Pumpkin patch brings autumn spirit

Morris throws for ACC-record 566 yards as Canes outlast Wolfpack Miami heads to Chicago to face Notre Dame

BY ERNESTO SUAREZ SPORTS EDITOR

transgender (LGBT) community at UM, introduced the bill to prevent Chick-fil-A from opening a franchise at UM, primarily in the SAC. Chick-fil-A, a privately owned fast food chain, came under fire over the summer when its president, Dan Cathy, announced that he does not support gay marriage.

“We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit,” Cathy told The Baptist Press in mid-July.

school and conference record for single game passing yards. Five touchdowns through the air. Two players with more than 180 receiving yards. And somehow, it was just barely enough.

Junior quarterback Stephen Morris threw a 62-yard strike to Phillip Dorsett with 19 seconds left as the Miami Hurricanes defeated the N.C. State Wolfpack in a 44-37 shootout Saturday afternoon. The Canes (41, 3-0 ACC) remain unbeaten in the conference while the Wolfpack (3-2, 0-1) dropped their first ACC game.

It was a career day for Morris. Just a week after his 436-yard, two-touchdown effort against Georgia Tech, Morris lit up Sun Life stadium with 566 passing yards, crushing Gino Torretta’s school record of 485 and setting an all-time ACC best in the process.

Morris remained humble, saying the most important part of the day was coming away with the win.

“It’s huge,” Morris said of the record. “I really just can’t stay on that. I’m just still trying to get better. I left too many things out there. There’s always things to work on and get better at.”

Miami took a 10-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, but missed several opportunities to put the game away. But on third down with 32 seconds to go in regulation and the Canes lined up at their own 38, Morris scrambled right and decided to take a deep shot. His spiraling bomb went 61 yards in the air, over three N.C. State defenders and into the hands of Dorsett, who had a free ride into the endzone.

“I don’t really know what to say about it. It was kind of a freakish thing to happen but I just rolled out to the right, I was trying to buy time and I saw him,” Morris said.

“I saw Phillip running. I didn’t want to go to overtime, so I said, ‘Here goes nothing,’ threw it up to him and he did a great job making a play.”

SG Senate rejects Chick-fil-A bill Chick-fil-A, which supports anti-LGBT groups, unlikely to open on campus

he Student Government Senate failed to pass a bill Wednesday afternoon that would have prohibited Chick-fil-A from opening a location at UM. After the vote, Parker Barnett, the speaker of the Senate, issued a statement saying that the bill was voted down “primarily based on conflicting views regarding the bill’s language – not concept.”

“The University of Miami Student Government continues to have a strong

belief that discrimination of any form is never acceptable,” the statement read.

Still, it is unlikely that Chick-fil-A will operate a franchise on campus.

The university is currently looking into the retail options that will be located in the new Student Activities Center (SAC). According to Patricia Whitely, vice president for student affairs, no decision has been reached regarding the dining options that will be offered at the SAC.

New club aims to highlight overlooked culture

Quechua, Andean Club celebrates languages

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

BY DANIELLE REID CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Students now have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the Quechua culture and language, the most widely spoken indigenous language of the Andes.

The new Quechua and Andean Culture Club celebrates the traditions of the indigenous groups that inhabit regions of Andean South America.

Americo Mendoza-Mori, a graduate student and Spanish professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literature, founded the club to introduce the UM community to the culture’s history.

Mendoza-Mori identifies with the Andean people and hopes to highlight a culture frequently overseen when considering the Hispanic population. He believes the club will enrich the diversity of the campus and introduce students to the culture.

“This language is alive, and it is spoken by 10 million people,” Mendoza-Mori said.

Freshman Sydney Sussman also thinks the club adds to the campus’ focus on diversity.

“It’s cool that this group of people is still around,” she said. “This club will be great for people who like to explore other cultures. Our campus is so diverse, and this is just another thing that will expand students’ knowledge.”

Each semester, the club will host two cultural nights featuring traditional Quechua games and storytellers. Attendees will have the opportunity to listen to traditional music and learn cultural phrases in the Quechua

tongue. The language, which is a dialect of an ancestral language that dates back to the Incan empire, is still spoken by 10 million people.

The club’s presence will extend beyond campus – it will function as a connection between the Andean community in Miami-Dade County and the university campus through community-oriented events.

UM’s Directed Independent Language Study (DILS) program also offers Quechua courses. The program allows students to practice and master foreign languages otherwise unavailable.

Additionally, the new study abroad program UCusco allows students to spend the spring semester in Peru. Participants will be able to take an introductory course in Quechua and electives such as a Latin-American studies course on Andean civilizations.

The Quechua and Andean Culture Club will hold its next meeting at 6 p.m. Monday in the Modern Languages Library in the Merrick Building. No previous knowledge of Quechua is necessary. For more information, contact Mendoza-Mori at a.mendozamori@miami. edu.

Students planning to graduate at the end of the fall 2012 semester must apply online at myUM

Eligible students who are scheduled to complete their degree requirements in the fall must apply by the deadline to participate in commencement, order their caps and gowns, and be included in the program book.

SpectrUM plans to stand its ground against vendor in SAC CHICK-FIL-A FROM PAGE 1

Since then, Chick-fil-A has also been criticized for donating its profits to anti-LGBT groups. The controversy has led to attempts to ban Chick-fil-A on more than 30 college campuses, according to an article in the Huffington Post. Although a Chicago city official recently claimed that Chick-fil-A had agreed to stop these donations, it remains unclear whether the company has actually changed its practices.

At the Senate meeting, Payne argued that Chick-fil-A violated the University of Miami’s key principles by donating to anti-LGBT groups.

UM’s Non-Discrimination/Anti-Harassment Policy states: “It is the policy of the University of Miami that no ... person ... shall on the grounds of ... sexual orientation ... be subjected to discrimination or harassment in ... any educational program or activity of the University.”

The Core Values of the University of Miami, a section of the university’s mission statement, also says that UM is committed to fostering in its students “the foundations for ethical citizenship and ... a respect for differ-

ences among people.”

“The university community needs to be more proactive about who we do business with,” Payne said.

He also cited other organizations on campus that had taken action against Chick-fil-A. Hecht Residential College will not use Chick-fil-A as a vendor for its events, said Payne, who heard about the ban from a resident assistant in Hecht.

At Canefest in August, Chick-fil-A was absent after having catered the event for several years.

According to Bibi Yasmin Moghani, the co-chair of the Committee of Student Organizations (COSO), which oversees Canefest, Chick-fil-A had already been approved as a vendor when the group decided to rescind the offer.

“We just didn’t think the ideology and diversity of what our student body represents agrees with their CEO,” she said.

At the meeting, Payne stated that regardless of whether the bill passed, university administrators had made it clear to him that Chick-fil-A would not be welcome on campus.

“My entire goal for this bill is for SpectrUM to make its voice heard,” he said.

In a statement, Whitely acknowledged that administration was “sensitive to SpectruUM student leaders’ concerns regarding Chick-fil-A.” Despite this setback, SpectrUM plans to “go back to the drawing board” in order to determine whether they will introduce an updated version of the bill to Senate, said Shelby Juarez, SpectrUM president.

“Our purpose needs to be updated and that’s where we’re at,” she said. “It might not change, but I can’t say that for sure.”

According to Juarez, SpectrUM still plans to organize a series of educational activities about how consumers can express their views through what they buy and which companies they support.

Moghani believes that Chick-fil-A’s presence on campus will diminish because catering food from the chain is simply not a convenient option for student organizations.

“It’s not food that can easily be brought to campus,” she said. “Dadeland is kind of far away.”

Student support for a Chick-fil-A on campus is mixed. The Miami Hurricane’s online survey of 78 voters found that 49 percent favored bringing Chick-fil-A to campus, 38 perOct. 1 - Oct. 3, 2012

cent were opposed to it and 13 percent had no opinion.

Last spring, sophomore Seth Furman created an online petition to bring Chick-fil-A to campus. Back then, Furman was a member of SG’s Dining Services Advisory Board and was working closely with dining services to reach his goal. However, after Cathy publicized his anti-LGBT views over the summer, Furman deleted his online petition and is now working to ensure that Chick-fil-A will never have a location on campus.

“Having a Chick-fil-A on campus would have made it uncomfortable for not only our LGBT population, who are extremely passionate Canes and who love their alma mater as much as I do, but for myself as well,” he said.

Other students, like sophomore Leah August, simply don’t care.

“It doesn’t really affect me one way or another,” she said. “I’m not really concerned.”

Court overturns disqualifications

Ibis Ride could add stop for UV residents

Five senate candidates will be able to serve

BY ALYSHA KHAN ENTERPRISE EDITOR

The Student Government Supreme Court overturned the disqualifications of five candidates for SG Senate after a series of trials Friday evening.

All five won their Senate seats but failed to turn in their financial reports on time. This resulted in automatic disqualification.

The court overturned the decisions after finding that the punishments for turning in a form late were “too severe,” said Chief Justive Sean Norris.

“In each case, there were enough extenuating circumstances to overturn a disqualification,” he said.

One of the candidates on trial was Brianna Hathaway, who won a seat for the freshman class. She had two exams the day the financial forms were due.

“I wasn’t able to check my email for the reminder,” she said.

Hathaway believes that the violation was fair because it is part of the SG Elections Code, but does feel that the deadline should be later in the day.

Monica Gerstner, who won the second seat for the senior class, did not comment on the specifics of her disqualification but is glad that the court ruled in her favor.

“It is important that the court ruled in favor of the student’s voice and the democratic process was not affected,” she said.

SG to evaluate risks of addition to route

BY JORDAN SCHUMAN CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

The “Thirsty Thursday” trip to Coconut Grove on the Ibis Ride may soon be making a new stop at the University Village.

A service offered by the Department of Student Affairs, the Dean of Students Office and Pier 21, Ibis Ride provides free transportation to and from the Grove on Thursday and Friday nights from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. at the Stanford Circle shuttle stop.

Senior Samir Mathew recently proposed that Student Government add an extra stop at the UV for those who want to use the service without walking to Stanford Circle.

“After moving to the UV, I realized how much my friends and I were spending on cabs to get to the Grove,” he said.

“I then figured it would make more sense to have a shuttle that left from the UV that would service the upperclassmen.”

Two buses currently circle the Grove and return to campus. Students wait no more than 20 to 30 minutes for a ride, which takes 10 to 15 minutes. If the Ibis Ride were to make a stop at the UV, it would take an additional 10 to 15 minutes of travel time.

Senior UV resident Maria Francis believes that the extra time is not an inconvenience and the extension has “more pros than cons.”

“It is a really good idea for those who do not want to take a cab or drive,” she said. “It will also be more convenient

because I won’t have to make the trip to Stanford Circle, especially at night for safety reasons.”

SG President Nawara Alawa agrees with the additional stop at the UV. “The potential extension to those in the UV is great,” she said. “It promotes the legal drinking age because residents of the UV are mostly older than 21.”

Theoretically, the UV stop would also be closer to the freshmen dorms if students cross San Amaro Drive. Alawa said SG is not willing to take that risk.

To combat the presence of inappropriate drinking, student monitors are present on each bus ride, and supervisors help handle passengers at each stop who are at risk because of alcohol.

A stop near the UV would also help prevent intoxicated students from walking long distances.

“No one wants to walk a mile drunk and in heels,” senior Meghna Desai said.

While SG is considering this service, students who live in the UV and want to take the shuttle can request to be dropped off at the UV on the return trip to campus.

Alternative options are still being explored for the Ibis Ride, like a new bus that would serve UV residents exclusively. For now, no plans have been finalized for this new extension.

“We don’t want to jump into this and fail and have the entire Ibis Ride be taken away,” Alawa said. “At this point, the risk isn’t worth the reward.”

Has Chick-fil-A’s antigay affiliation stopped you from purchasing their food?

TIMOTHY RAMLAKAN JUNIOR “Chick-fil-A’s anti-gay affiliation has not affected my purchasing of their product in any way, shape or form.

I believe the views of the owner should not be the views of the employees. They all have their own minds and they can think for themselves.

And because of that I will still continue to purchase their products.”

FELIX MARTINEZ FRESHMAN “I would say no because what they believe should not affect the product they are selling. If you want to go out and say what you have to say that’s good because it is a free country and all.

And that has not affected me because one, I love their food and two, that shouldn’t affect the product selling.”

A staff divided: Chick-fil-A on campus The Miami Hurricane’s Editorial Board met Sunday afternoon to discuss whether Chick-fil-A should be able to open a location on campus. By the end of the discussion, the Board was unable to reach a consensus. Although the 15 members in attendance unanimously agree on supporting LGBT rights – which include same-sex marriage, hospital visitation rights and adoption – we are divided about the situation at hand as it relates to the university.

As such, we have decided to publish two separate arguments for consideration by the student body, ensuring that no arbitrary tiebreaker was used. Responses and reactions are encouraged through letters to the editor at editor@themiamihurricane.com and comments left on themiamihurricane.com.

Company sells food, not beliefs

Campus should take a stand

very company instills a set of core values.

Apple has been known to outsource children and pay them below minimum wage.

And Chick-fil-A has recently been in the limelight for contributing more than $1 million to anti-LGBT organizations. However, they’re still in business, and doing relatively well.

You can’t begin to imagine all the businesses that support causes we may not believe in, but we don’t bother looking up the long list.

When you’re buying the latest iPhone, you’re not thinking about all the children Apple used to make the device, and when you’re at Dadeland Mall and want a chicken sandwich with a side of waffle fries, you’re not thinking of the anti-gay advocates benefiting from Chick-fil-A’s generous contributions.

We buy what we want because we like it, not because we’re endorsing a specific company’s views.

The Miami Hurricane conducted a poll asking students about Chick-fil-A opening a location at UM. More than 70 students voted. 46 percent said yes, 39 percent said no, and 15 percent don’t care.

This argument represents the 46 percent.

Chick-fil-A employs individuals who identify as LGBT. The restaurant doesn’t discriminate anyone from buying their food or serving it – they just have a belief they stand by. Nothing is wrong with that. We believe in same-sex marriage and all the rights associated with it. But we also believe in a democracy.

Individuals and companies can disclose their personal views as they please. Whoever has a problem with it can choose to disagree, but banning a restaurant on campus because of its belief is irrational.

Everyone needs to eat, but not everyone has to support gay rights. Students who don’t want to eat at Chick-fil-A don’t have to, but students who do shouldn’t be penalized for wanting to just because of its views.

If Chick-fil-A’s contributions to anti-gay organizations had not grabbed a spot in the primetime media months ago, people would’ve continued to purchase and thoroughly enjoy their order of waffle fries.

So, have your chicken, and eat it too.

s consumers, we have to pick our battles. The battle with Chick-fil-A is one worth fighting.

When we make everyday purchases, we don’t always know what other organizations eventually benefit. In fact, most of us are completely oblivious to where our dollars really end up.

But this is different. We know exactly where Chick-fil-A’s profits are headed – into the coffers of anti-LGBT groups. Though it was recently reported that Chick-fil-A has stopped donating to such groups, the truth is unclear because Chick-fil-A itself later denied those claims.

“Chick-fil-A made no such concessions, and we remain true to who we are and who we have been,” President Dan Cathy said in a statement.

With this knowledge, a decision to bring a Chick-fil-A location to campus would be unacceptable simply for the apathy it portrays.

Tuition money out of your wallets is being used by administration to hire Chartwells as the campus’ food provider. In turn, Chartwells works with third-party vendors, such as Wendy’s, Sushi Maki and possibly Chick-fil-A, to give students plenty of options.

Think of it this way: University funds would be passed through Chartwells, to Chick-fil-A and ultimately to anti-LGBT organizations that are in direct conflict with UM’s guiding principles.

The Core Values of the University of Miami, which is a section of the university's mission statement, explicitly state that UM is committed to fostering in its students “the foundations for ethical citizenship and ... a respect for differences among people ...”

Yes, Chick-fil-A is a private company and therefore has the right to donate its profits to any cause it chooses. However, the university – also a private institution – has just as much freedom to take a stand against such a decision.

Their waffle fries are beyond, we know. But banning Chick-fil-A from campus will make a political statement worth more than your beloved eightpiece value meals.

NASA’s endeavors lack inspiration

RYDEN BUTLER CONTRIBUTING SandCOLUMNIST wiched between pre-Republican National Convention coverage and news of a different Armstrong’s stripped Tour de France titles, the first human to set foot on the moon subtly reminded us that even legends fall to time.

Now only eight of the 12 men to venture to the moon remain. Their exploits proved that by tempering our courage with humility and our daring with wisdom, we can avoid an Icarian fate and fly closer to the sun than any Ancient could have imagined.

If one meager search accesses more computing power than NASA used in 1969 to send Apollo 11 on its harrowing 240,000-mile journey to the surface of the moon, why have America’s forays into space stagnated since 1972?

In a world teeming with tablets and legion with laptops, technological constraints cannot account for the lack of progress.

At some point our national priorities shifted. Our government deemed the shuttle program a loss, scuttling the ships and laying off more than 7,000 workers on Florida’s space coast.

An estimated $18 billion will fund all NASA projects in 2012, yet the Pentagon calculates involvement in Afghanistan to cost $300 million a day. This, combined with the sluggish progress of private endeavors, points to our government’s responsibil-

Naturally, problems on Earth eclipse our extraterrestrial concerns: The global economy teeters on the brink of crisis; instability across the Middle East takes a toll in untold casualties and public funds; many fight for social equality at home as revolutionaries fight for political equality abroad and the to-do-list continues.

Also, necessary international cooperation fosters global economic revitalization and constructive international diplomacy.

It is time our politicians give us something to believe in – something beyond the partisan stump speeches and demographic pandering. They must inspire with actions rather than words, worry about leading the nation instead of just leading the polls, and once again make men into myths.

much more relaxed than he was in class, had an awesome sarcastic sense of humor and really helped me out. Of course he was still slightly awkward, but let’s face it, we all are.

After meeting with him that first time, we developed a relationship.

Two years later, he wrote me a letter of recommendation.

Had I not had this experience, I doubt I would have initiated the relationships that I have with multiple professors today. We think that professors could never relate to us, but they do. I have seen one of my professors out in South Beach, which I initially thought would be extremely awkward, but it was surprisingly pleasant.

Most professors want to be there for us. For the most part, they’re stuck talking to students all day who don’t want to be there. Be the student who stands out in their mind.

Not only are they great resources for paper advice, recommendation letters and internships, but they are also funny, give great advice and can even connect you with a future employer.

VAL FESTIVA MI AM I MIAMI

DESIGN BY AMILYNN SOTO

BY MARLEE LISKER CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

The start of October marks the kickoff of the Frost School of Music’s Festival Miami, a month-long event focused on bringing a variety of music to the University of Miami and South Florida.

Open to students and community members alike, the festival focuses on four themes: Great Performances, Jazz and Beyond, Creative American Music and Music of the Americas.

These themes represent the upcoming performances, as well as the diverse genres that Frost embraces.

Shelton Berg, the dean at Frost and coordinator of Festival Miami, is enthusiastic about this year’s festival.

“Nothing demonstrates the

power of the human spirit better than great music,” Berg said.

“Audiences leave these performances uplifted in a way that only music can inspire.”

The festival caters to all musical tastes, featuring acts ranging from Broadway to jazz.

Although Frost welcomes guest performers to campus for the festival, students and professors at the school are also featured throughout the month.

Professor Lawrence Lapin, the program director of jazz vocal performance, stresses the importance of these performances for students.

Along with exposing students to various music, the festival is “good for Frost students’ training,” providing performance experience and future contacts.

“It’s a highly professionally produced and performed series,”

said Lapin, whose ensemble, Frost Jazz Vocal 1, is scheduled to perform with Roseanna Vitro on Oct. 25.

As a Florida local, Frost freshman Joshua Schwartz has attended many of the performances in the past, including an appearance by jazz musician Gunther Schuller.

“It’s a lot of music and a lot of fun,” he said.

Other past acts include Broadway star Noah Racey, Grammy Award-winner Ivan Lins and the Momentum Dance Company. This year’s festival opens on Tuesday with a free master class led by pianist Leon Fleisher. He will then conduct the Frost Symphony Orchestra on Thursday night at Gusman Concert Hall.

“Festival Miami is a reflection of who we are,” Berg said.

“It celebrates the richness and diversity of music. The programming is as diverse and exciting as we have ever had, and I truly believe that every concert will be something special.”

The performances will take place at Gusman Concert Hall, Clarke Recital Hall, Knight Concert Hall and the BankUnited Center. Tickets differ in price depending on the performance, however, select concerts are free for UM students and/or Frost School students. All master classes are free.

Additionally, there are community outreach programs, such as Culture Shock Miami and the Golden Ticket program, which offers student discounts and free senior admissions to select shows.

Q&A

Actor Austin Basis talks new TV show, big break

BY BLAKE WEIL CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

The CW has re-imagined and revamped a classic Disney story in its new show, “Beauty and the Beast,” which premieres this fall. Based loosely on an ‘80s TV show with the same name, the show tells the story of detective Cat Chandler who finally meets Vincent Keller, the man who saved her life when gunmen attacked her and her mother years ago. Keller had managed to feign his death and hide out with the help of his friend J.T. Forbes, played by Austin Basis.

The Miami Hurricane got the chance to talk to Basis about the show, his activism for Type 1 Diabetes and how he got into acting before the show’s premiere on Oct. 11.

The Miami Hurricane: How did you get into acting?

Austin Basis: Well, going back all the way to my family gatherings and functions, acting was always in my family. My parents were in plays and I did a bunch at summer camp, which was a great experience.

As a kid, I had a costume chest; I would always pick up a new costume or hat or mustache and just while away the hours in front of the mirror. I was also an athlete, which

was interesting, balancing dressing up in costumes and having fun with that and baseball and tennis and gymnastics. So then I really started to focus on my acting.

TMH: When do you think it became more than a hobby for you, and what do you consider your big break as far your roles go?

AB: Well, it became more than a hobby when I took out $90,000 in student loans. I did a lot of off-offBroadway theater, and independent films got me the experience and the knowledge of work in a professional environment.

My big break I’d say was in 2004, with my role on “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”

TMH: You’re going to appear in CW’s new show, “Beauty and the Beast.” Can you tell me a bit about the show?

AB: Well, the show is a reimagining of the classic fairytale with some roots in the original CBS series from the ‘80s, but it’s now set in post-9/11 New York with Catherine, a police detective, and Vincent, who turned into a beast. It’s a dark supernatural romance, but we’ve got a procedural twist. Every episode Catherine tries to solve a new murder mystery. It’s

really got everything you need for TV: mysteries, secrets from the past and romance. It takes a couple episodes for a show to find its path. And now that we’ve filmed about five, it’s really in its own element.

TMH: Could you describe your role in the show for me?

AB: J.T. is Vincent’s childhood best friend. He’s a biochemistry researcher turned professor, and he’s pretty nerdy when it comes to science, but a great friend. Together they’re working on an antidote for him, to get him human again.

TMH: You were diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at a very young age and that’s become a huge cause for you. Tell me more about your activism.

AB: I always find it kind of weird fundraising for my own cause, but I’m really looking forward to using my influence to provide an example of someone who has had diabetes for over 25 years and hasn’t let it adversely affect their life.

It has actually helped me focus and become a better person, and a better actor. I ultimately want to find an organization that will help me give an example to kids going through the same thing I was.

MUSIC REVIEW

Brother Ali speaks the truth, impacts all who listen

BY HUNTER WRIGHT CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

The blue, luminescent glow of the Culture Room illuminates every shade of skin as the underground hiphop fans of Florida anxiously wait for Brother Ali to take the stage.

Homeboy Sandman, DJ Sosa and The Reminders have joined the Minneapolis-based rapper on his “Mourning in America, Dreaming in Color” tour, adrenalizing the crowd with rhymes that strike like bullets, hitting home and settling deep into the flesh of free and conscious thought.

They cut the energy-charged air with their musically guided hands, delivering the word, shooting down their demons with messages of selfrespect, resilience and doing what you’re meant to do, no matter the obstacles.

The audience is pumped; everyone’s movements pulsing the air as they feel the hysteria. Finally, Brother Ali glides onto the stage.

The mindful rapper, whose music is comparable to that of Atmosphere and Eyedea & Abilities, offers sincere reflections on life, death, politics and the social world.

“Mourning in America, Dreaming in Color” is Brother Ali’s most political album yet, as he shines through clearer and sharper than ever before.

The cover of the album is an image of him kneeling and praying on top of an American flag laid out on the ground.

When asked why he would do such a thing, he responds, “I didn’t put the flag on the ground – I found it there and I prayed for it.”

With lyrics like “When innocent people perish / It’s a very thin line between a soldier and a terrorist,” lis-

teners immediately recognize that the phenomenal rapper is truly at ease in his element.

Nothing can stop him, and his live performance is absolutely flawless.

The second the bass drops, the conscious hip-hopper shoots lines of lyrical genius from his lips with calm yet passionate composure.

Every punch of clever wording rides on the waves of excellent instrumentals, ranging from brass wind instruments to a red electric guitar.

Opening with “Stop the Press,” Brother Ali cleverly summarizes the events that took place during his twoyear break from touring.

After the sudden deaths of both his father and his good friend Michael “Eyedea” Larsen, the artist faced inner turmoil that could only be mended by a journey of spiritual reflection.

He boarded a plane to Mecca, where

he was able to look deep within himself and his faith, turning inward to find peace amid the chaos.

This period of self-examination gave rise to a triumphant loss of selfdoubt, allowing Brother Ali to write his every emotion and every thought without restraint.

The song “Tight Rope” from the album “US” begins to play; the first verse staying true to its original recording, the second verse set to the beat of “Victory! (Come Forward)” from “Shadows on the Sun,” and the third verse rapped over Dr. Dre’s “Still Dre.” The room is bouncing, spinning, electrified. You stare up at Brother Ali, just feet away from this down-toearth big guy, and swear that through his lightly squinted eyes shaded by white eyelashes, he’s staring back, directly at you, despite the fact that he’s legally blind.

He’s speaking to you, as though he sees something in you that others can’t.

Everyone’s hands and bodies have become lyrical. All eyes focus in on what they couldn’t see before, sharing one unique vision.

When the show ends, every voice shouts “Encore!” and Brother Ali comes back onstage to perform “Truth Is.” At the end of the show, Brother Ali talks to each of the fans individually. He’s laidback and unrushed, genuinely flattered by each compliment and touched by the personal stories.

As the fans exit the gates, heading back to their cars, stronger now, one bit of advice from Brother Ali resonates and lingers in every mind: “If something doesn’t work out, don’t let it be because you didn’t do everything you could to make it happen.”

Canes beat Duke, Wake Forest to extend home streak to 12 N.C. State, UNC in town this weekend

BY GABRIEL IBRAHIM CONTRIBUTING SPORTS WRITER

After splitting last weekend’s two-game ACC set, Miami looked to bounce back against two other ACC opponents in Coral Gables this weekend.

They did exactly that, beating Duke and Wake Forest at the Knight Sports Complex.

On Sunday, the Canes took on Wake Forest. Miami fell behind early in the first set 4-1, but then found its groove.

The Canes finished the first set on a 14-4 run to and won 25-11. Miami expanded its lead with a 6-1 run to start the second set. They killed every potential run that Wake Forest mounted, never letting the Deacons within three points of the lead. After winning the second set 25-17, Miami pulled ahead in the third to cruise to a 25-15 victory.

“Our focus this week in practice was great and we had a sense of needing to accomplish something,” coach Nicole Lantangne Welch said. “Our preparation was very good this week to get these two wins.”

On Friday, Miami pulled out an up-and-down match against Duke that featured 25 ties and 10 lead changes. The Canes won the first set 25-18, but dropped the next one 25-19.

A thrilling third set proved to be the difference for the Canes. After taking a 2320 lead, Miami gave up three straight points to the Blue Devils and went to extra points. Miami fended off three set points and rallied to win the set, 29-27.

They won the next set 25-21 to take the match in four sets.

“I thought it was a high-level volleyball match,” Lantangne Welch said. “Duke forced us to

raise our level of play with their great defense. We had to be patient and our middles played really well.”

The Canes are now 12-3 on the season and 4-1 in ACC play.

“This weekend was huge for us,” senior setter Nrithya Sundararaman said. “It was one of our biggest focuses to go 2-0 on this weekend and bounce back from Virginia Tech.”

Sophomore Emani Sims was the star of the weekend.

She had a career-high 18 kills on Friday against Duke and followed that by recording 14 kills against Wake.

“Emani is hard to stop when she is on,” Lantagne Welch said. “She was able to make herself available on both transition and serve-receive to be a force in the middle.”

Miami also extended its home winning streak to 12.

Dating back to last season, the Canes are 23-1 at home in their

last 24 matches.

“The energy of the crowd fuels us and we’re obviously more comfortable here,” Sundararaman said. “But we have to step up our road performances.”

Miami will take the court at the Knight Sports Complex again next weekend.

They take on N.C. State Friday at 7 p.m. and the Tar Heels of North Carolina on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Dorsett, Scott have breakout performances during Morris’ historic day FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1

Dorsett finished with seven receptions for 192 yards and two touchdowns. He did, however, concede that the final play wasn’t even designed for him.

“I just tried my best to catch the ball. Stephen threw an amazing pass,” he said. “It was probably one of the greatest plays of my life … I saw I was behind everyone so I had faith in Stephen that he was going to be able to throw the ball that far.”

The Wolfpack struck first in Saturday’s noon contest. A 43-yard run by N.C. state running back Tony Creecy set up a one-yard run up the middle for the score.

The Hurricanes fired back on the following possession. Morris connected with Rashawn Scott for a 52-yard pass on the first play of the drive to put Miami at the N.C. State 23. He later found Allen Hurns in the corner of the endzone for a 14-yard touchdown.

After a botched snap gave Miami an easy safety, the Canes

scored their second passing touchdown of the quarter on a 24-yard reception by Dorsett.

With a 16-7 lead, the crowd came alive.

On third down from their own 24 yard line, Morris connected with Scott for a 76-yard catch and run to make it 23 straight points in under five minutes of game time.

Miami had opportunities in the second quarter to blow the game open, coming up with two key fumble recoveries, including one by Brandon McGee at the 2 yard line. But after a breakout first quarter, the Canes could only come up with 51 total yards in the second.

The Miami defense drew six turnovers, including four forced fumbles, but had trouble converting those into scoring drives.

“There’s no question we have to capitalize better when we get those opportunities,” coach Al Golden said. “We’re not a perfect team. We’re not going to be a perfect team. If we can just get past that, and keep competing and

scratching and clawing and staying together, we’ll have a chance to continue to win.”

The Wolfpack would cut the lead back down to two in the third quarter after quarterback Mike Glennon found Bryan Underwood in the endzone for a four-yard touchdown pass to make it 23-21.

From there, it was a shootout.

Every time Miami extended its lead, N.C. State had the answer.

Canes placekicker Jake Wieclaw booted a 43-yard field goal wide left in the fourth quarter to end a forgettable 0-for-3 performance.

A 50-yard field goal by Wolfpack kicker Niklas Sade tied the game at 37-37 with 1:58 remaining in regulation. The 38,000 fans in attendance collectively held their breath.

Then, a collective sigh of relief when Morris’ magic put Miami on top for good.

The Canes now prepare for a highly-anticipated matchup against No. 10 Notre Dame next week at Soldier Field in Chicago. The last

time the two teams faced off, the Fighting Irish dominated the Hurricanes 33-17 in the 2009 Sun Bowl.

For Golden and his team, the goal is to enjoy the win and get back to work.

“For our guys, it has to be

business as usual,” he said. “I just want to see us improve, take care of business every day. This will be our fourth road game in six weeks. We have to get healed up and healthy, and get ready for a great team in Chicago.”

Dear V: I’m getting it in, but I’m not getting what I want...

Dear Bored in Bed, , I’ve been with my boyfriend for a little over a month now, and the sex isn’t bad. It’s just really boring. I want to try out new positions, and I’ll talk about them, but then when we sleep together, we always end up in the missionary position. How do I get him to agree to spice things up?

Sincerely, Tired of Missionary

Your man may just be nervous that he’ll mess up these new positons. Maybe he’s just not that experienced.

And even though inexperience is not very sexy, this makes him very trainable.

Instead of being vocal about what you want before sex, speak up during it. Until you’re on top of him and moaning about how you want it, he might not get the picture. Men are visual.

And if he still seems hesitant, take baby steps.

You can’t just approach a guy who’s used to this boring sex routine and suggest that you completely change everything. If he’s timid about it, randomly suggesting handcuffs might impair his ability to get hard altogether.

So start off by suggesting that instead of just laying there like a fish, you put your legs over his shoulders. It doesn’t seem like a huge change, but one day you’re doing that, and the next you’ll be in a Bloodhound Gang music video doing it doggy style so you can both watch X-Files.

dear ... ii Maybe he doesn’t want to change positions because what you’re doing feels good for him, and if that’s the case, I’m sorry you have a selfish lover. But you can change his mind by showing him that other positions can feel just as great – better, even! Get yourself a position of the day calendar and have at it. You’re bound to find something new you’ll both really enjoy.

If he’s still not experimenting with new positions, though, it might be time to talk. Relationships aren’t all about sex, but a disappointing sex life will eventually start affecting you both. If you’re not wholly satisfied, why would you draw things out for no reason? There are plenty of guys out there who are adventurous between the sheets, and if it’s an exciting sex life you seek, you might be better off with one of them.

Do what you gotta do to get that O, V
