ACADEMICS

Obscure majors offer diverse prospects Options allow career creativity, flexibility

BY ASHLEY MARTINEZ COPY EDITOR

Majors like accounting and education usually lead students to clear career opportunities.

But other options may not prepare students for a particular career path, and instead help pave their way to less specific professions.

Sophomore Mishael Cetoute decided to major in Africana studies and political science to further learn about his interests in African history.

“The term ‘Africana studies’ might seem like only for people who are African or AfricanAmerican, but what you learn is that African history is part of American history and world history, and as informed citizens, it is important to know,” he said. “This major isn’t exclusively for African-Americans in the same way taking a Spanish class is not just for Hispanics.”

In previous semesters, Cetoute worked at the Kulula Project, which pairs children of under-represented minorities with mentors who help them with academic skills and instill in them a strong sense of pride in their culture.

This led Cetoute to devote his attention to the role of minorities and their relationship to politics.

After graduating, Cetoute hopes to gain teaching experience either through Teach for America or another locally run teaching fellowship. Then he plans to go on to law school and get involved in public policy related to representing minorities and other overlooked groups.

Some majors allow students to test uncharted fields, as was the case with senior Luz Diaz, who is majoring in music engineering and minoring in computer engineering. She chose UM specifically for its music program

and juggled engineering classes and being a musician.

Over the summer, she worked at NBC Universal at operation and technical services in the sound department. She was chosen for her computer programming skills and assisted the department with its daily operations.

“Since I know about computers and the things that can be done with them, my job was to come up with software solutions to common problems that people face,” Diaz said. “Because

“The term ‘Africana studies’ might seem like only for people who are African or AfricanAmerican, but what you learn is that African history is part of American history and world history, and as informed citizens, it is important to know.”

it is the 21st century, and they need to improve the technology, it’s always good to have new eyes come in with a different point of view.”

Diaz ultimately hopes to work in a Foleystudio, where the sounds of a movie are reproduced for clarity and quality in postproduction.

In contrast to majors that focus on technology, there are still those that emphasize the past and recording those events. Joe Stevenson, a senior majoring in anthropology and marine affairs, had the chance to work as a field archeologist at Mission San Joseph de Escambe in Pensacola, Fla. Stevenson helped excavate what was once a Spanish fort inhabited by Apalachee Indians and Spanish friars and soldiers. The excavation

involved detailed mapping, and he uncovered many metals, belts, buckles and ceramics.

“In a dig, you have to detail everything because you’re destroying it as you go,” he said.

“It can’t be redone. You can’t excavate again.

Once it’s gone, it’s gone.”

Stevenson also spent time working at a University of Miami-owned site called Little Salt Spring, one of Florida’s only known prehistoric sites. He studied prehistoric submerged terrestrial archaeology.

Stevenson wants to continue field archeology, find an area of concentration, graduate, and eventually teach. His ideal would be to combine his two majors and work at underwater shipwrecks.

“Studying human culture and what makes us ‘us’ helps us adapt to our changing environment and helps us interact with our world and each other,” he said.

The intrigue of a different culture is what led sophomore Jennifer North to pursue a major in both Latin American studies and Spanish. She is in the Fellows in Latin American Studies program, which allows students to complete their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in five years.

As part of the program, students get to study abroad and take trips to countries in Latin America. North spent her summer working in Puerto Rico at the Abraham Project, a home for children who are not yet up for adoption, but had to be removed from their families for their safety. There, North helped teach the students, led vocational classes and trained shortterm volunteers.

Next summer, she hopes to work in a rural community in Bolivia setting up libraries and promoting literacy.

“I like to say I have a plan B and a plan C, but not a plan A yet,” North said. “I’ve considered getting a Ph.D. and being a professor.

I’m open to new experiences and seeing where it leads.”

UM’s School of Law will be featuring the Hispanic National Bar Association’s “Human Trafficking Conference” this Friday from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Multipurpose Room in the BankUnited Center’s Fieldhouse.

Keynote speakers include Catherine A. MacKinnon, a professor of law at the University of Michigan. She is a well-known lawyer, teacher and activist on sex-equality issues, and

Kappa Sigma returns for 75th anniversary Fraternity reinstated after four-year absence

BY ELIZABETH DE ARMAS OPINION EDITOR

After four years of being banned from campus, Kappa Sigma Fraternity is returning to the University of Miami just in time to celebrate its 75th year anniversary on campus.

According to a report published by The Miami Hurricane in February 2009, Kappa Sigma was punished by its international office due to “social and alcohol violations contrary to their codes of conduct.”

Though the fraternity will be unable to participate in rush, which ends on Feb. 3, professional recruiters will be on campus starting Feb. 11 to find student leaders who are interested in joining the fraternity.

The fraternity petitioned to return to UM last fall and after deliberation by the Interfraternity Council (IFC), it was approved.

Brenden Kollar, the president of IFC, said that having Kappa Sigma back on campus would be beneficial to the university.

“Being a fraternity for 75 years is a really big deal,” he said. “It will be a nice thing for the university to have.”

Though the fraternity is making its way back to campus, they will be facing two challenges – they will not be able to have a suite because the Panhellenic Building is currently full, and they will not be able to rent a house because other fraternities are currently occupying the space.

Tony Lake, the associate dean of students and director of judicial affairs, said that Kappa Sigma will be allowed to resume all fraternity activities. However, space limitations will prevent the fraternity from having an individual house or suite.

“They are coming back as a legitimate fraternity,” he said.

When Kappa Sigma was removed from campus, the university did not partake in the decision.

Before the Kappa Sigma’s UM chapter

was shut down by its international office in 2009, the fraternity had history on campus.

In 2001, Chad Meredith, a Kappa Sigma pledge, went swimming in Lake Osceola with two of his fraternity brothers and drowned in seven feet of water.

Although some people believe that Kappa Sigma was punished for hazing, that is a misconception. According to a report published by The Miami Hurricane in February 2004, Miami-Dade police ruled out hazing two days after the incident.

Steven Priepke, assistant dean of students, was Meredith’s RA at the time and remembers the incident.

“It was horrific,” he said.

Kappa Sigma was questioned and investigated, but the chapter was never penalized for Meredith’s death. Instead, Meredith’s parents sued the two fraternity officers. The two were later found guilty and were each ordered to pay $6.3 million to Chad’s parents for his wrongful death.

The drowning, which happened more than 12 years ago, had nothing to do with Jan. 24 - Jan. 27, 2013

the chapter’s previous punishment. Lake said that it “doesn’t make sense” to look into the past because the chapter will not consist of the same people.

“Students are very thorough about their decisions,” he said. “They’ve looked into all of these fraternities and sororities, and if they were worried, they wouldn’t join.”

Kappa Sigma has been an international fraternity since 1869 and its values stand on four pillars: fellowship, leadership, scholarship and service.

Koller said the national recruiters will be looking for student leaders on campus that will get the chapter on a “good basis.”

He added that the incident shouldn’t discourage students from joining and “having that stigma is kind of idiotic.”

“The values of the fraternity and what they stand for are strong,” Priepke said.

“Students who will be joining the chapter are a special brand of entrepreneurs. They want to build something new. They don’t really look for anything pre-existing.”

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Dan Marino WalkAbout benefits local charities Autism groups join to raise money, awareness

BY JORDAN COYNE COPY EDITOR

Participants of Saturday’s WalkAbout Autism will walk through the team tunnel at Sun Life Stadium with Dan Marino, former Miami Dolphins quarterback, to benefit organizations in South Florida.

Schools, groups and individuals in the South Florida community will congregate at Sun Life Stadium from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday to raise money and awareness for autism – a disease that affects one in 88 children.

The Dan Marino Foundation (DMF) – along with the University of Miami-Nova Southeastern University Center for Autism and Related Disabilities (UM-NSU CARD) and the Autism Society of America chapters in Broward and Miami-Dade counties – organize, execute and benefit

from the WalkAbout.

The walk was inspired by leading advocacy agencies that desired to raise money for local programs and services, according to Dr. Michael Alessandri, the executive director of UM-NSU CARD. “It is always very gratifying to see so many families come out to celebrate autism awareness and raise funds for needy organizations,” he said. “Having the event at Sun Life Stadium is also very exciting because our families can walk on the field and enjoy the stadium from a different perspective than usual.”

Clinical staff at UM-NSU CARD work out of the Flipse building to offer support to patients with autism and autistic-like diseases, along with their families. Their services include family support, technical assistance and consultation, parent and professional training programs, and public education activities, according to the Center’s website.

Schools that participate receive 25 percent of the funds they raise for their

own special needs programs, according to Amanda Murray, a spokesperson for UMNSU CARD. “As budgets continue to get cut further and further across the state of Florida, this really helps to give back to the needs of each school,” she said.

As of Friday, 124 schools were registered and helping to reach the walk’s overall goal of $500,000. Another registered team was the brothers of UM’s Beta Theta Pi fraternity.

The fraternity has fundraised for autism since its inception in 2006 and has worked closely with the DMF since 2010 when the WalkAbout was first established.

“Autism isn’t the national Beta cause. It’s something that we chose to do ourselves,” said junior Kyle Dungca, who serves as Beta’s co-PR chair. “We saw that it wasn’t on campus and we wanted to address that somehow.”

The WalkAbout Autism is one of many philanthropy events put on by the

fraternity that stresses the importance of giving back to the local community, according to junior Troy Gulec, Beta’s social chair.

“It’s in this community, and that’s what I think all of us should do philanthropy-wise: support local Miami,” he said.

IF YOU GO WHAT: WalkAbout Autism WHERE: Sun Life Stadium, 2269 NW 199th St., Miami Gardens WHEN: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday Students who wish to participate in or donate to the WalkAbout as a member of the UM Team, which benefits the UM-NSU CARD, should visit support.danmarinofoundationorg/ goto/UMWalkAbout2013.

NCAA: Don’t point fingers with dirty hands Our first reaction was laughter, though that hardly seems fitting. Hypocrisy is rarely funny.

After two years full of questions but absolutely no answers, the NCAA just dropped the figurative hammer on itself. Let’s review the facts, or lack thereof: Nevin Shapiro, a perpetual liar and swindler with an inferiority complex that he took out on the Hurricanes, is in prison for a Ponzi scheme totaling nearly $1 billion.

Shapiro poured his heart out to a Yahoo! Sports reporter who ran with his wild story of illicit gifts, yacht trips and strippers for UM athletes from 2002 to 2010.

The NCAA launched an investigation into this alleged rampant misconduct, benefited from full disclosure and cooperation on the university’s part, but still failed to produce results.

Our athletic department has remained poised, compliant and persistent in its own right, even shutting the football team out of two bowl bans to lighten any forthcoming sanctions.

“I am frustrated, disappointed and concerned by President Mark Emmert’s announcement

today that the integrity of the investigation may have been compromised by the NCAA staff,” President Donna E. Shalala said in a statement. “... we will continue to work with the NCAA and now with their outside investigator hoping for a swift resolution of the investigation and our case.”

NCAA’s statement on Wednesday was shocking, and borderline humorous. Emmert called out former members of the association’s enforcement staff for improperly obtaining information to use against UM. Give that a second to sink in. The integrity police have abandoned their own rules. The administrative body tasked to investigate wrongdoing at Miami could not follow its own guidelines.

Everyone is guilty of the occasional unethical misstep. But something feels especially unsavory about this new development in our long-running case with the NCAA. People always wonder whether the NCAA has a particular vendetta against Miami. Since the brand first exploded during the Jimmy Johnson era, there has

been outrage over perceived unethical conduct at the U. In 2011, Sports Illustrated’s Alexander Wolff wrote a followup to his infamous 1995 letter calling for Miami’s athletic program to be shut down. “Your football program has no regard for the rules and your administration has no ability to enforce them,” he said.

Two years and zero solutions later, it’s the NCAA that must look inward to investigate a blatant disregard for its protocol and its “ability to enforce” it.

Will the NCAA ban itself from bowl games? Reduce its scholarships to set the program back a few years? Or does this developing mess warrant the dreaded death penalty?

The Hurricanes’ future is still at stake. The longer this investigation drags on, the more of a hindrance it becomes. But even the NCAA can’t take away the legacy we’ve built, the pride we’ve established or our trust in this program.

We stand with the U. Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hurricane editorial board.

Marching band hazing often overlooked ast year, when I read an article in The New York Times about the gruesome death that resulted from “blunt force trauma that caused hemorrhaging and left deep bruises on a man’s chest, arms, shoulder and back,” I expected the story to recount murder by an armed and dangerous criminal.

ALYSSA JACOBSON But I was heartbroken to learn CONTRIBUTING that this death was brought about COLUMNIST by band members from Florida A&M. High school and collegiate bands remind me of intelligent students pumping up a crowd’s spirit during football games. What doesn’t come to mind is violent murderers who strangle, hit and even kill fellow members of their organization.

anti-hazing programs for fraternities and sororities after tragedies of students striving to gain acceptance, the same is not true in marching bands.

Students join marching band because they enjoy the friendships, but also because they like interacting with an enthusiastic crowd and making music. There are very few opportunities that mimic the chance to play one’s instrument in front of a crowd of cheering fans while the football team scores the winning touchdown.

I have found out that this is not the only school where hazing is a part of joining the marching band.

We can’t continue to ignore these egregious acts.

Schools should implement measures to ensure a safe environment for students who want to pursue their passions. There should be strict contracts with harsh punishments for anyone who breaks them.

Shootings, tragedies destroy faith in humanity ood riddance to 2012, the year that made us afraid to go to school and the movies. Freaks like Adam Lanza and James Holmes really make me ashamed to be of the same species. I wish terrible things on them, and yet even if they were to be carried into the sky by the winged monkeys from “The Wizard of Oz” and torn to shreds, there would still be a lot of upsetting individuals out there.

HUNTER WRIGHT CONTRIBUTING Please tell me someone slipped something COLUMNIST into my drink or maybe embedded a pill into the thick mounds of my morning oatmeal. I thought I might have bit down on something hard in the usual oaty mushiness of my morning meal one time earlier this year. And though I blamed the mysterious quality of dining hall food then, I’m now hoping that a topof-the-trade 3,892-hour hallucinogenic has been altering my mind for months and months and none of these bizarre horrific stories are real.

I want to wake up from this bad trip and realize that just like curtains don’t really talk, and the shower drain isn’t actually an everexpanding black hole determined to devour toes, people couldn’t possibly be so disgusting. Yet the truth is even when everyday objects aren’t talkative or scary, people still are.

Being back home in California this winter break, I got online as often as possible to check out the news in Florida. One of the stories to pop up was titled “Florida Woman Claims Mini Horses Sexually Attacked By Man.” I watched the video, read the article, lost my faith in humanity, though I had little to begin with, and went on to read about a naked man who was shot by a neighbor after biting him and choking his dog.

I have enough of a problem with the boys at frat parties who prey on innocent girls hoping to appear anything but innocent, but men who sexually assault miniature horses? Are you kidding me? We rode those

G

at the fair when we were 4 years old and full of hope.

Once upon a time, the worst I felt for a pony was when the fat kid decided to ride it. Now people are raping them. Is this real life? Do we seriously have to deal with this, and are humans really that monstrous?

I thought society was supposed to be civilized in this age, but even the cavemen would turn their noses up at this one.

If you’re sick of politics and have no interest in listening to Republicans and Democrats hating on each other, just flip on some reality television so you can follow the lives of people who matter. Personally, I’m excited for the new show the cable channel Oxygen just announced. It’s called “All My Babies’ Mamas,” and it follows the lives of 10 women involved in rap star Carlos “Shawty Lo” Walker’s glamorous life.

The show promotes a reality that is all too harsh: Having 11 children with 10 different women is acceptable and even celebrated in 2013. Congratulations, Shawty Lo, you’ve certainly proved that you are good at getting “laffy taffy.” Never mind that you’ve been convicted for assault and dealing cocaine – I’m sure you make a great father.

Keep in mind that the rap star’s current girlfriend is 19, which is the same age as three of his daughters. Not only did his criminal history not bother the women who so badly wanted to carry his genes in their wombs and his money in their wallets, but the public obviously didn’t have a problem with his past either, sending his hip-hop group D4L’s song “Laffy Taffy” to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list in 2006.

These are the people we idolize. We hate politicians and love entertainers. We get angry about taxes and yet support these artists with album sales and sold-out concerts. Who wants to listen to the news when songs like “Laffy Taffy” are out there? “I’d rather dance,” says the youth of America. “Politics are boring!”

Please, let me wake up in a Quentin Tarantino movie, where things are a lot more bearable and right.

Republicans: Listen to Beyonce, move to the left

W

hen Beyonce isn't busy lipsyncing the national anthem, she's actually proclaiming words of wisdom.

Like her hit song "Irreplaceable" recommends, Republicans STEPHANIE PARRA should scoot a bit over NEWS EDITOR to the left. To make strides, the Republican Party should listen to Queen B: "To the left, to the left, everything you own in the box to the left..."

So, Republicans, collect all your socially conservative views, put them in a box, and move to the left. Seriously. If you want to make some moves, stop being so stiff about immigration. Or gay rights. Or abortion. And loosen the grip on your guns. I know it's a lot to ask, but at least consider it.

In order to make conservative progress in the economic arena, Republicans need to

embrace social policies that lean more to the left. We are living in the 21st century. Realize that some men love other men. Understand that women need more access to birth control, because sometimes condoms aren't enough. I mean, you don't want to end up overpopulated like China, right?

The GOP needs a revamp. A makeover.

A fresh face. And no, the Tea Party was certainly not the change I had in mind.

As a college student, I'm torn. I don't believe in either party’s views at the moment, despite the inspiring presidential inauguration that took place Monday. Sure, we've come a long way since the days of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., but we still have a long way to go.

I'm socially liberal, and fiscally conservative. My problem is not that I don't believe in any form of government regulation, it's that I can't believe in Congress' inability to compromise.

Meet somewhere in the middle, guys.

I was raised by conservative Cuban par-

ents. On the day I passed my driver's license test, I registered to vote as a member of the Republican Party. I even worked for a Republican Congresswoman one summer.

Surely, there are some conservative values I'm sure many young Americans like myself will always hold close to heart. Americans shouldn't depend on government aid in order to attain the American Dream. If you want to reach a goal, work hard for it. Don't make excuses for your inability to succeed.

I mean, it's not like Canada is known for its fabulous work ethic with its socialist policies.

We became the great United States because we sweat to succeed. Don't depend on Uncle Sam to help you climb the corporate ladder.

Still, the GOP is in desperate need of an update. Listen to Beyonce; move a bit to the left.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Jan. 24 - Jan. 27, 2013

Bowl ban dampens Cane pride he only way to salvage the long, excruciating 90-degree Miami winter, is to have the University of Miami beat down some hopeless team in a bowl game. Yeah right.

UM’s administraKYLE RAMBO CONTRIBUTING tion put a bowl ban on COLUMNIST the football team for the second year in a row.

So instead of cheering on the green and orange to victory, the most excitement Canes fans had this bowl season was watching the Gators lose in the Sugar Bowl, which was actually pretty satisfying.

It isn’t like Miami had an amazing team this year, but I would have rather become a couch bum and watched them have a chance to win the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl rather than go to Santa’s Enchanted Forrest for the 18th time. It’s not that I don’t like that ghetto North Pole, it’s just that I feel like I will either die from falling off a ride, or die from a disease I catch from not wiping off the seat of the ferris wheel before I sit down.

If the U didn’t ban themselves from the postseason they would have had a shot at the ACC Championship and even a BCS Bowl berth. Instead, all South Florida and Miami fans are forced to hear about how great it is that Alabama and Notre Dame played for a title in our backyard. As much as I love Nick Satan … I mean Saban, there’s a part of me that wishes I didn’t have to type in “2002 National Championship” on YouTube to see the Hurricanes in a big game.

But, I can’t complain that much. I would take the sunny beaches of South Florida over the frozen wasteland of Indiana and the tumbleweeds of Alabama any day. That may be a little overdramatized. I haven’t been to either of those places. By now, this must sound like an obnoxious fan whose team doesn’t have anything worth bragging about in the past 10 years – so basically a Notre Dame fan before this season.

So while I watched the Little Caesars Bowl game between two colleges that have a total combined enrollment of 800 students, I hoped for next season. In just one year, all of Al Golden’s ties will be freshly dry-cleaned, and hopefully the 60-year-old Ray Lewis will inspire the team to play like the old days.

There is hope for Hurricane football in 2013, but for now I’ll just sit here with my spiked eggnog and relive the glory days.

There is a good chance Larry Coker and Ken Dorsey are doing the same thing.

This year promises to be full of highly anticipated releases, ranging from familiar sequels to groundbreaking originals. To help you navigate through the crowded listings, here are some of our picks for the movies you should keep an eye out for in 2013.

“Only God Forgives” March 28 Director Nicolas Winding Refn follows up his critically acclaimed “Drive” (2011) with another film starring Ryan Gosling. The story follows a gangster exiled to Thailand who seeks revenge against a Bangkok police lieutenant, likely sticking with the stylized violence that made “Drive” so successful.

“The Place Beyond the Pines” March 29 Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper star in this powerful crime drama (also featuring University of Miami’s own Ray Liotta). Directed by Derek Cianfrance (“Blue Valentine”), the film is about a motorcycle stunt rider who takes to robbing banks as a way of providing for his newborn son, putting him at odds with a young cop and his corrupt police department. This looks to be an emotionally compelling story and a nice step in the evolution of Cooper’s booming career.

“The Great Gatsby” May 10

DESIGN BY AMILYNN SOTO

Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of the 1925 novel will star Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. Originally scheduled to premiere Christmas Day, the film was pushed back due to what was probably a conflict with “Django Unchained,” another DiCaprio film. The trailer suggests a modernized feel that might deviate from the novel, but Luhrmann’s

vision will certainly put a unique perspective on this classic story.

“The Hangover Part III” May 24 The final installment of Todd Phillips’ series will see a return of the main, original cast members. Plot details are sparse, but the film is said to involve some type of road trip undertaken by the wolfpack. Although “Part II” showed a disappointing lack of originality, it will be hard to miss the finale of a franchise that has become so engrained in American pop culture.

“This is the End” June 14 A dense cast of comedy all-stars play themselves in this story about a group of celebrities who must survive a sudden apocalypse while at a party at James Franco’s house.

Other actors include Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jason Segel and many more. Rogen co-wrote and directed with Evan Goldberg, the team behind “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express.”

“Man of Steel” June 14 This reboot of the “Superman” franchise will star Henry Cavill, Russell Crowe and Amy Adams. The film appears to portray Clark Kent in a darker and more humanistic tone than previous installments, which could be a compelling approach that makes this stand out from the assembly line of other superhero flicks.

“Anchorman: The Legend Continues” Dec. 20 This highly anticipated sequel to the 2004 hit comedy will see the entire original cast returning (Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, etc.), as well as a rumored appearance

by Kristen Wiig. With only a teaser trailer released so far, the subject of the film is still largely a mystery, but for true fans of the original, it might not really matter.

“The Wolf of Wall Street” TBD 2013 With a familiar pairing of director Martin Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio (“The Departed,” “Shutter Island,” etc.), this film is an adaptation of Jordan Belfort’s memoir of the same name. DiCaprio stars as a ruthless stockbroker whose outrageous success of the ‘90s is mired by charges of security fraud and money laundering. Actor Jonah Hill will also play a major role, an interesting departure from his usual comedic tendencies.

SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION

Hollywood film crew trains UM students

BY LYSSA GOLDBERG ASSISTANT EDITOR

University of Miami motion pictures students were exposed to a piece of Hollywood while working with filmmaker Robert Townsend.

Townsend is an actor, writer and director who has produced films including “Hollywood Shuffle,” “The Five Heartbeats” and “The Meteor Man.” He has also worked with stars like Halle Berry, Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington.

Production on the film, “Playin’ for Love,” took place across Miami this December and January. Beyond the professionals, the production crew for the basketball-centric romantic comedy included about 20 UM students and additional high school students from the Overtown community, a low-income area of Miami.

“Everyone won on this. I found it a very nice collaboration,” said Ed Talavera, director of the Department of Cinema and Interactive Media.

Noah DeBonis, who is pursuing his master’s in motion pictures, assisted with lighting on set. He saw it as an exciting opportunity to work alongside a legend like Townsend.

“Watching people do their work helps you see the way that they do things, and you learn from that,” he said.

With dozens of students expressing interest in the project, applicants were asked to

submit an essay explaining how they would benefit. Brittany Hickey, a junior majoring in motion pictures and advertising, was one of the students chosen.

“I said that I came from a small countrytown in Michigan, and this opportunity was one in a million for me personally,” she said.

Townsend saw the project as beneficial exposure for the participants.

“The students are getting a real taste of Hollywood and film production,” Townsend said to the School of Communication. “Everybody is learning and they’re seeing how many different jobs there are in making a movie and what it really takes to make it happen.”

Townsend cared about the filmmaking project being an optimal educational experience for the people involved, Hickey said.

“You’d get on the set and he’d know you by name,” she said. “He was fun to be around.”

Hickey’s favorite day on set was shooting the basketball sequences in the gym.

“The crowd was going crazy. There was so much energy in the gym,” she said. “You got to see how an action sequence actually works.”

High school students from Overtown also worked on set. Because the movie is about a high school basketball team, some of them also acted in the basketball scenes, according to Talavera.

DeBonis said the Overtown students seemed very excited to be working on the project.

PHOTO COURTESY OF JENNY ABREAU FILMING FRENZY: University of Miami students worked with a Hollywood film crew on Robert Townsend’s shoot on Jan. 12. The film, “Playin’ for Love,” was filmed in Overtown.

“Everyone was really gelling together, and it was a cool process,” he said. “It was cool to see the kids loving being able to do this because they’ve never seen anything like this before.”

Simply by being there with the professionals, Hickey felt she learned much more in the span of a month than she could have in an en-

tire semester of school.

“School can teach you the basics, but you can’t understand the real way it works in a motion picture unless you’re there doing it hands on,” Hickey said.

MUSIC REVIEW

Singer-songwriter Megan Cox shines on debut album

BY NICKY DIAZ COPY CHIEF

If I had to describe Megan Cox’s album “W” in one word, it would have to be organic. The arrangements and lyrics are complex yet it doesn’t seem like Cox is trying too hard. None of the tracks on the album feel forced; it all f lows. Plus, it’s been a while since I heard great lyrics.

Cox truly delivers on her debut album. The music and lyrics – done by Cox herself – are f lawless. Think Fiona Apple and Marie Digby. It’s one of those rare albums that you can listen to all the way through.

Of course, some tracks shine through more than others. “W” opens with “Knee Deep (an epilogue),” one of the strongest tracks on the album.

Another song that shines on the record is “Circle.” The strings, the piano, 8

the crescendo of the percussion … it all provides a solid foundation for Cox’s voice. “Simple math, this path in the woods ain’t one/Unkempt, less traveled, threadbare, unraveled, undone,” she sings.

“A Pair of Shoes and a Mind” is one of the more up-tempo tracks on “W.” She tells listeners that they “can get anywhere if you got the time/all you need is a pair of shoes and a mind.” It’s worth the listen, but the next track, “Knight,”

outshines it. The mood that the strings and percussion set in “Knight” is unparalleled on the rest of the album. It’s probably the best track on “W.” She closes the album with “Don’t Wanna Be Loved (By You),” which showcases her strong vocals more than any other track on the album. After listening through the entire album, this song is the one that gets to me. It highlights the fact that the music that gets plays on the radio is overproduced. Music should involve meaningful lyrics and a powerful arrangement. It should be organic and made with instruments, not a computer.

Cox’s music shows a maturity that popular songs like T-Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” just don’t have.

Her sound is interesting – maybe experimental is a better word. Cox is not scared to venture out of the safe zone that most artists get trapped in. Not

NCAA enforcement staff under scrutiny

BY SPENCER DANDES ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

Members of the NCAA enforcement staff who sought information about the alleged improper benefits scandal at the University of Miami now face an investigation into their own conduct.

On Wednesday, the NCAA placed its investigation into the Miami athletic department on hold, and will turn its attention to the association’s own staff.

Several former employees apparently worked with the criminal defense attorney for Nevin Shapiro to obtain information during an unrelated bankruptcy proceeding.

Shapiro, a rogue UM booster who said he doled out thousands of impermissible benefits to several dozen athletes, prompted the NCAA to launch an investigation nearly two years ago.

The NCAA does not have subpoena power, meaning the information it gained through Shapiro’s attorney would not have been otherwise accessible.

“To say the least, I am angered and saddened by this situation,” NCAA President Mark Emmert said during a national teleconference Wednesday afternoon. “Trust and credibility are essential to our regulatory tasks. My intent is to ensure our investigatory functions operate with integrity and are fair and consistent with our member schools, athletics staff and most importantly our student-athletes.”

Similarly, UM President Donna E. Shalala released a statement to express her discontent.

“Since the University first alerted the NCAA to the possibility of violations more than two years ago, we have been cooperative and compliant with the NCAA and, I believe,

a model for how institutions should partner with NCAA staff during investigations,” the statement read. “I am frustrated, disappointed and concerned by President Emmert’s announcement today that the integrity of the investigation may have been compromised by the NCAA staff.”

Emmert will move forward with an external review of the enforcement committee’s actions.

He has reportedly commissioned a law firm that specializes in corporate investigations to address these latest developments.

The news of the NCAA’s own misconduct comes on the tail of last week’s report that UM could soon receive a notice of allegations.

Individuals who are eventually hit with allegations will have an opportunity to respond before any sanctions are handed out.

Emmert acknowledged that the NCAA’s improper conduct will exJan. 24 - Jan. 27, 2013

tend the lengthy investigation by several weeks.

“We have to go through all of the evidence to determine what has and has not been appropriately collected and inf luenced by improper conduct,” he said.

He emphasized that the overall integrity of the investigation will not be compromised.

“The single most important issue of fairness for me is that we make sure that any allegations brought forward are based on good, sound information that was gathered through appropriate means,” Emmert said. “We’re going to move [forward] as fast as possible, but we just have to get this right.’’

Johnson returns in 90-63 blowout win over No. 1 Duke Canes remain undefeated in ACC

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Jan. 24 - Jan. 27, 2013

In their history, the Hurricanes were only 3-15 against Duke. In their history, the Hurricanes were 0-6 against teams ranked No. 1 in the country. In their history, the Hurricanes had never started off undefeated through five conference games.

On Wednesday night, the Hurricanes had no regard for history. With a sold-out crowd of 7,972 on hand for a visit from the top-ranked Blue Devils, Miami put on its most inspired performance of the season. The Canes dominated from the start, overwhelming Duke 90-63 in the biggest regular season game in recent memory.

“Our guys were very well prepared tonight,” head coach Jim Larranaga said. “We had a week between Boston College and tonight, and we needed it, first to give our guys some needed rest because we were a little bit beat up. It also gave us a chance to prepare the way we needed to play tonight, defensively and offensively.”

There was a noticeable buzz on campus as students camped outside the BankUnited Center the day before the game, and there were big expectations for a Miami team that cracked the top 25 for the first time since 2010 this past week.

Defense dominated the first 10 minutes of the opening half, with both teams keeping the score within one possession either way. That is, until a 3-point shot from senior guard Durand Scott opened the floodgates.

The Hurricanes took a 16-14 lead and never looked back, riding a 25-1 scoring run that made the halftime score an overwhelming 42-19 in Miami’s favor.

“Not much to say after that. Men and boys. They were men, we were boys,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We expected them to be terrific, and we have to match terrific and then have a terrific game. What you had was a terrific win for Miami, but not a terrific game. We didn’t hold our end of the bargain.”

Senior center Reggie Johnson was not expected to play, as he continues to recover from a broken thumb suffered in December. But Johnson surprised everyone in the arena, dressing and participating in team drills beforehand. Just moments before tipoff,

it was announced he would play.

Johnson checked in a few minutes into the first half as the home crowd erupted in cheer for their veteran leader. He finished with two points and five rebounds in 16 minutes.

“He called me this morning and was basically jumping through the phone,” Larranaga said. “He was so excited to tell me that the doctors had cleared him to play. Quite honestly, I didn’t think he was going to be ready until sometime in February.”

Two other Miami seniors, Durand Scott and Kenny Kadji, led the scoring for the Hurricanes with 25 and 22 points, respectively. As a team Miami shot 56.9 percent from the floor, including nine 3-point shots. Defensively, the Canes limited Duke to 29.7 percent shooting, including just 19 points in the first half.

Sixth-year senior Julian Gamble also had a big game, contributing 10 rebounds in 24 minutes. Miami gained a 49-41 total rebounding advantage over Duke.

The Blue Devils started the second half looking to cut the deficit, scoring 10 points in the first four minutes to spark a brief run. But on this particular night, Miami’s offense would not be denied.

A deep 3-pointer by Shane Larkin extended Miami’s lead to 30 with just over 12 minutes remaining. The sophomore guard finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds in 36 minutes.

“Some teams come out in the second half flat and think they have the game won, but we stayed with the same energy in the second half,” he said. “We played great the whole game.”

Larkin appreciated the hundreds of fans who spent hours in line.

“I don’t know how you can sit outside for a basketball game for that long,” he said. “That made me want to win for them even more.”

Miami will look to extend its unbeaten conference record as they take on Florida State at the BankUnited Center on Sunday night. The game is slated for a 6 p.m. start.

Despite the historic win, the Canes say they’ll be ready when the Seminoles come into town.

“Coach is going to make sure of that. That was the first thing he said in the locker room,” Johnson said. “He said enjoy the night. Friday, Saturday and Sunday be ready to get work in.

I think we’re ready for that. It’s a bigtime win for us, but we stay humble.”

dear ...

Dear V: My TA gave me an A+ in bed...

, I never thought I was going to be the girl that did what I just did. Last night, I slept with my TA, and now I don’t have feelings for him. I think it was the rush of doing something so naughty and inappropriate. The problem is that he thinks that we’re serious, and I don’t want to pursue anything serious at the moment. What should I do?

My So-Called Scandal Tangoed with a TA, I apologize in advance for my candidness, but you screwed the TA! I don’t understand why you’re not more excited. The prospect of someone older and more sophisticated (well, it’s all relative) would make any girl

want to take the same course twice to gaze into the eyes of her beloved. And if it is a large lecture hall, you don’t even have to register for the class again. That sounds like a plan to me.

But once you delve into the waters of the TA, there may not be the chance of turning back. The species Teachurious Assiantea focuses on academics and has aspirations of surviving the dark world of graduate school. They see themselves as undergraduate mentors in preparatory habitats in order to survive the harsh winters of master theses and later Ph.D. proposals.

And some undergraduate TAs have to make the most of their few months before graduating, because bad sex with a curious undergrad may give them a reason to apply to law school (yes, I just went there).

Fortunately, most TAs are so absorbed in their work that they may feel similarly about meaningless sex. The two of you had fun and then watched reruns of “Fringe” or the “The X-Files,” a favorite pastime of Assiantea.

i But you have to watch for the clingy ones. That breed takes every comment and word so seriously that precautions must be followed. Make sure to ask whether the TA wants a relationship or a renewal of their month-long times without sex. In all cases, follow some zombie apocalypse guidelines online or at your local visitors center to start prepping for these moments.

My best advice is to talk to him and explain that you’re not ready for a committed relationship and you can’t watch the season finale of “Fringe.” Otherwise, you may have to resort to drastic measures like dropping the class or ignoring him.

I really hope he doesn’t have a hold on your grade because that might not help you get into law school where you’ll have to litigate out of this one. Who knows? You might also find him there.
