ACADEMICS

First online degree program launches

As the popularity of online classes and web-based aca-demic tools increases, educational communities aim to keep up with the digital trends.

On Sept. 29, the University of Miami opened up appli-cations for its first fully-online degree program, UOnline. The program offers tracks for master’s degrees in finance through the School of Business Administration and sport administra-tion through the School of Education and Human Develop-ment beginning January 2015.

The program is geared toward working professionals seeking further professional development and skill diversifica-tion. The academic programs are based on campus curricula that have been tailored and streamlined to provide flexibility without compromising the quality of education.

“The programs have the same standards as the on-the-ground programs,” said William Green, senior vice provost and dean of undergraduate education. “Regular faculty mem-bers who are teaching the on-the-ground courses will be in-structing UOnline courses.”

The new online courses will offer interactive learning open to prospective graduate students from around the world, whether they are a UM alumni or a new student.

Last year, a special task force co-chaired by Green and Mitsunori Ogihara of the Computer Science department was appointed to oversee the implementation of UOnline. It in-cluded representatives of the Faculty Senate, the administra-tion and Student Government. Comprehensive surveys were conducted to assess community interest in an online program.

The UOnline program is the result of consultation be-tween UM and Laureate Education, a worldwide online edu-cation provider based in Baltimore, Maryland. Course design-ers worked with UM faculty to develop the online classes.

This project marks a significant shift toward increased online learning on campus, according to Green. The goals were to expand UOnline to offer more programs in the future and that the possibility of fully-online undergraduate degrees “had to be explored,” Green said.

Junior Soha Khedkar, a double major in economics and health sector management and policy, recognizes the possibili-ties this program will provide.

“I think it’s a great opportunity to allow working indi-viduals based anywhere to earn a master’s degree, and I’m excited to see it expand ...” she said.

UOnline’s programs cost $43,500 for a master’s in fi-nance and $53,700 for a master’s in sports administration. UM will offer up to 30 percent in financial assistance in the forms of tuition reduction and merit scholarships.

Online applications are currently available at online.miami.edu upon request. The programs are currently pend-ing accreditation from Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

NBCUniversal executive visits School of Communication

Vice Chairman of NBCU-niversal Ron Meyer shared his journey to becoming the longest-serving chief of a major motion picture company in Hollywood history with students Monday morning at the School of Com-munication.

Meyer gave professional ad-vice on presentations, business fundamentals and writing, in addition to sharing his personal experiences working his way to the top.

When Meyer was 15, he dropped out of school and lat-er returned to f inish his high school degree. At 19, he joined the United States Marine Corps. He explained that he was “criti-cal of most college choices.”

“There’s a certain point where you stop learning things that are applicable to the real world,” he said.

Meyer then worked at the William Morris Agency and then founded a talent agency with four other agents from the WMA, named Creative Artists Agency. When ref lecting on his time at the WMA, he described his f irst interview, when he pretended to be something he wasn’t.

“I told them I had previous-ly worked as an agent,” he said. “But I don’t think they hired me for any reason except that they liked me and needed someone.”

Meyer then said that “pre-sentation is everything,” and that is how he makes his deci-sions, too.

The former Universal Stu-dios president then pointed out two business fundamentals not taught in the current education system.

“Treat everyone the way you want to be treated. Remem-ber, nice people does not mean weak people,” Meyer said. “And secondly, give everyone the ben-efit of the doubt.”

Senior Sean Steinberg, who attended the event, felt the dis-cussion was honest and helpful.

“In all of his responses, it never felt like we as students were being pandered or talked down to,” he said. “He held a frank discussion about the na-ture of the industry, and while not everything he said was meant to be encouraging in a cli-che sense, he gave practical ad-vice to anyone with a real desire to work his or her way in from the bottom.”

Matt Head, a junior major-ing in motion pictures, shared a similar opinion.

“Ron Meyer was incredibly frank with us students about to enter the industry,” he said. “Ron’s advice that through hard work, determination and a bit of luck we could be successful in Hollywood was relieving.”

Meyer thinks the industry’s biggest challenge is the cost.

“If you spend more than you make, costs keep going up,” he said. “Sixty-five to 70 per-cent of movies made are f lops. You make great movies, but you make bad movies, too. It’s an imperfect business.”

When addressing the ques-tion of where students should get started to be successful in the industry, he said it’s all a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

“You may be special as indi-viduals, but as students, every-one goes to college nowadays,” he said. “For me, to get ahead, people had to die, quit or go to jail.”

The best thing to do to be successful in the f ield, he ad-vised students, is not to give up.

“Stick with it. It’s the hard-est part, but that’s it,” he said. “The good news for those of you who refuse to give up is that a lot of you will give up.”

CAMPUS LIFE

Shalala hosts student media press conference

On Wednesday, President Donna E. Sha-lala sat down for a press conference with stu-dent media. She talked about the future and financial status of the university.

The Miami Hurricane compiled select questions from the press conference.

STUDENT MEDIA: What do you think is still left to be accomplished that your successor will tackle?

DONNA SHALALA: Oh, lots of things are left to be accomplished. The integration of modern technology into the classroom and into research ... rethink-ing and rebuilding undergraduate housing on campus. ... But the real core responsibility will be hiring a new generation of faculty.

This generation, my own generation, will be retiring in the next five years, and the quality of the university – its reputation – will be determined by the next generation of faculty.

SM: Why did you pick this year as your last year at UM?DS: I actually picked four years ago. But the economic down-

turn made all universities in this country unstable, and therefore it was necessary to rebuild our financial balance sheet, to make sure we were financially in good shape. ... Most people cancelled their campaigns because of the economic downturn, but we decided that we would try to raise $1.6 billion. And it looks like by June we’ll have raised that. I intended to leave though after 10 years. I just got waylaid.

SM: What are your plans after the end of the school year?DS: I wish I knew. Lots of people are calling me up and giving

me ideas about what my plans should be. But I honestly don’t know. I get a year off, and so I think I’m going to take part of that year and just read a lot of the books that I’ve been wanting to read.

I want to redo my course in the politics of healthcare, and so I need to spend some time doing that. I may write a book but I’m not sure. But I honestly don’t have any plans.

All I’ve done this year is say ‘no’ to anyone who wanted to put anything on my calendar.

SM: Recently, the Counseling Center has limited its visits so that students can only go 15 times per academic year. Are there any plans in the near future, that you know of, to increase funding for the Counseling Center to maybe improve the facilities and not have to limit visits?

DS: The counseling center’s decision was appropriate for a uni-versity, and I think that the Hurricane editorial had it exactly right.

They looked at the numbers. Ten percent of the students were eating up most of the resources. ... The Counseling Center is a suc-cess center. ... I think every student will be able to get access to the kind of help they need, and if we don’t have the kind of help they need, then they probably need to find it someplace else. ... But there is a limit, because when you say, ‘we should add resources,’ you’re paying for it. I’m not anxious to increase the student fee for health resources.

PROFILE

STUDENT ORGANIZATION

First-year director works to bridge art, academia

Club aims to eliminate modern-day slavery

Since joining the Lowe Art Museum as its new director in August, Jill Deupi has set her sights on expanding the mu-seum’s perspective.

Deupi plans to add displays that incorporate academic ar-eas like math and science into the exhibits in hopes of attracting a wider body of student patrons. She believes the inclusion of these other areas of focus will raise the interest of students who are not directly involved in the art program.

Deupi’s experience with art includes her time working at Fairfield University in Connecticut as the founding director and chief curator of the Bellarmine Museum of Art. She also worked as an assistant professor of art history at Fairfield since 2008.

She specializes in 18th century European art, neoclassi-cism and museology. As of 2010, she had curated nearly 20 tem-porary art exhibits.

Her desire to work for a larger museum with more artwork led her to the Lowe, where she believes she can find a balance of an academic environment and special galleries. The fact that the museum is located on campus sparked her interest, as its location helps embed it into UM’s community.

“I was looking to move on to a bigger organization, and the Lowe’s scope fit perfectly,” she said. “The Lowe allows us to be more experimental; we can use that freedom to become a laboratory of art.”

Deupi appreciates the chance to tinker with different ex-hibits. She is interested in how the Lowe responds to the school’s curriculum by incorporating certain programs to discuss, write or debate about the Lowe and its art. She also recognizes the

freedom of being part of an academic community where there is a “brain trust” of ideas that she wants to tap into.

Although Deupi just recently joined the Lowe, the art en-thusiast already has plans for the future. She hopes to ensure the stability of the organization and expand to include not only architecture and art history students, but all students with a unique lens or perspective on the world of art.

“Art is a communal language. It is what makes us hu-man,” she said.

Deupi’s passion is already felt by the museum’s other em-ployees.

“She is going to be great for the Lowe,” said Janie Grau-lich, the museum’s visitor services manager. “When I realized how creative she is and how much enthusiasm she has, I knew she was the right person for the museum.”

Senior Jessica Ilias, who serves as the gift shop manager, was similarly enthusiastic.

“Her fresh perspective is bringing more student awareness to the Lowe and more of an outreach to the community,” she said.

Last year, junior David Beltran heard the heartfelt message of Gary Haugen, founder of International Jus-tice Mission (IJM), a human rights nonprofit organi-zation.

This inspired Beltran to establish a chapter of IJM on campus to educate his peers about how modern-day slavery affects the lives of people today.

“What we’re trying to do here is raise awareness,” he said. “We’re raising our voices and raising support to end modern day oppression and injustices. There are people whose land has been unfairly seized by the gov-

ernment and people who are being unjustly incarcer-ated.”

IJM is also partnering with local child advocacy center Kristi House, a nonprofit that responds to child sex trafficking cases in Miami-Dade and aids in sup-porting the victims’ emotional and health needs to con-nect with the outside community.

While IJM’s primary focus is contributing to ef-forts of abolishing modern-day slavery, it also fights for a multitude of issues seen as aggressions against basic civil liberties, including sexual violence, abusive law enforcement practices and governmental property grab-bing.

When he began building the club, Beltran sought the assistance of people from an organization he was al-ready heavily involved in, Campus Crusade for Christ. With their help, he organized a group that was com-mitted to IJM’s goal of improving the lives of those still living under slavery.

“[Slavery] is a huge issue in Miami, in the U.S. and in the world,” said David Duba, a member IJM. “IJM empowers students who are capable in a lot of different ways ... It’s only the first year, and I’m impressed by the energy of the e-board and by the president’s ability to push the new club into existence and get so far.”

Beltran believes that the option of fighting against such slavery and global oppressive forces should be available for UM students.

“The campus really needs this organization be-cause there’s no one else on campus making it their mis-sion to represent modern-day slavery,” he said.

October 16 - October 22, 2014 THE MIAMI HURRICANE NEWS 5

Chad Bernstein, an alum-nus of the Frost School of Mu-sic, is helping provide musical mentorship to at-risk students through the Guitars Over Guns Organization (GOGO).

GOGO is an after-school program that matches local mu-sicians with students at North Miami Middle School and Al-lapattah Middle School once a week to teach music.

Bernstein came up with the idea for the organization while working with at-risk kids shortly after moving to Mi-ami in 2002.

A friend of Bernstein’s, who was a teacher, convinced him to volunteer in local Miami public schools, teaching and performing for underprivileged kids, including kids with disabilities and those in juvenile detention centers. Ber-nstein had always had “an intense desire to do good” and, after having volunteered only a short time, he was hooked.

After graduating from UM in 2006, Bernstein was given a full scholarship to complete his master’s degree. He founded the nonprofit foundation GOGO during this time.

The GOGO program was born out of a strong wish to provide kids with the opportunity to learn how to play mu-sic, an opportunity that Bernstein saw disappearing from school curriculums and budgets.

“With so many of our middle schoolers having never touched an instrument, we feel a responsibility to pay for-ward the same opportunities to be exposed to music that we had as young people,” Bernstein said.

The three components of the GOGO program are mentoring, instrument training and ensemble instruction, which Bernstein sees as equally important in the curricu-lum. Although he believes a structured curriculum is critical to success, he also believes it is important to listen to the kids and deviate from the curriculum when necessary.

Bernstein’s own experience with spontaneous teach-ing occurred when his students asked to go to the beach.

“I asked why they wanted to go to the beach so bad, and they said that they have never been there,” he said. “They live in Miami, miles away from the beach, and they had never been. It broke my heart.”

Gary Lindsay, a UM Frost School professor, the pro-gram director for studio jazz writing and a GOGO donor, has long been a loyal supporter of the organization.

“GOGO is offering these students, through mentor-ship, positive and nurturing role model,” he said. “For some, their music lesson may be the only positive experi-ence for the week.”

Sherrine Mostin, GOGO’s program director, works with Bernstein to develop the curriculum.

While she loves working with GOGO, she admits that working with these kids, who are often emotionally and so-cially unstable, is a challenge.

“One of the most challenging aspects I found was working with the kids who are unruly and disruptive,” she said. “But as one might expect, the ones who are very hard to deal with usually turn out to be the kids who need it the most.”

Mentor volunteering is open to all UM students, and teaching takes place from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday with the possibility of Saturday opportunities in the near future.

USTOP DIABETES

Sponsored by the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies and the American Diabetes Association, the second annual US-top Diabetes event will be raising awareness with diabetes screenings, fi tness activities, healthy cooking demonstrations and healthy snacks. The awareness event is free and open to the public, and will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 22 at the Lakeside Patio.

KATHAKALI DANCE PERFORMANCE

A three-man troupe touring U.S. universities to perform Kathakali, a traditional dance of India, will be making a stop at the University of Mi-

ami. The performance consists of using facial expressions and gestures to tell stories, along with elaborate costumes and dramatic make-up. At 10:30 a.m. on Oct. 22, the performers will be having a makeup demonstration in Room 211 of the University Center, followed by a performance at 12:30 p.m. at the Lake-side Patio.

‘AMERICAN PROM-ISE’ SCREENING

Sundance award-winning documentary “American Promise,” which addresses race in the American school system, will be screened at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 23 at the Cosford Cinema. The fi lm follows two African-American boys as they enter one of the most prestigious private schools in the country. The event, hosted by the University of Miami School of Law, will be fol-

lowed with a lecture by the fi lm’s director in the Student Activities Center Senate Room.

Board chair talkspresidential search

Stuart A. Miller, chairman of the Board of Trustees, appointed the 13 members of the Presi-dential Search Committee that will select President Donna E. Shalala’s successor.

The Miami Hurricane sat down with Miller to discuss the search process thus far.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE: Can you go over the process and how it has been going?

STUART MILLER: Well, we’re at the very beginnings of a process right now. The first part of that process was to assemble a search commit-tee, which you probably noted last week, the search committee was an-nounced. And that is the group of people that are going to be carrying out, under the leadership of Richard D. Fain, the search for our next president.

The process they will go through is a process of first reaching out to various parts of the university and broader community to get feedback – to try to form a view as to the kind of person that would best meet the needs of the university in terms of taking it forward into its next level.

TMH: Correct me if I am wrong, but were you supposed to chair the search committee and then defer to Fain? How does that process work?

SM: I am the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the university. It is a normal process that the chair of the Board appoints a chairman, and then ultimately, as I have done, an entire search committee to take on that search.

October 16 - October 22, 2014 THE MIAMI HURRICANE OPINION 7

STAFF EDITORIAL

Smoking ban needs enforcementIf you ever see clouds of

steam rising from the sidewalk on

a rainy day, don’t worry; that’s just

the humidity. But if you see similar

plumes of smoke emanating from

a person’s mouth here on campus,

you have a right to be concerned.

Sixteen months after the

University of Miami enacted the

smoke-free policy, it is common to

see people lighting up, sometimes

next to no-smoking signs.

Such displays of disobedience

disrespect the administration that

implemented the policy as well the

students, faculty and staff forced to

inhale noxious fumes where they

should be guaranteed clean air.

Yet the steps toward improving the

ban’s effectiveness are shrouded in

fog themselves.

The smoke-free campus pol-

icy places the burden of enforce-

ment on students, faculty and staff,

encouraging them to “directly and

politely inform those unaware of

the policy or remind those in dis-

regard of it.”

Of course, it wouldn’t hurt for

smokers to be reminded of the re-

sources that exist to help them kick

their habit, and Canes, after all,

should care for Canes. However,

case-by-case personal intervention

is not enough to suppress disregard

for the rules.

If the bystander effect demon-

strates the relative inability of indi-

viduals in a crowd to act toward

preventing a crime, how likely is

a person to challenge a stranger

about his illicit cigarette? Hesita-

tion to appear rude, officious, or

to interfere in someone else’s life

choices, even if those choices in-

convenience others, impels many

to avoid face-to-face confronta-

tions with transgressors.

Their overtures would likely

prove ineffective anyway. While

the attention drawn to his indiscre-

tion may embarrass a smoker into

snuffing out his cigarette, there is

little to prevent him from lighting

up as soon as the person issuing

the reproach turns the corner.

The problem does not ulti-

mately lie in lack of awareness

about the ban. “Breathe Freely”

signs posted all across campus

make it difficult to persist under

the illusion that smoking is per-

missible. More likely, those who

choose to break this rule do so be-

cause they have never been made

aware of any penalties that viola-

tion of this ban may incur.

Although smokers should be

informed about dangers to their

health, more immediate repercus-

sions, such as those administered

by law enforcement, would prove

more compelling motivators for

smokers to abstain.

But smokers on campus are

not just flagrant rule-breakers –

they are also victims of an addic-

tive habit. A crackdown by law

enforcement risks targeting the

symptom and ignoring the disease.

In the end, neither gentle

chastisement by individuals nor

aggressive compulsion by police

will suffice to eliminate these vio-

lations. It will take a whole barrage

of extinguishers to stifle the smoke.

HOW DO YOU REACT WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE SMOKING

ON CAMPUS?

Recently, the Miami

Beach City Commission

decided to equip city em-

ployees with body cameras. This

means that police, fire, parking,

code and building inspectors

will be wearing cameras to film

their interactions with citizens.

Many cities have been

pushing for police body cameras,

but outfitting municipal workers

is an unprecedented move for

Miami Beach lawmakers. The

initiative came after allegations of corruption among

public officials and excessive use of force among city

police. Tragic police shootings, especially in Ferguson,

Missouri, were the final push for the unanimous passing

of this action.

This program has been lauded for obvious reasons.

Accountability is necessary, especially in places with a

reputation for police corruption. The footage could also

provide more accurate testimony for crime in court. This

might prove integral in criminal trials because eyewit-

nesses can be unreliable.

On the other hand, this action has caused a lot of

concern. Not only does it violate the privacy of public of-

ficials, it violates the privacy of citizens as well. Police

can use their cameras whenever they please, and that

means constant monitoring of city activity. That is a

scary proposition for many Miami Beach residents. An-

other obvious concern with the program is its cost. The

city allotted $3 million to buy cameras. This cost will

Police must rebuild trust

Critics of the George H. W. Bush

administration’s neoconservative, hawkish foreign policy cite the thou-sands of American causalities, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi causalities and tril-lions of dollars spent as proof of failure.

Barack Obama ran two highly successful election campaigns on promises of being the “anti-Bush.” America would “reset” with Russia, “pivot” to Asia and would no longer engage in wars it deemed reckless or unnecessary in the face of American security.

The administration and its allies have had the audacity to call Obama’s foreign policy a platform based on realism. Clear-ly they misunderstand this term and the history behind it.

Following two horrific world wars, the United States emerged as the world’s sole hegemon; that is, America was the most powerful, most influential and most wealthy country in the world. This al-lowed America to dictate world affairs, global trade and the course of history.

It is easy to criticize the actions of past presidents, but ultimately the Cold War never turned hot, and the dreaded World War III never broke out. Presidents who commanded strength, who had faced down the Soviet Union, who were true leaders, maintained world order.

With Obama’s presidency, we are entering a new dawn. America may no longer be the world hegemon and a mul-

tipolar world may emerge, but what does this mean?

A monopoly on power and military might have kept the peace through the latter half of the 20th century. Conflicts broke out and wars were waged, but ul-timately violence was contained and re-gional actors never seized towards bigger ambitions for fear of American retaliation. This country’s military might and the willingness to use it scared the bad guys away.

The coming troubles that a multipo-lar world will bring are starting to become apparent. Just turn on your TV or pay attention to the news: Russia is seizing a neighboring country, and China is pro-voking and agitating its regional neigh-bors. Both Russia and China are heavily funding, growing and modernizing their militaries while ours is in a state of decline.

America is no longer leading allies in Europe and Asia, leaving them to ques-tion our resolve and commitment to de-fense treaties.

The multipolar world without Amer-ica at its helm will see many more regional conflicts, like the one in Ukraine, creep up. No longer will regional actors behave out of fear of retaliation, and no longer will the balance of power be weighed in democracy’s favor.

To those who wished for American decline, for American retreat from the world stage and for a multipolar world out of anger for our previous president, I con-gratulate you. Your dreams are coming true. I just hope you’re ready to face the consequences.

After events in Ferguson and beyond, police corruption has ceased to be a prob-lem we have the privilege of ignoring. It’s become a deadly threat that can unravel a community. When a neighborhood is on the brink of a similar disaster, there needs to be an immediate patch on the situation to ease tensions. This increased account-ability could provide that patch for the communities that need it the most.

But the fundamental problem with this law is just that. This is a short-term solution to a problem that has been in this country since Jim Crow. It addresses no

underlying causes. Police violence comes from a militaristic mentality.

Many police departments have a culture of viewing citizens and criminals as the enemy, as “other.” A person can be good or bad, a criminal or a victim, never both. The way to truly change this men-tality isn’t by making police feel watched, but to rebuild trust in the community. Pro-grams that get police officers involved in community activities like tending gardens, coaching youth sports leagues and being educational mentors may be more success-ful in repairing this broken mentality.

A massive bridge propels visitors into clear blue skies, mak-ing it seem like there is no land – just water and sun. With the hectic city life out of sight, suddenly the white sand and peaceful shores become more alluring as guests soar above Biscayne Bay and down into a getaway paradise known as the islands of Virginia Key and Key Biscayne.

The ocean and a bridge are all that detach these barrier islands from the rest of Miami, giving them the feel of a faraway haven, despite being only 15 minutes from campus.

Senior Gabriella Canal explained that since the island is sepa-rate from the rest of Miami, the feelings she gets from visiting its beaches are pure bliss and relaxation.

“Knowing that not every single tourist will be invading the beaches and streets makes me really comfortable and at peace,” Canal said. “I go to Key Biscayne because it’s a paradise within

another busier paradise, and I do so when I want to get away, but not so far away.”

Enclosed by Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park and Cran-don Park, the 1.4-square-mile island is surrounded by an invigo-rating mass of nature and water, making it ideal for recreational activities.

Beyond the beaches and parks, the island is home to various local dining and shopping options.

The two most exclusive spots are those inside Bill Baggs Park: Boater’s Grill and Lighthouse Cafe, both of which overlook the extravagant skyline of Biscayne Bay.

In the past few years, Key Biscayne has seen an influx of in-ternational residents, making the island a cultural hub of traditions and customs, thus leading to more diverse dining options.

The island has also raised the bar in terms of coffee shops and traditional French boulangeries, housing more than four coffee

houses that offer classic French pastries and delicacies until late in the afternoon.

Visiting these patisseries has become an islander tradition, making these spots social centers for daily gossip and chitchat.

Kari Madera, a realtor who moved to the island from Hawaii 33 years ago, explained that Key Biscayne is attractive because of its diversity in activities, cultures, traditions and natural surround-ings. She went on to describe what makes the island a true gem.

“The island has no through traffic, it is safe, it has numerous amenities and it makes you feel like you live in an oasis, but just 20 minutes away from true civilization,” Madera said.

It is true the island might eventually loose its charm as it becomes more popular, but for now it remains a hidden treasure within the busy streets of manic Miami.

10 EDGE THE MIAMI HURRICANE October 16 - October 22, 2014

Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy. Boy murders girl. Welcome

to the Sundance Short Film Tour. This past weekend, the Bill Cosford Cin-

ema screened eight short films from the world-renowned Sundance Film

Festival. The movies were extremely diverse, from straightforward story-

telling to ironic pieces perfect for filling that hipster-sized hole in your heart.

The Cosford Cinema will be screening “Jurassic Park” at 9:30 p.m. Saturday. “The Two Faces of January” and “Love is Strange” will screen Friday through Sun-day. Visit cosfordcinema.com for showtimes.

When a sultry rock opera meets a sordid love trian-

gle, the passion and over-the-top emotions explode into

the powerful production of “Murder Ballad,” playing at

the Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre through

Nov. 2.

The Miami Hurricane had a chance to sit down

with Mariand Torres, a University of Miami alumna

who plays the narrator in “Murder Ballad.” We spoke

with Torres about her sassy character, the sexy produc-

tion and why “Murder Ballad” is a cautionary tale.

The Miami Hurricane: Can you tell us a little

about “Murder Ballad” and about your character?

Mariand Torres: So ‘Murder Ballad’ is complete-

ly, fully sung through. So it’s sort of in an opera style; it’s

a rock opera, I guess. A murder ballad is a song, like the

song by The Beatles ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,’ songs

about love gone wrong and love gone awry.

It’s a tradition; it’s a narrative song so ‘Murder Bal-

lad’ is sort of using that form, so we are telling this story,

a tale, of love gone wrong and who dies. And how they

die is a mystery, and I can’t give it away. At the core, it’s

about the things that push us. I think we all have this

part of us that can snap, and it’s about when all of those

inhibitions and all of those filters in us kind of, like, go

away, and the things that drive you to do something

crazy. And my character, I’m the narrator, so I narrate

the story for the audience. That’s about all I’m gonna

say, is I tell the story, I introduce the piece, I introduce

the characters and I sort of lead them through this crazy,

90-minute journey.

TMH: How would you say you’re most similar or

different from the narrator?

MT: I think there’s something kind of fun-loving

about her that I can totally relate to. She’s a sassy girl and

she’s pretty honest and there’s ... yeah, I think there’s a

very fun-loving spirit about her and an intensity that for

some reason I didn’t even know I had until I auditioned.

And I was like, ‘oh ,wow, this is really easy for me to ac-

cess, like, this girl’s intense and it’s easy for me and I like

it and I get it.’ But again, we definitely have our differ-

ences, but I can’t give too much away. I have to be really

careful about what I say.

TMH: Why should students from UM come to this

show?

MT: Because it is nothing like what they have seen

in South Florida. Immersive theater is something that’s

getting really big in New York. There were three big im-

mersive musicals last year Off Broadway, one of them

was ‘Murder Ballad,’ the other was one that I did, Nata-

sha Pierre. I think Actors’ Playhouse is one step ahead

of the game right now, and you need to experience this.

Also, the music is accessible; it’s rock music. It’s not

what you think of when you think of a traditional musi-

cal. It’s really real, it’s really raw, it’s really sexy – you’re

gonna see some hot people. The environment is really

cool ... I mean, it’s set in a bar, and if you get there early,

you can get a seat right there in the middle of the action

and sit there enjoying an awesome show while having a

drink. It’s a really cool experience. It’s really accessible

to young people, I think. I really want to encourage the

younger crowd to come see this because I think they

would really appreciate it.

And I think especially people who don’t know

much about musical theatre and have made their as-

sumption about what it even is. So their minds will be

changed.

TMH: What do you hope people leave the show

with?

MT: Well, I hope they had a lot of fun. And I re-

ally hope they don’t follow the footsteps of the characters

and their actions because they’re not the best ones. But

it’s all about entertainment, and I hope they leave feeling

that was a really awesome hour and a half and ‘I want to

come back because I need to see this again.’

That’s a cool thing because the show is immersive.

Anywhere you sit, you will get a different experience. So,

you sit in one side of the theatre and it’s gonna be a differ-

ent experience, and it will make you want to come back

because you know, ‘oh there’s something that somebody

was doing on that other side, that looked really cool so I

should come back and see it from that perspective.’

I hope they leave having been extremely enter-

tained for an hour and a half. And there’s also some re-

ally beautiful, touching moments. It’s built on relation-

ships and the things that happen to us in relationships,

and relationships gone wrong or the mistakes we make.

So I hope they leave learning what not to do or feeling

understood.

You know, this is a very extreme example of things

that we all go through. So you leave feeling a little under-

stood, like, ‘OK, I’ve seen these patterns in my relation-

ship,’ and it makes you feel a little less alone. But again,

do not try this at home.

Some films are too ambitious,

like “Dawn,” which follows a

young teen in the 1950s. Dawn

is looking for some excitement

in her mundane life and finds

it in the form of an exciting

boy who turns out to be much

more than she’s able to handle.

It’s a terrifying reveal of hu-

man nature, thinly veiled by

the composure of 1950s soci-

ety. But “Dawn” attempts too much for its time slot; it leaves too

many questions and not enough subtleties to understand.

“I Think This Is The Closest To

How The Footage Looked” was

easily the most heart-wrenching

film I have ever seen. The entire

piece was shot with household

objects representing the pro-

tagonist’s family members: he is

played by a door handle, his fa-

ther a pencil sharpener, his sister

a statue of a fairy. He recreates the

scene of his mother’s death, telling the viewers that his father was filming

this exact scene in real life. Though low-budget and incredibly simple, this

true story is so powerful and important.

“I’m a Mitzvah” stars Ben

Schwartz, known for playing

the obnoxiously hilarious Jean-

Ralphio Saperstein in “Parks and

Recreation.” Schwartz reigns

as the unfortunate friend tasked

with delivering a dead friend’s

body from Mexico back to his

hysterical mother. The grief of

adjusting to his friend’s death

coupled with his exhausting jour-

ney back home lends for an odd, comically tragic adventure. Schwartz is

dynamic and on point with his humor. This film is the ideal blend of com-

edy and tragedy. It was a perfect way to end the festival.

Cue the cuteness with “Love.

Love. Love.,” which juxtaposes

scenes of rural Russian life with

voice-overs of people describing

love and relationships at its dif-

ferent stages, from first love to

maturing emotions and old age.

It was absolutely adorable.

WORLDWIDE SPORTS LEAGUES


12 SPORTS THE MIAMI HURRICANE October 16 - October 22, 2014

As Miami enters its bye-week, the ACC as a whole has offered the usual fa-vorites with a side of surprises, so let’s check them out.

Miami: The Canes have a 4-3 over-all record with their win over Cincinnati on Saturday, but are stuck with a 1-2 conference record, and their ACC slate from here on out doesn’t get any easier, although there are two winnable games coming up.

Miami has historically had trouble in Blacksburg when they play Virginia Tech, but next Thursday they go to the Appalachians in search of glory against a downtrodden Hokie squad.

Nothing has gone right for Tech ever since their week two upset at Ohio State; they choked against Georgia Tech and lost to upstart East Carolina (look-ing back now, that isn’t much of a sur-prise.) Michael Brewer’s had a so-so time filling the shoes of Logan Thomas, and although he’s about 100 yards off Thom-as’s senior pace, he’s tied with Wake Forest’s John Wofford with 11 intercep-tions.

Then, North Carolina comes to town on Nov. 1 for homecoming. Don’t mistake their 2-4 record for total medi-ocrity. Although they’d rather forget a home loss to Virginia Tech, sandwiched around that loss were defeats at the hands of East Carolina, Clemson and Notre Dame – not exactly an easy slate.

Carolina’s always been tough for Miami, and while I don’t see that chang-ing, I could see Miami pulling out a 38-34 win.

Surprises: Nothing’s been a bigger surprise in the ACC than Virginia. Al-though a 4-2 record doesn’t seem like anything special, those two losses were to ranked UCLA and Brigham Young University.

They upset Louisville in week three, and really have a very winnable schedule down the stretch, except for the Florida State game, meaning Virginia could eas-

ily be a nine or 10-win team. They con-trol the ACC Coastal right now at 2-0 coming into a matchup against Duke on Saturday.

What’s gotten them there has been the defense – three Cavaliers are in the ACC top 10 in sacks.

Boston College’s Tyler Murphy has also been a breath of fresh air for the pro-gram. Although the Eagles aren’t exactly smelling the oranges anytime soon, the quarterback transfer from Florida has

probably been one of their greatest all-around players in recent memory with 761 passing yards and 711 rushing yards, making him good enough to be the team’s rushing leader.

Disappointments: As fans know, Miami’s been a huge disappointment at 4-3 for the talent that they have.

It’s a stretch to call Louisville a dis-appointment, as the ACC newcomers have only lost to upstart Virginia and Clemson.

They could be the team that upsets Florida State on Oct. 30. Louisville has been much more accustomed to playing on some Thursdays, being former Big East members, than Florida State is, and the game’s in Louisville.

The Cardinals wrap up the season in Notre Dame and then home against the SEC’s biggest surprise, Kentucky, who is currently only one win away from be-ing bowl-eligible and are in contention to take a bad SEC East.

TENNIS

It’s noon on an average Thursday. The University of Miami women’s tennis team practices in the blazing sun. In the corner of the court stands head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews. She balances words of encouragement with a fair amount of criticism as the players run through drills over and over again.

Yaroshuk-Tews has been watching the UM women’s team play since she was a child. She recalls how well the team played and how their greatness inspired her. When she came to coach at UM in 2001, the team was ranked 37th in the country. It was dur-ing her first practice here as head coach that she decided to instill her work ethic on the court into her players.

“Just working our tails off. That’s all we can do,” she said.

That was Yaroshuk-Tews’ mindset when she began coaching. It had been her mindset for years as a player.

Yaroshuk-Tews did not have the best stroke on the University of California at Los Angeles’ women’s tennis team. She was not top-ranked. What made her a great player,

though, was that she worked harder than any-one else. She did whatever it took to win.

“Paige was one of those players that won a ton of matches by working that much harder,” UCLA head coach Stella Webster said.

“She could outcompete anyone.”Other teams were afraid of her on the

court. Even her teammates were intimi-dated, but they were also inspired. She built relationships with her teammates and, as captain, was able to instill her hard-working ethic into them. This trend continues now as she coaches her players.

“Paige has found a way for her team to win just as she did when she was a player,” Webster said. “Her players bought into her philosophy of outcompeting every oppo-nent. Miami is the perfect place for her to use her talents as a coach. She gets as much out of her players as she got out of herself.”

Yaroshuk-Tews does not coach an easy practice. Her athletes are always condition-

ing, always drilling, always playing – always getting better.

“That’s what we’re here for anyway, to get better,” Yaroshuk-Tews said. “Get com-fortable being uncomfortable. If you can per-form when you’re uncomfortable, like when you’ve got 400 people cheering against you at ACCs, you will be successful.”

Success has been reached. Yaroshuk-Tews is the all-time winningest women’s tennis coach at UM. She has brought Miami to the NCAA’s “Elite Eight” six out of the past seven years. In the 2013 season, the Hurricanes won the ACC Championships. Yaroshuk-Tews does not plan for the success to dwindle anytime soon.

“It’s all nice, but it’s not really why I coach. I mean anybody that knows me knows I’m not into all the numbers,” Yaro-shuk-Tews described. “We’re trying to get better everyday. There’s a lot of kids before me dying on the tennis court and buying into my philosophies, and I’m getting the credit. It’s not me, it’s them. Really.”

Even with all of the success, Yaroshuk-Tews appreciates a loss now and again. She feels her team benefits more from los-ing. Their competitive drive, the same com-petitiveness that Yaroshuk-Tews had on the court, forces them to learn from their mis-takes.

“Sometimes we win and get away with a few small mistakes,” Yaroshuk-Tews recalls about a match last season against Michigan. “I don’t think we learned as much from it. I mean, when you have a competi-tive group of girls, you don’t want to lose. But they learn much more and come back stronger after a loss.”

Yaroshuk-Tews’ student athletes love impressing their coach. Stephanie Wagner, who plays No. 1 on the team, chose UM partly because of Yaroshuk-Tews’ coach-ing. The players believe in her and trust that every comment or criticism, drill or punish-ment is given for a good reason.

“I think we’re a really good team be-cause she’s so tough on us,” Wagner says.

“It’s hard sometimes, but it shows that she cares about me and she wants us to im-prove and do better. It’s why we accept her toughness. Her relationship with the team is really good.”

The 2014 season marks Yaroshuk-Tews’ 13th year at UM. She does not plan on letting the upward trend of wins and suc-cesses level out anytime soon.

“This is fun for me, this isn’t work,” Yaroshuk-Tews says with a smile. “The University of Miami is my home. If I’m not at ‘the U,’ I won’t be coaching, that’s for sure.”

The ACC announced that se-nior Savanah Leaf was selected as ACC Player of the Week on Tues-day, two days after she served as a key player in Miami’s 2-0 weekend.

The University of Miami has won an ACC weekly award for three weeks in a row. Freshman setter Haley Templeton was named ACC Freshman of the Week on Sept. 29 and Oct. 6.

Leaf tops the ACC with 4.47 kills per set. Leaf leads the Hurri-canes with 279 kills. She dominated with 25 kills and 14 digs in a four-set win over Syracuse, making her sixth double-double of the season.

“I am really grateful for the recognition,” Leaf said. “It re-ally means a lot to me because it means that I am doing my job well.

I haven’t received it before, so it is really exciting.”

Leaf has been a key player along with Templeton and redshirt senior, Emani Sims, in this year’s successful season.

“I am really happy for Sava-nah,” head coach Jose “Keno” Gandara said. “She is having a great season. She does so many things for this team on the court. Savanah is not only our kill leader, but she is also one of our primary passers.

Savanah also has a great serve and is one of our best blockers. She is playing volleyball at a high level and is getting more and more con-sistent week to week. She had an-other good week and she knows this team needs that from her as a senior captain.”

Leaf set the record for most kills by a Cane at the Knight Sports Complex and tied Karla Johnson for most kills by a Cane in a single match. Johnson set the record on Sept. 3, 2005 against Houston.

Do the dorky ...

This fall break leaves us some free time – and mainly some free time to get ready for the sluttiest, skankiest and sometimes creepi-est holiday: Halloween.

As “Mean Girls” so accurately delin-eates, Halloween is a time for exploring ex-actly how far our skimpy outfits can go. At this rate, girls might as well just say they’re dressing up as Tarzan.

But ladies, I am here to tell you that there is a new way to attract men: “Dorky Wins.”

Think about it, if you dress like Lena Dunham on “Girls,” you will only attract men who want to …1. Get in your pants and then never call you2. Get in your pants and then call you the next day at 3 a.m.3. Piss off their ex-girlfriends4. Piss off their ex-boyfriends5. All of the above

And since I doubt your self-esteem is that low, take V’s patented dorky option.

Think about it; dorks are taking over America. “The Big Bang Theory” is one of the most popular television shows. Chris

Pratt in “Guardians of the Galaxy” was summer’s biggest winner. Engineering ma-jors are more appealing than football players.

So don’t you want to attract an intel-ligent, high-income-potential man who will bake you scones instead of bring you Key-stone?

Time. To. Get. Dorky.FIRST STEP: Watch at least five minutes of the following programs: “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “The League,” “Breaking Bad,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” and “Mean Girls” (for some reason, all men like this movie).SECOND STEP: Don’t be Olaf from the Dis-ney hit “Frozen.”THIRD STEP: Copy the costume of one of the characters from the first step.FOURTH STEP: No, really, don’t be Olaf. Don’t even bother writing about the strug-gles in your diary.FIFTH STEP: Google the best lines from the show and learn them.SIXTH STEP: Just wear big glasses. For some reason, it works.FINAL STEP: Don’t do any of these things.

You’re wasting valuable Netflix time.If there’s one reason being a slutty

nurse on Halloween won’t attract the right demographic, it’s because that’s not who you are.

You are not a slut. If you go to UM, then you are better than that.

The best way to attract the right man is to …… cue Madonna …… express yourself.

You do you, boo boo. That’s all I can say. Your friends will support you because you stuck to your beliefs, and so will men. In fact, you might even attract a man who likes the same crazy stuff that you do.

All in all, just dress up as something you find funny or interesting – a pun per-sonified, Daffy Duck, obscure ‘90s cartoon characters, etc. – and wear it well.

Halloween is the best time to wear who you are on your sleeve so that everyone knows.
