The tournament featured nine teams and was scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Originally supposed to include pool play followed by single elimination, the tournament only consisted of pool play due to heat, injuries and time constraints.

2 NEWS THE MIAMI HURRICANE September 28 - September 30, 2015

T he graduate school and the Center for the Humanities in the College of Arts and Sciences presented a panel on the opportunities available to graduate

students in libraries on Friday. It was the latest session in their series of informational sessions and workshops for graduate students, called Ex-panding Career Opportunities for PhDs in the Libraries.

The talk was led by a panel of experts in the field, including Dean of Libraries Charles Eck-man, Associate Dean of Libraries Kelly Miller and UM Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) postdoctoral fellows Timothy Norris and Martin Tsang. The CLIR fellowship allows PhD students to contribute to library work and research while exploring a different career path in the libraries field.

“Here at UM, we’ve had post-grad students working in positions where they not only help us with framing what the library should be doing, but also direct support to our clients in the schools and colleges and help us talk about the future of li-braries and leveraging their skills,” Eckman said.

Sarah Ritcheson is in the final stages of her dissertation on 17th century apocalyptic litera-

ture and like many other graduate students, she has entered the job market hoping to pursue a ten-ure track career. Tenure track means a full-time position in academia that allows for the employee to attain tenure in the future.

“When you’re going on the academic job market, everyone is aware that it’s getting very difficult to find full-time tenure track work in academy, so thinking about alternatives has be-come really important to us,” Ritcheson said. “It’s important to be educated about this.”

The sessions have attracted graduate stu-dents in all stages of their programs, as well as undergraduate students who want to learn more about what a PhD can offer them. Past sessions have included workshops on how to transform an academic CV into a resume and a lecture by Susan Basalla, the author of “So What Are You Going to Do With That?: A Guide for M.A.’s and Ph.D.’s Seeking Careers Outside the Academy.”

“One of the great things about sessions like these is that many PhD students have a sense of what to do as a faculty member, they have a sense of what to do in research and teaching, so what this does is offer tangible reflection on ca-reer aspirations,” Associate Dean of the Gradu-ate School Koren Bedeau said. “That might either expand ideas of what they thought they could do with their PhD, or if they had some questions or doubts about changing whether they want a traditional path in academia or not, know that there are some options out there where they do not have to be so far removed from their skills and their training, as those can be transferable.”

The panelists also explored research oppor-tunities in the libraries and the interdisciplinary

experience that a postdoctoral fellowship within libraries can offer.

“It’s an exciting time in libraries and there are a lot of questions to be answered,” Miller said. “We want to give graduate students a sense of community. We hope the library can be a place where they can meet people of other disciplines, and that they can discover new possibilities for

career paths that they hadn’t seen before that still allow them to pursue their passions.”

More information on future sessions of the series and recorded podcasts of the sessions are available at www.humanities.miami.edu.

The event fea-tured an art theme mirroring the atmo-sphere of Wynwood. Students had a

chance to partake in the art with spray-can painted landscapes, wire-sculpture making and more.

CNL also distrib-uted free tank tops and funnel cake at the event. “For the Love of Art” helped cultivate a greater appreciation of art among students.

September 28 - September 30, 2015 THE MIAMI HURRICANE NEWS 3

President Julio Frenk is get-ting to know the University of Miami through his 100 Days of Listening tour lead-

ing up to his inauguration on Jan. 29. With Frenk’s tenure having started on Sept. 1, students and faculty do not know much about Frenk besides the titles and degrees on his resume.

TMH: What is the biggest similarity between you and your wife, Dr. Felicia Knaul?

You know, it is good to have similarities, but also it is good to be complementary in our differences. The biggest similarity by far is [that] we are both very passionate about service to the community. We are very committed to issues of social justice. Actually, that’s how we met.

Felicia and I met professionally; we were colleagues before we became spouses and we met exactly work-ing on health-related issues. She was working in the country of Colombia ... her doctoral dissertation in the Department of Economics at Harvard was on street children in Bogota, Co-lombia, which is not a very conven-tional topic for a doctoral dissertation at the Department of Economics. But she was very fortunate to have as her mentor Amartya Sen, who years later won the Nobel Prize in economics, and so she was allowed to do that.

I had been invited to Colombia. Colombia had at the time an incred-ibly, very enlightened minister of health who unfortunately died in a tragic accident many years later, but again he had read things I had writ-ten, and he invited me because they were introducing a very important health reform, and I was invited to provide some advice, and that’s where I met Felicia. So we started collaborating, and I said we were first colleagues – and also I liked her very much from the first day I saw her – she and I worked together. So, I

think the work related. We’re both very hard workers and we are both very committed to ideals of service to society and social justice.

TMH: If you could gain any ability or quality, what would it be?

I would like to be able to function with even less sleep, because I just find that being awake is a terrific experi-ence. I don’t sleep a lot, but this is not recent, this is just my constitution. If I could get away with even less sleep, that would be an ability I would love to have, because it is stretching the waking hours.

I do not advise this to students, by the way. This is, I think, is just genetic – I just happen to require very little sleep. But there is ample evidence that sleep deprivation is a bad thing, so I am not advising this to students.

TMH: If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I can tell you that right away because I know it. There is a type of cheese that is produced in the state of Oaxaca in Mexico ... which is a type of cheese where you can take strands of the cheese apart. It is called Oaxaca cheese, but it comes from the Middle East like almost all cheese because I found it also in Turkey. But I could eat that cheese all my life. It is a dry, salty cheese you can produce. Shred the string cheese; that is ex-actly the word. So, that’s probably my single favorite food in the world.

Let’s be Frenk

A fter a year of assembling and orga-nizing, the Armenian Student As-sociation (ASA) is now recognized as an official student organization.

President Mercedes Alvarez-Gechidjian worked with the Committee on Student Orga-nizations (COSO) since January 2014 to get the organization formally recognized. Now that they are official, ASA has big plans for the campus community.

“We want to let the campus know that we are here and to show everyone our beautiful cul-ture,” said Alvarez-Gechidjian, a junior interna-tional studies major. “We want to educate Florid-ians about the Armenian culture. People don’t know where Armenia is, they don’t know what Armenia is about and how rich our culture is, so our main goal is to let them know.”

Events are being planned to expose the cam-pus community to the tradition, events and holi-days that the Armenian culture celebrates. One idea is an Armenian dinner where guests can try khorovats and kebabs, traditional Armenian bar-becue.

“Armenians love meat,” Alvarez-Gechidji-an said of the proposed event.

An Armenian Easter is also planned. Al-varez-Gechidjian wants the organization to be a

home away from home for students, Armenian or otherwise.

Having lived in various places such as Chi-na, Kuwait, India and Mongolia, Alvarez-Gech-idjian, who has Argentinean roots, first came to Florida in 2013 and attended Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. When she trans-ferred to the University of Miami in the fall of 2014, she met many Armenians but found no club to represent them.

“We all knew an Armenian in UM, so we decided to start a club. It was just an idea we had and we went for it,” she said.

While making the club official, Alvarez-Gechidjian and the other organizers still tried to maintain close family ties within the group. They made trips to St. Mary Armenian Apostolic Church in Ft. Lauderdale and began connecting with Florida International University’s Arme-nian club.

“I am happy that the Armenian student body is coming together on this,” sophomore and ASA member Michael Ara Bezjian said. “Being a part of a small community or group that takes care of each other is a part of Armenian heritage. It’s a good way to remind us of our roots when we’re busy with school and commitments.”

The club will still have to do an orientation with COSO to learn what it means to be a stu-dent organization and what is expected of them on campus. However, the club already has plans lined up and a sense of family among them.

Anyone interested in knowing more about their culture should contact the president, Mer-cedes Alvarez-Gechidjian, at [email protected].

4 NEWS THE MIAMI HURRICANE September 28 - September 30, 2015

T he Otto G. Richter Library held its first Book Traces event last Thursday, encouraging attendees to look be-tween the pages of books for the “hid-

den treasures” left behind by past readers.Book Traces first began at the University of

Virginia (UVA) as a nationwide crowdsourcing project that aims to preserve information about unique copies of library books. Like a treasure hunt, Book Traces is about discovering pieces of the past left within old volumes. Searchers discov-er that past readers have left their writing, pictures, letters, flowers and other items between the pages.

Throughout the day, the library opened up the Stacks and invited students to participate in the search. There were also discussions led by Andrew Stauffer and Kara McClurken of the Book Traces project. Stauffer is the director of “NINES” at UVA, which focuses on digitizing and preserving 19th-century print, and McClurken is the director of preservation services at UVA and a principal investigator on the grant that funds Book Traces.

“Book Traces is a project to get students to think about the book as an object and not just a source of textual information,” said Special Col-lections Librarian Jay Sylvestre, who helped orga-nize the event. “All the parts of a book, from the cover, to the illustrations, to any notes added by

readers, tells us a story. Book Traces helps students find and follow that story.”

Marginalia, the unique markings and objects of readers’ past, was documented and uploaded to the Book Traces webpage. By finding and identi-fying unique books and their stories, they can be protected from being discarded as libraries be-come increasingly digital.

“There is a long history of marginalia and annotation going all the way back to the first writ-ten manuscripts,” Sylvestre said. “Special Collec-tions has books dating all the way back to the 15th century that resemble the marginalia we are find-ing here in these books from the 19th century.”

Senior Veronica Andresini found a flower pressed between the pages of an old Shakespeare anthology. Denoted in the margin were the words “Stratford-upon-Avon,” along with the year 1880.

“It was really cool to find that someone had actually placed something from Shakespeare’s birthplace inside the book,” Andresini said.

For Sylvestre, the project is also about pre-serving the history of reading and readers.

“Books are tools, so the way people used books 100 years ago gives us insight into the life they led during that historical period,” Sylvestre said. “The books have anthropological value.”

By participating in Book Traces, students had the unique opportunity to take part in this preser-vation process and to discover hidden windows to the past tucked between the pages of books.

Sylvestre said his favorite hidden gems are the handwritten notes found in pages.

“[One was] a letter inserted into a book in German, with some additional German poetry written with it,” he said. “A second favorite from Book Traces was a book given to ‘Aunt Martha, from Ruby.’ The book has a second inscription ‘To Ruby, in memory of Aunt Martha.’ It’s a sad little note, but a great look at books passing back and forth between family members.”

U niversity of Miami’s First Lady Felicia Knaul delivered a speech at the Women’s and Gender Stud-ies inaugural lunch colloquium in

the Donna E. Shalala Student Center (SC) on Friday, Sept. 26. Knaul spoke to fellows, pro-fessors and other members of academia about her research on global health and breast cancer in low and middle-income countries.

“It isn’t about just doing something about breast cancer. It’s about raising the knowledge in many different areas and fields,” she said.

Knaul, a breast cancer survivor herself, discussed how the poor face a double burden: communicable diseases and non-communica-ble diseases. She said that low and middle-in-come countries account for more than 90 per-cent of cervical cancer deaths because women in these countries often do not have access to health coverage.

“All people should be able to obtain the needed health services without risking eco-nomic hardship or impoverishment,” she said.

Studies show that poorer states in Mexico, such as Puebla or Oaxaca, have a higher mor-tality rate in connection with cervical cancer and breast cancer than wealthier states, such as Distrito Federal and Nuevo Leon.

In an effort to improve health reform, Dr. Julio Frenk, UM President and Mexico’s for-mer Minister of Health, introduced the Seguro Popular, a program for universal health cover-age. This expanded access to health insurance for millions of uninsured Mexicans. However, Knaul noted that this health reform did not in-clude access to morphine.

Knaul believes universal access to mor-phine is essential for a universal healthcare system.

“[Doctors] were able to say, ‘We’ll ship her to Guadalajara, we’ll send her somewhere else, but we can’t offer her the basics of human dignity because this is not included in our health system,’” she said about one of her pa-tients undergoing chemotherapy.

As a result, Knaul started a global com-mission on the inequitable distribution of mor-phine. She has made it her mission to “alleviate avoidable pain and suffering in the world.” She hopes for a report from the commission within the next year.

Knaul also discussed the survivorship challenges for women after cancer. This in-cludes changes in body image perception, fear

or uncertainty surrounding fertility and em-ployment discrimination.

“If they are women, they live this discrim-ination because they’re women,” she said.

The existence of gender inequality in the workforce is only aggravated by the addition of cancer and makes women undesirable to some employers, according to Knaul. To fight this, she would like to integrate survivorship care into the universal health system.

With tears in her eyes, Knaul told her own story of survivorship to the audience. She said that overcoming cancer has turned her into an optimist as well as an “optimalist,” one who hopes for the best but embraces life’s challenges and failures.

The enormity and vastness of her mis-sion to improve financial systems and alleviate women’s suffering has not deterred her.

“I don’t accept that you can’t do anything because you can’t do everything,” she said.

Robert Johnson, a professor of sociology and a medical sociologist in the College of Arts and Sciences, described how the school would be working closely with the College of Arts and Sciences to continue Knaul’s research on policy development. She will catalyze research connections with Latin America and the Ca-ribbean.

“She will be a very beneficial force in driving interdisciplinary studies in terms of the recognition it will now receive on campus,” he said.

Knaul will be giving a presentation about her co-authored Lancet Commission Report on Women and Health on Friday, Oct. 2, in the SC.

A university’s student body is a collection of individuals who seek to learn, create and inno-vate, and student media is one of the best outlets for this spirit of ingenuity. Our campus publica-tions are not only a product of many students’ hard work and creativity, but also a valuable re-source for student readers. As such, they deserve the utmost support from all students.

The Miami Hurricane urges readers to sup-port our fellow publications, Distraction Maga-zine and Ibis Yearbook, in this week’s Student Government elections. Both publications are undergoing a referendum vote to increase the funding allocated from the Student Activity Fee by $1 for each publication. If passed, the increased

funding will help both publications cover printing costs.

Both the magazine and the yearbook are labors of love meticulously crafted by student writers, editors, designers and photographers dedicated to documenting the University of Mi-ami experience with pride and a bit of flair. The professional-grade design and the relevant, smart content in these publications represent the school more than well and speak volumes to what UM students are capable of. Each publication enriches the campus culture in its own way and those who have not yet picked up a copy of Distraction or the Ibis are missing out.

Distraction, which publishes twice a semes-ter, puts a spotlight on arts, culture and leisure. The fun lifestyle pieces even showcase student models. The magazine has a playful, colorful tone that encapsulates the student voice like no other on-campus publication. While hard news is important, having a publication that’s centered around the student culture strengthens a cohesive campus identity and provides insights tailored to our interests at the U.

The yearbook is also crucial to this sense of pride in being a Miami Hurricane. Ibis, created in the school’s inaugural year, provides all students with free, hardcover copies of the yearbook each fall semester. The staff keeps a pulse on student life at UM throughout the year to capture a de-tailed snapshot of student life. The work that Ibis does will be preserved for years to come when we want to share with our families and friends what life at the U was really like. Thus, it must be fully appreciated and supported.

Beyond that, student media, just like any media, owes a duty to the public, and involvement in the student media teaches students the respon-sibility of being good stewards of information.

You, the reader, as a student with a vote, also have a responsibility to fulfill. Take a few seconds to support student media at UM.

Voting is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Monday, Sept. 28 until Wednesday, Sept. 30. Bal-lots can be found on OrgSync at the following link: https://orgsync.com/81696/forms.

Editorials represent the majority view of The Mi-ami Hurricane editorial board.

Ibis, Distraction referendums to reward diligent, creative publications

S tanding in what seems like a nicely de-signed warehouse, leaning against a cold metal railing as the smell of sizzling steak and fresh guacamole tantalize you just

enough to wait through a never-ending line is a gruel-ing experience every Chipotle lover has endured.

As college students who are juggling social lives, academics and extracurricular activities, we are grate-ful for convenience. I thanked my lucky stars when fast-casual dining giant Chipotle recently announced that they would be providing many students, including those at the University of Miami, with a game-chang-ing amenity: delivery service.

In an effort to expand business, Chipotle has partnered with online and mobile food delivery service Tapingo to bring bowls, burritos and more to 40 new college campuses nationwide beginning this fall. UM is the first school in Florida that Chipotle will be delivering to.

The average service fee is $2.99 and the average delivery time is 25 min-utes. This is one of the greatest business decisions both companies could have made. Students will save time now that they no longer have to drive down U.S. 1 for three miles only to wait in line for another 30 minutes. Instead, students, faculty and staff can now continue to be productive as their food is prepared and delivered.

Tapingo delivery is also convenient for students who do not have cars and have to pay for a ride to the nearest location or pray that their friends with cars are generous enough to take them to Chipotle.

This will help Chipotle’s sales boom, which in turn will rake in cash for Tapingo. If the pizza and Chinese food industries are any indicators of how de-livery service will affect Chipotle’s business, than the franchise has a great future in store for them.

Delivery is never quite the same as eating in, of course. Besides the am-biance of the restaurant, there are a few more aspects of Chipotle that will be missed. We will no longer be able to ask servers for just “a little more” sour cream without paying extra. Our meals will also cost a few bucks more, but hav-ing a delicious, fulfilling meal brought to wherever you are is worth it. Now that we have Chipotle, I think it’s time we start working on getting movie rentals, medications and household items delivered to us here on campus.

6 OPINION THE MIAMI HURRICANE September 28 - September 30, 2015

PERSONAL FOCUS

1No one has as many

real friends as they do on social media

Freshman year is basically a mad rush to take as many pic-tures as possible holding Solo Cups in front of American flags at frat parties, so you can show all your friends that you have friends (and weekend plans). There are actually scientific studies that show that Facebook increases anxiety and depression because it shows you – usually untruthfully – how much fun everyone else is having.

Freshmen: don’t be fooled. I thought I was the only one who didn’t have an eat dinner, go out, study group-clique for the first few months of school. When I started sophomore year, almost everyone I talked to said things like, “Yeah, I felt like I had no friends fresh-man year, and honestly, there were times when I wasn’t even sure if I liked it here.” If you feel awkward and left out every now and then, you’re not alone. Just keep your mind open to meeting new people, because chances are there are more people looking for friends than Ins-tagram suggests.

4pieces of candidadvice for freshmen

Those of us with younger siblings know what it’s like to fall victim to our parents’ request to “talk to your sibling, you know she never listens to us.” In my case, my par-ents asked me to sprinkle in college advice throughout the summer to my sister, who started her freshman year this fall at Georgia Tech.

I never thought I would thank my parents for handing the task down to me, but until they did, I hadn’t considered how much my first year had actually taught me. So, young grasshoppers, if you want a cheesy article to tell you that “it goes by so quickly” or “it’s okay to cry,” you can check Facebook for those “18 Things Every 18-Year-Old Girl Should Know” posts. If you actually want to make the most of this year, read on.

2Read the syllabus

In my high school (and I’m going to assume most other high schools), my teachers reminded us about exams a week in advance, took class time to explain what was expected of us on projects and spelled out required readings. You could say I was used to a certain degree of spoon-feeding.

Public service announce-ment: The purpose of a syllabus is that professors won’t have to use class time to remind you of dates. During my freshman year, my pro-fessors would be teaching a lesson and casually throw in a hint about remembering information for the test in two days – to which no one else reacted to while I was breaking out into a cold sweat in the back of the classroom. It took me months to realize that everyone else had taken all their classes’ syllabi (never say that word out loud, it’s gram-matically correct, but you’ll sound like a moron) and written down exam dates, required readings and assignment due dates. You’re ex-pected to be aware of them. Even if you never read one textbook or a word of required reading, at least read the syllabus so you know what you were supposed to have done.

3Boys are not toys

I understand that to some, romance is all about the chase. To others, there’s no need for the chase because, well, Tinder. However, ladies and gents, no matter how long your personal affairs last, no matter what you do or whom you do, don’t play with people. Whether you’re going to hit it and quit it or try for a long-term relation-ship, you’ve got to commu-nicate what you’re looking for. Guys: don’t sleep with the girl who thinks it will turn into something more if you don’t think it will. Girls: don’t lead on the guy who’s tutoring you if you know he’s destined for the friend zone. I’ll be the f irst to admit that a lack of communication ru-ined a lot of my relationships during my freshman year. Use your words. There’s nothing wrong with being a Tinder f iend, as long as you’re matching with some-one whose intentions match yours.

4Clubs on campus before

clubs in Brickell

There will never be another time in your life when your responsibilities are simply to study, make friends and do the things you enjoy. You will realize all too soon that there is absolutely nothing like college, so why not make memories that you can re-member the next day? I’m not against a few nights ev-ery now and then when you and your wolfpack go a little nuts and piece together the night with some Advil the next day. But the majority of your time in college should be spent pursuing experienc-es that will shape you into a better learner, team member and leader. Although college is the only time that you can be forgiven for immaturity, the world is much less for-giving after graduation. Ac-tivities that require you to be over 21 will always be around when you leave college, but the chance to develop into a 21-plus adult will not be.

Avoid stress of driving by using public transportation to explore Miami

By Madelyn PaquetteMadelyn PaquetteStaff Writer

NeighborhoodsBeaches

Museums Entertainment

When you’re craving a classier nightlife scene than Coconut Grove, check out the bars and gastropubs in Brickell, about a 10-minute ride from campus with its own Metrorail station.

If you’re looking for a taste of Cuban culture, the most authentic place to go is Little Havana. Catch the Route 8 or 207 bus from the Brickell Metrorail station. If you’re visiting during the monthly Viernes Cultura-

les (Cultural Fridays) celebration, take advantage of the free trolley service. The Miami Design District is the place to go for high-end shopping and fine dining, so you can take the Route 9 bus from Government Center to experience this haven for luxury.

Pérez Art Museum Miami is the perfect afternoon trip for modern art lovers, and it’s just a short walk away from the Museum Park Metromover station.

For history lovers, HistoryMiami offers an array of exhibitions and tours and is located just a short walk from the Government Center Metro station.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city is Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, an elegant seaside getaway. It’s hard to miss this historic destina-tion, which is perfect for picnics and has its own Metrorail station.

Getting around Miami can sometimes feel like one endless traffic jam. Whether you’re tired of crawl-ing down U.S. 1 or you don’t have access to a vehicle at all, public transportation is a convenient connec-

tion to the best of the 305. With so many exciting des-tinations accessible by Metro, there’s no need for those without cars to feel trapped on campus. Here’s a guide to navigating the city’s public transportation options.

There’s no destination more classic Miami than South Beach. Ride the Metrorail to Government Center, then take the C, S or 120 bus across the bridge to your preferred spot.

For a more scenic beach getaway, take the 102 bus from the Brickell Me-trorail station to Crandon Park, where you can lounge under palm trees on the sand. For an aquatic detour, get off the bus a few stops earlier at Miami Seaquarium.

The Adrienne Arsht Center is Mi-ami’s premiere destination for theatre, dance and classical music. To reach this cultural hub, take the Metrorail to the Government Center Station, then transfer to the Metromover and get off at the aptly named Adrienne Arsht Sta-tion.

Baseball fans can cheer on the home team at Marlins Park by taking the 17 bus from Vizcaya Metrorail Sta-tion.

Head to a Heat game or concert at the American Airlines Arena, which is

easily accessible via the Park West Metromover station. Also check out the nearby Bayside Market-place where you can dine at the Hard Rock Cafe or take a dinner cruise. Catch the Omni Loop mover from Government Center, and you’ll avoid both parking fees and traffic.

The Olympia Theater is a gorgeous, historic space on Flagler Street that also hosts a wide variety of musical artists. Take the train to Government Center, then the Metromover to first street. The the-atre is less than two blocks away.

For a more intimate concert experience, check out Bardot, a Wynwood music club with eclectic shows nearly every night. Take the Metrorail to Allapattah, then catch the 36 Bus to 36th Street at N. Miami Ave.

8 EDGE THE MIAMI HURRICANE September 28 - September 30, 2015

T he Tohoku region of Japan was hit by a natural disaster of massive pro-portions on March 11, 2011. The largest earthquake the country had

ever seen combined with a subsequent tsunami had devastating effects. This horrifying event is the basis for the documentary drama “Tsunami,” currently playing at the South Miami-Dade Cul-tural Arts Center, written by Michiko Kitayama, University of Miami associate professor and cos-tume designer.

Kitayama was immediately drawn to the story because of her familiarity with the area af-fected, where her mother grew up and her father served as state senator for more than 30 years. On top of her personal connection, she felt an artistic obligation to bring the tsunami’s aftermath to life on stage.

“I always feel like theatre is not just enter-tainment,” Kitayama said. “I love doing pieces that have more social messages to the community

or to the world, so I felt compelled to tell the story to people.”

In the spring of 2011, Kitayama applied for the Provost’s Research Awards, a research grant for professors, in order to visit the disaster zone and conduct interviews for the play. She also looked for a partner for the project and found en-thusiastic Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Nilo Cruz.

“It’s been a long time since I wrote my last play, so I felt like I needed somebody’s help,” she said. “Immediately, he’s like, ‘I want to do it.’”

After receiving the grant and spending months planning, the two finally traveled to the town of Otsuchi, Japan in April of 2012, more than a year after the disaster originally hit. To talk to as many people as possible, Kitayama used her connections in the area to schedule interviews in advance.

“They still had fear, a lot of it, but they also started to think back on what really happened to them,” Kitayama said. “But they also had time to mourn people who were gone, so it was interest-ing timing.”

In the interviews, Kitayama tried to draw the real emotions out of her subjects.

“My job was to try to recreate the impact of that moment, the heat of the moment, even though they were thinking back and talking about things a year after,” she said.

After drafting “Tsunami,” the pair did a se-ries of readings to refine the script. However, this process proved frustrating for Kitayama.

“It really didn’t do the justice of what Nilo and I wanted to accomplish with the show,” she said. “It’s a visual journey as well as the text. Our vision was clear from the beginning that it’s not just a documentary drama.”

Once “Tsunami” was workshopped on its feet, Kitayama gained confidence. In an unusual choice for live theater, the production team opted for musical underscoring during the whole play, bringing sound designer Eric Lawson on at the beginning of the process. In addition, they shaved 30 minutes off the script for a more streamlined production.

In rehearsal for the premiere production, Kitayama and Cruz grappled with how best to structure “Tsunami.” In particular, they wanted to capture the unexpected onset of the disaster in the opening of the show.

“It doesn’t have that normal structure of a play,” Kitayama said. “We wanted to have that sort of sudden punch, because normally people come to the theater expecting some peaceful be-ginning.”

They also struggled with how to acknowl-edge the documentary format of the script on stage, eventually opting for a very upfront presen-tation of the source material.

“From the beginning, they’re telling the audience that ‘I am an actor and I am going to play this role’,” Kitayama said. “They are almost borrowing the actual people’s words and repre-senting themselves and their experiences to the world.”

Kitayama hopes “Tsunami” will leave audi-ences feeling uplifted.

“The whole message is very universal. I think that’s why this theatrical piece is very im-portant,” she said. “It’s not about sitting there and getting hit by these hard stories. We still have fear, but I think it gives you the courage that it’s going to be okay.”

T he Hurricanes will go into Thursday’s matchup against Cincinnati with-

out junior receiver Stacy Col-ey, but sophomore receiver Braxton Berrios “feels good” after missing the last two games with a knee injury.

Coley wore a red jersey on practice Sunday, signify-ing his injured status, and Head Coach Al Golden ruled the receiver out for Thurs-

day’s game against the Bearcats (2-2). The third-year receiver out of Northeast High School has battled a left hamstring injury since the preseason and left the season opener against Bethune-Cookman in the f irst quarter. After missing the game against Florida At-lantic on Sept. 11, Coley barely played in last week’s matchup versus Nebraska.

“We’ve just got to get that thing healed. We’ll see how long that takes,” Golden said. “Right now he’s doing good. He’s healing.”

Berrios hasn’t played since leaving the f ield early in the f irst quarter of the team’s season opener when he tried cutting inside for a pass.

“I was scared. It didn’t sound good. It didn’t look good,” Berrios said about the knee injury. “I’m blessed to have it only be a two-and-a-half-week thing.”

After practice, Berrios repeatedly said, “I’m back” and that he is ready to play in Thursday’s game.

Sophomore linebacker Marques Gayot is out in-definitely after a collision in practice Wednesday sent him to the hospital. He is expected to make a fully recovery.

Junior linebacker Jermaine Grace left the Nebras-ka game in the third quarter with a shoulder injury and possible concussion. The third-year linebacker out of Miramar High School was cleared for practice and he’s “ready to go,” according to Golden.

The Canes (3-0) face Cincinnati at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Ohio.

“We’re in the official pool, so these games go into our record and play a role in deciding whether we qualify for the World Cup or not,” said Antonio Matos, a keeper for FIU.

Despite the treacherous rain that Miami has experienced in the past week, the sun shone high and bright, illuminating the colorful jerseys of the players. Florida’s Finest Flamingos had the most distinct jerseys consisting of hot pink and black stripes mimick-ing their name.

As pool play began in the morn-ing, the players quickly realized the presence of an additional competitor that would need to be outmaneuvered: the sun. In order to outplay the heat, freshmen Annika Socha said, “We have to keep a certain mindset that takes our mind off the heat so that we can focus on playing the game. We also continually sub. That’s how we power through it.”

No team was spared from injuries, either. As a contact sport with a mix of elements from rugby, dodgeball and tag, quidditch’s competitive nature was made evident by the ice bags and limps exhibited by multiple players. In the end, these overwhelming factors put the tournament behind schedule and the single elimination portion of the tournament was cancelled.

In spite of the heat and injuries, the teams maintained their spirit throughout the tournament, constant-ly chanting and cheering each other on. Off the field, players lost their competitive flair, engaging in laughter and friendly banter demonstrating the unity created by a love for the unique game.

Miami’s most aggressive game of the tournament was against Florida’s Finest, whom they lost to in the finals last year. Before the game, the Canes huddled in a circle and began to chant, asserting their confidence and spirit on the field. The Canes and Flamingos battled it out, going neck and neck.

“All I was thinking was, ‘Don’t let them catch the snitch,’” Miami seeker Daniel Cantrelle said of the game that was decided in double overtime. “I knew it was going to be a long game, and I knew we had a chance to win, so I kept playing, giving it my all.”

The Canes put forth a commend-able effort, but ultimately lost the game by 10 points with a final score of 160-150.

The Canes regrouped from the disappointing loss to claim victory

against Florida State 110-50. Team captain Bernie Berges made an impres-sive block as keeper late in the game, which led to a Canes’ score. The most stunning play, however, came from the Seminoles when one of their play-ers managed to score by not only get-ting the quaffle through the hoop, but also himself. The Canes ended the game with an impressive snitch catch.

At the end of the tournament, the top teams were Miami at 3-1, Florida’s Finest at 3-0 and Rollins College, also at 3-0. South Florida finished 2-1 and Florida Gulf Coast finished 2-2. FIU and Florida State both ended 1-3 while the Friendly Rainbows finished 1-2 and Central Florida came in last at 0-4.

T he Hurricanes fell to No. 7 Clemson 2-1 on a set piece goal in double overtime at Cobb Stadium Sunday af-

ternoon.Junior defender Emily Byorth

scored the game winner in the 106th minute on a free kick from approxi-mately 30 yards out. Byorth played the ball into the box for a teammate, but it fell to the ground untouched and bounced into the right corner of the net.

“Miscommunication between me and the defense kind of made that sweet spot in between,” redshirt freshman goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce said. “It was a little too far out for me but it went right behind the backline, so it just kind of found its way into the back of the net.”

After an onslaught of shots by the Tigers, the Canes had two chances in-side the penalty box to win it in the 90th minute. Sophomore forward Ron-nie Johnson’s shot from 10 yards out went just left of the net. Moments later, freshman midfielder Ainsly Wolfin-barger got a shot off from the right side of the box, but Clemson junior goal-keeper Kailen Sheridan caught it and the teams headed to extra time tied at 1-1.

Head Coach Mary-Frances Mon-roe was pleased with how the Canes battled the No. 7 team in the country, but was left shaking her head after Clemson’s improbable goal to win it in overtime.

“I’m not sure what kind of goal that is, but as a coach, those are the ones you have nightmares about,” Monroe said.

The Canes struck first in the 12th minute on junior forward Gracie La-chowecki’s fourth goal of the season. Lachowecki collected a loose ball near the top of the penalty box and powered a low shot just underneath the body of Sheridan to give the Canes an early lead.

The goal ended a scoreless drought of over 200 minutes for Miami (3-7-0, 0-3-0) after the team was shutout by Wake Forest and Louisville in the pre-vious two games.

The Tigers tied the game in the 44th minute. Junior defender Jenna Weston tapped in a low cross on the ground by junior forward Paige Reckert from right of the box for the equalizer.

Clemson (8-1-1, 2-1-0) outshot Mi-ami 22 to 8 and controlled possession for most of the match. This was Mi-ami’s second double-overtime game of the season. The team also lost at home against Central Florida 4-3 on Aug. 30.

After the tough loss to Clemson, the team honored U.S. women’s soc-cer team Head Coach Jill Ellis, and the 2015 World Cup winner participated in a soccer clinic for kids on the field.

The Canes next play Notre Dame at 8 p.m. on Friday at Cobb Stadium.

T he Hurricanes’ volleyball team lost to ACC rival Louisville 3-1 in Kentucky on Sunday after-noon.

The teams came in ranked fourth and fifth in the conference, respectively, so it was no surprise how competitive the match was from start to finish. After win-ning the first set 25-22, Miami dropped the final three sets 25-19, 25-15 and 25-21.

The Canes (7-5, 0-2) started off slow with poor passing early on in the first set, but it didn’t take them long to pick up the pace. Despite the game going back and forth throughout the set, Miami consis-

tently kept a two-to-three-point lead over the Cardinals.

Miami took advantage of its strengths, often moving the ball up the middle to get kills. Sophomore outside hitter Olga Strantzali was relatively neutralized in the opening set, largely due to Louisville’s game plan, but other players stepped up in her place to take the set 25-22.

The Hurricanes started off sloppy in the second set, but they maintained their ferocity throughout. The Cardinals did a great job limiting Strantzali as well as keeping Miami’s defense on its toes. Lou-isville’s aggressiveness caught the Canes off guard, frequently tipping the ball to-wards the end of the set for key kills. The Cards won the second set 25-19 to split the best-of-five series at one apiece.

The Cardinals (8-4, 2-0) started the third set exactly where they left off by be-ing aggressive on offense. The Canes had their least effective set here, trailing the entire time, and ultimately lost 25-15.

Substitutes gave the Hurricanes a spark to start the fourth set, but the incon-sistency of the lineups ended up causing confusion for the defense. Miami showed some strong effort towards the end of the

set, even taking a 19-17 lead, but ultimate-ly dropped it 25-21.

Redshirt junior outside hitter Kelsie Groot led the Canes with 13 kills, and se-nior defender Kalysta White had a team-high 11 digs. Sophomore setter Haley Templeton showed her defensive prowess

with five blocks, and senior middle block-er Alexis Mourning led Miami with a .368 hitting percentage.

The Canes face off against Georgia Tech in their ACC home opener at 6 p.m. on Friday at the Knight Sports Complex.

Dear V,Dear V,

One of my goals has always been to study abroad before I graduate. Recently, an opportunity has come up to spend a year abroad in Spain, which would be a dream come true for me as I’ve been studying Spanish since I started high school. However, I’ve been dating my boyfriend for the last two years, and the time spent

apart might hurt our relation-ship. I don’t want to pass up an opportunity like this, but I don’t know if I can be in a long-distance relationship for a year. What should I do?

Sincerely,Sincerely,Afraid of ChoicesAfraid of Choices

Dear Afraid of Choices,Dear Afraid of Choices,

While college is the time of your life when dozens of opportu-nities are thrown at you left and right, it’s also the time when you have to learn to prioritize the things in life that you value.

See if it’s possible for your boyfriend to tag along on the trip. If not, you may have to accept that you’re between a rock and a hard place. But stay opti-mistic. You’re choosing between

the two things that would make you equally happy: traveling or spending more time with your beau.

The first thing you’ll have to do is hash it out with your boyfriend. Sure, discussing these kinds of things can be emotional-ly draining, but if your boyfriend admires your ambition and wants you to achieve your goals, he should respect that you’ve in-cluded him in the conversation.

Decide as a pair between splitting or going long-distance if you choose to go abroad. If you call it quits, understand that traveling will be a bittersweet experience and your tapas may be filled with tears for the first couple of weeks. However, realize that you’d also enjoy the experi-ence of salsa dancing with a new group of guys while overseas.

If you go long-distance, it won’t be easy. Between being un-able to see each other in person

for a year, having to keep each other updated through texts, calls and newly rainbow-puking snaps while possibly running the risk of one of you finding someone else (or worse, cheating), there’s much to fear when you switch to long distance.

Ultimately, the decision of whether you go abroad is up to you. While staying behind with your boyfriend is the easier option, in the end, it’ll lead to re-sentment – you’ll always wonder if you should have gone anyway.

Make the decision that’s best for you and your passport, and let the chips fall as they may.
