PROFILE

Professor receives Emmy for work on ‘Boardwalk Empire’ First-time recipient is third-time nominee

BY ALYSHA KHAN ONLINE EDITOR

There is a little piece of Hollywood fame right here on campus – and it’s sitting on School of Communication professor Jeffrey Stern’s office, nestled between stacks of paper and his computer.

Stern was part of the team that was awarded an Emmy for Outstanding Sound Editing For A Series for season three of the HBO show “Boardwalk Empire.” Stern served as the dialogue editor.

“It’s nice to know your peers are listening and appreciating what you do,” said Stern, who teaches in the department of cinema and interactive media.

Before working on “Boardwalk Empire,” Stern had been a sound editor for more than 80 movies, including “Goodfellas,” “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Chicago.”

While this is Stern’s first Emmy win, it is his third nomination. He was nominated in 2003 for his work as sound editor on PBS’s “American Masters” series. In 2012, he was nominated for an Emmy for his role in the sound editing team for season two of “Boardwalk Empire.”

Professor Ed Talavera, the chair of the department of cinema and interactive media, said when he first heard about Stern’s nomination, he knew his colleague was going to take home the trophy.

“He is such a talented teacher and professional, that it was clear he was going to win,” he said.

Senior Kate Maier is a student in Stern’s sound editing class this semester. She said having an Emmy winner as a professor is “awesome.”

“He’s a great listener and has a lot of patience,” she said. “He’s just a really nice person.”

Maier and a friend were also in the audience when Stern received his award at the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards show on Sept. 15, which were held a week before the Primetime Emmys.

“He was so surprised to see us there,” she said. “It was pretty cool.”

But Stern did not always intend to be a sound editor, let alone an Emmy winner. When he graduated from college more than 30 years ago, Stern was a sculpture major who got into the field simply because there were jobs available.

“I didn’t immediately appreciate all the possibilities,” he said.

Now, he said sound editing is “a thrill” for him.

“You are trying to tell a story, and sound, like every other element in a movie, is at the beck and call of telling that story,” he said. “It’s pretty powerful.”

FOR MORE INFORMATION Jeffrey Stern, a School of Communication professor, was part of the sound editing team for the HBO series “Boardwalk Empire.” The show airs at 9 p.m. on Sundays.

Course offers hands-on museum curating experience at Lowe Exhibit reflects class research, travel

BY ARIANA MOLINA CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Since May, students, faculty members and visitors have enjoyed the Lowe Art Museum’s f ifth installment in the series called “ArtLab @ The Lowe.” The program provides students in the College of Arts and Sciences with hands-on experience in curating museum exhibitions.

The latest one, “From Ancient Art to Modern Molas: Recurring Themes in Indigenous Panama,” gives an inside look at Panama’s most important artistic traditions. Colorf ul textiles called molas are the main attraction of this exhibition; they help to tell stories about traditional life in Panama. The textiles were made by indigenous Guna women to express their identity and to generate income as well.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Molas are hand-stitched cotton panels and blouses made of a kind of cotton cloth that has multiple layers and multiple colors. They usually depict aspects of the women’s traditional lives along Panama’s islands. Sometimes the designs are abstract, but they are usually interpretations of marine life such as stingrays or crabs.

Traci Ardren was in charge of last spring’s ArtLab course. As an associate professor of anthropology, she is especially interested in New World prehistoric cultures. As an anthropological archaeologist, her research has concentrated on issues of identity and other forms of symbolic representation in the archeological record.

“ArtLab is one of my favorite courses,” she said.

The class explored the connections between the mola collection of the Lowe, the pre-Columbian pottery of the Cocle culture and modern Panamanian artists. Ardren has previously organized exhibitions for the permanent Oct. 7 - Oct. 9, 2013

collection of the Lowe such as the f irst exhibition of Guatemalan textile.

One of the students in her class was Aimee Allen. A senior majoring in public relations and art history, she said she learned a lot throughout the semester.

“The classes were mostly research to begin with,” she said.

The classes consisted of articles and books that Ardren assigned to students to give background on the cultures and types of artwork that the students were researching.

“As part of the class, we traveled to the San Blas District in northeast Panama during Spring Break,” Allen said.

For four nights, the students got to experience Guna life and “interview the people and get their opinions on the molas from the Lowe’s collection.”

Senior Juan Pablo Sanchez, who is majoring in anthropology and art history, said his favorite part of the course was “putting it all together after we researched and traveled.”

Both agreed that the hands-on travel experience made a big difference.

“The collection included more than 150 works of art that we narrowed to less than 50 for the exhibition,” Allen said. “We controlled every aspect of the exhibit: the colors of the walls, the text, even how each piece was displayed.”

IF YOU GO WHAT: “From Ancient Art to Modern Molas: Recurring Themes in Indigenous Panama” ArtLab exhibit WHERE: Lowe Art Musuem WHEN: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 4 p.m.

Sunday. The exhibit will be on display through April 27, 2014.

Q&A

Best-selling author talks new book, writing process

Writer visits campus to discuss upcoming play

BY ALEXANDER GONZALEZ NEWS EDITOR

Dava Sobel, New York Times bestselling science writer, visited campus Thursday to talk about her new book and play, “A More Perfect Heaven: How Copernicus Revolutionized the Cosmos.”

The Miami Hurricane sat down with her to talk about the process of writing a play, her decision to go into science writing and her love for astronomy.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE: Why did you decide to make “A More Perfect Heaven” a play?

DAVA SOBEL: It is a mix. The play is called “And the Sun Stood Still.” That part is fiction. The other two-thirds of the book are a straightforward, narrative discussion of Copernicus, his time and his influence on the present day.

Originally I had thought of writing a play because he has a very interesting dramatic moment in his life, which is that he, even though he had come up with this great idea and worked on it for most of his 60 years – he lived to be 70, but worked on it for at least 30 years – he wasn’t going to publish it because he was anxious about the response he was going to receive. A young man then came to visit him and pushed him to publish. That was the thing that interested me.

Everyone knows that the meeting happened.

It’s well documented. But how do you convince someone to do something that he has avoided for his lifetime? I wanted to get at that. I wanted to try, by learning everything I could about Copernicus, if I could recre-

ate that and what issues would come up between them.

In the course of doing that, my publisher, who had agreed to publish a play, urged me to tell the whole story around the play, that it would make a better piece of work.

TMH: Has the play been performed yet?

DS: There have been numerous readings. There was even a reading in Poland.

It will have a fully staged performance this coming spring in Boulder. I am very excited.

TMH: What role will you have in the production?

DS: I’ll go out for the beginning of the rehearsal process because this group helped me improve the play. The version that appears in the book was something I wasn’t completely happy with yet. I felt it worked well enough in the book, but it could never get up on its feet and work. It didn’t have enough conflict and energy; it was missing something, but I didn’t know what. But I knew it would not work as a staged play unless I did something more to it.

When the book came out, I had a book tour and whoever was hosting me, whether it was a bookstore or university, I asked to round up a couple actors and have them do a couple of scenes. People will then get the idea.

In Boulder, Colo., I had the best actors.

They put a lot of time into it even though what they did was 10 minutes, and the director had worked with them to have a little staging of it. After that long period of travel, I got in touch with the director and asked if he would give me a workshop, meaning we’d spend a week together with a group of actors and figure out what was wrong with the play. After the first read-through, he said to me, “You have an extraneous figure in the play. If you get rid of him and rewrite around

him, it will all come together.” I would have never seen that myself, but it worked. It was the very thing. I’m really happy now.

TMH: Is there a particular moment in your life that led you to become a science writer?

DS: I think if I have ever heard the term when I was young, I would have said that.

I’m 66, so when I was growing up and was at the Bronx High School of Science and excelling in English and creating writing classes, no one ever said to me to combine my interest in writing and science this way. No one was really aware of it. I went through all of college not knowing what to do.

I then got a job with a newspaper.

Within one week at the newspaper, I knew that this is where I am supposed to be, and it was the year of the first Earth Day. Even then, I didn’t know it was called science writing. It took me another year before I met the science writer in the Cornell University News Bureau, and I loved what he was writing about. He left to take a job with the National Science Foundation, and I applied for his job and got it. Then I was really happy.

It wasn’t a big field yet. I started at Cornell in January 1973. The New York Times science section did not exist then. And before that, they certainly had science writers like Walter Sullivan. There wasn’t a sense that it deserved a whole section. The Science Times was the last of the daily sections to come into existence. The advertising department fought it and thought we should have Fashion Tuesday and not Science Times. The editors were interested in having a science section. I went to work at Science Times after a year.

OPINION Appreciate time in Miami

E

veryone has something to leave for the next generation. As future professionals and alumni, we need to stop thinking TAYLOR DUCKETT about ourselves STAFF and think about COLUMNIST what kind of university we want future students to inherit.

Future Canes can avoid experiencing the same struggles we do. All this requires is for students and alumni to give back to the university. The University of Miami would not be where it is today without Canes’ contributions of knowledge, money, resources and innovation.

Leaving a legacy requires filling a void at the university. You don’t have to have a large personal fortune to leave a legacy. You just need a vision and the means to see it through. For example, our alma mater was comprised of students who used their musical talents to pay a lasting tribute to UM. Your legacy can be a groundbreaking thesis or innovative research.

It can also be founding a student organization or campus initiative. Every year, new student orgs are created in order to serve a need or increase awareness about a specific culture, religion or social issue.

Student Government presidents have left a legacy through the U statute installed last year. Alumni can also leave a legacy by providing scholarships to specific student populations or making a donation that results in the beautification of campus.

At the end of four years, students should be able to look back and see what change they helped bring about on campus.

We should take advantage of the resources available to us here at the university and allow it to enrich our lives.

But, for everything we take, we should also give something back.

Taylor Duckett is a junior majoring in economics.

The University of Miami has featured its share of prominent guest speakers such as President Barack Obama, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and journalist Soledad O’Brien in the recent years. But they are not first to cross the ibis-covered pavements. In fact, since the university opened for classes in 1926, international and national politicians, writers and journalists have spoken to di erent generations of students. They are part of UM’s history. Here’s a look at a few of the famous faces that have visited campus.

Eleanor Roosevelt had been a U.S. delegate to the UN in the ‘40s and was invited by the Miami UN Association to speak on “The UN and You.” She discussed the fight against communism and the Korean War as well as the spirit of the UN, according The Miami Hurricane archives.

When Roosevelt arrived, she was greeted at the entrance of the Student Club and then held a televised conference with foreign students in its upper lounge, the article explains. She also received a campus tour led by a human relation professor.

During her visit, Roosevelt spoke with an English professor, visited the student publications office, and stopped to take a photo with an old lady holding a camera who asked her to smile, according to one of the Miami Hurricane articles.

alf a year after the end of World War II, the University of Miami thanked one of the greatest war leaders of the century – British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

During the Special Convocation on Feb. 26, 1946, then-UM-President Bowman Foster Ashe welcomed Churchill to the Roddey Burdine Municipal Stadium, the name for the Orange Bowl at the time.

“We have done this simply to express the admiration and gratitude which the people of this community feel toward him and toward the great nation which he represents,” Ashe told the crowd of more than 17,000 people that day.

Churchill was vacationing in South Florida on doctor’s orders to dodge England’s harsh winter, according to an article reported by The Miami Herald. In his address at the convocation, Churchill said, “I have enjoyed my stay in your genial sunshine, and it has done me some good.”

In addition to thanking UM for the degree, he also thanked the university on behalf of his whole country for the help that UM offered Great Britain during the war by training 1,200 cadets of the Royal Air Force before the U.S. had even got involved in the effort. This was Churchill’s first speech in the U.S. after the war.

“Everybody at the law school went,” Charles Wakeman, an alumnus who graduated in 1948, told Miami Magazine.

RICHARD NIXON 1966 COURTESY OF THE UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES, UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI LIBRARIES

n September 1966, Richard Nixon – a former vice president at the time – visited UM’s campus to speak on behalf of republican Mike Thompson’s campaign for a Florida district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

At the rally, which took place at the Whitten Student Union, Nixon strayed from the subject of congressional matters and shared his thoughts on then-President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration. He called Johnson “the most expensive president in history” and criticized his approach in handling the Vietnam War. Nixon said that the most important thing for American youth was “to be something” – whether that be a republican or democrat. In fact, he said that a bipartisan legislature would be an instrument for greater American government, according to an article published in The Miami Hurricane.

Thompson went on to lose the election to Dante Fascell, a name familiar to guests who stop at the visitor’s center at Biscayne National Park.

Nixon’s visit came only four short months after a visit from Martin Luther King, Jr., who spoke to students after an invitation from the department of religion and then-UM President Henry King Stanford.

DONALD JUSTICE PULITZER PRIZE WINNER

ENRIQUE IGLESIAS SINGER

Many graduates enjoy the spotlight, dominating the screen, stadium or the stage, but Pulitzer Prize winning author Donald Justice is notable for a different kind of glory. Justice is known for his vast body of literature in poetry and prose. The Miami-born writer began at UM, studying music before switching his sights and earning a degree in English literature. Justice taught at various universities and wrote many critically acclaimed works, including his poetry collection, “Selected Poems,” for which he was awarded the 1980 Pulitzer Prize.

Though most of us know him for his infectious music and wild dance moves, Iglesias actually spent a year studying at UM. The singer, whose father did not approve of his musical career, studied business from 1993 to 1994 before the release of his first album, “Enrique Iglesias,” in 1995. Though little is known about his short stint at the school, it has been said that living in Miami influenced the famous crooner’s music.

PATTI STANGER THE MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER The Millionaire Matchmaker herself also started off as a Cane. Patti Stanger told The Miami Hurricane in a 2010 interview that she matched her best friend with her husband while studying here. After graduating from UM, she worked in marketing and fashion before taking on the role as head of marketing at the dating service Great Expectations. She started up The Millionaire’s Club in 2000, which eventually led to her hit Bravo show “The Millionaire Matchmaker.”

Canes erupt in fourth quarter to down GT Miami (5-0, 1-0 ACC) has won seven straight

There is a hurricane watch that has the nation’s eyes on South Florida, but it has nothing to do with the weather.

In their first conference matchup of the season, the Miami Hurricanes (5-0, 1-0 ACC) defeated Georgia Tech 45-30 Saturday.

The Canes have won the last five meetings with the Yellow Jackets (3-2, 2-2 ACC).

Georgia Tech found the end zone on its opening drive, but Miami quarterback Stephen Morris responded in 32 seconds. His 40-yard touchdown pass to junior Philip Dorsett concluded the two-play drive.

Morris recorded his fifth career 300-yard passing game. He finished 17-for-22 with 324 yards and three touchdowns.

“Gutsy,” said coach Al Golden, describing the senior’s performance. “You can tell he’s not 100 percent, but these nine days coming up are huge.”

Miami plays on the road at North Carolina on Oct. 17.

Morris threw two interceptions to seemingly wide open Georgia Tech defenders, but Golden was pleased with his poise.

“He threw an interception, saw it wrong and again, he’s not an excuse guy. He came right over and said, ‘I thought it was too high, I made a mistake,’ and we just moved on,” Golden said.

The Hurricanes turned the ball over four times, including a fumble by sophomore Duke Johnson and a dropped punt by Dorsett.

Golden said earlier in the week that the Canes could not expect to beat the Yellow Jackets if they made mental errors or turned it over.

“We have to get those things fixed,” he said after the game. “We had some untimely

penalties – one before the half cost us four points. We had a couple of fumbles and the dropped punt, which we have to get cleaned up. We absolutely have to get it cleaned up.

We have nine days, and we’re going to go to work hard here on that.”

Johnson made up for his fumble with 184 rushing yards, and he surpassed 300 all-purpose yards for the second time. In two career games against Georgia Tech, Johnson has 460 combined all-purpose yards.

Senior Allen Hurns posted his first career 100-yard receiving game. He took a short pass from Morris 69 yards down the sideline for a touchdown, and Hurns also got his first rushing attempt, which went for 13 yards.

“That is a smart football player,” Golden said of Hurns. “Whatever you ask him to do, he is smart, he studies the game, he spends a lot of time on it. He timed it up, and he had a little tempo there and used the block and made a touch. Great effort by Phillip [Dorsett], too.”

Still on a hot scoring streak, sophomore Oct. 7 - Oct. 9, 2013

running back Dallas Crawford posted two more rushing touchdowns.

And in a true test of the Miami defense, the Hurricanes adjusted to the triple-option and forced three turnovers. Junior linebacker Denzel Perryman recorded 11 tackles, with 10 in the first half alone.

“We’re obviously more explosive. We’re getting more guys around the ball. They’re all the same guys as last year, they’re just playing with a quiet mind. They’re playing so much faster,” Golden said.

The Canes’ winning streak is now at seven games.

“That team we just played, they give you all you can handle,” Golden said. “All you ever want to do against that team is win.

There’s no qualitative analysis here. It’s just straight win or lose, and it was a good win for our guys.”

Looking ahead, Miami’s Oct. 17 game in Chapel Hill will kick off at 7:30 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN. THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Flinn scores twice as Miami beats No. 3 Notre Dame Canes host ACC newcomer Pittsburgh on Thursday

BY ALEX SCHWARTZ STAFF WRITER

Miami had been shut out in four of its past five games, but on Sunday the Canes flipped the script in a big way.

The Hurricanes blanked No. 3 Notre Dame 2-0 at Cobb Stadium for the season’s biggest win.

“We’ve been lucky to have all week to prepare for this game, and I honestly give the girls a ton of credit because we’ve been talking about the small details all season, and they really listened to the small details we talked about,” Miami coach Mary-Frances Monroe said.

“I’m so proud of them. We came in with a game plan, and when we perform it, you obviously see we find success.”

Ashley Flinn tallied both of the Canes’ goals in the win, extending her team lead.

The junior forward opened the scoring in the 52nd minute when she ran down a ball from the Miami back end, split through two Fighting Irish players and sent a bullet into the left upper 90.

“The long ball came in, and then I cut it back and it was just me and the goalie, and sometimes that’s the most dangerous situation you can have because you get too complacent,” Flinn said. “But I had a nice finish and then we were up 1–0, just trying to hold it.”

Flinn iced the game in the 84th minute, scoring on a beautiful strike from near the top of the box. Senior defender Tara Schwitter was credited with the assist.

Miami finally started clicking after its recent offensive slump.

“We applied a little bit more pressure, and we were able to pick off some good passes,” Monroe said. “And we wanted to attack, we didn’t want to be defensiveminded.”

The Hurricanes still showed up defensively, though, as the back line was superb, and junior goalkeeper Emily

NICK GANGEMI // ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR TWO FOR ONE: Junior Ashley Flinn drives past two Notre Dame players and scores late in the second half of Sunday’s game. Miami beat No. 3 Notre Dame 2-0, marking the second straight year the Canes defeated a top-five team.

Lillard made six saves. It was Miami’s first shutout since the season opener.

For Miami (7-4, 2-4 ACC), the game was its third straight against a top-five opponent and its fifth against a top-12 team in the last six contests. This is the second consecutive year that the Canes have defeated a team in the top five, as they knocked off No. 1 Florida State last season.

Notre Dame (9-2-1, 5-1-1 ACC) snapped a sevengame winning streak.

Monroe said Sunday’s quality win will provide momentum going forward.

“I think the confidence is skyrocketed for each and every one of them, and … everybody is just pumped and psyched to go into our next game,” she said.

That matchup will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at Cobb Stadium against another ACC newcomer, Pittsburgh.

@UMiamiENN

V,

Dear Selena Gomez,

I’m not sure why, but I always find myself attracted to younger guys. I’m 21, but most of the boys I like are 18 to 20 years old. My friends constantly make fun of me and call me a cradle-robber and a cougar. It’s not like I do it on purpose; it just so happens that the guys I find myself attracted to turn out to be younger than me. Is it really that bad? Should I try to overcome this?

Sincerely, Mrs. Robinson

My friends call me a cougar...

I’m going to preface all of this with the following: if you so wish to cradle-rob an immaculately sculpted member of One Direction and don’t feel like dealing with the older douches that populate Miami, by all means do so. You have my complete and total support in your fawning over Harry Styles.

Also, tell your friends to grow up.

We’ve all been there. There is no shame in liking someone younger, so long as it’s legal. The general rule is that the youngest you should go is half your age plus seven, but since we’re still at a time in our lives when that means 17, you should probably stick to people that have, at the very least, graduated high school.
