When Hurricanes Football Coach Al Golden began his career at the University of Miami in 2010, fans boasted about the beginning of the “Golden Era.” Five years later, fans hoping for a national championship – the last of which was in 2001 – have taken to Twitter to express their discontent, fueled by the hashtag “FireAlGolden.” Despite fans calling for his removal, Golden’s contract extends through the end of the 2019 season.

While Golden had a strong start at the beginning of the 2013 season, he ended 2014 on a less-than-stellar note at 6-7, which included a bowl loss.

GREEK LIFE

Sorority recruitment numbers continue to rise Most participants receive house bid

BY JACKIE YANG SENIOR NEWS WRITER

Before spring semester began, hundreds of students arrived on campus a week early to participate in the Panhellenic Association’s spring recruitment week.

Also known as rush, recruitment gives women the opportunity to learn more about the University of Miami’s eight National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sorority chapters and to join the Greek community.

Over the past four years, there has been a steady rise in the number of participants in recruitment. In 2011, there were roughly 400 women signed up for recruitment. In spring of 2014, there were 606.

As a result, the new member quotas set by the Panhellenic Association for each chapter have risen to accommodate the growing number.

This year, the new member cap was 59 women for each chapter.

However, not all of the participants in recruitment end up finding their place in Greek life.

Numbers from 2015 recruitment appear striking at first glance: Out of roughly 670 registered re-

cruitment participants, only around 470 bids, or invitations to join a chapter, were extended.

While these numbers may suggest exclusivity or competitiveness to those outside the Greek community, Vice President of Recruitment Jacqueline Rossman-Reich, a fifth-year senior and sister of Kappa Kappa Gamma, says that many factors account for the large discrepancy.

“It seems like a huge drop, but in reality a lot of those are voluntary withdrawals,” RossmanReich said. “We started the week itself with only about 640 participants. [Then] some women did not want to complete recruitment for a variety of reasons …We have a lot of situations where girls just found during the week that Greek life was not for them. So a huge chunk comes from that.”

She also cited scheduling conflicts and personal commitments, particularly with athletic activities, as reasons for withdrawal.

According to Rossman-Reich, at the end of the week, there were “very few” women, out of those who completed recruitment, who did not receive a bid. She did not disclose the exact number.

The Panhellenic Association’s formal recruitment period took place from Jan. 7 to 11, before the first week of classes. Potential new members (PNMs) went through a series of social events, or “parties,” designed to help them learn about each sorority chapter, as well as help each chapter get to know the PNMs. “Rush week was intense,” said freshman Olivia Sacks, who pledged Sigma Delta Tau. “I didn’t realize the amount of hours that would be spent talking to complete strangers, and in the end of the day, I often had a sore throat and raspy voice. However, when I found a sorority I could easily talk to and felt comfortable with, these short conversations were enjoyable and I even made friends.”

ACADEMICS

Art class creates for a cause Professor’s initiative engages community

BY ZISHI WU CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Billie Grace Lynn, an associate professor in the University of Miami Department of Art and Art History, wants to make the world a better place through art. She is inspired by socially engaged art projects like Project Row Houses, in which a team of artists and volunteers restored derelict houses for low-income AfricanAmerican families in the Third Ward area of Houston, Texas.

“Through my research, I discovered some amazing projects that artists are doing in communities all over the world,” Lynn said. “I decided I wanted to be a part of that.”

In order to realize her dream, Lynn created Socially Engaged Art, a class where students use art to help local communities. She got her idea approved by the Office of Community Engagement in 2013, and the first section of Socially Engaged Art was offered in spring 2014.

NEWS

Last spring, 12 students led by Lynn welded steel bars into bike racks for children in OpaLocka, Fla. According to Victoria Diaz, a senior majoring in fine arts with a concentration in painting, the class visited a community center in Opa-Locka last Thursday, where they worked on art projects with children from nearby elementary schools.

As soon as they arrived, Diaz and her classmates began making kites with the children and asked them to draw designs for bike racks.

“After the children submitted their designs, our class had to get together and synthesize about 200 drawings into six designs,” Diaz said. The class then built models of those designs and asked the children to vote on their three favorite models.

Diaz and her classmates spent the last three weeks of the class building the three bike racks that the children selected. Though the class did not have much experience in welding, they managed to finish a few days before finals ended.

“When we started, no one in the class knew how to work with metal,” Diaz said.

“By the end, we made professional-grade bike racks.”

This year, Lynn and her students will partner with the Gibson-Bethel Community Center in South Miami to aid children in their afterschool program and senior citizens who live in the area.

They will also work with Alex’s Place, a treatment center for children with cancer and blood diseases in the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at UM’s Miller School of Medicine.

Senior Natasha Mijares, double majoring in creative writing and art, has enrolled in the class. She is excited about helping local communities through art.

“I chose this course because I was inspired by the students in the previous year’s class,” Mijares said. “Right now we are reading and discussing the idea of socially engaged art to discover the possibilities that are available to us.”

NATIONAL NEWS

Changing Cuban-American climate may affect classes Graduate curriculum sees potential change

BY SOPHIE BARROS STAFF NEWS WRITER

The Cuban embargo has persisted since its creation in 1960, when the United States imposed restrictions on trade and general diplomatic relations with Cuba. After nearly half a century, President Obama announced plans to loosen these restrictions after the release of American prisoner Alan Gross in December of 2014.

While the lifting of the Cuban embargo has not yet been discussed or approved by Congress, improved relations between the U.S. and Cuba could impact students and faculty members focused on Latin American and Caribbean studies at UM. “Depending on the terms of the arrangement, scholars, artists and other figures from Cuba would be able to come to Miami and get paid to give lectures, take part in conferences, exhibitions, etc.,” said George Yúdice, professor of Latin American Studies (LAS). “Students and faculty from UM would be able to travel much easier to conduct research in Cuba. It will also be easier to get access to Cuban materials, such as books, films, art and music.”

Additionally, the potential lift of the embargo could transform research at the graduate level.

“Cuba will not only become more accessible as an object of study, but also as an experience,” said Catalina Ramirez, a graduate student in the LAS department. “I imagine that through increasing contact and dialogue

in study abroad programs, research opportunities and scholarly exchanges with the island, our understanding as well as our approaches to teaching, thinking and writing about Cuba will expand and become more diverse.”

While it is too early to determine the effects of improved relations on tourism trade, Study Abroad Director Devika Milner explained that exchange programs with Cuba could potentially take a different route. While Study Abroad does not have a formal program with Cuba, students could contact the office to suggest a faculty-led program on the island.

“The normalizing of relations with Cuba is very strategic for American students who wish to study abroad in Cuba,” Milner said. “Even though students had been permitted to travel to Cuba for educational purposes over the years, the academic experience will likely be more enriching now that U.S.-Cuba relations are moving in a new, more open direction.”

The teaching of Cuban history is also an issue that comes into play. While the past cannot be changed, the new relations will need to be taken into account when discussing a timeline of the Cuban embargo or its effects.

“I don’t know if this will affect so much the types of courses being offered, but generally there will be an interest among faculty and students to know more about the history about Cuban-U.S. relations,” said Eduardo Elena, an associate professor in UM’s Department of History with expertise in Latin America. “There’s a possibility that people elsewhere in the world will turn to professors and students at UM and at Miami more broadly to know what’s going on.”

Melissa Hurtado, a sophomore in the Fellows in Latin American Studies Program (FI-

LAS), agreed that the discussion of Cuba in the classroom could be deepened.

“The classes that I’ve taken so far talk about Cuba, but it’s always through the same perspective: the perspective of the revolution,” Hurtado said. “It’s like Cuban history stops after the revolution, so a better relationship could mean that Americans are more open to knowing how Cuban society actually is.”

While some courses will have to adapt if changes come, others like the Cuban Studies Certificate Program, a degree offered twice a year by the Institute for Cuban and Cuban American Studies (ICCAS), will not necessarily change its line of study.

“As of now, Certificate Programs in ICCAS have always been focused on Cuba itself, and because they are very condensed eight-day programs, we don’t go into the island’s relations

VOLUNTEERS FOR TUNNEL OF OPPRESSION The annual Tunnel of Oppression needs volunteers to make the multi-sensory experience come to life.

Tunnel of Oppression is designed to put participants out of their comfort zone and expose them to the social injustices that exist in society today.

Participants will be guided through rooms highlighting different issues such as gender and body image, environmental and animal rights, education, human trafficking, religion, racism, LGBTQ issues, disabilities, sexual assault and domestic violence. Volunteers are needed to build decorations and act as tour guides

with other countries,” said Jennifer Hernandez, research assistant at ICCAS. “In the program, when we discuss scenarios for the future, we discuss Cuba on its own and what could happen with the composition of the government and its people.”

As well as impacting the world inside the classroom, the development in U.S.-Cuba relations could affect UM’s Cuban-American population. For example, contact with family members on the island could be made easier through potentially cheaper airplane tickets.

“We are hoping that if they open travel for American tourists, airfare prices will go down because right now round-trip tickets cost about $500, which is a lot, considering how close Miami is to Cuba,” said Hurtado, who has a Cuban-American background.

“My family in Cuba is really excited, but I also have family here who is more conservative and is a part of the exile movement, so they think this means that the U.S. is no longer pressuring Cuba to stop human rights violations,” she said.

Those opposed to the potential lifting of the embargo at this time also propose that the U.S. should not have diplomatic relations with a country that does not seem show progress towards democracy.

“I can’t speak for everyone else, but I, myself, feel skeptical about the latest policy changes,” said senior Nicole Marcos, who also has a Cuban-American background. “I doubt that the policy effects will lead to a more democratic Cuba because the Cuban government has set up a system where it is unable for democracy and freedom to be promoted. Money from tourism goes to the government and works towards perpetuating the oppressive Cuban regime.”

ADMINISTRATION

Office relocations aim to improve student traffic Moving to the UC makes resources more accessible

BY ALINA ZERPA ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

Over winter break, the second f loor of the Whitten University Center (UC), which formerly housed ballrooms and meeting spaces, received a makeover with new f loors and offices to bring six departments closer to students.

Students can now visit the offices of International Admissions, Financial Assistance, Market Research & Communications division of Enrollment Management, Student Employment and Dean of Students in the UC, instead of walking across the street toward the Pavia Garage.

Cane Success Center, a program dedicated to assisting students with their academics and ensuring their graduation, has also been relocated to the second f loor of the UC from the Student Services building.

Along with the changes in the UC, an portion of the second f loor of the bookstore will also house ad-

ministrative offices for student life, such as the Office of Commencement.

According to Brandon Gross, the assistant director of the Student Center Complex, transitioning these offices was a decision made with two goals in mind.

“We wanted to bring all of Enrollment Management, such as Financial Aid and International Admission, in one place,” Gross said. “We also wanted to bring the deans’ offices closer to build a second Pavia garage where the Student Services building now is.”

The addition of the offices has cut down on the number of meeting spaces that students can reserve.

Reservation requests average 25 per day. However, after 5 p.m., four additional conference rooms in the new offices are available for student use.

“We knew that some space had to be sacrificed,” Gross said. “The loss of the ballrooms will impact the students, but the SAC, meeting rooms [in the offices] and keeping the Storm Surge room will make up for it.”

Ricardo Hall, dean of students, said that the new office is “definitely an upgrade.”

“The space feels much brighter than the older building,” he said. Hall has recently moved into his new office on the UC’s second f loor.

“We had almost our own little world, and we weren’t attached to the rest of campus,” Hall said. “It didn’t make any sense to keep painting or continue using the window air conditioning ... We definitely made the most of the space, but it was time to leave.”

With the move, Hall anticipates there will be more student traffic in the new offices, especially for Greek life, Pier 21 and Honor Council.

“Being more accessible to students allows for events to be easier to attend to and be more visible by the Patio or on the Rock or on the Green,” Hall said.

Student employees have also been affected by this move for the better.

Freshman Gabrielle Hand is a student assistant for the Dean of Students Office. She loves the new space.

“I love the lighting and the color because it makes the space feel more natural and it makes for a better atmosphere,” Hand said.

Canes After Dark provides ‘magical’ late-night programming Themed activities spice up weekends

BY ALINA ZERPA ASSISTANT NEWS EDITOR

On the third Friday of every month, the Student Activities Center (SAC) becomes the home for Canes After Dark (CAD), a late-night programming event created by Canes Night Live to offer students an alternative to their otherwise routine weekend plans.

But for those in charge, the magic begins at the beginning of the academic year.

“My committee and I think of the themes and activities before school starts to begin marketing and contacting vendors,” said sophomore Robert Renfro, Canes Night Live chair.

“Once the first CAD ends, we already start planning the next one.”

Past CAD’s have included themes such as “Harry Potter,” “Blast to the Past: 90’s Night,” and a “Winter Wonderland.” During these nights, students get a chance to participate in activities related to the theme. Past activities have included tie-dye, a haunted house and mini golf.

This spring, students will get a chance to venture into “A Whole New World,” “Candy Land,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

To put this all together, Kathy Andrade was hired specifically to be the adviser for late night programming at the University of Miami.

GIANCARLO FALCONI // STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER FRIDAY NIGHT FORTUNES: Junior Matthew Penna has his fortune read during the “A Whole New World”-themed Canes After Dark held on the SAC patio Friday night.

“The first Canes After Dark happened about a year and a half ago and what used to be my baby has become more student-run,” Andrade said. “I want the committee to have everything planned and then come to me for financial and vendor help.”

For the committee in charge of CAD, it begins with brainstorming ideas that sound interesting for college students. Then, they plan out the decorations, food and activities for each theme.

January 22 - January 25, 2015

Friday’s “A Whole New World” will feature activities such as belly dancing, a snake charmer and henna tattoos.

Though Renfro and his committee do much of their planning ahead of time, they are also running around the day of to make sure everything is perfect.

“One time during the Harry Potter CAD, we weren’t sure the drapery for the windows would be enough until it was finally set up two hours before,” Renfro said. “Another time dur-

ing the Luau CAD, the food got here right as we were starting and had to carry everything in last minute.”

After CAD’s successful fall semester, expectations remain high for the upcoming events.

“We really are trying to use as much of the SAC that we can to take advantage of the space and make Canes After Dark the best that it could be,” Andrade said.

Students who regularly come to the Friday night events have noticed the attention to detail that is given to all three floors of the SAC. “I remember the Harry Potter one being my favorite because it was awesome to see Hogwarts come to life,” said freshman Adrian Nunez. “Playing Quidditch was the best part of the night.”

Other students, like junior Matias Stanham, have noticed that although the large student turnout results in long lines, the event is still a success.

“Even if the lines are long, they pass by pretty quick and everyone does get a chance to do every single activity they have to offer,” Stanham said.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Alexander Gonzalez

Anti-Golden signs miss mark In the past few weeks, fans f locked to Twitter to grieve the latest lackluster football season, with frustrations still burning long after the final games were played.

This anger reached its peak when students reported having their signs with slogans such as “#FireAlGolden” confiscated during men’s basketball games at the BankUnited Center (BUC).

The question of whether these signs were explicitly banned is not entirely clear. There is an official rule banning signs that appears to have been added after the signs were confiscated.

The actions of the BUC are not beyond reproach. By never clearly defining their policy regarding signs, they exposed themselves to a situation for which they were unprepared.

Though they were within their legal rights to confiscate the signs as owners

of the venue, simply being legal is not enough of a justification. As a result, the BUC appeared to be capricious and opaque.

Going forward, more explicit rules will be vital to improve the relations between the BUC and their fans.

The BUC should not shoulder the entire weight of these consequences.

Rules aside, these signs are simply in bad taste. Basketball games are, and should be, about basketball. Bringing signs with slogans like “Fire Al Golden” to a basketball game is nothing more than a distraction, and confiscating the signs was not completely unthinkable for a number of reasons.

There is also a sense of futility to them; the administration has made it clear that Al Golden will still be on board next season. The purpose of these signs in the context of a basketball game

then seems pointless. If fans wish to express their opinions, there are other outlets to achieve that. Twitter has proven that already.

Standards of decency have to apply.

A venue has its policies, and they should be respected even if they were not clearly promoted to fans.

As misguided as the sign drama is, however, it approaches a deeper issue that must be addressed. Many people feel frustrated by the way the football program is run and feel as though it needed a significant change to return to its former glory.

For better or worse, the near future of UM football has been decided, and it is time to focus on the spring semester’s sports season.

DESIGN BY EMMA DEARDORFF The Miami Hurricane asked students about their favorite ways to customize their meals at Built and Tossed, the latest additions to the Hurricane Food Court.

SALAD: Lettuce, chicken, chickpeas, apples, peppers and tomatoes

BURGER: Brioche bun, beef patty, lettuce, tomato, American cheese and mayonnaise

Built, Tossed offer affordable custom dining options

BY JAMIE HERMAN CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

Vegetarians and burger enthusiasts can get their fix thanks to two new dining options that allow students to customize their meals to satisfy any taste buds.

Built Custom Burgers dishes up burgers while Tossed serves up salads, and both offer customization that provide a new level of variety – something most college students long for in their dining options. For hungry students with a particular craving or a desire to create their own culinary masterpiece, Built and Tossed are the places to be during the lunchtime rush.

Tossed’s menu includes pre-designed salads like Greek, Asian Chicken and

Apple Walnut, as well as the option to “Design Your Own.” Students can choose their preferred greens and pick from an extensive list of add-ins and dressings that includes just about anything one could imagine.

“This is similar to the salad bar at the old food court,” said senior Alyssa Soffer. “I’m happy that I went; it was good. The only place you could get a salad was at Oasis and the old food court, so now this was necessary.”

If salads are not enough to satisfy, Tossed also serves gourmet wraps, artisanal sandwiches, soups and melts.

“I always get a custom salad and throw in whatever I’m in the mood to eat that day,” said freshman Sophie Schum-

mer. “I really love the pesto chicken, and I like adding lots of veggies.”

Tossed’s menu is clearly labeled with many gluten-free, fat-free and vegetarian options, so students with dietary restrictions won’t be at a loss for dining choices.

Like Tossed, Built allows students to get creative with their meals. Students can choose from a beef, chicken, veggie or turkey burger and pick a type of bun, or even opt for a bowl. Then diners can choose from 17 toppings, 12 sauces and four side dishes.

At Built, students really get their money’s worth. The $9.75 combo includes a customized burger, regularsized fries and a drink.

“Built is really organized and very thought out,” said freshman Alex MalaJanuary 22 - January 25, 2015

ret. “Not to mention, it’s cheap for what you get and tastes really good. I created what I call the Alex Bowl: it’s a turkey burger on greens – really tasty.”

According to UM Dining Manager Armando S. Cuervo, these two additions, opened in mid-January, are part of the second phase of the Hurricane Food Court renovations that began two years ago.

The first phase opened in the summer of 2014 and included the new Outtakes Convenience Store along with the Corner Deli. During phase two in the fall of 2014, the Hurricane Food Court added Sushi Maki, Innovation Kitchen, Pollo Tropical, Panda Express and Subway.

Five must-see movies at Cosford this semester

BY ASHLEY MARTINEZ EDGE WRITER

In day-to-day life, students often get consumed by their small screens – smart phones, tablets and laptops. These hand-held devices make entertainment convenient when on the go, but for a larger-than-life experience, visit the university’s Cosford Cinema, where students can watch the latest films for free.

If students don’t have time to check out every screening, here are Edge’s five must-see screenings at the Cosford this semester.

1. “The Interview” This controversial comedy, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, made international news when cyber-attacks and threats were made against Sony and any movie theater that screened the film. With people from all sides giving their opinions about Hollywood, free speech and consumer safety, many mainstream theaters cancelled its showing. Now UM students can see the film that sparked global media attention spanning political, celebrity and entertainment spheres on April 1 and 4.

2. “Kingsman: The Secret Service” Students will have a chance to view this action-filled spy movie at 8 p.m. Thursday – nearly three weeks

before it hits theaters on Feb. 13. A sneak peek is the best way to watch an espionage film about the Secret Service.

CHECK OUT THE THE CINEMATIC ARTS COMMISSION’S MOVIE SCHEDULE FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER. READ MORE AT THEMIAMIHURRICANE.COM.

Al Golden’s record in his four-season career at UM

GOLDEN FROM COVER

Twitter hashtag demonstrates coach controversy Most of the fans using this hashtag disagree with Golden’s choices for the coaching staff and are dissatisfied with the team’s performance on the field.

“Especially with this season, I think one can easily point to poor decision-making by the coaching staff as the main reason for the team’s struggles,” sophomore James Newlin said.

Angry about the outcome of the recent bowl game against South Carolina, Newlin himself posted a tweet using the hashtag.

He says he did so because that loss was upsetting for him.

“We can never truly know what’s going on inside the football team; I think the easiest way for fans to express their frustration is to blame it on the coach,” Newlin said.

Back in 2010, however, it seemed that Miami’s 22nd head football coach’s future would be golden. In his previous tenure at Philadelphia’s Temple University, he led the team to an 8-4 overall record, an improvement over its previous record of having only two winning seasons in 26 years.

Despite backlash from fans, Golden has been recognized for his performance. In 2013, he received the Lombardi Award for Excellence in Coaching, which came at the heels of a 9-4 season that was on track to lead the Hurricanes to their first division title, only to be stopped by Florida State University during conference play.

That season, Golden also coached the Hurricanes to a spot in the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando. This was Miami’s first bowl appearance since 2010 after the Nevin Shapiro ponzi scheme scandal.

A LOOK BACK AT “#FIREALGOLDEN” TWEETS

Just Golden’s mere presence via the scoreboard, is cauing the basketball team to suck. #FireAlGolden @87FireCane

January 2015

FILE PHOTO FEAR THE TIE: Al Golden watches the football team warm up at Doak Campbell Stadium before the game against FSU on Nov. 2 2013. The 2013 season proved to be the peak of Golden’s career at UM to date.

The subsequent NCAA investigation hurt recruitment and resulted in the removal of some scholarships in Golden’s first two seasons with UM. Despite the NCAA investigation, this did not hurt Golden’s ability to garner notable recruits, such as running back Duke Johnson and quarterback Brad Kaaya. Johnson recently decided to enter the 2015 NFL draft, and Kaaya was named ACC Rookie of the Year in 2014.

Nevertheless, Johnson and Kaaya could not carry the team and prevent the outcome of the Duck Commander Independence Bowl held in December 2014. Under Golden, the team has an overall record of 28-22 and are 16-16 in the ACC. Former Hurricanes Head Coach Randy Shannon held the same record during the 2009 sea-

son as Golden’s 2013 peak. Shannon was terminated a year later.

Among the other grievances, the similarity to Shannon’s record has prompted some fans to question Golden’s performance.

“I think the fans are tired of being mediocre,” said Gerry Couzo, who has been attending UM football games since 1990, when his parents worked for the Miller School of Medicine.

“It’s sad that we haven’t won a bowl game since 2006. …

It’s also frustrating to see talent brought into this team year in and year out, flourish in the NFL but doing okay here at the U,” Couzo said.

It’s sentiments like these that drive fans to social media to voice their concerns. Though the “FireAlGolden” hashtag has gained popularity this season, it is not new.

The hashtag was first used in 2010 shortly after Golden was hired. It then popped up again in the 2011 season and has been used since.

When games were lost or did not go as expected, fans took to Twitter, calling for the coach’s termination. Throughout the 2014 season, plane banners with the phrase printed on them were purchased and flown around Sun Life Stadium before games.

Picket signs with “#FireAlGolden” written on them were even seen on national television during ESPN’s coverage of the national championship game held in Dallas, Texas on Jan. 12.

Discontent for Golden also made its way to the basketball court.

Actions by BUC to remove attendee signs spurs further outcry Staffers at the BankUnited Center (BUC) took away signs that read “Fire Al Golden” and “Bring Back Butch” from a student at men’s basketball games. According to an article in the Miami New Times, BUC security deemed the signs a distraction to fans.

This led to an outpour of tweets and posts supporting the UM student and calling for an explanation from the university.

Documentary filmmaker Billy Corben, who produced the two “U” documentaries that premiered on ESPN, took to Twitter to express his frustrations, writing, “shame on @ UnivMiami @CanesAllAccess for confiscating signs from paying fans at @The_BUC during @CanesHoops games.”

According to a Miami Herald interview with Athletic Director Blake James, the BUC has a no-sign policy. However, screenshots on Billy Corben’s Twitter show that the no-sign policy did not show up on the venue’s website until Jan. 14, three days after the signs were confiscated.

I have friends on both sides of the issue, but I definitely think Coach Golden’s support among students is fading.

James Newlin, University of Miami sophomore

A representative from the BUC suggested that the nosign policy is for customer service and safety purposes.

Couzo, who has had season tickets since 2008, says that he thinks it’s not right to take signs from fans because “we have rights as Americans to voice how we feel.” He does, however, understand the problems these negative signs may pose when it comes time to recruit new players.

“Certain recruits build a relationship with a coach, which is why they go to that school, so while on a visit if

they attend a basketball game and see those signs they start to think, ‘Man, coach might not be here that long so let me not consider coming here.’ That’s the only way it’s a distraction in my opinion,” he said.

Newlin shares similar sentiments.

“As long as the signs aren’t offensive, I don’t see how they can be that distracting,” he said.

He also says he doesn’t see fans changing their tune any time soon.

“I have friends on both sides of the issue, but I definitely think Coach Golden’s support among students is fading,” he said.

Still, James says he is supportive of Golden and his efforts.

“Coach Golden has helped guide Miami through some of our most challenging times and represents the university with class and integrity. He has worked hard to rebuild our program the right way,” he said.

COMMENTARY

Fan criticism clouds successes Complaints can’t change contracts

BY COURTNEY FIORINI SPORTS EDITOR

Great teams take time to build. A coach cannot snap his fingers and make a team successful. A coach can talk all he wants and call all the right plays, but he cannot execute them. The game is played on the field.

Fans are quick to place blame when the slightest thing goes wrong. It’s easy to look past all the good things when fans focus on the bad.

In reality, there have only been two years when the Canes could have gone to a bowl. Lest we forget, there were two years of bowl bans and scholarships that were taken away with the NCAA investigation.

Despite the controversy, Al Golden still has a winning record with Miami. He is 28-22.

Any coach could have struggled under the pressure of coming into a prominent Division 1 school shrouded in controversy.

Fans took to Twitter to discuss how Miami men’s basketball Coach Jim Larrañaga has done more with less. It’s a shame fans need reminding that basketball is a completely different sport with its own set of obstacles. There are fewer recruits, and teams can bounce back more easily.

Florida is a large recruiting ground. The Canes compete with Florida and FSU, two huge football schools. Even though UF has been struggling, they still are a force to be reckoned with as an SEC school. Everyone knows about FSU’s success on the football field.

SPORTS

Golden is not out of chances. Even with the eight decommitments, there are still strong possibilities. All schools have students who choose another path. This is not abnormal.

It’s not just about recruitment; the talent needs FIORINI to be developed. A team can have the best players out there but sometimes bad things happen like injuries and suspensions. Kevin Olsen was suspended and subsequently left UM, leaving the ball in freshman Brad Kaaya’s hands.

Let’s not overlook Golden’s successful acquisitions. Under Golden, Duke Johnson was recruited and developed into arguably the best running back in college football. Under Golden, Kaaya was recruited and had a record-breaking freshman season.

The prevailing sentiment among fans is the desire to have The U’s glory days of the ‘80s back. The ‘80s are over and they aren’t coming back. Football has changed. Not everyone can have a dynasty, and building one takes time.

It would be beneficial to set realistic expectations for progress. Do we want to win the National Championship? Of course. Are we close to having a championship team? Absolutely not.

At the end of the day, Al Golden still has his job and the university makes the decisions.

Not the fans. Not the talking heads on ESPN. People will complain, but that’s all they can do.

Team reputation at risk Golden not leaving golden legacy

BY MAX SANCHEZ CONTRIBUTING SPORTS WRITER

Since Al Golden’s introduction into Miami’s football program in 2011, he has achieved a 28-22 record and a .560 winning percentage. Looking at these numbers, Randy Shannon was terminated for ending the 2010 football season with a 7-5 record.

There has been much speculation as to why Golden is still the head coach and why his contract was extended to 2019. It can be said that there is plenty of talent on this squad. However, the coaching is what is lacking, beginning with our defensive coordinator Mark D’Onofrio. With constant backing from Golden, D’Onofrio has secured his job.

At the end of this season, with the Canes finishing with a mediocre 6-7, which includes a bowl game loss, Golden did not have much to comment, but only mentioned that he would think everything over during the off season.

Keeping Golden would create problems for the program. For example, recruiting is one of the biggest issues. So far, there have been eight decommitments from prominent high school recruits and that number is slowly rising.

A team cannot progress, add assets and improve if recruiting classes are weak.

There is a recruiting threat with Shannon becoming a Florida Gator. To truly re-

cruit the best athletes from the state, we really need someone who can get the job done.

Other problems like losing fans and potential donors could severely cripple the athSANCHEZ letic program.

Two great candidates for Golden’s position would be former coach Butch Davis and former Hurricane and FIU head coach Mario Cristobal.

Butch has expressed interest in the position if it were to become available, and Cristobal would heavily consider the offer to return to Miami from his current work in Alabama.

In Alabama, Cristobal has enhanced his knowledge through his work with Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban. Saban is one of the best in the business and has been a positive influence on Cristobal. Butch has won a championship with UM already and said that leaving Miami was a tragic mistake.

Although firing Golden and his staff would be expensive, the new Adidas deal is kicking in good money to restructure the program. Also, by winning again, the program will return to the winning status that it should be in.

V, DEAR V

Dear Runaway Bride,

My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other since freshman year, and we’re both set to graduate in May. Before we left for winter break, he brought up the idea of marriage. He pointed out that we’re going to have to start considering the future, and he seems to think the best way to ensure we stay together after graduation is to get married right away.

I really love him, but I’m not sure if I’m ready for that kind of commitment at 22. I feel like a horrible person because, if I loved him as much as I say I do, I would want to get married … wouldn’t I?

Commencement or commitment?

Sincerely, Say Maybe to the Ring

First of all, I just have to ask – are you and your boyfriend unicorns?

Because remaining in a relationship for four years in a time when sexting counts as intimacy is impressive.

Congrats on your commitment – my focus barely extends through a whole “Game of Thrones” episode.

That being said, being in love at 22 doesn’t mean it’s going to be forever, despite what the love lists on Elite Daily tell you. I don’t think that swapping your graduation gown for a wedding dress is the necessary next step, even in a long-term relationship. Your 20s are your time to explore and grow. Not saying you can’t do that with the old ball and chain around, but do you really want to be the 22-year-old with a hubby?

I would sit your boy down and tell him that your senior year is about grad school apps, not seating charts.

Explain how you’re feeling. I’m told

that those mythical long-term relationships only last with communication. Now is definitely an important time to speak up – unless you want the next time the subject comes up to be when he passes you a bread roll with an engagement ring shoved in it.

If your relationship is as great as you think it is, then I’m confident you guys will figure it out. Maybe start with a smaller step, like moving in together or getting a pet turtle. In lasting relationships (and marriages), convos like this are the norm. And if he takes the rejection too hard, then think of it this way – better you see it now than after you’ve said “I do.”
