The Marxist Student Union has been a registered student organization at The University of Memphis since 2003, but until recently the group has been relatively dormant. The MSU’s mission this semester has been to bring attention to the plight of Cuba. Students from the MSU plan to hold an awareness seminar on the Cuban Five, also known as the Miami Five, Thursday at 6 p.m. in the University Center Shelby Room. The talk was spurred by the 2001 conviction of a group of five Cuban intelligence officers who were charged with conspiracy to commit espionage, conspiracy to commit murder and other illegal activities in the United States at the end of the 1990s. The Five appealed their convictions and the alleged lack of fairness in their trial has received international attention and criticism. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta overturned their convictions in 2005, but the full court later reversed the five’s bid for a new trial and reinstated the original convictions. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case in 2009. “There have been over 100 terrorist attacks on Cuba,” said James Raines, doctoral candidate in literature at The U of M and vice president of the MSU.

Marxist Student Union President Blake Piner and Vice President James Raines exercise their free speech to the fullest extent, letting their controversial flag fly high while sitting right outside the UC to discuss political philosophies and current issues. “Many came from the ports in the Southern part of the U.S., but we did nothing.” Cuba is among the most targeted country in the world for terrorist attacks — the Cuban government classified nearly 3,500 deaths as a result of “terrorism,” “aggression,” or “acts

of piracy or other acts” in a 2001 report by Cuba’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations. “There’s been a history of terrorist attacks against Cuba by right-wing groups based in Miami,” said Daniel Laumann, history professor and faculty adviser of the MSU. “The attacks

were well-documented in their effort to undermine the Cuban government. Cuba had looked to the U.S. for help but without success, even though Cuba has always supported the U.S. in its war against terrorism.” Raines said the Cuban Five were in the U.S. to protect their

own country and could not have received a fair trial in Miami, which is home to the largest Cuban immigrant population in America. The most recent public outcry regarding Miami’s baseball manager, Raines said, proves

Study shows clinical nursing’s effect on grad rate Study shows negative clinical experience increases motivation to graduate, make difference in nursing ﬁeld

BY miCHelle CorBeT News Reporter

Associate Dean of Nursing Dr. Linda Finch recently co-authored an academic paper that found an inverse relationship between poor medical care and likelihood to follow said career.

Emily Patey, senior nursing major, has wanted to be a nurse since she was a child. “Really, I just grew up wanting to be a nurse. The motivation behind it was probably helping people,” she said. Linda Finch, associate dean for The University of Memphis’ undergraduate nursing pro-

gram, co-authored “The Effect of Nursing Students’ Clinical Experiences on Probability of Graduation,” an academic paper that found students like Patey will be more encouraged to pursue the nursing field if they undergo a negative clinical experience. “We looked at how the more discomfort there was in

Campus Life

BY Timberly Moore News Reporter The Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is offering a new style of education — minus the tuition. Located on the third floor of The FedEx Institute of Technology building, the CEI assists over one hundred businesses that were founded by current University of Memphis students and community members in their startup process. The center, which opened in the fall, offers internship and networking opportunities, free business advice, workshops and brainstorming sessions. Colt Schwerin, senior finance major, interns at the CEI and is working toward becoming a client as well. After brainstorming with his bosses, Schwerin is in the idea phase of creating a micro-loan funding program. “I do market research, analysis of projections and financial documents, but working here makes you feel like you are doing something much more profound because of the impact

that you can have on people’s lives,” Schwerin said. He chose to work for the CEI over another internship offer from a bank, and said he looks forward to going into work every day. “This place has a sense of synergy that is unmatched by any other job that I’ve ever had,” he said. Kelly Penwell, program manager for the CEI, said she relocated from Long Island, New York to take the position. “I moved down here the summer before we opened to help set up and work out all of the logistics we needed worked out,” Penwell said. Services provided by the center are free for clients because the Center operates using a two-year grant from the Small Business Administration. “My hope is that we will continue after the two years because the demand is definitely there,” Penwell said. Penwell, who taught for six years, said she has never worked with a better group of people than The U of M interns she has. Jack Simon, communications media and political science

Simon’s upcoming Brister Street Music Festival is sponsored by the CEI. A group of community entrepreneurs helped him brainstorm ideas for his festival during a whiteboard session, where he pitched his

proposal. He said the best part of the CEI is that it’s free. “The CEI is the most underutilized resources on campus,” Simon said. “There’s a lot of creative minds involved bringing together lots of creative minds for the purpose of successful entrepreneurial business.” The CEI offers services to a

variety of businesses including non-profits, childcare, biomedical, and retail facilities. “If you feel like you can’t do it by yourself, then come on down to the CEI,” Penwell said. “It’s a great opportunity. The University of Memphis has one of the finest business schools in the country. Why not utilize it?”

Academics

BY ELIZABETH COOPER News Reporter

Children’s art projects will line the walls and tables of the gymnasium at Lester School in the Binghampton neighborhood today at 3:30 p.m. Students involved in the Community Arts Academy at Lester will display their prints, sculptures and other projects worked on throughout the semester in the weekly after-school program that is run by undergraduate and graduate students in The University of Memphis’ Department of Art Education. Donalyn Heise, associate professor of art at The U of M and co-coordinator of CAA, began the program four years ago to prepare U of M art education majors to be able to teach well in any setting. “Our students didn’t have a

background in teaching in urban environments with a diverse student population,” Heise said. “Many had a stereotype formed by the negative media attention that neglects to show all the assets of the urban population.” Lester is a Title One school, which means a high concentration of students who attend live at or below the poverty level. Heise said U of M students quickly realized the children were no different from others. “The University students that went there fell in love with the kids, and that exposure changed their attitude and stereotypes about urban schools,” Heise said. Each year the academy has a theme that the students follow throughout the course of the program. This year’s theme of “Who are we now? What is our history? and What do we want to

be?” was chosen to align with the University’s centennial celebration. Academy students have worked on various projects, from portraits and printmaking to clay “face jugs” and a three-dimensional tower with a window displaying students’ perception of themselves and what they would like to become. Heise said many of the projects reflect the assets of the community and the resilience of the children. She said the creativity and resourcefulness taught within the program gives students a “protective factor” that increases their self-confidence Next year Lester will become a charter school and undergo structural changes that will extend the school time, conflicting with the start time of the Community Art Academy program. Jamin Carter, who received his

U of M art education department teams with local elementary school

Masters of Art and Teaching from The U of M, is the art teacher at Lester and has been integral in getting students involved in the program, Heise said. However, he said he questions whether the Community Art Academy will continue at Lester after his position is terminated when the school becomes a state-administered charter. Regardless, the Community Arts Academy will continue to mix graduate and undergraduate arts education students at The U of M with the urban youth. Heise said the students in the program teach the future art teachers as much as The U of M students

teach them. Because the program is optional, the teachers have to come up with fun ways to keep the children interested. “I have learned to connect my art projects with the emotions of the child,” said Quo Bailey, a graduate student and teacher at the art academy. “They react much better when the project becomes a part of them.” Initially the Community Arts Academy received a grant to fund resources for the projects. Now the funding comes from the U of M students’ art material fees. Heise said external grant funding is needed “to do bigger and better things.”

from page 1 the role, the more interested they were in staying in school to get their degree,” Birnbaum said. Rhodes College associate professor of commerce and business, Dee Birnbaum, coauthored the paper, which was presented in early March at the Association for Marketing and Health Care Research Meeting in Park City, Utah. What they discovered was contrary to their expectations. The researchers thought if the students saw conditions like poor staffing with patients not receiving the care they needed they would be less likely to graduate as a nurse because they would be discouraged. Researchers found, however, the more problems students witnessed, the more likely they were to graduate as nurses. “The results showed a

negative clinical experience increased the rate of graduation, which was really unexpected,” Birnbaum said. The study was conducted over the course of three years, from 2006 to 2009, and solely included interviews of nursing students from The U of M Loewenberg School of Nursing. It consisted of asking 263 students about the clinicals they participated in their first semester. Two main motivations for people to pursue nursing surfaced in the interviews. One was the motivation of helping people, like Patey described, and the other was the motivation of a stable job, good income and job availability. “We have, for years, had students come into nursing for helping people or the humanitarianism viewpoint. They are now coming in for stability of the job,” Finch said. “So to have it identified by students, it showed while there are other reasons, there

are clearly two opposite ends of the spectrum: people who want to help and people who are in it for money, stability and mobility.” Through clinical experience, nursing students see nursing is not always perfect and apply the theoretical as well as conceptual knowledge they’ve acquired in the classroom to real life situations and patients, she said. “They see nurses are scientists, artists and humans — no one person fits a mold. Every patient is an individual. Every nurse must go into their toolkit to find the right way to care for that particular patient. It’s not as easy as choosing the right answer on a test. Real life issues require critical thinking and reasoning,” Finch said. Patey said she’s learned more though participating in hands-on clinical experiences than she has in class. “I can see that maybe people will not realize how much

T he U of M N aval R.o.T.C.

work it is, but the thing is you have eight patients. They don’t realize how hard the job is until they have clinicals,” she said. The nursing students interviewed for the study answered questions about the nature of their clinicals, the staff, the workload expected of the student and how the clinical made the student feel about nursing as a career. Finch and Birnbaum later checked to see which participants had graduated, and are in an ongoing phase of the data analysis. “When you think about it, if they see the situation is desperate their help is needed and the ones who want a good career are also needed. The worse the conditions were the more they wanted to stay and do something in the field,” Birnbaum said. While the healthcare field is expanding with 313,000 more jobs for nurses in 2011, there is a shortage of educators who can teach the field of nurs-

ing, Birnbaum said. In 2011, graduate schools rejected 67,563 applicants, according to Birnbaum. She said though there is a high demand for health care professionals, there is a lack of educators to fill the shortage. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing announced Monday that Loewenberg School of Nursing received a score of 98.39 percent on the National Council of Licensure Examination, a test all nurses must take to get a license to practice in the state. “I would say to the graduating seniors this spring as their associate dean of nursing to never lose sight of the core values: caring, diversity, integrity and leadership,” Finch said. “And to always remember that patients and their safety is the number one consideration. We are servants to the public. Nursing is a challenging but rewarding career.”

that. Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen, a Venezuelan immigrant, was handed a five-game suspension Tuesday after he told Time magazine he loves Fidel Castro and respects the Cuban dictator for staying in power so long. “(Guillen) is a victim. This was a severe miscarriage of justice. He essentially said he hated Castro, but respected his chutzpah,” Raines said. “Cuba is one of our closest neighbors — you could swim there — and (Fidel Castro) had the audacity to say no to the U.S. government.” Raines said the public outcry against Guillen is very telling of the American sentiment towards Cuba. “If this is happening to such a public guy, how can we possibly think the Cuban Five ever got anything close to a fair trial?” Raines said. Laumann said he has always been outspoken with regard to his pro-Cuban sentiment and was saddened to hear about the public animosity toward Guillen. “It’s unfortunate. The last thing (Miami) needs is a proCuban manager. And it’s only because of economic survival he decided to retract his statement. Free speech is under attack just to appease politically powerful people,” Laumann said. “I love Fidel, too. If that leads to me being suspended from teaching classes, then so be it.” He said there are many places around the world that consider Castro a hero. “This incident in Miami is unfortunate,” he said. “There’s a vocal and politically powerful group in Miami, but they don’t represent all Cubans or Cuban-Americans.” Laumann and his wife, Study Abroad Assistant Director Rebecca Laumann, plan to take a trip to Cuba this summer as part of a faculty expedition. If all goes well, they hope students will be able to visit the country in 2013. “Only on special conditions can I go to Cuba,” he said.

History professor Daniel Laumann holds an unconventional, yet sincere opinion on foreign relations, wishing for an improved relationship with Cuba.

MarxisM from page 5

“Under each president the terms change. It was pretty easy under President Clinton and nearly impossible under Bush the second, but it’s been getting easier under Obama.” Laumann said Cuba isn’t responsible for keeping

Americans out of the country. The U.S. has maintained a blockade of Cuba since 1960. In 1992, Congress passed the Cuban Democracy Act with the stated purpose that the embargo should continue as long as the Cuban government continues to refuse to move toward “democratization and greater respect for human rights.”

The MSU’s efforts to change the public’s view of Cuba with their semester-long campaign were hindered last month when a man stood up during a papal Mass in Cuba and yelled “Libertad!” (Freedom) and “Down with Communism” in Spanish before being carted away and beaten by a group of at least three men, including one wearing a Cuban Red Cross uniform. “Based on how we’ve handled Trayvon (Martin),” Raines said. “We’re not the country to pass judgment on how (the Cuban government) handles their own affairs.” Laumann said Thursday’s session is timely and solidifies the MSU’s reasons for their campaign. “We’re doing what we’re supposed to do at The University, which is educating the community about the world. We are trying to expose Americans to the lies against Cuba, which is against American ideals,” Laumann said.

UM track earns 13 first place finishes at SEMO BY DAVID CAFFEY Sports Reporter The University of Memphis men’s and women’s track and field teams made a big splash at the Joey Haines Invitational over the weekend, earning 13 first-place finishes to finish the two-day meet. For head coach Kevin Robinson, the teams’ performance at the event was milestone for the season but there

is room for improve. “We won 13 events today, had multiple season and personal bests and competed very well across the board,” he said. “This team has come a long way, but we are not satisfied.” The Tigers had a dominant performance in hurdles with senior Robert Jackson and freshman Tyrell Forde finishing first and third in the men’s 110-meter event respectively.

Junior Quaniqua Jones won the women’s 100-meter event with a time of 14.54 seconds. Casey Carl, Kyle Bynam, Thomas Poole and Austin Crenshaw took all four top spots in men’s javelin, while Anna-Maria Bischof earned the win for the women. The U of M’s Monica Mason, Nandia Taylor and Jasmine Darden also swept the top three finishes in the women’s 800-meter run, and Julien Wolf and James Maglasang finished second in third in the men’s event. The track and field teams resume competition on Saturday in Oxford, Miss. as part of the Mississippi Open.

Tennis

Tigers take down Southern Miss BY SCoTT HAll Sports Editor The University of Memphis women’s tennis team moved to 15-3 with a 6-1 win over Southern Miss on Saturday. The No. 57 Tigers began the day with a sweep of the doubles matches. Stefanie Mikesz teamed up with Alyssa Hibberd to take out Mackenzie Oskin and Morrea Williams, 8-0, while Courtney Collins and Kelly Gray clinched the doubles point with an 8-2 win and Mariya Slupska and Tiffany Welcher won 8-5 to complete the sweep. No. 69 Mikesz started the Tigers off on the right foot in singles play, dropping just one game en route to a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Oskin. No. 74 Slupska and Hibberd each won their matches, dropping only three games each. The Tigers’ lone loss came when Southern Miss’ Alex Bradley defeated Andrea Arques-Garcia 6-2, 6-1. No. 127 Collins defeated Alexus Coats 6-2, 6-3 and No. 119 Welcher rounded out the match with a 6-3, 6-4 win.

After her fourth win over Conference USA opponents this season, Welcher was named C-USA Player of the Week on Tuesday. She joined Collins as the only two Memphis players to have earned the honor this season. The Tigers will travel to Tulsa, Okla., to face the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in their final match of the season. They will then turn their attentions to the C-USA tournament, which will be held April 19-22 in Memphis.
