COMMUNITY

Students volunteer as mentors for Frost MusicReach Program offers lessons to low-income communities It’s exactly the outcome we wanted. We’re very happy to have gotten there without a strike and without more anguish for the university community as a whole.

BY ASHLEY MCBRIDE SENIOR NEWS WRITER

The Frost School of Music may have some of its youngest Mozarts in the Frost MusicReach program.

Frost MusicReach gives kids in lowincome communities, such as Coconut Grove and Overtown, the opportunity to appreciate and be exposed to musical instruments. Children learn about all kinds of music genres from classical and jazz to bluegrass.

Cassandra Eisenreich, the program and outreach coordinator for Frost, oversees the 12 different programs in Frost MusicReach. She stresses the importance of not only teaching the children music, but also instilling valuable skills and lifelong lessons that they can use in other aspects of their lives.

Simon Evnine, Associate professor of philosophy

“We’re not just shaping them to be musicians, but to be productive human beings, and using music as the vehicle to do so,” she said. “We’re teaching them all of the life skills that they need, and all of those skills can be taught through music.”

Eisenreich also advises more than 40 graduate and undergraduate teaching mentors that volunteer for MusicReach.

Cassandra Davenport, a teaching assis-

tant who participates in MusicReach, works at the Coconut Grove site.

“I really believe in nurturing and fostering new teachers and encouraging them to get involved in the community and showing them how important these experiences are for the teaching profession,” Davenport said.

The teachers do not have to be certified music educators. Many of the graduate students have advanced degrees and experience in teaching, so they are able to mentor the undergraduate students that do not have much experience as well.

Agarita Palavicini, another teaching assistant, has been teaching music to the same group of high school students for two years.

“There’s a difference in how the students are and how they are acting,” Palavicini said. “They now have a respect and a reverence for music that they did not have before.”

Andrew Krumholz, who is studying for his master’s degree in music, teaches

at Ludlam Elementary School in South Miami. He also notices the difference in the students and how excited they are to learn.

“The classes in a way are an escape,” he said. “These kids really feel connected to us as the teachers. They can be expressive, and they don’t have to think about all the other things in their lives.”

FOR MORE INFORMATION Frost MusicReach collaborates with the Greater Miami Youth Symphony to provide instruction for seventh graders throughout MiamiDade County.

Freshman music majors mentor kids for four years.

CRIME AND SAFETY

UMPD releases annual security report Report details violations on campus

BY ASHLEY MARTINEZ ASSISTANT EDITOR

In 2012, there were 306 discipline cases for liquor law violations and 119 drug violations at the Coral Gables campus, meaning there are 17 times more liquor violations than burglaries.

These numbers paint a picture of the Annual Security Report, which was released by the University of Miami Police Department (UMPD) to the university and is available to the public every year.

A liquor law violation occurs when anyone below 21 is drinking alcohol or is suspected to have been drinking, despite not being caught possessing alcohol. In 2011, the Coral Gables campus had 196 violations.

In comparison, the report noted that in 2012 there were three forcible sex offenses, one robbery, zero aggravated assaults, two motor vehicle thefts and 18 burglaries.

According to David Rivero, chief of police of the UMPD, in the six years he has been at UM, the numbers in the drug and liquor law violations categories have fluctuated every year.

“I think it has to do with the class of folks that we get that come in,” he said.

“I’ve been here where we’ve had a freshman class that has been incredibly adventurous, to say the least and then we’ve had some classes that have come in that have given us no problems, so it just is based on the class of individuals and the luck of the draw.”

The university promotes its educational programs like Alcohol Edu by tabling, handing out pamphlets, sending emails and using social media. Alcohol Edu is an online alcohol prevention program that firstyear students are required to complete during their first semester.

“It’s good in the purpose behind it and the mission of it I agree with,” freshman Alexis McDonald said. “I’m just a student, and I’d rather not spend my summer doing that. But I get the purpose. I respect it. I’m just biased because it’s over the summer, and you don’t want to dedicate your time to doing it, but it was very informative.”

The number of liquor law violations went down the same year when Alcohol Edu was implemented in 2011. Pier21, the Prevention, Intervention, Education and Referral organization that works with the program, was unavailable for comment at the time of publication.

The drug violations also reported significantly higher numbers with 37 arrests and 82 discipline cases in 2012, 77 arrests and 147 disciplines cases in 2011.

Residential assistants (RA) are not allowed to handle any situations involving drugs, but instead call the area director on duty or UMPD, according to a residential assistant working in Stanford Residential College who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

If there is a problem with a student returning to the residential college visibly drunk, then general security will call the RA on duty if the student cannot get into the building. The RA will then analyze the situation and determine who to contact because generally if security calls, the student is in need of medical attention, the Stanford RA said.

And, if an RA or another student reports an incident to the police, then the police will arrive and assess the student based on a color system. Green means the student is a little drunk but still capable of normal functions. Orange means the student is borderline, and UMPD will then call the fire rescue to determine if the student can return to their dorm or should be taken to the hospital. Red would go straight to the hospital to avoid the chance of someone dying of alcohol poison.

After each incident, UMPD is required to refer the student to the Dean of Students office for further disciplinary action.

Considering the nearest geographical university, Florida International Universi-

ty had three alcohol-related arrests and 188 referrals, 85 drug arrests and 49 referral in 2012.

“We have more students living on campus than they do, and maybe we enforce it better than they do, that could also be a factor,” Rivero said. “You either go to jail, or you enter a program at the university.”

CAMPUS LIFE

SG to determine benefits of fall break extension Counseling Center to determine break’s success

BY MEGAN MCCRINK SENIOR NEWS WRITER

Students will embark on the firstever two-day fall break this semester, taking place from Thursday to Sunday.

Student Government’s (SG) Senate passed a bill stating that students wanted a longer fall break and Thanksgiving break. Fall break used to just be one day, and the Thanksgiving holiday was only two days – the Thanksgiving Thursday and the day after.

A committee made up of SG, the Faculty Senate and the University of Miami’s Counseling Center was formed last spring to address an extension of this break.

“The Counseling Center had data that showed a significant uptick in the

number of students who went in for counseling during fall break,” said Adam Orshan, SG press secretary. “Because of this data and the changing academic schedule, the committee recommended that fall break be extended.”

According to Ernesto Escoto, director of the Counseling Center, there was an increase in demand for services just last week, with 37 more crisis appointments than usual.

“The main idea behind fall break is for students to truly take a break,” he said. “Chronic levels of stress lead to high levels of cortisone and chronic levels of cortisone can be damaging to the brain.”

Cortisone is a chemical in the brain that is beneficial only in small doses, like when dealing with a fight or f light response, which happens when people get scared, for example.

After the fall break, Student Government plans to evaluate whether the extension was beneficial.

“Student Government will determine the success of extending fall break by talking to students and speaking with the Counseling Center to determine if the extra day is helping students,” Orshan said.

The Counseling Center will keep track of the amount of student appointments to determine whether the extended break was successful.

“We are hoping after fall break we see a sharp decrease in the need for urgent care appointments where students are stressed about academics,” Escoto said.

There are no plans to return to a one-day fall break.

The Counseling Center hopes that the extended fall break will be beneficial to students in several ways.

Oct. 14 - Oct. 23, 2013

“Students that make use of the break are able to stay on top of work, take time off and let their bodies and minds regenerate,” Escoto said. “We need to take a break, that’s why we have weekends.”

Because of the extension, students will have the chance to make the most of their experiences.

Sophomore Andy Stockton plans to travel to New York City with members of the UM chapter of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) for the AES’s annual convention. He believes that this experience would not have been possible without a longer fall break.

“I’m going to the AES Convention to see the latest audio products and toys, see what the future of audio holds, meet a bunch of companies, experience New York and find out what career path I may want to go down,” he said.

HEALTH

Guardrails interns track patients’ health progress Initiative aims to improve health, save money

BY ALEXANDRA KLUMPP CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

A hot and muggy July did not stop people from streaming through the University Center breezeway for free wellness assessments, or guardrails, in graduate student Craig Flanagan’s words.

“The literal definition of a guardrail is a system of prevention to protect people,” he said. “That’s exactly what we’re doing. We put up guardrails instead of having an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.”

The Guardrails Prevention Initiative is an internship program that the School of Education runs and is look-

ing to expand its reach. In collaboration with UHealth, undergraduate and graduate students in the program conduct 10-minute health screenings for adults, said Wesley Smith, a kinesiology professor at the School of Education.

At the end of the patient’s visit, he or she is given a 10-page report on his or her cardiovascular health, muscle health and metabolic health in comparison to their age, Smith said.

“We basically give them a snapshot of the results of their assessment,” said graduate student Emily White, who works with Smith and Flanagan. “The assessment asks patients to perform several simple movements while we test their heart rate.”

This report also includes a list of healthy foods, when they can be con-

sumed and an explanation of the nutritional value of certain foods, according to Smith.

“We give you an eight-week program specific to you with a daily checklist and an aerobic exercise video,” he said. “We tell patients what to change based on their behaviors and provide them with a target weight.”

The program began by assessing nurses. In July, it tackled a bigger group of employees and students by holding screenings on the University of Miami’s three main campuses. Smith, White and Flanagan hope to expand the program’s reach to medical offices and clinics throughout Miami.

The Guardrails want to track a specific group of people five times a year in order to measure their progress and

“JEWS OF NIGERIA”

William Miles, a professor at Northeastern University, will give a lecture on his book “Jews of Nigeria” on Monday from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Miller Center Auditorium in the Merrick Building. The event is cosponsored with UM’s African Studies Program. This lecture is given during Edmund Abaka’s class.

U-STOP DIABETES

To raise awareness of diabetes, the American Diabetes Association presents U-Stop Diabetes on Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the University Center Patio. The event features health screenings, fitness classes, healthy cooking demonstrations by Whole Foods Market, giveaways and music. As many as one in three adults will have diabetes in 2050 if present trends continue, attendees will learn more about the diseases and prevention 4

prove to insurance companies that this program works, according to Chelsea Verduin, a kinesiology student.

“Our biggest belief is if we educate people, we can redirect their behavior,” Flanagan said. “That’s what this whole thing is about and that’s what we’re trying to prove.”

Guardrails ultimately has a goal beyond helping adults to be more healthy.

“By making patients healthier, we could potentially save money for health care providers and their patients,” Smith said.

CLOTHESLINE PROJECT

The UM Counseling Center will sponsor the Clothesline Project (CLP) Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the university green. The CLP is a program that addresses the issue of violence against women, where people may express their emotions by decorating a shirt.

The shirts are then hung on a clothesline that others can view to raise awareness. The Counseling Center invites students to come and view T-shirts created by survivors to tell their stories and send messages of hope. Students may also tell

their stories or write a message on a T-shirt that will be displayed.

T-shirts may be dropped off at the Counseling Center during normal business hours.

WELL CANES

The Well Canes Marketplace has returned to campus, allowing students the chance to support local vendors and enjoy baked goods, artisanal cheeses, local honey, marinades, ceviche and pasta.

Email may be old, but still current When email was invented decades ago, it transformed the way the world communicated: for free and instantly.

Nowadays, text messages and Facebook messages offer the same conveniences, which is why a recent New York Times article suggested that email has become a nearly obsolete form of communication for college students.

For class projects, students often create Facebook groups or start message threads using the social networking site to discuss the assignment and share ideas.

On campus, professors who teach the large immigration reform course, for example, discourage emails. Instead, they require students to like a Facebook page, where class announcements are made and resources are posted.

The same method was employed for the 2012 election class last fall.

Nonetheless, email is a necessary, not antiquated, tool – both in

college and in the business world.

In fact, The Miami Hurricane editorial board came to this conclusion by conducting a virtual discussion through email.

And, University of Miami students seem to agree. In an online poll of 122 visitors to The Miami Hurricane website (see page 6), 63 percent expressed that they don’t think email is an outdated method of communication. Only 7 percent said they never check their email.

Emails can be received and read just as quickly as text messages, since many people check their email on their smartphones. On the other hand, Word Documents can be attached to a Facebook message just as easily as to an email. For that reason, the usefulness of email is not a matter of functionality, but rather a community’s culture created by personal preference.

Facebook has attempted to overtake email – giving its users personalized email addresses and

allowing file transfers. But when it comes down to it, email should be used for professional reasons.

Facebook messaging a boss or text messaging a professor is rarely appropriate. Email removes the social element, focusing on communication for an academic or business purpose and thus increasing productivity.

In college, professors often send out critical email updates about assignments and tests. In the business world, meetings, calendars and requests are all sent by email. And that’s something students should get used to now.

You’ve got mail, students.

This message is marked as urgent: If you aren’t taking full advantage of email during your undergraduate years, you’ll need to embrace it in your future careers.

GOP is responsible for shutdown

I

n crime dramas and in real life, hostage situations usually end poorly for the hostage takers.

Whether they are hauled off in handcuffs or killed in a police shootout, they are the bad guys – plain and simple.

Nonetheless, the Republican Party failed to consider this when ALYSHA KHAN ONLINE EDITOR they took our government hostage.

To drive home this point, Slate. com’s William Saletan drew a thought-provoking parallel between the GOP’s forced shutdown and the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979 under former President Carter.

In 1979, a group of Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy and took more than 50 American citizens.

Over the next 444 days, they would selectively release certain hostages and gradually reduce their demands.

As Saletan points out in his Oct. 7 article, this pattern of events seems incredibly familiar. After shutting down the entire government, the Republican Party is now trying to pass small pieces of legislation to restore certain

functions, like reopening the National Institutes of Health and ensuring pay for troops on active duty.

His main argument is that since the GOP had no right to take the government hostage in the first place, the party can gain almost no favor by narrowing the scope of its forced shutdown. The GOP’s attempt to revive portions of the government has taken the spotlight off the Democratic Party and the Affordable Care Act – the original targets of the shutdown – and onto the GOP itself.

As Jon Favreau wrote in the Daily Beast, there are sizable segments of the Republican coalition that believe no government is better than even a small government.

They believe exposing Washington “as a dysfunctional circus of petty children” will vindicate their philosophy.

However, in this shutdown, the only dysfunctional circus is the Republican Party. Media polling has shown that a majority of Americans blame the GOP. Now all the Democrats needs to do is sit pretty because the GOP is bound to trip over its shoelaces sooner or later.

Keep busy during fall break My first autumn in Miami, I was upset. I wanted changing leaves; I wanted hoodies. I wanted to be able to wear flannel and ugly boots.

Then, for fall break, I visited my sister and her boyfriend in Boston. It was so cold that I felt like I was dying a goosebumpHUNTER WRIGHT SENIOR induced death and wanted to COLUMNIST go back to my heaven in Miami.

As an anemic, small person who prefers tank tops to practicality, I find the cold weather of the upper East Coast horrible. I understand that weather-induced pain is temporary and conquerable, but coldness is like a coma in which you’re still expected to interact with people. In Miami, the weather has never been cruel to me.

So, if you’re staying in town this fall break, lucky you. No complaining. Don’t dwell on the fact that your friends are at home enjoying a momcooked meal, while you’re stuck at the dining hall trying to guess how many hours your chicken spent swimming in salt water. Get up from the loner booth and pack yourself a picnic. Then go sit at a park in the sunshine, in your underwear – because you can. You’ll get a tan rather than hypothermia.

If you’re going on an exotic vacation over break, congratulations on having money. You are the 99 percent of this campus and I absolutely loathe you. I hate your car, too.

If you’re visiting family – in New Jersey, I assume – try not to fight with them. If anyone begins to nag you, just bring up the government shutdown so they can shout about something other than your partying or potential life partner, both of which are cute right now but will be a hot mess in about three years. It’s so pleasant when everyone’s yelling about something that involves the fate of the entire country, rather than just yours.

Also, this fall break, you have two whole days off instead of just one. So on day one, do what you want. Want to go to the beach? You should. Want to go out to clubs? You probably shouldn’t after what happened last time, but OK, try to behave.

On day two, presuming you don’t feel the steady beat of a soggy rum drum pounding in your head, start studying. Your major will determine how many days you need to set aside for not enjoying yourself. Business majors, you’re off the hook; there’s more fun in store for you. But pre-meds?

Why are you even reading the paper? Do you think you have time for this?

When you’re done studying, relax. Catch up with friends. Call grandma. Draw some doodles.

Trim your nails. Whatever you do, just don’t sleep your fall break away. A lot can happen in two days, and settling down is something for 6-year-olds and dead people. At present, you have some adventuring to do.

MORGAN COLEMAN // CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER CULTURAL CLASSICS: Les Freres Dejean and Aroze, who play the Haitian music genre of kompa, play at the Little Haiti Cultural Center during September’s Big Night in Little Haiti event.

BY MARLEE LISKER STAFF WRITER

When it comes to the Miami music and culture scene, nothing’s free. Ultra tickets cost $300 for the weekend; a performance at the Arsht Center can cost $40 or more; even a tour of the Wynwood Art Walk costs $20.

This is a rough reality to face for fans of the arts – especially when they’re broke college students. But for those who still want to have a good time and expand their horizons without breaking the bank, there’s Big Night in Little Haiti.

Big Night in Little Haiti is a cultural event sponsored by the Rhythm

Foundation, a South Florida nonprofit organization. It is held every third Friday of the month from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Little Haiti Cultural Center (LHCC).

The second you walk toward the LHCC’s courtyard, you will be swept up by the energy of the crowd and the music. Starting at 6 p.m., the center is crowded with people of all ages, dancing and eating.

There are several bands and DJs featured during each event. In the past, acts have included notable Haitian bands like Tabou Combo and T-Vice.

Many of the bands play kompa, a Haitian musical style similar to meringue.

Big Night in Little Haiti also provides the opportunity to explore the LHCC. The gallery is open during the event and features a rotating art show. There is a room where kids can go and participate in crafts during the show. Outside, there are vendors selling sorbet and Prestige beer, as well as a station where you can get authentic Haitian cuisine.

Adam Ganuza, the production coordinator for the Rhythm Foundation, explained that he hoped the event will help “fight back against the mal-impression” that surrounds Little Haiti and “get as much mileage as possible” out of the picturesque LHCC. Oct. 14 - Oct. 23, 2013

The women’s tennis team had a productive weekend as host of the University of Miami Invite. They kicked things off with 13 wins on Friday, highlighted by Stephanie Wagner and Brittany Dubins’ doubles victory over a top-25 tandem from Auburn.

The Canes continued their strong play with a dominant 7-1 singles record on Sunday, as Wagner and Lina Lileikite won the orange and green brackets, respectively.

Meanwhile, the Miami men traveled to ITA Regionals in Atlanta. They picked up six singles wins on Saturday.

Competition continues through Tuesday if the Canes can stay alive in the draw.

VOLLEYBALL SAILING SOCCER Six up, six down.

That’s how the Miami volleyball team has handled its opening slate of ACC games.

The Canes (13-3, 6-0 ACC) scored three-set wins over Pittsburgh on Friday and Maryland on Sunday afternoon.

Junior Blair Fuentez tallied 36 assists during the routine 25-22, 25-16, 25-20 victory over the Terrapins. Coach Jose Gandara was pleased with her distribution to several different Miami hitters.

“If you keep things even, they don’t know who is going to get the ball,” Gandara said.

Sunday’s game was dubbed “Dig Pink” in observation of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Hurricanes wore pink garments and sold T-shirts to benefit cancer research.

Miami will be back in action on Wednesday in Tallahassee, Fla. From there the Canes travel to South Bend, Ind., to face Notre Dame.

The UM Sailing Canes were on the water for an in-conference regatta on Saturday. Miami placed fifth in a seven-team competition held at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club.

Eckerd College took first place, followed by South Florida, Florida Gulf Coast and Jacksonville in fourth.

“Considering the intense competition of many varsity sailing teams, we gave it our all out there, battled the increasing chop and wind, and got top finishes in the regatta,” said sophomore Giancarlo Falconi, who is a skipper in UM’s sailing club.

Miami fell short of a third straight win on Sunday, suffering a 3-0 road loss to Syracuse.

The match was in reach at halftime, when neither team had scored. But coach Mary-Frances Monroe thought the Canes came out flat, and failed to execute when Syracuse attacked after the break.

“I’m very disappointed in our performance today,” she said. “We didn’t show up to play in the first half. We came out to play in the second, had several great chances, but didn’t capitalize on them.”

Next up for Miami (8-5, 3-5 ACC) is a home matchup with Maryland at 6 p.m. Thursday.

V, DEAR V

I’ve been on a major dry spell lately. I don’t know what’s going on, I just can’t seem to find someone I like enough to let into my heart. I recently met this guy at a tailgate and he was nice enough but nothing to spark any emotions. What’s wrong with me? Am I just too busy looking for “the one?” What do I do?

Please help!

Sincerely, Pride and Prudeness

This spell is as dry as the Sahara Desert ...

Dear Liz Lemon, You need to get over the idea that you’re going to f ind a Matt Damonshaped astronaut and come back to the real world.

“The One” is a f ictional character created by Disney movies and romantic comedies. He doesn’t exist, and more importantly, he’s not coming to f ind you. Charming is too busy hooking up with the next red-headed hussy in a two-piece to realize that you’re even available – but I digress.

There is no such thing as letting someone “into your heart.” We’re in college – the only heart you should be concerning yourself with is that fake one you had to dissect in biology 101 (I’m clearly not a science major).

Don’t worry about opening up emotionally, this is the time in your life when you’re allowed to make out with strangers and meet new people. Take off the chastity belt and have some fun. Men are attracted to conf idence.

That’s maybe where you’ve gone wrong.

You’re probably giving a vibe that says something along the lines of, “I want to maybe get it in, but f irst I have to f ix my shirt because I don’t like the way I look right now, so please stop staring at me.”

Get over yourself and man up.

Stick your chest out, pop out your booty and go get it. Fraternity men are thirsty and they don’t discriminate.

As far as that boy from the tailgate, if you’re not about it, you’re not about it.

There’s nothing much you can do there.

Go f ind a lonely SAE. V
