In 1999, The Miami Student reported that a group of students were working to change the Miami University Student Code of Conduct to include sec-tions on sexual assault and sexual harassment. Two students, in conjunction with the Dean of Students, had developed a three-part plan to include new language about these issues. The plan involved workshops for students, examining the code of conduct and presenting to the Adjudicating Sexual Assault Conference in Dallas later in the year.

MU ‘aggressive’ with alcohol violations

BY LORRAINE BOISSONEAULTFOR THE MIAMI STUDENT

Which group on cam-pus has been running laps, spending Monday thru Fri-day practicing and goes to games on the weekends?

Here’s a hint: it’s not a sports team.

It’s the Miami University Marching Band (MUMB), whose members will be making a return tour to perform at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade over Thanksgiving break (the band first participated in 2003).

“Macy’s is very unique,” said Stephen Lytle, the di-rector of the band. “It’s most well known outside the Presidential Inaugural Parade and the Tourna-ment of the Roses Parade. Those rank in the top three of major band events that the general public will know about because they’re always televised.”

The MUMB was select-ed by a committee in New York in April 2010 after submitting a portfolio that included letters of recom-mendation, information on the members of the band

and audio and video clips of the band performing.

Wesley Whatley, cre-ative director of the Macy’s Parade and Entertainment branch of Macy’s, said the MUMB will be the only college band performing.

“Miami has an incred-ible music program. We recognized their quality and commitment to excel-lence,” Whatley said. “What’s appealing about a college marching band to us, and Miami specifically, is there’s the energy level and the playing ability of professional musicians. We want that beautiful commit-ment to excellence. Miami had a perfect combination.”

The application process began about 18 months before the parade perfor-mance will take place, and the band has spent much of that time fundraising. Fund-ing for their trip will come from fundraising, support from the university and other sources and individual student contribution.

Now that the parade is a mere month away, it’s time for the band to buckle down and get to work.

“We did a sight reading of the music back in August,”

Lytle said. The band began memoriz-

ing the music and the drills for the performance in mid-October because they want-ed to focus first and foremost on sports events for Miami University teams.

In addition to prepar-ing the music and the marching, band members were encouraged to do physical training.

“The parade’s long. It’s an hour and a half and six miles … the instruments are heavy, percussion has to play the entire time, we’re marching and playing the entire route ... it’s physically taxing,” Lytle said. “I’m not going to compare it to play-ing a football game, but in its own way you’re on for a very long time.”

Students who are part of the 260-member band have been preparing in a number of different ways.

“We occasionally run during practices and I run every morning because I like running,” said sopho-more Peter English, who plays flute and has been in the band since his freshman

The MOON (Miami Ox-ford Organic Network) Co-op Market is opening to the public Oct. 31 in Oxford. It is the first consumer-owner co-op to be incorporated in Ohio in 45 years, according to the MOON Co-op’s President, Bernadette Unger.

The 3,000 square foot natural foods market will sell locally produced fruit, veg-etables, meat, organic foods, cleaning products and other items. The market is located at 512 S. Locust Tollgate Mall. It can be accessed from the landscaped area next to Little Caesar’s Pizzeria.

“I was very happy when I heard about the MOON Co-op opening in Oxford. I think it will bring in a lot of people because it sells organic prod-ucts, which are becoming in-creasingly popular. I know I would rather invest in organic products rather than processed since they are healthier,” said first-year Lauren D’Errico.

Indeed, the MOON Co-op wants to sell as much lo-cally grown food and goods as possible.

“Our goal is to sustain the local agriculture in our area and provide local and natural food that is top qual-ity and readily available to

Recent data released from Miami University reports shows that Miami has usu-ally has the highest number of on-campus liquor law violations per student of any Ohio school.

In the most recent 2010 report, Miami University had 543 liquor law viola-tions on campus while Ohio University (OU) had 521. This trend is not a new one—over the past five years Miami has proven to have the high-est rates of liquor law viola-tions on campus properties. In 2006, Miami University had 790 liquor law viola-tions on campus, in that same year, the Ohio State Univer-sity (OSU) had 703 of these violations and OU had 1,040 violations according to statis-tics logged by universities in compliance with The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Cam-pus Crime Statistics Act. Both schools have signifi-cantly higher student popula-tions compared to Miami.

Data from the 2008-2009 school year reveals that a li-quor law incident occurred for one in every 27 students at Miami. Comparatively in the 2008-2009 school year, OSU handed down violations for one in every 112 students, while at OU, one in every 46 students experienced a liquor law violation. The three uni-versities represent the highest numbers for liquor law viola-tions in the state for four year, public universities.

Susan Vaughn, Miami’s director of ethics and student conflict resolution, suspects the numbers are largely due to the university’s overall stance on alcohol.

“Alcohol is a huge con-cern and so I would say Miami is fairly aggressive

in dealing with alcohol. We have mandatory sanctions and we have expectations for enforcement,” Vaughn said. “So I actually would expect our numbers would be higher only because of the aggres-sive nature we take with ad-dressing this problem.”

Vaughn said Miami’s numbers vary based on the student body and not based on any changes in policy. She feels Miami is extremely diligent in its dedication to combating alcohol abuse.

“Our policies haven’t changed in years and years and years. Our mandatory sanctions have stayed the same,” Vaughn said. “We don’t ignore it, we don’t give warnings and we don’t fail to document. I think there are certainly schools that have policies that say ‘First time, let’s just warn them, we won’t even make it offi-cial’ and so it doesn’t become a documentation.”

Vaughan said prospec-tive students and their fami-lies should be impressed with Miami’s dedication to

punishing students for alcohol violations.

“I think they would say ‘wow, Miami means busi-ness here.’ Because it doesn’t make a lot of sense why an Ohio State, who is so much larger, would have so few alcohol violations,” Vaughn said. “If in fact they don’t have problems associated with alcohol, I would be surprised. But I certainly can’t speak for them and their enforcement.”

Richard Morman, deputy chief of police at OSU, can comment on their enforcement.

“We have not really changed our enforcement tactics and so that would tell me that maybe less high risk consumption is going on,” Morman said. “We cer-tainly don’t ignore it here. We’re not doing anything less than we’ve done be-fore. I think our effective enforcement and educa-tion efforts attribute to these

Miami’s Phi Delta Theta chapter receives sanctions

Metro alters routes to avoid WBC visitBY SAM kAY

EDITOR IN CHIEF

The Alpha chapter of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity has received sanc-tions from Miami University and its national organization. The Franklin County, Ind. Sherriff arrested about a dozen members of the organization in the early morning of Sept. 11 near Brookville, Ind. Most charges were related to underage drinking. The chapter self-reported the incident to the university and their national organiza-tion, according to Jacob Kingdon, Phi Delta Theta director of chapter services and a member of the Alpha chapter’s advisory board.

“The chapter came to us immedi-ately after the incident and worked with both us and the university on de-veloping sanctions to hold themselves and their members accountable,”

Kingdon said.The national organization placed the

chapter on “province president proba-tion” through this academic year, ac-cording to Kingdon. The chapter still has full voting rights and can recruit new members, but has to fulfill mul-tiple conditions of the probation.

Miami is requiring the chapter to undergo alcohol education. At least 80 percent of the chapter’s member-ship and 100 percent of new mem-bers must attend, according to Susan Vaughn, director of ethics and student conflict resolution. Vaughn said this is the minimum possible punishment for an organization’s first offense involving alcohol.

College to end Blackboard spam emailsBy ursula cauffiEl staff WritEr

Students in the College of Arts and Science (CAS) at Miami University have been bombarded recently with a flurry of emails regarding decidedly non-academic topics. Most of these topics are housing related, asking if people are interested in taking a sublease.

This has raised confusion among students and faculty.

CAS Director of

Communications Nancy Ar-thur gave some clarification to the students. The CAS “listserv” emails people are getting aren’t actually generated from the listserv. They are being sent from the Blackboard organization sites “College of Arts and Science,” which any stu-dent has the ability to send announcements and emails from, according to Arthur.

The major problem is that there are approximate-ly 1,200 sites for the Col-lege of Arts and Science on

Blackboard for each major, minor and subgroup. A lot of these sites were never used, and IT Services has made some of these unused sites unavailable, but not all of them, according to Senior Director of Strategic Com-munications and Planning for IT Services at Miami Cathy McVey.

“According to the Re-sponsible Use of Comput-ing Resources Policy, using the Miami email system for mass unsolicited mes-sages (sometimes referred

to as spam) is not allowed,” McVey said. “The students who used the CAS Black-board email lists were us-ing those lists for personal gain in the cases and that is strictly prohibited.”

Brooke Katchman, a ju-nior in the College of Arts and Science said she was up-set when she got five emails in one day about housing from the college’s account.

“I was annoyed because I take the email system from the College of Arts and Science seriously and now

probably won’t open those emails,” Katchman said.

There has been a miscom-munication between IT Ser-vices and the CAS when it comes to taking sites down.

“IT Services had polled all owners of Blackboard organization sites this sum-mer, in preparation for the move from the Blackboard version of MyMiami to the new MyMiami,” McVey said. “CAS communicated that they did not want to duplicate those sites in the new portal, and were told

that the organizations would be deleted by the end of this semester.”

All of the blackboard sites are being handled this way, and the reason the spam oc-curred is because the black-board problem wasn’t ad-dressed sooner.

It is the college’s plan to remove the unused sites. Because of student inqui-ries regarding the emails, the College of Arts and Sci-ence is planning to resolve this issue by November, according to Arthur.

Homecoming festivities to showcase redHawk pride, spirit this week

Socially conscious fashion comes to Mu

By Emily GlazErfor tHE miami studEnt

It’s that time of year again. The cooler weather, house decorations and influx of alumni can only mean one thing. That’s right, Redhawks, it’s homecoming week in Oxford.

This year’s homecoming week is filled with events for students to participate in, be-ginning with a dessert recep-tion for campus leaders. Team captains, members of ASG, Pan-Hellenic, Program Board and other well-known student organizations were invited.

“The dessert is new this year because we really wanted to do something to show appreciation to student leaders on campus,” said Brianna Picciuto, executive

director of Campus Activities Council (CAC).

The week will continue with a free bonfire hosted by the Residence Hall Associa-tion (RHA). The bonfire will be from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday behind Benton Hall.

“We will have kettle corn, hot dogs, popcorn, s’mores, apples and caramel and other toppings, candy, candy corn, hot cider and hot choco-late,” Rose Kaplan, campus-wide program director for RHA, said.

Wednesday, the events con-tinue with some friendly flag football competition at 7 p.m. at Yager Stadium. Flag foot-ball was a new event last year, and this year, there are two separate leagues: one for girls and one for boys and co-eds.

“This year we have 10 girls teams and 16 guys or co-ed

teams,” said Connor Billing, co-chair for the 2011 home-coming committee. “Girls teams are mostly sororities and it is mostly fraternities and other organizations in the co-ed league.”

There is no event Thurs-day night, in an effort to get as much support as possible at the hockey game vs. Lake Superior State.

Friday, students will have the opportunity to vote for Homecoming King and Queen at Red Fest.

The fest will be from 12-4 p.m. on the Roudebush Hall lawn, and will include free food from Skipper’s Pub and inflatable festival games.

The event that showcases RedHawk pride the most is the homecoming parade, which will begin at 1 p.m. Satur-day uptown and end at Yager

Stadium, where the foot-ball team takes on Buffalo at 3:30 p.m.

“Something new this year for the parade is you can either enter as a float or a walking entry,” Picciuto said.

The list of organiza-tions participating in the pa-rade includes the marching band, fraternities, sororities, other campus organizations and most interestingly, a Miami custodian.

Perhaps it is the exciting events that bring alumni back each year.

Ray Mock, executive di-rector of alumni associations, said every hotel room in the city is already full.

Of the many business organizations on Miami University’s campus, yet another joined the spectrum this fall.

However, what makes Net Impact stand out is its focus on social responsibility and social consciousness.

President of External Af-fairs Katie Brown and Presi-dent of Internal Affairs Ali-son Eicher began Net Impact so that students interested in working for socially respon-sible and conscious compa-nies will have an opportunity to network.

Last week, Net Im-pact held a “Style with a Good Story” themed fash-ion show and a sale of the featured products.

The six companies high-lighted in this event carry ethically produced items.

BeadforLife was one of the companies featured in the fashion show.

According to the orga-nization’s website, www.beadforlife.org, their products are produced out of recycled paper by Ugandan women.

Net Impact raised nearly $200 from this event and the money went directly

to the companies selling the products.

Given the weather condi-tions last week, Brown said they had a great turnout.

This was Brown’s first ex-perience running a fashion show and she said she was very pleased with how the show ran.

All of the members, in-cluding the 16 new students to Net Impact, were able to get involved in some way.

“It was a really great way to include our new mem-bers because I think it was a very involved activity that they could participate in,” Brown said.

Net Impact is still look-ing to expand its member-ship and grow on cam-pus. Students currently go through an interview process to be considered for membership.

Brown said Net Im-pact will be holding more events this year and they are currently planning a speaker event.

While the organiza-tion does not have a speaker yet, they are planning on choosing a speaker from a socially responsible

new director starts at Wilks instituteBy KalEr HazEnstaff WritEr

Miami University has no shortage of leadership organi-zations and initiatives, but the Harry T. Wilks Leadership Institute is looking to paint a coherent picture of those proj-ects with the help of its new director, Eric Buller.

According to Scott Walter, assistant vice president for student affairs, the Wilks In-stitute has been without a di-rector for roughly four years, and many of their long stand-ing, “think-tank” type projects ended this past spring.

“We have all of these great leadership opportunities at Miami, but no way to tie them together,” Walter said.

Buller said a redirection of the institute is exactly what he has in mind.

“There’s a strong desire to provide a central focus for the university in terms of leader-ship development, and there’s a strong feeling that the Wilks Institute should be at the center of that,” Buller said. “[Up to this point] we can-not tell the story of leadership development at Miami. We need to know what has been done, what we are doing now,

and what is being done in the future.”

Of the many initiatives the institute could take, Walter noted that a few were higher in priority than others. Ac-cording to Walter, many of the institute’s initiatives would re-volve around the cooperation of different departments, and the allocation of resources in order to more effectively allow opportunities on cam-pus to reach the majority of students.

“We’re discussing the formation of a thematic se-quence in leadership, and pos-sibly the creation of a minor,” Walter said.

Walter also revealed that the institute has goals in-cluding but not limited to: a more calculated approach to which speakers are featured on campus, different ways to pool resources to maximize value, and a “steering com-mittee” which would focus on presenting leadership op-portunities to students and include members from many different academic areas of the university.

University Honors Program gets national distinctionBy laurEn cEroniE campus Editor

The University Honors Program (UHP) has been recognized by the National Academic Advising As-sociation (NACADA) for exemplary practices. The program, which was re-structured for the 2009-2010 academic year, was

recognized for its advisers’ relationships with students, according to Carolyn Haynes, UHP director.

“The whole program is about personalized advise-ment,” Haynes said. “Our staff isn’t just advising in terms of course selection, they’re helping students de-velop holistically.”

The revised UHP requires students to complete learning

outcomes and experiences in 7 key competency areas (communication, collabora-tion, critical and integrative thinking, inquiry, intercultur-al understanding, reflection and breath of learning) and record the experiences in an online essay portfolio. This makes the program unique and allows advisers to assess how well students are doing, according to Haynes.

Most other advising models consist of selecting courses based on a major, according to Haynes. The UHP model is designed to help students develop both inside and out of their major. NACADA recog-nized the UHP for focusing on student’s holistic de-velopment rather than fo-cusing solely on GPA or course requirements.

Entrepreneurship program receives state recognition By laurEn cEroniEcampus Editor

Miami University’s Cen-ter for Social Entrepre-neurship added another ac-colade to its list of honors Thursday when the Ohio Board of Regents named it an Ohio Center for Ex-cellence in societal and cultural transformation.

Miami’s Center for Social Entrepreneurship is the first entrepreneurship program in the state to be recognized as a Center for Excellence, according to Brett Smith,

director of the Center for Social Entrepreneurship.

“It’s incredible to have support and recognition at the state level,” Smith said.

Smith credited Miami’s focus on undergradu-ate students as part of the center’s success.

“Our focus on under-graduate teaching excel-lence is consistent with Miami’s strengths,” Smith said. “Our faculty has con-tinued to win numerous teaching awards.”

The real world experi-ence students receive is an-other factor in the center’s

success, according to Smith. This real world experience includes internships and stu-dent run businesses, such as the Miami Mergers and the Miami University Student Venture Fund.

The Ohio Board of Re-gents approached Miami several months ago about this recognition, accord-ing to Smith. Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Jim Petro, along with President David Hodge and Farmer School of Business Dean Roger Jenkins, spoke at the ceremony Thursday.

Smith said it’s unclear

what the designation actu-ally means, but he said he expects the recognition will attract students to Miami.

“One benefit will be as students in Ohio look around, this is the only place in the state recognized,” Smith said.

The Center for Social En-trepreneurship started as just one class and has grown into a comprehensive program, according to Smith.

“We’re just getting start-ed,” Smith said. “We see this as a beginning, not an end. We want to be the best program in the country.”

Throughout the past few years, the rate of foreclo-sures across the nation has risen dramatically as the struggling economy has made its way to homes and families everywhere. Butler County is no exception.

According to RealtyTrac Inc., the number of fore-closures throughout Butler County has steadily been on the rise throughout the last three years and one in every 663 housing units re-ceived a foreclosure filing in September 2011 alone.

Carolyn Johnson, the Butler County Clerk of Courts legal division office manager said rates went slightly down in 2008, but skyrocketed in 2009.

“I think the foreclosures are simply results in this economy, people just can’t pay for the property taxes,” Johnson said.

The foreclosures do not always occur on new-er houses, contrary to popular belief.

“When we get foreclo-sures, some people are fore-closing on houses that were paid off for years. Their parents paid for the house but now they can’t pay the property taxes or mortgag-es,” Johnson said.

All types of demo-graphics and people of

different ages, communities and states are being hit by these increasing rates.

“It’s sad, especially with the elderly,” Johnson said. “People just keep losing their jobs, it’s just a bad time. I just don’t think that it will get much better any-time soon. It’s a struggle to hold onto your home these days.”

The rate of foreclosures for Butler County in Sep-tember 2011 was slightly less than the rate in 2010, according to Johnson. Al-though overall, the rate is still on the rise and is un-likely to dramatically de-crease anytime soon.

Joe Palacio, real estate agent for Real Estate Pro-fessionals, based locally in Liberty Township, also doubts that the rate will im-prove in the near future.

“Everyone is so depen-dent on the economical situ-ation and with double digit unemployment rates … un-less that starts getting better, I don’t see any short-term turn around anytime soon,” Palacio said. “My personal opinion is that we’re at least five years out … at least for the next couple years we’ll have high mortgage rates that need adjusted. With the market the way it is, it is just hard for people to pay off their homes.”

The combination of busi-nesses in trouble, high un-employment rates, lack of

jobs and people unable to pay for mortgages have made home values drop. Many people took high-risk mortgages and are now re-setting their mortgages and when the payments go up 20, 30 or 40 percent, it is past the point of being able to afford the homes, accord-ing to Palacio.

Current homeowners are not the only ones worried about the foreclosure rates; future homeowners, includ-ing students, have to think about the rates and econo-my as well.

Miami University sopho-more Matt Kohler said, “It’s scary to think about how now that we’re getting older, we have so much to think about with jobs and housing. We hear about people who are on their feet and have paid off their houses but are still strug-gling. It’s weird to think that we’re just trying to get off the ground and get established and we have to enter into the housing mar-ket at such a bad time.”

Unfortunately, stu-dents and citizens of various ages will face the negative effects of the struggling economy.

“This definitely didn’t happen overnight, but eventually, I think it will pick up,” Kohler said. “For now I think all we can do is wait it out and hope for the best.”

An Oxford woman is fac-ing charges of aggravated vehicular homicide in con-nection to the death of a tod-dler last month.

The incident occurred at an elementary school bus stop the afternoon of Sept. 2.

According to Public Infor-mation Officer Jon Varley of Oxford Police Department (OPD), the bus had stopped to let children off when the boy was hit.

The one-year old’s mother boarded the school bus to look for her five-year old while the toddler stood on the sidewalk with other siblings.

Although the bus’

hazard lights were turned on, Randalla Wright, 29, al-legedly drove her car around it, and continued on through the intersection.

While passing the bus, Wright struck the toddler.

He was taken to Mc-Cullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after.

“I don’t know why she wouldn’t just wait the extra three minutes for the bus to move,” Miami University senior Danielle Lynch said. “Buses have hazard lights for a reason. It’s obviously hard to see little kids when they’re getting off. It’s just so sad since this could have been completely prevented.”

Officers arrested Wright that day after learning she was driving with a

suspended license and had also violated her probation.

Wright has been in custo-dy at the Butler County jail since the morning of Sept. 3, the day after the incident.

“Currently, she’s being held on traffic related of-fenses ... two probation

violations, and aggravated vehicular homicide,” Butler County chief deputy, An-thony Dwyer said.

While in custody for her previous offenses, the pros-ecution investigated the toddlers’ death. Once the investigation was over, the prosecution presented a But-ler County grand jury with charges in connection to the child’s death.

As for why Wright was not charged with the homi-cide immediately, “I would venture to say that if she

wouldn’t have had those charges, they probably would’ve charged her that day,” Dwyer said.

Last week, the jury chose to indict her on the homicide charges.

“The next step will be going to court. She’ll be ar-raigned on the charges and there’ll probably be a trial,” Varley said.

According to Varley, Wright was charged with ag-gravated vehicular homicide, instead of simply vehicular homicide due to the nature of the accident.

“She shouldn’t have been driving in the first place be-cause she was already under suspension,” Varley said.

If found guilty, Wright could face between two and eight years in prison.

Students looking to get their Adderall prescrip-tions filled may need to wait, as Teva pharma-ceuticals, which supplies the drug to local pharma-cies, is not meeting its production quota.

“About the last two months, the manufacturer has had it on backorder,” Charlie Rorig, a pharmacist at the CVS in Oxford, said. “This usually means that one of the ingredients they use to make it is temporarily out of order or batches don’t reach FDA standards.”

Rorig said that most of the time bad batches are sent back and are temporarily unavailable.

“Now they’re not even giving us a date,” Rorig said. “Every now and then some trickles through, and as soon as it comes in it goes right back out. Now it’s a long-term backorder, with no date.”

Rorig said that because Oxford is a college town, the ratio of Adderall pre-scriptions between students and residents is staggering.

“Probably by seven or eight to one or more,” Rorig said.

Adderall, according to Rorig, is a prescription drug

primarily used to treat At-tention Deficit Disorder. However, it has been known to be used for other issues, such as being able to stay awake and alert, as well.

“It’s an amphetamine,” Rorig said. “It causes stimu-lation. Whether all the stu-dents who get it have ADD, or the doctors who are get-ting it for them to study… sometimes the doctors write ‘ADD’ on the prescription and some write [Adderall] and that’s it.”

Miami Student Health Services also confirmed that there has been a recent shortage of Adderall.

Sgt. Jon Varley of the Oxford Police Depart-ment said the police have not had any recent prob-lems with students illegally possessing Adderall.

“On occasion we’ll find students that have Adderall that has not been prescribed to them,” Varley said, not-ing that overall there have been no issues.

In response to the short-ages, one student said that perhaps this would be a time to re-evaluate if someone needs a prescription or not.

“I [sometimes] think it is over-prescribed. You really shouldn’t give out a drug unless someone’s life is be-ing interrupted,” first-year Lisa Tomlinson said.

The 2010 United States census concluded that two cities from the “Buckeye State” have enough residents below the poverty level to make the top 10 list of most impoverished cities in the United States.

Cincinnati and Cleveland were found to have a high number of residents who fell below the $22,314 pov-erty level for 2010 set by the Federal Office of Manage-ment and Budget. The list was compiled gathering all of the cities with populations above 200,000 and find-ing the percentage of people who fell below this national average, as indicated by the Federal OMB.

According to the American Community Survey, Cleve-land made the No. 3 spot

for poorest city with 34 per-cent of its population living in poverty, shadowing only Detroit and San Bernadino, Calif. Cincinnati made No. 7 on this list with a 30.6 percent poverty rate. The percent of poverty for the entire state of Ohio is 15.8 percent.

Economics professor Den-nis Sullivan narrowed this economic issue down to the housing decline and the fact that suburbs surrounding the metropolitan area are not ac-counted for in the census.

If the suburbs were count-ed as part of the city, it would balance out the income levels between the suburban and city dwellers, which would make for a more economi-cally diverse population, ac-cording to Sullivan.

In regards to the hous-ing decline, Cincinnati and Cleveland are both areas that have vacant housing. The

cities are trying to get young-er, higher-income workers to move into to improve their poverty rates, according to Sullivan. Some of Cincin-nati and Cleveland’s counter-cities, like Chicago and In-dianapolis, have to kick out lower income inhabitants in order to bring in the higher income people, which boosts the cost of living in those cities as well. However, Sul-livan states that Cleveland and Cincinnati have enough housing for both.

“Ohio cities have more in-tegrated income rates, though, a more significant number of lower income inhabitants,” TJ Twigg, a first-year economics student at Miami, said.

Ken Silliman, chief of staff to Mayor Frank Jack-son of Cleveland vouched for Cleveland and said Cleveland was the only city in the top 10 that saw a decline from

2009 to 2010. This is because Cleveland is still recovering from the recession and has not bounced back quite yet due to the fact that Ohio’s population has been relative-ly stagnant for the past few years. This also explains Cin-cinnati’s high poverty rate, according to Silliman.

“Both Ohio cities are working toward improving these rates, but at a local level not much significant change can be made,” Silliman said. “Because they do not have the jurisdiction.”

Both Sullivan and Silli-man said this issue cannot be simply dealt with on a local level but the poverty rate is a nationwide problem.

“Poverty is a national problem, the consequences are a local problem and needs to be handled with national policies, not local policies,” Sullivan said.

String of thefts target change machinesBy Sarah SidLoWaSSiSt CoMMUnity editor

Over the past week and a half, three separate in-cidents of theft have oc-curred from change ma-chines throughout Oxford. The machines, located in apartment complexes and laundry facilities on Chest-nut Street, were opened or stolen, and the con-tents were removed. After

initial investigations, the thefts appear to be related, according to Sgt. Jon Var-ley of the Oxford Police Department. The Oxford Police could not give a precise amount of money that had been stolen. The investigation is ongoing, though according to Var-ley, suspects have been identified, and the inves-tigation is expected to conclude shortly.

Female passes out in restaurant, projectile vomits

Male awakes to find car broken into, gPS stolen

Student reports stolen ID, MU bucks falsely charged

Around 1 a.m. Thursday, Oxford Police Department Officers were dispatched to I Love Sushi restaurant regarding a passed out female. When officers ar-rived, they saw the female passed out in the dining area, face down. After waking the female up, they found a small pool of saliva next to her. Of-ficers told her she had had too much to drink. While talking to the officers, she started to projectile vomit, according to police. She confessed to officers that she drank vodka. Officers called an ambulance to escort her to the hospital and on the ride there, of-ficers found another ID in her purse from California. When they ran the ID, it came back as a different person. The female was identified as Miami Uni-versity sophomore Haley Flynn. Flynn was charged with underage drinking, disorderly conduct and possession of a fake ID.

Around 11 a.m. Sat-urday, a male reported to Oxford Police that an unknown subject went through his vehicle over-night and stole his GPS unit and power cord. The car was left with the pas-senger side door open. No damage to the car was found.

Around 8 p.m. Sunday, a male reported to Ox-ford Police that he lost his Miami University ID card somewhere in the uptown area. The victim said he received a notifi-cation via email that there was $50.00 spent on his Uptown Bucks account. It is unknown where the transaction occurred and there are no suspects at this time.

Sunday Night Football assumed an entirely new meaning to one of Miami University’s all male a cap-pella groups, the Cheezies, this past weekend as they performed the National Anthem at a sold-out De-troit Lions game against the Atlanta Falcons. Under the direction of junior Chris Walsh, the Cheezies are affiliated with the Miami Univer-sity Men’s Glee Club and are comprised of 14 Miami students. The group typically performs pop music arranged by group members.

The Cheezies have performed at such events as Cleveland Indians games, Miami RedHawk Hockey games and Mi-ami’s Charter Day Ball. Now, an NFL game can be added to the list. “The biggest thing we hold in our group is re-spect of others. That’s why

we’ve been so successful and are able to land gigs like this,” senior Michael Bearer said. “When I first joined the group, I never would have thought I’d be performing in front of 65,000 people. All of our hard work has paid off.” In order to land this partic-ular gig, the Cheezies sent in an audition tape of their rendition of the National Anthem to the Lions and were then selected to per-form at the game.

Because the en-semble had previously performed the National Anthem, preparation for the Lions game was a matter of perfecting ev-ery facet of the piece. “The biggest challenge is getting the right blend. We have to make sure we are perfectly in tune with good tone and energy, which is key to the National An-them,” junior Sheldon White explained.

All 14 singers loaded into four cars after their Saturday night Glee Club concert and headed towards Detroit, making

an overnight pit stop at White’s house. The group arrived at Ford Field the next morning in tuxedos. “We were ready to do the same thing as Josh Gra-cin, Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland and Katharine McPhee,” White said, ref-erencing artists that had previously performed at the stadium.

“A lot of us are huge football fans and the starting quarterback for Detroit, Matt Stafford, was watching us during sound check. That was pretty cool,” Bearer said. The crowd validated the live performance with overwhelming cheers at the midpoint and end of the piece.

“Walking off the field, my hands were numb. There’s no way to de-scribe this experience. It was so rewarding, so fulfilling,” Bearer said. After the performance, the Cheezies relocated to the stands to watch the game and were greeted with praise for their job well done.

In her final semester as a graduate student, Lexi Marsh is bringing a glimpse of Canadian theatre to a U.S. audience. Marsh is di-recting the department of theater’s second show of the season, Better Living by George F. Walker.

Better Living is about a fam-ily trying to survive in a cha-otic world, a common theme in Walker’s writing. This is the first play of Walker’s actu-ally set in his native Toronto. “It took him 15 years to es-tablish a style that was his, that had defining character-istics that made him a Cana-dian playwright,” Marsh said. According to Marsh, Walker shows the extreme moments of life and those that are

larger than life. The play opens with

Nora attempting to expand her family’s house the only way available to her: down through the basement. As the play progresses, the audience sees the dysfunctionality of a family comprised of Nora, the mother, her three daugh-ters Elizabeth, Maryann and Gail, Gail’s boyfriend and the mother’s brother Jack. The family is upended with the return of the father, Tom, a former police officer who has extreme ideas about how to survive.

“This show is about rela-tionships … not everyone can relate to the dysfunction, but they can relate to how a family learned to take care of themselves. It’s just as im-portant to convey on stage as a smiling, happy family,” said Kelly Diturno, who will

play Gail.Marsh’s thesis is based on

the question “what is Cana-dian theatre?” A native of Massachusetts, Marsh earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto and this question made enough of an impact to carry over to her graduate work. Her research is based on what makes Bet-ter Living a Canadian play rather than an American play.

Marsh’s thesis is the result of her undergraduate experi-ence and has been shaped by what she’s experienced since being back in the U.S.

Marsh cites an article she read on Canadian theatre that was written by a student who claimed that Canadian theatre could pass as Ameri-can if there were a few edits. “I wanted to do the op-posite … find things that show [Better Living is]

Canadian,” Marsh said. She worked off the text as well as collaborating with de-signers to make it as authentic as possible.

Many of the differences

between American and Cana-dian plays stem from the dif-ferences in the upbringing of Americans versus Canadians. “We tend to forget that Can-ada’s a separate country, and it’s not until you’re there that you realize you’re actually in a different country,” Marsh said. The stakes are different for a

blue-collar family in Canada, such as the family in Better Living. “A lot of what defines American is the American Dream. There are expecta-tions, assumed rights, rather

than opportunity. [In Canada], there aren’t the same expecta-tions which lead to different approaches to family, life and struggle,” Marsh said. The cast includes seven ac-tors, nearly all of whom are theatre majors: Grace Cz-erniawski, Brendan Monte, Amber Bryant, Laura Mock,

Kelly Diturno, Adam Kezele and Daniel Carr.

For Grace Czerniawski, a senior, Better Living has been one of the best experiences in Miami University Theatre. “It’s been an amazing show. This character has been a huge challenge … and I got to blend all my skill sets from 131 and 231 [acting classes]. It’s a great way for me to leave the department,” Czerniawski said.

According to Czer-niawski, this show has put together her educa-tion and shown what she’s worked towards in the last four years.

Better Living runs at 8 pm Oct. 26-29. and at 2pm Oct. 29-30 in Studio 88 Theatre, Center for Performing Arts. Get your tickets at the box office. Halloween costumes are welcome.

Oct. 23, Mayday Pa-rade headlined The Noise Tour at Bogart’s in Cin-cinnati, pleasing fans that had been aching to see the group for over a year.

As the show began, lead singer Derek Sand-ers could not have been more excited, as May-day Parade and four other bands were forced to cancel a show at the same venue in October 2010 when a stormy day lead to a leaky roof over the stage.

“We’re so excited to be back and ready to play for you guys,” Sanders said.

On this tour, Mayday Parade was promoting their most recent album release: their self-titled album came out Oct. 4.

“With this album, we were able to get back in the room with just the five of us and create songs that we love and music that we absolutely care about 100 percent,” Sanders said. “That was

kind of the main focus for this CD, just to go back and make it a CD that we love first. As long as we did that, I think that’s what people will see the most and find the most real.”

The group has come a long way from its days of following Warped Tour and selling CDs outside the venue.

“When we started the band, we all loved writ-ing music and creating music and playing it and that’s why we started doing this,” Sanders said. “We wanted to give it a really good try and tour as much as we could and promote our album ourselves.

Early on, then-lead singer Jason Lancaster left the group (later starting Go Radio), and the fivesome went from there.

“When we did our sec-ond album, we kind of strayed from the path a lit-tle bit,” Sanders said. “We had just signed to Atlantic Records and they wanted us to do all of these co-writes and go with a big producer and experience that world which is very different. When you have a whole lot of people who are involved with the creative side of the band, people are telling you what your band should be and what your band should sound like. I think we learned a lot from that experience.”

Fans also enjoyed performances from We Are The In Crowd, You Me At Six and There For Tomorrow.

“We’re very lucky to be where we are,” Sand-ers said. “We’re very fortunate to do tours like these.”

When bands tour, a certain dynamic develops depending on which groups are living in close quarters for a two- or three-month period. For Never Shout Never, the latest tour got off to a rough start.

The Time Travel Tour, named after Never Shout Never’s album released Sept. 20, began Sept. 22 and runs through Nov. 6, stop-ping in Cincinnati Saturday at Bogart’s in Clifton.

“At the beginning of the tour, it was kind of rough for us as a band because we were trying to do a completely a different thing than what we’ve always been doing,” guitarist Hayden Kaiser said. “The vibes were kind of rough. We weren’t really hang-ing out with the other bands that much, but after about the first two or three weeks and getting settled in, we started hanging out more.”

Once the guys started hanging out with other bands more, Kai-ser said things got better. “We’re all just hanging out. Everybody’s having a good time and we hon-estly couldn’t be more happy

with the tour.”The guys are also happy about

the release of their new album, which is very different than al-bums past.

“If you listen to the first one, it’s pretty light, pretty pop-y, kind of cutesy,” Kaiser said. “This al-bum has taken a huge turn from the first album. We tried to go for the biggest sound possible.

We went for huge group vo-cals, huge drums. We wanted to go into it with free minds, open hearts and we just tried to go as big as possible.”

Although the band originally started out as frontman Christofer Drew’s one-man project, Kaiser and and bandmates Caleb Deni-son and Taylor MacFee have been enjoying touring together.

Recent research reveals that Miami University has the highest number of alco-hol citations per student of any public Ohio university. A 2010 report found Miami had 543 on campus alcohol violations whereas Ohio University had only 521. In a 2006 report, the numbers showed that Miami had 790 liquor law violations, while the Ohio State University (OSU), a considerably larger university had 703 on cam-pus citations. The numbers are startling because they as-sociate Miami’s students as students who party too hard and get caught.

The editorial board of The Miami Student regards these numbers as represent-ing a cyclic trend for un-derage drinking. We agree that it is good that we have a high number of citations because drinking underage is illegal. The numbers tell the university that we have a worse drinking culture than schools like Ohio University and OSU.

At Miami, there is a zero tolerance policy for drink-ing underage. Students do not receive warnings. In-stead, students receive cita-tions. Resident assistants and police officers have the ability to write up student violators.

The university has a two strikes policy regarding a student caught intoxicated

or exhibiting negative be-havior involving alcohol. If a student is a first time of-fender, he or she is required to complete four hours of substance abuse education and a comprehensive sub-stance abuse assessment. The student also must pay the cost associated with the class and assessment. If a student commits a second offense, he or she will be suspended immediately.

Moreover, the university implements a three strikes policy if a student violates laws regarding the illegal consumption of alcohol. The first strike includes the completion of two hours of substance abuse education and the payment of the fees for the course. The second strike requires the student take a comprehensive sub-stance abuse assessment and the fees associated. A third offense results in the immediate suspension from the university.

This board commends the university for its steadfast ef-forts to combat the issue of underage drinking, but we contest that more effective programs be financed.

Instead of promoting a no tolerance underage drinking policy, the university needs to strive to make sure stu-dents are safe and are mak-ing good decisions. The two to four hour classes do a dis-service to student violators.

The one-time class lasts too long and only reaches out to students once. If a student is a repeat offender, he or she faces removal from the uni-versity and may not receive the help he or she needs. The university needs to reevaluate the structure of alcohol edu-cation programs. Awareness programs such as Alcohol-Edu do a better job showing that the university is doing something than actually educating students.

This board suggests the university invest in providing individual and group coun-seling services for first-time and repeat offenders. Such an effort will give students the chance to discuss their issues revolving around al-cohol. If counseling sessions are mandatory, students will be forced to deal with is-sues regarding dangerous drinking habits.

Moreover, first time viola-tors need to be scared out of repeatedly abusing alcohol. “Scared Straight” tactics may be utilized as a successful teaching method. These tac-tics work because an individ-ual who once struggled with substance abuse is brought in to discuss his or her former state to stand as an example for students. Overall, the uni-versity needs to evaluate the methods it is employing to better reach students to help lower the number beyond a strong police force.

university needs to restructure alcohol education programs

Could a historical leader be elected President today?

STRATEGICALLY SPEAKINGJESSICA SINK

7TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2011 OPINIONwww.miamistudent.net

The presidential election of 2012 is quickly approaching. Like every election, there is excitement, but also trepida-tion. Whether the winner is the incumbent or a new can-didate, the challenges they will face are numerous in the 21st century.

Throughout history, there have been incredible individ-uals who faced overwhelm-ing odds to achieve success. These leaders are portrayed in history books as exceptional men and women who defied convention to create a better world. One of these leaders is the legendary American Indian Tecumseh.

“Sell a country! Why not sell the air, the great sea, as well as the earth? Did not the Great Spirit make them all for the use of his children?” With these words, spoken over 200 years ago, the legendary American Indian leader Te-cumseh challenged the sup-posed right of white settlers to sequester lands occupied for thousands of years by their Indian ancestors. Tecumseh, the great Shawnee Chief, led, fought and ultimately gave his life in a fight for freedom. Less than 40 years after the founding fathers conducted their own fight for free-dom, Tecumseh’s stand was

equally profound.Leadership appears to have

run in the veins of the legend-ary chief. Tecumseh strove to protect the rights of all Native Americans and to unite them against impending threats. A brave warrior, he was known for his ability to organize and strategize in times of need, evident in the Battle of De-troit in 1812. Tecumseh was a distinguished leader, resisting imposition on his homeland and working for the security of his people. He represented hope and strength in times of fear and uncertainty. There was no possibility, in 1813, the year of Tecumseh’s death,

that an American Indian, de-spite his immeasurable lead-ership qualities, would have ever been considered for President of the United States. Despite his outstanding per-sona, race dominated over character. But, in a hypotheti-cal sense, could Tecumseh be elected today?

The noble qualities Tecum-seh possessed are eagerly sought in candidates for the United States presidency. No one could contest the great strength, confidence and wisdom of this man. In many ways, his fight was not so different from the chal-lenges we face today, with

impartiality an ever-present challenge. Never has there been an opportunity for equal-ity like that in the present age, with the election process more open than ever. Regardless of political persuasion, notions of race or gender precluding an individual from high office continue to be shattered.

Indeed, a leader like Te-cumseh could be elected to-day. Our vision, cleared by the lessons of time, shows an image of strength and char-acter, not race. America con-tinues to evolve and carve its name in history. That evolu-tion has revealed that in order to be grand, America must

embrace its great leaders, re-gardless of their race or gen-der. Tecumseh would agree that men should be defined not by the color of their skin, but by the character found beneath it.

In the approaching election, America needs a leader like Tecumseh, with strength, wis-dom and confidence to guide the country in the right direc-tion. As the United States fac-es uncertain times and great obstacles, all we can hope for is that we will have a leader to depend on who will make the best choices possible for this nation. Only then will Ameri-can continue to be great.

In the past, I’ve had a hard time dealing with open caskets at calling hours. It’s one thing to hear the news that a friend or family member has died, but it’s a completely different experience to actually come face to face with a pale, dead body. I was at some calling hours this past summer and as I sat in line to pay my respects for my friend’s loss, I could tell that everyone around me was anxious and uncomfort-able with what they were about to see. This was not the case however, for some very odd calling hours Saturday in Misrata, Libya.

The calling hours were held for Muammar Gaddafi two days after his death on Thurs-day. As you can probably imagine, the massive crowds that waited all day to see Gad-dafi’s body were not there to pay respects, but to confirm that he was actually dead. I don’t blame them since the people of Libya have been lied to throughout Gaddafi’s entire ruling. They wanted confir-mation that the man who had oppressed Libyans for more

than 40 years was actually dead. Even the videos of Gad-dafi dying on the Internet were not enough proof for some skeptical Libyans.

In an Al Jazeera news vid-eo, some said they traveled all the way to Misrata in order to finally see the man behind the curtain, claiming, “It was im-possible to see him [Gaddafi] or come to the places where he lived.”

The mood at Gaddafi’s calling hours was not what he would have hoped for but definitely what he deserved. There were obviously no flowers and his body lay on a mattress in a refrigeration unit along with his son’s and the former Defense Minis-ter’s bodies as well. People were waiting outside the compound in excitement as if they were about to board a new roller coaster. The only difference was that little kids were in the line to see Gaddafi’s corpse.

In the video, Libyans were asked if they thought it was ghoulish to wait in a line to see an unprepared, rotting

dead body. One Libyan man answered that “after what this guy has done to us and the Libyan people, nothing is ghoulish you do to him.” He later said that he is surprised the people of Libya are treat-ing his body so humanely and

have not cut him to pieces yet. It does not justify how Gadd-afi treated his people for four decades, but I think it’s a great punishment having all of your citizen’s come face to face with you in such a humiliating and pathetic form.

This is not normal in Mus-lim nations because under Islamic tradition, a body is supposed to be buried quickly after passing. This brings up the question of what is to be

done with the body now that this much time has passed. Some of the Libyans figure the body will be buried in a traditional Islamic manner on Tuesday, after all of the legal procedures have passed. I found it surprising that some

were actually concerned about when he and his son would be buried, which goes to show how deeply religious these people really are. I don’t think he is worth the time or respect to even bury. Give his body to the people and let them humiliate his legacy fur-ther more. Make an example out of Muammar Gaddafi and reinforce the fact that a leader is only as strong as his supporters.

I recently spent the week-end in New York City trav-eling to compete against 28 other schools. Seeing these competitors from other schools, it made me take stock of the advan-tages we hold as Miami University students.

This list I compiled is in no way comprehensive, but simply lists the most glar-ing contrasts that Miami students show over students from other schools. I gloss over schools such as Ohio University, Kent State Uni-versity and Eastern Ken-tucky University for obvious reasons. Instead, I focus on the schools that joined my competition in New York. These were the cream of the crop according to US News and World Report rankings: Harvard University, Univer-sity of Virginia, New York University, Duke Univer-sity, Loyola University, Tufts University and others. The advantages that we hold over these schools are as follows.

First of all, we are pretty people. The attractiveness of our student body as a whole is immeasurable. When com-pared to students from other universities, there is no com-parison. Our girls are more beautiful, our gentlemen are better looking and all around we look more aesthetically pleasing. In a world that ad-mits it gives preference to pretty people, Miami stu-dents will have a leg up over the competition. If this week-end is any indication of the student body at schools like Harvard, University of Vir-ginia, New York University and more, the future is bright for Miami students.

The second advantage Miami students have is in their level of rhetoric. On the whole, Miami students are better read and more articu-late than students from other schools. The competition I attended was based on speak-ing and presentation skills. The ability to communicate effectively is vital to success later in life. I am not just re-ferring to communications majors, but history, classics, psychology, economics, fi-nance and political science.

Thirdly, there is an in-creased level of work ethic in Miami students. It was blatantly obvious from my interactions with other stu-dents that many of them feel entitled to the things they have in this life. Not so for

the Miami students I have come into contact with dur-ing my four years here. I do not have to elaborate on the importance of hard work and dedication in life. To know what it takes to be success-ful and to know how to get what you want in life is es-sential. Without it, nothing else matters.

Fourthly, Miami students are showy, but in the right way. What I mean by this assertion is that we are not ostentatious. We do not flaunt our material posses-sions. Instead we smoothly integrate our Sperry’s, North Face clothing and iPhones into everyday life. As I looked around the room I sat in with this hodge podge of schools, the level of osten-tation shocked me. It was analogous to standing on a stage and screaming at any-one who will listen. Could it be effective? Maybe. Does it predispose people against you? Does it call attention to your immaturity and need for attention? Yes, to both of those questions. Miami stu-dents are subtle, we do not tell when we can show and as showed this weekend, we are much more mature.

So in closing, as the foot-ball team begins to accu-mulate wins and the hockey team returns to the top of the college hockey hierar-chy, remember to embrace what makes Miami great. As RedHawks, we have certain advantages that other schools do not. Traits that students from the rest of the country only dream of.

It is our job to continue this trend, to not ruin this reputa-tion. The best thing one can do is to perpetuate the stereo-type, (Yes, some stereotypes can be positive, contrary to what some believe) is to con-tinue building on our reputa-tion. Bask in the glow of our combined excellence. Sleep more soundly knowing that your tuition money is not spent in vain.

In the world we live in, reputation and networking are everything. One attains high standing in this world with help from others and with the traits Miami stu-dents have, others will be fighting over who gets to as-sist in a Miami student’s rise to greatness. Our coattails will be long and spacious, all due to the advantages we have. Not bad for a school in the middle of cornfields.

College is stressful. Whether it’s class, work, ex-tracurriculars, relationships or parental pressure — or maybe balancing them all — we are often subjected to distress. Distress may cause us illness, worsen our atti-tude and waste our time, but it has an effect on our sur-roundings, too. So, what is your stress costing you?

Distress is the negative outcome of change and we all know change is never-ending and unfortunately not always positive. We are constantly trying to adapt to change whether it involves school, finances, death, ill-ness, etc. While we can’t al-ways control these changes, we can learn to adapt in a way that has a less severe effect on our health.

The way our bodies adapt to stress is called the Gen-eral Adaption Syndrome. When stress hits, our bodies move from homeostasis to an “alarm stage.” This is the “fight or flight” response in which we release the chem-icals adrenaline and nor-epinephrine. Cortisol and insulin are then released in the “resistance stage.” The combination of cortisol pro-hibiting the release of fat for energy and insulin trying to regulate blood sugar causes

us an increase in belly fat. This entire process requires tons of energy, which is why we experience exhaus-tion. Long periods of stress from exhaustion, also called chronic stressors, can cost us our overall health.

What is stress costing you?

Perspective: You don’t notice beautiful days or you have your priorities out of order.

Peace of mind: Your mind races and you have no reassurance.

Relationships: There is a strain between you and the important people in your life.

Time: You waste time stressing instead of focusing on positive things.

Productivity: Stress is counterproductive!

Sense of humor: Start laughing and release endorphins.

Overall health: You’re being affected physically, mentally/emotionally, so-cially, spiritually, intellectu-ally and environmentally.

A major step in alleviat-ing this distress is recogniz-ing what we can and can-not control. Responding to a situation, as opposed to reacting, means we under-stand that we have a choice

in how to handle it. Be pro-active and respond to a situ-ation, don’t dwell on it. One way to respond is to change what you can by commu-nicating what is bother-ing you. Or, try reframing it. Look at the problem or situation differently to gain another perspective. If you can’t change it, accept it, let it go and walk away from it.

Try these ways to rid yourself of stress one day at a time:

Triage your day (group-ing things by importance): First, prioritize. What needs to be done immediately and what can wait? Then, orga-nize. Once you know the or-der of your priorities, orga-nize your day around them. Third, eliminate the clutter.

Exercise: It keeps the stress at bay, gives you a sense of control and pro-duces brain cells.

Nourish yourself: Eat stress-busting foods like almonds, broccoli, canta-loupe, blueberries, whole grains and salmon. These boost serotonin levels pro-ducing calmness. Try any-thing high in B-vitamins, magnesium, and vitamins C and E.

Get rid of guilt: Focus only on your two most im-portant priorities and don’t

be afraid to say “no” to other things.

Find inner identity: Make time for what you love when you’re wearing so many hats.

Sleep: Repair white blood cells to boost immunity. Around eight hours is vital and avoid long naps.

Life’s stressors don’t have to come at a cost. If you know how to manage stress, your well-being and your relationships will remain at a healthy level.

Sophomore Kerry McGovern said is pleased to hear there is an organiza-tion like this on campus and said she will attend their events in the future.

“It’s probably a bet-ter cause than some of the other organizations on campus so I think it should get more traffic,” McGovern said.

Brown said anyone interested in applying for membership should contact Alison Eicher at eicheran@muohio.edu

lowering numbers.”Like Miami, OSU logs

and reports the liquor viola-tions of all alcohol abuse cases, an act required by fed-eral law. Morman referenced a long-term effort, beginning in 2003, to create a better en-vironment at OSU football home games as one of the reasons their violations have been in the decline. These efforts, and others beginning around that period, led to a larger university impact, ac-cording to Morman.

“We’ve really changed the culture at these games and around campus,” Morman said. “Are people still drink-ing? We would be naïve to say they aren’t. But the cul-ture here has changed. It’s much more fan friendly and family friendly.”

Andrew Powers, chief of police at OU, said OU is satisfied with the declining number liquor law violations at the university.

“I would say that what we’re seeing is a reduction in high-risk consumption, a reduction in abuse of alcohol and that fewer students are being arrested because fewer students are engaging in be-havior that leads them to be arrested,” Powers said.

Powers served with the Miami University Police Department for 18 years and left three years ago. In that time, he attributes the ever-changing landscape of alcohol consumption fads as one possible reason for the divergent violations.

“Some of the trends that have emerged in recent years, like Four Loko and things like that… I know that OU has been right at the leading edge of addressing some of those developing trends,” Powers said.

Sophomore Deborah O’Neal does not believe that Miami students necessarily consume more than those at other universities.

“Since we are smaller than a lot of schools, it’s easier for police officers to enforce the alcohol rules,” O’Neal said. “Compared to other schools I would guess we just get caught more.”

Nationally, Miami stu-dents may get caught more for liquor violations as well. In 2010, Miami University ranked 41st in the nation for liquor law violations.

OSU junior Mia Zuber has never visited Miami, but knows that students certainly drink.

“Everyone parties here, just like any school,” Zuber said. “There are just so many

people here it’s probably harder to keep track of.”

Ultimately, Vaughn does not find the numbers en-couraging or discouraging and expects varying statistics from year to year.

“I don’t look at them as positives or negatives. If I were a parent or a stu-dent and I was looking for schools, if I saw variations, something that concerned me, whether it was alcohol, drugs, violence, I’d ask ques-tions,” Vaughn said. “I would say it is because we are very aggressive at addressing this problem.”

Powers sees decreased liquor law violations, at least in the case of OU, as a clear positive.

“I can tell you that, from my perspective, and from where I sit in the police department, alcohol abuse and high risk consumption is as much an issue at Miami, as it is at OU, as it is at OSU and every other university in the coun-try,” Powers said. “What I think the numbers show is that Ohio University is being very proactive in addressing this issue. I can’t see how our numbers wouldn’t be a positive.”

Amanda Seitz contributed to this report.

and Sorority Life and Lead-ership, said this has been a learning experience for mem-bers of the fraternity.

“This was a situation that they could have prevented, but they did a good job han-dling it on the back end,”

Levering said.Chapter President Patrick

Burchell said the chapter has put individual members who were involved through a disciplinary process. They will have to do extra com-munity service and maintain higher GPAs this semester, according to Burchell.

Burchell said the chapter

wanted to rectify its errors.“Basically, we wanted to

make sure we’re able to pre-vent an action like this in the future and hold ourselves ac-countable,” Burchell said. “I hope that in the future, orga-nizations will follow our ex-ample and work with the uni-versity in the event that they get in trouble.”

the community as well,” said MOON Co-op board member Gayle Shidler.

The co-op is also concerned with the naturalness of the food they sell.

“Everything on the shelves was selected with the owners’ values behind it. We considered how the animals were treated, the product’s environmental sensitivity and how things were planted,” Unger said.

Currently, the co-op has 560 member-owners. It costs a one-time fee of $150 to become a member-owner of MOON Co-op, which is refundable in accordance with the by-laws and $500 for those who want to invest in preferred stock. However, anyone can shop at this store.

In order to gain capital for the store to open success-fully, many people became member-owners several

years ago. “Those are people who had

faith in something before it ex-isted,” Unger said.

Ernie Cawvey purchased a share in the MOON Co-op six years ago.

“I’ve seen how a co-op can really affect a community when I lived in Michigan, so I bought a share when I was in college here,” Cawvey said. “When I came back to Ox-ford for work, I was so excited about the Co-op that I decided to run for the board.”

Not only does the co-op provide nutritious and natural goods for the Oxford com-munity, but it also supports the local economy by letting the farmers always have a place to sell their meat and produce, according to Shidler.

“A regular outlet for lo-cal farming is such a neat thought. [The MOON Co-op] is promoting locally produced goods. We will definitely shop there,” said Oxford resident Eric Glazier.

Senior Jenna Saponaro is organizing a Food Farm Crawl that will include visits to Locust Run and Artistry farms as well as the MOON Co-op to gather nutritious foods and tour the organiza-tion. Then, the group of about 30 students, faculty and staff will subsequently go to West-ern Lodge to prepare a meal with those local ingredients and learn more about the local food system.

“I hope it will be an eye-opening and learning experi-ence for all who are involved and encourage more people to shop at the [Oxford Farmer’s Market Uptown] as well as the newly opening MOON Co-op,” she said.

The MOON Co-op is also still looking for volunteers. On Wednesday, they will need workers throughout the day starting at 7:30 a.m. to unload delivery trucks. For additional volunteer opportu-nities with the MOON Co-op call (513) 280-5020.

campus and began work this week, said much of the institute’s focus will come from knowing what other organizations are doing and providing a centralized fo-cus that the university cur-rently lacks. He is a retired United States Army veteran, and was involved with Army ROTC at Eastern Carolina University prior to assuming his position with Miami.

Buller mentioned that the office was receptive to his arrival and seemed glad that someone was here to lead the organization, given the absence of a director in the past.

“The end goal for me is that the Wilks Institute is the center of gravity for leader-ship development on cam-pus,” Buller said.

Students on campus said they are excited to hear about leadership op-portunities they can get involved in.

“When I came for my freshman orientation, there were definitely opportunities that you could get involved with, but I don’t remem-ber hearing too much about leadership opportunities,” sophomore Tony Morgano said. “It’s definitely good to communicate those things with the students.”

Sophomore Rocco Bal-dasare agreed, “There’s so much stuff that you can get involved in between Greek life, sports, and classes, it’s hard to know where to start so it’s good that they’re getting the information out there.”

reconnect with student organizations, take part in the parade and attend games,” Mock said.

Joe Gieringer, junior and Delta Tau Delta member, is excited to welcome back the fraternity’s alumni, including his father.

“I think it’s the spirit that makes homecoming memora-ble,” Gieringer said. “Everybody gets really excited for it.”

Gieringer’s sentiment is echoed by Alanah Rayk-ovich, co-chair of the Homecoming Committee.

“We want to make it a week where students and fac-ulty and alumni can come together,” she said. “It’s to re-mind us why we love Miami so much.”

year. “Halfway through September, there was a 5k race in Mason and some of the people in the tuba section went and a few ran with tubas.”

English added that the band practices are harder and that the group must be more focused than ever to prepare for the parade.

In addition to march-ing the parade route, band members will be playing the Miami fight song, Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire,” and the blues tune “Ain’t Noth-ing Wrong With That” by Robert Randolph and the Family Band. While the parade route songs might be more appealing to cer-tain demographics, their

grand finale will be a tune that everyone is famil-iar with: “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” since the band is marching di-rectly in front of the Santa Claus float.

“It’s the prime spot,” Lytle said, who kept the surprise under wraps until announcing it to the stu-dents in early October.

For the students, march-ing in the Macy’s Parade means an exciting trip to New York and the chance to perform for an audi-ence upwards of 40 mil-lion. For the MUMB, the trip means greater prestige and a chance to recruit more members.

“People want to be part of a successful organiza-tion,” Lytle said. “When you point to things such as

the parade, the bowl game we went to last year or op-portunities where they get to do something out of the ordinary, that helps polish your own star.”

Of the 260 members, only about 15 to 20 per-cent come from music majors, Lytle said. The majority comes from dif-ferent majors on campus. All students who partici-pate in the marching band receive two credit hours for their participation. On top of the already-rigorous schedules, this can be a challenging amount of work. But for these band members, the work is well worth it.

English, a math educa-tion major with a phys-ics minor, is excited to be a part of a group that’s

going to be in the Macy’s Day Parade.

“I’ve never been to New York City. I feel honored to be bringing in the Santa float and closing the pa-rade,” English said.

If they learn nothing else from the experience, the students in the MUMB will know that with hard work comes great rewards. They will be joining an il-lustrious list of Macy’s Day Parade bands that stretches back to the pa-rade’s inception in 1924.

“We consider the marching band program one of the cornerstones of the parade,” Whatley said. “You can have a pa-rade without a balloon or a float, but you can’t have one without a marching band.”

Rockets soar past ’HawksBY Jm riEgErstaff writEr

The Miami University foot-ball team gave up three first quarter touchdowns Saturday night en route to a 49-28 loss to the University of Toledo.

The loss drops the Red-Hawks to 2-5 (1-2 Mid-Amer-ican Conference) while the Rockets remained unbeaten in conference play, improving to 5-3 overall (4-0 MAC).

Despite allowing fewer than 370 yards per game to opponent’s offenses this sea-son, the Red and White gave up nearly 500 yards of total offense Saturday to Toledo, while the offense reverted back to its early season strug-gles, picking up only 14 total yards on the ground.

“We waited too long to wake up and to get things clicking [Saturday],” junior center JoJo Williams said. “We didn’t come out ready to play and Toledo was the better team.”

Redshirt junior quarter-back Zac Dysert was sacked five times for the second straight week on Saturday but still managed to com-plete nearly 65 percent of his passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns.

However, the RedHawks once again lost the turnover battle, as Dysert threw two interceptions and freshman wide receiver David Frazier lost one fumble.

“It seemed like every-where we were going they were there,” Williams said. “Toledo’s defense did a great job of being in the right place at the right time. There is no reason the quarterback should get sacked five times.”

Miami is giving up nearly three more sacks per game in their conference games this season, which has cre-ated numerous problems for an offense that has relied almost solely on the pass-ing game through their first seven games.

Defensively, the Red and White were dominated by a Toledo squad that picked up 269 yards on the ground despite only averaging 175 yards rushing per game com-ing into Saturday’s matchup.

“We got away from the fundamentals,” redshirt se-nior safety Anthony Kokal said. “We know some areas that we need to work on. To-ledo is a very good team — they have some very, very good running backs, probably some of the best that we’ll see this year.”

After trailing 28-0 with under 12 minutes remain-ing in the second quarter,

the RedHawks managed to get on the board twice later in the quarter, trailing 35-14 at the half. Neither team scored in the third quarter as both squads traded punts and field position.

Toledo opened up the fourth quarter with yet anoth-er touchdown, which was fol-lowed immediately by a nine play, 60 yard scoring drive by the Red and White, cut-ting the Rockets’ lead back to 21 points. Both teams traded touchdowns in the final three minutes, giving Toledo the 49-28 win.

Redshirt senior linebacker Jerrell Wedge led all players

with 15 tackles including five solo takedowns, while junior safety Pat Hinkel had 11 stops and Kokal and redshirt senior linebacker Ryan Kennedy each had 10 tackles.

Offensively, sophomore wide out Nick Harwell had his fifth 100-yard receiving game, catching five balls for 101 yards. Freshman wide receiver Dawan Scott led all players with seven catches for 140 yards.

Miami will look to bounce back this Saturday when they take on the University of Buf-falo during Homecoming Weekend. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. at Yager Stadium.

The No. 7/10 Miami Uni-versity RedHawks hockey team was swept this week-end by the No. 14 team in the nation, the Ferris State University Bulldogs. The RedHawks lost the first game 4-2 and were then shutout 2-0 in the second.

In the first game, the Bulldogs scored first, on a power play goal by FSU’s Eric Alexander 3:41 into the first period. With 2:39 left in the first period, senior Trent Vogelhuber tied the game on his first goal of the sea-son. Senior Patrick Tiesling stole the puck and found Vogelhuber on a two-on-one breakaway.

Ferris State would take back the lead on a goal 3:25 into the second period. The RedHawks would tie the game on freshman Austin Czarnik’s second career goal three minutes later at 6:31 into the second period. He was assisted on the play by fellow freshman Alex Wide-man, who won a faceoff and passed the puck to Czarnik for the goal. At 6:25 in the final period, Ferris State took a 3-2 lead when Jordie Johnston scored on a power play goal. The RedHawks weren’t able to score again, even though they outshot the Bulldogs 12-5 over the final 20 minutes. Ferris State also added a late empty net goal, making the final score 4-2.

The Red and White out-shot the Bulldogs 28-25 in the game. Goalie Cody Reichard finished the game with 21 saves, compared to Ferris goalie Taylor Nel-son’s 26. The RedHawks

continued their strong pen-alty kill play, stopping two of the five power plays that Ferris State had. However, they went 0-for-5 on their power plays.

After neither team scored

in the first period in Satur-day’s contest, Ferris State’s Travis Ouellette scored on a power play in the second period, just as the Red-Hawks were about to kill a five minute major penalty.

Ferris State would take a 2-0 lead when Cory Kane scored on another power play goal. Penalties were a problem for the ’Hawks, as they had 59 penalty min-utes, compared to only 29

for the Bulldogs. In addi-tion, juniors Garrett Ken-nedy and Curtis McKenzie and Vogelhuber all received game misconduct penalties and were sent to the locker room early.

Goalie Connor Knapp finished the game with 20 saves. Ferris State goalkeep-er CJ Motte finished with 27 saves, good enough for his second straight shutout. The RedHawks once again outshot Ferris State, 27-22. However, they were unable to convert on any of their three power plays and man-aged only two shots during them. Miami continued their strong penalty kill, by killing six out of the eight power play opportunities.

Ferris State’s record now stands at 6-0-0 for the year and 2-0-0 in CCHA play. The sweep drops the Red-Hawks to 2-4-0 for the year and 0-2-0 in CCHA play. This was the first time the RedHawks were shut-out since January 7, 2011 against Ohio State Univer-sity (OSU). It was also the first time they were swept since that same OSU series. The last time the RedHawks started league play 0-2 was in the 2000-2001 season.

The RedHawks will return home as part of the homecoming festivi-ties to face Lake Supe-rior State University on Thursday and Friday with puck drop set for 7:35 p.m. for each game.

Senior Trent Vogelhuber takes the puck behind the Bemidji State University net in the Red and White’s 3-2 victory over the Beavers on oct. 8. Vogelhuber and the Redhawks are looking to get back on track this weekend when they host lake Superior.

Saturday evening, the Miami RedHawks were embarrassed in the two largest sports programs on campus (football and hock-ey) by margins that make me cringe just to look at. Both hockey and football were facing tough, in con-ference, road matchups against very capable teams. Football was matched up against the University of Toledo Rockets, while hockey bore down on the Ferris State University Bulldogs. I am not here to complain about the lack of discipline that both teams portrayed in stunningly horrific losses.

What I am here to talk about is the mood around town on Saturday night. If you were to walk around uptown, visiting any lo-cal establishment ranging from Mac & Joes to Mc-Donalds, or talk to a ran-dom stranger at a bar or restaurant, you would have had no idea that two major sports were playing.

I happened to visit quite a number of places on Sat-urday night, and at ZERO of these places was there chatter about the abysmal performance of either the football or hockey squads post game nor were the games being playing over the loudspeakers. Football was being broadcast on WMSR, Miami’s own stu-dent radio, and hockey was being broadcast on WK-BV-AM (DISCLAIMER: I am on the WMSR Sports Broadcast team and host a sports wrap up program on WMSR).

This is pathetic! There needs to be a renewed sense of commitment to all Red-Hawk teams. Restaurants and bars need to embrace

the local sports teams. Try walking into any spot in Columbus around Ohio State University, a school with football tradition, or in East Lansing around Michigan State University, a school with football tra-ditional mediocrity, and tell me that the game is not on TV or playing over the radio. You will not be able to. There is a different culture at these schools and it is a culture that needs to take foot here at Miami.

I was relegated to ignor-ing my mother (whom I was eating dinner with) in order to make sure I was being updated on both teams performances via my phone, as neither one of the broadcasts were playing over the radio at the restaurant where I was eating.

I ask time and time again about the lack of commit-ment to Miami sports from the student body, but there comes a time when stu-dents need to look them-selves in the mirror and de-cide if athletics are really important to them.

If they are, then stop watching the Univer-sity of Michigan game and demand that Miami be given more coverage when they are at home and on the road.

If athletics are important to this community, which is steeped in athletic tradi-tion ranging from the Vic-tory Bell to the Cradle of Coaches, then stop won-dering about the Universi-ty of Wisconsin score and start wondering about how Coach Treadwell’s team is going to respond from a tough loss. The time for a culture change is now, whether we like it or not.
