Phi Mu Alpha serenades less

BY COLLEEN DOURNEY CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia has long been known for its ‘singing Valentines’ offered on Valentine’s Day at the University of Miami.

This year, however, these valentines will be limited. Due to Valentine’s Day falling on a Sunday, the president of Phi Mu Alpha, junior Luke Cramer, felt it was best for his musical fraternity to hold off on the normal extensive advertising of these valentines.

“The fact that Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday this year made it kind of awkward because Friday seemed too early to do it and relationships might get a bit testy if the gift comes the day after,” Cramer said.

Don’t worry though, the scheme has not been completely done away with, because of UM’s many enthusiastic fans of the singing Valentines and their reputation.

The beloved paper-mâché heart that marches into classrooms and delivers a song of the customer’s choice to their valentine in harmony, with other Phi Mu Alpha brothers will still be made.

A few valentines are planned for delivery already, including one for President Donna Shalala, whose birthday is actually on Valentine’s Day. “Music is one of the most amazing gifts a person can give, so we’re still offering the singing Valentines, just not as many,” Cramer said.

And music is exactly what Phi Mu Alpha plans to give audiences Monday, Feb. 15 at the Gusman Hall during their wind ensemble performance. They have long awaited the chance to play a Gus-

This concert has been planned entirely by the members of Phi Mu Alpha and aims to showcase a majority of the Frost Music School’s students, including the music organizations of Sigma Alpha Iota, a women’s fraternity, and Tau Beta Sigma, the band honor society. The participants have been organizing the event since the beginning of last semester. The concert will also feature the three-movement composition piece “Portraits of War,” written entirely by Victor Gonzalez, a senior studying percussion.

Assistant dean of the music school and advisor to Phi Mu Alpha, Ken Moses, views the concert as an opportunity for music students to express what they’ve

learned outside of the classroom.

“The wind ensemble offers a wonderful way to give students a chance to put ownership on something that would be entirely theirs,” Moses said.

The majority of the music at the concert will be Americanthemed. Phi Mu Alpha has contributed many of their resources to the upcoming wind ensemble concert which, according to Cramer, accounts for the year-long hiatus of the singing Valentines.

“We’ve been practicing a lot for the concert and haven’t had as much time to dedicate to the singing Valentines because of it. It’s hard to find a day that everyone can get together and rehearse, so imagine having to find a day where enough people can perform singing Valentines,” Moses said.

If you’re one of the fans of the singing Valentines that can’t wait until next year, Cramer suggests emailing him to set something up for one of the limited spaces available this year at l.cramer@umiami.edu.

What’s in store for the U President of SG speaks on issues

Student volunteers and special citizens participate in activities

BY NINA RUGGIERO ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Members of the UM Student Senate dressed in orange polos crowded the Rock yesterday afternoon to watch Student Government President Lionel Moise make his State of the “U” Address.

Moise ran unopposed last spring w-.ith Kristen Weaver as his vice president and Jeremy Kruger as his treasurer under the motto “U Matter, U Decide, U Win.” He updated the student body on his progress and goals for the future.

“Lionel has been working on all platforms and trying to get everything done,” Speaker of the Senate Christina Farmer said. “He has kept an open mind with the senate and will serve as a good model for the next president.”

He first began by recounting his success in bringing back the Ibis Ride immediately after his inauguration. Under Moise a shuttle has also been running on the first Saturday of every month from Stanford Circle to Key Biscayne. Moise was able to bring back the airport shuttles during holidays and even had the Sunset shuttle running during Thanksgiving break for those who couldn’t travel home.

“This was especially touching because of the economic crisis,” Moise said.

Student government is working on new ways to make the UV shuttles more efficient and accommodate the increase in passengers caused by Red Road Commons.

Express shuttles have been activated and more improvements are expected next semester.

Moise went on to speak about his green initiatives, including putting blue lids on the recycling bins around campus to make them more obvious and going trayless in the dining halls, something that has received mixed feedback from students.

“Although we have received some complaints I’m pleased to announce this program has saved over 46 tons of waste,” he said.

At the top of the president’s agenda this year were academics and advising. A new advising compact, which lays out the rights and responsibilities of both students

FOR THE STUDENTS: Senior Ricky Fernandez (left) and Student Body President Lionel Moise respond to a question from the crowd. and their advisors, will soon be available in order to clear up past issues. The senate is also working to push back the last day to add a class to give students more time to figure out their schedules each semester.

Last fall, library hours were extended to 24/7 for the last week of classes each semester, giving students more time to study there for finals. One-hundred UPrint dollars now carry over for an entire academic year and a printer was added to the UC. Additionally, the Moise administration had the campus bookstore offer discounts before sporting events. For those who prefer a night in to a night at the stadium, Student Government is finalizing deals for bringing a movie rental service to campus.

Moise announced that the expansion of the Wellness Center will begin in the upcoming months, but expressed a degree of uncertainty for the fate of the UC. A new community service project in collaboration with the Civic Engagement Task Force is in the works as well.

“We are working to incorporate service into courses so students can apply what they are learning into the community,” Moise said.

In order to alleviate the parking issue the Mahoney/Pearson lots will soon be commuter only, but residents are guaranteed sole usage of their garage. Moise said this plan will definitely open more than 100 spots on campus.

The on-campus housing conflict caused by the destruction of the apartment area remains up in the air, though Moise said the university expects the best case scenario, that the available housing will accommodate the demand.

The “Opt-in” process, a survey to determine how many students will choose to live on-campus next semester, is currently taking place.

As Moise faces the last few months of his term, members of the senate expressed appreciation for his service.

“Lionel has always been good about interacting with us if we have concerns,” SpectrUM Senator Debora Rubi said. Campaigning for the future candidates begins next week.

“Today solidified that the year is almost over; my college career is almost over,” Moise said. “But it’s been a great and amazing experience.”

Just hours before Valentine’s Day, special guests at the University of Miami will be treated to a busy day of activities and greeted by the smiling faces of hundreds of Hurricanes.

For FunDay 2010, over 400 “special citizens” will be coming to the university for a field day and a number of playful activities as they interact with about 700 student volunteers. This year, however, the 13-member executive board has planned new events that will give the event a unique spin. “[It’s] unique because it is for the special citizens, and students get to have fun while volunteering and experiencing life from a different perspective,” said senior Justina Martynaityte, a co-chair of FunDay. “[The event] is significant to me since I have been working with special citizens since high school and find that volunteering with them is the most rewarding to me at the end of the day.”

Among the event’s featured sponsors are Chartwells, who will be hosting a catered barbecue for the guests and participants, the UM and Nova Southeastern University Center for Autism and Relation Disabilities and several Greek organizations.

“It is the longest student-run organization on campus,” said junior Mike Young, also a co-chair of the event. “It is unlike any other because it creates a day totally dedicated to giving back to those that are mentally and physically disabled.”

In years past, FunDay has featured themes like superheroes and Walt Disney. This year, the theme is based on a carnival. The theme determines what kinds of activities will take place at the event. For example, for the superhero theme, FunDay hosted a cape-making contest for each of the visiting guests.

“FunDay was definitely a great experience for me,” said junior Shaun Calnan, a FunDay volunteer from last year. “I had a blast meeting the guests and other UM students. I feel like the student has just as much fun as the guests.”

To participate, students need only be present at the Rock on Saturday morning at 9 a.m., to register. Special citizens will then be accompanied by groups of volunteers that will escort them to different activity stations throughout campus.

“I can’t describe how wonderful it feels to see all the joy that this day truly brings to these people,” Young said.

Get the blood pumping Honor society hosts 5K run/walk

BY COLLEEN DOURNEY CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Candy hearts have long been the theme of Valentine’s Day, but this weekend the organ itself will be the focus for Golden Key International Honour Society members.

The society will be holding their first annual Valentine’s Day 5K run/walk Sunday, Feb. 14 with its starting line at Crandon Park South on Key Biscayne.

The race costs $20 per person to enter or, in keeping with the spirit of the holiday, $35 per couple. Fees are raised to $25 per person and $40 per couple if registering the day of the run.

All proceeds will go to benefit the City of Miami’s Public Access Defibrillation Program, in an effort to provide awareness, training, management and oversight for publicly accessible defibrillation.

The program will also help fund the placement of Automated External Defibrillators all around Miami.

The purpose of a defibrillator is to deliver electric pulses through a person’s body if they are having a heart attack, in order to help their heart beat normally again.

The society's president and organizer of the event, junior Monika Freiser, felt a close connection with the effort to place AEDs all around Miami because of a personal experience.

“A close relative of mine passed away because of cardiac arrest and the closest AED was ten minutes away," she said. "Sudden cardiac arrest normally leaves you with two to four minutes to revive someone, so a closer AED might have made a difference."

With this experience in mind, Freiser organized the Valentine’s Day 5K in hopes that the money the race raises will help fund the installation of AEDs in places that people frequent around Miami.

Michelle Dominguez, a volunteer and UM graduate, agreed to help out in order to educate the public about a cause that she claimed "hits home for many people."

“In the run itself, we're hoping to raise not only funds, but also awareness about a program that could potentially save lives," Dominguez said. "I think the race 4

So far, there are about 150 people registered to run the 3.1-mile course and more are expected. The 5K offers a free t-shirt with registration. Rides to and from the event’s location on Key Biscayne are available to students who need them if they submit a request to info@ vday5k.com. Other activities occurring before the run are a speech by a cardiac arrest survivor whose life was saved by an AED, a performance and class by Salsa Craze and a warm-up stretch routine by the Niketown Run Club.

After the race, there will be several booths set up with information from the various sponsors of the run, including the premier sponsor, Relive Research & Development Corporation. There will be 15 different age categories and the top three finishers in each category will receive an award. The top two finishers will receive $90 toward Mizuno shoes from Runner’s Co. in Doral.

How to help Haiti Students of all types discuss solutions

BY ANDREA CONCEPCION CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

The Haitian Student Organization (HSO), along with the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS), hosted a roundtable discussion last night at the Wesley Center discussing initiatives that UM will commit to for helping Haiti.

The purpose was for HSO to create a movement to keep the relief efforts going, even longer. Arielle Duverda, an HSO member and coordinator for the event, said that the drives and donations can’t go on forever.

“As a collective student body, here [at UM] or elsewhere we have to help out in the community,” she said. “A lot is still needed.”

The discussion was initially supposed to be an event where students who were in Haiti during the quake and Haitian students would talk about their experiences.

“A lot of people did not want to talk about it,” Duverda said. “The thought made the event less intriguing.”

Under executive director Tiffany Madera, CLAS was all for the idea of creating a

platform for students to voice their ideas and vision.

“I support students having their own opinions to frame their lives,” Madera said.

A variety of people came from those working for Haiti relations to non-Haitian UM students. People talked about the need for a course on Haiti.

Dr. Steve J. Stein, director for CLAS, wants students to do long-term projects in Haiti, whether through study abroad or other planning programs.

“We’re a university; we’re supposed to do this,” Stein said. “Well, let’s do it.”

Senior Vanessa Joseph spoke out about the apathy coming from the university’s administration, in regards to helping the relief effort.

Joseph was one of the first to e-mail President Shalala about offering Haiti assistance but she kept getting bounced from one administrative member to the next. Many people, like HSO treasurer Gerard Mathelier came to the roundtable to go forward not back.

“I know what happened was devastating but we should look towards the future,” he said.

Don’t let Valentine’s Day get you down In elementary school Valentine’s Day was an all inclusive holiday. Scooby Doo and My Little Pony-themed cards were given to everyone in the classroom. Each student received not only a valentine, but usually a box of those little candy hearts.

Fast forwarding to the present, a general gloom seems to surround the holiday for some at the University of Miami. Many without a significant other see this holiday as a day that only emphasizes their singleness.

Before declaring this holiday “Single Awareness Day,” or a conspiracy engineered by Hallmark to encourage the purchasing of greeting cards, this Valentines Day needs to be put into context.

First, Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday this year, traditionally a school night.

Therefore, the absence of a boyfriend/girlfriend to celebrate with will not be as ap-

parent as it would be if it was on a Friday or Saturday. Friends in relationships will still be available to rage or relax with their single friends over most the weekend.

Also, being single does not require someone to stew in isolation this Sunday night. A local happy hour or night out with other dateless people can be equally as fun as the more traditional dinner date. Remember there is power in numbers.

Last, before placing a pessimistic emphasis on Valentine’s Day think about all the other days people celebrate that don’t include everyone. Christmas and Hanukkah should not be looked poorly upon because they celebrate certain religious traditions. Portraying either day in a negative light would not be acceptable.

Although the meaning of this day has changed for many of us, whether it is for the better or worse, it should not be taken

Reforming spirit necessary for progress he Obama campaign successfully got the nation drunk, lavished in their orgasmic triumph on election night, and even to forget to put on a condom. We are now pregnant, and morning sickness is a killer. Now Obama’s approval ratings make the mood of Americans quite clear: we don’t want this baby.

Social conservatives are clamoring for an abortion of the Obama presidency. While JOSH KORNFIELD I’m pro-choice, I still believe that abortions CONTRIBUTING should be incredibly rare, and we should let COLUMNIST the baby live. Nevertheless, I’m just a college student and shudder at the thought of needing to pay child support for the rest of my life.

I consider myself a liberal Democrat. I’m not ashamed to say I believe in a big government that makes health care a fundamental right, considers a first-class education of our youth a national priority, strictly regulates greedy corporate giants, protects our environment and safeguards our civil liberties. I am ashamed of Mr. Obama’s and the Democratic Party’s recent track record in failing to ensure that any of these valuable reforms are realized. In a nation encumbered by formidable challenges, the only sensible approach is reform.

If we allow a world where American students fail to meet the academic standards set by educational systems in most other devel-

T

oped nations, America’s demise is imminent. Despite the fact that one-quarter of American students fail to graduate high school and that American students in general ranked 18th in a list of students in 36 developed nations, conservative leaders argue that we ought to take pride in our educational system. After all, we are the nation of Harvard, Yale and MIT. Well, those institutions have been around for a while, and their successes certainly wouldn’t indicate flaws in our current system. There are two basic approaches to this issue: the progressive approach and the conservative approach.

The conservative approach always encourages either an effort to regress to an antiquated way of doing things or to do nothing.

Our country is afflicted with too many systemic conditions to allow for this mindset. We need to be a nation of reformers. I fear that Obama has already exhausted most of America’s reforming spirit without signing significant reform into law. Nevertheless, despite Obama’s failed presidency, we must continue to elect politicians that promise some type of reform. Politicians that don’t advocate modernization of our energy infrastructure, educational system, health care system, welfare system, military and civil rights laws aren’t worthy of a voter’s attention.

-Josh Kornfield, Contributing Columnist

Every guy loves to test the taken waters love meeting people, especially women.

Whether they’re taken or not doesn’t matter in the interest of being social. The latter, however, is always preferable for obvious reasons.

It is interesting, though, to get feedback from women who are taken. Some like to tell you up front they have a significant other so they don’t get your hopes up. There’s also a small group of calculating and sadistic women who like to casually slip their EVAN SEAMAN CONTRIBUTING relationship into conversation weeks down the road, COLUMNIST expecting me to either reveal a tick of disgust or be ambivalent over the matter.

Some girls are simply friendly, with no ulterior motive except the satisfaction of knowing that if they were on the dating market, they would still be desirable. But guys can overlook girls’ seemingly innocent kindness as an open invitation to “swoop in,” despite their relationship status.

Other girls feel the need to “remind” you every five seconds about their

I

boyfriend. This is because they are unhappy with the current state of affairs, they feel disloyal confiding in other men or they are conflicted, all of which elicits a migraine or two.

For example, I could be talking to a girl about a difficult homework assignment and she immediately interjects about her boyfriend’s flawless work ethic and dedication to his degree, which is irrelevant and uninteresting.

If you are a girl who can’t resist these schizophrenic tendencies, refrain from doing so, and if that isn’t possible, cease all communication. There are things I do in my daily routine such as taking bathroom breaks and checking the mail, but I withhold such information because I know it bores others. I know you are capable of refraining when need be.

Furthermore, for guys who like taken girls, but don’t feel like becoming involved in a love triangle, remember that patience is a virtue (or so I’ve been told), and the most rewarding investments are those that take time and care.

Single with

Panache on Valentine’s Day

BY NANCY OBEN CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

The day of all things couples is fast approaching. If you are without a date, however, you don’t have to mope around in your dorm; there are tons of fun things to do while single on Valentine’s Day. First, head over to Sunset Place to watch the new film “Valentine’s Day.” Opening this Friday, the star-filled movie follows characters trying to find romance in Los Angeles on Valentine’s Day. Laugh your single blues away while watching these stars stumble into love.

If you want to go out on Saturday, Miami has plenty of options for a fun Valentine’s weekend.

For all the fashionistas, VIGI Boutique is hosting a "Sex and the City"themed party. The bash “Love Yourself- A Valentine’s Celebration of You” will be held from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Shop the latest fashions by Nicole Miller and Joe’s Jeans while sipping on cocktails. A licensed esthetician will be on site giving skin consultations and samples.

Also, in honor of Valentine’s Day, all pink and red items will be 14 percent off, and shoppers will receive a complimentary red lip gloss with purchase.

When the actual day rolls around, don’t spend Sunday in Club Richter.

Instead, round up other single friends and have

an indulgent meal out.

The Ritz-Carlton on Key Biscayne is having a lavish chocolate buffet. For only $22 per person you can eat your weight in chocolate while overlooking the ocean.

Love don’t cost a thing

BY JAMIE STEPHENS CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

Albert Einstein once said "gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love."

Though this may very well be true, every Feb. 14 it’s as if cupid’s raindrops hail from the sky and pour down a flood of love-struck hysteria on all of mankind.

Valentine's Day, one of the most hated yet beloved holidays in the world, is in-

famous for leaving lovers lost and confused. Nevertheless, that doesn't stop millions of people from running out and spending their last dimes on that special valentine.

Fortunately, this February, fear not. When in doubt, always remember ladies first, and be unique! For instance, red roses and chocolates are somewhat typical and traditional, unless you two are still getting to know one another.

For more veteran and expe-

rienced duos, dinner (like a moonlight beach picnic) and a movie will never really go out of style. Simple but big gestures also play a major role on a Valentine's date including: soft romantic music (perhaps a favorite song), opening doors, genuine compliments and an “I love you” here and there is always a nice touch.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Famous for being one of the oldest homes in the area, its country club décor mixed with beautiful patrons makes the ambiance enough of an aphrodisiac. Though the Italian food is a little pricey, the nouveaux recipes will satisfy your appetite and your mind. If you go, make sure to try the St. Honore cake, the restaurant’s perfected take on a hundred-year-old French recipe.

If you’re willing to travel a substantial distance to make the night unforgettable, Little Palm Island Resort & Spa offers a dining experience that captures the quintessential romantic dinner. Serving gourmet recipes of French and Cuban influence, the restaurant provides guests with private dining on the shore of the beach or on the dock. Consider traveling to the Keys in the morning and visiting historic locations together, then finishing up the night with this private dinner.

The service also offers to prepare delicious picnic baskets for a romantic ‘daycation’ in the Florida Keys.

But if you’re not interested in dinner or daycations, there is always the extra-romantic Valentine’s Day Concert at Fairchild Tropical Gardens.

Located in the center of Coral Gables, Fairchild is a romantic eco-vacation on any day, with its 33-acre terrain of rare plants and glass sculptures. To spice things up, the site is hosting a concert by singer-songwriter Jon Secada. You can also have dinner from a selection of gourmet picnic baskets for two at an average of $35. The show begins at 7 p.m. for the pretty price of $75 per ticket.

There are also many less expensive options for those who have recent-

ly acquired a special someone - and considering most of us are on a college student budget. For a charming dinner located five minutes away from campus, consider Café Pastis. The small French bistro, with authentic French service and quirky décor, will leave you feeling like you’re in a scene from “Amelie.” Spawn of a Marseille-originated restaurant, the maison’s menu sports traditional French meals at a delicious price. Though all the menu items are heavenly, don’t leave without trying the homemade desserts.

If your sweetie prefers culture to cuisine, the Coconut Grove Arts Festival may be an affordable dream date, costing only $10 per person. Running Feb. 13-15, the historic Grove arts festival is a perfect romantic getaway from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for lovers who enjoy fine art, live music and ethnic food. Showcasing 330 international contemporary artists, the festival is a great place to walk and talk and discover new things about one another.

And if music is the sure way to impress your significant other, you can treat them to the classy 11th Annual “Moonlight and Music” Valentine’s Day Concert at Deering Estate.

Few things are more romantic than a concert in a historic home. For only $20 a person, international vocalist Johnny Rodgers will perform his jazz ballads under the stars. Guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets to the event.

Sit back, relax and enjoy quality time with your loved one. That’s what Valentine’s Day is about, isn’t it?

Winding up for a Hurricane comeback Junior returns to pitching after surgery

BY JUSTIN ANTWEIL SPORTS EDITOR

Last year was the most frustrating for redshirt junior Eric Erickson.

The 6-feet, 188-pound lefthander had Tommy John surgery last year and missed the entire 2009 season. The injury really handicapped the Hurricane pitching staff as the team had an ERA of 4.71 and no starter had an ERA below 4.00.

“I really missed being part of the team last year,” said Erickson, a Sarasota, Fla. native. “Last year was just really frustrating and patience was the biggest thing for me. I don’t like watching other people play and I don’t think anyone does. I am a big competitor.”

Erickson was drafted out of high school in the 43rd round by the New York Yankees but elected to pass on the pros and attend the University of Miami to study sports administration.

This past year, he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 20th round of the MLB draft despite the fact that he never threw a pitch.

“What I like about Eric is that he is a winner and a hard worker,” said Polando Pino, the Cubs scout who evaluated Erickson. “We drafted him because of his ability to be a good pitcher. In high school he was a winner and he was a winner at Miami too.

Seven out of 10 pitchers come back stronger from Tommy John surgery. We were not worried.”

Erickson worked tirelessly in rehabilitation this past year to get back in form.

“I feel perfect,” Erickson said.

“I can say I feel better than I did in high school and my freshman year here. I’m pitching in games, throwing bullpens, I’m doing ev-

erything and I feel great.”

Those are encouraging words for Hurricane fans. Erickson is 19-5 in his Cane career, which has earned him a very respectable 3.27 ERA. “I just want to see the [Erickson] we saw before,” head coach Jim Morris said. “And so far, that is what we have seen when he pitched in the fall in a couple of intrasquad games.”

Erickson works quickly and keeps the defense on the balls of their feet. He is a strike-throwing machine and has an above average 3.9-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

“From his first day back he had the command,” pitching coach JD Arteaga said. “He has never been much of a power guy but he has always been able to pitch and locate. The big thing with him is building his endurance. We will take it slow in the beginning especially since he has not pitched in over a year.”

During the rehab process, Erickson sought advice from former teammate and first round draft choice Carlos Gutierrez. Gutierrez, like Erickson, was a redshirt junior after he had Tommy John surgery.

Erickson’s total focus this semester is devoted to baseball.

“I’m on vacation,” he said with a smile. “I have a yoga class that I take once a week on Tuesday mornings. Tuesday and Thursday I have two dance classes. I am taking a sports law class too that meets once a week at night and another class.”

Erickson claims that the yoga and dance classes help with his agility and not only fulfill credit requirements, but also help him on the baseball diamond.

“We have been stretching a lot. I think it will help me in more ways than one. I have done Pilates but never yoga. A lot of big leaguers do it, like Barry Zito,”

The last time Erickson pitched was in relief in the College World Series in 2008 against arch-rival Florida State. Senior right-hander David Gutierrez started the game but got hit in the chest on a line drive in the second inning and was forced to leave

the game. Erickson was called upon and tossed five innings of one run baseball and struck out six Seminoles to pick up the win in an elimination game.

Erickson hopes to bring the Hurricanes back to Omaha for the 12th time in the Jim Morris era.

“We are going to be a Cinderella story,” Erickson said.

“We are a sleeping giant. There is no reason why we shouldn’t go to Omaha and win the whole thing.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Dews pays his dues with buzzer beater Canes beat Yellow Jackets 64-62

BY LELAN LEDOUX SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

New jerseys. New attitude. New BankUnited Center hero as senior James Dews rocked the home crowd.

With the game on the line, Dews hit a baseline jumper as time expired to give the Miami Hurricanes (17-7, 3-7 ACC) a 64-62 victory over the No. 20 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (17-7, 5-5).

“I drew the last play for Dews,” head coach Frank Haith said. “He was struggling all night but James is a senior. [In a] late game like that, I knew he would have the pose. I had confidence in him to make it.”

Dews missed the front end of a oneand-one free throw opportunity with 19 seconds and had a chance to redeem himself after Georgia Tech’s Iman Shumpert hit a game tying layup with nine seconds left.

On the next possession, Dews found himself shot faking two Yellow Jacket players and driving to hit a baseline jumper.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Dews, who scored six points and went over 1,000 career points with his jumper in the first half.

“Coach had confidence in me. [Haith] pulled me aside and said ‘Win this game for us’ and that right there gave me a lot of confidence.”

Georgia Tech came back from a 14-point deficit and eventually tied the game before Dews hit the game winning shot.

The Canes have won five of the last six meetings over Georgia Tech including three straight at the BankUnited Center.

Senior forward Dwayne Collins was outstanding: He finished with a doubledouble with 13 points and 11 rebounds.

His biggest points occurred when the Yellow Jackets were within two and Collins snatched down an offensive rebound and threw down a powerful dunk.

The Hurricanes now hit the road once again traveling to Clemson (17-7, 5-5) to face the Tigers Saturday at noon.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL COMMENTARY

Hurricanes keep their ‘hoops’ high There is something special brewing in the athletics department at the U. It’s not that spring football begins later this month, or that baseball season looms just one week away. It’s the fact that the women’s JUSTIN ANTWEIL SPORTS EDITOR basketball team has a chance to go the NCAA Tournament for the first time since their 2003-2004 campaign.

The Canes (16-7, 3-5) are poised to make a run down the stretch. They have quality wins over No. 10 Florida State and No. 18 North Carolina. The Canes have also played three other top-25 ranked teams and lost by an average of just seven points. The Canes have only lost once all year by double digits.

Fifth-year head coach Katie Meier has done more with less and maximized talent better than anyone in the ACC. She is a competitor who expects to win despite the fact that 80 percent of the team is underclassmen. Meier has never uttered the words “young” or “inexperienced.”

What makes this Canes team special is that others are stepping up besides the dynamic duo of sophomore guards Shenise Johnson and Riquna Williams.

Johnson is the reigning ACC Player of the Week after she notched 25 points, 10 rebounds, eight steals and six assists against highly-touted UNC. Johnson is in the top 10 in the ACC in seven statistical categories. Meanwhile, the weapon on the other wing, Williams, is second in the ACC in scoring, averaging 19.9 points per game. But it’s the other players who have risen to the occasion. Miami is undersized at the power forward and center positions, but their heart and determination are immeasurable.

Senior forward Diane Barnes stands at just 6 feet 2 inches, but is sixth in the ACC in rebounds per game averaging 8.0.

Freshman forward Morgan Stroman has been superb to say the least. She is averaging 8.0 points per game and 6.2 rebounds. She has also made clutch free throws when called upon.

And freshman guard Stephanie Yderstrom has been lethal from the wing,

averaging over eight points a game. She is a scrappy player who never is afraid to draw a charge.

Miami plays fundamentally sound basketball. They are first in the ACC in assist-to-turnover ratio and third in turnover margin. The chemistry is at an alltime high and the team is not afraid of any opponent.

They played a tough out-of-conference schedule which prepared them well for the ACC, the fiercest conference in women’s basketball.

Last month I had the privilege of traveling with the women’s team for WVUM radio to announce the Maryland game in College Park. Miami snapped the Lady Terps 48-game home winning streak. But what impressed me was not the ability to win in a hostile environment, but the team’s preparation.

The team watched film on the bus, on the way to the hotel from the airport and even during the pregame meal.

Their morning shoot around was intense and the scouting by the assistant coaches was perfect.

The Canes have a favorable schedule down the stretch. They have six ACC games left and three are televised.

This team has all the tools, and more importantly heart and self-confidence, to continue to shock the Coral Gables community and make a name for the program nationally.

And don’t expect this squad to be a one-hit wonder. Of the four recruits for the 2010 class, all of them are nominated to play in the McDonald’s All-American game this April.

SPORTS BRIEFS BASEBALL The University of Miami baseball team will hold its fourth annual Baseball Fanfest Saturday at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field at 3:30 p.m. The event is open to the public for free.

VOLLEYBALL Second-year Assistant Coach Laura Kuhn was awarded a “Thirty Under 30 Award” by the American Volleyball Coaches Association, an honor that recognizes up-and-coming volleyball coaches under 30 years of age in the sport at all levels of the game.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Shenise Johnson was named the ACC’s “Women’s Player of the Week” this past week. She was a star in the Canes’ past two victories over SIU Edwardsville and UNC. The team will look to continue their success at the BankUnited Center on Thursday night when they host the Virginia Cavaliers at 7 p.m.

dear ...

Dear V: My guy’s junk is in a funk...

Dear Foot Chewer, , Dear V, My boyfriend and I are both seniors and have been together since pretty much the beginning of freshman year.

We’re madly in love and there’s never a dull moment in bed. Now that graduation is fast approaching, I feel like it’s time to start thinking about the “next step.” One night I mentioned the possibility of marriage to him, and he got all awkward and quiet. Since then, whenever we try and get it on, he either has trouble getting it up, or he goes flaccid in the middle. Should I not have mentioned this? Did I do something wrong? How do I fix this? Do you think that our relationship is doomed?? Help me!

Chick chewing on her foot

Take a deep breath, there is no reason to think your relationship is headed off the deep end. Honestly, I think it’s perfectly natural to bring up the scary topic in your situation- you all have been together for awhile and if you’re as in love as you say you are, why would you want to stop dating? Your boy’s reaction, however, is also very normal and to be expected, as most men this age run from commitment like the plague.

As a result of this fear, it can be a natural reaction to have some... unexpected shortcomings in the bedroom. Strong emotions can display themselves in physical ways, much like it seems you’re dealing with. Unless something else is also affecting him (which is unlikely considering the timing), what you said has probably had some affect on his man parts.

This doesn’t mean, however, that you shouldn’t have mentioned it, or that you did anything wrong. This is

clearly an issue that you felt needed discussing and as a couple “madly in love” you two should be able to discuss it.

If the topic really did make him uncomfortable, tell him to relax and not worry about it just yet. You don’t want just thinking about what could happen down the road to ruin the time you have together right now. Once he relaxes and stops worrying about everything, all parts should be back to normal.
