT Tunstall publicized the organization at the Live Earth concert in 2007.

NBA Finals: Something to prove
The Los Angeles Lakers will win the 2010 NBA Finals.
Or, maybe the Boston Celtics will.Either way, you’ve seen this
story before.Another NBA championship
will be No. 18 for Boston or No. 16 for Los Angeles. The two franchises already account for more than half of the Larry O’Brien trophies ever handed out.
The two teams have boasted no shortage of superstars in their storied histories. There hasn’t been much love lost, either.
The rivalry began in the 1960s, but it wasn’t much of a rivalry in the beginning. Boston won eight-straight championships and 11 titles in 13 seasons through 1969. For seven of those championships, it was the L.A. Lakers that Boston bested in the finals.
Jerry West is the man forever immortalized in the NBA’s logo, but even he couldn’t keep Boston and Bill Russell from dominating the league and the rivalry in those early years.
In the 1980s, it was all about Larry Bird and Earvin “Magic” Johnson. The two teams won eight of the decade’s championship titles and Bird and Magic combined for five Finals MVP Awards.
Magic and the Lakers came out on top in the head-to-head finals meetings, winning in six games both in 1985 and ’87 against the Celtics. At the time, Lakers/Celtics was the biggest rivalry in sports. Some argue it still is.
So from now on, until this season’s champion is crowned, be ready for a slew of historic montages and Auto-Tuned commercials of legends past hyping up this year’s rendition in the latest round of a truly historic rivalry.
When the teams met in the 2008 Finals, an injury-plagued Lakers team was manhandled by Boston in six games as the Celtics won their first title since 1986. The Lakers were lucky to even be in the finals that season, whereas the Celtics were expecting nothing short of a title after acquiring The Big Three in the previous offseason.
Plans for a Boston repeat were cut short when Kevin Garnett went down with an injury and missed the 2009 playoffs. As a result, the Orlando Magic emerged from the Eastern Conference only to be beaten by the Lakers in five games.
And that sets us up for this season, where the NBA’s two previous champions each have something to prove.
The Lakers are out to prove their 2008 Finals loss was a fluke, they aren’t a “soft” team and they’re still the NBA’s best. A fifth title for Kobe Bryant and 11th for head coach Phil Jackson would only further cement them as two of the greatest ever involved with the game.
Boston has plenty to fight for, as well. The Celtics tasted championship glory in ’08 and more than anything want to reassert themselves as the league’s best team. A championship run this season would help the argument that the Lakers “stole” the title last year and injuries alone prevented the Celtics from winning three-straight championships.
Overall, the two teams look pretty similar to the ones that took the court against each other in ’08, but the small differences will be key.
The Lakers traded Trevor Ariza for Ron Artest, whose best defensive effort will be necessary to keep Boston’s scoring low.
Lamar Odom was forced into a starting spot in ’08 with Andrew Bynum sidelined with an injury. With Odom now coming off the bench, Los Angeles’ depth is that much better.
Rajon Rondo was a Boston starter in ’08, but he was living under the shadow of The Big Three at the time. If Rondo continues to play at the level he has been this postseason, he should be a shoe-in for Finals MVP if the Celtics win.
If they don’t win, Bryant will likely win his second-straight Finals MVP and add fuel to the fire in the Bryant vs. Michael Jordan debate.
Either way, an NBA giant will walk away with another championship when it’s all said and done as the little guys watch on their plasma screens back home.
LeBron James and Steve Nash will continue to be the best active players without a title and, at the rate the Lakers and Celtics are going, who knows when another team will finally get good enough to challenge for a ring of their own?
volleyball completes 2010 recruiting class
The University of Cincinnati volleyball team inked Minnesota native Lauren Grant, completing its 2010 recruiting class June 1.
Grant was a two-time all-state selection and a three-time All-Lake Conference Performer from Eastview High School in Apple Valley, Minnesota.
Grant played club volleyball for the Mizuno Northern Lights, helping the team win three-straight AAU National Championships. She was also ranked among the Top-250 players in high school, according to PrepVolleyball.com.
Grant will join Juliana Behrens, an outside hitter from Honolulu, Hawaii, and Brittany Haber, a 6-2 middle blocker from St. Petersburg, Florida, to form the 2010 freshman class.
women’s basketball adds three to 2010 class
The University of Cincinnati women’s basketball team added three players to its 2010 recruiting class.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to add three quality student-athletes in the late signing period,” said UC second-year head coach Jamelle Elliott. “They are each skilled players, good students and strong competitors.”
LaShay Banks, Dayeesha Hollins and Bjonee Reaves are set to join the Bearcats roster for the 2010-11 season.
Banks is a shooting guard from Philadelphia, Hollins is a transfer from the University of Michigan who played high school basketball at Winton Woods High School and Reaves is a transfer from Neosho County Community College in Chanute, Kansas, where she was the fifth-leading scorer in the NJCAA last season.
zimmerman advances to ncaa championships
After the first and second rounds of the NCAA Track and Field Regionals, the University of Cincinnati sent one athlete to compete in the 2010 NCAA Championships.
Brian Zimmerman placed fifth in the javelin with a throw of 222 feet Friday, May 28, at the NCAA Regional in Greenville, North Carolina.
Zimmerman advanced to the NCAA Championships and will contend in the javelin throw. Zimmerman is scheduled to compete at 8:15 p.m., Thursday, June 10, in Eugene, Oregon.
The NCAA Championships will take place from Wednesday, June 9, through Saturday, June 12, with the final two days being broadcasted on CBS.

Nobody is perfect.The Cincinnati Commandos came close,
but finished their regular season with a 45-21 loss to the Wisconsin Wolfpack Saturday, May 29, in Madison, Wisconsin.
Cincinnati (9-1) took the field at Hartmeyer Arena without many of its usual starters. Nursing an injured ankle, starting quarterback Ben Mauk watched as wide receiver Dominick Goodman lined up under center against the Wolfpack.
Goodman, who played quarterback for Colerain High School’s spread-option offense before moving to wide receiver at the University of Cincinnati, ran for 90 yards and three touchdowns on 22 carries.
“[Goodman] did exceptionally well,” said Commandos head coach Billy Back. “We ran the ball very well on them; we only threw it 11 times.”
Former Bearcat Greg Moore ran for an additional 70 yards on 22 attempts and Cincinnati out-gained the Wolfpack (8-2) by more than 50 yards, but just 18 total passing yards and key fourth-quarter plays gave Wisconsin the win.
“We were down 21-27 with about nine minutes left and just couldn’t score a touchdown,” Back said.
A failed onside kick gave the Wolfpack the ball deep in Cincinnati territory and a bad snap over Goodman’s head led to a defensive score.
“After that, it was just, ‘Oh well, let’s stay healthy,’ ” Back said.
gARRETT SAbElHAuSTHE NEWS RECORD
The 2010 baseball season served as a farewell tour for seven University of Cincinnati seniors.
It was also an emergence for other players who used the season to prove themselves for the future of the program.
From the start, head coach Brian Cleary knew his team would struggle to score runs. The lack of a power hitter in the lineup showed with a Big East-worst team batting average of .251.
“I was disappointed in the way we swung the bat,” Cleary said. “I didn’t think we were set up to be supremely powerful offensively, but I thought we’d be ahead of where we were.”
The Cats’ 287 runs scored were second to last in the conference, but the team was able to use its pitching staff adequately enough to earn one of eight spots in the Big East Championship at the end of the season.
Of the 12 baseball schools in the Big East, the top eight advanced to the conference tournament in Florida at season’s end.
