Gideon Grudo Managing Editor On Nov. 9, the Seward Johnson was being painted in preparation for its coming departure.

It is FAU’s only research ship, and its sale this past summer raised controversy between administrators and faculty on the Harbor Branch campus, where it is currently docked. It was sold to a Brazilian environmental agency and is set to sail away this month.

The photo (right) was e-mailed to the UP by a source who wished to remain unnamed.

“We did all we knew to do to save her,” the e-mail read.

Asked to confirm the status of the ship, FAU officials wrote by e-mail that “the boat has not yet been painted, and it isn’t set to go anytime real soon.”

Fifteen minutes after they were informed that the UP had a photo of the ship being painted, a new e-mail was sent.

“The painting has begun on one portion of the ship; however, the painting project is not complete,” an FAU spokeswoman wrote. “The ship is not expected to sail for a few weeks.”

The e-mail from the unnamed source ended: “So many people here are saddened by this. We The People, lost.”

Fun to kill cancer Club uses unconventional methods to bring in donations Kaceion Hudson Contributor Dancing in a flash mob, providing manicures for cures, and battling it out in an imitation gladiator ring are just some of ways the members of Up ’til Dawn have been fighting cancer.

The organization was created by students and is run nationwide to help raise awareness and funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In 2009, Up ’til Dawn made its way to FAU and since then has hosted an array of events.

Their first major event took place in spring 2009, when members hosted a letter-sending event. Volunteers wrote letters to children who have been hospitalized at St. Jude’s, as well as to potential sponsors to request funding for research. With that event and some others, like partial donations from Jamba Juice and Cold Stone Creamery from student purchases, they were able to raise $11,000 — which is nearly half of their annual goal of $25,000, according to executive director of Up ’til Dawn Kristina Hall-Michel.

At the letter-sending event, students got to play games like “gladiator” and raced in a bounce house. Simone Hyman, a third-year elementary education student, recalled her experience, “My favorite part was playing the games that they had, and I liked the fact that it united a variety of people that wouldn’t usually commune.”

In September, volunteers as well as members of Up ’til Dawn flash-danced to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” in the Breezeway.

Third-year nursing student Julia Baker said the group imitated the likes of television show Glee’s performances.

“This flash mob, I believe, got the most publicity for Up ’til Dawn, because students never saw this before so a lot of people wanted to know what we were doing,” Baker said. “A lot

of students came up to me afterwards and asked questions about the performance. It’s always good to raise awareness for a good cause.”

This effort didn’t raise any funds, but it did get the attention of passing students who stopped to watch the performance. After the dance, the students dispersed as though nothing had happened.

They held Manicures for Cures Spa Day on the Boca campus on Sept. 23. Students, faculty and staff got to enjoy a manicure for a donation of $5. This event pushed the organization only a few steps closer to their goal, with about another $200.

In order to meet their goal for the year, they plan on hosting another letter-sending event on Nov. 17. The executive board’s plan is to register at least 174 volunteers, who will be broken up into teams. Ms. Hall said their method of recruiting members is basically leading by example.

Third-year finance student Joel Walters said he joined because “it is a great cause and it’s always good to give back.” Walters had cancer as a child and his parents didn’t know about St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, so for him, he said, “It is important to spread awareness and get others to do the same.” Walters now serves as the monetary donations chairperson.

If you would like to join the cause and help Up ’til Dawn, you can form a team of your own.

Registration packets are located in the Office of Greek Life, on the second floor of the Boca Student Union in Room 218.

Dashboard confessions Chris Carrabba to start tour in Fort Lauderdale

Photo courtesy of www.skacphotography.com

Sitting in the audience when Dashboard Confessional opened their Mizner Park concert in 2006, FAU student Joe Giardino recalls how relaxed and memorable the atmosphere of the concert was as the band played against a shadowy backdrop of leaves and trees.

Giardino, a junior biology/pre-pharmacy major, said he has seen Dashboard perform about six or seven times, and each time, they open the show differently. “I love it, their style is very inspirational and meaningful songwriting.”

And this November, lead singer of Dashboard and former FAU student Chris Carrabba will be touring solo in honor of the 10-year anniversary of The Swiss Army Romance album.

“The first record is a solo record, so I’m doing a solo tour playing the whole record as it were,” Carrabba told the UP. To kick off the tour, he will be performing on Nov. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale.

Carrabba explained that the record and re-release have meaning not just for him, but also for the fans. He was mostly excited that although the record probably means something different to them now, it still means something.

“It had been 10 years since the record came out, and I had a lot of piles of weird stuff that I found, weird pictures,

handwritten lyrics, those kinds of things, and I thought, ‘Why not do a limited release?’” Carrabba said.

“Music in general, not necessarily my music, is like the life force, it’s what feeds my life force. It’s a powerful thing,” he said.

“I’m excited to be playing a show in the place where I started this band. It should be pretty exciting, at least personally,” he said. The band was started in Florida and was originally a side project for Carrabba while he was in the band Further Seems Forever.

As a former FAU student, Carrabba said his time at FAU was a great experience, and he made a lot of friends.

Carrabba’s music is fueled by his life experiences and memories.

“It’s a great milestone to still be able to be making music 10 years after our first record in the kind of business that we’re in, you know, we’re not bankers — to have that kind of longevity is pretty incredible,” Carrabba said.

This re-release will be a vinyl-only album limited to 1,000 copies, as confirmed by Andy Adelewitz, a publicist at Paradigm Talent Agency. The special album can be purchased online through the band’s website. The tour is currently scheduled to include 17 locations.

An honored club

Students volunteer with Jupiter’s immigrant population WORDS AND PHOTOS BY KARLA BOWSHER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

S www.upressonline.com • University Press • November 16, 2010 • 8

enior Kristina Klaas spends most of her Mondays researching and writing about immigration authorities.

Then she spends the evening teaching English to immigrants from Central America.

Klaas is president of the Jupiter campus’s Corn Maya Club. Its members host and assist with multicultural events both on and off campus, but their main activity is teaching English at El Sol, which is Spanish for “sun.” This nonprofit resource center helps Jupiter’s immigrant population adapt to life in the U.S. The center’s mission is controversial, but its relationship with the Jupiter campus =offers students like Klaas a real-world learning opportunity that no textbook could provide.

“When you teach them, you’re learning also from them, about their culture. You have to learn about it to be a good teacher. You have to recognize their culture,” said Vice President Tara Boulos. “So, it’s kind of an exchange.”

Faculty adviser Timothy Steigenga believes that the club’s most important function is providing students regular contact with a section of the population that has difficulty fitting into society.

“It’s also about the students seeing the immigrants as members of the same community,” he said.

The club members teach English primarily to manual laborers, like landscapers and construction workers. The majority are males in their 20s or 30s who received very little formal education and lack even a high school diploma or GED, according to El Sol education coordinator Recaredo Fernandez.

They’re part of a wave of refugees and asylum-seekers who came to the agricultural towns west of Jupiter starting in the 1980s, during the middle of the 36-year-long Guatemalan Civil War. Most of them are Mayan descendents from southern Mexico and the Guatemalan Highlands, according to Steigenga, a political science professor who studies Guatemala.

Although Steigenga reports that most of the club’s members have related majors like Latin American studies, international studies or political science, Klaas believes that even members majoring in areas like philosophy or the sciences benefit from the experiences at El Sol. Christina Turn is a biology major on a pre-med track, but she works under Klaas as co-president, meaning that she will likely take over as president when Klaas graduates.

“I think it’s really useful, especially for pre-med people, to be able to see the people behind the science,” Turn said. “It’s also a great way to become more well-rounded, because so often people just focus on one part of their lives.”

Fernandez, who earned his doctorate in education and prepares El Sol’s lesson plans, said he intentionally creates lessons that inform the teachers as much as the students.

Corn Maya Club members — most of whom are U.S.-born Caucasians and attend FAU’s Honors College — lead very

different lives and come from very different backgrounds than the immigrants they teach. So, in an effort to help the two groups better understand the other’s background and experiences, Fernandez relates lesson content to the immigrants’ personal lives.

Club members therefore teach English through bilingual discussion — they switch between English and Spanish — of topics like employment and health. As a result, common classroom conversations include how to apply and interview for a job and how to navigate the U.S. healthcare system.

Fernandez believes this encourages the immigrants to participate more in class, and the more they open up, the more their teachers learn about the daily life of Jupiter’s immigrant population.

The immigrants also learn more about life in the U.S. Sophomore Adrian Viller, a club member and international studies major, said that in the level-A class he taught this semester, he explained everything from how to talk to a doctor, to why immigrants should trust police here when Latin American police officers are known for corruption, to why illegal immigrants can’t obtain driver’s licenses.

“I think they enjoyed learning that as much as they enjoyed learning the language,” he said, “and that was very rewarding.”

Viller, who recently joined the Corn Maya Club, added that he started with low expectations, unsure of what he signed up for when he volunteered to teach at El Sol. He was surprised that most of the students were adults, but he found them eager to learn, even from young, informally trained instructors.

Kristina Klaas agrees.

“That’s a lot of time out of their day: six hours a week at night after they’ve been working all day,” she said. “I wouldn’t want to do it. I would probably be lazy myself and not want to push myself, but they have that really strong drive.”

Raul*, who took a level-C class with Klaas this semester but never attended school before, said that taking classes at El Sol provides him a chance to practice his English.

He works for a condo association, but his boss doesn’t like him to converse with non-employees. At home, his roommates are friends he talks to in Spanish.

“I very happy,” he said of his third semester at El Sol. “I need to practice. I need to write.”

Miguel* also appreciates the opportunity to improve his English, but for different reasons.

As a carpenter, he is usually hired by Americans, so the better his English, the better he can communicate with his employers and co-workers.

“I learn a lot here,” he said. “Now I can write and read something, because before I started here, I couldn’t read nothing.”

Miguel attends class when he can’t find work, which El Sol also helps him with.

The center, whose director is Corn Maya Club co-founder and FAU alumna Jocelyn Sabbagh, has provided various services since its current facility opened in 2006. These services are free to all Jupiter residents because, in addition to the

donations and grants that largely fund it, El Sol receives financial assistance from the city. For example, the organization leased its current facility from Jupiter for only one dollar per year, according to a Palm Beach Post article.

Besides English classes, which are offered in the mornings as well as the night classes that Corn Maya Club members help teach, the center provides computer courses, health education, daycare and pro bono legal assistance.

They even encourage immigrants to give back to the local community by volunteering with organizations like Habitat for Humanity. Last year, immigrants volunteered a total of 935 hours, according to El Sol’s annual report.

El Sol’s most utilized resources, however, are its English language classes and its labor center.

More than 4,500 students took advantage of the daytime English classes, and more than 100 students advanced one level in evening classes last year, according to the report. The labor center, which is open even on weekends, found day jobs for 6,923 workers in need of employment by matching them up with employers from the local community.

While most of the workers who use the labor center are immigrants, Sabbagh reports that a rising number of nonimmigrant residents have relied on the service since the economic downturn. She estimates that 5 percent of the workers El Sol places in jobs are Americans.

Still, some community members oppose the center because it helps immigrants without asking whether they are here legally.

A Jan. 16, 2008, Sun-Sentinel article reported that 20 to 25 protestors had gathered outside El Sol every weekend since early December 2007.

“Jupiter is blatantly complicit in felonious hiring transactions,” David Caulkett, vice president of the nonprofit Floridians for Legal Immigration Enforcement, told the Sun-Sentinel. “In a democracy, you cannot have towns violating federal laws.”

Several December 2007 Scripps newspaper articles also documented protests of El Sol, but Sabbagh and Kristina Klaas both said protestors have completely disappeared in recent years.

Sabbagh believes this is because El Sol provides an organized and largely well-received solution to problems previously caused by Jupiter’s growing immigrant population, which used to gather at the curb of the city’s Center Street to be picked up by potential employers. Many ended up as robbery victims, she said, because they carried cash and were willing to get into strangers’ cars.

It seems Corn Maya Club members agree with Sabbagh’s perspective.

They have the opportunity to receive volunteer service hours for the time they spend at El Sol, but Klaas said many don’t take it. According to her, they give their free time to El Sol because it’s “fun.”

“The volunteer hours is kind of a petty thing. It’s really not about getting volunteer hours or anything like that. You don’t go so that you can have something to put on your transcript,” she said. “It’s a nice addition, but you really go simply because you enjoy what you’re doing.” [*The names of El Sol’s students have been changed to protect their identity.]

Although the Corn Maya Club is relatively young, having started about five years ago, it has already received several awards: 2010: The club was named Outstanding Student Organization by Student Government’s Students Advocating Volunteer Involvement.

2010: Co-founder Jocelyn Sabbagh was named Distinguished Alumna by the Honors College.

2009: Faculty adviser Timothy Steigenga was named Adviser of the Year by the Jupiter campus.

2008: The club was named Club of the Year by the Jupiter campus.

Punked up

International artist and student bands share space in art gallery

The current art exhibition at the Schmidt Gallery contains not only art, but performing punk bands and videos.

The exhibit, Raymond Pettibon: The Punk Years, 1978-1986, opened Nov. 13 on the Boca campus. The exhibit features graphic artwork from international artist Raymond Pettibon, who was inspired by underground comics, Mad Magazine, children’s cartoon shows and the 1980s L.A. punk scene, according to Twentieth-Century American Art. The exhibit consists of Pettibon’s comic book inspired drawings and later works.

Erica Ando, exhibit curator, said the front of the gallery displays the punk collection, the middle of the gallery displays his most recent drawings, the back of the room has a stage where bands will perform and an area for a film series featuring Pettibon’s video work with other artists.

Ando said college students will easily connect to the graphic work and make connections to discontentment with society.

Pettibon’s pencil-and-ink drawings include characters such as nuns, vixens, cowboys and dismembered bodies. His self-published magazines, or zines, have titles like Virgin Fears, Tripping Corpse, and The Language of Romantic Thought.

He also created designs for skateboard decks and numerous album covers for punk artists such as Black Flag and Sonic Youth, according to a 2005 New York Times article.

Ando approached music professor James Cunningham to see how the art and music departments could incorporate punk-inspired music into the exhibit. Cunningham said one of the ideas was to use the gallery space to its full potential. Since Pettibon’s artwork would not take up the whole gallery, they decided to divide the gallery into the three sections.

This is when the idea of “Let’s build a stage in the gallery for punk bands to play” was suggested. Cunningham explained that the stage design is based on the stage at New York’s famous CBGB bar. Cunningham’s stage has corrugated metal sides and peeling, torn off concert posters and flyers that could be considered artwork themselves.

Still in the hunt

A bowl game may not be out of the question for FAU after all.

The Owls’ virtual nonexistent chance of playing a 13th game this season received a major boost on Saturday, as not only did they defeat ULL 24-23 at Lockhart Stadium, but perennial Sun Belt powerhouse Troy looked like a team capable of being beat as it lost to FIU, 52-35.

FAU (4-5, 3-3) now has a golden chance to play in its third bowl game in four years should it win two of its remaining three games. Next week’s match at Texas should be the Owls’ most difficult, but games against Middle Tennessee and Troy now appear winnable, especially considering FAU’s recent resurgence.

“We like to keep that thought in the recesses of our mind while we talk about winning the next game,” said head coach Howard Schnellenberger on how his players are looking back at the 2008 Owls team that overcame a 1-5 start to make and win a bowl game.

FAU didn’t win its third straight game simply because of its play, though. The Owls benefited from a questionable call by Ragin’ Cajuns head coach Rickey Bustle, who decided to go for a game-winning two-point conversion instead of a safer game-tying point-after attempt with 1:45 to play in the game.

On the play, ULL quarterback Blaine Gautier, who

made his first collegiate start due to injuries to the top two quarterbacks, rolled left before misfiring with a pass, giving FAU the victory.

Bustle and his players were adamant after the game about the coach’s decision to go for the win instead of overtime. The Owls? They were shocked.

“We were really hyper, that they were going for two,” said safety Marcus Bartels. “It was kind of like a slap in the face to us to try and go for two, so it was fun [to stop them].”

For a third straight game, FAU’s defense came up big when called upon, even without the services of cornerback Tavious Polo, who missed most of the game with an injury picked up in the first half.

Even with the defense continuing to shine, it was the offense that showed marked improvement from last week.

The unit not only scored three touchdowns, but there was noticeable improvement at various positions.

The offensive line played well, allowing running back Alfred Morris to rush for 143 yards and a touchdown.

Morris also scored on a 16-yard screen pass in the third quarter thanks to a good individual effort as well as a key block from a teammate.

Tight end Rob Housler had a strong outing, too. Housler made three catches for 73 yards, and while all of those came in the first quarter, he looked like a more confident and secure target for quarterback Jeff Van Camp to throw to.

“It’s not the greatest of wins, but we enjoy the W’s,” said Housler of FAU’s third one-point win this season.

“Everyone’s pumped.”

That excitement and energy the players are feeling will need to be transformed and shaped to fit the Owls’ next opponent: Texas. The Longhorns are currently stuck in a rut, having lost their last four games by a combined 57 points. Texas also already has six losses this season, and one more would make them ineligible for a bowl game.

Even with the tough season Texas is enduring, it should be able to defeat FAU based on the talent difference alone.

If that’s the case, FAU will need to win its final two games of the season, at Middle Tennessee and vs. a nowbeatable Troy, in order to finish at 6-6 and become bowleligible. Still, the confident Owls will head into Texas aiming for an upset that would surely be among one of the bigger ones this season.

“Obviously it feels better going into any game with a win than with a loss, and we’re going up there to go give our best effort,” said linebacker Michael Lockley. “We’re not going there to just play a game. We’re going there to win.”

That might be aiming a bit too high for a team that has struggled to put forth a complete performance thus far this season, but don’t tell the Owls that. They’re playing every game knowing that becoming bowl-eligible is on the line.
