Solar compactor increases efficiency Richter trash can limits pickup, labor
Check out what’s exclusively available at TheMiamiHurricane. com.
BY ARIELE GALLARDO CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER
Move over garbage cans and recycle bins, the BigBelly is in town. Located in front of Starbucks by Richter Library, the BigBelly Solar Compactor is a new trash can that uses solar energy to power an internal compacter. Once the trash reaches a certain level, it is compacted to create more space in the trash can. It also functions as a recycling bin. “It’s really cool. It’s very obvious and very attention grabbing,” said Ian McKeown, UM's sustainability coordinator. “This is a pilot one by the library to see if it meets the needs of the campus.” The purpose of the BigBelly is to help reduce pollution by decreasing the frequency of trash pickup. Trash will only be picked up three times a week, as opposed to every day. As a result, less money will be spent on gas and labor. “It reduces the volume of your trash. So in theory, you don’t have

CAN IT: Junior Katie Kuretski throws her trash away in the new solar-powered garbage can by Starbucks. The can is also a trash compactor, which makes pick-up necessary less frequently. to pick it up as much,” McKeown said. “Also, it’s got a wireless system, so it lets the people know they can go [pick up the trash].” The BigBelly trash can has been implemented on campuses nationwide, including at Harvard
University, Arizona State University and the University of Boston. The trash can is the latest initiative from Green U, an organization that encompasses all sustainability efforts instituted at the university. McKeown hopes to eventually place the bins across campus.
“I think this unit is awesome. It is cool, unique and it has been proven to work at other institutions throughout the United States,” he said. “It has made a difference in other places. We brought it to UM to see if it will make a difference here.”

PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION
Forum attempts to address parking grievances Sobaram plans to add more spaces BY ALEXA LOPEZ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Since the university’s new parking system was implemented several weeks ago, complaints by the UM community have been heard from all corners of campus. In order to address permit holders’ grievances, Student Government (SG) hosted a parking forum on Tuesday afternoon featuring Richard Sobaram, director of the Department of Parking and Transportation. The program allowed students to directly address Sobaram by asking questions and making suggestions about the parking system. “I think there were a lot of students who understood that there’s no easy solution and no easy fix to it, but they still want to know that something is being done to fix any prob2

lems that exist,” SG Press Secretary Mike Piacentino said. A theme of the forum was students’ complaints about the expansiveness of the yellow zone, which stretches from the Wellness Center to the Mahoney/Pearson garage. According to Piacentino, students who park in the yellow zone have expressed concern that there may be available parking spots, but they are in unpopular lots far from common destinations on campus. At the forum, students suggested dividing the zone into smaller sections in order to avoid hunting for a spot. “People aren’t complaining about where they want to park, they just don’t know where to park every day,” he said. Students recommended introducing a new lottery system to yellow permit holders which would allow them to choose one of the smaller divisions within the yellow zone. “It makes total sense in theory to split the yellow zone,” said Ashley

Taggart, SG vice president, during the forum. “But … all those people who show up to Pavia at 8 a.m. and get their space in Pavia, they’re going to be in the same lottery that we want to be in and they may not get the Pavia parking garage they’re parking in right now. So they’re going to be very upset if they end up all the way at the other end of the BUC.” Other students suggested that Sobaram set up short-term “flex spots” in color zones that would allow permit holders of a different color to park in designated spaces for classes or meetings. For instance, a yellow permit holder could park in one of the limited number of flex spots in the red zone for a class in the LC. According to Sobaram, only less than 5 percent of the 10,000 parking permit holders have communicated their thoughts about the new parking system. Still, he said, “As many that have expressed dissatisfaction have [also] expressed satisfaction.” “We’re looking at how soon
Sept. 15 - Sept. 18, 2011
we can make improvements,” he said. “We’ve completely turned the system on its head. We’re trying to change the culture and that’s never easy.” Sobaram said one of the improvements currently in progress is the installment of two new floors in Pavia, which would introduce more than 300 new spots. Although he stated at the forum that the floors will be built over this year’s winter break, in a later interview he denied there being a set construction plan. “We don’t know what the timeline is going to be,” he said. “We may start as early as winter break, [but] we don’t have a project schedule as yet.” Still, permit holders are hoping for a quicker solution to their parking problems. “I think that Mr. Sobaram was receptive and realistic,” said senior Madeline Keller, who attended Tuesday’s forum. “But I hope he addresses the issues immediately instead of waiting.”

Since 2001, the University of Miami has made annual jumps up the U.S. News & World Report’s list of the nation’s best colleges. The institution became the top school in Florida in 2010, and reached a high of No. 38 on the 2011 list.

UM climbs nine spots in survey University remains No. 1 school in Florida BY ALYSHA KHAN NEWS EDITOR
The University of Miami was ranked No. 38 in the 2012 edition of U.S. News & World Report’s annual “Best Colleges” issue. “This has truly been a climb to excellence,” UM President Donna E. Shalala said in a press release. “The road to excellence means investments in our students, in our faculty, in our facilities.” UM rose nine ranks from last year’s survey, where it placed at No. 47. Executive Vice President and Provost Thomas J. LeBlanc described this rise a “historic accomplishment.” “It’s unusual for a university to be
able to move that many places once you get into the top 50,” LeBlanc said. “The top 50 institutions are great institutions. It’s very hard to leapfrog any of them, much less nine of them in one year.” U.S. News & World Report grades colleges and universities using a formula that combines several different measures. Some of the measures are numerical and document graduation rates, freshmen retention rates, student to faculty ratios and other such factors. According to The Miami Herald , UM reached an average SAT score of 1295, a record high for the institution. UM also doubled its number of applicants to almost 26,000. Its six-year graduation rate also reached an all-time high of 80 percent. Other measures capture the opinions of high school counselors and top administrative officials from other colleges and universities.
According to LeBlanc, the university had been improving in objective measures for the last 10 years, but its reputation among peer institutions and high schools remained the same. “So every year we would move up a couple of spaces because every year we got a little bit better in each of these areas,” he said. “Our reputation as measured by that survey stayed the same.” This year, UM’s peer institutions finally acknowledged its gains. “Our average SAT has climbed over a hundred points and the reputation surveys gave us no credit for that,” LeBlanc said. “In one year, it’s as if it all caught up with us.” SG president Brandon Mitchell is thrilled by the latest ranking. “It’s awesome,” Mitchell said. “We showed the world what it means to be a Hurricane.”

While the new Rathskeller still incorporates many elements of the old, one feature is glaringly missing - the stage. “The stage is definitely what I will miss most about the old Rat,” said Ashley Drake, president of the Panhellenic Association and a server at the Rat. The raised stage at the former Rat was a popular venue for Greek philanthropic events. “At [Greek] pageants, people put on funny performances, and the atmosphere of the old Rat was cozy so people felt comfortable,” said Madison Godesky, a junior in the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. “Food and beer always make things more intimate.” However, the Rat’s current location does not easily allow for such staged events. “The construction of the new Student Activities Center has raised a challenge, but we aren’t worried because there are other spaces on campus,” Drake said. “It is likely that we will use the UC patio or the Rock for events.” However, the temporary alternatives have setbacks. Rain often constrains the use of outdoor spaces and these areas often get filled quickly. The simulated tour of the future Student Activities Center shows no stage in the new Rathskeller’s design. However, the multipurpose room on the building’s top floor will hold seating for 800 and have a panoramic view of the lake. Some employees are pleased that the Rat no longer has a stage. Dominic Castillejo, a UM graduate who continues to work at the Rat, said that the loud commotion at Greek events used to give him a headache at work. “From an employee standpoint, I think the change will be for the better,” Castillejo said. “The Greeks will still come to the Rat, pay their bills and then head over to whatever event they have. If held at the UC patio, it will be so close and won’t make much of a difference.” He agrees that people in the Greek community will eat and drink at the Rat before the events while the construction and renovation takes place. “It’s definitely a challenge thinking of new venues for some of the events, like O-Cheer and Greek God and Goddess, but it also gives us a great chance to branch out and see what else campus has to offer,” said Melissa Guller, co-chair of the Greek Week planning committee. “We’re hoping to make this year’s Greek Week the best yet, and hopefully some of the new locations we use will make the events even better.” THE MIAMI HURRICANE

STUDENT ORGANIZATION
Volunteers treat patients in underprivileged countries Experiencing, helping cultures BY ROSS ITO CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER
The Costa Rica seen in movies and postcards has picturesque palms, ocean views and plunging waves. Unfortunately, this is not the Costa Rica that most natives experience. Many Costa Ricans living in rural areas often lack access to doctoral care. Simple illnesses like colds, dengue fever and diarrhea are usual-
ly left untreated and result in severe conditions. Volunteers for Intercultural and Definitive Adventures (VIDA) attempts to meet the need for healthcare. VIDA is a student volunteer organization working to combat these illnesses by making annual trips to third-world countries and providing clinical care to natives, free of charge. "VIDA gives students a chance to get hands-on experience in the medical or dental field,” said Daniel McCormack, a biology major and the student coordinator for the trip. The students, along with a cer-
tified nurse and doctor, assist in providing patients diagnoses, treatment and medication. During VIDA’s last trip to Costa Rica, a native boy arrived at the clinic complaining of a terrible headache. An examination uncovered a dead bug buried deep in the boy’s ear. An aural rinse dislodged the bug and relieved the boy's headache. On a typical trip, students learn to take patient vitals, diagnose common illnesses, administer shots, assist doctors during dental surgeries and much more. "VIDA helps prospective medical and dental students stand apart

"Whereas many can say they have shadowed a doctor, not many can say they’ve treated patients in a third-world country.” Volunteers can expect seven to eight working hours per day while on the trip, which usually lasts about 11 days. However, these trips are not entirely focused on work. “On trips, students can learn from experienced doctors, enjoy a different culture, go white water rafting, eat amazing food, meet great people and distinguish themselves from their peers at the same time,” McCormack said.

Beyond the numbers Nearly everyone who calls the University of Miami home is immensely proud of their beloved U. Even through tough times, like the NCAA scandal, students proudly wear orange and green and trash talk with the best of them. So when U.S. News & World Report ranked UM as No. 38 in the country, Twitter and Facebook feeds exploded with Hurricane pride. And it’s no wonder - we finally have something to celebrate. Now that the rankings are several days old, however, the excitement is wearing off a bit, and we can take a closer look at what it actually means. There’s no doubt that UM is improving. It’s lightyears away from the days of “Suntan U.” But while U.S. News & World Report ranks us as No. 38, Forbes.com lists UM at a lowly No. 221 on its 2012 America’s Top Colleges list. We can blame this extreme disparity on either publication’s rubric. U.S. News & World Report emphasizes on an institution’s reputation and its student and faculty performance. Forbes, on the other hand, puts more stock in buyer satisfaction. In their books, expensive schools rank highly, with high graduation rates, scholarship awards and high-paying careers counteracting tuition costs.

OPINION
“
Seems to me that our generation may be in danger of becoming antisocial.
And UM is ranked No. 221. Ouch. Don’t be so quick to delete those celebratory tweets though. Statistics for the latest incoming freshman class are higher than they’ve ever been, with half of them having graduated in the top five percent of their high school class. Graduation rates are on the rise as well, and the new student center that is currently under construction shows how far we’ve come and how much farther we will continue to go. But all these rankings should be taken with a grain of salt, including our top spot in Florida. We need to keep in mind that Forbes ranks UF at No. 137, and FSU at No. 193. While UF’s stats have consistently gone up on Forbes.com, budget cuts have stagnated the colleges’ ranking on the U.S. News & World Report. Public schools just can’t spend as much to keep up with the U. So which number should we believe, 38 or 221? Probably neither. Let’s stick with No. 1, because everyone knows it’s all about the U.

OPINION
Ye a r s ago, going away to college meant saying goodbye to all of your friends from high school – and EMMA BOWMAN CONTRIBUTING I mean really COLUMNIST saying goodbye. You wouldn’t see or speak to them until you went back home during the holidays, unless you spoke over a good old-fashioned phone call. However, in today’s generation, technology bridges this gap and allows students to easily stay in contact after high school. Popular social networking sites include Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. Now you can even see your friends by Skyping them or

video calling them on Facebook. It’s like you never even left. This seems like a beneficial advancement in technology, but is it? Is it necessarily a good thing that at a click of a button all your high school friends can see what school you’re at, if you’re in a relationship and what’s on your mind? Part of me thinks that technology has ruined the reunion of high school friends over the holidays where everyone gets together and tells tales of what has happened in their lives while they’ve been at college. Nowadays, you can just quickly scan someone’s Facebook page or Twitter timeline, and without even communicating with that person, you find out everything you want to know. Seems to me that our generation may be in danger of becoming an-

tisocial. Perhaps the old-fashioned social way of life is the best. But then again, without this technology some high school friends would lose complete contact with each other. Some might say these websites and applications are making people even more social and extending their social life like never before. Also, it’s much easier to inbox your friends on Facebook than to call them or wait until Thanksgiving, right? So what do you think? Is technology helping or hindering us? Either way, make sure you stay in touch with high school friends whether it’s a tweet or a surprise visit when you come home during the holidays. Emma Bowman is a sophomore majoring in mathematics.

EDITOR’S NOTE
Reflecting on rumors There is no doubt that the article published on Monday’s cover of The Miami Hurricane stirred controversy. There are rumors circulating campus regarding the ongoing investigation of Pi Kappa ALEXA LOPEZ EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Alpha, yet neither UM officials nor members of Pike could speak to us. In an attempt to ref lect what a number of students have been saying abut Pike, we published quotes from unnamed sources. Although our method may have been ill-advised, there are indeed people talking about the investigation. Our sources could not be corroborated independently, yet they were legitimate: Two unrelated sources made comments about what they had heard around campus – and those were only two of the many comments we had heard. Still, in hindsight, the staff and I recognize that we could have represented those rumors in a better way. As students, we are learning how to be better journalists through
every edition we produce – from this situation, we have learned how to better handle such gossip. We have also learned, that to maintain our credibility as a newspaper, it is important to provide information that has been confirmed by a source with firsthand knowledge. Unverified rumors aside, Pike has in the past faced some scrutiny. This is the third time in six years that UM’s chapter of Pike has been investigated. Still, prior incidents and scrutiny does not mean Pike is guilty of the current rumors or anything at this time. Pike needs to be treated fairly and the university needs to conduct a full investigation. Regardless of whatever reputation the fraternity may hold, there has been no confirmation of the truthfulness of the rumors spreading through campus. Because of this, the online version of Monday’s article has been edited to ref lect a more factual representation of the investigation. And, as in the original version, the article explains that the fraternity’s president has acknowledged the rumors and has insisted that they have nothing to do with the actual allegations against Pike.

Prime-time Lineup ows h s t o H ch to wat
BY TYLER COONEY CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER
As schedules start to fill up, there’s only one time slot that all college students, or anyone else for that matter, keep open — 8 to 11 p.m., otherwise known as prime-time television. While fall might mean football, school, cooler weather or the end of stingray season to some, others know their favorite TV shows are coming back to the small LCDs in their dorms and laptop screens. Here are some of the shows you should be looking out for come September, all of which should be in your must-fit-into-your-nighttime-schedule category.
Two and a Half Men
COURTESY CBS
It doesn’t really matter if you liked this mainstream CBS sitcom during the Charlie Sheen era — the interest level for season nine of “Two and a Half Men” is through the roof. Publicity is at an all-time high and everybody is pumped for the upcoming season. The addition of Ashton Kutcher (his first sitcom since “That ‘70s Show”), the naked teaser poster, the storyline involving Charlie’s death and even Comedy Central’s Roast of Charlie Sheen airing on the date of the premiere have all contributed to the hype, and you should be excited as well. Premieres Monday at 9 p.m.
COURTESY ABC
Modern Family The funniest show on TV today should be on everyone’s calendar Wednesday nights. “Modern Family” won the Emmy last year for outstanding comedy series, and if you haven’t caught this newage classic, then you’re missing out on life in the TV world. Despite not many character additions (save for Aubrey Anderson-Emmons taking the role of toddler Lily), season three looks to be just as much fun as the previous two. Premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m.
Terra Nova Steven Spielberg is now taking viewers to year 2149 … and then back 85 million years to prehistoric times. This human extinction colonization show is headlined by “Life on Mars”’ Jason O’Mara and “Avatar’s” Stephen Lang and appears to have a good storyline to go along with its distinguished cast. Plus, it’s Steven Spielberg doing TV. Be sure to catch the two-hour season premiere on Fox, who may or may not be insane for funding this James Cameron-esque production. Premieres Sept. 26 at 8 p.m.
The X Factor
COURTESY CBS
This immensely popular and successful British singing competition has finally hit U.S. soil, and Simon Cowell aims to overtake “American Idol” as the highest rated singing show on TV. Why should you watch this show, if not for Cowell’s disdainful comments and Paula Abdul’s drunken demeanor? Well, because of Simon Cowell’s disdainful comments and Paula Abdul’s drunken demeanor. I can’t imagine there being much more to “X Factor” than “Idol” or “The Voice,” and it’s on during “Survivor” and “Modern Family.” Just catch Thursday’s episode. Premieres Wednesday at 8 p.m.

As the fall and winter seasons approach, you’ll remember that nothing really changes in Miami. Lucky for us, the little variation in Miami weather means one thing: very little variation in our wardrobes, which is great for college students on a budget. Though most cities tend to vary their fashion as seasons come and go, we tend to mix up the different trends.

great jacket is also a must. Opt for a neutral color — personally, we’re fans of olive green — to make sure that it goes with just about anything. Blazers, especially boyfriend blazers, are all the rage this season. It’s an easy way of dressing up a pair of jeans and T-shirt in an instant. Wear this outfit with a pair of heels, and you are business casual; wear it with boots or flats, and you’re fall time chic!

S
horts, in particular, are a must in any girl’s closet. Not only are they fresh and comfy, but it’s also a great way of breaking your standard jean routine. They might be a little more casual (depending on the shorts), but they will definitely give your everyday look a little oomph. Throw them on in the early morning for a day at school with a light blouse, cardigan and ballet flats. You’ll look cute, comfy and fashionable for the rest of the day. As night approaches, pair them with a pair of black tights (if you’re feeling daring, opt for colorful or patterned tights), pumps and a cute top. You’ll be instantly chic and ready for a night out on the town, whether it’s South Beach or the Grove.

L
ucky for you, gentlemen, this little variation of weather and fashion applies to you too! This season, it’s all about skinny jeans, plaid shirts, skinny ties, vests, V-necks and cardigans. It is a step back into the ‘50s with a hipster-meets-businessman look. As mid-October approaches, cardigans should become a staple in your closet. Pair the cardigan with a pair of skinny or fitted jeans, a V-neck and a pair of Converse, and you’ve just created an outfit that can be worn from day to night. For a formal night, match a pair of dark denim jeans, a T-shirt of any kind, a nice pair of black shoes and a sports jacket to achieve that business casual look. It’ll look perfect for a first date.
N
ext, hold on to your maxi dresses and skirts, ladies! These are a necessity for fall. Beside the fact that they are effortlessly chic, they look great on everyone! Entirely flattering to the female figure, they’ve earned themselves a spot in your closet that will last throughout the year. And, let’s face it, who isn’t looking for the perfect post-Penny Beers outfit to hide the bloating? To help the maxi dress and skirt transition into the fall season, wear it with a pair of ballet flats and a long scarf. Throw on a cardigan on a chilly day or just a jean jacket with the sleeves rolled up to your elbows. This look is great for a long day at school, or a simple dinner and a movie.

REDEMPTION: Quarterback Jacory Harris looks on as his teammates gather after warming up for their game against Ohio State last season. Though the Buckeyes came away with a victory in Columbus, Harris and several other key Hurricanes will return from suspensions on Saturday seeking redemption against No. 17 OSU.
Harris thrilled to return against Buckeyes Golden confident in QB’s development BY AUSTEN GREGERSON SENIOR SPORTS WRITER
When asked what emotion he expects to feel when he’s running through the smoke this Saturday, Jacory Harris had no intention of downplaying the moment. “I might shed a tear,” he said. “I’m so happy to be back on the field. I’m really ready to run out of that tunnel with my teammates. They’re the ones who have been by our sides throughout
everything that’s occurred over the past couple of months.” The past five weeks, and really the past four years, have been anything but predictable for Harris. After battling with Robert Marve for the quarterback position his freshman year and failing to find consistent success for the past two seasons, the senior quarterback has proved to be durable despite his lanky frame. After hurdling his latest obstacle as a Miami Hurricane – a one-game suspension for accepting improper benefits – he enters Saturday’s game against Ohio State as the starter, with perspective, not ego, dripping from every
comment. “Being without football for one week really set in my mind that this is something that I want to do,” Harris said. “I don’t want to be on the sidelines; I want to be in the game and ready to play.” Harris’ return coincides with those of four other players: Adewale Ojomo, Travis Benjamin, Sean Spence and Marcus Forston. Each player is expected to start or at least play a significant portion of the game against Ohio State after serving their suspensions. Ojomo and Forston are the only reinstated players not named the outright starters at their positions. Sept. 15 - Sept. 18, 2011
Coach Al Golden stated that Harris would have started the season opener against Maryland had it not been for his suspension. While allowing both Harris and sophomore Stephen Morris to compete for the position during the summer, Golden saw Harris improve during the offseason. “Sometimes we don’t let people grow, we don’t let them develop,” Golden said. “We just want to go back and look at the things that they did wrong. Let’s look back at the things he’s done right.” He decided it was time for him to make the most of his last opportunity.

Three Buckeyes to return Saturday OHIO STATE FROM PAGE 11 “I really believe Jacory’s going to show us all Saturday night. He’s done a great job and I just want him to relax and play his game, not make it bigger than it is and do what he’s been doing since we’ve been here,” Golden said. “I’m excited for Jacory and I know, in my heart, that he deserves this opportunity Saturday night.” As for the game itself, Ohio State has become just as familiar with the NCAA Infractions Committee as the Canes. Eight Buckeyes, including quarterback Terrelle Pryor (who left the team in the offseason), were suspended for multiple games this 2011 season. With a good deal of negativity surrounding the game, some have called the integrity of the game into question. But at least for Golden, he doesn’t see the issues plaguing each team having any effect on how the game itself, or the programs involved, will be viewed. “That’s not going to erase the
tradition,” Golden said. “That’s not going to erase all the great players that have played here, it’s not going to erase what the institutions mean. It’s certainly not going to diminish what it means to our fans, alumni and football fans in Miami and South Florida.” Although the Hurricanes lost to the Buckeyes 36-24 in Columbus last year, technically that never happened. Ohio State vacated the entire 2010 season after NCAA investigations found multiple players to be ineligible for the season, including Pryor, but for Harris and his teammates last year’s contest remains quite real. “Last year we did a lot of things that killed us,” Harris said. “We were in a position to pull away from those guys [at one point]. We had the momentum, but we just made mistakes. As long we take care of the small things, I feel like we have a good chance with this team.” This year’s Buckeyes received some good news on Tuesday with the NCAA reinstating three of the seven
players still suspended. Running back Jordan Hall, corner back Travis Howard and safety Corey Brown will all be eligible for Saturday night’s prime-time matchup. Though four Ohio State players still remain ineligible and aren’t expected back until Oct. 15, both Hall and Howard were likely starters entering the year. Senior quarterback Joe Bauserman, 26, is slated to start, but a cameo from freshman Braxton Miller would be far from unexpected. Miller’s athleticism gives the Buckeyes an offensive dimension akin to Pryor’s team in the recent past, which may be utilized if the Miami secondary is successful in stymieing Bauserman’s more traditional pocket-passing attack. While Saturday’s game will undoubtedly be the subject of national media and fanbases focusing on the problems that lie on the periphery for both teams, Harris offered one last cliche that sums up not only the game, but possibly the entirety of his Hurricane career: “It’s going to be a street fight.”

Dear V: It’s the motion of the ocean, not the size of the boat...
, About a month ago I started dating this really great girl. Everything has been going fantastic and she’s much better than my previous girlfriends, but I feel like there’s something that I’m not and cannot bring to the relationship that has caused me some minor confidence problems in the past. My umm, “equipment” is not very big. It’s not really, really small but I know from measuring it that it is at least an inch or two below average. Do girls really care about this? Or is this just an old wives tale? I don’t want to lose her because I can’t satisfy her the way most men can. Please help! Half mast, at full mast Dear Short Round, Your question is a bit of a double-edged sword. While in magazine polls, women consistently claim that size does
not matter, the women that I have spoken to believe there should be an asterisk after that answer. But I’ve been told it doesn’t matter as much as many men think it does. You may think you have a pickle on your hands, but from what I know from girls I’ve spoken to - while they don’t want a giant Rhino cock, they also don’t want what might be found underneath a South Carolina Gamecock. In your case, you’ll probably be okay. Only those suffering from micro penis get the short end of the stick here (bazing!), which from your information, doesn’t appear to be the case. Don’t get desperate and start buying “Extenze” or penis pumps. Firstly, they don’t work (trust me), and secondly, if your roommate finds that stuff, you’ll never hear the end of it. You can’t help how well Mr. Bojangles does on the sit and reach test, so you need to look to improve other things, namely your sexual performance. If you give your girl an orgasm, your penis size will be as relevant to your love life as the instructions to the game “Mouse Trap” (admit it readers, you bought that game because of the cool contraption, you didn’t give a crap about the
dear ... rules). Do some research on how to achieve an orgasm for her. Satisfying le petite cherie during intercourse will make her love every inch of your petite cherie. Think of yourself as “The Skipper,” it’s your job to navigate the waters with your knowledge of the sea, and if you depend on your “Little Buddy” too much, you’ll wind up on a deserted island.. According to the abstract conventions of love we created in order to limit our self-loathing, if she really loves you, she won’t care that your turkey baster is a compact model. Remember, you’ll be spending more time together not having sex than having it, so if she can stand your personality, you’re already doing better than someone with a third leg who has the personality of a sea cucumber.
