Mungkterrys song In The Summertime tells listeners, In the summertime when the weather is high you can stretch right up a d touch the sky... have a drink, have a drive. Go out and see what youu can fyfd. UM students clearly heard his words this year. When xxtg'LtEILthiree glorious months to do whatever they want, they fill their summers with various activities ranging from fun in the sun, to boosting their resumes. Each year, students decide to take summer classes to get credits out of the way. Some take Classes at UM, others at colleges in their hometown, and some decide to mix travel and school and take courses abroad. Senior Ashley Williams studied abroad for three weeks in Tokyo, Japan as part of the Asian Studies Program at Sophia University. I went to Japan because it was something live always wanted to do. We always been fascinated by Japan, and when I saw the opportunity I jumped on it, Williams said. Some students decide to leave school behind for a while to get a taste of the real world with a summer job or internship. Junior Zoe Schwartz worked as an advertising intern for Crispin Porter 8t Bogusky in Coconut Grove. tilt was a learning experience that has widened my opportunities for future careersf Schwartz said. There are other students who chose to take part in summer activities that have nothing to do with boosting their resumes. Sophomore Leah Adams went on a road trip from Daytona, Florida to North Carolina this summer. tiWe went horseback riding and white water rafting. l was really scared, but at the same time it was the most fun We ever had, Adams said. Whether theyire getting ciasses out of the way, working, or traveling, UM students find exciting ways to fill their summers, taking the time to go out and see what they can find. ghee V--r A TOP FIVE WAYS TO SPENDSUMMER eraveling Qtudv Abroad Working 4Taking Classes DANiELLE MCNALLY W la; ' THIS LITTLE PIGGY CAN SWIM emlng helio teas WV w 3 ,, . 1 ROME, ITALY , J wr' TC I 7 IN I C .7 r W C , .7 atgglifestyles BRANDON GSARLES 1 mm WW CIRCUSACT,1T r.

This year was no different. A new academic year brings a new Class of incoming freshmen and transfer students prepared to face the challenges of being a college student. For some, the move-in process signified a new-found liberation, yet for others, moving in meant parting from parents and security blankets. Whatever the case may be, move-in day certainly was a day one can never forget! Aside from the raging mob scene at Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond, the process of moving in went as smoothly as it could have, said freshman Susan Peavy. Many students had help from their loved ones as they moved in, which simplified the moving process for them. The hardest part for most was saying goodbye to their family and friends. Others felt that move-in day was overwhelming. Brittany Stutzman was part of one of the last freshmen groups to move in because of her late-in-the-alphabet last name. Her move-in day was the same day as the start of orientation, adding on to the stresses of getting settled in. I hadnlt even started unpacking before I had to leave again for orientation obligations, she said. Dani Ames had a different experience as a transfer student from Wisconsin. At first, she was temporarily placed with an RA because there was not enough permanent living space available. When she was finally permanently moved to Pearson it was weird, because most everyone knew each other, she said. Whatever the experience, whatever the story, freshman Elana Schechtman best summarizes what most new students feel about being away from home. I have to admit that move-in day was rather intimidating. I didnt know how the process worked, what my room would be like or who I would be living with. Since that day I have come to realize there was nothing to be anxious about. I love Miami and I love this school. I think about home from time to time, but there is nothing more exciting than being at school here at the URI RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING W? w'w'riarwwcbu Wm 1 13M? Mme MD STEVt Ma 3?

HC QR STORY BY CARRIE HANSOerBlS STAFF It is often said that to best understand a story, one must start at the beginning. From August18 to 23, approximately 2,000 freshmen descended upon University of Miamils campus prepared to author the beginnings of their own college stories with help from a staff of over 200 volunteer Orientation Assistants. 'tOrientation is generally a time when freshmen are feeling all sorts of different emotions, Orientation Coordinator Danny Carvajal said. ltLetting go of their parents who are crying at the doorstep tor maybe even rejoicingy is only one hardship freshmen must face. Being thrown into a University of 10,000 other students with the task of making new friends, moving into their new homes, and learning their way around campus and Miami can be very intimidating. The Orientation staff really does a fantastic job of alleviating all these feelings that freshmen are faced with during their first days on campus. Over the course of their first week, new freshmen attended information sessions on various topics. Long after they L7; to meme tliis if $7 ?tl lV it 9 forget Dean Singletonls lecture on the responsibilities of being in college, these students will remember the message conveyed to them by another esteemed member of the University community -Sebastian. Cane Kickoff marked the official start of Orientation on August 19. Freshmen met with their assigned Orientation groups in the BankUnited Center for an evening of motivational speeches from lCanes football coach Larry Coker and womenls basketball coach Katie Meier and hip-hop poetry performances by Sekou and Steve Connell. Students also learned chants from the UM Cheerleading team with a little help from Miamils favorite gesticulating Ibis. Carvajal said, ltWe wanted to get new students excited about being Hurricanes right away! Cane Kickoff was extremely welcoming and full of school spirit, freshman Sarah Koblick said. I knew after this event that I wanted to be a Miami Hurricane? .. 1k; i PHOTO BV KATHRYN BAINNBiS STAFF FRESHMEN GET THEIR FIRST TASTE OF THE U DURING PRESIDENT SHALALNS PICNIC PHOTO BY KATHRYN BAINM S STAFF W; m1; Arjfmwx PHOTO BY KATHRYN BAINABIS STAFF dtggmfestyles CAMPUS LIFE AT THE LAKE W V CAMPMJ Sunny skies and endless offerings of things to do, UM is ? S'tiorzv BY AND! WANDTABis STAFF A ND JOANNA DAVILAriBiS STAFF In ween the hustle and bustle of a b sy day, students manage to find the me to relax and just hang out between classes. Throughout each weekday, the University of Miami campus provides some comfortable respites from the stress of education. Among the tropical palm trees and massive concrete buildings, students make their own oasis of hangouts in many of the campus; most popular areas. For Starbucks, the busiest time of the day occurs during the fifteen minutes between classes as rushing students head to the coffee shop for their caffeine buzz. But many students grab their Frappuchino or Chai Latte and relax, reading a book or newspaper, or getting some last minute studying in for an English quiz. Im in Starbucks almost every day, junior Steven Ehrlich said. Its in a convenient location and almost every time I,m here, I run into someone I know. Thanks to our tropical climate, UM students have an incredible luxury: poolside weather all year long. The UC Pool is a paradise in an academic jungle. After classes, students can be multitasking poolside-studying and working on their tan. Its pretty awesome that we have the pool right in the middle of campus, freshman Lana Seligsohn said. Where else but in Miami could you go to pool to unwind right after your Econ exam? FOR THE CAMERA Modeisi PP persohhoi arid ai that made the Siam mat GiveS Back trash?

Walking in, ones eyes are immediately drawn to the five poster- sized Sports Illustrated covers of national championships won by the Hurricane football team. The posters, donated by the Homecoming Committee, became a large part in establishing UM spirit at the Rat, keeping with its feel as a sports bar where students go to watch football games with other dedicated Hurricane fans. Besides being a great place to watch sports, the Rat is a part of the UM community. Senior Kenny Dolan, who and now is assistant general manager, considers the Rat a student organization without being a student organization, where everyone who works here are friends. There is a great deal of student representation at the Rat. Fraternity paddles have been hanging in the Rat since its opening and several student-made collages can be seen on the walls. The memorabilia donated by the existing student body with UMls rich history. Everett Price, manager of the Rat and alumnus of UM Class of 84, works hard to provide an environment where students, faculty and administrators can get together. While the Rat is part of a chain of restaurants on college campuses usually geared towards sports, each one is unique and Miamils in particular is geared toward the students. EThe Rat is student initiated, student funded, and student operated. Without student support, the Rat wouldnlt be here. Any profits earned are invested back into the Rat in an effort to make it better, said Price. The Rat will be relocating to the new University Center and its staff is making a concerted effort to maintain the same vibe in the new Rat as in the current one. : 711w, I191 According to Dolan, photographers will be taking pictures of all the memorabilia in the entire Rat as it currently is in the hope of replicating the atmosphere in the new Rat. 1E'I17IlIE-m 'fll 3 lil' T'IL'I 7,. -The Story of 'Alcohol on Campus The Rathskeller was opened on December18, 1972. Consumption of alcohol on campus was first allowed in 1971 when the Board of Trustees approved the use of alcoholic beverages by persons 18 and older in the public areas of the Student Union, residence halls, fraternity houses and public buildings at registered social functions. Several years of appeal were necessary before Coral Gables agreed to allow the Rat to serve beer. 1Thelegaldr1nking age was raised to.21 in 1987.

STORY BY GREG LINCHABIS STAFF AND PAIGE FEIGENBAUMABIS STAFF PHOTOS BY ERIC LINwIBIS STAFF Malcolm Gladwell, a writer for The New Yorker, spoke at the University of Miamils third annual Fall Convocation this year. More than 700 students, faculty, and staff gathered in the BankUnited Center to hear his presentation about his recent best-selling book, Blink, and related topics. He said that college students will be taught all kinds of information, but that is only part of their education. A bigger part of your education is not learning individual facts about things but rather learning how to think, Gladwell said. Relating all these ideas to the students in attendance, Gladwell said that they are taught to slow down and gather all the evidence before making a conclusion. What makes us smart is being able to sift through...things and to gather a few key variables that will matter, he said. I dont think we fully acknowledge just how important this notion of judgment is and what it means to make good decisions. llWe implicitly believe that this is the right way to make all decisions that are major and consequentialf he said, but emphasized throughout his speech how everyone should also be aware of the power of split-second impressions. Even if one is cognizant of this decision- making process, it is not so easy to know why. ttWe think that we can all explain exactly the way our minds are working and we forget that sometimes there are things we really cant explain, he said.

STORY BY PAIGE FEIGENEAUM WBlS STAFF , PHOTO BY GABY BRUNANBIS STAFF - CHiNEF JUSTICE JOHN G. ROBERTS, JR. tQUOTING GOLDA MEJNIRM On Monday, November13, 2006, students and guests of theiw University of Miami filed into the BankUnited Center to witness an interview with one of the nations most esteemed citizens. John G. Roberts, Jr., Chief Justice of the United States, visited campus as the inaugural speaker of the University Lecture Series, marking the second visit of a chief justice to the University of Miami. The late Justice William Rehnquist spoke at the university in 1978. The chants of UM cheers that typically paint the atmosphere of the BankUnited Center were replaced by a full auditorium of complacent and attentive undergraduates and graduates. To the satisfaction of many, Roberts began his speech with a quote from Golda Meir, tDon't be humble. You're not great enough. The essence of this quotation was evident throughout his conversation with Jan Crawford Greenburg, an ABC News correspondent who mediated the evening. Roberts clearly is more honored with his status than humbled. He said, If you think about it too much it can be paralyzing. I take away a rare appreciation...the rare opportunity to try to preserve the integrity of the judicial system. Roberts attributes the success of his first year as Chief Justice to the other justices. Although the other justices had been together for 11 years, Roberts said that they were very weicoming and supportive of him during his transition into the role of Chief Justice. The Supreme Court receives approximately 10,000 cases per year, but only has the opportunity to hear about 80 of these cases. Though the amount of petitions has risen from previous years, the amount of cases heard has decreased. Roberts asserted that uniformity is the main issue amongst the justices. I try to get the court to function as a court rather than nine separate individuals, he said. atfmfestyles TURN THE BEAT AROUND h n f W71 ' , MEN T M 16V We had prop practice, acting and music practices and we had people who were coming from Miami, Miami Lakes and JAIFE C ALIL FRESHMAN SHOW ING SPIRIT : TQ'WH' ': IQ H7 H' NITIN AGGARWAL AND MEGAN ANDERSON, SENIORS ZANDLE BURNING Vaditi its 3mg the aloha rnaier around the laze .rxriile wold l g candle; STORY BY DELlA AREVALOyl IBIS STAFF PHOTOS BY VERONICA SHAROerBlS STAFF When shouts of its Great to be a Miami Hurricane mix in with Justin Timberlakels SexyBack and elaborate costumes take the stage, you know it can only mean one thing: Homecomingls Organized Cheer. While the groups perform sleek and choreographed routines in the few minutes they have on stage, one might wonder: What did it take to get there? Some student groups, like the Association of Commuter Students, went all out. Performing a mock of the Wizard of 02,, titled the Wizard of OB tOrange BowD, they used an elaborate forest- painted banner, trees, and a house. The set certainly reflected their hours of work. We had a prop practice, acting and music practices and we had people who were coming from Miami, Miami Lakes and even Pembroke Pines, said sophomore Evelyn Rodriguez. i ; r grim UM Other groups didn't practice quite so extensively. The students of the Engineering Advisory Board held only two practices lasting from two to four hours each. But even without a lot of practice time, they showed their spirit with a theme involving a history of UM, complete with a hilarious look at what the first Sebastian looked like: a student wearing a paper mache Ibis. We really wanted to show the history of UM and all of the great things UM has done for us, said junior Nigel Stuke. But showing spirit was what it was ultimately all about. Aside from ocheer, members of the UM community came together Friday night at the Homecoming Parade and Boat Burning Celebration. With candles high in the air and the alma mater resonating around the lake, UM spirit shone bright, as students congregated to celebrate how truly great it is to be a Miami Hurricane! 3:3lifestyles ; JHURRICANE HOWL Hurricane Howl stirs up students with a concert by Damian Marley STORY BY PAIGE FEIGENBAUMtlBIS STAFF PHOTOS BY VERONICA SHARONtIBIS STAFF I want to satisfy the most amount of people possible and I thought Ehejl would achieve that goal. 7 E19- Ler RH:JE:W5L:WH The library literally turned into IIClub Richtertl at this years Hurricane Howl. There was certainly not much studying going on while Damian Ur. Gongt Marley, son of the legendary Bob Marley, reverberated his reggae beats throughout campus from the University Green just outside of the stacks. His Caribbean music put some rhythm in the feet of the most unrhythmic people. Marleyls set lasted nearly two hours with full energy. His long dreadlocks bounced along with the jumping audience, swaying lighters and cell phones through the air. When the show began, many students didn't know too much about Damien Marley. They quickly learned that reggae is enjoyable for most. Even if students had been familiar with all of the lyrics, it would be difficult to master the rhythm and intonation necessary to sing along. Dexter Robison, chair of the Hurricane Productions concert committee, supervised a team of 30-40 students to pull this event together. He chose to feature Marley because, I wanted to satisfy the most amount of people possible and I thought that him being a new artist and him being a successful artist would achieve that goalf He felt that he could tie in to Bob Marley fans as well? One of Marleyts background performers waved a Rastafarian flag to the beat of the music for the entire duration of the show, not making any fatigue visible. Though he was not slated to be the headline act, many students took notice to his extraordinary strength and endurance. Junior Betty Franky said, I was amazed with the energy coming from the flag bearer, he never once stopped waving the flag throughout the whole set! No offense to Damian Marley, but this guys job of waving a flag for an hour and a half might have been the hardest job of the show. My arm would have probably fallen after the first song. I was certainly impressed. Robison not only works behind the scenes in the music business. As a senior in the Frost School of Music, Robison is a member of a band called Like the TV Show. From the Damian Marley performance, he learned to incorporate Itstraight energy into his own performances. In reference to Marley, he said, He was constantly putting on a show and moving around. That is definitely what we draw for our performances.

This may be due to students pinching pennies and not investing in a substantial costume. More likely, everyone just uses Halloween as an opportunity for it to be acceptable to show off the results of long hours in the Wellness Center. Students gathered as a herd of cattle in Stanford Circle to board coach buses to the Grove. Junior Jacky Bolanos, dressed as the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, grew impatient waiting for a bus to take her to the Grove as three buses quickly filled up upon the opening of their doors at the curb. She said, I thought the FSU game was bad until I saw this. Her group of friends finally decided to take cars instead. Some students even claimed to have seen a student being struck with a taser gun by police. Hours later, this shuttle service was discontinued, due to everyone overcrowding the buses. Once you stepped foot in the barricaded streets of the Grove, you were soon engulfed in an endless mosh-pit of partiers trick or treating for beers and not traditional candy, but eye candy instead. In explaining one of the most memorable costumes she saw, Vandamas said a group of guys llwere a Myspace profile. He was carrying around a large piece of plywood. He inserted his face where his photo would be. His friends walked next to him and put their faces where his friends would be located on his profile page. As the clock struck 2 am, the piercing music was replaced by the whistles of the police officers, clearing the streets that were packed like Times Square on New Years Eve. Since the shuttle service had been cancelled, students decorated street corners, reminiscent of the infamous Hollywood and Vine. waiting for taxis to take them home. geflifestyles A FOOTBALL FLAVORED THANKSGIVING RECIPE wagggZEEM tablespoons of points for Miami ounces of memories of Bryan Data tablespoons pom s for Boston College serving of the U Family GRAND ENT 1 t iV-fiiflgl iii: elm RANCE tlza l gia UM students and their STORY BY PAIGE FEIGENBAUMrlBlS STAFF PHOTOS BY ASHLEY NORTOerBlS STAFF It has been a long tradition in America for family members to duel over the wishbone of the Thanksgiving turkey. The winner of the larger half of the wishbone gets to make a wish. This Thanksgiving, the gridiron of the Orange Bowl served as the table for a feast of football and family as the tCanes took on Boston College. Junior Rachel Holcomb and her family are a perfect example of duking it out over this much vied-for bone. Holcomb is a student at UM, but her cousin is a student at BC. The entire15-memberfamilyjoined together for the holiday, but remained torn over the game. Her grandmother even custom-made her own shirt, donning both Miami and BC. Thanksgiving wouldntt be complete without a buffet of food. Category 5 provided seniors with a turkey dinner in the end zone prior to the game. These festivities made it a bit easier for students to spend the holiday away from home. Senior Paul Burkart said, Thanksgiving at the Orange Bowl was quite the fun experience, even if the apple pie was frozen. Javier DelBusto, another senior, also took advantage of the meal. Though he is from Miami, he said, My mom didnlt put the turkey in early enough. He left his own familyts celebration early to join in with his UM family. Seniors also received a T-shirt to wear for their Senior Walk, which took place at this game as well. Burkart said, ttSenior Walk was a great experience; therets nothing like getting to walk on the Orange Bowl field. I only wish the game wasnlt on Thanksgiving so we could have had more seniors there. Though most students in attendance were there by choice, many bringing their families along, students in the Band of the Hour were required to sacrifice their traditional Thanksgiving plans in order to perform at the game. Missing his family back home in Staten Island, sophomore band member Anthony Minerva said, tllf we dont come we fail, because it is a class? Apparently not all UM classes take this holiday recess. When the game was over, it was clear that Holcomb must have won the larger half of the collarbone, for the lCanes won 17-14. She labeled the victory ta Thanksgiving miracle?

But New York City was not the only place full of action this New Years Eve. Many UM students traveled not just out of Miami, but out of the country as weII. Some international students, like Gustavo Pifano, junior, chose to go home. Pifano is from Madrid, Spain, and for him, the New Years party didnit end on January 2nd. January 6th is The Day of the Kings. A King's Cake is made and baked inside is a small doll that represents the baby Jesus. Everyone gets a piece and the person who gets the toy is crowned king for the day. My brother eats a lot and took my piece so I didnt find any, Pifano said. Otheris homes are not quite as far.

My fiance came down from Canada and he spent the holiday with me and my family. It was our first New Years Eve as an engaged couple and it made it even more special because I spent New Years with the people that mean the most to me, Dorn said. Then there were some whose New Years took a tragic turn. Senior Anjuli Pandit was in Bangkok, Thailand when terrorist bombs went off near the bar where she and her friends were celebrating. We chose Bangkok, and more particularly Central WorId Plaza, as the site to bring in the New Year because its their version of New York Cityis Times Square, Pandit said. With one minute to go, I decided to return from the plaza to my friends at the bar, and then I heard a loud 'BOOMI from behind me. Just feet from the spot where I had been standing were clouds of smoke and tourists were running at me fuIl speed? Pandit was stuck in the bar for two hours, where, eventually, people calmed down and started dancing and drinking. Not all New Years celebrations are as action-filied, but whether they went home a few states away or danced in a bar an ocean away, UM students certainly found interesting and memorable ways to welcome 2007.

The host committee and the National Football League joined forces to spread the spirit of the game to even non-sports enthusiasts by offering four quarters-worth of a wide array of events. This years game featured a confrontation between the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts. Former Hurricane and NFL Record Holder Devin Hester returned to his stomping grounds of the Hecht Athletic Center, as the Bears used UMis facilities to prepare for the championship. Practices were closed to audiences, but a few slick students were able to sneak a glance from the Ponce Garage. On the Tuesday leading up to the famous Super Bowl Sunday, thousands of media outlets from around the globe converged on the gridiron of Dolphin Stadium. Joining the pack of leading media professionals were several School of Communication students who took advantage of the rare opportunity of mingling with and interviewing such players and coaches as former tCane Reggie Wayne and Colts coach Tony Dungy. Senior Mollie Schmitt said, I was working for CBS'S Early Show the week before. I got to see the behind the scenes stuff all week and then over the weekend I got to be a guest.

This year, a record number of over 350 citizens were received with open arms, as if they were arriving for their first day of camp. Though the morning was cold, spirits were high for an action- packed, fun-filled day. Steven, a special citizen, looks forward to FunDay every year. i like the music, he said, after showing off his dance moves alongside Sebastian the Ibis. He was thankful for his buddy, sophomore Nicky Wyman, who helped him throughout the day. Nicky likes to dance with me, said Steven as his eyes beamed with joy. Shels my special friend. The special citizens enjoyed a day of singing, dancing, and mystery theatre, as well as arts and crafts, all to fit the theme of Camp FunDay. To top the day off, the FunDay staff set up a carnival, complete with bounce houses, face painting, and cotton candy. The special citizens also had a surprise in store by way of a magician. nMy favorite was the magician, said Brenda. I asked him how he did everything, but he said it was a secret. FunDay staff and volunteers helped make FunDay the success that it was The special citizens were enthralled by the showers of attention and care that they received. Many expressed that they had been counting down the days until FunDay, like little kids get excited for summer camp. At the end of the day, the special citizens left reluctantly and sadly after having spent an amazing day on campus. As their yellow school buses pulled away, the Cane buddies waved, anticipating their return next year. Their departure left the campus completely deserted, a drastic change from the scene only hours earlier. In a way, the emptiness brought mixed feelings of sadness and success.

Going along with the theme of the evening, the show began with the playing of Where in the World is Miss UM?, a sampling of the theme song from Carmen Sandiego. After a bit of a late departure, the scholarship pageant was in full flight. The 11 participating young women ranged in age from freshmen to graduate students. They took the stage both as newcomers to the pageant circuit and seasoned veterans. Diana Le, a junior, said, I heard about it my freshman year. It was always something I wanted to do. Though it was her first pageant, Le is accustomed to performing on a regular basis, as a student in the Frost School of Music. and family show partlopants. Le did, however, have to prepare. Her sisters of Sigma Alpha Iota were supportive and worked out with her in the gym to prepare. Friends also allowed her to borrow clothing. The one thing I splurged on was a bathing suit. Le said.

Perhaps the pinnacle of the evening for Blanche was a surprise visit from her parents to support her in her first stint in a pageant. Dana Burck, a junior, has participated in two previous pageants while she was in high school. However, her experience in Miss UM was unlike the others because the girls formed such a close bond with one another. The other pageants had about 50 contestants in them.

IS IT A GOOD OR BAD THING? Both, he said. The interdependent world has been good to you, he told the students, explaining that 35 years ago the crowd he would have looked out to would not have been so diverse. Contrastingly, Clinton said this interdependent world is unequal, unstable and unsustainable. The former president cited climate change and the depletion of critical resources, such as water, oil, natural gas and others. WHAT STEPS ARE NECESSARY TO DO THIS? Clinton said having a good security policy is needed, but also more. Security alone is never enough in an interdependent world, he said, adding that one can not jail, kill or occupy all of ones enemies. As is such, Clinton advised one must have more partners than enemies. HOW CAN WE COMBAT THE NEGATIVES? There must be a sense of shared responsibility, opportunity and belonging in the world to counter the negative aspects of interdependence, Clinton said. Regarding a sense of belonging, he mentioned the men who committed the London transit bombings in 2005, who were Enlish Citizens and not foreign terrorists. He also said that one does not have to give up one's heritage, religious views and other characteristics to belong. WHO IS SUPPOSED TO DO ALL THIS? HWe all have to do something, Clinton said, noting that government is important but private citizens can also wield a great deal of power. After leaving office, ill realized there were things I could do as a citizen that I couldnt do as president. For instance, there is much more targeted and specific work he can do, such as negotiating lower prices for drugs to be sold in the Bahamas, South Africa and India.

Some students were tucked away in their dorm rooms, getting ready to tackle their calculus problems, while others were grabbing a bite to eat with their friends. But for a few students, this was not just a regular school night. Instead, they were about to meet one of their favorite Broadway stars-Anthony Rapp. Most widely known for his role of Mark Cohen in the Tony Award- winning Broadway musical Rent, as well as reprising his role for the 2005 film version, Rapp made a special visit to the University of Miami on April 18th as a guest speaker for A Week for Life. The week-Iong event aims at educating students about HIWAIDS while encouraging them to make positive choices in their life. Currently the seventh longest running show on Broadway, Rent tackles the issue of HIVwAIDS, with several of its main characters suffering from the illness. Recently, Rapp wrote Without You, a memoir discussing his life and his experience with Rent. The first 50 people to attend the event were given a free copy of the book. I found out about it five minutes before and l sprinted over here, said freshman Jessie Larson, as she excitedly clutched her copy of the memoir. I think its amazing that they brought such an influential person for A Week for Life. Speaking to about 100 students at the Cosford Cinema, Rapp sat on a wooden stool onstage and spoke about his time in Rent and what the experience meant to him. At one point, he read an emotional and moving passage from his book. This show has the opportunity to marriage you and your character at heart, Rapp told the audience. It was like a love affair. I fell in love with the show. Rapp also discussed how Rent has affected the lives of others, especially in educating them about AIDS. til know that it has affected others in the sense that people have told me, he said. Rapp continued on to say that he has received letters from fans saying that they have begun to volunteer with hospices and AIDS patients after seeing the stage show or film. liltls much more powerful to see these people with HIV in this movie than to read about it in a textbook, Rapp said, quoting one of his fans. Afterwards, the audience was allowed to ask questions. Rapp also surprised fans by singing Seasons of Love, the popular song from Rent. He stayed after the event for a book signing, where many excited and enthusiastic fans were finally able to meet the Broadway star. ltAnthony is so inspirational, but at the same time hels very human and its easy to connect with him? said sophomore Ashley Garcia, as she eagerly waited in line to meet Rapp. The brilliance and power of his performance makes it that much more amazing. j$lifestyles iDIVERSITY COISO TURNS 40 AND CELEBRATES WITH PANGAEAiS FAMILY REUNION STORY BY DELIA AREVALONBIS STAFF COISO tCouncil of International Students and Organizationst is the umbrella organization for over 30 international student organizations, It represents the needs and interests of the international student body while also providing social events such as retreats, United Nations Day and International Week.

This includes about 30 such student groups, ranging from the African Students Union to the Asian American Students Association, to the Caribbean Students Association, just to name a few. These groups all do an amazing job every semester to bring to campus a glimpse into what it is like to be a distinct and proud cultural group within the American society and share with students at UM a part of the individual heritage that they are brilliantly able to both retain and educate others about in the process. Although it is clear that we stand for diversity and represent a wide range of interests and individual groups, why should the message of Unity being promoted by this event matter for a group like COISO? RACHEL LERNER The power for Unity lies in knowledge - knowledge of ourselves and our heritage and knowledge about each other. COISOls mission on campus is to represent international students and to provide numerous opportunities at the University of Miami for students to become i? L HENQQ engaged in something outside of themselves. We must first learn about ourselves, retain a strong sense of our roots and our heritage, and then share that knowledge with each other. How can we be unified if I donlt know where you are coming from, what is important to you, what challenges you face as a distinct part of this society, and what your vision is for the future? Don't be part of that apathetic stereotype that sometimes labels students - move yourself to be a part of this cause. Dont be satisfied to just sit silently next to the student in your bio class who is here from Japan. Ask them about where theylre coming from. Donlt be satisfied to just go to your groups meeting and your groups event and tell yourself that you are helping the cause of Unity by educating others about your culture - reach out to another group - attend their meeting, their lecture, their food sale, their fundraiser. We can all advance the cause of Unity by touching each others lives with the knowledge of our heritage that we bring to the table. COISO groups and events are a part of providing the means for that dialogue - please take advantage of the opportunities your fellow students are giving you. We are all important in this cause. H ONE ORGANIZE SSWOV Diaha Chung was the organizer of Family Day for lNWeek 2007. International Week, a week long festival of cultures and heritage, is an opportunity for the many student organizations of COISO to come together in an effort to offer students a chance to experience a world of different cultures. The week is filled with food, music and dancing as students celebrate the diversity that makes UM so unique. As COISO celebrated its 40th anniversary this year, l-Week creatively embodied the theme of cultural convergence through Pangaeals Family Reunion. Each student organization undertook the task of highlighting rituals and traditions that contribute to cultural heritage and to the preservation of identity as a whole. Through the smells of different food from Colombian patacones to the sounds of the calypso drums beating steadily, l-Week encourages students to be proud of their heritage because we are the vessels that will carry this to future generations. educate the spectators.

PHOTOS BY VERONICA SHARONHBI Z3 Q m Q Xo a a CULTURAL RITES I-WEEK EVENT RITES OF PASSAGE SHOWCASE TRADITIONS ACROSS CULTURES STORY BY DANIELLA SUAREZTIBIS STAFF The term urite of passage refers to any ritual marking a transition in the life of an individual from one state or status to another. All human beings experience a series of such transitions in the course of a lifetime. Rites of passage are found in every known human society, past and present, and they serve as a form of communication that goes beyond language barriers. The Rites of Passage showcased at International Week this year was meant to highlight the similarities in traditions across different cultures. Though each region has its own festivities and commemorations, they each celebrate life and family, representing the commonality shared cross-culturally. Booths displayed all sorts of rituals from the Sweet Sixteen in the United States, to its Latin American counterpart, the Quinceahera. While some rituals are very similar to our own in the United States, other cultures vary in how they demonstrate a coming of age. It was really cool to see how different milestones we celebrate here in the U.S. are celebrated elsewhere, said sophomore Emily McCollum. Vibrant costumes adorned the UC Patio while many different styles of music converged into a colorful murmur. The music, the talking, and the laughter created a single melody of enjoyment. Organizations displayed their traditions in a variety of ways. The Virgin Islands Students Association, for example, created a Iife-size story book on ply- board. Visitors could literally walk into a fairy tale book of an Epcotesque themed festival on campus. Creativity abounded as each organization attempted to draw connections to other cultures. Even Sebastian the Ibis made an appearance for a Hawaiian massage and represented our own university tradition. Freshman Joanna Suarez had never experienced anything like international Week. Itls encouraging to see people care so much about their culture and traditions, she said. We are all so different yet we all celebrate inherently the same thing. lSMAlL GUNN GATHERIN' ROUND THE MAYPOLE irWeek attendahts participate in the Maypoie tradition. dtgglifestyles Hvluqlit, m. i IsMMUNN TURKISH PRIDE Seniors Pihar Tulay arid ismaii Gun help With the table for Turkey 7W1 DIVERSITY tlei :pi iiQPSi la CO or val:hl we 3 BLACK AWARNESS MONTH CREATIVEWORD Ja- pm a Datihg lli 3 am e em or E- xi UBT HOSTS SPOKEN WORD WEDNESDAYS AT THE RATHSKELLAR TOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH A new creative art form called Spoken Word has swept the nation, and UM is right on board.

Over 200 people were served a full meal, including platanos maduros tfried plantainsx salad, mariquitas tplantain chipsy and Cuban bread. The food was delicious, said graduate student Diana Fernandez. The atmosphere was fun, lively, and portrayed the culture perfectly. The event was definitely a success. Traditional Cuban refreshments such as Materva, Jupiha, Coco Solo, and Quinabeer were provided, as well as fresh Cuban coffee brewed throughout the event by sophomore member Samantha Gonzalez. My mom taught me how to make Cuban coffee when I was ten years old, said Gonzalez. She said it was essential that every Cuban knew how to make it. A highlight of this event involved an activity called Picture Me in Cuba. A large backdrop, painted by FEC members, depicting a vintage Cuban nightclub was positioned at the bottom of the Rock. Costumes, including traditional Cuban dresses resembling the style of a Rhumba dancer, were provided for the women. Guayaberas and hats were available for the men to wear. Students were able to dress up and have their picture taken in front of the backdrop. The pictures were then e-mailed to those students who participated.

Spring Break offers a great opportunity to pack the car and hit the road, singing along to iPod playlists for hours on end. The countless highways of Florida direct students to an endless amount of possibilities of how to spend a week procrastinating on a term paper. A popular trend is to catch some Spring Training baseball games, giving students a flavorful treat of their favorite hometown team while away at school. itYou can get really close to the field and usually catch a ball at the spring training games! said senior Valarie Cribb.

However, some students choose a route that differs from the typical MTV spring break, a route that does not involve tanning or succumbing to laziness. Instead, these students choose to commit their time to Alternative Spring Break, a program that offers students the chance to volunteer in different parts of the country with issues ranging from homelessness to the environment. Not knowing where they would be sent off to, these students had to go through an application and interview process before they were considered for the program. Once accepted, they were placed in small groups of about ten, each dealing with a particular issue that they would work on in the city they were placed in. This year, UM students were sent to cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia. I signed up not really knowing what to expect. I heard it was a great opportunity and it definitely was,u said sophomore Brittany McFadden. I got to do two of my favorite things during my break, working with children and traveling. But A58 is more than just spending a week doing volunteer work. It requires students to take time off each week during the beginning of their spring semester to meet with their group members and plan the trip, while also working on a community service project that pertains to the issue they are working with. Most importantly, A58 is an emotional process that allows college students to see the world around them and witness firsthand the difficult issues that affect millions of people each and every day. This trip really opened my eyes and made me more conscious of issues affecting our youth, said sophomore Adriana Kiszynski, who worked with children in Los Angeles. Many of these children deal with issues of rape, gang violence, incarceration, loss, anger, poor seIf-esteem. My best memory was seeing the kids smile and get to be children for once instead of having to always deal with adult issues.

Some sipped on hot cups of coffee, rubbing their hands together to keep warm. The resourceful ones brought lawn chairs while others spread blankets on the grass. Couples huddled together under blankets: a perfect date night.

I think what makes me stand out is my dedication to everything that I do. Whether its my family, fraternity or place of work, people know they can count on me to get the job done well. IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR A WEEK, ALL EXPENSES PAID, WHERE WOULD YOU GO AND WHY? I would go to Antartica or the North Pole. Who wouldn't want to see Polar Bears and live in an . igloo for at least a week? IF YOU COULD BE ONE CELEBRITY, WHO WOULD YOU BE AND WHY? I would be Drew Rosenhaus. Being an agent for a professional sports athletes has always been a dream of mine, and being an alumnus from the U he has many clients that are from UM, including some of my favorite players. IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AT UM, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? If I had to change one thing about my experience at UM it would probably be taking advantage of the surrounding community more as a freshmanw ophomore. Going to school in Miami spoils s with plenty of things to do and four years l is It that much time to do them all. My advice everyone would be to take advantage of everything that Miami and UM have to offer. NAME YOUR FAVORITE CLASS AND ITS RESPECTIVE PROFESSOR. EXPLAIN YOUR CHOICES. Throughout my time at UM l have been blessed with some great classes and professors while also getting my fair share of classes Id rather forget. My favorite class would have to be Business and Security Valuation with Professor Heuson. Though the class was a lot of work and time consuming, I think that class could benefit me most in the workplace. In addition, Professor Heuson genuinely cares about her students performance not only inside the classroom but also outside of it. PEPSI OR COKE? VANILLA, CHOCOLATE OR STRAWBERRY? Pepsi is by far superior. Throw in a little cherry syrup and Im a happy camper. My roommate Jeff, has always been a Coke drinker so I'm forced to sacrifice every now and then, but its only Coke so who cares! I would have to go with Vanilla. Chocolate is too rich and Strawberry is too fruity. WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT? I stand out because of my sunny and X N adventurous dispostition. IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR A WEEK, ALL EXPENSES PAID, WHERE WOULD YOU GO AND WHY? If I could go anywhere in the world, I would go on a camping expedition in the Brazilian rainforest. It is one of the most beautiful and diverse environments in the world and it is quickly being exploited. I IF YOU COULD BE ONE CELEBRITY, WHO WOULD YOU BE AND WHY? . If I could be one ceIebrity I would be Julia Butterfly Hill, the activist that lived in a ' tree for two years and saved the California . Redwoods from Reforestation. IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND CHANGE O E T ING ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AT UM, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? If I could change one thing about my UM experi would have taken myself less seriousiy and appr ciated each precious moment. NAME YOUR FAVORITE CLASS AND ITS RESPECTIVE PROFESSOR. EXPLAIN YOUR CHOICES. My favorite class was US Healthcare Crisis with President ShaIaIa. To learn about such a relevant political topic from one of the leading experts in the field was amazing. Plus, sheis got great stories! PEPSI OR COKE? VANILLA, CHOCOLAT STRAWBERRY?

I am a dedicated, energetic, passionate person. I am committed to everything I do and love to lend a helping hand. My eccentric personality lightens up people that are around me. My perseverance has taught me the value of hard work. IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD FOR A WEEK, ALL EXPENSES PAID, WHERE WOULD YOU GO AND WHY? My heritage is in Haiti and the last time I went there was in 1990. Despite what is seen in the media, there are beautiful areas in Haiti, such as Jacmel. I would visit the historical monuments and my family members that still live there. 1 llCherZlL FRMCOM oil Brdldjj Major M WWW 313.3 91 Laid mouj, FL ,IF YOU COULD BE ONE CELEBRITY, ', WHO WOULD YOU BE AND WHY? ; ANDRE3000 My favorite music group is Outkast, so I would be Andre3000. He has a crazy style and personality that reflect my own. His music has been very inspirational to me. IF YOU COULD GO BACK AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AT UM, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY? Even though I have no regrets from my University of Miami experience, I would have gotten involved with some more organizations that interested me on campus. cl Chemdhj w:?dumhun NAME YOUR FAVORITE CLASS AND ITS RESPECTIVE PROFESSOR. EXPLAIN YOUR CHOICES. The fall semester of my senior year, ltook Religion 101. This course introduced me to the world around me on a greater level.

IUEI g r: bet V 3' STORY BY JEFFERY CONCERTOABIS STAFF PHOTOS BY KELLY ASHERNBIS STAFF The ancient Greeks had their Olympics, and the University of Miami has its Sportsfest. No other event on campus has the ability to fire up studentsi competitive spirits, which have Iain dormant since being picked last in third grade Phys. Ed. class. Whether it's the PT 8 inchesii or the Mahoney Mamacitasf each team represents the Character of the residential areas and their gladiator mentality. The student Ied-teams are thrown through a gauntlet of events challenging their fighting spirit. For three days, geeks are glorified for their mastery of Uiggiypuff in Super Smash Brothers and jocks are brought back to their James Van Der Beek quarterbacking skills they thought were left far behind in high school football. When the quarterback from team Eaton and Drinkinii was asked how Sportsfest makes him feel, he replied, Talk to my agent. Even though he had been intercepted on the preceding play, Sportsfest had his confidence soaring high. On the courts and fields of Sportsfgst, friends are made, friendships grow, and enemies increase; but at the end of the weekend, we know who still plays horseshoes and who has a Dance Dance Revolution mat in their room. The scores are marked down, tallied and one of the residential colleges is crowned champion for the year, but that doesnit matter; what matters is that for the first time since you beat little Sheila in dodgebali, you are an athlete and a scholar.

While three of the buildings were ready for occupancy by early September, some buildings were delayed even further. And then delayed again. And again... UM made efforts to provide shuttle services between the hotels and campus, as well as providing 20 dining dollars every day for each student. Many hotel amenities were free or offered at a discounted price and the Wyndham Grand Bay in the Grove turned its penthouse conference suite into a study lounge. Students had free laundry service and storage from CollegeBoxes as well. uIt was awesome living in the hotel, said Taylor Vick, a senior who lived in the Dadeland Marriot but now resides in building seven. The commute was awful, but the staff at the hotel was super cool. I wouldnt mind living there indefinitely! Nayda Verier-Taylor, a junior who now lives in building three, only stayed at the Grovels Doubletree for a few weeks, but had different feelings. PHOTO BY KATIE HENDRICKSONIIBIS STAFF We were sharing a room and the shuttles were a pain in the ass, she explained. But its much easier to find your way back to a hotel after a long night at Tavern than to find a ride back to campus. Even when students finally moved into the apartments, problems with the air conditioning, water heaters and dishwashers troubled them. All of the amenities promised have not been fulfilled, like adequate parking, on- site student business center, convenience store, and leasing officermail room IN the Village? Verier-Taylor said.

He said he tries to schedule meetings on days he has classes, making it possible to live off-campus and still be very involved. Whealy advises students to live on-campus for their first two years, tor three based on their personal level of responsibility? and then move off-campus. When considering where to move, he said cost, location and traffic patterns during rush hour were key, as well as the maturity level of roommates. It is honestly more convenient to live on E-campusJ, but not worth the extra 30 minutes of sleep in the morning, Whealy said. I also feel more at peace and connected to myself off-campus, sometimes therels a loneliness factor, but that drawback is trivial in comparison to certain aspects of dorm life.

Luce Professorship, meant to encourage academic experimentation and creativity. It was a joint effort between the School of Architecture and Family Studies in the Miller School of Medicinels Psychiatry Department to complete an application to the Luce Foundation for a Luce Professor in Community Studies. After receiving this Professorship, Samina Quraeshi joined the faculty for five years and worked in the West Village of Coconut Grove to develop a community action program. ttThose of us who worked on the proposal began a parallel effort to develop interdisciplinary research proposals to figure out whether the theories in community building being developed at the School of Architecture-ideas most notably evident in New Urbanism-and the theories of community psychology, that families are nested within a larger social structure of neighborhood and community, could be connected, Lombard said. ?LOCK H FACULTY CONDUCT RESEAR IN EAST LITTLE HAVANA; STORY BY ASHLEY DAVIDSONwlBlS STAFF PHOTOS COURTESY OF PROFESSOR LOMBARD She added that two other professors in the School of Architecture worked on the study, including Dr. Frank Martinez and Dean Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk. According to Lombard, certain types of neighborhoods can have a positive effect on its inhabitants. The group first looked at the effect on children, then elders. We worked in the area of East Little Havana because it has identifiable boundaries, distinctive neighborhoods with variety in the environment, and relatively similar socio-economic status, she said. We looked at the relationship between aspects of the built environment, such as mixed-use-most typically found in a corner store-and conduct grades. After relating the block use to conduct grades for nearly 3,000 public school children who lived on more than 400 contiguous blocks, Lombard said they found umixed-use blocks had higher conduct grades than children living on residential-only blocks. Lombard explained that children living on a residential- -only block had a 74 percent greater chance of being in the lowest ten percent of conduct grades, compared to a Child living on a mixed- use block. tilt the adverse impact of the residential- i only blocks could be mitigated, then conduct grades would improve by 38 s percent in the total population, she said. i The findings disagree with the thought that suburban models of residential-only blocks are ideal for Children. ttThese findings suggest that mixed- use blocks may offer distinct benefits for children living in poor, inner-ring neighborhoods, she said. Mixed-use neighborhoods not only induce adults to walk, and therefore benefit from the positive health effects of increased physical activity, but through increased supervision of the streets also offer children an environment conducive to positive adjustment in school.

The School of Architecture sponsors both fall and spring semester programs in Rome, Italy. The program was founded in 1991 and brings together a select group of fourth- and fifth-year students and faculty members for an intensive experience in design, theory, and the history of architecture. Each semester consists of one design studio and three seminar courses which total 15 credits. In addition to the coursework, there are field trips including visits to Tuscany, the Veneto, Urnbria, Lazio, and Sicily and a ten-day trip to other European countries such as Ex RN DES GN PRINCIPLES COULD APPLY STORY BY LAUREN MARSHALLUIBIS STAFF PHOTOS COURTESY OF PROFESSOR CARMEN GUERRERO Switzerland, Turkey, Spain, Greece, and France.

The course I teach is Italian Rationalism. This course focuses on the architecture produced between the two world wars in Italy, focusing on the Fascist period. YOU JUST FINISHED THE SPRING 2007 SEMESTER. HOW MANY STUDENTS WERE WITH YOU? I had 16 students with me in Rome this Spring 2007 semester.

One of the many lessons of Rome is that good design is not only about beautiful buildings and the artistic objects they contain, but also about thoughtful streets and public spaces. The students learn quickly the pleasure of walking through streets and public plazas lined with objects and buildings of historic significance.

The Arts and Sciences Religion Department screened this film, which is centered around the Holocaust to help raise awareness in the campus community of the horrors of the Holocaust and the difficult situations Jews were placed in by the Nazis. The title of the movie describes the morals of the members of the Sonderkommandos at Auschwitz, or the Jews who were treated better because they helped kill and cremate their brothers. The Sonderkommandos helped the Nazis, but only because they were told to. They tried to help thei fellow Jews, but in the end mmrynnp triad tn livn tn cm he next day. Nelson also gave some insight into attracting an audience. nYou mustn't repeat what others have said, said Nelson. For this reason, Nelson gave The Grey Zone a different look from Steven Spielbergls black and white Schindler's List by filming it in color, but giving most of the movie a covered-in-ash look . Had he filmed it in black and white, Nelson felt he would have pushed people into thinking The Grey Zone was just another black and white movie about the Holocaust. Of course, the lesson learned from his film is too great to be ignored: Pure innocence, if it even exists at all, is never allowed in this world? BlOLOGlST DR. KATHRYN TOSNEY PLANS TO REVOLUTlONlZE THE DEPARTMENT STORY BY TIERNEY MONTANEZXlBlS STAFF PHOTO BY VERONICA SHARONXlBlS STAFF The Biology departments Dr. Kathryn Tosney is undertaking a biology department makeover. Her goals include branching out to other disciplines in the university and instituting new teaching- learning tactics. Now is a time of change, a time of renovation, and a time of connectivity, she said. Currently, the biology departments programs are divided and Tosney seeks to change this structure, starting at its roots. Biologyls basic foundation at UM will be altered to the benefit of all three University of Miami campuses. One of the main goals of the biology department will be to seek not little islands of faculty, but archipelagos of interactive faculty. A white board centered on a wall of Tosneyls office displays a Venn diagram depicting links between biology and many other disciplines. Tosney and the entire biology department are making cooperative efforts to establish interconnectivity between the biology department with other groups such as neuroscience, physiology, marine biology and fisheries, to name a few. Partnerships formed will affect the biology department down to its general philosophy. Eventually the department will make llinquiry a main focus and the driving force behind an enhanced curriculum. The new focus will provide a structure and reasoning behind the courses students have to take instead of just fulfilling requirements. Tosney hopes students will learn something and learn how to use it. Real world questions will be addressed even at the undergraduate level. Tosney hopes that this method will slow the memorizing and regurgitation of information. Students will also support research and change how science is taught and introduced, thus learning and practicing biology in a new light. The planned changes for the biology department and university are rare in the professional world, according to Tosney, but especially at the university level, where so often many centers of higher education treasure their fixed tradition. With Dr. Tosney leading the charge, the biology department and the university are about to embark on a revolution in higher education. iCOLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES GBY THE NUMBERS Founded in 1926 4219 Undergraduate Students 592 Graduate Students 1919 Men 2902 Women 557:: White Non-Hispanic Students 2670 Hispanic Students 701: Black Non-Hispanic Students 112, AsianYPacific Island Students 403 Full time faculty 202 ResearcWAdministrativeY ProfessionaVStaff N S, K academics N coLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES STORY BY LAUREN MARSHALLNBIS STAFF PHOTO BY ANDREW SCHLOTTERLEINNBIS STAFF HOW DID YOUR INTEREST IN ART AND ART HISTORY DEVELOP?

I am currently finishing a book manuscript entitled Visions of Savage Paradise . This book will examine colonial life in Brazil through the artwork of Dutch artists. HOW DOES YOUR TEACHING STYLE CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS TO BECOME ENGAGED IN THE LEARNING OF ART HISTORY? I am not a formal lecturer. I use art to help students learn about the places that people live and have lived, and their cultures.

In reality, I was not suited for anything else, Dr. Carver said. I was always interested in psychology and about halfway through graduate school I realized I had made the right decision. WHAT COURSES DO YOU TEACH AT UM AND WHAT SORT OF TEACHING STYLE DO YOU USE? Dr. Carver teaches Introduction to Philosphy and stresses the use of visual aids because of their proven effectiveness in the classroom. WHAT TYPE OF RESEARCH ARE YOU CURRENTLY CONDUCTING? I have been collaborating with Dr. Antoni and others in looking at stress management in women recently diagnosed with cancer, Dr. Carver stated. Dr. Michael Antoni is one of Dr. Carveris colleagues in the Department of Psychology. Together, they are conducting research studies with breast cancer patients in a project funded by the National Cancer Institute. WHAT IS THE BEST PART OF BEING A PROFESSOR AT UM? The best thing about being a professor is that you are not only permitted, but encouraged to think about what you are interested in, Dr. Carver said. Its astonishing to be paid a salary for thinking about things you like to think about. IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF THAT MOST STUDENTS WOULD NOT KNOW?

Invaluable work has been done by professors involved in WomenIs Studies putting women back in the picture. But of course men are also gendered. Until recently, most historical study was about men, but those men were not examined in terms of their gendered or sexual identities. Now, historians are thinking about changing conceptions of masculinity so that we can have a more complete notion of how men and women engage with each other as gendered and sexual beings. WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT TEACHING IN THIS PROGRAM AT UM? The program in WomenIs and Gender Studies is very much a microcosm of UM: itis developing and exploring new possibiIities and I am very excited to be a part of that. Its been inspiring over the last year or so to see how enthusiastic students are about an expanded curriculum in womenIs and gender studies. I love teaching here. The students are incredibly smart, very engaged, and I think that thereIs a real constituency within the student population for courses of this sort. ianI mm 'i iiN MEMORlAlIl w A TRUE STORY BY LAUREN MARSHALLwlBlS STAFF PHOTO COURTESY OF TODD ELLENBERG Dr. Christine Federighi, Cooper Fellow and Professor Art in the College of Arts and Sciences, passed away on November 18, 2006. She fought a valiant battle against breast cancer for 12 years, never letting it deter from her love of her ceramic sculpture and teaching. Dr. Federighi was a professor of ceramics at UM for 32 years. Dr. Federighils artistic gift was for transforming clay into ceramic sculpture. She sculpted whimsical folk animals, life-size human figures, and environmental installations. Many of the pieces in her art collection reflected her travels to the Southwest and were inspired by American Indian and tribal art. Dr. Federighils ceramic work has been widely exhibited in South Florida and throughout the nation. Art historian Helen Kohen said that Dr. Federighi did a lot for Miami and her students and for clay as an art medium. She was a five- time recipient of the Florida Individual Artists Grant. She also won a 1988-1989 artist grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. At the memorial service that was held in her honor at the Lowe Art Museum on November 24, 2006, it was easy to see the impact that Dr. Federighi had on her colleagues from the university community, on her students, and on the artistic community. There was not an empty seat for the service. In her memory, her works will be exhibited at the Lowe in April, 2007. Dr. Federighi had an artistic vision that will be missed. She was a mentor to artists and students of art. Her legacy will live on in her work and in the works of those that she taught. In many ways, sculpture is a journey, Dr. Federighi once said. While her personal journey has ended, her works will be a constant reminder to those who view them that her journey was one well spent and truly a gift to those who admired her and learned from her.

PLANS FOR SUCCESS THE 5TH ANNUAL ROTHSCHILD ENTREPRENEURSHIP COMPETITION CHALLENGES BUSINESS STUDENTS TO COME UP WITH THE PERFECT PLAN This year, the UM School of Business Administration held their 5th annual Rothschild Entrepreneurship Competition. The competition is a university-wide business plan competition and is open to all UM students, both undergraduate and graduate, in all schools and programs. Each year, students are invited to submit creative business plans for entrepreneurial ventures of their own design. Once the plans are submitted, concept synopses are reviewed by a panel of judges comprised of successful alumni, entrepreneurs and business people from the community. Once the judges review the initial concepts, they select a group of semi- finalists that are invited to write full business plans. From these entries, finalists are selected to present to the judging panel and winners are chosen. The competition is split into two categories, one for small businesses and the other for high-potential ventures. The winner of this year's small business section was Amir Khorsand, a law student who created a company called WireBase Solutions, a small start-up company dedicated to producing and delivering a new patent-pending product- a box-Iike enclosure which fits over surge-protectors and power strips to safely conceal the mess of wires and adapters within an aesthetically pleasing form.

This November, Amnesty International hosted an event that stressed the importance of free speech by showing the dangers of living in a society without those rights. Ngawang Choephel, who was sentenced to 18 years in a Tibetan prison on false charges of espionage, spent two hours sharing his story in a nighttime event attended by several students and faculty. Choephel was visiting Tibet in 1995 in order to film a documentary, IITibet in Song? His documentary was an attempt to capture the beauty and uniqueness of traditional Tibetan music that is being lost due to the infringement of Chinese culture since the time of the Chinese takeover of Tibet. The documentary was misunderstood by the ruling government, who sentenced Choephel to 18 years in a Tibetan prison. After a long fight and many attempted appeals, Choephel was eventually released on parole in January 2002. There is no freedom of speech in Tibet, and no freedom of religion, Choephel said. They are in a worse situation there than ever before. Choephel is now continuing work on his unfinished documentary, and even shared the work-in-progress with the audience that night. There are several reasons why I havent shared my story until recently, Choephel said. Its not because I support China or what they are doing, but because I was discouraged. The issue in Tibet is not perceived as a valid struggle in this world. Its been over five decades and we havent seen any change. Despite this struggie, ChoephelIs goal to share the Tibetan culture remains. The music in Tibet is a big part of the culture, he said. IIHearing their music has subconsciously and consciously affected me deeply, and I think it is important to share this. m 19 E CD U Q 217 'Ns TEAMS UP N HOMESTEAD THE FINAL ' , KCTUC'W; PHOTO BY KATHRYN BAINNBIS STAFF FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE1 M aw 1 R ' Mm :eu ore 7h: , ,. w : DOWT FORGET THE CAPTIONS H r r r , .' 15,1 PHOTO BY VERONICA SHARONNBXS STXEF OUT IN THE COMMUNITY : ' ' $7.1 iEWWm :HH w .

STORY BY DELIA AREVALONBIS STAFF PHOTO BY WILL WOOTENHBIS STAFF WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO COME AND TEACH AT UM? I decided I was going to move to Miami and pursue teaching and filmmaking opportunities because it was a bigger metropolis than Ithaca. I love this program a lot. The program was very nurturing to me as a young female filmmaker. They actually assisted me with all of my projects so every filmmaking project live done We gotten support from the school. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT THE FELMAKING PROCESS? Collaboration. Itls partially why I went into filmmaking. You draw upon others; creativity. The best directors are receptive to othersl ideas. Its a very delicate thing. You have to let the subject feel confident so that they give the best of themselves and you can learn from them also. Itls brilliant, like creating a family, and at the end you always hope you get to work with them again someday. CAN YOU TELL ME BOUT YOUR AWARD-VJINNING DOCUMENTARY, 'ICARMEN HERRERA: 5 DEGREES OF FREEDOMII? It has gone to several festivals, which Is already recognition of the work. I did receive an honor from UFVA, the University Film and Video Association, and I presented the film in competition and received a finalist award. The film was also made the l'OfficiaI Selection at the 2006 Festival di Palazzo Venezia in Rome. WHAT MADE YOLI DECIDE TO TEACH AND MAKE MOVIES RATHER THAN ONE OR THE OTHER? It just happened. Its a wonderful combination. The kinds of films I do wouldlve been harder to do alone. But I get support from the school. The types of films I make I can do in short bursts. It's a nice coexistence and llm more fulfilled if I can share what I do with my students. Its great when you see them discover something on their own and you helped them work and its really nice. Its nice making a positive impact on somebodyls life. Kacademics 219 CAPTURING MEMOR qr w mr DR. LEBLANC BELIEVES THAT STUDYING ABROAD IS ONE OF THE GREAT HOPES FOR THE FUTURE. IN HIS ROLE AS PROVOST, HE WANTS TO MAKE STUDY ABROAD AVAILABLE FOR EVERY STUDENT WHO WANTS THE EXPERIENCE DR. THOMAS LEBLANC EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT AND PROVOST STORY BY LAUREN MARSHALLWIBIS STAFF PHOTOS COURTESY OF DR. LEBLANC AND MORGAN CANTRELL WHEN DID YOU STUDY ABROAD AND WHERE DID YOU GO? I studied abroad while I was in high school, from January, 1972 to January, 1973, in Brazil. I was one of 29 students who studied for that year as part of the American Field Service tAFSt program. WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO STUDY ABROAD WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL? I really wanted to see the world. The AFS sends students to countries where they have matched the student applicant with a family applicant. Students do not choose where they would like to travel and study. In fact, I found out two weeks before leaving that I was going to Brazil and I didnt know how to speak a word of Portuguese. WHAT DID YOU LEARN STUDYING ABROAD? HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO APPLY WHAT YOU LEARNED TO THE REST OF YOUR EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCESTPROFESSIONAL CAREER? Living in Brazil for a year was a great cultural experience. I traveled extensively throughout Brazil, met interesting people, and became immersed in both the language and culture. The first six months I spent a lot of time learning the language enabling me to communicate more easily. I spent the majority of my time in Belo Horizonte, but traveled to other large cities, like Rio and San Paulo, as well as many small towns throughout the region. The experience taught me many important lessons, but one of the most important things I learned that can be applied here in Miami is that native speakers must be tolerant and sympathetic towards others who don't speak the language. It is very difficult, as I learned first-hand, to communicate when you cant speak the language and learning it is not an easy thing to do. In addition, I learned a lot about Brazilian music, food, culture and society that I never would have learned without experiencing it in the country. The idea of experiencing life in a completely different county is mind- expanding. I knew that I had become immersed in Brazilian culture when I woke up one morning and realized I had dreamed in Portuguese. DO YOU FORSEE ANY CHANGES WITH UMIS STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM IN THE FUTURE? We need to make it easier for students to study abroad. We need to remove any barriers to students taking this educational opportunity, including availability of programs, cost, and credit issues. Students at UM don't study abroad at the same rate as students from other universities. We need to be sure that we encourage and support students who want to go abroad for a summer or a full semester. The experiences will be priceless and students will carry what they have learned with them for the rest of their lives. tBYi HE NUMBERS 7 ,L I L , 187 Undergraduate Students 19 Graduate Students 295 NoneDegree Seeking Students 175 Men 326 Women 4096 White Non-Hispanic Students 4701: Hispanic Students PA Black Nonal-Iispanic Students 704 AsiantPacifiC Island Students 11 Full time faculty academics 1i N N .-I N SCHOOL OF EDUCATION MORE ABOUT THE OX WRITTEN BY LAUREN MARSHALLHBIS STAFF -CREATED BY BLAKE ROSS AND DAVE HYATT 'GREW OUT OF THE MOZiLLA WEB BROWSER 'RELEASED iN NOVEMBER 2004 '100 MILLION DOWNLOADS iN LESS T AN THE FIRST YEAR 'OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE FOR DES TOP -FREE TO DOWNLOAD -GRASSROOTS EFFORT HAS LED TO F ST GROWTH IN BROWSER MARKET 'TO DATE,175 EXTENSIONS WRITTEN :Y CODE RS -ITUNES CONTROLLER ON BORDE .3-DAY WEATHER FORECAST ON STAT?

Stoutenberg, who has completed nine marathons and helps train approximately 500 marathon runners every year, has turned his passion into a dissertation. Stoutenberg led a study to measure the presence of a substance in subjects. blood called C-reactive protein, or CRP, of which elevated levels are thought to be linked to cardiovascular disease. The study involved 50 men, 25 who ran compared with the control group of 25 men who did not. Stoutenberg said none of the subjects had ever run much. We looked at the before and after levels of CRP in their blood, he explained. With exercise, Stoutenberg believes the levels will decrease, therefore lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. The study began in the fall of 2005 when Stoutenberg began applying for grants, but recruitment and testing did not begin until nearly a year later. Through the study, Stoutenberg hopes to prove why people need to be active and healthy, he said. Even the lowest guy Howest resultsJ improved 15 percent, he said.

Coincidence. While I was at Georgia Tech, I was originally studying aerospace engineering. I stumbled upon a lab that was doing biomedical research and found it interesting and began to study there. I am originally from Israel, and I earned my bachelors degree at Tel- Aviv University and then attended Georgia Institute of Technology for my Masters and PhD degrees. WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT RESEARCH FOCUS? Developing methods for stroke prevention. For the past 15 years, I have been studying methods for less invasive stroke prevention and treatment, which was part of what led me to being named a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2005. ASIDE FROM YOUR RESEARCH, WHAT ELSE CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR RECEIVING THE HONOR OF AN A.S.M.E. FELLOW? My participation and dedication in the society was part of the equation that led to this honor. I have served on committees of the organization and I also serve as an Associate Editor of their scientific journal. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE MOMENT OR MEMORY SINCE STARTING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI? Receiving my R01. An R01 is a research grant given by the National lnsititute of Health.

WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITY e GSTRUCTING SAFE COOPERATIVE RESEARCH CENTER FOR THE REPAIR OF BUILDINGS i AND BRIDGES WITH COMPOSITES tRBZQ? RBZC is a program funded by the National Science Foundation that provides a link between research universities. Its purpose is to make sure that research done at the universities is applied in industrial applications. The research done at UM focuses on buildings and bridges constructed with composite materials such as concrete. WHAT OTHER SCHOOLS ARE INVOLVED IN THE RBZC AND HOW DID THE UNIVERSITY GET AWARDED THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANT THAT SUBSIDIZES THE PROGRAM? The University of Miami is the prime university for this project. North Carolina State is involved with RB2C as well. North Carolina State is a secondary university. The previous primary site was at the University of Missouri- Rolia, where I started it. The program moved with me when I came to UM. a 't ,5 a A . i WHAT IS THE FOCUS OF RBZC AND WHAT EXACTLY DOES IT ENTAIL? The programs focus is on research problems with buildings and bridges. The main focus of the research is to test current samples of material, such as reinforced concrete in these existing structures, to find their strength. These results are then compared to data collected from samples that we make that use non- corrosive and therefore longer lasting material. The idea is that students get a great hands-on experience studying real world problems. WHAT CURRENT PROJECTS IS RBZC WORKING ON? Right now RBZC is doing tests on the concrete slab at the old nursing school to test for strength in the buildings foundation. Past projects can be found on the RBZC website at www.rb2c.miami.edu. Details including pictures and video can be found about the projects both here at Miami and previous projects at the University of Missouri-Roila. m .9 E CD U Q 0 F6 227 N COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING STORY BY ASHLEY DAVIDSONNBlS STAFF PHOTO BY VERONICA SHARONNBIS STAFF WHAT IS THE DORGAN SOLAR LAB IN THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND WHAT WORK IS DONE THERE? The Dorgan Solar and Fuel Cell Laboratory is used for both research and education in the areas of fuel cells and solar energy. The Lab is named for benefactor Mr. Albert Dorgan, who was a strong proponent of renewable energy. especially solar energy and hydropower. The endowment from his bequest was designated for research and education in solar and other renewable energy technologies. Various solar energy projects have been conducted in the Lab, including photovoltaic powered air-conditioning systems and hybrid double-pass collectors. We have developed various fuel cell models, including multi- dimensional, multi-phase flow fuel cell models and conducted various fundamentals as well as applied researches in the areas of proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells. These projects have been funded by the US Department of Energy and industry companies, such as 3M Company. HOW ARE STUDENTS INVOLVED IN THE LAB AND THE WORK BEING DONE THERE? Both undergraduate and graduate students conduct STUDENT ASSISTANCE Students Lin Wang Salt Alrnehairli and Andrew their research and development in the Lab. Currently, there are two PhD students and one MS student working on their research projects in the Lab. We obtained a donation from Teledyne Energy Systems, the Green Car, one of the first fuel cell powered cars. The car is not in operational condition and needs fuel cell stacks and a lot of additional work. Several groups of undergraduate students have done different projects on the car. More work will be done by students and faculty to get the car to be in a drivable condition. HOW IS THE WORK IN THE LAB DIRECTLY LINKED TO MAKING A GREENER ENVIRONMENT? The objective of all of the work in the Lab is to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and replace them with clean and renewable energy sources. We are currently working on a project to put solar lights on the UM campus, which was made possible by a very generous donation. We are working with individuals from the Facilities department at UM to put the solar lights on a few of the bus shelters and some around the lake and on some buildings. Eventually, some students will be involved in collecting and analyzing data and other related activities.

Dr. Petersonts research largely focuses on how the tropics q respond to climate change ' on a variety of timescales. Since the mid-1990's, he has led a group of investigators studying sediments from a small, deep basin in the southern Caribbean known as Cariaco Basin. This basin is highly unusual in that the waters below a few hundred meters depth are totally depleted of oxygen, a condition that prevents organisms from living on the sea floor and stirring the sediment in their search for food. The result is a perfectly preserved, finely layered sequence where the layers are annual and can be used like tree rings to tell time. Among the many discoveries that have come out of work on Cariaco Basin sediments is evidence that a severe series of regional droughts between 800 and 900 AD coincided in time with the collapse of the great Maya civilization in Mesoamerica.

Thaut has 120 publications and has written three books on the subject, including Rhythm, Music, and the Brain. According to Thaut's research findings, regular physical therapy for people with a damaged brain does nothing to physically change the brain. Neurological music therapy actually increases the plasticity of the brain, allowing it to be molded. This type of therapy enhances the repair process of the brain when compared with regular physical therapy methods. Thaut screened video evidence of people with damaged brains in regular physical therapy without a rhythm, and then after a beat was played for the patients. The difference was drastic. People who could barely move began walking at a constant and average pace when a rhythm was provided. In Thautls words, rhythm creates anticipatory time constraints. Basically, there are three variables that dictate a steady pace: time, distance, and force. Without a rhythm, a person can easily walk at an irregular pace since there are no time, distance, or force constraints. However, when a beat is heard, the person wants to obey the timing of the beat. This pushes the person to move his leg along the correct path and with the correct amount of force so his foot hits the ground on the beat. Some video evidence even displayed a brain-damaged patient being pushed to a jogging pace due to a faster beat played on the speakers. Another way music can be an effective therapy is when the speech part of the brain is damaged. The speech section of the brain is on the opposite hemisphere of the singing section. This means that if a patient can no longer talk due to brain damage, a song can be played for the patient to sing. Then, with the increased plasticity of his brain, the words the patient sings will teach him to speak normally again. Thaut went on to say that the brain is an orchestra. When a task is learned, it is due to a synchronization of ensembles of neurons. The orchestra must practice. as is true of a damaged brain. It can learn how to function, but if these functions are not continually practiced, the brain will forget how to complete the tasks it learns. A common misnomer some people have about learning through music is the belief that certain music is better for building and rebuilding the brain. The truth is that music therapy has nothing to do with style or rhythm. The only stipulation is that the structure must match the movement desired. As Thaut explains, Music is therapeutic as long as it is translated functionally to what the student needs to work on.

During the evening, which was a part of Festival Miami, Hornsby treated concert-goers to a night of music, improvisation, and laughter. During his Master Class, Hornsby played two songs, stomping his feet to the beat of the music, as well as bantering back and forth with members of the audience as he entertained questions.

The Health Resources and Services Administration tHRSAi predicts that by the year 2020, there will be more than one million new Registered Nurses needed in the United States healthcare system to meet the demand for nursing care. To address the nationwide nursing shortage, schools like UM have established curricula beyond the traditional baccalaureate tBSNi option to allow nontraditional students to enter the nursing profession. The traditional entry- Ievel four-year baccalaureate program is geared to those individuals without a baccalaureate degree. In addition to this program option, UM has continued to M11 p 7, ye sent 5 Dr Gai Mgaain OR TUDENTS expand its accelerated option program option and its graduate entry program option for nontraditional students. Both of these program options lead to a baccalaureate degree in nursing, but are geared for individuals who already have baccalaureate degree and are seeking nursing as a new professional career choice. The accelerated option program is a one year program and runs one calendar year. Students graduate with a BSN degree as the four-year traditional BSN student does. The graduate entry program option is a three year program where the student completes the BSN degree in one year and moves into the masters program for the additional two years. Students who graduate from this program are prepared for advanced practice roles. m ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, SCHOOL OF NURSING AND HEALTH STUDIES DR. CHNRISTIE WILLIAMS x t , S . ' A CAREER? WHY DO YOU THINK FNK offers so many oiopportunities and ca , r paths. You can become specialized by age group or by setting. You can focus on teaching, conducting research. or administration. You can become a legal consultant or an entrepreneur. Nurses fill many leadership roles in business and politics. You can change your career focus within nursing and your skills will always be in demand. WHERE DO YOU SEE PROFESSIONAL NURSING IN THE NEXT DECADE? Nurses will be instrumental in teaching people to maintain their health. In the future, more nurses will practice in the community. Hospitals will continue to be important for the sickest patients, but better preventative care will keep people healthier. YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK, THERAPEUTIC INTERACTION IN NURSING. WHY IS COMMUNICATION SO IMPORTANT FOR NURSES TO LEARN ABOUT AND PRACTICE? Effective communication is critical to excellent nursing care. When patients remember their nurse, it is THE COMMUNICATIVE NURSE often because heYshe was a great communicator. My book is important because it offers nurses and nursing students the guidance they need to improve their communication with patients of all ages and in a variety of situations. YOUR RESEARCH AREA IS ALZHEIMERtS DISEASE AND THE CORRESPONDING NURSING CARE. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR RESEARCH WORK AND WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND? I have studied the effects of exercise on mood in nursing home residents with Alzheimerts disease. The results of that study showed that 16 weeks of comprehensive exercise was more effective in alleviating depression than either walking alone or conversation. Because people with Alzheimerls disease have difficulty communicating with words, I have examined the effects of 12 weeks of nurse- patient interaction on their conversation skills. I found that those participants who practice conversation improved in number of words and relevance of conversation when compared to those with an exercise intervention. Currently, I am studying the effects of a ten-week communication program I developed for caregivers and spouses with dementia. DR.

NURSING LEADER IN EDUCATION RESEARCH AND PRACTlCE STORY BY LAUREN MARSHELLNBIS STAFF PHOTO BY KELLY ASHERHBlS STAFF WHY DO YOU THINK STUDENTS SHOULD CHOOSE PROFESSIONAL NURSING AS A CAREER? Professional nursing offers individuals the opportunity to be involved in compelling work, worthwhile effort, and professional as well as personal growth. The opportunities within professional nursing practice are vast, from inpatient intensive care nursing to community based nursing centers. Nurses care for individuals of all ages, families, and communities in the treatment and prevention of illness and the promotion of health. Nurses are also involved in government legislative processes, as well as direct involvement with health care policy determination. HOW WILL THE NEW M. CHRISTINE SCHWARTZ BUILDING IMPACT THE EDUCATION OF NURSING STUDENTS AT UM? This state-of-the-art center highlights the drama and impact of nursing in todays healthcare settings. We are fully equipped to carry out high-tech nursing procedures in our simulation labs and teach in Smart classrooms equipped with the latest in electronic media. We also have a supportive setting to carry out nursing research. This grand setting allows for maximizing the teacher-student relationship and enhances student learning. The perception of nursing education at the University of Miami has sky- rocketed with the opening of our new nursing center. YOU WERE A FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR IN 2003. WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE LIKE? I traveled to the divided island nation of Cyprus where I taught for six months in two schools of nursing, one on the Greek side of the island and the other on the Turkish side. Teaching there taught me to appreciate the impact Culture plays in all areas of life, including teaching nursing and the delivery of health care. Through this experience I was able to transmit to nurses in Cyprus the perspective of American nursing and learn from them the perspective of MiddIe-East and European nursing. The largest lesson I learned is that nursing and nurses can make a powerful impact on the health of persons independent of resources and dependent on the will to make a difference. WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF RESEARCH EXPERTISE? My program of research clarifies the concept of postpartum depression. I have gained many insights, such as: at there are cross cultural differences in postpartum practices and support; Cbt family members often do not recognize postpartum depression; t0 breastfeeding mothers do not want to stop breastfeeding in order to take anti-depressant medication; th mothers find it difficult to attend group therapy; CeT assistance of family members and proper rest are critical to preventing postpartum depression; and CD women are reluctant to admit they have postpartum depression.

Christine Schwartz Center for Nursing and Health Studies finally opened on February 15, 2007. Present at the ceremony were all of the major donors who made significant contributions to support the new building, including the key donors Ted and M. Christine Schwartz. After an opening speech by the current Dean of the School of Nursing, Nilda Peragallo, and brief remarks from President Donna Shalala, Mrs. Schwartz gave a speech detailing her longtime passion for healthcare and nursing. APP Following the opening remarks, a slew of donors, President Shalala, and Dean Peragallo finally out the ribbon to welcome hundreds of guests to the Coral Gables campusl newest structural addition. Everyone in attendance waited anxiously to tour the spectacular facility. The 53,000 square-foot facility has a lobby with a 28-foot, two story atrium, a glass-encased steel staircase that winds up four floors, and an open-air courtyard. There are three ltsmart classrooms, featuring computer-based communications, wireless connections, and Web-based resources. Faculty have their own offices and for the first time in the schools almost 60 year history, all faculty are located in one building on the Coral Gables campus. The schools 5,500 square-foot International Academy for Clinical Simulation and Research is an exciting component of the new building. With one operating theater, beds for critical care, simulation laboratories for adult and pediatric clients, and a 24-station micro-simulation computer laboratory, students at all levels will be able to learn and practice in real-life situations before going into the clinical areas. Simulation Nurse Specialist Susana Barroso described the students ability to transfer knowledge from classroom to hospital. She said, When students take care of their patients in the clinical setting, they've already had experience dealing with the situation by practicing in the lab. This means more confident nurses, and more able nurses? Faculty, students, and alumni have waited a long time to see the nursing program get the recognition and status that goes along with a state- of-the-art facility. The M. Christine Schwartz center will be a place of excellent educational experiences for nurses and health care professionals that will be carried into communities locally, nationally, and internationally. academics Vt N CONTINUING STUDIES AMANDA RLICH SENIOR, ENGLISH M lART HISTORY MINOR, COLLEGE oF H Sana viSit the C lliseum in Rome STORY BY LAUREN MARSHALLwlBIS STAFF PHOTO BY VERONICA SHARONwlBlS STAFF WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO STUDY ABROAD?

Studying abroad has helped me realize that my perspective is not the only one. While I thought I was cognizant of this fact before, this experience has really brought that home to me. I am hoping that this experience will allow me to see the world from other people's perspectives both in the academic world and in my personal life. It has also given me a set of contacts for where I begin my academic career. I met many people who were working on many fascinating projects, which has helped me in thinking about where I might want to go with my own career. WHY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND STUDY ABROAD AS A COMPONENT OF A STUDENTtS ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE? I think that everyone should take some time out to travel the world. It gives you a perspective of how we are all part of one world and what else is waiting out there for all of us. It allows students to experience new cultures, meet new people and taste new things. lthink that a studentts education is not really complete without a bit of global education.

GREEN NEW DEAN W A NEWLY CREATED POSITION PLANS IN THREE MAIN AREAS STORY BY LAUREN MARSHALUIBIS STAFF PHOTO BY KARINA DEARWOODABIS STAFF A scholar and teacher, Dr. William Scott Green, has begun his newly created position as Senior Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education. Dr. Green arrived at the University of Miami believing that, no American university will have UMls opportunities and potential for growth and change over the next decade. In his new role, Dr. Green will lead the faculty and students of undergraduate programs to reach this potential. Dr. Green arrived at UM in July, 2006, after being at the University of Rochester for 32 years. He is a nationally known leader in religious studies and undergraduate education. Dr. Green holds an AB from Dartmouth College and a PhD in Religion from Brown University. UM is at an important transition point in its history, Dr. Green explains. Students here have a distinctive array of options because of the proximity of most of the universityis schools to one another, and many take advantage of our special environment. As the university moves forward, Green states, I hope our educational resources will become sharper and richer and that we will make all of them available to as many of our students as possible? Dr. Greents overall responsibility will be to enhance the quality of the undergraduate experience through its curriculum, programs, and opportunities that coincide with both. He is interested in expanding interdisciplinary offerings and encouraging collaboration of faculty and students within and between colleges and schools. nl will be working this year primarily in three areas: D a faculty committee on education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, the STEM subjects; 2i conducting a systematic review of the experience of first year students, collaboratively with Dr. Pat Whitely; and 3t expanding study abroad opportunities for students. In addition to overseeing the growth and expansion of UMIs undergraduate programs, Dr. Green will teach in the department of Religious Studies and will actively participate in the development of Judaic Studies as a Senior Fellow of the Miller Center. Students will also see Dr. Green in a more relaxed environment as he and his wife, Dr. Rebecca Fox, Assistant to the President, are currently Resident Masters in Pearson Residential College. The residential colleges offer a context and a setting for intellectual and artistic activity, the life of the mind and imagination, to flourish outside of the classroom, Dr. Green explains. The more students learning is comprehensive, the more it is part of their total experience and the stronger it will be. Residential colleges can make a real contribution in this regard. I came to the University of Miami at this time in my career because the environment presented interesting opportunities and challenges, Dr. Green stated. With Dr. Greenls innovative vision and his expertise in the creation and delivery of undergraduate education, the University of Miami will meet those challenges and more. t and Beam 0; lslreidemr Donna E.

Heriopened his remarks by welcoming those in attendance, making special note of trustee Dany Garcia Johnson, who introduced him, and her husband, Dwayne liThe Rock Johnson. After an initial joke about using The Rock's name to get applause, he mentioned it repeatedly in on-running gag. Touching on a variety of graduation- and University of Miami-related subjects, Barryls characteristic humor was omnipresent, not only while addressing the students, but in his remarks to their parents as well. Many of you parents are from out of town, he said, and ltm sure that when your children first looked at the University of Miami, some of you were nervous about sending to your children to school in South Florida as opposed to somewhere in the United States.

My emotions are all over the place right now. I am saddened at the prospect of not seeing my classmates again, eager to pursue the career of my dreams, nervous about the state board examination, and proud that I have made it to the end. I cant wait to finally be a registered nurse! I am excited about what the future holds for me. HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING DIFFERENV SPECIAL IN THIS PAST SEMESTER, GETTING READY FOR MW GRADUATION AND PREPARING FOR YOUR FUTURE? I have reviewed three different NCLEX-RN I examination review books in order to prepare for the state board examination. I have listened to hours upon hours of additional review sessions. I am all 7i about the NCLEX this semester. WHAT ARE YOUR IMMEDIATE PLANS ONCE YOU GRADUATE? I plan to spend a great deal of time with my three year old son. I want to sit on a park bench and watch him play, with no time restrictions. I want to take him to the zoo and the beach and focus all of my attention on him. It will be nice to take a moment to enjoy life, not WISE WORDS FROM GRA worrying about exams and papers that are due. I am going to travel quite a bit this summer, and begin the graduate program at the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies in the fall. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE TO GIVE TO JUNIORS AS THEY ENTER THEIR SENIOR YEAR RELATED TO GRADUATION PREPARATION? GET ORGANIZED! Be sure to get an academic planner at the beginning of the semester, and map out your time. Include all test days, project deadlines and reading for each week. Read for a couple of hours at a time, not more than three...it is impossible to stay focused for longer than that, and retention is minimal when you try to cram in too much information. Most importantly, make a commitment to review 20 NCLEX-RN examination questions a day, EVERY day, until graduation. DO YOU FEEL READY TO GRADUATE FROM AN ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVE AS WELL AS A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE? I do. My academic goals for my BSN degree have been met, and I am ready for whatever may be in store for me, both personally and professionally.

HAVE YOU DO PREPARING FOR YOUR FUTURE? ldidntt plan on doing anything different, had all my ducks in line... then checked my ACE to find out one of my classes didntt count towards graduating - always a fun discovery after the last day to add has passed. I scrambled for about a week or two between every office in the business school and talked with countless professors before getting approval for directed , independent study. I worked with Dr. Landsea of the finance department for what probably ended , up being 80 hours worth , of research and actually enjoyed it. It helped me stay focused during my last days and because I was striving to help him with the project I felt like I was working for a greater cause than my three credit hours. DO YOU FEEL READY TO GRADUATE FROM AN ACADEMIC PERSPECTIVE AS WELL AS A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE? Illl answer in reverse- personally I think Itm ready to graduate. I'll do more growing once I'm on the outside; UM did shape a portion of who I am, but classrooms can only teach a small fraction of what you learn in life. Academically I'll never be ready, I love to learn new things and really like to challenge myself. The closer I got to the end, the more I felt as if there were so many classes I never had the chance to take. ltm debating between law and art for graduate school, I know its almost two extremes of the spectrum but you need to be that way.

As a finance major I've learned the value of risk vs. reward and opportunity costs, just spin that from dollars to sense. HOW IS THE ANTICIPATION OF GRADUATION AFFECTING YOU? To be honest, I feel like its not. Ive been working full time for over a year now and balancing out a full class load, so really Itm looking forward to getting some relief. We noticed a lot of my friends get stressed out about the whole situation and if you think about it- wetve done this seven times before, except you know, at the end of this semester we get to wear gowns and not come back. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE TO GIVE TO JUNIORS AS THEY ENTER THEIR SENIOR YEAR RELATED TO GRADUATION PREPARATION? My advice to juniors entering senior year, well, from personal experience, definitely keep track of your ACE and your requirements. Keep in touch with your advisor, lreally cannot thank Jeanne Batridge enough. She is, without a doubt in my mind, phenomenal. I mean, through the whole mess of me trying to graduate she went above and beyond for me and I can't stress my appreciation enough. Lastly, just keep your wits about you, you have time to worry about the small stuff and now really isnlt the time - get your credits and indulge in your last year at the U. AEL FLEISCHNER academics 255 N SPRING GRADUATION HAPPY 8 i COMMENC STORY BY CHRISTINA CARerBIS STAFF PHOTOS COURTESY Oi: CHRISTY GIBBS Not long after each yearls graduates clear the stage with their newly-earned degrees in hand, preparation begins for the following years graduates. At UM, preparation for each graduation begins almost a year in advance and is a continuous process involving about ten different areas of the University- from the Office of Commencement, to Parking and Transportation, to Public Safety. This year, around 3300 undergraduate, graduate, law and medical students graduated in the Spring Commencement ceremony. Six ceremonies were held over four days in a whirlwind of setting up, tearing down, shaking hands, smiling at guests, and making sure that each graduate and their families shared a memorable experience. UM is unique in the way it runs Commencement as a campus-wide collaborative effort. Over 300 people volunteer to help with each ceremony, from greeting families and friends, to driving golf carts for special needs guests, to helping COMMEN 03v THE NUMBERS with the receptions that are held by each school after each ceremony. Even the theatre department helps out, with someone from the Department of Theatre Arts working as a stage manager for each ceremony. The hardest part about pulling off a graduation ceremony is the fact that its a live show, said Allison Gillespie, Director of the Office of Commencement. ilPlanning and preparation is great, but once students walk through the door, its all out there. One of the biggest challenges that the preparation committees face is making the ceremony both something that will appropriately honor the students achievements and making it interesting and fun for students and families at the same time. One way that this is accomplished is through the ending part of the ceremony. The ending is one of the best parts of Commencement. Each year its a secret, and each year it changes? said Gillespie. iiWe started CEMENT 80th year of graduation ceremonies at UM June17,1927 the first UM commencement 1938 UM commencement held at Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables February 26, 1946 Academic Convocation took place at Orange Bowl stadium and Sir Winston Churchill received an honorary a degree, Doctor of Laws g 1956 First graduation for the School of Nursing 1956 First medical school graduation.

As the ceremonies wrap up and Sebastian makes a grand entrance, an air of celebration fills the Bank United Center. The graduates get the opportunity to finish their time at UM the same way they started it: with the pride of being a Miami Hurricane. FULL HOUSE Farhilegtrisrrl'a6'16 9'77qu 55'2i 'he Far ,.

I applied for this job even though it is very different from my major because my older sister held theisame position. When she was a senior at UM, I was coming in as a freshman, so they were looking to replace her after graduation. This job is even more special to me since it has stayed within the family.

This is one reason why UM sets up job fairs such as the Fall Career Expo. This year, 1,002 students and alumni attended the four-hour long event in the Wellness Center, with approximately 190 companies set up on the first two floors.

You go through various interviews? Amyl Headrick, a senior recruiter for Abercrombie 8t Fitch, said that the companys hiring process involves two interviews. If those go well, the student may begin management training. We are here to find the best students, Headrick said. Garcia said some students leave frustrated after hearing that they have to apply for positions online. He explained that most companies do this to avoid favoritism. Some students who participated in a face-to-face meeting still have an advantage. in contrast, others felt the advantage is found online.

NTHE REAL WORLD SO WHAT ARE YOU OPTIONS FOR GRADUATES STORY BY KENNETH FISCHLERNBIS STAFF ATTEND GRADUATE SCHOOL if four years of college were not enough, some students choose to further --sucations in a variety of graduate schools. Law, medical, and business I schools are just a few of the various options available to those who wish to attain degrees past a bachelors from their undergraduate institutions. IWhether its a J. D., M. D., or MBA you are after, the price of this education I year, excluding housing and food. True, it is rather arduous work if this path is taken but the outcomes are extremely rewarding and open the doors to endless job possibilities. So whether its becoming the next big attorney on a nationally televised case, the doctor that develops the technique or drug that changes healthcare, or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, graduate school is a wonderful way to begin a professional career. ' GO TEACH AMERICA Teach for America tTFAt is a nonprofit organization founded by Wendy Kopp in 1990 with the mission to close the educational achievement gap between low and high income communities. In order to achieve this goal, TFA recruits recent college graduates to make a two year commitment to teach elementary, middle, or high school in low income communities in one of twenty five urban or rural areas across the country. TFA members participate in a summer training institute to prepare for the classroom experience. Corp members are hired by the schools themselves and receive the usual first year teachers salary based on their location, in addition to similar benefits as well. The process begins online with an application, followed by a phone interview, and then a final interview day consisting of a sample lesson plan, group discussions, a writing sample, and a personal interview. Once selected to participate and assigned to a location based on preference, your teaching reer can begin. When the two years are finished, students can continue I h education, apply for graduate school, or go directly into another .ired job. TFA allows students to give back to the community and make a ti erence in many lives while preparing for their own future careers. T AVEL THE WORLD Aoopular option among recent college graduates is to take some time off to Iravel the world. Because both graduate schools and jobs are more time co suming than college, some students feel the need to take a well-deserved bre k before taking the next big step in their lives. So if one does decide to tra eI, what is the most popular destination of choice? It seems that most stu-ents here in the United States feel that life cannot truly begin until a trip to urope is completed. Some Choose to backpack through various locations a a get to know Europe up close and personal on a relatively small budget. Athers wish to stay and dine at only the most luxurious places and travel W like royalty. Whatever the preference, it seems that Europe has a lot to offer people with all types of interests and there is no doubt that everyone will come back satisfied with the experience. GET A JOB Some students know what they want to do with their lives well before college even begins. In situations where a degree past a bachelors is not required, some students choose to go straight into the workforce after graduation. Many students majoring in areas of business and finance get internships or paying jobs early in college with banks, financial firms, etc. and are offered fuII-time positions once they finish college. Sometimes these businesses offer to pay for students to go back to school and get a degree such as an MBA so they can further their careers, although this is not always the case. However, all jobs do not require internships and years of experience. Some students are content working various jobs in restaurants, clothing stores, etc. that they might already have until they find their true callings in life. Either way, for those who are lucky enough to have jobs waiting for them after graduation, many opportunities are already available to them to make money without having to immediately continue school. some GRADUATED Spring 200 with a degree in Biology AFTER GRADUATING Enrolled in the UM Miller School of Medicine There are many valid and beneficial reasons to take time off before starting graduate school-not the least of which being to travel, gain work experience, or for some rest and relaxation. However, being attached to school as I am, none of these reasons were able to dissuade me from continuing with my academic pursuits. So after graduating in spring 2006, I enrolled into the UM Miller School of Medicine. So far, it has been an invigorating experience, very much challenging as well as rewarding. While at times I may feel overwhelmed by the workload, I do not regret my decision and I am still very much committed to the path I have chosen. GO NG TO DO NOW? EQGDCODT IEGDE TL 59$?

I thought I would vacation in Miami but I never thought I would live here. AFTER RUMORS THIS SUMMER OF YOU TRANSFERRING TO TEXAS, WHAT HAS MADE YOU STAY? Coach Coker and I had a long talk about my decision and the type of experience I was going to have in my future. The new coaching staff and certainly the offensive and quarterback coordinators played a role in my decision to stay at UM. WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH KYLE WRIGHT? IS IT COMPETITIVE? Our relationship is very good. I always say Kyle is one of my best friends. We are there for each other through thick and thin. Kyle knows regardless, I have his back. Off the field we have a good time, go to the beach and enjoy each others company. But when we step in this 0 ense at any time. I really credit myself for pushing Kyle to be a great QB. He needs someone to push him, just as I will need someone to push me. My time will come once Kyle leaves, just as Kyle had his time when Brock left. IS IT HARD TO WATCH A GAME RATHER THAN PLAY? Its really difficult to sit and watch. I feel like I have one of the toughest roles because I feel like I could go to a lot of other universities and start. But you have to prepare as a starter every week. You dont know when it will happen, and you have to take full advantage if your offense is going to falter. After an injury to first string quarterback Kyle Wright, Freeman finally got his chance to shine on the fieid. Starting in the last three reguiar season games, losing to both the University of Maryiand and University of Virginia, Kirby went on to Win his final game at home against Boston College, 77-74 to make the Hurricanes bowi eligibie.

Despite the absence of former players Michael Irvin, Jeremy Shockey, and Clinton Portis, we still found a way to bring home a win. We can attribute the win against Boston College to two men; our future Head Coach, Randy Shannon, and former defensive tackle Bryan Pata. Despite the small crowd at the Thanksgiving Day game, the Hurricanes found meaning in football for that night of mourning to honor Pata. The Hurricanes had a rigid performance against the highly ranked Boston College offense, which intercepted one pass and caused one fumble against U.M. A defensively based game, it took two final drives by U.M. quarterback Kirby Freeman to lead us to a victory. The first drive was completed by Lance Legget's seven- yard touchdown catch, and the second was completed by a Javarris James two- yard run. MPC COMPUTERS BOWL Who would have ever thought we would see the University of Miami playing a bowl game on New Years Eve? Our Hurricanes played their first game on the Smurf Turf of Boise State in the MPC Computers Bowl. Marching in with their heads hanging low after a dismal season, the Hurricanes found a formidable foe in the high-powered pistol offense of the University of Nevada. Starting the game with a i3-play, 70-yard drive, our Hurricanes offense scored a touchdown on their first possession. After that moment, the seesaw battle began. A safety and a touchdown by the University of Nevada gave them a short lead over Miami. A 13-yard touchdown catch by Ryan Moore gave the Hurricanes a haIf-time lead of 14- 11. As the second half began, Nevada kicked a field goal, but the tied bowl game was short-Iived when Sam Shields caught a 78-yard touchdown, giving the Hurricanes their third lead of the bowl game. This play would give our Hurricanes what they needed to win the game. Nevada began to mount its comeback in the fourth quarter with two field goals. During the next Nevada possession they began to drive again, but Chavez Grant made the game-sealing interception for the Hurricanes to complete their hard earned win. IN MEMORIAM On Tuesday, Novemember 7, 2006 after leaving football practice Bryan Pata was murdered outside of his apartment in Kendall. A memorial service was held for Pata at Gusman Concert Hall on November 15, 2006. At the end of the final regular season game, bringing home a bittersweet win against Boston College, coaches and teammates gathered in the center of the field to commerate the death of senior defensive end Bryan Pata.

Life at UM would have been drastically different had I not been on the team and living with these guys. Freshman year was fun, but I think I really started to enjoy it here sophomore year. Living with the four guys in the dorms was a lot of fun and we all started to run well. If I didnt run here I would probably have transferred to the University of Michigan after my freshman year. Im glad I stayed, its been a blast. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER COLLEGE? 10 years from now I hope to own a private dental practice and be working less than 5 days a week. Im sure that I will continue running MENIS CROSS COUNTRY A e riei eads D after this year but I know that it will not be at the same level. The time and energy commitment required to run at this level is such that l don,t see myself pursuing it further. Perhaps IIII focus my athletic efforts someplace new and exciting. We thought about cycling, and I did a triathlon over the summer, which was fun. TCI em II I IICIa iri er I'natri llVlNG UNDER ONE ROOF lAND SDMETIMES JUMPING OFF OF ID HELPS THE MENiS CROSS COUNTRY SENIORS GO THE DISTANCE TOM BERRY I lUII WHAT ARE YOUR PREDICTIONS FOR THE TEAM NEXT YEAR? Anytime you lose a group of seniors, especially guys that have been the core of the squad their entire time here, it will hurt a team. Next year will definitely be a time when the others will have to step up and be leaders and really make up for the loss of depth. I think they can all handle it, though. DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE RUNNING RELATED MEMORY? I would have to say that the Chili Pepper invite at the University of Arkansas was my favorite overall trip. I think everybody really ran exceptionally well; it was one of the best performances in team history, I think. The whole trip was very positive and we had a great I, v vb time. On a lighter side, during that trip our coach also managed to get the team van stuck in a ditch and a bunch of other teams buses had to sit and watch as he tried to get us unstuck. It was very comical. ,w iIITH'ICII l JON SCHEINER WHAT DOES BEING A MEMBER OF THE TEAM MEAN TO YOU? I have made friends for life because of the team. I see myself keeping in touch with everyone after we graduate. I donlt know if we wouldlve been friends otherwise, but being on the team together and living together has really brought us all together. WHAT ARE YOUR PREDICTIONS FOR NEXT YEAR? Next year the team will lose a lot of talent with us leaving, but they also have a lot of promise and talent remaining. Hopefully we have set a good example for them to build on next year. Also, some of the underclassmen will probably move into the house after we leave, so that should be good PHOTO COURTESY OI: TOM BERRY STORY EV l:JODI COPLANM IBIS STA I-IOTOS FFBY ASLH E NORTON AND KARINA DEARWOODMIBIS STAFF for the team in the years to come. HOW DOES LIVING TOGETHER AFFECT RUNNING? Having my teammates live with me does motivate me. We all train together and live together, so of course it creates a friendly competitiveness. We all want to run well as a team, and living together helps build good team chemistry. HOW HAS HAVING A RUNNERlS HOUSE AFFECTED THE TEAM? Having the house has given our teammates a place to come and relax after practice or on the weekends. It also has given them a place to get together for team functions, and we have an open-door policy for them.l think it definitely has brought the team together, and I hope that it has helped our performances, but there is no real way to know that or not. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS? 10 years from now I hope to have a nice family and good job in the financial industry. I hope to be running road races of various distances, including marathons, and competing in triathlons. I definitely wonlt run professionally, because as much as I dream, I am way too slow. DO YOU HAVE ANY GOOD STORIES ABOUT YOUR ROOMATES? Funny story about Jon: We started calling him Jon Texas and we confused the hell out of Coach.

University of Florida HOW DID YOU MAKE THE DECISION T0 TRANSFER? WAS IT BASED ON SOCCER OR ON THE SCHOOL? It was based on both, not one or the other, but soccer sparked the thought of me transferring. HOW DID YOU DECIDE WHERE TO GO TO PLAY SOCCER WHEN YOU WERE FIRST LOOKING AT SCHOOLS? I knew I wanted to go to a really big school, and location was an issue; I wanted to stay in a warm climate. Also, UP is in the top 50 schools in the country so it was a perfect fit.

SWIMMING AND DIVING The UM Swimming and Diving team made headlines this year with the recognition of many of its team members for individual accomplishments. In March, freshman diver Ruben Ross earned two AII-American honors in one weekend at the 2007 Ments NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships after capturing fourth place in the men1s 10-meter platform dive and eighth place in the one-meter springboard. Ross was the only diver representing the Hurricanes at the meet, and proved to be a worthy competitor in the event. Junior Jenna Dreyer competed at the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne, Australia from March 19-26, where she finished 13th in the one-meter springboard preliminary and 23rd in the three-meter preliminary. In addition, Dreyer was named the ACC Diver of the year and was this season1s ACC Champion and Most Valuable Diver.

We hit the board, but We never had a shoulder or wrist injury, two of the most common diving injuries. Ive been pretty fortunate. WHAT IS THE HARDEST PART ABOUT BEING A DIVER? When I was younger, it was hard. I used to want to do what other kids were doing but I had to practice. Now, there are always challenges but I just really enjoy what I do so it makes it a lot easier. HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE TWO ALL AMERICAN HONORABLE MENTIONS AS A FRESHMAN? Pretty exciting!

I plan to stay and dive with Randy for another four to six years, but I would love to eventually move back home. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE THROUGHOUT YOUR CAREER AT UM? Time management is important, but a lot of people have made the transition very STATS ON JENNA STORY BY JODI COPLAerBIS STAFF easily. It hasnlt been too much of struggle. I had been living in Canada three years before coming to UM. Miami is very Latin and I feel that I share more cultural similarities to Latin countries than American countries, so I didnt have a difficult transition. HOW DO YOU FEEL OVERALL ABOUT YOUR DIVING CAREER AT UM? I still have a long way to go, but I am doing very well on that track. My coaches are fantastic. They have helped to keep me going the right way. WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL? Heather, a senior on the team. She is incredibly focused and hard working. She has come so far from when I started.

Majoring in Engineering, Copeland only saw basketball as an afternoon recreational sport with the boys. Playing outside the Wellness Center day in and day out, Keaton grew to know some of the UM basketball players who ultimately encouraged Keaton to waIk-on to the Ments Basketball team. A football and basketball player in high school, Copeland never thought he would be playing for a Division 1 team, as he had only been recruited for football at a small liberal arts college up North. Copeland has become such a devoted player to his team that in order to play in his final year of eligibility at UM, Copeland chose to take on a second major in Mathematics. Keaton Copeland believes there is one main difference separating him from his teammates: Most of the other guys on the team call themselves student- 4 athletes. I call myself an athletic student.

WHO ARE YOUR ROLE MODELS? My oldest brother, John Copeland lll, who is 37 years old. He is on the Board of Trustees for Jackson Memorial Hospital, and was the first Valedictorian of Miami Springs. He also received a full academic scholarship to Harvard University. He found a way to support 19 people, all living in the same rat-infested house.

FAVORITE MOVIE: The Bodyguard FAVORITE BOOK: The Bible and The Godfather A A HOW DID YOU START PLAYING BASKETBALL? By accident. I went to go sign up my older sister for a house league when I was only ten and they needed people. My sister dropped and I kept going. HOW DID YOUR HEIGHT AFFECT YOU BOTH ON AND OFF THE COURT? On the court it is an advantage. Not so much anymore, though, because sometimes I felt short this year. Some of the girls we played were 64-53? I went through this phase where i didnt want to be tall. Now I always get people telling me they wish they were tall. HOW DID YOU CHOOSE MIAMI? How could you not choose Miami! I came here and really wanted to be here. I love it. I think its really hard to visit and find a reason not to come here. The only thing I didnlt like was running pre-season in the heat. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER GRADUATION? I would like to stay down here and find something in the Sports Industry. ARE YOU READY TO GRADUATE? I like this lifestyle.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING YOU SOUGHT OUT TO DO AS A BASKETBALL PLAYER AT UM? You can look at it two ways, by statistics or by how much work it takes to compete at this level. Statistics: I always want to do better. Working hard: I did, both on and off the court. And that is more important to me because that is something you can control on your own. WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL? My parents. I would have never thought that coming into this, but I have seen how life is and how they are able to keep such a great relationship with four kids. It is not easy. Thatls what I want to grow up to be like. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR ADVICE TO A PLAYER LIKE YOURSELF? Work hard everyday. Donlt take anything for granted. Just because when it is all said and done, it is so important to walk away knowing you did everything in your power. There is a famous quote that says, The worst pain in the life is the pain of regret. You have to live with yourself the rest of your life so you dont want to walk away feeling any regret.

With a very young team, the Hurricanes are holding out hope for improvement as they become more experienced. We only had two seniors this year, Coach Meier said. The teams youth may prove to be its biggest asset. The UM womenls team will be a potent foe for any ACC team next year, returning eight of ten players from this years roster. The fast-paced tempo of the team is one of its greatest characteristics. We really want to get out in transition, I think we scored 60-7006 of our points that way this year, says Meier. With quality wins against Indiana, Boston College, and Wake Forest, the team shows definite promise for the future.

Mews TENNIS PHOTO COURTESY OF SPORTS INFORMATION ITALIAN STALLION Carrega came all the way froth Mlah lt:ly to p ay for the Mews Tennis team Most freshmen stodents deal with a number of things: living away from home, not being able to see mom and dad, and lastly, getting acclimated to the Miami lifestyle. Now, try balancing all of those things, plus not living in your country of origin and being a UM athlete. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world of Barnabas Carrega. Carrega, a 61 freshman from Milan, Italy, did not have too much time to adjust to college life. During this past year, Carrega has helped the menls tennis team to a top 20 national ranking, and IAN MPRT IARN; 3A5 CARREGA BRINGS 1le TO MENlS TENNIS has become one of the most promising freshmen in the ACC. Although the pressure does not seem to bother the young Italian, he does suffer what affects most freshmen: I miss my family, especially my mom's cooking, Carrega said. Although Barney, as his classmates know him, misses home, that has not stopped him from becoming acclimated to Miami. I love where the campus is, it's warm all the time, he said. Barney may be a UM athlete, but he also understands the value of education. He has not EIARNEW only made strides on the tennis court, but also in the classroom. 'lBarney is a really smart guy in class, he doesnt say much, but when he does, it is always something intelligent, said a member of Barneyls E58 204 Class. For years, UM was known as Suntan U and because of student athlete problems in the 805 and early 90s the school lived up to that name; but with the help of athletes like Barnaba Carrega, and coaches like men's head tennis coach, Mario Rincon, UMls image is on its way up.

At the age of six, Caren began playing recreational tennis, but by the age of 12 they began to see a true tennis star. By age15,Carenfound herself being home schooled due to her rigorous practice schedule. With hopes of playing professionally, Caren and her family packed their bags in New York to head down to Florida, where Caren would have access to the training, resources, weather and good competition she needed to succeed in the professional world. WHATlS THE HARDEST THING ABOUT BEING A STUDENT ATHLETE? Time Management. We miss a lot of school due to traveling and playing, but you still have the responsibilities that regular students have. We have a lot of practice hours so we dont have the extra time to fit in all the work. Its hard to have a normal social life in college. You have to always be physically prepared to give it your all. I have never been out on Thursday nights in the Grove because if I have a match on Friday or Saturday, I cant afford to be tired. HOW DID YOU CHOOSE MIAMI? Their tennis program is nationally ranked. I love the weather, and its close to where my parents live now. WHAT,S THE HARDEST THING FOR YOU TO DO ON THE COURT? When I first came to college I hated playing doubles. Doubles is a huge part of college tennis. I was forced to learn how it and I started to feel more say I am decent in partner, and I only lost one match this season, against UNC. WHAT ARE YOUR PRACTICES LIKE? Tough. Our coach always demands we give it our all. They are also fun because I really love my team. Even though we push each other every day, we are able to joke around and laugh, which is really important. I have been on teams in previous years where we came to practice, got it done, and left. When you enjoy being around people it makes it a lot easier. WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL? My dad. Welve had a really close relationship my entire life because he has been my coach as well. When we first moved to Florida he was diagnosed with cancer, but he still stayed really dedicated to my tennis and me even though he was going through such a difficult time. He sacrificed a lot for me to make surel succeed. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PLAYING SINGLES VS DOUBLES? In singles, the sole responsibility is on yourself. When you play doubles you feel there is more responsibility to uphold your side and not let your partner down. DO YOU HAVE ONE GAME THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER? Last year we got to the NCAA finals. It was the most fulfilling thing as far as my tennis career is concerned. Our season definitely had its ups and downs. To be able to get to the finals and do what we did was really rewarding. FINAL WORDS Becoming a student athlete has challenged me in more ways than I thought. When I first signed to come to college thought it would be a relief to go to college and play for a team, but whatl didnit realize was how hectic it would be. I didnt realize how much time and energyl would need. It has definitely taught me a lot of things and is a great way to prepare for the adversity you will face in real world situations. When I enter the real world Illl be able to deal with authority or the pressure of meeting a deadline. Illl have the skills to deal with certain situations all because of tennis.

STORY BY DENNIS PICCONEwlBIS STAFF PHOTOS BV VERONICA SHARONwlBlS STAFF Can you name the other sports program at the University of Miami that has five National Championships? Its not the baseball, basketball, or track team. If you want to talk national titles, talk to the women's golf team. The womenls golf team, coached by Lela Cannon, showed great ability and poise this season. The team average during the season was a stunningly low 313.00. The team leader in scoring average was Jessica Steward, who averaged 76.54. Steward, a junior transfer from Boston College had one win, two top-five finishes, four top-tens, and five top-twenties. She also had the team low score for the season of 69. College golf is just as hard on these girls as any other sport here at UM. The competition level in the ACC is among the best in the country. ltltts hard playing against golf powerhouses in the ACC, Steward said. The team looks to rebuild for next year, but does return three of the top six starters. Two of the three top scorers on the team, Hagen Weintraub and Jessica Steward, will be returning next year as well. Steward and Weintraub are looking forward to the challenge of serving as co-captains of the team next year, and showing the younger players what it takes to be victorious in college golf. The team will be expecting three new players next season, We are getting three new girls, two freshmen and one transfer. Its going to feel like a completely different team, but in a good way. lthink we are going to do a lot better then we did this year, Steward said. College golf is an intense competition, just like any other sport. People forget that the best young players still play college golf, and the amount of time that goes into their games in very intense, We have two or three hours of practice everyday, and we have strength and conditioning twice a week, said Steward. Golf is looked at as more of a hobby than a sport. Try telling these girls that golf isnt a sport, and you are sure to be contradicted. Golf is a game of the mind as well as the body. From the sounds of it, it looks like our girls are poised for a run at National success next year and maybe even a sixth national title. iAh A 45 7K, i KEEPING QUIET Sebastian lends some non-vocal support to senior Tiffany Prats.

I started in college last year as a freshman. I was willing to try something athletic. WHAT INTRIGUED YOU ABOUT THE SPORT? It was different. WHAT IS A TYPICAL PRACTICE LIKE? Waking up early, going on the water for an how and a half, then washing boats and coming back to campus, WHAT IS THE BEST PART ABOUT BEING A COXSWAIN? You are in control of things. Instead of using your body as a muscle you use your brain constantly. You have to be quick and think on your toes and always be a few steps ahead. HOW DO YOU MOTIVATE YOUR TEAM ON RACEDAY? We tend to talk a-lot. We go over our race plan and think of ways to rip apart the other team ARE THERE DAYS YOU WANT TO GIVE UP? IF SO, WHAT MADE YOU STAY? I dont usually feel like giving up. I just take one day at a time. If a bad day comes, I come back the next day ready to go. WHAT IS THE HARDEST PART ABOUT BEING A COXSWAIN THAT PEOPLE DONtT REALIZE? You do so much. At times it's just as tiring as rowing. And there is so much stuff done outside of actual practice time. Some times it is like class and you go home with homework. HOW HAS ROWING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE? It has definitely helped me find my own voice. It pushes me to take a stand and be responsibi 9. WHAT IS THE BIGGESVTE CHALLENGE YOU HA FACED IN YOUR CAREER AS A COLLEGE ROWER? HOW DID YOU OVER COME IT? I dont think that We had any big challenge as a rower that was life- c-hanging. I mean, switching from rower to coxswain and earning the trust of the girls was difficult. But its nothing that I can't do HOW HAS BEING AN ATHLETE IN COLLEGE AFFECTED YOU? It has affected my confidence physically. I feel I can accomplish any physical task with ease. Being an athlete is a full time job and to go to school full time as well is amazing. Maybe I have more CRUZ DIRECTOR trouble iacademicallyJ because I m in engineering and getting a double major, as opposed to some other athletes. Being an athlete in college definitely has a ton of benefits, like getting a lot of help In every area and having people take care of you. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS? Hopefully in graduate school or working.

It is pretty much opposite sides of the world. Miami is much more fast-paced, whereas my hometown is more laid back. WHICH DO YOU PREFER? I like both. Its nice to go home because it's always going to be home. One thing I miss is the weather. There are actually seasons there.

Aoro BY ASHLEY DAVIDSON 1' f6, WAS MIAMI A HUGE CHANGE? It wasnt much of a culture shock. I had been to big cities like Dallas, Los Angeles and New York City, so I knew what it was like. The ' weather here is exactly like summer time back home. WHICH DO YOU LIKE BETTER? I prefer Little Rock. Itm a big outdoors guy; I love to go hunting and freshwater fishing. DO YOU THINK YOUtLL GO BACK? Yes, after I graduate in December. I cant stand the traffic here. PHOTO av ALLISON BEZOLD The double play is the defensive homerun. Little League is the first time a young child is taught how to side step the runnerxat. second base and make the throw to first base. Although the logistics of a double play are simple in their concept, there is not any other play in defensive baseball that generates more excitement. There are many types of double plays, some more smoothly executed than others. Here's how it might 90:0 The ball is hitito the shortstop on a groundball. 2 The shortstop fields the groundbal'l and throws it to the second basemen, who going to record an out at second base. St The second baseman then throws the ball to the first baseman, who is waiting with an outstretched arm at first base to record the second out. i This visually poetic occurrence happens every so often at a UM baseball game, and no other tandem are better at doing it thenshortstoo Roger Tomas and second baseman Jemile Weeks. ' This year against Georgia Tech, Jemile and Roger pulledkoff a beautiful double play to end an inning and shift momentum back to the Canes during the coarse of the game. The two men say it wastheir favorite play they have successfully executed i together. But what is the most satisfying part of turning a double play? You get more satisfaction that you are helping out your pitcher. There are chances that he is struggling, so you arent just helping the team but the pitcher asiweli.

I donlt really feel any pressure to play at a higher level. I take everyday to improve myself. My brothers play on the field doesnt really impact me personally, said Weeks. From a young age, the Weeks brothers were out on the field or in the front yard playing catch with the neighbors, but their competitive nature to always to want to beat one another is how they have become such great successes inside the diamond. Perhaps we have their father to blame , or thank, for turning a hobby for these young boys into a living dream for his grown sons. WHO IS THE BETTER ATHLETE- YOU OR YOUR BROTHER? Me.

About 30 people are in the group at the beginning of each year, and it generally fades over time.

I found out about it at CanesFest my freshmen year, and joined it with a few other girls from my floor in Hecht. WHAT IS A NORMAL PRACTICE LIKE? About 3000 yards for the more experienced swimmers; 2000 yards for the less experienced, and if there are beginners, the executive board Qoresident, vice-president, secretary, or treasureo help them out and coach them.

I am now an assistant coach for that same summer league team. DO YOU HAVE A TEAM NAME? No, it is just the Swimming and Aquatics Club. We do kind of have a slogan though, which is on our t- shirts: iiCaution: Slippery When Wet . ANYTHING ELSE? The club is co-ed and very low key. We like to do activities that are fun, such as visits to the Venetian pool, beach days, and pizza parties. We are currently trying to build our member base in order to possibly have future meets and competitions. We were able to get t-shirts this year, which is a first since I have been at UM. We are also looking into ordering equipment, as we have no kickboards, buoys, etc. that actually belong to the club.

There are four leagues of flag football teams: Menls, Woments, Co-rec, and Greek. Women seem to be taking an increasing interest in flag football and have come up with some creative team names for their intramural teams. Denise Norton, a graduate student at UM, played flag football all four years of her undergraduate education. Cleverly chosen, her undergraduate team name was Tenacity, but Nortonls former team member who came up with the name wanted her to choose a new one if she decided to play after graduation. t'l guess she wanted the name to graduate with her, Norton olayers 7y to grab :heir oooonerts flag of? their belt to e minate players from the OBITIS said. Norton and her friend decided on the team name Kraft Kids when they were joking around trying to choose a name and Norton had Mac and Cheese on her mind. Its not only women, though, of course who are showing interest in UM flag football teams. Greg Hughes, a member of the team Aunt Jemimals Sticky Boys, plays intramurals for fun, exercise and for the competitive atmosphere. When asked where the team name originated, Hughes said that his friends Nick and Matt decided to attack him with a bottle of syrup while he was showering one night last year. When I got out of the shower my hair was all sticky and I had to take another shower, he said. Hughes chose revenge and attacked his friend Nick the next evening while he was showering with the same bottle of syrup. We decided to get a few more people who lived on the floor, hence we became Aunt Jemimats Sticky Boys? Hughes said. Some funny names from the Fall 2006 season are I Thought She Wa518, Aunt Jemimals Sticky Boys, and What Would Shawn Taylor Do?, said Senior Dave Alvarez. IIBut usually the more silly the name, the worse the team. They have a great name, but a horrible team? Despite the crazy names and intense competition that goes into some of the flag football games, intramural sports at UM. are a popular distraction from the stress of being a college student.

STORY BY STACEY KRAUSiIBIS STAFF PHOTOS BY VERONICA SHARONABIS STAFF Every year intramural basketball season comes and goes, and with each year new players take the spotlight. This year, however, it is time to recognize those key players who are often not given enough credit. These key players, are those running the courts in the black and white: the referees and officials. In order for the intramural tournaments to be run, there needs to be an official helping out. But, how does one even become an official, and why would hewshe choose to do $0? One official, Courtney Grzesikowski, said, I played flag football in high school, and thought EofficiatingJ would be a fun and easy job. Also, it is one of the highest paying jobs on campus. Officials receive a starting pay of $7.50 an hour, and with a salary like that and an interest in sports, it's no wonder she loves her job. So what exactly does an official do? Usually we show up twenty minutes before game time, set up the court or field, sign in the teams, have a captain meeting to introduce ourselves, go over rules, answer any questions, then just officiate the game Cusually 3 or 4 a nighD, then break down the field or court, said Grzesikowski. Aspiring officials are trained for every sport, usually about a four-hour training session, and must take an exam and pass with an 80th: or above before they can start. When asked about any qualms with her job, the only response Courtney gave had to do with the actual outfits. Yes, you are required to wear proper attire. The only problem that l have with the uniforms is that they only order menls sizes, so nothing fits right. All of my shirts are way too big. in the end, though, its these uniforms and their hard work that make these key players stand out. SIDE LINE VIEW Referee Mark Warren watches for any penalties or fouls. WHSTLE Andrew Hass blows the whistle to signal the completion of the game. PLAYERS, SUBSTITUTIONS, AND EQUIPMENT A. Each team consists of five t3 players, one of whom is the captain. B. A team may start with a minimum of four my players. The game may continue with three players as long as that team still has a chance to win. C. Everyone playing must have hiswher name, ID. number, and jersey number on the score sheet before hewshe enterskthe game. PENALTY: technical foul credited to captain of offending team. D. A player who is injured or is bleeding, has an open wound, has an excessive amount of blood on the uniform, must leave the game. F. Team uniforms are required. Teams will assign themselves a different color when they sign-up. These colored shirts will be required by the regular season. If a team shows up without same colored shirts, they will receive a forfeit. G.

These shows have a very road fan base, entertaining both children nd adults, and cover almost any topic. When it comes to anime, anything goes, aid junior Nicole Cubillas. .nimets influence can even be found here n the UM campus. Many students hang esters of their favorite anime characters n their dorm walls or watch hours of wime films. Because of its popularity, UM anior Diego Valdes started the Anime lub. He felt the club could give UM :udents and Miami residents not familiar 'ith anime exposure to this style of wimation. What Diego did not realize was just how many students already loved anime. When I started this club I had no idea that there were so many people obsessed with anime, said Valdes. I mean people have plastic collectibies, insane movie collections, wali scrolls, you name it! Now, 40 club members meet once a week to watch multiple episodes of anime cartoons and explore other forms of anime. We get together and go to Gameworks and play Dance Dance Revolution because it is influenced by Japanese animation, said Valdes. The anime club plans to expand their activities by attending the annual Anime Exhibition in Florida. What makes the club enjoyable is that it offers members a chance to unwind, said Cubillas. University life can be stressful. Its nice to have the chance to just kick back with some friends and watch some cartoons. s organizations OI N OI ORGANIZATIONS KATHRYN BAXN AFRICAN STUDENTS UNION ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE CLUB KATHRYN BAIN AFRICAN STUDENTS UNION African Student Union promotes awareness and an understanding of African cultures and traditions.

It is no wonder the student body birthed the Canes Emergency Response Team tCERU the following year. CERT is an organization of student volunteers that can be deployed in times of distress, such as hurricanes, to help the University and the surrounding community to get back on their feet. CERT members are certified to work alongside rescue workers to cover many aspects of impending threat. The organization is headed this year by CERT President Jonathan Meizoso, a sophomore. I joined CERT because I wanted to take an active part in the Universityis disaster response, he said. I wanted to be able to help out my fellow student community in real times of need, and I figured this would be a great way to do it. The size of the team has already doubled from the original 30-member crew. Each member is fueled by the thought of helping others and must attend at least 20 hours of instructional courses that include search and rescue skills, medical training, and preparation for emergency situations that may arise in hurricane conditions, such as food allocation. This ensures they can be ready at any moment to face any emergency situation that the university might encounter. Senior Christina Carr, CERTis Vice President of Logistics, explains, iiThe drills and exercises we do can be challenging. but I think it better prepares us to be able to act knowledgeably in an emergency situation. The university needs to know that they can rely on us in times of need, even though we may be young. To ensure this, the team is constantly training and being put to the test. In August 2006, in coalition with Miami Dade and Coral Gables Fire Rescue, the team ran a disaster response drill that included a mock airlift operation by an actual air rescue helicopter off of the UC green.

This is currently the situation for many Palestinian citizens, and on Thursday, October19th at 8:30 pm, JM students congregated at the Rock to recognize their plight. Candles flickered in the breeze and students recited poetry, exchanging :houghts of empathy. The candlelight vigil was hosted by DASIS, the Organization of Arab Students Insituting Solidarity.

It just shows that there is no longer any innocence left in childhood. After the video, one by one, students lit candles and recited poetry, some in English and some in Arabic. The poems shed light on some of the hardships that Palestinians have faced and describe hopes for a peaceful and healthier future. The use of poetry was a very creative way to describe the human rights side of the issue, said graduate student Kate Kardosh. Under the silhouette of large branched trees on a warm October night, the vigil ended with slideshow of several heart wrenching scenes from Palestine set to serene Arabic music. Students left with a new awareness and refreshed optimism for hope and change in the future.

In the spring of 2006, however, junior Jessica Gorra helped give pre-Iaw students another option. Gorra created the Pre-Law Advisory Club CPLAQ because she felt that another pre-Iaw society was needed to give students more direction on everything from how to get a good LSAT tLaw School Admission Testy score, to what specialty to practice. ttPAD is a great organization, but it focuses more on socializing than it does on what it really takes to go to Law School and become an attorney, said Gorra. PLACts focus is geared toward both the academic and social aspects of being a pre-law student. The club offers its members access to valuable information including advice straight from UM Schoo of Law students and professors. Since PLAC is a new organization, they have revolved their Club around what their members want. At the end of each of their meetings they hand out anonymous surveys to members so that they can see in what ways they can become more effective. PLAC really tries to build a community to help our pre-law students in the ways they need help and guidance, said junior Annery Conley.

The newspaper is edited and produced by undergraduate students at UM and is published semi-weekiy on Tuesdays and Fridays during the regular academic year. This year, T.J. Einstein was the editor-in-chief, and he had a team of talented editors, writers, designers, and photographers to help make the newspaper a success. The staff meets twice weekly before publication. and the office is always busy with ongoing productivity and hard work. Over 30 hours of effort go into the publication of each edition. With deadlines on both Sundays and Wednesdays, the staff of the newspaper work hard during the week and the weekend. Though the Hurricane only publishes twice weekly and gets distributed to almost 30 different locations on and around campus, staffers treat their job as news reporters as an everyday duty. Even though the paper only publishes twice a week, I still think we have a responsibiity to inform students about what is going on on a day to day basis, said Greg Linch, news editor. That's why we have been working on improving our website so that we can have more online coverage. With a fresh look this year and an expanded website, the Hurricane even managed to break a story about a sexual assualt in Pearson Residential College before local media. Run by students, for students, the Miami Hurricane is a sure bet for information for anything about and around campus.

STORY BY CAROLINA CASTROXlBlS STAFF PHOTOS COURTESY OF TRICANES Can you swim for a mile and a half? How about ride a bike for 24 miles? Maybe you can run for up to six miles? Not many people are in the physical condition necessary to complete any of those exercises, let alone for those distances. At UM, a group of 30 members exert themselves on a nearly daily basis to swim, bike and run for long distances. The lives of the members of the Tri-Canes club revolve around triathlons. They maintain a healthy and balanced diet and train constantly to be in their best physical condition. Besides practicing each activity individually, they also perform ttbrick workouts which combine two sports, one after the other. The club competes in at least three marathons a year, including a national competition. Competing in triathlons can become an expensive pastime. To offset these costs, the club works with several sponsors to help maintain their equipment. Local Miami stores Mack Cycle Gym, Footworks and SwimBikeRun all contribute to the members, needs. Everything from bike maintenance to scheduling some organized runs is taken care of for them by these stores. The best thing about this club is making friends with people you wouldnt normally meet and sharing the common interest of triathlon, said junior Holly Hamilton. Not only does the club train and compete together, they also do a significant amount of community service by regularly cleaning up Hobbie Beach, located in Key Biscayne. Tri-Canes gives its members a great atmosphere to go compete and have fun, said junior Seth Price. Its so exciting!

These students carve up the wake on their boards and wakeskates as they try to perfect tricks like ollies and front-side 1803. These stunts and the inevitable wipeouts are all a part of a UM Wakeboarding Clubts weekly meetings. Because of the extreme nature of the sport, many UM students are surprised to hear that UM has a wakeboarding club. Wakeboarding, like all extreme sports, has a lot of risks? said club founder Lacey Menkin. As a result, getting the club approved by the university was not an easy task. But once Lacey and other advocates for the club proved they could practice the sport in a way that ensured the safety of its members, the club officially became a part of UM. The club holds meetings every week at Splash Academy, located near the marine stadium on Biscayne Bay, or on a private lake in Homestead through a local wakeboarding club. The club provides its members with boards and other equipment, allowing members to practice their skills regularly. Because of the club I went from wakeboarding once or twice a semester to wakeboarding once or twice a week, said club member Ian Lebov. Riding with other people in the club that are from different places exposes you to different tricks and allows your riding to progress more quickly. All of the practice the club puts in on the water has paid off, as they placed eleventh overall in the Collegiate Nationals in wakeboarding. The best part of the club, however, is that it allows members to experience the true camaraderie of the sport. Club members have become so close that they even call themselves Hell's Mermaids. Sure, you might be the only person riding behind the boat at any given time, but your other club members are all on board watching you, teaching you and inspiring you to improve, said Menkin. a organizations 04 N '0 t ORGANIZATIONS TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO CLUB This club educates the community about West Indian culture, promotes the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, and unites Trinidadians and Tobagonians.

For the 15 percent of Miami students whose allegiance goes to their Greek letters, such a bond of sister- and brotherhood lasts not only the four years spent at UM, but an entire lifetime. With 26 organizations on campus in 2007, the Greek community continues to represent the friendship, leadership, and philanthropy it has held constant since1927. Throughout the years, UM students have lived the quintessential notion of Greek life characteristic of classic American culture. ttltis exciting to be able to experience such a tradition at such an amazing university, said Carrie Hanson, a freshman in Alpha Delta Pi. With such traditions as Hell Week, dating back to a bygone era of hazing, to Greek Week, embodying the unity and strength of the Greek community as a whole, it is possible to understand how life as a brother or sister can make for an unparalleled college experience. Being in a fraternity has changed my college experience in more ways than one, said Rob Goldring, a sophomore in Beta Theta Pi. As society and standards have changed with the decades, so have sororities and fraternities; however, the values and customs held at the core of Greek tradition continue to strive. Nowadays, contemporary conceptions of reality replace notions of antiquity. titts interesting to see how fraternities have evolved with the times while keeping the same fundamental values alive, said John Lee, a senior in Sigma Chi. in the first 80 years of University history, Greek life has made a permanent mark on the spirit of the student body. With each year, it continues to add to its proud past while continuing toward an even prouder future. i KAP us i 16' i SIGM ,. ,, , ,- PA KAPPA GAMMA A CHI a gitigii a, , M i' igi xjreea Wm g Weeks 'jl L.

CHANNING MULLERX lBiS 3 Getting involved on campus is a top priority for many and one of the easiest ways to do that is by going Greek. Unlike fraternity recruitment, sororities use a very structured system of rushing and selection. The first night of recruitment is Open House where girls get a chance to go into each suite, talk to the sisters and learn a little bit about each organization. A mutual selection format, women rank their top five sororities at the end of Open House. On the second night, they attend Philanthropy parties at the houses who invite them back. During this round of parties, each sorority has a chance to explain a bit about its chapter philanthropy, all the while meeting new sisters. t'l think its important to be involved and raise awareness for issues not just nationally but internationally, and Greek life is a great way to do that, especially since UM is a very service-oriented campus, said Senior TAP? parties comes Invitational night. On this night, rushee return to three houses, at which sororities perform a skit At the end of the last party, the girls once again rank the final sororities the: attended. The final day of recruitmen is Preference. At these parties, both sisters and rushees get one final chant to talk with one another before the final selection. Each sorority has a special ceremony they do to showcase what their chapt is all about. til really liked preference night. Everyoni is so dressed up and the ceremonies are really, reallj special, said Sophomore Katie Collins, a pledge at Zeta Tau Alpha. After a long week of recruitment, Bid Day finall: arrives. Rushees anxiously await for their bid and prepare for the revealing, which is often charged anc emotional. Recruitment is just the start of sorority life but is exciting for both the rushees and standing members of the seven sororities. Stephanie Shulder, a sister at Kappa Kappa Gamma.

The Illege dream. The way of life ost desired. Well, its a common Ilief that no good thing comes sy. So any man wanting to join on this fraternal way of life JSt go through the recruitment ocess. Many find it to be a ressful time, but most endure e challenges in knowledge of a good that awaits at the end of ch recruitment. aternity recruitment is an iormal process by which ospective members seek to d a place within a fraternity d hopefully get a bid. Meeting 3 brothers of a fraternity d getting to know what the ternity stands for are the Iin goals of the process. At a same time, the brothers thin a fraternity size up rushes, termining their compatibility :hin the fraternity and asset the chapter. III met some of acoolest guys during rush. I ad that they had been through IHI '0 II'IN BY ALEXANDRA VASQUEZI IIJIC CI AFLI: what I was going through and that they had the experience to help me whenever I need it, said Freshman Eric Pruitt, a pledge at Phi Delta Theta. Most would agree that a couple weeks of recruitment is a small price to pay for a chance to live a life of brotherhood. As bid day arrives, bids are extended and accepted, and the pledging process begins, most rushes find that they have achieved their goal of finding the perfect fraternity and most brothers are equally as pleased to have recruited such promising men to be their future brothers. Sophomore Scott Eisenberg, a brother of Sigma Chi said, IIMeeting all of the rushes was a lot of fun, although trying to determine whether or not I could see them as a brother in my fraternity was hard. In the end, I feel like we have the best pledges possible and that they will be able to contribute a lot to the brotherhood we as a fraternity love so much.

SORORITIES Alpha Delta Pi W CANDACE HOWZE WHAT DOES ALPHA DELTA Pl MEAN TO YOU? Most people who join a sorority list sisterhood and friendship as two of their main reasons for joining. In Alpha Delta Pi, women find this sisterhood in the highest degree. Being an ADPi means so much more than letters on a shirt- it is the bond that unites sisters for life. WHAT DIFFERENTIATES ALPHA DELTA PI FROM OTHER SORORITIES? In only its third year on campus, Alpha Delta Pi has achieved more than expected, including highest Panhellenic GPA, Panhellenic Intramural cup, and placed second in Greek Week its second year on campus. ADPi upholds the tenets of Greek life at an unsurpassed level and with each pledge class the Chapter continues to evolve into a stronger and more renowned sorority. WHAT IS THE CHAPTER PHILANTHROPY? Alpha Delta Pi makes heavy contributions to its philanthropy, the Ronald McDonald House. With its annual Tennis Tournament, ADPi is able to contribute not only thousands of dollars to RMH, but also the love and care that is a vital supplement to such families in need.

Its true that the more you put into the sorority, the more you get out. The more I participate in Zeta, the happier I am and the more I enjoy life here at the U. I think being in an organization like this really helps you grow as a person and gives you a sense of self, and I donit know where I would be if I never became a Zeta. WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD OF ZTA? Our girls always strive to achieve the most that we can, even if it means juggling multiple overlapping events. I love the fact that we can raise over $30,000 for our philanthropy while competing in a fraternityis philanthropy simultaneously. Our presence like this on campus makes me so proud of Zeta. WHAT IS THE ZTA PHILANTHROPY AND WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE? Every spring semester we run a fashion show that we've spent a year preparing for. Each member works toward getting donations, and when the day finally arrives we get to strut down the runway in gracioust donated clothes from fashionable stores around Miami. Ith a fun event for all who participate and attend, and on top of that we raise a remarkable amount of money: over $50,000 in the past two years.

When I first came to Miami I had no intention of joining a fraternity, but when I met the brothers and learned what SAE was about, I knew it was the right decision. Last year, SAE received the Outstanding Chapter Award from the University as well as the Zeai award, which is awarded to the most outstanding Chapter in the nation. That is a pretty amazing accomplishment, especially since SAE was just chartered in 2004. WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN OUT OF BEING IN SAE? In SAE, there are so many different things you have the opportunity to do, such as meet new people, help in the community, and participate in different events. I have 60 great brothers I can look to if I need anything, whether its help on homework or landing a good job when I graduate. WHAT IS YOUR CHAPTER PHILANTHROPY? Our philanthropy is the Childrenis Miracle Network. We raise money for it through Paddy Murphy Week in which sororities participate in different activities such as coin wars, a Lion Hunt, the Miss Minerva contest, a brother auction, and powder puff football. We also participate in an AIDS Walk and Relay for Life, and all funds raised through these projects go to the Childrenis Miracle Network.

We see ourselves as individuals that also belong selflessly to an organization that represents ideals greater than what any one person can achieve. We are not a stereotypical organization. We have diversity in our entire chapter from race, to religion, to political orientation, yet we all stand for the same thing. We are athletes, scholars, socialites, and countless other things, and together we make this organization what it is. WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN OUT OF BEING A SAMMY? Being a Sammy has been the most rewarding experience of my life. I have gained friends, best friends, and people that I am proud to call my brothers. I am very grateful for my experiences as a brother of Sigma Alpha Mu. WHAT IS YOUR CHAPTER PHILANTHROPY? Their main philanthropy is SAM Slam, and the funds raised from this event are donated to help combat Alzheimerts disease.

Being a part of my organization means a tremendous amount to me. There is a reason why our fraternity brothers say Omega Psi Phi til the day I die, because it is a lifetime commitment. It hoids a special place in my heart because it is a tremendous honor to be a part of an organization such as this one that has done so much over the years and continues to strive for excellence. WHAT HAS YOUR ORGANIZATION DONE THAT MAKES YOU PROUD? Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. has done so much in its history. What makes me proud is our commitment to uplifting the community. We provide scholarships for high school graduates to help further their education. We donate every year to the United Negro College Fund. We have blood drives in honor of our belated brother Charles R. Drew and Voter Registrations with presidential candidate Jesse Jackson, also a brother of the Fraternity. We also mentor the youth in the community to help them learn how to be better men in society and brighten their future to give them hope. HOW HAS THAT INVESTMENT PLAYED OUT FOR YOU? WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN OUT OF IT? I dont want people to think that you join a fraternity to benefit from it. When you become a part of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. it is understood that you want to work for the fraternity, hot that the fraternity will work for you. However upon doing the work you committed yourself to doing to you do make lasting friendships that can turn out to benefit you in your careemife goals. As for me I have made some of those friendships and have benefited by getting an internship in my major field at the local airport so it is possible to reap benefits from a life of fraternity.

Just this year, we hosted the Second Annual Walk for Multiple Myelomall, begun by chapter sister Denise Vidot last year and the first walk of its kind in the state of Florida. After a successful first year where $4000 was raised, the goals were set higher, and this year we were able to raise $12, 000 for the International Myeloma Foundation. Further, this semester we implemented the tUniversal Woman Mentorship Program, where sisters will be paired with high school females struggling to find their path in life. The mentorship program, geared not only toward helping young ladies academically but also with their personal development, is a new venture in which we hope to achieve lasting relationships and success stories.

At the Chapter level, I am sure the only reason I can succeed and do what I do here at UM is because of my sisters. They are there not just with moral support, but with comic relieic and objective criticism, providing a balance in my life and many shoulders to lean on. They are my lifeline. It is impossible to explain the bond we share, but it is very easy to see. Further, LTA has provided me with an incredible network, within the sisterhood but also within the Latino and minority- Greek community. At every seminar I have attended, internship l have taken, or trip I have made, there have been fellow minority Greeks that have made my life that much easier.

Lambda Theta Phi is a fraternity that is rooted in Latino tradition and cultivates a strong brotherhood among all cultures. One of the strongest bonds that a Latino male shares is that of his family, and Lambda Theta Phi is just that. This fraternity is not about being of a certain race, but is about the values that the Latino culture holds. It is a family of college males who share the same ideals set forth by the i4 founding fathers. It is a brotherhood that lasts well beyond college years and remains a part of our lives until the end. It is best described in our call ttLAAAAAMBDA! Till the day we dieiii What has your organization done that makes you proud? 2006 showed us a number of things to be proud of.

UM Greek Honor Societies recognize excellence and further development in Greek leaders STORY BY ALEXANDRA VASGUEZHBIS STAFF To be a member of one of the honor societies signifies the achievement of the highest qualities strived for within the Greek community. Leadership, academic excellence, character, and involvement are the cornerstones of Greek life and their practice at the highest level is what Greek Honor Societies seek to maintain. The top tiers of Greeks within the community are often initiated into one of the honor societies- Rho Lambda, Gamma Sigma Alpha, and Order of Omega- in a commitment to further excellence and development. Each organization has a minimum grade point average requirement and its membership is limited to upperclassmen. The possibilities and opportunities that come with being a part of these organizations are endless. Although not everyone gets chosen, it is very simple to apply. To become a part of one of these organizations, prospective members need only submit an application and resume. Current members then review the applications and select the men and women that best qualify. After selection, the current members go to the different organizational meetings and 11tap the selectees into their bond. ltThese students deserve to be recognized by the people that they work with the mostf said Judson Dry, President of the Order of Omega chapter. We want to encourage more Greek members to step up and become leaders. The Honor societies periodically tap new members, always looking for the next crop of the best and brightest. We get better women with greater accomplishments, honors, and foundations of leadership every year, said Anya Edun, senior and president of the Rho Lambda Honor Society. Edun, who is the president of Sigma Lambda Gamma in the Latino Greek Council, is the first minority president ever elected to head Rho Lambda at the University of Miami. Judson agreed. If we can get members from a variety of different organizations that do a lot of different things, we can combine all of our strengths to better our Greek community, our school community, and the greater Miami community. These students deserve to be recognized by the people i that they work with the most... We want to encourage more i Greek members to step up and become leaders. 1 -Judson Dry A E3 kareeks WGREEKS Si SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES GET THEIR A PARTY ON AT SOCIALS 8t MIXERS i STORY BY ALEXANDRA VASQUEZiIBiS STAFF PHOTO COURTESY OF KORISSA LEPORE SMILE!

From registered parties to mixers, formais to crush parties, its hard to complain about a lack of a social life within the Greek community on campus. With the opportunity to party comes the opportunity to be creative. Generally, socials have themes to which brothers and sisters adhere in dress, attitude, and decoration. For example, its not uncommon to find a Wild Wild West Party, characterized by bales of hay on the dance floor and plenty of cowboy boots worn by the dancers, or to attend a Miami Vice mixer, reminiscent of the 80s and its plastic attire. til love fashion and clothes and jewelry? said sophomore Kelsey Karp of Alpha Delta Pi.

Beyond the sisterhood and brotherhood found within these organizations, Greeks recognize the importance of being involved and giving back to the community. Greeks know how to balance their daily lives with other student groups, jobs and leadership positions within the University. ltls important to get involved on campus, said sophomore Emily McCollum of Delta Delta Delta. It shows that you care not only about your sorority or fraternity, but also that you love this campus? Each fraternity and sorority has a chapter philanthropy for which they raise money and support throughout the year. Their annual events, which often involve competition in a Greek-wide effort, usually raise thousands of dollars and immeasurable support for their causes. in addition to fundraisers in support of their chapter philanthropy, Greeks are involved with other campus activities such as FuhDay, an annual event organized by the Butler Center for Service and Leadership in an effort to provide a clay of entertainment for the communityls mentally handicapped citizens. Additionally, leaders within Miamils Greek community become involved with Pier 21 and GAMMA to promote healthy lifestyles. Finding time to do all of this is difficult, yet Greeks learn to balance their time in order to do well in school and be leaders on campus. ltis important to be balanced, said sophomore Clark Rinehart of Beta Theta Pi. liBeihg involved in leadership on campus is great and fun, but without balance you can get burnt out. information for Greek Earth Day Pullout: in an effort to increase Greek service, Alpha Delta Piis Yadira Garcia and Sigma Alpha Epsilonls Evan Gilead co-founded Greek Earth Day.

The main focus of Greek Week is to give back to the community and promote philanthropic efforts within Greek life. Events such as Coin Wars, in which each organization collects as many coins as possible, and Jail and Bail, in which administrators and students are bailed out of jail, are created with the intention to raise money for its chosen foundation: United Cerebral Palsy of South Florida. Its good to know that as Greeks we can have a fun and friendly competition that also works towards a great cause, said Carrie Hanson, a freshman in Alpha Delta Pi. ttltts important to remind people that Greeks have an active role in the community? Another way in which Greeks . give back is through the Blood Drive in which hundreds of students manage to donate blood in order to alleviate blood bank shortages. By using points in a competition as incentive for the blood drive, we are able tt collect a lot more blood from within the Greek community, said Jaimee Spector, a sophomore in Sigma Delta Tan Other Greek Week events include the Greek God and Goddess Pageant, in which one member of each organization competes for thi title by showcasing his or her talent, and an Olympic Day, ir which teams contend for the gold in athletic competition. Greek Week is always one of the most exciting weeks of th year in the Greek community, said Kyle Mann, a junior in Phi Delta Theta. ttThe different events throughout the week donit allow for one second of boredom while we raise money. As any Greek can testify, Gree Week is an important event of raising money for charity, competition amongst fellow Greeks, and great memories. TQP SORORiTiES 1. Delta Phi Epsilon 2. Delta Gamma 3.
