melodies How has college music evolved since your radio rocked campus? Listen for yourself. Now you can tune in to the musical styles today's students prefer, thanks to Bearcast, a Web-based student-run campus radio station out of the College-Conservatory of Music. With the help of adviser John Owens, assistant professor of electronic media at CCM, students are streaming modern rock, hip-hop and talk shows over the Internet from 7 a.m. to midnight. The Web-based media not only transports the DJs and their music off campus, but also requires less regulation and far less expense than producing a radio signal. illustration/Angela Klocke |

Out
of control
With U.S. employers spending $4.2 billion each year to handle roughly
two million cases of workplace assaults and threats of violence, UC's
Department of Psychiatry has formed the Center for Threat Assessment.
UC experts from forensic psychiatry, the College of Business Administration
and University Police collaborate with the center to comprehensively assist
Tristate companies in managing the problem.
Because University Hospital has one of the few psychiatric emergency rooms
in the country, as well as a community crisis response team, the university
has been long recognized as a leader in evaluating, managing and treating
aggressive individuals. Free seminars are available by calling (513) 558-3951

Although Jeannette Taylor has stepped down from the deanship of the College
of Evening and Continuing Education (CECE), her presence remains. An oil
painting of UC's first African American female dean hangs as the initial
portrait in the college's new gallery of deans.
Among other tributes, university provost Anthony Perzigian calls Taylor
the "mother of distance education" at UC. "Jeannette led
all the lay committees," he says. "She was the visionary from
the get-go, and now other colleges are working to model CECE's success."
The French Hall multipurpose room has been named in Taylor's honor, and
UC and CECE have established a Jeannette Taylor Scholarship Fund. Best
of all, next year Taylor plans to return to UC as a professor in the School
of Social Work.
