BY JOYCE ENG Staff Reporter More than 500 students gathered on the North Green Friday to celebrate diversity "and encourage tolerance at the university's inau gural Unity Day. Cynthia Cummings. associate vice president of Campus Life and one of the minds behind Unity Day, said the purpose ofthe event was to bond the university and establish a sense of unity in the com munity. "It's a chance to meet people you don't ordinarily associate with," Cummings said. "We tend to hang out with people we know and like and stick with a group, so this is a chance to mingle, meet and spend time with new people." The idea for Unity Day stemmed from the numerous hate crimes that plagued campus last semester, Cummings said. Various students from multicultural groups brainstormed with Cummings, University President David P. Roselle and Marilyn Prime, director of Student Centers, to develop an event to curb these incidences and create a sense of cohesiveness and understanding. The event kicked off with a march from various campus loca tions to the North Green, where students, faculty and com munity residents socialized and mingled against a backdrop of belly dancers, comedy skits and personal readings by students. Lalena Luna, program coordinator of Student Centers chairwoman of the Unity Day student planning com- mittee, said she left many of the decisions and planning up to the students on the committee, chosen from various cultural groups on campus. The committee chose the evening's Keynote speaker, Lee Mun Wah, a renowned Chinese-American therapist, educa tor, poet, filmmaker, folk-teller and author. Senior Jennifer Sun, committee member and co-President of the East and Southeast Asian Union, recommended Lee as the speaker. ~·1 heard of him through UConn, and they said how great he his, how he's been on Oprah and won all these awards and people leave [his workshops] crying," Sun said.

BY BETHANY DIORIO Staff Reporter President David P. Roselle and university faculty members celebrated the open house of the foreign lan guage building, Jastak-Burgess Hall, on Old College last Friday. Foreign language professor Carmen Finnicum said this is the first time all of the department's faculty are in the same building. Before the professors were spread across campus in Smith Hall, Mitchell Hall and the Foreign Language Annex, Finnicum said. "Our department has really grown," she said, "I think that we feel lucky and grateful to have been given such an outstanding building in which to work." Finnicum said she is pleased with the new building since it is convenient and has attractive architecture. It also includes a conference room, lounge and media center.
Spanish professor Persephone Braham said the 62 new offices are comfortable and large, although she said she has not iewed the full interior of the building yet. She said the new building was a necessary move since many students got lost in Smith Hall. "The floor plan was very confusing," Braham said. "You could walk for a long time in the wrong direction try ing to find your office." Another advantage of the new building is its proximi ty to the parking lot and a Spanish-speaking bagel shop, which is located next to it, she said. Senior Ben Black, a Spanish education major, said Jastak-Burgess Hall is nicer and cleaner than Smith Hall. Black said he constantly had to juggle going back and forth between Smith Hall and Delaware Avenue. "If I need to talk to someone," he said, "I'm not run ning around trying to find everyone."

The Review April 25, 2006 7 New Jersey nips smoking in.the butt
BY ALISON MILITANO StaffReporter New Jersey residents need to put out·those cigarettes- the era of indoor smoking has been permanently extinguished in the state. The new legislation, passed by Gov. Jon Corzine last week, bans the smoking of cigarettes, cigars and pipes in any indoor establishment, except casinos. And, there is a proposed law that would ban smoking within 25 feet of an establishment if passed this May. Gretchen Michael, spokeswoman for Dr. Fred M. Jacobs, New Jersey Department of health and senior services commissioner, who advises Corzine on Health Issues and Politics, said the .law was passed in the pub lic health interest of New Jersey residents. "Smoking kills people," she said. "Second-hand smoke causes people in the workforce who don't smoke to get sick and die." Anthony Baiamonte, manager for Mugsy's Bar and Grill in Toms River, N.J., said he thinks the ban is a good idea. "It will bring the families back," he said. "Smoking has kept a lot of courtesy of the city of Newark families and their business away." Despite contracting disputes, the Newark Reservoir may be open to the public in June. Amy Hindman, manager at the Boathouse.Bar and Grill in Belmar, N.J., said she agrees the new smoking ban is a good step. "People who smoke are still going to go out," she said. "But now more people wtro don't smoke are going to be willing to come out now too."

Delivered on April 18, baby Suri (Hebrew for "princess"/Persian for "red rose") weighed in at 7lbs, 7oz. No word on whether Tom Cruise squealed like a sissy the entire time, but it's safe to assume he did. Courtney Love is apparently house hunting in London. The former Hole frontwoman, who recently recieved more than $50 million for her share in the Nirvana ·song catalog, has been frequenting the U.K. lately, reports www.megastar.com. The Web site also claims Love has become chummy with Jude Law's ex, Sadie Frost, and has written a song for drug-addled Babyshambles singer Pete Dougherty. Nick Lachey is apparently mote than a chapstick-loving meathead. The singer opened up to Rolling Stone, saying, "I'll tell you how I knew my marriage was over: I was told." Lachey also claims Jessica Simpson's father, Joe, had an "influence" on their marriage, saying, "I don't know if he ever [liked] me. To this day I couldn't say." There's probably no corre lation between this interview and the release of his new album, "What's Left of Me," on May 9. Ryan Seacrest and Teri Hatcher have apparently broken up. Right, who would have seen that coming? Star Magazine reports NicoUete Slreridan willsing a duet with fiancee Michael Bolton on the singer's upcoming album, "Bolton Swings Sinatra." Due out May 28, the album will feature the couple singing "The Second Time Around." Eminem and Kim are over, again.
