More than 200 students go home ill after stomach virus breaks out on campus

More than 200 students living in the Hecht, Stanford and Eaton residence halls reported symptoms of a gastrointestinal illness [GI] over a 24-hour period that started on the evening of Dec. 15, when many students were getting ready to leave campus for winter break.

Dr. Howard Anapol, Director of Student Health Services, first received a call early in the evening about a student with stomach illness.

“It sounded like a typical call,” Anapol said. “I later received a call from a resident master. He told me that there were many sick students, some at the emergency room.”

Over the next 24 hours more students reported symptoms, which included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in some cases, fever. The Miami-Dade County Public Health Department [MCPH] was on campus Dec. 16 to investigate the cause of the illness.

Although the final report has not been released yet, results suggest that the outbreak was caused by Norovirus, a group of viruses that cause stomach flu or gastrointestinal illness and are spread by coming in contact with food or people infected with the virus.

“It started a few hours after I’d eaten,” Reed Hoffman, freshman, said. “I was packing to go home and I couldn’t do anything. I had no energy and started throwing up all night. I had to change my flight [home] till the day after.”

Though the timing of the outbreak seemed unfortunate to most, the winter break actually helped reduce the risk of re-infection on campus, since the virus can be active for days or weeks before it dies off, Dr. Anapol said. In addition, the University used the time off to disinfect the affected areas.

“The last night [before break] was ridiculous. There were people throwing up all over the place. They had to call the paramedics.”

Freshman

“During the break, the University cleaned, disinfected, and sanitized all common surfaces to include all bathrooms on campus and all food service facilities,” Mel Tenen, director of Auxiliary Services, said. “The guidelines used for that cleaning were provided by the Miami-Dade County Health Department.”

According to Linda Gilardi, director of Quality Assurance for Compass Group, of which Chartwells is a member, outbreaks of Norovirus are fairly common, especially in crowded areas. A similar case occurred early in January when about 100 passengers on a Royal Caribbean cruise were sick with Norovirus-like symptoms.

“It’s prevalent in South Florida in this climate,” Gilardi said. “It seems to emerge every winter. They call it the winter flu.”

Although most students felt better within one or two days, some felt the experience was more than inconvenient. A group on TheFacebook.com titled “I survived Chart[well]’s food poisoning” had 38 members and stated “real good planning, Charties, thanks from the bottom of my aching, vomiting stomach.”

Matt Rosenberg, freshman, joined the group on TheFacebook.com after he spent all day vomiting, unable to eat.

“The last night [before break] was ridiculous,” Rosenberg said. “There were people throwing up all over the place. They had to call the paramedics.”

The MCPH inspected all university facilities and found no violations.

“They’ve been here three times for three inspections after the GI breakout,” Tenen said. “They have found no violations at UM. For that matter, they have found no violations for the past two years.”

Inspections of the food facilities consisted of investigations of cleanliness, hygiene, safe food handling practices and proper temperatures for both cold and heated foods.

According to the health report from MCPH, “[the sickness] was not a result of food poisoning, rather an exposure to Norovirus.” The illness may have been spread by point-source contact, meaning that many people became sick simultaneously and that the source of illness cannot be pin-pointed to one person or food.

Precautions that can be taken to avoid coming in contact with Norovirus include paying strict attention to hand washing, especially after using the toilet and before preparing food, thoroughly washing fruits and vegetables before consumption, and keeping all toilet areas clean.

Last summer began with 103.5 The Beat and the UM Convocation Center teaming up for The Beat Down, an incredible show featuring Pitbull, T.O.K., Jadakiss, Ja Rule, Ashanti, Fat Joe, the Ying Yang Twins, Trick Daddy and Kanye West, among others. The lineup was amazing, the show even better. It was hard to believe that they could ever have another show that compared. Then, on Dec. 4, Bakapalooza took place-and it was nearly as good as The Beat Down.

Immediately following a certain game against Virginia Tech, depressed students made there way to Bakapalooza, where they were cheered up with performances by Ludacris, Lil Jon, Lil Flip, Lil Scrappy, Ciara, Pitbull and Jackie-O. There were even sights of Fat Joe and the rest of Terror Squad back stage. The audience was into the music and it showed. Some even came prepared with their pimp cups and, of course, lots of bling.

While both of the shows were amazing, few students bothered to go, even though the tickets were reasonably priced and the Convocation Center is an intimate enough venue, where there really isn’t a bad seat. If you’re not going to buy tickets to these quality shows, then don’t complain about having Winnie the Pooh and Bob the Builder dominating the Convocation Center calendar.

Beaux Arts Festival keeps campus busy

By Joanna Davila

Happen to notice the dozens of bleach-white tents dotting campus this weekend? Celebrating its 53rd year of art, the Beaux Art Festival took over the greater part of Stanford Drive and the grassy areas surrounding the Lowe and the UC from Friday to Sunday.

The three-day festival occurs every year in the beginning of January, giving local and regional artists a chance to display their works for the public.

Supporting a wide variety of artists, the festival had works that ranged in scope from jewelry to paintings to metal-works. A few tents even had handmade jackets, woven baskets and neatly crafted leather goods.

Despite the rain and mud, the various artists each had tents full of their artistic works, attending to the throngs of people that flocked to campus. Some showcased beaded or sterling silver jewelry in glass cases while others hung dozens of vivid paintings, containing blindingly bright colors. Although the art show didn’t exactly showcase museum-worthy art pieces, each tent had something fun and interesting to look at albeit actual artistic merit.

Needing no artistic sense at all, the Beaux Arts festival must be commended for its food vendors who lined Stanford Drive with a host of grills, blenders and plastic ware. Starting with the “Greek Tavern” and the fruit smoothie stand, the pungent smell of roasted chicken, saut

Serena Williams Unleashes Her New Fashion Designs with Aneres-12.15.04

While most know Serena Williams for her complete domination on the tennis court, it’s time to recognize Serena as a fashion designer, as she launched her new clothing line Aneres, which is Serena’s name spelled backwards, at the Forge. The line consisted of dainty formal dresses and everyday wear in color choices of fuchsia, teal and purple, that will make women feel sexy. To show support, even sister Venus decided to walk the runway. Except for the cord that fell from the ceiling early on in the show, which became a big nuisance, the event was a great success. Serena, reluctant to walk the stage, received a standing ovation once the show was over.

Trick Daddy’s ‘Thug Holiday’ Toy Drive-12.21.04

Four days before Christmas, Trick Daddy served as Gould’s Park’s Santa with Pitbull serving as “Santa’s” guest of honor. The event was a day of fun for the parents and kids of the community as free food and entertainment was provided for all those that came out. With the help of various sponsors, Trick accumulated toys for all ages. Each kid who entered received a toy and left with a smile.

Paris Hilton Rings in the New Year Vegas Style-12.31.04

The days leading up to the new year made Miami seem like the new Hollywood. Everyone from the music and film industry was in town at various parties to bring in the new year: P. Diddy, Nicole Richie, Ludacris, Lindsay Lohan and others, but if you ask Paris Hilton, her “Vegas Baby, Vegas” New Year’s Eve party at the Shelbourne was probably the “hottest” place to be on the beach…if not, probably the most expensive. Ticket prices ranged from $175 to $5,000, but the packed crowed showed that money was not an issue, especially if it was to see Hilton.

Promising R&B newcomer Ryan Leslie started the party off right with a two-song set that included his first single, “The Way You Move Girl.” Hilton followed shortly after, dancing to the beat inside of her head as everyone had their cameras ready to capture each move. The countdown was made possible by television monitors that showed the ball dropping in New York, but after it was already 2005, Hilton started her own countdown…guests got to ring in the new year twice. Other guests included Craig David, Steve-O from Jackass, Nicky Hilton and the Olsen twins.

Ciara Crunks Club Eden-1.1.05

To bring in the new year right, the first lady of “Crunk & B,” Ciara, showed to a packed audience why she is the one of the hottest chicks in the game. Even celebrities such as George Clinton of the P-Funk All-Stars, Uncle Luke and Missy Elliott were in attedance. Ciara made her way to the stage around 2 a.m., but that didn’t stop the singer from dancing, singing and entertaining the hell out of those who paid to see her. Her five-song set list included her number one single, “Goodies,” and concluded with a surprise appearance by Ms. Elliott with “1, 2 Step.”

Where it’s Hot in 2005

By Joanna Davila

While everyone was away enjoying the holidays, Miami was still keeping up with the heat. December to January, the transition from ’04 to ’05 was as smooth as could be with hot parties, new places to shop and a brand new hotel and casino.

Revolver: The Independent Night

The newest venue in town: The Pawn Shop Lounge in downtown Miami. Imagine design with VIP areas made out of an old yellow school bus and a vintage Airstream trailer. For those people that aren’t lucky enough to chill in VIP, there’s still a lounge made out of a piece of a 727 (yes, that’s an airplane). With the hottest DJs and Friday nights at Club Revolver, the only thing better are the live indie bands that frequent the venue. Look forward to a CD listening party for The Chemical Brothers and live shows from the Moving Units and French Kicks.

Onda Lounge

Adding another hotspot to South Beach’s Washington Street strip, Onda Lounge is the newest on the lounge scene. An intimate setting, the lounge has a contemporary feel with a white interior, VIP area and tight dance floor. Owned by Jacquelynn Powers (Ocean Drive magazine) and Michael Pasqualini the venue attracts an A-list crowd.

Hooligan’s Ladies Night

Located off of U.S. 1, Hooligan’s has Wednesday night ladies’ night, with free drinks from nine to midnight. Don’t have early class Thursday? Get some of the girls together and hit up the bar. That is, if you’re legal. Wink,wink.

T&A

Alright, alright-so they happen to be all over Miami, and lately, all over EDGE. Regardless, Tony Merenda and Ash Rana have teamed up and opened up a new boutique, T&A in the Design District off NE 2nd Ave.

Etc. Dear VHoliday blues: Friends studying abroad and unhealed broken hearts abound

Dear V,

Please help me! All of my friends are leaving to go abroad next semester, including my best buddy! I don’t know what I’m going to do without them. I’m already feeling the loneliness, and they haven’t even left yet! I’m worried that I’m going to end up locking myself in my dorm room all next semester, eating myself to 200 pounds and sitting in the dark. I don’t know what I’m going to do without them.

Is it too late to pack my bags too?

Dear Reader,

Unfortunately, yes, I think that applications are past due for foreign trips next semester, but you can still make it out alive next semester without all of your friends. Maybe you should treat next semester as “you rejuvenating time” if you know what I mean. When was the last time you were able to get to know those acquaintances down the hall a little bit better or actually get around to reading that book you bought two years ago? Yeah, exactly my point, you will be able to treat the semester as a bit of a clean slate. No friends? Time to make some new ones. Too much spare time on your hands? Try the Wellness Center, or join some type of activity that interests you. Really, the possibilities are endless if you keep chipper, optimistic and open to all sorts of new things that are bound to come your way now that you have the time to explore and exploit them. Furthermore, and I really hate to scare you, but what do you think happens once you graduate? You and your college friends resort to commune-type, utopian living outside of the dorms? I don’t think so, sweetheart. It might be way down the line, but one day you and your friends will part separate ways unwillingly in search of your twenties and the rest of your lives. So, while it is massively important to cherish the time that you have with your friends in the here and the now, it is even more important to find that strength within yourself and garner the ability to keep moving without your friends and on your own.

Knowing others is wisdom;

Knowing the self is enlightenment;

Mastering others is strength;

Mastering the self is true power.

-Lao-Tzu

Lots of luck!

V.

Dear V,

I broke up with my first serious boyfriend about a year ago, and I don’t think that I’m quite over him yet. I always find myself moping around. All of my friends and my family ask me what’s wrong, and I really have no clue. I miss him and just wish that I could get on with my life.

Not over him ever

Dear Reader,

So it has been a year and still no progress? Still stuck in a greedy rut? So what is going on with you my dear? It is very normal to feel lonely when you’ve broken up with a serious boyfriend, but perhaps your grieving process has spilled into some type of prolonged depression. If this is the case, and I think that it may be considering that you’ve been apart from your ex-boyfriend for a year, it might be time to go talk it out with a professional.

Meanwhile, don’t let the holidays get to you! Holiday blues + PTBS (Post-Traumatic Break-up Stress) are a lethally blue combination, and something that you don’t need to battle while you’re studying for finals and battling the malls and your empty bank account. Try to keep yourself afloat socially – stay surrounded by loved ones and friends (and yes, they do exist, you are not living in a hole) right now. But please, I urge you, if you still feel isolated and lonely, put down the holiday bubbly and find some help, because this problem probably won’t resolve itself on its own.

Lots of luck!

V.

The average Bahamian consumes about 15 liters of Ethanol-type alcohol per year – the highest rate of consumption in the world. The Spanish come in second with 13 liters per head, and Americans remain steady at about 10 liters of alcohol per head, per year…Cheers to that!

Happy Holidays everyone! See you in January!

Women’s Basketball

George Mason limited the University of Miami women’s basketball team to a season-low 25 percent shooting to hand the Hurricanes a 60-35 loss Tuesday night at the Patriot Center.

Junior Tamara James led UM with 16 points while adding eight rebounds, but as a team, the Hurricanes managed only 13-of-52 on field goals on the night to fall to the Patriots (1-2).

GMU had three players to score double figures, led by Tracy Ann Holness, who also posted seven rebounds in the win.

The Patriots held UM, who would miss their first 11 shots, scoreless through the first 11 minutes of the first half, opening the game on a 17-0 run.

James scored the Hurricanes’ first bucket at the 10:39 mark, but GMU capitalized on a 3-of-26 shooting performance from the field paired with 10 turnovers by Miami to take a 27-8 lead into the half.

Miami scored the first five points to start second half, but managed just six more in the half’s first 14 minutes to trail 44-19 with just over five minutes remaining. The Patriots would hang on to the win, downing UM, 60-35.

The loss marks the first time in 26 seasons, the Hurricanes have scored 35 or fewer points. The last time UM scored 35 or less was during the 1978-79 season when Miami fell at South Florida 72-33.

The Hurricanes return to action Saturday, heading cross-town to take on inner-city rival Florida International at Golden Panther arena at 7 p.m.

Swimming and Diving

Seven members of the University of Miami swimming and diving squad will participate in the 2004 U.S. Open at the Palo Alto College Natatorium in San Antonio, Texas from Dec. 2-4.

The three-day event, which is sanctioned by USA Swimming, will feature swimmers from clubs and universities from around the country. The meet will take place in long course (50) meters. Preliminary heats will begin each morning at 9:30 a.m. while finals will begin at 6:00 p.m.

The Hurricanes will take a team of seven swimmers, who turned in qualifying times for their events. Seniors Manon van Rooijen and Katalin Ferenczi will be joined by sophomores Nancy Gajos, Andrea Hughes and Tara Erwin, along with freshmen Taylor McFarlane and Lauren Shue.

Van Rooijen is seeded sixth in both the 200 and 100-meter freestyle events. Ferenczi and McFarlane qualified for the 100-meter backstroke while Shue and Erwin are set to race in the 800-meter freestyle. Gajos and Hughes will swim in both the 100 and 200-meter butterfly event.

Bouncing Back

Monday night at the Convocation Center turned out to be one of the greatest in men’s basketball history. Records were shattered and the Hurricanes’ two-game losing streak went by the wayside as Miami defeated Florida Atlantic 84-68.

Anthony King recorded Miami’s first ever triple-double, as he had 11 points, 10 rebounds, and an astonishing 13 blocks. King shattered the previous school record of eight blocks in the first half. King also set a new ACC record with the feat.

“Anthony’s performance tells me one thing: that he plays his role,” Head Coach Frank Haith said. “He doesn’t try to do more than what his role is, and we can all learn from that.”

Robert Hite led the way for the Hurricanes with a career-high 38 points and Guillermo Diaz added 27 on 11-for-13 shooting for his new career high. Haith was more impressed with the way Diaz handled the ball than his point total. Diaz finished with four assists, zero turnovers, three steals, and even added four rebounds.

Anthony Harris also had a career night with 10 assists, even though he struggled from the field, going 1-for-10.

The Owls were able to hang around in the first half, as the Hurricanes only took a 33-30 lead into halftime. It took the Owls five minutes to first get on the board, largely due to the interior defensive play of King, who blocked six of the Owls first 10 shots.

The second half was largely dominated by Miami, which outscored FAU 51-38 in the half. Hite and Diaz couldn’t miss at times as Hite had 28 of his 38 after the break. The half even included an alley-oop to Diaz that ended up as the No. 3 play on SportsCenter’s top 10 plays of the day.

Miami was able to shoot 49 percent from the field while holding FAU to 37 percent. Mike Bell of the Owls led them with 23 points off the bench. Owls Head Coach Sidney Green was impressed by Miami’s athleticism.

“We have a fine player in Mike Bell, but they have five or six Mike Bells,” Green said. “And that’s why they’re an ACC school and we’re an Atlantic Sun school. They did what they were supposed to do.”

The 1,533 at the Convocation Center saw Miami pull ahead by 15 with 13:30 to play in the ballgame, but FAU came back after an 11-0 run that cut the lead to 51-47. After an 11-2 run of their own, Miami never looked back, largely in part to a number of fast breaks by Diaz and Harris.

Miami will have their toughest test of the early season when they go up to Gainesville to take on the ranked Florida Gators tomorrow at noon.

“We’re all looking forward to that opportunity on Saturday up in Gainesville,” Haith said.

1 Another Comeback for Brock and the Gang

This time, the Hurricanes erased a 17-point second half deficit to beat a formidable Louisville team 41-38. Brock Berlin threw three touchdown passes and led Miami on its game winning drive, which ended with a one-yard Frank Gore touchdown with under a minute left. Devin Hester returned a punt 78 yards to pay dirt to put the Hurricanes ahead 34-31 midway through the fourth quarter, but Louisville came back with a touchdown drive of its own, forcing the ‘Canes to come through with one more miraculous drive. Head Coach Larry Coker felt the same way he did after the Florida State victory. “A tremendous win,” Coker said. “The guys didn’t flinch. They didn’t give up. Our guys really, really fought to the end.”

2 Hurricanes Outlast Florida State

The football team had to wait an extra four days to play its first ACC game because of Hurricane Frances, but it turned out to be worth the wait, as Miami came back from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to stun Florida State in overtime 16-10. Frank Gore scored the winning touchdown on an 18-yard run after the defense forced a Chris Rix fumble on the previous possession. The Hurricanes also got some help from a missed field goal, something that has defined this rivalry. Florida State’s Xavier Beitia had a 34-yarder blocked by Devin Hester with 3:58 to play. The kick would have sealed a victory for the Seminoles. Instead, it gave Miami the ball back with a chance to tie the game. “We never got tired; we were hungry all the way to the end,” Head Coach Larry Coker said. “It’s a monumental experience, a game you’ll remember for the rest of your life. It was just a great finish, a great finish.”

3 Bradley wins Indoor Singles Title

Senior Megan Bradley claimed the 2004 ITA National Intercollegiate Indoor Championship singles title at the University of Michigan Varsity Tennis Center.
Bradley overpowered California’s Suzi Babos 6-2, 6-2, to win the singles championship. With the win, Bradley improves 19-1 this season. She lost just one set in five victories.
“This was the best I’ve played all week,” Bradley said. “I knew I had more experience than her and just focused on making my shots and not getting ahead of myself.”
Cal’s Babos was looking to become the fifth freshman to win the ITA National Indoors. This was her first loss in 14 matches this season

4 King records school’s first triple-double;

Hite and Diaz have career games
After two disappointing losses to South Carolina State and Xavier, the men’s basketball team had a performance to remember Monday night in beating Florida Atlantic 84-68 at the Convocation Center. Sophomore forward Anthony King had the school’s first-ever triple-double with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 13 blocks, an ACC record. King broke a school record with eight blocks in the first half, not letting the Owls get anything accomplished in the low post. Not to be outdone by his teammate, Robert Hite had 38 points, 28 coming in the second half. Sophomore Guillermo Diaz also had his best game as a Hurricane with 27 points, going 11-for-13 from the field.

5 End of an Era for Women’s Volleyball

University of Miami senior outside hitter Elizabeth Tyson became only the second player in Miami history to reach the 1,000 career kills mark when she recorded a match-high 12 kills in the Hurricanes’ 3-0 (30-19, 30-17, 30-19) sweep over visiting South Florida on senior night. The Hurricanes improved to 17-9 overall record while remaining 11-5 in the ACC. The Hurricanes played an emotional match with five seniors: Tyson, Valeria Tipiana, Mallorey James, Jamie Grass and Ashley Youngs, playing in their final home match of their careers. The players are all original members of Head Coach Nicole Lantagne Welch’s first recruiting class. Together, the quintet has made history for Miami volleyball with an 82-31 overall record in four years.
