Dragonflies bug campus area
FESTIVAL
Concert series offers broad musical scope Frost to host 28th Festival Miami BY ROSA ORIHUELA CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER
CAYLA NIMMO // Assistant Photo Editor
BUZZ KILL: A dragonfly hovers over a leaf outside the BankUnited Center on Wednesday afternoon. Recently, swarms of dragonflies have appeared around campus, mostly near bodies of water. Students are surprised by the insects, which gather near the Merrick Building and the School of Communication, among other locations. “I have seen a million dragonflies in every grassy area. I really don’t know why they are there. They’re kind of gross, but they don’t really scare me,” sophomore Eliza Feldman said. According to The Miami Herald, dragonflies make an annual north-to-south migration in South Florida. This year, however, their population is unusually large. These insects, though large and noisy, are harmless - they neither bite nor sting. Their dense population is actually beneficial, as the dragonflies feed on mosquitoes.
UM ’s Festival Miami returns on Friday, bringing musical diversity to campus for the 28th consecutive year. The series is composed of more than 20 concerts, master classes and lectures. The festival, which is organized by the Frost School of Music, takes place between Friday and Nov. 4. “I was invited to be on the planning board of Festival Miami and I leaped at the chance, ” said Charles Norman Mason, award-winning composer and director of electronic music studios. “I felt it to be a privilege to have some input into the planning. ” The concerts will be divided into four themes: Great Performances, Creative American Music, Jazz and Beyond, and Music of the Americas. Each themed performance showcases the musical scope of the festival. It assembles a lineup of guest artists, Frost ’s artist-faculty and student ensembles. Richard Todd, an associate professor of the horn and brass program, will be performing a horn concerto written by Gunther Schuller, who has conducted internationally and composed more than 160 orginal compositions, in addition to his own composition “Celebracion. ”

Say goodbye to boring tour guides. Taking place every Tuesday is the Student Docent Program at the Lowe Art Museum, a one-credit class that teaches students how to be tour guides at an art museum. “This course offers students the opportunity to learn about specific works of art in the museum and to practice their presentation, speaking and listening skills while guiding other UM students during tours, ” said Jodi Sypher, the curator of education at the Lowe and the professor of the class. During the semester, students learn about artwork, public speaking and museum management. “The class just started, but we are already learning how to give museum tours and to learn the inner workings and behind-the-scenes construction of exhibits, ” said Stephanie Kryzak, an anthropology major in the class. The class is not just for art students. “This program is for students interested in learning more about art or art history and museum edu-

At the end of the semester, all students are required to guide a group of students through the Lowe and then write a paper reflecting on the experience. “I was able to appreciate just how much dedication is required to give tours and what exactly the pur-
pose of giving tours was all about, ” said Erica Benson, who took the class last spring, in her reflection paper. Sypher wants her students to take away more than just knowledge about the artwork. “I hope that students gain an appreciation for taking a longer, slower look at works of art, gain confidence in themselves, tell other
students on campus about the Lowe Art Museum and have fun doing it all, ” Sypher said. Kryzak hopes to use her skills to help educate others about art. “Museums are really dynamic environments and I wanted to learn more, ” Kryzak said. “I can help increase interest in museums and art for middle schoolers and high schoolers. ”

Political views unimportant in dating
Charges delivered to Pike
Study analyzes online profiles BY JACKIE SALO STAFF WRITER
New research conducted at the University of Miami suggests that although some might say love is blind, many people refrain from advertising their political preferences on dating websites to attempt to attract suitors. The study, published in 2011 and titled “Do bedroom eyes wear political glasses? The role of politics in human mate attraction, ” was conducted by political science professor Casey Klofstad in conjunction with professors at Brown University and Pennsylvania State University. Studies have shown that the second-most shared quality with significant others in long-term relationships is political preference. The researchers wanted to determine whether this is a factor at beginning of the dating process. After retrieving data from 2,944 random dating profiles, the researchers analyzed the data to determine whether the online daters had denoted any political views or interest in politics. “People were voluntarily willing to describe themselves as overweight, ” Klofstad said. “They were more likely to do that than say they were interested in politics. ” Only 14 percent of those studied indicated that they were interested in politics, while 17 percent made known that they were overweight. Out of the 27 interest categories, an interest in politics clocked in 23, which was higher than business networking and book clubs but below video games. Klofstad said that after analyzing the data, they determined that people predominantly identify themselves as “middle of the road, ” with no definitive political preference. The research indicated that 57 percent of online daters fell into this category.

“Either it is due to a lack of interest, a desire to have a wider dating pool, or most likely both, ” Klofstad said. For students, political ideology may play a more significant role in dating when one is particularly interested in politics. “Amongst my group of my friends who are within our age group and passionate about politics, party affiliation plays a role in a possible person they might become interested in, ” said Saira Sumbal, a junior who worked with Klofstaf on the research. “If politics are
not a big part of your life than you probably wont exercise that as much. ” While the data acknowledges people ’s reluctance to reveal political preferences, it has no explanation for the phenomenon. “There is an interesting puzzle because we know politics matter in the long run but it doesn ’t at the outset of the dating process, ” Klofstad said. “The question is that we have to look at it as what goes on at the start of dating and getting into a long-term relationship? How do we filter out the
people who disagree with us about politics and hold on to the ones that do? ” Klofstad offers two possible two solutions. The first suggests that people are driven by evolution to produce healthy offspring and thus choose long-termpartners who have compatible political views. On the other hand, individuals may be basing longterm relationships on traits, such as intellectual ability and level of religious devotion, that often correlate with political positions.

The Department of Judicial Affairs has delivered charges to Pi Kappa Alpha, which has been under investigation for several weeks. The fraternity, which is also known as Pike, has until Friday to respond. “I am not able to provide more information at this time, ” said Anthony Lake, associate dean of students who is in charge of Greek organization affairs. The charges may be connected to a Coral Gables police report filed Sept. 5 at approximately 1 a.m. Both Lake and Harrison Potak, president of Pike, declined to comment about this document. According to the report, a 19-year-old female student was found unconscious near the bike racks at Pearson Residential College. Her eyes were “rolled back ” and she had a “a strong odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from her breath. ” The officer had to apply three drops of ammonia in order to get the student to respond. Still, she “could not get up on her own ” and did not “want to open her eyes. ” The student responded to the officer ’s questions in a “weak and low tone of voice ” and remained “on the grass with her eyes closed. ” According the report, the student said that she drank vodka and beer at an off-campus party hosted by Pike. She then stated that a man had driven her to the bike racks and dropped her off. The student was eventually transported to Doctor ’s Hospital. According to UM ’s Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, a student organization has 72 hours after receiving a notice of a charge to respond with either a request to dismiss the case, a statement that says it is responsible or not responsible for the charges (either would result in a disciplinary hearing), or a plea of no contest, which would subject the organization to any sanction by the dean ’s office without the organization ’s input.

Plans for campus bike rental program delayed Parking system took priority BY LUANA GONCALVES CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER
The campus bike rental program will not be launched this fall semester. Jake Krupa, treasurer for Student Government (SG), worked with the Department of Parking and Transportation Services last spring to initiate a bike rental program this fall. “Unfortunately, because of the new parking system being implemented, the bike rental program hasn ’t seen much more development over the summer, ” Krupa said. SG proposed a free bike rental service to combine with the new parking system as an effort to help students get around campus. Now, with the color-coded system in place, some students 4
NEWS
have had to walk quite a distance to their classes. This initiative was also supposed to help ease traffic from students piling into the shuttle, allowing them to use bikes as an alternative to get them to their destinations with ease. According to Krupa, over the summer the bike rental program stalled because of the priority of the new parking system, but there is progress on a strong prototype. “We did receive a wellliked prototype at the end of the spring 2011 semester and are working on a way to make the final product widely available to students, ” Krupa said. Richard Sobaram, director of parking and transportation services, ordered a unisex bike prototype last spring to test its durability for bicycle sharing with multiple people. “There is a bike company that is recognizable called Worksman Cycles. They build
THE MIAMI HURRICANE
really durable bikes, ” he said. “I actually ordered the prototype where they put the University of Miami logo on it and they shipped it to me. ” Despite the delay, the plan has not been abandoned. “We are at the stage right now we ’re still analyzing what type of bike-sharing program we should have if we have one, ” Sobaram said. According to Sobaram, the university has several options as far as how they would like to conduct the program. Bike sharing can take many forms of rental, from self service, which would have students rent through an office and return their bike at the end of the day, to high-tech, where a student could check out bikes with a student ID at a station. Miami Beach initiated their bike rental program, DecoBike, in March, with 500 bicycles available to rent. B-cycle, which is a bike
Sept. 29 - Oct. 2, 2011
rental program similar to DecoBike, provides statistics for different cities and universities on the environmental affect of implementing the system. B-cycle ’s website reports that if 10 percent of UM ’s students who drive switched to bikes, it would cut out 19 tons of carbon emissions, saving 1,962 gallons of gas per year. It could also reduce traffic congestion by more than 300 cars. “When that gasoline burns, it emits gases, most commonly carbon dioxide, and emits nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, toxins which are cancer causing and they ’re dangerous, ” said George Gonzalez, an associate professor of political science who specializes in environmental politics. Stephanie Fernandez, a junior majoring in political science and Rathskeller employee, finds the walking distance in between her classes convenient. “I have to park by the
BankUnited Center, ” she said. “I only had 30 minutes to get out of class, change and walk back [to work.] ” Although the bike rental program will not happen this semester, students can still participate in UBike, a Green U initiative supported by the Department of Parking and Transportation Services. Students can purchase a beach cruiser bicycle at the UM Bookstore for only $59. There are free air stations available at the Ponce and Pavia parking garages, and students can receive a free bike lock when they register their bikes with the UM Police Department. As a commuter, Fernandez sees the Hurry ‘Canes shuttles as an alternative to walking, but wants another option instead. “If the school came out with a different alternative, like bike rentals, I would definitely use it, ” Fernandez said.

Dr. Jagajan Karmacharya, an associate professor at the Miller School of Medicine, was killed Sunday along with his girlfriend in a plane crash near the capital of Nepal. Karmacharya, who was also the chief of vascular surgery at Miami ’s Veterans ’ Administration Hospital, had traveled to his home country of Nepal to visit his sick mother and introduce her to his girlfriend. Accompanied by his brother and sister-in-law, the couple had taken a Buddha Air sightseeing f light to Mount Everest. Investigators suspect that the aircraft crashed while attempting to land. Karmacharya ’s brother was taken to the hospital, where he died later that day. The crash claimed the lives of all

the Miami Herald. Karmacharya has been with the Miller School for three years. He played a key role in getting the school accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education for the Vascular Surgery Fellowship. “This is not just sad for us; it ’s a great family tragedy, ” Alan Livingstone told the Miami Herald. Livingstone is the chairman of the department of surgery at UM ’s Miller School of Medicine and was Karmacharya ’s supervisor. Karmacharya is survived by his teenage son, his two brothers and his mother.

Smoke-free areas spark rebellion The University of Miami campus ’ new smoking zones became effective Sept. 1. A map of these designated smoking areas has circulated, but the only noticeable changes on campus are signs reminding smokers not to light up and blue poles with ashtrays in these spots. A walk along the paths connecting the campus still involves dodging clouds of smoke, even though there may not even be a smoking area nearby. Clearly, many students are up in arms against the university ’s motion to become smoke-free. UM aims to cut its smoking zones in half by August 2012, and would like to be entirely smoke-free a year after that. So what is the purpose of banning smoking? Although it would please the population of students that don ’t smoke, it is treating the portion that does unfairly. The university shouldn ’t be responsible for forcing students to stop smoking. That being said, smoking is a choice. Nonsmokers shouldn ’t have to deal with secondhand smoke if they don ’t want to. In theory, the designated smoking areas are extremely beneficial. However, the plan has nu-

merous flaws that should be fixed before it can take its desired effects. The obvious problem is that this policy is not being enforced. People blatantly smoke in nonsmoking areas without facing any consequences. If the university is relying on the honor code, it ’s falling flat. Smokers might be more inclined to smoke only in designated areas if the alternative meant a punishment. Getting to these areas, however, can be inconvenient because they are located in places where students don ’t tend to congregate. It ’s frustrating to ditch your friends to smoke somewhere else, and this fact may further discourage smokers from abiding by the new initiative. But a smoking area in the Rat ’s outside patio, for example, wouldn ’t be too inconvenient for nonsmokers and could give smokers the freedom to drink, eat and smoke. Courtesy, however, is one thing that everyone should agree on. Smokers, please be considerate of those around you that may not want smoke blown in their faces.

From the news reports and speculations on Palestine ’s petition for United Nations statehood, it seems ESTHER PANG P a l e s t i n e ’ s CONTRIBUTING possible stateCOLUMNIST hood could still happen even though the United States is likely to veto it. However, the bigger issue here seems to be what would become of the Israeli-Palestinian situation if Palestine ’s bid is accepted. Would Palestine ’s statehood be the catalyst to stop both sides from dilly-dallying, and encourage faster progress in settling the issue of boundaries and the people? Or is this bid a way for Pales-
tine to make an attempt at establishing an independent state while bypassing negotiations, as Israel and the U.S. seem to feel? The Palestinian government wants to protect the rights of its people. For them, UN statehood is the closest thing the nation can get to a guarantee that its opinion will be accepted. At the same time, a Palestinian political party, Hamas, is against the bid; it believes the state of Israel should not be recognized alongside a Palestinian state. Neither method bodes well for future negotiations from either side. Even now, Israel is discussing the idea of an interim solution that would allow Palestine to establish their state with existing borders. But it seems that for the moment, Palestine wants nothing less than statehood.
Most agree that compromise needs to be involved for an ideal situation; it is questionable if Palestine will be as willing to negotiate with Israel if their bid is accepted. Both parties have stopped direct negotiations plenty of times before. If Palestine wants to use the UN statehood to make sure their voice is heard, then perhaps the UN should attach guidelines to Palestine ’s possible statehood to prevent either side from tackling the settlement and military issues without negotiation. Treaties created during this conflict have both succeeded and failed. Maybe the resolution this time lies in the way the two nations react to this possible change.

Stereotyping interferes with meeting new people I am from Lawng Eyeland. I open and close draws, drink wooter and like my cawfee dark. Now, as the reader, many things may have rushed into your mind before meeting me. NICOLE SPITERI CONTRIBUTING Some common asCOLUMNIST sumptions are: (1) My taste in men ranges from juiceheads to stronger, tanner juiceheads. (2) I wear Juicy Couture track suits with the pants tucked into my Uggs. (3) My daddy bought me a Mercedes on my 16th birthday. (4) I claim I am from New York. Note: to those in the dark, “New York ” implies Manhattan, excluding any other part of the state. None of the previous statements apply to me, however, maybe these assumptions immediately halted any chance of a real friendship between us. I only use Long Island as a preliminary example, but there are stereotypes regarding every region of the U.S., most of which are exaggerated, some just absolutely false and the obvious situations in which there are plain exceptions. As students who attend a private university, we have the amazing opportunity to meet people from all over the country, not just one state or region. But as I start my third year at the University of Miami, it is clear to me that students often stick with members of the same geographic area as themselves throughout all four years of undergrad. But why?

OPINION
For one, it is all about comfort. The fear of judgment is often a deterrent of seeking out new friends, especially those who are unfamiliar to you. This is understandable – the main reason I sigh before responding to the conversation starter, “Where are you from? ” is not because I am ashamed, but because of common judgmental thoughts. Secondly, not only are others judging us without knowing us, but we judge others. I can still remember when I met some of my best friends during freshman year. The judgment I placed on them was ridiculous. I thought my Wisconsin friend ’s trusting attitude was naïve and borderline comical, my Tennessee friend ’s “field parties ” were absurd, my Floridian friend ’s driving habits were life-threatening (I stand by this), my North Carolina friend ’s open and friendly attitude was a little creepy, my Michigan friend ’s accent was incomprehensible and weird, and I even placed judgment on fellow Long Islanders! Since then, I have learned many valuable things from each of them. A little Midwest trust is not a bad thing, a keg outdoors in a field is fantastic, using my horn can get me somewhere faster, it ’s okay to start a conversation with a total stranger, accents can be really attractive and I ’m not the only exception to the Long Island stereotype. Make life interesting – meet new people (even if they exclusively wear Ed Hardy or Vineyard Vines), drink, be merry, and argue over whether it is “Kings, ” “Ring of Fire, ” or “Circle of Death. ” Cheers to ‘merica, no matter where you are from.

a whole. Let me explain by using the widely accepted hookup culture as an example. What I believe to be an offshoot of the “Free Love ” movement of the 1960s, the hookup culture is particularly notable for the way it encourages people to use others as sexual objects. We are told that the sexual objectification of women is reprehensible yet we ’re bombarded by Hollywood ( “No Strings Attached, ” “Friends With Benefits ” and every college movie ever made), by television shows ( “Two and a Half Men, ” “How I Met Your Mother ” and many others) and by friends encouraging the use of others for sex. There is also a double standard. Women who give in to sexual frenzy are labeled as whores, while men who have multiple partners are treated like champions. The conse-

quences of a simple hookup, drunk or sober, extend long after the act of sex itself. At some point in our lives, most of us imagine sex as a bonding moment between ourselves and someone that unconditionally loves us. We feel a sense of attachment to our romantic partner and that is alright. Sex for the sake of love is OK because love is the ultimate gift you can give to someone. And the act is only truly pleasurable when an emotional component is involved. Otherwise, it ’s just a physical gratification. However, sex is fun because it is subconsciously associated with procreation. Reputations, integrity and self-esteem get tarnished only when people have sex for the wrong reasons, such as for boosting social status or because the desired person is attractive. When a person uses another for anything (especially for sex), the other person feels worthless. Often enough, the perpetrator ’s temporarily boosted self-esteem crashes as well. My worst experiences in life have been caused or worsened by friends not loving me in return. From what I have observed, the sex factor only multiplies those feelings of discontent and worthlessness. There ’s no excuse for it. Andrew Blitman is a senior majoring in marine affairs and biology.

edge Funky fall trends BY EDYNA GARCIA | CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

STYLISH: UM graduate Cristina Gonzalez wears feather extensions in her hair along with a fashionable manicure, ombre nails.
As fall approaches, we start to notice changes in fashion with various summer trends continuing through the fall. Feather and glitter hair extensions, and funky manicures are all the rage this season. Sometimes a girl needs to make a drastic change to her look. Although changing your hair color might be the ideal way to do it, this can sometimes result in permanent damage. Luckily, feather extensions are the perfect way to get a little daring with color without damaging your hair, especially for those with darker hair. It ’s the perfect way to mix up your style; not to mention they ’re offered in a variety of colors from solids to neons, including blue, pink, yellow, purple, red, green, brown and black. Lasting anywhere from two weeks to nine months, feather extensions are semipermanent and can endure blowdrying, flat ironing or curling on a daily basis. Not a fan of feathers? Not a problem. Opt for glitter extensions instead. Applied in the same manner and as durable as its feathery relative, you ’ll be sure to shine everywhere you go. Manicures are also becoming a fashion statement. Stepping away from the standard solid colors, this fall it ’s all about mixing colors, prints and strips to create a unique look. First things first, square nails are out, and long and rounded nails are in — if you don ’t like long nails, just keep them short and rounded. Next time you pay a visit to the salon, be a little daring. Ask for a moon manicure. It ’s like a French manicure, except that your whole nail is painted in one solid color — usually dark or bright — and the area along your nailbed is left natural or a light contrasting color. It ’s definitely a fun yet conservative way to make a statement. Not feeling the conservative look? Get a little daring, and play around with nail strips and various patterns. Flowers, stripes, newspaper-patterned nails, glitter and colorful French manicures are all the rage and definitely taking the fashion industry by storm. Various models were seen sporting them on the runway during this year ’s Fall Fashion Week. You can also try the ombre nails, made fashionable by Lauren Conrad. Pick five different colors within the same color scheme. Then, paint each nail with one of the colors; start with your thumb with the lightest color and finish with your pinky with the darkest shade. It gives a cool, gradual fading effect to your nails.

6,364 MINUTES PLAYED
26 SHUTOUTS
309 SAVES
Seventy games played, 309 saves, 26 shoutouts, 6,364 minutes recorded in goal and the statistics keep piling up. Senior goalkeeper Vikki Alonzo is the team leader both on and off the field, yet she does not settle for her spot at the top. “Always keep in mind when you ’re not working or not working hard, someone is out there working harder than you, trying to be better than you, ” Alonzo said. Alonzo, a sports administration major with a minor in marketing from Carrollton, Texas, is no stranger to hard work. Since high school, she has been named “Goalie of the Year, ” and has played as a member of state and national championship-winning Olympic Development and club teams. A four-year starter at UM, Alonzo is the school ’s career leader in shutouts and single-season leader in saves, goals against average and minutes in goal. Assistant coach Nate Norman describes Alonzo as a “technically sound goalkeeper ” with good shot anticipation. Norman credits her improvement on aerial saves to hard work and countless hours with goalkeeper trainer Devon Pierre. “On the field we can always count on Vikki organizing our defense, and she is always worth a goal or two every game, ” Norman said. “There aren ’t many female goalkeepers that can come up with some of the saves she comes up with. ” Alonzo is a leader respected by both her fellow players and coaches. “What makes her such a good leader is that she is a great person, ” Sept. 29 - Oct. 2, 2011
Norman said. “She would do anything for anyone on our team. With Vikki it ’s not about how she can help herself out, but how she can help others get better. That is the type of culture we are trying to create and she personifies it tremendously. ” Alonzo describes her leadership role as the mediator between players and coaches, and an aid to underclassmen balancing school and soccer. She believes the most important responsibility as a team leader is “staying positive and making sure everyone is motivated. ” As a senior, Alonzo has also assumed the responsibilities of a mentor for younger players and, in particular, freshman goalkeeper Abbey Smith. “I do see myself as a mentor, ” Alonzo said. “I make sure she [Smith] is always going hard against me, pushing me because I am doing the same to her. Off the field, I make sure she is doing OK with school and just make sure she knows she can talk to me about anything. ” The best way to make an example is simply by being herself. “She naturally leads by example by being a technically sound goalkeeper in every way, ” Norman said. “She is constantly pushing and teaching Abbey everyday in practice. There is no other goalkeeper I would want Abbey to learn from on how to act on the field and off the field than Vikki. ” Alonzo ’s best advice to young players is to “stay positive and always make sure during practice you give everything. ” “You practice how you play, ” she said. Looking ahead to the future, Alonzo hopes to continue to play the sport for which she is so passionate, in the professional leagues in the United States or abroad. She looks forward to returning to college soccer one day as a head coach or goalkeeper coach when her playing days are over.

STREET BALL: Wide receiver Tommy Streeter scores during the first half of the game against Kansas State last Saturday. Streeter, who played eight games last year, has already gained 130 yards in the air.
Golden searching for consistency Bethune-Cookman next challenge BY AUSTEN GREGERSON SENIOR SPORTS WRITER
As Miami head coach Al Golden has stated often this season, the amount of talent on his team has not been a factor in deciding games. For him, it ’s just a matter of showing it. “If you were to say, ‘what ’s the one thing that [I ’d] like to fix on this team right now, ’ it ’s consistency, ” Golden said. “Regardless of where we play, who we play, what time of day it is, that we are the same team and each player is the same guy each and every play. ” Bethune-Cookman will be the first “tune-up ” game for the Hurricanes (1-2) this year. Though the Wildcats (2-1) won 10 games last season and have former FBS players on their roster, including Rutgers transfer wide receiver Eddie Poole, they are the type of FCS school with which most major schools start their seasons. But while the Hurricanes may finally get a week to test themselves against lesser competition, Golden 12

refuses to address this week ’s game as a pushover. “We ’re playing teams that know how to win, ” Golden said. “We ’re starting off playing teams that have won 38 games a year ago. The first three were three bowl teams that won 28 games, so we ’re not in preseason, we jumped right into it. I think when we played well against Ohio State, we won. We didn ’t play a full game against Kansas State. We ’re not good enough to do that right now. ” After throwing an interception for the second straight game, senior quarterback Jacory Harris threw two touchdowns and failed to complete just two of 11 passes in the second half of Saturday ’s loss against Kansas State. Tough as the loss may have been for Harris and the rest of the team, the comfort of having another game to prepare for was welcomed. “We just get back up, ” Harris said. “I ’m not mad about anything, I ’m just out here with my teammates having fun and preparing like it ’s another game, which it is. You gotta keep moving forward- short-term memory. ” The Hurricanes currently rank 99th in rushing defense in
the NCAA and worst in the ACC, allowing 196.6 yards per game on the ground. Though their pass defense ranks first in the conference – 172 yards per game – teams have only attempted 80 passes this season, also lowest in the conference. Most concerning and glaring about the defense ’s struggles against the opposition ’s running attack is the lack of consistent contribution by the defensive line. None of the top five tacklers on the team are linemen, and more concerning is the fact that safeties JoJo Nicolas and Vaughn Telemaque are in the top three. Senior linebacker Sean Spence, the team ’s leading tackler with 20 stops this season (despite missing the Maryland game due to suspension), has done his part as the defense ’s unquestioned leader “The whole defensive line is frustrated, ” Spence said. “We pride ourselves on stopping the run, and if we don ’t stop it teams are going to continue to run it on us. But I think guys understand that this is a team sport and guys just have to fill their gaps and just play ball. ” FINISH READING AT THEMIAMIHURRICANE.COM

dear ...
Dear V: Cherry popper pops in for a visit... , My friend, whom I also happened to lose my virginity to, is visiting Miami with his girlfriend. Although I haven ’t seen him in a few years, we have remained extremely close. His girlfriend doesn ’t really know the full story about our relationship and I still have feelings for him ... Would it be terribly wrong if they stayed at my place during their visit? Seeking a moral compass Dear Opportunist, There are a few avenues one could take in this situation. It ’s certainly difficult to cast aside your feelings for the person you lost your virginity to, especially if you are still on amicable terms with that person. It would be “terribly wrong ” if you bumped uglies with him and didn ’t even invite her for a threesome, but so long as you keep your feel-
ings in check during their visit, you won ’t cause any serious damage. It ’s better that the girlfriend doesn ’t know the full story. Sure, being honest with your partner is important, but there are some things, like ex-relationships and whether or not she ’s gained weight, that you either ease into or don ’t tell at all. This isn ’t really dishonestly, it ’s saving her from having a stroke during her vacation. I know it ’s difficult because you do have feelings for him, but you have to be patient and wait for the right opening to tell him that; you don ’t want to ruin a great friendship by putting him in an impossible situation. If you feel that you ’re losing too much ground and you have to go “all in, ” at least wait until the trip is over, there ’s no need for you two girls to throw in mouth guards and march into the octagon. You could challenge her to a duel if you want. Maybe head to the store and buy some of those foam play swords or some Hulk Hands. I wouldn ’t recommend this approach (especially considering the last line of the paragraph I just wrote), but what the hell, it ’s fun for me to imagine two
women bashing each other with Hulk Hands in the toy aisle at Wal-Mart. This probably wouldn ’t impress your boy too much, he probably wouldn ’t ever talk to you again, but it would stroke his ego. If you want to creep the girl out, you could buy a pup tent and pitch it in the middle of your living room. Tell them they can ’t stay in the spare room, or on the couch, because your roommate has leprosy. This doesn ’t really solve your problem, but it would be kind of funny. But, you should be fine, just be friendly and try to have fun with them. You don ’t want to wear your heart on your sleeve, because complicating matters between them in your own house is going to escalate into something that might damage all hope for your future. …and for God ’s sake, don ’t do anything I said in the 3rd paragraph, V Have a question for V?
