SURVIVING

SEXUAL

ASSAULT DESIGN BY SARBANI GHOSH

An in-depth look at the University of Miami's continued efforts against sexual assault.

Pages 6-7 ISABELLA CUETO SENIOR NEWS WRITER Angela Cameron went to a party with a friend on a Friday night in early April. He offered to let her stay over at his apartment and she did, only to find her underwear on the floor when she awoke from a blackout the next morning. She had been sexually assaulted.

Some time later, she recalled, she “was in class, staring at the person who raped me.

Part of me wanted to strangle him. Another part of me wanted to hide in a corner,” Cameron said.

According to Cameron, she can’t remember the next week of her life following the assault.

“I went into acute shock. … You pretty much go on autopilot to react normally to an abnormal situation until you can’t handle it,” said Cameron, a junior majoring in broadcast journalism and theater who said she wanted her story told so others might learn from it.

In 2014, one in four college women has survived rape or attempted rape, according to One In Four, a national nonprofit aimed at ending sexual assault. This would equal 1,350 female undergraduate students on a college campus the size of the University of Miami’s.

Although these statistics are nationwide, sexual assault is an issue that colleges, including UM, are addressing.

Recently, UM has begun to address the issue of sexual assault in a combination of programs and events. This includes the formation of the President’s Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence Prevention and Education led

by President Donna E. Shalala in May and Canes Consent, an event that raises awareness of sexual assault, started in 2013. There have been other events, such as “A Call to Men,” and efforts like the Sexual Assault PSA

by Student Government, as well as The Hook Up, a presentation held during this year’s orientation.

Edna C. Shalala passes away Beloved mother, role model lives to 103

BY ERIKA GLASS MANAGING EDITOR

VICTORIA MCKABA // STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER LEADING LADY: Junior Ashlhea Louis was crowned 2015 Miss University of Miami during Tuesday night’s pageant held at the Student Activities Center. The Miss University of Miami Scholarship Pageant, founded in 1949, serves as an official preliminary to Miss Florida and Miss America.

Edna C. Shalala, President Donna E. Shalala’s mother, passed away early Tuesday afternoon following a brief illness. She was 103.

Edna Shalala graduated from Ohio State University in 1933 and worked as a physical education teacher. Nearly 20 years later, she went on to complete her law degree and worked as a tax lawyer until her retirement in 2002.

A nationally ranked tennis player, Shalala was an avid athlete, competing in the senior tennis circuit until she was 85.

The Edna C. Shalala Fund for Women’s Athletics was created in 2011 in honor of her 100th birthday to enhance and support the university’s women’s athletics program.

In a 2012 post on jewelsofelul.com, President Shalala spoke about her mother’s effect on others.

“Affectionately called Mother Shalala by all who know her, my mother has fostered a deep, lifelong sense of com-

Sexual violence PSA to screen Canes Consent to spark conversation

BY NADIJAH CAMPBELL SENIOR NEWS WRITER

In response to recent events across college campuses – including our own – Silence the Silence, a public service announcement (PSA) on sexual violence, is scheduled to air Thursday at the Canes Consent event, an event dedicated to raising awareness about sexual violence.

The minute-long PSA asks students to challenge themselves to end the sexual violence epidemic in our nation. It calls for students to take personal responsibility by standing up against sexual violence to their friends and taking a vow not to participate in any act of sexual violence.

“It asks viewers to examine their own actions and how those actions can stop sexual assaults from happen2

ing,” said Nick Swyter, the director of the PSA. “It is my hope that this examination can steer viewers toward a dialogue that confronts the structural issues of this topic.”

Julie Earl, co-chair of Silence the Silence, said Student Government was asked on behalf of the President’s Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence Prevention and Education, created by President Donna Shalala in May, to produce the PSA as a launch for a longterm initiative to end to sexual violence on college campuses.

“Right now we don’t have a serious problem, but we want to be proactive so that if there is a problem we know what to do,” said Renee Perez, co-chair of Silence the Silence.

According to the University of Miami Police Department, police records do not have a significant number of reports of sexual violence, but it is unknown if this is an accurate description of the campus activity.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

“As of now, on the last open report the numbers were in the single digits,” Earl said. “But you always have to ask yourself: Is it because no one’s reporting or is it because it’s not happening?”

The PSA also aims to make it easier for people to talk about the issue. Earl believes the PSA and continuance of projects to end sexual assault will offer a safe space for victims to talk about it without any judgment or awkwardness.

“It’s important to provide or create a culture where people can feel comfortable talking about it and to have students understand how to respond to that,” she said.

The Canes Consent event will be held from 1:30-4:30 p.m. at the Rock.

There will be free T-shirts and palm cards distributed at the event to help students quickly find the resources they need depending on what action they want to take, including making a report or seeking counseling.

munity,” she said.

“She has faced life’s challenges as opportunities to grow, to do better, and to ultimately do good for others.”

Vice President for SHALALA Student Affairs Patricia Whitely shares similar sentiments.

“I was so honored to know and love Mother Shalala. She was a true inspiration, a trailblazer, a tax lawyer, a competitive tennis player, supporter of UM sports, who was always so proud of her large extended family, including her twin daughters, Diane and President Shalala,” she said.

This year, the university will host the inaugural Edna C. Shalala 5K Run/ Walk on Dec. 13 to benefit Shalala’s women’s athletics fund. The event will take place in her honor. For more information and to register for the event, visit miami5k.com.

Shalala is survived by grandchildren, nieces, nephews, her sister Louise McGann and her two daughters, Diane and Donna E. Shalala.

Dramatic demonstration gives voice to voiceless Protesters rally against police brutality

BY S. MOLLY DOMINICK SENIOR NEWS WRITER

A group of about 30 students, all wearing black clothing, assembled quietly by the U statue near the Foote Green Wednesday afternoon.

Suddenly, over a megaphone, a single voice commanded the demonstrators to “die,” and the students dropped to the ground in unison.

The protesters were representing lives lost to police brutality, such as the recent death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. The demonstration lasted exactly four and a half minutes to represent the four and a half hours that Brown’s body was left at the crime scene after his death. At the end of the “Die-In,” another announcement chanted, “Black lives matter.”

This demonstration was a precursor to a larger protest that began at 2 p.m. on the Rock.

A group of more than 200 students protested the grand jury decision not to charge Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown in a rally called #BlackLivesMatter.

Protesters marched around campus holding signs with statements including “End structured racism” and “Respect existence or expect resistance.”

GIANCARLO FALCONI // STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER MEANINGFUL MARCH: Various student groups organized a “#BlackLivesMatter” demonstration that took place on campus Wednesday afternoon. Protesters marched around campus, staged a “Die-In” on the Rock and hosted a guest speaker.

Some students put duct tape over their mouths to symbolize unheard voices of the oppressed. One student carried a sign to speak for him. It read, “Don’t ask why I can’t talk, ask Mike Brown.”

While marching, protesters chanted in unison, adhering to a list of planned call-and-

responses. Protesters at the front of the march called the name of a victim of violence through a megaphone, and others responded with chants like, “I’m fired up! I can’t take it no more!” and “Turn up don’t turn down, we’re doing this for Mike Brown!”

The march’s stops included The Rathskellar, Einstein’s Bagels, the Ashe Administration Building and Dooley Memorial. Some protesters gave impromptu performances at these stops, such as singing and spoken word poetry.

However, some students felt disrupted by the performances. One anonymous law school student found the demonstration to be an unwelcome surprise while studying for finals near Einstein’s Bagels.

“The timing was a bit inconvenient for certain groups,” he said. “A final in law school accounts for 100 percent of your grade. Maybe you’re frantically typing at the last minute and suddenly you’re distracted by noise and people shouting other words. Plus, I generally do tend to wonder what marching does for the cause.”

After the march, protesters participated in another Die-In, stopping students on their way to class. The demonstration took up the entire surface of the Rock, bringing more attention to the cause and attracting passersby to join in.

The final event was a speech given by Phillip Agnew from Dream Defenders, an organization dedicated to raising leaders and fighting oppression.

Amendment passed to protect transgender rights Ordinance prevents discrimination

BY SOPHIE BARROS STAFF WRITER

Miami-Dade county commissioners made history on Dec. 2 by passing an amendment to the human rights ordinance, which will allow for the nondiscrimination and protection of people who are transgender.

The amendment had failed to pass in the summer of 2013, when Commissioner Audrey M. Edmonson made the proposal. Many blamed Commissioner Lynda Bell, who then lost her reelection to Daniella Levine Cava, a supporter of the cause. On Tuesday, the amendment was passed with eight supporting votes against three in opposition.

Senior Shelby Juarez, a member of the undergraduate LGBTQ group SpectrUM/UPride, attended the meeting and was struck by the impassioned discussion.

“They were going through the agenda and then it got really heated,” she said. “People would go up and had two minutes to speak, so there was a lot of emotion and passion and everything got really intense.”

According to Juarez, the discussion lasted about three hours before the county commission took a vote at 6:30 p.m.

“The passing of the amendment is great because people who are transgender now have something they can go to, a feeling of safety,” Juarez said. “Also, they finally have a sense of justice, because we talk about LGBTQ but we really don’t touch upon the ‘T’ a lot.”

For junior Tori MacDonell, this decision stands to have a personal impact.

“I don’t present myself like a girl,” MacDonell, who identifies as transgender, said. “I don’t identify as a girl. That’s not who I am. I’ve actually lost a job because of how I present myself. It really hurt, too. I hope that this amendment prevents that from happening to someone else. My identity and my gender expression hold nothing against my ability to work.”

The meeting also brought together supporters from SAVE (Safeguarding American

Values for Everyone, formerly SAVE Dade), Florida’s leading organization for the protection of LGBTQ rights. Members and volunteers have been working for more than a year to reach the milestone achieved Tuesday.

“I’m overjoyed at the result,” said Devin Cordero, Coordinator of Communications for SAVE. “It was a long time coming. In politics there is a saying: Elections have consequences.

A lot of people don’t believe that anymore, and while I’ve always believed in the concept in theory, I think that the result proves that it applies in reality.”

After Bell’s opposition to the proposal last summer, SAVE was committed to canvas and campaign in support of now-commissioner Daniella Levine Cava. The organization then lobbied the commission for a reconsideration of the amendment, which started being readdressed in September.

The amendment prohibits discrimination based on gender identity and expression. Before the passing of the new law, Cordero explained, the only way in which someone could file a complaint would be if the offender explicitly called out their particular sexual orientation.

December 4 - December 7, 2014

Jacob Rudolph, president of SpectrUM/ UPride, identified one of the amendment’s major benefits.

“When you have something that enables transgender people to get jobs and have protection in these jobs, that ... will give them opportunities to live the American dream,” he said.

While the meeting saw a lot of support for the cause, attendees against the change used arguments like the potential lack of privacy and safety in bathrooms. According to Juarez, some speakers made hurtful references to pedophilia and sexual abuse.

“The people who weren’t there in support of this voiced fears and concerns, which are not unwarranted,” Juarez said. “What we need to do now is continue with education and awareness so that the people who had all these fears don’t feel that they’ve lost because everyone is winning here.”

STAFF EDITORIAL

Reactions to rape as damaging as actions Rolling Stone magazine recently published an article about the gang rape in 2012 of a freshman at the University of Virginia.

After the brutal incident, Jackie turned, as most of us would, to her friends for help.

Rather than sympathy and compassion, she was met with doubt, derision and concern for her social reputation. To call rape, one of her friends said according to an article in Rolling Stone magazine, would be social suicide. This, as she stood there battered, from the people who supposedly cared for her.

When she went to the administration for help, she encountered a similar reaction: more doubt, coupled with passivity and ambivalence as to whether she should file a police report and seek justice. This from the school that supposedly cared for her.

Yet as bloodcurdling as these responses may be, we must not dismiss Jackie’s friends and the UVA administration as mere monsters. To do so would ignore the fact that, while few of us would aim to harm another as viciously as Jackie’s assailants did, we are all capable of wreaking severe damage without intention.

In all likelihood, Jackie’s friends did not intend to isolate her in a crushing depression that nearly drove her to suicide.

They reacted out of genuine concern for her social status. This is not to excuse their callous responses, but merely to illustrate that even concern, when misplaced, can prove as devastating as physical violence.

But they are, to an extent, correct. A lot more rape cases would be reported if victims weren’t forever labeled as “the girl who got raped.” Still, the instinct oftentimes is to assume she put herself into the situation – that she was somehow “asking for it” – or even that she made it up.

Simply condemning her friends, and the administration, and then moving on, hides our own portion of guilt. When we turn a blind eye to issues that unsettle our stomachs, we reinforce the idea that shame and guilt are justified reactions to violent sexual crimes. None of us do as much as he or she could to make victims feel welcome to speak up.

Certain organizations exist to help open this dialogue, including bystander education programs such as UM’s Haven.

Also, UM has acted firmly in response to recent sexual assault cases, expelling two football players charged with raping another student.

Unfortunately, though, it is not enough to trust that somebody else will deal with issues you may not feel like handling. One in four women survived rape or attempted rape in 2014, according to a nonprofit called One in Four. We must all be prepared for sexual violence to impinge onto our own lives.

If one of your friends ever shows up on your doorstep battered and bruised, make sure your concern is in the right place: for her health. Otherwise, do what you can to make sure that concern for a woman’s reputation following a sexual assault will never be warranted even in the slightest.

Damage doesn’t only come from violent criminals and directly harmful action – when it comes from friends, from administrators, or from inaction, it can prove just as destructive.

Women should aim for self-made wealth

W

e’ve all heard it, and, my fellow ladies, we’ve probably said it on occasion. “I just want to marry rich.” This comment is never met with scrutiny or opposition, but with laughter and agreement.

We accept this joke because it’s founded in truth. The business world is still run by men with only 14.6 percent of the Fortune 500 executive off icer positions being held by women. How RACHEL BERQUIST can women ever hope to change this landscape if CULTURE we perpetuate a joke that reinforces the idea that COLUMNIST women can’t achieve f inancial success independently from men, and that marriage is still our primary aspiration?

We say this comment because whenever we feel nervous about the f uture, it’s comforting to think that we can f ind a rich and successf ul man to take care of our problems.

However tempting this line of thought may be, it’s detrimental to women who want to be seen as equals in the business world. We need to reinforce the idea that we don’t need to marry rich because we’ll be so successf ul in our careers that we won’t

need the f inancial stability. Men will want to marry us for our money.

In addition, this joke suggests that marriage is our ultimate aspiration. Ladies, this is not the 19th century. You don’t need to be married to survive, so why should that be our ultimate goal? If we want to gain respect in the business world, we need to see marriage as a decision – independent of f inancial stability – rather than a measure of self-preservation.

If you want to marry rich because you want to be rich, do yourself a favor and become rich by earning it yourself. If you happen to fall in love with a rich man and decide to marry him, that’s f ine. But do it because he’s a good man and a good partner, not because he provides the lavish lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

Once, while I was working, a guy insinuated I was only in college “to f ind a husband.” Not only was his comment offensive, but it is also, unfortunately, all too common.

We need to focus on our careers and make marriage what it’s supposed to be, which is how men see it: as a choice. Do not desire to marry rich; desire to be rich.

DESIGN BY MEGAN MCCRINK SEXUAL ASSAULT FROM COVER

CASES ON CAMPUS There were four forcible sex offenses reported on campus in 2013, according to the 2014-2015 University of Miami Comprehensive Combined Annual Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report. The university is required to publish an annual safety report, which includes important phone numbers, resources and crime statistics on each UM campus.

“I think a big part of the reason why there are only four reported forcible sex offenses is that people are afraid of being re-traumatized by telling the story over and over again. I’m sure there are many more assaults than are reported, but we cannot report rumors,” said Lieutenant William Gerlach, head of UM Police Dispatch Center.

In July 2014, an incident occurred on campus that brought national attention to UM and the issue of sexual assault. UM football players JaWand Blue, 20, and Alexander Figueroa, 20, were arrested and charged with sexual battery after admitting to intoxicating and raping a 17-year-old UM student in Figueroa’s dorm room in the Pearson Residential College. Both players were dismissed from the football team and expelled, according to statements made by Head Coach Al Golden in a press conference on Sept. 16.

Blue and Figueroa will have the sexual battery charges dropped against them if they complete sex-offender treatment classes and 100 hours of community service.

“The victim, also a campus athlete, did not want to undergo the ‘devastating’ experience of testifying,” prosecutor Laura Adams told a judge on Nov. 5, according to an article published in The Miami Herald.

The University of Miami Police Department (UMPD) works with the Dean of Students office, in conjunction with Wilhemena Black, the University’s Title IX Coordinator, to assemble yearly safety reports and collect crime 6

data. Black ensures the university’s compliance with Title IX legislation by coordinating investigation of any complaints.

Dean Tony Lake, associate dean and director of Judicial Affairs at UM, serves as deputy Title IX coordinator. Lake investigates reports of sexual violence and serves as a mediator in the process of disciplinary hearings.

TERM TO KNOW Title IX Legislation: Law passed in 1972 prohibiting discrimination based on gender in educational institutions.

Between Black, Lake and several other deans and administrators, the university works to meet the requirements detailed in Title IX. If an institution fails to do so, the U.S. Department of Education may fine the school or even cut funding altogether.

“There are some parts of this issue that have to do with compliance, because you could lose funding for not doing so,” Lake said.

“However, this is a greater issue. It is a civil rights issue. It is a gender equality issue. It’s a global issue. It’s also a public health issue, physically and mentally.”

A common trend among universities under investigation for violations of Title IX is the underreporting of crimes — specifically, sexual assault — to protect the school’s image.

Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and Princeton have all been accused of mishandling rape cases and underreporting sexual assault to protect their prestigious image.

“We don’t report rapes to protect our image as an institution,” Gerlach said. “If that was our concern, we would zero out the numbers, say there is no problem, and discourage reporting.”

The conversation about sexual assault and institutional transparency was sparked in part

by direct action taken by President Shalala earlier this summer.

In May, Shalala created the President’s Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence Prevention and Education. Shalala assigned Patricia Whitely, vice president for Student Affairs, to oversee its progress and effectiveness.

“Peers are our most valuable tools,” Whitely said. “The peers influence the campus climate, so students need to stand up for each other, for their friends, and for themselves. They need to say, ‘We will not be bystanders.’”

The coalition is comprised of 25 members, including representatives, professors and administration from many schools and departments across the university.

According to a memorandum Shalala sent to the university community in May, the coalition has four main objectives. It aims to increase awareness about the university’s and students’ efforts to educate others about sexual violence and bystander intervention. In addition, the coalition plans to collect information about the nature of sexual assault on campus.

It is currently working on a campus climate survey to create a list of as many resources as possible and to get a closer estimate of how often sexual assault does happen at the university, according to Lake.

Lastly, the coalition will plan meetings, programs and events related to sexual violence and provide feedback about the university’s efforts and suggest improvements.

“We want everybody working together to make sure that nobody is a victim of sexual violence, either on or off campus,” Whitely said.

Alongside the President’s Campus Coalition, UM introduced Haven, a two-part online bystander education program implemented in fall 2013. All incoming freshmen and transfer students are required to complete the course before the end of their first semester.

The program begins with an introductory video and clear definitions of words such as “rape” and “consent.” Modules educate students on topics such as healthy language in relationships and actions to take when encountering a survivor of sexual assault.

The course works in the same way as Alcohol Edu, an online alcohol education course started in 2012 for incoming students. The programs allow for an intersession period of 30 to 45 days between the first and second parts.

Once a student has taken an assessment test and completed the modules, they can also save helpful resources — hotline numbers, oncampus facilities and authorities — to their notepad for future reference.

According to Lake, the university was searching for a program that was informative and effective. Haven, Alcohol Edu and other programs that educate students on critical life skills were created by the company EverFi. In addition to Haven, new students also attended The Hook Up at Orientation—a fastpaced and comprehensive session on “hooking up,” from kissing to safely engaging in sex.

Speaker Heather Imrie also discussed the inextricable link between sexist slurs and gen-

December 4 - December 7, 2014

der-based violence. Imrie had participants yell words used to describe females and males who have sex, noting the different connotations.

“I don’t think women should have to be skeptical,” freshman Coleman Reardon said after attending The Hook Up. “If guys just stopped with the name-calling… Even if they think it’s not hurting anybody, it might be. If they just start with that, then that gets us somewhere.”

REPORTING THE CRIME The university has a system in which students can speak to a dean, file a complaint and have a hearing. However, UM is moving toward a “web” system where any person can lead a survivor to other available resources.

“A student can call the Sexual Assault Resource Team or visit the Counseling Center; speak to Dean Abramson [Assistant Dean of Students and social worker] or myself, a faculty member, their R.A., or a student organization member,” Lake said.

According to Lake, once a student reports a case, he or she decides if the report becomes a complaint with the Dean’s Office. The complainant can then decide whether he or she wants to be involved in the disciplinary hearing or step out of the process.

Lake takes statements from the complainant and the respondent, and interviews any witnesses. He also cooperates with Coral Gables Police Department to collect any evidence and open an investigation.

At every point along the way, administration checks in and accommodates the student in whatever way he or she needs to be supported.

TERM TO KNOW Complainant: survivor of sexual violence who is filing a complaint against an alleged perpetrator.

“We as an institution have tried to build a system that is impartial,” Lake said. “It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to come into the issue as prosecutors against one student. As investigators, we gather evidence and present it to a hearing panel.”

TERM TO KNOW Respondent: alleged perpetrator, against whom the complainant has filed a complaint.

The hearing panel is comprised of a minimum of three representatives. There is at least one person representing each the student, the faculty and the staff on campus.

The main difference between legal trials and hearings at universities is that in disciplinary hearings, an accused person can be found responsible with a preponderance of evidence.

This means that if evidence leans more to one side, there is a decision, as opposed to ‘guilty beyond reasonable doubt.’

Once a decision is made, there is a sanction.

A student found responsible for violating sexual assault policy would generally be suspended, according to Lake. Different forms of sexual violence, ranging from stalking to sexual harassment, will merit disciplinary probation and completion of an educational program.

Both the complainant and the respondent can appeal the sanction. During the appeal process, Whitely and Dean of Students Ricardo Hall then decide whether to uphold or re-evaluate the sanction.

For Lake, disciplinary hearings are often not black-and-white.

“The hardest part of my job is taking a step back,” Lake said. “I find myself getting too connected to the emotions of the accused or of the victim sometimes.”

However, for Cameron, Lake was a constant source of support throughout her hearing.

“He is one of the few people on campus who is really there for students and wants them to get better,” Cameron said.

Lake often suggests visiting the Roxcy Bolton Rape Treatment Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. The center was one of the first rape treatment centers in the U.S. and has treated more than 42,000 victims of sexual assault. It is the only rape treatment unit in Miami-Dade County.

Cameron recalled feeling despair after receiving a letter from the Dean of Students office with the sanction: Her rapist would be suspended for a single semester.

To be in compliance with strict privacy regulations, universities cannot disclose any information regarding sexual assault cases. This is one of the reasons why there is often no response from colleges as they are being publicly criticized by students.

“I looked at my mom after that whole process and I said, ‘Was this hearing even worth it?

Was it even worth it to mentally and physically drag myself through the whole thing? He can come back next semester,’” Cameron said.

If a student is displeased with the outcome of a hearing and complains about the institution to media outlets, the university cannot issue any statement containing details about the case.

Usually, universities issue a “no comment” statement when confronted with complaints about Title IX cases.

Such was the case with Columbia University, when senior Emma Sulkowicz began carrying the mattress on which she was raped around campus in protest. Sulkowicz was one of 23 Columbia and Barnard students to file a Title IX complaint against the university.

“It’s not to say that what is happening [at universities under investigation] is correct, but that things are much more complicated than they appear,” Lake said. “We have to comply with all these different regulations from individual sources — Congress, the White House, senators, the federal government — and they are all using their own language that we have to decipher.”

WHERE TO GO The Roxcy Bolton Rape Treatment Center 305.585.5185 1611 NW 12th Ave, Miami, FL 33136 Still, complaints of mishandling cases and victimizing questions surround the university’s disciplinary system. According to Katharine Westaway, professor of Women’s and Gender Studies and creator of Canes Consent, one student’s aggressor was allowed to stay on campus, even after he was found responsible for her rape.

When finding someone to confide in, students went to individuals such as Westaway, who created Canes Consent in fall 2013 with a group of her students to raise awareness about sexual assault after several students came to her with their stories.

The event featured a DJ, food, TED-style talks and giveaways. The second Canes Consent will take place on Dec. 4 and will be an opportunity for survivors to speak out, according to Westaway.

“I couldn’t stand by and do nothing, so we got together as a class to create a mechanism to stop sexual assault on campus. I think the students are doing a lot of great things, and it’s time for the administration to step up,” she said.

“They need to put real resources and funding into survivor groups, education and greater sex education classes. It’s time for them to show their support by providing resources.”

women in sororities are to experience rape.

CANES CARE FOR CANES According to Carolyn Eberhardt, clinical psychologist at the Counseling Center and director of S.A.R.T., survivors of sexual assault typically face many conflicting emotions at the same time after the incident. One of the most important things, she says, is to remind survivors that the assault was not their fault.

WHO TO TALK TO S.A.R.T. Sexual Assault Resource Team run by the Counseling Center, which includes a 24-hour hotline and outreach efforts.

[305.798.6666] *statistics from oneinfourusa.org A specific change Westaway advocates is reform of the judiciary system at UM. “It’s just as though nobody has thought about going through this system as a victim,” Westaway said. “What would it be like for you if you saw your rapist in the dining hall after he was accused of rape? I know victims who have told me that the trial at the university was as bad as the rape.”

“It is important to be an open listener. Just be there for that person. It’s not what you tell someone to do, but how present you are with them,” Eberhardt said.

Numerous misconceptions surround sexual assault and rape. Most common are the ideas that sexual assault does not happen and that a person is “asking for it,” according to Eberhardt.

“Nobody is asking to be raped,” Westaway said. “Being raped is one of the worst things

December 4 - December 7, 2014

that can befall a person, and trying to blame the victim by their choice of wardrobe or by their choice of dancing, or what bar they went to. Nobody says, ‘Were you looking a certain way that was asking for that guy to punch you?’ We only do this to rape victims.”

According to Cameron, the first step toward improving the university in terms of sexual assault is having survivors speak out.

“This happened to me and it is not OK. I’m going to at least … try. It’s going to take everything you have and then some, but it was worth it because even though [my aggressor] didn’t get much punishment, it has helped me learn how to live with what happened,” Cameron said.

After posting a message on the Facebook page of her sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, over the summer, Cameron remembers several women sharing her experience.

“I had sisters reach out to me and say that they were raped too, but they never reported it,” she said.

For many survivors, filing a complaint is not just a form of justice for oneself, but for others.

“I couldn’t live with myself if I found out he did this to somebody else and I had had the ability to stop it when it happened to me,” Cameron said.

Three months after Cameron reported the rape, approximately two weeks before the beginning of fall semester, the disciplinary hearing was closed.

Cameron’s perpetrator is allowed to come back in January. He will be on final probation.

“I’ve seen worse for plagiarism,” Cameron said in reaction to the sanction. “I’m not asking for him to be expelled, but I want the university to ensure my safety for the remainder of my time here as an undergraduate. I shouldn’t have to ask for this.”

Sexual assault is an issue that runs much deeper than legislation or codes of conduct, however. With the coalition and work of several student organizations, Cameron hopes there will one day be enough resources for survivors as well as the whole student body.

“The biggest thing I’ve noticed since I came back to school is that the university has done a lot in terms of prevention for sexual assault, especially with this year’s incoming class.

However, they don’t do much for people who have been raped. There just aren’t resources,” Cameron said.

Despite the hurdles that Cameron has faced, she shared a message of hope for survivors.

“You won’t realize that you’re getting better until you are OK. But you will be,” Cameron said.

BY SHERMAN HEWITT COPY CHIEF

What do the movies “Frozen,” “Space Jam” and nearly every other film shown at the Cosford Cinema since 1982 have in common?

Michael Blaine, the Cosford’s projectionist, has been responsible for displaying every single one on the big screen.

“If there was any film – any film – in this theater during that time, I was the one who projected it,” he said. “I was the only projectionist.

There hasn’t been anyone else.”

Blaine, 70, has spent the last 32 years projecting movies at Cosford. Throughout his tenure, he has shown countless movies in today’s digital style and on traditional celluloid film, the thin, transparent strips where a movie’s individual frames are printed – or used to be printed.

The curtain has closed for physical films over the years, giving digital movies prime time in the spotlight. Cosford, however, still uses two 35 millimeter film projectors, and according to Cosford Cinema Director Trae DeLellis, Blaine is one of the few people left who can manage them.

“More and more, no one actually knows how to run 35 mm film projectors,” Delellis said. “He’s one of the few people in Miami who can still do it.”

The years have been unkind to the projectionist profession, with demand reaching an all-time low that is still plummeting, according to Blaine.

“The theater’s almost inconsequential,” he said. “Everything changes so much that the theater is almost a dinosaur. If it weren’t for Cosford, at this crazy little job, I certainly would’ve ceased doing projection years ago.”

Blaine’s experience with 35 mm projectors has made him quite the asset for Cosford’s

monthly special event Cosford Classics, where older films are shown in the 35 mm format.

According to Oscar Jubis, a management assistant at the Cosford Cinema, projection requires attention to detail.

“A good projectionist is someone who is constantly concerned about the film being seen and heard to its best advantage,” Jubis said.

Up the stairs by Cosford on Dooley Memorial building’s third floor is a set of steel steps leading to a massive door. Behind that door resides the steel-walled projection room, where Blaine works the 35 mm and recently added high-definition projectors, all three of which take up much of the room’s little space.

However, Blaine still manages to have posters from past film festivals and stacks of film reel cases around the room. His personal collection of movie memorabilia exceeds the projection room’s size. Since before he began working at Cosford, Blaine has collected and bought all sorts of items, such as books and posters autographed by famous actors, artists, actresses and movie directors.

“I have a real nice picture of Bette Davis, the actress, that she sent to me autographed,” he said. “It was a painting she had commissioned of her in the 1950s in black and white. She reproduced it. It’s her in a coat. It gave her half of the picture to autograph with a white, grease pencil.

It made it more dramatic.”

Being an avid collector has its perks; items with initially low value can be appreciated over time. Blaine makes it a point to collect and keep as many items as he can find. He stores the more fragile pieces of his collection, like paper items, in plastic-sealed folders.

One item in particular, a Campbell’s soup can wrapper, was signed by American artist Andy Warhol when he visited the Lowe Art Museum in 1980. According to Blaine, the

NICK GANGEMI // PHOTO EDITOR COSFORD CLASSIC: Michael Blaine has been Cosford Cinema’s sole projectionist since 1982. He is one of the few people in Miami who continues to operate 35-millimeter projectors. Cosford has the last two of these projectors in South Florida, and is one of five university theaters to use them.

wrapper, initially worth $3 to $5, is now valued at about $2,000.

Like his collectables, Blaine’s career as a projectionist has been priceless. Prior to working as a projectionist, he spent weekends and weekdays watching movies.

“I would spend the day watching eight or 10 films,” he said. “I would go down and see an 11 a.m. movie, and then at noon or so I’d see a movie at another theater. I’d eat something, then I’d go to another theater.”

Blaine’s dedication to film led him to destinations that further kindled his love for the movies. One such place, the British Film Insti-

tute in London, inspired Blaine to start his collection of theatrical works.

“I was so impressed,” he said. “They had two or three auditoriums showing movies, different themes like Mexican comedies from the ‘50s, and all kinds of stuff that I was never exposed to. So I started collecting, buying books and stuff, even records of soundtracks of movies.”

Though the era of projectionists has long faded to black, Blaine’s passion for theater and film continues even today, and he is willing to share that enthusiasm with anyone who will listen.

Miami’s hot early season run continued Tuesday night against No. 24 Illinois, and the BankUnited Center (BUC) was packed to see it.

Spurred on by a school-record 2,003 students, the No. 15 Hurricanes improved to 8-0 on the season with a 70-61 win.

The student section, usually not filled for December games, was nearly packed an hour before game time, with students donning orange Santa hats and the giveaway of the game: tacky Christmas T-shirts. The 2,003 students broke the previous record by nearly 300 students – 1,734 turned out for the matchup with Florida State.

The increased number was made possible by the addition of student seating on the baseline opposite the original student section.

After the game, CanesAllAccess posted a video on YouTube of Coach Jim Larrañaga thanking the fans, which quickly received over 30,000 views. Optimism is high around Coral Gables – the No. 15 ranking is the highest Miami has ever been this early in the season.

“It definitely felt like a basketball school,” guard Sheldon McClellan said post-game, after notching 14 points in the victory. “It was a big boost for us.”

Miami hopes to carry the momentum and fan support into the weekend as the Canes take on Wisconsin-Green Bay. The Phoenix is no team to overlook – it was the preseason favorite in the Horizon League and holds the top rating percentage index in the country, while Miami is third in that category.

And if Miami can keep winning, more records are sure to break come ACC play.

BRAD KAAYA Hurricanes quarterback Brad Kaaya was announced as the ACC Rookie of the Year Tuesday afternoon. He is second in the ACC in passing yards and the third Hurricane in program history to receive the award.

Kaaya quickly proved himself, breaking single-game passing records in back-to-back games early in the season, KAAYA throwing for 342 yards against Arkansas State, then breaking that mark a week later with 359 yards against Nebraska.

Some of Kaaya’s numbers this season compare with Hurricane greats – his 25 touchdown passes this season tie him with Bernie Kosar and Ken Dorsey for the fourth most touchdown passes in a single season at Miami.

DEAR V All aboard the Mile High Club

As your chief sexual correspondent, I took it upon myself this past Thanksgiving break to study an important travel dilemma for you: the Mile High Club.

For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of learning about this festive occasion, let me explain via math: you + partner + airplane ride = boom boom.

I have found that this activity is rarely tapped, despite its frequency in movies and pamphlets in doctors’ offices that read “Are you sure you want a vasectomy?”

I’m not saying the Mile High Club is a sexual must that all nymphomaniacs need in order to get their gold membership card, but after two plane rides of testing it out, I can affirm that it is certainly worth a shot. Life is short, so be a crazy college kid.

First of all, it is convenient because there is a certain quality that makes airand-bare-time easier – a small penis.

That’s right, (almost all) men. That little nub you measured every morning before school actually has a place to fit in.

Think about it, that cabinet labeled as

a bathroom in the back of the jet is about the size of the toilet section in the bathrooms of Mahoney Residential College.

Which, as most of you know, isn’t even big enough for a real door. For all of the freshman who have never seen Mahoney bathrooms, start hitting on elder students and go look because your “Dining Hall on Steroids” generation doesn’t understand small.

Therefore, a small genitool is a gift that doesn’t require much motion – perfect for enclosed encounters.

Secondly, it relaxes the hell out of you.

Flying keeps getting scarier now that it appears to be an Ebola death trap.

Nothing eases your stresses more than a hot, steamin’ dose of sweaty flesh.

Though, of course, your anxiety level will lower more quickly if you know what you’re doing.

One word: turbulence.

Turbulence is the devil. It spills drinks onto your iPad. It wakes you up from sleeping on that grandma’s shoulder.

And, worst of all, it bumps heads in the midst of concentrated intercourse.

Don’t try bending your partner over the toilet – one bump of turbulence and her teeth will be decorating the wall (also, your package will be taking on an extra helping of poopy water).

Your best bet is closing the seat and lid and sitting on the toilet – or, as famous Cowboy-actor and porn star John Wayng might call it: “Reverse Cowgirl.”

That way, turbulence actually becomes your friend because it adds an extra sporadic motion in there for you both.

That way, you can conquer your fear of turbulence and embrace it, like Batman would (Christian Bale Batman, not “Lego Movie” Batman).

All in all, the Mile High Club is an experience that certainly adds to your sexual repertoire and recipe book, which is, after all, 90 percent of college.

The other 10 percent is for passing math.
