Spinnaker [Distributed: Wednesday, October 18, 2006]

The majority of the 2,450 students living in on-campus housing at the University of North Florida are now in triple occupancy rooms, according to statistics provided by Housing Operations.

As enrollments increase and the demand for housing continues to rise, UNF is booking more students together in rooms to make space for everyone that wants to live on campus, said Paul Riel, director of Housing Operations.

In September 2004, Associate Vice President for Enrollment Services Deborah Kaye reported in a UNF board of trustees meeting that on-campus housing was then filled to 115 percent capacity. The university had to triple the occupancy of 338 rooms to accommodate all the students needing housing, she said.

This year, there are approximately 1,370 students living in about 450 triple occupancy rooms, according to housing statistics. The statistics also indicated that roughly 55 percent of all students living on campus are now in triple rooms.

Riel said he doesn't feel the university has a problem with too many students and too little space.

"We're not calling it overcrowding," he said.

Riel said the university sees the shift in on-campus housing circumstances as a way to offer "alternative living environments" where students can enjoy more company at a lower rate than double rooms. Many, he said, prefer the camaraderie of two roommates and don't mind the limited space.

"I love it," said Kyle Landmann, a freshman mechanical engineering major who lives in a triple room. Most people are uncomfortable with it at first, he said, but enjoy it once they overcome the initial awkwardness and make friends.

In the cases of the Landing and the Crossings, Riel said, rooms that were originally designed for three tenants are simply utilizing more of that space as demand for housing increases.

This year opened with the biggest housing wait list in the history of UNF, Riel said. At most, there were in excess of 300 students waiting for a bed, and when school started there were still about 50 who didn't have a place - a first for the university, he said.

Administration has planned for several years to expand housing by adding a new complex on the "eastern ridge," a plot of land designated on UNF property immediately east of the main campus. The complex is expected to provide more upperclassmen housing.

The complex will most likely be ready for students to move in sometime around July 2009, Riel said. Current plans indicate it will house about 1,000 students and consist of mostly private "suites."

"We see the trend moving toward private bedrooms, and that's our next phase," Riel said. Some students agree, while others, like Kyle Storms, a freshman majoring in civil engineering who currently lives in a triple room, don't see the point.

"College is all about meeting people," Storms said.

The complex is anticipated to cover 20 acres and cost an estimated $25 million, according to the UNF Master Plan's capital improvements element.

Riel said the administrations focus will continue to be on first-year students when it comes it housing in the coming years.

"We are going to do everything we can to get first-year students on campus," he said. It's still UNF policy to offer an on-campus spot to all incoming freshman, and he said it's his priority to continue to offer competitively-priced living space that still provides "basic life standards."

Vandalism may put lockdown on building

Vandalism and theft in the University of North Florida's Fine Arts Center has led to the possible lock down of Building 45 at night.

Sharon Papian, director of the Fine Arts Center, requested that the University Police Department lock the doors of the building after hours to ensure the safety of school equipment and personal property.

This is not a viable option, according to John Dean, the associate chief of UPD.

"President Delaney wants the campus to be as open as possible," Dean said. "Not one building in the school is locked down and it is more than likely to remain this way."

After bringing the option up with UPD, Papian realized that closing down Building 45 at night is just not possible.

"We have explored many options to try and fix this problem," Papian said. "We could lock the doors of the center at night, but the janitorial staff opens the doors when they clean. This would make it ultimately pointless to close the doors in the first place. This doesn't mean that there are no other options for Building 45."

According to Papian, the staff of the Fine Arts Center is trying to stop vandalism and theft by combating the problem internally. Intellilocks, an electronic key-logging device, have been installed on the doors of the recital hall, which often houses expensive musical instruments. Instructors using the facility have been advised to lock up using the new Intellilock system after their classes finish.

"It has been used as an instructional space so it has been left open for the most part," Papian said. "However, we have had damage to the equipment and instruments inside so we decided that the Intellilocks would be a good choice. Now we can see who was in the recital hall when the damages occur."

Papian and her staff have also considered putting surveillance cameras inside the building.

"We would install the cameras in particular areas that have the most equipment, not all over the Fine Arts Center," Papian said. "These cameras wouldn't necessarily be used as preventative items, but as a way of identifying who is causing the damage. The only thing that needs to be considered is the financial aspect."

There have been a number of instances where items have been stolen from Building 45.

"Some of the most commonly stolen items are the signs for the men and women's bathrooms," Papian said. "The signs can't seem to stay in place. We've replaced them quite a few times and it doesn't seem like their theft is going to stop."

One of the worst occurrences of vandalism happened last spring, when a large pane of glass near the stairwell of the communications department was smashed.

"The glass was completely shattered, it looked like someone hit it or threw something heavy at it," Papian said. "Not only did we have to pay to replace the pane of glass but we had to pay for the installation as well. The piece of glass was fairly long so replacement and installation was far from cheap."

Former ambassador to address Iraq, Iran

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Thomas Pickering is coming to the University of North Florida Oct. 24 to discuss the future of the United States' relationships with Iraq and Iran.

The war in Iraq and Iran's nuclear program are each issues that the U.S. is going to have to find solutions to, Pickering said. He said he aims to provide "some ideas for the future from the perspective of a retired diplomat."

"These are two tremendously important issues for the United States," he said. "We can address those in a much broader way than we have so far."

Pickering said the answer to diplomatic problems with both countries lies in a series of political proposals.

The United States needs to "engage and get support from key world countries" to quell the insurrection in Iraq, according to Pickering. He said that the greatest chance for a successful resolution lies in the involvement of many of Iraq's neighbors in the peacemaking process.

As for Iran, Pickering said the United States needs to very carefully consider its approach when dealing with nuclear questions.

Pickering has led a long and decorated career as a foreign diplomat for the United States. His former posts within the Foreign Service include ambassadorships to Jordan, Nigeria, El Salvador, Israel, India and Russia. He also served as Under Secretary of State-the third highest post in the State Department-from 1997 to 2001.

Pickering holds the title of Career Ambassador, the highest designation within the U.S. Foreign Service, according to Trina Medarev, administrative director of the World Affairs Council of Jacksonville. The council is hosting Pickering's visit in cooperation with UNF's Distinguished Voices lecture series.

"He is a Career Ambassador with extensive services overseas," Medarev said. She added that she hopes Pickering's visit will raise political awareness among students.

"I think it's going to bring a number of current issues to the forefront," she said. Pickering said he agreed many people could benefit from becoming more aware of current events around the world.

"My impression is most Americans are more interested in what's going on in this country [than in international affairs]," Pickering said.

Pickering was educated at Bowdoin College in Maine and then received his Master's degree from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in Massachusetts. After a five decade-spanning career in the Foreign Service, he served as vice president for international relations at Boeing until 2006.

Pickering's lecture, entitled "Iran, Iraq and the U.S.: High Stakes Relationships," is free and open to the public. It will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the UNF University Center Banquet Hall. For more information, contact Sarah Dufresne at 620-2117 or sdufresn@unf.edu.

Middle East concerns erode U.S. image abroad

University of North Florida professors agree - Middle Eastern issues are central concerns in politics today and the world's perception of how the United States is responding to the region is filled with anger and hostility.

"In terms of its impact on domestic politics and the perception of the U.S. abroad, yes, it's the central issue in American foreign relations at this time," said Dr. Patrick Plumlee, a political science professor.

Poll numbers support this view. Studies done by The Pew Global Attitudes Project in 2006 show that favorable opinions of the United States have dropped significantly in many countries over the last four years. In Great Britain, favorable opinions of the United States have dropped from 75 percent to 56 percent since 2002. In France, they have dropped from 63 percent to 43 percent.

In a 2006 study by Pew Global measuring opinions on the greatest dangers to world peace, 75 percent of people in Great Britain view the U.S. military in Iraq or the Iranian nuclear threat the biggest danger. In Germany, 91 percent viewed one of these issues as the biggest threat.

Dr. David Schwam-Baird, a political science professor at UNF, said the survey data accurately reflect world opinion. He has taught classes on Israeli politics and politics in the Middle East and North Africa and is a dual U.S. and Israeli citizen, who lived there from 1977 to 1983.

Schwam-Baird said the situation in the Middle East is so important because of both the current threat of terrorism and the brewing discontent and hostility towards the United States in the Middle East.

"The longer it takes to settle things down in Iraq ... that creates a lot of resentment and distrust," he said. "The longer the wars and the struggles fester, the more people are going to be angry with us."

Schwam-Baird said that although the region has been rife with conflict for decades, it has definitely become less stable since the start of the Iraq war.

Although combatants coming into Iraq from other areas are definitely a problem, Schwam-Baird said that most of the conflicts are internal between groups jockeying for control of Iraq.

It is true that many Iraqis want the U.S. military out of the country, Schwam-Baird said. However, some of them want the U.S. military out so they can fight other groups for power without U.S. intervention.

Schwam-Baird said that it is nearly impossible for anyone to predict when Iraq would finally be stabilized.

Although Iran's movement toward acquiring nuclear capability was an important issue, it is not an emergency, Schwam-Baird concluded. Iran, he said, is still years away from developing a nuclear device.

There are, however, other Middle Eastern countries that threatened to develop into new conflicts in the future. Of primary concern was the Kurdish region of Iraq, Schwam-Baird said, which is stable but has been clamoring for independence.

Plumlee agreed with Schwam-Baird on the region's important issues. Plumlee, who teaches a class on U.S. defense policy, said there could be arguments for other issues, such as global warming, being more important in the long run, but right now the Middle East is of central concern.

Plumlee said the main cause of strife in Iraq was the fragmented population. Iraq consists of mainly Shiite and Sunni Muslims who have fought each other for power since Saddam Hussein was deposed. The Kurds, who occupy the northern part of the country, are also competing to be adequately represented.

"There are a lot of factions in Iraq jockeying for power," he said.

Plumlee said the diverse groups in Iraq all see urgency in grasping power as the country develops. He said some of the groups feel if they lose power now, they may never have a another chance at equal treatment.

Plumlee said splitting Iraq into three separate zones might be the most workable solution to the problem.

However, he said, there are obvious problems with that. Partitioning Iraq would create three weak countries always contending with one other rather than one moderately strong state.

Dr. Parvez Ahmed, an associate professor in UNF's Coggin College of Business, said there was a need for the United States to approach the Iranian situation in a different way. He said direct diplomatic dialogue was the most important step in improving the situation.

"There is an urgent need to have face-to-face dialogue with Iran," said Ahmed, who also works with the National Council on American-Islamic Relations, a non-profit organization that promotes mutual understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims.

He also said a pull out of the U.S. military from Iraq could help to ease some anti-American sentiment in the region. The pull out must be gradual and orderly, however.

"Anti-American sentiment is very strong in a vast swath of regions spanning from Morocco to Indonesia," Ahmed said.

College faith groups on rise

When the Rev. Robert L. Carpenter started a small, faith-based organization at the University of Central Florida four years ago, he never imagined how big it would become.

Today, what began as a word-of-mouth venture packs in students at Sunday services and boasts an e-mail list of nearly 2,000. Incoming freshmen seek out University Christian Fellowship when they arrive on campus, not just the other way around.

Carpenter's group is just one of many faith-based organizations on local college campuses that are reporting a recent jump in membership. A Harvard poll released this year found that seven out of 10 U.S. college students said "religion is somewhat or very important in their lives," and 25 percent say they've become more spiritual since entering college.

"With all the uncertainty in the world-with the war, bird flu, hurricanes-students are looking for some kind of faith connection," Carpenter says of the boost. "They are searching for something that is secure."

And for some, that means branching away from Greek life, athletics and activities that bombard them with peer pressure and alcohol.

Nausheen Ansari, 21, sought friends, and mostly understanding, when she joined the Muslim Student Association at UCF. She feared backlash against the Muslim community as the United States fought in the Middle East.

"It's something that helps you stay strong," she says of her connection to the Muslim student group.

Ansari says she has watched as a growing number of incoming students seek out connections to faith-based organizations, even students who previously weren't religious.

Just like other student groups, spiritual gatherings span a wide range at UCF, according to a list of registered student organizations. There are 24, ranging from the Knight Circle, which celebrates "traditional, modern and symbolic beliefs of earth-based and neopagan religions," to the Women's Prayer Band and Hillel, a Jewish student group.

The university's Office of Student Involvement estimates a 25 percent increase in membership in campus ministries since the 2001-02 school year.

Students serve disadvantaged community members

Builders Care, a philanthropic organization that seeks to provide housing for the disadvantaged, has teamed up with various University of North Florida programs to bring community service opportunities to students.

The Building Construction Management program, a part of the College of Computing, Engineering and Construction, has been involved with Builders Care since last spring, said Dr. David Dubbelde, the director of service learning for the BCM. The students who participate are enrolled in the Senior Capstone Project Management class, which consists of applying all the accumulated knowledge from traditional classes to the real world of construction, he said.

"I recently got involved with Builders Care this past summer after moving from Texas A&M to UNF," Dubbelde said. "The first project we worked on was for a woman who took care of 6 or 7 handicapped children. We brought everything in the house up-to-date and added rooms and another story."

The BCM also helped Builders Care renovate six homes for the charitable organization Angelwood, which provides housing and supervision for the disabled.

"Some of the houses we worked on were not up-to-par with the Americans with Disabilities Act," Dubbelde said. "We installed wheelchair ramps and safety bars in the houses and made the accommodations more comfortable for the people living there."

Dubbelde said that getting involved with Builder Care helps the senior students gain experience in their given fields while developing their sense of moral responsibility to the community.

"Instead of just going out and picking up trash on the side of the road, these students are using the knowledge they've amassed in the classroom to help the community," Dubbelde said. "It is important for these students, as they leave school and start working for themselves, to know that while the monetary aspect of construction is important, being positive members of society and giving back to the less fortunate is just as important."

David Mantia, the CEO of Osprey Constructors, a subdivison of the BCM said that the collaboration between the BCM and Builders Care helps both groups, as well as the community.

"While we help build houses for those can't afford them, our students get important on-the-job training at the same time," Mantia said. "This is one of the few programs in the nation that involves students in the labor and management aspect of construction. The students who participate end up with a lot more knowledge because of their real-life experience."

In addition to Builders Care, the BCM also works with other charitable organizations, disaster relief programs and various community projects, Dubbelde said. UNF's Greek Life community has also participated in Builders Care programs.

Joel Lipsky, a junior construction management major, Greek Integration Team leader and Sigma Chi member, spearheaded the Interfraternity Council's involvement with Builders Care, along with his fraternity big brother, Amos Gura.

"We wanted to bring everyone in Greek Life together to work towards a common goal," Lipsky said. "It seems like whenever fraternities get together, it is just for competitions. That's why we created the Greek Integration team, so we will not only have the opportunity to work with Builders Care and help the community but we can spend time with other fraternities in the process."

The Greek Integration Team donated their time to the Jacksonville Boys' Home one Saturday in September as a part of the Builders Care program. According to Lipsky, around 100 people attended the event, which featured members of every IFC fraternity, as well as representation from the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.

"We raised money before we went so we could buy rakes, shovels and other landscaping equipment," Lipsky said. "Counting labor and equipment costs, we probably donated around $2,500 to the Boy's Home. It was definitely a huge success and everyone was happy to be there."

Lipsky and the Greek Integration Team are planning to hold at least one major community service event with Builders Care every semester. While the program is mainly directed at Greek Life, everyone is invited to attend, Lipsky said.

New institution aims to educate older citizens

The University of North Florida's Division of Continuing Education recently started a new program on campus catering to non-traditional students.

The Lifelong Learning Institute is an inaugural program at UNF and in Northeast Florida designed for anyone over the age of 50 interested in learning about a wide variety of topics. Through this program, participants can take part in courses, networking opportunities and many other activities according to the program brochure.

This program started with an idea from the Dean of Continuing Education, Robert Wood, who has over 30 years of experience in continuing education. He said there are Lifelong Learning Institutes at over 100 colleges across the United States, and he wanted there to be a program like this available for the retired adults of Jacksonville as well.

"As the baby-boomer generation reaches retirement age we want to remain as active as possible," Wood said. "There are many baby-boomers in the Jacksonville area. Many of these have had professional careers and they still want to be connected to a University for social, educational, and cultural activities."

With the support of the Center for Career and Lifelong Learning's Program Assistant and the Program Coordinator for the Lifelong Learning Institute, Erin Moore, Wood got the program up and running. Together, Moore and Wood developed a Steering Committee for the program, which has and will provide volunteers to teach, find other instructors, develop class schedules and workshops, and promote the program as a whole, he said.

The Steering Committee developed a mission statement which states, "The mission of the UNF Lifelong Learning Institute is to assess the needs of and provide educational opportunities for adults over the age of 50 to grow intellectually, socially, and culturally in a climate of friendship and mutual sharing of ideas and life experiences."

One of the ways the Lifelong Learning Institute will fulfill the requirements of the mission statement is through the courses offered. The subjects of these upcoming classes range from anything about culture, history and current events to the arts, computers and finances. Some specific examples include Behind the Curtain of the Theatre and Stage, Exploration into Genealogy, Great Books and Wood Sculpting to name a few.

The course curriculum was developed in accordance with the opinions of the participants, to ensure that the material catered to the students' interests and needs, Moore said.

"We performed a market analysis of the 50-plus group and devised our current fall schedule based on the responses we received," Moore said.

In addition to these classes, the Lifelong Learning Institute also consists of many other activities. Trips, lunch seminars called lunch-n-learn sessions and other workshops will also be held on a weekly basis. For example, the students can dine with board members of the World Affairs Council and a UNF Ranger to discuss topics concerning foreign affairs and Florida wildlife through the lunch-n-learn sessions.

Wood himself is going to teach one of the workshops called An Adventure in Italian Cooking. He taught pasta making classes and has also won several cooking awards. Because of his skills, Wood said he can not only be one of the administrators of the program, but he can also serve as an active participant with the fellow members of his generation.

"I have a passion for food and fellowship," Wood said. "I have taught the pasta making class in South Carolina for several years. It is rewarding to help folks prepare food then to partake of their creative culinary accomplishment."

In addition to Wood, other instructors are mostly retired educators from public schools and colleges and experts from different careers and organizations in the field of interest for their particular courses.

The Division of Continuing Education kicked off the program in the University Center with an open house in September. During the open house future participants were able to mingle with instructors and other students, learn about the available courses and see the facilities where classes are held.

"Our open house, which was held on Sept. 26, drew twice as many attendees as we were expecting, thus confirming the need for a Lifelong Learning Institute," Moore said.

The total cost to enroll in UNF's Lifelong Learning Institute is $85 per person and $150 per couple for three terms. To become a lifetime member, individuals can pay $1,000 while couples pay $1,500. The fees not only include membership to the program but also one free class and one free lunch-n-learn session per term.

Starbucks construction underway

The Starbucks and student lounge project is well on its way into the fourth week of construction on the University of North Florida campus.

Along with Starbucks, the atrium, which was formerly part of the library, is set up to be a student lounge. Soft-seated recliners, tables and chairs, and a bar and barstools next to the windows are planned to be included, says Micheal Gibson, of Student Government.

Starbucks paid for their space in the lounge and Student Government contributed $50,000 for the lounge, Gibson said.

The total cost of the project was $230,000. This includes design, renovation and outfitting the space to accommodate Starbucks and the lounge.

"It is anticipated to be ready by January of 2007," said Director of Facilities Planning, Zak Ovadia.

Students do not have to purchase anything from Starbucks to use the lounge. It will be a place to relax, study and have coffee.

"I think it will motivate people to study," said Jamie Goodman, a junior elementary education major.

If anyone has any questions about the construction process or more about Student Government funding, e-mail Student Government Director of Engineering Construction Michael Gibson at sgadec@unf.edu.

January brings changes to MCAT

The Medical College Admission Test taken by an estimated 70,000 students every year will be shorter, offered more often and in a new format starting January 2007. Results for the test will also be made available to students and medical schools sooner.

Traditionally offered twice a year in April and August, and in a pencil and paper format, the new computerized test will be offered 22 times throughout the year, according to the official MCAT Web site.

Instead of having to wait 60 days for test results, examinees results will be available in 30 days and future plans are to make them available in two weeks, the site said.

Because the test will be converted to computers, more administration dates needed to be offered because the testing sites cannot accommodate as many examinees as with the paper test in the past, said Matt Fidler, MCAT Program Manager for Kaplan Test Prep and Administration.

"Students need to register as early as possible because the new testing sites will only accommodate 20 people at a time," Fidler said.

Early summertime and the month of April will be especially popular, Fidler said. This is due to the rotating admissions cycles of medical schools, he said.

The length of the test and the number of questions included are both decreasing by approximately a third, Fidler said. However, the content of the test will not change.

Students still need to be versed in the areas of chemistry, physics, biology and organic chemistry, he said.

In a survey conducted by Kaplan, results showed that close to 80 percent of survey participants had not taken a test this long or in this context on a computer before, Fidler said.

"You can't just go in to taking the MCAT cold," Fidler cautioned. "Students need to build up your test taking stamina."

Fidler encourages students to take practice demonstrations online, read up on the changes to the test and understand all areas of the exam.

Approximately 100 students are enrolled in the pre-med track at UNF said, Dr. Michael Lentz, associate professor of biology and pre-med advisor.

"I think they are positive changes," Lentz said. "It offers big advantages for students."

University growth on target for future goals

The number of students attending the University of North Florida is on target according to university projection.

The current student population in about 16,000, an increase of 590 from last fall, said Deborah Kaye, associate vice president for Enrollment Services.

The university is "looking to grow 500 to 600 students a year," said Kaye. "With typical projections, we will have around 25,000 students in 2020."

This will be a 64 percent increase in students over the next 14 year period. The university began offering classes in 1972 to a student population of 1,985, according to the Office of Institutional Research.

"UNF has a good population, not too big, not too small," said Sean Mandell, a junior community health major. "I think with the projected estimate, we have enough time to accommodate the incoming population."

The university received 13,742 applications for the fall 2006 semester. Of those, 7,443 were from incoming freshman, 4,256 were transfer students with 60 or more credit hours, 1,376 were graduate students and 667 were non-degree seeking, Kaye said. Of them, 8,453 were accepted for the current school year.

"I think it's great that the school is growing," said junior nutrition major Katelin Lier. "But I think they need to continue to keep class sizes small because that is what they are known for."

A majority of the incoming freshmen at UNF in fall 2005 came from Duval County, according to the New Freshman and Transfer Student Geographic Distribution handout from the Office of Institutional Research.

Of 1,804 newly admitted freshman, 36 percent were from Duval while 18 percent were from other counties in Northeast Florida and 17 percent from Central Florida.

Each of the other regions of Florida had less than 10 percent of students coming to UNF and around 4 percent of the incoming freshmen were from out of state, according to the handout.

For a freshman to be admitted to UNF for the fall of 2007 he or she must have a minimum 2.9 academic high school grade point average and a minimum SAT score of 1050, said Kaye.

Transfer students can either have their Associates in Arts from a Florida community college, or if they have less than 60 credit hours, they have to meet grade point average and test score requirements.

The university admitted 427 Florida community college transfer students for fall 2005. Of the transfer students, 72 percent came from Florida Community College of Jacksonville.

The other 28 percent came from other Florida community colleges, according to the New Freshman and Transfer Student Geographic Distribution handout from the Office of Institutional Research.

The biggest college inside UNF is the College of Arts and Sciences, said Kaye, because general education is taught in it. According to the 2005 University of North Florida 2005-2015 Master Plan Update, the College of Arts and Science had approximately 3,700 students and the smallest college, the College of Computing, Engineering and Construction, had almost 80 students. There were also almost 5,900 students who had not declared a major in 2005.

Last year, the student population was 59 percent female and 41 percent male, according to the 2005 Master Plan Update. The student population was also 75.9 percent white, 10.4 percent black, 5 percent Asian and 5.6 percent Hispanic.

"The average age [of students] has been decreasing over the past few years because UNF is increasing at the freshman level," said Kaye. The majority of students in fall 2005 were between the ages of 18 to 24 according to the Office of Institutional Research. The next biggest age group in 2005 was 25-30 and the smallest age group was under the age of 18 with 28 students.

"The university has tried to grow carefully and responsibly," said Kaye. "We want to be sure we offer courses that meet students needs while meeting needs of our community."
