Just last week one of my professors handed back our first assignment, an essay that was supposed to compare and contrast two buildings.

The University of Cincinnati is home to the first musical theater college in the country. Students at the College-Conservatory of Music are given the opportunity to explore the arts in a myriad of concentrations, ranging from harpsichord to theater design and production.

I am writing in response to the Wednesday, Nov. 3, article “UC Aramark disregards health policy” as the article presents the opinion of one anonymous source as fact.
The contractual relationship with Aramark is managed by Housing & Food Services, a division of Campus Services. Multiple UC staff members are in the dining centers on a daily basis to monitor Aramark’s performance and compliance with their contractual obligations to the university.
Many child stars become famous and wealthy overnight, but this is not the case for the children who starred in the hit movie “Slumdog Millionaire,” winner of eight Academy Awards, among them being 2008’s Best Motion Picture of the Year.

In the Wednesday, Oct. 28, News Record article “Deceptive pregnancy centers flushed out,” Carly Tamborski falls prey to a common ideology that conflates women’s rights and reproductive health with an abortion agenda. She believes that an organization is deceptive simply because, in the services they provide to pregnant women, they exclude abortions and abortion referrals — as if abortion is somehow the cornerstone of all prenatal assistance.

Every year it’s the same thing at the University of Cincinnati when Oct. 31 rolls around: loud music, pumpkins with obscene images carved in them, women running down Calhoun Street in weather inappropriate costumes. There aren’t any trick-or-treaters; one would be hard pressed to find a celebration that doesn’t involve alcohol.
This fall, “Glee,” a musical dramedy, became a cult phenomenon after the first episode – approximately 7.3 million viewers tuned in, according to Nielson ratings – and its popularity is still gaining momentum. Unfortunately, new episodes will not be aired until November, although that does allow for time to catch up on missed episodes or to start watching the show.
This summer was the first time I’d been to the Mediterranean Sea in 10 years. The last time was when I was in Greece at the turn of the millennium. My sisters, cousin and I were taking a walk around town, and a gypsy girl kept following us around; she was aimless and bored with nothing better to do.
From where I stand — from an idealistic civilian’s point of view — it seems you, Obama, have forgotten the mantra that earned you the presidency of the United States of America. Three small words, “Yes we can,” held promise for all. Those words suggested transparency, change and involvement. They suggested inclusion, creativity and a new start. Those three words are incredibly powerful because they promise each person a right to pursue their individual dream of what “we” can be.
Letter to the Editor
First, let me say that I am an alumnus and former athlete of the University of Cincinnati. I graduated in 1983, so I must admit it has been a long, long time since I have read The News Record.
As I am a UCATS donor and season ticket holder for both football and men’s basketball, I have recently come across two articles – “Cincinnati fans thinking too far ahead” on Wednesday, Oct. 14, and “UC needs to find next Brian Kelly” on Wednesday, Oct. 21 – written by Garrett Sabelhaus, sports editor of The News Record and author of Sabel’s Haus, while surfing the Web for Bearcat news.

As much as I appreciate free speech in The News Record, will you at least put a counterpoint to the opinions that Garrett Sabelhaus, the sports editor, is writing?
