The cover for the 2000 IBIS was designed by Julia Miller. editoris introduction ach umversut as its own unique personality and history E that is de ' ed by the students. I sought to bring out the distinctive ualities of the University ofMiami through this year's IBIS ye book. I felt that the theme, sharper image, accurately ented our campus this year. As the millennium drew closer, there was a need to reach urther and strive to better ourselves and our environment. Things that were once adequate for the prior generations seemed unqualified for 2000 and beyond. We needed to be sharper and better then ever before. Creating sharper images was one way that the IBIS staff tried to improve on last year's publication. Another priority of mine was to produce this yearbook on time. After dealing with the disappointment of receiving the 1998-1999 book in August, I focused on the importance of meeting deadlines to insure that it would not happen again. Throughout the book we used simple layout designs and fewer graphics for a Cleaner look. I wanted the book to be done in a classiC-style format. We used varying amounts of copy and photographs to give the book diverse content and gave each section its own personality. So here it is...the 2000 IBIS yearbook. I hope you enjoy it. -Julia Miller Editor-in-Chief 2000 IBIS editor? intro 3 WW OF TWO ERAS In their brief moment of e a g k: wwxm encounter, two eras pause for us to observe them as they cross each other's path never to meet again.

The year 2000 served as a pivotal point in many ways. It stimulated a fresh start and much optimism. Some students formed new relationships while others became accustomed to once unfamiliar surroundings. As the year 2000 left its mark on our campus students were making their mark in history.

BY JULIA lVllLLER ith students and citizens of all ages singing songs and playing games, the scene on Saturday, February 20, 1999 was one that would bring a smile to anyone's face. Students and special citizens of the Miami community joined together once again for FunDay 1999, a day that has been a tradition for over twenty years. The event was both educational and recreational for the students and Citizens who participated. The purpose of FunDay is to make people aware of other people with disabilities, said Claudia Moreno, FunDay Chairperson. The day began with each UM student being paired with a special person or ltbuddy. The theme was llUnder the Sea and they had six stations which formed a playhouse that hosted the various activities throughout the day. The special citizens danced and sang with Sebastian from The Little Mermaid, sailed on the Titanic and partied on a stranded island. FunDay was a great experience. It felt great to make someone's clay. The buddies were all so happy to be there with us, said sophomore Janell Johnson. Over 260 special citizens attended but only approximately 200 students, half of the expected turnout, took part in the event. Students were paired with more than one buddy because of the low turnout. The participation was low but those who were there made the day a success. The buddies who did show up did an amazing job, said Mickey Rubenstein, director of the Volunteer Services Center. In addition to the actual event, many organizations including Hillel, Student Government Association, and the Equestrian Team made donations to fund the FunDay events. All who participated made it a day that the special citizens will not forget. Hugg'ng her best friend's little brother, Gus, Sophomore Amity Driggers pause: for a photo during the FunDay festivities.

When asked why he Chose UM, freshman Paul Schuman said, It's a big place with a lot of diversity. In recent years, UM has upped its standards. It has become increasingly difficult to be admitted into the university. And even with this added emphasis on selectivity, over 1,700 fresh, new faces were seen gazing up in awe at the buildings on campus in the fall. This year there were more applications for first-year students than any other year. Many students came to the University of Miami to expand their knowledge. Students liked UM because of the atmosphere, the location and the beauty of the campus. The flora added a calming effect to the university. Many times during the day, BY CHRISTIAN MARIBONA 20 M 19: students could be seen relaxing under a palm tree or by a fountain. Freshman Julio Barroso said, My first impression of the University of Miami was one of belonging. From the first time that I set foot on campus, which was during spring break of my junior year tin high schooD, I knew that I was meant to be a Miami Hurricane. After the freshmen arrived on campus, Welcome Week 99: Piecing It All Together took off. This two-week long orientation process provided the new Hurricanes with events that kept them busy. They received tours and met new people. All of the freshmen were put into orientation groups and assigned to an Orientation Assistant tOAy. Through these groups the freshmen learned about their new home away from home. They viewed did icebreakers and participated in other fun-filled events. films, photos by stacey spalter As part of orientation, new students participated in a luncheon at President Foote's house. Freshmen were able to meet some of the administration and socialize with the new people they had met over their first few days on campus. ,jf Welcoming g,' e Students to m s e their home, President and Mrs. F00. e Shake hands with inCOMing freshman Jow Diamiond a, the President's Picnic.

Parents and students hustled and bustled, pushing carts and Climbing into elevators, in an effort to get settled into their new home away from home. For some students the move was not difficult. They just brought the essentials: clothing, music and maybe a few appliances. For others, however, the task of moving into the dorms was a bit more formidable. Students brought with them an array of items from computers and musical instruments to DJ turntables and lofts. This was also a day to get Moving into his dorm room in Eaton, sophomore Dino Antonuccio carries his television to his new home away from home. The week of August 21, 1999 was a hectic one for students moving on campus especially if they had many possessions to transport. acquainted with new roomates, neighbors and people in the residential colleges. The first few days of the new year proved to be an ideal time to make new friends and, of course, get better acquainted with members of the opposite sex. The real dorm experience began once parents left and the students had to fend for themselves. For some, the dorm indeed proved to be an excellent place to live. You meet people easily, said sophomoreJustyn Stahl. In the elevator, in the dining hall, in the laundry room. Most people are comfortable with meeting new people. Roomates Scott Karp and Bruce Perry both said convenience was the reason they came back to Hecht for their sophomore year. .Indeed, living on campus took away the need to commute, which for many students was a definite plus since traffic in Miami can be, uh, less than perfect. Students didn't have to worry about having to cook either. When the time for food arose, a quick stride to the dining hall was sufficient for a meal. In addition, living on campus put the students right in the middle of things, close to university facilities and student activities. For Kevin Murphy, a foreign exchange student from Scotland, the dorms provided a Chance to Trying to find a rug that will fit in their room, sophomores Amanda Turner and Mariika VanderPol climb into the truck during the rug sale in the fall. Students tried their best to make dorms as comfortable as possible. wzwxwwmww, interact with people from different cultures. I have met people from different nationalities that have helped me remove some of the stereotypes I had grown up with. Living in the dorms definitely opened my outlook of the world. My roomate is from Japan. I learned a great deal from him, as he did from me. For other students, however, the dorm life was less than ideal--it was close to a nightmare. Sophomore Katie Slagon did not feel comfortable in her dorm room. There is little privacy, she commented. Your roomate is less than a few feet from your side, so it is inevitable that there will be a compromise in personal space. Freshman Jair Clarke felt constricted in his dorm room as well. I feel like a mouse in a cage, and there is little I can do to decorate my room, since space is so scarce, he said. Still others felt that eating at the dining hall was a definite problem. Chartwells can become boring, the same grilled chicken platter everyday, kinda gets a bit revolting. I am vegan so there is little I can eat there anyways. For those students that did not particularly like the dorms, there was the alternative of living in an off-campus apartment. Sophomore Justyn Stahl said he liked the kitchen in his apartment. I can cook my own dinner, where I pick out the ingredients and use the groceries that I buy without the fear of wondering 'humm . what is in this rice, did they cook it right?' It's just more convenient, he said. He explained that even though he had a roomate he never worried about privacy. I have my own space and if I want to bring people over I don't worry about bothering my roomates because there is the living room. Justin was also quick to point out that his apartments were not without its shortcomings. The dorms are safer, my apartment does not have the ethernet and I practically don't know my neighbors, but I would Choose my apartment over the dorms anyday, he commented. When asked if he would ever move off campus, freshman Kevin Murphy answered no and said he enjoyed the camaraderie on his floor. I don't think I would get that anywhere else, Kevin said. Still, there were those students who felt that they would not come back to the dorms. Katie Slagen will try to get an off- Campus apartment next year. I need my space, and I want to have my own little corner here in Ivliami.'l Jair Clarke thought he would stay in the dorms. It's just easier to live here. I have everything I need right here on campus. photos by daniel colcher home Sweet home i BY JUAN PENA mom m 23 CocoWalk is a place where many UM students go during the weekend. Its bright lights and great atmosphere draws crowds of Hurricanes. After dark, a lot of familiar faces could be seen at the many shops, restaurants and bars of CocoWalk. photos by stdcey spalter After a full week of classes, UM students want to start their weekends early, so they make time to stop by the Tavern. As you can see, the Tavern was always full on Thursday nights. w t dark... BY FARRAH FONTAINE tudents at the University of Miami got more than just the typical college party experience. Miami was a big city with an even bigger nightlife. South Beach was internationally famous for its night clubs, and Coconut Grove, just fifteen minutes from the University, was another student hot spot. The opening of The Shops at Sunset Place in 1999 also provided a new student hang-out just across the street from school. . Compared to Savannah, the nigthlife here is off the hook. There is much more to do, it is more lively and there are different types of clubs for various moods, said sophomore Shanti Persad- Maharaj. For many students, drinking was a part of these nights on the Seniors Alyssa Bavli, Sarah Yoho, Stacey Spalter and Esther Cornfeld pause for a photo opportunity while hanging out at Hooligans Sports Bar. This was another popular place that students went on the weekends. Some bars and clubs allowed 18-year-olds in, but drinking was another matter. It's never fun spending the evening wishing for a bracelet, or wishing for the 'X' on your hand to go away, said sophomore Jan Marie Robinson. Many students found ways to get around this, however. Local club managers claimed to uphold a strict underage drinking policy, but word quickly spread about which places were strict and which werenlt. The Tavern, in the Grove, was always packed with UM students. Dancing and drinking combined was a favorite activity among students. In town. Minnesota people just go to farms and drink but here people go to clubs and dance and drink which is a lot more fun, said Nicole Wagner a freshman. Opportunities for students all throughout the city from South Beach, the Grove, Bayside and downtown meant students were never at a loss as to what to do on a Friday night. h . . . The Victoria's Secret Catalogue. Countless college coeds dream of looking like tLa Femme Victoria' and many, many more college boys dream of having 'La Femme Victoria'. And what about you? Have you checked yourself out in the mirror today? Chances were you did--and more than once. But c'mon, who wouldn't obsess about looks in a sexy town like Miami? Unfortunately, though, catalogues are just catalogues and it was difficult to look like Laetitia Casta when you were surrounded by books and cafeteria food 247. But some students were just too seduced by the media to realize they were risking their lives whiletryingto look like models. The media determines the ideal body. Back in the 19505, Marilyn Monroe was the ideal body size. By today's standards, she would be chubby. Then in .the sixties, the media introduced Twiggy and emaciation became the highly idealized look. That was the socio- cultural push which spurred off this development of eating disorders, said Pamela EX photo by daniel colcher Deroian, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist of the Conseling Center. A lot of people don't even realize that they may be obsessed with their appearance or with their bodies,'l said Renee Dickens Callan, M.Ed., Director of Orientation and the Women's Resource Center. Even the whole obsession with Jennifer Lopez and her not being afraid of her tvoluptuous body.' What voluptuous body? She's probably smaller than the average female in the country. And average was a word not even used in Miami. Miami is not only sun tan' city, where we wear shorts and swimsuits year-round, but it's also 'body-beautiful mecca.' You go to South Beach and you had better be thin and have a beautiful body if you want to get into a Club, Deroian said. But is this what we want our futures to be like? I hope young adults will get to where they feel that they don't have to achieve thinness to be happy or to have opportunities in their lives, said Seana Shaw, M.D., an Associate Professor of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. photo by stacey spalter the girl dilemma: the hamburger or the I J!

After the senators were announced by the Elections Commission, Brad Schumaker, the then Chair of the EC, stepped up to announce the new Executive Board of the Student Government. Students waited anxiously as Schumaker stalled and fiddled with some papers. When the announcement was finally made that the members of Ileana Espinosals ticket were the new SC Executive Board, the students were pleased. lll am satisfied with the outcome, said sophomore Nabeel Hamoui, 1And I like the idea of 'Approach 36 Week'.

At every Registration office across campus, lines formed at the front desks. In these lines were students, freshmen through senior, who needed to do one of four things. They either had to add a course, drop a course, change a course section or register completely. Some colleges at the university sent registration packets to the students during the summer. This was a big help to entering students. Darcy Gill, a freshman in the school of Business Administration said, The mail- home registration packet was very easy to complete. It also saved a lot of time. Even with the availability of the new packets. There were many who did not register over the summer. On top of that, some of the courses that were given as choices werenlt what the students wanted or needed for their course requirements. Chris Allen, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences Honors Program said, It is easy to get the Classes that you want if you are in the Honors Program. But not all students were, so they had to Change their schedules. For those students who went right away to fix their course problems, the lines were long and slow moving. But it seemed the lines got shorter the longer you waited. This was the reason why Lindsay Garfield, a sophomore in the School of Music, waited until the very last day. The lines in the registration office were shorter, she said, llfor the people who waited until the last minute. But it wasn't a good idea to wait until the last day to Change your courses because then you missed the first few classes of the courses in which you wanted to be added and Classes filled up fast. Procrastination only caused students to fall behind before they even started. Sophomore Ashley Lash gets help with her scheduling problems during drop and add week.

A world class gym, racquetball, basketball and tennis courts, a track, a pool, aerobics classes and a juice bar were among some of the many attractions that drew students and faculty to the Wellness Center each day. A variety of both student and faculty jobs kept the Wellness Center running smoothly and looking beautiful. Many students worked at the Wellness Center as part of their work-study or Miami Commitment programs. A job at the Wellness Center was a coveted position by most work-study and Miami commitment students. Most people like to work here because they are very lenient with your 32m schedule and it is the Closest on-campus job with the same pay as the other work study jobs, said freshman Robyn Weinstein who worked at the front desk and the pro-shop. Some of the more peopIe-oriented jobs that students were assigned to were front desk or pro- shop duty, which consisted mainly ofanswering questions, phones and renting out equipment. Those who worked in the fitness room helped the people working out with the weights and aerobic machines. One of the more interesting jobs was that of lifeguard for the Wellness Center's pool and spa. Basically the lifeguards are here to watch out in case students get cramps and need help and make sure the rules of the pool and the spa are followed. The pool is four feet deep so we don't really have many drowning worries, said Cathie Ferara a freshman who worked at the Wellness Center as a lifeguard. Behind the scenes were the students who worked in operations, responsible for the upkeep of equipment and the general maintenance of the entire center. Faculty who worked in Campus Sports and Recreation had their offices upstairs in the Wellness Center, and student employees also worked office duty upstairs. Aerobics, Awesome Abs , and Spinning cycle classes were among the many exercise classes offered in the Wellness Center. The Classes were taught both by outside instructors and certified students. 1'Working at the Wellness Center was a pretty fun job because you really get to see and spend time with a lot of people, said sophomore Rob Forgus. Students could also go to the Wellness Center to receive fat measurements, work with personal trainers or use the state-of-the-art fitness room. The fitness room was overseen by various fitness leaders whose main responsibility was to, supervise the fitness room and make sure the patrons are having a good and safe time, said senior Leonard Meeks. The Wellness Center provided a central, convenient on-campus workout center that every student could take advantage of if they so Chose.

Now add a child into the equation and you'll really know what life is like for college students who have children. According to the most recent Census data, 40 percent of all American girls will get pregnant before their twenty- first birthday. For these parents, issues of inadequate daycare, transportation and child illness'es were as much a part of the pressure of college as were exams and final reports. With more and more student parents coming to college, faculty and staff must be sensitive to their special needs. Student parents must also be candid about putting their baby as a priority and celebrating the commitment to themselves and the child's future. At Ohio State University, a preliminary project to determine the feasibility of providing housing for women college students who are single mothers is under way. Yet here, family housing was simply demolished about eight years ago in order to silence students' demands for parking. According to Robert Redick, Ph.D., Director of Residence Halls, We don't have any room for student parents. Our first commitment is to BY FABIANA CORREA PLA undergraduate students and they fill up all of the available spaces!l A day in the life of seniors Brett Johns, 21, and Angie Barnes, 23, consists of constantly reversing roles. After waking up, one of them feeds Rain, their two year old girl, while the other prepares for work or school. Going out together has long become a oks in hand, senior Martinc : feed: her baby boy before heading to class. Managing time was a key issue in parents' lives while attending college. thing of the past. They used to have a baby sitter for the weekends, but then changed to one going out while the other spent the night at home with Rain. When Rain was on the way, Brett did not seem to have much of a reaction, meanwhile Angie was flabbergasted. I still lived with my parents and I didn't want others to find out I was pregnant, she said. Rain convinced her mommy to go to college despite opposition from Angie's parents. Angie knew she wanted to give her child a good life, even if that meant going against her parents' wishes. But would Angie ever live on campus if that were possible? Having an apartment on campus would be really nice if it were affordable, but then we probably wouldn't be able to afford it, she said. Becoming a parent while in college also split families apart in some cases. A student who declined to have her name listed told IBIS that she hadn't spoken with her father since May of 1999. Often choices caused disagreement between families over what was best for the child. Those who chose to stay in school hoped to provide a better future for thier child. Higher education allowed student parents to make a commitment to society, but strong and effective parenting was their legacy. As Angie mentioned, Rain is my inspiration, my reason to be good, and my reason to succeed in life. student: M want: 35 photo by stdcey Spalter runner up Maria Angella is escorted on stage by a mber of ROTC for the evening wear competition.

From dealing with classes and keeping track ofall the other extracurricular activities, to worries about the future it was no wonder many students often felt tense. My main stress comes when things get hard and I don't know what to do, said freshman Rohan Sen. Financial worries figured high on the list of students main worries. Tuition, living costs and the high costs of most school books made stressing about money a daily occurence. These, combined with parental pressure to do well because of the money invested in an education made for even more pressure. I feel like my parents have high expectations for me since they are paying so much for my education and I feel like I must do well so as not to disappoint them, said sophomore Dana Turpin. Often times stress was unavoidable and just needed to be dealt with until the event passed or the issue was no longer important. For junior Marc: Jean, The only way to relieve my stress is to get an A. Students chose to deal with stress in many different ways. For some, partying on the weekends and taking advantage of Miami's nightlife provided relief from worries over classes. It was a momentary way to forget about problems and enjoy the company of friends. Others took advantage of the Wellness Center by working off their frustrations, relaxing in the spa, or utilizing the basketball and raquetball courts as a way to get rid of excess energy. Still others took daily naps to help refresh them for the rest of the day. llWhenever I stress about Classes or yearbook deadlines, I like to take a nap to relax, said senior Julia Miller. Each person had their own unique method of dealing with the daily grind of being a college student that helped them when stress seemed to be overwhelming. I deal with stress as it comes.

After the sophomore year, they went to whatjuniorChris Snydercalled a physically and mentally demanding experiencez field training at an Air Force Base. First Lieutenant Carlos Carballo, who is in charge of recruiting and admissions, said that in order to obtain an Air Force scholarship, incoming freshmen need to have at least a 2.65 cumulative G.P.A., while college students must have a 2.35 term G.P.A. But maintaining the scholarship was much tougher. While you are in the program, we are measuring you against your peers. What you're working toward as a freshman or sophomore is an enrollment allocation, which will guarantee that you will come to the Air Force as an officer, Carballo said. Sure, the Vietnam War has scarred Americans and changed forever the numbers of young adults interested in joining the military, but that doesn't seem to bother the Air Force. We are not about numbers. We are very selective, said Carballo. Another part of the Air Force are the Core Values, which consist ofa creed ofthree simple phrases: Integrity First, Service Before Self and Excellence in All We Do. These core values are what the AFROTC cadets maintain and live by every day even after they leave Air Force service. And if your idea of women in the military is that of Demi Moore shaving her hair to blend in with the guysewell, think again. As junior Barbie Perrys said, The instructors donlt treat you any differently than a guy and in their eyes youlre just another cadet.

The changes included the addition of a Clock tower to the Richter Library, the demolition of on-campus apartments for the Ryder Center, a new restauraunt in the University Center, a new look for the Follett bookstore and a new home for the School of Communication. Construction of the Dauer Clock Tower at Richter started in the summer of 1999 and would include a new inner stairwell for the Library. The Dauer Clock Tower was made possible by the donation of $1 million by Mrs. Reva B. Dauer and her sons Edward and Roger. Junior Jennifer Miller liked the idea and said she saw llno harm in improving the looks of the university, if it's within bounds of course. But her opinion changed when the subject of the Ryder Center came up. llThey didn't necessarily need to put a basketball arena in place of the apartment complex, even though they were old and run- down. The arena will do much for school spirit, but parking will be crazy!, Miller said. According to University Architect Barbara White, the Ryder Center, which took the place of six apartment buildings torn during fall of 1999, would truly be a convocation center. We expect it to be used for a variety of university functions. Basketball games are, of course, one of them, but we also want to host concerts, lectures, seminars, School of Music recitals or any other events happening in the community throughout the year. The largest donation--of $9 million--was made by Ryder BY FABIANA CORREA PLA System, Inc. in 1995 and was the foundation for the development of the state-of-the- art arena. The opening of Sbarro's came after Student Government members convinced administrators that students wanted to see more than just Pizza Hut and wanted more kinds of foods, said Pat Whitely, Vice President of Student Affairs. The makeover of the bookstore gave the breezeway a cleaner look and its entrance gave Follet a sense of belonging to the campus. We were lucky to partner with Follett Bookstores and part of the partnership arrangement was that they would do a major renovation of the bookstore, said Whitely. Construction of the new Frances L. Wolfson Building started in the summer of 1999. This building would house not only all five departments of the School of Communication, but it would also be the home of the UMTV station, an animation studio, sound stage and mixing studios, photography, writing, and graphic design labs as well as film editing suites. The Wolfson building was scheduled to be finished in winter of 2000 and would host its first classes in spring of2001. Starting in the summer of 1999 the university initiated a plan for a housing project called the UniversityVillage. At the time of publication, only surveys had been sent out to parents of current students asking what they thought would be an appropriate price for this type of housing. The University Village will consist of fully-gated apartments with security situated behind the Frat Row. Other planned improvements were additions to the School of Nursing, School ofArchitecture and an Islamic Center. comtmctiom 47 ncing to the , during the welcome week beach party, students gathered at the Rathskeller to enioy some recreation before classes began. photo by stdcey $deth homore Rumico Tang-Yuk shoot: 2 pool at the Rat during Happy Hour on a Friday night.

BY JON KEPKO 50 gg' gm; fter several cases of sexual assault were reported on school property, the UMPD boosted the number of night security personnel on campus and started to patrol previously overlooked. When proved ineffective and costly, officials decided to come up with a new plan, called Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design tCPTEDl for increased safety on-campus around the Clock. CPTED was a technique used nationwide which consisted of adding subtle features such as bushes and fences on the perimeters of the campus. One of these fences was placed along Red Road stretching from the Faculty Club to San Amaro Drive during the summer. The UMPD also placed a petition to the City of Coral Cables to close off all the streets between Brescia Avenue and San Amaro Drive, the site of the future University Village. Another part of the plan to increase security was placing bike police officers to patrol 'IFrat Row. The area was split up into three zones with a patrol officer in a car to monitor each of the zones and also to respond quickly. llThis plan makes the patroling more effective, as well as giving us an officer who is able to respond quickly, said Major Henry L. Christensen, Director areas of the Department of Public Safety. Public Safety also offered a program called SART, or Sexual Assault Response Team, which has existed for almost fifteen years and helps sexual assault victims to recover by offering counseling and services such as RAD tRape Aggression Defensel classes. RAD Classes began three years ago as a joint effort by the UMPD and the Wellness Center to teach women tactics to fend off potential rapists. Every year, a tour of people consisting of Public Safety personnel, the Dean of Students, concerned Citizens and others surveyed the lighting, determined its effectiveness and searched for possible locations for the llblue light phones. As a result, ten more blue phones were placed on campus and several lights were installed at the breezeway near Follett Bookstore. AfterThe Miami Hurricane's special report on Public Safety, ABC-Channel 10, Miami unexpectedly stopped by to Check the performance and adequacy of security. The investigation gave the department a positive rating and acknowledged them for making the improvements. Constructive criticism is always helpful, but even bad criticism can sometimes help us see where we need to improve,'l said Christensen. light special photos by stacey spalter Late in the evening, security worker Adam Greenbaum signs in a guest for Mahoney resident Jeff Telofski.

Hurricane Floyd was three times bigger than Hurricane Andrew, which struck South Florida in 1992. Hurricane Andrew was a small category four, while Floyd was one mile per hour less than a category five. At UM, the preparations were put into effect on Sunday, September 13th.

Hurricane Irene, on the other hand, was an unexpected hit to South Florida causing much more damage because it was not predicted to be as serious as it was. Flooding became a serious problem all over Miami during Irene. Many homes lost power and were stranded in their homes for days. Around campus, trees were down everywhere and parking lots were transformed into shallow lakes. Umbrellas could be found floating in Lake Osceola. My dorm room was completely flooded. I had to leave and go somewhere else because it was so bad. Nobody thought it would be as serious as it was so no one was prepared, said senior Julia Miller. Because hurricanes were so unpredictable the university was overprepared at times such as Hurricane Floyd and under prepared for situations like Hurricane Irene. President Foote said that the university officials did what they thought was best given the information they were provided by their sources. Natural disasters were unpredictable and for this reason even more harmful. p oto oy stcey spa ter ocean in West Palm Beach as Hurricane Floyd skirts the eastern coast of Florida a mere two hundred miles offshore. photo by stacey Spalter unhappy to see a hurricane coming.

Large institutions which thrived on chips and bytes, like UM, prepared themselves for the largest computer glitch ever. The Y2K Bug was a name given to a problem that occurred in computer software. Dates were stored with the last two digits of the year. The year 1999 was stored as 99 and the year 2000, as 00. This programming error caused computers to interpret 2000 as 1900, and to consequently crash. One of the fears associated with this bug was that airports would not have been able to land planes safely. The reasoning behind this was that the computers which held the flight plans for the air traffic controllers would not have been able to plot the courses of the airliners to make sure that they did not collide in mid- flight. For the University of Miami, Y2K-compliant computers and telephones were the largest problem. Amner Alfaro, a Senior StaffAssistant at Systems Services for University Advancement said, 1'In order to for Y2K. upgrade the software and make sure the patch files were compatible and ready for the year 2000, we had to make sure that the operating systems and applications were both Y2K compliant. The question on everyone's mind was what the university was doing to prepare for Y2K. According to Walter Bechtel, Year 2000 Project Manager, The University had been pursuing Y2K preparedness for many years. All units within the University that were involved in preparations would regularly report readiness. One thing UM did to prepare for Y2K was installing Eaton Computer lab, User Assistant Ryan Dosen and Shift Supervisor Richard attergcon look at a website designed by Dell Computers to fix their computers a new phone system. The old system was over a decade old and wouldn't last through Y2K. Scott Jones, the Residential Coordinator in Pearson Residential Colleges said he thought llthe new phones were an improvement because the old phones just weren't good enough? Aside from the phones, the university also had to update all of the software of the computers on campus, a task which required organization and patience. Hopefully, the dedication to this issue will have paid off on January 1, 2000 and everything continues to run smoothly. 22k 59 photo by stacey Spalter photo by stacey spalter BY JON KEPKO Spalter visit the a Colosseum on their spring break trip to f. .

Since frat houses were located next door to one another, they offered a buffet of different types of parties. One could easily leave a party that was incredibly BORING and give the one across the street a try. III was On the other hand, sororities did not host open parties. Each sorority had a social Chair, or a person responsible for meeting with their fraternity counterparts. Both Chairs would then plan on a theme, a place and a date. The fraternitites made great efforts to keep the campus lively by organizing parties with exotic themes. ZBT got wet and wild with a foam party, Kappa Sig had a memorable evening with the llFunk in the Fog party, and Sig Ep offered some impressive bands. On nights without a special theme, frats simply opened their doors and welcomed all to socialize and dance. Sometimes, though, students got tired of being on- campus and decided to leave and see what was out there. One advantage of going to a party off-campus was that the crowds were a bit smaller and the nights were longer. Still, the crowd was mainly UM students who had the responsibility of finding a ride back to the campus if one planned on drinking, whereas the frats and on-campus apartments were 3 l 3' t2 photo by Stacey Spdltel within walking distance. Also, the atmosphere of the off- Campus parties was more mellow and intimate considering the apartments were smaller and the revelers fewer. Most parties took place during the weekend, since most students had Classes five days a week. Doing so gave party animals a Chance to sleep all they wanted the morning after a party. Parties on and off campus were very much alike. The main difference was that there were less Greeks and a greater accessibility to alcohol off- campus. But overall, parties were an integral part of student life and socialization at the University of Miami regardless of where they took place. tie: X s xxxk , x q $6 6 L Kxgxx viva w vxxwx s $53 : th BY JENNIFER CLARKE $$wa $ QQxeVVXQ Ram ig mfg .

The purpose of Sports Fest was to provide a fun weekend of events that would build community relationships among residential colleges. Within Hecht, Stanford, Eaton, Mahoney and Pearson Residential Colleges, students formed separate girls and guys teams. These teams wracked up points for their residential COllege during each event. Every team came up with their owh banner, slogan and team name, which were announced at the opening ceremonies Friday evening. Among the variety of events held on the Intramural field were soccer, flag football, and relay races.

The residen- tial colleges offered various aC- tivities throughout the year to educate, entertain and inform. Best of all, it was all free. As part of the housing and dining package, you were provided with a risk free enter- tainment package. All you had to do'was show up. Hecht, the first residential college built on the University of Miami cam- pus, was built some seventeen livint BY RANDI MAJORS years ago. The idea behind the 1residential college' was to pro- vide a livingllearning atmo- sphere where students would become better situated in their new college environment. Through a nifty little equation, the resident masters along with the resident assistants and resi- dent coordinators work to- gether in a faculty fellow pro- gram to brainstorm and develop activities that assist students academically, socially and cul- turally. There are numerous types of programs in existence at the five residential colleges geared toward various types of people.

ZOML wished to aid the general stu- dent body, the more specific goal was to provide individu- alistic attention. If students had academic problems, they could attend a recently implemented tutoring program offered by the residen- tial colleges in conjunction with the Academic Develop- ment Center. At least once a week, the colleges also had floor programs offered by the RA and geared toward specific majors and undergraduate lev- els. Aside from class, I never need to leave the dorm, quipped sophomore Faa'izah Muhammed. In terms of success, the residential colleges received excellent feedback from stu- dents and parents. Activities such as freshman mixers, bus trips into the city and ice skat- ing offered opportunities for stu- dents both new and old to learn more about each other. From discussing sex and drugs to reviewing papers and mapping the Internet, the resi- dential colleges had a program built specifically for each stu- dent. Each semester, a very spe- cial group of people worked to- gether to help new, returning and transfer student deal with their problems.

BY JUAN PENA photos by john paul komasinski uring the hours of four in the afternoon and ten in the evening, the sound of a mob echoed throughout the University of Miami campus. What was it? Battle Creek Royal?The annual Coral Gables FleamarkeU Carnival? It was neither. It was the sound of the many intramural sports that were held on the IM field throughout the fall and spring semesters. Undergraduate and graduate students competed in such categories as Creek, CO- Ed, Women, or Men. In addition, students had the opportunity to participate in a wide array of competitive team sports, including flag football, volleyball and softball. The Wellness Center also planned special activities throughout the semester which gave those students with time constrictions the opportunity to play in one- time events. Students were well accustomed to staying up all night studying for a chemistry or calculus exam; but whoever heard of staying up for twenty- four hours playing sports and having fun? Well that is exactly what the annual Cane Craze festival was all about. The first weekend of October witnessed the ever popular Cane Craze, where students took a complete twenty-four hour study break playing football, soccer and basketball. The event provided such an unusual medium for students to interact with one another that it seemed almost sinful: staying up all night and having fun. It was no surprise that the level of confessions rose the following week. Jason Carrol, coordinator of Intramural Activities, said that activities such as Cane Craze helps students meet people early in the year and also helps them learn more about themselves. Moreover, Carrol added that the Wellness Center coordinated an ample selection of Intramural Sports that would add to the richness of the college experience!, The residence halls staff also got involved with intramurals. ResidentAssistants organized teams using residents from theirs and other floors, further adding to the sense of community in the residence halls. Many Fraternities and Sororities were also involved, competing in their own categories, as well as in the general tournaments. But in the past years there has been a decline in the number of commuter and women students involved in intramural activities. Consequently, Carrol and his staff followed through with special efforts to encourage such students to participate in the intramurals. llWe target all students, but commuters and women especially need extra attention. Commuters, since they dont live here, are usually unaware of campus activities, while many women feel that sports are dominated by men. My office is trying to get all students involved in intramurals. In a world full of tests, stress, and tension, it was Clear that for many students intramural sports provided an outlet for bottled frustrations, and an opportunity to kick back, chill out and Play Ball! volley from sophomore Dan Schuman during an intense match. bins pong was an event open to everyone. M3 ll of us look forward to the day when we pick out our gowns, hoods, mortarboards and tassels, since these are some of the most exciting things to do before our graduation ceremony. After all, this will be the final step in our journey here at the University of Miami. Regardless of how many years a student could take to earn a degree, all UM students will have had similar experiences and advice to offer. So what does it feel like to be at the end of a journey? Fifth year senior Ericka Chesnul thought good times were always hers to be had. No matter if it was a Thursday in the Grove or a night at home with friends, she will always remember having fun. This is one reason why she will be coming back to UM to do her graduate studies. Though she had her share of partying, she still wished that she had studied a little harder during her first years. Tony Ford had an experience worth remembering here at UM-- this is where he met his wife. He said that he is ready to go out into the world, and thanked the UM education department for their help with his hands-on experience. As a freshman, Tony was a performance major and greatly enjoyed singing in the UM gospel choir, but found his true vocation in the Classroom. Caroline Moon also met her spouse at UM. Though she was excited about leaving the school and entering the real world, she said she'd miss the good times she had. Some of those good times included stayin up until 4 am with her 24 Q2 gig: BY JON KEPKO roommates. Her wish to turn back time would be to not have come in as a business major. Life was sometimes hectic for Air Force ROTC cadet Darrin Davis, a fifth year senior majoring in Math and Computer Science. As a cadet, he was very excited about going into the Air Force and wanted to fly fighters, but was sad to leave the good times he had at UM. Graduating was a bittersweet experience for many seniors who left behind friends and memories for the chance to explore new horizons.

The temptation of buying something without paying for it is sometimes just too much for one to resist. Credit limits sometimes are too small. Bills get too high. Interest catches up with you, and nextthing you know you're way in debt. This is common among college students. According to the 1997 Student Monitor, two-thirds of four-year college students carry credit cards. The August 1999 Student Monitor dictates that BY JESSE ELGARTEN $329 on various items, including clothes, food, entertainment, music, books, personal hygiene items and school supplies. The average cost of Clothing in one outing alone is $112. Credit cards are not all about benefits, however. The bills add up and you may find yourself in serious debt. According to the Public Interest Research Group, sixteen percent of college age credit card holders pay only the monthly minimum oftheirbill. Nine percent pay their bill late. The average unpaid balance carried over to the next bill is $1,366. And eighty percent of students have no idea how long it takes to pay off a thousand- dollar bill with only minimum payments. Problems are common. There can be late bills, unpaid bills, exceeding a credit limit, or even a lost card. Other times the credit card company can be at fault. Senior Nekishia Lester had one such problem. lll paid my bill on time, but my credit card company said I had no money in the bank to pay. With the next bill, they sent me finance and late charge papers, she said. You know what they say about cred it cards and fire: Don't play with them and be very careful around them.

This is all a product of technology. Technology is constantly Changing and improving. By employing new technology, the University of Miami is also improving its teaching method. At the University of Miami, many departments in the College ofArts and Sciences are taking initiatives towards implementing these new technologies. With newer and more advanced computers being developed constantly, older models are becoming obsolete faster and faster. It is not just computers that are becoming obsolete faster and faster. Programs and other technological advances are becoming outdated as well. Technology is a constant upgrade issue, said J. Tomas Lopez, an Associate Professor and the Director of the Graduate Program in the Department of Art and Art History of the College of Arts and Sciences. According to Lopez, the Department of Art and Art History employed extremely advanced digital imaging and graphical design equipment. The capabilities of the four laboratories located on campus included being able to complete design projects, create interactive CD roms, construct billboards as big as 3 feet by 50 feet, as well as other possibilities. Every year we add to it...and in three years it is obsolete again, said Lopez. Then what we have isn't worth photos by ayshd momin anything. Technological advances permeated other departments of the College of Arts and Sciences as well. The Department of Theatre Arts, for example, used sophisticated design programs, computerized lighting control boards and specialized sound design computer equipment throughout their courses. Students in the Theatre Arts department used the CAD program, or the Computerated Design Program, to draw scenery and set designs in a 3- D spatial arrangement. They also utilized computerized lighting control boards. Kent Lantaff of the department said, These control boards are used to program light sequences. This makes theatrical productions much easier to present. You just tell it to go and it does, said Lantaff. Lantaff also explained the department's use of computerized sound designing programs. These programs transform a sound into a graphical representation, which in turn can be manipulated and Changed creating all sorts of sounds and noises. llOf course technologies Change and we upgrade to newer versions, said Lantaff, but nonetheless technology was unmistakably necessary in all aspects. With these advances, many of the departments in the College of Arts and Science depended on technology to carry out the learning process. Technology has become a vital part of the learning process. man Abby Loring checks the dimmer on the computerized lighting Rmtrol board before the production of the Dressmaker.

This field of study required a lot of time from its students. There were Classes, studios, labs and extracurricular activities involved in the five- year curriculum. As freshmen, students were warned of this in their oriehtation and expected to be ready to area outside of the school. The reason for this was to make sure that the students had a well- rounded education that could be used in the business world. It was too much for me.

Requirements for incoming freshmen consisted of an SAT score of 1 100 or higher, at least a 3.0 GPA and the student must have ranked in the top 100A, of their graduating Class. So with expectations and requirements like these, it was no wonder that architecture students spent most of their time in the classroom.

Ziff Placement Center, The center was designed to open as many career opportunities for our MBA and accounting students with prospective employers in their fields as possible, and to prepare them to take advantage of these opportunities. The Ziff Placement Center offered many programs and service for students seeking an Master of Business Administration degree or a Bachelor of Arts in the field of Accounting. As stated on the Ziff Placement Center web page, Through on-campus recruiting and resume referral services, the Ziff Placement Center provides interviewing opportunities for students. The center also provided resume critiquing for students who needed help the first time around. Professional development workshops, company presentations and information sessions were also frequent events at Ziff. The Career Library at the placement center was equipped with computer terminals, periodicals, and publications for job searching. These were used frequently by students ready for an internship or job following graduation. Many students took advantage of the services and programs provided by the Ziff Placement Center. Sophomore Drew Brennan said, The center was very informative and helpful. It helped me narrow down my future career decisions and see what was out there as far as business opportunities went.

Over time it became rundown, in a state of disrepair. Many Grove residents, churches, and community organizations such as the Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation and the Gibson Foundation anxiously sought to improve the health of the West Grove neighborhood and looked to UM to be a catalyst for that improvement. The University initiated the West Grove Project and sought to address the Challenges of the neighborhood through course-work covering a broad range of issues. It recognized an opportunity to provide students with an understanding of community issues. Guiding and inspiring The West Grove Project was Samina Quraeshi, UM's Henry R. Luce Professor in Family and Community. Henry R. Luce Professors encourage academic experimentation and creativity through the integration of knowledge and interdisciplinary teaching. Her focus engaged the participation of many students and faculty from different schools. Dr. Jose Szapocznik and the School of Medicine studied health concerns for the neighborhood while providing counselors to aid residents in making informed health care decisions. Professors Rocco Ceo, Richard Shepard and the School of Architecture were responsible for mapping the neighborhood and identifying community assets. They studied affordable housing solutions and mixed-use development scenarios. Dr. Greg Bush, Professor Robin Bachin, and the Department of History conducted studies and interviews with residents in order to compile documentation on the area's distinctiveness. Professors Michael Carlebach, Sanjeev Chatterjee and the School of Communication amassed a photographic record of the West Grove's people, places and culture. They documented, A Day in the Life of the West Grove. The Project evolved into an effort to promote the social, economic and physical renaissance of a distressed neighborhood. Resulting from the effort of everyone involved in the project, the West Grove now has the tools and skills needed to make the neighborhood healthy again.

In accordance with international universities spanning the globe, University of Miami sent students abroad while simultaneously educating those from partner institutions. Summer, semester, and year-long programs were available through the office of International Education and Exchange Programs in the School of Continuing Studies. Students may select from a variety of courses by 35 universities in 18 countries, such as Roman History in Italy or Film Studies in England. During the spring semester of 1 999, Caroline Mok, a junior, attended Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan. Her experiences altered her preconceived ideas of whatJapanese life would be like. You donit know how much is out there until you go and experience life in that culture, said Caroline. In the fall semester of i 999, the School of Continuing Studies began the Intensive English Program which allowed international students to imprOve their English skills by being linked with a mentor. Mentors were University of Miami students with previous study abroad experience. It is a very good program. I learned a lot and my mentor was very nice, said Colombian student Melanie Jaraj. The Intensive English Program enabled students to give something back to the international community that helped them facilitate continued learning about other cultures and languages, said Carol Lazzeri, Associate Dean and Director. The School of Continuing Studies had a variety of choices for students who wished to broaden their educational experience by learning from the many cultures of the world. I learned so much from my travel to Australia. I met many different people and got the Chance to experience a culture so different from my own Japanese heritage, said senior Yoko Matsui. friends have lunch during their trip to France. Catherine went to England to study at Queen Mary Westfield CoHege. uch more went on in the College of Engineering than just studying stress, strain and failure of materials. Another big part of the College were weekly labs which showed the students how to apply concepts in the real world. Each area of study in the engineering program: biomedical, industrial, mechanical, electrical,civil, architectural, and environmental had its own specific laboratory session and a machine shop available to all stUdents, regardless of which discipline they were studying. The biomedical lab helped the students see what things were needed in the real world by the medical professionals to help people live longer. One of the things most recently produced by these students and professors was a machine to test the life expectancy of a stent to help fix an aneurism. The machine used for this was designed and built by the shop with the specifications made by the biomedical students to meet their needs. The mechanical department offered two types of labs. A materials and mechanics lab, as well as the internal combustion specialty lab. The main focus of the machine till? tagsWeEs materials and mechanics labs was to expose the students to fundamental concepts useful in the mechanics and materials science, said Dr. Narendra Simha, Assistant Professor in charge of these labs. In order to accomplish that goal, engineering students used machines such as the MTS 810 materials tester with a data collector linked to a computer. The computer calculates how far a piece of metal can stretch and that factor determines its usage in real life. The internal combustion lab concentrated on finding a new way to power automobiles in the future. Their most recent job was designing a hydrogen engine based off the 5.0 LiterV-8 engine for the Ford Motor Company. Civil engineering labs focused on the failure of static structures, industrial engineering labs concentrated on the quality and cost of the manufacturing process, electrical labs studied the design and function of computer and electrical components. The parts that they have were donated by companies to try and influence students coming into the market place. Candido Hernandez, Director of Facilities, Fabrication and Maintenance, by jon kepko oversaw the College of Engineering's machine shop, which built parts for all departmental labs and met the requests of seniors who designed final projects. We have any machine ever needed to manufacture parts for any lab here in the College of Engineering, said Hernandez. A well known project done at the machine shop was the two-man sub entered in the Ft. Lauderdale Air and Sea Show. A Computer Aided Drafting lab was also available at the machine shop to help students design and critique their projects before they were built. According to Hernandez, extended hours were offered during the semester to meet the needs of the people who used the shop.

In fact the programs and schools are designed especially for this university to reflect the international community that exists. It was in the School of Music this ideal was exemplified in many ways. With a population of 740 students, the School of Music seniors were obligated to participate in a major performance by the end of their final year. Other students used performances as an extension of Classroom students study and paractice as well as allow them to experience a pleasant performance. With approximately 250 performances per academic year, it is guaranteed that the wide range of performances offered by the School of Music will have something that appeals to each student. Says Serina Guirantes, You get to perform often. lThe performancesl are especially fun when you get to perform tunes of your choice. Rather than driving into the City to face traffic and parking, University of Miami students could step out of their residential learning.

One of the great things about 0 u r university, committee, performed their various concerts, recitals, and forums in order to prepare them for the music entertainment world. Serina Guirantes, a sophomore student in the School of Music stated, Each time you perform you learn something new. That's what makes it so exciting. While these programs were learning outlets for the students within the schools, they were also serve as cultural enrichment for the faculty, general student body and community abroad. They gave others the chance to see what the school of music faculty and School of Music Dean William Hipp said, is the diversity. You have the opportunity to hear all different types of music being performed. And indeed you did, from Festival Miami, to UM's own gospel choir, the performances and the performers who graced the stages of Gusman and Clarke were of a wide range. Faculty, students, campus organizations and guest artists have performed at both halls. More often than not, the two concert halls, Gusman and Clarke, were booked with recitals, concerts and other photo courtsey by jazz banol performances presented by the School of Music. In some instances, there were two to three performances in a day. Every type of music was performed except for rap, Dean Hipp stated. As such, there was a little something for everyone in terms of musical preferences and time management. While some of us may take advantage of the hard work and effort put into these performances, it is never too late to participate in the cultural experience that lies at our feet. ersity of Miami Symphony Orchestra in September of 1999.

And yes, it was but one of them. Shani not only majored in International Studies, but took on Economics and Geography as well. As a freshman, Shani began the Model United Nations organization on campus. This organization gave students a greater understanding of how the real United Nations worked. Each student in the organization represented a different country and debated its social, political and economic issues. Shani felt that this was appropriate in Miami because of the many international students attending the University. '- On top of establishing the Model United Nations, Shani won a grant from the Circumnavigators Foundation to travel and do research around the world. In order to receive this honor, she had to first write a proposal, and then be interviewed by the selection committee. She noted this as her ultimate college achievement. Aside from the academic part of Shani's career as a student, she occupied her free time by playing the flute, and joined the University's flute choir. She took up playing as a young girl and continued on through her high school and college years. After graduation, Shani hoped to continue her studies in graduate school in the United Kingdom. Her prospects: Oxford, Cambridge and the School of Sussex, just to name a few. Shani attributed much of her success to her parents, and felt that they Were her role models. In ten years from her graduation date, she hopes to be working in an international organization.

With all of this I going on :in her IIfe, she was stiII able t0 d0 WEII and found that the greatest thing She learned In her four. years of coIIege was that you have to choose which battIes-I you fight and which ones you Iet the other man win. This was hard for her to foIIow because, Iike many peopIe, she did not Iike to be wrong or Iose a fight. However, while watching Oprah Winfrey one afternoon, she . discovered a few words of wisdom that would get here through any battle that she came across. Failure Is just God saying, 'Excuse me, but you're going in the wrong direction.' FoIIowing this advice, Racquel won most of the battles that She came across in her four years, large or smaII, and left a lasting Impression with the faculty and students at the Umversity. photo by staceyzspaIter a Antonio M.

Originally from Arlington, Virginia, Ben came to Miami and made an. impression on The Hurricane Newspaper staff. Beginning as a staff writer, Ben ascended the ladder of administration, ultimately reaching Business Manager his senior year. This position, which awarded him full tuition, called for his management. of the paper's entire annual gross income. Ben was not only involved with The Hurricane newspaper, but other organizations on campus as well. He participated in Alternas tive Spring Break his sophomore year and was a sited leader the following year. He served the Ecuadorian Student Association his freshman year as Secretary and as a freshman, Ben was the voice of a late radio show on WVUM. Not only was Ben involved with on-campus activities, but he also worked on projects in the community as well. He interned at Channel 7 News his junior year, where worked with investigative reporter Patrick Fraser. As a senior, he worked as the assistant producer for CBS network news in Miami. While working for CBS, he helped to create packages that were aired during 1'The CBS Nightly News with Dan Rather. Aside from professional achievements, Ben also extended a helping hand to the community by volunteering in llShake a Leg, a sailing for underprivileged kids. Along with all his involvement in on and off-campus activities, Ben managed to maintain good academic standing. He made the Dean's List three years running, and was inducted into the Golden Key National Honor Society. With such credentials, he was selected and attended the Harvard University World Model United Nations in England, and was also handpicked and attended the AP National College Media Convention in Missouri. He was also Chosen as one of 30 UM undergraduates to be listed in Who's Who Among American Universities and Colleges during the end of his junior year. He attributed much of his succes to his father saying, My father taught me that working hard and taking care of your family is the most profound statement you ca ever make. Following graduation, Ben had no definite plans, but saw himself sailing the Caribbean chasing a perpetual sunset. H hopes to Change the world, and was inspired by the verse, 1Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise from the.

Every Tues I I that are occurring on campus I as he started to look to the UnIveISIt as : ' fs-dream: To work at a large daily I l i ' . options and ultimately ended up in The Miami Hurricane office where he: eggr-I' work; I , - ;. . g , ked the bustle and work that went along with the job but In his sophomore y iridecided th h Wanteci to take things a steplfunzher and applied for the position of Sports Editor. Upon receiving the position, he was encountered with more responsibility and less time on his hands to maintain a social life but with his motivation and drive this posed no problem forlonathan. Each and every day throughout his sophomore and junior years Jonathan went to class, maintained an above average GPA, worked at the paper developing storiesl managing staff and writing articles of his own and when finished with all of that he was still able to set aside personal time to spend with friends. When Senior year came upon Jonathan he undertook his greatest challenge and became the Editor-ln-Chief of the paper, a position he regards as his most notable achievement in college. With this status, Jonathan oversaw each section of the paper, developed layouts, searched for stories, and tried to come up with new ideas to make the paper better. Working in conjunction with his staff and The Miami Herald offices located in downtown Miami, he puts together an award-winning project. Aside from working during the school year, Jonathan was also involved with the paper of his hometown, Buffalo, New York. Over the summers he interned at the Buffalo News as a sports beat writer, and while there he gained even mere insight into what he wanted to accomplish as Editor of the Hurricane. Jonathan also put much effort into his faith and volunteered at a Christian Kids Camp in New York. There he worked as a counselor in charge of games and organization, helping the camp run smoothly. When Jonathan looks back at his successes both in college as well as his personal life he feels it was all a part of faith at work. As a Christian, Jonathan looks to Jesus as his role model and fully understands that when you believe in something as powerful as that, anything can be accomplished. l photo by stacey spalter Amy Rosen Public Relations and Sociology Trumbull, Connecticut Renee Rosenbloom Business Management Potomac, Maryland iKristin L.

They have given me love, support, forgiveness, and praise every day of my life in every success and failure I have had. Never asking anything in return but my best effort and my happiness. I admire my parents and they are the kind of people that I hope to one day be.ll With that type of support, Matt accomplished many goals throughout his four years at the University of Miami and will continue to devote himself fully toward everything he undertakes. l photo by stacey spalter Sheyvana Valand International Finance and Marketing Jonesboro, Georgia Heidi Valladares Microbiology and Immunology Hialeah, Florida Michael L.

By Platon Alexandrakis t was the inaugural season for women's soccer in the Big East. The Lady Canes entered the Big East this year and faired well against the competition considering they were a very young team. Miami was able to clinch a spot in the Big East Championship but they lost in the first round to the eventual runner- up to the National Championship, Notre Dame. The lady Canes also used the new Cobb Stadium for all of their home games, which seats 1000 spectators and proved to give the team a great home field advantage in their games. The women finished with a record of 12-8-1 . The schedule was a challenging one playing high ranked teams such as No. 17 Connecticut and Division II No. 1 Lynn who the Canes shutout 3-0. Ten shutouts were collected by the Lady Canes this season. Miami was a very strong defensive team lead by defenders Deidre Bass and Lisa Gomez who were both named to the 1999 NSCANAdidasAll-Southeast Region Third Team, and were Second Team All-Big East. 1 Offensively the Canes were lead by forward Jennifer Sanchez who accumulated 16 goals and Nina Wathne who racked up 13 goals. Considering the youth of the team with ten freshman and twelve sophomores they will be even more exciting in years to come.

Miami scored their first goal in the 10th when Nina Wathne scored her first goal of the season beating UCF goalie Maria Baulus. In the 23rd minute Allison McWhinney took a loose ball, that came from the goalie's hands after a shot byJennifer Sanchez 0n the right side of the field, and put it into the net. The third goal came in the 30th minute when Deidre Bass took the ball down the field on her own, past the entire UCF defense setting up a one-on one with UCF's goalie in which Bass got the ball through. At half time UM had a 3-0 advantage and looked to coast to victory. Early in the second half Miami scored their last goal on a one-on-one between Lady Cane Lisa Gomez and new UCF goalieJessica Kuhlman. It was Miamifs Elizabeth Swinson's first start of the year and she recorded a shutout up until she was replaced by Rachel Elsby with nine minutes remaining. The win was a big boost for the Canes heading into Big East conference plays against Boston College and Providence. man Allison McWhinney 00 dribble: the ball down M eld.

WWWWMW, t mu: Wde 205 a , Wt 4;, Miami Hurricanes By Platon Alexandrakis i iami ended the 98-99 season on a high note and looked to carry that momentum into the 99-00 season. The Cane's first test was against the ninth ranked Buckeyes at the Kickoff Classic. Miami looked to show the nation that the UCLA game was no fluke and that they were returning to the national elite. The Canes showed just that by beating the Buckeyes by a convincing 24-12 score. Offensively the Canes were led by first year starting quarterback Kenny Kelly who threw and passed for touchdowns and was named MVP of the game. Santana Moss had three catches for 1 15 yards which included a spectacular 67-yard reception right before the half. The 1-2 punch of Najeh Davenport and James Jackson proved to to be the difference in the game by accumulating 170 yards, but Davenport was lost for the year with a knee injury. With a new coordinator the defense was better and more aggressive. Miami was lead by one of the best Iinebacking trios in the nation, Michael Smith, Dan Morgan, and Nate Webster, who combined for 12 tackles. We're really good, very good, said Kenny Kelly.

WWOIMI 2!, ? $ Florida ASLM Rattlers Miami Hurricanes By Platon Alexandrakis I -AA FAMU, next on Miami's schedule, was the Canes' home opener. The Canes looked to win easily, stay healthy and play as many reserves as possible. The Rattlers gave Miami a scare on their first play when they drove the ball 72 yards with ease and took the lead with a 25-yard field goal. But that is all they would get because the Rattlers were held to minus two yards the rest of the game. The defense was led byJeff Popovich and Matt Walters who each recorded five tackles. Special teams came up very special against FAMU. Aaron Moser blocked a punt which rolled out of the back of the end-zone for a safety. Another block led to an additional score and the Canes recovered four fumbles on kickoff returns. Andy Crosland also hit field goals of 22 and 32 yards. Ken Kelly who only played through half the second quarter hooked up with Santana Moss for a nine-yard touchdown and Bubba Franks for a three- yard touchdown. Many freshmen saw playing time as true freshman quarterback Ken Dorsey passed for a touchdown to fellow freshman receiver Ethnic Sands. Also freshmen running backs Clinton Portis and Jarret Payton saw extended play. Florida A8tM receiver Jacquay Nunnally said, Miami is ranked in the top 10 of Division l-A.

On a day of constant rain the Cane's were down 10-3 at halftime after squandering many opportunities to score. After being down 17-3 in the third quarter Miami stormed back and took a 23-20 lead with seven minutes left. On 4th down and 2 with 1:41 left and Miami up 23-20 Jackson ran to outside and looked to pick up the first down but the ball was spotted short. Instead of putting the game away Penn State was given another chance and they scored one play later with a 79-yard touchdown pass from Thompson to Fields and the Canes were defeated. Kenny Kelly threw a touchdown but was picked off four times and fumbled once. James Jackson became the first running back in 15 games to gain more than 100 yards against Penn State with 129. The defense was led by Nate Webster who had 20 tackles and a sack and was named Big East defensive player of the week. Edward Reed also had a crucial interception for the Canes.

Miami Hurricanes A East Carolina Pirates 22.22.22 By Platon Alexandrakis he last time the Canes came off a heartbreaking loss to a high ranked opponent and then played East Carolina they got beaten badly. As happened in 1996 after a devastating loss to FSU, the Canes ranked :19 in the nation went to play East Carolina and were beaten again after East Carolina had already weathered one Hurricane, Hurricane Floyd. The team and students were forced off campus for over a week and the game was played on the North Carolina State campus. Miami led 23-3 to in third quarter and looked to put it in cruise control and that they did, but actually forgot that they were still driving. The Pirates scored and took the lead 27-23 with 4:51 remaining. Miami could not convert on 4th down and the game was over and the goal posts came down. Offensively, freshman Clinton Portis carried the load and rushed for 147 yards while Kenny Kelly passed for 159 yards with one interception and one touchdown to Reggie Wayne. Defensively the Canes were riddled with injuries, having Dan Morgan forced out of the game, Damione Lewis, and Michael Boireau leaving the defensive line with little depth. When asked how he felt, Kelly responded, If I was to describe how I feel, the NCAA might fine me. as Miami defensive tackle William Joseph 010 applies pressure. 5 Carolina quarterback David Garrard 01 rolls out to 212 athletic: Carolina's punter Andrew Bayes had his kick blocked by Miami's Edward Reed and Nick Ward m tries to recover lock.

Miami Hurricanes :3 Florida State Seminoles 31 ByPlaton Alexandrakis j Did Miami have enough heart to make a game out of the annual match with instate rival Florida State? Coming off two straight losses could the Canes bounce back and be competitive against the N0. 1 team in the nation? Could they even win? The Canes were tied with FSU at 21 at halftime and the absence of suspended FSU receiver Peter Warrick did not mean a boring game. Miami had its own Peter Warrick in Santana Moss who had nine catchesfor 180 yards and two touchdowns including an 80-yard touchdown toss from Kenny Kelly. Running back James Jackson added a 43-yard run to set up a Reggie Wayne eight-yard reception for a touchdown. The defense held the FSU high powered offense in Check for the first half by forcing two turnovers an interception by Nate Webster and a fumble recovery by Al Blades. Offensive woes in the second half continued for the second straight week and the Canes did not put any points on the board after halftime. FSU scored ten more.

Miami Hurricanes F1 Boston College Eagles ' By Platon Alexandrakis C twas a new season for Miami, they would begin their Big East schedule and their goal was to win the Big East Championship and play in the Bowl Championship Series. The Canes' first obstacle was Boston College and all the talk was about the Hail Flutie pass. When the day was over though, all the talk was about the Canes' 28-point comeback, and the heroics of Kenny Kelly and Andy Crosland. Miami played its worst three quarters of football and were down 28-0 midway through the third quarter until the comeback began. Kelly hooked up with fullback Will McPartland for an eight-yard score cutting the deficit to 28-7. With 10:07 left in the fourth Kelly hooked up with James Jackson for a 32- yard touchdown and 22 seconds later, afterWilliam Joseph recovered a fumble, Jackson took the ball into the endzone from six yards out. Miami later tied it with a Bubba Franks touchdown and then with a 4 and 17 the Canes went for it and a hobbled Kenny Kelly threw a strike to Reggie Wayne setting up Andy Crosland's first career winning field goal.

Miami Hurricanes M By Platon Alexandrakis After the largest comeback in school history the Week before, the Canes looked to jump out in front early and not need any comebacks. A comeback was needed again but the deficit was not as large as the week before's. The Cane's trailed 13-0 at the half. It was the first time they were scoreless at home in the first half in fifteen years. The deficit was 20-14 when Kenny Kelly was faced with a second-and-six at the WestVirginia eight when he escaped the tackle of Antwan Lake and found a wide open Clinton Portis in the left corner of the end-zone. The Canes went up 21-20 and added another touchdown to seal the game when Portis had a run of 45 yards capped by a one-yard plunge for a touchdown. The defense was the story of the game for Miami with its four interceptions. Mike Rumph picked to passes off along with Leonard Myers and Markeese Fitzgerald with one each. Jeff Popovich also had his team leading third fumble recovery at the UM one- yard line in the first quarter. When asked about the team only playing one good half each game Franks said, It's been a roller- coaster season and we haven't been able to get into a rhythm.

This game was the difference of three million dollars which Miami has not seen from their football team in over four years. For the second straight year though, the Canes were on the short end of the stick. Miami jumped out to a 10-0 lead after a Crosland field goal on their first offensive possession after a 51-yard hook up between Kenny Kelly and Reggie Wayne. Andre King caught Miami's only touchdown on a four-yard pass. Kelly was then injured and freshman Clinton Portis who had 139 yards on the ground fumbled three times. The Canes had a total of six turnovers. The defense played a strong game but were presented with too many difficult situations to shut down a very potent Virginia Tech offense.

EV E E Miami Hurricanes By Platon Alexandrakis fter meeting six times in the regular season and the Canes taking five out of the six games, the Hurricanes and Seminoles met again in the Championship game. This would not be as easy for the Canes though, this was for the trophy, for the rings, for it all. The Canes trailed 1-0 until Kevin Brown launched a solo homerun to tie the score at one. Florida State then took a 2-1 lead with a homerun but the Canes came storming back in the fifth inning with five runs, three coming off a Kevin Brown double, to make the score 6-2. Florida State Closed the gap to 6-5 going into the ninth inning. The Cane's closer Michael Neu came in and struck out his first batter and made the second pop out. The last batter Neu faced, Kevin Cash, pushed the count to 3-2. Neu threw a wicked curve ball and struck out the side to win the game. Senior Alex Santos started the game and lasted six innings until relieverVince Vasquez took over in the seventh inning, setting up closer Michael Neu to finish the game. Its a great day and great win for our program, Head Coach Jim Morris said, Vm totally ecstatic. Senior Alex Santos Um throws a fastball to strikeout the side against FSU.

This year's team did not have the high powered offense like teams of the past, but it had a stifling defense and the players had a special camaraderie among themselves. In their opening game against Rice, the Canes fell behind early 4-0 but battled back and took the game 8-4. Gil was Miami's starting pitcher, and homeruns by Bobby Hill and Chris Clute ignited the Canes. Then behind the pitching of Alex Santos and Mike Neu and a homer by Kevin Brown, Miami beat the Alabama Crimson Tide 8-1. It was then time for a rematch and Darryl Roque pitched a strong game and led the Canes to the final game with a 5-2 victory. l'We are excited to back in the championship game, said Morris, and I am glad Warren Morris is not playing. Warren Morris dashed UM's homes of a third national title in 1996 with a two-run homerun in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and two strikes, The Canes entered the game looking to kill the ghost of Morris and win their third national championship. f I Nue H 0, puts the finishing touches on Alabama in cond meeting, sending Miami into the Championship X photos by daniel colcher I Roque 07, throws a curve to an Alabama batter during one of his five innings.

In the regionals the Canes expelled Bethune Cookman 15-9 avenging a regular season loss. Then they avenged two regular season losses to FIU by beating them 6-4. In the title game Miami played an FAU team that was riding a 31 -game winning streak. Miami expelled them 3-2 in the final game to advance and host a super regional series. A week later in a best of three series the Canes hosted Wake Forest. In the first game the Canes routed the Deamon Deacons 10-2 behind a dominating pitching performance by David Gil. In the second game the 1-2 punch ofAIex Santos and Michael Nue shut down Wake Forestis offense while Kevin Brownis 3-run blast lead the Canes to 8-1 win.

A slew of injuries, and improbable losses to cross county rivals FIU and FAU made this season look not as promising. Timely hitting and strong defense propelled this group into the regionals and all the way to Omaha and the National Championship. Injuries to starting catcher Russ Jacobson and starting pitchers throughout the season allowed improbable heroes like Greg Lovelady. Bobby Hill was the leader of the team with his record number of stolen bases, and Kevin Brown lead the team with his home runs. With injuries to pitchers, Vince Vasquez became a valuable player for the Canes being the setup man for closer Michael Nue. After losing one of the best closers in the nation last year the Canes made aJunior College transfer who was a starting pitcher a closer. Michael Neu proved to be one of the most dominating closers of the season. Despite not having the hitting power of teams past, the Canes were still able to win their third National Championship with strong defense, solid pitching and timely hitting. reliever Vince Vasquez um strikes out the side 3 up Michael Nue for the top of the ninth inning at Mark Light Stadium. out of the park.

It was founded at the University of Miami as a local group in 1962. It received the permission from the National Panhellenic Conference to become a national organization in 1974. Today there are 52 active chapters on campuses throughout the nation, all stemming from the Alpha chapter created here 38 years ago. The purpose of Rho Lambda is to honor those women within Panhellenic who have displayed outstanding leadership, ability and loyalty throughout their years of sorority affiliation. The Order of Omega was also founded at the University of Miami in 1959. The honor society recognizes outstanding fraternity leaders based on Character, integrity, and leadership. Membership is held to the top three percent of all fraternity men, making membership highly selective and a great honor. Both organizations tap new members twice a year, once at Homecoming and once during Greek Week. Each member serves as a role model to the Greek community to help raise the standards for membership, and a reputation of the system throughout the community. the Order of Omega tappings. the letter about the next extraordinary woman to be tapped into Rho Lambda. ahXIously wait for their opportunity to tap their future members. photos by krissy schmidt embers of Order of Omega congratulate Chris Bassler of Tau Kappa Epsilon on his acceptance the society. jreek honor sociato'es 31 3 pecongmg ScRoilastic .24le No matter what we chose to participate in outside of the classroom, one can never loose sight of the fact that our first priority here is to be a student. The Greek community increased the size and importance of their events which recognize scholastic achievement. The Panhellenic and Fraternity system worked together to plan two recognition events as opposed to the single event held just two years ago. The spring brought Apple Polishing. The Greek community Chose an administrator and professor of the year and the 1999 winners were Renee Dickins- Callans and Dr. Robert Moore. The rest of the event recognized the academic achievements of the Greek chapters. Awards were given to the chapters who's average GPA was above the ail-menis or aIl-women's average. Additional Awards were given to those students obtaining above a 3.5 the previous semester. The fall brought the Faculty Breakfast at the Palm Court. Very similar to Apple Polishing this event recognized students achievements during the previous Spring Semester. The Federation of Historically Black Greeks held an additional ceremony each year entitled the Silver Trumpet Awards. This banquet recognized outstanding academic achievements within their Chapters as well. Ike Kricsfeld and Karen Maerovitz present Renee Dickins-Callan with the Administrator of the Year award.

WW1: GAM MAiS 6t, gbldton alexanamkis vigil very weekend there were parties. Many times these parties were held on campus at the various fraternity houses along fraternity row. A party meant lots of people, lots of fun and sometimes lots of alcohol. Too much alcohol could become a serious problem especially when it came to drinking , driving and other misuses. So what did the Greek system do about this? They got help from a newly-formed organization, GAMMA tGreeks Advocating the Mature Management of AlcoholJ What we try to do is to teach the Greek system the correct ways to take care of people when drunk, says cochair Felipe Duran. Advisor Jennifer Brack said, by candlelight Basically, GAMMA gives Greek leaders who are dedicated to alcohonrug - related issues tchapter Presidents, Social Chairs, Risk Managers, etcj an opportunity to come together in a positive, non-accusatory environment to discuss risk management within the Greek system. Guest speakers were scheduled to tal k about drug and alcohol related topics throughout the year. Also, videos and handouts further enhanced the meetings and taught Greek leaders how to react to certain situations involving alcohol and drugs. Last spring GAMMA sponsored a very successful Candlelight Vigil in remembrance of the 216 people that died in alcohol- related accidents last year. 216 Greeks held candles for 216 seconds of silence. All of the Greeks who vowed to be responsible regarding their alcohol then signed pledges. GAMMA tried hard to make a positive difference in the Greek system by helping the fraternities and sororities deal with these serious issues. This year we will try to expand GAMMA even fu rther and go to regional meetings to see how other universities run their organizations, said Duran. bers of the Greek community candles for 216 seconds of silence representing the 216 students killed in alcohol-related accidents in 1998.

HSO woes 6:119:va gontm'ner the community n Unity there is strength. This phrase, written on the Haitian flag, characterized the Haitian Students Organization. Coming off of an impressive 1998-1999 school year in which they were voted Most Improved and Active Organization by COISO, the Haitian Students Organization, or HSO, was, according to Vice President George Charels, even more unified and active in the 1999-2000 school year. Community service projects, such as going to Camillus House and feeding the homeless, along with numerous other activities kept members occupied in their spare time. Along with that were social activities and fund-raisers done throughout the year. Haitian Unity Day in October was a day sponsored by the UM H50 and was a day when all the Haitian student groups of the colleges and universities around South Florida were invited to spend the day at UM eating, playing dominoes and listening to speakers discuss topics relevant to Haitian students today. To cap off the day, students attended a banquet featuring typical Haitian cuisine and speaker Dr. Antoine Moises. In addition, the H50 sponsored Haitian Cultural Week, which took place in March and was a Chance for other students to learn more about Haitian culture through various activities. Sandy Boisrand, HSO president, said, I see only progress in our future as long as we continue to have such d e d i c ate d members and an executive board as we did this year. Band of the Hour Wanker 6g anniela 30mm to a new beat he University's Band of the Hour and Color Guard has been an ever present force for years at each football game, bringing out the indomitable Hurricane spirit. This year, the band kicked off a new tropical image with floral uniforms. Michael Mann, Director of the Band of the Hour, said, llWe've had a very positive response to the new uniforms. Mann said the tropical outfits were chosen to reflect the style and spirit of Miami. Also, the uniforms were much cooler than the traditional wool ones. The 200 member marching band played at all six home football games. This year, the band also got the opportunity to perform on the road at Florida State and at Ohio State. Before each game, the Band of the Hour performed their traditional pregame show. During halftime, the Band showcased a new routine each game. Some past themes included swing, Latin, and Jimmy Buffett. The Band of the Hour also performed at a Florida Band Masters exhibition for local high schools. Over 7570 of the band members were non-music majors who had prior high school experience in marching band. Auditions were held in the summer before the start of school. The Band has progressed in many ways through hard work and persistence to get to the point where they are today.

The group performed their high-energy dances to R8xB, rap and hip hop music. As part of the performance, they presented a tribute to Michael Jackson, where the group of approximately 18 University of Miami students danced and performed to his most popular songs. In addition to this annual performance, the KAOS dance group performed at many invitational events. Last year, they danced at the Greek Extravaganza at Florida Memorial University. Through their various performances, KAOS was a strong force on campus and as a representative of the university in reflecting African-American and urban cultures. Tryouts for KAOS were held at the beginning of the fall semester and those who made the group attended practices weekly. The KAOS dance group served as a haven for the participants. Members formed bonds with each other and were friends outside of KAOS that used the group as a way to let loose and do something fun. I love to dance and KAOS is just a way for me to get away h from school, said Leannaf; Prendergast, Vice President off: KAOS.

Many students took part in the festivities and danced the night away. One of the main events of the occasion was a contest held for the best Salsa couple. In addition to this, lessons were given to those who were new at salsa dancing. Professional dance instructor Randy Atlas was there overseeing the lessons. Salsa Night was free to any interested UM student and many people attended. A great number of people showed up, said Nicole Sosa, Secretary of Dancing Ibis. Salsa Night was held to promote the group as well as Hispanic Heritage Month. The Dancing lbis originally started as a club to teach students different types of dancing, but it eventually transformed into a club that teaches only Salsa, remarked Sosa, ltMany students joined the Dancing Ibis group to learn the Rueda, a type of as precise as possible with moves, seniors Jose Torres and Nicole Sosa dance salsa while being watched by the judges. This couple received a second place award in the salsa contest during Salsa Night at the Rathskeller sponsored by Dancing Ibis. Hispanic line dance. The Rueda is a traditional salsa dance where couples form a circle and switch partners. This dance was one of the most popular taught at Salsa night. Dancing Ibis used their talents and newly learned skills to participate in many events and performances. Each year, the Dancing Ibis performed as part of United Nations Day, International Week, and Hispanic Heritage Month. The Dancing Ibis saw its membership more than double in the past school year. They became a well-known presence on campus. Dancing lbis's recent focus on Latin dancing, salsa in particular, has reflected Miami's local culture to UM students. Like swing music and dancing last year, Salsa became a new national fad. The rise of Latin singers such as Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez spread all over America, but was especially strong in Miami, with such a large Latin population.

Hurricane Productions sponsored many artistic events through out the year, including concerts, movies and live music. The organization was made up of many different committees which organized the year's activities all around campus for students to enjoy. Some of the more popular events sponsored by Hurricane Productions included the Tuesday night movies shown at Cosford and a new addition Network Event theater where sneak previews via satellite were shown about at the Cosford.

United Black Students began this forum in the 1998- 1999 school year. UBS president Charles Monterio said, Race 101 was started in hopes of achieving a relaxed atmosphere where people could talk about the differences that are found in the many races and ethnicities that make up the student body of this multicultural university, and to explore and celebrate those differences. Some topics discussed in the forum included interracial relationships, divisions within races and between races and misconceptions associated with certain races and why these mber of BS raises an issue the Race 101 forum. IIBS held Race 101 as well as other discussions to bring students together to deal with racial differences and cultural biases often encountered. photo by belia sawkar misconceptions exist and remain in spite of evidence against them. Audience members were asked to write their questions on a sheet of paper and hand it to the front where a facilitator asked the question to the audience. Afterwards, several minutes were spent in debate of the topic by the audience and everyone was given a chance to offer their opinion on the subject matter. UBS, which had over 75 members, sponsored many activities, including Martin Luther King Week, and the biggest of which was Black Awareness Month, or BAM. BAM featured speaker forums in which topics relevant to the African-American community were discussed, a talent show and to cap off the month a Comedy Jam and the Royal Heritage Ball. Ryan McDavis said, UBS has been an exhilarating experience that has aided in my transition from secondary to post-secondary education in a mostly non-black environment. 145: 345 Sports and Recreational Interest Club Federation photo by card Williams Front Row: Ed Silverman, Pamomkhamin Riyamongkol, Rhonda Du Bord, Matthew Burke iPresJ, Stephanie Schneider.

Eight teams of architecture students voluntarily participated in the exciting and challenging race. We don't get to cross the lake with a cardboard boat often, said Ushio Hiroishi, a fifth-year architecture student participating in the race. The students were required to build a boat that would carry them and their teammates across the lake as fast as possible. They were only to the finish allowed to use cardboard and duct tape. You would be surprised. Cardboard really floats, said Hioishi. AIAS organized the entire event with donations from the community. The categories of winners included first and second place, worst disaster and best design. According to Raquel Raimundez, a junior and member of the first place team, Kiki Osee, they worked on making the boat for two days. The entire experience was fantastic, said Raimundez. Chris Youngborg, a sophomore and member of the second place team, Silent Bob's Crew, said that they spent eight hours on their boat and they used about 29 hundred feet of duct tape alone. Victor Nieves, the president of AIAS and a fifth-year architecture student, said, The group is there to support architecture students as well as promote architectural competition. While most of the students did fall into the lake, a few didn't. Youngborg and his teammates celebrated the fact that their boat stayed afloat. 2 winning boat in the AIAS Boat ace, Kikiosee, tmeaning kick-asst, included juniors Racquel Raimundex, Mark Bell, Ligia Labrada, Mark Ruiz Fernandez, Richard Harris and Peter Blumenleld.

ODK included juniors, seniors, graduate students, medical students, law students, faculty and alumni who have exhibited outstanding leadership in their field of study and work. ODK was a selective group. This year, there were 60 nominees. Of these nominees, 28 tappees were inducted on October 25th. Initiation into full membership was on November 21 st. During the selection process, anyone could have been nominated, but each nominee was put forward in the selection meeting by an ODK member. The nominee was then voted based on his or her academic and leadership achievements. The tapping was a solemn and traditional ceremony. The ODK bell was rung during the ceremony as it was held in the classroom of the tappee. resident Racquel Russell leads ping procession with Karen Chuang, VP of Selections, and Sonia Borrell following. They rang a hell 0 in the classroom of each tappee as 4-3 gpart of the ceremony. 6:1 Daniela Donna new members Racquel Russell, ODK President, said, llThis year, one of our goals is to bring in a diverse group of tappees. We want people who specialize in all areas of leadership, from medicine, to scholarship, to theater. While tapping was ODK's major annual event, they also hosted an annual service project called ODKids. Each ODK member paired up with an underprivileged child for an evening, and as a group they attended a UM sports event. This year, ODKids took the Children to a men's basketball game. ODK also hosted a study break for its members during finals of each semester. The study breaks were a time for members to relax and socialize, said Russell. llBecause ODK members are so involved in other areas, there is a thin line to balance between too many and too little activities, said Russell, llWe plan on getting our name out there and maintain our school involvement.

Editor-in-Chief Jon Santucci said, Our goal this year was simple: to improve in each issue. I felt the last four issues before winter break were our strongest of the fall semester, and I think it was great that we finished out strong. In the spring, big visual changes came to The Hurricane, as the width of the paper was decreased by one inch. Because of this, Changes also had to be made to the graphics and text. This move was in keeping with the current trend to make newspapers smaller and easier to handle. The Miami Herald went smaller this year, so we decided to make the change as well, said Santucci. The Hurricane staff, led by Santucci, copy editor Shane Weaver, layout editor Cheryl Millbrandt, and news editor Chris Sobel, was dedicated to excellence in coverage of campus news and events. The staff often worked late nights before their bi-weekly deadlines. The Hurricane gave extensive coverage to such important campus events as Homecoming and student government elections, especially the presidential election in the spring. I was very pleased with the work of the news section on Homecoming, said Santucci. As part of their millenium coverage, the Accent section featured Top Ten lists in a variety of categories including movies and musical artists. The sports section also featured Top Ten team lists. In the spring, The Hurricane published a series on the construction of the new Ryder Center on campus. This was part of The Hurricanes continuing goal to cover a variety of events around campus and discuss issues concerning its readers.

Never could I have predicted the events that occurred, which have brought me to where I am today. When I entered the university as a freshman, I was a student set on getting good grades and making new friends. I was too consumed with the transition of living away from home with a strange roommate tl love you Alliell in an overwhelming city to think about getting involved in campus life. I had worked on yearbooks for many years and was even the editor of my high school yearbook, but the thought of joining a college staff intimidated me. Nevertheless, at the end of my freshman year I saw a flyer for the yearbook and decided to take a chance and go by the office. It was there that I met William Lai, a friendly guy who made me want to become a part of his organization. I just want to thank Will for starting me on my path towards continuing the IBIS legacy. He taught me so much about journalism and leadership over his two years as editor. Iwant to thank my family for all of their love and support. Mom and Dad, thank you for raising me to be the woman that I am today. I have learned so much from you both. You have taught me to be caring and compassionate, strong and independent. Your unconditional love and support gives me the strength to overcome any obstacle. Thank you for always standing behind me. Uncle Alex, you have been my role model in uncountable ways. By your example I have learned what success is and how important it is to be happy in life. Ifl am able to achieve anywhere near what you have in your lifetime, I will consider myself a fortuitous person. The selfless work you do for others is more than amazing. I feel extremely lucky to be a part of your family and your life. Aunt Sondra, I want to thank you for always being there for me. It was comforting to know that I always had family nearby that I could turn to. I will never forget our times at the beach searching for seashells and all of the advice you have given me. Dana, what can I say? You are the big sister I never had; one who listened to me whenever I needed a friend. Not to mention all of the experiences we have had together tDisney World, the Cape, Hershey Park and of course Europell. Even though there is much distance between us physically, you are one of my closest friends and an important part of my life. Aunt Marie and Bob, Uncle Tony and Aunt Beth, Aunt Debbie and Kenny, thank you for all that you have done for me. You have taught me the importance of family and I cherish my relationships with each of you. Alan 8t Company, I love ya, you crazy boys... stay out of trouble. And to my grandparents, if you are looking down on me, I hope that I have made you proud. I also want to thank all of the people that were like a family to me. Tom 81 Becky thank you for opening your home to us, especially this past year. You have always taken care of me. I am lucky that my parents have such wonderful friends. To the Sogegians, thanks for all the great times we had as neighbors. Melissa you will always be like a little sister to me. I also want to thank the Griffin family. I will never forget Sundays with your family, the many home-cooked dinners and the numerous events you have allowed me to be a part of. To my friends: Alison, what is left to write that I haven't expressed so many times before in the many yearbook autograph pages we have gone through? You are my best friend and the sweetest most honest person I have ever met. I have so many things to thank you for, but most of all, thank you for always understanding and supporting me. Not many people can say that they have a friend as loyal and as genuine as you are. I will treasure our friendship always. Felipe, you changed my life in many ways, giving me confidence and bringing out the best in me. We learned a lot from each other and developed a friendship that is irreplaceable. I just want you to know that I will cherish the wonderful things we experienced together. Good luck as IFC president and in the future. You are a great person and I know you will go far in life. Celeste, although we have taken separate paths and both lead busy lives, you have always been there to comfort me or celebrate with me the many events of our lives. I know that through it all, our friendship will remain constant. You are an amazing person and the future holds many exciting things for you. Allie, I have to thank whoever assigned us to Eaton Room 211. What began as a living arrangement developed into an unforgettable friendship. I am eternally grateful that I had you to turn to throughout our unique experiences in college. What would my time at UM have been like if I had never met you? Well, one thing is for sure, it would not have been near as exciting! I will never forget 36A Man?

Krissy, as much ofa pain that I was to you during Greeks section and as workstudy, I had fun working with you and becoming your friend. I will never forget walking home to the sound of the ibis snoring. Try cutting down on the caffeine every once and a while, you have plenty of energy without it! Thanks for listening to me and being a friend when I needed one. Daniela, wow, I bet you never expected the job you took on when you agreed to do Organizations!
