The Miami Hurricane - November 11, 2011 by The Miami Hurricane

PROFILE

The Yellow Jackets are expected to go through a transition year as they become accustomed to the style that new head coach Brian Gregory is preaching. The loss of Iman Shumpert, last season ’s leading scorer and rebounder, won ’t help Tech ’s cause.

Most experts ’ preseason pick to win it all, the No. 1-ranked Tar Heels certainly have a lot going for them. With sophomore Harrison Barnes deciding not to declare for the NBA draft, the ACC Rookie of the Year will headline a team loaded with talent.

Despite having to adjust to a lot of newcomers, Duke is expected to make another run in the division. They will rely on the play of No. 1 recruit Austin Rivers, along with freshman Quinn Cook to embark on another championship run.

Last season, the Cavaliers finished seventh in the ACC after being projected to finish last. Mike Scott returns to the team after recovering from a broken ankle, and with three other starters returning, Virginia could make a run to the top of the conference.

A year after finishing third in the ACC and making the Sweet Sixteen, this strong, defensive-minded team has the ability to hold back highscoring teams. Though they will clearly miss Chris Singleton, head coach Leonard Hamilton believes his team can make a splash.

A 22-win season and an NCAA appearance last season has the Tigers excited for what can be accomplished under second-year head coach Brad Brownell. Though their top two scorers from last year are no longer with the team, the Tigers still have some depth in the frontcourt.

The Eagles may struggle at the start, as they will have to figure out a brand new starting lineup after all five of last years starters have moved on. Though they finished fourth last season, it remains to be seen just how competitive they can be in this tough conference.

The Wolfpack have much to be excited about with the arrival of new head coach Mark Gottfried, who has seven NCAA tournament appearances in his career. The team will have to adjust, but watch out for sophomore C.J. Leslie, who could have a breakout year.

Finishing last in the ACC with only eight wins last season, head coach Jeff Bzdelik will have his work cut out for him to get his team out of the ACC gutter. The roster does have talent; look for freshman Chase Fischer to carry the team offensively.

The Terrapins will be looking for help at forward early on after Jordan Williams decided to go pro. Guard Pe ’Shon Howard and center Alex Len both will be out during the early part of the schedule. Maryland will have to overachieve in order to stay competitive.

Long, successful journey delivers coach to ACC BY PATRICK RILEY CONTRIBUTING SPORTS WRITER

He quotes Albert Schweitzer, reads books about everything from management to self-help and was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in the sixth round of the 1971 NBA draft. But Jim Larranaga, head coach of the men ’s basketball team at the University of Miami, is best known for something completely different. “Well, first thing I thought about was [the] Final Four run, ” said shooting guard Rion Brown when asked what initially crossed his mind upon hearing of Larranaga. However, while his famous run with George Mason in 2006 certainly catapulted “Coach L ” into the national spotlight, it was 20 years earlier that his success story started when he began his head coaching career at Bowling Green University. “They had had four straight losing seasons, ” the Bronx native said. “My first year they were picked to finish last in the league and we were able to go from being picked last to finishing tied for second. ” After 11 seasons with Bowling Green, which included three NIT appearances, opportunity came knocking again when Richmond, James Madison and George Mason were all looking for new head coaches. “I inquired with all three schools and only George Mason returned my call, ” Larranaga said. “When I got the job they had had seven straight losing seasons from 1991 to 1997. I think four of those seasons they finished last, so they happened to be looking for someone who had already built a program. ” It soon became clear that Larranaga was just the man for the job. During his 14-year tenure with George Mason, he transformed the Patriots into the winningest program in Colonial Athletic Association history and become the most successful coach in the history of the conference. His unprecedented accomplishments culminated in the much-talked about Final Four run. To get there, he had to first employ a quote from one of his favorite books: “Get the right people on the bus and then decide where you ’re going. ” “When we first arrived … we told everybody we were going to recruit locally and they said, ‘Well, you ’ll never win, because Georgetown, Maryland and George Washington will get all the best players and you ’ll stink. ’ But on our Final Four team we had eight local players; the five starters were all from within an hour and a

half from campus, ” Larranaga said. It was also during his time with the Patriots that Larranaga introduced the country to his motivational skills and powerful pregame speeches, like when he told his team before facing UConn in the Regional Finals in 2006 that the CAA stood for Connecticut Assassins Association. The famous pregame talk was developed the morning of the game, when Larranaga read an article that made it very clear that the George Mason players knew everything about their opponent, while the opposite was true for UConn ’s team. “They didn ’t know anything about George Mason, ” the triumphant coach said. “They were asked who the coach was, they said, ‘I have no idea. ’ They asked what league we were in, one of them said, ‘They ’re in the Missouri Valley. ’ And the other guy said, ‘No, they ’re in the Patriot League. ’ So in formulating my thoughts going into the pregame I structured it so that our players understood that they don ’t know anything about us, we know everything about them. We ’re better prepared to win this game than they are. ” Larranaga ’s pregame speeches are often not quite so spontaneous, but rather meticulously conceived much earlier. “I normally start writing my pregame talks in July … I have thoughts about what a game might be like so I might use a quote, I might use one word, I might use a story to share with the team to put them in the … best mental frame of mind to play. ” His love for reading and broad arsenal of motivational quotes often aid Larranaga in instilling such a frame of mind in his players. “One of my favorite books is called ‘The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. ’ So there are stories there that I always share with the team, ” he said. “They always have a moral to them; there is always a point … Some nights it ’ll be a quote. It might be a quote by Albert Schweitzer, who once wrote, ‘Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success. ’ ” But even though success has been following him wherever he goes, Larranaga has never lost sight of his main motivation for coaching. “Everything he does, he does for the players, ” said Miami assistant coach Chris Caputo, entering his 10th season at Larranaga ’s side. “He always has their best interests at heart. ” At Miami, Larranaga is looking to do many of the same things that have brought him so much success in the past, and his goals are as ambitious as ever: to be mentioned in the same vein as Duke and UNC. If history has taught us anything, that goal is not out of Larranaga ’s reach.

When you play basketball at Duke, if nothing else, you will learn how to do one thing: win. Women ’s head coach Katie Meier, now in her seventh season at the helm for the Canes, is bringing that tradition and mentality down south from Durham, N.C. Her experience playing for Duke even helped win her a share of the National Coach of the Year Award last season. The No. 7 ranking for the Canes is their highest since the final poll of the 1992 season and the highest preseason ranking the team has ever earned. “That ’s a really big honor, ” Meier said when the rankings were released. “We ’re going to

That team far exceeded all projections and finished 12-2 in ACC play with a perfect 20-0 home record. “It is an honor to be recognized with all these great players, ” said preseason first-team All-American Shenise Johnson. “But what really matters is that we reach our team ’s goals and hopefully I can be a part of the postseason team. ” A year ago, Johnson registered averages of 19.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. “She ’s done exactly what she

major program that will always be recalled when a new Cinderella story develops in college basketball. Larranaga now inherits a team with 11 of 12 players returning. He understands the challenges ahead in getting his team to transition from the style of play they were accustomed to under former head coach Frank Haith. “Whenever you ’re developing a new system, it takes the players a while to adjust, ” Larranaga said. “A coach can ’t adjust to 13 different styles, but 13 people can adjust to one new style. ” The Canes will be led by the backcourt duo of senior Malcolm Grant and junior Durand Scott. Grant

was named to the Preseason All-ACC team after leading the conference in three-point field goals made, three point percentage and free throw percentage a year ago. Scott led the Canes in scoring last season with 19.3 points per game. Miami needs bulk and strength up front to complement the quick backcourt. The team ’s premier big man, Reggie Johnson, will be out until January with a knee injury, and senior forward/center Julian Gamble will miss the entire season with an ACL tear. The Canes hope Florida transfer Kenny Kadji can provide the reliability Larranaga needs from his big men until Johnson is back and ready to go.

Members practice Monday through Thursday at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, which sits on Biscayne Bay. Last year, the team went to nationals and placed 10th overall. The UM Sailing Club is unique in that its members thrive on competition, whereas other teams are more inclined to sail for recreation alone. “Sailing isn’t so much into trophies on the collegiate level, unfortunately,” said Munzenmaier, the club’s president. The club will head to Boston this weekend for the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship.

Campus has been buzzing since a UM student was arrested last weekend after he entered two unlocked rooms in Mahoney Residential College and assaulted several students. For the most part, however, students were startled by the incident, but are not doubting the quality of UM ’s on-campus security. “I was surprised because I was just talking to my friend that night about how safe I ’d felt in the dorms … but I don ’t think it ’s affecting how students feel about safety, ” said freshman Madelyn Tarr, who lives in Stanford Residential College. The university has a variety of safety measures in place so that students feel safe on campus. For example, between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m., the main doors at the five residential colleges automatically lock, and only residents can use their Cane Cards to swipe in. Security checkpoints inside require residents to check themselves and their guests in. Junior Eric Fields said he is generally satisfied with campus security, but recognizes its loopholes. “It ’s not overbearing, but you always feel like they ’re there, ” said Fields, who lives in the University Village (UV). “I like that the doors lock at night and you need a Cane Card to get in, even though that ’s sort of f lawed because you could just walk in behind somebody that ’s already swiped their card and not get much of a second look. ”

UNIVERSITY CENTER

UC mural immortalizes Hurricane history SG delivers on one portion of platform BY PERI DIAMOND CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

There ’s writing on the wall in the University Center (UC). A new mural detailing UM ’s history through a series of photographs and captions now adorns the central walkway that runs from the entrance near WVUM to the temporary Rathskeller. It was created under the direction of the University Center Renovations Committee, which was led by Vice President of Student Affairs Patricia Whitely and Student Government (SG) Vice President Ashley Taggart. “Having the mural in the UC has definitely enhanced school spirit, and I think it ’s a cool way to learn about our school, ” Taggart said. The mural begins with a brief historical account of the campus, which is followed by 165 significant moments in Hurricane history. The 108-foot-long wall is divided according to the terms of the university ’s five presidents and arranged in chronological order, starting with the first president, Bowman Foster Ashe, and ending with current President Donna E. Shalala. After seeing the mural, sophomore Kaitlyn Rancour said she was surprised by UM ’s rich history. “It is amazing how interactive our school is with places and

people around the world, ” she said. Images in the mural include the first UM graduates, former UM President Jay Pearson greeting former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy at the Lowe Art Museum in 1960, Ashe and Sir Winston Churchill at the 1946 convocation, and the “Last Call at The Rat. ” Other photos depict UM ’s first mascot, a dog named “Hurricane I, ” the undefeated polo team from 1947, President George H.W. Bush at a commencement ceremony and the original UM campus. All of the photographs were chosen with the help of the Richter Library, Campus Planning and Development Department and SG leaders. “The goal of the pictures was to reflect the major events that impacted in some way the student experience or the role of the University of Miami, ” Whitely said. The mural stems from the “Spirit the U ” initiative led by SG President Brandon Mitchell, who ran with Taggart on the same ticket. “We wanted to be able to take our university center and put it on another campus and still have it be ‘ours, ’ ” Taggart said. “Before the renovations started, we didn ’t think there was enough school spirit in the UC; we wanted there to be more orange and green. ” Freshman Alexa Pierro thinks the mural “shows others what it means to be a Miami Hurricane. ”

has collaborated with UM on this project and others. “I am thrilled with the final design, ” Whitely said. “Hopefully, it will be enjoyed for years to come. ”

STUDENT ORGANIZATION

Club promotes more lenient drug policies Event addressed value of marijuana BY KYLIE BANKS STAFF WRITER

Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP) wants to make misconceptions about drugs go up in smoke. SSDP was formed to bring a science- and compassion-based perspective to drug policy. The group hopes to educate students about drug policy issues, ranging from the decriminalization of marijuana to the treatment of drug addiction in the United States. “Look at how we handle the war on drugs; it ’s not based on what ’s best for our citizens, ” said Alfred Kilzi, SSDP president and co-founder. “People who have medical problems are getting sent to jail. ” The Committee on Student Organizations recently ratified the club ’s constitution, despite its controversial stance. But, many members still feel that there shouldn ’t be a stigma about discussing drugs openly. “It ’s not a thing where only druggies get it, ” said junior Lilly Kofler, vice president and co-founder of the club. “It ’s not mythology. There ’s scientific proof behind what [experts] say. ” In addition to weekly meetings, the club brings in guest speakers like doctors and lawyers for events. It also screens movies that deal with U.S. drug policies, like “Square Grouper. ” “I ’m not from Florida and seeing the different scenarios in South

off a boat after a drug raid. On Tuesday, the club hosted an event featuring medical-marijuanaadvocate Irv Rosenfeld. He is one of the few remaining patients that receive medical marijuana through a federal program that started in the 1970s and lasted until the early 1990s. Through this program, patients with severe illnesses were guaranteed medical marijuana for the rest of their lives. “I want cannibus in the hands of patients, ” Rosenfeld said. “I think everybody should be able to grow their own. ” Rosenfeld, who is the vice president of a stock brokerage firm in Fort Lauderdale, receives 300 joints every 25 days from the federal government. Over the last 30 years, he has received more than 120,000 joints. He uses the marijuana to alleviate the pain from his diseases, which include multiple congenital

cartilaginous exostosis and pseudohypoparathyroidism. Both result in painful bone tumors. Rosenfeld has advocated for medical marijuana in numerous states and has testified in front of Congress. “I proved that one person can make a difference, ” Rosenfeld said. “A majority of one is still a majority. ” After the event, he found a designated smoking area near the library to smoke one of his joints. While he was smoking and answering questions from people who attended the event, a cop stopped Rosenfeld to question him about the marijuana. Though the cop and Rosenfeld only spoke for a short time, Rosenfeld did have to show various forms of proof that stated the marijuana was legal. This has happened countless times because of his unique situation. Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule 1 drug. This means that Nov. 10 - Nov. 13, 2011

the government does not recognize marijuana as medically beneficial. Rosenfeld ’s case has been viewed with interest by many of the SSDP members. “He is the living contradiction to the Schedule 1 classification of marijuana, ” Kofler said. “He ’s a strong case for any type of marijuana reform. He is someone to be studied. ” Hauptle attended Rosenfeld ’s event to learn about what “one man can do with his federal license. ” “The government grows the marijuana for Rosenfeld while it tells the public that the drug has no medical benefits, ” Hauptle said. Through the event, members hope to educate students about the possibilities of medical marijuana. “To say marijuana has absolutely no medical benefits is disingenuous, ” Kilzi said. “The U.S. should be researching this. ”

Grant provides financial support to promote marine conservation Project aims to protect shark species BY JACKIE SALO STAFF WRITER

A grant from the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund (DWCF) will provide financial aid for a project aimed at conserving endangered oceanic sharks, an undertaking of the R.J. Dunlap (RJD) Marine Conservation Program at The Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. “It is a big grant, so it attracts a lot of attention, ” said Austin Gallagher, a co-principal investigator of the study. “We feel really lucky to be recognized. ” The RJD program was one of nearly 100 projects worldwide to be awarded a grant by the DWCF. The fund awarded more than $2 million to various conservation programs that benefit habitats and species. The RJD team ’s study, which is aimed at protecting oceanic white tip sharks, will evaluate how overfishing may put the species at risk and identify mating and feeding areas. “The hammerheads have declined over 80 percent in the last 15 years, ” said Neil Hammerschlag, UM assistant research professor and director of the RJD Program. “Oceanic white tip sharks were one of the most abundant on the planet and have now declined over 99 percent. ” The study, which Hammerschlag said will begin next year, will use Smart Position or Temperature Transmitting ( “SPOT ”) satellite tags to track the sharks. The devices will recognize when a shark surfaces and detect its position. To receive the grant, the team had to demonstrate its experience in the field. “Neil and myself have authored a lot of scientific papers on this topic, and we have

According to Gallagher, the conservation of an endangered species depends on the protection of its female members. “I am most interested with reproduction, personally, but we have seen so far that sharks are pretty damn picky about where they mate, ” Gallagher said. “Not a lot is known ... we want to see if a pattern emerges. ”

Each week, the team uploads the shark ’s location to a website allowing individuals to follow its movement. This information is available to students and local and international governments to aid in planning conservation strategies. “It is important to show that you don ’t want to just track the sharks but that you want to test a scientific hypothesis, ” Gallagher said.

Campus security under the spotlight after burglary CRIME FROM PAGE 1 Jim Smart, the director of Housing and Residential Life, said that one of the biggest problems regarding dorm security is “tailgating. ” Smart said tailgating occurs when students who live in a dorm swipe in and let whoever is standing behind them walk in as well, without knowing them or knowing if they live there. Chief David Rivero of UM ’s Police Department (UMPD) said students need to be cautious with bringing people into the residential colleges they do not know. “Any time a student brings a stranger to the dorms, they ’re breaching our safety envelope, ” he said. “That ’s makes the dorms not as safe. ” Still, Rivero said that the reason the UV has “zero to little ” crime is because it requires residents to swipe in no matter the time of day. But the university is strengthening its involvement in keeping residents ’ rooms secure. Starting with Eaton Residential College, students will be required to swipe their Cane Cards to enter the building 24/7. The improvements include new door locks similar to those at the UV, which lock automatically. “This will probably save us 20 to 30 crimes a year, ” he said. Rivero said that all the residential colleges will eventually have this new system. ‘Student-on-student’ crimes Still, the problem with this weekend ’s incident was that the perpetrator was a student who actually lived in Mahoney. Jiahao Yuan, who is a junior according to his Facebook profile page, was charged with two counts of occupied burglary and assault or battery. Police took Yuan into custody after the burglary, which took place Sunday around 6 a.m., according to an article in The Miami Herald. Yuan is currently an inmate at Miami-Dade County ’s Training and Treatment Center and held without bond. Rivero said that once Yuan undergoes the legal process, he could possibly spend his life in jail or be deported back to his

home in China. Burglary with assault or battery is a first-degree felony; those convicted of this crime can spend up to 30 years, or life in prison. Yuan ’s case is similar to previous burglary incidents in the resiYUAN dential colleges. On April 11, a UMPD alert stated that an unknown black male stole a laptop from an unlocked room in Hecht Residential College. And on Oct. 23, 2010, an unknown white male stole an MP3 player from an unlocked room in Stanford Residential College, according to another alert. Sophomore Morgan Coleman, who lives in an off-campus apartment, said she would feel unsafe if a stranger breaks in to a residential college, like in the past, rather than a student like Yuan. According to his Facebook and LinkedIn profile pages, Yuan appears to be an average, involved UM student studying entrepreneurship, marketing and art. But the fact that he seems like any other student could be a threat. Rivero said that on-campus crime is typically “studenton-student. ” “It ’s very rare that we have someone come from the community to victimize us, especially if it involves a person ’s crime like robbery, assault and sex offenses, ” he said. Rivero said that 80 percent of on-campus crime is theft of unattended property. Last year, for instance, UMPD arrested a student who was stealing unattended books and later selling them. “If there ’s a student that has his eyes set on stealing something, he ’s going to find a victim easily here, ” Rivero said.

have security officers, cameras and a blue light emergency telephone system on campus. The blue light system provides a direct connection to the police. Coleman said she feels safe when she sees the large amount of security patrols and cameras around campus. In fact, Yuan was identified through footage from one of these cameras. According to Rivero, there are 500 security cameras installed around campus, the majority of which are “better than hi-def. ” Rivero said that

there is such a camera atop Richter Library which can decipher the license tag of a car driving down Miller Drive. Also UMPD is currently working with a new facial recognition software similar to the one at Pinellas County ’s police department. Rivero said that this new technology, along with education, is how UMPD and the university are tackling any crime on campus. Crime on UM ’s Coral Gables campus has declined almost 31

percent since the time Rivero became chief in 2006. “My daughter lives on campus so I have a vested interest in knowing our residential colleges are safe and that our students are safe, ” he said. “We ’re continuously pushing our cops, our student guards and our student patrols to get more aggressive to try to keep campus safe. ” News editor Alysha Khan and assistant news editor Lyssa Goldberg contributed to this report.

of fellow dorm residents as well. Precautions beyond the security desk need to be taken. It ’s risky to go to sleep without locking the door; leaving the door unlocked means leaving yourself and your belongings at the mercy of whomever wants to come inside. That being said, the perpetrator in the Mahoney incident has no excuse for what he did. Such behavior is unacceptable, unlocked doors or not. The victims did the right thing in contacting authorities immediately. While dorm residents shouldn ’t have to worry about things like this, they ’re facts of life. Home invasion occurs outside of college as well, and students should start preparing for this harsh reality. Lock your door, keep an eye on your belongings and listen to Dodson: “Hide ya kids, hide ya wife and hide ya husband. ” But really, be safe.

Safety is in your hands As Internet sensation Antoine Dodson said, “He ’s climbin ’ in yo ’ windows and snatchin ’ yo ’ people up. ” While people may chuckle at Dodson and his unique demeanor, home (and dorm) invasion is nothing to laugh about. The incident that occurred in Mahoney Residential College last Saturday night is a sobering wake-up call that break-ins do indeed happen, and that living in the dorms does not guarantee your safety. The security personnel do what they can, but the system is by no means foolproof when it comes to outsiders getting in after hours. Students can sign guests in, allowing them into the building, and it is not uncommon for someone to sign in a complete stranger. It hardly seems necessary to point out that this is not the best idea. That stranger might not be as innocent as he or she looks. Although intruders are definitely something to watch out for, students need to be wary

There’s always a vindictive student that blames his or her poor grades on the teacher.

ASHLEY MARTINEZ CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST

lorida G o v . R i c k Scott ’s latest plan to pay university professors based on student population and performance has more holes than Swiss

cheese. The idea has recently been brewing in Texas and Scott is also considering the concept. The plan would connect public college professors ’ pay to the number of students they teach and how well they do on student satisfaction surveys. How is this plan f lawed? Let me count the ways. First, the amount of students in a classroom isn ’t a proper way to determine pay. A professor with

a class of 20 students might hold in-depth, roundtable discussions and take the time to read and critique everything a student writes, while working just as hard, if not harder, than a professor with a lecture-style class of 250 who barely notices when a student doesn ’t attend. As the cliche goes, quantity does not dictate quality, so trying to correlate pay and the number of students in a classroom shows a true lack of thought put into this plan. Another issue with this proposal is the idea that student survey results should determine a teacher ’s pay. The truth is, no matter how well someone teaches, there ’s always a vindictive student who blames his or her poor grades on the teacher, not a lazy work ethic. The Internet is full of websites like ratemyprofessors.com where students rant and whine

about how awful teachers are, and how their joy in life is to watch students suffer. Not all reviews are quite so dramatic, but students tend to write through a biased lens. On the f lip side, those surveys could open up a torrent of bribery attempts. Professors could entice students to give them positive reviews by raising their grades. There are too many “what-ifs ” in this scenario, and not everyone has enough integrity for the system to work properly. Professors already have a difficult job in preparing their students for the real world. The last thing the government should be doing is adding more stress by making their pay dependent on such variable and trivial factors. Ashley Martinez is a freshman majoring in journalism.

eet Team StarKid, the oncecollege group that brought you Darren Criss and the viral hit, “A Very Potter Musical. ” After their other musicals “Me and My Dick ” and “Starship, ” the theater group is now headlining the Space Tour. The Miami Hurricane got a chance to talk to Joey Richter, Lauren Lopez and Brian Holden about the tour and working with old friends. The Miami Hurricane: Can you tell me a little about the tour? Joey Richter: I can ’t really reveal a lot of stuff. We ’re kind of keeping a few things under wraps. I can promise that you ’re going to hear some classics and you ’re going to hear a few that are going to sound a little different. We ’re really just RICHTER a group of friends that enjoy goofing off and being silly, and the tour really emulates that. TMH: What is it like working with people that you ’ve known and worked with for so long? JR: It ’s awesome. It ’s easy. It ’s back to habit at this point. We ’re all such good friends. Working together on a creative basis is just so easy. When we know something isn ’t working, it ’s easy to get that out in the

open and move on. We ’re at a point as friends where we can be very no-bullshit and it makes it more fun. We kind of spend every waking minute with each other, which is awesome. After rehearsals, we all get to hang out, and it ’s the people that we enjoy hanging out with and that we would be hanging out with anyway. Lauren Lopez: We have a really good chemistry together where when something is working, it ’s kind of like magic. It ’s a really cool connection that we have with each other. It ’s also nice to have a group of friends that aren ’t just a group of friends, but who also LOPEZ have the same creative mindset as you do. Brian Holden: Being friends for so long, we respect each other. The challenging part is that we let people get away with things, like being late, whereas normally you wouldn ’t test the boundaries of things like being late to rehearsal. TMH: What ’s been your favorite play so far? LL: I think that the first Harry Potter play was. There was something really magical about the first play. There was no StarKid, there was no business aspect to it. We just did it to have fun. And so there ’s just this very nice, nostalgic innocence about where it all was at the beginning. And there ’s that amazing memory of what that show became. TMH: Do you have any advice for

IF YOU GO WHERE: House of Blues in Orlando WHEN: Wednesday at 8 p.m. TICKETS: teamstarkid.com

people who are in college or new college grads who want to get into the acting business? BH: It ’s a tough question for me to answer, because I ’ve been so lucky and we did it in such an unconventional way. I ’d say don ’t underestimate your training. When I was in college, I did a pretty good job in classes, I think. But you can always take it just a little bit more seriously and really value the training you have. But it ’s also important to enjoy your time in college. It ’s one of the most unique periods in your life, where you ’re sort of like an adult but not really. And you just have so much freedom and lack of responsibility. I ’d say go after the projects that make you the happiest and seem like the most fun. Don ’t worry about creating something totally unique. Just do what you want to do with the people you want to do it with. TMH: Joey, you played Ron Weasley in the musical. What was it like meeting Rupert Grint, who plays Ron in the films? JR: Oh, it was awesome. It was so funny because Darren and I were at the Teen Choice Awards, and we were kind of behind the theater. A car pulls up and one of the guys that gets out was Rupert. And I went, “Oh my God, there ’s Rupert Grint. ” And DarHOLDEN ren goes, “Holy shit, we ’ve gotta go get a picture. ” So we essentially stalked him. We got a picture and it turned out bad, and we ended up having to take like four pictures. We felt so bad, but he was cool. And we chatted with him for a bit and had a little geek out moment. We were like, “Oh man, this is going to break the Internet. ” We probably embarrassed ourselves and looked like idiots, but we had a good time. DESIGN BY MARIAH PRICE

Art of belly dancing comes to campus BY DANIELLE PELOQUIN CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

For many, the words “belly dance ” bring to mind images of scantily-clad women gyrating their hips in an exotic harem, an image local belly dance performer and instructor Portia Lange calls the “Arabian fantasy. ” “Belly dance is extremely misrepresented in popular culture, ” Lange said. “In the western world and especially here in America, sexualized things really sell and make money so a lot of the belly dance that you see is very commercial and very sexualized. ” In reality, belly dance, called raqs sharqi in Arabic (literally dance of the east), is a social dance and folkloric tradition. In 2005, Lange established Belly Motions, a Middle Eastern dance school, to bring authentic raqs sharqi to South Florida. Since then, Belly Motions has taught more than 4,000 students, while educating the community about this often misunderstood aspect of Arabic culture. “A lot of times you ’ll hear people so negative about Islamic culture and women being suppressed, ” said Caitlin Ray, a belly dance instructor and UM alumna. “Then we have belly dance and we see this girl who isn ’t covered up, and she ’s dancing and shimming and somehow we don ’t connect the two. ” Belly dance is an ancient tradition

in the Middle East that thrived even after the advent of Islam. Today, belly dance continues to be an important part of social functions and celebrations in Islamic countries. The dance has been growing in popularity worldwide, and if you talk to any belly dancer, it ’s easy to understand why. “I started taking belly dance classes for the fun of it and then I was hooked, ” Lange said. “It was an art form that I could actually learn, and it made me feel really beautiful and empowered ”. For many women, learning the art of belly dance is a life changing experience. “Belly dance gave me something that I really loved and I really started to love myself, ” Ray said. Belly Motions continues to grow as more women discover the art of belly dance. “We ’re raising the bar one hip at a time, ” Lange said. Lange will be teaching a belly dance workshop at the University of Miami, sponsored by QuantUM Entertainment.

Canes earn third NCAA berth since 2007 Nine ACC teams to compete in tourney BY KRISTEN SPILLANE STAFF WRITER

The Hurricanes soccer team will make its return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since earning back-to-back berths in 2007 and 2008. The team learned of its postseason fate Tuesday afternoon, when it was announced that they will face the Alabama Crimson Tide at Cobb Stadium in their first-round matchup. After finishing the season with an overall record of 9-7-1, UM is one of nine ACC teams selected for the 2011 NCAA Tournament; the others are Boston College, Duke, Florida State, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia

Tech and Wake Forest. The Hurricanes earned a playoff berth with a No. 25 RPI (Ratings Percentage Index, a figure that combines wins and losses with a team ’s strength of schedule), and big victories over Boston College and Maryland, two of the top 10 teams. Alabama also earned its first opportunity for NCAA tournament play since 2008 and only the second in program history. The Hurricanes ’ success comes in part from the strong leadership of senior goalkeeper Vikki Alonzo and junior forward Kate Howarth. Alonzo, a four-year starter for Miami, is the vocal captain of the squad. “On the field, our biggest focus will be communication, ” Alonzo said. “From the back lineup to midfield, communicating is key. ” With 10 goals, six assists and 26 points, Howarth helped lead the Canes to their third

NCAA tournament in five years and was named to the All-ACC Second Team. UM has faced Alabama twice before. In 1998, the Canes suffered a 3-0 loss to the Crimson Tide, but won by a score of 1-0 in 2000. For the Canes, it ’s all about keeping their focus and maintaining their high performance expectations as they have throughout the regular season. “It ’s just so important to keep our heads in our game and to stay focused, ” Howarth said. Alonzo echoed her teammate ’s sentiments. “Focus really flows from one player to the next, ” she said. “It has to start with one player, then the whole team will follow. ” Veteran leadership is crucial in NCAA tournament play.

environment. “This is a very young team and I think they really follow in our footsteps; we need to lead by example, ” Howarth said. “You have to play every game like it ’s your last. There are no second chances. ” Alonzo is determined not to let this final opportunity slip away. “As upperclassmen, we try to stress that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and not to take it for granted, ” she said. She also said the crowd adds to the excitement of the game. “The more people we have in the stands, the more excited we are as a team, ” Alonzo said. “The crowd has a lot to do with how we play. ” The game will start at 1 p.m. at Cobb Stadium. The first 50 students will receive free admission with a valid Cane Card. THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Hurricanes find meaning in rivalry game Seniors prepare for final trip to Tally BY AUSTEN GREGERSON SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

Miami ’s last road trip of the season begins this Saturday against Florida State, an unusually meaningless game in this rivalry. A contest between two teams barely above .500 late in the season (the Canes are 5-3 and the Noles are 6-3) rarely has much significance besides determining which low-tier bowl game bid they ’ll receive. But Miami-Florida State is never that simple. Even without national hype surrounding the game, head coach Al Golden hopes that his players will appreciate the road they ’ve taken, and where it will end up on Saturday. “They have to enjoy it, got to enjoy the journey, ” he said. “The journey is better than the end. I ’ve been saying – and I don ’t want to sound like a broken record – but I think that is part of the deal. ” For the seniors on the team, their final trip to Tallahassee marks the beginning of the end of their careers at Miami. Only two games remain after Florida State. “It ’ll hit me once I get out there, ” said Sean Spence, reflecting on how he ’ll soak in his last game against the Seminoles. “But now I ’m just sticking to the process, making sure I ’m watching film

SPORTS

and doing all the small things. ” That the game will be without the championship implications of years past is of little significance, as both teams have essentially been eliminated from even ACC contention. Seminole war chants have blared through the locker room for the past week and even during practice, reminding players of what they ’ll face in Tallahassee on Saturday. Although he is quite familiar with the meaning behind the matchup from afar, cornerback Mike Williams will join Golden in having his first foray into the rivalry from the inside. After transferring from Wake Forest, Williams has one shot to make his impact on a tradition that extends far beyond either team ’s current record. “It still means a lot to both programs, ” Williams said. “In a rivalry, it doesn ’t matter what the record is of both programs. It ’s always going to be a big game and we ’re both going to bring our best games to the table, and we hope that ’s us. ” Williams and Spence are just two of the defenders charged with stifling the Seminoles ’ offense, which is led by quarterback E.J. Manuel. Manuel currently ranks No. 12 nationally in terms of pass efficiency and, as a whole, his passheavy offense averages nearly 36 points per game. Though Miami ’s defense gives up an average of 384 yards per game, in the red zone

symbolism of stepping into DoakCampbell Stadium for the last time, maintaining that it ’s just the game itself that they ’ll be worrying about come gametime. But if it were up to Golden, the moment they hear the War Chant, see the Tomahawk Chop and watch Chief Osceola thrust his flaming spear into midfield for the final time in their Hurricane careers, they ’ll take a moment – brief though it may be – to

appreciate what it will mean to them long after the game itself is over. “Part of it is that it is such a vicious cycle at Miami because the expectations are so high that if you lose one or two, everyone is saying that the season is a failure or the season is lost, ” Golden said. “And as soon as you make a couple plays, they push you to the NFL. All I ’m trying to do is get the kids to enjoy the journey, enjoy today. ”
