Think Pink Week promotes breast cancer awareness Zeta Tau Alpha hosts cancer survivors, ‘pinks out’ campus BY JACKIE YANG CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Members of Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA) gathered Tuesday on the Green to form a “human ribbon” in support of breast cancer awareness. The sisters, clad in pink T-shirts, joined hands with partners from the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the Miller School of Medicine and arranged themselves into the shape of the breast cancer awareness symbol for an aerial photo. The photo opportunity was a new addition to the Gamma Alpha Chapter’s annual Think Pink Week, a week-long program that raises awareness and funds for breast cancer treatment. All proceeds benefit the national Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation, which directly funds breast cancer research and education programs. This year, Laura Zebib, the chapter’s philanthropy chair of Think Pink Week, was able to expand the event’s reach with the help of the Sylvester Center. University of Miami employee and cancer survivor Lainey Kieffer brought Zebib into contact with partners at Sylvester, where Kieffer had been treated. “Sylvester came on board two months ago, and as soon as we both began talking about everything that we could do, it was immediately obvious how much bigger this event could be,” Zebib said. “Originally, we were never going to do the human ribbon, and now we get to do this beautiful photo. Sylvester has also gotten a lot of support for people to come to these events; they’ve been fantastic.” On Tuesday, the sisters held a Survivor Celebration that included the human ribbon photo and a “pinked out” cancer awareness fair by the Lakeside Patio. Zeta Tau Alpha has partnered up with professional athletic teams for this event, including the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Heat. The Heat loaned out their 2012 NBA Finals championship trophy to display at the Survivor Celebration and is donating half

of the proceeds from ZTA ticket sales to their Oct. 21 game against the Houston Rockets. “Because Zeta wants everything to go towards breast cancer research and education, we don’t front any money for any of these Think Pink Week events,” Zebib said. “Everything is done through donations.” ZTA invited Kieffer and fellow survivor Paula Holland De Long to speak to the UM community on Tuesday evening about their experiences with breast cancer. Kieffer was diagnosed early at age 28, just days after she celebrated her bridal shower, and her life was turned upside down. She underwent a double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery and months of chemotherapy and radiation. Fortunately, she had plenty of support through her journey and is now cancer-free. Kieffer’s goal today is to help young people realize that breast cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age, and to encourage regular self-checks. “The more people that hear my story know that breast cancer can affect young women,” said Kieffer, who is now pursuing a doctorate in nursing. “Every young woman should be doing breast self-exams. I found my lump twelve years before I would have been scheduled for a mammogram.” According to Zebib, five percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 25, before they are taught to be on the lookout for breast cancer. As part of Think Pink Week, Sylvester Cancer Center offered breast health and self-examination classes on Wednesday afternoon in the Student Activities Center Executive Council Room. “Something we’re really pushing this year is getting girls who are college-aged to develop healthy habits of breast self-exams,” Zebib said. Sophomore ZTA sister Taylor Hughes agreed. “It’s really important to spread awareness of not only the disease itself but also the importance of early detection,” Hughes said.

Theater catalog captures Holocaust history for future Database aims to preserve plays for younger generations BY SHERMAN HEWITT COPY CHIEF

Actors in theater embody intangible ideas, like love or death, and make them feel inexplicably real or even personal. Such is how Holocaust history will live on once the survivors are gone. An audience gathered Tuesday evening at the Cosford Cinema to witness the launch of the Holocaust Theater Catalog, an online database dedicated to collecting Holocaust-related theater works. It can be accessed by anyone at any time through the Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies’ website. The endeavor is the first of its kind. The realm of Holocaustrelated works and efforts lacked a theater-specific approach. “This project fills in a very important gap in the spectrum of materials about the Holocaust,” Miller Center Director Haim Shaked said. “Perhaps the most interesting and important attribute of the catalog is that it’s unique. There’s no such thing.” During the launch, Shaked gave introductory remarks that were followed by a screening of the play “The Soap Myth,” written by playwright Jeff Cohen and directed by Arnold Mittelman. The play questions who has the right to write history – those who experience it, those who study it or those who seek to distort it. According to Shaked, the catalog features plays from all over the world. It includes information about a play’s author, who performed it, who currently holds the rights and more. The plays themselves are not on the website, but users can contact whoever holds the play’s rights for further information on acquiring the plays. Currently, most featured plays are in English or Hebrew, but plans for expansion are in the works.

“We plan at a later stage to add materials in all other relevant languages, whether it’s Polish, Russian, German, Hungarian. You name it,” Shaked said. As the curtains pulled back from the cinema screen, Mittelman, founder and director of the National Jewish Theater Foundation, also took the stage to introduce the product of a four-year effort by him and the Holocaust Theater International Initiative. He walked the audience through the website’s collection of plays and reference material. “[The catalog] goes back to 1933 just before the war, including, miraculously, work that was done in the camps and in the ghettos in defiance of the Nazis,” Mittelman said. “This is, to my mind, the most complete collection of reference books that have been discovered that are focused on one subject: Holocaustrelated theater.” With more than 30 years of theatrical achievement under his belt, Mittelman believes that performances, rather than just lectures, help students better understand the gravity of the Holocaust and the lives of everyone involved. He hopes the catalog encourages others to produce the listed plays and further the Holocaust’s remembrance. “‘The Soap Myth’ was a way to bring the catalog to life,” Mittelman said. “We need to teach the Holocaust through these techniques because they speak to this generation. We’re counting on younger generations to carry on these stories.” Mittelman sometimes teaches a Holocaust-related theater class at the University of Miami. His classes included students from every collegiate year and cultural background. Yet, according to Mittelman, each student found a way to tie the Holocaust’s events to the struggles of their own heritage. Senior Sam Lubman said the event was enlightening.

Alumnus to lead Homecoming Parade

Pizzeria’s future uncertain

Former quarterback returns to campus

Miami’s Best stays until December

BY SOPHIE BARROS STAFF WRITER

The UM Alumni Association has appointed former Hurricanes football star Jim Kelly as Grand Marshal for the Alumni Weekend and Homecoming Parade, at 7 p.m. on Oct. 31 in Walsh Ave and Merrick and Stanford Drive. The Grand Marshal is responsible for leading the Homecoming Parade, together with President Shalala, Sebastian the Ibis, the Band of the Hour and the Hurricane Cheerleaders. “The University of Miami has a rich tradition of accomplished and distinguished alumni and we are excited to have Mr. Kelly and his family back on campus,” said Cynthia Cochran, director of Alumni Programs.

Kelly was the Hurricanes’ quarterback from 1979 to 1983 and made the UM Sports Hall of Fame in 1992 after KELLY paving the way to make Miami the highest- ranked NCAA Division I-A team in 1983. He was the first to adopt the nickname “Quarterback U” and, during his professional career, he earned a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002 for leading the Buffalo Bills to four consecutive Super Bowls, among other accomplishments. “I’ve been a Canes fan my entire life, so I heard about Jim Kelly when I was a kid,” said Roly Calderin, this year’s homecoming chair. “And the strength and perseverance he’s had to

show the past year is very admirable. He’s a great pick.” Kelly has recently won his oneyear battle against cancer, after being diagnosed with the disease in June of last year. He also established a non-profit foundation called Hunter’s Hope after his son, Hunter James Kelly, passed away at the age of eight due to Krabbe disease. His foundation then developed into the Hunter James Kelly Research Institute at the University of Buffalo. “It’s a powerful statement for the university to bring back someone who’s been so beneficial both while he was here and afterwards,” said O’Shane Elliot, member of the Homecoming King and Queen Committee. Kelly was also chosen as the Honorary Captain for the Homecoming football game against North Carolina. He will receive recognition for his achievements on the field before kickoff on Nov. 1.

Miami’s Best Pizza co-owner Raymond Papich confirmed that the restaurant may remain open until December. The local pizzeria originally announced that it will close in November when its landlord, Sager Management Corp., requested a higher rent. Former University of Miami football player Big Al Papich founded the local pizzeria in 1970. Today, it is co-owned by Papich’s son, Raymond Papich, and Charles Butler. “Probably until the end of 2014. There will be a period where we will have to go dark, because

even if we find another place, we will have to wait until it gets ready,” co-owner Papich said. Miami’s Best was originally the first Little Caesar’s in the southeastern United States. After a 20year franchise contract, the owner broke away from the large chain to create an independent business. Papich said that local businesses are at the mercy of their landlords unless they own the property. The owners are scouting for properties on U.S. 1, as they want to be close to current customers. Sager Management Corp. was unavailable for comment. “Even if we were to end on this note, we would say it was a success. It’s definitely bittersweet, but change is inevitable,” Papich said. Miami’s Best is located at 1514 S. Dixie Hwy, Coral Gables, Fla.

Professor’s board game explains child immigration system ‘Make a Move’ lets youth explore options BY EMILY DABAU ASSISTANT EDITOR

Lien Tran, a professor of interactive media in the School of Communication, created a board game to help young, unaccompanied immigrants navigate their arrival to shelters in the United States. The board game “Toma El Paso”, or “Make a Move,” has been used in shelters like His House Children’s Home in Miami Gardens as an interactive way to educate youth on their legal rights and the options available to them to leave the shelter. “For the youth, I want them to feel empowered at least by the knowledge of understanding this new and strange shelter release process,” Tran said. The board game, available in both English and Spanish, depicts a shelter and is set up as one. To play, players roll the dice

to then have the option to move in any direction. They first meet with the case manager, the facilitator of the game, and then decide on one of three routes to take to move through the game. Along the way, they reach a lawyer and different cards with information. The goal of the game is to leave the shelter first. “It’s intentionally kind of ambiguous and complicated because it’s intended to simulate the actual experience of living in a shelter,” said Lauren Gutman, a project coordinator for the Immigrant Children Affirmative Network (ICAN). Gutman has played the game with youth during monthly shelter visits she takes with ICAN, a program through the School of Education that is part of a partnership working to help unaccompanied immigrant minors in Miami. It holds workshops during immigrant shelter visits after which the youth get to play the game. “Our end goal is that they’ll learn a little bit more about the system,” Gutman said.

“That means learning more about their legal options, about their rights and their goals, to help them orient themselves towards a path.” Real-life shelters like His House provide a home and care to unaccompanied children from around the world. Young immigrants stay in such shelters while they seek approval to leave the shelter through an exit option. The court rulings take approximately two to three weeks. According to its website, the His House International program has housed and served more than 3,000 children from Central America and other parts of the world as part of its program. According to Gutman, youth in the shelters generally have three options. They can choose to go home through voluntary deportation; they can choose foster care if they wish to stay in the country but don’t have a family member in the U.S.; or they can choose re-unification if they have a family member in the U.S. that they can live with. When they first arrive at the shelter, the immigrants tend to get overwhelmed with

the rights and information they have, Gutman said. That’s why she believes the board game helps them absorb all the information in an interactive way. “What’s nice about the game is that it allows them to engage with the information that they may or may not have been exposed to, and learn it in a way that is a little bit more relevant for them,” she said. Tran hopes the game will serve as a training tool to the shelter staff and as an awareness tool to the community on what the process is like for the young, undocumented, unaccompanied immigrants. For the children, her goal is that it will not only be helpful, but also serve as a conversation starter. “‘Toma el Paso’ isn’t your typical ‘let’s play for fun’ children’s game,” she said. “Making an informative game that people want to play again is super satisfying. And it’s a conversation starter – by playing the game they are more willing to discuss their status or thoughts on the shelter release process.”

COUNSELING CENTER CARES: For the fourth year, the UM Counseling Center hosted a display of The Clothesline Project on the Green Wednesday. Shirts of varying colors hung on clotheslines along the pathway next to the Ferre Building. The national project aims to raise awareness for domestic violence and sexual abuse directed toward women. Thirtyone shirts made up the original display in 1990. An estimated 60,000 shirts are now displayed over hundreds of projects. The shirts allow a canvas for survivor stories and messages of empowerment, and students had the opportunity to create shirts to share their sentiments. The colors of the shirts symbolize the type of violence being expressed, and the clotheslines represent where women used to share stories when they were primarily responsible for washing clothes. UMPD also had a presence at the event, offering tips on how students can remain safe.

Tour highlights campus architecture Professor shines light on buildings BY NADIJAH CAMPBELL SENIOR NEWS WRITER

Carie Penabad, a professor in the School of Architecture, will lead a tour of the campus’ oldest buildings Friday afternoon. The walking tour will start at Stanford Residential College and loop around to the oldest buildings on campus, including Merrick and the original wooden administration building located near the Knight Physics Building and the arboretum. Each stop on the tour will feature a brief history of the building, its creator and its previous purposes. “It’s an interesting way to learn a little bit about where you’re going to school,” Penabad said. “Most people arrive and they don’t really know much about the campus.” Penabad is familiar with the history of UM’s buildings. In 2010, she published a book titled “Marion Manley: Miami’s First Woman Architect,” which offers the entire history of UM from an architect’s perspective. The book focuses on Marion Manley who, in addition to being the first female architect in Miami, played a major role in the university’s rebuilding after a hurricane destroyed the school in 1926. This hurricane, known as the Great Miami Hurricane, hit just one year after the school first opened. Afterward, students were forced to study at a makeshift campus in downtown Coral Gables. This hurricane is where UM’s “Hurricane” name and ibis mascot originated. Penabad said the book, similar to the walking tour, was a surprise to her. “I stumbled upon it to be perfectly frank,” Penabad said. “Our former dean, Dean Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, asked if I would document those historic buildings on the other side of campus as part of the historic American Building Survey.” According to Penabad, once she started the research, what was orig-

inally supposed to be something small turned into something much larger. “I discovered this woman who I knew virtually PENABAD nothing about had built over 100 buildings in Miami and she and Robert Law Reed were responsible for designing the master plan,” Penabad said. Penabad said that she hopes the tour will help to educate students on other parts of campus they may have never seen, as well as help bridge the gap between students who may not live near each other but still share lots of commonalities. Junior Erron Estrado, Penabad’s former student, agrees that the history of UM’s buildings would be interesting to students if taught the right way. He said that Penabad’s hands-on approach would be helpful. “If you physically go see the buildings and you have someone who is knowledgeable about them, then it’s a much better experience as opposed to reading about it in a book,” Estrado said. Penabad will also offer a class for architecture students who want to have a role in the future of UM’s buildings. This upper-level class will allow students to make proposals for the preservation of certain buildings as well as possible additions.

“I was in one class where we got to write a couple of articles online. It made it a lot more interesting to write. It makes class more fun, depending on how the teacher conducts it.”

OLIVIA SANCHEZ SENIOR

“It depends on the type. If it’s an interface that’s easy for people [to use], I wouldn’t mind it. But if it’s an interface that students would have to learn, I wouldn’t really agree with that.”

“I’ve had professors before who had unconventional teaching styles. My favorite one was probably blog posts about a biology topic. That was cool.”

STAFF EDITORIAL

Keep alternative learning in mind Professor Lien Tran’s new board game, Make a Move, helps young immigrants learn about the legal process in an interactive way. Meanwhile, UM students learn, for the most part, by holing up in the library and flipping through pages after pages of textbooks. This experience reflects the style of learning typically associated with universities. After exiting the K-12 educational system, we enter a new stage of maturity. We swap composition books and colored pencils for towers of typewritten papers and weighty academic volumes. However, the occasional deviation from typical assignments also helps transmit information without necessarily sacrificing the standards of higher education. The incorporation of social media, for example, can help close the gap between abstract ideas and a student’s daily expe-

rience. Professors may consider accepting, for example, a series of Tumblr blog posts in lieu of an essay. A professor can also try to expose students to current issues relevant to the subject matter. News videos and short reports provide temporary relief from the burden of reading dense scholarly material. Any sort of assignment that highlights a connection between an abstract topic and the visible day-to-day world helps that topic stick. Of course, an institution of higher learning must hold itself to certain educational standards. Reading scholarly articles and writing analytical papers may feel burdensome at times, but these practices transmit complex information and hone distinct skills. As college students, we must rise to these challenges, not seek ways to escape them.

But we should not diminish the power of unusual or creative assignments. They are not evasions of a student’s duties; they allow students to fulfill them in compelling ways. If you have an idea for a creative assignment, share it with your professors; they may choose to implement it in their lesson plans. Your professors have chosen to dedicate themselves to higher education, and while they may ultimately decide not to adopt the suggestion, they will most likely give due consideration to how it may advance their course goals. While most of us will be happy to stow those science fair boards from middle school, we don’t have to consign every socalled alternative assignment to our childhood closets.

FSU presidential search too political

SPEAK UP ANSWERS ARE EDITED FOR CLARITY, BREVITY AND ACCURACY. COMPILED BY SHERMAN HEWITT

t’s always fun to compare University of Miami to one of our rivals, Florida State University. Our school has more resources, higher academic standards and is situated in a better city. Heck, even our muchmaligned football team has more rings. PATRICK QUINLAN But there’s one particular STAFF comparison that poses as a warnCOLUMNIST ing to our university. Last year, FSU President Eric Barron, Ph.D. ’80, decided to take his talents to Happy Valley as president of Pennsylvania State University. FSU found itself, not unlike UM, looking for someone to replace a president with a sterling academic and administrative background.

Instead, they found politician-turned-lobbyistturned-politician state Senator John Thrasher. Senator Thrasher, the former head of the Republican Party of Florida and chair of Governor Scott’s re-election campaign, was named president of FSU two weeks ago and will be installed in November. Fred Grimm at the Miami Herald detailed the wranglings of political influence that made the search for a new president an all but inevitable choice for Thrasher. His column is an illuminating read on the corrupting influence of politics in Florida academia, none of which is particularly new or surprising. Even John Funk, consultant to the FSU search committee, said over the summer that consideration of any candidate besides Thrasher would be a “sham.” As part of a private university, UM’s Board of Trustees hopefully isn’t as influenced by electoral politics as that of FSU. But we would still do well to avoid FSU’s other mistakes in our own search.

UM should seek well-rounded successor First, the new president will absolutely need academic experience. Ignore Senator Thrasher’s extreme views; he led the 2010 bill against teachers’ unions that the National Education Association called the “worst bill in the US.” After all, President Donna E. Shalala famously held a cabinet position before coming to UM during which she tried to push through health care reform. She also holds a doctorate in public policy and served as an academic at Columbia University and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. She had administrative experience as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin. Her curriculum vitae stands head and shoulders above that of Thrasher, and hopefully our next president’s will, too. The new president must meet the administrative needs of the school. Thrasher’s main credentials for the job are that he excels at raising funds for campaigns and can lobby the tightfisted Florida legislature. Likewise, Shalala led the billion-dollar Momentum campaigns. Our endowment has seen healthy returns in recent years. The president also navigates one of the largest medical systems in Florida,

That our students, or at least student government, and Faculty Senate should register opinion on the new president goes without saying. Patrick Quinlan, Staff Columnist top environmental science labs, and terrific programs in music, international business, architecture and more. Maybe the new president could focus on under-resourced areas such as the graduate schools, social sciences and the humanities. If our academic goal is to meet the standards of the elite Association of American Universities, we must aim for excellence in all fields, not just in biological sciences. To truly

understand the goal of the university, the presidency requires a Ph.D. Most importantly, the new president must gain the legitimate consent of the campus. Because of his lack of experience and policy stances, Thrasher was opposed by practically everyone at FSU except for the board. Alas, the voices of protesting students and the Faculty Senate unanimously decrying Thrasher were no match for his potential fundraising prowess. That our students, or at least student government, and Faculty Senate should register opinion on the new president goes without saying. Moreover, recall that the tenure of Shalala featured a 2006 labor strike. My faint hope is that the voice of the entire campus, including the labor division, is taken into account. I don’t know who’s on the shortlist for president. Nor do I know what factors are being considered. But FSU President John Thrasher shows us everything we should avoid. Patrick Quinlan is a junior majoring in international studies and political science.

The city is home to many great theme parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld. While Universal offers dozens

of thrill rides, Disney and SeaWorld are both guilty pleasures for the kid in you.

When you told your friends and family you’d be attending college in Miami, everyone assumed you’d be spending all of your time at the beach. The truth is, you’ve been spending most of your time at Richter and the Grove, and you’ve only hit up the nearest beaches on Key Biscayne once or twice, but it’s never too late to treat yourself to the best beach Miami has to offer. South Beach may be known for

its nightlife, but it’s an area worth exploring during daylight hours, too. South Pointe offers you more than sand and sea; the brand new South Pointe Pier provides a great view of the cruise ships leaving port. Plus, you can climb the rocks at the jetty, run up and down the grassy hills or rent a DecoBike. South Pointe Park is located at 1 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, Fla. 33139.

Miami leads series against Cincinnati

FOOTBALL

Fans fed up with inconsistent performance Team not reaching full potential BY NEIL DWYER STAFF SPORTS WRITER

Right now, South Florida weather is just beginning to cool off. The humidity has died down, but what hasn’t died down is the looming cloud over Canes football. From 2011-2013, that cloud was the Nevin Shapiro booster scandal, which led the Hurricanes to self-impose bowl bans for the first two seasons of the Al Golden era. Last season, though, alumni and students started to remember Miami’s glory days as the Canes went 7-0 heading into the Florida State game. After that, Duke Johnson broke his ankle and the season continued to implode from there, ending in a blowout Russell Athletic Bowl loss against Louisville. Fast forward to Saturday morning, hours before the Canes took on 4-0 Georgia Tech. There was a faint feeling of confidence in the air. Miami had come off a rainy and defensive win over 4-0 Duke, and fans saw a glimpse of what the much-maligned defense was truly made of: razor-sharp focus and hard-hitting stops on third down. Then the Canes simply couldn’t make those same stops against a one-dimensional tripleoption offense. Although that’s a tricky offense to stop with last-second pitches and quickly changing routes, it’s still mostly the act of running the ball. After a 28-17 loss, the Canes slid down

MATTHEW TRABOLD // CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER STRETCHED OUT : The Canes prepare Tuesday for a Family Weekend home game Saturday against the Cincinnati Bearcats. Miami won the last meeting 38-12 at home in 1998. After Cincinnati, the Canes take on ACC rivals Virginia Tech, North Carolina and Florida State.

to a 3-3 record halfway through the season, and many fans took to social media to spread their disgust. Phillip Buchanon, a 10-year NFL cornerback and 2001 National Champion who retired in 2011, tweeted the day after the loss about his issues with Golden’s contract extension. “Golden knows what he is doing because he wants to get fired,” he wrote. “He has guarantee (sic) money in the contract.” Many of Buchanon’s followers have retweeted what they felt are insightful and hardhitting truths about the team’s mediocrity.

It’s not just fans and alumni who have gotten tired of the broken record. Analysts and beat writers are also getting fed up, including the Miami Herald’s Manny Navarro, who posted on his Facebook page that he spoke to an NFL scout who said the Canes were underperforming. “Also was told Canes have the second best NFL-caliber talent in the ACC behind the Seminoles. I asked ‘even Clemson?’ He said yes, in his opinion. Chew on that.” Buchanon also tweeted a message from Navarro that basically said it’s been the same story

for the past nine years that he’s covered the team. “I’m bored at this point. And as I said last night, nobody running the show at UM really cares. They got past the NCAA mess, extended Golden through 2019, and are content with 6-6, 7-5, 8-4 or 9-3.” It’s been a Jekyll and Hyde team the entire season. At one game the Canes look sharp and strong, and at the next they look porous. At least they’ll go into Saturday’s home game with the odds on their side. Cincinnati is 2-2 after losing their first week against Stony Brook. Cincinnati quarterback

Gunner Kiel suffered a rib injury last week and will probably be out according to head coach Tommy Tuberville. “I don’t see him playing,” Tuberville said. “He’s not much better than he was.

V,

I was on my boyfriend’s laptop while he was in the shower – although I won’t say why he had to shower – and when I started typing in websites, all these porn sites came up. I’m not the jealous type, but for some reason it really bothers me that he watches that garbage. But, like, are girls even allowed to get mad at their boyfriends for watching porn?

DEAR V

Sincerely, Pornographic Paige

To watch or not to watch, that is the question

Dear Paige, Good question. Mothers of pornstars around the planet are pondering the same predicament in reference to their husbands. The problem with venturing down this road is that all men watch porn. So what you’re basically asking is, “Should I convert to lesbianism?” Well, first of all, you can’t just magically switch sexual orientations, and second of all, of course you have a right to be mad. But that doesn’t mean you should be. I mean, let’s break down porn for a second. If your boyfriend watches porn, that means he has an affinity for tramp stamps, atrocious acting and daddy issues. And who wants a big slice of that? Given, that fits the description of every Kardashian program, but at least those have commercial breaks. So don’t be mad. Address the situation; tell him you don’t like it – but that you’re going to work on it. And even if he’s not keen on listening at first, letting your boyfriend watch porn has its advantages. First, it makes you an awesome girlfriend. Boys our age spent their teen years concealing their kickstands, secretly staying up late to watch Cinemax and periodically deleting their browser so the parents wouldn’t know what they were into, or not into. All of a sudden, if the next person that runs into their life says, “Hey, you do you,” she’ll look like Mother Theresa. This will

absolutely portend diamonds, fondue dates and an occasional night when he remembers to shave. Second, it keeps him from thinking about girls he actually knows. Let’s face it, everyone is the jealous type. And we are all the territorial apes raging in Mean Girls – sorry I didn’t post this on October 3. If his late night sexual fantasies are preoccupied with online videos of Moaning Myrtle the Squirtle – did I just ruin your childhood? – he’ll never have time to think about that rich blonde from California in his business administration class. Porn is a drain for men’s constant sexual desire – so let it just be comprised of you and females he’ll never meet. In fact, porn will make him want you more. Men always feel shameful after they watch it. They can’t believe they just watched two midgets and a donkey dressed as Aubrey Plaza go at it. What would their grandmas think? That’s when they’ll think: “Wow, why am I watching this fake stuff when I have a beautiful lady-friend I could purchase a Pandora bracelet for?” That might be giving men too much credit, but at least they’ll know you’re supportive of their weirdness. And remember, there is always the possibility of having something worse to get mad at. Like the threat of chlamydia. V
