U

M students stormed the BankUnited Center floor at the final buzzer as a season high crowd of 7,261 were on hand to witness a much-needed victory against rival Florida State.

With Reggie Johnson forced by the NCAA to sit, Miami (17-10, 8-6 ACC) prevailed 78-62 against No. 15 Florida State (19-9, 10-4 ACC) in a critical game for the team ’s NCAA Tournament hopes.

The crowd of 7,261 was the second-largest ever at the Bank United Center, only behind last seasons game against Duke.

“It ’s one thing I ’ve always wanted — just for the crowd to storm the court and experience that feeling, ” guard Durand Scott said of being rushed by the students, which hadn ’t happened for a men ’s game at the BankUnited Center since a 2009 victory against Wake Forest. “I got it today, and it was just one of the greatest feelings of my life. ” FSU coach Leonard Hamilton extended the game as long as he could. The Seminoles began fouling with four minutes remaining, but UM hit enough free throws, broke the full court press and got the stops they needed to pull out the win.

Coach Jim Larranaga was pleased with how Miami, who had previously lost six straight and 11 of its last 12 to Florida State , was able to shine despite the news of Johnson ’s ineligibility.

n a close race, the “Inspired by U ” ticket defeated “Think B.I.G. ” and won all three positions on the Student Government executive board.

Treasurer-elect Kenneth Esman and Vice President-elect Catilin Giles beat Ian Bai and Emily Stanch of “Think B.I.G., ” respectively by 126 and 127 votes. President-elect Nawara Alawa beat Parket Barnett, the presidential candidate on “Think B.I.G. ” by only 61 votes.

“I couldn ’t have done it without my team, ” Alawa said after the results were announced Friday afternoon.

Students have expressed opposing views over the election outcome.

“I ’m glad ‘Inspired by U ’ won, ” sophomore Daniel Kolender said. “The platforms were both pretty similar on major issues, but with ‘Inspired by U ’s fifth year, I like their policies better. ” However, junior Kelsey Kearns believes “Think B.I.G. ” should have won.

“This ticket challenged the idea Student Government elections is just a pass down process from one group of friends to the next, ” she said. “They did not rely on the support of the current SG or piggyback off of preexisting initiatives. ” The results had been postponed after the Elections Commission revealed Wednesday evening that alleged code violations had been filed against both tickets.

The last time elections results were delayed was in 2008, when the “All About U ” and “Committed to U ” tickets were both accused of violating election codes during a run-off election. “Committed to U ” eventually won the election.

Pink snail makes its way to campus Sculptor honors basketball coach

Check out what’s exclusively available at TheMiamiHurricane. com.

BY ASHLEY MARTINEZ CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

An 8-foot tall pink snail is now at the University of Miami.

Now located in the front of the Wellness Center, the snail first appeared in front of the BankUnited Center by request of the women ’s basketball team, said Carol Switzer, the gallery director who runs Galleria Ca ’ d ’Oro Miami.

The snail was placed in front of the BUC to call attention to the players who wore pink in honor of Kay Vow, the former North Carolina State women ’s basketball coach who died of breast cancer.

Some students were confused by the snails at first.

“I was like, ‘Why there is a huge big snail here? ’ ” freshman Rachel Frisch said. “There should have been a sign. ” The snails were created by the Cracking Art Group, six European artists who create public art out of recyclable plastic.

The snails were first seen in Coral Gables last January for about two months, in places including Merrick Park, City Hall and the Coral Gables Library.

Miami is just one of the many cities worldwide that have been invaded by the giant, colorful creatures.

Switzer said the pink snails are perfect for Miami.

“The pink snail is my favorite, ” she said. “Pink is fabulous and a great color in so many ways. It looks great at night and looks even better in the sun, but it doesn ’t have to be lit because it gives off its own light. ” Beneath those vibrant shells

lies a deeper message.

Switzer said the snail ’s shape resembles the human ear, which represents taking the time to slow down and listen. The shell is the snail ’s home, so it symbolizes getting involved with the city you live in.

There is also a theme of embracing technology because the word for the “@ ” symbol used in email addresses translates as

“snail ” in Italian.

“I was shocked when I first learned about all of the deep metaphors the snails represented, ” said junior Daniella Salvatore, an intern at Galleria Ca ’ d ’Oro. “A lot of people look at the sculpture and go, ‘Wow, a big pink snail. ’ But for others who are aware of the deeper meanings of the snail, it means a lot more to them. ”

The College Universitaire de Sciences Po is a prestigious French university that specializes in the social sciences, including economics, sociology, political science and history. Students interested in applying, however, can be from any field.

Sophomore Kimberly Thompson is interested in the College Universitaire de Sciences Po because she wants to take classes in French and English.

“I ’m looking for a university that offers a variety of subjects, ” she said.

The campus in Paris is the largest of the four campuses and is located in St. Germain, one of the more expensive neighborhoods. Though the area is Feb. 27 - Feb. 29, 2012

Requests for housing assistance for a fall semester must be made before April and before October for a spring semester. The other campuses are smaller, with only several hundred students.

“If I could choose, I would go to Menton, ” Primov said. “It is on the French Riviera and is an easy distance of Nice, Monaco and Italy.

Study: LGBT community more likely to be consumers Advertisers realize need to target specific market

BY STEPHANIE MARTIN CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

As the acceptance of the homosexual, transgender and bisexual community rises, so does advertisers ’ realization of the need to target that market, according to a recent study by School of Communication advertising professor Wan-Hsiu “Sunny ” Tsai.

Just a couple of years ago, the portrayal of gays in the media were few and far between, but as the acceptance of differences increases in the United States, people are also seeing a greater representation of gays.

Advertisers are noticing that the gay market is definitely one worth pursuing, and that is why people are seeing more and more commercials and advertisements targeted toward this minority group, Tsai said.

The reason for advertisers ’ realization is simple, according to Tsai ’s study. Gay people, in general, tend to have a higher disposable income than heterosexuals.

Therefore, advertisers are portraying gays as an image of stylish consumers with edgy, high-end tastes such as fashion, design and alcohol.

“I showed the ads to my gay and lesbian participants during the interview and asked them to comment and talk about how they see themselves compared to what they see in the commercials, ” said Tsai, who interviewed 25 self-identified gay and lesbian participants in her study. “I also asked how that impacted how they see themselves and how society would see them. ” One of the ads Tsai showed her participants was from 1994, in which IKEA showcased a gay relationship. The ad showed a white, middle-aged, gay couple shopping for a dining table together as a gesture of

their commitment to one another.

The commercial continues with the men describing their different tastes in decor and how well-built IKEA furniture is, alluding to the stability of their relationship.

“What I found interesting was that a lot of them were just very happy to find visibility, ” Tsai said. “There are stereotype issues, but visibility and the political issues as the main parts of the media are very important. So they are very tolerant of the stereotypes for now. They are definitely happy to see that the ads, sometimes, show gay and lesbian couples as just like everybody else. ” Junior Shelby Juarez believes that it is a “big step ” that more gays are represented in advertising. Juarez is a member of SpectrUM, a student organization that celebrates diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity.

“Once I started looking around, I was Feb. 27 - Feb. 29, 2012

surprised that I was able to find so many of these ads, ” she said. “They ’re working with stereotypes, but you have to think about the fact that it ’s OK that they ’re gay and that they are on TV. ” Matthew Page, a third-year psychology doctoral student from a religious family, came out at 18 and became interested in researching religion and sexual identity.

He said he enjoyed reading Tsai ’s study and agreed with the stereotype issues.

“I think that gay men are under enormous pressure to be masculine, and I do not believe gay men typically receive the message that they have to be more feminine after watching these ads, ” Page said. “Instead, I think having effeminate gay men in advertisements indicates that society is still largely operating under the assumption that being a gay man means being effeminate.

In the gay community, most of us know that that is not true. ” THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Recycling machines remain unnoticed Green U teams up with Coca-Cola

BY MELISSA CROOKS CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Recycling cans and bottles on campus can now be done more efficiently.

Green U, in conjuction with Coca-Cola, introduced recycling machines last semester. The machines empty cans and bottles so they are ready for the recycling stream and can be made into new products. They are currently on the first and second floors of the Dooley Memorial Building.

However, few students are aware of their existence.

“I haven ’t heard about it, but I think it ’s a really good idea, ” senior Rachel Hamer said.

The machines are part of larger recycling initiatives by Green U to help spread student awareness and begin a green trend on campus.

ity and to educate the community to be ambassadors of the environment.

With recycling as one of its main goals, Green U partnered with Coca-Cola last fall and devised a recycling machine that would benefit the campus and help the university achieve its environmental benchmarks.

“They had a proposition for us and I was really intrigued as I knew Pepsi had recycling machines, which allowed you to gain points and receive prizes, ” said Ian McKeown, UM ’s Sustainability Coordinator.

The machines were installed last fall. McKeown said he felt this was a good place to trial the machines because many students have classes in Memorial and they were conveniently placed next to vending machines.

“The machines are still on a pilot at the moment to see how it goes, ” McKeown said. “We are still waiting on figures to reveal the success of the machines to see if this is something we would possibly like to develop and expand on. ”

Employees get site, phone line for medical needs UHealth Connect system aims to help more users

MARLENA SKROBE // Photo Editor

WINNING: (From left) Junior Emilia Lispi, Vice President-elect junior Caitlin Giles, President-elect junior Nawara Alawa and freshman Roly Calderin celebrate on the Rock on Friday, when the “Inspired by U” ticket won the SG elections. Results were delayed until Friday because of code violation trials involving both tickets.

‘Inspired by U’ wins SG election ELECTION FROM PAGE 1 After SG Supreme Court trials Thursday night, “Think B.I.G ” was issued 18 points for violations and “Inspired by U ” was found not guilty, receiving no points.

After the trials, Associate Chief Justice Sean Norris said that the court looked at precedent and determined the severity of the case based on the number of times the violation took place.

“It was a good decision to keep both tickets on the ballot, ” sophomore Emily Northrop said. “Since neither one was disqualified, it gave more opportunity for student voices to be heard. ” The first trial Wednesday night found “Think B.I.G. ” guilty of graphic campaigning in the University Center areas surrounding the polling booths.

Ryan Aquilina, who filed the violation on behalf of “Inspired by U, ” presented photographs of students wearing red shirts surrounding the Election Commission ’s computers in the UC Breezeway.

However, not all the pictures presented as evidence were validated.

“We didn ’t go into that thinking we weren ’t going to get points, ” Barnett said after their trial. “What we did was a violation. ” Still, Barnett thought that being disqualified would have undermined the election process.

The ticket ended up with a total of 19 points amounted because of a previous violation. “Think B.I.G. ” received one point during another trial Tuesday, which addressed a violation in which a student wearing a “Think B.I.G. ” T-shirt was photographed at the men ’s basketball game against North Carolina. SG Press Secretary Mike Piacentino, an “Inspired by U ” supporter, filed the violation.

The accumulation of 20 points would have disqualified the ticket, Norris said.

“We wanted to send a message that what happened certainly affects the elections, but it was not serious enough to warrant disqualification, ” Norris said Thursday.

“Inspired by U ” was accused of allegedly using an office in the University Center, more specifically the Student Government office, as a campaign base. The court decided unanimously not to issue any points.

The incident in discussion involved a meeting in the SG office Tuesday that was called by Piacentino to discuss trial procedures with court members before the first “Think B.I.G. ” trial. Piacentino and his witnesses testified that no campaign-related discussions occurred during the gathering.

Norris sat out during the deliberation after the “Inspired by U ” trial because he was present during the gathering in the SG office Tuesday night.

“If anything, the blip in the road, the trial, made our team stronger, ” Alawa said.

On Wednesday afternoon after the allegations against each ticket were announced, the two tickets were given the option of either mutually dropping the charges against each other or having both charges go to trial. Aquilina said “Inspired

by U ” was willing to drop the charges, but “Think B.I.G. ” chose to let the matter go to trial.

However, Barnett said that “Think B.I.G. ” chose not to withdraw the allegations against “Inspired by U ” because they did not file on a whim. Although Barnett filed the case against “Inspired by U, ” the matter was brought to his attention by a Supreme Court justice who wishes to remain nameless.

For now, Alawa ’s first step is to start preparing for next year.

“We want to make sure we ’re transitioned right and that we ’re well equipped to move forward for next year, ” she said.

Barnett believes his ticket ran a “strong ” campaign.

“I think there were two strong SG campaigns, ” he said. “We had a small workforce, we focused on untraditional techniques, we wrote individual letters for sorority members, we handed out food and told students to come out and vote. The voting was close and they were both successful. ”

The University of Miami is making it easier for its employees to connect with their doctors through a website and a phone number that allows them to schedule appointments and find the appropriate doctor for their medical needs.

The UHealth Connect system now includes an employee-exclusive phone line in addition to the public line. Because few UM employees used the system, administrators hope that it will encourage more employees to use UHealth Connect.

“I have had trouble scheduling appointments with UM doctors before the system because it became frustrating when I got transferred to different people and it took too long to finally get a response, ” said case manager Nikki Abramson, who works in the dean of students ’ office.

Abramson said she hopes this line will resolve her troubles when it comes to scheduling her annual medical check-up, which she plans on making soon.

Call center operators answer 1.2 million calls every year; about half of those have to do with scheduling and the others fall into the categories of general information and directory.

“We have been growing and expanding since we first started five years ago ”, said Daniel Fleisher, director of patient access for UHealth Connect.

A team of 160 on-site operators is divided into 20 clinical departments such as medical and dermatology.

The schedulers can view a patient ’s MyUHealthChart, a secure online portal where members can view a complete medical history, schedule appointments with their physicians through email, view certain lab results and order prescriptions.

The busiest months for the operators are January and February because those months make up one of the “open ” seasons during the year when the insurance companies can sign in new members.

“In this system, UM employees get priority and are led to the appropriate doctor immediately, ” Fleisher said.

Immediate family members of UM employees are also given the same access and attention. Nancy del Pozzo, who is the office manager at the dean of student ’s office and has a toddler and newborn son, relies on it.

“My oldest son had an eye infection, and I used the CARE line to get to the ER right away, ” del Pozzo said. “It helped a lot. ” Employees can call the number on the back of their UM health insurance cards from Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m and 6 p.m., for reasons such as scheduling an appointment or getting a prescription refill.

STAFF EDITORIAL

96 respondents said yes.

With the heavy workload UM students have, a 24-hour study spot would benefit the campus community. At Richter, there are resources available for students studying for a test, researching for a paper and rooms for study groups to meet. For these reasons, it just makes sense for there to be at least one 24-hour library on campus.

We acknowledge that, in order for this to happen, additional staff would need to be hired to make up for the extra hours the library would utilize – but we think this initiative is worth the cost. Current library attendants also could create a rotating schedule for the night shifts. Universities that have actualized this allocate a section of the library to be open for 24-hours, and close the rest of the building. UM could do something similar by keeping only the first two floors of Richter open for use at all times.

Also, operation hours don ’t have to include the weekends. Many universities that have a 24-hour library stay open through the night Sunday through Thursday, but close earlier Fridays and Saturdays.

Having a 24-hour library on UM ’s campus would undoubtedly be the next step toward optimizing student success in the classroom.

Jesus, religion should not be equated

T

here is a video called “Why I Hate Religion But Love Jesus ” that has been trending on TAYLOR DUCKETT Tumblr, FaceCONTRIBUTING book and COLUMNIST Twitter for several weeks.

It has gotten people talking.

Some love the video and feel that it hits the nail on the head, while others consider it to be way off.

The video is about a poem that spreads the message that Christianity is not supposed to be about religion, but rather about forming a personal relationship with Jesus.

Some argue that, by definition,

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Christianity is a religion and the poet ’s argument is false.

However, that is not what the poet means by religion. I think the point he was trying to make was that some churches have gotten caught up in doing things based on a ritual, like fasting during Lent. In the Bible, Jesus fasted and prayed for 40 days during Lent.

Fasting without a purpose is like giving something up for no reason.

Another issue that was discussed is that churches are focusing on the wrong things. Students who grew up in small churches could probably tell you more about the church drama than about the sermon. Churches shouldn ’t be focusing on things such as what clothes you decide to wear or how your hair is styled during mass.

Libraries should extend their hours You have been sitting in the library for four hours studying for an organic chemistry test and you ’re finally in the zone. Suddenly, the lights blink on and off while a voice announces, “The library will be closing in five minutes. ” You can ’t go back to your room because your neighbors are throwing a party and music is blasting, Starbucks on campus has been closed since 11 p.m., and driving anywhere is pointless because all your study spots are closed.

Why is it so hard to find a quiet place to concentrate? Wouldn ’t it be great if there were a 24-hour library on campus? We think so.

Many universities across the country have their libraries open 24 hours throughout most of the week, including some small schools with student populations comparable to that of UM (around 10,000) like Vanderbilt, Tulane, Emory, Syracuse and the College of William and Mary, just to name a few. At UM, the Otto G. Richter Library is only open 24 hours during finals week. The rest of the semester, the library is open until 2 a.m. from Sunday through Thursday and until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

But students should have the option to study in a library without any time constraints. And, according to a Facebook poll by The Miami Hurricane, students agree. When asked whether they would take advantage of a 24-hour library at UM, 66 students of

OPINION

“

Students who grew up in small churches could probably tell you more about the church drama than about the sermon.

Their main focus should be on God. The poet isn ’t saying that churches are bad or that you don ’t need to go to church. Church is important because the pastor or minister of the church is there to help you understand God ’s word and teach you.

The main point that I got from this video is that you shouldn ’t let your focus shift from God to religion. Doing things a certain way because it is part of a religion won ’t save you, but accepting and getting to know Jesus as your Lord and savior will.

Jesus is not equal to religion.

He is greater.

DBT!'s set currently has more than 8,000 plays, 1,000 favorites and 500 comments.

“Our music combines electronic dance music with every other genre to create a fusion, strongly influenced by living in Miami for the past four years, ” Nabatoff said.

“Our fans call it DBT! music. ” Senior Robbie Allison, one of their UM fans, hopes they make it to the Ultra stage.

"Their unstoppable energy and passion for their music is what draws fans like me to DBT!," Allison said.

Nabatoff and Hofgard both grew up in northern Virginia, but met as freshman at UM. The two began collaborating musically after they attended Ultra 2010.

"I've never experienced anything like my first dance music festival," Hofgard said.

The two started spinning at some UM student events, including Sigma Phi Epsilon ’s formal in spring 2011.

Soon after, the duo started to produce DBT! ’s sound. Their first original track, "A.D. Disco," was selected as a judges' pick from nearly 2,000 entries in the Indaba Identity Mix Competition in August 2011.

Since then, DBT! has performed at local spots such as Treehouse, Nikki Beach, Vice and Louis. Most notably, they opened for DJ and producer Sharam at Mansion nightclub on South Beach.

"We like to put on a show for our fans," Hofgard said. "It's fun watching the crowd get hyped to the music we play."

The Ultra DJ Mix Competition is strongly influenced by the amount of fan activity on the submissions received, though the final verdict is decided by the judges and sponsors, including Ultra Music Festival, Aerial7 and Mixcloud.

"If everyone helps out, we truly have a chance at winning," Nabatoff said. "If you listen to our music, you won't regret it!"

MOVIE REVIEW

PROFILE

Cast carries ‘Wanderlust’

‘How to Succeed’ a satirical success

BY LAUREN COHEN CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

Success is measured not by money, but by talent.

Junior Veronica Diaz and alumnus Bill Duncan are quintessential examples of this concept, even though the songs and characters of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying ” convey quite the opposite.

The two are featured in the Roxy Theatre ’s production of the Tony awardwinning musical. Diaz, a psychology major and theater minor, plays the supporting actress Smitty, and Duncan, who graduated from the Frost School of Music in 1986, is the show ’s conductor.

The satirical musical, “How to Succeed, ” follows a young window cleaner as he climbs the corporate ladder through brown-nosing and working in “The Company Way. ” The show originally opened on Broadway in 1961 and its revival season is now playing in New York City, starring Nick Jonas.

“It ’s a bunch of different personalities that you never expect to mesh on stage flowing so easily together, ” Diaz said about the show. “It looks so natural. ” Diaz has been participating in Roxy Theatre productions and classes since she was 13. Roxy Theatre is located across from Florida International Uni-

Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston are the kind of couple that just naturally exude charm.

They ’re like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan – except without the successful track record.

Having previously worked together in “The Object Of My Affection ” and the TV show “Friends, ” I knew they could certainly play off one another well. But can charm alone carry a 90-minute film?

Rudd and Aniston play George and Linda, a Manhattan couple who find themselves staying at a rural commune called Elysium, which is filled with colorful residents.

“Wanderlust ” is nothing if not amusing.

Actual laugh-out-loud jokes were few and far between, but I guess that ’s not all that surprising considering that the jokes stay in familiar territory. We have the obligatory hallucinogens scene, trust circles, skinny-dipping and people who say things like, “I drink in the nourishment that Mother Earth gives us from her cloud teats. ” This exclamation is made by the leader of Elysium, Seth (played by Aniston ’s boyfriend, Justin Theroux). He has long hair and a beard.

He also clearly has a thing for Linda. Don ’t forget, it ’s all about free love at Elysium.

The film ’s lifeline is the zany supporting cast, which includes comical performances from Alan Alda, Kathryn Hahn and Lauren Ambrose. Rudd, who always delivers in the comedy department, is certainly one of the best parts of “Wanderlust. ” However, there are moments when it seems like he ’s trying to mash together his roles from “Our Idiot Brother ” and “I Love You, Man ” into one, which was all too evident in one painful scene where he gets the most obnoxious case of verbal diarrhea imaginable.

The first half of the movie breezed by, just in time for the second half to drag on enough for me to inevitably think to myself, “Where is all this going? ” By the end, I couldn ’t tell if I was supposed to be digging the mellow lifestyle or if I was supposed to be the voice of reason that the characters would never hear.

Regular season ends with blowout

SPORTS BRIEFS TRACK & FIELD The Track & Field team competed in the ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships this past weekend, where the senior duo of Devon Hill and Tarika Williams both came away with silver medals for the Canes.

Hill finished second in the 60-meter hurdles, crossing the finish line in 7.73 seconds, while Williams ran the 200-meter run in 23.61, good for second as well.

Canes pulverize Boston College on Senior Day

BY PATRICK RILEY STAFF WRITER

To say this weekend was one filled with emotion for Katie Meier ’s team is probably an understatement.

With the Canes losing in Durham on Friday night to ACC rival Duke, Miami returned to Coral Gables to finish up its regular season against Boston College Sunday afternoon with an 88-42 blowout over the Eagles.

But even with the tough loss on Friday still fresh in their minds and Senior Day at the BankUnited Center in full swing, the Canes were determined as usual.

“We started off in the locker room talking about ‘Miami doesn ’t lose two in a row ’, ” Meier said. ”We just felt like we didn ’t take care of business and we should have. So the start of this game, with all the emotions, was more about being business-like and taking care of what we needed to take care of and playing as hard as we possibly could. ” Fittingly enough, the seniors did just that when Shenise Johnson, Sylvia Bullock and Riquna Williams came out firing on all cylinders, scoring the first 14 points for the Canes and holding Boston College scoreless for almost six full minutes to begin the game.

The Canes led from start to finish and suffocated Boston College with ferocious defense, forcing 28 turnovers and scoring 31 points off those turnovers.

With the game turning into a blowout seemingly from the tip, there was enough playing time to go around for everybody, and when the seniors came out for the last time with 4:28 left in the game, they were treated to a standing ovation from the 2,000-plus fans as well as hugs by the bench players and Meier.

“It was just a bittersweet moment, ” Johnson said.

Johnson and Williams led the team with 19 and 20 points, respectively, and helped the Canes to a 46-point victory that extended their home winning streak to 40. This is the second consecutive season that Miami has posted an undefeated record on its home court.

The game made it clear once again how much this senior class means to the team and how instrumental they were in transforming Miami from a bottom feeder into the top-tier

days since the Miami women’s basketball team last loss at the BankUnited Center

The team is back in action next week for the Alex Wilson Invitational in Indianapolis while preparing for the NCAA Indoor Championships.

MEN’S TENNIS The Hurricanes men’s tennis team came away with their third consecutive win after overpowering the University of North Florida Ospreys on Sunday afternoon. Miami rode five wins in singles play to come away with the 5-2 win.

The Canes will look to extend their winning streak when they host Florida State next Sunday beginning at 3:30 p.m. at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center.

“I don ’t have any worries about them in the future, ” Meier said. “They have developed, they have grown. We ’ve been through so much, just things you couldn ’t even imagine behind the scenes. We had a pact; we were going to get through this. We were going to build this program and we ’re going to do it the right way. ” But it ’s not just Meier who appreciates

the value of her seniors. In a Canes tradition, the freshmen decorated the seniors ’ lockers with flowers, streamers, pictures, candy and more.

The mood afterward was relaxed and joyous, but Meier knows that the postseason is just around the corner with round one of the ACC tournament coming up on Thursday.

“I am so proud right now, but we ’re not done, ” she said. “We ’re not done. ” Feb. 27 - Feb. 29, 2012

The No. 14 women’s tennis team proved to be too much against Florida State, defeating the Seminoles in Tallahassee on Sunday morning by a final score of 5-2. The Canes struck first by taking the doubles point before taking four of the six singles matches to guarantee the victory.

Miami returns to Coral Gables next week for two of their next eight consecutive matches at home, hosting both North Florida and Clemson next weekend.

Hot-hitting Canes improve to 7-0 Albany no match for Miami; Gators up next

BY ADAM BERGER SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

In baseball, sometimes you ’re lucky, and other times you ’re just plain better than the team in the other dugout.

That was the case for Miami over the weekend.

The University of Miami baseball team used a combination of dominating pitching performances, timely hitting and poor fielding from the University at Albany Great Danes to outscore its opponent from upstate New York 38-10 in a three-game sweep at Alex Rodriguez Park.

Miami improved to 7-0 to begin the year, and is now the only team in the ACC with an undefeated record.

“We ’re deeper and better as a team right now offensively than we were last year, ” said coach Jim Morris, whose Hurricanes had a 4-3 record at through seven games last season. “That ’s something that ’s going to help us, having our pitching back to mix with that offense. I feel like we have a better club. ” On Friday night Erik Erickson was masterful on the mound in his second start since returning from Tommy John

surgery. The lefty graduate student pitched seven scoreless innings, giving up just four hits while striking out nine.

At one point, he struck out five straight.

“I had my off-speed working tonight. I was locating my pitches and just attacking the hitters aggressively, ” Erickson said after the game. He improved to 2-0.

Erickson ’s backstop, Peter O ’Brien, continued to impress in his second series as a Hurricane. The senior transfer from Bethune-Cookman went 3 for 7 over the weekend, including a two-run homerun on Friday, his third of the young season.

O ’Brien finished the series with 6 RBI ’s.

Last season, Miami went through a power slump as a team, but the ball has been carrying out of the park early on.

The Canes now have seven homeruns through as many games, while they had just three at this time last season. Morris readily admitted where credit is due.

“We didn ’t have Magilla Gorrilla behind the plate in 2011. He can swing the bat, ” he said of O ’Brien, referencing the 1960 ’s Hannah-Barbera cartoon.

O ’Brien now has a .519 batting average to go along with a team-high nine RBI ’s.

Saturday night brought much of the same for the Hurricanes. Junior Eric Whaley struck out six through six innings, giving up one unearned run. The

righty earned his first win in an 11-1 thumping.

Unlike the first two games of the series, Sunday ’s victory provided some late-inning drama for Miami. Sophomore Bryan Radziewski tossed six innings, working in and out of trouble throughout the afternoon. He handed the ball over to the bullpen with Miami up 6-2.

After AJ Salcines pitched a scoreless seventh, sophomore relief pitcher Javi Salas surrendered three runs, two earned, in the top of the eighth to cut Miami ’s lead to a slim one-run at 6-5.

Salas was taken out of the game after only recording one out, but junior Eric Nedeljkovic finished the inning to keep Miami ’s lead intact.

The Hurricanes then responded in a big way in the bottom of the eighth, batting around the order and scoring six runs off of three Albany relief pitchers.

With the bases loaded and no one out Brad Fieger popped up to catcher Craig Lepre, and in stepped Michael Broad. The junior shortstop lined a bases clearing double into left field putting Miami up 9-5, securing Radziewski ’s first win and the series sweep for the Hurricanes. Miami would score three more runs in the inning on the way to a 12-5 victory.

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Feb. 27 - Feb. 29, 2012

UM beats FSU, high hopes for tourney BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 1 “The players have dealt with a lot of adversity, and they ’ve been able to overcome it, ” Larranaga said. “They ’ve found ways to find something positive. ” UM outscored FSU, a team known for its defensive prowess, 43-19 after the 5:37 mark in the first half. The Seminoles led 18-11 at that point, their largest lead, and by the end of the Hurricane run, Miami obtained its largest lead of 17.

“You see the quality of their character by how they played today, ” Larranaga said. “They didn ’t hang their heads, they didn ’t quit, they didn ’t lose their confidence. They stuck together like any good team should and rose to the occasion. ” Larranaga tried four different offenses, by his count, in the first half to try and ignite the scoring and none of them worked. He then decided to switch his defense to a zone, which he rarely does, for more than one possession at a time, and it worked, altering FSU ’s strategy enough to force turnovers and get easy baskets the other way.

The consensus motivation, among the players, behind the team ’s performance was to play hard for Johnson and prove, with a collective effort, they could win without him.

Four different Hurricanes scored in double figures. Miami had a distinct advantage shooting beyond the arc Sunday. Miami shot 45 percent from distance while holding the Seminoles to 21.7 percent from long range.

The Hurricanes went on a 10-0 run to finish the half and took a 24-20 lead into intermission. The run came shortly after the Canes had been held scoreless for seven minutes of game time when FSU went on an 8-0 run.

The victory against ranked Florida State is monumental for this team that was in Joe Lunardi ’s “first four out, ” because it gives the Canes their second true quality win of the season, the first coming against Duke, which is valued tremendously by the selection committee.

Johnson was ruled ineligible earlier Sunday, with the NCAA talking to him about the incident as early as Friday, because of an ongoing investigation regarding his family receiving improper travel benefits under Frank Haith and the previous coaching staff. It is unknown how long Johnson will remain ineligible.

Larranaga says Johnson and his family were not aware of the legality of the benefits they received and the program is in full cooperation with the NCAA. Miami has another critical matchup to come at N.C. State, a bubble team just like the Canes. N.C. State ’s stock to make the tournament dropped Saturday with its loss to Clemson.

dear ...

Dear V: Of popping my cherry I’m very wary... , You ’re probably the completely wrong person to ask, but it ’s worth a shot. I met this really hot girl at my friend ’s apartment this weekend and I think she might be totally into it. The problem is that she has a reputation for sleeping around and I ’m a virgin. I don ’t think I ’ll be up to standard and then everyone will hear how bad I was. Can you give me a few tips or should I just sit this one out?

Sincerely, The Motion of What Ocean?

Dear Not Sure Where to Put It, First of all, I ’d invest in these handy things called condoms. They ’re made of latex, and they will help a lot in preventing your first experience from ending in sores, pus, or worse ... a child. If you don ’t know how to use one, try a prac-

tice round on a banana. Don ’t forget to pinch the tip.

Better yet, ask Slutty McTrampy Whore to help you. She may have experience putting them on with her mouth.

You ’ll also want to make sure that you know what you ’re literally about to get yourself into. I ’m hoping that you have at least seen a vagina before. If not, it may be best for you to sit this out or do some research with Wireless Canes.

Once you ’re both in your bed, a motel on Calle Ocho, a frat house bathroom or whatever romantic location you ’ve chosen, stay away from the cliches. No music, no rose petals and for the love of God no cheesy lines. The last thing she wants to hear is “I ’m gonna make you so wet. ” Just let your body do the talking and get her turned on. While you and your hand might be used to jumping into the quickest strokes possible, a female needs time to get warmed up. Consider a little tongue action where it counts to get her ready.

If you manage to not screw it up and somehow make it inside, please don ’t go all jack rabbit on her. You ’re not a woodpecker. Take it slow and get a feel for what she wants. It ’s sex, not a race to the finish. It is quite possible that you might

i with i ejecting i out of the cockpit i have a problem your first time earlier than expected, so be prepared. Try not to think about it. If it does start to feel like you might be coming to faster than you want, thoughts of baseball, your grandmother and Betty White always seem to work.

She probably won ’t care, because you make it sound like she has more sex than a Hialeah hooker, but a little cuddling and some pillow talk afterward might be a good idea.

Plus, if you finish a bit too quickly, cuddling could get her in the mood for round two. If you ’re so worried about your lack of experience, you could also just talk to her about it.

There are plenty of women who would LOVE to show a man the ropes. And I do mean ropes.

Hope that ’s enough to get you through it, because all this talk about taking V-Cards is getting me in the mood to find another one I can add to my collection...

They don ’t call me V for nothing!
