Prague is the third leading City in the world tafter Los Angeles and New Yorkt for the fuming of major motion pictures. Prague was the only central European city not bombed during World War 11. Because of this, it's the perfect place to shoot fllms in real-life Romanesque, Medieval, Renaissance, Art Nouveau, Cubist, and Modern settings, said Program Supervisor John Soliday. Brendan Kahn, majoring in Motion Pictures, attended the program taught at the Czech National Film School, FAMU, in 2005. We took intense classes on fllm history and theories that influence international fllmmaking, Kahn said. Outside the Classroom, students worked on all aspects of fllm production. It was great having the connections available by FAMU, Kahn said. They even had their own casting agency and producers to help us reserve shooting locations. Student projects created on this program have been featured in nine national fllm festivals. The trip was Kahnts flrst to Europe. A week before the program began, he Visited Barcelona and Amsterdam. After it ended, he joined other students and traveled to Italy. 'The program was an amazing ftlm experience and also a great opportunity to travel, Kahn said. On weekends, the students accompanied Soliday on trips to Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, Munich, and t0 the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. They Visited the medieval cathedral, silver mines and bone church in Kutna Hora, the Renaissance fairy-world town of Cesky Krumlov, the Nazi camp of Terezin, and the world renowned Barrandov Film Studios. This experience changes the lives of everyone who participates, Soliday said. It's the high point of my year and usually the high point of every student's college experience.

LIFESTYLES SUMMER CURRENT EVENTS NICOLE TRECOXIBIS STAFF 0 Te rror In This summer, London was filled with events that will never be forgotten. On July 6, 2005, it was announced that London had won L 0 ND 0 N the bid to hold the 2012 Olympics. Londoners everywhere were ecstatic with the news and proud that they would get to showcase . their city to the world. Just after belng awarded the 20 12 Olympics London July 7, however, will always overshadow the happy moments of the d t . t H k previous day: Londonis public transportation system went under UH ergoes el'l'OIIS 8' ac terrorist attack. Fifty-two people were killed and 700 were injured as bombs exploded in the busy Underground and on a double-decker bus. In the days that followed, the bombed locations were covered with flowers, while posters of the missing plastered the City. CW It was only two weeks later that their transportation system was a . . 4 attacked again. Luckily this time, the bombs did not detonate. No hl$lhame$e one was hurt, and eventually the terrorists were apprehended by the 201? police. University of Miami senior Sarah Canale was in London for an internship during the summer and experienced the ups and downs of those few weeks. Of the Olympic announcement she said, I've never seen so many smiles on so many people's faces, but on the day of the bombings, the mood was so calm as people walked home, they must have been in a state of disbelief. Canale, like many others in London, took the Underground to work everyday. I could have been on the train where a bomb killed six innocent people, she said. I could have had a much more horrifying experience. I think this really made me realize Honoring the dead: Two minutes of silence is observed at the Kings Cross Station in how random the attacks are and Lond e week after terrorists bombed three tube stations and one City bust how no one is safe from terrorism. Stacy Fan, a third-year exchange student Visiting the University of Miami this year, lives 30 minutes outside of London and was home for both events. She said the Olympic bid was something that London was highly passionate and excited aboutf and was a sharp contrast to the mood after the attacks. Her best friend was in the city when the bombs went off. I was scared, and unsure if a bomb would go off near where she was, Fan said. Today London is back, almost to how it was, she added. iItisi not willing to give up the fight. We remain, as ever, opposed to terrorism vmtci i2 i and intent on fighting towards a more peaceful future for ourselves and future generations.

Believe it or not, most of the parents are happy to leave their kids at school. It is the cost of college that they dread. For the students of the University of Miami, moving in and The first day In the settling down was even more of a hassle dealing with three hurricanes: Katrina, Rita and Wilma. dorms rattles the nerves of parents and students alike. Many students had different experiences their first night away from home. 'tlt was ok, Zahra Derrick, a freshman student that lives in Stanford Residential College, said. Everyone was saying hi to each other. I missed my family, even though I had my friend from high school, said Janice Dias, a freshman resident of Hecht Residential College. It was different. Some students expected the dorms to be much smaller than they are, while some expected the dorms to be bigger. lt1 was slightly depressed by the size of the room, said Racquel Dixon, a resident of Hecht. When it is empty, and the walls are bare, they look like prison cells. Roommates are a big part of on-campus life. Many roommates are randomly placed together or are chosen friends from high school. Derrick, who is from Antigua, hadn't known her roommate from Puerto Rico until they lived together. She explains how they got along upon l meeting each other: My roommate a and I got along right away, said a Derrick, We talked on the phone before meeting each other. I believe that this helped us get along because we were able to get a feel of each other's personalities.

MAX KELERSTEINABIS STAFF It's 9 a.m., five days before new students arrive on campus, and I have to be at the International Lounge. I am one of more than 100 students who volunteered for what has proven to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I had the opportunity to become an Orientation Assistant tOAy During OA training I met wonderful people who care for the University of Miami as much as I do. Our Orientation Coordinators tOCsy were just fantastic in guiding us through and helping us out with what we were going to be up againstea huge mob of teenagers fresh out of high school, all new to the college scene, and all nervous and excited about coming to the University of Miami. 80 the time comes, and the new students arrive. Suddenly, my OA partner and I are responsible for giving the best possible college introduction to 30 new students. It was very frightening, yet exciting as well. Orientation is not an easy process. Students are bombarded with new information and the challenge of meeting new people. We are there to keep them pumped up and excited, and help them have a good time. Its not easy, but when you see them laughing and smiling after hours of sessions you know you've made a difference. Cheering and laughing, eating and joking, my experience as an OA helped me realize what a difference a friendly smile and an optimistic attitude can have on other people. I already can't wait until applications come out again because I want to go through all of this over and over again, knowing that I am impacting someone's life.

When it hit Miami as a Category 1 storm on August 25, 2005 it was predicted to grow, and grow it did -- by the time it hit the Central Gulf Coast near Buras-Triumph, Louisiana, it was a strong Category 4, and gearing up to become a 5. As the storm's eye neared New Orleans, City Mayor C. Ray Nagin called the hrst-ever mandatory evacuation for the entire city. Many, however, weren't able to evacuate for reasons beyond their control. Katrina's storm surge broke the levee system that surrounds New Orleans, flooding the city, and bringing with it one of the greatest humanitarian disasters in United States history. Other parts of Louisiana, and coastal parts of Alabama and Mississippi were all directly affected by the storm, with similarly disastrous results. The official death toll surpassed 1,300 in mid-November. Over 273,000 people were left homeless due to the storm. Damage caused by Katrina in New Orleans alone is estimated at $70 to $130 billion; the storm therefore surpasses Hurricane Andrew as the most expensive natural disaster in U.S. history. President Bush, after taking an aerial tour of the city, said, It's as if the entire Gulf Coast were obliterated by the worst kind of weapon you can imagine. And now we're going to go try to comfort people in that part of the world. 5,000 New Orleans' residents were still missing or unaccounted for as of mid-November. t Sources: wikipedia.org, whitehousegov PHOTOS COURTESY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LIFESTYLES HURRICANE KATRINA onpe, tWIce, X'S a HURRI CANE Students see upside to damaging storms: days off school PHOTO BY LAUREN KNIGHTNBIS STAFF Knocked down: Junior Trish Cooper gets in touch with Mother Earth while being floored by the hurricane's damage.

With the formation of Tropical Storm Zeta, this hurricane season brought the most tropical activity since 185 1. University of Miami students prepared for three hurricane threats this season: Katrina, Rita and Wilma. For many, hurricanes were a first; others have experienced extreme weather in the past. Christopher Hooten is from Kansas City, a region accustomed to extreme weather, particularly tornadoes. He asserts that he is desensitized to hurricanes since they are such an extended process considering that tornadoes appear without much warning. I'm not as afraid of hurricanes as much as respectful of their potential, he added. Though many agree that hurricanes can be scary, they do have their upsides. Kids all get off from school so those of us who study all too often get to have fun dorm parties, Tracy Robinson said. It is the best bonding experience I think. Hurricanes are a good opportunity to get some extra sleep and just relax a little bit, Emily McCollum said. UM students take comfort that the dorms are the safest places to be during a storm. While many Miami residents lost power for days, on-campus students only lost electricity for minutes. Preparations by these students were minimal, consisting of moving furniture and appliances and stopping by the C-Store for last-minute snacks. Everyone stocked up with water, Clark Rinehart observed. And the girls stocked up with chocolate. Off-campus students deal with the hurricane differently. Many were inconvenienced during Hurricane Katrina, with classes lasting until late in the afternoon the day the storm hit. Some even got caught in the infamous Miami traffic in the midst of hurricane-strength winds and pounding rain. Katrina taught everyone a lesson, and for Rita, the University was better prepared and cancelled classes ahead of time. Commuter student Alessandra Giannini jokingly said that Hurricane, snowstorm, tsunami, they're all great ways to get a few days of vacation. I would definitely prefer a snowstormeat least you can build a snowman afterwards or hit passing strangers with snowballs. Yes, hurricanes are a pain, and for many students new to South Florida, they have also been an interesting experience. But the truth is that though hurricanes have downsides, they have proven to be a great time for University of Miami students, especially those living on campus.

Students spend a weekend cleaning up Biloxi following Hurricane Katrinats destructive wrath T.J. EINSTEINXFOR THE IBIS I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. Its like a third-world country, I was told. You won't have electricity, running water, a place to sleep. Everything was up in the air, except the Vitals: 41 students, three days to Biloxi, back for Monday classes. We didn't know What to expect. Looking out the windows of the bus, the scene looked like something out of an apocalyptic movie: No one walked the sidewalks and barely any cars were on the streets. Trees still lay across roads and debris and trash lay piled in all directions. An eerie silence covered the streets. It was a ghost town. We arrived at the Salvation Army makeshift headquarters in Biloxi midday Friday, fueled on excitement and candy but very little sleep. After signing our lives away and being equipped with gloves, masks and plenty of hand sanitizere all in an effort to reduce the risk of germs and airborne disease - we made our way to the house we would be cleaning. When Katrina crashed into the shores of Biloxi, it sent a storm surge eight feet tall across the entire city. It didnit just dampen the carpets and curl the pages of the coffee table books-it picked up every possession in every house and held it eight feet above the ground, creating a stew of household possessions that was beat at and stirred by 150 mph winds for two hours. When the water receded, everything dropped back down to the ground to lie wherever it may have landed. The inside of every single home in the city of 60,000 was transformed into, quite literally, a trash dump-u-if the house was still standing, that is. Our job was to clear out the house. Everything had to go. As I approached the house, the smell was the fll'St thing i noticed. At first it was a slightly pungent odor, but that was from the street. The closer I got, the funk of 12-days-rotten food, mold, sewage, mud and decay, which had driven away a group of Marines a day earlier, permeated through my mask and nauseated my every move. Somehow Frank, the owner of the house, had lived on his porch amongst the chaos that was his home for the past 12 days and 12 nights. Looking around at the piles of Frankts 591mg; g9 covering nearly every inch of thw imagine that this was someone'se ome; l ,t Usingshovels, hoes, pitchforks, axes, sledgehammers and especially our gloved hands, we began to clear out the rubble and form a trash mound in front of the house that would eventually become as large as the house itself, it seemed. It took about eight hours to fmish, and we left Frank's house power-cleaned, bleached, dry and empty. It was hard to imagine Frank being able to move back in and live in that house after all it had gone through. It would probably, we would find out later, have to be torn down. Digging through the mess, we were able to salvage a few sentimental items for Frank to keep, the only tangible reminders of a past life before Katrina: a few framed family photos and a wedding album. His sister-in-law, who stopped by the house to pick up the photos for Frank's wife, would tell us through teary eyes that these were the only things that they had left of their children. This alone was enough for us to know we had made a difference in someone's life, regardless of the fate of the house. We repeated this routine in three more houses, finding in one of them the owner's wedding band which had somehow been swept away and lodged underneath the wall.

SARAH BAIRDHBIS STAFF l There is nothing like the first day of football season, especially when the season opener is against your biggest rival. For this year's game against Florida State University, three of my friends and I traveled to Tallahassee in hopes of cheering our Hurricanes to another win against our biggest in-state rival. During the six-hour drive, I was surprised to see that there Marion vonRooijen were places with hills, real grass, and even woods. Before Senior the game, we went tailgating at a friend of a friends What is your favorite part house. There were rows and rows of houses where students of the football games? The pre-party. livedeit was a real college town, unlike Coral Gables. The house that we were tailgating at had three times as many Seminole fans as 'Cane fans, yet they were playing beer pong with Miami students and helping one another pump the keg. For the second time this weekend I was taken by surprise. All of the Florida State students that we ran into were extremely nice. Miami and Florida State fans alike defended their team to the end, taunting and ridiculing the opposing team, but with a good heart and beer in hand. One girl, who was wearing a shirt that read Fuck Miami told me, l'I have no problems with you guys. You go to It's on: Amir Abdullah, Mike Weisberg, and Greg Briest put on their game faces. school there, so of course you are going to cheer for your team. Itls when OUR students are cheering for you that bothers me. As we walked to the game, we yelled out lCane cheers with pride, hearing boos and cheers in return. Once we got into the stadium, we hit neutral ground. My friends and I were surrounded by other University of Miami students, who cheered alongside us. At the game's end, we were all disappointed and the walk back to our car felt like an eternity. For the first time for as long as any of us can remember, we were the ones who had to walk back silently. Even though we lost to our rival for the first time in six years, I was excited. Football season had officially begun and we were ready for the games to follow.

LIFESTYLES CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS form +function Construction continues as University plans a new Student Center LORI MARIE TODDABIS STAFF Voices cheering C-A-N-E-S CANES competed with a peaceful melody coming from Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship on the other side of the Flamingo Ballrooms. The two vocal groups held meetings at the same time, but in different rooms in the Whitten University Center tUCl. The offices surrounding the ballrooms struggled to continue working because of the jarring mixture of chants and music. It's not an uncommon struggle in an overcrowded and overbooked UC. While the University currently has 267 registered student organizations, only six groups have permanent residence in the UC. The remaining groups hold meetings in general meeting rooms and ballrooms on the second floor. Because of the limited area available for meetings, many organizations struggle to make reservations and meetings often overflow out into the International Lounge, interrupting students who are using the space to study. 7,200 events each year take place in the UC, and this number rises each year, said Peter Maki, Student Government President. 1'The facility cannot do what we need it to because there simply isn't enough space. Maki, along with many other influential university officials and students, have been working together on the student referendum committee to write a proposal for a new Student Activity Center and full renovations of the Whitten University Center. The proposed new Student Activity Center will create 75,000- square feet for meeting rooms, ballrooms, programming space, a student organization center, a student media center, student services center, lounges, and other social spaces. The center is to be built in and around the existing area of the Rathskellar. Norman C. Parsons JL, Director of Development for Student Affairs and Director of Wellness and Recreation, has helped develop the plan for the new center, modeling it after the way in which the Wellness Center was built. The cost of . The new Student Activities Center wnll house the l0,000-square-foot Student Organizations Suite, study space for students, multipurpose rooms, lounge areas, galleries, and a student media center. New retail locations will also be on the lower level. building the center would be funded equally by a student referendum to the student activity fee and by the Board of Trustees. Maki and Parsons unveiled renderings of the new building to students at the Wellness Center, where free workout towels were given away to all students who visited. The renderings have since been on display in the Whitten University Center lower lounge. 1'We are facing two problems - money and Coral Gables, says Maki. The City of Coral Gables is notorious for having explicit restrictions on building and construction codes. However, once current construction on University Village, the School of Nursing, and the School of Communication Student Center The Rat will with two floop 7 and out. Studen , choose from other ta is complete, there should be cooperation between the city and university. Student government and the student referendum committee will place the referendum on the ballot to raise the student activity fee this spring.

I gave lthe Boardl the spirit talk on behalf of the students, says Maki. I think it went over very well.

Tom Murphy and Bruce Balensiefer have a little fun in the kitchen while preparing peoples' orders. TYLER SMINKEWIBIS STAFF The Rathskeller, commonly known to students as the Rat, is a pub-style restaurant serving up everything from burgers and chicken tenders to salads and wraps in a highly social environment. It's like heaven on earth, breaded and deep fried...with beer, said Rat waitress Natalie Duque. The Rat serves as host to events ranging from live bands and dance parties to comedy acts throughout the semester. In the fall, it is home to NFL Sundays. I like the Rat because it's one of the few places on campus where all of the students actually get together said sophomore Blake Whealy. Students can sit inside and play darts, pool and socialize with friends. While it may not be too common, you may even find a few students attempting to do homework or study while enjoying the Rat's atmosphere. The largest draw to the Rat, however, is the swinging chairs located outside. Recently seen on the UC Patio as well, these UM-orange, canopied swings allow students to eat and talk with friends while enjoying the view of the lake and steady stream of students. Although it is soon to be rebuilt within the new Student Activities Center, the Rat continues to be a social center on campus offering food and a place for students to relax between classes. t r K 3; M Chicken fingers for Table 4: Jose mon-UM studenb grabs complete orders from Paige Evans as they are ready to be served. tgtt WE mmwrww , Chillin' out maxin': Soph r Wmm Where's WVUM?

The resident assistants of floors four to seven of MahoneylPearson were instructed to evacuate all residents to floors one through three. Windows on the seventh floor of Mahoney, unable to withstand such a brutal beating, had shattered. With only minutes to get downstairs, students were given only enough time to grab the essentialsea pillow, a blanket, a flashlight, and a book. Everyone used their cell phones and iPods sparingly, unsure when they would be able to recharge them. The storm would pass, but students were worried that perhaps the storm would whisk away their belongings. Residents of the evacuated floors could not check on their possessions. What if their windows had also broken or leaked? My room flooded and smelled bad, junior Emily Sandhaus said. it wasn't fun. Many possessions are irreplaceablee from photos and family heirlooms to class notes. Downstairs, the lobby was like a giant slumber party. Students were sprawled out all over the floor under their covers, some more prepared than most with air mattresses. One good thing did come out of this- the experience gave students who were usually segregated by diverse interests and course tracks had an opportunity to have something in commonethey were all Victims of Hurricane Wilma. Students could strike up a conversation or join in a board game with just about anyone and feel more than welcome. Going through Hurricane Wilma in the dorms was definitely an experience llll never forget, sophomore Mallory Sosinski said. its so different to go through something like that with a few hundred other people rather than on your own. Stanford and Heeht were fortunate enough to have power restored very quickly. Mahoney and Pearson had to wait about 24 hours. Until that moment of rejoice, students took as much advantage of the generator as possible, even though only one of the two generators kicked in. Once the sun set, residents showered and dressed by the luminance of a flashlight. Until bed time, everyone socialized and did homework on the cool tile of the hallway floors. The doors to the outside were opened to create a refreshing breeze. Just hours and even days after Wilma passed, the weather was gorgeous. A cold front gave students the opportunity to play sports and read outside. The patios were utilized by lnternet-hungry students as the wireless signal was restored before the wired service Many used the Internet to search for last minute flights home, but for those who stayed, this week off from school could be used productively to get ahead in reading, or as most used it-to rest. It was actually a lot of fun the first few days, at least after we got power back, hanging out with my friends, watching DVDs and just bonding, Sosinski said.

LIFESTYLES HURRICANE WILMA stormy schedules Wilma blows Class, Homecoming, and the finals schedule out of sync Hurricane Wilma was the 21St named storm of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. The storm was responsible for 60 deaths - 35 in Florida. 12 in Haiti, eight in Mexico, four in Cuba, and one in Jamaica. The eye of the storm made landfall directly over metropolitan South Florida at10130 am. on Monday, Oct. 24. Many residents had already tost power by this time. Florida Power 8t Light reported that 3,241,000 customers lost power during the storm - with 956,500 of those in Miami-Dade county. Many customers and students were out of power for over a week, some for more than 20 days. The University of Miami Coral Gables campus closed at 3 pm. on Sunday, Oct. 23 and classes were cancelled for the entire week. PHOTOS BY TIFFANY BOJERSKVIBIS STAFF Holey moley! Matt Berry and Mike Orzel find one of the many trees in their front yard that did not fare so well during Wilma. CARA DAVISABIS STAFF The passing of Hurricane Wilma through South Florida in late October disrupted the lives of University of Miami students for up to several weeks. Students were left in their residences without electricity, unable to work, or attend classes. Some students opted to leave their powerless off-campus residences and bunk with friends who live on campus. Senior Brian Ewald took advantage of his dormitory connections during the two weeks it took to restore power to his house. Why would I want to stay home when there is air conditioning and cable TV on campus? he asked. University residences experienced restoration of such utilities before most area residents, thanks to university generators. Some resident students bemoaned the lack of cable television in their dorm rooms during the period immediately following the storm, while other students spent hours reading and studying in the library or University Center just to take advantage of lights and air conditioning that were not available in their homes. Many students off-campus, especially those who commute from Broward or other northern locations, experienced power outages for several weeks and had extreme difficulty commuting to class when the university reopened. The storm also disrupted Classes at the Coral Gables campus for a full week. As a result of the delays, Classes were severely backed up. Many professors rewrote course syllabi to accommodate for the missed Class periods. I missed two exams during that week, junior Leann Casey said. The professors decided to put more material on the tests later and it was harder to study for them. The class cancellations also severely affected the December fmal exams schedule, erasing reading days and extending exam periods entirely. Many students found this Change hard to deal with since, in some cases, it would require students to take several exams per day during shortened time periods. Finally, the storm put a damper on Homecoming activities, causing the postponement of a free concert by The Roots, along with other scheduled Homecoming celebrations. Those activities were rescheduled for early December. Time to relax: Danny Porter and Matt Berry, seniors, lay back and chill in front of their bonfire following the storm.

Hurricane Wilma affects many of our Homecoming events PHOTOS BY SAMANTHA YANOFSKYABIS STAFF Do Re Mi: Ashlee Daigle and Sandra Alvarez participate in the Alma Mater singing competition for the Engineering Advisory Board. CHRISTINA GUZMANHBIS STAFF When Hurricane Wilma barreled through Florida in October, the storm not only left millions of residents without power for weeks, but also dismantled Homecoming plans at the University of Miami. Wilma has thrown everything off, sophomore Gary Robillard said. Assignment dates are conflicting and it took the fun out of Homecoming week. Due to the cancelation of classes for a week, Homecoming events, which were scheduled to take place from Oct. 22 through Oct. 29, were either rescheduled or, unfortunately, canceled. Hurricanes Help the Hometown, Homecoming King and Queen, and O-Cheer were canceled due to an already full student calendar and responses that the Homecoming committee received from student organizations, said senior Yadelene Riesgo, Homecoming chair. Rescheduled events included the Alma Mater Singing Contest and Spirit Tree Ceremony moved to Nov. 3. Sebastian the Ibis's birthday celebration, celebrated at a tailgate for the first women's basketball game on Nov. 18, and the Hurricane Howl pep rally which was rescheduled to Dec. 2. The situation is sad on account that we were not able to have a full-blown Homecoming, Riesgo said. However, we are trying our best to keep spirits at UM up and have tried to reschedule the events that are biggest on Spirit. Students cooped up indoors both in dorms and in their off- campus homes due to the Citywide 8:00 p.rn. curfew found relief at the football game versus North Carolina Oct. 29 at the Orange Bowl. After spending a week without power it was nice to go out and forget about the storm and get back in the spirit of Miami football, junior Whitney Resler said. The game also brought together Miami residents who were suffering from cabin fever. llln the aftermath of a devastating storm, any type of diversion to take your mind off of reality was a much-needed break, junior Jodie Barkin said. It gave both the UM community and the greater community of South Florida a team to rally behind and celebrate with. Other hurricanes this year also affected student morale. In late August, Hurricane Katrinals winds knocked down the Spirit Tree, a large banyan tree located by the Rock. The tree was one of the centerpieces of Homecoming celebrations. I think they are missing something without the tree there, senior Stephanie Torre said, referring to the Iron Arrow tradition of inductees beating a drum near the tree. Even though many Homecoming events were rescheduled to keep up the UM spirit, many students still felt it difficult to return to normalcy. Thanks to all of these hurricanes, Robillard said, chis year feels dead. Alma Mater 8c Spirit Tree Sing-song tlefD: Members of Federacic'm de Estudiantes Cubanos take part in the celebration.

Several hundred students congregated on the patio for the concert. It is the first time I have seen so much of the student body together besides at football games, said junior Angie Ramos. Other students opted for a more relaxed setting and gathered around Lake Osceola. They enjoyed music in the background while still being able to socialize with friends for what might be the last time before final exams and winter break. Not many schools can offer such a beautiful December evening. The explosion of the grand finale in the sky signified just the beginning of the night. As stated at MTV.com, The Roots's live shows are among the best in the business. They did not disappoint. The show was more difficult to see on the patio than when Hurricane Howl is held on the green and the audience can surround the stage a bit more, but the crowd didn't seem to mind. The electrifying sounds of instrumentals mixed with hip-hop vocals needed only reach the ears of the audience. The impact of the concert could be measured in decibels, especially when The Roots went into a medley of cover songs, such as Kanye Westis Golddigger. A group of students responded in unison, Amazing! following the conclusion of the concert. Music from The Roots will now be flooding the iPods of UM students. The Roots is an awesome band, freshman Alex Coulston said. I highly respect them. Some lucky students who stayed after the show caught souvenirs, such as drumsticks, to remember the night forever.

LIFESTYLES HALLOWEEN The That Doesn't End NATALIE GELMANNBIS STAFF Even though Halloween fell on a Monday, just a week after Hurricane Wilma hit South Florida, many students did not let it ruin their plans for a fun night. Miami has a bit of a track record for extravagant Halloween celebrations and this year was no exception. While some students escaped to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Orlando or tried to head down to Fantasy Fest in the Keys before it was canceled, many stayed in Miami and either relaxed or went out to party. There were a lot of costume house parties all weekend long as well as on Halloween night, but the real place to be on Halloween was Coconut Grove. The Grove has long been Miami's usual hotspot on Halloween, especially for students, since it is so accessible. It gets a huge crowd dressed in a mix of risque and unusual costumes from the ever-popular Victoria's Secret angel t0 the less obvious costumes e- such as a Freudian slip. If you went to the Grove you were guaranteed an interesting night at the least. Halloween night the Grove turns into Miami's biggest party, juniorJoe Paquette said.

At its quietest times, the area contains only some tables and scattered students on their way to class. At its busiest, it is packed with crowds enjoying the music wafting from the Patio and the tables full of things to see and buy. One signature of the UM breezeway is the stall that's set up every day where a local vendor displays their jewelry and other eye- catching goodies. No girl can just walk by without checking out the sparkling earrings or the colorful necklaces, or sometimes without stopping to consider buying an orchid. On those busy days, the tables that line the hallway host student organizations, college representatives hawking their goods twhich range from newspaper subscriptions to class ringsl and the many Greek organizations on campus. Not only are there students 'tablingl but there are those wonderful people that we all appreciate tand I'm sure quite a few of us have been in their shoest e that shove flyers into our hands.

The best thing about the breezeway is that I get to see a lot of my friends that I dont see very often, said senior Vanessa Krause.

Whitney Bloom, Assistant Director for the VSC, informed us that iUM's1 donations were given to the following local charities: Salvation Army, South Miami Head Start, Dr. Whigham Head Start, Head Start Colonial Drive, and the CHARLEE Program.

LIFESTYLES INTERNATIONAL WEEK LWeek kicks off With an Eastern flare DANIELLA SUAREZNBIS STAFF International Week is a great way for students to become aware of different nationalities that comprise the University of Miami. Many students, such as freshman Scott Jordan, were impressed with this year's l-Week celebration. International Week was a smashing success, Jordan said. I learned a lot about the cultures of other nations and people. It was a lot of fun meeting people who came from different backgrounds and was definitely a highlight of the year. The week-long celebration kicked off with the much anticipated Asia Night. The night began with classical dances, representative of the most ancient dances of India. Incense created an ambience of being somewhere far from Miami. A Thai boxing group performed several martial arts moves, accompanied by a traditional wind instrumental music. Contemporary Indian songs entertained the audience, and although the songs were in Hindi, many people sang and clapped along. The lively music psyched the audience up for UM's Hurricane Bhangra, an animated and energetic group of dancers that move to the rhythms of present-day songs and beats. The night continued with a fashion show featuring clothing customary to different regions of Asia, ranging from Mongolia to Japan to Thailand Some outtits were representative of what kings and queens would wear, while others showed modem trends. Of course, the celebration wasn't complete without a dragon dance. Students interweave a dragon dance with a kung fu routine that was super intense. The night ended with a hip-hop performance. Overall, Asia Night was thoroughly impressive. The idea was great and I think many have become more aware of cultures and nations that are not brought up a lot in our Westernized perspective, said sophomore Raveesh Richard. I'm excited to see what's to come, freshman Emily McCollum added. Though Asia night is over, I-Week has just begun!

From the onset, colorfully patterned and decadently bejeweled costumes were reflected from the audience's awestruck eyes. As the Parade of Nations started the International Week festivities, we were granted but a glimpse of what was yet to come. From traditional Mongolian Clothing to itty-bitty Carnaval costumes, the campus was dotted with sophisticated fashionistas, the likes of which even South Beach has not seen. According to junior Donald Matsuura, the clothing at I-Week was defmitely a big change from the designer clothes that you usually see students here wearing. The members of the Asian American Student Association tAASAl and Indian Student Association GSAI showcased different styles of dress from various Asian cultures in a fashion show. Both traditional and modern dress were introduced and described to educate the audience. The tricky but beautiful art of tying a sari was also demonstrated. Middle Eastern Night was not to be outdone, however, with their belly dancing outflts and various forms of wedding attire. In true COISO spirit, students from different cultures joined forces to put on the highly successful African Student Union fashion show. HOT STYLES FROM ACROSS THE POND Senior Matthew Pineda, a member of both FSA and AASA raved, Ilit was interesting to see my fellow classmates dressed in the traditional clothes of so many different countries. I defmitely learned a great deal about appreciating others and I feel 1-week does the best job on campus of promoting the diversity and culture that The University of Miami is all about. The clothing that each of these countries represents is not simply costuming for special events. They are accurate reflections of the lifestyle, climate, landscape, and diversity of those countries. In a short week's time, we were able to circumnavigate the globe and witness each of these cultural attributes.

Just days after 200 workers showed up for a strike vote at the Episcopal Student Center on campus, chants of Si se puede C'yes we can l and UNICCO escucha, estarnos en la lucha tUNICCO listen, we are in the fightl echoed up and down the street. Workers had been struggling for months in their attempts to work with the Service Employees International Union tSEIUl to form a union, increase wages and improve working conditions. At the time, most workers made between $6.30 and $7.00 an hour with no health benef1ts. UNICCO actively pursued workers trying to put a stop to union organizing. The National Labor Relations Board tNLRBt issued complaints against UNICCO Services and conducted a thorough investigation for interfering with, restraining and coercing employees who support the union. Many faculty members openly supported the strike by holding their classes outside. Faculty supporters also wore t-shirts and posted signs in their offices that read, Faculty supports the strike. Members of the student organization Students Toward a New Democracy tSTANDl staged events to try and educa e campus and rally support. A 500- BQon march through the campus ended at Sunset Place in support of the X strikin ianit . 1 g1 10rs. I am here to support lthe janitorsl because I am privileged to have a voice and I feel the need to use it for them, junior Bernardita Yunis said. Other students however, found the strike to be an annoyance and detrimental to their academic activities. A protest is fme; it's a basic right, Ryan Fell, a junior, said. But interfering with the school's affairs and classes is imposing and trampling other's rights for the sake of their own. ; While the University originally took a stance of neutrality, President Shalala formed an internal work group that gathered information on wages and healthcare beneflts 0f the local market. After 25 days, the groiip resolved to raise the wages for all subcontracted employees to a minimum hourly wage of $8.00 an hour. However, according to SEIU, the strike continued because the university did not request that UNICCO obey labor laws or resolve labor rights Violations and workplace safety issues.

The Beaux Arts Festival was created in 1952 to help promote interest in the fine arts in the community. L Since its conception, over $3 million have been raised from the festival for the museum. These funds are used to provide museum field trips for xunderptivileged elementary school students. The festival attracts artists from all over the country and has eleveh categories for entry. Beau Tudzzirov, a digital artist from Fort Lauderdale, attended the festival for the hrst time this year. I am fascinated by the subtleties of different wines capturing light and essence within a two dimensional plane, he said. On the other hand, Jacqueline Roch is anything but new to the festival and the university. She has taken home four first places and two honorable mentions from the Beaux and has won countless other awards in the industry. As a University of Miami Alumna tBFA 1988i, winning first place at the Beaux is an exciting experience for her.

The tables are covered with tablecloths and candles, setting the mood for an evening of spoken word. After a live DJ spins a mix of hip-hop, rap, and RSIB for half an hour, the show begins. Ten students from the University of Miami take the stage to read their most private thoughts in front of peers and a guest artist, spotlighting their personal and emotional weaknesses. In poems that are at times preachy, funny, nest, sexy, and sensual, you get a taste of how that writer defines truth and reality. You're nervous, but as soon as you hear your voice you calm down a little, it's something else entirely, said junior Omar McIntosh, a psychology major who reads at the spoken word night regularly. Once you see all those faces looking at you and expecting something, it's a whole different world, which is something hard to explain and something hard to understand. T 1e evening is a safe place to express how hurt you were by your ex or to read one of the poems you scribbled in the margins of your math notebook. No matter what the message of the artist is, the audience is receptive and energetic. I was in the audience and my friend performed. I definitely saw a different side of him that night, said senior pre-med student Nicola Sarohia. Everyone was really well spoken and expressive, and they made me think about manifold issues pertaining to race, gender, politics, and even love. The night, organized by the Rathskeller Advisory Board, is or V in its second year, but has featured such well-known spoken word artists as Shihan, J. ivy, and Taylor Mali. It often commands a regular crowd of over 100 people. It is a great place to meet others interested in spoken word and learn how to be honest about your feelings. You may even gain the courage to share your most intimate thoughts with all of those eyes staring at you. There are plans to keep this I...- 95 spoken word night on campus for years to come.

DUN THE WORLD IN 25 FUNDRYS Students and special citizens travel around the world in an afternoon of fun MELODIE MENZERABIS STAFF For the past 25 years, University of Miami students have been organizing a day of enjoyable events called FunDay, developed for the developmentally-challenged citizens of the Greater Miami community A team of 27 students worked year-round to make the big day happen. The Chairpersons, seniors Paula Georg, Paty Escuder and Nichole Starr, chose the executive board at the beginning of the fall semester. After the board was chosen they went to work, meeting every Wednesday night throughout the semester to plan the event. It was very time consuming throughout the semester, but all the hard work paid off because it turned out to be such a success, said senior Executive Board Member Jessica Linick. Fundraisers were held to raise money for the event, including two at Gameworks and an auction during a basketball game. The student board created the theme, Around the World in 25 FunDays, designed the logo, recruited student volunteers and group leaders, and organized each of the flve rotations. They included an American barbecue, with delicious hamburgers and hot dogs; a European fun fair, complete with a dunk tank and bounce house; Asian arts and crafts; a South American mystery theater, where the citizens learned to salsa; and an African music therapy session. Citizens rotated to each station and got their passport stamped. The radio station Y-100 joined in the fun and provided music for the barbecue. Everyone got a chance to have their picture taken with a police car or a fire truck after lunch. My buddy got his picture taken on a police motorcycle, said sophomore buddy Stacy Walsh. He even got to wear the helmet and everything. At the end of the day, the student volunteers and board members were tired and sunburned, but the smiles on each and every special citizenis face were well worth the hard work. PHOTO BY V.

Held at Gusman Hall, students, faculty, and guests watched as the contestants answered questions, walked in their glittering evening gowns, and were entranced by various talents. Although most performers sang, the contestants showed 21 variety of qualities through the rounds of easualwear, swimwear, and eveningwear while answering some thought-provoking questions. tallying scores took longer than expected and resulted in an impromptu perfomiunce by two former Miss Floridas, one from 1998 and one who just competed in the Miss America Pageant. While they entertained the crowd with such recognizable tunes such as A Whole New Work ant Under the Sea, contestants awaited the results. Senior Sarah Pachter was hnally crowned Miss UM. Majoring in music and whole-heartedly involved in singing, dancing, teaching and life at the University of Miami, Pachter was a natural winner. While she campaigned highly for support and a win on The Facebook and through friends, it was her talent and her holiest answers that stole the judges' hearts. As winner, Paehter received a scholarship and will be competing in the upcoming Miss Florida Pageant. LIFESTYLES ENTREPRENEURS H W 9W1 f Wu 3'31in W SPRING BREAK Sun, snow, and... bee costumes?

Here at the University of Miami, studentst Spring Break plans are almost as diverse as the students themselves. Florida has plenty to offer students who wish to stay nearby. Many students spend the week on the beach and in the Clubs and bars in Miami, and all around South Florida.

LIFESTYLES SPORTSFEST TAKE IT TO HOUSE Residential ELY FERNANDEZABIS STAFF Colleges battle For the f1fth year in a row, Hecht Residential College took home the beloved SportsFest trophy. An annual tradition at in a field-day for college students UM, teams from the Apartment Area, Mahoney Residential College, Pearson Residential College, Eaton Residential College, Stanford Residential College, and Hecht Residential College come out to compete in a series of events stretched over one competitive weekend. The different areas of on-campus housing each design t-shirts as a building and then again as individual floors or teams. l'I really feel like it brought everyone together. I got to meet a lot of the girls on my floor and in my building, said freshman Patricia Tuma. Meetings were held weeks before the opening ceremonies to discuss who would participate, sign up for events, and create chants and slogans. While creating team names riddled with wit and innuendo was difficult, it was nothing compared to battling the dozens of fierce teams all longing for the title of Number One . As the entire campus was overrun with tournament-style events of horseshoes, obstacle courses, soccer, and sudoku puzzles, on-campus residents rushed from game to game to play or just cheer their fellow residents on. As teams were eliminated in each round of play, the competition became more and more brutal. Making it to the second or third round in events like volleyball and flag football was hard enough for most teams, but the timed events, such as the obstacle course, were nerve-wracking for everyone. Every obstacle course competitor came head to head with the dizzy bat. As the competitors spun around, they were subjected to the chanting and howling of rival teams with every turn.

ALEXANDRA VASQUEZNBIS STAFF As one of the main expectations from your college degree, getting a job and starting a career is a task that most students work towards through their years at school. However, to the advantage of students and employers alike, on one day each semester, it is possible to match the perfect job to the perfect prospective employee at the Career Expo, which is sponsored by the Toppel Career Center. On this day, more than 170 corporations and government agencies ranging from the Lehman Brothers to Pflzer Incorporated t0 the FBI to U.S. Customs and Border Protection gather at the University of Miami's Wellness Center to tap into the University's greatest resource e its students. A lot of people see college students as cheap labor e people who have to put in their time in order to advance their careers. We see it differently. We give college graduates a good job at a good starting wage and encourage advancement, said Bruce Katz of First Investors Corporation. Like most employers at the Career Expo, First Investors Corporation is looking for motivated students with a broad range of skills. Many employers also look for sophomores and juniors to fill internship positions which eventually lead to full-time positions after graduation. As for the students, most who attend the expo are open- minded and interested in attaining an opportunity to gain experience and broaden their networks. I am a history major open to any job possibility, said senior Zachary Johnson. I came to the Career Expo to see what is available to me and maybe even get a job within the government.

There is no doubt that graduation is a bittersweet moment where lives Change. For Tiffany Miller, graduation was Unbelievably emotional. The theater majors are such a small mix of people. When you see professors crying, you realize how much teaching means to them and how they will really miss you. During the commencement ceremony for the School of Business Administration and the College of Engineering undergraduates, President Shalala awarded the Presidentis Medal to Dave Lieberman for his years of faithful service to the University of Miami. The honorary degree, Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa, was conferred to Judith A. McHale, president and chief executive officer of Discovery Communications Inc. As the parent of a current UM undergraduate, she was honored to receive this degree and joked about finally being able to beat her son at something. McHale reminded students to stay connected to friends and family no matter where they are in the world. Members of the girl's track team were also given their degrees before leaving later in the day to compete as members of the number one ranked team in the nation. The commencement ceremonies for the School of Architecture, School of Communication, School of Education, Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music, and the School of Nursing and Health Studies followed. Raul Rivero Castaneda received the honorary degree of Doctors of Humane Letters, honoris causa. Quoted by President Shalala as a courageous champion of freedom, Castaneda is an internationally-recognized Cuban journalist and poet He is an enthusiastic supporter of the Cuban Revolution and founder of CubaPress, an independent news agency published abroad to report on life as it truly is in Cuba, With such distinguished speakers as those who were at the commencement ceremonies for the class of 2006, it was no wonder that each student felt inspired to step into the real world. ltGraduation this year was especially memorable because of the presence of Madeleine Albright, graduate Layla Aldousany said. Albright gave an exceptionally interesting and eloquent speech, and it was both a privilege and pleasure to hear her.

ACADEMICS SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE for the future New architecture building to benefit both students and community CHRISTINA CARRABIS STAFF Almost seven years of planning, fundraising, and development came to a close this year with the opening of the new Architecture building on campus. The School of Architecture celebrated the opening of the Jorge M. Perez Architecture Center at a special dedication ceremony held on Oct. 18. The $6 million, 8,600 square-foot building includes a state-of- the-art lecture hall that seats up to 145 students, and includes a multimedia classroom and an exhibition gallery, among other perks. The new building allows us to have more lectures and has enough room to hold many more people, said senior architecture major Sabrina Stanley. We have more gallery space now, so we can showcase more of our work. The galleries in the new building will not only allow students to display their projects, but also will provide an area for Visiting exhibitions, such as the Landmarks of New York exhibit that was featured in January and February. The new building also has enough space to allow for guest speakers from outside of the university to come and give evening lectures to both UM students and the interested public. We want to make this building an asset to the entire campus, not just our own department, said Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Dean of the School of Architecture. We welcome campus participation and invite all students and faculty to drop by and see our students' work or attend an evening lecture. I love the University of Miami architecture program, Stanley said, We're small enough so that we are really able to build a community, and by the time you graduate you really feel like you know the professors and students around you. It seems like there's really a rising interest in the program, and this new building will accommodate that growing attention. Can you feel the anticipation?: Excitement filled the air as students, faculty, administrators and community members filed into the new Perez Architecture Building for its dedication ceremony.

TYLER SMINKEWIBIS STAFF The University of Miami School of Architecture recently took on the immense role of aiding the Gulf Coast after the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina. The Mississippi Renewal Forum, a solution decided upon by Gov. Halley Barbour of Mississippi, as well as teams of architects, engineers and planners working with Mississippians, was created to rebuild the 11 coastal towns destroyed by Katrina. The 11 coastal towns focused on were: Bay St. Louis, Biloxi, D'Iberville, Gautier, Gulfport, Long Beach, Moss Point, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula, Pass Christian, and Waveland. Professor Jaime Correa from the University of Miami School of Architecture was charrette team leader for the city of D'Iberville, Miss. Professor Correa went to D'Iberville for ten days and met with Mayor Rusty Quave to discuss and decide on future building proposals for the town. He brought along four students from the graduate architecture program as well as three alumni working with him at The University of Miami. They were able to come up with rebuilding plans for the town. Ranging from transportation services and roadways to school and park construction, the group was able to plan D'Iberville's complete renewal. Professor Adib Cure helped in the D'Iberville project. With a group of 67 architecture students and five faculty members, Cure worked to divide the different areas of the town and look at the climate and weather conditions in building residential housing. The final decision was to design a series of mobile homes for displaced residents. These homes would conform to the Mississippi region's history, cultural context, and natural setting as well as serving as inexpensive and temporary housing. As of now the project is in full swing. Mississippi residents are slowly moving back into their towns and using the plans that were decided in the Renewal Forum. When asked about the town's future outlook, Professor Correa responded, The city of D'Iberville has the greatest degree of success because they, luckily, were low enough tin elevationT to be covered by flood insurance. Q8cA With Professor Jaime Correa, Assistant Professor in Practice, School of Architecture DELIA AREVALOH BIS STAFF Professor Correa describes himself as not just an architect, but as an urban designer. In addition to his responsibilities in the School of Architecture, he has his own architectural him. His projects have been honored with awards such as The International Cities Award in Dubai, the Point of Light Award, and the Marina de Copa Competition. He is a strong proponent of New Utbanism. WHAT IS NEW URBANISM AND HOW DO YOU EMPHASIZE THE CONCEPT IN YOUR CLASSES? New Urbanismi' is a movement that was started in the United States 15 years ago. I was one of the initiators of the movement. The concept revolves around making neighborhoods, blocks, streets, and projects more pedestrian. I teach the application of New Urbanism through community projects. In the fall semester we do projects in the United States and in the spring we do projects all over the world. We are currently working with the Prince of Wales School of Architecture on a project in Luxembourg. CAN YOU DESCRIBE SOME OF YOUR AWARD- WINNING PROJECTS?

ACADEMICS COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Theater Arts program allows natural stars to shine NATALIE GELMANXIBIS STAFF It is no secret that the University of Miami produces some of the finest . . 0'. - professionals in a variety of careers. The theater department is no exception. nu nh- 2 - The undergraduate theater program attracts students, faculty, and respected Visiting artists from all over the world, including Marvin Hamlisch and Jerry Herman twho the Ring Theater is named afterl. Students work with these professionals in master class settings and quite often see the artist perform or have question and answer sessions with the producer or director. PHOTOS COURTESY THEATER ARTS Singing their hearts out tabovea: Seniors Cassie Abate and Ryan Depending on which degree program a student is interested in when applying Powers sing during the production of Showtune. to the program, there are supplemental applications to submit. If the student wants to be in the conservatory program, there is a required audition and interview that is separate from the university application. This may sound intimidating to non-performers, but for students that want to have a career as a Broadway, television or film artist, auditioning multiple times over the course of one day is typical. It may be one of their first auditions, but students get used to the process right away as they audition throughout college for shows both in school and outside the university over semester breaks and during the summers. According to Dr. Vincent Cardinal, Chair of the Theater Arts Department, we will be in New York City in March 2006 to do our industry showcase. The training in the theater department emphasizes student individually so that they can learn to make independent creative decisions after they graduate. Students know that as developing artists they have to constantly develop and refine their craft and often give up nights and weekends to rehearse or practice. The theater department puts on many professional musicals and plays in the Hecht Black Box Theater and the Jerry Herman Ring Theater. They feature students in all aspects of the production from performance to lighting, costume and set design. Because it is an undergraduate program, there is always direct work with faculty, not graduate assistants. The ceaseless study of acting, singing and dancing, is not the only thing an aspiring actor has to learn. As an actor you're running a full-time business, said Joshua Henry, a senior theater student who is working towards an eventual move to New York City to pursue a career as a performer on Broadway. Like all University of Miami theater alumni, Henry will have an easier time moving and living in New York City since the department works to give its students an edge through networking and introducing students to contacts all over the country and world. The aspiring theater arts major just needs to look to some famous University of Miami alumni, including Ray Liota, Sylvester Stallone, Nilo Cruz, or Dawn Lewis for inspiration and to see what their future could hold with ceaseless hard work and dedication.

Carin LAUREN MARSHALUIBIS STAFF The Linda Ray Intervention Center, part of the Department of Psychology, provides expert educational and prevention services for at-risk children, ages three and younger, and their families. Housed in a two story building, nestled in an inner-city neighborhood near the medical campus, the Center and its many collaborative partners provide what the Director Dr. Lynne Katz describes as a holistic set of services. In addition, the Center provides learning opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students. The Center collaborates with many local, state, and federal agencies for extramural funding. '1Our children are considered special education students, thus the Miami Dade County Public School System provides funding for their education, in addition to funding for transportation, Katz explained. The Center also enrolls typically developing children in each classroom. Funding also comes from the Department of Children and Families and Early Head Start. The Center has most recently received a $420,000 grant from the Department of Justicels Office of Justice Programs to support the Consortium for Children in Crisis. The Center is working with the 11m Judicial Circuit Juvenile Court in Miami Dade County and the Miami Dade County Department of Human Services in this effort. The goals of the grant are to provide clinical treatment to mothers and babies in domestic violence cases and to train child Care providers in the community through training modules, said Katz. Katz provides a rich environment for learning at the Center in addition to the work being done there with the children. We have many UM students come here as a class field trip, Katz said. She describes learning opportunities in such areas as psychology, education, law, research, and even opportunities for students in film and the arts. Katz remembers one student who came on a field trip who had never been around children. After that experience, he came to the Center several more times. His eyes were opened to his own biological clock and his need to learn more about children, reflected Katz. Students can complete work study employment at the Center, participate as volunteers in the office or classroom, or work as research assistants. The Center also provides opportunities for internships. They get hands on experiences with children, explained Katz. Students come to collect data for papers and to conduct research for their theses, she said. We will have students working on the new Department of Justice grant as research assistants. Everyone that works at the Center must fully understand the issues of working with other human beings. All individuals who come to the Center in any capacity must take the Human Subjects Protection course so that they understand issues related to research and confidentiality, she stressed. Students who work at the Center in varying capacities and have graduated or moved away often come back to see a specific Child they worked with in the classroom and see how they are doing, said Katz. You can't be here in any capacity and not be touched by the lives of these children. PHOTOS COURTESY LINDA RAY tNTERVENTION CENTER L Goofing Around: A teacher at the Center has fun with her students.

She integrates history, architecture, urban planning and present-day culture into her unique approach to teaching. YOUR STUDENTS DESCRIBE YOU AS BUBBLY AND INTERESTING. WHAT DO YOU DO TO MAKE YOUR CLASSES INTERESTING? I try to make history dynamic by bringing together discussions both of broad historical trends and specific case studies. Using biography or well-known events in history to elucidate larger themes and questions allows students to more directly relate the past to their own time and their own lives. YOU ARE THE CHARLTON W. TEBEAU ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF HISTORY. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT THAT MEANS AND HOW YOU EARNED THAT TITLE? Elena Amos was a Cuban immigrant who was a student in the history Class of the legendary Charlton Tebeau, a longtime history professor and department chair at the University of Miami. Professor Tebeau had arranged for a student to help her with tutoring in English and she eventually married that student. Upon her husband's death, she decided to honor his memory by endowing a position in the history department and naming the position after her favorite professor, Charles Tebeau. The professorship is given to someone specializing in urban history and the history of immigration in America. These happened to be my two specialties and after a national search to fill the position, I was awarded the chair. YOU WROTE A BOOK, BUILDING THE SOUTH SIDE: URBAN SPACE AND CIVIC CULTURE IN CHICAGO, 1890-1919 . WHY DID YOU WRITE ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Chicago was at the forefront of many of the trends that shaped American cities and American culture at the start of the 20th century. In both urban reform efforts and city planning and design, Chicago led the nation in new ideas about how to improve conditions for urban Americans and make cities into cosmopolitan centers of civic life. The book focuses on the symbiotic relationship between how people conceive of cities and the ways in which urban design helps foster or inhibit certain kinds of interactions. ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON ANY OTHER BOOKS 0R PROJECTS? My current book project is a comparative study of shore communities on the Atlantic seaboard, Home Away from Home: The Transformation of Seaside Recreation Along the East Coast . In addition, I am developing a digital archive on Travel, Tourism, and Urban Growth in South Florida.

She frames her research around the natural disasters that impact all of us, but is specifically concerned with how children and adolescents experience and deal with stress. HOW DID YOUR INTEREST IN PEDIATRIC PSYCHOLOGY DEVELOP? In graduate school, I heard a lot about behavioral issues with child health patients. I also went to local pediatric wards and noticed that many of their programs were geared for adults. It made me wonder how we could provide health care and education specifically for children. HOW DID YOUR INTEREST IN CHILDREN LEAD TO YOU BECOMING AN AUTHOR? Writing books are a great example of conducting research and then translating it so that children and families can use it. After September 11th, I wrote Helping America Cope . After the 2004 hurricane season, I recognized a need for a way to help Children deal With their feelings after natural disasters.

This program allows for students who have obtained an undergraduate degree in business within the last five years from an accredited university to graduate with their masters in Business Administration in just one year. Welre a private university and we have to be on the cutting edge all the time, said Dr. Harold Berkman, Vice Dean of Graduate Business programs in the School of Business. It's the only way to survive. The program is composed 0f 16 courses equaling 32 credits, 14 of which are electives Two seven-week terms make up a semester for a total of two semesters equaling 28 weeks of class time. Students take four courses per term for a total of eight courses per semester. Unlike other one-year MBA programs, there are no summer classes. Instead, the summer is devoted to internships and students who need help finding placement can go through the Ziff Graduate Career Services Center. Applications will be reviewed for GPA, essay and a GMAT score of 560 or higher. The mean score for the current Class is 605. Tuition for the program is the regular university fees plus the regular cost per credit hour. This program is two years in the making. According to Berkman, he and his staff had to research other U.S. programs, work with University of Miami staff and faculty to fine tune the courses, submit their plans for approval and then go through the school council. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business tAACSBl, the international accrediting body for the most prestigious business schools in the world, has specific guidelines to be followed with regards to the course offerings in order for the program to be accredited. The program has room for 30 students and started its first year with 23, but Berkman expects numbers to rise, specifically from UM undergraduates, For the past two years, Berkman explained, recruiters have named our business school the number one program in the state of Florida w this is all schools combined, private and state - and that's great because they are the ones that do the hiring. s1 PHOTOS BY WILL WOOTENABIS STAFF Architecturally sound: The School of Business building is one of the most architecturally intriguing on campus.

I obtained my law degree from the University of Notre Dame. In 1995, I moved to Miami to work for an exporting company as general counsel. I then pursued an MBA at night at the University of Miami. After finishing my MBA, I began lecturing at UM and have been here ever since. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT TEACHING? Teaching and interacting with students is fun. I feel like I am back in my days in court as a litigator when I stand in front of the Class to teach. I have taught 10 different courses since I have been at UM, but 74 different sections of those courses. The interaction with the students is wonderful. DO YOUR RESEARCH INTERESTS COINCIDE WITH YOUR TEACHING? My research is in the areas of federal securities law and contract law so they do relate.

My favorite part Of teaching is interacting with the students who are unsure of what they want to do. I really enjoy inspiring those students who don't think they can do finance into really believing that they can. WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON BESIDES TEACHING? I am currently doing some research on investment banking and how investors trade in and out of mutual funds. Another project I am working on is examining the extent to which the workforce is on the same page as the stock market and their investors. HOW DOES THIS RESEARCH RELATE TO THE COURSES YOU TEACH? Often I can integrate the research I am doing with the classes I am teaching. Some of the articles I may read for research will help out in a Class while the things I look into for a class session may help me with my research. Some questions asked in Class can also stimulate ideas for research. I also love how the University of Miami is a research-oriented school. Faculty bring the research they are doing into Class and, make the learning process that much more interesting. This way there is more than just the texts to learn from, as seen at a pure teaching university. DO YOUR FUTURE CAREER PLANS INCLUDE NEW RESEARCH OBJECTIVES? I am interested, in the future, at looking into the financial education of immigrants to the United States. I think this group of people needs to be taught more in the fields of 137 investment, savings, and finances in order to better integrate with their new surroundings. ACADEMICS SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION the shape of the LAUREN MARSHALLXIBIS STAFF President Donna Shalala described Thomas Friedman as the most gifted journalist of his generation, as she introduced him to an audience of over 600 guests in February. As part of the 10th anniversary of the Northern Trust Lecture Series, Mr. Friedman spoke to students, faculty, professionals, and members of the community about his latest book, The World is Flat . The New York Times columnist engaged the audience with his Views on globalization, economics, politics, and a changing world where, communication is going from vertical to horizontal. The idea for his book came completely by accident Friedman explained. I was working on a project for the Discovery Channel in Bangalore, India. Along the way, an Indian colleague explained that the global economic playing field is being leveled. Friedman began thinking about it and came to the realization that the world is flatXI At that point he took a leave from work and began his quest to update IhisI software, figuratively speaking. Throughout his book, Friedman identifies three periods of globalization and 10 events that I'flattened the world. He also discussed his View of the triple convergence in which the flatteners began to work together and collaborative projects gained a platform. FriedmanIs book is not without controversy. His Views on a flattened or level playing field have stimulated discussion both in support and in opposition of his theories. Dr. Sallie Hughes, Assistant Professor in the School of Communication, believes that while, the growing interconnection of the world is important, it is ridiculous to say that individuals are cooperating and competing on a level playing field. Gender, race, Class, and level of economic development matter enormously. The playing field is far from flat for those who face malnutrition, forced labor, lack of access to the internet or formal education, systematic discrimination, or even genocide , Sandra Remillien, a senior in the School of Communication, went to hear Friedman as she wanted to figure out why he was so controversial. I agree with the whole notion of globalization. I think more people need to realize that no country is an island and what happens in one place affects other places miles away. Melinda Masdeu, a sophomore in the School of Communication, wanted to learn from Friedman's insight into journalism as well as his perspective on globalization. He isn't really pushing a political agenda, just pointing out truths. In relation to FtiedmanIs Views about the future for college graduates, Masdeu wasn't sure that passion is enough to make someone successful. He successfully made me worry about some of my friends' jobs in the future. At least I know I am safe, as I plan to be an explainer. Thomas Friedman brought a buzz to the University of Miami campus. He left us with his Views about the world and Challenged us to find our place within that world, whether we agree with his idea of its shape or not.

The Forum on News Media and Ownership shed light on the possible future of newspapers the cost of t 7 SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION NATALIE REIRAABIS STAFF The tug-of-war between journalists and newspaper ownership has always been a prime area of concern when dealing with quality journalism. This issue proved especially true on Feb. 10, when the School of Communication courtyard hosted the Forum on News Media Ownership, an event put together by the South Florida Professional Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists tSPJl. The forum dealt with the possible sale of Knight Ridder Newspapers, the second largest publishing company in the country, with ownership of newspapers in 32 different cities tincluding The Miami Herald; Many feel that the quality of journalism that Knight Ridder holds in such high regard will disintegrate with the possible sale of its newspapers. The forum focused on a panel discussion that explored types of ownership and their effects. Panelists included moderator John Hopkins, Vice President of the South Florida Chapter of SPJ, Bob lngle, former San Jose Mercury News Executive Editor, and Robert G. Picard, founder of the journal HMedia Economics . The event drew dozens of students and faculty, as well as writers and journalists from various newspapers, such as The Sun-Sentinel. During the discussion, Ingle and Picard spoke of several issues and possible solutions regarding new ownership. Ingle focused on the tremendous financial and tax burdens that new ownerships, such as merging and the selling of the company in parts, would impose. The financial realities of running a newspaper smack us in the face,'l he stated. Picard concentrated on providing the pros and cons for various different types of newspaper ownership, such as family or foundation ownership. While most of the audience showed concern for the possible declination of quality journalism, some feel that the selling of Knight Ridder Newspapers is actually a good thing and will bring positive change. Selling The Miami Herald might increase sales, said freshman Vanessa Acosta. A new owner might bring a fresh look and feel to the newspaper that is otherwise on the sidelines as compared to those in circulation across the country. Although the tug-of-war between newspaper ownership has caused new concerns and issues to arise, the panel assured future journalists that the newspaper industry will remain stable e no matter what the circumstances. experiencing journalism in CHINA Q8cA With Dr. Bruce Garrison, Professor of Journalism KIRA WISNIEWSKVIBIS STAFF In 2005, Dr. Garrison was awarded a prestigious Fulbright grant. He used his grant to teach and study journalism at Shanghai International Studies University in China. WHEN DID YOU GO TO CHINA? I had a sabbatical for the 2004-2005 school year. I applied for the Fulbright a year or two earlier. In the formal process for Fulbright grants, you have to apply for it to be considered and then the grant is peer-reviewed. I was lucky enough to be selected. I left Feb. 9 last year and returned mid-August right before the school year started here. WHAT WORK DID YOU DO IN CHINA? I mainly did two things in China. I taught at Shanghai International Studies University, which is an international English-language institution. The class I taught over in Shanghai was much like the Feature Writing class I'm teaching here. The students wrote and edited their stories in English. Can you imagine trying to do your work in Chinese? The second thing I did was research on a book that I started just before going there that looks at English-language newspapers around the world. The majority of the book will cover Europe and Asia. WHAT IS THE WORKING TITLE OF THE BOOK? What I have it as right now is Globalization in New Technology in the Growth of English-Language Newspapers . I will be looking at the impact of new technology, like the Internet, and the issues related to globalization, which are certainly not just economic and political. In terms of communication, I will be looking at how these issues have impacted the growth of English-language newspapers. WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEACHING AT UM AND IN SHANGHAI? I had to be much more aware of the language issues. I certainly don't know any Chinese. My students were quite good at speaking and understanding English. But there were still times when I would use expressions or examples and they wouldn't understand. Secondly, the government buildings south of the Yangtze River in China are not heated. I wasn't really prepared for walking into a classroom that was 30 or 45 degrees and everyone is sitting there in their coats and scarves and drinking hot tea. But after one class I understood, and I never took off my coat for most of the month of March.

ACADEMICS DIVISION OF CONTINUING STUDIES AND INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION study abroad: more than just TRAVEL Q8cA with senior Michael Levine, study-abroad economics student LAUREN MARSHALUIBIS STAFF WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO STUDY ABROAD? I have always been fascinated with traveling to new places and meeting new people. Italy was the country that I wanted to go to and I went specifically to L'Aquila, Italia. WAS THERE AN ACADEMIC REASON THAT YOU CHOSE THE SPECIFIC PROGRAMIPLACE TO STUDY? While I knew I wanted to go to Italy, I wasn't sure I would be able to go because I didn't speak Italian. Through conversations with the person in charge of study abroad, I found out that there was an economics program in English in L'Aquila. I went there and took three economics Classes that counted towards my major. DESCRIBE HOW YOUR STUDIES ABROAD HELPED YOU WITH YOUR FUTURE ACADEMIC GOALS. Because my major was economics, I knew that was what I wanted to study. I got a much better perspective on the international business environment that I would one day be working in. To learn amongst people from different countries in a country other than the United States is an entirely different experience that the interactions with students, even foreign students, at the University of Miami. You are actually the one away from home, living the different culture. You learn about the subtleties of another culture, their family values, and their way of showing respect. These lessons will be invaluable when I am in another country trying to close a deal and when I am being judged on everything I say and do, not just on what I am selling. WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND STUDY ABROAD AS A COMPONENT OF A STUDENT'S ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE? If you really want to have a well-rounded educational experience, you have to have an experience to contrast UM with. For instance, all of my exams in Italy were oral exams. You have to know all of the material down to the smallest details. Now when I am studying here, I try and use the same techniques. Traveling reinforces a lot of things that have been learned previoust, such as history and government. To be in another country motivates you to travel, see, and experience new things from which you learn more than you ever would from a textbook or in the Classroom.

A Q8cA With Dr. jeanne Bergeron, Teaching and Learning instructor LAUREN MARSHALUIBIS STAFF Dr. Bergeron teaches children literature courses for both undergraduate and graduate students. Her quilt project teaches more than just sewing. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE QUILTING PROJECT? The quilting project is not just about making a quilt. It is a strategy used to teach students a method of teaching literature. Quilting gives them a challenge. The assignment gives them a little bit of empathy as to what it is like to be in a classroom when you don't know what the teacher is talking about. They also learn how to work together. 'Each One-Teach One' gives them first hand knowledge of how to use a teaching strategy they can then transfer to their students in the classroom. The project teaches them how to quilt as a means for learning how to teach children. The best way to teach children is to use creativity and incorporate the arts. WHAT DO YOU LEARN ABOUT YOUR STUDENTS? I learn all sorts of information about my students just by seeing how they approach this project. What kind of planners are they? Do they complete their work in a timely manner? Are they risk takers? I get to spend a lot of time with them one on one. HOW DO STUDENTS REACT TO THIS PROJECT? At the beginning, some students think the project is too much and question what it has to do with teaching children. But once their quilt is completed and it is time to give it away PHOTO BY TYLER SMINKEYHBIS STAFF to a child of their choice, they have a hard time parting with it. I tell them if you are a teacher, you give away yourself all of the time. WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD FROM YOUR GRADUATES WHO ARE NOW TEACHING? Many former students keep in touch with me and tell me how they use quilts not only to teach language arts, but also to teach science and history. One teacher used the quilt project to teach life skills in kindergarten. Each student drew a picture of a life skill and then a class quilt was created and donated to the school where it now hangs. WHAT THE STUDENT S HAVE TO SAY: The quilting project allowed me to acquire yet another tool to help Children learn on a higher level by synthesizing their knowledge and appreciation of a favorite book in the form of a quilt. I am now anxious to begin teaching and sharing books with my students. In fact, I have begun my children's literature library. - Nicki Blackwell, Junior, Education I learned at the beginning it is very easy to be overwhelmed by a project. But with time...you can learn things step by step and it is an extremely accomplishing feeling. I work at a sleep-away camp in the summer. On the last night of camp... in front of the whole camp, I gave my quilt and book, The Rainbow Fish, to a camper who shined above all of the rest.

This year, Dr. Kenneth Broad, assistant professor in the Marine Affairs and Policy Department and the UM Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy, was recognized as one of these elite rising talents. Called an inspiring adventurer by the award selection committee, Broad has been on a variety of research explorations and worked on projects ranging from studying crack cocaine distribution in urban Jamaica to an expedition in Mexico's Hauula Plateau, whose goal was to reach the bottom of one of the world's deepest caves with the use of experimental diving equipment. One of the most Challenging and rewarding things I've done was traveling the remote atolls and islands of the Pacilic and Indian Oceans with my best friend Ewe 7 and 5000 pounds of bathymetric, diving, and drilling equipment, said Broad. We used the information from the core samples we retrieved to reconstruct past climate conditions and sea level heights. We would hitchhike on cargo, missionary, and private vessels, never quite sure where we'd end up next. The award includes a $10,000 prize to be used to fund future research projects. I plan to use the money as seed funding for an expedition to explore underwater caves and study their ecological and cultural significance in the Bahamas, Broad said. Even with all of this uncommon experience, Dr. Broad remains a down-to-earth, personable guy. My favorite part about the work I do is the opportunity to interact with such varied types of people in contrasting settings, There is always a new perspective to try and understand- both intellectually and personally- from these interactions. My assumptions are always Challenged and this is humbling. Left to Right: Sarah Goff-Tlemsani, Otis B. Brown, Gregor Eberli, David Powell, Michael G.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO BECOME A CONDUCTOR? I just wanted to teach and be involved. I wanted to learn and know about music. WHY IS THE WIND ENSEMBLE SO IMPORTANT TO YOU? It's a group of higth-qualihed graduate and undergraduate students. I really enjoy this group because of the level of participation and the level of engagement is at such a high level. The concert band, the symphonic band and the marching band all function at a very high level as well, but the ensemble functions at a different intellectual and emotional level based on the music they are playing. IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL THAT YOU DO WITH YOUR STUDENTS BEFORE 0R AFTER A PERFORMANCE? This is before a performance. Today is before a performance. Yesterday was before a performance. I am always thinking about what causes us to want to do these artistic things and why people want to do them and what should we play. I don't think there's a day ever in my life that I' In very far away from thinking about my students or trying to learn enough so that I deserve the opportunity to teach them. So I suppose that while walking across the campus and feeling the wind blow is special, so is thinking about the students and what we're going to do is special. It's all part of the process. Nothing is removed. We play a concert. It's a reward, it's a gift, but it's still a work-in-progress. We're still learning.

EUSINESS MUSIC UM is has first student-run music publishing company and record label TYLER SMINKEWIBIS STAFF The University of Miami's Music Business and Entertainment Industries OVIBED Program is a program of many iirsts. As one of the top programs of its kind in the nation and the first fully accredited music business curriculum, established in 1964, the MBEI has produced multiple newsworthy accomplishments. Established in 2002, Category 5 Music Publishing is the first graduate student-run music publishing company in the country. While they are based at the university, they have been established as a separate business entity, and are run strictly by graduate students in the MBEI program. Similarly, 'Cane Records, the first student-run record label in the country, was established in 1993. This student-run business has been overseen by Dr. James Progris, director of UM's MBEI program since its birth. Dr. Progris has always maintained, however, not to become involved in the operation so as to give students the full learning experience. Dr. Progris is also founder and past president of the Music and Entertainment Industry Educators Association tMEIEAL as well as Professor and Chair of the Frost Music School's Department of Music Media and Industry. UM's MBEI program continues to place students in remarkable positions in the music industry around the country. Looking at a list of companies that program alumni have entered brings up such names as Blockbuster, BMG Distribution 8r Entertainment, Columbia House Company, CD Now, EMI and many others. Students learn the technical terms needed to enter the music business field, approximately 500 to 700 industry specific words, as well as gaining an understanding of how the industry works. Through opportunities like tCane Records, students gain on- the-job experience by actually entering the music business market and interacting with other businesses. The Frost School of Music at the University of Miami tights hard for their placement within the top music business schools around the country and deserves their success.

According to Professor Shannon de l'Etoile, music therapy program director, the curriculum is based on the unique philosophy of neurological music therapy. To be best prepared for this line of work, students must have a strong understanding of how the brain is wired because of the strong connection between the auditory and motor system, de llEtoile said.

The anticipation of a summer 2006 move-in to the M. Christine Schwartz Center for Nursing and Health Studies has faculty, students and alumni excited. 'The completion of the building means a permanent home for the school, appropriate office and conference space for faculty, and an outstanding teaching-learning environment, complete with the latest technology, said Dr. Georgie Labadie, Professor Emeriti. Since its inception, the School of Nursing has been housed in various buildings on both the Coral Gables campus and the downtown medical campus. From the ROTC shacks to Building 48 near Eaton Hall, to the Royce Building off a parking lot on the medical campus to the Corniche building, to the current location in an old fraternity house on Red Road and more, the School of Nursing never had a presence on campus. Their identity as a professional school was mostly known only to themselves and their students.

It is a truly remarkable gift and recognition of the hard work of many, many people to bring this project to fruition, Dr. Labadie explained. 1'It will provide the ideal venue for the types of programs that can be offered in the let century.

Q8cA with Professor Elaine Kauschinger, Instructor LAUREN MARSHALLHBIS STAFF Professor Kauschinger teaches what she practices as both a nurse practitioner and a nurse educator. HOW HAS THE ROLE OF PROFESSIONAL NURSING CHANGED? I think the role of nursing has consistently changed in the past with the demands of the health care needs of our nation and with the requirements of the nursing profession. In the last ten years, the held has been coping with an ever- increasing nursing shortage while the number of patients requiring nursing care continues to increase. One of the reasons I flnd nursing so rewarding as well as challenging is the fact that the profession is always responding to the ever- changing needs of health care. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT FOR PROFESSIONAL NURSES? This year I am President of the Metro Miami Chapter of the Association of Nurses in AIDS Care tANACI. I consider HIW AIDS the most pressing health care problem in the United States. Within the university, I have participated in A Week for Life as a guest presenter. It's important to become active so that students can see that not only do you talk the talk, but walk the walk . During the last several years at the university, I have been able to design, implement and operate a primary health clinic for substance-abusing women. While collaborating with Judge Jeri B.Cohen and Dr. Lynn Katz, we were able to design and operate the fust drug court clinic in the United States. It is so vitally important for students and professionals to see the dynamic capabilities that nursing has to offer in the community. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR UM'S NURSING SCHOOL GRADUATES? There are multiple and highly-complex forces driving the health care needs at both the national and international levels. Students are prepared to enter a highly-technical and professional environment. They are knowledgeable about the importance of learning as a lifelong goal.

Nursing program offers new learning technology LAUREN MARSHALLXIBIS STAFF The International Academy for Clinical Simulation and Research GACSRL a division of the School of Nursing and Health Studies, utilizes technology and new teaching methodologies to enhance the learning of students and healthcare providers. Through the use of innovative technologies such as human patient simulators, computer-based learning modules and a comprehensive competency tracking system, students are better prepared to provide safe and high-quality care. Simulation can aid in the preparation of more competent, experienced nurses entering the work force, Jay Ober, IACSR director, said. Clinical education for nurses has traditionally taken place in a hospital, Clinic or other type of health care delivery system. While beneficial, there are limited opportunities for exposure to the range of health conditions and disease processes that nurses have to manage today. Simulating a range of patient conditions with computerized mannequins provides the student with repeated exposure to various types of clinical case scenarios, which in turn, produces a more experienced, well-rounded nurse, Ober said. In the simulation lab, students are provided with a safe, controlled environment in which to practice their critical thinking and clinical assessment skills Without the threat of harm to the patient. In this environment, learners are able to correct mistakes, apply evidenced-based standards of care consistently, and optimize the outcome for the patient, Ober explained. In addition to teaching and learning, the IACSR has a research focus, in which measuring clinical competency through the use of patient simulators is a major research focus, Ober said. It is critical for scientists to understand how and if student experiences in simulation improve their performance and 165 if these experiences transfer to clinical settings. ACADEMICS ADMINISTRATION Deans' perspective: an insider's look LAUREN MARSHALLNBIS STAFF Donna E. Shalala President Two men, with different educational and professional backgrounds and at different points in their careers, are now walking the same path across campus at the University of Miami as deans for their respective schools. The newest dean on campus, Dean Michael Halleran, of the College of Arts and Sciences, arrived this past summer. Dean William Hipp has led the Frost School of Music for the past 23 years, making him the dean with the longest tenure at UM. Dean Halleran brings to his position the excitement of new challenges, With a faculty that is growing stronger each year, a diverse student body, 1n and a dynamic president, UM presents a lculture of possibilities, Dean Alan J. Fish Vice President, Business Services Halleran said. There are very few places in the country that have the diversity of students that are here at UM. Dean Halleran believes that the College of Arts and Sciences should provide students with a strong and exciting education that prepares them for making a difference in the world; a curriculum that is robust and provides a variety of program options to Choose from; and the opportunity and freedom to explore, study, and comparefi He supports the idea that the faculty should have autonomy that is unparalleled and leads to intellectual freedom. Dean Hipp has a focused approach to his job after his many years in the position. He has goals for the school in place and a path mapped M. Lewis Temares Vice President for the faculty and students over the past 23 years. 'lMy job is to support Information Technology out to attain them, while sustaining the progress that has been made by the work of the faculty, Dean Hipp said. During his time as dean, the school has become one of the most comprehensive schools of music in all of higher education, Dean Hipp said. We have become more selective in terms of music qualifications and scholastic qualifications of our students; we have grown and maintained contemporary programs in music; and our faculty, students, and programs have gained national and international reputations. Dean Hipp is passionate about the school he leads. 'lUnless one is a music student, one doesn't understand how busy students are in our school. Their schedules are incredible, Dean Hipp said. Even after 23 kW Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk years, he is still very much the dean of his faculty and students and their . S ch 0 ol of Architecture accomplishments. Both Dean Halleran and Dean Hipp have strong leadership qualities and see their role as promoting their schools, their faculty, their students, and their programs, respectively. They know there is still much to be achieved, from raising money to maintaining and recruiting high quality faculty and students and promoting unique curricula and programs. According to both, the role of dean is to support the work of the faculty so that they can engage students in the learning process. Those faculty and students that participate in programs within the College of Arts and Sciences and the Frost School of Music are fortunate that both Dean Halleran and Dean Hipp chose the road to UM.

Creamean has worked at the nonprofit Coca- Cola Camp in Atlanta, where she helped create a performing and creative arts curriculum. She worked with 64 campers and the experience left such an impact on her that she cannot wait to go back again. In the rare moments of spare time that she has, Creamean likes to ride her bike down to the ocean, read wilderness survival books and dance like nobody is watching . A motion pictures and theatre major, Creamean believes that a good teacher is all about the real world connections he or she can bring to learning. In the near future, she wants to keep her eyes open for opportunities that will give her life experiences that she can share in the classroom. 179 PEOPLE SENIORS LISAtlEVENGER Biology, Somerset,Pa.

IHOMAS PHILLIPS Aerospace Engineering, Goodspring, Tenn PEOPLE Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. - Lawrence's life lesson SENIOR SPOTLIGHT LAWREN Lawrence finds that this ancient Buddhist saying complements the ideal that you cannot only choose the events that affect your life, but also Choose how you react to them. Her mother, a single parent, is quite an advocate of this concept. Lawrence hopes that she has helped to promote diversity at UM through her involvement with the Model United Nations Competitive Team and the American Association of University Women as well as on a more personal level. In 20 years, Lawrence wants to hold a position in the United Nations where she can work on international problems at a global level. One of her notable personal achievements is that she is graduating from the University of Miami after just three years. Lawrence takes pride in how involved she was during her time here. It's so fun to be involved. g need chispa l kal - Lopez's life lesso ' ,, passed hisplmrmacist's litensurc exam and De pm fhc llel l.

M J Unleam. - Bennett's life lesson Terri-Ann Bennett believes that students have been bamboozled by the half-truths and distortions in academic books and by so-called scholars. She preaches her UNLEARN motto to as many people as she can, Bennett sees the college experience as being much bigger than the classroom. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has been a personal inspiration for Bennett. She is motivated by him to live not only for herself, but also for the betterment of mankind. Bennett is the chair of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee and worked to extend his life celebration to two weeks. She also initiated programs that have remained an integral part of the annual programs that commemorate the American activist and hero. Aspiring to become an obstetrician or gynecologist, she has already witnessed a live birth. I was amazed. The excitement and happiness felt in the delivery room was remarkable, and even writing about it fills me with this sentiment of purpose. To keep her sanity, she finds escape in reading and writing whether she is happy, sad, overwhelmed or exuberated. 215 PEOPLE SENIORS Miami, Fla.

For many students, living on campus marks the start of the rest of their lives. SASHA FILIMONOWIBIS STAFF Peeking out of the car window and finally seeing the University of Miami sign; driving down Stanford Drive and gazing up at the enormous palm trees; finally pulling up in front of your new residence that you have been fantasizing about for months. A rock has formed in the bottom of your stomach because you are finally starting to realize that this is truly going to be your new home. I was really nervous to be so far away from home and in such a different place. Although it was hard for me at first, I always knew that this would become my new, but second, home, said sophomore Kristen DePalma. That initial feeling of fear and excitement is something that epitomizes living on your own and it is something that every freshman, sophomore, junior and senior vividly remembers. I was in a state of shock but excited at the same time. I had butterflies... I really had no idea what was yet to come, said freshman Lynn Brodsky. That initial encounter with living on our own is when we finally see that we are faced with responsibility. The image of standing in front of that residence hall is one that will never leave us because that is when we realize that we are on our own. 241 PEOPLE HECHT RESIDENTlAL COLLEGE 12 11 10 Front row: Najia Hamid, Amanda Archer, Annette Abaoun Second row: Monica Yancy, Alex Klein, Tumey Montanez, Camila McLaughlin, Emily Korba, Sarah Cariello, Lyndsey Kiss Third row: Najia Hamid, Amanda Archer, Annette Abaoun ' Back row: Bethany Tellman, Megan Jackson, Karen Kajder, Carol Perry, Elorie Eggelestan, Caroline Shearer, Sandra Jacques, Scott Terry, Claudia Perez Front row: Nathaniel Adelson, Adam Seavey, Jake Axelbank, Keith Polott Second row: Matt McKee, Jordan Orlavsky,Tim Dolan, Ryan Hughes, Anthony Behn Third row: Justin Bousquin, Lamarr Rollins.

Once Chartwells is closed for the night, many return from clubs, jobs, or classes eager to see if the machines have been restocked. I just get so hungry late at night. This is my only option, sophomore Nick Warner said. Sometimes it all boils down to the amount of disposable cash: When you can't order a pizza, you buy a frozen one. A microwaveable pizza and highly carbonated soda seems like a great meal when you don't have another choice. In these cases, if Chartwells was open later, it wouldnt matter. Others would still face the problem of pure boredom. liIt's 1 a.m., what else could I do at this time? asked junior Mike McCallister. So either way, it seems the vending machines are a gathering point for those who are hungry, bored, or broke. PHOTO BY IVY SIMONESABIS STAFF Late night munchles?

KIRA WISNIEWSKVIBIS STAFF Roommates, parking, independence and convenience are all things to weigh in the great debate of living on-campus versus living off-campus. Both have their perks and their downfalls. Living on campus is amazing if you find drama hilarious, said senior Angie Pendergrass. '11 like that there are lots of people around all the time. Other students don't necessarily see the proximity of people as a plus. When I lived on campus I got sick five times in one year, said senior Nathan-Lam Vuong. Another factor to consider is cooking and eating. With Chartwells at your doorstep, on-campus residents don't have to cook if they don't feel like it. However, due to the lack of personal cooking facilities, if hunger strikes during hours that Charties is closed, your options are usually limited to Papa John's. Pendergrass sees the lack of bills as a perk to living on n campus. ,1 don't have to pay for utilities or Internet or cable. There's a third option for living arrangements for the gentlemen at UMenliving in a fraternity house.

The proximity also allows fraternity brothers to avoid the hassle of parking on campus. It's far enough from campus, yet close enough to never have to drive. It's only a quick walk to the gym, Speier said.

But what about DOT, the hghts the students who routinely sit through the infamous are IGd. Yet, to Miami traffic, fight for parking spots, and take naps at some students, their second home, the Richter Library? These are the University of Miami's commuter students. commuting is worth Though commuters become accustomed to this lifestyle - after a few semesters, freshmen commuters sometimes the traffic . find the transition challengmg and difficult. Freshmen Dan Caraballo and Danny Martinez and sophomore Laura Muhoz share their experiences as commuters at the University of Miami. All three students agreed that traffic is the hardest aspect of being a commuter student. 'tHialeah traffic sucks, Mufloz said.

ADDEIIQ living at home, Mufioz has many reasons as to why living at home is ideal. She is glad she is not living in nasty, rat-hole dorms with no living space. She also enjoys the luxury of having her own bathroom. Caraballo and Martinez seem to prefer campus-living since they were not able to think of a single advantage of living at home, until Caraballo suggested that having your own room was a plus of living off-campus. A major difficulty in off-campus living is the inability to become involved in extracurricular activities and meet people. I go to school and then work, so it doesn't leave enough time to hang around school, since it takes an hour and a half to get home, Mufroz explained. After a long day of school and work, all she wants to do is go home. Caraballo and Martinez agree that this is a disadvantage, but they express their gratitude for their friend Clark Rinehart, also a freshman, who has allowed Caraballo and Martinez to make his room their home away from home. If it weren't for tClarkJ, I wouldn't know anyone, Martinez said. If they had the opportunity to participate in more school activities, Muhoz said that she would become more involved in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. I belong to the organization and they are always doing activities but I never have the time to meet with them, she explained. Martinez said he would definitely become more involved in sports, perhaps join the Baptist Collegiate Ministries, and expressed interested in participating in a Muslim club, like my friend Zane.'l With good humor, Caraballo said that sleeping would be his extracurricular activity. The freshmen boys expressed a strong desire to live on campus if they were given the opportunity and the means to do so. Muhoz, on the other hand, would not live on campus. If anything, she would like to live in a nice apartment near our Coral Gables campus, but she would still rather continue to live at home because her mom is always there and it's nice to have company.

Alpha Sigma Phi brothers go wild on Bid Day. CHERINE AKBARVIBIS STAFF When I decided to go through sorority recruitment back in 2003, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I'll just go to meet people, I said to myself. I had no idea what was in store for me. I never considered myself to be the sorority type, but figured I would give it a shot and see how I felt. Three years later, I'm a senior. It is the first night of recruitment and as I stand inside the Zeta Tau Alpha suite with the rest of my sisters, senior Katie Maloni turns to me and says, Can you believe this is our last pajama night EVER? Her words didn't have time to sink in before the door opened and we started singing to the startled potential new members walking through. As the week progressed, I kept thinking back on my previous three years and that first night of recruitment started to seem like a distant memory. My seniority was starting to sink in. I met up with one of our new members, freshman Samantha Lynn, in Starbucks a week or two after recruitment. Her story was fairly similar to mine: it was a last-minute decision and the next thing she knew, she was a Zeta. All she was looking for was a group of fun, tight-knit girls to hang out with and just have a good time. In the end, it's what almost every college student wants. Some choose to find it through recruitment and others prefer other routes. Regardless of a person's Views of sororities and fraternities, recruitment was, is, and always will be a great way to meet people, even if you don't end up joining. And by then, you can have your own mind made up instead of basing it off of MTV's Sorority Life. And as for non-Greek friends who will say that joining a sorority is just a way to buy your friends...to me, it's an investment. And in that case, I think I got a pretty good deal.

Through this organization I have had the privilege of meeting some of the most amazing women I know. Though the faces change every year as our chapter continues to grow, I continually look up to the women who make up my sisterhood. To this day, almost three years after going through recruitment, I am still able to look around the room during a chapter meeting and see the wonderful faces of so many women I admire. Upon joining Kappa in the fall of 2003, I was elected to the position of Philanthropy Chairman for the 2004 calendar year. This was a huge life-changing experience for me and by far the best year of my college career. During that time I was responsible for planning, organizing and coordinating all of our philanthropic endeavors. There has been no better feeling for me than the look of joy and sheer happiness on the faces of the those girls who are recipients of our Queen for a Day parties. To know that i was able to make a little girl with a terminal illness smile and feel special for a day is an indescribable high and an experience i will cherish for ever. Before joining this organization, I had only a few close female friends. Now, I have formed lifelong bonds with women who I look forward to playing cards with on a Sunday afternoon Team Kappa: Sisters of KKG pose with their coaches during the annual SAM Slam when we are old and our husbands are off smoking cigars together.

SERVICE JENNIFER c. RODRIGUEZIFOR THE IBIS Becoming a member of my sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha, has expanded my opportunities for community service in ways I could have never imagined. I can honestly say one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences of my entire college career was attending Race for the Cure each year. Seeing hundreds of breast cancer survivors and their family members gathered together in one place and knowing that I was making a difference in these people's lives was absolutely amazing. The entire Greek community is extremely dedicated to various philanthropies - whether it be Delta Gamma raising money for blind children at their Anchor Splash or Sig Ep's Week of the Heart, which raises money for and awareness about heart disease. There are also those special occasions when rivalries are put aside and Greeks come together as a whole to give back to the community, such as donating huge amounts of blood to the Red Cross during Greek Week or hosting Greeks and Goblins, a trick-or-treating experience for underprivileged children that takes place at Frat Row every Halloween. I will be forever grateful to my sorority and t0 the UM Greek system for helping me to see how great it can be to give your time and effort to such worthy causes.

SHANNON MURDOCKwFOR THE IBIS Just want discovered many new and amazing things. Not only have I learned how to plan new and fun mixers have with the amazing fraternities on campus, but also have begun to realize just how easy it is to become acquainted with the great city of Miami. Through traveling from venue to venue searching for just the right place for a mixer, I have been able to realize the wonderful social opportunities Miami has to offer. I have planned mixers at two amazing establishments: Feelings Cafe in Coconut Grove and Yage Bay Club on Key Biscayne. Both of these venues opened their club for our event, exclusively giving the lovely ladies and gentlemen the place to themselves. Both of these venues were incredibly helpful with providing me with what I had in mind which made planning these events that much easier. I am also able to enjoy the other exciting part of my position: the themes. For each event, I am able to choose a theme from which everyone will dress and accessorize, including an Iced- Out, which consisted of wearing all white clothing with a lot of flashy jewelry and Everything Gets Hotter When the Sun Goes Down. For this, we wore nighttime attire consisting of pajamas and other evening articles. After being in this position for a full semester, I have realized just how much I have enjoyed planning all of these spectacular events. Although at times my position can be somewhat stressful, I am always able to look at all of the wonderful experiences that have taken place and know that it was all worth it.

GREEK LIFE FRATERNITY SOCIALS WILL WOOTENNBIS STAFF PAR; ,1 31w Frats must work with UM to hold social events If you think fraternity parties at the University of Miami are anything like the stereotypical, uncontrolled madness seen in movies like Animal House or Revenge of the Nerds, you're anything but right. Before any of the six fraternities on frat row can hold registered parties at their houses, they must agree to several detailed stipulations set forth in a social events agreement. They must adhere to the strict guidelines, which are enforced by Associate Dean Gregory Singleton and the Office of the Dean of Students. First, chapters themselves cannot provide funding for alcoholic beverages. No hard liquor can be served, and no alcohol can be served from common containers , eliminating kegs and punches containing liquor. This limits fraternities to serving beer in cans, beer poured from glass bottles into plastic containers and wine coolers. Fraternities must also keep track of everyone who enters their parties. Everyone who attends must enter through the same entrance, present ID, and sign their name on a guest list. The number of guests in attendance must be no more than either 125 or twice the number of members in the fraternity, whichever is greater. Wristbands are issued to those who are over the age of 21, and anyone who does not receive a band cannot be given alcohol from the bar. The contract also requires fraternities to limit their parties to four hours in length, after which time a police officer, who is required to be present during the entire duration of fraternity parties where alcohol is consumed, checks the premises to make sure the party has ended. Because fraternities recognize the importance of the safety of their guests and their own chapter, they are almost always willing to work with these guidelines set forth by the University.

There are over 250 student organizations at the University of Miami, existing in ten different categories from academic to cultural to professional to community service. It sounds cliche to hear that joining a student organization is the best way to get involved on campus - but it's the truth. Joining an organization that matches your interests is the best way to get the most out of your college experience. Student organizations are extremely popular at UM, and they get things accomplished. Whether it's educating the community about Black Awareness Month or providing on-campus entertainment, our campus wouldn't be the same without these groups and the individuals that comprise them. The following section provides some basic information about different student groups on campus. From A Week for Life to The Yellow Rose Society, there surely is something for everyone.

LAVERYXIBIS STAFF Track 7: Senior Amy Cohen, pictured in the WVUM studio, runs the Friday 7 am. to 10 am. show. CHRISTINE DOMINGUEUFOR THE IBIS Since 1967, 90.5 WVUM, the University's resident student-run radio station, has brought students underground music and 24-hour programming from its headquarters in the UC. Except for the general manager and program director, the 80- person WVUM staff is there on a voluntary basis, committing to at least one show per week. DNVUMl works just like any other radio station, said general manager Kira Wisniewski. We have regular programming during the day and specialty shows during the evening. As general manager, Wisniewski oversees the entire station. I do everything from ordering office supplies to directing the executive board to hosting two shows myself on the air, she said. The music staff samples hundreds of CD5 a week to find the best music, often ignored by commercial radio, to put on the air. WVUM broadcasts 20 shows that feature specific genres of music, plus news and sports, which are a big part of WVUM. We broadcast every home football game, six volleyball games, three soccer games, home mens basketball games, all the womens basketball games and all the baseball games, said Sports Director Adam Aizer. As sports director, Aizer is responsible for running his Staff of almost 30 students aspiring to be play- by-play broadcasters, scheduling when they're broadcasting and when they're producing. Training new DJs is also a regular part of the station's routine. Currently, there are 64 people on the waiting list to DJ. The training director oversees the three-week course that each new DJ must take. We had a couple of training sessions, Christina Demetre, junior and DJ for WVUM, said. Each session within the studio was a full three-hour shift. We also were required to take a Federal Communications Commissionj exam to make sure we understand the rules and regulations. Demetre hosts the 4 a.n1. to 7 am. shift on Sunday mornings. As a new DJ, your show must be an overnight shift, Demetre said. This is where you really learn how to DJ and can work out all the kinks- you dont have too many listeners so it isn't as intimidating as a daytime shift. Matulli's Friday morning show offers Italian music and conversation in both English and Italian. Tweak: Amy Cohen monitors the controls as she broadcasts her live radio show.

Karaoke night was part of Coming Out Week. spectrUM and OUTspoken celebrate sexual diversity RAYMOND MATTHEwstOR THE IBIS In 1992, SpectrUM quietly began its first meetings in a classroom in Eaton to protect the confidentiality of its members. Our organization, which has previously secluded itself from campus, has begun to blossom as the social climate of campus continues to change. SpectrUM, which now boasts its own office in the UC, held its annual Coming Out Week this October. The campus-wide event celebrated diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity. The week included queer-themed events such as the screening of a documentary focused on transgender college students, as well as events that appealed to the entire campus, like the anti-hate candlelight vigil. These events also accommodated the different levels of comfort our members feel towards being out to the campus. The week allowed SpectrUM to demonstrate itself as an active campus organization, while at the same time including events which would protect the confidentiality of students who are not out on campus. SpectrUM has grown to become one of the best- known social and educational organizations on campus. We accept and welcome everyone, and we will keep working hard to promote tolerance and equality on campus. Belt your hearts out, boys!: Anthony Minerva, Chris Campbell, Lyle Hufstetler and Chris Fisher sing at SpectrUM's Coming Out Week's karaoke night. The week was full of events focused on celebrating sexual diversity on UM's campus and encouraging students to embrace their own sexual identity.

Both have the same goals: to encourage student activity in politics, and, of course, to promote the issues that are important to their political parties. Even during non-election years, there are many ways that students can get involved and become informed on important issues that affect them and they can make a difference, said Young Democrats President Christiane Gaymont. The Young Democrats have 60 members here at UM and have held many events that have had large audiences. They held a State of the Union watch party in the UC lower lounge where students ate pizza and chatted while they watched the speech. They have also had other events such has Progressive Awareness Week, which encompassed many smaller events such as Love a Democrat Day which was held on Valentines Day, complete with a bake sale nd and the invitation to see Howard Dean speak at FIU. On Iraq Remembrance Day, yellow ribbons were distributed to students in support of the troops who have fallen in Iraq. The Young Democrats are actively working with the Rod Smith and Jim Davis gubernatorial campaigns and have also addressed broader political issues such as education and environmental policy. I'm happy when I can reach out to someone and teach them how to get involved in a campaign or awareness about important issues, said Gaymont. It's particularly rewarding to see the results of hard work when we are successful and can promote our party. The UM College Republicans also strive to give students an avenue through which to participate and become aware of politics and important issues. T h e organization has 40 active members, and a listserv of over 250 students. They held a VeteranTs Day memorial event in November, a President's Day Party in February, and also held a well- attended State of the Union watch party, held in the UC Storm Surge Cafe. In April, the Florida Federation of College Republicans State Convention convened on UM's campus with 175 College 7 Republicans from across the state arriving to hear guest speakers and Republican candidates for office. It's great to be a part of a force that seeks to increase youth participation in the political process, said chair Sarah Canale.

As the weeks got closer and we prepared for our trip to Mississippi, 1 saw that many people were affected by Hurricane Katrina, both directly and indirectly. I was moved by those who made a conscious effort to help immediately and embraced the opportunity to represent the University of Miami and help those who had lost so much. Nothing prepared me for the experience I had. We went on a tour of the most damaged areas of Mississippi and the site a it was nothing less than jaw-dropping. We saw entrances to homes that had once greeted friends and family, which had now become the solitary remnant of a house that had now become a leveled pile of debris. We saw spray-painted signs indicating that former residents were okay and could be found. We met families that had been working for many weeks to salvage personal belongings and they were amazed and continuously grateful at the busload of college students who had come to help. red in Mississippi during Fall Break, along with hundreds from around the U.S. We played with kids and watched adults make decisions on whether or not to keep sentimental items that had been damaged, including wedding albums and their sons flrst shoe. These images made a lasting impression. The bond that was developed within our group during our reflection time made the trip memorable. Some of us had treaded through homes that had at least a foot of mud on the ground and were filled with the personal belongings 0f the families. Others tackled the streets, uncovering cars and other large items by cutting away branches. During our retlections at night, our desire to help only got stronger as we shared our stories and experiences of what happened during the day. We all left wishing we had helped even more while realizing that the few days spent to help a family or two had made such a difference in their lives. We combated the ruins of Hurricane Wilma with 339 a more powerful Hurricane of Help, and that made more of a difference than We could have ever imagined.

BIGG EVENT draws students, awareness EmEamms addessbody image problems PRIYANKA HANDMFOR THE IBIS Each spring, National Eating Disorder Awareness Week is celebrated in communities and college campuses nationwide to foster conversation and raise awareness of the alarming increase in eating disorders. At the University of Miami, we like to use this week to address the seed of all eating disorders: poor body image and low self-esteem. Passive programming and events cater to every student and faculty member regardless of age or gender. Anybody can be a Victim of body image distortion and it turns out that in image-driven Miami, most of us are Victims without our consent or knowledge. In my freshmen year when I started the student organization Body Image for Girls SI Guys tBIGGl, I never imagined the impact we would have. As a group, we focus on community outreach in local middle schools. BIGG members designed a curriculum to supplement Miami-Dade County Public School's health education on nutrition, exercise and eating disorders. This year BIGG partnered up with BARE tBody Acceptance Resource Educationl to plan the week. BIGG planned the kick-off for the week which featured a Body Image Bazaar at the Rock. Displayed was a large-scale canvas on which students could creatively express how they truly feel about body image. Students also had an opportunity to learn and show off their knowledge of body image issues among college students in a live game show. The Counseling Center was there advertising BARE's next big event-Friday's No Diet Day. Individuals could voluntarily sign a contract to gain a free wrist band-redeemable for a free drink at the Rat on Friday. The contract included clauses like not weighing yourself, not counting calories, eating based on hunger and fullness and engaging in at least one physical activity on Friday. The Wellness Center put on the very educational and fun-filled Mardi Gras-themed Wellness Expo. Members of the student organization COPE hosted the movie Dying to Be Thin and discussion.

We are members of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. Our team members range in ability from the very beginner who is riding for the first time, to very experienced riders who have been riding all of their lives. The common thread that unites them all is their love of horses and the equestrian sports. Any University of Miami student is eligible to be a member of the team. We compete in hunt seat and western. Members may choose to compete in only one or both riding styles. The team meets on a weekly basis, on campus. It is at these meetings that fundraising, community service, planning horse shows, and other team business are discussed and planned. The UM- Equestrian Team promotes high standards in sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, service and professionalism. The University of Miami Equestrian Team was started in the fall of 1997. It was the dream of our founding member and president, Caroline Buckley. While over 100 people showed interest in the team, on April 1, 1998, there were only 20 paid members. UM Equestrians traveled to South Carolina to compete in the College of Charleston Hunt Seat Show on November 19.

The free shows are a great way for students to learn about bands they otherwise might not check out. Most of the Patio Jams Yve been to I didn't know about before hand... I would be walking around campus and I'd hear music playing in the distance, and I'd end up getting sidetracked to listen to whatever band is playing, said sophomore Robert Weber-Velez. The bands showcased perform in a variety of genres, which means there is always something for everyone. One week there may be a reggae-style band performing, and the next it could be a local rock band. Everyone's tastes are represented. Patio Jams is run by Hurricane Productions, an entirely student-run organization, handles most of UM's entertainment needs. They are responsible for bringing Wyclef to campus during Hurricane Howl and are behind most of our on-campus concerts as well as plays and fllms, speaker forums and more. Since the music is performed during most students' lunch break, the next time you are passing by, pull up a chair and see if the band may become your new favorite. It's great to just chill and have lunch and listen to music with some friends, Weber-Velez said.

It was showtime. All the lines had been rehearsed, the balloon arch was made, and the promotional T-shirts that read Buy Me had been worn around campus. All the preparations had been made and now the only thing that could be done was hope it would all come together. AASA, whose goal is to cultivate Asian identity, culture, and issues by holding social and cultural events, facilitating educational workshops, and building community strength, OFF DURING holds the date auction every year as a fundraising event. Satirical skits broke down cultural stereotypes and showcased self-confidence and a wide range of talent through each participant's performance. Guys and girls auctioned themselves off for a date with an audience member - most of the dates consisted of lunch by the Rock or a double date with another pair. As the night went on, bids rose as high as $110. Performances included acrobatics, kung-fu, tae kwon d0, dancing, playing guitar and singing, and even origami. Along with performances, skits were performed. This year's skit theme was a Ms. Asian America beauty pageant.

HARRY MADHANGOPAUIBIS STAFF The Indian Students Association has a very active presence on campus. We started off strong as the first meeting had well over one hundred eager students. Immediately after the fall semester began, we started to work on our calendar of events. The first event we held was GarbalRaas Night. The turnout was close to 120 people, about a third of which were not Indian. In addition to having fun parties, the ISA is always looking to promote social causes. National Gandhi Day gave our members a chance to spend time assisting in the local Miami community, while United Nations Day allowed us to bring social issues, like children's education, to light. Our largest event of the fall semester is our annual Diwali Show. Diwali is our festival of lights and we hold a cultural show to celebrate. The annual event always attracts an audience of close to a thousand people, which includes students, faculty, and member of the community. ISA continues to stay strong in the spring with an exciting schedule of events. We co-sponsor South Beach Bhangra, which in three years has become the largest and best Bhangra competition in North America. We also are active participants in International Week with COISO. Students who come to our exhibit during Asia Day are always guaranteed a taste of India through food, culture, and giveaways. We also like to relax with our freshmenlsenior basketball game which pits the underclassmen against the upperclassmen in some friendly competition. To close the year off, we have an event which, the past few years, has been a cruise. You'll always be able to learn and experience something new when you come to ISA events, but most of all, you'll have fun!

Freshmen athletes don't get the chance to meet other freshmen in the dorms, said Akilah Moore, a sophomore soccer player majoring in political science. They live in Mahoney, Pearson, and Eaton, where upperclassmen who already have made friends on campus aren't as eager to go out and meet new people. So athletes naturally turn to each other. Even after freshman year, when the time comes to pick roommates, the soccer team sticks together. We can relate better to what each other is going through, said senior english and history major Kelly Pflugner. We understand the demands of playing a sport and going to school. Moore said that close friendships between the team members stem from their pre-season time at UM, when not many people are on campus. In the rare time we have that soccer is not occupying our time, we do anything and everything to have some fun, Pflugner said. The teammates love spending time in the Grove and South Beach as well as going out to eat; they are regulars at Beverly Hills Cafe and Akashi. We spend so much time together that by the time school starts we've already bonded, Moore said.

Athletes like Woodlee come to Jerome for help with specific injuries and maintaining their flexibility in general. INSIDE THE TRAINING ROOM: athletic trainer JASON JEROME JODI COPLANABIS STAFF Graduate student Jason Jerome, athletic trainer for the men's and women's cross country teams, has dedicated his life to his love of sports. After playing receiver and safety for his high school football team, Jerome found his true calling in the world of running. After graduation from high school, Jerome went on to run track for Eastern Illinois University where he majored in Athletic Training. One of the greatest challenges facing all college athletes is the time and dedication one must give to both the team and schoolwork. Today, he contributes his hectic schedule to his training sessions beginning some days at 5 a.m. while also juggling night classes two days a week. Jerome understands and points out the grueling schedule these cross country runners face everyday during the season.

Unlike most contact sports where you have other players on the field or court to back you up, or another chance to prove yourself, such as in football and basketball, cross country is an individual sport based on the own runners physical and mental strengths. Every year these men continue to improve: this year the men placed one spot above last years ACC finals. These men get no compensation for their hard-work as the team is only allotted one financial scholarship, Jerome said. lid say they are doing a pretty good job. With just pure adrenaline and love for the sport, these men placed 10th out of 21 teams at Regional Finals hosted at the University Of Florida on Nov. 11, giving the 2005 men's cross country team their second highest finish in University of Miami history. SPORTS WOMEN'S CROSS COUNTRY a season for The Distance rumer ERIC KALISNBIS STAFF Schultz breaks school record The close of the 2005 season for women's cross-country was bittersweet. Senior Melanie Schultz had the greatest season of any distance runner in University of Miami history. However, Head Coach Amy Deem and the Hurricanes will have to move on without their star, who graduates in May. By earning fourth place honors in the NCAA South Region Championships in November, Schultz became the first Hurricane to qualify for the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., where she flnished 153rd out of 253 competitors. Schultz, who came to UM as a walk-on four years ago, was the team's top finisher in 18 consecutive races. She came in 15th at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships with a time of 19:56.1, making her the first Hurricane woman to run six kilometers in less than 20 minutes. While Schultz had a season for the ages, she was not alone. Sophomore DeeDee Phlatts placed 39th overall to lead the squad to a 13th place finish at the Disney Cross-Country Classic, which features some of the nation's top runners. Juniors Ginou Etienne and Allison McElhaney had solid seasons and will have to work together to fill the void left by Schultz's departure.

Freshmen Angelica Ellis and Lindsay Fletcher had other things on their mind. They were making sure that none of the equipment was getting left behind. Rookies . . . Any form of hazing is strictly prohibited among players, but that doesn't stop Head Coach Nicole Welch from making the new girls earn their keep. Senior middle blocker Karla Johnson said it's all in good spirit, though. 'lBesides carrying stuff here and there, no one expects anything, Johnson said. We're a very close team. We all work together and no one is above anyone else. Johnson, a fourth-year starter out of Houston, is a biomedical engineering major.

She spends a lot of her time giving support to the other girls. Just by being there I feel that I'm contributing, said Fletcher, who has been playing volleyball since the 7th grade. The fact is that I cant play now, and until I can, my place is right here supporting my team. Neither Fletcher nor Johnson Claimed to have Chosen the University of Miami for its athletic tradition. Both said it was the family-oriented team management style, more than anything else, that drew them to Coral Gables. They practice together nearly every day and often play up to three games a week. Coach Welch places a great deal of value on team unity. When the new freshmen arrived this year, she wasted no time building it up with a team scavenger hunt. Item itl: Find Assistant Coach Matt Bostfordls favorite tree on campus. Of course, none of us new girls knew what to look for, Fletcher said. We had to work with the older girls. We found everything together. It gave us a chance to see the campus and get to know each other at the same time. It was a lot of fun. The University of Miamils women's volleyball may never get the same recognition as a five-time national champion football team, and they may never be as feared as a baseball program with 20 College World Series appearances. They are, however, a solid 0.500 team who demand the respect of all the opponents they face and a group of girls who have formed tight bonds with one another that will last as long as any NCAA title. For the record, Coach Bostford's favorite tree, the huge banyan in front of the Rock, fell victim to Katrina soon after the hunt.

SPORTS DIVING 101 Swimming and diving ranks as top college memory JULIA ILOWIECKVFOR THE IBIS I recently overheard another student asking their friend what their best college memory was. I wasn't surprised to hear them say that it was an Around the World shot party at one of the frats, where his best friend threw up on some freshman girls. That got me thinking. I remembered a lot of great laughs and cries since becoming a Hurricane, but it was my involvement on the UM swimming and diving team that truly changed my life. There were only seven of us e each from a different state, some from different countries. Some had competed in the Olympics and national events, and some were having their first experience with intense athletics, diving for one of the best dive teams in the country. The practices were TOUGH. Sometimes I would leave holding my back, barely able to bend over from the rigorous training. With jealousy, I would listen to my other friends talk about taking a nap after class when I knew I would be heading to my second two-hour practice of the day. But then I would get to the pool, see the smile on my two coaches' faces, and hear the laughter of my teammates. When I was afraid to go for a new dive they would cheer me on and give me confidence e confidence that I will depend on throughout life. We pushed each other and supported one another, whether it was telling a teammate ten thousand times that they could do a dive or listening to a teammate talk about a hard time they were going and trying to make them feel better. When I come back to Visit I know I will walk by the pool and look for the divers. There will be many new faces and maybe some new equipment. But over the splashing water and bouncing diving boards I know I will hear one familiar soundelaughtereand I cannot ask for a better memory than that. 2005-6 SWIMMING AND DIVING TEAM: Dize Atagoksel, Allison Bardowell, Heather Bounds, Amy Caron, Emerson Davis, Capria DeVenuto, Jenna Dreyer, Tara Erwin, Melissa Froelich, Nancy Gajos, Casey Heffernan, Melinda Hochard, Andrea Hughes, Ashley Knapp, Angela Lowe, Sarah Lozier, Kristen Lunak, Kristen Pomerleau, Jennifer Powell, Christina Rau, Margaret Ravenna, Melanie Rinaldi, Kathryn Roxbury, Derek Starks, Hallie Turkish, Tess Waresmith, Magda Waszkiewicz, Kelly Withum, Christine Zwiegers SWIMMING AND DIV 10w3-4w05 10N5w05 IVZwOS 1V18-20w05 12N-3w05 IZwZ-AVOS IZNBwOS V6w06 VWOG V14w06 V18-22w06 VZVOG V28w06 2w9-12w06 ZNS-ISwOG 2w25-26w06 3NO-l2w06 3NB-l8w06 3w23-24w06 4w20-23w06 Intra Squad - Versatility Challenge Florida Atlantic Marylandeuket Georgia Tech Invitational U.S. Open Ohio State Invitational North Carolina StaterNorthwestern Matt Gribble Invite Matt Gribble Invitational Florida Statet National Team Selection Camp Florida International Florida AtlantidNew Orleanszampa AlI-Star Challenge ACC Championship Bulldog Last Change Meet NCAA Zone Diving Meet Womenls NCAA Championships Menls NCAA Championships US Open Diving Championships Coral Gables, Fla.

SPORTS FOOTBALL dedicated with a Kicker Brian Monroe gets personal With his game JODI copLANABIS STAFF Junior kicker Brian Monroe started his football career during his freshman year of high school in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Playing defensive back for a short period, Brian, as well as the Miami Hurricane coaches, saw his calling to be a kicker and punter. Brian finds inspiration in his motherls strength and capability to overcome the many challenges in her life, but this is not the person for whom he is winning games. At the age of 17, his sister was killed in a drunk driving accident. Brian remembers his sister and dedicates each and every game to her by wearing her initials on his wristband. Being nervous for a game is in the past for Brian. Having thousands of eyes from the television cameras does not faze him anymore, it is just a camera, he says. Brian believes it is the fans support in the stadium, which helps contribute to his success during games. Without the rowdiness and support the game is boring, and you having nothing to prove, he says. As a football team, Brian feels it is crucial to know your team members on a more personal level in order to bring home those Hurricane victories. Most of Brian's Closest friends are members of the team as well, not only men on Special Teams, but also men on the Offensive and Defensive Lines. When you go out on to the field you are not only contributing for your fans but also so you can help your friend. Brian Monroe hopes his performances as a Miami Hurricane lead him to a career in the NFL, but only time will tell.

With Calais Campbell and Ryan Buescher, that wasn't the case. Both from the Denver area, the two went to rival high schools and met while playing basketball together their senior year. Upon their acceptance to the University of Miami, the two quickly became friends.

This is where Calais feels Buescher comes into the picture. It's good to have friends outside the football team, Calais said. Last year I would always go to Ryan's room and hang out after practice. He was my connection to the regular students, especially with him being in a fraternity and living in the freshmen dorms. I didn't want to be just a football player, but a regular college student as well. Buescher loves seeing his best friend on the field but also feels a sense of pride for his hometown. It's a cool feelingX' he said. I see him out there and then on ESPN and they're talking about the Denver area and how he used to play basketball, but then got recruited for football. You don't see a lot of good athletes coming out of the Denver area and going to big schools. It's nice to see that every now x and then, and its even better because it's my friend that it happened to. Along with their extra activities, both have taken on a heavy course load as well. Calais has declared his major in the School of Communication as an Advertising and Sociology double major while Buescher will perhaps one day be Calais' agent with a major in Sports Administration and a minor in business. This year, with both living off campus and their hectic schedules, Calais can no longer just hang out in Buescher's room like he used to. But when they do see one another, it's just like old times.

She is conhdent that the team accomplished their goals this season and is convinced that this is just the start of their glory. As a student spectator, it is a magnihcent team. What cannot be seen from the outside are the values and principles Meier has set for her team: Play hard with character, overcome adversity. According to Meier, one of the hardest parts about coaching is going after what no one else can see and making the team have continuous faith in that Vision. PHOTO COURTESY THE MIAMI HERALD Meier was given the task of forming thirteen new relationships and bringing back a team that always had the potential for greatness. They beat three ranked teams, took Duke into double overtime, and f1nished sixth in the upper- half of a competitive conference. Anyone could see the instant bond that formed between team, coach and staff this year. This was a blessing for Meier who chose UM because of the devotion of students and administration and the schools emphasis on academics. Senior Katie Hayek spoke admirably about the woman she feels has made constructive Changes to the basketball program. I'm very proud to say that I was on the first team she coached at UM, Hayek said. One thing I would tell tMeierl is to continue to strive for her goals, despite the adversity she will face.

With wins over both Oklahoma State and Creighton, this season marked the second time in school history that the Hurricanes won two post-season games. The Canes entered the tournament as a third-seed team and made it all the way to the quarterfinals, where they fell to the top-seeded University of Michigan. The team was led this year by the duo of junior Guillermo Diaz and senior Robert Hite. Together, the two guards made up one of the top three-point field goal shooting teams in UM history. Both players also rank in the top-ten on the UM career scoring list. Diaz was named second-team All-ACC for the second consecutive season and Hite was named third-team All-ACC. This season was the teams second in the competitive Atlantic Coast Conference, and the team managed to finish with a regular-season conference record of seven wins and nine losses. The team was paired up against some of the best college teams in the country, including Duke, Florida State, and the University of North Carolina, and managed to hold their own against some of the top teams. The Canes impressed everyone with their remarkable level of performance this year, breaking records and reaching goals, and have been steadily improving over the past few seasons. The men's basketball team should continue to be a team to watch out for in the upcoming years.

Keaton Copeland SPORTS UCCESS I Women's tennis team holds individual national rankings While remaining team players keep up the talent WOMEN'S TENNIS ALEX STERANKAABIS STAFF Tennis is an individual sport and it can be hard to balance individual success and working well with the team, especially with the competitive atmosphere all around. The Miami tennis team however, seems to have most things worked out. Everyone is doing their part and holding each other accountable, said junior Audrey Banada. The women actually have very different personalities but they come together as a team to take care of business and get along well. If you are going to play for this program you are going to have to work hard, said Paige Yaroshuk-Tews, head coach for five years. She added that the current team was without question, the most talented in quite IF THEY 60 some time. OUT AN D The team retains a roster of very impressive players including Audra COM PETE Cohn who is currently ranked As H ARD fourth in the country. She and Melissa Applebaum are ranked AS THEY 13th in the nation in double teams. Talent is definitely an important CAN 5 aspect, but some feel that hard work TH EN I AM is more important at the current stage of play. SATISF I E D At the college level, it is a matter WIN OR of which teams work harder, said Banada. It takes lots of hard lOSE' work from each player on a team to separate themselves from their competition and Banada shows exactly what dedication and commitment is required. Not even career-ending injuries have slowed her down. Banada has had to deal with a serious ankle injury that has been with her since she started playing tennis for Miami. I shouldn't even be playing, Banada said. But I am just driven to play tennis. It is that ethic and desire that is required to be successful. Tennis is a competitive sport and players need to have a competitive nature to do well. They want to win every time they step out onto the court, said Yaroshuk-Tews. We have such a competitive group, said Banada. It also is a good quality to have during practice. We all just want to be better than each other, in a good way.

All three agree that tennis was anything but fun early on, but this quickly turned around when Head Coach Mario Rincon was hired. For Hoyes, his first meeting with Rincon is something he will always remember. I could feel a connection right away, Hoyes said. I knew Coach Rincon would be taking us places. Two years later, Rincon has the team in the hunt for a national championship, as Hechtman, Hoyes and Krebs have soared to new heights. The three have played marvelously this year, turning in a number of dominating performances during the regular season. Hechtman finished 22-8 in singles play, while Hoyes and Krebs were 2L7 and 23-7, respectively. Each player plans on pursuing a professional tennis career for at least a year, but before that hope to leave behind a legacy at UM. PHOTO BY ALEX J.

Hoyes wants to be remembered as someone who would take one for the team. Krebs said he would like acknowledgment as one of the players who helped to turn things around. It has been a bumpy ride for Hechtman, Hoyes and Krebs, but it would be validated by a national tjmmllu championship. l l l l is men When we walk into stadiums, people just stare at us, Krebs said.

The girls saw multiple successful seasons throughout their time on the team, facing challenges and making memories along the way. essica A. artin YEARS 0N TEAM: 4 FAVORITE ROWING MEMORY: My favorite rowing team memory is when we got second place overall at the Big East Conference. That was the most successful season we had as a team, and it was an honor to be a part of it. I clearly remember crossing the finish line and sitting there waiting for the final results, since the race was too close to call. The best feeling was when they announced that we had in fact beaten Syracuse. MacKenzie Dove YEARS ON THE TEAM: 4 BEST PART ABOUT ROWING: I think that rowing is a sport that forces you to overcome obstacles and limits. In rowing, your body and your ability to push through physical limits to maximize performance is all you have. To be able to do this every day with other young women who are all striving toward the same goal is an amazing thing to be a part of. To me, rowing forces you to become engrossed in a constant quest of becoming stronger, faster, and eventually better. Caroline Fernandez YEARS ON THE TEAM: 3 FAVORITE ROWING MEMORY: I remember my sophomore year, when every boat entered at the Florida Intercollegiate Rowing Association's won a first place medal. However, a close second would have to be the van ride back from a scrimmage vs. UCONN and Barry at the Krome Quarry. Let's just say the Bohemian Rhapsody will never be the same! Rachel Clau sin g YEARS ON THE TEAM: 4 WHAT I'LL MISS THE MOST: I'll miss the unique closeness you develop with your teammates when you trust them completely to put their bodies on the line every time you pull up to the starting gates.

The University of Miami menis baseball team began their 615t season of play with a newly-improved stadium and Fifteen newcomers highlighted this season's roster, so enthusiastic freshmen and sophomores help fill the starting lineup. Despite their young roster, the team has shown great promise and remains highly respected among fans, coaches, and other teams. The team was ranked 5th and 11th by ACC coaches and collegiate baseball's pre-season polls, respectively. The team started the season with two impressive in- conference sweeps against rivals Virginia Tech and Duke.

Freshman Dennis Raben is considered one of UM's most diversely talented players, with the ability to pitch and play in both the outfield and infield. Freshman Blake Tekotte adds power to the Cane's batting lineup as a leadoff power-hitter. Two other freshmen joined the UM roster this year after turning down offers from Major League Baseball organizations. Yonder Alonso was a 15th round selection for the Minnesota Twins, but chose to make his collegiate debut as a third-baseman for the Canes. Jemile Weeks also turned down an MLB offer after being selected in the 8th round by the Milwaukee Brewers, the same organization for which his brother, Ricki Weeks, plays. With such an impressive roster of eager young players, the UM baseball team will be a force to reckon with in the years to come.

BASEBALL ballgame TYLER SMINKEWIBIS STAFF Attending the University of Miamiis baseball games is a favorite pastime for many UM students, faculty and Coral Gables community members. During the game, fans arenit left without sustenance to keep their Cheers coming. They can Choose from a selection of things to eat: slices of pizza, chicken fingers and fries, hot dogs, chips, peanuts, cracker jacks, water and soda. One fan says he doesn't know what keeps him coming backM the game or the grub. The younger crowd in the audience consists of students from nearby elementary, middle and high schools. These students often attend in their own school's baseball gear just to watch the game and beg the players for autographs at the end. I figure I will get their signatures now before they hit the big leagues, said 13-year-old Drew Daly. UM students can be found scattered in the bleachers enjoying the South Florida sun, or relaxing on a cool spring night watching the players take to the diamond. Older members of the community often purchase season tickets to the games and can be spotted at almost every event. These devoted attendees sometimes even keep their own record of the playersi statistics. One older fan said, Going to these games 'H keeps me feeling young and full of life Through programs like Baseball Buddies, the baseball team makes a special effort to incorporate their young fans and keep up attendance to their games. By announcing the kids' teams over the public address system and giving them a chance to talk one-on-one with the players and coaches, the team becomes an important part of the Coral Gables community.

This lacrosse dream was started three years ago by a couple of graduating seniors, Sean Mulligan and Tucker McFall, whose passions for lacrosse did not end once they came to college. Through hard work and dedication, the two put together a team that was able to go undefeated in conference play this past spring en route to its championship. Many never put together the words lacrosse and Florida in the same sentence, however with a large Northeastern student population tincluding creator Sean Mulliganl, and a boom in the popularity of the sport throughout private schools in South Florida, the University of Miami lacrosse team saw continual improvement. The players have normality of any other college student: classes, homework, and a job. However, this sport at UM has no athletic scholarships awarded. There's no excused absences from class for practice or games. This team is self-Coached and self-funded. They carpool to their away games. What it does have that is similar and rivals other varsity sports is a love and passion that brings 24 guys together to play the fastest game on two feet. Three nights a week, this group of teammates meets on the 1M fields amidst other Club sports to go over offensive plays and defensive formations. They play into the night, hoping the lights come on, to keep playing the sport they all love. Then on the weekends, they wake up when many are coming home from the night to travel to play away games. For home games, they get together on a Saturday afternoon in front of the dorms forgoing sleeping in or beach days. Ask anyone on the team and they'll all agree they would do it all again in a second to hoist the cup. Taking the Florida Championship title was just the first step into building a strong, nationally recognized lacrosse program. To strengthen their play, they squared off against teams from the USILA, the top tier league for Club lacrosse. Faring well against the USILA competition, the men's team hopes to enter into the USILA this upcoming year and face the Club teams of FSU, UF, Maryland, and UNC on a regular basis. They hope to soon make winning Championships a yearly tradition for the lacrosse team as it has been in other UM sports.
