STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI IN CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA, SINCE 1929

BREAKING NEWS

Police investigate stolen car

WELLNESS CENTER

Misuse of new flooring getting costly Students now pay for multipurpose rooms

BY JONATHAN BORGE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Since the reveal of the Wellness Center ’s 420,000-square-foot expansion last February, the multipurpose rooms on the second floor have experienced substantial damage and must undergo repair. Made of soft maple wood, the floors can be easily bruised and marked by jump ropes, broomsticks, tap dancing shoes and nails, a result of overuse and guideline violations.

According to Al Rose, assistant director of facilities, the floors are built with multiple layers, each of which can be sanded to fix them. However, continuous misuse of each layer ultimately leads to the entire floor ’s replacement, a move that can come with a $50,000 price tag. As of now, the Wellness Center has paid $9,700 for resurfacing of the floor ’s upper layer.

Because of this, a majority of the Wellness Center ’s rooms are now locked and can only be accessed with a reservation. Reserving a multipurpose room costs students $30 an hour, a fee that many student organizations are not accustomed to paying.

UM Band of the Hour sparks school spirit Ensemble aims to involve crowd

BY LYSSA GOLDBERG CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

The tune of “I Will Survive ” rang out from the football field during halftime at Saturday ’s home opener against Ohio State, courtesy of the Band of the Hour.

Leading a crowd of over 66,000 people in a round of karaoke, this marked the group ’s new plan to garner increased participation at football games for the 2011 season.

Led by director Thomas Keck, the band performed popular singa-long songs, such as “American Pie, ” “Piano Man ” and “Hey Jude ” while lyrics appeared on the scoreboard video screens.

“This year, it ’s all about getting everyone in the stands involved in what we ’re doing during the halftime show, ” sophomore drum major Taylor Rambo said.

While the music may have gotten students excited for the game, it also served another purpose that is central to the action on the field.

“The band represents our school spirit, ” said junior Yifan Zhang, who attended several homes games last year. “So if the band is playing it gives the team a lot of support and it makes the students more lively. ” Stephen Yip, assistant band

captain, explained that the band members are truly getting the job done while playing in the stands and distracting the opposing team.

“We play when we ’re on defense, ” Yip said. “We create noise.

We try to focus a lot more on getting students to jump, sing and dance. ” The band ’s first step toward more crowd participation was the karaoke method, Rambo said. His only concern is that it may take

“Hopefully this year we ’ll be able to break through to the students better than we have ever before, ” he said.

It seems that students have begun to catch on.

“Whenever I go to games, people will tell me to stay for the halftime show because they say it ’ll be really cool, ” Zhang said.

However, freshman Lindsey Bergholz thought the band should have better publicized its karaoke idea in order to connect with the audience.

“Unless you were really observant, you probably didn ’t notice, ” said Bergholz, who attended the Ohio State game. “If people were singing, it was more like, ‘Oh, I know this song! ’ than them reading the lyrics. ”

LIFE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PARK

Research facility opens first phase

Facebook grows into complex, secure network

Critics demand benefits, equity

BY CHELSEA KIMMEY ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

The first phase of UM ’s Life Science and Technology Park, which has been six years in the making, had its grand opening Tuesday morning.

Three hundred guests from the Miller School of Medicine and other UM communities, as well as local civic leaders, gathered at the ceremony in the 242,000-square-foot facility in Overtown.

“This is a place where education, research and technology intersect with discovery and innovation, ” President Donna E. Shalala said during the event. “This is the home of future cures and treatments for some of the most vexing and chronic health problems we face as a nation and in the world.

This is an economic incubator with global outreach. ” The building is the first of five potential medical and engineering research spaces that UM plans to build in Miami ’s Health District, an area adjacent to the medical campus along Interstate 95.

The park ’s labs and offices will centralize the innovative developments by

For instance, start-up companies can rent spaces to test the commercial viability of their discoveries. There is already a 60 percent tenant occupancy.

SUPPORTED: Executive Director of the UM Life Science and Technology Park Marcelo Radice speaks to a crowded lobby of supporters of the new innovative park.

quickly than ever before, ” said Pascal Goldschmidt, senior vice president for medical affairs of UHealth and the Dean of the Miller School of Medicine, during the event.

The park, according to administration, will also build jobs, a contentious problem in Florida, where the unemployment rate is 10.7 percent.

This first phase of the park is intended to create more than 1,150 direct and indirect jobs, with an additional 2,700-plus direct and indirect positions created by ongoing operations, according to a recent study by the Washington Economics Group published in the Miami Herald.

Despite the anticipation for a promising future at the facility, some Overtown residents and UM students have tirelessly protested the project.

“They ’re using public money to build this research facility here, ” said junior Javier Figueroa, a member of Students Towards A New Democracy (STAND). “I think they should be giving

something back to the community. ” About 30 people from activist groups, including STAND, the Overtown Alliance and PowerU, protested outside the opening ceremony asking the university to negotiate and sign a “Community Benefits Agreement. ” STAND says that the document, which the organization has been asking UM to sign since summer 2009, will help historic Overtown in its struggle with poverty.

Bill Diggs, the president and CEO of the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce, supported the protestors democratic right to demonstrate, but feels that the university has done enough to help the community.

“We ’ve got black firms that have participated in construction, ” he said.

“They have worked directly with the leading black organization for economic development in this community to make sure that there is inclusion. They ’ve already committed to a program to create jobs for the people living within this area. ” Sept. 22 - Sept. 25, 2011

Think Facebook is more confusing every day? Well, it may be a good thing.

Additional privacy options and settings are being introduced weekly. Only two weeks ago, Facebook launched an innovative way of organizing your friends. According to The Washington Post, “The network is also rolling out ‘close friends ’ and ‘acquaintances, ’ lists that you control and that affect what shows up in your news feed. ” Now, that person you met last Friday who somehow figured out your last name after a two-minute conversation can be categorized as an acquaintance so you don ’t need to read their constant status updates when you can barely remember who they are. Facebook is no longer a simple social networking system; it is becoming extensively more secure and branching beyond its basic format.

What will Facebook do next? The answer: Free music. CNET affirms that companies such as Spotify, MOG, Rhapsody, Soundcloud, Rdio, Deezer and Vevo are all tagging their music to be Facebook compatible. The new service is set to launch later this month and will allow about 750 million users to listen to free music.

What ’s the catch? There is none.

Facebook is opening its network for people to freely enjoy music. The real issue may result from the companies not wanting music to be completely free.

Facebook may be forced to have more advertisements during music streaming to appease their music partners.

We all know Facebook is the ultimate procrastinating outlet and music will only enhance its power. I predict that companies such as Pandora and Netf lix will soon be streaming through Facebook because the network is becoming more competitive and universal. According to PC World, “If the integration race keeps up, soon we can stay logged on indefinitely and never have to leave. ” We can now subscribe to certain people, categorize friends and soon we ’ll be able to listen to music. Maybe next we ’ll be taking our finals on Facebook, too.

Clubs frustrated by new fees DAMAGE FROM PAGE 1 Typically, officially registered student organizations would rent a room for long practices or a series of tryouts, but would use the free, open rooms for shorter, spontaneous rehearsals.

Without a reservation, any member of the Wellness Center could also use the free room, but organizations are now forced to rent out the entire space just for themselves.

Dance organizations in particular are now having difficulty finding practice and rehearsal space, often resorting to off-campus facilities with less expensive rates.

The University Center ballrooms are sometimes used as an alternative space, though the lack of mirrors, f loor tiles and tight scheduling discourages these organizations from using them.

“We ’re just really mad because we ’re an official Miami organization and we can ’t use the room to practice for UM events that we have to perform at, ” said Tayler White, public relations chair of Miami Ballroom. “We ’re forced to go elsewhere to find a practice space that is not made for our shoes and doesn ’t have mirrors. There ’s nowhere else on campus that has a wood f loor and mirrors. ” Several of these organizations, including Miami Ballroom, Miami Motion and KAOS, are uniting to write a letter to the Wellness Cen-

“If the Wellness Center doesn ’t hear us out we ’re hoping the university will, ” White said. “Just in the past we ’ve talked to so many people and they ’re really strict, so we ’re thinking of bringing this to the board or the president. ” Similarly, KAOS uses the mirrors in the multipurpose rooms to improve their skills.

“We ’re not even practicing in there anymore because it ’s not in our budget to pay $30 for an hour, ” KAOS President Julianne Aerhee said. “Most of our practices are two hours, which would be $60 for

Conservation research makes waves

KATIE SIKORA // The Miami Hurricane

SHARK TALE: Christine Shepherd holds the line on a female nurse shark during a field day off the coast of Key Largo.

Shepherd is the multimedia specialist at the R.J. Dunlap Marine Conservation Program affiliated with the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.

The conservation program aims to conduct research with sharks in South Florida using methods that will keep them alive. Every time a shark is caught, blood samples are taken, as are length measurements and fin clips, and then they are set free.

The mission of the R.J. Dunlap Marine Conservation Program is to advance marine conservation by combining cutting edge research and outreach activities.

Keep calm, build on If you ’re a Miami resident, especially if you drive, just hearing the word “construction ” is enough to have you running in the opposite direction.

For many South Florida drivers, road construction has been the norm since the moment they got behind the wheel. The Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) has been under construction for longer than most people care to think about, with completion scheduled for 2015; U.S. 1 frequently closes its lanes – as if its traffic isn ’t already a nightmare. Miami drivers already have a reputation for being reckless and the congestion caused by road construction only makes things worse.

Sometimes it seems like a ton of money is being spent on projects that are not getting anything accomplished. Miami-Dade County is the site of about 40 ongoing construction projects, including roads, bridges and tunnels. There are countless lists and figures on new building projects to accommodate a rising population. However, when people don ’t have money to spend, it seems ridiculous to be paying for new traffic circles in residential areas.

Construction can be a pain even here on

.

campus, but the new Student Activity Center is an exception, showing that construction can in fact be beneficial. We might have to walk the long way around the lake for two years, but when the dirt clears and the trucks depart, we ’ll be left with a new facility. Instead of borrowing Sun Life Stadium from the Dolphins, the Marlins will soon have a high-tech baseball stadium to play in; Downtown Coral Gables will open luxury condominiums; CitiCentre, a new urban neighborhood of Brickell high rises, will change the Miami skyline. Although construction might be a pain now, it is merely a temporary inconvenience that will prove beneficial in the long run.

And when the roads are finished, there will hopefully be less traffic and fewer headaches. We can dream, right?

Things have to get worse before they can get better. Miami has new things on the horizon; in the meantime, we just have to approach the continual construction with a “no pain, no gain ” mentality.

I find it funny how often we subconsciously use the word “home. ” I have been at Miami for about three weeks now, and I already refer to my tiny dorm room in Hecht as my home. Yes, it is my living space for the next year, but it is not the comfy mattress that naturally forms to my body from 18 years of sleeping in the same position, or the room where countless sleepovers have been hosted and Red Sox games were watched.

The Grace of Your Love

New York City's The Rapture have served as America's equivalent to Franz Ferdinand and Phoenix for several decades now. The group's latest foray into the dance-punk genre is arguably their most polished, retaining the energy of earlier releases, but with much more consistent results. While the discoteque ready "How Deep is Your Love?" is easily the most catchy moment of the album, it is by no means any better than the more brooding, complex songs also offered.

The Rapture

While not as monumental as 2009's “Machine Dreams, ” the latest from this Swedish group is nonetheless another electro-pop gem. Lead singer Yukimi Nagano's soothingly soulful voice continues to bring a human quality to electronic music that few others are able to reach. Thematically, the album aims to provide commentary on the role of marriage in modern society. The theme skillfully complements the band ’s melancholic sound.

For the first time all year, the Hurricanes (1-1) have practiced under normal conditions - a week with the entire cast of contributors accustomed to the team dynamics.

“The challenge for us this week is getting into our routine, ” head coach Al Golden said. “This game is going to come up quickly for these guys, and there are no doovers. There ’s gotta be urgency here because every other week so far if we didn ’t get it right we had a chance to go back, and we don ’t have that this week. ” Consistency: a breath of fresh air for a team which has enjoyed no such luxury this season. With no additional players coming off suspensions until after the Hurricanes ’ contest against BethuneCookman and sophomore offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson not expected back until next week, Golden and his staff were able to utilize this week of practice for Kansas State to build on top of the lessons learned from their last game against Ohio State.

“All I know is that I ’m grateful to know who we have, and I ’ll leave it at that, ” Golden said. “Like I said after the Maryland game, we had enough talent to win there so certainly I ’m not going to back off of that now that we played better in game two than we did game one, and I ’m hoping that we can get even better this week. ” Kansas State (2-0), coached by stalwart and namesake of their home stadium Bill Snyder, travels to Miami Gardens facing their first true test of the season. The Wildcats do own the nation ’s top-ranked defense,

having allowed only seven points this season, but that fact is a bit of a misnomer when considering the competition. Their previous two opponents were Eastern Kentucky and Kent State, members of the Ohio Valley and MidAmerican conferences, respectively, and combine for a record of 1-6 on the season.

But that is not to say the Wildcats are without playmakers on defense, specifically senior defensive tackle Ray Kibble, a 6-foot-4-inch, 305-lb senior from Houston.

His presence may be the only real test for the Hurricanes ’ offense, and will be the only real threat of thwarting another big performance from Lamar Miller. “[Kibble] is as good as anybody we played last week [against Ohio State], if not better, ” Golden said.

The spotlight on senior quarterback Jacory Harris was dimmed thanks to Lamar Miller ’s 184-yard rushing explosion last week, but only temporarily. Again he faces questions as to why his inaccuracy problems still persist, in regard to the two interceptions he threw against the Buckeyes in his first game of the season.

ACC COMMENTARY

Conference shuffle

MARLENA SKROBE // Photo Editor

WATCHFUL EYE: An ACC official overlooks the OSU huddle during Saturday’s game. The conference recently added Pittsburgh and Syracuse.

The college athletic landscape is changing.

Over the past two years, the talk behind the scenes of both athletic programs and the conferences they are attached to has ERNESTO SUAREZ been whether they are SPORTS EDITOR the right fit for each other.

Last year, the change began with the University of Nebraska deciding to bolt the Big 12 for the Big Ten, and the Pac10 adding Colorado and Utah to become the Pac-12. You could hear the term “super-conference ” being thrown around, alluding to just a handful of new 14-16 team conferences shaping college athletics.

Looking at what has taken place, the ACC decided that it didn ’t want to get left behind and added two new members, Pittsburgh and Syracuse. This move only furthers the prospect of the superconference eventually taking form, and probably sooner rather than later.

But what does this all mean to Miami and the other teams in the ACC? For one, it means that the ACC isn ’t going anywhere; in fact, it is positioning itself to be among the leaders in this movement.

Just a few months ago, there were rumors that the SEC was interested in adding Florida State and Clemson. Rather than risk that, this ensures the ACC remains near the top of the food chain.

“We are constantly evaluating the 12

competitive landscape to ensure the conference ’s viability for years to come, and this, I believe, has staying power, ” ACC Commissioner John Swafford said on a conference call.

Athletically, this essentially makes the ACC the premier conference for collegiate basketball. Pittsburgh and Syracuse are both nationally renowned programs that are always in the mix come March Madness.

For Miami, this only makes it more challenging, as they have yet to play anywhere near the same level as the Pittsburghs, the Dukes or the North Carolinas. However, if they are able to perform well, it would give them that much more credibility as well.

Sadly the same cannot be said about the new football programs, as both teams have struggled on the field for the majority of the past decade. But that in itself may ease the Canes ’ road to the ACC championship, a milestone they have yet to reach since leaving the Big East themselves in 2004.

So for now, the move appears to be a solid one that has the potential to become a monumental one.

Currently at 14 teams, it would not be surprising to see another two added to the ACC in the near future. Reportedly, both the University of Connecticut and Rutgers are interested, and there may be even more potential suitors after the remaining conferences start making their moves.

The landscape of college athletics is on the cusp of a major makeover. Should be fun to see how it all ends up.

Harris unfazed by critics PREVIEW FROM PAGE 11 Though frustrated himself, Miller has stopped caring about the noise surrounding him from media and fans, caring only about the voices most important to him.

“I really don ’t care about what ’s thought about outside. As long as this program still believes in me and still trusts me, I ’m not really worried about it, ” Harris said. “People can say whatever they want to say. [I ’m] still the same person, because I know that those [interceptions] are things that can be corrected if I just do what I ’m told. ” Junior quarterback Collin Klein leads Kansas State in both passing and rushing yards, utilizing his large frame and agility through a spread-option offense. At 6 feet 5 inches tall and 225 pounds, his style of running is not based off of pure speed, but rather his size and vision to keep his offense on track and not make mistakes.

After being listed as the starting defensive end for last Saturday ’s win against Ohio State, senior Adewale Ojomo is tasked with keeping the f leet-footed Klein in check.

Mobile quarterbacks have been a source of frustration for the Hurricane defense in the recent past. Even last game, Buckeye freshman Braxton Miller was able to find

occasional running lanes in a defense that baff led Ohio State throughout most of the game.

But for Ojomo, the key to stopping Klein is elementary.

“He likes to run the ball a lot; he ’s the team ’s leading rusher, ” Ojomo said. “It ’s not difficult [to stop an athletic quarterback], you just have to be disciplined and stay in your pass rush lane to keep him in the pocket. ” In a season of inconsistencies bordering on chaos, there are no remaining hurdles to clear in the foreseeable future – for this week at least.

The players are becoming comfortable with their roles, repertoires are being constructed among the units on the field, and finally for the players and coaches on this team, the game is the focus.

Dear V: Time to max out your V-Card...

Dear “Star Trek ” Enthusiast, , My time in Miami is almost up. I graduate soon and, despite a few female friends in the past, I am still a virgin. Part of it has been by choice, but lately it ’s simply been futility. The burden of my V-Card has gone from a noble cause to a liability. I feel that as I enter the adult world, my lack of experience will make forming serious relationships very difficult. I have no intention of doing anything drastic to relieve myself, but I wonder if doing the deed ASAP would be in my best interest? While 40 is still a ways off, I can ’t help but think it will only get more difficult outside of college. What do you recommend?

Steve Carell Jr.

I understand with all of the time you ’ve spent looking for original “Star Wars ” action figures, the hours each day devoted to learning the language of the Klingons and all of those exciting raids you go on in World of Warcraft, there just isn ’t any time for real life adventures such as sex.

For just a moment, lay your trusty Dungeons and Dragons cards on the Middle Earth and listen to the wise words of Dumbledore.

All kidding aside (unless what I ’ve said is actually true, in which case you need to stop being a “Toys R Us kid ”), being a virgin is nothing to be ashamed of, and whether you remain this way because you have the charm of a blobfish or you ’ve done this by choice, I ’ll do my best to offer my aid.

Being a virgin, any man can recall, is an unmatched internal struggle, but there is some nobility in being a virgin. First of all, you ’ve proven to have an extraordinary amount of self-discipline, and to the ladies, that you ’re not

just some stray cat looking to rut with anything in its path.

In fact, many girls will find your virginity endearing, and the aggressive ones might even engage in a battle for your purity. Remember that women also have a primal side to them and occasionally do enjoy being the hunter.

As far as your “best interest, ” I hate to sound cliche, but only you know what your best interests are in this case.

Remember that the “40-Year-Old Virgin ” is a movie and, while there are certainly men who are 40-year-old virgins, they tend to be the exception to the rule. At some point you ’ll meet a girl, and you ’ll either have sex with her because you were getting your rocks off or because you really care about her. Either way, let your V-Card lose itself, sex is unique in that it ’s one of the few things where the harder you try, the more likely you are to fail. As George Strait says, “It just comes natural. ” If you call the Escort Service, I recommend Coco, V

Police investigate stolen car

WELLNESS CENTER

Misuse of new flooring getting costly Students now pay for multipurpose rooms

BY JONATHAN BORGE ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Since the reveal of the Wellness Center ’s 420,000-square-foot expansion last February, the multipurpose rooms on the second floor have experienced substantial damage and must undergo repair. Made of soft maple wood, the floors can be easily bruised and marked by jump ropes, broomsticks, tap dancing shoes and nails, a result of overuse and guideline violations.

According to Al Rose, assistant director of facilities, the floors are built with multiple layers, each of which can be sanded to fix them. However, continuous misuse of each layer ultimately leads to the entire floor ’s replacement, a move that can come with a $50,000 price tag. As of now, the Wellness Center has paid $9,700 for resurfacing of the floor ’s upper layer.

Because of this, a majority of the Wellness Center ’s rooms are now locked and can only be accessed with a reservation. Reserving a multipurpose room costs students $30 an hour, a fee that many student organizations are not accustomed to paying.
