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.

While Wycleff Jean was definitely the most visible artist to play at UM this year, he was definitely not the only one. From Fabolous to a Battle of the Bands in the Rat, there was certainly more music to be hear at UM this year than ever before. Photo by Elliot Chow ll ibis staff. After the life of one of UM's brightest freshmen was lost to a traffic accident, students gathered together to advocate for safer streets around campus. Crossing US1 was such a normal task for students, that many of them never thought about it before. Despite the tragedy, there was a good ending as the county agreed to install a crosswalk to make crossing safe. Photo by Christopher Vasquez ll ibis staff. Being in a sorority isn't quite what it looks like on television. Take Delta Delta Delta for example: while they do party sometimes, their biggest achievement of the year is rasing thousands of dollars to help their philanthropy through a golf tournament. Something surely overlooked by most students. Photo by Elliot Chow ll ibis staff. After a brief rain-check, the 2004 Canefest helped students find out what organizations and activities are available on campus to get them involved. Looking closer at the event though, many students went for the promise of free food, pens and highlighters than a sincere concern about their involvement. Luckily, with 200 student organizations, many student found at least one group that they joined. Photo by Seanna Cronin ll ibis staff.
