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

SPECTRUM BECOMES UPRIDE, RAISES RED FLAG

BY SOPHIE BARROS SENIOR NEWS WRITER

After almost a decade, UM’s LGBTQ student organization, formerly known as SpectrUM, changed its name to UPride. This decision was met with mixed response from some of the club’s members and alumni, prompting the club’s exDESIGN BY SARBANI GHOSH

ecutive board (e-board) to organize a town hall meeting Sunday afternoon.

UPride was founded in 1992 under the name GLBC (Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Club), making this the second rebranding action the club has undergone. UPride President Jacob Rudolph announced the name

change in a memorandum sent to the UM community in early August.

This memorandum ignited the controversy that led to Sunday’s meeting. Although current members and alumni were able to express their differing opinions, the e-board ultimately decided to keep the name UPride.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Wi-Fi access points increase in residential colleges SecureCanes becomes more reliable

BY LYSSA GOLDBERG ONLINE EDITOR

WirelessCanes – which, in students’ minds, is synonymous with wireless Internet on campus – has often been the butt of students’ jokes.

“I didn’t get wireless service in my room, and my roommates got spotty service,” junior Matthew Smith said. “I just used Ethernet all year in my room.”

That might come to an end soon, when the university triples the amount of wireless access points (APs) on the Coral Gables campus this month. Residents in the dorms will see the most significant change.

Stewart Seruya, assistant vice president of IT infrastructure, said there will be a tenfold increase in APs in the residential colleges, which will gain nearly 3,000 new devices.

“We’re about to put wireless in every single residential room,” he said. “That’s a complete change in our model.”

All residents have had wired Internet connections in their rooms since 1997, and wireless Internet became available on campus in 2001.

“It’s not like we didn’t have good wireless,” Seruya said. “This is just giving us better wireless. Students can have virtually unlimited devices connected, and they’re going to hopefully have substantially better wireless Internet than they would at home.”

Seruya explained that technology on campus goes through “a constant refresh.” Although this is a significant upgrade, the typical IT strategy involves minor technology updates and finetuning.

Even the communal bathrooms in the Hecht and Stanford residential colleges will be gaining APs. Seruya said this was not an unreasonable request from students because they like to stream music while they’re in the shower.

Requests came from surveys, students and Student Government (SG) liaisons last year.

Last year’s IT liaisons within SG’s Campus Liaison Council, Joseph Choi and Niurka Monteserin, made UMIT aware of student concerns about wireless connectivity issues after former SG President Bhumi Patel issued a survey to the student body.

We decided to tackle several specific issues, including a multipleauthentication request issue which made connecting to SecureCanes difficult,

poor connectivity in the newly opened UC Patio and SAC regions, and dropped connections in the Mahoney-Pearson residential colleges,” Choi said.

The new devices being deployed in the rooms didn’t exist a year ago, according to Seruya. They are physically more compact, and they minimize interference by allowing individuals to adjust the signal strength so the frequencies don’t overlap.

Senior Mateja Kalajian, who has encountered wireless issues on campus in the past, was glad to hear about the upgrades.

“I think it’s a good idea, especially given the outrageous amount of tuition we pay to go to this school,” Kalajian said.

The new APs will be installed in the dorms over the next few weeks – hopefully sometime by mid-September, according to Seruya.

“The only reason it wasn’t added sooner is because it simply doesn’t exist,” he said.

The university will be receiving the devices in batches of 1,000 and installing them as they come in. IT will work with Housing and Residential Life during the process to make sure that students are aware of the installation schedule.

CLUB SPORTS EXPO

“Technicians will need to enter student rooms to install the wireless node, but will be doing so under supervision to ensure the security of students’ belongings,” Seruya said.

Installation should take about 15 minutes per room, according to Seruya.

When students take advantage of this wireless upgrade, the university encourages them connect to WiFi using SecureCanes because it has an unlimited capacity and never times out.

WirelessCanes, which is meant for guests on campus, has fewer features.

Referring to all of wireless Internet on campus as WirelessCanes is a misnomer.

“People think, ‘Maybe I’ll get better service with one or the other,’” Seruya said. “But it’s all the same antenna.”

Senior Mattan Comay, who is living in Mahoney for the third year, used to think “WirelessCanes was the worst.”

He’s having a better experience at the start of this semester.

“Sometimes I would plug in my Ethernet because it would work better, and I couldn’t get SecureCanes working until literally yesterday – not at all last year,” Comay said. “So far, no WiFi problems now, though, so that’s a plus.”

University of Miami’s Department of Athletics is hosting an open house from 6 to 7 p.m. on Friday at the Knight Sports Complex. The event will give new students an upclose look at UM athletics as well as a chance to interact with current UM student-athletes. There will be pizza and prizes followed by the soccer game at 7 p.m.

All 46 active clubs will be showcased at the Herbert Wellness Center and Intermural Fields from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday. Students are welcome to walk around the building and outside to learn more about participating club sports and learn how to join or get more involved.

PHOTO BRIEF

Friedman speaks at Convocation WORDS OF WISDOM: New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman gives a speech about technology and globalization at the New Student Convocation during Orientation on Wednesday.

Friedman, a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner for international reporting and commentary, told his audience of freshmen, transfer students and their families that every college student in this age of hyperconnectivity will have to find his or her own “unique value contribution” to take into the job market.

“It is time to live our lives in the light,” said Fiona Collins, UPride Secretary, prior to the town hall meeting. “While we will still act as an important resource for those who are not able or ready to be out, it is also important for us to move into the 21st century and embrace the great wave of change and support that has characterized the LGBT movement in recent years.”

Much of the dissatisfaction came from the way the e-board chose the name and what the name represents. At the meeting, the club’s e-board acknowledged the fault in their decision-making process, which Rudolph described as “authority without discussion.”

Some of the people who attended the meeting wished to remain anonymous, as part of the club’s mission is to provide a safe space for its members.

Alumna Christina Robinson, who attended the discussion, publicly shared her concerns before the meeting. She argued against the name change because she believes that changing the organization’s name would “alienate those past members who felt personally connected to the name SpectrUM.” Robinson also said that the rebranding of the club would isolate a large group of students that are not at ease with the idea of pride or “prospective members who are not yet comfortable being ‘out’,” as was her case when she first came to UM.

Fellow alumnus Daniel Nyson was also dissatisfied with the decision.

“In short, the allegedly unanimous E-board decision to change the name without the consultation of the entire group, serves as an example of mass political corruption, ostracizing many of SpectrUM’s own members, and serves as a great disservice to the UM LGBT community at large, taking us backwards into conformity instead of forwards toward individuality,” he said prior to the meeting.

The club’s former vice president Tori MacDonell addressed another problem with the name change – it excludes members of the LGBTQ community.

“Pride events have historically, as well as recently, excluded the transgender and asexual communities, among others,” MacDonell said, after the meeting. “The statement that the board appears to be making is that these groups don’t matter to them. We are minorities within this minority group and we are not being acknowledged even as we are speaking out now.”

Others felt the name change didn’t impact the club’s mission.

“Names don’t define people, people define names,” Collins said, during the meeting.

UPride is open to revisiting this issue again in the future. Rudolph acknowledged that “compromise is feasible.”

Winkelsas wins support

UM becomes first two-time host of Clinton Global Initiative University Program inspires social action

BY ERIKA GLASS MANAGING EDITOR

The Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) is coming back for seconds.

President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton will return to the University of Miami this spring to host the 2015 CGI U meeting from March 6 to 8 at the Coral Gables campus. UM is the first university to hold the program more than once.

The university previously welcomed CGI U for its third annual meeting in 2010.

“CGI U is really drawn to college campuses that have a demonstrated interest in public service and civic engagement,” said Bill Wetzel, director of CGI U. “We are really, really excited to come back given

the commitment to public service and civic engagement that the university has.”

As part of the Clinton Foundation’s Clinton Global Initiative, CGI U brings together college students and global leaders to implement solutions to social issues around the world.

Thousands of students from around the world convene each spring for the program. Students that participate in CGI U are asked to apply ahead of time with their ideas for “Commitments to Action” across five areas: education, environment and climate change, poverty alleviation, peace and human rights, and public health.

The goal of the meeting is to workshop those commitments so that the students are able to continue their projects once the program is over.

UM’s projects from 2010 include a service learning initiative by Student Government (SG) that creates opportunities for students to participate in

BY ALEXANDER GONZALEZ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

community service projects that relate to their coursework.

“It’s a very energetic group of international college students that come together to talk about, basically, making the world a better place,” UM President Donna E. Shalala said. “It’s a training ground for the next generation of leaders in the world.”

But Shalala says that CGI U is not just about another Clinton visit – as the family has frequented the campus.

“It’s not just them,” Shalala said. “It’s the whole event, and it’s the fact that about a thousand college students from all around the world will descend on the University of Miami and see our quality and brilliance. ...

It brings great honor to the university.”

The deadline to apply for early admission and travel assistance is Oct. 17, and the final deadline is Dec. 1. Admissions are on a rolling basis.

Information about volunteer opportunities will be announced through the Division of Student Affairs.

Senior Audrey Winkelsas, whose 24-hour attendant care was cut off when she turned 21 in October, has had this Medicaid benefit restored.

Winkelsas has spinal muscular atrophy, a form of muscular dystrophy, and needs aroundthe-clock care to attend school. During spring 2014, she created a change.org petition that garnered about 7,570 signatures to help raise awareness.

She announced on the site Sunday that her care was reinstated.

“Last week, I received the news that I will be receiving 24/7 care for the 2014-2015 academic year that will enable me to complete my undergraduate degree,” she posted on the change. org site.

According to Florida’s Medicaid provider handbook, necessary services like 24-hour care are suspended after a person turns 21.

Last spring, Winkelsas’s mother, Keely Winkelsas, stayed in Miami to ensure that her daughter could finish her studies.

During her first two years at UM, four different attendants, who worked 12-hour shifts at a time on different days of the week, looked after Winkelsas as she completed her studies.

Winkelsas is studying biochemistry in the hopes of finding a cure for spinal muscular atrophy, the condition she was diagnosed with when she was seven months old.

STAFF EDITORIAL

Orientation disorients incoming students New students emerge from Orientation week well-versed in several school chants and endowed with intimate knowledge of the route to the BankUnited Center.

But ask one of these supposedly oriented students how to find the registrar’s office, and you’ll probably wish you had consulted some tea leaves instead.

While numerous spirited events, such as Cane Kickoff, foster a sense of community that helps many new students cope with the emotional challenges of living away from home, many end up likening Orientation to a summer camp, a week of fun and excitement with little bearing on their future lives at UM. Orientation, with its focus on introducing students to Hurricane culture, fails to prepare students for the monumental tasks of navigating the academic system and university life as a whole.

When students are not throw-

ing up the U or receiving armfuls of free T-shirts, they are shunted back and forth in huge groups from info session to info session, where they are flooded with information they never hear again.

When Orientation ends, so does any active engagement with new students on the part of faculty and staff. For a week, students are babied, led almost by the hand to every activity, but after August 25, they are expected to extract, all by themselves, the information they need from the university’s murky processes to go abroad, get a transcript or rearrange class schedules.

Even throughout Orientation, students gain little experience in how the university actually works.

By the time classes begin, new students have met with their advisers for approximately 10 minutes and have traveled to the main campus only a handful of times. UMX, an online course designed for first year and transfer students, aims

to supplement these experiences with information on subjects such as leadership and study abroad opportunities. Yet it is a poor substitute for personal, face-to-face connections with university faculty and staff.

Orientation may help incorporate new students into the large and vibrant community of UM, but it does so at the expense of their individual needs. Orientation should make clear to students what resources are available to refine their individual experiences at the university, and not emphasize so much their roles as minor organisms in a huge ecosystem.

It remains unclear what the frantic and fast-paced week actually orients students toward; it seems, instead, to spin them around in circles, make them dizzy and release them into a maze.

Depression requires more than awareness

T

RYAN FITZPATRICK FRESHMAN

SPEAK UP ANSWERS ARE EDITED FOR CLARITY, BREVITY AND ACCURACY. COMPILED BY MONICA SABATES AND SHERMAN HEWITT

he recent death of actor and comedian Robin Williams created a platform to raise awareness about depression and mental health. Journalists like Slate magazine’s David Weigel have come forward with their experiences with depression, and educational efforts such as AsapSCIENCE’s JACKIE YANG CONTRIBUTING video “The Science of Depression” COLUMNIST have gained traction through social media.

The worrisome characteristic of this phenomenon is its fleetingness: Why does it require a shattering tragedy, such as a suicide or a shooting, to direct the public’s attention to mental health? For a condition shared by more than 350 million people worldwide, how has depression managed to hide behind the closed doors of the therapist’s office?

The problem does not lie in the lack of outreach by community organizations, which have in fact increased in number over the past decades with the establishment

of resources such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. The larger obstacle is our response to this increased awareness; it’s making the connection between the people we see in articles to the people in our lives — perhaps even to ourselves. Throwing around hotlines and brochures is pointless if we insist on viewing depression as a distant concept rather than examining traces of mental disorders on a personal level.

The stigma behind coming out as mentally unwell stems from our fuzzy perception of the line where an individual’s personality ends and biological mental disorder begins. As a result, many individuals are quiet about their conditions, due to either confusion or fear of misunderstanding. This invisibility makes depression dangerous.

We are not all guaranteed to know someone who suffers from depression; 350 million is, after all, only five percent of the world’s population. However, it remains our responsibility to be aware, observant and caring, and to intervene when we see that our loved ones are incapable of making safe decisions for themselves.

NICK GANGEMI// PHOTO EDITOR QUITE THE SIGHT: The beach lagoon at Matheson Hammock Park located on Old Cutler Rd. provides the perfect beach getaway without the need for a long car trip.

BY ALEXA LANGEN OPINION EDITOR

Whether it’s your first day ever or your first day back, one of the first things you’ll want to do now that you’ve made it to UM is check out the seashore. With so many miles of coastline, it can be hard to decide where to settle down, but get to know each beach and you’ll find it easy to tailor your experience to whatever wind fills your sail.

On the weekend, Crandon Beach in Key Biscayne teems with smell and sound. Children’s shrieks of laughter slice through the thudding blend of music from overlapping stereos, and the smell of sunscreen, sweat and barbecued meat flood the salty breeze. You won’t be able to commune with nature, but as long as you weren’t expecting peace and quiet, the abundant good cheer will prove infectious.

For a more personal experience with Crandon Park, swing by on a weekday, and those vast stretches of sand will be all yours.

If you can’t make it to the beach on a weekday but still want to avoid the commotion, visit South Beach before 10 a.m. while the usual crowd sleeps off the events of the previous night.

Usually the wind hasn’t picked up by then, and the water is as clear and still as poured resin.

South Beach fills up quickly, but unless there’s lightning, don’t lose your nerve if inclement weather suddenly chases everyone away.

It’s even worth making the trip on a rainy day, to see water and sky interlock in a horizonless sheet, and to hear the muffled patter, like tiny footsteps, of raindrops on the sand.

Key offers a glimpse into Florida’s past, when beaches were untamed swaths of sand and scrub, unshadowed by towering condominiums. Although the current is almost always too strong for swimming, you can fish from rocky outcroppings, or walk along the water and pick up sea glass.

Be aware, though, that Black Beach’s general isolation does require a beachgoer to be a bit more cautious, and it isn’t advisable to go alone.

Matheson Hammock, on the other hand, is much more accessible. Located on Old Cutler Rd., the beach itself will not floor you with any great degree of beauty, but its proximity to campus makes it a great place to dig your toes in the sand for a while; you can easily make the fourmile jaunt on a bike, or even on foot.

If you’re looking for something a bit more off the beaten path, Black Beach on Virginia August 25 - August 27, 2014

Once you’re there, watch the windsurfers out on the bay in front of a reversed Miami skyline, or take a dip in the little lagoon.

But whichever beach you end up frequenting, make sure to take advantage of what you can do only in this peninsular state: watch the sun rise and set over the ocean in the same day.

Head to a shoreline that’s open in the early morning, such as South Beach, watch the sun cross the starting line, and then step on the gas.

Naples is only about two hours away, so you’ll have plenty of time to check out the city before the sun catches up to you and sinks into the Gulf of Mexico.

Freshman quarterback takes charge for upcoming season Team hopes to renew image

BY NEIL DWYER SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

Everything seems to work in the great circle of life – or in this case – football.

Head Coach Al Golden announced Sunday freshman quarterback Brad Kaaya will start in the season opener against Louisville on Sept. 1.

The true freshman drew everyone’s attention in Southern California in his two seasons as a starter at Chaminade-Madonna College Prep. Kaaya threw for 5,730 yards and 40 touchdowns. His senior year, he set a Chaminade record with 3,855 yards and 27 touchdowns. However, the journey he took to step in the shoes of Kelly, Testaverde, Toretta and Dorsey took much determination, and a little bit of fate.

After the 2013 season ended and Stephen Morris declared for the draft, it seemed fifth-year senior Ryan Williams, after serving in the shadow of Jacory Harris and Morris for so long, would finally get the chance to wield the torch.

That chance was derailed with an ACL tear during spring practice, although Williams hopes to be back by the time the Canes play Nebraska on Sept. 22.

Next, redshirt-freshman Kevin Olsen, younger brother of NFL wide-receiver Greg Olsen, was ready to take the offensive reins until Olsen failed a drug test this summer. With these two out for the first game, the starting job was pursued by the senior transfer from Kansas, Jake Heaps, and Kaaya.

Nearly eight months ago, the 2013 season ended flat for the Hurricanes in Orlando, losing to the Louisville Cardinals in the Russell Athletic Bowl 36-9.

This was not the way it was supposed to end. The Canes stunned the college football world, or at least within a 50 mile radius in central Florida, when they upset

the 12th-ranked Florida Gators at home.

By early November, the 7-0, seventh-ranked Canes prepared to fly up to Tallahassee to take on the third-ranked undefeated Florida State Seminoles. The Canes surprised many by making a game of it by halftime, only trailing by a touchdown. The second half was an entirely different story; the Noles shutout the Canes 20-0, and sophomore stud RB Duke Johnson’s season came to a sudden end when he broke his ankle in the 4th quarter.

Back-to-back losses followed.

The first, a rainy homecoming game against Virginia Tech, then a loss to upstart Duke in Durham.

Even two wins against Virginia

and Pittsburgh to close the season couldn’t launch the Canes into the ACC Championship Game.

So now the Canes are back, against who else but Louisville on Labor Day night. The Canes have a difficult task ahead, as the Cardinals have held one of the best homefield advantages in recent years, losing only two home games in the past two seasons.

One of the most exciting players to return for his senior season is LB Denzel Perryman. Last year, the man they call The President and the team’s defensive MVP was a semi-finalist for the Butkus Award, a prize recognizing the best collegiate linebacker. Perryman wearing #52 at linebacker doesn’t hurt,

either, drawing comparisons to former Hurricanes great, NFL ProBowler and two-time Superbowl champion Ray Lewis.

This season is also a chance for RB Duke Johnson to return to prime form. Before his seasonending ankle injury, Johnson ran for 920 yards and six touchdowns in eight games.

So buckle up, Canes fans! The 2014 season is right around the corner, brimming with possibility. Everyone, including Miami, Florida State and Bethune-Cookman starts out with a fresh record.

Who knows what the season will bring?

Team sweeps Spanish campaign Players tour ancient architecture

BY MASON LIU CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Miami Hurricanes concluded a 10-day excursion in Spain with a perfect 4- 0 record following a 116 - 64 win over AEC Collblanc Torrassa Thursday.

The Canes arrived in Madrid on Aug. 13. They spent the f irst three days touring the city, visiting Toledo, and attending a U M alumni event at the Hotel Emperador on their f irst night.

The team started off their campaign against Eurocolegio Casvi. Junior Sheldon McClellan and freshman Ja’Quan Newton led all scorers with 17 points each, while Madrid native Ivan Cruz Uceda also f illed up the Canes stat sheet with 17 rebounds and two

steals to propel the Canes to a 79- 68 victory.

The Canes played their second game of the four-game long campaign against Albacete Baloncesto. U M pulled off a crucial victory with another stellar performance by McClellan, who notched 24 points and f ive steals. McClellan drained a couple of timely 3-pointers and a dunk to seal a 77- 66 victory for the Canes.

Uceda also dominated on the boards with 13 rebounds in the game.

U M started off back-toback games against CB Quart in Banyoles. McClellan led all scorers with 16 points, Deandre Burnett added 15 points while Davon Reed and Ja’Quan Newton contributed 13 apiece to lift the Canes to a 86 - 64 victory.

They wrapped up the fourgame sweep against AEC Collblanc Torrassa Thursday. Deandre Burnett and McClellan

both racked up a team-high 23 points respectively, closely followed by 22 from Ja’Quan Newton.

Between games, the players had opportunities to sight-see. Many of the players relished the sights and monuments of the cities they visited. “I like the history behind the art in cathedrals – I study religions and philosophies in my free time,� sophomore Mike Fernandez said about the Catedral Primada Santa Maria de Toldeo. “The fact that everything was built and created by hand is fascinating.�

The Canes will start their season off with an exhibition match against Eckerd College on Nov. 6.

This year’s team will feature nine new players on the court after f ive seniors graduated from the program.

DEAR V How to make the most of freshman year

Welcome to the University of Miami! I hope your summers were filled with lots of sunshine, food, fun, laughter and flings.

We’re doing things a little bit differently this year. So instead of you sending me questions every few days, I’m going to give you a little bit of insight into my day-to-day. Of course, I’m always available to soothe your sorrows and answer your questions. I’m like that distant older cousin that you only talk to when you really need them. I’m OK with that.

So to kick things off, in honor of the fresh meat that’s been parading around campus this past week, I’m going to share a few tips and tricks that I learned during my time as a sad, little freshman.

ONE: Hookups are just hookups.

Stop dissecting that Orientation week encounter and making it something more than what it was. Ladies, try to remember that 18-year-old guys are not looking for anything serious. Guys, please try to understand that a post-hookup drunk text does not love make. Take a breather and enjoy your options. You can only

play the “I was a stupid freshman” card for so long. Cherish that power.

TWO: Trying to get with your TA is a bad idea. I really should just leave it at that, but for those of you who need a little bit more handholding and spoonfeeding I’m going to spell it out for you: don’t do it.

I understand that it’s your first semester, and you’re looking to get it on with someone older, wiser and more experienced. Maybe you’ll even absorb more information because osmosis is a powerful thing, right? Wrong. A) swapping spit with a TA will never make you smarter, no matter how often or how many bodily fluids you share and B) when it goes wrong, which it inevitably will, you’ll have to deal with darting eyes staring at you from the back corner of LC 110.

Just trust me, it’s best to stay away from that situation.

THREE: Stop eating. Seriously, put the free pizza down. Trust me, in a few months when you go back home, you’ll thank me.

FOUR: Stop trying so hard. There is not one person that cares about the fact that you’ve skillfully applied five tons of blue eyeshadow. No amount of time or preparation will make you look like Jennifer Lawrence, so unless you’re particularly blessed genetically, you’re going to need to tone it down. As the semester gets going and classes get harder, you’re going to stop planning your outfits and start resorting to sweatpants and old bro tanks anyway, so you might as well start early.

FIVE: Have fun. You’ve probably been bombarded with cheers, chants and posters all telling you how great these four years are going to be, and they will be. Just remember to not get so caught up in the drama of it all and let loose.

You have four years left before you have to be a real adult, so take the time to be a kid.
