Youire forced to live with and get along with 40 guys youive never met before. I think this is what develops the friendships that last throughout our college careers. The towers also allowed me to get to know the story behind these people, since the majority of them are not anything like my friends from home. On a closer level, you have one roommate in close quarters, which can mean either a close friendship or a long year. I r?

PHOTO GENEVIEVESTACK One word comes to mind when thinking of $g . y . . y move-in day: mess. Think about when you first arrive - can you even move around in your dorm room? The piles of bags, clothes and boxes trap you in a corner and make you ask, What now? I never thought Id see my room come together? sophomore Sarah Pilchick said. I mean, walking into my room and seeing just a mattress without a frame didnit inspire a lot of confidence. its a miracle. With the help of friends and family, unpacking begins and the real moving in happens. Mom folds clothes; Dad puts together the storage cubes. You give orders on how shirts should be folded and where the storage boxes go, while simultaneously trying to figure out where the parties are after Mom and Dad finally leave. After what seems like days, everything is finally done; boxes are broken down and bags are recycled. What was once a disaster becomes something very special: home away from home. I put up pictures that show things itm interested in to make me feel more at home, sophomore Katie Bocksel said. I also put up pictures of my family and friends?

I can still cleary remember the welcome party at Rathskeller. At that time, I had just arrived in the United States for no more than a week and hardly knew anyone. I was invited to the party, which was held by GSA. Their warm welcome made me feel comfortable about this foreign place. I met my classmates, professors and other international students there. After the party at the Rat, the most exciting part of the week of orientation was the party at President Donna Shalalals house. Before I came, I had heard about this annual event. However, I was still astonished by her house and the party. There were so many surprises on that day. I didnt expect that her house could contain over 1000 people. Its just too large. There were a ton of food and drinks and the cheer squad put on shows. My friends and I enjoyed the ice cream and the music. We sat along the inlet eating, chatting and looking forward to our future. Everything was new to me, and I was well- prepared to start my new life here. In my home country, China, we dont have many activities before the semester starts. Usually, we only have some introduction lectures. So the orientation experience at UM was special and inspiring. Although there are cultural differences, people are so friendly, which made me love this university at first sight. 021 Graduate School Orientation ' BI-WEEKLY BLOWOUTS Every Tuesday and Thursday, UM students get out. their buttonadowns and high heels for a fun night out, With drinks flowing and music pounding, you cant go wrong with a night out in the Grove.

The Federation noted that a number of major colleges have the initials UM. Miami designer Bill Bodenheimer suggested the U idea, which lent itself to catchy slogans like U gotta believe and nU is great.

New logo solidifiespower and strength of the TUii WO R DS KRYSTAL GREEN P H OTO l L LU ST R AT I O N SHAYNA BLUMENTHAL When asked what visual symbol most represents our school, most will respond with the orange-and-green split-U symbol, a logo commonly associated with the spirit and sports of the school. In an effort to unite the university with its many colleges and centers, the Office of Communication and Marketing put into effect a new logo. The University of Miami's visual identity handbook says it best: tilt is one of the most recognizable collegiate marks nationally, and perhaps the most ubiquitous graphic symbol throughout South Florida? The previous logo, established in the early 19805, was finally put to rest in the same year UM took its seat as one of the leading research universities in the country. It became important to display a unified identity for effective marketing and communication. The split-U has carried the weight of the universityls identity for some time and establishing it at the forefront of the universityls name strengthens the schools recognition. Junior Sandy Joseph agreed with these remarks as she expressed her own feelings on the new logo. I like that the lUl has been added into the logo, she said. It is definitely the symbol that comes to mind when someone mentions the University of Miami. I think the logo is more lighthearted than the previous one, junior Crystal Jones said. ltTo me, its not as serious and even seems more welcoming. Not all students agree with the logo change. llWhat l dont agree with is that student organizations cannot use the UT on their shirts or promotion materials, senior Jaife Calil said. Calil feels that student organizations are proud of the lUl and should be allowed to show their spirit through their organization. Though it sparked controversy among student organizations in the fall, junior transfer student Tranquilla Golden-Taylor summed up the intended purpose of the logo change: It represents the school: united? BLEEDING ORANGE AND GREEN Foam hands to represent the MU are common icons at any Hurricanes football game.

PHOTO GENEVIEVESTACK SMALL CHANGES BIIMPACT Lionel Moise discusses subtle changes enacted during his term as student body president WO R DS TORY GILLIAM u. Few words have meant more in recent years than the word change. Change was a major part of President Barack Obamais platform and made The New York Times list of The Buzzwords of 2008. On a local scale, change has happened in ways that may not have even been noticed. Yet, sometimes little things that go unnoticed have the largest impact. Due to the closing of the Apartment Area, the Department of Residence Halls enacted a lottery for housing starting with the fall semester of 2010. Current residents were required to opt-in and if the University did not have enough housing to accommodate those who opted-in, there would be a random drawing. Due to a glitch in the system, however, some people woke up to find that they did not have housing after seeing that they did at midnight on March 1. Outraged students started a Facebook group, which allowed them to share views and express their feelings directly to administrators who viewed the group. In his State of the U address, Student Government President Lionel Moise recapped his term as president and spoke about the changes that he has affected. First and most popular with his constituents was his bringing back the ibis Ride shuttle to Coconut Grove. The canceled shuttle was a point of much contention among the student body, so Moise and his team went to work quickly and successfully fought to have it reinstated. Other additions to transportation included the monthly Key Biscayne beach shuttle and the return of the holiday break airport shuttles, which Moise described as nespecially touching because of the economic crisis. Another commitment that Moise stayed true to during his term was his environmentally conscious platform, including putting blue lids on recycling cans to make them more obvious. The removal of trays in the dining halls was controversial at first. Although we have received some complaints Itm pleased to announce this program has saved over 46 tons of waste, Moise said. He and his team also extended library hours to 247 the week before final exams, enabled UPrint dollars to carry over for an entire academic year, had the bookstore offer discounts before sporting events and added a printer to the UC computer lab. Recapping his policies at the State of the U, Moise said, Today solidifies that the year is almost over; my college career is almost over, but its been a great and amazing experience.

Am A AM u MAAJA A AA MA, A A NW A W A Tales of strife and success from the campusparking lots INFO COMPILED KATYPATAO PHOTO RACHEY EWY Whether in New York City or downtown Miami, parking is a hassle everywhere; parking on campus is no exception. In order to ensure a parking space by the School of Communication and Memorial Building, commuters arrive early in the morning. Any time past 11:30 and there will not be a spot. Not only do drivers need to worry about getting a spot, but also, they should hope that the next commuter looking for a tight spot doesnlt hit, scratch or destroy their car. If 11:30 seems early, then give up thoughts of parking in a garage, as Pavia fills its four floors before 10:30. Because parking is such a source of stress, commuting students must arrange their class schedule to cater to the early mornings fighting campus traffic. What a pain! I paid $455 for a parking permit, spent 15 minutes driving around campus looking for a spot and ended up having to pay for a parking meter in order to go to class. Thanks, UM. Chelsea Matiash, sen I' or I only park in the communication school lot. Whatls really annoying is when people park over the line so its like therels a spot, but therels not a spot. Stefanie Schartel, sen I' or I've witnessed people back up into other cars and drive away. One time I got the license plate number and left it on the persons car who was all messed up. Ive had two hit and runs and know how annoying it is to have your insurance go up because of some unknown person. Diana Alvarez, junior Since I started school last semester, live been getting there every day by 8 am. - even if i didnt have a class until11 a.m. Might sound crazy, but that's the only surefire way to avoid driving around for 40 minutes looking for a space. Kathleen Murphy, freshman People who commute already know the traffic patterns. Its like welre migratory birds, and we know not to get to school after a certain time. This means days and schedules have to be planned accordingly. Pola Bunster, sophomore One day when I came back to my car I saw that the car beside my driver's seat door parked an inch away. In order to get in I had to crawl in from the passenger seat. People need to learn how to park. Alexandra Hurtado, freshman Only a Mini Cooper can comfortably fit in the spots that are painted. They are the exact size of your car, leaving you no room to open a door to get out, especially if the idiot next to you didnt park perfectly within the lines. Caitlin Marina, sophomore I think its ridiculous that people with discount parking passes have to park so far away just because were not in the same financial position as other students. 3 Kenneth Garcia,junz'or University Village kids get shorted since we can t park on campus during the day without being ticketed - and they ticket like its going out of style- even if you have a bunch of stuff that would be unrealistic to carry, regardless of how close UV is. If you have to be on campus all day until the shuttles stop running, its a long walk home in the dark.

Tailgating is a time-honored college tradition and an integral part of the fall semester that demands grilling, drinking games and dancing. Land Shark Stadium opens its gates four hours before each football game and tailgaters immediately pour in. We tailgated earlier at the ESAEJ house and then took the bus, junior Michael Eisenstein said. Tailgating can easily occupy the entire day, no matter if its a night game or a day game. Whether because the bus system forces students to arrive at the stadium early or because of the Hurricanes dominance at home early in the season, tailgating has become all but required for true Hurricanes. I tailgate because I'm human, Eisenstein said. Category 5 Chair Cortney Tidwell said, nIt definitely adds to the experience. I think it's important. Even at away games, students find ways to pass the tedious hours leading up to the game. Many students traveled more than seven hours to Florida State and still found a way to tailgate in Tallahassee. Some fraternities spent their time at the Greek houses of their FSU counterparts. Most students found their way to the all- Miami part of the parking lot that UM fans managed to take over. I liked not having to take a 25-minute bus since it was on campus, junior Chris Johnson said. Regardless of home or away, win or lose, students will go all out for a crazy, spirited, pre-kickoff tailgate.

Homecomingfestivities fire up freshmen as the University celebrates its most spirited week WO R D S KYLIE BANKS Amidst the tradition and ceremony during Homecoming, freshmen are often left wondering what the fuss is about. In an effort to involve more newcomers in the Homecoming Week festivities, the Homecoming Committee threw the inaugural Masquerade Ball at the Rathskeller and organized a pep rally at the HechtaStanford bridge. Thursdayts pep rally offered free pizza, beads and T-shirts at a convenient location to draw new faces. Groups from the Association of Commuter Students and Hecht sang the Alma Mater to put everyone in the Homecoming spirit. The pep rally went really well, said junior Christina Farmer, one of the Homecoming Committee Vice-Chair. The pep rally got everyone who went fired up for Homecoming, freshman Christine Francoeur said. Volunteers also gave out the schedule of Homecoming events and masks for the ball the following night. The Homecoming Committee turned the Rathskeller into a glamorous ballroom for the Masquerade Ball on Friday evening. Though the process of turning the Rat into a ballroom took quite some time, it set the scene. The lighting and the decorations made the event perfect, freshman Vanessa Baldos said. Some freshmen came in semi-formal attire, while others donned Halloween costumes or created their own outfits. I went out to Michaels and bought glitter and some other decorations to make my own unique mask, said freshman Abigail Blumenfeld, who wore a floor- length dress to the event. Early in the night, most people stood along the wall or gobbled up the mini chicken fingers set up around the dance floor. Later on, more people - and more costumes - brought the ball to full swing. Though the influx of people made the party more exciting, the music left much to be desired. The music could have had more variety, but overall I had a fun time, freshman Lornalyn Castillo said. The ball died down around 1 am, an hour before its official end time. However, not everyone was disappointed by the short-Iived ball, including freshman Matt Kyprie, one of the few partygoers sans mask or costume. ttl enjoyed the ball because I got to practice my Single Ladies' dance, he said.

Though many would argue that Americans have strayed from tradition, as the family that consisted of a mother, father and 2.5 kids is no longer the staple of US. suburbs, but people like senior, Melanie Blanche can tell you that just because her tradition may not fit the norm, does not mean that it is any less meaningful or without the spirit of giving. A ciassic Thanksgiving Day in the Blanche household in Port Charlotte, Fla. begins with a trip to the local homeless sheiter to serve breakfast. Her mother made this a tradition for her and her two sisters long ago. She always thought we should give back to others on the day we give thanks, said Blanche. Upon return home, the girls settle on their couch to watch the entire Kennel Club dog show. With the hustle and bustle of the everyday, for Blanche and her sisters, who all attend different universities, it is nice to just sit and be together for a while. Then it is time to cook. The Blancheis have what Melanie refers to as a really, really big Thanksgiving? It is not the typical setting, with immediate family members oniy, but friends and neighbors come by as well. This year Blanche took her friend, senior Emily Campo, home with her for the holiday festivities. Since I live 3000 miles from home, i dont go home for Thanksgiving. it was great to have a home-cooked meal? said Campo, It was nice to be welcomed in to a home and have it feel as though it was my family. Once dinner is over, Blanche and her family do something that many would not consider traditional but that is so common now it might as well be; they shop. At 9 pm. Blanche and Campo hopped in to the Blanche family truck and drove an hour and fifteen minutes to the outlet malls. Upon arrival at 10:15 pm. they made a run for the Coach store and parked themselves just outside. i am all for the hunt. i have to get the sale, said Blanche.

However, during an unusually cold and snow- filled winter across the county, some escaped to warmer destinations while others enjoyed snowball fights and hot cocoa, even in Florida. USA Today reported that as of Feb. 12, 49 states had received snowfall with only Hawaii keeping the count from going to 50. With temperatures dipping well below 40 degrees in Florida, the spring semester began with many wrapped up in jackets, scarves, leggings and hats, including people who had just returned from much colder places. i Escaping the cold weather, senior Nicole Marko took an exciting and exotic trip to Thailand during her break.

Over winter break, many students head home to celebrate the holidays. No matter where they are around the world, whether with family or friends, there is always some kind of celebration going down at midnight. Those from Miami avoid crowded plane flights, train or car rides and celebrate their New Years Eve in sunny Florida. Junior Daniella Valencia spent her New Years Eve partying at the W Hotel in Fort Lauderdale. It was very luxurious, she said. Matt DeVivo, junior, went home to New York for the holiday. til cant see myself celebrating in 80 degree weather, he said. Once home, there is a divide between spending time with family or with friends on New Years Eve. Junior Brendan Cassidy, I usually go out to eat earlier in the day with family and go out to party with friends later. This is a common compromise to experience the best of both worlds. Once the night begins there is an awaited hype for the stroke of twelve. When midnight arrives there are shots to be taken and kisses and hugs to be given. Amanda Hochberg, junior, said, We have a family ritual to call each other at midnight. Junior Rachel Hartman spends her time with family until midnight, then meets up with friends afterward. We all celebrate New Years Eve in different places and with different people but most agree that champagne, confetti, a resolution and a kiss at midnight are among the essentials for to start the new year in style. -I locals gat - M ' ATOASTTO Y0 , h delicious foo , ..nd plent oftjri w ispeiiteiwme last few minutes of 200.? a e welcoming a whole new decat ANEWOUTLOOK Senior Jenna Farmer looks forward to the new year through her festive party glasses.

Countries around the world took action immediately, raising money and mobilizing medical professionals to help the victims. However, since Haitils communication systems were severely damaged, it was difficult at first to get relief into the impoverished country. The Dominican Republic was the first country to begin aiding Haiti, sending aid across the border the two nations share. Two days later, more than 20 countries sent military personnel to help. Out of all of them, the United States, the Dominican Republic and Canada sent the most people and supplies. Because of Haiti's small size seIf-recovery would have been difficult since most goods in Haiti are imported. While other countries currently have their own economic issues, support and donations helped Haiti improve conditions after the earthquake. I think its most important to make sure they have a clean water supply, ample resources for food and begin reconstruction of damaged buildings and homes? junior Cassie Glenn said. The Hope for Haiti Nowtl telethon, organized by George Clooney and Wyclef Jean, used pop culture to help the relief effort. Over 100 celebrities signed up to help raise money and bring more awareness to the major tragedy. With alternating performances from New York, Los Angeles and London interspersed with celebrity speeches and montages, the telethon aired commercial-free across all major television networks. All the money raised was divided equally between the major earthquake relief groups: Oxfam America, Partners in Health, Red Cross, UNICEF and Wyclefls Ye'le Haiti Foundation. The event raised over $58 million. 1 think it has been a great effort because people listen to celebrities more because they are out there in the public and are a lot of peoples role modelsf senior Terri Hornstein said. nOn top of them giving back themselves INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS Since so many Haitians were displaced, their only hope of shelter was to create their own.

The Rebuilding and Embracing Lives Interrupted by Earth's Forces Foundation raised about $1.5 million in medical supplies and over $120,000 in donations to help one of the local orphanages. RELIEF sent over 120 volunteers to hand out supplies and help the children. More than 30 of the volunteers were University of Miami alumni and current students. The trip led to CBS sponsoring the orphanage and volunteers continuing to go back to further rebuild. The immediate response for relief efforts showed the world's compassion in a time of crisis for the island nation. Though the damage has been done, with the help of celebrities and relief organizations, the world has come together to aid Haiti in taking steps toward recovery and toward becoming an even more developed nation than it once was.

Even if not every musician is a current student, Frost seems to be the epicenter of musical talent in Miami. It harbors musicians and refines the bands theylre associated with. No one babies you at Frost, said Chad Bernstein, a jazz performance graduate student and trombonist for the Spam Allstars. It is a very realistic situation to how playing in Miami is. It is difficult, but if you are creative, then you can succeed? Here are some bands with a UM connection. .m wi lu BECKHAM COUNTY TRAINWRECK This five-piece formed in 2008 boasts a full lineup of UM alumni: Nick Albury, Rob Faulstich, Karl Fagerstrom, Ethan Cohen and Kyle Crossland. With Led Zepplin and The Allman Brothers Band as some of its influences, the band performs a mix of jazz, alternative and metal. JAHFE Zach Morillo, Hunter Parmentier and Will Mills met in Frost and make up the rhythm section of this ll-piece reggae group. Formed five years ago by co-founders Esther Fortune and Sasha Sanon, Jahfe holds strong to its Haitian roots, naming Bob Marley, Midnite and King Tubby as influences, THESPAMALLSTARS Chad Bernstein, Steve Welsh and Adam Zimmon are all UM graduates discovered by frontman Andrew Yeomanson at different times throughout the band's iS-year existence, Yeomanson has created what Bernstein calls a Cuban jam session? which has a big-band sound infused with funk, latin and electronic elements. VANtGLORIA This five-piece band is also a Frost powerhouse, with all its members graduating between 2006 and 2008.

This rhythm, determined by the different cultures, different people and general life, blend to form a melting pot. Here in Miami, the rhythm is fast-paced for the city life and classic, with a hint of tropical flair, for the arts and diverse population. ltls this mix that allows Miami to be the backdrop for countless music festivals. The Coral Gables campus hosts Festival Miami, an annual month-long concert series that brings a variety of artists across the genres of classical, jazz and latin music. The final concert of the series featured jazz great John Clayton with UMls Concert Jazz Band and Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra. Clayton, who wrote the scores for the Henry Mancini lnstitutels pieces for the concert, took advantage of a break to praise the students he had rehearsed with. They'd worked so hard on our music, he said. It was really a relief for us to be able to talk on Ea more advancedJ level? As for the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra, violins have never rocked so hard. The second half of Friday nights performance was a fusion of classical and jazz, with a mood best described by the title of Claytonls second piece for the group: Jubilation Celebration. Months later, Ultra Music Festival takes over Bicentennial Park as one of the year's most anticipated events. As the worlds largest outdoor electronic music festival with over 70,000 attendees raving, jamming and partaking in an array of illicit substances, Ultra is all its name suggests. Headliners were David Guetta, Tiesto, DeadmauS and Passion Pit. Ultra is representative in many ways of the mainstream aspects of the city itself. Miami is known for its club scene, junior Tiffany Chang said. Ultra is basically every single club in Miami thrown together for two straight days. The final major music festival in Miami is Swamp Stomp. Nestled on the banks of Key Biscayne is the Bayside Hut, which serves as the venue. Swamp Stomp features local, indie artists that bring their totally own style to mainstream music. The most interesting performer was Rachel Goodrich, a quirky Miami native, whose music is something out of a fairy tale. Her self- written and whimsical music consists of kazoo solos and accordion arias on top of her high- pitched, cartoon-like voice. Music is what moves this city, regardless of genre, Chang said. The events are centered around celebrities and artists. South Beach and downtown would be nothing without music. The tie between music and Miami is a beautiful, eccentric and symbiotic relationship. Without each other, neither would be quite the same. mmime ' m . 2mm Mai. WEEKLYJAMSESSIONUniversity of Miami-born band Beckham County Trainwreck plays during Hurricane Productions' Patio Jams.

The clicking of cameras from a slew of media outlets barely drowns out the whispers and commands of secret service officers. The long-awaited Clinton Global Initiative University had arrived. Then came a booming voice, from nowhere and everywhere at the same time, Please welcome, President William Jefferson Clinton? There was a loud sigh of exasperation as the entire crowd exhaled all at once and then, as though being pulled forward by a tide of emotion, rose to their feet to applaud the silver- haired man they had all been waiting for. President Clinton began the opening plenary session with a message of empowerment. If there are enough people committed to any one cause they can change the world, said Clinton. Throughout his opening comments, Clinton stressed the fact that to create change in the world one needs nothing more than the idea and the means to make it a reality. nlf you have the concept and the strategy we can find the money and the energy to do it? Clinton said. This is exactly what participants Jennifer Safstrom, a junior majoring in international studies, and Nawara Alawa, freshman biology major, hoped. They came up with an idea which would grant students a stipend in exchange for creating and participating in a program that provides some sort of community service. Students will be able to create their own experiences, while finding creative and concrete ways to engage in community service initiatives, said Safstrom. CGl U not only allowed students to submit proposals for service projects, but also, allowed them to attend workshops and panels to learn more about current global issues. I attended the public health workshop and this was my favorite. I want to be a doctor and this session opened my eyes to the multitude of systems that a doctor must deal with on a daily basis, said Alawa. Overall, most students just wanted to help inspire others to lend a hand in their communities; to do their part for the world. I think we all have a responsibility to help humankind. What purpose do we serve if we do not help humankind to grow past the conventional limitations? said Alawa. Over the course of the weekend President Clinton asked that students think about one key question: How do you turn good intentions into positive outcomes?

'tltts about getting to live a normal life. Hitselberger was born with cerebral palsy and has been confined to a motorized wheelchair her entire life. Hitselberger had to choose a school according to how accessible it was. She chose UM because she can explore campus and beyond. The Hurry Cane shuttles are wheelchair accessible, so shels free to shop at Sunset Place or to take the Metrorail to Dadeland Mall. Hitselberger lives in a single dorm in Mahoney with two suitemates and has an assistant that helps her get out of bed and get ready. She has a special shower in her bathroom and she opens her door with a remote that she wears on her keychain. However, not all areas of campus are easily accessible. For example, Hecht does not have handicapped-accessible showers or bathroom stalls. Chris Dittrich is also a freshman. Since spending March 2008 in a coma after a serious car accident, Dittrich has had to relearn how to talk, eat and walk. Tough times dontt last, Dittrich said. Tough people do. He switches between wheeling to class and walking. He takes the elevators to classes and works with a trainer at the gym. Miami has allowed me to work on getting back to where I was and thatls whatls most important to mefl he said. Sophomore Alex Locust also has a unique way of getting around campus. He was born with his left leg shorter than his right. He has a prosthetic leg but doesnt use it much because of the Miami heat. Usually I just get around with my crutches, but if I am running late to class or it is a nice day lill rollerblade, Locust said. I can compare using my crutches and rollerblading to skiing around campus. The Academic Resource Center gave Locust a letter at the start of the year stating he may be late to classes. He said his professors are understanding. Whether moving in a wheelchair, relearning to walk or running to class due to a late shuttle, all students get there one way or another.

Most freshmen celebrate freedom away from their parents with a night out with friends and maybe some stealthily purchased alcohol. After a few rounds of drinks someone inevitably asks the question, Where do we go tonight? And then the fateful answer: nowhere. Miami is one of the select cities that does not cater well to the under-21 crowd, leaving limited options for underage nightlife. Some underclassmen take their chances at fraternity parties and house parties, while others risk a night out by using a fake ID. So, the day a UM student turns the coveted age of 21 is arguably the most liberating day on earth. It is the day when the Grove becomes your playground; it is the day when you no longer have to pretend to be your big brother; it is the day when you walk the streets of South Beach knowing a bouncer wouldntt dare turn you away. Turning 21 is a rite of passage that should be celebrated appropriately, which is why The Ibis checked in with this years lucky bunch of legal socialites.

There are many influenza viruses. This particular respiratory tract virus just so happens to add a mix of swine to the equation. When someone dies of a typical flu strain, the media rarely mentions it. Perhaps the panic surrounding the swine flu on campus, besides the constant e-mails reminding students to get vaccinated, was that this was a new outbreak giving the media something to talk about.

I thought the common cold felt worsef' In fact, the doctor recommended to treat the swine flu like the common cold, by consuming Tamiflu and taking it easy for a while. The Student Health Service offered vaccinations in the form of a shot or a nasal spray free for students in the UC ballrooms and breezeway. Senior Tim Vothang said the only reason he decided to get vaccinated was to appease his mother. My mom called me every day to do it? he said. I'm not scared of the swine flu because I donlt get sick often. Other visible precautions included signs indicating no cough, no sneeze zones and how to properly wash your hands, as well as over 200 Purell dispensers that Business a Services acquired and installed over the ; summer. According to The Miami Hurricane, each dispenser costs about $75 to purchase and install and $11 for Unicco to refill.

Islam is very misunderstood in many places and wrongly shown in the media, Bengali said. Cru, short for Campus Crusade for Christ, is an interdenominational Christian organization. Cru is founded on the idea that the gospel changes lives, said senior Vice President Amy Fitch. Racial divides, traditional religious divides, cultural divides all break down and we can view people simply as people all in need of grace? Cru President Corey Erb, a senior, feels there is a culture of mutual respect among students regardless of their beliefs. We are free to meet and openly profess our faith, so that is all we need, he said. There is at least the freedom to discuss faith in a respectful way? Members of other religious orgs agree that discrimination is not a big issue on campus. Students are sometimes hesitant to hear of other religions, but when comfortable, I find they are welcoming to new and different ideals than they might be used to, said senior Diana Rubin, a member of UM Hillel, a Jewish community organization. Interested students have choices when it comes to which group - or groups, as it often happens - to get involved with, even within the same religion.

The newest addition to the diverse religious community is an organization named Jews and Muslims, or JAM. The group unites two religions with historical tensions. I believe dialogue is the only true way to achieve peace? said sophomore Tamzid Rahman, a JAM member. ttl think the tensions that exist between Jews and Muslims stem from ignorance, and the only way to dispel that is by getting to know each other. nDiversity is the peaceful coexistence of multiple different cultural and religious groups in an area, Bengali said. It is this religious diversity fostered on campus that will breed a generation of more tolerant and accepting individuals for the future. Religious Diversity 0.81 ...................

This scene probably isntt too different from many other organizations holiday parties, which is a large part of SpectrUMts message. SpectrUM, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender organization on campus, embraces people of every sexual orientation. The group provides outlets to socialize together without feeling out of place or uncomfortable, while also offering activism and support group branches. tThe gay community on campus strives to be involved and active, said Vincent Foster, a sophomore and SpectrUM member. Foster is a Student Government Supreme Court justice, a member of College Republicans and president of Delta Lambda Phi, a newly chartered gay- friendly Greek organization. TTOf the UM gay Spectrum hosts events to promote mutual acceptance community, a significant portion is very actively involved, he said. Thatis something unique about our campus. The attitude towards our community is very accepting. Many members, including Aaron Esman, echoed this feeling. People on campus tend to be open to a lot of things, the junior said. People here are very sexually diverse; not just in who they do, but what they do. SpectrUM commits to these sentiments during their Coming Out Week with events such as Marriage on the Rock and Drag Queen Fashion Show. Even students outside of the LGBT community recognize SpectrUMts efforts to diversify campus. I think that what SpectrUM does is a step in the right direction towards equalization for all, freshman Kristyn Greco said. To live in a world of hate is a waste of life, so students and others alike should follow in SpectrUM's footsteps, promoting equality and unity one step at a time.

The most wellaknown piece at the Lowe Art Museum is Duane Hansonls Football Player. The oldest pieces in a the Lowe collection are from the Chinese Neolithic period, dating to the 5th millennium BCE. Approximately 1,000 students visit the Lowe Art Museum each semester. WO R DS CAYLA NIMMO P H OTOS JESSICA HODDER Fine dining and art await students and the community at the LoweDown for a night of high-cultured fun every first Thursday of the month at the Lowe Art Museum. For only $10 for non-members or no cost for members, Lowe Down attendees can enjoy sushi and cocktails from local and national vendors coupled with a guest speaker to transform the night into a canlt-miss event. Before the lecture, the entire museum is open so LoweDown guests can view the new exhibits. For the event on Oct. 1, Professor Tom Lopez spoke about photography for the closing reception of the Arnold Newman photography exhibit, nThrough the Lens. Newmanls stunning exhibit hosted numerous gelatin portraits of famous artists such as Georgia OlKeeffe, Salvador Dali and Ansel Adams. lllt is so cool to walk through the rooms and get to see all these artists We read about and studied, and see how each of their unique styles and personalities shine through the image? freshman Morgan Rowland said. Each work of art reaches beyond the two-dimensional, frame-bound photograph to touch the viewer and evoke a unique feeling of unity with the artistic legends of the past and present. This event draws many art students, but is open to the public as well. My friend invited me to join her and I tagged along for the sushi, but I found the lecture interesting, freshman Anna Mak said. As partygoers snack on sushi and sip on cocktails, they mill about the labyrinth of rooms, soaking up all the art before Lopezls lecture begins. Photography is often looked over as a legitimate art form, so its nice that this event allowed more people to appreciate it and accept it as art, freshman Sneha Lalla said. Giving a brief history of the creation and development of photography as an artistic medium, Professor Lopez engaged the audience with his captivating words and accompanying slideshow, depicting the change in photography through the years. As grad student Sara Armas said, Anytime you listen to someone in your interest of art, it gives you something new to take away, whether you decide to embrace it or not.

However, audience members rarely get to see the stagehand's view of the stagehands, director and performers: the stage manager dims the lights, the director yells Places! and the stagehands pull back the curtains. The feeling of excitement and anticipation in the air is palpable, even hours before the performance. The evening starts off with rehearsal and practice of select scenes.

The evening then turns to hair and makeup, a more relaxed time for the actors. Some do their own makeup and dress themselves, while others have their makeup done for them by a professional makeup artist like senior Grace McCabe. McCabe, who also acts in Ring Theater productions, enjoys doing makeup for her fellow actors. I get to be a part of so many productions, she said. Even if llm not acting, I can help my friends look great on stage.

During the spring season of the Jerry Herman Ring Theater, which also included Almost Maine and Baby with the Bathwater, this dream became a reality for the theater department. It's an honor to work on a musical that has affected so many people in so many different ways. Its amazing the stories we have heard from the people working on the show who lived through some of these issues and knew some of these people? senior Alexa Hujik said. The students were proud to bring this scintillating and challenging musical to the community just as much as the audience wanted to see it. When you're taking on a Tony-winning musical, the stakes are always higher. RENT in particular is daunting because of the fan base being so wide and having such high expectations, senior Ken Clark said. Plays and musicals have similar building blocks but they have their differences. There is more technical preparation in a musical, and more dramatically nuanced preparation in a play. Musicals and plays both have stories to be told, and a musical sometimes uses a different avenue to tell it. I definitely think Pm going out with a bang? said Clark. The cast prepared their parts and kept their expectations at the same professional level that Ring Theater productions always have. Being part of any musical is always a special experience, but acting in a musical that won both Tony and Pulitzer is an entirely different beast. It's an actor's job to meet the level that each show requires. The satisfaction you feel when a musical has come together is the best feeling? junior Brian Detlefs said. It's a show that really excites people, senior Sarah Amengual said. That kind of energy is just so terrific to be around. The enthusiasm and devotion of everyone working both on stage and back stage resonated throughout the theatre and culminated in a production to remember. Upon finishing her last production, Amengual said, I would definitely consider RENT the highlight of my college career as a theater student?

Yet, I would be i remiss if I did not recognize that none of these i would be possible without the support of the l administration, always acting as a watchdog for students best interests. With President Shalala at the helm, deans and administrators exemplify a clear students- first approach. From consistently involving student government and other student leaders in major university decisions to protecting students, safety in and around the Miami community, there is no question that students, well-being is at the forefront. Though certain decisions may appear unpopular, like the elimination and subsequent reinstatement of the Ibis Ride or the immediate ejection of unruly students at football games, ultimately, rules and regulations come from a deep understanding of how to benefit the university. Aside from their governing duties, deans and administrators take active part in our world. Seeing an administrator walking around on campus is more like seeing an old friend than being starstruck by a Hollywood celebrity. Dr. Patricia Whitely often speaks at community service activities like Gandhi Day; Dean Sam Grogg of the School of Communication hosts open forums in Shoma Hall; President Shalala even attends special events on campus like UM Hillelis annual Shabbat with Shalala. On behalf of the student body, l would like to acknowledge and thank the deans and administrators of our esteemed university.

Canstruction was our brainchild that we came up with last year when we figured out a way to get our students and faculty to come together and contribute in a positive way to the community? said Sonia Chao, director of the Center for Urban and Community Design. The idea was that we wanted students to learn that every little bit of involvement they have in civic life makes a difference. The school collected 1,020 cans that were donated to Miamils Camillus House, which serves 2,000 meals a day to the underprivileged. Canstruction involved the School of Architecture, the College of Engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences. ttlt is our hope that every year it becomes a larger activity? Chao said, nand that the University will get more involved to grow together as a community and donate more and more cans. Eight Architects and the Biologist,u a team consisting of eight freshmen majoring in architecture and a senior biology major, built the Coliseum. We had a freshmen team table but no cans, freshman member Andrew Aquart said. We were told that we could buy cans and get back in time to build.

Students promptly learned that a project involving quickly building a permanent, practical structure is far from easy. itWe were faced with several design challenges, graduate student Melissa Harrison said, among them how to reflect certain critical design ideas such as sustainability, modularity, making a connection with the orchid baskets used to contain the orchids, as well as making a connection to the old shade houses of Miami. Participants decided to use reclaimed cypress wood to make their project environmentally friendly and also decided to build the pavilion in three pieces on campus at the School of Architecture and then transport it to the final location to be put together. The students, involvement in every detail was essential to their learning experience. The program was great for us, Harrison said. tit helped us to better understand the actual construction of a building and gave us an elevated understanding and appreciation for true craftsmanship and detailing. However, it was the freedom of choice and flexibility that the students enjoyed that made this project so valuable. Students were able to see how design ideas are turned into construction and also evaluate the soundness of their design ideas by building their project? Ceo said.

Whereas most academic programs on campus focus on one specific area, like education, marine science or music, the College of Arts and Sciences is home to a varied selection of subject areas and majors. As the largest of the colleges, Arts and Sciences allows students to concentrate on anything from art history to microbiology. Such a large array of options encourages students to pick and choose and create a custom academic track, even creating their own major. I can take classes in psychology for my major, but also take classes in philosophy or art if I want tof said freshman Jessica Atick. tlt allows me to expand my horizons and learn about all types of different areas? The variety does not keep the departments from excelling in their particular fields. By using detailed hands-on and interactive methods, classes in the sciences and arts not only help students learn the material, but also, prepare them for a future in their chosen field. Whether it's participating in a science lab by observing rocks, experimenting with chemical reactions or dancing and drawing in an art class, the creative way in which professors present the material allows for learning that goes beyond simple theoretical knowledge. We taken classes with labs and other interesting components? said Isabel Guia. I even had to interview a veteran for an English class. We also taken classes that require reading textbooks and lectures, but the variety really helps to keep my mind working and ready to take in information. It is not only the class offerings that enrich the programs and its students, but also the general university requirements that encourage students from other schools to take arts and sciences classes. Whether its through working long hours in a lab or a studio or lamenting over power point slides and chapters of reading, the College of Arts and Sciences brings undergraduates together through a common appreciation of learning in the classroom. 121 College of Arts and Sciences THEFINER THINGS r students to explore their creativity an interesting projects.

Fortunately, there are several classes offered that embrace the artist within all of us. Some of these art classes, like Modern Dance, Intro to Painting, Intro to Drawing and Theater, also offered a healthy distraction from the daily grind. Modern Dance took place at center court in the Wellness Center, where a warm and friendly environment free from hostility and stress met a class of about 25 students, many of whom were athletes. The hour-long class started off with 15 minutes of stretching and a 10-minute warm-up. ttltts different from any other class you take here, senior Savvas Pantelides said. It diversifies your day?

Paint splatters covered the floor completely and students stood at individual easels and canvases, focused intently upon their artwork. Students took this class to harbor an interest in learning the process of painting. I have always been interested in art, senior Kelsey Fabre said. I took this class because I wanted to learn different techniques? Students reviewed each others paintings once assignments were completed, learning to see through the eyes of their peers. Professor Trowbridge, who taught the course, said the class allowed students to see critically. Artists see things that most people dont, he said. Students who took drawing classes similarly felt they were therapeutic. It's really relaxing sometimes and distracts me from other classes l have, sophomore Ana Marquez said. Sometimes it's frustrating, but the end result is always amazing. The art classes offered give students the chance to dance or paint the stress away.

They speak of the real world but cant demonstrate the relationship between the two. How is a student supposed to learn, with only one point of view? Three courses in the School of Business addressed this disconnect. The freshman FIRST Step course, a requirement for all first-year students in the school, allowed them to get a taste of all the paths they could choose before making a final decision on a major. Later in their careers, marketing students could choose a Retailing or Professional Selling course where they would be assigned a project requiring them to apply what they learned in class to their shopping experiences at eight shops of their choice in Coconut Grove. The introductory FIRST Step course paired 40 teams of students with 15 Miami-area organizations in order to execute a hands-on project. This project gives freshmen a well- rounded introduction to business and the end product of the project demonstrates the fruits of diligent labor, said freshman Kyle Radin, a declared marketing major. Radin was responsible for the advertising while freshman Andryk Guerrero, a business administration major, served as the groups project manager. The group chose to work with the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida to help raise awareness for trauma-induced epilepsy by designing iPhone covers, T-shirts and pamphlets to distribute across the campus. This project gives students a sense of corporate responsibility and builds on their management and people skills, Guerrero said.

In looking at the schools overall tactic in providing these sophisticated amenities to students, one has to wonder if there isnit another motive besides comfort at play. It takes a lot to get into a place that looks like that, said marketing instructor Barbara Black, who graduated from the business school. By having an executive atmosphere in classrooms I think the business school is showing students what theylre capable of achieving, where the tools the school is giving them and all their education can lead them?

Each team's goal was to help its assigned organization with advertising issues, from improving logo design to creating newsletters. At the end of the 25-hour period, students presented the completed work to their clients. We're currently working on a web design, alumnus Khiem Nguyen said during the process. tWe sat down with the client, asked questions to better understand the project and we're developing the look and feel of the website? Not only did the event give advertising majors a chance to gain hands-on experience; they also participated in promoting the event itself before it took place. There was a website for it, a Twitter and a Facebook group, said event participant Sophia Gonzalez, a senior. Advertising students helped organize Epromotingj it.

As a junior at the National University of Singapore I felt an urge to enhance what was left of my university experience, which is what interested me in the Student Exchange Program. No country seemed larger than life like the USA. I ranked five choices for universities within the US. and UM was one of my choices. Little did I know then that had I gotten my first choice, I would be freezing to death up north. lid say being here in Miami is sheer luck. What I love most about Miami is its big city feel. Having lived in big cities like Mumbai and Singapore all my life, Miami feels like home! The freedom to just hop onto the Metrorail and head to downtown Miami a where you suddenly feel overwhelmed by the variety of people, the big fast food chains, the shopping malls, the cars - gives me a sense of familiarity. However, what sets Miami apart from other cities are the beautiful and happening beaches. Just walking up Ocean Drive, witnessing all the sights it has to offer, is something I really enjoy - besides lying on the beach, soaking up the sun. Studying abroad in Miami will show employers my eagerness to get the most from my university experience and that l enjoy understanding different cultures. We learned two important life lessons from Miami: first, that everything is possible if you really want it and work towards it and second, that there is no right or wrong when it comes to people and cultures.

With the guidance of professors, the students got to experience hydrostatic weighing firsthand. itl was little nervous but it was fun and easy to do, junior Patrick McCabe said. It's science, so its pretty straightforward. Having such labs allows the students opportunities to see what a future in Exercise Physiology might look like. Doing this major has actually made me think of pursuing this as a doctorate degree senior Natalie Sam said. However, not all students in the lab are Exercise Physiology majors. Most of us are Biology majors and a lot of us plan on going to medical school, junior Aaron Snyder said.

School of Education 1 41 Toomsmoommous l42 Academics Engineering students complete the same comprehensive project at the end of each year in order to learn the basics WO R DS KELLY BURNS P H OTO S RACHEL EWY Every year a new group of wide- eyed freshmen hoping to become future engineers enroll in the College of Engineering. At the end of their first year of courses, they engage in the engineering rite of passage: building mousetrap cars. Any engineering student remembers this traditional end to histher first year of courses, as each team competes to have its car travel the longest distance. Freshmen Laura Vogel, Yifan Zhang, Song Huang and sophomore Daniel Verna were assigned to one such group. Groups are chosen systematically with students from different engineering majors paired together, which allows each member to bring something unique to the table and teaches them to work together as a team. We never complain about the workload. Everyone contributes to the group and we unite closely, said Zhang. The first step in the process was deciding exactly how to construct the car. They researched ideas online and listened to advice from veteran engineering students to create the most effective car. One of the biggest issues in the process was deciding on which materials to use. For the body of our car, we are using balsa wood, because it is light and still sturdy, said Vogel. They also decided to use CDs for wheels, covering them in balloons to increase the grip on the floor. We are putting a cylindrical object on the rear axle to make it easier for the string to turn the axle, which also increases the distance, Vogel said. The idea was to keep it simple. This would allow the team to comply with the assignment that required that the car be created in such a way that a new one could be built to replace it after each run. This is an important final project, because it allows us to use concepts from each section of the class, and other classes, to show our cumulative understanding of engineering, said Vogel. iiFrom physics, we used concepts such as torque, friction, spring forces and rotational motion to help design a better car, said Vogel. Each student must also use their knowledge of AutoCAD, a drawing program, learned at the beginning of the course to include a computer drawing of their car and must also create a program that will compute the costs to create the car. The project is a significant, yet fun way, to concretely use the knowledge learned throughout the semester.

American Society of Civil Engineers sponsored the competition involving the concrete canoe and steel bridge in an event that brought students from across the country to showcase their work. This year the canoe design was provided, but participants had to determine the ratio of aggregates, small rocks of different sizes, water and cement poured into the mold. Students employed principles learned from classes such as CAE 320: Design of Concrete Structures, to aid them in deciding on the composition of the mold. All of this would determine how well the canoe would float. The coolest part is actually seeing if it will float, because it will be filled with EVERYDROPMATTERS Measuring the additives for the cement was a delicate process. Senior Patrick Kaimrajh checks up on the progress of Sophomore Michi Walker. PHOTO CAYLANIMMO water, too, said sophomore Ryan Goolabsingh, the internal vice president of ASCE. Other classes, like CAE 210: Mechanics of Solids I, focused more on calculating the stress that the canoe and other structures could tolerate. In these classes you are really learning how stuff breaks or how stuff fails, so you can make sure that does not happen, said senior Omar De Leon, former ASCE president. ASCE is one of the larger organizations for students to put their classroom knowledge to work, but other groups competed in high-profile competitions as well. Michael Krell and three other seniors entered the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics-sponsored DesigntBuilthly competition. Participants designed and constructed an unmanned, radio- controlled, eIectric-powered airplane in hopes of winning a $2500 first prize.

Learning at the OURC From elementary school to post-secondary, gradua te students use field trips to gain hands-on experience WO R US CRISTINA LOPEZ The days of riding a yellow school bus to the local museums or aquariums are over. Graduate students at UM get the opportunity to go a little farther to get a hands-on perspective on the topics they learn in the classroom. Candidates of the Rosentiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science traveled to Death Valley in the Mojave Desert over spring break. What business do Marine Science students have going to the hottest and driest Desert in the United States? They visited Badwater Basin in Death Valley, the lowest part of the United States at 282 feet below sea level. The valley was filled with water centuries ago and the rocks there can prove it. I think one of the most fascinating things about geology is when the evidence in the field can be used to reason out the depositional system and then generate a story of how the outcrop came to be, graduate student Amanda Oehlert said. At one point, we were debating the nature and direction of a current that was active over 600 million years ago. No one was fazed by the long hours in the sun. While in the field, I felt so excited, thatis why I didnt feel tired anymore, graduate student Yulaika Hernawati Candra said. School of Communication Multimedia Journalism graduate candidates had a more international experience with the choice of working in either Africa or Thailand. They developed their methods of visual storytelling by covering AIDS and water pollution in these Third World societies. Some of the difficulties overcome by the students included the language barrier and being seIf-sufficient. This foreign trip was tremendously helpful in telling us what teamwork is, graduate student Chi Yang said. Since no UM professors were there with us, we must rely on local partners. Thanks to them, we could immediately get to our subject. Students interviewed and gathered footage on their topics, which they edited stateside and posted on a self-made website. Graduate school can conjure up the image of a lot of books and no free time, but these fortunate few experienced the elementary- school throwback picture of field trips to accent their hard work back in the classroom.

By participating in quirky charities like ltThrill the World and offering a more traditional program called HOPE Fellows Program, UM helps law students foster community service through their curriculum. The HOPE Fellows Program, which stands for Helping Others Through Pro Bono Efforts, is an organization through which budding lawyers can use their growing expertise to broadly work for the public interest. HOPE is an independent public interest resource center, said Marni Lennon, founder of the program. The goal is to provide a way for students to put a face to the community and to develop an understanding for the opportunity they have, as lawyers-to-be, to help others. The idea was that community outreach is part of the advocacy continuum and it was important, to me, that the law school culture reflect more of a connection between what was taught and the impact of law and policy on peoples lives? Around 400 students participate in HOPE every year, and their efforts range from conducting remote research projects to working at legal service agencies. In addition to utilizing curriculum to reach out to the community, the law school engages in other pre-existing philanthropies. One such organization is Thrill the World, which raises money for United Way and Smile Train, while paying tribute to the late Michael Jackson by setting a record for the worlds largest simultaneous Thrillert dance. Claudia Osorio, Thrill the World event manager and assistant law registrar, stumbled upon the project. tll was doing a Google search for wedding videos - you know people do it at their weddings a lot - and I came across it and was like where do I sign up? she said. In order to participate, dancers could choose to attend seven rehearsals at the law school or learn the dance through a series of videos posted on YouTube. All dancers attended the final rehearsal, lasting two-and-a-half hours. Rob Collins, a second-year law student, played the role of the red jacket-wearing King of Pop. The world should come together anyway, Collins said. Why not through the music of its most iconic pop star ever?

D. student. Linker feels that she gets a valuable one-of-a-kind experience in the lab. Being in a lab provides a unique experience of playing with things people usually only get to read about, said Linker. In my experience I get to play with inducible cancer cells that I can differentiate into nerve cells. I get to see the raw data of genetic sequences, and piece together the story on my own. But each lab has its own unique purpose, and its own unique toolbox of cool things to play with. Of course, when asked what makes her skills best, Linkerls answer was very simple: Repetition, she said. In the PhD. program you should be trained to be a hands-on scientist, and not just to have the ability to recite information other people have gained in previous studies, therefore it is vital that a grad student conduct his or her own research, said Linker. In the end, these opportunities will make students more capable in their prospective fields than future practitioners from other universities.

PHOTO COURTESY LEAHPOLITO WORDS LAURA CASO Many people wonder how music students get university credit for simply practicing and performing in a choral ensemble. Contrary to popular belief, Frost School of Music students spend hours per week perfecting each piece of music and analyzing compositional styles in order to perform to their best ability. A typical choir practice begins with 15 minutes of vocal warm-ups. Warming up is essential for all singers no matter what genre, as they prepare for intense vocalization. Students receive one credit for choral ensembles, but each chorus shares the same time slot allotted to any three-credit academic class at UM. The music school enables students of all majors to participate in chorus. Sophomore and Public Relations major Leah Polito joined the Woments Chamber ensemble in order to continue exercising her passion for singing. We practice a lot? Polito said. tilt may get tiresome when the conductor focuses on every single detail, but a successful concert is truly a gratifying experience. Classes provide the tools to put on a superb performance Choral conductors instill healthy music practices in UM musicians, while preparing singers for concerts, which may prove daunting for any math or English major. Performances provide students with the tools needed to train for their music careers. Natalie Ann Cohen, a junior pursuing her music degree, is a member of Women's Choral and Collegium ensemble. Cohen believes choral ensembles provide fundamental tools needed for her career onstage as she breaks into the music industry. ti have learned how to prepare myself physically and mentally with warm- ups, said Cohen. Keeping my body healthy is important and I used these techniques when I am on the road touring and traveling? Doctoral student and conductor for the Womenis Chamber Ensemble, Beth Gibbs, demonstrates true passion for choral conducting. Many wonder why Gibbs continues to conduct year after year. The answer is simple.

Medical studies are clearly not fields for the faint of heart, as nursing students have to work on patients with very serious injuries. PHOTO COURTESY ABBYHEITNER x opportunity to learn bedside manner and basic treatment of a foreign healthcare system WOR DS KYLIE BANKS Since there are multiple nursing programs that serve the local community, five students from the School of Nursing and Health Studies chose to hop on an airplane to serve patients a little further away from Miami: in Chile. This group of eager, aspiring nurses went to Santiago, Chile to assist patients and to work with Chilean nurses so that they may gain knowledge of the health system firsthand. What makes the Chilean health system unique is that it incorporates community healthcare, a service not available in the U5. Community healthcare, a service that involves the family in the treatment and recovery of a patient. 1 6 2 Academics nWe included the family in the learning and teaching process because they have a significant role in the patients care, said Senior Ashton Paul, one of the five nursing students who participated in the hands-on experience. Though the students immersed themselves in a different form of healthcare than what they were used to, they also performed routine nursing tasks that they implemented from their curriculum in their classes. We rode in an ambulance to several patients homes daily to do wound care, tracheal suctioning and mental and physical exams, Paul said. Professor Diego De Leon supervised the trip, which he has overseen for five years. It is an important experience because it exposes students to different healthcare systems around the world. It teaches the students how to work in healthcare systems that perhaps lack some of the advantages of developed countries, De Leon said. Though the future nurses spent most of the trip with patients, they did have some time to relax. Besides valuable nursing experience, they also acquired understanding of South American culture. thne of the most memorable parts of the trip was going out to explore Santiago and Vina del Mar, Paul said. By learning about different cultures and forms of healthcare, nursing students came back with new perspectives that helped enrich their learning experience in the US.

The size of the paycheck was also an important factor when students chose their jobs. Hebel considered working on campus, but she would have had to work many more hours to make what she made at RA Sushi.

Its the semesterts hyper-stressful capstone with the end finally in sight. You know its finals week when hammocks hang between palm trees, when tents are erected as temporary study rooms, when the all too needed smiley face sculpture is installed on the green and when students in the library are equipped with pillows and blankets. Ramatoulie Njie, a sophomore biology major, took advantage of the semesterly orange and green hammocks both as respite from her time in the library and as an alternative study location. The library is my home away from home? she said. Still, her real favorite study venue is in those hammocks, though she was reticent to promote them: nthey get filled up pretty fast, so once llm there I dont leave, said Njie. Farley Saint-Louis, a freshman majoring in biology, also studied outside. I study at the Gifford Arboretum because it is so peaceful and isolated and this allows me to 1 72 Academics concentrate, said Saint-Louis, adding that he was a proponent of efforts to preserve his favorite study spot. Sophomore mathematics major Mariana Ortiz also takes to studying indoors during finals. She spent much of her finals week at her local Barnes 8l Noble, as staying on campus results in too many distractions. Santiago Forteza, a freshman studying biology, was not as easily distracted. His favorite place to study was one of the busiest places on campus: the Starbucks across from Richter. I could study anywhere: walking around campus, with the TV on, or on my treadmill even, said Forteza. If only we all were so lucky. Doing well amid the pressures of finals requires some sacrifice when it comes to rest and waistline. For Farley Saint-Louis, sleep will inevitably be lost. Ramatoulie Njie accepts that she is going to gain about three pounds by the end of finals, thanks to carb-heavy brain food. And, if even with all those trade-offs success still seems elusive, do as Mariana Ortiz. Bring a good luck charm to your final.

For those who Choose to graduate in the fall, it is a unique decision that comes with added pressure. Some choose to forgo May graduation and take on added academic endeavors, while others choose to say goodbye sooner rather than later in order to get career experience before attending graduate school. For fifth-year senior Juliana Ferro, staying an extra semester allowed her the opportunity to complete a third major in French and enjoy amenities she had previously taken for granted. Staying an extra semester was a great experience, Ferro said. I was able to finish writing my thesis and also enjoy going to the Cosford Cinema, the pool and the Rat? It also allowed her enough time to come to terms with moving on. Although I will miss being here, I am happy and ready to graduate, she said. For others, like senior Geraldine Jerez, it did not make sense to stick around and take extraneous classes. I was done with my classes and didnlt want to stay an extra semester taking slack classesf she said, adding that she will be working more hours at her current job before attending graduate school next fall. Both Ferro and Jerez agreed that despite feelings of sadness about parting from their Alma Mater, there is no regret in departing from the stress that came with it. Said Jerez, I am glad to be leaving behind all the work?

As four years of partying, studying, stressing, relaxing and evolving come to an end, many soon-to-be graduates realize there are a few essentials they have not yet taken advantage of. There are also a few activities that must be accomplished symbolically for the last time, just for the sake of Kodak moments and nostalgia. Some of the more popular on-campus spots to visit while on the brink of graduation are happy hour at the Rathskeller and the Lowedown at the Lowe Art museum.

A centuries-old metaphor for life, the intricate stone pattern is believed to quiet the mind and inspire meditation in walkers who meander in and out of the Iabyrinthts different sections on their way to its center. There are three stages when traversing the labyrinth; entering, one empties him or herself of all thought and emotion and simply lets go. Upon reaching the center, one enters a state of illumination, clarity and insight. Last, the exit provides a sense of union with the world again.

This imagery is a staple of any college graduation convocation; but when the student sauntering down the rows of seats is you, its a whole new experience, marked by a new range of opposing emotions. When I was up on that stage it was like a dream. It didnt feel real and I didnt even recall if they said my name right? said graduate Veronica Alvarez.

Those names and their jersey numbers are displayed in the football stadium during games to inspire fans and players alike. The first four inductees were the only Hurricane players to have their Jerseys retired. Their names were unveiled on November1, 1997. during the Miami vs. Arkansas State game. Bennie Blades, safety from 1984-1987, was a member of the 1987 national championship team. He was the winner of the Jim Thorpe Award in 1987 for the best defensive back in the nation. He finished his collegiate career with 19 interceptions and 286 tackles. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006. Upon receiving the Ring of Honor, Blades said, On the University of Miami football team, your teammates were like your family. Blood is thicker than anything else. There was a level of camaraderie because many of the players were coming from South Florida high schools. Steve Walsh, quarterback from 1987-1988, had a collegiate career record of 23-1. He led the Hurricanes to an undefeated season culminating in the national championship in 1987. In the following season, he passed for more than 3100 yards and 29 touchdowns. He still holds the school record for touchdown passes, 48, tied with Vinny Testaverde. When asked about playing for the NFL, Walsh said, Without a doubt, playing week in and week out showed people that l had what it takes. We were an independent football school and played all the top dogs like Notre Dame and Oklahoma. Eddie Dunn, runningback from 1935-1939, was a starting player in the initial UM vs. UF game and scored all three touchdowns in a 19-17 win. The first time Eddie touched the ball, he scored on a kickoff return; the first time he got the ball from the line of scrimmage, he scored on a rushing touchdown. He had an illustrious coaching career after playing and served as the UM football coach from 1943-1944, as baseball coach from 1946-1954 and as athletic director during World War II.

The season opener against No. 18 FSU was only a taste of the Hurricanes potential. Sophomore quarterback Jacory Harris threw for a total of 386 yards, the most of any UM player against Florida State in the schools' long rivalry. During the fourth quarter, Harris was injured on a hit, which resulted in an interception returned 31 yards for a touchdown by FSU's Markus White for a 31-24 FSU lead. Harris described the injury as ffjust a bad funny bone incident? He made it back onto the field to lead Miami to a naiI-biting 38-34 win. In game two against No. 14 Georgia Tech, Miami ended a four-game losing streak against the Yellow Jackets. After giving up 427 rush yards in 2008, the 2009 defense allowed only 95 yards on the ground. After scoring on the first three possessions, Miami led 24-3. Big win for us tonight, said Coach Randy Shannon. Big, huge win. With a final score of 33-17, the win over GT marked the first time since '03 that Miami won consecutive games against ranked opponents.

Graham considers the catch his favorite moment in his career as a student- athlete at the University of Miami. tWhen all the guys got around me, slapping me high fives and jumping on my back and all that, it was awesome, he said. Graham went on to record five touchdowns on the season, good for second-most on the team. He also provided a much-needed red- zone target at a position weakened by injuries, and helped lead his team to the Champs Sports Bowl against Wisconsin. tBeing able to go to a bowl game in my only year was a great experience, he said. It wasnt the best outcome, but we had a good year?

The sophomore admitted that his life has been anything but ordinary since he began his college career, and it comes with both positives and negatives. While he has the chance to be a role model, he sometimes has to sacrifice his private life at the same time. I used to live under the radar, but once you put on this UM jersey, it attracts a lot of attention, Harris said. The most difficult part is trying to live a normal life outside of football because everything you do seems to always be directed back to Efootballj. Although he has found the newfound fame hard to adjust to, that doesntt stop him from taking the time out to talk to fans that approach him out of uniform, even if that means being late to practice. nI met this lady and we talked for an hour, Harris said. Ifjust meeting me means that much to someone, it's important to me as well. In order to stay connected to his life outside of football, Harris calls his mother before every game - if he doesnt talk to her, he doesnt feel right. In addition, he also strives to find balance through his studies and his relationship with his teammates off the field. nPeople dontt know that IIm a very good student and I have great people skills, he said. Anytime anyone on the team has a problem they come to me to talk? Hoping to continue to build his relationships and become a better player, Harris has big dreams for the near future. I really hope to study film more and help my teammates get better in general? he said. I want to become more of a leader.

With a final 5-3 conference record, the Canes finished behind Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech in the Coastal Division, while they concluded the regular season ranked No. 15 in the Bowl Championship Series. Miami represented the Atlantic Coast Conference in the Champs Sports Bowl on Dec. 29 in Orlando. The bowl selection marked Miamits best since 2005, when they lost in the Peach Bowl to LSU. The then-ranked No. 25 Wisconsin Badgers traveled to Florida to take on the Canes in front of a mostly Miami crowd. The Canes offense couldntt get it going and UM fell to the Badgers 20-14. The win was Wisconsinis first over a ranked opponent during the 2009 season. After a disappointing bowl game in 2009, the Hurricanes returned to practice in the spring with a renewed focus.

Serving was always in the back of my head, Loessberg said. I wanted to go right out of high school but I was given the opportunity to come to UM, and I knew the military would be waiting for me after that. With a famin of Navy and Marine Corps veterans, Loessberg found it easy to relate her training in the USMC Reserve to the real world, and of course, volleyball. When I came back from recruit training, my three-a-days became the easiest thing I could ever do, and mostly because I had to train my brain to be seIf-motivated she said.

Minus the physical anguish, it is a scene that played out countless times during her brilliant career at Miami, but unfortunately for Genny Mayhew and the Miami volleyball team, too few times this season due to injury. Still, Mayhew battled her way back for the final portion of the 2009 schedule and reached the l,OOO-kill milestone. thenny is one of the most intense players that Ive ever coached, Coach Nicole Lantagne Welch said. ltShe is going to be known as one of the hardest attackers that we ever had. She can hit the crud out of the ball. She brings a lot of intensity and fire to the court, brings it out of her teammates and thatts a special quality? The team missed Mayhewts presence after her September hand injury, but she returned in enough time to help her team earn a bid to the NCAA tournament, only the programs second in its nine-year history. Mayhew vividly remembers a career day from her sophomore year. We played at Virginia and Eformer Hurricane LiberoJ ls parents were our only fans and the gym was packed? she said. tNobody thought we were going to win but us. We came in and lhad over 20 kills and over 20 digs and I just felt unstoppable and everybody else around me made me feel that way and it's probably one of my favorite matches? UM won that thriller in Virginia, a classic game in which every frame went into extra points except the clincher. As expected, Senior Day was a memorable experience for the outside hitter. When you come in as a freshman youtre like Oh my gosh four years it seems so long but I mean every senior tells every freshman every year... it goes by in a blink of an eyefl Mayhew said.

Working at ESPN is my ultimate goal, she said. thought I would be able to make some connections if I came here that would help me out later in life. Despite the teams disappointing season, Simpson figures to be a key to Miamils chances of success for the remainder of her swimming career.

With the graduation of all-ACC shooting guard Jack McClinton and rotation regulars Brian Asbury and Jimmy Graham, the torch was passed to seniors James Dews and Dwayne Collins as the only veteran leaders on the team. The predictions from critics who expected the Canes to finish last in the conference rang true. With a 6-13 record in the ACC and a 20- 13 finish overall, the Hurricanes were awarded no postseason invitation. After a torrid 15-1 start to the season, the Canes began to falter in conference play. As the season wore on, however, Haithls team began to click. Entering the ACC tournament as the last-ranked team, the Canes upset NCAA tournament-bound Wake Forest in the first round and bounced Virginia Tech in the second. Advancing as far as they ever had in the conference tournament, the Canes fell to eventual national champion Duke in a 77-74 semifinal loss. IGOTIT Center Reggie Johnson goes for the rebound against Gani Lawal of Georgia Tech. Johnson scored 10 points in the Victory, PHOTO LINDSAYBROWN New faces to the Hurricane basketball program, including freshman Durand Scott and sophomore transfer Malcolm Grant, played key roles in the teams spectacular tournament run. For his impressive first year in the ACC, Scott was awarded a spot on the all-ACC Rookie Team. Others, including redshirt freshman center Reggie Johnson and sophomore DeQuan Jones, flashed potential that has helped to inspire Canes fans for next season and beyond. Although the incredible performances from Haithls freshmen and sophomores were recurring story lines throughout the season, Collins and Dews ended their careers in similarly strong fashion. Despite the lack of a tournament berth in their final year, the two led the team on both sides of the court and provided crucial leadership for a team in need. Although the Canes had a disappointing season on the record books, they have promise for the future. In a celebration and tribute to one of the greatest Hurricanes of all time, McClinton had his 4133 raised to the rafters before a midseason battle against Duke. In the coming years, Coach Haith may see some of the youngsters on his Canes team adding their own names to the BankUnited Center rafters.

The hardest thing about being far away from home is that I miss my family, he said. nl miss being able to see my little brother, Jordan, grow up. Ryan has used his love for his family and sports to help him get through any tough times he has had, but the decision on where to attend college was something that he had to work through on his own. After considering schools where he was recruited to play basketball as well as West Coast schools such as University of Arizona and University of Washington, Ryan started researching UM. I always knew about the Ufl he said. tlYou see UM on TV all the time, especially back then with the football team. Coming from Skyway, a neighborhood in Seattle where you know everybody, Ryan made the decision to step out of his comfort zone and attend Miami. Soon after he arrived, he was able to find a family away from home in the University of Miami menls basketball team as a walk-on. After a grueling tryout process, the UM coaching staff cut the tryout list down to three candidates.

Clark said, leaning back in her chair while tugging at her jersey, marked number 14. It was in that jersey that she played in all 30 games as a freshman, starting 13 out of 14 ACC contests. She also got her first double-double against Clemson in 2006. In her final 2009-10 season, she started 30 out of the 35 games she played in. She racked up 144 rebounds and averaged over 29 minutes each game. Being able to grow in position evolved my game, so that was a really big deal? she said. Clark doesntt discredit how shels grown outside of the court, either. If she doesnlt end up playing basketball overseas, she has a backup plan to try her hand at business too, which she attributes to UM. llAnybody who goes to the University of Miami is going to be ready for the real world when they graduate, Clark said. tllve become mentally tougher playing basketball here? Although she wont be returning to the hardwood for the Canes, Clark is proud to be a part of a growing legacy at Miami. ttThe program is headed in the direction to be in the top 25 - its going to be a common thing to see Miami in the sweet 16, not just every four or five yearsf she said, confident shelll see the womenls basketball reach a new notoriety worthy of the University of Miami namesake.

PHOTO AUSTINPIKE .................................................................................................................................................................... J im Morris, Baseball WOR DS JAY MARSHBURN Longtime baseball head coach Jim Morris has constructed one of the most dominant programs in the nation. Just last season, Morris won his 700th game as UM coach. During his 17 years running the Hurricanes, no other team has gone to the College World Series more than Morris and the Canes, as they've made 11 trips in his first 16 years. Part of this success comes from the phrase Morris always uses to motivate his players. Simply put, Be your best. Do your best, whether its baseball or school, said Morris, who led UM to national championships in 1999 and 2001. llltve told them many times that at the end of the day when you,re looking in the mirror, brushing your teeth - hopefully our guys brush their teeth - you can say I did my best today. And if you do that, then you will be successful in life whether its baseball or whatever.u In Morrisl tenure, not only does he have the most College World Series appearances, but the Canes have also never gone two years in a row without making it back to Omaha. No other team in college baseball can come close to saying that. To use a March Madness parallel, it would be like a team that went to the Elite Eight at least every other year. It doesnt happen - unless youlre Jim Morris. 2088 Sports Paige Yaroshuk-Tews, Women's Tennis WO R DS PEDRO ORTIZ-MEOZ Despite her tendency to crack jokes, Coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews is a stern leader who walks around the Neill Schific Tennis Center with her commanding presence, studying her players. The Miami native, in her ninth year as head coach, has instilled her philosophies and brought life back to the womenls tennis program. She has made UM a yearly national title contender and a factory for All- Americans. But Yaroshuk-Tews doesnlt base program success on wins and losses; more important is how hard players are working. Success for me is being able to show up each day and put your best foot forward, she said. lllf they are pushing themselves they are going to be successful, as they've proven? Yaroshuk-Tews is also cautious in giving her players any praise because she feels it would bring down their guard. And this is a coach who has actually nsoftened up over the years with the birth of her children. My daughter being born helped me understand that life is much bigger than myself, said Yaroshuk-Tews. tYoulve got a little one to come home to, so all your problems stop at the door and the other things seem miniscule in comparison? Amy Deem, Track and Field and Cross Country WORDS JENNA FARMER She always had a plan. She knew exactly what she wanted and exactly how she was going to get it. But 22 years ago, a siX-week internship at University of Miami became the starter gun for Amy Deemls nationally recognized coaching career in track and field. When she heard it fire she never looked back. Ever since I was a little girl I always thought Id be a high school teacher and a coach, said Deem, who is only the sixth woman to head both menls and womenls track at a Division-l school. tThatls what I thought my life would be like. if you had told her a decade ago that shed be living in a tropical vacation spot, sheld probably tell you that you had the wrong woman. Growing up in West Virginia running track and skiing in the winter, then going to college at Ohio University didntt exactly culminate in heading to Miami for Deem. Probably the reason llm still here is because I love the University of Miami? Deem said. its a great institution EwhereJ student athletes can get a great education and great athletic experience.n Lela Cannon, ON Women's Golf WORDS JOEY HELD Looking around Lela Cannonis office, its easy to be overwhelmed. After all, the Miami golf coach has more accolades and pictures than most people can even dream of: a national championship, five state championships, dozens of plaques of All- Americans, pictures with celebrities and even a surfboard trophy from their recent win at the Edwin Wattsziawah Island Classic title in Kiawah Island, SC. Not bad for someone who used to hate the sport. I was a tennis player, said Cannon, who is in her final year at UM. I thought the dumbest thing one could do was chase a little white ball into a hole around a golf course, but I got hooked real fast, and We enjoyed it and have had a tremendous passion for the game ever since. Cannonis 27 years at UM have been filled with success. Along with all of the hardware decorating her office, she is a proud member of UMis Iron Arrow Society. Cannon can thank hard work for her good fortune. A golf coach is a 24-7 job, Cannon said. nYou recruit, schedule and budget. You do motivation, you help EplayersJ if they want help. Christie Shefchunas, Women's Swimming WO R DS CAMRON GHORBI Think of her as a modern Poseidon, minus the beard. This ruler of the water, who has wielded her power over countless pools since her youth, traveled a long way to earn her current rank. Much like the legendary sea-god, Christie Shefchunas used her own youth prowess to gain respect during a four- time AlI-American collegiate career. She has traveled her kingdom extensively; having heimed programs in Texas and Michigan, Shefchunas now finds herself calming storms that ravaged Coral Gables prior to her reign. When I first got here, there wasnt a lot of passion, she said. There was no passion to build this team into something special? What Shefchunas saw here was opportunity - a chance to mold part of a famous program by recruiting the type of athlete she once was to build an aquatic dynasty. But the coach had a tough voyage to conquer from the outset. When they cut the menis program in 2000, that took a lot of tradition away, the Pennsylvania native said. iilt's not the most glamorous sport in the world, and you just cant take breaks? But with her successes helping the ladies side, Shefchunas is on her way to finishing her own legend.

In the 2010 season, Simon led the Canes with a 21-11 overall record and an 8-2 record against ACC opponents.

Besides the challenge of moving from a small European town to a big American city, Simon says the game is different on this side of the Atlantic as well. The game style people teach in America is a lot different, he said. In America, you try to get to the net, try to come in a lot more.

Some of their out-of-practice activities include playing video games and going out to eat, according to Chin. Whether it was the camaraderie with his teammates or simply based on raw talent, Chin made a memorable debut as a Hurricane. He posted a 5-3 singles record, including winning two straight sets at the ITA Southeast Regional Championships. During the championship, he also went 2-5 in doubles play. Although heis satisfied with an impressive season, Chin stays motivated to improve personally and on a team level. I definitely want to play tournaments after college, so personal goals are a big part of my motivation - but all of us try to work as hard as we can, because we all want to win and go far in the NCAA tournament, Chin said.

It runs in my family, Rickers said. I grew up around it? The 22-year-old grew up in Ontario and transferred from Louisville to the University of Miami in 2008. The smaller school and sunshine fit her personality and was a perfect match. As a senior, Rickers has helped lead the rowing team this season. I try to have a positive attitude and try to embrace change, she said. With a new coaching staff and fresh faces, Rickers says the team has had a huge year of change that will continue next season. Another leader on the team came all the way from Sydney, Australia. Hannah McKay came to Miami from down-under because she was influenced by the weather, new culture and the allure of an exciting city. McKay saw an opportunity to work her way from the bottom up on the rowing team, which made her decide to become a Cane. The star rower describes feeling a sense of pride when people recognize the U. Its like the greatest thing ever, people just love it? said McKay. Ive never felt so compassionate about a school in my life. For McKay, Miami differs from Sydney in both culture and in her sport. She appreciates that people are more accepting of who you are in Miami. There are so many different types of people here that anything goes? she said. tln Sydney, you have to be one sort of way to be the popular kid at school; you have to have certain beliefs and stuff like that. Freedom of expression is greater over here, which I love because its one of my values. The senior also enjoys the amount of support UM provides for her sport and the amount of spirit the campus has for all athletics. Rowing in Australia is a lot more casual, she said. llEverything Eherej is more formal and therels a lot more school support as opposed to back homef Rickers says the team here in Miami has helped her personally as well. ERowingJ made me grow so much as a person, she said. She has learned to be a true team player as well as how to manage her time. Setting the bar high, she admits this year has been the toughest. After graduating, Rickers is looking forward to returning to UM as an alumna to see the teams success and how far they have come. After graduation McKay plans to go back to Australia for six months, then move back to Miami. Reflecting on her past four years, McKay says she will miss her place on the Rowing team: nlt has that sort of automatic family and connection, she said. tllll miss my friends obviously, and just in general everyone is so small and close knit on the campus. As for Rickers, she doesnlt want to leave rowing behind either, I want to be one of those old ladies in a rowing show, Rickers said.

From being home to the Players Championship at Doral to the set of Caddyshack to the thousands of golfers in their golden years, this tropical destination earns its good name. One golf story that often goes unnoticed, however, is the prowess of the womenls golf team at the University of Miami. The sport first jumped onto the scene in 1960 as a two person competition. Soon thereafter, the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women started in 1972 and changed the teams to five members each. Since its inception, the Lady Hurricanes have won the national title five times:1970,1972,1977, 1978 and 1984. The team has also sent numerous golfers onto the Ladies Professional Golf Association. More recently, the team is in the midst of a coaching change. The 2010 season marked the end of an era for the 27-year run for head coach Lela Cannon, as she retired this year. Patti Rizzo, an alumnua of the University of Miami 0979 - 1981D and professional golfer for 20 years, will take her place for the 2011 season and beyond. To make sure her players stay focused, Coach Rizzo set the tone this offseason when she told her players, Be passionate about whatever you do and you will be great at it. This shouldnt be a problem with players like freshman Jamie Ritter. I know golf will always be a passion of mine, said Ritter. After a season where the team finished first in the largest collegiate women's tournament, the Edwin Watts7Kiawah lsland Classic, and in 8th place in the ACC championship, the lady Hurricanes look ready for the future. With a strong returning nucleus of Shelby Gilbert, Cristina and Jennifer Hirano and Maria Ronderos, the lady Hurricanes are set to take the change in stride and continue building on a history of excellency in their sport.

But since their elementary days, these track and field athletes have not only established their own wardrobes, but their own identities as well. While they are identical twins who both compete in hurdles and the 4X400-meter relay, telling them apart is simple. The laid-back, clean-cut sister? Thatls Tameka. The one with 23 tattoos who loves to talk? Takecia. I forget theylre twins, said Director of Track and Field Amy Deem. To me, they dont even look alike. Separating them has never been a problem because theylre so uniquely different. While they differ in personalities, as well as hobbies - Tameka loves to shop and read, Takecia enjoys singing and dancing - they don't let their quest for individuality get in the way of the bond they share as twins. were only as strong as our weakest link, Tameka said. We thrive off of that. When shels weak I know I have to get l stronger to hold up both of us and if I'm ' down in any . ' way sheis there for me. We would never let each other settle for less than our best? For Tameka, her best doesnlt mean first- place finishes or standing on podiums. Her biggest accomplishment is being able to get up from hard falls and work to get better every day. One thing I enjoy doing is taking time to myself to reflect and make sure lim being the best I can be, the criminology major said. Some days lim challenged with that, but Ilm satisfied with where I am. Takecia said her biggest accomplishment was making it to college. As a high school freshman, she knew she wanted to pursue a career in track, but ran into a groin injury that sidelined her for six months. As a result, she mentally broke down and her grades suffered. I went through a lot in high school, she said. tll didnlt want to be there anymore. When I finally got the call from my coach that I could run again, I had something to look forward to? Their track talents eventually landed them both at UM. The juniors strive on competition and love representing their university. The best thing about being a ,, Cane for me V 7 7. M, '7 ' would be the representation that comes with the little symbol, the orange and green and the challenge that comes with that, Tameka said. tlf there was no challenge there would be no reason for me to be here? As they work toward their goal of making it to NCAA championships in hurdles, they wont let competitiveness or differences come before what's most important - their relationship. We will always be twins? Tameka said. We'll always have love for one another, have respect for one another, but we donlt dress alike anymore, donit have the same major. We try to go our own routes but keep that twin history.

The 2009 season also brought on a chance for Nelms to make his debut as a waIk-on defensive back for the football team after being on the scout team for three years. He gained recognition early in the season as the one- hit wonder that tackled Oklahomals returner Mossis Madu after the second-half kickoff.

Track and Field 221 GREAT things to come A Catcher and ACCPIayer of the Year Yasmani Grandal dominates the diamond WO R D5 KIERSTEN SCHMIDT PH OTOS JENNA FARMER Despite never winning a national championship, like many Hurricanes before him have, catcher Yasmani Grandal is one of the most successful players to ever don the U. After being named the 2010 ACC Player of the Year, the Cincinnati Reds selected the junior 12th overall in the MLB Draft. Its a tremendous honor to be selected for such a prestigious award? Grandal said of being named the conference player of the year. I appreciate the coaches in this conference for recognizing my hard work and determination to be the best player I can be? His hard work paid off, as its difficult to imagine that Grandal could have performed better than he did in 2010. He led the ACC in batting average with a .401, slugging percentage at .721 and on-base percentage of .527. He was so feared as a hitter that he finished third in the ACC with 57 walks, many of them assumed intentional from wary teams. His awards, however, didntt stop at the ACC level. He was named to several All- American first teams, including those awarded by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, Baseball America and Yahoo! Sports. The NCBWA named Grandal the District III Player of the Year, and he was also named a Golden Spikes Award finalist and a 2010 Dick Howser Trophy finalist. Grandal joins former teammate and 2008 first round pick Yonder Alonso in the Cincinnati Reds organization. Despite his successes and accolades in college, the 21-year-old remains humble and looks toward his future. I havent had too many accomplishments yet, he said.

If you have ever attended a game, you cant help but enjoy the antics of the Miami Maniac. Sebastian the Ibis does not attend these games; instead his cousin rallies up the crowd. The Maniac has a long and storied history that eludes even the most die hard fans. It all began in a weekend series in May of 1982 against the Seminoles. Coach Fraser was looking for a mascot to get the crowd more excited and the outfit that Sebastian originally wore was too rigid to allow for much movement. A new costume was designed by a booster, inspired by the Phillies Phanatic. From his first appearance on the field in 1982, the Maniac's popularity and in-game antics as the mascot have been ever growing. When the Hurricanes made it to Omaha in 1983, the Maniac was honored to be the official mascot of the College World Series for the next eight years. In the eighth inning of the 1989 College World Series Championship game, Maniac encouraged all of the umpires to do the Hokie-Pokie. Maniac invented the C-A-N-E-S spell- out cheer, he was the official mascot of the basketball team when they were re-instated in 1985 until199O and he is the only mascot to be married in front of fans. Senior Justin Antweil said, The maniac is part of the rich tradition of UM baseball. When you think about UM Baseball, you think about three things: Ron Fraser, Jim Morris and the Miami Maniac.

PHOTO COURTESY SPORTSINFORMATION Hernandez, Erickson and Santana become Canes'strongest asset in their starting rotation WO R DS KIERSTEN SCHMIDT Led by a weekend rotation of Chris Hernandez, Eric Erickson and Jason Santana, the 2010 Miami pitching staff ranked in the top three in the conference in several categories and are largely responsible for the teams success this season. At the conclusion of the regular season, Miami ranked second in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 3.65 team-earned run average, barely trailing conference-leading Virginia by only 0.02 points. Erickson, who redshirted last year as he recovered from Tommy John surgery, led the Miami staff and ranked second in the ACC with a 2.52 ERA. While he experienced some pain in his elbow at the start of the season, he now feels comfortable and is happy to be part of the team again. It was really exciting just to get back out on the field and feel like part of the team again, because last year when I wasnit playing, it was really hard for me to feel like I was a part of everything that was going on, the junior Iefthander said. Hernandez did not fall far behind Erickson, ranking fourth in the conference with a 3.02 ERA. For his efforts, Hernandez was named ACC Pitcher of the Week twice, adding on to a long list of awards for the Miami native. He was also the only pitcher on the Miami staff to be named to the first-team AIl-ACC in 2010. Hernandez believes he has come a long way since his impressive freshman year, in which he won several freshman pitcher of the year honors. Ive been able to throw all my pitches for strikes, he said. I couldnt throw my change up before for strikes as much, and thatis definitely improved my game a lot, being able to get strikeouts with it when l didntt even throw it before practically. Thatis definitely been a big step for me. The rotationls least-decorated pitcher, Jason Santana, experienced his breakout season in 2010. After battling injuries during his first four seasons, the righthander was granted his first weekend starting spot since coming to Miami. After undergoing Tommy John surgery the summer before his freshman season, Santana redshirted while he recovered from the procedure. During his first season playing in 2006, he suffered an injury to his non-throwing hand and missed most of the second half of the season. Over the next two seasons, he pitched out of the bullpen in between minor injuries before earning the top mid-week starter position in 2009. For Santana, the most important thing is to remain healthy, everything else is simply a bonus. This is probably the first year We been healthy and stayed healthy, the Miami native said. Last year, I came back from surgery, so I was healthy, but I wasnt able to throw in the beginning of the spring because my arm got tired. Now, I have no pain in my shoulder or elbow at all, so i think thatts the most important thing coming back for the sixth year. As long as Iim giving our team a chance to win, ltm happy with that. For the starting rotation, its all about staying focused on that goal of going to Omaha. Right now, were just focusing on the season and not trying to have any distractions? Erickson said.

Assistant Director for intramurals Tom Soria wants the best IM department in the nation. tiWe can play sports all year round and we take advantage of the opportunity, Soria said. nWhere else can you play basketball outside in January? Seasons consist of round-robin play leading into the highly touted playoffs. Most events take place at the Wellness Center. Every sport has four leagues: open, fraternity, sorority and co-recreational. After the playoffs, the best teams from each league face off for the title of campus champion.

Regardless of what fratemity or sorority we may belong to, there truly is a collective belief in the overwhelming positives of Greek life.

WO R D S RAMON GALIANA Although not every fraternal organization can afford a house, nor is there room on campus, every chapter is provided a suite. Two newly colonized fraternities, Alpha Epsilon Pi and Pi Kappa Phi have moved into fraternity houses on San Amaro Drive. In the fall, PiKapp moved into the former Kappa Sigma fraternity house, while AEPi took over the house that Phi Delta Theta used to occupy. Everything has been an absolute blessing? said junior Ian Hest, president of Pi Kappa Phi. We used to all be spread out and now we have this actual central base where we can host events and be brothers. Additionally, Sigma Alpha Epsilon finished construction of the newest fraternity house in over 40 years. Formerly being housed in the Mary B. Merritt Panhellenic Suites, the fraternity now resides inside of a two-winged, l7-occupant house near University Village. We have great opportunities by moving into this new house, said junior William Miller, president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon. Its a new era for our chapter moving forward. The fraternal organizations not located in houses are situated out of the Panhellenic suites. Here, fraternities and sororities host their chapter meetings and events. Conveniently located next to the Whitten Learning Center, the suites offer a place on campus to rest during a tiring day. I actually dont mind living in a chapter suite as opposed to a chapter house, said junior Ethan Alpern, a brother of Phi Delta Theta. Its a great place to come between classes and hang out with your brothers. It promotes brotherhood unity. For all the ladies in Greek life, living in a suite is a normal part of life. It has been, since Mary B. Merritt, the first Dean of Women, donated the Panhellenic building. Living in the suites lets our chapter operations run more smoothly, said senior Cathy Evancho. Senior Justina Martynaityte agrees. Since we don't have houses, she said, ttit's a great place for sisters to get together and hang out, watch movies, do homework or work on EsororityJ things together. FEMALE TERRITORY Sororities do not have houses, but they do have suites that provide sisters with a home away from home.

All organizations must follow a general set of guidelines set by the Association of Greek Letter Organizations but selection procedures beyond these regulations are set by the chapter members, and sometimes their nationals.

THE lADIES 0F PANHELLENIC The second Formal Panhellenic Recruitment held spring semester involved four intensive nights of nervous potential pledges, endless party rounds in packed sorority suites and plenty of snapping and clapping by chapter members eagerly searching for their new sisters. Preparations for recruitment began in the fall, when potential new members sign up to rush and attend optional sorority showcase events. In January, chapter members and PNMs cut their winter breaks short to complete the recruitment process before the first day of classes. The four-round, five-day period starts with each PNM visiting all seven sorority suites V 23.8 Greeks BREATHCHECK Freshman Lauren Bernoskie grabs a mint passed out by senior Rho Gamma Lauren Weingarten while awaiting the next party. Rho Gammas carried various items in their purses for the girls. ti 1' '79 in the Panhellenic building on the first night, called Open House Round, and then a mutual selection process narrows down the chapters that each girl will return to on each of the following nights. Women visit fewer suites every round, ending with a maximum of two on the last, most formal night: Preference Round. A Bid Day ceremony follows the final round, when the PNMs find out which sorority they have been invited to join and publicly display their new affiliation on the Rock. Each sorority gains approximately the same number of new women, called quota, which is the total number of PNMs going through Recruitment divided by seven. ltThis yearts recruitment was a great success, with a final quota of 45 women, said Panhellenic VP of a READYTO IMPRESS PNMs line up outside the D Phi E suite, anxious to begin the party and meet more of the Deepher sisters, while Panhellenic VP of Recruitment Justina Martynaityte issues a 5-minute knock through her walkie.

Inclement weather didn't stop freshmen Hailey Morris and Chelsea Kimmey from grabbing a quick drink during one of the rare breaks in the hectic day. Recruitment Justina Martynaityte. Despite some setbacks including broken air conditioning in some suites and an influx of PNMs causing an extra party to be added on to each night, the number of new sorority women compares to the numbers from years before deferred recruitment. In fact, the trend in numbers indicates an increase in overall recruitment for the spring, according to the Dean of Students Office. Though stressful, recruitment is a unique experience. No other group of organizations demands so much from potential recruits, and the competition that we witnessed this past year has never been matched. The university now turns to see where formal recruitment develops in the coming semesters. Recruitment among lnterfraternity Council chapters allows a moderate degree of freedom for each chapter in terms of rush events and selection procedures. Each chapter creates 3: its own schedule of events open to potential '3 rushes where the men interested can meet the brothers in a relaxed atmosphere. Rush events this year included barbeques, dinners, beach days and air boat rides. The period designated :07 , for the majority of these events by IR: is considered Dry Rush, where Greeks and non- Greeks cannot drink alcohol together. After the invitation-only final rush event for each chapter, called a Smoker, current brothers hand out bids to the men theylve selected and the rushes may either accept or decline the bid. Following the Smokers, IFC holds a Bid Day ceremony on the UC Rock, where the new pledges reveal the chapter theylve decided to join. RUSHINGTHEROCK Pi Kappa Alpha brothers create a stampede up the stairs to welcome their newly revealed pledges on the UC Rock during lnterfraternity Council Bid Day. 1.,g' tBecause each organization recruits differently, the numbers of new members for each is highly variable? said lFC Recruitment Coordinator James Landis. Some chapters took a few men this spring, while others accepted fuller pledge Classes, depending on factors like retention and national requirements. The pledge classes are generally much smaller than those of the Panhellenic chapters due to the smaller number of men who rush and the fact that most lFC chapters also hold recruitment in the fall.

PHOTO COURTESY LIONELMOISE For NALFO and NPHC organizations, the recruitment process is highly individualized and is unique to each sorority or fraternity. Unlike Panhellenic and IFC, which typically recruit on a yearly or semesterly basis, NALFO and NPHC do not schedule a recruitment period for the chapters and the councils play a limited role in the process. Prospective members attend rush events for the chapters they are interested in and each chapter follows recruiting guidelines based on its national governing body, as well as a set of regulations applicable to all Greek chapters on campus concerning factors like GPA and full-time student status. The emphasis is on quality over quantity, said Lionel Moise of Alpha Phi Alpha. There are no quotas and no formal recruitment periods. The members of these chapters are most concerned with how a recruit will fit into their individual chapter and often have high membership standards. During the recruitment period, prospective members are kept completely secret. The members reveal themselves at the conclusion of the pledging period during a probate show, a long-standing tradition where the new members of each organization ceremoniously and publicly showcase the chapters rituals. The participants dress in ritual attire specific to the chapter and the ceremony often includes performances of step shows, spoken histories and traditional songs. New members wear masks and do not reveal their identities to the university and Greek communities until the end of the show. Highly creative and visually appealing, each show is developed by the new members in collaboration with older members and no two shows are ever the same. 239 Recruitment NAMING THE NEWBIES Deferred recruitment leads to an influx of new Greekpledges in the spring semester I thought recruitment was tough but really insightful.

Nowhere is our dedication to this motto more evident than in our chapterls commitment to service. Our sisters show great dedication to our philanthropy, Service for Sight, Aid to the Blind, on both a local as well as a national level. Not only do many sisters regularly volunteer at the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind, but also our entire chapter comes together during our weeklong philanthropy event, Anchorsplash, which benefits the Lighthouse. Anchorsplash, which was started by Beta Tau, has since become a national Delta Gamma event and one that our sisters look forward to each year. D6 is so much more than service, its diverse sisterhood and a home away from home; it is a place where we share common experiences and learn from each others differences; its a place where each and every sister can be herself. We have sisters from across the country and even a few international sisters too. Our majors range from biology, to engineering, to public relations and we are involved throughout campus in a myriad of different activities from Presidentls 100 to Panhellenic to Up tTil Dawn. And yet with all this diversity, DG remains a unified sisterhood, whose members are forever intertwined in each other's lives. Our sisterhood spans beyond college.

After going through the first few days of recruitment, I knew that DPhiE was the only sorority for me. To be a sister of Delta Phi Epsilon does not mean you have to be tall, skinny, blonde, brunette, a business major or a party girl - it means you have the heart of a Deepher regardless of any of your other characteristics.

The freshmen who started as founding fathers in fall 2006 are now seniors, and they confidently felt they had built Beta into a strong chapter. In spring 2009, the chapter was crowned Greek Week Champions and awarded the Overall Spirit Award for the week. That same semester, IFC recognized Beta with for Outstanding Chapter Scholarship as well as the Most Improved Chapter Award. The brothers carried that momentum into the fall semester. With deferred recruitment, the chapter brought in an impressive pledge class. The chapter placed first in the Greek League for intramural volleyball and also went on to win Kappa Kappa Gammats philanthropy volleyball tournament, Delta Phi Epsilonls Deepher Dudes and Delta Gammals Anchorsplash. Amid all the competitions, the Betas still find time to get together and have a good time. Whether its a superhero-themed mixer on South Beach, a Thursday night in the Grove or just a casual afternoon at the Rat, the brothers get together and enjoy one anotherls company. In addition, as the brothers have helped the chapter become more established on campus, they have remained dedicated to their founding principles of lifelong fraternal brotherhood, high standards of moral conduct and responsible citizenship. Betas take pride in being men of principle during their collegiate years and long after graduation.

As Phi Delts, we strive to uphold the principles of friendship, sound learning and moral rectitude in all of our daily living. This chapter is one where members feel comfortable to be themselves and not lose sight of their values. We pride ourselves in our balance between academics, athletics, social life and on-campus involvement. Our chapter is comprised of leaders of all classes who hold offices in organizations such as Student Government and IFC. As a brother of Phi Delt, you are encouraged and pushed to develop as a man. Our group is dedicated to making the University of Miami experience as great as possible. Our social events, tailgates, beach days, intramural teams and formals are a few of the things we do together that help build our brotherhood and the memories that we can look back on for years from now.

That day, an ambitious group of men came together to form true and lasting friendships to better the collegiate community and to promote the type of fellowship that denotes the highest bonds of fraternalism. Since then, the chapter has succeeded in breeding scholars, leaders, athletes and gentlemen for more than 80 years. The chapter continued to boast these ideals through the last year. Keeping the momentum from last year, we won the Presidents Cup for the third year in a row, started a new philanthropy called Pike Platoon , initiated 25 new brothers and continued to do well in Greek League Intramurals.

As much as I have put into it, SAE has given me back so much more. From developing strong relationships with people that I would have otherwise never met before to learning about myself as a person and a leader to overall having the time of my life, SAE has become a large part of who I am. While I initially joined because my values paralleled those of the Fraternity, the Fraternity has in turn developed and strengthened these raw values into tangible ways with which to live as a true gentleman. In four years, I have been a part of - dramatic change in our chapter. This year will undoubtedly be remembered as the year fall semester, as brothers made sure to make the best of their new house. RETREATAt the biannual brotherhood retreat in Everglades City, Eli Eisenstadt, Elias Hionides, Joey Rappaport, Shaun Calnan and Ryan Zangeneh sit near a lake at the campground before the traditional Botherhood Olympics. we moved from the Panhellenic Building to our brand-new house. Though I miss playing ping-pong and watching television in the suite between classes, the house has opened up a whole new world of opportunities for us, whether it is football watch parties, epic social events or lounging in the courtyard kiddie pool on a lazy Friday afternoon. With each new pledge class, our chapter has taken on a new collective personality. We pride ourselves on not being defined by one identity, and as I look around I see uniqueness in each brother. As much as we have accomplished over the years, I am happy to see that our ideals remain the same: friendship and brotherhood trump all else. I am proud to call myself a brother of SAE and I look forward to seeing the rebirth of greatness for years to come.

These venerable leaders at the University of Texas-Austin were the founding fathers of Delta Epsilon Psi, a South Asian and service-based fraternity that fosters the values of brotherhood, discipline and commitment. The fraternity prides itself on serving the community through continuous propagation of volunteerism, spirit and selflessness. Delta Epsilon Psi works to promote social awareness of South Asians on and off the college campus. We work to unite our members under one common goal: brotherhood. The values of service and discipline have never been stronger. On May 10, 2008, five resolute University of Miami freshmen united to found the Delta Epsilon Psi-Nu Colony. Their desire was to establish a South Asian fraternity on their campus that would excel in leadership, scholarship and philanthropy and would set an example for future classes. Although their goal was initially looked down upon by many skeptical eyes, the five brothers became the pillars of strength and value that overcame opposition and doubt to realize their dream to create their colony at UM. In the past year, the fraternity donated over $5,000 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund as part of its annual philanthropic tournament, Sugar Spike Off.

As the youngest brother of the chapter, I was always the first one ready to display our unique art form of saluting, poetry in motion as brothers described it. I loved the militant marching and the thunderous roar of my brothers voices as we told our story and the stories of those who came before us. Founded on the principles of unity, brotherhood, respect, culture and pride, I learned to channel all of my newfound energy into servicing the UM community as well as the community at large. I have never met a group of men more willing to dedicate so much to benefit others. I remember one brother dropped everything and headed straight to New Orleans after the Hurricane Katrina disaster. I remember the vigil we held for those who died from AIDS. I remember going to the Florida Sector 2 banquet and our chapter walking away with all the awards minus one. With all these great accomplishments, I began to take our mottos to heart and I treated them as life lessons. Chivalry above self, en la union esta la fuerza , or in unity there is strength.

Asher, Guy Levis Grant, Marcus Peter Blakemore, Edward Giles Irvin and George Wesley Edmonds are responsible for founding the fraternity, which was then known as Kappa Alpha Nu. Those 10 men sought to create a bond for minority men in a time where substantial racial segregation existed. Later, the organization was incorporated and the named changed to what we know today, Kappa Alpha Psi. Since it was chartered on the campus of the University of Miami on Dec.1,1979, members of the Iota Chi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. have lived out the fraternityis motto, honorable achievement in every field of human endeavorf to the fullest. The chapter currently holds awards for National Pan-Hellenic Council Fraternity Chapter of the Year and NPHC Highest GPA Among Fraternities as well as placing first in the Greek Extravaganza step show.

During the 2009 Alumni Weekend, undergraduate brothers had the chance to reconnect with older members and hear firsthand accounts of the chapters history.

There are the obvious great feelingsll like when our national stroll song comes on and every SGRho in a seven-mile radius rushes to get in the stroll line. There's the pride that comes with representing the organization at events or even just wearing letters to class. But its not all warm fuzzies and group hugs. Getting business done is definitely a top priority for Mu Nu. Because we're such a small chapter, each member shoulders big responsibilities and it's essential to our survival that we function as a cohesive unit. it feels great to see the sorority at work and be a part of a successful event, whether its something simple like the Breast Cancer Awareness Game Show or something as complicated as the annual Mr. Blue and Gold Scholarship Pageant.

Service WO R D S COLLEEN DOURNEY The evening of March 28 marked the official beginning of one of the universityls most popular weeks with an explosive opening ceremony held at the Rock. Greek Week is a series of events every year that brings together members from all social Greek fraternities and sororities housed on campus. Greeks have raised a combined $400,000 over the past 15 years for United Cerebral Palsy of South Florida. Other recipients of the Greek Week endowment are the Community Blood Banks of South Florida, who have received over 1000 pints of blood from the Greeks efforts. tEveryonels spirit and enthusiasm helps to not only increase Greek visibility on campus, but also reconfirm our commitment to doing positive events to help others? said senior Dallas Short, a Phi Delta Theta brother and co- chair of Greek Week. This year's theme was theality TV? so events had characteristics of popular reality television shows. Events included Extreme Makeover: Haiti Edition and Miamits Best Dance Crew. The week's overall theme was nTrue Life: llm Greek, based on MTV,s True Life. 2 8 O Greeks there are a series of events over the course of a week that bring everyone together. But senior Devin Murphy, Kappa Kappa Gamma sister and co-Chair of the week, sees some differences. ill think this week offers a lot more of a chance for unity amongst all of the social Greek life on campus since all Greeks are involved, she said. Homecoming, instead, is an event that is more focused on networking with UM alumni and celebrating the annual Homecoming football game by being spirited. Each event at both Homecoming and Greek Week is a competition, with a big emphasis on participation. For the sororities, Delta Phi Epsilon took home the championship, while Beta Theta Pi won for the fraternities. Its a great way for Greeks to not only compete, but through that competition, get to know each other and show our unity as a Greek community, Short said. Greek Week also has a widespread appeal to non-Greek students at UM. nl was just walking by the patio last year with some friends and saw some really tight dance moves, so I decided to stick around, said senior Try Spano. Even though Itm not Greek, it was definitely entertaining to watch?

Arriving in August, I met a lot of upperclassmen who encouraged me to become involved in organizations, so I did. Once Ijoined organizations, such as Greek Life, cultural organizations, service organizations and Student Government, the thought of transferring and leaving this amazing University never crossed my mind again. I truly found my Tamilv throughout my involvements, and I would encourage every student to get involved in at least one organization on campus.

Organizations range from academic to athletic, from cultural to professional, from artistic to religious and from honorary to service. Each student is guaranteed to find his or her place in one or many organizations. The best part about members involved in UM's organizations is their noticeable pride and dedication to their group. Every student can discover a more enriched college experience through student organizations, connecting with peers of similar passions or talents.

Cruz has been playing instruments since the age of three, but did not start his marching band career until after a football injury his freshman year of high school.

The group practices three times a week for two hours each day and performs at the six home football games, at FSU on Labor Day and at the year-end bowl game. Senior Hurricanette Julie-Ann Burton thought the amount of practice was tough to manage. My study time was not cut into, but my social life was non-existent, she said. Though the time commitment was tough for some, freshman Paul Piazza felt that the practices brought the band members closer together. I'm close to people I never thought i would be close with because of all the time we spent together, Piazza said. The group's intense practice schedule was apparent in their performances on the football field. Piazza felt that football performances were the best part of band. You feel like you contribute to the big-school experience, Piazza said. Burton agreed. It is amazing to watch the audience enjoying the spirit cheers and the show, she said. The band performed many different shows that draw from a myriad of musical styles.

It is an athletic artform that requires members to challenge themselves in order to grow and progress. iiln training and in competition, the person who makes mistakes or gets tired and gives up first, is the one who loses, said graduate student and primary instructor Jay Hall. So you are forced to constantly challenge yourself to make good decisions and to push past your limits when you are tired. The dynamics of this unique club sport are illustrated through the amount of strategic planning and training that each member endures. Members practice their technique in pairs and must learn each other's strengths, weaknesses, habits and capabilities. Since this sport is particularly dangerous, involving choke holds and joint locks, each member must maintain a sensitive self-control and tolerance towards their training partners. This causes members to develop a strong sense of trust. On a competitive level, members exercise their meticulous training in competitions all over the state of Florida. In competition, it's easy for the students to bond because they all feel the same pressures, anxieties and ambitions, Hall said. They are teammates that train together, so they help one another in tournaments by cheering for each other, helping to coach each other, offering advice and encouragement and even sharing insight about the strengths and weaknesses of upcoming opponents that they have already seen compete. What defines this organization is the combination of martial arts and sports fitness. Members must familiarize themselves with the defense and sports aspects and view the sport as an artistic pursuit.

PHOTO JENNAFARMER Cheerleaders are sexy, spirited and successful WO R DS J ENNA FARMER When the roar from the crowd dies down after each game, the co-ed cheerleading team gives the megaphones a rest to spend some quality time together. Cheerleading definitely takes up a lot of our time, so we try to hang out together, junior Jenae Molins said. It's like a family, freshman Shannon Nurse said. She divulged that she and her team members enjoy baking, dancing, going to the beach, and going to Sir Pizza together weekly. Nurse defends her male teammates, who sometimes encounter ridicule for being on the team. A lot of the time, people don't realize that the guys have to be strong athletes to be a cheerleader, she said. I spend about 24 to 30 hours a week with these guys, junior Matt Rosen said. Many of those hours are spent in the gym weight training or taking kickboxing classes. I went to Yard House with three other guys from the team and the waiter asked me what sport I do to get in shape, he said. I physically couldn't get the word 'cheerleading' out of my mouth. My dad makes me call it something different: I'm a cheer master, Rosen said laughing. When he's not at cheerleading practice, Rosen is a cartoonist for The Miami Hurricane and an illustrator for Distraction. Senior Yasiel Hernandez admits being laughed at by a professor when he told him he was a cheerleader. Hernandez helps manage his father's business when he isn't in class or at practice. It's really been a lot of fun learning new skills and building a relationship with the team, Hernandez said. Although the team has many different interests outside of cheerleading, their focus is the same: It's all about the U.

The girls on my team have become my second family. We all get along very well and have a lot of fun with each other. From traveling to football games and basketball tournaments, I have gotten to visit places that I have never been before. For example, last year we traveled to San Francisco, California for the Emerald Nuts bowl game. We had so much fun exploring the city together. It was an amazing trip. I feel very lucky to be part of such a close-knit group of people. ASHLEY: There isnt much I would change about cheerleading, but if I had to choose one thing, it would be the stereotypes attached to it. Slowly it is being recognized as more of a sport, but there are still people who look at it as merely shaking pom poms. The best part about cheerleading is all the people you get to meet. Not only have I become extremely close with the girls on the team, but I've also met tons of people from the university, the community and other related organizations. It's nice to be constantly surrounded by interesting people.

He leads him around l FunDay connects volunteers with disabled community members for a day of mutual learning and enjoyment WO RDS COREY ERB P H OTOS CAYLA NIMMO Before sunrise on a brisk 50-degree Saturday morning in February, a group of 13 students arrived at the Rock to put the final touches on an event that had been a year in the making. The FunDay executive boards simple aim repeated throughout the morning was to help a group of disabled individuals share a pleasant, memorable day. Hours later, more than 500 students arrived to be paired with one of around 400 special citizens for the day, or to operate a station designed for the participants enjoyment. My favorite part is seeing the citizens arrive wearing their FunDay shirts from last year, said FunDay Chair Justina Martynaityte, a senior, and knowing how much they enjoy FunDay and look forward to it all year long? Stations included bounce houses, dunk tanks and a Sebastian football toss on the Patio, a magician in the I-Lounge, arts and crafts on the Rock and music therapy in the UC. Senior Rachel Hanusa helped run the music therapy station, where participants sang and played percussion instruments along with volunteers. tlt really shows that music is the universal language and it touches every person in some way? Hanusa said. ttWe filled in new words to The Lion Sleeps Tonightl - my favorite was lln the Disney, the mighty orangutan, the alligator sleeps tonightf Wayne and volunteer buddy sophomore Taylor Feldman marveled at the ladder truck the Coral Gables Fire Department brought, one of the tallest in the country at 174 feet. I like just helping them to have a fun day, Feldman said. After a long day moving from station to station, a consensus favorite was the barbecue sponsored by Chartwells, where junior Aaron Snyder spent his time topping burgers with lettuce and tomato. A lot of these people arentt born in the same situation, he said, so any way we can help them have a good day Eis greatjfl Sophomore Gustavo Lang said he learned as much from his wheelchair-bound buddy Briana as she did from him. I didn't know what to do to connect with her, Lang said. I could talk to her, but she couldn't talk back. But if there's one thing Briana could do, it was smile - a huge smile that overtook her entire face. And that was great. In hindsight, perhaps I should have mentally prepared myself for the possibility of being paired with a severely handicapped individual? g2 IT'S GETTING HOT OUT HERE The crowd excitedly heads towards the fire truck that pulled into STRIKEAPOSE Freshmen Alex Crutkaew and Brittney Hutchenson walk hand in hand with attendee William Miller.

Organization Photos :54 ' t J- 3' 9 WO R D S ELIZABETH RAMSAY UM Alternative Breaks offers a chance to do something different for the school breaks, to get outside of yourself and your usual schedule and step into the life of someone else. While other college students travel to exotic locales or return home to visit family, 17 groups of University of Miami students chose an alternative for their spring break. There are various issues a student can sign up for if interested in Alternative Spring Break, like animal rights, elderly services and education. After participants decide on their top choices, they are informed which group they will be participating in. Each group met once a week from November until March in order to discuss the upcoming trip and become acquainted with one another. Alternative Spring Break is not only a week designed to help others, it is a chance to become aware of societal issues that need addressing alongside peers. Junior Jennifer Del 31 0 Organizations ,gy. 1 ., . . ,.. 3 vs. '33:?5 : . f x Toro said, There were alternative break groups from all over the country and church mission groups also working with us? Sophomore Alysha Gruner chose to participate in Alternative Spring Break for two essentially intertwined reasons: the genuine want to help people, coupled with her future career interests. I just really love being around people and helping? Gruner said. I thought it was a really great opportunity to serve people and I met new people at UM. You always get close with the group you work with. It is good to get away from it all and you just focus on helping other people. It is almost a break from the stress of everyday life so you remember what is important. Gruner participated in the Child Issues group, whose location was Lignum, Va. She and her group volunteered at a child abuse center designed to reinforce positive social behavior and provide the loving environment that had been lacking from the lives of these children. . .23 3 w . a 3.: Alternative Spring Break is the chance to step out of your comfort zone and make a difference in the world Though the trips are intended to help others, Gruner felt she and her peers benefited more than the people they were helping. ilWhether or not youive done a lot of service in the past, there is something to learn for everyone, she said. tlt feels so good to feel like you helped people, even though truthfully you learn more from them than they learn from you. And that is something that is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. Similarly, while at her site in New Orleans, Del Toro said, The one thing I will remember out of everything was a man who stopped us at the grocery store our first day in town and thanked us. He said 'people like you are what's going to bring our city back to life'. It inspired me to do more. I wanted to get a hammer and get right to work. Students are taught about Gandhils mantra, tbe the change they want to see in the world? UM Alternative Breaks offers a unique chance to be that change.

The annual Commuter Week hosted by the Association of Commuter Students brought the same spirit of a sporting event to the Rock. The week included commuter traditions like a breakfast in the Memorial parking lot and a charity date auction held in the Rat, where attractive guys and girls auctioned themselves off. The money collected from eager suitors was donated to earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. The charity date auction is probably the most popular event of the week based on crowd response alone. Ben Velasquez, a senior and a member of ACS, has hosted the event for the past two years. For him, the event has been one he looks forward to every year. This years events featured two new additions to the lineup of activities: a box ball tournament and a car smash which rivaled the date auction in popularity. Some people would start with just one round of smashing and end up hanging out with us for an hour? said sophomore Liliana Oyarzun, ACS community outreach chair. ttWe will definitely be doing Kthe car smashJ again. For members of the commuter community and ACS alike, the week is about more than enjoying time with other commuters. It is about raising awareness on campus about the commuter presence and getting students involved who may be missing out on the traditional college experience. Its about creating a commuter buzz? said Jaife Calil, a senior and ACS president. We want all uninvolved commuters to know ACS exists and that they dont have to miss out because they live at home. Not only did they raise awareness about their organization, ACS managed to raise $1700 for Relay for Life and the Haiti Relief Fund.

Members acquire a globalized perspective and express it through competitive events. MUN is so dynamic, sophomore member Robert Goldfin said. Delegates must incorporate speech, debate, research, etiquette and even acting to perform well in a competition. It's one of the few places where real discussions are made on the subjects of politics and foreign affairs, and that's refreshing. In order to become a member of the team, interested students must fill out an application. Upon being accepted, they can attend the preliminary competition called Canes Conference, which occurred in October. Canes Conference is the critical point for all potential members. Additional competitions include the Harvard National Model United Nations Conference in February and the Chicago Model 31 8 Organizations United Nations conference in April. These competitions allow members to compete during the school year, and provides them with the opportunity to explore various locations with fellow MUN participants. Over the course of the year, members prepare for competitions by familiarizing themselves with the nations they will be representing. This year MUN members learned they would be representing the island nation of Palau. Preparation is marked by a vast amount of research and meetings every Friday. Members share their findings with the team and complete speech and debate exercises. Constructive criticism from fellow members helps each member improve tremendously and prepare for the actual competitions. MUN caters to students who want to participate in a diplomatically spirited club or who want to join one of the top- ranked model UN teams in the world. We are the thinkers, let us be the doers as well, junior President Carl Mbao said. l'And let us employ thoughtful action in order to succeed.

To a passerby, this group of perpetually peppy students may seem strange, but for members of Random Acts of Kindness, performing small actions to improve peoplets days is a mission and a lifestyle. ttWe like to show that kindness can be as flashy and cool as other things, said President Kemy Joseph, senior. When RAK formed in 2006, it had about 10 members, but has since grown to more than 30. This was a small club of people who wanted to do random acts of kindness, Joseph said. Even though wetve grown, we still stay true to that? RAK strives to leave a legacy of a positive campus, allowing students to show appreciation for their home away from home. Through the creative and directive talents of Joseph, the club has taken on a new dimension this year, augmenting the small acts of sunshine with U R Awesome shirts. Inspired by Blake Mycoskiets TOMS Shoes, Joseph created T-shirts that spread positivity through upbeat messages, such as Smile and Be Happy and tLove Who You Are. For every shirt purchased, one is donated to someone in need. This blossomed into the nonprofit organization U R Awesome, Inc., which sells shirts on its website, URAwesome.org. The shirts were also featured in The Great Giveaway, a clothing drive between Oct. 28 and Nov.11 benefiting underprivileged Miami-Dade County residents. This club goes above and beyond to make the university community a more united and happier place with small and big acts of benevolence. RAK empowers students to brighten peoplets days, which benefits everyone involved. You donit have to wait, Joseph said. You can give back right now. Members try to live every day by RAK,s simple but meaningful ideals, summarized by e-board member Luke Beekman, a senior: You are worth loving, he said. Spread it? atmosphere on campus.

PHOTO GENEVIEVE STACK GSA strives to include graduate students in on-campus events as well as administrative affairs BY NADIA ISMAEL For the last forty-one years the Graduate Student Association has been the intermediary force between university politics and the graduate student body. Designed to be the voice of graduate students, GSA has endeavored to tipromote effective graduate student participation in University affairs. Francisco J. De Caso y Basalo, the organizations current vice president, describes graduate students as being perhaps more recluse, tfocused and iiseriousii than their seemingly care-free undergraduate counterparts. He and the organizationis E-Board, comprised of Mechelle Francis, Adrianna Brown, Jingjing Qian, Janet Genz, Whitney C. White and Amin Sarafraz, diligently work year-round to create events that promote GSAis involvement in student affairs through networking - and of course fun. The goal is to get them away from research for a while, out of the lab to really network 3 2 8 Organizations and make connections said De Caso y Basalo regarding the organizations social gatherings. The organization held an event at the Lowe Art Museum on Coral Gables Campus. Titled Night at the Museum, the affair featured exhibits of Cuban artists, capturing the diverse cultural landscape present in Miami. As GSA's second largest effort, the event boasted 150 guests. Members of GSA serves on several University committees, including Green U, the Parking Advisory Board, Faculty Senate, Board of Trustees Academic Affairs Committee and GAFAC. The organization is also involved with the Universityts Master Planning and Construction Committee and their impending inner road project. GSA members on the committee represent the interests of graduate students, making recommendations to University officials that reflect their constituents' desires. GSA looks to make a difference in the community and raise awareness in creative ways. One of GSAts senators, Cee Keegan of the School of Communication, organized an exhibit on instruments of torture at Freedom Tower in downtown Miami. The event included guest speakers and presentations and aimed to promote human rights by educating attendees on the history of torture. Recognition is always goodfsaid GSA senator Ricardo E. Zulueta. While focusing on political, civil and academic duties, the organization keeps members motivated and active. In recognition of special members who work to serve the graduate student body and GSA, the organization has developed special honors for each sect of the organization. GSA presents these in late April at their end-of- the-year banquet, an event for members and honorees to celebrate excellence and achievement, said De Caso y Basalo. Finally, the organization held a spring barbecue on the UC patio on the Coral Gables campus, which was another opportunity for graduate students to mingle, network and get others involved in their mission.

New members acquire certification through courses offered by the club, which include two nights of classroom learning, four two-hour pool sessions and four separate preparation dives. Overall, the certification process takes an average of three weeks. I learned a lot, it prepared me really well for any problems that could occur and I met a lot of new friends? freshman Jessica Kerbel said. According to Scuba Club President Aaron Jacobson, a junior, members are also active in marine conservation. We try to make sure that everybody keeps their gear attached to them so they dont hit the coral? he said. nWe dont do any fishing and we make sure that we keep the reefs in good condition. Other conservation efforts include Ocean Kids Day and Ocean Awareness Week. As for dive safety, the club requires a refresher course for members who have been certified for less than a year. To ease concerned new members, Jacobson said, We have a dive safety officer, two officers that are dive masters Ewith professional certificationJ and we also supervise the divers. The first two dives of the year are shallow dives. Members of the club go on underwater adventures every weekend including dives at shipwreck locations and with nurse sharks. Each semester they also take a camping trip to Key West. Another club perk is the discounted dives. I have wanted to get certified for a long time and the club here is great because we get good deals as a group, freshman Maria Cartolano said. For students looking for friends who share a passion for the ocean, Scuba Club offers a home on the ground or in the sea. Aaron Jacobson, Junior What is your favorite thing about scuba club or scuba diving?

PHOTO ALEXARTEAGA 3 3 8 Organizations WORDS RACHEL EWY Athletes from the UM community come together to test their physical capabilities and limits by competing in challenging triathlon races all over Miami. TriCanes is a student- Ied triathlon training organization open to undergraduates, graduates, alumni, faculty and staff. I think it is a great way for the student to get some relief from the education portion of the school and social life and to enhance their overall college experience, coach Ken Groce said. There are 10 practices a week offered to the 38 members, though members are only required to attend two in order to maintain active status in the club. Although considered teams, men and women race for themselves. The team members compile their individual rankings from every race to determine who their competitors will be at Nationals. In the Escape to Miami competition, 20 students competed, a record for TriCanes. In the male sprint, freshmen Brian VanCleave and Michael Moll Oates placed first and third, respectively. For females, sophomore Amanda Zacharkiewicz took second place. In the Olympic race, sophomore Spencer Deleveaux crossed the finish line first. President Caitlin Burman, senior, said that her favorite aspect of triathlons is the physical and mental challenge. I also love how friendly the people are, she said. IlUnlike other sports, where it is purely about competition, because triathlons are split into age groups, everyone on the course is really supportive. VanCleave, who attends four to five practices per week said, IITraining is actually really fun for me. Everyone on the team is really friendly and easy to get along with, so its great to train alongside them. The endorphin rush sells it, though. Therels nothing like a good runnerls high.

Ultimate Frisbee gives club sports a run for their money WORDS TIFFANY MILAKOVICH PHOTOS JENNAFARMER Ultimate Frisbee, also known as Ultimate, is quickly becoming a widely recognized American sport. A CNN News Report explained that Ultimate Frisbee is no walk in the park. it's a fast, furious and fiercely competitive sport. UMis menis and womenis Ultimate Frisbee club teams work hard all year long to exemplify this reputation. The game combines football with soccer's consistent flow of running. There is no stop and go in Ultimate Frisbee. The personality of the players shows through their distinct team titles: VICE and Southern Tropical Depressions, menis and womenis teams respectively. Members exhibit their dedication to the club during practices, which are two-and- a-half hours three times a week. It takes up most of my time. between practices, meetings, workouts and tournaments, said junior Ari Schiftan, president of the men's team. Tournaments take place in various locations in Florida including Orlando, Gainesville and Tallahassee, as well as in Georgia and even Las Vegas. Junior Emily Louwsma, president of the women's team, said her favorite part of Ultimate is ntraveling with the team to tournaments around the state and just getting to know each other and bonding as a team. Members not only experience an intense workout but genuine team bonding too. ltThe team bonding that goes on is insane, Schiftan said. iiYou know, that general team feeling. The intensity level of winning is just awesome. The dynamics of the menis and women's teams are very similar, especialiy since both teams practice on the 1M fields. Since there are no referees and players are in charge of calling fouls, picks and travels, there is never a dull moment in Ultimate. THEFIELD A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with end zones 25 yards deep. INITIATE PLAY Each point begins with teams of seven on their own end-zone line. The defense throws the disc to the offense. SCORING Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense's end zone, the offense scores a point. MOVEMENT OF THE DISC The CI isc may be advanced by completing a pass within 10 seconds, but players may not run with it. CHANGE OF POSSESSION When a pass is incomplete, there is a turnover. SUBSTITUTIONS Players may replace each other in the game after a score and during an injury timeout. NON-CONTACT No physical contact, picks or screens are allowed between players. FOULS When a player initiates contact on another player, a foul occurs and if there is a disagreement, the play is redone. SELF-REFEREEING Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. SPIRIT OF THE GAME Ultimate Frisbee stresses sportsmanship and fair play. STARTING GUN Senior Joe Weitzer demonstrates rule number two as he initiates play between the defense and offense by throwing the disc. Following his pass, his team can advance down field. PROUDPOWER Junior Evan AIMANDSHOOT Senior Giulian Asher knows the importance of Jauregui dodges into position to sportsmanship and is in proud throw, with hopes of aiming into possession of the disc. the hands of a teammate and hot to the opposition. TOOHIGHTOHANDLE Senior Giulian Jauregui tries his hardest to reach for the sacred disc: as it soars just over his reach. Since players are self-referees they can decide whether a foul or line call happens next. 343 Ultimate Frisbee Spotlight ....................................

UV residents have the privacy of their own bedrooms, as well as the comfort of a full kitchen and living room. Aside from the ample living space, the biggest difference between living at the UV and in any of the on-campus residential colleges is the way its residents socialize. The dorms cater to those looking to create friendships whereas the UV offers a more independent feel. It would have been hard to live here as a first-year student because it isnt very socially connected to campus life, said junior Molly Piccione, a resident of the UV. This could explain the 60-credit minimum required to live in the UV. Now I feel comfortable enough with my established friendships, she said. The arrangements in the UV make getting to know your neighbors pretty uncommon. liSocializing in the UV is practically non- existent, senior Richard Russell said. l honestly don,t know anyone on my floor. Not that the UVls resident assistants dont try to plan socializing events. tThe students that live here are not focused on doing everything they can to become friends with the people on their floor, but we do have occasional social programming, said senior Erica Jones, an RA at the UV. Though they don't have floor dinners or any of the other social activities so common in the dorms, Jones said they still try to give residents chances to get to know each other. llWe had an ice cream social to kick off the semester, hosted cooking classes, took 20 students kayaking out in Coconut Grove and will be attending a Miami Dolphins game? Jones said. Despite the hands-off approach UV RAs take, residents still seem to love their living situations on the edge of campus. itltls greatf' Piccione said.

On a slow Friday afternoon, Scott cheerily drives around campus on the Stanford Express shuttle and the Fountain Route. While few students are familiar with Scott, perhaps due to the monotony of the day, those who know him look forward to his friendly face on the shuttle each day.

Campus Characters 3 6 3 ................ 3.614. m vi - PICTUREPERFECT The Stanford and Hecht Residential Towers, lovingly referred to as just the Towers, stand tall across Lake Osceola as one of the most picturesque views on campus . PHOTO RACHELEWY WO R D S BRIELLE BUCKLER Hecht Residential College is defined as, among other things, the original; the best, and its 921 residents agree. In comparison to Stanford Residential College, freshman Hayley Mitchell said the lobby is nicer, the elevators are newer and RAs are cooler. Hecht is comprised of two towers, McDonald and Pentland, which both hold 12 floors of double rooms. Each floor has a central People bathroom and is assigned to one gender. Both towers, however, are co-ed by floor. Originally called the 1968 Complex because of the date of its opening, Hecht was renamed after Florence Ruth Hecht in 1984 and was the first residence hall to be converted into a residential college in 1986 - hence, the original; the best. Within the residential college are apartments for the resident master and both associate masters, a computer lab, a classroom and a laundry facility free for students. Even my friends in Stanford think Hecht is better, said Mitchell, a Hecht resident. It was recently renovated, so the lobby is bigger and more inviting and the facilities are newer. Freshman Gage Boozan lives on the 11th floor of McDonald Tower. Hecht is awesome, Hecht residents enjoy residential hall and keep coming back he said. I guess that's why I have so many sophomores on my floor. They just didn't want to leave. Many upperclassmen request to stay in Hecht even after their freshman year. A main allure for students is how close Hecht is to the Wellness Center and the dining hall. Each floor houses around 40 students, and the close proximity in which they live makes for lasting friendships or potential conflicts. The girls on my floor are great, Mitchell said. We're such a great group of girls. Hecht Residential College certainly has something for everyone, as evidenced by the fact that students request to live in these two towers by the lake year after year. It must be true what Sebastian the Ibis says, then: Hecht is the original and the best. 3:99.193? .4 ,9 365 2.9959. ,5, 199;, , ,.

I have met so many great people living in Stanford, said Michael Dellentash, a Rosborough Tower resident. We have all become a family that enjoys living and hanging out with each other. The Stanford-Hecht dining hall is just a few quick steps away, so there's no excuse not to make the most of that meal plan and dine with new friends. A few more steps lead to the Wellness Center to help you keep off that Freshman 15. After a rewarding workout, you can head back up to your room and look out the window at an intramural sports game or the sparkling lake water. Stanford also boasts a computer lab, a music practice room, a classroom, laundry facilities and a study room that is lovingly referred to as the fish bowl? ltStanford is very welcoming, said Dolores Prudent, who serves as an academic fellow in Walsh Tower. ltltls a very warm and cozy environment. To help sure a seamless transition into college, Standford housing resident faculty Miss Winchester, the Hendersoanimpson family and the Barker family, who just welcomed a new baby boy into their family this year.

People Inventive programming brings residents closer together PEARSON PRIDE WO RDS NICOLE ADLMAN AND BROOKE LEMAIRE Mahoney and Pearson residential colleges stand out from the rest by fostering a feeling of warmth for its residents, turning closeness in proximity for each building's seven floors into a tightly knit network of peers, separated only by the hallways connecting the buildings. Walk outside your door and you will find hungry friends willing to join you for lunch. Go down the hall and watch the latest football game with the guys. Take the elevator to the sixth or seventh floor to join a kitchen full of people for Sunday brunch. Venture out to the front patio for a barbecue or to meet new people. Mahoney has made this first year the best possible and made me feel comfortable? freshman Wes Mitchell said. To create a comfortable and engaging atmosphere for residents, the Mahoney-Pearson team, made up of residential assistants and coordinators, devised a lineup of activities that keep the building lively and its patrons involved. Staff organized a rock-climbing program open to all Mahoney-Pearson residents to promote residence life and body-conscious activities. Students coming out in droves to try their hand at climbing the dorm's wall. There are always great activities that the staff set up, so you can never get bored, junior Sarah Garcia said. If students need assistance beyond their RAis qualifications, they can visit the faculty master, Professor Robert Moore, on the main floor. Moore has been Mahoneyls faculty master for 12 years, so he is a veteran at accommodating students needs. He provides hands-off guidance and an open-home policy, regularly opening his door for meetings and dinners. Junior Maria D'Angiolillo, an RA in Pearson, believes Mahoney-Pearson's diversity is its distinctive quality. Living in Pearson is much different than living on the other side of the lake because it's a melting pot, she said. From freshmen to seniors, international students to athletes, we have it all in one. Besides Mahoney-Pearson's events and community nature, residents live close to public transportation and shopping, making a car unnecessary and evenings out obtainable. Residents get the best of college life all in one place. Mahoney is my home, Garcia said. It's the best place to be. Mahoney and Pearson Residential Colleges 3.8.1. ...................

For Eaton residents, sitting lakeside neverfelt so good EXPERIENCE WO R DS MELISA RAMOS If there is one thing that Eaton residents can agree on, its the buildings convenient proximity to all the campus hot spots. Located on the east side of Lake Osceola, it is less than a five-minute walk to the UC and only a 10-minute walk to most academic buildings. Though Eaton doesnlt have its own dining hall, it is in between the Hecht-Stanford and , , .n :7 r : a e; LeenSe'am-f, 7 e DeVln Mammy, , M , : , eli Alyssa ' i ffy KingtiiTrevorr 7 f; foieEnAntiilaf i ' People Mahoney-Pearson halls, so residents can take their pick. Within Eatonls halls, the dorms are set up in a suite-style format, which connects two rooms with a shared bathroom. It is a big advantage having our own bathroom and a laundry room on every floor, said sophomore Michael Critch. Another advantage of Eaton living is that it provides a sense of community. The smallest residential college on campus, Eaton is home to approximately 450 students and faculty members - a stark contrast to the over 900 residents of residential colleges like Stanford and Hecht. Even with such a small number of students, residents have plenty of places to socialize and study just a few short steps away from their rooms. There are two study lounges located on each floor and for a little fresh air, there is a patio that overlooks the lake. nThe lounge and patio areas are nice to socialize while enjoying the beautiful Florida weather on a convenient place to go to escape your room for a while, Critch said. If residents want a more hands-on socializing experience, they can find a calendar of programs on Eatonls website created by the administrators. The programs range from bicycle workshops and visits to the planetarium, to barbeques and a wines of the world event. Overall, Eaton is great place to live for residents looking to socialize by the lake and still make it to class in less than 10 minutes. :EatOn 4 f WO R DS MELISA RAMOS The apartment area, the oldest residential buildings on campus, can be found just south of Eaton. Though there were originally 29 apartment buildings in this area, only seven of them are still used as residential spaces. However, these apartments are set to change at the beginning of the 2010 fall semester. Current residents enjoy amenities including a full kitchen and living room, like the University Village, without the long walk. I enjoy having Living one last year in the agingApartmentArea the kitchen, senior Jim Albright said. Making food definitely beats a meal plan any day. With three or five other housemates, however, the space can seem cramped at times. The living room is a mixed blessing, Albright said. I love having it but my roommates sometimes have rowdy company on the weekends and they spend all of their time there. Though for some this may be a problem, many residents enjoy being able to have company over in their larger space. Another unique feature of the apartment area is that its residents are permitted to stay on campus during the winter intersession, a luxury not enjoyed by any other on-campus housing except the UV. At the end of the spring, the apartment area will no longer be available for residency. As newer, more updated options like the University Village and nearby Red Road Commons became available, demand for the apartments diminished. Upon hearing of the closure, students had mixed opinions. I really grew to like my apartment and I'm really not looking forward to having to move out next semester, junior Chris Cabezas said. I wouldn't move back into the dorms because of the lack of space but moving off campus isn't really ideal. The apartments are perfect, they are spacious and close to everything on campus. Some residents, like Albright, do welcome the change. I don't love the idea of having to move, but the apartments are really starting to become unlivable, he said. Though the fate of the apartment buildings is still unclear, onlookers and residents alike hope they will be replaced with more updated buildings. It would be great to have updated living spaces so centrally located on campus, Cabezas said, even though they probably wouldn't be up by the time I graduate.

How will you best remember your past four years at UM? I will best remember my time here by the nights spent out with my sisters and friends at Fridays and at the Grove. I am really going to miss going to Tavern to play beer pong or going to Moels for karaoke. How would you describe yourself as a freshman versus as a senior? As a freshman, l was very unsure of where I wanted to go in life. I did not really see college as what I wanted or needed to be successful. Now, I realize that I did need college to help me grow and really understand myself. I have learned a lot in these past four years, some academic, but most of it is knowledge of what to expect in the 'real world.' I would say now I am ready to explore the world and figure out what I really want. 428 People Jason Mills Advertising Jordan Mimoun Business Management and Organization l Golden Beach, FL Tynickwa Mims Microbiology I Middleburg, FL Gregory Mlacker Neurobiology I Pinecrest, FL Raul Moas Accounting l Miami, FL Lionel Moise Broadcast Journalism l Plantation, FL Stephanie Moncada English I Miami, FL Samantha Monteleone Marketing I Stony Brook, NY Tatiana Montenegro Public Relations I Miami Beach,FL Jennifer Montersil NUAP I Miramar, FL Zully Montiel-King Psychology l Miami Beach.

It is not merely a matter of her tireless work ethic, selfless mode of supporting her children or the ability she has to brighten the day of anyone she meets; more so, it is the lessons she has imparted to me.

Career paths have been Chosen and maturity levels have skyrocketed. Within the People Graduate School, the average student profile does not seem to exist. Students come from all points around the globe and range across all ages: from those who enroll straight into graduate school from undergraduate, to those who waited to return to school after years of professional work experience. To bridge the gap between the various topics of study and create a cohesive unit, graduate organizations work to plan social events, like an on-campus barbecue or an off-campus bowling night. We enjoyed my program very much, said Linda Li, who is working to obtain a Master of Public Relations, and coming from China, I like meeting new people too. While the involvement spectrum varies from that of undergraduates, graduate students still aim to make the most of their time at UM. Anas Ahmed Ph. D.

Outstanding graduates are so much more than just hardworking students WO R DS LINDSAY PEREZ P H OTOS RACHEL EWY PHOTO ILLUSTRATION KENNETH GARCIA Graduate students are not any one type. They are students and teachers; they attend class and they run companies; they study for exams and they raise families. Some spent years away from school only to return to the books years later. Others could not bear the thought of heading into the job market after just four short years of college life. Most, however, no matter what their situation, could not curb their yearning to learn or their thirst for education and inevitably found themselves embarking on further academic endeavors. As teaching assistants, they strive to help undergraduates get through tough times just as they once did. They provide guidance and one-on-one support when students have qualms or concerns about their course or a test. In an organization like the Graduate Students Association, they work to better their academic environment and curriculum in addition to honing networking skills. Many graduates do all this and balance it with raising a family. Graduate students are nothing short of extraordinary. In this next section, you will meet seven candidates, chosen by the office of the Dean of the Graduate School, that represent the high caliber of student that can be found in the graduate school. Between being peer mentors and making their own dreams come true, they are truly an inspiration and a force to be reckoned with as Hurricanes.

When I was elected the honorable position of Editor-in-Chief of the 2010 Ibis, I made it my foremost goal to respectfully and accurately recount the history of the University. From big changes like the University-wide logo change or our initiation into the US. Weekly News and World Report Top 50 Colleges, to : the more traditional events like Homecoming Chelsea Matiash, Jessica Jurick, Nick Maslow and the entire staff of The Miami Hurricane; Stacey Coon and Nicole Adlman tworkstudiesx Cayla Nimmo, Lisa Weintraub, Bobby Giller, Alyssa Bernstein, Adriane D'Angelo, Brian Lantry, Jenna Farmer tstaff photographersx Chris Hardgrove, Sabrina Ginete, Colleen Mullins, Danial Osiason, Audrey Vogel, Meredith Liang, Erin Podracky tstaff designersx Kelly Fitzpatrick, Brooke Lemaire, Laura Caso, Christina Bermudez tstaff writersx Kassandra Perez tphoto submissionsx Tom Ortiz ttech supporU; Norm Parsons and the enitre Board of Publications, Robert Porter and Taylor Publishing, Dr. Patricia Whitely, Margot Winick and all of UM Communications; and Chris Rackcliffe, Courtney O'Connell and Leah Adams from the 2009 Ibis Staff. ' Closing ' and Greek Week, I sought to capture the true, organic spirit of the U as it shines everyday. With each assignment, story and photo shoot, I never ceased to be amazed by the passion that lies within each and every student. In the everyday schedule of attending class, our interviewees shared their zeal for their studies, for their environment and for their peers. Photos captured the intent focus of future engineers building a concrete canoe from scratch and the creativity of communication majors spending 24-hours straight doing pro-bono publicity for not-for-profit organizations. With the mid- year tragedy in Haiti, the Ibis followed as our Alma mater rose to the occasion on all levels: donating time and money through bake sales, vigils and trips directly to Haiti. Under the leadership of coach Randy Shannon, Hurricanes football soared into the BCS top 25, drawing more students to Landshark stadium than ever before, and allowing the lbis to capture the spirited campus characters who make an irreversible impression on their fellow fans. To me, it is these moments, big and small, that make history at our University. It is walking by the lake on the way to the Rat and appreciating the unique beauty of the towers; it is engaging in a conversation with a classmate about a topic that may never be covered again in the real world; it is about walking from the UC to the BUC to sit fifteen rows away from President Bill Clinton; and it is about touching the lives of fellow Canes and standing back in awe to see how much they have touched mine. I cannot thank the administration, my advisors, Marcia MeskieI-Macy, Randy Stano and Bob Dubord, and my each one of my fellow Ibis staff members enough for seeing my creative vision and appreciating the greatness of this institute as much as I do. I hope that years from now, the 2010 lbl's brings back a fondness not only for the University, but also, a fondness for the everyday college you.

Since my major is business management and finance, 1m in mostly those classes, but I have a psychology minor and I've been able to take philosophy, art history and even music classes.
