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

Theater majors perform spooky texts Richter Library site of haunted happenings BY HALEY WALKER CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

NICK GANGEMI // PHOTO EDITOR STACKS GET SCARY: Musical theater major Lily Steven acts out books from the Jackie Gleason Collection, such as “The Encyclopedia of Death,” Wednesday night at Richter Library. The event, titled “Reanimating Spectral Collections,” featured readings of occult texts.

It is only on rare occasions that ghosts, ghouls and goblins occupy the library -- and this Wednesday evening was very rare indeed. The eighth floor of the Richter Library became haunted grounds for one bonechilling night as theater arts students clad in supernatural garb lurked around, reciting macabre monologues from the Jackie Gleason Collection. Texts in this collection brim with all things grim and ghastly, from ghosts and spirits to otherworldly mysteries. Jackie Gleason, an actor and comedian from the 1950s, amassed a library of around 1,700 books on topics concerning life after death and connections with otherworldly dimensions. After Gleason’s death in the late ‘80s, his widow donated the collection to the University of Miami’s Special Collections. Special Collections coordinator Jay Sylvestre explained that this collection of mainly fictional work was meant to entertain. “Whether or not Gleason actually believed in tarot cards and the ability to tell the future, he believed in the thought behind it; he believed that people believed it,” he said. The actors recited only the most thrilling and twisted works, said theater student junior Myanna Berrin. Berrin read a section about a man who lives in a completely normal neighborhood until, at the very last sentence of the last paragraph, it is revealed that the town is crawling with zombies. The abrupt change of events was intentional, Berrin explained. “Our Director, C. Francis, wanted us to cut off right when it gets interesting, so at the end of every piece, we say there is more, but you have to read it yourself,” she said. SEE SPOOKY, PAGE 19

Offices choose to adopt sustainability intiatives GreenU provides opportunities to make environmental impact BY S. MOLLY DOMINICK CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Some of the offices at the University of Miami will be run a little bit greener thanks to the start of the Green Office Certification Program by GreenU. GreenU is a group that works to make UM more ecologically sustainable and teaches the community about sustainability. The program challenges offices around campus to become more ecologically conscious by following a voluntary checklist of recommendations for a greener workplace. The program was officially launched this October. University Sustainability Manager Teddy Lhoutellier initiated and runs the program, with involvement from students, facilities, the Departments of Health and Safety and Finance and Treasury, among others. “Everyone is involved because everyone has a role to play in sustainability,” Lhoutellier said. “Hopefully, the program has a multiplier effect. That’s my goal.” Participation begins when an office expresses interest in applying. From there, an office employee is dubbed the Green Office

Leader to assist with the application and adherence to the green checklist throughout the program, which includes recommendations for the office’s sustainability. The Butler Center is the first organization from Student Life to participate. Leadership Coordinator Randall Seenandan acts as the Green Office Leader and hopes to spread the program throughout the Student Activities Center. “The Butler Center is a very visual office,” Seenandan said. “So if we make the push for it, then eventually it could catch on with everyone else.” The Green Office Leader enrolls in the Sustainability 101 Workshop, which features real-life solutions for creating a greener workplace. Enrollees who also work as employees of the university can earn two Professional Development credits for the course. Through the workshop, all participants train in areas like recycling, water conservation and green outreach. “Outreach is a big one,” said Lhoutellier. “This isn’t only about saving energy. It’s really about being more aware of the impact we have, and building that sustainability mentality on campus.” Leaders incorporate training from the workshop into a 30-minute presentation on sustainability to their office. Once 75 percent of office staff members sign a pledge to become greener after watching the presentation – alongside the signature of the office director – the checklist can begin.

The checklist gives green recommendations for sustainability in the areas of energy, transportation, outreach, water, waste and recycling, purchasing of office materials and printing. It includes green tips like using soy ink when possible and checking Surplus Property and Storage before buying new materials. Surplus takes things from the university like computers, furniture and appliances and sells it for below-market prices, available for purchase by students, staff and the public. “We try to sell it to a user, rather than someone who will put it in a landfill,” said Alberto Ramon, Manager of Surplus Property and Storage. Once the list is complete, Lhoutellier conducts a final audit of the office. This verifies that the office completed the checklist to the best of its ability. For its successful completion of the program, the office is then granted two rewards: a party sponsored by Staples and an official certification for running a green office. There is no time limit to completing the list and becoming green certified. Seenandan said he hopes the Butler Center will not only finish by February, but become the first-ever office to finish. “It’s all self-initiative,” said Seenandan. “If you want to do it, you can do it.” All university offices are eligible for the program. Interested offices can find the Green Office Certification Program application on the GreenU website or email teddyl@miami.edu for more information.

Recycled soap reaches new hands IN-HOUSE SERVICE: Junior Ivan Morales, senior Alejandro Lamas and junior Caleb Castillo, members of the Federacion de Estudiates Cubanos (FEC), assemble hygiene kits during Tuesday’s on-campus service project held in the SAC Activities Room. Students also wrote notes containing words of encouragement to include with the packages. The packages contain recycled soap collected from hotels in the Miami area, as well as shampoo, conditioner, razors and towels. Clean the World, the organization supplying the items, collects and recycles soaps that would otherwise be discarded by hotels. The organization also assists in the distribution of these recycled hygiene products to disadvantaged people. Since its inception in 2009, Clean the World has recycled over 11 million bars of soap and 325,00 pounds of shampoo. GIANCARLO FALCONI // STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Florida lieutenant governor makes surprise visit Political activists encourage voting

ing out voter registration and vote-by-mail forms in the UC Breezeway. After the registration deadline, the club contacted surrounding communities through phone-banking and canvassing. Likewise, Escandell said that UMCR members have been knocking on doors and encouraging a large social media presence. “Most importantly, we have been making conversation with our friends, letting them know how important it is for our future that we elect proven Republican leadership this November,” Escandell said. As Nov. 4 draws nearer, Singh says that efforts “are not slowing down.” The organization will host an Early Voting event on Oct. 30 where students of all political affiliations can avoid the long lines of election day. “We really do want to keep students engaged, and we love to make it as easy as possible for students to get out and vote,” Singh said.

With the Nov. 4 midterm election approaching, the UM College Republicans (UMCR) and UM Young and College Democrats (UMYCD) are connecting with political leaders and hoping to mobilize voters. Most recently, the UMCR held a club meeting Monday night featuring a special guest: Florida Lieutenant Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera. Lopez-Cantera, who graduated from the University of Miami in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, is the first alumnus and first Hispanic to serve as lieutenant governor of Florida. The event was a formal UMCR meeting open only to registered club members, as is the standard for club meetings. The Miami Hurricane was invited to attend. According to Public Relations Chair Olivia Escandell for UMCR, this event came about because some members and alumni of the organization have been working on Gov. Rick Scott’s campaign for re-election. Through this connection, Lopez-Cantera contacted UMCR himself, asking to surprise members at a meeting. “We were very thankful to have him come in as a surprise, speaking to us about the importance of getting involved in politics and voting,” Escandell said. The organization kept Lopez-Cantera’s identity secret for one very simple reason. “We really wanted to have Cantera’s appearance be a big surprise to our members,” Escandell said.

Lopez-Cantera struck a chord with many listeners, including freshman UMCR member Daniel Reyna. “Carlos Lopez-Cantera’s speech was informative and humorous,” Reyna said. “I was surprised to see how down to earth he was and felt that we as Canes could really relate to him.” According to Ishtpreet Singh, President of UMYCD, members of UMYCD have also had the opportunity to meet with big-name political figures, both national and local. At the beginning of the semester, some members met with former President Bill Clinton and gubernatorial candidate

Charlie Crist himself. Members were later introduced to Annette Taddeo, who ran for Lieutenant Governor under Crist. Two weeks ago, some members attended an event that featured First Lady Michelle Obama. While most members of the two political organizations are registered to vote, voter turnout is typically low for collegeaged students. UMCR and UMYCD have made continued efforts to change this and get students to vote in the upcoming midterm. UMYCD has worked “tirelessly” to influence the midterm election, according to Singh. Their efforts began with hand-

Fla. lieutenant governor’s talking points At the meeting held Monday, Florida Lieutenant Governor Carlos LopezCantera stressed the importance of the upcoming midterm election on Nov. 4. “Look at the world: Russia, Israel, Venezuela. Things are not better off than they were four years ago,” LopezCantera said. “Leadership matters. In Florida, leadership matters.” Lopez-Cantera, who is running for re-election in the Republican ticket, also expressed his disapproval of Democratic candidate for Florida governor Char-

lie Crist, describing him as a “joke,” a “clown” and “everything that is wrong with politics” because of Crist’s controversial history of flip-flopping on key issues such as Obamacare and gay marriage. Meanwhile, he endorsed Republican candidate Rick Scott by listing his accomplishments as governor. He said these include successful increase of tourism, Florida’s largest source of revenue, and improved government efficiency.

The lieutenant governor called the governor “a big-hearted guy” with enough wealth not to need a government position, but who continues to run for office because “he cares about the state.” “He hasn’t taken a salary for the four years that he’s been governor,” Lopez-Cantera said. “You won’t read that in a newspaper.” S.

Fraternity alumni may face issues Pi Kappa Alpha’s national leadership to analyze video BY ALEXANDER GONZALEZ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

The UM chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity (Pike) may be dealing with more than its suspension, according to Pike CEO Justin A. Buck. On Thursday, The Miami Hurricane published an article about an online video of an army-themed party titled “Call of Booty” that contained Pike symbols, such as the official flag. At the time of publication, the national branch of Pike, as well as fraternity members who are now considered alumni, did not provide a comment. The next day, however, Buck emailed the national branch’s stance. “As videos are analyzed to identify individuals, expulsion notices will be sent out as will additional legal action regarding the unauthorized use of the Fraternity’s name,” he wrote. Buck also described the “continued actions by former members of the chapter” as “disappointing.” According to reporting conducted for the Hurricane’s initial story, there was not conclusive evidence that the party was officially affiliated with Pike. A Pike alumnus who attended the party and spoke to the Hurricane on the condition of anonymity said that it was not an official Pike event. As a suspended fraternity, Pike is not allowed to participate in any of the events sponsored by Greek organizations on campus. A vimeo.com account Miami Parties uploaded the video at the end of September and has nearly 1,900 views. The party was held near Brickell and features shots of University of Miami students.

Ancient Greek heroine has modern relevance Literature professor sheds new light on old story BY ZISHI WU CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Anastasia Bakogianni presented a fresh take on the nearly 2,500-year-old Greek play “Antigone” Monday at the University of Miami’s Richter Library. Bakogianni, who teaches courses on Greek literature and the reception of classics at the University of London, gave a lecture titled “Antigone: On Stage and Screen,” and described how Sophocles’ titular heroine is still relevant today. “The appeal of Greek tragedy is in its colorful characters and how modern practitioners have brought the stories alive on the modern stage,” she said. In the lecture, Bakogianni contrasted the portrayal of Antigone in the ancient play versus in a 1956 theatrical rendition and in a 1961 Greek film. In Sophocles’ play, Antigone has two brothers named Eteocles and Polyneices. The two kill each other during a civil war for the throne of Thebes. Antigone’s uncle Creon becomes the

new king and decrees that Eteocles will be given the proper burial rites while Polyneices will rot unburied.

Antigone tries to persuade her sister Ismene to help bury Polyneices, but Ismene is a obedient girl who refuses to defy Creon. Determined Anti-

gone decides to single-handedly bury her brother but is caught in the act; for her crime she is buried alive. The play concludes that Antigone could have avoided trouble by obeying male authority like Ismene did. “The ancient audience might have had doubts about Antigone’s behavior,” said Bakogianni. In ancient Greece, women were expected to be subservient to men; hence, the ancient Greek audience would have viewed Antigone’s violation of gender roles as a clear transgression. The 1956 theatrical rendition casts Antigone far more favorably as a brave heroine who, like Joan of Arc and Boudicca, stands up against an authoritarian regime. Antigone came to symbolize democracy and resonated with Greece’s war of independence against the Ottoman Empire, as well as America’s struggle against communist Soviet Russia during the Cold War.

Senior pulls together Homecoming despite pressures Committee chair stays true to tradition, spirit, UM pride BY BRIANNA HERNANDEZ CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

While everyone else was thinking about candy canes and Christmas trees, Homecoming Executive Committee (HEC) Chair Roly Caledrin was already thinking about Alma Mater and O-Cheer. Since December, Calderin and the HEC have been planning this year’s homecoming festivities. Alma Mater and O-Cheer are two University of Miami homecoming traditions. Calderin, a senior, has been involved with homecoming since his first year at UM. He was a member of a competing organization, Association of Commuter Students (ACS), his freshman and sophomore years. He experienced the electricity of being a member of a winning Alma Mater team in 2012. When he was not selected as the program coordinator for Great Start, an event which allows commuter students to spend a weekend staying in the dorms in order to promote unity and involvement, friends prompted Calderin to “just do it” and chair HEC. After some consideration, that is exactly what he did. Willy Herrera, Student Government Vice President, recognized Calderin’s commitment to student life. “One thing that is special about Roly is his selflessness with his involvements,” Herrera said. “He always gives 110% to his involvement and is always willing to make a sacrifice for his team and for things to go well. I can honestly say he loves everything he does on this campus. He wouldn’t do it if he didn’t.” 4

Throughout the planning process, Calderin and the rest of the HEC had an array of responsibilities. They had to contact sponsors, design the event schedule, formulate guidelines for each competition, allocate funds and specify down to last detail how each committee’s activity would be carried out. CALEDRIN According to Calderin, the main obstacle they faced this year was the realization of the magnitude of pressure on them and the stare of the community eye. However, Calderin didn’t let that stop him from giving his all. “Roly Calderin epitomizes spirit and dedication,” said senior Jesus Melendez, ACS and Student Government member. “He’s led an incredible Homecoming staff and I’m so happy of the execution of my last Homecoming at the U.” Calderin was adamant that praise be given to his vice chairs and the committee heads for their dedication and enthusiasm. “Homecoming is the committee,” he said. “It is not me.” One of the biggest decisions about Homecoming is collectively deciding on a theme. This year, the theme is “Animate Your Story.” The choice behind the Pixar theme was carefully weighed. It first survived multiple rounds of cuts and landed a spot in the top three. Each theme was deliberated and then HEC determined which would remain through voting. Once HEC gets down to three themes, committees are asked to incorporate these themes into their respective events. Pixar was the most fully embraced and developed theme.

October 30 - November 2, 2014

According to multiple members of competing fraternities, sororities, and organizations, a big part of Homecoming Week at the U is seeing your organization rack up points and place events in order to showcase spirit levels. While Calderin agrees that the competitions are a great way to represent the spirit of your organization and welcome competition, his greatest hope is that all students, particularly freshman and new students, don’t only think about coming out victorious. He wants students to realize the importance of tradition and togetherness at the University of Miami. “We are all ‘Canes,” Calderin said. “We all bleed orange green.” When asked about his favorite homecoming event, Calderin replied, “Oh definitely Alma Mater. I feel that it is something unique to UM.” This year’s Alma Mater finals are being held Thursday morning on the Rock. Calderin asserted that Homecoming is about tradition and pride. It is about friendship and creating memories. Senior Daniel Diaz shares many memories with Calderin dating back to freshman year and the Great Start program. “The number one thing that I will always respect about Roly is that he’s remained true to himself,” Diaz said. “What I value the most is the fact that he only takes on positions and roles that he is most passionate about. These positions bring the best out in people and it’s definitely brought the best out of Roly.” Visit the UMHomecoming page on Facebook to stay in-theknow about upcoming events and check out the link to the point tracking website to stay updated about organization standings.

Class offers chance to honor survivors Participants create Holocaust memoirs BY JORI GROSSMAN CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

As the time gap between the Holocaust and the present widens, the University of Miami’s Holocaust Survivors Support Internship Program (HSSIP) aims to raise awareness, educating students on the Holocaust by pairing them with survivors. The two semester program matches thirty survivors with a maximum of forty students. The students meet with their individual survivors a minimum of four times a semester. “They learn in general about the events of the Holocaust, but through a very specific lens - the one of their survivor,” said Mindy Hersh, one of the course’s two instructors. Students then write journal entries about their visits to the survivors, which helps them reflect upon that day’s meeting. “The internship is an intensive service learning experience. It is a pretty intense experience and there are a lot of moving parts to it,” Hersh said. “Students from all backgrounds, from all majors, Jewish and not Jewish, come in with an interest in history, in relationships, the aging, and the elderly.” Senior Becky Taylor, currently in her second semester of the internship, said taking the class has given her insight from a primary source on a topic that she hasn’t been able to discuss with her relatives.

“Discussing the Holocaust with them was like bringing up the elephant in the room,” she said about talking with her relatives. Through the program, Taylor was paired with survivor Riva Rosenblatt. Rosenblatt had to live in the forest to avoid being captured – which meant placement in a concentration camp, death, or both. “Mrs. Rosenblatt’s late husband was a survivor from a camp, with a number,” Taylor said. “She was never in a camp. She was hiding in the forest with her family.” Rosenblatt’s tribulations underscore why survivors participate in the internship. “She sees it very much as a responsibility and obligation to pass on the stories of her family and of her husband’s family to the younger generation to make them aware of what transpired during the Holocaust,” said Taylor. Survivors like Alex Gross do not sugarcoat their testimonials with students. “It was torturous, totally inhumane,” said Gross. “When I went in [to a concentration camp] I was five feet seven inches. When I came out, I was less than five feet tall. Instead of weighing 170 pounds, I weighed 80 pounds when I was liberated.” He further stated that, “They killed my beloved mother and father, oldest brother. I lost six uncles, six aunts, forty first cousins.” By telling students about their experiences, survivors like Gross and Rosenblatt provide a clear link to the past that can help shape future generations. The internship also consists of several enrichment sessions through the Sue

and Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies. During these sessions, speakers such as Jacob Solomon, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, hold discussions with students on topics like the global rise of anti-Semitism. At the end of the course, students present their survivors with mementos of the time they have spent together. Students write Tribute Letters and Biographical Overviews for their survivors during their first semesters, and Legacy Projects during their second semesters. According to the class syllabus, a Legacy Project is a “creative or researchoriented endeavor intended to serve as a tangible gift to leave with your survivor at the end of your time in the program. Legacy Projects may be the result of a joint effort between you and your survivor or independently conceived and executed.” The syllabus elaborates on the many forms Legacy Projects can take: “a journal album, photo project, video recording, or cookbook, for example – and should be of consequence and meaning to both of you [the student and survivor].” According to Hersh, being able to interact with survivors provides students a completely different experience than learning about the Holocaust in a classroom environment. Students learn about the Holocaust and themselves on a more intimate level by participating in the internship. “Without exaggeration, for the students who take this class, this class becomes the most important experience that they have at the University of Miami,” Hersh said.

Interested in the Holocaust Survivors Service Internship, but can’t take part? Here are some academic service-learning courses that incorporate civic engagement. EPS 321: Understanding Human Service Organizations Focuses on community-based service organizations in society and the history of such organizations that provide services, support and advocacy in communities. The course reviews the systems, cultures, structures and processes of community organizations to promote well-being in communities. The course has a 10 hour field research experience. SPA 340: Migration Studies This course covers topics including the literary and cultural components of migration in the Spanishspeaking world. AMS 350: History and Culture of South Florida Uses a multidisciplinary perspective to review the history and culture of South Florida. EPS 361: Community Psychology & Development Course topics include using community psychology to prevent psychosocial problems and to promote mental health and well being through just social settings, neighborhoods, communities and societies.

Gun law exception sacriﬁces safety A feminist critic scheduled to speak at Utah State University on the week of Oct. 16 cancelled her engagement after receiving death threats to which the university was insufficiently equipped to respond. As Tim Vitale, Utah State’s executive director of public relations and marketing, told The Chronicle of Higher Education, the university responded immediately to the threat, heightening security for speaker Anita Sarkeesian’s lecture by sweeping the room for explosives and installing additional law enforcement in the room. However, it could not fulfill Sarkeesian’s request for metal detector screenings and a temporary ban on concealed weapons because the Utah’s gun laws allow individuals with concealed carry permits to bring their weapons on university campuses. Utah State’s inability to make students and guests feel safe demonstrates an alarming flaw in U.S. legal codes with the potential to affect even those college campuses where firearms are currently prohibited. The Gun Free School Zones Act forbids the possession of a firearm in, on the grounds of or within 1,000 feet of a public, pri-

vate or parochial school. However, this federal law does not apply to gun holders with concealed carry licenses. Some states have taken additional measures to address this limitation, but for the most part, these restrictions have grown increasingly lax. The exemption of concealed carriers to this law violates an individual’s reasonable expectation of safety in an academic institution. With no credible evidence to suggest that the presence of guns on campus reduces violence, stricter legal measures are necessary to ensure that school campuses remain firearm-free. At first glance, there seems to be no reason to believe that college campuses deserve special treatment, that concealed weapons carriers should be banned from universities but not, for example, from supermarkets. However, college students are at a particularly high risk for mental illness. According to the American College Health Association, 31.2 percent of all college students surveyed in 2013 reported feeling so depressed that it was difficult to function at some point in the past 12 months. Suicide, which accounts for 61 percent of all firearm fatalities in the U.S., is nine out of 10 times

committed by a mentally ill person, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). In light of these statistics, campuses warrant gun laws stricter than those currently in place. Florida is currently one of only 23 states that prohibits concealed weapons carriers from bringing their weapons onto public or private campuses. Regardless, this issue should register on our radars. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, lawmakers in 14 states have introduced bills this year that would allow concealed carry. There is no guarantee that Florida will not do the same. Moreover, even if we do not plan to live in Florida in the future, laws in other states may affect us and our children. Ultimately, the scandal at Utah State highlights an alarming negligence on the part of the U.S. government in guaranteeing the sense of security to which each citizen is entitled. We must all be aware of such issues and be prepared to act accordingly should the vote fall into our hands. Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hurricane editorial board.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

t’s that time of year when you’re allowed to dress in even less clothing than you normally wear to the Grove. No, not Rocky Horror Picture Show – it’s Halloween! While some invest much time in perfecting their costumes for this exciting night, we often reduce choosing catchy costumes into acts of

cultural appropriation. We may have innocently selected our evening attire, but if our costumes feature elements snatched from a marginalized culture, then our ignorance can do more harm than a new Facebook photo is worth. The issue of cultural appropriation is tricky. What does it matter if I’m a hula dancer or a Mexican or a Native American for Halloween? If I look fierce, isn’t that enough? Can’t people stop being so sensitive? CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Student-athlete scandal damages UNC’s reputation he University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is once again faced with the daunting challenge of preserving its reputation amidst academic scandal. Independent investigator Kenneth Wainstein released a report last Wednesday compiled from a monthslong investigation into the universiJACKIE YANG CULTURE ty’s Department of African and Afro COLUMNIST American Studies (AFAM). It revealed a much more extensive level of academic fraud than had previously been suspected. Wainstein’s surveys revealed that between 1993 and 2011, over 3,100 students enrolled in so-called “paper classes” listed as independent study courses that lacked any real academic substance. Students were given inflated grades for egregiously subpar assignments, some of which were plagiarized. Over half of the students registered in these paper classes were student-athletes. These courses made it possible for athletes who were not competitive in the classroom to remain competitive in the field. Implicated in this “shadow curriculum” were not only Julius Nyang’oro, the department chair of AFAM who had previously been the scapegoat of accusations in the past, but also his assistant Debbie Crowder and a number of academic advisers, counselors and football coaches. The Wainstein report illustrates a corrupt culture of unofficial expectations for student-athletes within the AFAM department and the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes (ASPSA). Coaches aware of the “shadow curriculum” would recommend struggling student-athletes for the bogus classes. Though Nyang’oro initially instructed independent study courses with real standards, he was called an “ass” by counselors for being too tough on student-athletes, according to the report. Though it appears that this scandal was isolated within the AFAM department, it has unfortunately had

far-reaching effects on the school’s traditionally prestigious reputation, causing frustration and dismay among proud Tar Heels. “Outside of the AFAM department, classes here are some of the most taxing and work-intensive classes available at the collegiate level,” said one student in a Facebook post. “Yes, there was an academic scandal…but don’t try to tell me the hard work I’ve put in both before and during my amazing tenure at this university is worthless.”

When individual departments and people within a university make questionable choices, they must remember that they are carrying upon their backs the reputation of an entire institution. Jackie Yang, Culture Columnist UNC basketball coach Roy Williams, who had been unaware of the shadow curriculum and did not push for his athletes to take paper classes, said Friday night that he would “always be sad about the image we have right now around the country,” according to the Associated Press. Not only does the AFAM department’s failure to uphold academic standards undermine the honest work of the many other students, faculty members and adminis-

trators at UNC, but the culture of “easing up” also undermines student-athletes across the nation. What kind of sportsmanship is instilled within athletes when they are told that they have to play by the rules on the field but not in the classroom? How is a student-athlete’s quality of education affected when teachers turn a blind eye to plagiarism and rudimentary writing skills? The challenges UNC faces right now call to mind past instances of athletic department-related scandal at the University of Miami, including falsified Pell Grant applications, excessive financial aid awards and the infamous 2011 scandal concerning improper funding by booster Nevin Shapiro. Though these scandals largely concerned financial rather than academic affairs, UM’s reputation as a university was also heavily tarnished by the poor choices of a specific group of people. While UNC lacked crucial oversight in this longstanding instance of academic fraud, this scandal hardly represents the culture at UNC, just as it would be unfair to characterize UM by unethical acts that most of the community took no part in. As UNC Chancellor Carol Folt said in a press conference last week, “Remember that our university’s 221-year history has never been defined by a single moment.” At the same time, when individual departments and people within a university make questionable choices, they must remember that they are carrying upon their backs the reputation of an entire institution. Jackie Yang is a freshman majoring in neuroscience.

Fine line between appreciation, stereotyping The issue goes deeper than just offending others. Cultural appropriation perpetuates unequal power dynamics between historically powerful groups and marginalized groups. The differences between cultural appropriation and cultural exchange are respect for the culture that is not your own and an invitation to participate in another group’s traditions. Here at the University of Miami, we have many opportunities to participate in respectful cultural exchange – including cultural club meetings and Diversity Week, which starts Nov. 11. No matter our backgrounds, we are all privileged to be universityeducated students. We are better positioned than most of the world to

address challenges of discrimination and inequality. This week allows us to start addressing these challenges by consciously choosing not to turn other groups into caricatures. Aside from marginalized cultures, we can also stray away from costumes that perpetuate other negative power dynamics, such as extreme poverty (hobos), inequitable health care provisions (Ebola hazmat suits) and gender discrimination (naughty nurses). Consciously choosing to dress as a minion or Elsa from “Frozen,” rather than Pocahontas, might not seem like a big difference, but it does in fact help tip the scales toward equality and respect.

The Alpha Delta Pi (ADPi) and Kappa Sigma team won the Homecoming Organized Cheer (O-Cheer) competition Tuesday night. O-Cheer performances resemble mini-musicals, except without singing and lots of dancing. This year’s OCheer event, held on the UC Patio, required organizations to come up with seven-minute skits using specific toys from Toy Story, like Barbie and Mr. Potato Head, to tell stories that showcased their school spirit. With alien toys as the focus, ADPi and Kappa Sigma performed a skit where toys Buzz, Andy and Jessie were kidnapped from the University of Miami and taken to space. They had to find a way to return in time for the Homecoming game. Performers were cos-

tumed in all-black attire with green tutus as they danced to songs like Katy Perry’s “E.T.” and spoke in alien-like voices. “What’s really cool about O-Cheer is that it gives every organization a chance to represent their selves in a fun way,” said sophomore Lauren Rodriguez, a Homecoming co-chair for the event. “...It brings out the best part of each organization.” The air was filled with an electric buzz as students in the audience decorated in green glittery war paint shouted their organizations’ chants and held up signs in support of their fellow Canes. The crowd swayed and danced along with the performers as their favorite songs were played. Music choices for the skits included songs by Eminem, Trey Songz and Beyonce, as well as Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda.” Students twirled, pop-locked, and even grinded to enhance their skits and garner more enthusiasm from the crowd.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

“It feels good to have a lot of spirited groups in one place,” said sophomore Morgan Canty, an audience member. The other organizations to place were Zeta Tau Alpha in second, Delta Phi Epsilon and Beta Theta Pi in third, and Federacion de Estudiantes Cubanos in fourth. In total, 12 organizations performed, including Kappa Kappa Gamma and Lambda Chi, COISO, Hecht Residential College, Delta Gamma and Pi Kappa Phi, Tri Delta and Alpha Epsilon Pi, Association of Commuter Students and Chi Omega. Jordana Herr, an RA in Hecht and the choreographer of Hecht’s skit, said that OCheer helps bring the campus together and can be an uplifting experience for all students. “O-Cheer really gets me into the spirit of homecoming,” she said. “There’s nothing better than walking off the stage feeling like you put your best forward and hearing the crowd reacting to it.”

PLAYFUL CHARACTERS: Sophomores Lauren Hutt and Jennifer Coren of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority created a skit based on Bo-Peep, a character from “Toy Story.”

An Exciting Time for UM Dining! New students who previously visited campus returned to a nice surprise when they returned this fall to begin college. To enhance the campus dining experience, the University’s Dining Services were busy carrying out its Dining Master Plan by adding new, exciting, and healthy food choices and appealing venues to its offerings – and there’s still more on the horizon for Spring 2015. Just in time for fall classes, a newly renovated Hurricane Food Court opened with some campus favorites, including Panda Express, Sushi Maki, and Subway, and two new additions: • •

Pollo Tropical, a Miami favorite, offering Caribbean-inspired, fresh- grilled chicken, tropichops and other flavorful meals. Innovation Kitchen (IK), which features Wicked Spoon, a frozen yogurt concept that will make customers wickedly happy, has unlimited options and flexibility. As trends, tastes, and culinary needs change, so, too, will IK’s menu evolve.

A new Einstein Bros. Bagels at the School of Law and a revamped Hecht Stanford Dining Hall are also part of the new mix, joining the Outtakes convenience store, which opened in the Hurricane Food Court and is home to the “Corner Deli,” a New York-style deli featuring piled-high pastrami sandwiches, made- to-order salads, and homemade sides. The Hecht Stanford Dining Hall offers UM Dining’s “Pulse on Dining” brand, which provides a restaurant-like experience with healthy choices in a dynamic, market-style environment. Strategically placed stations have added energy and excitement while contemporary design elements are layered into a classic UM feel. The Athletic Training Table, which creates an ideal space for UM athletes to meet and share meals as a team, nurtures fellowship and enables athletic department personnel to focus on performance, personal well-being, and success. Come spring 2015, Dining Services will complete its Dining Master Plan by adding two more retail concepts: • Built by The Counter, designed with today’s college student in mind, will feature locally sourced and sustainable custom-built burgers, vegetarian burgers, sides and handcrafted shakes. • Tossed, featuring over 50 fresh ingredients and homemade dressings, will offer made-to-order salads, gourmet wraps, grilled panini, artisanal sandwiches, and hot soups. Are you on-the-go? Late for class? Hate waiting on lines? Dining Services now has a mobile ordering system created for busy students, faculty and staff! Grab your phone and download the well-known Tapingo app and make your life a little easier with this unique mobile ordering system. Dining Services knows how precious your time is! Never wait in line again plus receive specials and rewards just for ordering; only available on the Tapingo app! To enhance our students dining experience, Dining Services is extremely excited to announce the addition of a new Registered Dietician who will work with students assisting them with dietary concerns, food sensitivities, nutritional needs as well being a board certified specialist in sports dietetics. So how can students enjoy all of these new dining options? With a My Meals meal plan, of course! With the variety of meal options on campus, it makes perfect sense to purchase a meal plan that fits busy schedules while providing fresh food options and opportunities to relax with new friends, or to grab a quick bite on the way to class. My Meals are convenient and accessible at both Pulse on Dining locations, and come with Dining Dollars, which can be used at any campus dining location. To find out more about meal plans visit Miami.edu/dining-services or www.dineoncampus.com/Miami/. Stay tuned for many more enhancements, additions and exciting changes! Dining Services looks forward to serving you! Auxiliary & Dining Services contact information:

Cutting-edge costuming enchants audiences

ASHLEY MARTINEZ // EDGE EDITOR IF THE SHOE FITS: The first national tour of the Broadway musical Rodgers + Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” will run at the Adrienne Arsht Center through Sunday. The production features an elaborate wardrobe of ball gowns and armor designed by William Ivey Long, who won the 2013 Best Costume Design Tony award. Paige Faure (Cinderella) and Andy Jones (Prince Topher) both performed in the original Broadway version of the show. The iconic glass slippers in this production were designed by Stuart Weitzman. BY ASHLEY MARTINEZ EDGE EDITOR

In a flash, tattered rags transformed into a shimmering, elegant ballgown fit for a princess. A pumpkin transformed into an opulent, regal carriage and mice changed into dashing horses. This classic scene is widely recognized as the magical handiwork of the fairy godmother in the story “Cinderella.” But in the national touring production, now at the Adrienne Arsht Center, the transformations took place on stage, leaving audience members gasping with delight as an enchanting scene unfolded before them. “These transformations happen in the middle of the stage,” said Andy Jones, who plays Prince Topher. “No one’s expecting that to happen in live theatre. People expect for someone to run off stage and come back in a different cos-

tume. It takes the audience a couple seconds to realize what has just happened in front of them.” This magic is the work of famed Broadway costume designer William Ivey Long, whose career has included 14 Tony-award nominations, as well as the 2013 Tony award for Best Costume Design for “Cinderella.” According to Aymee Garcia, who plays Charlotte, one of Cinderella’s stepsisters, it was an “honor” to wear the costumes Long specially tailored for each actor. “He made them very flattering to each of us,” Garcia said. “It’s not like a cookie cutter ‘this is the costume you wear,’ it’s like oh my gosh William Ivey Long is making something for me, this is thrilling.” The backstage area overflows with grand, layered dresses with delicate embroidery, piles of armored breastplates, and rows and rows of

shoes. But, of course, the most noteworthy pair – Cinderella’s iconic Venetian glass slippers – are kept in a separate area and closely watched. Paige Faure, Cinderella, had large shoes to fill when it came to facilitating the grand transformations. “There is a lot of pressure in making sure this plays as flawlessly as possible because you really just want people to be enveloped in this magic and enveloped in the story of it and not get taken away by ‘oh I saw her wig,’” she said. Faure attributes the transformation to magic, and notes that Long’s costumes transport both the actors and audience to the beautiful palace. “My dress has 18 layers of fluff to give it that perfect ballroom shape and he really took amazing strides to make it as authentic looking as possible,” she said. “They’re not cartoonishly big, but they are really thrilling and magical.”

Jones also joked about the weight and heft of the costumes, but noted his favorite aspect was not just about the costumes changes, but what it represented. “For me I think what’s most exciting about the costumes is we have these dress transformations of a girl transforming into who she is and her clothes transforming along with her.”

Gleason collection brought to life by spirited readings

NICK GANGEMI // PHOTO EDITOR CREEPY CREATIVITY: Special Collections Archives Assistant Cory Czajkowski and artist Amanda Keeley concluded the Reanimating Spectral Collection event held at Richter Library Wednesday.

Audience members were then invited to peruse a display of the full texts. Though students cannot check out books from Special Collections, they are always available to read upon visiting the library. Sylvestre said that the books were meant to come alive in this spooky seance. “We wanted to have this event to highlight some of the materials in a fun way, so we selected passages to have theater students interpret as if they were spirits of the book,” he said. Attendees were thrilled and enticed, some, like freshman Daniel Barrett, never having been to the Special Collections section of the library. “I was very spooked,” Barrett said. “I would definitely come back and read some of the pieces.”

Jay Sylvestre was pleased with the event’s turnout and that many new faces graced the Special Collections floor. “We hosted this event primarily to let people know that we’re here, and that we’re open to the public,” Sylvestre said. “One of the tough things for us, being on the eighth floor of the Richter Library, is that people don’t generally stop in. We like to do these events to highlight Collections.” This thrilling night of the unnatural concluded with a group recitation of “PLIF: Post-death Life is Factual, Postdeath Life is Fun,” leaving attendees, on their dark walk home, to wonder if something could be lurking beyond perception. Special Collections plans to hold future themed showcases, such as a presentation of the archival Pan-Am airline collection.

Canes enter Homecoming weekend in good spirits Team prepares to take on Tar Heels Saturday BY NEIL DWYER SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

The Miami Hurricanes (5-3, 2-2 ACC) enter an emotional Homecoming weekend off one of the program’s more satisfying wins in recent memory: a 30-6 drubbing of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. While the pundits could have so much to argue against Miami – playing against a down Hokies team probably being the biggest bullet point – there are obviously a ton of positives to look at. Everything seemed to go well for the Hurricanes last Thursday; their offense, especially on the ground, was lightning quick and spectacular. Duke

Johnson caught and rushed for a touchdown and led the Canes in both rushing yards (a career-high 249 yards) and receiving yards (37). Johnson’s performance led longtime Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer to say that Johnson may be the best running back he’s ever coached against. To add to those numbers, Johnson finally recorded the 1,000-yard season Canes fans have been waiting for, which is astounding considering the slow start he had, especially against Louisville in Week 1. Meanwhile, the Canes defense preserved a shutout until the end of the game. Denzel Perryman, who earlier this week was announced as a Butkus Award semifinalist, led the team with 11 tackles.

SPORTS BRIEFS

Jermaine Grace and Anthony Chickillo each recorded a sack. Defensive coordinator Mark D’Onofrio said on the Saturday before the game that he was satisfied with a much-criticized defensive performance this season, but these looked more like the Canes that shut down Duke at home in September than the Canes that gave up 300 yards to Nebraska and Georgia Tech. The Canes now take on their best friend in the ACC, North Carolina (44, 2-2 ACC.) The Tar Heels have made it much easier for Miami to stay in the running for an ACC Coastal division title and advance to the ACC Championship game for the first time. The Tar Heels have upset Georgia Tech and Virginia on successive Saturdays, but showed significant tackling problems against the Virginia Cavaliers.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

CROSS COUNTRY

Freshman Aisha Edwards will undergo surgery for a torn ACL Thursday, and will therefore redshirt for her first season with the Canes. The 5-foot-8 guard from Boca Raton came in ranked 10th in her position for the class of 2014 by ESPN’s HoopGurlz. “What is delayed is not necessarily denied,” said Head Coach Katie Meier. “It’s a guarantee in my mind that she’s having a great career here.” The Canes will open their 2014-15 season Thursday with an exhibition game against Nova Southeastern at the BankUnited Center.

The Hurricanes will compete in the 2014 ACC Championship Friday in Earlysville, Virginia at 10 a.m. The team just ran its last regular season race at Westminster Academy Sports Complex. Sophomore Gabrielle Hesslau won the women’s five-kilometer race with a time of 19:40, leading Miami to a second-place finish. Hesslau was aided by a top-10 performance from fellow sophomore Frida Carlsson, as well as top 20 finishes from Julia Koch and Mulloy Manning. On the other hand, the men’s team did not place, but featured strong performances from senior Douglas Dourado (third place) and Sophomore Jon Keller (ninth place).

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Tim Scott was Carolina’s leading tackler last Saturday with nine tackles, but time and time again, a Cavalier slipped like butter through the arms of the Heels for extra yardage. Miami’s potent offense, one of the ACC’s best, should be able to take advantage of that. Miami is undefeated at home, and this weekend will be even sweeter with the presence of former Hurricanes quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer Jim Kelly as Grand Marshal of the Homecoming Parade on Friday night. All year long, the Hurricanes have promoted and supported the #KellyTough campaign during and after Kelly’s battle with sinus cancer. Kelly was declared cancer-free in August. The Canes kick off against North Carolina at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1 on ESPN3 and WVUM 90.5 FM.

ACC Players of the Week

Senior shines both on, off court

Standout players receive conference recognition BY DANNY NEW ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

SAVANAH LEAF Savanah Leaf has been nominated as a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award for collegiate volleyball. She initially selected as one of 30 semifinalists in September. CLASS is an acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School. Leaf currently leads the ACC with 4.7 kills LEAF per set, which ranks 10th in the country. The California native broke the Miami record for kills in ACC play this season when she recorded 30 against Florida State. She also won the ACC Player of the Week award two weeks in a row. Leaf will look to continue her nationally recognized leadership and scoring ability this Friday in Chapel Hill against UNC.

DENZEL PERRYMAN For the second straight season, senior linebacker Denzel Perryman has been named a semifinalist for the Butkus Award, which annually honors college football’s top defensive middle man. Perryman was one of 15 named to the preliminary list Monday, and is the only two-time semifinalist PERRYMAN in the selection. Only one other Hurricane has won the award: Dan Morgan in 2000. The finalists will be announced Nov. 24 and the winners by Dec. 9. Starting all eight games this season, Perryman leads the team with 62 tackles and will look to notch his ninth against UNC Saturday.

Leaf looks ahead to final season BY DANNY NEW ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

How many college athletes do you know who were also Olympians? Or better yet – who also took first place in a district of the Congressional Art Competition? Meet Savanah Leaf, Miami volleyball’s leading scorer and starting outside hitter who is as dynamic as her resume suggests. “I want to prove myself as both an athlete and a student,” she said while sitting on the Knight Sports Complex hardwood in her green practice gear. “That’s what I want to leave at this school: That you can do both … that’s the biggest achievement you can have.” The senior and Californianative has garnered two shelvesworth of accolades during her tenure, including 2013 All-ACC First Team, 2013 All-ACC Academic team and even a few ACC Player of the Week awards that were recently sprinkled onto the mix. But when she’s not racking up 16 kills per game, Leaf is using a different ball to express herself – one you would find on a ballpoint pen.

“I try to [write] in any of my free time,” she said. “I like to write short stories … about personal experiences in my life, just to kind of reflect. Sometimes I’ll write a little blog … so other people know what’s going on in my life since I don’t get to talk to my family a lot.” Her family is her biggest supporter, she says, though they’re 3,000 miles west. When asked for whom she plays, Leaf cited her two immediate family members: her mother, Alison, and her younger sister, Corinna. After living in England for eight years, Leaf and her mother moved to Northern California, where Leaf would lead her Marin Academy volleyball squad to a Bay Counties League West title in her senior year. During a time when California-native Lisa Leslie was still collecting her trio of WNBA MVP hardware, Leaf originally had her eye on the other hardwood sport, basketball. But after a successful sophomore season in which she was named PrepVolleyball.com’s 2008 “Best High School Sophomores in the Country,” she fully dedicated herself to spikes and kills. Now, during her third and final season at UM (she transferred from San Jose State), Leaf has al-

ready established herself as one of the volleyball program’s all-time leaders. In fact, against Georgia Tech, she became the eighth player in school history to register 1,000 career kills – more men have walked on the moon. And as her ACC-best 4.7 kills-per-set this season has led the Canes to a healthy 14-6 record, Leaf is taking her final campaign one match at a time. “I want to win as many games as possible,” she said. “I just kinda take it game by game and win each game as it comes.” But as those familiar matchups start to get crossed off her calendar for the final time, Leaf is already looking towards the future – which of course promises more than just athletics. “I’m gonna go play [volleyball] professionally while I’m young … either in Europe or Brazil,” she said. “And then hopefully – fingers crossed – I can get into a good school for directing and producing.” She loves to tell stories. She loves to play volleyball. And as her last season commences, we’ll see how she composes the final chapter of her tale as a Miami Hurricane.
