2 NEWS THE MIAMI HURRICANE August 24 - August 26, 2015

A s a new member of the University of Miami family, Pres-ident Julio Frenk

was given a loud round of applause when he entered the stage for his welcome address to first-year students during orientation. President Frenk and the students were both in the midst of their first official week as Hurricanes.

“Welcome to the Univer-sity of Miami; I say that to you and I say that to myself and to my family. We are here, along with you, as the newest member of this great community, and I hope you are all as proud as I am to be a Miami Hurricane,” President Frenk said. “I can tell you I’ve held many jobs and many positions, but I would not like to be in any other place in the world more than here today at the University of Miami, and that is because of you.”

The new president urged students to “embrace the life-changing spirit of discovery and take time to discover all we have to offer you at the U and beyond,” especially since this year marks UM’s 90th year.

President Frenk also em-phasized the importance of the knowledge gained at universi-ties and how students must use what they learn to make the world a better place.

“Universities really have a simple product, but it is a very powerful product. Our product is knowledge, and knowledge is a truly powerful force for en-lightened social transformation. It is knowledge about the world that allows us to understand it, appreciate it and change it for the better,” he said.

Returning students, like junior Giselle Cruz, are eager to see what President Frenk will accomplish during his time here, especially since upper-classmen were able to see how UM’s fifth president, Donna E. Shalala, made a difference on campus.

“Shalala started a lot of great things and she set a stan-dard. I think Dr. Frenk can, too, and wants to continue to make the university better,” Cruz said.

Junior Elizabeth Bo-canegra, who shares President Frenk’s Mexican nationality, feels proud to have her roots represented by the president of the university and is confident that he will improve UM.

“I thought he was very gen-uine about his enthusiasm for the school, seemed friendly and very knowledgeable. Knowing about all the incredible things he has done in his career made me feel proud that he’s our new president,” Bocanegra said. “I also think it’s great to see peo-ple of different backgrounds, such as myself, represented at the university.”

Freshmen Keenan Rodri-guez and Briana Nespral had positive first impressions of the new president, and mentioned the value of having a Hispanic leader at such a diverse school.

“I was shocked that he wasn’t American at first, but it’s fitting that someone that’s not from here gets to suit the at-mosphere here at UM … It will be interesting to see how he’ll adapt to the different ways that people interact, and adds to the effect of diversity on campus,” Rodriguez said. “I’m excited to see what he does.”

Nespral looks forward to being a part of a new class with Frenk and seeing how the presi-dent can use his background to make UM a more diverse school.

“Although first strik-ing, his accent was exciting to hear since UM is so diverse. It proves how important it is to be cultural and know people from all over the world,” she said. “I strongly believe that he will be a great president and am looking forward to my time here with him as a Miami Hurricane.”

Welcome address sparks excitement about Julio Frenk

A small crowd formed a line out-side Cosford Cinema Saturday afternoon in anticipation of the screening of “Marshland (La

Isla Minima),” which was followed by a Q&A session with the film’s Goya Award-winning lead actor, Javier Gutiérrez.

The Spanish actor’s appearance was made possible by a partnership between the Centro Cultural Español de Miami and the University of Miami’s Cosford Cinema.

Prior to the screening, Gutiérrez, who plays Juan in the film, said a few words to the crowd. He thanked them for their sup-port and discussed the accolades the film received in Spain.

“Marshland” premiered in September 2014 at the San Sebastian International Film Festival and received critical acclaim. The film went on to win 10 Goya Awards, which Gutiérrez likened to the Oscars in the U.S. These annual awards are presented by the Spanish Academy of Motion Pictures and Arts. The film has won Best Film and Best Director and was the official selection of the festival in San Sebastian, Spain.

Many critics were especially impressed by the film’s cinematography. “Marshland” opens with aerial shots of striking architec-tural geography around the Guadalquivir River at La Doñana National Park in Spain. The film is set in 1980 in a small town in

Andalusia, right after the death of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco.

Gutiérrez plays a police detective with a dark past who is investigating the disap-pearance and brutal murders of two teenage girls. From the start, the audience was vis-ibly drawn to the story, gasping and laugh-ing hesitantly at the dark humor.

According to Gutiérrez, the film goes beyond the basic murder mystery. Its story-line contains more than just a single murder-er; there is a web of deceit and corruption, playing up the political climate of the era. The actor also commented on the invisibil-ity of women in the country’s “misogynistic past.”

Although Gutiérrez’s character was considered the protagonist for investigating the case, Gutiérrez called him a “villain” when asked what most attracted him to the role. It was mostly Juan’s past as a torturer under Prime Minister Franco that eats away at him and causes his violent nature to flare up throughout the investigation. By the end of the film, the character is also involved in the crime, making him an antihero.

“It is a gift for any actor, because vil-lains are always more interesting to interpret because of their edges – their meat,” he said.

The role was a stark contrast to Gutiér-rez’s previous roles, which include a co-medic role on a popular Spanish television show called “Águila Roja (Red Eagle).” He said many fans were shocked that he chose to take on such a complex character, but many were pleasantly surprised.

“As an actor, you try to put yourself in the skin of someone else and some [charac-ters] feel better than others, but I had a lot of help from the great script and director Al-berto Rodríguez,” he said.

Screenings of “Marshland” at Cosford ran exclusively this past weekend, ending on Sunday.

PRESIDENTIAL PEP TALK: President Julio Frenk urges students to “embrace the life-changing spirit of discovery and take time to discover all we have to off er you at the U and beyond,” at the BankUnited Center Wednesday evening.

August 24 - August 26, 2015 THE MIAMI HURRICANE NEWS 3

P resident Julio Frenk and a new class of students are not the only fresh arrivals at the University of Miami campus

this fall. On Aug. 15th, Dean Jean-Pierre Bardet will take over as dean at the Col-lege of Engineering.

Bardet will replace James M. Tien, who held the position since 2007 before stepping down to join the faculty.

Bardet was born in France and edu-cated in engineering at École Centrale de

Lyon before receiving his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the California Institute of Technology. He was most recently the di-rector of the Urban Water Institute at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), where he was also a professor in the De-partment of Civil Engineering. Before that, he worked and taught at the Univer-sity of Southern California for 28 years and founded the Megacities center, which focused on preparing the world’s largest cities for a sustainable future.

He echoes President Frenk’s senti-ments about the university, praising its geographic importance and the growth overseen by President Shalala. During the interview process, Bardet met with Presi-dent Frenk and said he would be using a similar approach to Frenk’s first 100 days in office as the new president: listening to the concerns, desires and goals of stu-dents, faculty and staff.

“Engineering comes from the word ingenuity, ingenious,” Bardet explained when asked about his passion for engineer-ing. “We are creative people. We build things that have never been built before. You can actually go through the inven-

tions of the 20th century, from airplanes, cars, air conditioning – something which is very relevant to Florida. Everything, which has really been the creation of en-gineers.”

Bardet also shared his belief that the product of knowledge in today’s globally connected world is at an all-time high. He added that UM is on its way to becoming a global leader in creating that product.

“We live in a global, knowledge-based economy, where knowledge is going to de-fine the economies in any country … so

the engineers now are poised to deal with much more sophisticated problems than in the past and will have to work and partner with all kinds of disciplines in order to suc-ceed. Engineers will work with lawyers, scientists, architects — all the schools at UM will be working with engineering.”

As director of the Urban Water Insti-tute at UTA, Bardet oversaw a center that aimed to create sustainable solutions to the water-related problems of north Texas. He acknowledged that this work was relevant to water-related issues of South Florida, but said that any proposals for fixing the problems would take time and work.

President Frenk praised Bardet’s pedi-gree in a university press release.

“I am delighted to welcome Jean-Pierre Bardet to the University of Miami to lead one of our institutional pillars of excellence,” President Frenk said. “His extensive experience in engineering, aca-demic administration and community building will help to engage our students, faculty and external partners in transfor-mational learning and research with real-world applications.”

4 NEWS THE MIAMI HURRICANE August 24 - August 26, 2015

B ehind the green barriers around the University Center pedestrian bridge construction site, University of Miami graduate students are in hard hats get-

ting real-world experience with architecture and civil engineering by assisting with the bridge’s construc-tion.

Antonio Nanni is a professor and chair of the department of civil engineering, as well as a research-er of construction materials and their structural per-formance. He and his team of graduate students are working together with Moss construction company to increase the efficiency of the bridge’s construction.

“As a student, for me, it’s really interesting to work on a real application of these materials… so we were really lucky that this year we had a con-struction of this bridge on the campus,” said Omid Gooranorimi, a civil engineering Ph.D student.

They are working with a structural engineer to use bars made of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP), a material researched in the Structures and Materials Laboratory in the College of Engineering, in place of standard steel reinforcements.

“I went to the civil engineering department and had the opportunity to meet and talk with Dr. Nanni… and he encouraged me to work with two Ph.D students in this project on the bridge,” said Carlos Morales, an architecture masters student.

“Deploying the technology we have been working on in our laboratory during the last decade gives credibility to the efforts and accomplishments

of our students and faculty and, as importantly, shows the relevance of UM in addressing the sus-tainability challenges we face as a society,” Nanni said.

According to construction manager Kyle Con-roy, reinforcements are needed because concrete lacks tensile strength, and steel is the material nor-mally used for the reinforcement of concrete.

“Concrete is very strong in compression, meaning that if you push it together, it will push back,” Conroy said. “So it can hold a lot of weight if you stack something on top of it. It’s not very strong in tensile, which means that if you had something pulling it apart, it pulls apart relatively easily. That’s the reason you put steel into the concrete: to beef up the tensile strength. So when you pull it apart, the steel holds it all together.”

However, the team is substituting steel with FRP to decrease corrosion of bridge materials. Gooranorimi explained that the FRP material holds an advantage over steel because it doesn’t corrode, meaning it doesn’t lose its properties in corrosive environments.

Additionally, FRP is advantageous because it is much lighter than steel. This makes the physical labor of construction easier.

“[One guy] can pick up a one-inch thick bar,” Conroy said. “Normally, it takes like three guys to pick up a bar if it’s steel.”

“It really decreases the amount of… energy… and people for handling the same amount of the ma-terial,” Gooranorimi said. “So that’s why this mate-rial is special.”

While the FRP materials will experience some tensile stresses, they are not intended to be the bridge’s structural support system. Instead, they act as reinforcements for the concrete material itself.

“What’s holding up the bridge for the most part are those giant steel beams that go through the center of it,” Conroy said. “What the FRP is doing is holding the concrete together.”

Moss began plans for the bridge after the com-pletion of the Shalala Student Center in spring 2012. Pre-construction for the bridge began in January this year, and workers mobilized on site in late May. The goal to complete the bridge is the end of September.

When it is finished, the bridge will be 13-feet-10-inches wide and 211-feet-7-inches long.

“We are most grateful to the UM Department of Facilities Design and Construction as well as the bridge designer and contractor for allowing us to contribute to the project and look forward to future collaborations on our own campus,” Nanni said.

5 OPINION THE MIAMI HURRICANE August 24 - August 26, 2015

OpinionOpinion

While past President Don-na E. Shalala initiated a mas-sive physical transformation of the campus to make the Uni-versity of Miami a better place for 21st century learning, Presi-dent Julio Frenk must continue that legacy by invigorating the school’s social and academic spheres.

One of the largest chal-lenges President Frenk will face at UM is the lack of ho-listic student engagement in extracurriculars and school

spirit. Whether it is low at-tendance at basketball games or a lack of engagement with Student Government, our stu-dent body seems disjointed and unengaged as a whole, despite the enthusiasm that may have been displayed at Canefest this Saturday.

Many student organiza-tions find it difficult to attract a wide variety of students to their events. Instead, clubs find themselves limited to small niches. While the university boasts over 270 student organi-zations, there is a lack of unity and awareness among different clubs and societies. Achieving a culture of synergistic coop-eration and increased student engagement among student organizations is a goal that President Frenk should keep in mind while working with stu-dent leaders.

The same kind of trans-formation must also be applied to taking pride in Hurricane sports and academics. While Hurricane athletics desper-ately tries to attract students with freebies, food and hype, the stands remain disappoint-ingly empty. Though the Miller School of Medicine and UHealth are the pride of South Florida, improving other de-partments on the undergradu-ate campus are necessary for a well-rounded academic institu-tion that students and faculty are proud to be a part of. If President Frenk can somehow get students riled up in the stands as well as in the class-room during his tenure here, he will have accomplished a significant feat.

Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hurricane editorial board.

T he fresh-faced class of 2019 was rudely awo-ken by several trampling incidents that occurred

at the annual Canefest on Saturday. The event, attended by over 2,000 freshmen and upperclassmen, was overrun by “crazy kids who just really wanted free stuff,” said one distraught source who had been knocked to the ground for the last Whole Foods goodie bag.

By the time the University of Miami riot police got on the scene, there were over 100 injured students and even more freshmen sulking about missing out on free Shake Shack custard.

“It appears that the sheer volume of students desperate for free stuff overwhelmed the limited space in the BUC,” said one officer who managed to make it to the main floor

after waiting in line and having flyers shoved in his face for 45 minutes. “Students have been sent to the ER with bruis-es and some broken bones after the uncontrolled chaos we witnessed here tonight.”

The Canes Emergency Response Team (CERT) was baffled by the sheer number of injuries they had to attend to before EMTs and UM physicians arrived on the scene.

“People started getting knocked into tables, pushed onto the ground,” one club representative said. “We kind of had to wake up, like woah – this is not a drill.”

Not all is gloom and doom, however. Club presidents reported extreme satisfaction at the end of the event, averag-ing 150 names on their email sign-up lists.

“I’m so impressed with how today went,” said the president of UM Dungeons and Dragons as club officers packed up the stacks of empty Domino’s Pizza boxes at their table. “We’ve never gotten so much interest before! Looks like I’ll have to find a bigger venue for our weekly meetings.”

8 SPORTS THE MIAMI HURRICANE August 24 - August 26, 2015

I n 2015, the Hurri-canes baseball team had its best season in years. The Canes

won 50 games, ran away with the ACC Coastal divi-sion title and went to the College World Series for the first time since 2008.

Such a successful season requires every member of the team to contribute, but five players stood out and played their way into the major leagues.

Andrew Suarez was the first Cane selected in the 2015 MLB First-Year Player Draft held in June. He was previously selected in 2014, but he opted to come back to school for another year.

The San Francisco Gi-ants selected the left-handed pitcher with the 61st overall pick in the second round.

Suarez is already the No. 15-ranked prospect in the Gi-ants’ farm system, according to the team’s website, and is 1-0 with a 1.27 ERA after his first nine starts.

The New York Mets selected David Thompson, who led the country in RBIs (90) last season, with the 119th overall pick in the fourth round.

Thompson became Mi-ami’s first winner of the ACC Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year award in 2015, and earned first-team All-Amer-

ica honors from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.

The third baseman is currently the 20th-rated pros-pect in the Mets’ farm system and is hitting .228 with three home runs over his first 50 games.

After capturing the ACC’s batting title with a .391 batting average last sea-son, George Iskenderian was chosen No. 211 overall by the Milwaukee Brewers in the seventh round.

The infielder is hitting .330 with eight stolen bases after 30 games.

The Los Angeles Dodg-ers rewarded Garrett Ken-nedy’s breakout season in his senior year with the No. 432 overall pick in the 14th round.

After a disappointing 2014 campaign, Kennedy hit .329 with seven home runs and 51 RBIs as a catcher. Kennedy is currently hitting .250 with 13 RBIs through 26 games.

Outfielder Ricky Eu-sebio was the fifth and final Cane selected in the 2015 MLB draft.

The Seattle Mariners picked up Miami’s leadoff hitter with the No. 485 over-all pick in the 16th round. Eusebio is hitting .261 with nine stolen bases after his first 37 games in the minors.

C atalina Perez spent all of last season recovering from surgery on a torn ACL in her left knee, but

she had plenty of motivation to get back on the field.

The redshirt sophomore goal-keeper needed to be ready by Febru-ary, when preparation camps would begin for the Colombian women’s national soccer team. The Women’s World Cup started in June, and Per-ez intended to be on the final roster.

After an intense four months of training, Perez made the team as one of three goalkeepers.

“It was a long and stressful pro-cess. Thus, when the final list was announced and I was on it, it was very rewarding,” Perez stated in an email Friday night.

Colombia did not have a start-ing goalkeeper in place entering the tournament, giving Perez a chance to play on the sport’s biggest stage. After sitting out the first three games for Colombia in the group stage, Perez started in the round of 16 match against the eventual champion, the United States team.

“My mindset going into the game was that it was going to be a very difficult game, but that the U.S. players are people just like on my team,” Perez said. “I needed to believe in my teammates and myself and go for the win. You will not re-gret going for the win, but you will always regret going for a loss.”

Perez blocked strong Ameri-can plays in the first half, making a

diving save to her left in the fourth minute on a shot by Tobin Heath, and later tipping an Alex Morgan header over the net in the 28th min-ute.

That dreamlike first half made the nightmarish second half all the more stunning. Perez was handed a red card in the 47th minute and was subsequently ejected after tripping Morgan just inside the penalty box. Two second-half goals by the U.S. team made it official: Perez’s World Cup was over.

“When I saw the red card, I was in disbelief,” Perez stated in the email. “I had never been given a red card in a real game. I did not know what it meant or what I had to do at the time. It felt like my world stopped for a minute.”

Although the game did not go as she had planned, Perez still holds

fond memories of the moments be-fore kickoff.

“My favorite moment of the tournament was singing the Co-lombian anthem in the game ver-sus the USA,” Perez said. “Seeing my family in the stands and shar-ing that priceless moment with my teammates and the people who have supported me ... I had dreamed and envisioned that moment so many times, but that moment surpassed all of my dreams and expectations.”

Despite tearing her ACL as a teenager and receiving a red card in the biggest game of her life, Perez perseveres. The Hurricanes should feel confident with this player pro-tecting the net; Perez can block any challenge that comes her way.

Dear V,Dear V,

Over the summer, I had a f ling with a close guy friend. We went to high school together and are heading off to different colleges this year, so I took a play from Demi Lovato’s book: we’d be “Cool for the Summer” and that would be it. However, it seems my friend took our f ling more seriously than I did. Last night, I got the infamous

“What are we?” text. Now, the only Lovato song play-ing in my head is “Heart Attack.” I don’t want to break his heart, but I don’t want to enter my freshman year with a ball and chain, either. What should I do?

Sincerely,Sincerely,Not Ready for an LDRNot Ready for an LDR

Dear Not Ready,Dear Not Ready,

Instead of hoping for an endless summer with eternal sand, sun and romps in the sack, you may want to think twice about leaving things undefined. If you’re just look-ing to let off steam and break a sweat when the heat of the sea-son peaks, you shouldn’t string along a guy who’s hoping to

dub you “bae” and bring you pumpkin spice lattes when fall hits. Plus, nobody wants to en-ter freshman year with strings attached.

Unless he’s your soulmate, Skype, text and Snapchat will only last so long until you start to notice cuties on campus. So, let’s cut the cord.

First, don’t dump your dude over text. Sure, it’s easy and it’s not like you were dat-ing anyway, but if he’s digging on you, “See ya, lol ;)” will crush him. Invite him out to coffee to break the news.

Second, don’t make up excuses. You’re a small fish in a big sea. You’ve got four years ahead of you to sample the selection and you don’t want to spend it pining for someone miles away. Tell him you hope you can still be friends.

Third, let him decide what happens next. It’s not up to you whether you two remain buds or not. He might not be able to get over what happened and that’s his choice.

Fourth, might I suggest another Demi song? “Give Your Heart a Break.” Don’t jump into something else too soon. Focus on getting A’s, not just D’s.

There are plenty of college students out there avoiding commitment, so make sure to find one who’s willing to define that lack of definition in the future. Good luck!
