With a doubleovertime shootout in the 102nd minute from freshman forward Ashley Flinn, the UM women ’s soccer team defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

BY CHELSEA KIMMEY SENIOR NEWS WRITER

Imagine the University of Miami in 1965: no freshmen towers, no cafeterias, no shuttles and no organized student life. That same year, William R. Butler joined UM, becoming vice president of student affairs at the request of former president Henry King Stanford. Prior to his arrival at UM, Butler served as the dean of students at Ohio University. But Butler had no qualms about packing up with his wife, Jenny, and making the move down south when Stanford insisted he was “the man for the job. ” “A lot of people thought I was crazy to come down here because there was a lot that needed to be done, ” Butler said. His first act was to establish the school ’s radio station, WVUM. Stanford had appointed him treasurer of the station while Butler was still in Ohio. “To get it where it is today, we had to work out a deal with CBS to get a tower, ” he said. “It ’s amazing that in 1965 it was just a little station, 10 watts, between men ’s dormitories. ” Butler is also responsible for what are now Hecht and Stanford Residential Colleges. But in the first half of the school ’s history, the apartments and Pearson Hall were the only housing. Butler remembers telling the administration to replace the “gaudy green, red and orange plastic curtains hanging from the

sponsible for admissions and financial aid, where he worked to establish the diversity and international outreach for which UM is so well-known today. Part of his plan was to hire younger staff members that could help Butler develop his vision. “When I came we only had a handful of black students and 200 or 300 international ones, ” he said. “By the time I retired, we were able to bring in more than 1,000 black students, 2,500 international students, and that flavor has stuck. ” Butler also founded the Center for Volunteer Services and Leadership Development (SLC), which bears his name. The center oversees the many student organizations that offer students several opportunities to volunteer and take on leadership roles. “It has more than met my fondest hope with what it would do, ” he said. “It adds a dimension of sensitivity and positive value to those young people. ” Butler also created the Stu-

dents Activities Fee Allocation Committee (SAFAC) to ensure that the funds from students ’ activities fees were properly distributed among the organizations. In 1996, the year before he retired, the Wellness Center opened. Unsatisfied with the school ’s gym, he had sought donations from alumni and others connected to the school. He views the building as his final contribution to the university. After spending 32 years at UM, Butler took seven years encapsulating the school ’s history in his book “Embracing the World: The University of Miami – From Cardboard College to International and Global Acclaim. ” The book, which was published in 2008, is currently sold in the university ’s bookstore. All proceeds go to the SLC. “President Stanford said, Bill you better write a definitive history of the university, ” Butler said. “You are the only person who knows enough about it. ”

Sexual health resources on campus

New club gets members’ motors running

UM offers several opportunities, like those shown below, for students to become aware of sexual health.

Free condoms are offered in the Health Center, but not in more frequented locations like the residential colleges.

The Health Center offers blood tests for STIs, but does not provide the option of oral HIV or STI testing.

UM does not require an online sexual health course for incoming freshmen.

Resources are available for students, but the survey shows they are not being used. GRAPHIC BY DEMI RAFULS

UM drops in sexual health rankings Study shows lack of on-campus resources BY JACKIE SALO STAFF WRITER

The University of Miami dropped three spots to No. 59 on the Trojan Condoms ’ list of sexually healthy campuses. Each year, independent research firm Sperling ’s BestPlaces analyzes the resources and information available to students on 140 campuses nationwide. The data is collected through student health center representatives, and secondary research on those centers and the student body. “It is all about sexual health and awareness, ” said Bert Sperling, the study ’s researcher. “It is not measuring how healthy students are because that information isn ’t available and comparable. It is about the availability of sexual resources and information so students can make the right choices for themselves. ” UM remains behind other schools in Florida such as the University of Florida, which is ranked No. 8, and Florida Atlantic University, which is ranked No. 53. The criteria evaluated in the study includes sexual health awareness programs, contraceptive availability and the opportunity for students to receive anonymous advice. It also took into account the student opinion of the health center and if it offered HIV and STI testing. There are many student organizations that work to promote sexual health on campus. Organizations in-

clude Vox, which raises awareness about sexual health and reproduction rights, and A Week 4 Life, which educates students on issues relating to HIV/AIDS and reproductive health. A Week 4 Life hosts events such as Sex on the Beach, which is a discussion about reproductive health, and participates in AIDS Walk Miami. In addition to student organizations, UM ’s Student Health Center performs HIV and STI tests, but doesn ’t have the option of oral tests. Some students, however, would prefer an oral test rather than getting their blood drawn. Free condoms are also available at the front desk. “People dread the basket because it is right there in the front and it doesn ’t have a lot of variability, ” said senior Ryan Walker, who is a chair of A Week 4 Life. “Perhaps they could put it at the computer desk where you make appointments where people won ’t see you take them. ” However, condoms are not currently available in the dorms. “They should have a basket in the bathroom or something of that nature, ” Walker said. Another measure the university can take to improve its ranking is a mandatory online course for sexual health similar to its alcohol education course. Colleges that made the top 10 ranking took advantage of social media and online websites to raise awareness. The Student Health Center website has a component with different sexual health resources. The researchers looked at the website ’s usability and functionality.

“We didn ’t see anything about HIV testing on the website as far as what services were available, what the cost was, where it was done and when you would receive the results, ” Sperling said. Columbia, which was ranked No. 1, has a website called Go Ask Alice, where students can write in questions or comments anonymously. “Other campuses have students write in anonymously and a professor answers it - not just for the student but for the other thousands of students in the school who might have the same question, ” Sperling said. While the university has expanded its resources through Facebook, the UM Sexual Health Community Advisory Board page on Facbeook only has 18 likes. “It is not that engaged with the students, ” Walker said. “They need to put the word out. ” Florida was the state that had the nation ’s second highest reported AIDS diagnoses in 2009, according to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention. “People don ’t understand that Miami is one of the cities that has the highest HIV rate, ” Walker said. The study, which has been conducted for the sixth year, has motivated universities to take its “sexual health report card ” and learn what it can improve on. “It is making a big impact on students, ” Sperling said. “We have seen students take the results of the study, go to the administration, and use it as a tool to say that they are not doing as well as they could and that things could change. ”

Group offers motorcycle classes, licensing resources BY LYSSA GOLDBERG ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Canes can now strap on their helmets and ride their Harley Davidson bikes to the next meeting of the recently-founded Descendants Motorcycle Club. The club, which is now up-and-running after about a year of work, aims to gather motorcycle enthusiasts among the university ’s student body and faculty through a recreational club, president Michael Critch said. Vice president Enrico Dominguez heard a motorcycle club was in the works from the Student Activities staff when he applied to start his own. “I contacted Mike Critch, who was the active president, and asked him if he would mind taking on my logo and name, and I would get involved and help promote the club, ” Dominguez said. “We teamed up and are making it happen. ” Interested members that don ’t ride motorcycles can join the club, and learn to ride through classes and get licensed through the state of Florida. The club ’s executive board members can also help students choose their first bikes. “It can be intimidating trying to get into motorcycling, but I think with joining this club we can help more people discover the thrill of motorcycling, ” Dominguez said. The club ’s goal is to promote motorcycling as a fun recreational activity by providing information on rides in the community, local events, club meetings, licensing opportunities and safety awareness. “It is important for our university to have an organization that promotes this alternative form of transportation, and encourages students and faculty that choose to ride rather than drive, ” Critch said. Through group rides, members can rack up the mileage on their bikes, gain experience and find new friendships along the way. “You ’re not just joining in an activity, ” Critch said. “You ’re also becoming a part of a passionate community of people who are dedicated to the experiences that motorcycling provides. ” The club is planning day trips to places outside of Miami, such as Daytona, Fla., for Daytona Beach Bike Week.

THE LAUNCH PAD

Annual entrepreneurship week motivates students Events teach failure is a part of success BY ELIZABETH DE ARMAS STAFF WRITER

The University of Miami ’s Launch Pad will present Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) starting Monday. This worldwide initiative is celebrated in more than 100 countries and marks UM ’s fourth year participating. Events are geared toward informing and engaging future entrepreneurs. The Launch Pad opened in 2008 with a goal to encourage students to pursue their dreams in entrepreneurship and put their ideas into action. Since then, it has been ranked the No. 1 U.S. campus partner by GEW. Susan Amat, the executive director and co-founder of The Launch Pad, organized GEW and looks forward to the turnout. In 2010, more than 5,000 people attended GEW on campus. “We do GEW to make it accessible to everyone on campus, so whether or not you know anything about business you can come to one of the events and just listen to the stories of these people who have done fascinating things, ” Amat said. “They ’ll admit to you that they didn ’t know what they were doing when they started out, but they learned by doing. ” One of GEW ’s goals is to get students and young people in the community to understand that failure is a part of the process and mistakes are made along the way. “We want our students, alumni

and people in the community to go to an event, hear this entrepreneurial story and understand that failure is sometimes a part of that big success story you hear, ” Amat said. One of the first events of GEW is An Evening of Fashion with South Florida ’s trendiest fashionistas. The event will include a local designer panel and two keynote speakers, Alina Villasante of Peace Love World and Loren Ridinger of Market America. Other events include the fourth annual Elevator Pitch contest, which is open to students and the community, and the Building Your Brand breakfast with America ’s top Hispanic marketing firm. Although GEW is geared to educate and motivate future entrepreneurs, all majors are invited to attend the events. There will be a wide variety of business owners from different industries, such as technology, fashion, law and medicine. “Entrepreneurship Week is that time to share your dreams and your visions for what you want your future to look like and start reaching for them, ” Amat said. Senior Shahzain Malik helped organize GEW and feels that the event is a great experience and opportunity for students. “GEW has been my favorite event that is put on by the university because there is so much to be learned from all the successful people they bring in to speak, ” Malik said. “One of the former speakers did exactly what I was interested in and I ended up getting an internship from him. ”

Casinos threaten Florida lifestyle It looks like Disney could face some competition for Florida ’s tourism dollars. A bill has been proposed that would allow multiple $2 billion casinos to open in South Florida. This debate has the Walt Disney Company and the Florida Chamber of Commerce, in favor of a wholesome family image, facing heavy resort-casino investment. This past spring, the Genting Corporation, a company from Malaysia, bought 30 acres along Biscayne Bay for one of the three casino projects. Genting has plans to invest considerably more money, and has talked about fixing highways and partnering with nearby businesses. Proponents of the bill point out that it will create jobs, help Florida ’s slumping economy, unify gambling in the state and attract a wealthier clientele. These large resorts would bring in new businesses and money, helping Miami f lourish as a cosmopolitan city. However, the bill has yet to gain traction with numerous political figures. Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez worries about these resorts “sucking the life out of ” neighborhoods, and Gov. Rick Scott says he doesn ’t want Florida ’s economy to “over-rely ” on gambling, according to an article in The New York Times. Bringing in this kind of significant development would definitely make some improve-

ments to South Florida. However, there is an array of negative effects that could result if this bill is passed. While the casinos may bring in more tourists, it is highly unlikely that they ’ll venture from the premises. These resorts are self-contained and wouldn ’t necessarily promote the exploration of surrounding businesses and activities. Gambling also comes with a negative stigma and worries about what this would do to the city. Las Vegas and Atlantic City, two of the U.S. ’s gambling capitals, aren ’t known for being the classiest of places, and some expect Miami to have the same fate. Representatives from the Florida Chamber of Commerce have been saying that this bill is targeting Florida because desperate times call for desperate measures. They feel that, in a good economy, this idea would never gain traction. There is a good chance that this is true. Our lawmakers should take a step back and look at this from all angles before supporting a move that could end up doing more to damage Miami than to benefit it.

+ Changing it up for winter weather BY EDYNA GARCIA CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

A cardigan! This applies to everyone. It ’s the perfect clothing item to keep you feeling warm and stylish on chilly mornings. Once the heat sets in, it ’s easy to remove, fold and store away in your purse or book bag.

Boots! Combat boots are especially in style this season for both men and women, not to mention that they ’re an easy way to keep your feet covered from the chilly weather without keeping you too warm. Did I mention they ’re super comfortable? When investing in a pair, I highly recommend turning to popular brands, such as Steve Madden, Bakers, Zara, H&M and Forever 21, to avoid buying a pair that actually looks like they belong on a battlefield.

s we say our goodbyes to October and welcome November, it’s time to start thinking of changing up our wardrobe. It’s that inevitable time of the year when our mornings are comprised of a chill, requiring a jacket, turtle neck, jeans, boots and scarf – well, this may be a bit of an exaggeration – all to be torn off when the sun positions itself at noon and there’s no escaping the usual Miami heat. Of course, this only lasts until 4 p.m., when the sun subsides and you begin layering once again. Even for the Miami native, it’s difficult to know how to dress during this time of the year. You want to be bundled up to avoid the cold (well, at least that’s what we Miamians consider it to be), but still wear light and easily removable clothes as we get our daily dose of heat. So, here are a few tips to deal with the bipolar weather you’ll be facing for the next four months or so.

edge

A light scarf! Scarves are always a fun accessory, and they can dress up any outfit instantly. Throw it on over a T-shirt and jeans when you ’re running late (and your combat boots), and you ’ll look put together for the rest of the day. And if it gets too hot, just take it off and store it away in your book bag or purse.

Sunglasses! Hey, we ’re the Sunshine State after all! In Miami, unlike various cities, the sun will always be present (even on those rare 50 degree days), which means you should have your sunglasses on you at all times.

AUSTEN T h e GREGERSON Canes (5-5, SENIOR SPORTS 3-4 ACC) WRITER must now fight to even become bowleligible after their 23-19 loss at Florida State (7-3, 5-2). Many expected the familiarity of this rivalry game to snap Miami into focus, and they delivered in some ways. But the Canes ’ achievement in outgaining the Seminoles 383 yards to 259, holding them to just 63 yards on the ground in the process, was rendered meaningless when penalties, special teams gaffes and costly turnovers consistently thwarted their momentum. “It ’s just, we pretty much handle a lot of stuff, but unfortunately they still came out victorious, ” said safety Vaughn Telemaque, who led the team with seven tackles. “We tried to contain E.J.

The stat sheet doesn ’t matter. ” Though Miami claimed the last five matchups against the Seminoles, the atmosphere at sold-out Doak Campbell

stadium on Saturday proved too hostile for the road team to come away with a win. In a bizarre first half - one that included a fumble returned for a Seminoles touchdown (which was promptly overturned), a Jacory Harris interception in the endzone and a muffed punt, among other oddities - the Canes did manage to grab an early 7-3 lead. After falling behind 23-7 well into the fourth quarter, Miami made another late run to make the game close. Harris, who finished the game with a touchdown, an interception and 225 yards passing, has acted out that script many times. The end result: a fifth loss that returned the Canes to .500. “Losing the close games are the tough ones, and every game we ’ve lost this year has been close, down to the wire, ” Harris said. “It ’s devastating when you lose them like that. You always feel like you have a chance to win, but you just run out of time. ” Credit for both the players and coaching staff is deserved, but the fact that each loss has been decided in the fourth quarter – all of them decided by one score – has players such as Telemaque frustrated. “We ’ve got to be down for everyone else to come up, ” Telemaque said. “You ’ve gotta get guys on the field who want to make that difference that

changes the game. ” Now just two games remain, one at South Florida and one against Boston College, and a bowl trip is anything but assured. The Canes must fight to extend their season and avoid sending the seniors ’ careers to an abrupt end. Senior center Tyler Horn slouched at the post-game press conference as he acknowledged that his days in a Miami uniform are numbered. “It ’s very tough, but it ’s part of it, ” Horn said. “I got 14 days left, they ’re dwindling down, but all I can do is focus on the next game. You invest so much into a game plan and when you get so close and fall short, it ’s tough. That ’s football. You have to execute at the end. Great teams are able to get the o-nside kick or make the field goal, it ’s just part of it. Great teams don ’t put themselves in that situation. ” Miami is not a great team. Nobody could seriously categorize the Canes as such after 10 rocky games. However, there is talent and ability on this team that hasn ’t translated into more wins simply because of missed opportunities. “Frustration is just losing, ” Telemaque said. “You see the points that we lose by, it ’s not something that you think the other team is dominating. It ’s really tough. We just have to figure out which way we ’re

Team defeats Alabama in back-and-forth match SOCCER FROM PAGE 1 The Canes did not trail for long, as freshman Shannon Caspar scored a header goal off a cross from Ashley Flinn in the 29th minute. Tenacious goaltending by senior keeper Vikki Alonzo held the Crimson Tide scoreless for the rest of the period, and the two teams headed into halftime tied at 1-1. The second half featured aggressive play from both sides. Alonzo kept up her stonewall goalkeeping with the help of a strong defensive line led by junior Ali Brennan. In the 71st minute, Alabama finally broke through with a goal from freshman Laura Lee Smith, assisted by junior Katelyn Smith off a rebounded save. True to Hurricane form, UM wasted no time in returning fire. On a free kick from Schwitter, Howarth sent a header goal sailing past Tide goalkeeper

Justine Bernier in the 77th minute to tie the game at 2-2. The goal was Howarth ’s 11th of the season. The remaining minutes of regulation ticked away without a goal from either team, and the scoreless play continued through an additional 10 minutes of overtime. Finding themselves in a familiar sudden-death situation, the Hurricanes capitalized on an opportunity in the second overtime period in dramatic fashion. Flinn buried the gamewinning goal in the 102nd minute on a well-placed through ball from Howarth. “It was a back-and-forth, really exciting match, ” Anagnost said. “We ’re really proud of our women. This is a really special group – they ’re just never ever down and out. They just fight and claw to the very end. ” The Hurricanes will face Long Beach State in a secondround matchup on Friday.

Squad picks up two victories on road Team comes away with eight-game winning streak BY ADAM BERGER SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

ZACH BEEKER // The Miami Hurricane

SPIKING IT: Sophomore rightside hitter Alex Johnson plays against NC State on Nov. 6. The Hurricanes won the match 3-0.

The women ’s volleyball team has won eight consecutive matches after defeating Duke and Wake Forest last week. With three matches remaining in the regular season, the Hurricanes are playing the best they have all year. Miami traveled to North Carolina for a pair of road matches and came away with their 22nd and 23rd victories of the year, beating the Duke Blue Devils 3-0 on Thursday and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 3-1 on Saturday. Miami now holds a 23-3 overall record and a 14-3 record in ACC play. On Thursday night, Miami had arguably its most dominant performance of the 2011 season against the Blue Devils. Not a single player on Duke ’s team reached the double-digit kills mark, and Miami won handily by set scores of 25-12, 2516 and 25-16. Senior middle blocker Ali Becker and senior outside hitter Lane Carico once again led the Hurricanes offensively. Becker collected a matchhigh 15 kills, while Carico was just behind her, finding the hardwood 14 times herself. Miami only trailed for a total of four service points in the entire match. In Saturday night ’s contest, the Hurricanes exhibited a team effort against Wake Forest. Miami had five players with double-digit kills in the match, and Carico led the way once again with 16 and outside hitter Christine Williamson had 14. Becker, redshirt freshman Emani Sims and sophomore Alex Johnson had 10 kills each. Senior

setter Katie Gallagher also put up impressive numbers, coming away with 52 assists and 11 digs in the match. Miami won by set scores of 22-25, 25-16, 25-23 and 25-17. It was the second time this season that the Hurricanes beat Duke and Wake Forest in the same weekend. Miami will hit the road again at the end of this week to take on Georgia Tech and Clemson. The Yellow Jackets, a team that has been a thorn in Miami ’s side over the past two seasons, defeated the Hurricanes 3-1 earlier this year. The Hurricanes have lost their past three matches to Georgia Tech, and if head coach Nicole Lantagne Welch ’s squad plans to beat the Ramblin ’ Wreck, they will have to shut down Monique Meade. Tech ’s outside hitter recorded 19 kills the last time the two teams met in the middle of October. The contest against Georgia Tech is on Friday night, while the match against Clemson will take place on Saturday. Miami will then return to Coral Gables and play its regular season home finale against Florida State at the Knight Sports Complex on Nov. 26.

REMAINING GAMES At Georgia Tech on Friday at 7 p.m. and at Clemson on Saturday at 6 p.m. Track these games at hurricanesports.com. Against Florida State at home on Nov. 26 at 5 p.m. Listen live on 90.5 FM or on wvum.org.

Canes achieve victory after an awkward start

Slow first half shows struggles, weaknesses BY PATRICK RILEY CONTRIBUTING SPORTS WRITER

Even though Miami won its home opener against Texas-Pan American 83-37 last Friday, the mood after the game was far from euphoric. Nobody was pleased with the Hurricanes ’ slow start against a team that sported a 3-14 road record last season. “Not quite sure exactly why we were so awkward to start the game, ” head coach Katie Meier said. “I don ’t know a better word. It just felt very awkward and there was no flow, there 12

was no rhythm, there was no energy. ” Early on, the Canes struggled to find a way to score effectively on a visiting team that managed to hang around until late in the first half. Miami was up by just 11 points late in the half when the offense finally started to click. Two big baskets, including a three-pointer by junior guard Stefanie Yderstrom, helped provide the spark. But a 20-point lead at the half was far from satisfactory for Meier. “I told them they were playing as bad as my haircut, ” she said during halftime. “And I was yelling, I mean, I was yelling and then that flew out and then there was a silence and I was like, ‘You can laugh. That was funny. ’ ” After Meier ’s unconventional halftime speech, the Canes did away with their offensive

woes and finished with a field goal percentage of 41.8, even though they started the game at just 23 percent. The turnaround had a lot to do with the outstanding play of National Player of the Year candidate Shenise Johnson, who finished with 20 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists. Even though Johnson dismissed the notion that Miami was caught looking ahead to Tuesday ’s showdown with Tennessee, she couldn ’t hide her excitement for the nationallytelevised game in Knoxville at the post-game press conference. “I really think it ’s probably one of the highlights of the year for women ’s basketball, ” Johnson said. “We both like to run up and down, they like to press, we like to press. I think

it ’s going to be a very intense, competitive, hardfought chess match. We ’re going to leave it out there on the floor. ” Tuesday ’s matchup against the No. 3 team in the country will be the first major litmus test for a Hurricane team that hopes to go deep into March play. But while Miami won ’t get away with offensive lapses and slow starts against the Lady Volunteers, Meier knows that the game against Texas-Pan American was a wake-up call at the right time for the seventh-ranked Canes. “I think we needed to see that we got a lot of work to do before Tuesday ’s game, and it ’s perfect timing, a perfect spot in the schedule, ” she said. “It ’s just fantastic to have struggled in this game and then have Tennessee looming, because we ’ll have their attention in practice. ”
