In 1910, The Miami Student reported that a robbery had occurred in Herron Gymnasium. The story began: “Last night there occurred within the limits of our city one of the most daring robberies recorded in all the annals of crime. The crime was so ingeniously conceived and withal so skillfully executed that the whole affair is a Chinese puzzle to the police. It is not the question of who the perpetrator of the act is that baffles the authorities, but a question of where he is.”

FSB announces interim dean for spring semester

By Margeaux Leakas For The Miami Student

Roger Jenkins, dean of the Miami University Farmer School of Business (FSB) announced his retirement at the end of August. In the month since, the university has appointed associate provost Ray Gorman to take over as the interim dean.

Gorman has been at the university for over 25 years and is very familiar with FSB and the faculty, students and staff, according to Kirk Bogard, assistant dean of external relations in FSB. Gorman said he is grateful for the opportunity to step in as interim dean.

“I am honored to be chosen for the position and gratified by the notes of support I’ve received since the announcement of my appointment,” Gorman said.

Gorman said he plans to keep moving forward on the Farmer School’s strategic initiatives, especially with several curricular revisions that are being conducted.

Bogard said he feels that Gorman was a great choice for the interim dean.

“He has an appreciation for the university and he has a strong established record,” Bogard said.

A search committee has also been appointed to look for a new dean, and Carine Feyten, dean of the school of education, health and society, has been selected as chair.

“Being on the committee is a huge amount of work,” Feyten said. “We have to get the committee together, meet with the [professional search] firm, and meet many candidates. I am honored that I have such an important role,” Feyten said.

Feyten said that a professional firm will help the committee comb through possible dean choices.

“If you put an ad out, you will just get someone who wants a job,” Feyten said. “The good people aren’t necessarily looking for a job.”

The search firm will bring a strong candidate pool to the table to help find the top-notch candidate. The committee is hoping to find a dean to take over by the fall semester of 2013. The search committee has yet to meet with the search firm, but following the initial meeting they will be working with a very aggressive timeline, Feyten said.

Senior finance major Carl

Aschinger said he is looking forward to Ray Gorman becoming the interim dean.

“Mr. Gorman has a large amount of published articles in major mediums, so he is respected by his associates here, as well as by people all over the world,” Aschinger said. “I am excited to learn from someone who has been given so much respect.”

But some students are still focused on Jenkins’ retirement. Sophomore marketing major Carley Powell, said she believes that even though Jenkins chose to retire following his voluntary return of $1.25 million in independent consulting fees from Minn. businessman Thomas Petters, he is still a great role model to FSB students, and a brilliant man.

“I think this experience has educational value, but I also think it affects the unity within students and their ability to trust in the higher powers,” said Powell.

Gorman said he is excited about this opportunity moving forward.

“I am looking forward to re-engaging with the students, faculty and staff of the Farmer School along with other stakeholders,” he said.

Forum brings intellectual debate to MU

By Max Manzone For The Miami Student

Coming to Miami University late January or early February, the Janus Forum will bring in speakers to debate and discuss important core platform issues relevant to the future of the United States policy making. The first question that will be discussed in the forum will be ‘Is democracy working in America?’

The question was formulated and chosen by students who have helped this fall in building the structure of the event and worked to bring it to campus.

The Janus Forum, established at Brown University, will be coming to Miami University’s campus in the period immediately after the state of the union address as a strategy to draw greater student involvement.

Each speaker will have 20 minutes to discuss his or her viewpoint and then the students will have a period to question both speakers.

The Janus Forum will allow students to shape their views with clarity.”

Sinclair recently traveled to Brown along with Eric Buller, director of the Wilks Leadership Institute and three other students, to learn more about the Janus

Forum and what it can offer to students on Miami’s campus.

“It will be a place for members of the campus community to come together and discuss opposing views freely and passionately,” Sinclair said. “We provide a forum where students can explore the multitude of views that exist and arrive at their opinion knowing not only what they believe, but why they believe it.”

Although Buller and the political science department will provide logistical and administrative support, the leaders of prominent campus organizations will spearhead the program’s organization.

“It will encompass a broad spectrum of student groups, not those solely linked to political issues.” Buller said. “The Janus Forum will provide a venue for

Miami extends streak to 7 games, longest of year

By Win Braswell Staff Writer

Facing its toughest tests of the season the Miami University soccer team notched two more wins, extending its winning streak to seven games.

The Red and White blanked Western Michigan University 3-0 and edged Eastern Michigan University 4-3. Miami is now 12-2 and is 6-0 in Mid-American Conference (MAC) play.

Despite the RedHawks’ 3-0 victory Friday, the game was a battle from start to finish. Western Michigan had a size advantage over Miami and made the game physical from the start, challenging Miami with hard tackles and back and forth pushing and shoving. The ’Hawks also battled strong crosswinds most of the game, making for sloppy play and lots of missed opportunities.

“I was happy with how the game started, but when the weather changed it changed the way we played,” Head Coach Bobby Kramig said. “We stopped putting the ball to our feet and let the ball stay in the air too long.

That’s not really our game, even in good conditions.”

Miami struck first in the seventh minute when freshman forward Haley Walter scored on a strike from the top of the box off an assist by junior forward Kayla Zakrzewski.

“What we wanted to do by getting that first goal is to get them to come out and not be as

defensive as they were,” Kramig said. “It was important to score first. We wanted to avoid being behind like we’ve been at times this year. We accomplished our goal of getting them to come out of goal and it opened things up for us.”

The RedHawks kept up the offensive intensity but failed to score again in the first half. But just 11 minutes into the second half, they doubled their lead on another Zakrzewski assist to freshman forward Morgan Beck off a cross four feet in front of goal. Beck’s goal was the first of her collegiate career.

“It was amazing to be in such a hard fought game,” Beck said.

“These are the best games to play, because everyone is so hyped up and excited to play for each other.

I think my first goal was great because it came from a team effort, so I’m really happy about that.”

Miami put things out of reach in the 87th minute when Zakrzewski took a pass from junior forward Katy Dolesh and drilled it in on a sliding effort. Zakrzewski came into the game tied with teammate Walter for first in the MAC with six assists. After Friday’s match, she led the conference at eight.

“In the second half, we came out and did everything we talked about at halftime,” Zakrzewski said. “Bobby always talks about getting past people and creating

Student remains in critical condition after OPD accident A Miami University male student is in intensive care after being struck by an Oxford Police Department (OPD) cruiser.

Around 12:53 a.m. Saturday, an OPD cruiser struck a male Miami University student at the corner of Spring Street and College Avenue, according to OPD. OPD Sgt. Robinson was traveling eastbound on Spring Street when the victim and his cousin walked into the crosswalk, according to Sgt. Wickman of the Hamilton post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The traffic light was green and the streets were wet due to heavy rain.

“His cousin saw the green light and seconds later he saw the headlights,” Wickman said.

“He stopped, but before he could warn his cousin, his cousin took two more steps and got hit.”

According to the only official press release from OPD, the Oxford Life Squad transported the

student to McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital. After evaluation, he was transferred via CareFlight Air and Mobile Services to Miami Valley Hospital.

Initially, there was conflicting information regarding the incident. A report on Cincinnati.com said the student had died. According to Claire Wagner, associate director of Miami University communications, the student had surgery and is in critical condition in the Miami Valley Hospital.

A member of the Miami University Office of Student Affairs visited with the student and his family on Saturday, according to Wagner. Susan Mosley-Howard, dean of students, planned to visit on Sunday, Wagner said.

“We value all our students and we are all concerned for his health,” Wagner said.

’Hawks mark 40 years of gender equality

By Libby Mueller Senior Staff Writer

Forty years ago, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 changed the face of athletics as discrimination based on sex was banned from all federally funded education programs and doors across the United States opened to female athletes.

Miami University heralded the 40th anniversary of Title IX this past weekend with its ‘Celebrating 40 Years of Title IX’ event.

The event, sponsored by the Women’s Center and the Department for Intercollegiate Athletics, included a keynote speaker Oct. 5, Nancy Hogshead-Makar, Senior Director of Advocacy for the Women’s Sports Foundation and a three-time gold and silver medalist in swimming in the 1984 Olympics.

The event concluded Oct. 6 with a luncheon at the Marcum Conference Center with distinguished Miami alumnae and athletics staff members.

Title IX prohibits discrimination in the participation and benefits of any

educational program or activity that receives federal financial assistance, and it encompasses public elementary schools, high schools and colleges and universities, according to the Women’s Sports Foundation. In her Oct. 5 lecture, Hogshead-Makar said although Title IX is typically recognized for its role in athletics, it includes a wide span of federally funded education programs, including career education.

She said without Title IX, she would not have had the opportunity to achieve all that she did in swimming. She said women in the generation before her were told it went against femininity to compete in sports and they were denied opportunities. She also said when she was in high school, girls did not compete in college athletics.

“All of a sudden it was like a torch hit the country (referring to the effects of Title IX),” Hogshead-Makar said.

“There were swimming programs all over the country. I had never thought I would swim in college and I can say if it had not been for this statute,

I would never have gotten to swim in college.”

She went on to tie for her first gold medal in the Olympics.

Hogshead-Makar said Title IX requires effective accommodation of students’ interests and abilities, equal benefits, opportunities, treatment and equal financial assistance. She said in 1979, the Office for Civil Rights issued a three prong test to ensure that schools were complying with these requirements in athletics.

According to Hogshead-Makar, there are many myths about the implications and consequences of Title IX. For instance, she said it is not true that Title IX harms men, particularly in the area of sports.

“Women’s gains do not come at the expense of men’s,” HogsheadMakar said.

She said there are still 1.3 million more sports opportunities for boys than for girls every year in high school and boys’ participation in sports in high school does not drop as girls’ increases.

She also said boys’ opportunities

Hogshead-Makar also said it is not true that men are denied some sports opportunities in college because of Title IX. She said equal opportunities must be provided to men and

women, but the opportunities can look different. For instance, a university could offer track, rugby and lacrosse to women but offer basketball, football and soccer to men and still be compliant with Title IX.

Front runner grad student paces RedHawk XC team

By Justin Maskulinski For The Miami Student

The Miami University men’s cross country team has finished second in all three meets this year and hope to turn that into a first place finish as the MidAmerican Conference (MAC) Championship and NCAA Championship approaches.

The team has a runner that just might make that possible.

Graduate student Steve Kiplagat is using his fifth year of eligibility to run for the RedHawks and has already left his mark, placing second and fifth in his two meets this year.

Kiplagat moved to the United States in 2008 from Kenya to study economics and math with a minor in computer science at St. Lawrence University in New York, graduating with honors in economics.

However, the move from Kenya was not much of a culture shock for Kiplagat. “[The move] was alright,” Kiplagat said. “It was everything I expected.”

Kiplagat ran cross-country at St. Lawrence, earning All-American honors twice in Division III. “It was a great small school, with class sizes similar to Miami.

I had a great time,” Kiplagat said.

Senior Jarrod Eick is glad Kiplagat chose Miami.

“Steve definitely brings [the team] to the next level,” Eick said.

“It is nice to have two front runners; it improves our depth.”

Head Coach Warren Mandrell said Kiplagat is a great addition to the team. “[Kiplagat] is a front runner and a fast runner; he makes a

Americans may be bringing home less bacon but Miami University students will not have to consume any less of it, according to Jon Brubacher manager of purchasing and operations analysis for Housing, Dining, Recreation and Business Services (HDRBS).

Miami students will still be able to find bacon in the dining halls every morning, according to Brubacher.

“You do not have to worry about not getting bacon on campus,” Brubacher said.

The National Pig Association of the United Kingdom reported in a press release Sept. 20 that there would be a global bacon shortage.

However, recent press has argued a shortage is unlikely.

Meat prices are expected to rise, including beef, pork and chicken, according to Brubacher. Corn is used as a feed for livestock and much of the world’s corn crop was lost due to this summer’s drought.

Food across the board is projected to have a 3 to 4 percent price increase in 2013.

However, according to Brubacher, this will not cause a significant rise in meal plan prices.

“Miami students should not notice any impact, whether it be a shortage or tremendous price increase due to a bacon shortage,” Brubacher said.

The Board of Trustees approved 2.87 percent increase room and board prices for next year, on Sept. 21.

IT Services encourages student use of multiple, unique passwords Freeland Oliverio Senior Staff Writer

Password safety is a practice that is sometimes easily forgotten in a day and age where everything is computerized and requires a password. However, its importance is as relevant as ever.

“Although we haven’t had a major breach that has affected over 100 people since 2005, we normally see about 30 individual Miami accounts compromised per month.” Joe Bazeley, Information Security Officer at Miami University, said.

A compromised Unique ID password can result in grade, account and financial information being stolen, according to Bazely.

However, he offered several easy ways that students can protect their passwords.

“Two of the most common password mistakes students make are having weak passwords and only incrementing them when they need [to be] changed,” Bazeley said.

Bazeley said most students simply choose a normal word, capitalize the first letter and put a number at the end when making their Unique ID password.

This makes it easier to guess someone’s password, according to Bazeley.

“This mistake can easily be prevented by using passwords that don’t spell out actual words and can easily be remembered by the student.” Bazeley said.

For example, Bazeley suggests making a password something like “r3dH@wk11” instead of something simple such as “Redhawk11.”

The most common mistake, however, is using the same password for multiple sites, according to Bazely.

“Then, if someone gets your password at one site, they can log in as you at many different sites. So if you use the same password at Facebook and at Miami, if I get your Facebook password then I can go into your Miami account.” Bazeley said.

This can be prevented by simply coming up with a unique, strong password for each account, whether it be at Miami, on Facebook or on an online bank account.

While these tips on creating a password can protect a student’s account, compromised accounts are often due to preventable circumstances, according to Cathy McVey, senior director for Information Technology communication. “[One example is] if you’re at the library and you login, but walk away,” McVey said. “If you don’t log out before you walk away, anybody can go onto your account. They can use your computer and have access to all your info.”

“Also, one big problem on the internet is ‘Phishing,’” McVey said. “This is where somebody sends an email that claims and looks to be from a trusted source such as Miami University or a students’ bank in order to obtain private account information.”

McVey said neither Miami nor a student’s bank will ever ask for password information. If a student receives an email that asks for such info, the email should be ignored and reported, according to McVey. While students must take an active role in the protection of their passwords and account info, Miami University also takes several steps to protect students, according to Bazeley.

“Miami systems are configured with what we call the 1010-10 rule, which means that if a user account enters 10 wrong passwords within a 10 minute period of time that the account will be locked out for 10 minutes.”

Bazeley said.

This prevents hackers from using systems that guess your password thousands of times per second until it’s discovered.

Additionally, Miami University has a system that automatically disables spam, which protects students from Phishing attacks, according to Bazeley.

Other preventative measures taken by Miami include mandatory password changes and logout times, according to McVey. “We also require students to change their password every 180 days,” McVey said. “Sites such a Niihka and Bannerweb automatically log out after 15 minutes of inactivity to ensure that nobody can get onto your computer if you leave it. However, people can still access your account within that time, so it’s important for students to log out before leaving their computer.”

POLICE Abortion rate decreases in Ohio

BEAT

By Lauren Williams Staff Writer

A new report released by the Ohio Department of Health indicates the abortion rate in Ohio has dropped by 12 percent.

The report compares previous abortion rates and demographic differences in the amount of abortions induced by age, race and county of residence. The report also contains statistics on gestational age, method of termination, prior induced abortions and pregnancies and contraceptive history.

Ohio Department of Health spokesperson Tess Pollock said the report does not contain information on the societal or political implications of the new findings on abortion in Ohio.

“It’s not [the Ohio Department of Health’s] role to provide that

data,” Pollock said. “We don’t really talk to those healthcare providers and ask questions beyond what’s on that reporting page.”

John Paulson, supervisor for the Center for Public Health Statistics & Informatics at the department, said one interesting finding is the difference the report reveals in the type of abortion induced.

“If you pull up both reports on our webpage and compare the methods of termination, you’ll see a big drop in the medical non-surgical abortion,” Paulson said.

Still, Paulson said this report is new and does not answer questions of why the abortion rate has changed.

“We don’t collect a lot of information about why someone got an abortion and the different things that could play into an abortion,” Paulson said.

Sophomore Samantha Bopp, secretary of Miami University Students For Life (MUSFL), said this decrease in the Ohio abortion rate indicates a larger national change in the attitudes towards abortion.

“I think we are becoming a prolife majority in the United States,” Bopp said. “I think just getting the word out there, changing hearts and minds and helping women and children is definitely affecting rates as well.”

In the last MUSFL meeting, Bopp said the group discussed President Barack Obama and Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney’s positions on abortion and the relevance of abortion issues in the upcoming election.

“I think it will be a pretty big issue, especially among religious groups,” Bopp said. “It’s really not focused on as much as it should be.”

STUDENTS GANGNAM STYLE FULLY CHARGED

Senior Justine Furbeck, president of Pro-Choice Miami, said abortion rights groups are happy to hear that abortion rates have gone down in Ohio.

“I’m hoping it’s down 12 percent because people have more access to contraception and are making more informed decisions about whether or not they want to have sex and how to practice safe sex,” Furbeck said.

Furbeck said she hopes the rate has not dropped for negative reasons.

“I’m hoping it’s not because we’ve stigmatized abortion as a choice or have put more restrictions on it at the state level,” Furbeck said.

Pro-Choice Miami and Feminists working for Real Democracy (FWORD) provide information and support to anybody who needs more information on these related issues, according to Furbeck.

This article is part of a series The Miami Student is running about the University Archives. All information in the following article was obtained from the University Archives with the help of University Archivist Bob Schmidt.

Mildred Seltzer (1921-1994) was a teacher, wife, mother, advocate, feminist and the driving force behind the creation of the Miami University gerontology program. Seltzer was also the first woman to receive a Ph.D. from Miami University in 1969.

Seltzer was born and raised in Cleveland before attending Miami where she received her Bachelor’s of Arts in 1942 with a degree in sociology.

Seltzer earned her master’s degree in Chicago in 1944 for Social Services Administration and worked there for the next five years as a children’s services caseworker before returning to her alma mater and, in the 1960s, made her stay in Oxford permanent.

Upon her death in 1994 Seltzer was described as a “doer” in her memorial.

In 1966, Seltzer worked with Bob Atchley, another major contributor to the field of gerontology, to develop the first course in social gerontology. Around this time, she also started work on her Ph.D., with her focus remaining on gerontology.

In addition to becoming the first woman to earn her Ph.D. from Miami, Seltzer was appointed as

PAGE DESIGNERS WANTED

a full time assistant professor of sociology in 1969.

Seltzer helped create the gerontology program’s curriculum and research program, networked with agencies on aging throughout the state of Ohio and was a major factor in the amount of grants the program received in the interest of this program.

When Seltzer wanted something accomplished, she accomplished it. She was a force to be reckoned with.

Seltzer’s memorial also said: “Her energy and capacity to manage several tasks at a time earned her the fond title of ‘white tornado’ among close friends in the administration building.”

When Seltzer became associate provost in 1974, among other roles, she was in charge of the development of the women’s studies program and even had a hand in the creation of the Women’s Center.

She actively and persistently spoke up against sexism and antiSemitism on campus and in the classroom; she served on more committees and held more leadership positions and jobs at one time than anyone ever could be expected to, and Seltzer always stayed true to her passions: gerontology, religion and women’s rights.

Seltzer earned Miami’s highest honor, the Benjamin Harrison Award in 1983 and the Outstanding Miami Woman Award in both 1972 and 1980.

She retired from teaching in 1991 and from her position as Director of Education in 1992, but remained as in her role as Senior Fellow of the Scripps Gerontology Center until her death in November of 1994.

Students who are animal lovers might find it difficult to own a cat or a dog while living in a college town with the restrictions rental companies put on owning pets.

Leases for houses and apartments in Oxford will typically say if a student can own a cat or dog, but each rental company differs when it comes to the policies and the penalties for breaking those rules.

Holly Morrical, property manager of College Property Management, said each property has different pet regulations and it just depends on the owner of the house and whether or not they will allow pets in their house or apartment.

Other factors can play a part in whether properties allow pets or not such as the age of the property and whether the neighbors would approve of the students owning a pet, April Myers, property manager of Uptown N High rentals, said.

If a property does allow cats or dogs it will typically include a pet fee and sometimes a restriction on the weight and breed of dogs, Lorraine Wilson, manager of Oxford Square Apartments, said.

To own a pet in College Property Management, students must pay a $200 non-refundable pet fee for cats and for dogs less than 20 pounds pay a $250 fee and anything over 20 pounds is $500, Morrical said.

Other rental companies, such as Oxford Square Apartments, require a deposit fee of $500 for owning a pet, then $25 each month after that will be added to their deposit, Wilson said.

Students hear about extreme cases when students are evicted for owning a pet, but Wilson said usually this is after they have been caught owning a pet and then refuse to pay the deposit fee.

“We give them the opportunity to go ahead and register it but if they don’t, they get evicted,” she said.

Students who own pets against the rules of their leases is common

among multiple rental companies who say it ranges anywhere from a few properties a year to about 25 percent.

In some cases, regardless of the rules, students will decide to own pets anyway.

Senior Bill York said a few years ago he had a stray cat that he kept in his apartment that his landlord did not know about.

He said he originally took it in for only a few days while he tried to find the cat a home but said he knew realistically none of his friends would be able to take it.

Students who own pets, especially cats, will typically let them go after a year, York said, which has led to the high stray cat population, especially because college towns are less pet-friendly.

“I had to keep it a secret,” he said. “[The landlord] didn’t find out about it but it wasn’t for a lack of trying. I had house showings all the time and I had to stick my kitten in my sweatshirt and run out of the apartment [and hide] her litter box.”

While most students do not go to such extreme lengths to ensure their landlords do not find out about the pets they own, rental companies can find out simply by observing students.

“It’s either we see them come out of the house with a dog on a leash and they’re walking it,” Morrical said. “[Or] if our maintenance man goes over there he’s highly allergic to cats so he can tell right away if there’s a cat there.”

There are sometimes long-term complications in apartments when multiple people in a row own cats, York said, such as cat dander and ventilation.

However, his apartment had no air conditioning and he knew that wouldn’t be a problem for concealing his cat.

Like many students who decide to own pets against the rules their rental companies set in their leases, York said it was risky to keep the cat but he could not get rid of it.

“I got attached to it and decided to keep it indefinitely,” York said.

Rock-reggae band jams at StadiUm Bar

By Claire Krieger Senior Staff Writer

Saturday night, Stadium Bar & Grille was temporarily turned into an aural tropical paradise of sorts.

The weather outside was pretty darn cold, but the atmosphere inside of Stadium was warm and relaxed. A performance from the self-classified rock-reggae band The Ohms was the reason for this atmospheric shift.

The Cincinnati-based threepiece played a marathon of a set Saturday night 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. The set list included many of the band’s original songs and some covers including Bob Marley’s “One Love” with an alt-rock twist and 311’s “Amber.” The crowd was comprised of some Miami students, some of the band’s out-of-town fan base, and some people who seemingly just happened to be there.

Upon simply looking at the members of The Ohms, their appearance does not intimate that their sound would be so heavily

reggae-based. While there is not a single dread lock in the band, the members do have lots of piercings and black clothing. This misconception is easily fixed once the band begins to play.

The genre rock-reggae is a very fitting description of what listeners are treated to. The vocals and drumbeats are those that reggae and non-reggae listeners alike tend to associate with the genre.

However, the guitar in the songs sometimes tends to have a reggae feeling and at others seems much closer to the alt-rock genre, but fits with the rest of the song elements all the same.

Along with this infusion of musical genres, the band also mixes some jam sessions into their set throughout some of the songs.

When asked what type of music fans tend to like The Ohms’ music, they cited bands such as Sublime and the Dirty Heads as having comparable sounds, but explained that many listeners who are not typically reggae fans tend to like their music.

While many bands try to boast intricate and meaningful stories about what their names mean, the members of the band plainly explained that they saw the word “Ohm” on a speaker at practice one day and the name has been with the ever since. The band consists of Dave Danforth (lead vocals and guitar), Psycho D (bass and vocals), and Chet Johnson (drums). These three members have been playing shows together for five years, but each member has been playing shows on his own for much longer than that.

This is not the first time the band has played at Stadium or in the Oxford area, nor will it be the last—it will play Stadium again Nov. 16. In previous years it has played sets at the Redbrick Rasta music festival Uptown Oxford.

The Ohms have also pioneered their own music festival called Ohmstead, which takes place at Hannon’s Camp America, just outside of Oxford. Danforth explained that along with the “music

lovers” and good crowd response they experience in Oxford; bagels from Bagel & Deli are another reason he likes playing Oxford.

“We had a blast,” Psycho D said. “It was super fun! We can’t wait to come back in November and do it again.”

The band recently released its full-length album “Press On, ” which can be downloaded at the website www.ohmsmusic. com. More information can be found at the website and on their Facebook page by searching for “The Ohms.”

Along with The Ohms, Stadium plans on delivering a full bill with a range of musicians to Miami students this semester. While a full list of acts can be found on the bar’s facebook page, there are many acts that owner Trevor Helwig is excited about bringing to Oxford. One of these is EOP on Oct. 26, which features a member of OAR who will be performing at Millett Hall the following night.

Stadium will also continue its

Helwig is enthusiastic about bringing this music to Oxford because of his personal passion for live music and because of Stadium’s 20-year history of supporting music in its purest form.

Stadium aims to make this music accessible to everyone by typically only charging a cover of $3 for concertgoers under 21 and $5 for those over 21. Helwig and his wife are both Miami alums and large portion of Stadium’s staff include current and previous Miami students.

“Everybody is welcome here,” Helwig said. “We are all tied to Miami University. We like to provide a diverse environment where people can come in and have a good time.”

Four places for fall drinks on campus and at home

By Emily Ketterer Senior Staff Writer

BRAVO! BRAVA!

There are things that everyone loves about fall: leaves changing, oversized sweaters and curling up to a warm cup of apple cider.

There is something about fall drinks that work to get people in the seasonal spirit and it all gets kicked off with Starbucks’ release of its Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Here are a few more places to get your fall drink fix.

Skipper’s Pub General Manager Mark Johnson has a fall lineup with something for everyone. The bar is picking up on a new drink trend and putting Angry Orchard’s Crisp Apple Cider on tap along with Sam Adam’s hearty Octoberfest beer and cans of Yuengling’s Oktoberfest.

Drinks that will pack a little more punch include Spooky Juice, a sort of blue screwdriver with vodka, orange juice and grenadine, and pumpkin pie and caramel apple flavored shots.

Steinkeller All of the Oktoberfest beers this basement bier hall is offering up are all imported from Germany. Waitress senior Chelsea Naughton recommends ordering

Hofbrau, Erdinger or Paulner Wiesnfestbier for a lighter Oktoberfest beer. Steinkeller also features Spaten’s red version and Ayner, a wheat brew.

Dining halls The dining halls on campus will be serving up pumpkin flavored smoothies. You can get yours at Bell Tower, Grey Stone and Ovations. Senior Lindsay Suprenant, brand ambassador for Miami Housing and Dining Services, is thrilled that Miami dining halls are embracing fall trends.

“My favorite time of year is when Starbucks comes out with Pumpkin Spice lattes,” Suprenant said. “It’s awesome that we can get pumpkin flavored drinks with our meal plan too.”

At Your Place Delish.com lists “9 Fabulous–for-Fall Cocktails” including a Bourbon Hot Toddy, a Ginger Snap and Cinnamon Toast. To check out the recipes and go to www.delish.com and search “autumn.”

There are many other seasonal offerings available around Oxford. Ask your waiter or bartender if they have any fall drink specials, especially closer to Halloween, and chances are they will.

Horror flicks for the spooky enthusiast

By Joe Gieringer

For The Miami Student

It’s October, which means horror movies are beginning to creep into theaters. If you enjoy a good scare, then you’re in luck – there’s a fresh crop of freaky flicks that are coming out in the upcoming weeks.

Sinister – Oct. 12 A found-footage type of movie that employs traditional cinematography as well, Sinister tells the terrifying story of Ellison (Ethan Hawke) and his family, who find a set of homemade films that chronicle the grisly murders of several families in his new house.

As he begins to unravel the mysteries of these gruesome tapes, Ellison’s own family is in danger of becoming the next victims of the demon Bagul.

With elements of the supernatural and a solid cast, Sinister has the potential to be deeply disturbing – and with an 82 percent fresh rating from film reviewing website Rotten Tomatoes, critics see potential in this fall thriller.

Paranormal Activity 4 – Oct. 19

Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman will return to direct the latest installment in the wildly popular series, but other than that, details of Activity has been kept tightly under wraps. The film is set five years after Paranormal Activity 2, and follows the story of Alice, her boyfriend, her mother and her brother, as paranormal activity starts to occur in their home when Katie and Hunter move into the neighborhood.

Though some viewers have grown tired of the series’ scare tactics, the formula has proven successful, and the fourth entry will undoubtedly do well in the box office. If you’re a fan of the first three, then you’d be crazy to miss this one.

Grave Encounters 2 – Oct. 12 This Canadian-American follow up to 2011’s Grave Encounters takes an interesting approach to its story. This entry follows a group of university students led

by Alex Wright, who find the compiled footage that makes up the first film and believe it to be real. They investigate the same psychiatric hospital that serves

as the first film’s setting, and become targets of the hospital’s malevolent entities.

Critical opinion was mixed on the original, but so far early reaction to Grave Encounters 2 has been mildly positive.

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D – Oct. 26 Based on the survival-horror video game Silent Hill 3 and a sequel to the 2006 film Silent Hill, Silent Hill: Revelation revisits the demented title town. Michael J. Bassett’s fifth feature film will follow Heather Mason (Adelaide Clemens) and her father, Christopher Da Silva (Sean Bean), who have been evading forces of nature they do not fully understand. When Heather is plagued by nightmares of Christopher’s disappearance, she discovers her presumed identity and life’s origins are false, and is lead to an alternate dimension in Silent Hill. Carrie-Anne Moss and Malcolm McDowell will also star, and it will be interesting to see if Bassett takes Revelation in a different direction than the original, which maintains a 29 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

said. “We tried to minimize some of the things he was doing. He was in the flow pretty good. He’s a competitor.”

After falling behind early, the RedHawks abandoned the running game, throwing the ball 53 times while on attempting 19 rushes. The RedHawks ran only two designed running plays in the second half and did not run the ball once in the third quarter.

Sophomore wide receiver Dawan Scott led the team in rushing yards, return yards and was second in receiving yards. Scott finished the game with seven touches for 104 yards and a touchdown.

Chris Wade continued to be a bright spot for the RedHawks’

defense, finishing the game with 12 tackles, a game high.

“Chris Wade is given the opportunity to make plays because of what they have the defensive front doing and things of that nature,” Treadwell said. “He is answering the bell for that and that’s a good thing.”

With the brutal non-conference schedule out of the way, the team is looking forward to getting back to MAC play, where they have high expectations.

“It sucks that we couldn’t pull it out today, but all of our goals are still attainable,” Dysert said. “All of our goals are still ahead of us. We control our own destiny.”

The Red and White return to MAC play and travel to Bowling Green State University to take on the Falcons 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

Field hockey wins MAC home opener

By Kennan Belau For The Miami Student

The Miami University field hockey team (7-8, 2-1 Mid-American Conference (MAC)) won its MAC home opener Saturday, defeating Kent State University 4-1. The RedHawks dropped a non-conference game 1-0 Sunday against Indiana University for their first home loss of the season.

“This weekend was about creating momentum,” sophomore midfielder Ali Froede said. “We most likely have to win the rest of our MAC games to get a good seed for the tournament.”

Miami controlled play early against Kent State, getting the first several shots on goal. However, Kent State took 1-0 lead in the 26th minute after junior midfielder Rebecca Lee sent a pass into the circle that missed its target and bounced off a RedHawk defender for an own goal.

“It was a stupid goal, but it was almost good because it kind of lit a fire under us,” junior forward Emily Gruesser said.

The RedHawks answered five

minutes later, as Gruesser scored off an assist from senior midfielder Olivia Miller to even the score 1-1.

Sophomore forward Valentina Neira gave Miami a 2-1 lead in the 44th minute, and freshman midfielder Bea Dechant added to the lead in the 52nd minute..

Miami scored its fourth goal in the 69th minute, as Neira stole the ball from a desperate Kent State offense to finish off the scoring.

The RedHawks outshot the Golden Flashes 18-8 and had an 8-4 advantage in penalty corners. Junior goalkeeper Sarah Mueller finished with five saves for Miami.

“Making statements is what we’re looking to do throughout the season, and this was a big statement to the other MAC teams that we’re a strong team and they can’t take us lightly,” Gruesser said.

Both Indiana and Miami struggled early Sunday.

Dechant took the first two shots of the game, but fired one wide in the 7th minute and had a shot saved by graduate student goalkeeper Viki Green in the 10th minute. Indiana responded with four shots on goal in the first half, but Mueller

In its third fall tournament, the Miami University tennis team had a strong showing in the 2012 AutoOwners Insurance Invitational in East Lansing, Mich.

On the opening day, three RedHawks advanced to the singles semifinals: sophomore Christine Guerrazzi, sophomore Ramona Costea and freshman Ana Rajkovic.

Guerrazzi earned a 6-3, 6-7, 6-0 win over the University of Wisconsin’s freshman Katie Hoch, while

Costea improved to 8-0 on the fall season with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over the University of Akron’s freshman Signe Lazdina. Rajkovic also earned a 7-5, 6-4 decision against Michigan State University’s Jennifer Yen. Junior Nimisha Mohan went 1-1 in singles with a 7-5, 6-1 win against Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. Junior Christiana Raymond and sophomore Alix Thurman also started the weekend with an opening round loss.

In doubles play, Miami went 1-2 with the team of Costea/Rajkovic picking up the only win, an

turned them all aside. Miami’s best chance of the first half came in the 30th minute, when sophomore midfielder Chrissy Zessin took the ball deep into the circle but was unable to poke it under Green.

The Hoosiers broke the scoreless tie in the 43rd minute, as senior forward Morgan Fleetwood broke free and scored a goal from the right side to make the score 1-0. The RedHawks had a golden opportunity to respond in the 52nd minute off a Logan shot from the right side. Green made the save but Miami was awarded a penalty corner. Gruesser’s corner shot was then blocked by the Indiana defense.

The RedHawks kept the offensive pressure up the rest of the game, and were awarded one last penalty corner in the final minute. Froede got a shot on goal off the corner, but Green made another save to clinch the victory for the Hoosiers.

“We just needed to finish some shots and get hungry to score,” Froede said.

The RedHawks return to action 5 p.m. Friday when they host non-conference foe Appalachian State University.

On Saturday, the ’Hawks picked up where they left off with singles sweeps by Mohan and Thurman after they fell into the consolation bracket Friday. Both earned wins over Henestrosa (7-5, 6-1) and Marquette University sophomore Ana Pimienta (6-7 (4-7), 6-0, 1-0 (10-2)), as well as defeats over University of Toledo sophomore Pia Rygh (6-3, 6-3) and Xavier University senior Kally Alkire (6-0, 6-3), respectively.

Raymond, Guerrazzi and Costea also performed well, splitting their two matches on the day. Miami’s doubles teams also split two matches.

Guerrazzi earned a 6-3, 6-1 win Sunday over Marquette freshman Aina Hernandez Soler in singles, and the doubles team of Costea/ Rajkovic got the 8-5 victory against Toledo.

“It was not the best start for us, but we competed better today,” Head Coach Anca Dumitrescu said. “One thing that we’ve been working on is fighting through adversity regardless of the outcome.”

Costea reflected on her performance and the team’s outlook for the future.

“I am happy with the way I fought this weekend, from the first until the last match,” she said. “It was tiring, and maybe frustrating at times, but my goal was to look like a fighter on the court and I think I achieved it for the most part. I believe we did very well as a team too. We encountered tough conditions, like low temperature, wind and rain. We played on different surfaces in the same day, but none of us gave up at any point.”

PATRICK GEYSER THE MIAMI STUDENT

EDITORIAL

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

Media organizations should value accuracy over immediacy when releasing information This weekend, Miami Student editors had to grapple with an issue that all media outlets face: the pressure to publish first and the risk of publishing incorrect information that comes along with breaking news.

Saturday, Cincinnati.com reported that a Miami University student was hit by an Oxford Police Department cruiser and killed. After finding this information, Miami Student staff had to decide whether to publish something immediately, going off Cincinnati.com’s information (a reputable newspaper) or wait until we had primary sources confirming this information. We decided to wait and found out the Miami student had not been killed but was in critical condition in a nearby hospital.

The Miami Student editorial board would like to point out that in this particular situation, we were lucky. Had we simply followed the current information, we would have been perpetuating inaccurate facts. However, if these facts had been correct and we had still waited to gather our own information, we would have been lagging behind all the other sources that released stories hours before us about an event on our own campus.

This tricky situation with breaking news and inaccurate facts happens all the time in the media, primarily because publications

face the severe demands of time more than ever in this intensely rapid digital age. Even in small local media, there is intense pressure to be first to get something out, and for others who don’t break the news, to immediately catch up and add something to the story. Today we seem to live with a journalistic mentality that being first, even without being the most accurate, is best. This leads to a dangerous cycle of publications regurgitating rumors rather than synthesizing stories or looking for their own information.

Furthermore, in this age of choppy, rapid news, context is often overlooked and corrections seem to be preferred over firsttime accuracy. We believe that the duty of journalists is to provide the public with information and events as soon as possible, but also with as much accuracy as possible and contextual elements that underscore the situation and importance of the story.

As Miami University’s student newspaper, we have an interesting role because we’re the closest to the news that happens here. We have better access to people here and it’s our main responsibility to get the news delivered correctly, rather than quickly.

We hear all the time how people are becoming less trusting of the media, and we can’t blame them.

Each publication is responsible for fact checking, and if a media

organization values speed over accuracy, they will rather publish a story with incorrect facts and comment on them later. Not everyone who sees the original news piece sees these corrections.

Therefore this mentality of “first is best” does not best serve media consumers, but rather best serves the profit-driven media industries vying for audiences.

We believe that mistakes will inevitably happen in journalism, as news is still produced by people, and in the flurry of breaking news, sometimes things are delivered incorrectly. However, we feel that more importance should be placed on fact checking and attribution to allow readers to gather correct information, or to at least know where the news source received an incorrect fact.

Dealing with breaking news is a very tricky situation every time; there’s no model or perfect formula to follow. Editorial judgment, luck and speed all play roles in whether information is delivered accurately and whether a reputation of a newspaper is tarnished or maintained.

Everyone makes mistakes in their jobs and journalists’ mistakes are entirely public. Journalists should continue to get information out as soon as possible while striving to maintain accuracy, because the words that they release impact the people reading them.

ESSAY anthony santora santoraj@muohio.edu

Community and contradiction: examining the identity of Miami through its architecture, which represents more than the choices made by administration As students of Miami University, we have all had the unique experience of being within a campus atmosphere. Classmates, friends, family; these are some of the words that describe the relationships this experience of collegiate life has created.

A relationship that forms and shapes the very foundations of our identities; an identity ultimately based on both community and interaction. However, we must ask ourselves if the college campus itself comes to accurately reflect this identity.

Louis Sullivan would say that the buildings we create are etchings of our soul; they contain the essence of what we believe and who we are. As these reflections of self, both on a community scale as well as an individual scale, architecture becomes the most telling aspect of societal values and ideology. So what does Miami’s architecture say about us and who we are?

To start we have to look at the construction of the campus as it is, and we can begin with the materiality of the composition of each building. The red brick façades and stone detailing, which dominate every campus building, harken back to the original Geor-

gian construction of the university’s heritage. This is coupled within a unified attempt at like forms, so that even within new construction, say for example the Goggin Ice Center, the building adheres to strict limitations of material selection and adaptation and is often set to only correlate to its existing environment.

Contained within these constraints of materiality and form comes the notion of uniformity.

In an effort for cohesion and unified atmosphere the clear delineation of individualized identity was subsumed within the totality of the campus.

Each building may have a slight uniqueness and offer varying qualities, but it must always fall back within acceptable parameters. Like the previous models of collegiate construction the idea to portray unification under shared commonality became the central theme of both the campus construction and its identity.

We can also look at the layout and placement of buildings within the campus plan as a whole.

As a campus the landscape is set often set as a picturesque composition modeled from previous classical and neo-classical universities. This is evident in the

pathway construction of pedestrian walkways, which dominates the majority of a spread out campus. Thus each building, as an individual construction, is placed to idealize the context of itself; often times removing itself, physically, from the surrounding buildings.

Even in set zone construction, where complexes of buildings

which the identity of the campus becomes the most telling, as well as the most problematic.

As mentioned earlier, the identity that is created by our collegiate experiences is one of community and interaction. In the generation of community we often embrace and celebrate the differences that each individual person brings, as

Louis Sullivan would say that the buildings we create are etchings of our soul; they contain the essence of what we believe and who we are.”

create a sense of a unified space, that space is often removed from interconnecting to the rest of campus.

While materiality stresses uniformity and cohesion, the point driven landscape of the campus puts emphasis on separation.

Each level of continuity is disconnected from the next, save from strokes of pedestrian or vehicular movement and the control of material usage.

It is in both the material composition and placement of buildings

each difference enriches the total composition. This is coupled with the amount of connectivity and interaction that often surges between the members of the community.

However, currently the campus architecture speaks of contradiction; not only from ourselves, but from within itself as well. Instead of embracing and celebrating the uniqueness of structure or typology the campus passively suppresses it. Instead of fostering a unified sense of connection the

campus separates each place. The contradictory message does not lend itself to the coalescence of identity but rather the fracturing of it.

Now before people say that I hate the campus or university, and subsequently its architecture, let me just say that I am not and do not. Miami has a beautiful campus, with a lot to offer any person. Both scenic and functional the university is a great place not only to learn, but a great place to experience life. With that being said it does not mean we must stop looking for and building towards a better campus community.

With all the construction currently underway, as well as all the future construction, the question of authenticity is key. When our buildings speak about us, and for us, the message must be clear. We want our buildings to accurately and actively say what and who we are, and by identifying and contextualizing the discrepancies between ourselves and the representation of ourselves, we can enhance both the quality of the spaces we create and the experiences we have. And it is in this enhancement that we can drive a better community and identity.

IF THE SHEW FITS sarah shew

Forgetting ‘first world problems’: we should respect our opportunities, responsibilities as Americans I often find my inner conscious complaining about things. I complain to myself about how much work I have to do, about how little sleep I get, about how cold I am walking to class, about how much money I spend at bars Uptown on the weekend.

I internally complain when mundane things go wrong, like when it suddenly monsoons and I forget my umbrella or when I forget the cookies in the oven and ruin perfectly good deliciousness.

But lately, I’ve tried to stop doing that, and I’m going to ask you to do the same. I’ve realized that all this complaining takes up way too much of my time and energy, and more importantly, is pathetically self-centered.

We, as Americans, as able-bodied and able-minded people at a school of higher learning, have nothing to genuinely complain about. Yes, things happen. We have bad days. But I ask that we expand our perspective to understand that on even our bad days, we’re so incredibly blessed.

Take the past week for example. You may have a few things to complain about that happened last week. Maybe you had a lot of midterms. Maybe you had a hangnail. Maybe you didn’t get tickets to Barstool Blackout. But look at what also happened last week: On Tuesday, when you were fretting over your strenuous exam week and lack of time to get to the Rec, 25 people were killed at

a Nigerian college over a school election, according to The New York Times. Also on Tuesday, 36 people died in a boat collision in Hong Kong, according to BBC. On Thursday, when you were watching everyone else dressed in neon raving at Brick Street, sad that you didn’t get to partake

or what class to take next semester, and handle them with much more grace.

The facts I just mentioned are not merely words and numbers, but they’re people. They’re people that are no longer on this earth due to circumstances outside their control. We seem desensitized to

I’m asking for everyone to learn a little more about the rest of the world, to better understand how incredibly blessed we all are to have been born in a country where we can speak freely and vote.” in the strobe light festivities, 180 people were killed in Homs, Syria in the “worst shelling in months,” according to BBC. On this same day, FBI personnel arrived in Benghazi to investigate the assassination of U.S. ambassador Christopher Stephens and three U.S. marines in September, according to CNN. I’m not mentioning these events to point out only the negative things that occur in the world. Amazing, ordinary people do amazing things every day of every week.

However, I think we often forget, in our comfortable rooms in our (sometimes) quiet college town that a lot of people in the world have much bigger issues than what bar to go to on Friday

this kind of information because it happens all the time; people die, wars are fought.

I’m not asking anyone to become an activist. I’m not even asking anyone to stop complaining about things in their life.

What I am asking is for everyone to think a bit more about what they have, rather than what they don’t.

I’m asking for everyone to learn a little more about the rest of the world, to better understand how incredibly blessed we all are to have been born in a country where we can speak freely and vote.

We are not hungry. We are not cold or unsheltered. We have people in our lives who care about us, and laws that protect us.

With these freedoms, in my opinion, comes a responsibility.

With them comes a responsibility to know about what’s going on beyond ourselves, to care about people who were not blessed with the same liberties and opportunities as we were. So please, follow the news.

Learn about what people in Syria, Uganda, Tibet and countless other places across the world go through on a daily basis.

Watch documentaries on these places; find pictures. Be able to envision them, so they aren’t just an abstract concept or name but an actual, visible location. Think about the articles and statistics you read not in terms of letters and numbers, but in terms of people: real, living beings with thoughts, dreams and beliefs.

Please, think about places and people in this way rather than the dry way they’re presented in news stories. Understand that as citizens of a major world power, we must care about how our country affects the rest of the world.

We should know how our policies, laws and politicians intend to interact with these populations and places.

We should participate in our democracy. Most importantly, we should be exceptionally, incessantly grateful, rather than critical. We should be grateful to have a democracy in which to participate, to have rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

huge difference,” Mandrell said. “He helps the team’s confidence. The greater number of solid runners we have, the lower the pressure gets.”

Kiplagat has influenced both Eick and Mandrell since joining the team two weeks before classes began.

“He’s one of the guys,” Eick said. “It’s nice to run with him; he’s a good guy.”

Mandrell learned more about Kiplagat on the drive to the men’s first meet in Dayton, Ohio.

“He brings a different cultural background,” Mandrell said. “We talked about Kenya and his family. Steve brings an interesting dimension to the team.”

Mandrell is impressed with Kiplagat’s level of maturity.

“Steve has a different maturity level than a new freshman,” Mandrell said. “He’s been around the block more.”

Kiplagat said he emailed and called Mandrell to join the team because he was in need of assistance through a scholarship.

However, cross-country was not the initial reason Kiplagat chose Miami.

“The classes at Miami are similar to the ones at St. Lawrence,” Kiplagat said. “It’s [also] much warmer [than St. Lawrence] at Miami, and I wanted a different experience.”

Kiplagat has had no problems transitioning.

“My teammates have helped me the most; they showed me around.

They helped me out a lot,” Kiplagat said. “I also have two Kenyan friends that have helped me.”

The men’s team competes in the MAC Championships Oct. 27 in Buffalo, NY. Miami has one goal for this meet.

“Everyone wants to win the MAC,” Kiplagat said. “We have a solid team, Eick and [junior] Dave Wing are playing a big role.”

Kiplagat also has a personal goal that will leave him satisfied no matter the result.

“I’ll just put in my best and we’ll see what happens.”

ALUMNI IN RESIDENCE PRESENTS:

“Every Game Counts” Don’t miss the public lecture delivered by renowned sports & entertainment executive, Bobby Goldwater (’74 alumnus)

Date: Tuesday, October 9th Time: 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Location: 322 McGuffey Hall

Goldwater’s visit is sponsored by the School of Education, Health & Society, the Department of Kinesiology and Health, Career Services, and Sport Leadership and Management (SLAM).

students to discuss a broad range of issues, anything from social to economic to government.”

Students working with the forum will be able to select the topic, and will select the speakers that will come.

“The expectation is that speakers will be well known and respected leaders, whose names are recognizable,” Buller said.

The Janus Forum is funded by a gift from the Thomas W. Smith Project for Liberty, Democracy, and Citizenship. This project funds programs across the nations that foster greater political involvement and education.

“In weeks prior to the forums first event, there will be an extensive and aggressive marketing campaign in hopes that it will muster widespread interest from the student body” Buller said.

Sophomore political science major Dixon Pike said he believes the event will have a positive impact on the student body’s viewpoints on important contemporary issues.

“The Janus Forum will enable students to shape their views with clarity,” Pike said. “Having such a resource on this campus will be an invaluable tool that students should utilize.”

TITLE IX, FROM PAGE 2

“You have to give the same opportunities to boys and girls,” Hogshead-Makar said. “But it can be divided up how ever. Men can have different sports teams than women.”

Senior Jenny Warmolts is a swimmer at Miami who attended Hogshead-Makar’s lecture. She said it meant a lot to hear a former swimmer speak.

“I’m not that educated about Title IX,” Warmolts said. “I didn’t know how much it meant and how far we’ve come and I also didn’t know how far we have to go. There is still inequality.”

Hogshead-Makar said there are still problems in enforcing Title IX, which does result in unequal treatment of men and women.

“Some schools choose to come into compliance by ‘cheating,’” she said. “They sort of fudge the numbers and say that women are on the team who really aren’t on the team.”

Sophomore Jared Tadlock is a basketball player at Miami. He said that Title IX has opened up many opportunities.

“I think it’s cool because it gives a chance for both genders to compete at the collegiate level,” Tadlock said. “It’s brought about different sports and evened out the playing field for both men’s and women’s opportunities.”

SOCCER, FROM PAGE 1

opportunities, so it was a great effort by the whole team to make everything work.”

Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Allison Norenberg was not tested much and only had two saves.

Sunday’s game on senior day was a complete switch for the RedHawks, as they went from facing a physical opponent to a team with speed and good spacing on the pitch, eerily similar to Miami’s playing style.

The Eagles were the only other unbeaten MAC team until a 1-0 loss Friday to Ball State University.

Eastern Michigan came out strong defensively and executed well offensively, confusing the Miami defense all game. Two Miami first half shots hit the back of the net but were taken away for offsides penalties.

The Eagles found the net first in the 14th minute, but the RedHawks quickly responded five minutes later when sophomore midfielder Kelsey Dinges scored her seventh goal of the season on a shared assist from senior captain Jess Kodiak and Walter.

Kodiak then found Dinges a second time in the 27th minute on a touch pass to put the Red and White up 2-1. It was Dinges’ second multi-goal game this season and Miami’s sixth such game this year.

“I was proud to be able to contribute any way I could, especially on a day like today,” Kodiak said. “I kept playing hard, and was able to find Kelsey [Dinges] for two great goals.”

Dolesh connected with Beck on a give-and-go for Dolesh’s fifth goal on the season to start the second half. The Eagles responded with a goal of their own in the 66th minute and pulled even in the 84th minute.

However, Miami refused to quit and Zakrzewski responded with the game winner just one minute later, putting back a shot by freshman midfielder Jess Bronke, notching the ball straight in the middle of the net.

“It was a special weekend for us with senior day and alumni day,” Zakrzewski said. “We wanted to play for them, and make it worth their time. It took a lot of heart and character to come back and win this game, and we proved we could play in tough spots. We just have to continue to be tough from now on.”

The RedHawks are now the top team in the MAC and have recorded seven shutouts, scoring 41 goals through 14 games while only giving up 11.

’Hawks tame Mustangs

WHAT’S GOING DOWNEY

FINDING The NEXT GREAT MAC QUARTERBACK The Mid-American Conference (MAC) has always had a great group of quarterbacks with successful NFL careers. Chad Pennington and Bryon Leftwich from Marshall University, Joshua Cribbs and Julian Edelman played quarterback for Kent State University, although they’ve found their success at wide receiver in the NFL, and of course Miami’s own Ben Roethlisberger.

Who’s next?

Enter Zac Dysert.

Dysert is the next great MAC quarterback. He is first player to throw for 500 yards and rush for 100. Ever. Dysert is 15th in the nation in total offense per game. He is ahead of Heisman hopefuls like Braxton Miller, E.J. Manuel and Collin Klein. Matt Barkley is not even in the top 50.

Dysert is going to pass Ben Roethlisberger for most career passing yards as a RedHawk. It is just a matter of time. Dysert is the key to the current RedHawk team, and rightfully so. When you have such a talented player who can do it all, it is reasonable to rely on him.

Even when Dysert doesn’t have his best game (see: OSU or UC) he still is able to throw for over 300 yards.

The point is that Dysert is one of the most prolific college quarterbacks in recent memory in the MAC. That doesn’t always translate over to the NFL, but it will with Dysert.

Dysert will likely be taken in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft.

The big name scouts are starting to notice him. Matt Miller had him ranked as the 53rd overall prospect and seventh best quarterback. My sources tell me that Dysert entered the year with a third round grade.

It’s easy to see why scouts are in love with him. Dysert looks like a prototypical pocket passer, but Dysert has the ability to run the ball when needed. He has a Ben Roethlisberger-esque ability to keep the play alive by making guys miss in

the pocket and extending the play.

He also has the Tony Romo spin move away from the pressure in his arsenal as well.

Dysert has also overcome much adversity during his time at Miami. It is hard for any player, let alone the quarterback, to deal with three new head coaches. He has also had five different combinations of quarterback coaches and offensive coordinators.

And yet, Dysert has played as well as anyone in the nation. Imagine what happens when he has the same coaching staff for a few years in a row.

Dysert also has an incredible pocket presence. His internal clock is on par with anyone in the NFL right now. Dysert makes reads at an NFL level. Very rarely does he lock in on one receiver. He has no problem going to his third or even fourth read. Nowhere is this more evident than in the uptick in passes to RedHawk tight ends, which have never been a major part in the offense.

Dysert is an extremely accurate passer, and while he doesn’t have Joe Flacco’s arm, his arm is strong enough.

It is easy to compare Dysert to Roethlisberger, but Dysert reminds me a lot of Alex Smith. Both are 6-4 and weigh around 220 pounds.

Smith also has the ability to run the ball when needed and also has gone through several coaches and coordinators.

Dysert will likely go between rounds two and three to a team looking to groom a quarterback for a few years behind its current starter. Dysert can fit in a variety of offenses, but I think his best fit might be a West Coast offense where he can use his feet if needed.

Scouts from the Eagles, Cowboys, Steelers and several other teams have watched Dysert this year and could be looking at their future franchise quarterback, who just so happens to come from the MidAmerican Conference.

Efficient shooting and physical play was the name of the game for the ninth-ranked Miami University hockey team, who defeated Western Ontario 6-2 in the team’s home exhibition opener.

The young Miami skaters were slow to start but they found their stride in the second frame. The Mustangs, who beat Western Michigan University in a shootout Saturday, proved no match for the fresh, rested RedHawks, who pulled away in the third period. Head Coach Enrico Blasi was pleased overall with his squad’s effort.

“I thought we did a lot of good things,” Blasi said. “I thought our guys handled themselves well, we executed fairly well … The one thing you always want to measure as a coach is their work habits, and their enthusiasm and their passion to play, and I thought that was very evident tonight.”

Sophomore forward Austin Czarnik started things off for the RedHawks less than five minutes in, as freshman forward Riley Barber fed him from behind the net for a quick first strike.

The Mustangs responded quickly however, as Shaun Furlong

sneaked a shot past sprawling freshman goaltender Jay Williams just minutes later to tie the game at one. Not to be outdone, Miami freshman forward Kevin Morris put a five-hole shot past the Mustangs goaltender to break the tie at the 8:30 mark in the first period.

Miami outshot Western Ontario 16-4 in the first period and would sustain that type pressure to finish ahead in the final shot count 49-14.

The Mustangs evened the score again early in the second period, but that would be all the production they would find. Miami gave freshman goaltender Ryan McKay the nod at the 10:38 mark, and he flashed the leather with a crowdpleasing glove save. Following the save, the Brotherhood notched three goals in the next two minutes to put the game out of reach.

Junior forward Bryon Paulazzo started the offensive explosion with a one-timer after a series of tic-tac-toe passes from freshman forward Alex Gacek and Morris.

Sophomore forward Jimmy Mullin scored just 39 seconds later, as Barber tallied his second assist of the night.

Czarnik lit the lamp for the second time at 13:33 on the power play, beating the Western goaltender clean with a snipe high blocker side. Barber and sophomore

forward Alex Wideman assisted on the goal, giving him a playmaker (three assists) on the night.

Sophomore forward Blake Coleman added one more score on a five-minute power play in the third, extending the lead to 6-2. Miami was 2-7 with the man advantage.

It was an aggressive game, with 20 total penalties.

“I think the freshmen really clicked,” Czarnik said. “They ended up working hard. Morris had a great game and so did Barber and McKay. So did Jay [Williams].

It was a team effort, they really showed up today and I’m proud of them.”

Blasi liked the effort in goal for Miami as well, and praised both goalies’ first collegiate starts. Each finished with six saves.

“It’s tough for [Williams] to start, but I thought he did a nice job [and] handled himself real well,” Blasi said. “And then it’s tough to come in as a goaltender halfway through the game, so I thought [McKay] handled himself well. It’s a tough game to play when you’re only seeing a few shots – and when you do see shots, they’re usually pretty quality. But I like our goaltending.”

Water ski makes first trip to Nationals ’Cats blow out RedHawks in Battle for the Victory Bell

Miami University is not only known for its undeniable beauty or its strong academics, but also for its club and varsity athletic teams. And now it might be time to add the Miami waterski team to that list.

For the first time in the team’s 16-year history, the RedHawks are heading to the National Collegiate Water Ski Championships in Zachary, La. following a third place finish in the Midwest Regionals behind the University of Wisconsin La Crosse and Purdue University.

The No. 7 ’Hawks began Regionals with a splash, as the women’s slalom team recorded two personal bests along with a fifth place finish by junior Emily Van Treese. Junior David Dalton finished third for the men’s slalom team.

The Red and White continued to dominate on the ramp, as every member of the jump team recorded a new personal best and Van Treese won the event, breaking the Regional Record with a 2090 point run in the individual trick category.

“The team’s achievement of

qualifying for nationals goes beyond skiing incredibly well at Regionals, but is a tribute to the endless hours we have committed to make it this far,” senior Ashley May said. “I am so proud of our dedication on and off the water that made accomplishing this amazing feat possible.”

In 2009, the team failed to qualify for the Regional Tournament. The following year, the team finished 14th out of 16 teams, and placed 10th in the region last year. However, each of these accomplishments fell short of the team’s goals.

“It has been the vision of the seniors to lead this team to this point [in making Nationals],” senior and President Drew Petro said. “Four years ago, this was just a group of freshman with a dream.”

This year the team financed the purchase of a new MasterCraft boat to train behind and secured an official tournament site for practice.

Meanwhile, some team members received professional coaching in Florida during Spring Break last semester and the entire team spent significant time on the water over the summer.

The additional time paid off.

The team placed second in every regular season tournament for the first time in the club’s history and the women had complete teams running full slalom passes and a full team of jumpers; feats never accomplished before.

“The biggest challenge for teams if they want to be competitive is to create depth,” junior David Dalton said. “To put together five women and five men in each of the three events is quite difficult, but our accomplishments so far are a testament to the hard work each member of the team has put toward their events.”

The team also received the spirit award at Regionals, dressing up in camouflage, neon and all red on the different days, coupled with noise makers, supportive signs and school chants.

The RedHawks are now preparing for the three tournament water ski events: trick run, slalom and distance jump.

Miami will face the likes of the University of Texas, Clemson University, the University of North Carolina, Kansas University and the University of Alabama among others at Nationals Oct. 18-20.

The Miami University football team fell to 3-3 after being blown out 52-14 by the University of Cincinnati (UC) (4-0 overall, 1-0 Big East) Saturday. The RedHawks committed a season high four turnovers and gave up 272 rushing yards, dropping their seventh straight game against the rival Bearcats.

“It always concerns you,” Head Coach Don Treadwell said of the rushing yards given up. “But that’s the beauty of still having games to play and being able to go back to the film and evaluate why did it happen. That’s more important than that it just happened.”

The Bearcats’ 52 points ties the most scored by either team in the 117 times the two schools have met.

“The word we often use is momentum,” Treadwell said. “I think Cincinnati did a great job of seizing the momentum at opportunistic times and that makes a difference in the game when we were trying to close the gap a little bit early. But UC would make a play and that is what good teams do.”

The RedHawks (2-0 Mid-American Conference (MAC)) continued to struggle against the run, as the Bearcats ran the ball 50 times for 272 yards and four scores. Senior tailback George Winn did most of the damage, picking up 128 yards and two touchdowns on only 16 carries.

“Their offensive line is really good and their quarterback is really shifty,” junior linebacker Chris Wade said. “I thought we fought

well on defense. I think we’ll learn from this and move on to next week.”

The Red and White struck first on a touchdown pass from redshirt senior quarterback Zac Dysert, but committed three straight turnovers: two Dysert picks, one of which went for a touchdown, and a fumble from freshman running back Jamire Westbrook. The Bearcats scored 21 points off four Miami turnovers.

Dysert passed the 10,000 career passing yard mark and moved up to 66th all-time in passing yards.

Dysert was 25-49 for 303 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw three interceptions.

“We had a lot of turnovers and the better team won today,” Dysert said. “We didn’t play very well.”

The RedHawks ran only two designed running plays in the second half.”

Dysert is only 583 yards behind Ben Roethlisberger in passing yards, which would make him Miami’s all-time leader.

Junior wide receiver Nick Harwell made his first appearance since suffering a leg injury and wasted no time making his presence known, catching a pass the first play of the game. Harwell finished the game with five catches for 40 yards and a score.

“For Nick, he was just trying to get back in the flow,” Treadwell
