And then there were three Candidates for administrative position to visit FAU Karla Bowsher Editor-in-Chief A week from now, the finalists for FAU’s newly created assistant student media director position will be wandering the Boca campus. On July 8, the search committee met to interview the six semifinalists by phone and then narrow them down to three finalists, all of whom will get a daylong on-campus interview:
would fit right in with the current administration, which has lied to the UP staff and unconstitutionally threatened me. Nothing about that can be chocked up to the nature of life in a free society. Especially not when the Society of Professional Journalists, the Student Press Law Center, and professional media outlets have all backed the UP, not the administration. Look for him on the Boca campus on Wednesday, June 28.
Michael Douglas:
Donald Mariutto:
Douglas never registered on my radar in the first place. The first two pages of his resume are nothing but a drawn out, semester-bysemester run-down of the six years he spent as a “visiting instructor” and an “instructor” of broadcasting at Miami’s Florida Memorial University. Despite these details, he’s vague about his actual journalism experience. Although his resume claims he’s been a “freelance journalist” since 1998, it fails to cite the name of any publications he’s worked for during that time. Of course, none of this mattered after his interview. I knew Douglas wasn’t the UP’s guy as soon as he answered one key question. When asked what he knew of current tension between student media and the administration, Douglas replied: “It’s called transition. It’s hard for some people to understand. But that’s the nature of higher ed, and that’s the nature of life.” With an attitude like that, Douglas
Going into his phone interview, Mariutto was my #1 pick. He is one of the most journalistically experienced candidates and came recommended by one of my predecessors, who now works for the Sun Sentinel. Mariutto’s phone interview was a big disappointment, though. He didn’t bother to do his research beforehand. So, he was clueless about FAU’s student media outlets: He had to be told that we have three outlets and what they are. Painting himself as a wallflower who struggles to take a stand didn’t help Mariutto, either. When asked about his weaknesses, he cited his quietness: “I can look back at various times in my career where, if I had, you know, raised my voice a little bit more, we would have gotten a little bit more done.” His ability to talk around a question also disturbed me. When asked if student media should cover Student Government, his first words were: “That’s
a good question.” From there, he went on a tangent about independence and never really answered the question. He’s no longer my #1 pick. Look for him on the Boca campus on Monday, July 26. Lenora “Annie” Hammock: Going into her phone interview, Hammock was probably my secondfavorite semifinalist. After the phone interviews, she’s easily my #1 pick. It’s pretty simple. Her resume cites actual journalism experience going back to 1995 and an impressive collection of journalism awards. It’s also the only semifinalist resume that included clips. During her phone interview, she impressed me simply by not saying anything stupid or that indicated she’d bend over for administration without a fight. What really impressed me, though, was that she was the only semifinalist to actually ask a question during her phone interview. And not only that, she asked her question — which revealed she’s aware of current tension between student media and administration — of students: “There’s obviously been some tension between students and administration, and I wanted to know from the students if they feel like they can have a positive working relationship with whoever is chosen.” Now that’s an informed straightshooter — just my kind of gal. Look for her on the Boca campus on Tuesday, July 27.

Blowing smoke? House of Representatives debates asking students for a second opinion on campuswide tobacco ban
Student Government wants your opinion on something the university may have already decided. In a new bill put forth on July 16 — ironically called “Let the Student’s [sic] Decide” — Boca Governor Allison Gentry proposed polling students in the fall SG election on whether they support FAU becoming smoke as of July 1, 2011. The purpose statement attached to the back of the bill, however, makes this “proposal” sound finalized already: “To promote the health and well-being of our students, visitors, and employees, all Florida Atlantic University facilities will be tobacco-free starting July 1, 2011. Visitors, students, and employees will no longer be able to smoke or use tobacco products on any Florida Atlantic University campus.” Smoke and mirrors If you feel like you’ve been asked about this same exact thing before, you have. The bill cites a student poll taken during the spring 2009 SG election. While the bill gives you percentages from that, though, it doesn’t offer the hard numbers from the two questions: - I support limiting smokers to using designated smoking areas at FAU — 1376 votes - I do not support limiting smokers to using designated smoking areas — 428 votes - I support a smoke-free university — 1172 votes - I do not support a smoke-free university — 634 votes The former policy, dubbed the “Breathe Easy” campaign, went into effect in January. It obviously had more support than the ban — the students who voted supported Breathe Easy 3 to 1, while a complete ban of smoking was only supported 2 to 1. Still, FAU is eager to keep pace with “similar [ban] policy being enforced at eight colleges and universities throughout Florida,” according to the purpose statement. But those numbers only reflect the opinions of roughly 7 percent of the student body, and some House Representatives took issue with that during the debate last Friday.
A truth campaign? Last Friday’s meeting presented an uncommon diversity of viewpoints on the issue: for, against, problems, suggestions. Representative Peter Amirato was the first to speak out against a ban backed by a low-turnout poll: “I don’t really like this, to tell you the truth.” He gave two reasons — one, addicts following the rules would have to trade parking for smoking. “So many people would avoid coming to FAU just because they’re addicted to smoking,” said Amirato. “You’d have to drive 10 minutes to get a smoke and then try to find a parking spot again.” Amirato, a non-smoker, said the designated areas for smoking are fine, but the ban is “extreme” — like the people who he says would vote for it: “Not many people vote in this [SG elections] and the people who will vote are extremists who want to ban smoking.” He suggested that a large marketing campaign would be necessary to validate the poll’s results. Gov. Gentry’s response was true, though it’s not clear whether it helps her case: “Are you aware that more students voted in this poll than people voted to elect any of us to our offices?” Representative Guilherme Massetti agreed with Amirato, and added that “as long as smoking is legal in this country, we should be able to have it at this university.” Guy Murphy, a representative who co-sponsored the bill, said the ban might actually fix the turnout problem — after the fact: “Voter participation is something everybody has complained about,” said Murphy. “People won’t learn until they have something taken away or until they get pissed off. People might become involved just because this passes.” Kevin Stantz asked about enforcement. “How would we enforce a smoke-free campus if we cannot enforce the breathe-easy zones we have now?” The policy statement attached to the bill does address that problem, which the UP has covered before. Starting in January 2012, anyone caught smoking more than once would be entered into an FAU database and fined $10 each time. Dean Hasan thought “this whole bill or resolution is just to follow other schools.”
Representative Boris Bastidas and House Speaker Alan Pollock both agreed that the current policy has made things worse by condensing smoke into designated clusters, but they differed on what to do about it. “These designated smoking areas have concentrated the smoking in certain areas that are heavily traveled,” said Pollock. “But is it really helping keep second-hand smoke away from non-smokers? Before these breathe-easy zones I didn’t notice it, but now I do.” Bastidas said he’d like “going back to the way it was,” while bill co-sponsor Pollock argued for the ban, saying, “You can’t subject other people to an unhealthy lifestyle.” Student Body President Ayden Maher didn’t comment on the issue during the meeting, but told the UP his views while campaigning for office in the spring semester: “I do not support the smoking ban on campus,” but, “I don’t support smoking. I’m not a smoker.” Got a light? Here’s a few additional resources for you guys. FAU periodically offers a free, six-week quitting program, which you can learn more about at www.fau.edu/ today/smoking.php. If you’d like to voice your opinion to Boca Gov. Allison Gentry, you can e-mail her at fau.bocagov@ fau.edu. If you want to go over the heads of SG, the FAU administrative contact for the smoking program would be Wellness Director Rosemary Dunbar, who you can reach at rdunbar@fau.edu.

legos, legos everywhere
Local exhibit displays sculptures created by artist Nathan Sawaya Alyssa Cutter Staff Reporter The opening of The Art of the Brick: Replay was packed with three types of people: old, young and Lego. Kids sporting Lego T-shirts with grandparents or parents in tow mingled with weird human forms made from Legos. “It’s a lot better than last time,” said Eliza Torres, a sophomore fine arts major at New World School of the Arts in Miami. “There are a better variety of pieces, and it’s more personal than last time because there are human forms and pieces.”
These Lego humans range from a couple of feet to life-size and come in a variety of colors. They hang from buildings, beg the world for help or stare inward at their broken and crumbling bodies. According to Nathan Sawaya, who creates these sculptures only out of Legos, none of the pieces in this exhibit have ever been shown in Florida before. “It’s a brand-new show and all new artwork,” said Sawaya. “I hope people get a kick out of it.”
(left) Lego artist Nathan Sawaya attends his own exhibit on June 5 to sign autographs and answer questions from his fans. He also did a “live build” piece, where he constructed a multicolored peace sign. The center was hollow, and with each additional layer, he added glue to solidify the object.
(below) “Hanging on the Edge” stands more than 7 feet tall, featuring a blue Lego person hanging from the side of a tall gray pillar. Sawaya said that the person is hollow inside to lower its weight, but it hangs there completely self-supported.
(center) “Solar System” is Sawaya’s artistic representation of our planets. Each planet is represented by the colors and patterns on its surface area. In the nameplate for the piece, he even added that “Pluto will always be a planet to me, no matter what those International Astronomical Union snobs say.”

Paralympic gold medalist Justin Zook swims backstroke, his strongest stroke. Born with a right leg that didn’t grow, Zook beat the odds to become a two-time Paralympic gold medalist and currently trains at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Complex.

Briana Bramm Staff Reporter For most people, winning gold medals in two consecutive Olympic games would be the accomplishment of a lifetime, but for Justin Zook, that achievement started with simply learning how to walk. Though handicapped from birth, Zook has been a force to reckon with in the pool since he was 8, when he won his first of three state championships. “When I was born, my right leg didn’t grow at all, so I had 30-plus surgeries,” said Zook, who started his swimming career at the age of 6. “It was either get in the pool or go to physical therapy every day. I could not get across the pool when I first started.” Growing up in Minnesota, Zook’s life was a cycle of swimming, surgery and healing. Yet through that cycle, he still competed successfully against ablebodied swimmers before the Paralympics came into his life. “Swimming was something to do, and — funny enough — my grades in school were always better when I was swimming,” said Zook. “But because of surgeries, I’d swim for about a year, then I’d be out of the water for a while, so I’d keep going through the same cycle. “Paralympics didn’t really come into my life until I was 11, and even then, it was just kind of there. I wasn’t really paying attention to it. [In] able-bodied swimming I was still All-American in high school, so I didn’t really need [Paralympic swimming].” Zook started swimming in Paralympic events after a coach from Canada saw him swim as a child and told his parents about the Paralympic program. At the age of 12, Zook competed in his first major Paralympic event, the Paralympic World Championships in New Zealand. Although he was 5 years younger than the rest of the competition, he still walked away in the top eight of some of his events. This success paved the way for Zook to begin his Paralympic swimming career. “We would have to argue with him to get out of the pool,” said Zook’s mother, Jeanine. “His leg would be spasming and he would be shaking with pain, but he would still want to get back in the pool.”
sports
Against the odds His dedication paid off, as Zook has been to three Olympic games on the Paralympic team. In the first one, he was an alternate in Sydney before getting food poisoning and not making the qualifying round. “Honestly, it was one of those experiences where it almost made me try a little bit harder,” said Zook. Trying harder paid off, as Zook went on to win the gold medal in the 100-meter backstroke in both Athens in 2004 and Beijing in 2008 for the Paralympic team. Because he swam during his undergraduate years at Springfield College in Massachusetts, Zook lost his college swimming eligibility, since a student athlete is only allowed to participate in college sports for four years. Zook now trains at the Fort Lauderdale Aquatics Center under coach Marty Hendricks. “I think of Justin as a swimmer, and I look at him and compare him to others as a swimmer,” said Hendricks. “You completely forget the disability, especially when you see him in the pool with very fast swimmers. All of a sudden he is just a swimmer. “When he does have set backs, he just makes me aware of them, and I’m thinking I need to treat him differently, and then you realize he doesn’t need to be treated differently at all. That was the challenge, how do you train somebody that is a gold medalist, world record holder in the Paralympics? And the answer to the question is actually quite simple: like any other elite swimmer, because that’s what he is.” Besides being impressed with Zook’s swimming ability, Hendrick is equally impressed with his swimmer’s lack of complaining. “The boy never complains. What he’s able to do in the water is amazing, and yet he never complains. Ever,” said Hendricks. “Although he’s technically disabled, he never plays that card, he never complains.” “My parents kind of had the attitude that the more I complained, the worse it was going to be, so I learned
to not complain,” said Zook. “The funny thing is, I’ll complain about the little things and not the things I really should. Like, I’m missing half my right foot, and I’ll make jokes about something like that, then complain about something stupid, like, ‘Oh, my arm hurts,’ or something.” Not complaining about surgeries becomes more impressive with the fact that after each surgery, not only does Zook have to readjust his swim style, like his kicking and flip turns in the pool, but also has to relearn how to walk with a longer leg as his doctors work to make both his legs the same length. Zook had his leg lengthened another 2 inches last January with a surgery that consists of doctors breaking his leg, stretching it out with a halo device, and then letting the bone fill in the gap like a normal break would heal. To lengthen his leg again this winter, that process will be repeated. “Currently I have a titanium rod and four pins in the lower half of my right leg, so that’s going to have to come out,” said Zook of the process that needs to be taken before the lengthening procedure can occur. “I’m going back home [to Minnesota] to have the surgery because my doctor back home has done every single surgery I’ve had done.” When he was younger, the doctors actually gave Zook the option to either amputate his leg, or go through the complicated surgery process that would get him to where he is today. The doctors also originally thought that he would need “several surgeries” to fix the leg, but nowhere near the 30-plus that he’s had. “They told me I wasn’t going to need that many surgeries,” said Zook. “Thirty was a lot more than what they originally told me, so it was a bit of a shocker.” As a child, there was a laundry list of disabilities Zook was supposed to have. Miraculously, he ended up having none of them.
“I wasn’t supposed to be able to walk, I was supposed to need glasses when I was little,” said Zook. “I was supposed to have a learning disability – [it] didn’t happen. I got a 4.0 last semester and graduated with honors. Definitely wasn’t supposed to be able to play a sport. When I was really little the list of things that could have been wrong with me was so endless. [The doctors] told [my parents] I’d be lucky to live past a year, basically.” Zook thanks his parents’ dedication for helping to get him to where he is today, a dedication that includes continually driving him to the doctor, and making it to nearly every one of his swim meets as he grew up. “I think my parents have only missed a total of maybe like four or five swim meets in my entire life, not counting college,” said Zook. “My parents probably deserve a lot more credit than I give them sometimes. They both worked full time and took care of me. “It was nice to have parents who were supportive of everything, and friends especially, who understood it wasn’t always going to be easy.” But while swimming was once his number one focus and a large part of his life, it has now taken something of a backseat. “Honestly, swimming used to be priority number one, and it’s not anymore,” said Zook. Swimming for so long has started to take its toll on Zook, especially his a rms — he doesn’t kick much with his right leg since it lacks the power to propel him through the water. “When I was like 8, I used to swim two-and-ahalf hours a day, and because you’re that little, your shoulders take a beating,” said Zook. While swimming is his passion, it’s not his only identity. Zook plans on finishing his MBA at FAU. He then hopes to move to Australia, where he wants to find a coaching job and enjoy some time out of the country.

FAU grad student and world-class paralympic swimmer overcomes obstacles in and out of the pool
entertainment
A day that’s worth it FAU grad creates local music and art festival Mark Gibson Staff Reporter
On May 16, grad student Cecil Lunsford was at his Lake Worth home, drinking beer and hanging out with friends, when he had a vision. Two weeks later, the first annual Lake Worth IT festival was born. Lunsford and his company, Shaman Stick Productions Inc., decided to organize a one-day concert exclusively for local music. On August 7 at Bryant Park, with 21 up-and-coming local bands scheduled to play an all-day concert, you could be witness to history in the making. At first, he booked only 10 bands, but since Shaman Stick

is responsible for putting on local concerts all across Florida, news of the concert spread widely by word of mouth. Before he knew it, his inbox was overflowing with inquiries from local acts who wanted to play. “This isn’t just some local-yokel music festival,� he said. “It’s important to remember that the Beatles were once a local band too.� Lunsford currently works in the philosophy department at FAU as a teaching assistant. His band, Black Weather Shaman, will join other bands that feature FAU members like The People Upstairs, Everymen and Bladesong. Headlining the event is Lake Worth native Kevin Barnes, a singer for indie band Of Montreal. The People Upstairs are a funk-reggae band whose five members attend FAU. They were one of the first bands Lunsford came to with his plan. “I thought [Lunsford] was crazy,� said Casey Buckley, a senior psychobiology major and lead singer for The People Upstairs. “I am really impressed with how much work he

‘Different viewpoints’ Karla Bowsher Editor-in-Chief FAU’s trustees work in fields as varied as medicine, academia, real estate, and hospitality. The latest arrivals to the Board of Trustees (BOT), appointed by Gov. Charlie Crist in March and approved by the Florida Senate in April, work in the insurance and finance industries.
Their backgrounds are very different, but both joined the BOT to get more involved with the university and help it grow and improve. “They saw the potential that’s been sitting in their backyard,” said Student Body President Ayden Maher, who himself became a trustee after he was elected last semester. Jeffrey Feingold is brand-new to FAU, while Trustee Robert “Bob” Rubin has several ties to the
university. Feingold provides dental insurance, while Rubin provides financial advice. Their differences only strengthen the board as a whole, however. “I think that’s actually an advantage of the way the board is appointed,” explained Rubin. “You have different people getting appointed for different reasons to the board, thereby bringing different viewpoints, which I think is very healthy.”
He opened his own periodontal practice in 1975. Feingold no longer practices, but he now owns a network of seven dental offices that stretches from Central Florida to Miami-Dade County. In the 1990s, he also founded MCNA Dental Plans, which offers dental insurance to individuals who might not otherwise be able to obtain it. “The big companies weren’t interested in insuring small groups or [individuals], so with that initiative, we filed for our license to operate,” he explained. “We’re sort of innovative, taking huge initiatives, taking care of basically the underserved populations of the country.” In addition to his companies, Feingold was also involved with several universities before getting involved at FAU. He’s served on the executive board of
Tulane Associates, an organization that fundraises for Tulane University. He’s served on boards of New York University’s College of Dentistry and School of Business. He was also vice chairman of the parents council at Columbia University, which one of his children attended. In addition to the three biggest goals he hopes to see achieved during his term as an FAU trustee, Feingold also hopes to see more students get involved like he was. “Just don’t be a passerby. Don’t go to college to pass through,” he said. “The more you put in, the more you get Jeffrey P. Feingold out.”
Jeffrey P. Feingold Trustee Feingold is new to FAU, but he’s already called it “the best-kept secret in Palm Beach County.” His attitude toward education is exactly why he applied to join the Board of Trustees. “To me, I’ve always believed in higher education,” he told the UP. “When I was at Tulane, I was very much involved with student government. I made Who’s Who for my involvement on campus. I believed whole-heartedly in higher education to advance somebody.” After earning his bachelor’s degree, Feingold went on to earn two more degrees and become a boardcertified periodontist, meaning he specialized in the care of the gums and other structures that support the teeth.
New additions bring new perspectives

His background in brief His goals • Term as a trustee: March 2010 to January 2015 • Lives in: Delray Beach • Degree: B.A. in psychology; doctorate in dental surgery; M.S. in dentistry (periodontics)
Trustee Feingold has three main goals for his term: 1) Improve FAU’s retention rate
• Alma mater: Tulane University; New York University; Fairleigh Dickinson University
Feingold noted at a June BOT meeting that almost 25 percent of students drop out of FAU after their freshman year. “I think that we should have targets much higher,” he said. “The retention rate’s important because no one wants to go to college to drop out.”
• Previous occupation: periodontist
2) Increase donations
• Current occupation: founder and president of MCNA Dental Plans, a Broward-based dental insurance company; founder and president of Dentaland Dental Centers, a network of seven dentistry offices
Only 1.6 percent of FAU’s alumni donate money to the university, which is the lowest rate of any of Florida’s 11 public universities, according to an April Sun Sentinel article. Feingold wants to see that rate “significantly improved,” he said at a June meeting. “It’s a huge opportunity for the school to grow.”

3) Prioritize research “Another goal of mine is to see this university be a first-rate research university with great graduate programs,” said Feingold.
Robert S. Rubin
His background in brief
His goals
• Term as a trustee: March 2010 to January 2015 • Lives in: Boca Raton
Trustee Rubin currently has one main goal for his term, but he expects that accomplishing it will improve multiple aspects of FAU at once:
• Degree: B.A. in finance
1) Getting the word out
• Alma mater: University of South Florida
“Probably my biggest frustration about the school is all the great things that are going on on campus that the average person in the community doesn’t know about,” Rubin said. “So, we have to get the word out on how great a university it really is.” Rubin stresses getting the word out because improving communication would benefit FAU in multiple ways. As he put it, “The reason why that’s so important is it would help attract better students that would apply. It attracts money, it attracts donations, it attracts participation, whether it’s lifelong learning, whether it’s people going to the games, whether it’s performances students put on.”
• Previous occupation: regional manager for Principal Financial Group; estate planning specialist and business insurance specialist for Solomon Smith Barney; estate planning specialist and senior vice president for Wachovia • Current occupation: founder and president of Rubin Wealth Advisers, a Boca-based wealth management firm

Trustee Jeffrey Feingold (left), seated next to Student Body President and University Trustee Ayden Maher, speaks about FAU’s retention rate at the June 9 Board of Trustees meeting. He said the rate needs to be “significantly improved.”
Board of what? The Board of Trustees governs FAU. From tuition hikes to stadium plans, they make all of the biggest decisions on behalf of students, faculty and staff. The board comprises thirteen members. The student body president and the faculty senate president serve as trustees. Another six trustees are appointed by the governor of Florida. The other five are appointed by the Board of Governors, which oversees all of Florida’s public universities. To learn more about the Board of Trustees, visit www.fau.edu/bot.

Trustee Rubin has been connected to FAU since the mid-1990s. His oldest son was diagnosed with autism by FAU’s Center for Autism and Related Disabilities and has been going there for about 15 years. When Rubin wanted to get more involved with the university about three years ago, he joined the Board of Directors for the Florida Atlantic University Foundation, which helps raise money for the university. After joining the foundation, he decided to increase his involvement by joining the Board of Trustees as well. “I’ve developed an affinity for the school,” Rubin told the UP. He has even attended Owls football games. His brother as well as his company’s investment assistant, recent graduate Nicole Cerny, are both FAU alumni, though Rubin himself graduated from
