Canes curb Nebraska comeback By Mark Singer Sports Editor
T
he Hurricanes pulled out a 36-33 win in overtime over the Cornhuskers, but only after Nebraska shockingly scored 23 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to tie the game at Sun Life Stadium on Saturday. Sophomore kicker Michael Badgley nailed a 28-yard field goal in overtime to net the Canes the win. Badgley went five-for-five on field goal kicks. “I was aiming at the middle of the U,” a jubilant Badgley said about his kick in overtime. “There’s a white line right between the U and I was hitting that. That’s what I was going for.” Sophomore quarterback Brad Kaaya wasn’t surprised by his friend’s kick to win the game. After all, Badgley predicted he would beat Nebraska last summer. “He said, ‘One day, I’m going to make a game-winning kick against Nebraska.’ He told me that he was going to make a game-winning kick against Nebraska,” Kaaya said of Badgley’s prognostication. “He wanted to do it last year, but that didn’t happen. He came through though.” Miami (3-0) went up 33-10 on a 28yard field goal by Badgley with 11:14 remaining in the fourth. Nebraska (12), after struggling to move the ball all game, marched down the field with ease and scored three touchdowns to send it into overtime. jump to page 9

UM alumni who work for Target. One UM alum, Omri Saadi, was recruiting this year after getting a full-time position through last spring’s Career Expo. Saadi, who now works for Lennar Corporation after graduating in spring 2015, met a supervisor at the last career fair. He followed up with two rounds of interviews and is now a full-time employee. “I am starting in an 18-month rotational program, which is basically a full-time training period, and will then move up the ranks with time,” Saadi said. All attendees wore professional business attire and brought multiple copies of their resume. Everyone was provided with a map of the fair f loor plan that showed the locations of each organization. The tables were grouped in sections of general employers, graduate pro-
grams and science, technology, engineering and math programs. All of the recruiters were accessible, and some would approach students themselves. Toppel provided tote bags so that students could collect the informational pamphlets and souvenirs that the companies gave out. The event was months in the making, and the specific date was set in April. The career center sent out lists of participating companies and organizations to alumni and students via email, giving attendees plenty of time to conduct research and prepare. Toppel is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, commemorating two decades of helping students seek and pursue jobs and internships. The center provides career advising, resume critiques and company information sessions.

Counseling Center welcomes experienced psychologist from Florida Atlantic University By Nathaniel Bradley III Contributing News Writer
R
ené Monteagudo took the helm as director of the UM Counseling Center in July after previous Director Ernesto Escoto left to take over the same position at University of Florida (UF). The South Florida native has a plethora of experience fit to lead arguably one of the most important services provided by the university. Monteagudo, who majored in psychology during his undergraduate studies at UF, has always been devoted to the field. He said he found his true calling while volunteering at a hospital. “When I was in my undergrad and volunteering at the hospital, I actually saw a f lyer that asked people to help out at the crisis center, and after doing it, I took an interest in clinical studies,” he said. After that experience, he devoted his life to counseling psychology. He earned his bachelor’s, master’s and specialist degrees from UF, and his Ph.D. at Indiana University (IU). He then completed his doctoral internship at Pennsylvania State University (PSU). After completing his studies, Monteagudo worked his way up the career ladder, starting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). He began doing outreach to support those in crisis situations and chaired the suicide prevention committee. Eventually, he became the director of the counseling center training program at UIUC and spent about 10 years there. In 2012, he took the director position at the University of North Florida before family circumstances led him to accept the senior associate director position of Florida Atlantic University’s Counseling & Psychological Services center. UF, IU, PSU and UIUC are larger state schools with student populations more than double the size of UM’s, so Monteagudo will have to adjust to the smaller size. “A lot of the schools I come from were in the Big 10, so their campuses and counseling centers are a lot bigger. So going from schools of that size to UM is quite a difference,” Monteagudo said.
Monteagudo was pleased to be offered the director position here at UM and believes that his experience combined with his familiarity with the South Florida region will take the UM Counseling Center to Montaegudo the next level. The school’s administration shares that belief. “We are thrilled that Dr. Monteagudo will be joining us,” said Vice President for Student Affairs Patricia A. Whitely at the time of Monteagudo’s appointment. “I am confident that his diverse leadership experience will continue to enhance the services of our UM Counseling Center. He will no doubt be a committed and collaborative partner with faculty, students and staff across the campus, and I am delighted he has accepted our offer to join the university community.” Monteagudo has been collaborative from the start. As soon as he got to UM, he began meeting with different students and organizations to get feedback on what they felt would be the best ways to improve. He is working on three counseling initiatives that are in different stages. The first is the recently launched, anonymous online mental health screening system. This allows students to evaluate their mental health and determine the next step to take in seeking treatment. The second initiative is suicide and prevention training, which is an online course sponsored by the Question, Persuade and Prefer (QPR) Institute. All RAs have been trained in this program, and all students and faculty have access to it, as well. It gives the university’s slogan,“‘Canes Care for ‘Canes,” extra meaning. The program is set to launch within the next couple of weeks, and all students are encouraged to take it and get certified. The third initiative, set to launch in late October, is an after-hours hotline that will allow students to speak to someone about any issue at any time. The school hopes these initiatives will make the UM Counseling Center more convenient and more accessible than ever before. UM Counseling Center services come at no additional cost for students, as those fees are covered along with tuition at the beginning of each semester. Students also have free access to psychiatric services if they are covered by the university’s insurance plan.

Let’s be Frenk By William Riggin and Isabella Cueto News Editor and Assistant News Editor
P
resident Julio Frenk is getting to know the University of Miami through his “100 Days of Listening” tour leading up to his inauguration on Jan. 29. With Frenk’s tenure having started on Sept. 1, students and faculty do not know much about Frenk besides the titles and degrees on his resume. The Hurricane sat down with Frenk to get to know the Mexicanborn doctor and public health expert. In a wide-ranging interview, he discussed his favorite hobbies and foods, described the people he admires and more. On a bright September morning, sunlight made stripes across Frenk’s serene office on the second floor of the Ashe Administration Building. On one wall were portraits of his mentors, an honorary diploma from the University of Geneva and photos from memorable moments in his life. Pictures of his family lined bookshelves. The president sat at a round table, tablet in hand. Behind him stood a bare wall he said he plans to fill with artistic interpretations of the UM campus throughout the years.
TMH: What would constitute a perfect day for you? A perfect day would be one where I can balance the three spheres of life: rewarding work, time with family and a little bit of time for oneself, and that includes exercise, maybe some reading. That balance is very hard to achieve, but you need to have a mix of the three. I would feel at work that I’ve accomplished something that I value, where I have an opportunity to connect with my family, especially my children, and then one where – I always read literature before I go to sleep – where I at least have a small dose of something that is not work, my personal enrichment.
TMH: If you were stranded alone on an island, which three books would you take? One, I guess, would be a survival guide, since my survival skills are not that good. Just a book for the basic survival aspects of life. If I wanted to have a book that would keep me company, I would probably have a volume with the collected works of William Shakespeare that would include not only the theatre production, but the poetry. I have so many books that I love, I only have one more, so the third one would be a recent book that collected all the writings including the aphorisms of my grandmother, who lived to 106 and published her last book when she was 103, and cultivated literary genre that is very common in Central Europe, where she was born, called aphorisms. [They are] short, witty and deep statements about life, and my grandmother had a fantastic production of aphorisms and her daughter, my aunt, recently collected everything that my grandmother published, so I would take that book. Her name was Mariana FrenkWestheim. TMH will publish excerpts from the interview in a series entitled, “Let’s Be Frenk.” Audio of the interview accompanying the excerpts can be found online.

bus is owned by Academy Bus LLC, a transportation service that the University of Miami uses. According to a police report from the University of Miami Police Department (UMPD), the bus – which is used as an office – was parked under the Metrorail around 2 a.m. for overnight storage after UM’s first football game. Between the time it was parked and 4 p.m. Sunday, it was broken into and ransacked. The perpetrator took the keys to another bus from the lock box and used them to enter the second bus. In the second bus (#13009), the perpetrator knocked down a GPS device and security camera. UMPD reviewed video surveillance from the bus and has released a campus community information flyer in hopes of identifying the intruder. UMPD has not confirmed whether or not he is a UM student. There were no damages to the interior of the office bus, according to the police report. The keys were recovered from the driver’s seat in bus #13009. The virtually harmless nature of the crime led one Academy Bus employee, who has chosen to remain anonymous, to believe it was the result of a prank or drunken misbehavior.

OPEN CASE: On Sept. 6, an office bus owned by Academy Bus, LLC was broken into and vandalized in the Metrorail parking lot on Ponce de Leon Boulevard. The violators have not yet been identified.
The bus used as an office contained several items of greater value, such as a television and a fax machine. Those, the employee noted, could have been stolen and sold but they were not. “You can normally tell ... They will usually destroy things, they will
usually steal things. Nothing was destroyed and nothing was stolen. It was just vandalism,” he said. According to the employee, the office bus should have been locked overnight. However, the bus is old and
could easily have been broken into, even if it was locked. “That bus is so old, it wouldn’t take much to get that lock unlocked,” he said. This case is still under investigation by UMPD.

OPINION
THE MIAMI HURRICANE
September 21 - September 23, 2015
Opinion EDITORIAL
Maintain balanced parent-child relationship Heading off to college means gaining an enormous amount of responsibility and newfound independence. For many of us, it’s our first time out of the parental nest; we will make our own decisions and, inevitably, our own mistakes. But defining the parent-child relationship in this next chapter of our lives can be a challenge. It’s important to maintain family support as we embark on our college careers, but feeling smothered by our parents can mean pulling away, losing trust and hindering personal growth. To find a happy medium, assess your situation. If you’re financially dependent on your parents in any way, you have an obligation to follow their rules and a re-
sponsibility to respect their opinions. They’re investing in your future, so it’s in their best interest to guide you. Yet, even if you’re self-supporting, that doesn’t make it okay to cut the cord completely. One way or another, your mom and dad have helped you out along the way, and their life experience is a commodity you should value. Chances are they’ve struggled with similar situations, so be grateful for any advice they may offer. Maintaining an open dialogue between you and your ‘rents throughout your four years in school is the right thing to do and will help you to conquer your own challenges. Still, it’s essential to maintain a clear boundary. There’s a fine line between being close with your parents and being their best friend. It’s great to share a special relationship, but becoming too buddy-buddy can cause you to lose the
essential sense of respect for your elders, and your parents will no longer be able to hold you accountable for your actions. That lack of a parental figure will hurt you in the long run. College is a complicated stage in your relationship with your parents, but finding a personal balance between you, mom and dad will help things run a lot more smoothly. Parents should offer advice without being overbearing; waiting for the child to ask for guidance rather than imposing unsolicited opinions is ideal. But since many of us are still dependent in some way, it’s up to us to hear them out. Once we’re totally on our own, we’ll be free to do as we please without seeking approval. Until then, keep an open mind. Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hurricane editorial board.

Voting gives you voice
W
elcome back to election season. In case you didn’t get your fix of melodrama watching “The Bachelorette” this summer, both political parties have decided to up the ante with drama, intrigue and buffoonery, even though the actual election is over a year away. Still, it seems like with every election, the voter By Eitan Snyder turnout gets smaller and smaller. Staff Columnist In the midterm elections last year, voter turnout was at its lowest since 1942, with only 36.4 percent of the voting-eligible population showing up to the polls, according to the United States Elections Project. The strength of our democratic process is one of the things we Americans pride ourselves in most, so why are so few people participating in it? I imagine that in the past few years there has been significant sentiment among our generation against trusting established authority, with the government getting the lion’s share of this criticism. We have a Congress that is polarized and gridlocked on all major issues, a president who upsets Congress by overstepping them on a variety of issues and a presidential campaign system where extraordinarily wealthy donors can tip the scales in their favor with enormous and unregulated donations. Despite whatever frustrations and disillusionments you may have with our government, voting in this upcoming presidential election is the
best way to make your voice heard. Every American voter has unquantifiable power in their vote and, through enough passionate Americans making their voices heard through their votes, the next president of the United States will truly represent the will of the people. I have been very lucky to have lobbied Congress with the pro-Israel lobbying organization American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and I am excited to lobby Congress again with the Recording Academy as part of their GRAMMYs In My District initiative, lobbying on behalf of musicians and music creators everywhere. In these instances, I have the opportunity to speak directly to my representative and actually have them listen to what I am saying. In politics and in life, people do not know what you want unless you clearly tell them. I encourage everyone to find opportunities like this – to meet your representatives and tell them what issues are most important to you. Students should also make the effort to be informed about current issues and politicians through sources like Purple Politics and Politico. Most candidates also have pages on their campaign websites that clearly state their stance on issues. No matter which party you affiliate with, the 2016 election is one that is far too important for anyone to simply sit back and watch from the sidelines. Democracy works best when the people participate in it. As Woody Allen would say, “80 percent of success is just showing up.” We can make sure the right person is sitting in the Oval Office in 2016 by simply showing up to the ballot box and voting. Eitan Snyder is a sophomore majoring in music business.

MESSY MARATHON: During the “Color Me Rad” 5K at Sun Life Stadium, runners rejoice in color powder. After crossing the finish line, the participants gathered to listen to music, get free merchandise and toss more color on each other.
Themes bring fun to runs By Donatella Vacca Contributing Edge Writer
W
hen it comes to marathons, heat, sweat and miles of running are often the images that come to mind. For athletic types, this might seem like a good time, but for others, it’s distressing and daunting. Yet not all marathons are the same, and “themed runs” are taking these events to a new level. Now, it’s not only about making it to the finish line, but it’s also about dodging bloody zombies, squeezing in between
bubbles, swimming in mud and being drenched in colorful paint. Although it sounds odd, bubbles, foam, mud and even zombies have become the standard for runs that trigger our artsy side. These emerging themed runs are taking over, offering different, trendy options for people of all ages and preferences. Fall in Miami is the prime time to be a marathoner, whether you’re a regular or trying it out for the first time. There are a ton of fun races to attend; Foam Glow, Zombie Rush, Bubble Run and Color Run are just some of the options.
ored bubble bogs and a mysterious bubble tree that animates the course. Open to runners of all experience levels, the race enforces only two rules: wear white clothing and be a kid again. The Bubble Run begins at 9 a.m. on Sept. 26 at HomesteadMiami Speedway. Tickets are $50 and kids under the age of six race for free. The more frothy you get, the better.

For those looking to put a twist on this year’s Halloween, Zombie Rush is the ideal event. Runners must cross the quarantine area and make it to the safe zone all while being chased by zombies – it’s straight out of a “Walking Dead” fan’s dream.
With movie-like scenarios, terrific makeup effects and perfectly tailored costumes, Zombie Rush is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to either test your survival skills or ace Zombie 101, since the race is open to runners and zombie volunteers. The race takes place in October and offers both daytime and nighttime runs.
Color Run
The ultimate fan favorite happens in November with the Color Run, which combines music, exercise, art and fun. Whether you go with a team or f ly solo, the race is designed for anyone who wants to celebrate
health, happiness and individuality. Also known as the Happiest 5K on the Planet, Color Run is the original paint race and the only one where paint splattering another person is completely acceptable. This year’s Shine Tour takes place Nov. 14 at Sun Life Stadium and is designed to uplift and inspire runners to stand out from the crowd and sweat sparkles. There will be sparkle attractions on the course, glamorous photo opportunities and new shine elements at the Finish Festival. The cost is $45 for individual runners, and groups pay $40 per person. Springtime will bring additional options, like the Down & Dirty obstacle race in May and the Foam Glow 5K in June, where paint splattering is upgraded to gleaming neon colors and blacklights.

ALL-NATURAL FESTIVAL: During this Saturday’s Turnip the Beet festival in Wynwood, vendors showcase their sustainable foods and products. The festival takes place every third Saturday of the month.
Wynwood event promotes sustainable living By Madelyn Paquette Staff Writer
A
lthough Wynwood is best known for its Art Walk every second Saturday night, there’s a new festival that has quietly sprung up in Miami’s haven for all
things hip. Instead of the loud music, outrageous food trucks and avant-garde exhibits of Art Walk, this celebration is all about returning to simplicity and sustainability. The budding monthly gathering, whimsically dubbed Turnip the Beet, occurs every third Saturday of the month. Held a bit off the beaten path, Turnip the Beet is housed at Colony1’s lot, a short walk from the main Wynwood strip. The event schedule features community gardening, meditation sessions and yoga practice. For those looking to avoid breaking a sweat, there are also group discussions on such topics as peace and metaphysics and workshops on various organic creations. The festival, which provides a refreshing opportunity to get back to basics, is produced by Colony1, an emerging Miami organization that aims to
promote sustainable living practices. The project is sponsored by the non-profit Art of Cultural Evolution, which is working to build an eco-friendly art and environmental research complex on grant land from Miami-Dade County. In the meantime, Colony1 is organizing smaller scale events like Turnip the Beet to promote collaboration between the arts and sciences, as well as conservation. Turnip the Beet also hosts a variety of vendors, with a focus on homemade and natural products. Visitors can sample star fruit jam, smell organic sugar scrubs and peruse hand-woven purses, among other options. Many of these sellers also contribute raff le prizes to raise money for Colony1’s future projects. College life can be fast-paced and stressful at even the best of times. If you’re looking for a chance to catch your breath, Turnip the Beet is an unconventional respite from pressures of our non-stop, plugged-in culture.

Canes beat Nebraska 36-33 “[It was a] great look on the sideline when it did go to overtime – nobody panicked, leaders led and everybody else just stayed together. I’m proud of the way we finished,” coach Al Golden said. “Obviously, we have some things to correct. But I just told the guys, ‘You’re 3-0, you just beat a good team.’” Junior defensive back Corn Elder intercepted Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. on the first play of overtime and the Canes took over only needing a field goal for the win. Armstrong entered the fourth quarter with 125 yards on 10-of-24 passing. The junior Cornhusker torched the Canes for 184 yards
and three touchdowns in the final frame. “We had a few mistakes [in the fourth quarter],” senior linebacker Raphael Kirby said. “We just didn’t execute a couple of the calls. We didn’t do our job for a couple of plays and it showed.” The Cornhuskers took over on their own 13-yard line trailing 33-25 with 2:39 remaining in the game. Armstrong connected with receiver Brandon Reilly for 41 yards down the right sideline to give Nebraska a chance to tie it. Junior Jamal Carter joined fellow safety Deon Bush in the locker room with a targeting penalty for his hit on Reilly. Bush was ejected for targeting earlier in the quarter. Both players are suspended for the first half of the next game against Cincinnati. Five plays later, Armstrong connected with Stanley Morgan Jr. from eight yards out to cut Miami’s lead to two. Armstrong hit receiver Jordan Westerkamp in the back of the end zone on the two-point conversion, and incredibly, this game was tied. The Canes opened the game with a near-perfect performance in the first quarter. The team forced

Kaaya was sensational in the first quarter, throwing for 143 yards and two touchdowns to six different receivers on 9-of-13 passing. The captain out of California marched the Canes 65 yards in five plays on their first drive, finding sophomore Christopher Herndon IV in the end zone from 10 yards out for his first career touchdown. Kaaya threw his first interception of the season on a pass intended for junior tight end Standish Dobard in the left corner of the end zone in the fourth quarter. The second-year quarterback finished the night with 379 yards and two touchdowns on 25-of-42 passing. Redshirt senior receiver Rashawn Scott caught a career-
high nine passes for 151 yards, second most to his 180-yard performance against North Carolina State in 2012. Scott hauled in a 32yard pass down the right sideline in the opening drive to set up Miami’s first touchdown and turned a short catch into a 52-yard gain that led to a 27-yard field goal by Badgley in the second quarter. Sophomore running back Joseph Yearby had another solid outing in his third start for the Canes with 125 rushing yards on 17 carries. Yearby appeared to put Miami up for good with 13:50 left in the third quarter when he cut to the middle and took off for a 41-yard touchdown run to put the Canes up 27-3.

down to a late field goal is a mystery even to the players. Sophomore defensive lineman Trent Harris said, “To be honest, I don’t know how [Nebraska came back in the fourth quarter]. I was too into the game.” Miami outgained Nebraska 511 to 462 in total yards and both teams finished with 24 first downs. The Canes were just 3-of-14 on third down conversions, continuing a troubling trend for the team that dates back to last season. “We just have to improve. At the end of the day, we have to improve,” Golden said about the team’s performance on third down. “We weren’t good enough here today. That’s one part of our game we have to continue to focus on here in the next week.” After a bye week, the Canes will play Cincinnati at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 1 in Ohio.

Brad Kaaya dominates in Nebraska game By Mark Singer Sports Editor
N
ebraska’s stunning fourth-quarter comeback Saturday night arguably overshadowed quarterback Brad Kaaya’s best performance of his young career. The sophomore from California picked apart the Cornhuskers’ secondary all night and was the main reason the Canes led Nebraska by as many as 24 points. Kaaya was keyed in from the start, throwing two touchdowns in the first seven minutes of the game. They were the first career touchdowns for sophomores

TEAM LEADER: Quarter Back Brad Kaaya (15) sets up the offense while the Canes march down the field against Nebraska. Christopher Herndon IV and Tyre Brady. The Canes took a 17-0 lead into the second quarter largely because of Kaaya throwing for 143 yards on 9-of-13 passing. Kaaya didn’t throw another touchdown after the first quarter, but he consistently racked up big yardage to put the team in scoring
position. The second-year quarterback finished the night with a career-high 379 yards on 25-of42 passing and completed throws to nine different players. He also had his first interception of the season on a risky throw in the fourth quarter, but Head Coach Al Golden blames himself for a
questionable play call, saying, “That’s on me.” Nebraska came into the game with the No. 119-ranked passing defense in the country out of 127 teams, but Nebraska Head Coach Mike Riley gave Kaaya the credit for the quarterback’s huge night. “I think he made good, quick decisions and threw, early on, some quick play action passes that moved our linebackers and isolated our secondary,” Riley said. “He appeared to play very confidently. We couldn’t get him to pull the ball down or throw him off of his rhythm for a long time.” The Cornhuskers struggled to keep up with the quarterback’s quick decision making. The Canes had five scoring drives – all 50 yards or more – that took less than three minutes off the clock. Kaaya struck Nebraska early and often. On first down throws, Kaaya racked up 207 yards and one touchdown on 12 of 18 passing. That success on first down allowed offensive coordinator James Coley to open up the
playbook and to not worry about needing to pick up enough yards for another set of downs. Kaaya had his career night despite the absence of sophomore receiver Braxton Berrios and limited play of junior receiver Stacy Coley. Both players suffered injuries in the season opener against Bethune-Cookman. Redshirt senior Rashawn Scott stepped up with the two ailing receivers on the sideline. Scott made catches all over the field, resulting in a career-high nine receptions for 151 yards, second most to his 180-yard game against North Carolina State in 2012. “I have a great quarterback to throw it to me,” Scott said after the game. Although Nebraska’s fourthquarter comeback is the main takeaway from Saturday’s game, Kaaya’s performance against the Cornhuskers should leave Canes fans optimistic going forward.

Three Canes win titles at Miami Fall Invite
T
By Rachel Cox-Rosen Assistant Sports Editor
he Miami Fall Invite ended Sunday with three young Canes taking the first spot in two of the finals categories. Miami went 19-12 overall in the tournament that spanned Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center. Sophomore Yolimar Ogando took the top prize in the Orange Singles competition. Freshman Clara Tanielian and sophomore Wendy Zhang came in first in the Orange Doubles competition. Ogando, ranked No. 94 in the country, got the best of Auburn University’s Pleun Burgmans, ranked No. 47. Despite being ranked lower and the heat of the harsh Sunday morning sun, Ogando came out on top, winning 7-6 (7-5) and 7-5 in the final. “Yolimar played great tennis today with some minor hiccups, but they are a part of the game,” Associate Head Coach Laura Vallverdu said to HurricaneSports.com. “If
she continues to push her limits, she can win the tournament and set herself up for a great year.” Ogando also played with partner Silvia Fuentes in the Green Doubles competition. They lost in Saturday’s semifinals versus Vanderbilt’s Summer Dvorak and Ellie Yates, but won in the consolation match against Natsumi Okamoto and Gabriela Rezende. Tanielian and Zhang defeated fellow Canes freshman Ana Madcur and senior Clementina Riobueno 6-4 in the finals on Saturday. “Clara and Wendy are fun to watch on the doubles court,” Vallverdu said to HurricaneSports.com. “They have a lot of room for improvement, but it is a great starting point. Our focus as a team is big on the doubles point, so I am very pleased the girls are understanding that and putting the importance necessary on the matter.” Tanielian was also impressive in the Green Singles competition. She made it all the way to the semifinals on Saturday before losing 6-4, 6-4 to eventual overall winner Fernanda Contreras of Vanderbilt. Madcur bested Auburn’s Alannah Griffin in the Green Singles consolation finals. The Hurricanes will be back in action on Sept. 25-27 when they travel to the Puerto Rico Fall Classic.

for class, it won’t ruin my day. What should I do to alleviate the tension? I don’t want to end this relationship because I love her, but I don’t want to keep fanning a dying f lame, either. Sincerely, Type B Dear V, The last few weeks my girlfriend and I have been fighting constantly. It’s usually over dumb stuff, like who washed the dishes last or whose turn it is to do laundry. At first, I thought we were just going through a rough patch, but now I’m thinking we may not be compatible living together. She’s a lot more clean than I am. In fact, she’s obsessive about it. I’m not a slob by any means, but if I forget to make my bed before leaving

Dear Type B, Sometimes, no matter how much you care about a person, you might not be meant to be with them. But, if this is something you’re willing to work on, don’t give up yet. Maybe there’s an underlying reason for your tension that’s popping up through less important issues like you leaving the toilet seat up. A lost job, ended friendship, death in the family or stress from school – each could lead to lashing out. Try to find the real source before attribut-

ing it all to your girlfriend being finicky. However, if you’re certain that the cause of your fights is conf licting cleanliness styles, let’s tidy up this mess. Communicate cleanly: instead of calling your girl a “neat freak,” explain that you’re trying your best to keep her happy, but her habits are interfering with your own happiness and the time you two spend together. Section off space: give your girlfriend space that she can keep organized to a tee, like her nightstand or desk, while allowing yourself your own zone to roam free, too – like your bookcase or man cave. Empty your emotions: remember that your girlfriend’s fussiness isn’t an attack toward you, and remind her that leaving a spoon on the counter isn’t an insult to her, either. Remember your relationship: don’t forget why you’re together.
DEAR V
If you need ideas for how to solve conf licts or how to prevent them before they occur, try two ideas. Every time you bicker, add a dollar to a “fight jar.” Once every few months, get dinner using that money (hopefully in the McDonald’s price range rather than a classy restaurant). Also, next time you disagree, you should each take a long drag from a helium balloon and continue the discussion. Whoever laughs first, loses. Healthy communication and compromise will form a bridge so that Type A and Type B can live in peace ... so long as no one forgets to change the toilet paper roll. -V
