Back to the kitchen
I feel that I should apologize to you, oh-so-loyal readers of the Xavier Newswire. Last week, I was required as Sports Editor to put out the eight pages of men’s and women’s basketball content known as our basketball preview issue. As a long-time fan of basketball and someone who played […]
Cincinnatians, we can do better than this
Local students of Xavier – you disappoint me. Too many of Xavier’s Cincinnatians, many of whom have lived in the city their entire life, don’t know what Queen City has to offer. I’ll admit – I’m one of these unaware students. For the past 21 years, I have lived in […]
Sells Star Wars, Lucas does
Maybe that galaxy isn’t so far, far away after all. George Lucas, one of the greatest of all filmmakers, has recently sold his company Lucasfilm to the Walt Disney Company for a whopping $4.05 billion.

What’s on the menu:
The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company puts on some of Cincinnati’s greatest performances. Opening this year with a successful The Hound of Baskerville and their award-winning To Kill a Mockingbird, I could not wait to see what Cincy Shakes had to offer with their special event performance of William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus. […]
Film review: Man with the Iron Fists
To say that The Man with the Iron Fists is a bad movie would be a harsh claim to say the least. It is not only intended to be an overthe-top kung fu movie, but also new comer RZA’s first big project, and it is fair to say that it […]
XU Montessori partners with China to mirror program across the nation
Anyone familiar with Xavier mythos knows that it was always St. Francis Xavier’s hope to one day go to China and work as a missionary. In fact, he is said to have died staring with longing at the Chinese shore. It seems appropriate that 450 years later, the University that […]

Cintas, one of Xavier University’s foremost sponsors, has come under fire concerning this year’s presidential election. A recent email from Cintas CEO Scott Farmer to Cintas employees has raised some questions about employers’ influence on their workers’ voting decisions.
