Letter From the Editorl 2905.35 hat this has been one exciting year could be one of the biggest atements ever. In fact, this could have been the single greatest year in ory. 7 . king a glimpse at some of the years most memorable events shows that this is definitely a great year: Lauren Williams winning silver in the Athens Olympics; the Medical School receiving a single donation of $100 million Inow the Miller School of Medicine in the donors honorI; the football team beating both Florida State and Florida again; playing host to speakers such as the Dalai Lama, Spike Lee and being the site of the first Presidential Debate between John Kerry and President Bush. y While all of those events made huge news for UM, just looking at i i he smallest idea of how momentous you have missed? All the plays and As You Like It. Megan B country for women's tennis Alpha Delta Pi. The offi the first new housin i The point of all this is that, no matter how hard you look, there is always more going on at UM then it seems. It is with that idea in mind that we decided to dedicate the focus of the 2005 Ibis to capturing as much of what goes on at UM as possible, stuff that is both highly recognized, like our section on all . the events around the Presidential Debate, as well as all the small events that nonetheless define life at UM, like International Week or Salsa Craze teaching students to dance in the UC. As I get ready to leave UM after four years, I have finally realized that as much as I tried, I haven't experienced anywhere close to everything going to school here has to offer. There are so many thing that I wish I could have done and seen that I just didn't get a chance to do. But I guess that is part of what makes UM so great, the fact that no matter how hard you try, you will never run out of options of things to do here. There's always some other program in a dorm, or event on the UC patio going on to keep you occupied. 80 here is to 2005 and the idea that at UM, there is always more to be seen.

While all the other students on campus were partying with CNBC and CNN at the UC or watching the debate from home, some students were getting a much different debate experience being event volunteers. Some were even lucky enough to meet political celebrities like John McCain in the Wellness Center. Photo by Elliot Chow ll ibis staff. When all the news stories are written about the Miami Hurricanes Football team, the reporters never miss the chance to ask the players what their feelings are about the game. But there's a much more to be seen than just the players' perceptions, most importantly how the students whose school pride is on the line react when the team plays. Luckily for UM students, the FSU game was no disappointment as UM once again beat the rival Seminoles. Photo by Evan Pike ll ibis staff. UM has long been known for its outstanding student athletes, like Lauren Williams who is the star of the 2004 Homecoming parade with her coach. While she sat in the spotlight for one night, it was easy to forget that she was still just one of the many students at UM, just one of many more impressive students to be seen.
