TODAY IN MIAMI HISTORY In 1984, The Miami Student reported that a Miami junior filed a $35,000 lawsuit in Butler County Common Pleas Court in connection with an incident at the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity house. After falling down a flight of stairs, the student sued the local chapter of the fraternity and the Miami Realty Association.

Former employee wins ‘Jeopardy!’ jackpot

BY ANNA HOFFMAN FOR THE MIAMI STUDENT

Sarah McNitt, former employee of Miami’s Global Initiative office, recently won over $91,000 throughout her five-game winning streak on “Jeopardy!”

For McNitt, the road to her stint on the television trivia game show was long and winding.

“It’s a show that I watched with my family growing up and it all seemed so distant,” McNitt said.

“I was in college in 1999 when the ‘Jeopardy!’ Brain Bus came to Ann Arbor looking for contestants for the College ‘Jeopardy!’ Tournament, and that was the first time that it seemed accessible.”

According to McNitt, after the audition process turned digital and hopeful participants were allowed to take an online qualifying quiz, she has taken every opportunity to do so.

In 2009, 10 years after the Brain Bus stopped in Ann Arbor, McNitt learned she had passed the most recent online test and would advance to in-person auditions. From there, she advanced even further. She was invited into the 18-month contestant pool, from which contestants would be drawn to appear on the show. However, she was not chosen from the pool over those 18 months, and was forced to start over again with the next online test.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t get picked, but I wasn’t too disappointed, because every audition meant a little more practice with the signaling device and a little more time spent hanging out with my fellow ‘Jeopardy!’ nerds,” McNitt said.

When she was again invited to an in-person interview, she was

scheduled to appear on her wedding day. “Jeopardy!” was accommodating, and allowed her to audition the next day.

In preparation for the show, McNitt purchased and read Prisoner of Trebekistan by Jeopardy! champion Bob Harris, along with several other Jeopardy! guides.

“My husband would help me by asking questions out of the books,” McNitt said. “That said, a lot comes down to buzzer timing and wagering strategy, so I wish I’d worked on those more. It’s more effective to learn things over time as opposed to cramming for them at the last minute, so I’m not sure that my trivia cramming was that helpful.”

According to McNitt, her time spent in Oxford having trivia nights with her co-workers was useful.

“I miss that now that I’m in Iowa!” McNitt said. “I used to also save up interesting trivia to share with my dentist, Dr. Deborah Schindler. I have not yet found a trivia-loving dentist here in CONTRIBUTED BY SARAH MCNITT Iowa, either.”

Construction comes in like a REC-ing ball Redhawks rush to 2014 formal Greek recruitment

BY LIBBY MUELLER SENIOR STAFF WRITER

With gleaming cardio equipment, a shiny new group fitness room and a pro shop stocked with spirited apparel, the Miami University Recreational Sports Center (REC) renovations are nearly complete.

REC executive director Doug Curry said there are only a few final flourishes left.

“They’re about 99 percent complete,” Curry said. “We still have some final touches.”

Curry said the changes to the REC aimed to serve students.

“With Hydrations leaving the facility, we knew we needed a bigger pro shop to serve not only the Miami students but also the special events, so that was the first goal, and have new workout gear available to students,” Curry said. “The other piece is the multipurpose room. One of our most popular programs is group fitness and both of those rooms have been scheduled to the max.”

Formal recruitment for Miami University’s more than 40 Greek chapters began this week with 2,200 interested students registered.

In fact, with 1,300 female students signed up, senior PanHellenic Vice President of Public Relations Kat Davies said this is the largest sorority recruitment turnout Miami has seen.

Claire Noone, senior vice president of recruitment for PanHellenic, said the numbers have been rising for the past five years in part due to the growing firstyear class size, but also because of the wide array of opportunities the chapters offer.

“We really want our community to grow as big as it can get,” Noone said.

Beginning with a kick-off event held Thursday Jan. 30, formal sorority recruitment will take place over the next two weekends.

Potential new members — known as PNMs — can expect to go through four rounds that focus on the five pillars of Greek life, Davies said. The first round is the welcome round and PNMs will visit all 16 participating sororities. The next round is sisterhood, followed by the philanthropy round then concluding with preference round where the PNMs will rank their top choices in the hopes of receiving a mutually selective bid.

The first-year and sophomore women involved in the

recruitment process can expect the next two weekends to be nothing short of hectic, according to Noone.

“It’s usually pretty exhausting,” Noone said about the sometimes day-long events.

However, Davies said the girls who signed up for recruitment should have some idea about the time commitment, which varies based on how many invitations a girl receives back to a chapter after each round.

“I’m not too nervous to meet new people but it’s the time commitment,” sophomore PNM Laura Burger said. “We base year off credit hour here, and the directory says she is a sophomore.”

Burger’s concern is shared by fellow sophomore PNM Alannah McBreen, who said she worries about keeping up with schoolwork, but nevertheless is excited to meet new people and gain new friends through the process.

Going Greek is an excellent way to expand a friendship circle, according to Austin Estes the Interfraternity Council Vice President of Recruitment, who said his favorite part of joining a fraternity was meeting a large group of new people.

“I think it makes Miami a much smaller campus,” Estes said.

Formal recruitment for the men is a four-day process that began Monday Jan. 28, according to Estes. The chapters hold open houses and the first-years, sophomores and a few juniors who are

“We’re really proud of that,” he said. “For example, one award we’ve won is for Best Special Event. Remember that Willy Wonka-themed dinner at Harris Dining Hall last year?”

Brubacher went on to list other awards: Best Local Use of Food, Catering, Best Vegan Recipe, Best Local Ingredients, Best Use of Technology, Best On-Campus Convenience Store. Miami University has swept the board.

But where is this award-winning food coming from and what makes it so great? That answer can be found on the outskirts of Miami’s campus, barely a mile away, at the food service headquarters.

IDs necessary, despite replacement costs

BY KATHLEEN CLYBURN FOR THE MIAMI STUDENT

A lost Miami ID card costs a replacement fee of $35, and repairing a damaged card has a fee of $10.

However, Brian Woodruff, director of Housing Options, Meals and Events (HOME), said he believes the use of smart ID cards is safer, more efficient and more cost-effective than the use of keys.

“The use of smart card technology eliminated the need for student room keys on campus and provides additional security and convenience,” Woodruff said.

“Prior to the electronic door access, when a student lost their room key, the room had to be rekeyed, which had a significantly higher cost, and involved more labor and materials.”

He said the newer smart cards are more expensive to produce than keys and traditional magstripe only cards; however, the university does not charge an initial fee for the smart ID cards. Every student is issued a smart card upon enrollment to the university.

Also, if a student possesses an old, “non-smart” ID card, they can take their old card to the H.O.M.E. office and have it replaced free of charge, Woodruff said. Where fees do pop up is when a student loses or damages their card. According to Woodruff, the university is not for profit so this fee goes into covering costs incurred from the ID printing, as well as towards card readers and door access maintenance and program reinvestment.

Miami students are curious about the exact usage of the fees they pay, including sophomore Kahlie Hake.

“You have to wonder where all of our money is going,” Hake said. “In certain instances Miami is starting to look like a corporation and not an institution focused on education and student interests.”

Students on campus have expressed opinions about using their smart phones to hold the same information held on a smart ID card.

“I believe this would be a good option,” Hake said. “It would allow students with smart phones

to hold all of their card information on something that they always carry and it would eliminate the risk of losing or damaging an ID card and having to pay the fees, as well as eliminating any maintenance and labor costs surrounding smart ID cards to the university.”

Miami embraces these types of student requests and ways to be more efficient and effective, according to Woodruff. The university is in the process of investigating the possibility of using smart phones in place of smart ID cards.

The university has not moved forward with these plans yet, wanting the technology to be available and advanced enough to uphold Miami’s standards of safety surrounding the residence halls, students and their account information.

“Safety and security are top priority when it comes to the campus ID card, as they provide access to student rooms, meal plan accounts, and MUlaa accounts,” Woodruff said.

For now, smart ID cards will remain in effect as will the lost or damaged card fees.

ASC feels the love from Miami Merger couple

BY KAITLYN FOYE

FOR THE MIAMI STUDENT

The year was 1956. It was a warm, late-spring day, and although the academic school year was coming to a close, elections for the Student Senate at Miami University had only just begun.

“Stevie approached me on the sidewalks of campus and asked me to nominate her for office,” Roger Joslin recalled nearly 57 years later.

“I bit my tongue and eventually told her no, I would not do that, because I was afraid that would jeopardize my own election.”

Stephanie “Stevie” wasn’t bitter.

They were both elected to two-year terms on the executive committee.

Although the first encounter between Roger and Stevie Joslin was anything but romantic, it marked the beginning of a relationship that has lasted more than 56 years.

“I can’t even remember when our first date was, but it probably occurred after one of our executive committee meetings,” Stevie said.

“It wasn’t an ‘aha moment,’ so to speak; it just unfolded and unraveled, and a friendship became a relationship, and a relationship became a courtship.”

Several months after their meeting on the sidewalk, the two found themselves in the lounge at Richard Hall, where Stevie lived. Here, Roger proposed.

“He gave me a beautiful one-carat diamond, which had been in his family,” Stevie said. “I was blown away, and he said, ‘You don’t have to keep it if you don’t want it.’ The rest is history.”

The couple married the week after they graduated from Miami.

Roger and Stevie Joslin spend their winters in Florida, and have been happily married for more than 50 years. They finish each other’s sentences, although Stevie does a lot more talking than Roger. Despite each being only a few years short of 80, the Joslins are involved in their church, host private receptions and donate to their alma mater, Miami University.

The Joslins’ first great commitment to Miami came in the form of a fully-endowed tennis scholarship in honor of their daughter Jill, who graduated in 1987.

“The fact that another classmate had endowed a scholarship inspired us to do likewise,” Stevie said. “So we hope that in the process [of our donating to the Armstrong Student Center] others who are capable of giving would also be inspired to give.”

“It’s amazing what the law of numbers does… it really adds

up,” President David Hodge said.

“Even in small amounts, it makes a big difference.”

In 2008, the Joslins celebrated their 50-year class reunion – and wedding anniversary – by naming the Joslin Family Terrace at the Armstrong Student Center with a $500,000 gift. The terrace, which provides seating for outdoor dining, sits at the Gaskill West entrance of the building and provides a view of the campus’ Hub, director of the Armstrong Student Center Katie Wilson said.

Roger and Stevie are among many Miami alumni who have committed themselves to the university, giving back all that they can so that others may have as wonderful an experience as they had.

To date, the campaign “For Love and Honor” has been the most successful fundraising effort in Miami’s history, surpassing its $500 million goal, according to the campaign’s website. Of that goal, $30 million went to the Armstrong Student Center.

Many of the donations have come from the Miami Merger population – couples like the Joslins and the Armstrongs. With an estimated 26,580 Miami alumni married to each other, Miami Mergers make up more than 14 percent of living Miami alumni, according to the Alumni Association’s website. “[Mergers] owe their career and marriage to Miami,” Hodge said. “[They have] affection for the university.”

The Joslins have recently announced they will also be naming the Student Senate Chambers, honoring the birthplace of their relationship.

“Miami just means the world to me,” Stevie said. “I just feel that everything we have is really on loan, and we are to be good stewards of what we’ve been blessed with.”

Current students must recognize this generosity, Hodge said.

“Students are here and enjoying what they are because of people who came before them,” Hodge said. “It is really, really, really important for students today to understand that the students of tomorrow will depend on their generosity.”

Hodge encouraged that all alumni begin donating as soon as they graduate. Until then, they should enjoy their limited time at the university.

“I think that the four years that you’re on campus at Miami will, should, be the best years of your life…” Stevie said. “I hope that students will not miss all the opportunities that they have.”

Roger added, “And I can’t say it any better.”

POLICE Presidential task force to advise

BEAT Hotheaded red head loses her cool at bar

At 2:27 a.m. Wednesday, OPD responded to Brick Street Bar and Grille, 36 E. High St., to a report of an assault.

Officers were advised to look for a red-haired girl matching the description given by the employee.

One officer spotted and approached the suspect at the corner of High and Main Streets as two Brick Street employees came running up to her.

The victim stated she wished to press charges.

According to the victim, the suspect, a Miami senior, had been removed from the establishment earlier for punching another patron.

She insisted she knew the bar owner and demanded she speak with him.

As he was unavailable, the female employee spoke with the girl outside, at which point the suspect grabbed the employee’s hair and began punching her in the face.

OPD said the suspect was restrained by other employees and backed off and left the property.

When confronted by OPD, she presented ID and was cited for assault and transported home.

Shivering girl, stuttering tongue, slurred speech At 6:12 a.m. Monday, OPD responded to the 400 block of E. Sycamore St. to deal with a seemingly intoxicated, distraught female stumbling near the roadway. At the time of arrival, it was seven degrees above zero.

The 18-year-old female was “improperly dressed,” for the extremely low temperatures, her face was red and swollen and her hair was wet and messy.

Smelling of alcohol, she was unable to provide her address when asked, according to OPD, and instead “muttered random numbers.”

She was taken to McCulloughHyde Memorial Hospital where she was still unable to answer basic questions. She was cited for sales to and use by underage persons and disorderly conduct: public intoxication, risk of harm. She was left in the care of hospital staff.

Male uses ‘rush week’ as excuse for intoxication At 12:07 a.m. Thursday, officers were sent to the 302 S. Main St. in reference to a noise complaint. As he stepped out the door, the officer noticed a urinating male.

The officer watched the sophomore student zip his pants and pick up a lit cigarette from the porch. In his wake were a telltale melted region of snow and wet spot on the brick exterior of the house.

He looked at the officer, leaned against the wall, briefly hung his head, regained his balance and walked toward him. He asked the officer who he was and why he was there, according to OPD. The officer mentioned the noise complaint, and the male said he would turn down the music, which had already been turned off.

When asked if he had been drinking, the male responded, “just a little,” but that he was only drinking because of fraternity rush, and that the party inside was a rush party.

Further, he explained that his drinking was not a big deal, because it was rush week.

The officer informed the male he smelled as if he had been drinking a lot. The suspect had already admitted to being 20, but demanded his ID back and that the officer leave.

The officer arrested the male.

OPD found a second Illinois driver’s license in the suspect’s wallet, and were immediately able to tell it was fictitious. He was cited for sales to and use by underage persons, disorderly conduct: public intoxication and certain acts prohibited. He was taken to Butler County Jail.

emotional well-being. For example, if the offender is a fellow Miami student, we work to make sure they aren’t living in the same dorm, or in the same classroom with the survivor if that was the case.”

Getson also works to prepare others to handle crisis situations.

Samantha Brooks, Graduate Resident Director in Minnich Hall, said herself and other resident assistants (RA) are trained in crisis management in July before students arrive on campus.

The training includes how to deal with rape and sexual assault.

“Part is counseling related – we learn to identify changes to look for in a survivor. For example, if their grades are off or social life is different,” Brooks said.

Once those in need are identified, the staff is equipped to provide support.

“We are taught how to talk to them and what to say,” Brooks said. “We tell them that they are not alone, and that it is not their fault.”

Brooks said training has helped her feel more prepared to handle real-life situations.

FOR THE MIAMI STUDENT

President Obama recently launched a task force to fight rape and sexual assault on college campuses across the nation.

The task force, which includes the Secretary of Education, Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Attorney General, will set guidelines for how colleges can raise awareness, as well as develop protocols, for handling situations of sexual assault.

Rebecca Getson, Miami’s sexual assault response coordinator, leads a team that addresses attacks occurring in Oxford.

“I reach out to every survivor,” Getson said. “There is a handful of additional people, to get them the assistance that they need and to make sure that we are doing everything we can. But just a handful of people need to know.”

Getson said incidents are handled on a case-by-case basis.

“We have a lot of options, and it depends on what the survivor needs,” Getson said. “We give them as much information as we can in order to cover physical and

If an assault occurs on campus, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Miami University Police Department. If it happens Uptown, it is under the jurisdiction of the Oxford Police Department.

“We can talk to the police, but the university itself cannot press charges,” Getson said. “We work parallel with [the police] to make

Getson said Miami is focusing on improving educational efforts.

sure we cover everything.”

Getson is optimistic about Obama’s new plan and said it’s a great opportunity to put a spotlight on the issue of campus rape and assault.

“Last year, [President Obama] authorized the Campus Save Act, which expands what universities need to do,” Getson said.

“We are currently getting recommendations for response and

recording data to create a map of the city’s drinking water system – pipes, meters and valves.

“The city does not receive enough water to support its growing population and does not have a map for the water system,” sophomore assistant project manager Melanie Bukovec said. “This is a problem because a map is necessary in determining the outcomes of leaks and areas where water is being used but not paid for.”

By creating a map of the Chaguarpamba’s water system, the group was able to determine the necessary changes that would increase the overall amount of water available to the city.

“There were several main goals for the trip,” sophomore president Alexa Miller said.

“These included monitoring Chaguarpamba’s water chlorination system and testing an experimental water filter which uses the seed of a Moringa tree.”

While Engineers Without

STAFF WRITER

Over winter term, six members of Miami’s Engineers Without Borders organization traveled to Chaguarpamba, Ecuador with hopes of increasing and improving the area’s water supply. Engineers Without Borders is a student-run organization dedicated to improving quality-of-life in impoverished countries through various engineering developments.

Engineers Without Borders has traveled to Ecuador for the past two years. The purpose of the first trip was to assess Chaguarpamba’s drinking water.

The group decided the city’s water was in poor condition and was causing illness throughout the community.

The group returned in January 2013 to implement the necessary changes to improve the water system.

This year, students focused on

Borders is an opportunity for students to gain experience with real world applications of engineering, the participants involved said they tend to get more out of the trip than just engineering practice.

“The best part about the trip is being able to interact with another community and culture as well as be able to see the difference that I have on other people,” Bukovec said. “The past two trips to Ecuador have been such amazing experiences for me and it was really great to return this year and see familiar faces.”

“The impact goes full circle,” Miller said. “Not only were we able to impact the community of Chaguarpamba, but the community impacts us on a daily basis through teaching our team about their culture and leading with example as it pertains to embracing another culture.”

The group also carries out multiple projects throughout the year within the Oxford community.

Last year, the chapter worked in collaboration with the University of Cincinnati’s chapter and Greater Cincinnati Professional chapters to replace a 40-foot hiking trail bridge at Kennedy Park in Cincinnati.

“This upcoming semester we hope to work with local schools to plan an activity to involve and excite kids about engineering,” group member Anastasia Raftis said. “Furthermore, we are working with different organizations to help with new, sustainable engineering projects in the community.”

Engineers Without Borders is a way for students from all majors to get involved in helping others throughout the world.

“Engineers Without Borders gives students the opportunity to make a difference in the world with our knowledge and skills and see direct results,” Raftis said. “It is gratifying to know what we do impacts people’s lives.”

I told my players that what they say will be much more important than anything that I can say. That peer influence will be 10 times stronger than anything I can say. The goal is to have a selfmotivated team, not a coach motivated team.”

Wright’s strategy was more than successful, as he had seven All-Americans during his time at Gannon. After so much success with Gannon, Wright said divine intervention led him to Miami.

“I wasn’t planning on leaving Gannon when Miami contacted me about the job,” Wright said.

“The Lord led me here, and I believe that I’m going to go where the Lord leads me. I’m excited about being here, it’s a special place.”

According to Miller, MARS is comprised of 10 to 12 members.

“We want to teach people how to recognize if they are gaining consent or not, and what to do if they see a situation,” Miller said.

Miller said he would like to see MARS reach out to more people and gain more visibility on campus.

want them to feel pressured to play basketball,” Wright said.

“The only thing that stuck was basketball.”

Wright said the most influential person he has encountered in his coaching career is his wife, Diane.

“Basketball-wise, my wife doesn’t know a whole lot, but she has strong understanding of relationships,” Wright said. “Strong leaders work hard to cultivate relationships with the people they lead. If coaching was just about putting an orange ball going through a rim, I’ve wasted 28 years of my life. Coaching basketball gives me an opportunity to teach life skills. For me, coaching isn’t just about the x’s and o’s; it is about creating a team and teaching players how to be great teammates. Great teammates lead to great teams.

We want to teach our players about hard work teamwork, relationships, commitment. These are life skills they can take with them after Miami.”

Those words: working hard, teamwork, relationships and commitment, are on the walls of Wright’s office in Millett Hall.

They are part of what has made him successful enough to build a career coaching a sport that many of us only have the pleasure of watching. see equal enforcement of policies regardless of the perpetrators roles or positions on campus.

“Often times, people think of rape as a gray area when really a line has been crossed and a student’s health has been harmed,” Brooks said. “It is frustrating to see that not properly dealt with.”

Getson said she believes campus rape and sexual assault are preventable.

“How long it will take depends on how much time and education are necessary to change the culture,” Getson said.

“I know we have responses on the weight room’s too crowded and we’re always talking about that, but nothing’s on the books right now,” Curry said.

going through recruitment visit the houses of their choice in the hopes of receiving a bid.

According to Estes, fraternities begin giving bids as early as the first day of recruitment, and once a bid is accepted, the PNM can stop visiting the various houses and get to know his new brothers.

“I like to equate it to a threeor four-hour credit course,” Estes said regarding the time commitment of formal recruitment.

The PNMs will participate in mandatory study tables, hosting and attending events and getting to know the existing members and members of their pledge class.

This year, Estes said, 900 Miami men are going through recruitment, which is slightly less than the 1,000 who signed up last year.

Estes said this drop may be due to the $20 registration fee, but the Interfraternity Council also has to turn away students who do not meet the 2.5 GPA requirement and those who have not passed at least 12 credit hours.

Similar to fraternities, Miami’s sororities have participation

according to Hubacher.

“I think it addresses the need for more cardio machines, but I think they could have done a little more to improve the weightlifting space because it’s pretty crowded,” he said.

Junior Abbie Marosi said she thinks the REC tries to serve all students, and the changes reflected that.

“I see that they try [to address student needs],” she said.

“There’s cardio, weights, weight machines, more classes available.

It seems like they’re going for guys and girls and trying to incorporate every type of workout.” requirements. According to Miami’s PanHellenic Association’s Website, women must have completed 12 semester hours and maintained a 2.5 GPA. Academics, according to Noone, are an important part of Greek life.

“The most surprising thing was how much bigger Greek life is than the social aspects of it,” Noone said, pointing out the commitment to philanthropy and the high standards of academic achievement to which chapters hold their members.

According to the Cliff Alexander Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life website, Miami’s Greek community, both sororities and fraternities, has a higher GPA than the non-affiliated community.

Despite the craziness of recruitment, Davies, Estes and Noone agree that going Greek was the right decision for them.

“I don’t think what I realized before joining a sorority was that I was looking for a place I could call home,” Davies said.

The 2014 recruitment process will give a couple thousand participating underclassmen letters to wear proudly, lifelong friend71413 ships and a new place to call home on Miami’s campus.

OPINION

EDITORS EMILY ELDRIDGE NICOLE THEODORE

FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2014

EDITORIAL@MIAMISTUDENT.NET

EDITORIAL

The following piece, written by the editorial editors, reflects the majority opinion of the editorial board.

How even the most boring State of the Union Address affects you Tuesday’s State of the Union address reached low audiences as it dropped to 33.3 million viewers — the lowest since Bill Clinton’s address in 2000 (31.5 million).

While Pretty Little Liars occupied a number of Miami University televisions Tuesday night, the Editorial Board of The Miami Student wants to relay the possible impact of the contents within the State of the Union (SOTU) speech that may effect every student.

To begin: the topic of student loans. With about 47 percent of Miami students receiving loans (70 percent of students receive grants, 75 percent overall receive some sort of financial aid), many students are affected by changes in federal loan policy. In 2012, the average per-borrower debt from a 4-year school was about $25,000 ($29,000 for private 4-year schools). President Obama attempted to address this issue in his SOTU: “We’re offering millions the opportunity to cap their monthly student loan payments to ten percent of their income, and I want to work with Congress to see how we can help even more Americans who feel trapped by student loan debt.” The Board realizes how daunting student loans can be, and it seems as if President Obama does too.

But what may leave you resting assured is the fact that “average income for those with a bachelor’s to those with a high school diploma has increased 20 percent in the last 40 years,” said Morgan Housel, economist and writer at Fool.com. Whether or not you receive federal aid, we were ranked #28 public college with “Best Lifetime ROI”.

Moving on to the topic of gender equality: Women outnumber men on this campus 52 to 48 percent. And so more than half of the student body should pay attention to what Obama said about this issue: “It’s time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a “Mad Men” episode.” He prompts Congress, the rest of the White House and everyone from “Wall Street to Main Street” to give women the opportunities they deserve. He says, “When women succeed, America succeeds.”

Women in college should keep track of what is going on in

public policy as far as gender equality is concerned, because in the upcoming years, as we enter the workforce, it will matter. In 2010, women who worked full time only made 77 percent of what full-time working men earned.

We’re not sure what President Obama can actually do about the wage gap quite yet; maybe he’ll pass another executive order, but we will be on the lookout till then.

Minimum wage was also a topic of discussion Tuesday. This should strike a cord with most students at Miami, especially those who are student employees. President Obama wants to “give America a raise.” Yes, he wants to raise minimum wage again. In the last year, five states have raised their minimum wage law.

This year, Obama wants to push it even higher to $10.10. He said Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and George Miller (D-Calif.) have a bill that will fix inflation of minimum wage. Obama has always been really big on improving the standard of living for low-income families. At the beginning of the year he said he was going to focus on tackling income inequality, so this part of his speech really didn’t surprise any of us.

This all comes back to Obama’s idea that no person who works full time should be living in poverty.

Though 97 percent of us are full time students and pretty far from being considered “poor,” the Editorial Board realizes that a boost in minimum wage would significantly benefit a lot of students at Miami, since about a quarter of college students hold a job while attending college, according to CBS News.

Only time will tell if Obama actually plans to implement this, or if it is just all talk.

The rather typically boring State of the Union address may be tossed aside by a lot of Miami students. And even though The Editorial Board tends to agree that his speech was in parts full of typical political fluff and at times dull, the policy changes he proposed to Congress Tuesday will indeed affect any and all students at this university. So let’s see what Obama has in store for 2014 while we sit back and wait for the next presidential election.

LETTER TO THE READERS

Transparent office makes for transparent journalism As we begin the new year in the Armstrong Student Center, the employees of The Miami Student are surrounded by glass. Everyone can see in; everyone can see what we are up to. There are no boundaries and no brick walls that separate us from our Miami and Oxford community.

Transparency, as first-year journalism students learn early on, is an intricate part of what makes journalism work effectively. The Editorial section of The Miami Student invites readers to continuously reach out to us on social media, write letters to the editor and even submit column ideas and stories to us. We want to hear from you, and we want to know what you think. Before, we may have seemed out-of-reach to our readers, and even faceless. Even though great journalism requires an unbiased look at news and current events, it doesn’t mean readers shouldn’t know who is writing the story, column or article they are reading. We hope this change

of office space ushers in a new era of communication between The Miami Student staff and the community we write for, and allows you to get to know more about who we, the editors, are.

The Editorial section is about showcasing opinions on a range of issues from politics and international news to what’s going on in the Miami community. We want to publish a range of views that can reflect every reader, but we cannot do that without your voice. It is called The Miami Student for a reason, so please, write to us and pitch ideas. Send us feedback on what you think about our editorials and columns.

The only way we can continue to be an effective publication is by hearing constructive criticism and applying it to what we do, just as any other working, professional publication does.

Next Tuesday, the Editorial Board will be featuring a piece about gun control and the recent events and conversations that

have been sparked within the last year concerning it. We would love to hear from readers about their thoughts and stances on the well-debated issue for our editorial next week and thereafter.

Please stop by our office on the second floor of the Armstrong Center in room 3018 if you ever want to speak to us about writing for the editorial section, have something you think we should know about or even just to see what we are doing when we are putting together the newspaper.

We want to be accessible to every member of the Miami community at all times, and the editorial section will only become the facilitator of interesting and important public discussion with your help.

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.

NICOLE’S TWO CENTS

Newsweek going back to print: Sheer business disaster or magazine comeback kid?

Jim Impoco sat quietly at the end of his conference table, with 20 or so quiet college students surrounding the room, staring at him as though he didn’t really exist.

“NewsNICOLE week was THEODORE a huge risk — why did you decide to become editor and chief?” asked someone at the end of the table, curiosity oozing from the entire room in its collective silence.

He was taking a while to answer the first question of the morning interview. It was a rather obvious one that he had fully expected, and one he had been asked countless times since taking the job in September 2013.

Impoco looked ahead through his glasses, at no one in particular and tapped his thumbs on the table.

“With the biggest risk comes the bigger reward,” he said matter-offactly. “I took a pay cut — it was a no-brainer.”

The room laughed at the icebreaker and Impoco cracked a nice smile. I wondered though, was this just a rehearsed media

play-by-play, or was Impoco really finding something to smile about?

Considering the past reputation of the brand he was trying to reimagine and revive, he must really have something up his perfectly pressed sleeve.

What’s this history and reputation Impoco is trying to leave behind? Well for starters, Newsweek ceased its print edition in 2013, marking the end of 80 years of being one of the leading news weekly magazines, right behind TIME. Revenue dropped significantly from 2007 to 2009, due to shifts in its focus and audience in order to fix its finances. It went through a series of buyouts and ended up combining with breaking news website The Daily Beast in 2010, forming The Newsweek Daily Beast Company.

In 2013 Cofounder of the The Daily Beast Tina Brown announced Newsweek in print was over; it would remain digital however and was renamed Newsweek Global.

This move was made in an effort to save the 40 million in annual losses it was accruing from the print edition. Layoffs ensued to a loyal staff, signaling possibly the end of an era of a magazine that once had 1.39 million paid subscriptions.

IBT Media, publisher of the International Business Times, bought the Newsweek brand in August of

2013 from The Daily Beast and Brown, and announced it would be re-launching the weekly print edition sometime in this month or the next.

The Guardian called Newsweek “the poster child of magazine journalism failure,” MediaBistro made a list of what not to say to someone who works at IBT Media about Newsweek going back to print, including “I hear they’re canceling the Internet next year anyway,” “You know we still have TIME, right?” and “make a list of all the other business ideas that you have.

Once you’re done filling out the list, burn it.”

Ouch, is probably an appropriate word at this point.

Impoco probably knows all of this already, but he didn’t seem to care during his half-hour chat with students in the winter NYC media class from Miami.

After working as an editor for Reuters, Conde Nast Portfolio and running the Sunday business section of The New York Times, he knows what he is doing, at least on the editorial side of things.

Newsweek will be following a new, often criticized business model, where the magazine will depend more on subscribers than advertisers and become a “boutique or premium product.” It’s also going to cost readers more to subscribe,

and according to Impoco, it will become an “indispensable read, not an optional read.”

He has already hired “a bunch of people,” including Vanity Fair contributing editor Kurt Eichenwald, Portfolio senior editor Bob Roe and blogger/columnist Jeff Stein of The Washington Post.

Even though Impoco is creating an all-star staff once again for the publication, there is still some doubt to how he will make Newsweek an “indispensable read” and how it will compete with leading news weekly TIME. Well, grabbing Matt Cooper from TIME to work at Newsweek is a start, since Cooper has been involved in huge stories in Washington involving the CIA leak of Valerie Plam, where he was threatened with imprisonment for refusing to testify before a grand jury, along with Judith Miller of The New York Times.

“Our coverage is deeply global, there is really an audience for it,” Impoco said, after speaking about their January story on Ecuador and it’s on going genocidal war over oil exploration in the Amazon.

That’s what Newsweek has always been great at — deep investigative journalism on global and political issues with descriptive writing that jumps off the page.

This is all great and fantastic when

it comes to print, but what about the digital front?

“We are going to continue with faster paced news and deeper dives,” Impoco said. “We will continue to post 5 to 6 news stories a day online.”

These web stories on their newly designed website range in length and topic, and the writers and editors are definitely seeking to produce stories that are more investigative and more in depth than other news sites.

“Our strategy at Newsweek won’t be listicles and cute kittens,” Impoco said in an interview with Digiday in October.

So, don’t be expecting any Buzzfeed type of “news” on Newsweek’s website in an effort to get more page views.

Impoco revealed a more concrete print date of March 7, instead of the original date of this month, due to the design side of the publication needing more time. Is Newsweek the comeback kid of magazines in 2014? I am seriously rooting for it, that’s for sure.

“We were considered dead, and now we are doing OK,” Impoco said continuing to tap his thumbs on the table. “There is life after the Internet.”

COMMENTARY

Millions striving to breathe: 2014 the year for immigration reform On Tuesday Jan. 28, President Obama delivered his sixth State of the Union address. Clocking in officially at 65 minutes, the address touched on everything from the federal minimum wage to climate change.

Interestingly, the president only devoted a single paragraph, buried deep within the text, to the topic of immigration reform. Using the word “immigration” just three times during the more than 6,500 word speech.

It was a move described by some such as Politico’s Reid J. Epstein as deliberate, giving Speaker Boehner and the House Republicans breathing space to bring to the floor proposals of their own. Already the possibility of legislative action in the House seems more likely than last year when the House did not take action following passage in the Senate of the bipartisan Gang of Eight’s comprehensive reform bill.

The fact that the House would address the issue was then confirmed

by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA-05) who while delivering the official GOP response said, “we’re working on a step-by-step solution to immigration reform by first securing our borders and making sure America will always attract the best, brightest, and hardest working from around the world.”

Also indicating that this would in fact be the year that the House tackles immigration reform was Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI-01) in an interview with NBC Chief Political Correspondent, Chuck Todd. Appearing on Todd’s MSNBC show “the Daily Rundown” the day after the State of the Union, Ryan talked openly about plans to discuss immigration reform at the “House Retreat” and the legislation that was currently being circulated within the conference.

When the statements of McMorris Rodgers and Ryan are coupled with the fact that filing deadlines for primary challengers in a majority of House districts will have been passed later this spring, the prospects of legislation clearing the House this year look promising. It appears now that the only hurdle left to clear will be coming to some sort of an agreement as the two chambers will most certainly have to appoint conferees to hammer out differences between their two respective reform bills.

Chief among these differences will likely be related to the legal status of the 11 million undocumented persons living in the country illegally.

The senate-passed version of the bill provides a pathway to citizenship after a probationary period of up to

13 years. The house version, as indicated by Ryan, will likely allow the 11 million persons the opportunity to stay in the United States legally as residents but not as citizens.

Other differences will likely arise as the bill makes its way through the House in the coming months, but passage of a reform bill is a must as the GOP needs to win back support among Hispanic voters heading into the 2014 midterms and the 2016 presidential cycle.

Addressing the issue also has profound implications for the economy.

With provisions in the senate version that encourage investments in the real-estate market and business startups, visas for highly-skilled workers and their spouses, and a number of short-term seasonal work permits, immigration reform has the potential to jump-start the economy.

In fact, one study conducted by the center-right American Action Forum, found that the passage of a reform bill could translate into a $1,500 increase in per capita GDP and “reduce the cumulative federal deficit by over $2.5 trillion.”

Most importantly however, passing immigration reform is not only the politically and economically smart thing for the House to do, it is also the morally correct thing to do. When we define ourselves as “a land of opportunity” it is important to make sure that there exists a legal framework by which people with a strong work ethic seeking out those opportunities have an avenue to do so. And for those who think this is a departure from the values that the U.S. was built on, remember that it is an idea that has been given a permanent voice through one of the great icons of this nation – the Statue of Liberty. Indeed, there at her base is a bronze plaque with the famous words penned by Emma Lazarus, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

The president smartly didn’t inject himself into the issue on Tuesday and the House in response showed a willingness to advance on the issue not seen since the aftermath of the 2012 election. If things continue and the words of Lazarus are considered, millions could benefit and 2014 could become the year for immigration reform.

Miami’s desserts, muffins, and other breaded goods are made from scratch.

“Sundial Pizza is a huge result of the center’s bakery,” Senior Director for Dining and Culinary Support Services Nancy Heidtman said. “We do different doughs that are pennies to produce but don’t have any preservatives – all natural, and I meant that. It’s made fresh daily, never frozen – really.”

In that respect, Sundial is like many others of its kind, Brubacher said.

“There are very few commercially prepared items that we buy ready-to-serve,” he said. “Like the pizza dough, any pizza you would buy on campus, whether it’s Sundial, Red Brick or a deepdish pizza from Bell Tower – all of those pizzas are made on dough that is made from a specific recipe used at the Culinary Center.”

The preservative-free guarantee extends beyond pizza dough alone. For the produce section of the Culinary Center, Brubacher reiterates the point.

“There are no preservatives in these food items either, anything you would expect to find at a typical salad or fruit bar,” he said.

“We get the shelf life by sucking the air out of the containers – oxygen reduction.”

Every food item that Miami sells has its own produce-by and use-by date, according to Brubacher. Different items are given different time periods.

“For example, deli turkey, or any sandwich meat – ham, roast beef, salami – can last seven days, while some items, such as the fruit and yogurt parfaits, will last only two days before we pull them from the shelves,” Brubacher said. That’s not because they’ve gone bad, but because the quality has been reduced.”

The food service employees use this meticulous level of care with other aspects of their work

as well. When food is delivered, for example, they wash it in a chlorinated bath almost immediately, killing any bacteria that may have been present.

“These products are being packed in a field and trucked here – we can’t put those boxes in our walk-ins,” Heidtman said.

“The chlorinated bath kills all the bacteria, even something like E. Coli.”

Heidtman said she gets alerts on her cell phone for any USDA recalls, so she can know instantly and act fast if something were to happen.

“We don’t buy from any facility that isn’t USDA-approved,” she said.

That goes for all deliveries, even those on a local level.

Take Encounter, the burger restaurant at Maplestreet Station.

The ground beef delivered to Encounter comes from a small farm just six miles away from the Culinary Center.

“He has his farmers inspected, his butcher inspected, even he is inspected by the USDA,” Brubacher said, referring to the owner of the farm.

Encounter is not the only dining option on campus with locally -grown food. In fact, Brubacher said that about 25 percent of the $10 million in annual deliveries is grown, manufactured, or produced in Ohio.

The Miami Food Services employees are constantly adjusting and improving in tandem with the students’ needs.

“We survey our students – in their words – ‘relentlessly,’ Heidtman said. “We have an online system called Miami Expressions, where students can submit any suggestions, and all of them are taken into account.”

Both Brubacher and Heidtman encourage students to use this and other similar resources to reach out to the food services department at Miami. They are both happy to accommodate Miami students’ wants and needs to the best of their abilities, they said.

BASKETBALL BOUNCING BACK AFTER SLOW START

The Miami University men’s basketball team finished last season with a 9-22 record. The RedHawks were in their first year under head coach John Cooper, and they dropped 13 of 16 Mid-American Conference (MAC) games.

If you had asked anyone how they thought the RedHawks would fare this season on Nov. 23, they might have expected 0-31.

On Nov. 23, the Red and White lost to a Division-III opponent, Wilmington College. Granted, Wilmington did shoot nearly 52 percent from behind the arc, but there still is little room for excuses after a loss like that. The loss put the ’Hawks at an 0-4 start to their season Now, before I sound like I’m trash talking my college’s basketball team, let’s take a look at Nov. 24 to present day; the ’Hawks have gone 8-6 (4-3 MAC) since the Wilmington loss.

The RedHawks still have over 10 MAC games remaining, and they already surpassed their conference win total from last year.

In the three MAC games the ’Hawks have dropped, the opposing teams have a combined conference record of 16-4.

This year, the RedHawks have four players averaging nine or more points per contest and redshirt senior forward Will Felder is leading the Red and White with just over 15 points per game.

As a team, the RedHawks are shooting just under 45 percent from the field on the season. As of Jan. 27, that put the Red and White in the top half of the nation in that category, according to

NCAA.com.

As of Jan. 26, the RedHawks are also 24th in the nation in steals per game with 8.4 per game, which means they are stealing the ball more times per game than 93 percent of the teams in Division-I basketball.

The RedHawks hosted the University of Toledo (18-2, 6-1 MAC) Wednesday night and they ultimately fell short, 83-70.

The loss ended a three game MAC winning streak for the ’Hawks (keep in mind they only won three MAC games all of last year).

A 13-point difference may look ugly to the naked eye, but the RedHawks shot an abysmal 1-17 from behind the three point line. If the ’Hawks had shot over 30 percent, they would have won the game.

But as my father likes to say, if if’s and but’s were candy and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas.

That saying doesn’t really make a lot of sense, but the moral of the story is Miami failed to execute in a game against a superior opponent, and excuses cannot be made. It happens, but this determined team is unlikely to let it happen again.

After Miami started their 201314 campaign 0-4, nobody knew how low this team could sink.

The boys in red and white have turned their season around and are one win away from tying last year’s win total with over 10 games remaining.

Through battling back and overcoming adversity, the ’Hawks have surpassed many low expectations and have an opportunity to surprise many teams in the MAC.

Women’s team looks to continue winning streak

BY JORDAN RINARD SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The Miami University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams continue preparing for the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championships in March as they host Eastern Michigan University this weekend. The men’s team (4-2, 0-1 MAC) is coming off a loss against the University at Buffalo while the women’s team (7-1, 4-0) is riding a seven-meet winning streak.

The women’s team for the Eagles (8-3, 4-1 MAC) is on a fivemeet run following a victory over Ball State. Junior Monica Dorszewski claimed victories in the 100 and 200-breaststroke in that meet with times of 1:03.90 and 2:18.46, respectively.

“Eastern Michigan has been really good this year,” women’s head coach Mark Davis said.

“They’ll be a challenge for us…

In this phase of the season, we are going to go faster and taper off to get ready for the conference meets. The theme of the season for us has been somebody different stepping up for us in a meet.

It’s also great to be home after being on the road. We’re working on race speed this week, and we’re

emphasizing perfect practice, focusing on the little details.”

In their previous meet against Buffalo, senior Nikki Craft picked up wins in the one-meter and three-meter dives, junior Katie Bootsma earned a victory in the 200-backstroke, freshman Kathleen Dodson placed first in the 200-butterfly and freshman Stephanie LeMire took first place in the 200-breaststroke.

“We’re working on our speed this week,” freshman Stephanie Pearce said. “Going fast is fun and exciting for us. It’s getting us ready to go this weekend with the change of pace. This weekend, we’re hoping to have good races and times and work as a team and have energy and fun.”

Eastern Michigan’s men’s squad (6-1, 2-0 MAC) is on a six-meet winning streak with its most recent win coming over Ball State University. In that meet, the Eagles had a 1-2-3 sweep in four different events. Eagles sophomore Andrew Henry was named MAC Swimmer of the Week after winning all of his events against the Cardinals and Wayne State University.

The RedHawks host the Eagles 1 p.m. Saturday in the Nixon Aquatic Center.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

RedHawks no match for Rockets in defeat

BEN TAYLOR THE MIAMI STUDENT

Miami redshirt senior forward Bill Edwards drives to the lane for a layup for two of his six points in Miami’s 83-70 loss against Toledo Wednesday. Edwards has averaged 9.7 points per game in the six games he has played in this season. Edwards missed the start of this season and most of last season with a knee injury.

BY ZACH MACIASZEK FOR THE MIAMI STUDENT

The Miami University men’s basketball team (8-10, 4-3 MAC) was undone by a toxic combination of poor three point shooting and rebounding, losing to the University of Toledo (18-2, 6-1 MAC) 83-70.

Head coach John Cooper said he thought the RedHawks did not play with the sense of urgency required to beat the current Mid-American Conference (MAC) leader.

“I thought we came ready to play,” Cooper said. “Our capacity to get there just wasn’t where it needed to be.”

Cooper said heading into the game he was concerned the undersized RedHawks would have trouble combatting the length of the Rockets. His concerns would prove to be legitimate, as the ’Hawks were outmuscled on the glass by a 44-26 margin, surrendering 16 offensive boards.

“At times our size really bothers us,” Cooper said. “You look at Toledo and the ability to throw the ball into [sophomore center Nathan] Boothe is huge, and not that he has to score. His size draws attention. And so, for us, we’re not the biggest team so we go down and double.”

MU was just as unlucky from

three-point range, as they converted only one of their 17 attempts from deep. Overall, Miami shot 41.5 percent from the field while Toledo shot at a 55 percent clip.

Sophomore guard Geovonie McKnight led the RedHawks in scoring with a career-high 18 points and four steals. Senior guard Quinten Rollins also played well, contributing 14 points to go along with five boards and four assists.

McKnight attributed Miami’s poor shooting to simply not converting open shots.

“The second half they kind of sank bank in the paint and we had a lot of open shots that we just didn’t knock down,” McKnight said.

Boothe accounted for 14 points, part of a balanced scoring effort for the Rockets that saw four players reach double figures.

Junior guard Justin Drummond also chipped in with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

The RedHawks were able to keep pace with the Rockets in a frenetic first half despite being outrebounded 21-15 and not converting a single three-point attempt. Miami entered the locker room down 37-33.

McKnight led the RedHawks in the first half with 10 points. McKnight provided the best highlight

of the opening period, forcing a steal and soaring down the court for an uncontested one-handed slam with 1:06 remaining.

Sophomore guard Willie Moore sparked the team off the bench in the opening period with an attacking mentality, driving the lane and finishing with several acrobatic layups en route to seven first half points. Moore started the second half in place of freshman forward Josh Oswald, but a quick foul in the opening minute forced him to the bench and disrupted his rhythm. He did not score for the rest of the game.

Toledo sprung out of the gate in the second half, embarking on a 6-0 run which forced Miami to call a timeout with 17:53 remaining. The Rockets largely controlled the game from that point on, maintaining a double digit lead for the rest of the way.

Toledo shot 64 percent in the second half.

Cooper said this loss will ultimately help the ’Hawks in the long run.

“We’re coming,” Cooper said.

“We’re getting there. We’ve got a ways to go but this is good for this group. You need to experience this and understand what this feels like. Understand what the moment is all about – that’s one of the steps to continuing to grow.”

Wright doing what he loves: coaching

BY JUSTIN MASKULINSKI SENIOR STAFF WRITER

We live in a world that is heavily influenced by sports. Whether it be children playing a pickup game at the park, or professionals duking it out for millions of dollars. Many people grow up loving sports, but few get to make a career out of it.

Miami University women’s basketball coach Cleve Wright is doing just that.

Wright’s love for basketball began at an early age.

“My earliest memory [of playing basketball] was in fourth grade,” Wright said. “I remember playing in my driveway and dribbling a lot and then playing in the YMCA leagues.”

Wright cycled around just about every position while playing high school basketball and he later attended Berea College in Ky., where he was a two-sport

athlete; on the basketball court and on the track. Wright graduated from Berea in 1989, and it was there he realized he wanted to become a coach.

“I was actually playing basketball at Berea College and I wasn’t getting a whole lot of playing time,” Wright said. “When I had been asked to be the assistant women’s basketball coach I had never thought about coaching women. I knew I loved coaching CLEVE WRIGHT and I really enjoyed the opportu- PHOTO BY MIAMI UNIVERSITY nity to do that in college.”

After graduating from Berea, 11 years and posted a record of Wright was a graduate assistant 233-100, including a trip to the coach at Ball State University, Division-II Final Four in the where he earned his Master’s De- 2009-10 season. gree in Athletic Administration in “Gannon was my first head 1992.
