Heartbreak at Sun Life Stadium

Advising across the board Schools’ approaches differ, frustrate campus

BY EMMA DEARDORFF STAFF DESIGNER

At the end of each term, about 10,400 full-time University of Miami students across the nine schools rush to the advising offices to plan for next semester.

With this many students and schools, however, advising systems differ based on the number of students in each school and the curriculum. Each program has certain requirements and expectations for its students and a distinct advising style to go along with them.

Other factors, such as cross-school registration and the appointment process, have added difficulties to the process.

MAKING APPOINTMENTS Before registering for classes, most students make an appointment to meet with an advisor. Each school has its own means of scheduling these appointments.

Some colleges, like the School of Communication (SoC), have transitioned to an application that allows students to make advising appointments online. This new system allows students to make an appointment with their advisor through the school’s website.

Students like junior Samantha Pintado, who is enrolled in the SoC, finds the new online system “a bit easier and more organized.”

The School of Business Administration also facilitates advising appointments with GradesFirst.com, an online resource that connects students and faculty.

Nearly 2,231 students are enrolled in the business school for fall 2014, according to UM’s main website. There are five professional advisers, and Jeanne Batridge, director of advising, said the school is looking to hire someone else.

Support group aids minority women Sisters in Sharing offers drop-in discussions

BY SIRISHA GADDIPATI CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

The Counseling Center at the University of Miami has been used for group therapy, short-term individual therapy and outreach programs, but now a focused support group could widen the center’s reach even further.

Sisters in Sharing, a drop-in support group for women of color, was founded by Dr. Kisha Bazelais, a licensed psychologist and Dr. Haana Ali, a psychology resident.

Open to clients and non-clients of the Counseling Center, the program was organized as a safe space for women of color to discuss topics of interest and offer support to one another.

Ali says that looking back to her own experience in college, a support group to deal with the challenges of being a minority woman in college would have been helpful.

“The group is open to what participants want to discuss,” Ali said. “We’re helping minority students adjust on cam-

pus where there’s a majority group, how to process what they’re feeling and to validate what people are experiencing.”

UM students of all ages are encouraged to attend and take part in the discussion. The group is structured so that attendees can drop in on a session, with Bazelais and Ali both available to guide the discussion.

Discussion at each meeting will focus on a theme. Though topics like familial, academic challenges and relationship are universal struggles, Sisters in Sharing also deals with specific areas such as race, culture, sexuality, gender and discrimination.

Chika Gbenoba, a freshman studying psychology, believes this support group is a great idea.

“Just as a place for women of color to come together and relate to one another, it’s so important,” she said. “Maybe it’s a place they can call home.”

Bazelais and Ali, both women of color, have personally experienced challenges of this nature and felt a need to offer a group like this to the UM community, having successfully conducted similar support groups in the past.

“This type of support group can help these women feel less marginalized and better able to cope with concerns related to race and gender, as well as other issues,” Ali said.

Bazelais and Ali say that women of color face unique challenges, particularly in academic settings. Issues of racism, sexism and discrimination can be overwhelming to handle on one’s own.

Ali stresses that the attending the sessions is informal and non-binding, as it is just an opportunity to share and understand the issues that unite these women.

“The hope is that participants will have a better understanding of themselves as racial or cultural beings, be more equipped to manage the unique challenges of being a person of color and develop more support on campus,” Ali said.

Admiral transitions to academia

Employee, mother passes away

Military leader becomes dean of Tufts law school

BY WILLIAM RIGGIN STAFF WRITER

Admiral James G. Stavridis went from leading soldiers through international conf licts to guiding graduate students at Tufts University.

Stavridis, a South Florida native, visited campus Thursday to speak at the School of Business Administration. The former Supreme Allied Commander of Europe of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), who serves as the dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts, spoke at the Cobb Leadership Lecture Series.

Stavridis shared his thoughts on leadership during an interview with The Miami Hurricane.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE: You were the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe for NATO, and you went from that, where you were commanding around 3 million men and women in uniform, to now leading a graduate school with something like 700 graduate students. What was that transition like, and how has your role as a leader changed?

ADMIRAL JAMES G. STAVRIDIS: It’s been a wonderful transition. I loved my career in the military, but I particularly enjoy the freedom of the

academic world, the interplay of ideas; I love being around bright young graduate students. I could not ask for a better spot for me. And here’s really the punch line: the isSTAVRIDIS sues I work with are really the same.

As a NATO commander I worked on international security, hard power, soft power, international relations of the United States. And I get to do the same kinds of issues in a graduate school context as the dean of the Fletcher School.

TMH: What specifically is different when you’re a leader in the military compared to in academia?

JGS: The obvious thing is during a career in the military you tend to lead through authority, you tend to lead by the authority of your position; you can direct people to do certain things.

But in the context of the academic world you have to lead by consensus.

You have to convince people that your ideas are the right ones and help them get to believe in you by the power of your ideas.

Linda Sher-Collado loses battle with cancer

BY SOPHIE BARROS STAFF WRITER

Linda Sher-Collado, who has worked as a reservationist at the University Center (UC) and Student Activities Center (SAC) for the past 23 years, passed away Friday after losing her battle against cancer at 56 years old.

Sher-Collado’s commitment to the University of Miami community led to a nomination for the Association of Greek Letter Organization (AGLO) Outstanding Faculty Member & Staff Award, as well as a recognition during its annual Apple Polishing Reception.

“Linda was beloved by students and the university community,” said Patricia Whitely, vice president of student affairs, in a statement.

“She always tried to help, sharing her ‘can do’ spirit, positive attitude and creative approach warmly with three generations of UM students.”

Sher-Collado resided in Coral Gables with her husband, Alberto, and was the mother of two sons: Griffin, an undergraduate student at UM, and Ian, who just returned to the U.S. after serving the army in Afghanistan.

A devoted sailor, Sher-Collado managed the UC Pool for years and was very supportive of UM’s diving and swimming teams. She was also a member of the Student Affairs Staff Development Committee.

“Linda was always the first to greet me with a smile on her face, even when I was bugging her about all of the crazy problems our organizations were having,” said Justin Borroto,

THANKSGIVING BREAK SHUTTLES Students looking for transportation options for traveling during Thanksgiving break can take the Metrorail’s orange line if traveling to the Miami International Airport. For those needing to get to Ft. Lauderdale International Airport, shuttles will be transporting students from campus for a $25 non-refundable fee. The shuttles will run at 6 a.m., 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Nov. 22.

The shuttles will stop at University Village, Dickinson Circle, Eaton Residential College and Mahoney/Pearson Residential Colleges, and will depart from campus approximately 45 minutes after the hour.

a UM alumnus who worked with Linda. “She didn’t only care about the UM community, but cared about me personally, as she did with all the students that she worked with. I will always remember her for her sarcastic charm, her ability to juggle a million things at once and her perseverance in making things happen. The UM community will miss her dearly.”

According to Whitely, Linda had recently assumed a variety of new responsibilities after transitioning to the SAC, which led her to work closely with clubs and organizations and help students make their programs and events happen.

“Above all, Linda was a consummate Miami Hurricane, a great person who never hesitated to share a smile or a hello as she buzzed through her day,” Whitely said, “She cared and loved our students and community. She will be sorely missed.”

Brandon Gross, assistant director of the Student Center Complex (SCC), shared similar sentiments.

“Her love for students and for her work at the Student Center Complex is what all of us will remember,” Gross said. “Her bubbly personality and positive energy resinated throughout the SCC and will truly be missed. Whether it was at her pool office or her leadership at her new office at the Student Activities Center, Linda has left an indelible mark on our great campus and it was a privilege to have worked with her.”

A Memorial Viewing, open to visitors, has been scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at the Van Orsdel Funeral Home, located at 4600 SW 8th St., Coral Gables, Fla. 33134. A private ceremony will later be held for immediate family members only.

ADVISING FROM COVER

Class selection difficult to navigate Many advisors in the business school take accessibility a step further, especially during class registration time.

“My advisor tried to make walk-in hours available in case you didn’t sign up online, so you could still walk in and make an appointment,” said Christian Horn, a sophomore in the business school. “That’s been very helpful.”

According to sophomore Elliana Golijov, her advisor in the School of Education, Gina Astorini, is almost always available for walk-in appointments. The School of Education website also listed preferred dates for scheduled appointments based on the student’s major and year.

About 531 students are enrolled in the School of Education for fall 2014, according to UM’s main website. The kinesiology advisor, Bethany Angiolillo, sees about 350 to 400 students, and Astorini advises about 200 to 250 students.

Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) students usually have access to an advisor without having to schedule an appointment. Most advisors at the marine school see fewer than 100 students.

RSMAS also allows students to confer with more than one advisor, so if a student’s primary advisor is not available for a walk-in, chances are another advisor will be able to help them.

“Some people see multiple advisors. We allow students to see who they want,” said Will Drennan, associate dean for undergraduate education at RSMAS. “We don’t make it mandatory that they keep seeing the person they are assigned to.”

ARTS AND SCIENCES, CANELINK The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), UM’s largest school with about 4,278 enrolled in fall 2014, assigns students an advisor based on their major. Students who have not declared a major are also housed in CAS. “This is due to the size of the College of Arts and Sciences and the volume of advising needs,” said Athena Sanders, assistant dean of Academic Services for CAS. “Other schools have more centralized advising, but each have a different approach to advising as their students progress through degrees.”

Some students in the CAS develop a comprehensive plan for their full four years at UM with their advisor while others plan their courses each semester.

Some students, such as sophomore Josh Zuchniarz, who is triple majoring in chemistry, math and physics in CAS, find themselves lost in the shuffle. In his experience, the advisors listed on CaneLink are not the most knowledgeable about the curriculum and the CaneLink system.

“I’ve often found myself without guidance from faculty and not knowing something about the classes I want to take,” he said. “I 4

wish that, rather than assigning students to a professor in their major’s department for advising, students were assigned dedicated faculty advisors who have a more full knowledge of CaneLink.”

In 2013, CaneLink replaced the prior online interface, myUM, to view and select classes. The program has been met with dissatisfaction from students and advisors alike.

Business companies and financial firms are the ones that are more likely to sponsor you for visas, so that is one of the reasons why a lot of people from Asia and other places opt for business majors, as they need that job security.

Josh Zuchniarz, Sophomore majoring in chemistry, math and physics

“Advising would be much better if CaneLink was updated and classes that no longer exist are removed from pre-requisite requirements,” said sophomore AJ Skiera, who majors in history and political science in CAS. “Additionally, some advisors have difficulty using CaneLink, so increased awareness in navigating the CaneLink website would be beneficial.”

Despite some frustration, CaneLink has also had many positive benefits on the advising and class-selection process, according to Sanders.

The website allows students to be more independent by giving them the ability to register for classes, create a planner, review their academic records, view holds and directly email their assigned advisor. CaneLink also helps students keep track of financial aid and tuition.

“Any identified issues have been related to the simple fact that it is a new system and it takes time to learn all the details of a new powerful data system,” she said.

ACROSS THE BOARD Other schools, such as RSMAS, also allow for some flexibility in planning.

“My advisor, Dr. Drennan, is great with giving options of what courses I could take and when I could take them,” said Samantha Dowiarz, a RSMAS student.

This, however, is not the case in all of UM’s schools. The Nursing School takes a different approach to advising depending on the student’s academic track.

“BSN [Bachelor of Science in Nursing] students are typically on a planned four-year program of study,” said Yenisey Cabrera, a se-

nior academic advisor in the nursing school.

“BSHS [Bachelor of Science in Health Science] and BSPH [Bachelor of Science in Public Health] are more likely to be semester by semester and we do plan out their four years individually depending on their transfer credits.”

In the School of Engineering (SoE), School of Education and School of Architecture (SoA), advising is rigid because of the degrees’ rigorous requirements.

“Since engineers have a very strict academic schedule, most of our courses are sequenced,” said Olivia Cabanas, a freshman in SoE. “There is not a lot of flexibility for creating our own schedule, like students in other colleges.”

Students studying architecture start each new semester with most of their courses already predetermined. Samuel Wyner, a junior in SoA minoring in marketing said that architecture school advisors “really tell us everything that we have to do. It’s not like business where you have a bit more of a choice…

I choose usually three classes every semester.

The rest are chosen for me.”

The School of Business Administration may have a little more flexibility for students in their course requirements, but with five advisors working with more than 2,000 students, finding time to fully advise each student can be difficult.

“It would be really fantastic if we could have more advisors,” said Jeanne Batridge, the director of advising for the business school. “But there are financial constraints. It depends upon what the upper administration deems important.”

To be able to efficiently advise with their current staff, the business school has implemented a system in which freshman are assigned a teaching assistant (TA) based on an introductory business class. The TA helps answer any questions that the student has about their academics. Each TA oversees 10 freshmen, allowing them to work together closely. “[TAs] assist [freshmen] in the class first semester, then plan their curriculum and see what they’re enrolled in,” Batridge said. “In the second semester, even though a freshman isn’t tied to Business 101 anymore, they’re still going to meet with them. It’s kind of like a fellow, like they do in the residence halls.”

Junior Matthew Getzoff, who works as a TA in the business school, sees the benefit of this system.

“Before my freshmen storm in there not knowing what class to take, they come to me first,” Getzoff said. “By the time they got in [to see their advisor], they tell me that their meeting was very quick and smooth.”

DAKIR MOSSADEQ UNDECLARED ENGINEERING FRESHMAN

“Concerning the second semester, I still have some questions. I’m probably going to go over to the advising office again to ask about it because I’m still not sure what’s going to happen.”

“My advisor is pretty easy to get to. I set up an appointment and met with him the same day. My classes were pretty much laid out already, so there wasn’t much that he had to really do. I had a course substitution that I wanted to do, and he helped me go through that process.

It was a pretty good experience.”

“It’s pretty simple because in my major, they give us the classes we need to take. I don’t choose my own, so it’s pretty simple for me.”

STAFF EDITORIAL

Advising system requires better communication Registration went digital with the introduction of CaneLink in 2013, but students are surely aware that signing up for next semester’s classes isn’t as simple as the press of a button.

For one thing, there’s no substitute for face-to-face human interaction, and while advising is handled differently in each school within the University of Miami, it remains an essential component of the registration process.

Again, not quite as easy as it sounds. Much more than an online appointment-making system, what students really need to navigate the registration process is increased communication.

For example, students double- or triple-majoring in different schools are not usually assigned an advisor in each of their subjects and often experience difficulty locating the individuals who can provide the information they need.

With so many students exploring different areas of study at once, the university should look into appointing liaisons to help students navigate the schools with which they are less familiar. A single advisor, after all, cannot be expected to know everything.

Along those lines, the university could alleviate some of the burden on

individual advisors by establishing a system in which students are assigned a teaching assistant or student advisor in their area of study.

Students would be able to pick the brains of others closer to their age and in similar situations. These advisors could provide more knowledgeable recommendations, drawn from recent personal experience, about the classes that will best suit a student’s needs.

However, students must pull their own weight in the advising process to help it go as smoothly as possible. When you meet with your advisor, do some research on your major and have at least some understanding of the requirements you need to fulfill in order to graduate. Don’t just walk in and say, “I have no idea what to take.”

Advisors are supposed to help you figure out the answer yourself, not just to tell you what to do.

In the end, one advisor may not have all the ingredients for your perfect schedule. But if the university unlocks the pantry, and you’re willing to examine the shelves, you can make a complete meal.

Hillary Clinton’s political past may hinder candidacy

W

ith the results of midterms in and 2016 inching closer by the day, it’s time to start making predictions for the next presidential race.

Hillary Clinton has been making the rounds already.

She hasn’t been explicitly campaigning for the presidenWILL SCHAUB cy, but we all know what her POLITICS aspirations are. You have to COLUMNIST hand it to her; she’s a powerful, well-respected woman in American politics. If a woman were to take office in 2016, she would be the most likely candidate.

However, it’s too early to give the election to Clinton (considering she hasn’t even announced candidacy yet), and there’s an enormous chance she won’t make it. Let’s examine why.

Before serving as Secretary of State for the Obama administration, Clinton served as a Senator from New York. Generally speaking, and Professor Arthur Simon in the political science department will have my back with this claim, Americans prefer governors over senators for the nation’s highest office.

This isn’t always the case, as Mitt Romney will tell you, but it’s certainly a trend: Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter – four of the last five presidents – were all governors.

Why is this a trend? It has a lot to do with leadership, something Obama is constantly criticized for. Governors are very much the “presidents” of their respective states and handle a significant deal of executive power. Senators, on the other hand, are negotiators and legislators. They may emerge as leaders, but it is definitely not a requisite for the job.

However, Clinton’s biggest challenge will be distancing herself from Obama. Despite winning the reelection in 2012, Obama’s popularity is falling dramatically. Just look at the midterms – Democrats couldn’t distance themselves from the president fast enough.

In 2008, John McCain suffered when the media likened him to Bush. McCain never actually served under Bush, and the two have some significantly different views on policy, but McCain could never shake the allegations. The same will be true for Clinton, except she did serve under Obama for four years and previously campaigned in his support.

Granted, since leaving her position as secretary of state, Clinton has been keen to distance herself from the administration, but it may not be enough.

Especially considering her status as the nation’s highest-ranking diplomat and foreign affairs officer when the Benghazi disaster unfolded, costing the life of American Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. It will be a significant challenge for Clinton to distance herself from an increasingly unpopular president.

Finally, Americans are getting tired of political dynasties. Barack Obama came out of nowhere to

sweep the Democratic nomination in 2008 in part because he was a political newcomer; he wasn’t from an established political family, nor had he served a career in politics. Though American voting habits don’t always reflect it, people are dissatisfied with the perception of “more of the same.”

But what about Republicans? You’ve heard enough about Clinton, and the media will only be talking about her more as the election approaches.

I’d put my money on Scott Walker, governor of Wisconsin, making a bid at the presidential nomination. The man has won elections three times in four years (yes, you read that correctly), and has prevailed in what looked like an uphill fight against public and private sector unions.

Marco Rubio, Florida’s own Republican senator, I’d wager, will also enter the race and help steer Hispanic voters away from the Democrats. Paul Ryan, Romney’s running mate, may also enter the picture, but it’s too soon to guess where.

But politics isn’t always predictable, and that’s what makes it so fun – if that’s the right word for it.

Don’t bet your money on Hillary Clinton securing the presidency or the Democratic nomination yet, because she has a lot going against her.

Keep an open mind as the next election draws near, and keep your eyes on the periphery, lest you miss an up-and-coming new face in American politics.

Alumni authors shine in weeklong book festival

BY ASHLEY MARTINEZ EDGE EDITOR

A short Metrorail ride into Downtown Miami transports visitors to a paradise for book lovers, also known as the 2014 Miami Book Fair International. The weeklong festival will feature hundreds of authors and numerous tents filled with booksellers, crafts, open mic events and entertainment from around the globe.

Three authors from the University of Miami will host workshops and panels that explore cultural differences and the immigrant experience. The Miami Book Fair International was selected as The Miami Hurricane’s Best of UMiami 2014 winner for “Best Free Event.”

Natalia Sylvester received a B.A. in creative writing from UM in 2006. She will be participating in a panel on Nov. 23 to talk about her book “Chasing the Sun” and the writing process. She is looking forward to the fair to meet and learn from other writers.

“Writers don’t really get that chance to meet readers and to talk to others about their work,” Sylvester said. “To me, an event like the book fair is an amazing opportunity to do that and remind us why we do what we do. We all have something to say, and to get a chance to say it in front of people who are just as enthusiastic about writing and books as you are is incredibly motivating.

While at UM, Sylvester worked on short stories for her thesis that would eventually develop into her first novel “Chasing the Sun.” The story is about a man whose wife is kidnapped in Lima, Peru in the late 1990s and was inspired by Sylvester’s own experiences. When she was 3 years old and lived in Peru, her grandfather was kidnapped and held for ransom for 60 days. Although she

does not remember it, she always grew up knowing it happened and wondered about the effect a kidnapping has on families, specifically her own.

“I realized I was so afraid of asking these questions, maybe that meant I should write about it,” she said. “The stories that scare us are the ones we should be telling.”

Daisy Hernandez also drew from her personal experiences for her memoir “A Cup of Water Under My Bed.” Hernandez graduated with a master of fine arts in fiction writing in 2013. She will be at the “Where We Come From” panel Nov. 22. Her book is a coming of age story that shares her experience growing up in a Cuban-Colombian household in New Jersey, and later her time pursuing a career in journalism at the New York Times.

Hernandez writes about coming to identify as a Latina and bisexual woman, a challenge that inspired her to write her story.

“I write really openly about some difficult things,” she said.

“I had to first sort through a lot of my emotions around it and sort of get clarity before I could then start to think about how do I want to tell this story so that my readers can feel empathy for these characters.”

Hernandez had the chance to do her MFA in several cities, but she choose to attend UM because it was located in Miami, a place where Latinos are in the majority and positions of authority.

She said it was a “powerful experience” that gave her a glimpse into what she believes will happen in the rest of the country in the next 15 years as Hispanic demographics continue to grow.

“I’m hoping that my story is more nuanced and I’m hoping that it functions as a counter-narrative against these images that are about immigrant communities,” she said.

Throughout her stories, Hernandez integrates Spanish words in the text, much like M. Evelina Galang, director of the Creative Writing Department, has been doing with Tagalog, the Filipino language. Galang’s parents immigrated from the Philippines, and she has found herself incorporating the language into the English text over the last several years.

“It feels like a really natural things to do,” Galang said. “I don’t translate, I don’t use italics, I see it as a part of the character’s world and it comes super natural to me and that’s what I’m really enjoying lately. Just writing a story from the perspective of my characters and just letting it go.”

Galang was asked to write a story for the anthology “Immigrant Voices: 21st Century Stories.” For this project, she was inspired to delve into the backstory of one of the side characters from her book “Angel de la Luna and the 5th Glorious Mystery.” She will be speaking at the “Immigrant Voices” panel Nov. 22.

“Sometimes when you read a story it makes you think of your own story,” Galang said. “So maybe then we start to kind of get back in touch with our own roots as immigrants, no matter if you’re a Mayflower family or a just-recently-got-here family.”

Jazzy Cuban musical spices up stage

BY ALINA ZERPA COPY EDITOR

The more salsa, dancing and cigars filled the stage in “Carmen,” the deeper the audience was lured into the mesmerizing plot that revolved around Carmen, a smuggler in Cuba during Dictator Fulgencio Batista’s regime in 1958. “Carmen” is playing at the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre through Nov. 23.

Carmen (Christina Sajous) is a santera, or a Priestess of Santeria, who bewitches one of Batista’s officers, Don Jose (Peter Saide), to fall in love with her so he can help her smuggle weapons to the rebels in the mountains. She also falls in love with Camilo (Caesar Samayoa), a boxer, and the love triangle explodes on stage.

However, the play is not only about love. It is about the characters and how they develop because of Carmen’s actions.

In the beginning of the show, Don Jose attempts to redeem himself from his dark past as a murderer in Santa Clara by becoming a lieutenant. As he tries to prove himself, his past follows him and he decides to leave everything for Carmen.

Camilo, Carmen’s second love, is a famous boxer who comes after Carmen while she is with Jose smuggling weapons in the mountains. Although his boxing career isn’t affected by Carmen, his presence ruins Jose and causes dramatic repercussions.

As the object of all the male characters’ affection, Carmen drives the plot with her manipulative nature and tough character.

However, her vulnerability shines through when she feels she has lost control. Whenever the power she has over the men around her seems to fade away or they are of no more use to her, she changes and feels the need to find another way to be back in the spotlight.

The characters in “Carmen” only make up a portion of the beauty of the production. Although the acting is incredible, it is the honesty of the play that makes the audience forget they are sitting in a theatre for an hour and a half.

With an orchestra playing Afro-Cuban jazz, it is impossible not to feel lively listening to the rhythms of Cuba while the dancing and costumes of the actors accurately represent the island at this time in history.

“Carmen” is set in several places, such as the pier, the mountains, a boxing arena and a club, but with the help of the lights and the dialogue, it is easy to imagine being transported to the different areas of Cuba.

The audience will grow tired of clapping after all the powerful solos and duets that portray the intricate story of “Carmen.”

By the end of the show, not only will the audience give a standing ovation, but they will also leave the theater singing and dancing the “Habanera” all the way home.

Alumnus attributes success to technical skills, creative passion

BY EMILY DABAU ONLINE NEWS EDITOR

For his most recent venture, “Big Hero 6,” he was in charge of creating the 3-D aspect of the film.

A typical day of working on the movie consisted of a casting session for artists to receive the shots they would be working on, for which he would later hold stereoscopic daily sessions to review the artists’ work. Neuman would then give notes and guide the 3-D to excellence.

“The best part is seeing how you can take a story that’s already great – it has such an amazing look to it – and actually be able to plus it when you add the 3-D aspect,” he said. “You see the images suddenly pop and become this extension of your world.”

Film and animation were not part of Neuman’s first job, however. After graduating from UM, he went on to work for the government in the intelligence field. He later attended Florida International University for graduate school.

Neuman decided to pursue the technical field after realizing that companies were looking to do architectural pre-visualization in computer graphics, yet knowledge about the technique wasn’t common.

“Big Hero 6” has touched viewers’ hearts with its diverse characters, San FranciscoTokyo blended setting and meaningful plot since its premiere Nov. 7. Behind the movie’s lovable characters and design stands the work of University of Miami alumnus Robert Neuman.

Neuman, who has worked on the 3-D versions of other movies including “Wreck it Ralph,” “The Lion King” and “The Little Mermaid,” serves as a studio department leader for the stereoscopic department at Walt Disney Animation Studios. He graduated from UM in 1984 with a degree in electrical engineering.

While not holding the artistic degree one might expect, Neuman explained that it is his technological background that has helped him excel in his creative career.

“My background in engineering at UM really helped me because the artistic part I was kind of born with, I already had that, and this gave me the technical chops to be willing to take on something new,” he said.

“At the time, computer graphics was in the early stage where there was a pretty big technological bar to getting into the field, and so a lot of people who may have had the artistic portion of it were kind of put off by the technological part,” he said.

Due to his artistic nature, he set off to use his computer graphics skills in film.

“I had always been a film buff, and I had always been artistic, and so I was more interested, rather than using it for architecture, in the film usage of it,” he said.

Using Miami as a hub for Latin American work, he began working with directors and producers in the area on commercials for the Latin American market, eventually developing a demo reel with examples of his best work.

It is that demo reel that landed him a job at Walt Disney Animation Studios after he submitted it at a computer graphics convention where Disney was interviewing. He was given the position of layout artist for the movie “Dinosaur,” for which he was responsible for working with assembly artists and cinematographers. Since then, he has continued to work on the team.

For students interested in animation or a similar career, Neuman said it is important to balance an artistic passion with technological skills.

“They need to have a passion for it, they need to have a love for film and animation, and I think that it doesn’t hurt to have the technical strengths and background,” he said. ‘“It’s good to be solid technically, but you definitely need to have the artistic passion.”

Canes struggle in second half, lose 30-26 to FSU Many factors led to poor performance

BY ALEXANDER GREEN CONTRIBUTING SPORTS WRITER

It truly was a tale of two halves in the 59th meeting of these longtime rivals.

Miami won the first half after a fumble by Clive Walford on the first drive and then scored on its next four drives. Similarly, after a fumble on its first drive of the second half, Florida State University scored on its final four drives. The Canes lost 30-26.

FSU made its second-half come back. The Hurricanes struggled all game to get pressure on reigning Heisman-winning quarterback Jameis Winston, but were able to force turnovers in the first half to make up for it.

When Winston had all day in the pocket in the second half, he was able to pick apart the Hurricanes defense and make plays.

In the grand scheme of things, the game simply got away from Miami in the second half.

The team’s game plan didn’t change much, but FSU had more bounces go their way.

Miami couldn’t create turnovers after the first drive of the second half and was unable to wrap up on tackles. After the Canes defense forced three-andouts on the first three drives of the game, it forced zero the rest of the game.

Among other factors in the Hurricanes loss was the difference in special teams. Florida State has the best kicker in the nation, reigning Lou Groza Award winner Roberto Aguayo, who was three for three on field goals, including one from 53 yards.

Hurricanes kicker Michael Badgley missed a field goal and had an extra point blocked, amounting to four wasted points, the same amount the Hurricanes lost by.

There was no one reason the Hurricanes lost last night, except that Florida State has experience playing from behind and handled the situation perfectly. Miami’s offense outgained the Seminole’s (492-418) and dominated time of possession (35:37-24:23), but Florida State made plays when it needed to.

Junior running back Duke Johnson ran for over 100 yards for the sixth consecutive game.

His 167 all-purpose yards made him the first Hurricane in history to accumulate over 5,000 for his career, but it wasn’t enough.

“We didn’t capitalize when we should have. We have a lot of plays that we left out there,” Johnson said. “A lot of plays that we got into good position and made mistakes on the offensive side. There were a lot of things that we were doing that hurt ourselves.”

Last season, Miami perhaps could excuse its loss because of Johnson’s ankle injury, but this year there’s no excuse. Miami had Florida State on the ropes and simply couldn’t prevent the Seminoles from clawing back.

This loss will stay with the team and its faithful fans for a while. Perhaps it will ignite a fire within the team that will help the team win out this year despite being eliminated in the ACC Coastal.

The Canes will travel to Charlottesville, Virginia and take on the Virginia Cavaliers 7 p.m. on Saturday.

MATTHEW TRABOLD // STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER FIERCE 46: Senior tight end Clive Walford (No. 46) receives a 61-yard touchdown pass from Brad Kaaya for a touchdown during the second quarter of Saturday’s game against Florida State at Sun Life Stadium. Walford had four catches for 127 yards.

Stats Miami is now 6-4 overall and 3-3 in the ACC. Brad Kaaya threw for 316 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Duke Johnson rushed for 132 yards and averaged 4.8 yards per gain.

Denzel Perryman had a total of nine tackles, seven solo and two assists.

Florida State extended the nation’s longest win streak to 26 games.

V,

I need help. I went to go down on my boyfriend last night, and I noticed that one of his … members … is significantly lower than the other. I have extreme OCD, and the thought of this makes me cringe and want to clean my room a thousand times. How do I learn to deal with this?

DEAR V

Sincerely, Drooping Dorothy Dear Lena Dunham,

My man’s marbles don’t match...

If this is a problem, you might as well just give up on penis as a whole.

All men’s testes are a little lopsided, and that is why males constantly run into girls.

I mean, seriously, wouldn’t it be kind of weird if they were even? Are you really going to tell me that your boobs are perfectly symmetrical? Of course they’re not, and that’s what makes

them your boobalas.

Be proud of your boyfriend’s balls. Those are your balls. Might as well stuff them into a jar of pickling juice and let ‘em marinate.

Don’t be so worried about the fact that they’re uneven. You need to appreciate the crookedness of Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

If Righty weren’t trying to get away from Lefty, he would have made a run for it soon. So just appreciate that this outlying cough drop is only as far away as it is for now.

But just try to remember that some of the best things in life are uneven, so you should therefore learn to appreciate the art of the irregular.

First off, look at our city.

Miami is fruitful with an overwhelming ocean of Latinos, and this influx has transformed this not-just-Mexican metropolitan into the Mecca of American-Hispanic culture.

Sure, this city is oozing with crime and cocaine, but that’s what happens when the only available job is a waitressing gig at a Cuban coffee shop.

Next up, there are billions and billions of cars (all strangely lacking functional blinkers) in

this ol’ metropolis, and just one road to enter its borders.

Don’t you just love when it’s 3:46 p.m., and you’re wedged in bumper-to-bumper, sandwiched between an overpopulated white van and a bumpin’ Mercedes from 1991?

And, finally, you can’t forget about our city’s income disparity. How many other cities are there in which you can drive past an orgy of homeless locals at the Wynwood Walls, and then see a Maserati slowly roll by without even throwing a half-eaten empanada their way?

This city’s welfare infrastructure is like a love-hate relationship. Half of it is totally miserable, and the other half is bathing in a bisque of gold.

Basically, if you live in Miami, you can handle anything that is uneven.

This is one of the most unfair, cruelly unplanned and unevenly distributed municipalities in the world. So if you can live here, a few displaced testicles shouldn’t bite (and neither should you when you go down).
