I-Week impresses crowd with cultural showcase, diverse foods By Marcus Lim Staff Writer

he five-day-long International Week (I-Week) ended with Asia Night on Thursday and Island Styles on Friday night, drawing the largest crowds of the week. Alumni who returned to partake in the annual celebration of cultures were full of praise for the week of events. Each year, the tradition has served as a homecoming for alumni of the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO), the organizers of the event. More than 30 alumni attended events throughout the week and all of them gathered at a banquet on Saturday to officially end I-Week. Hope Hua, who was the 2014-15 president of COISO and graduated in 2015, went to the banquet to celebrate COISO’s achievements throughout the year. These include the international dance competition in the fall, its participation in Homecoming and the continuation of I-Week, which has been an annual UM tradition for more than 40 years. “It’s really great to come back to see the old and new faces,” Hua said. “It’s interesting to see the new events and really exciting to see the growth and camaraderie that is still strong.” Lorna Castillo, the chair of I-Week in 2011 and a 2013 graduate, was taken down memory lane as she returned for the event she once organized. “I remember as a student being excited for I-Week, and now coming back as an alumni [sic], seeing the same reactions from other students. While traditions may change, the same excitement and feeling that I-Week gives is still the same,” Castillo said. I-Week has a history of showcasing different cultures from around the world, and Vice President of Student Affairs Pa-

tricia Whitely commended COISO for this at the banquet. Whitely also congratulated the student organization for a successful year and highlighted what they offered throughout the week. “The richness that international students bring to the campus and how we are such a diverse university,” Whitely said. Vibrant events in central locations have made I-Week a popular tradition on campus. According to COISO executives, the I-Week Facebook page received 500 additional likes during the five days of events, most of which came during their most popular nights, Thursday and Friday. Thursday’s Asia Night drew a crowd particularly quickly. Five minutes after officially opening on the Lakeside Patio, each tent was swarmed with people trying to experience the different cultural activities of China, India, South Korea and many other countries. Students got henna tattoos, made their own rangoli – an Indian form of art that uses colored rice to make a pattern – had their names written in calligraphy and learned their Chinese names. There was also a chance to get massages, which drew a long line. “Sakura massage was helpful, to come out, to teach students Asian technique in massages, to show how the cultures of Asia has disseminated into our culture today,” said Nishi Patel, the chair of Asia Night. Asia Night was crowned the best night of this year’s I-Week, judged by a panel of 20 members that included UM administrators and COISO alumni. Patel was also individually recognized with a “best night chair” award from COISO’s executive board. Thursday’s performance featured a storyline that parodied the classic Chinese tale “Journey to the West.” In the modernized version, a monk took a college student on a tour of different Asian countries to “enlighten” the student. The acts included traditional dances from Japan, China and India. COISO alumna Kamila Orlova said the performance was a hit with the crowd. “Everything that I was watching was amazing, from the costume details to the facial expression. You can sense the teamwork between the dancers and the audience loved it,” Orlova said. Orlova, who was the Europe night chair in 2015, was among the panelists and gave Asia Night her highest approval. Her favorite performance was Hurricane Bhangra, UM’s bhangra dance team that stole the show with an energetic Punjabi dance.

Castillo came to campus on Friday to see Island Styles, which was the second most popular day during I-Week. The night showcased cultures from the Philippines and Hawaii, and was organized by the Filipino Student Association (FSA) and Hui Aloha, the Hawaiian student organization. Castillo applauded the execution of Friday night’s performances, including the binasuan, a Filipino folk dance in which performers balance cups of water on each hand and on their heads. Students also performed maglalatik, a Filipino dance that uses coconuts worn as vests as an instrument. Castillo’s personal favorite was the tinikling dance that features two people beating, tapping and sliding two bamboo sticks on the ground while another dancer weaves gracefully between them. “The complexity makes the dance appreciative, and the energy and synchro-

nization gave the audience a taste of the culture,” Castillo said. The last two nights did receive one common complaint from attendees: the food lines were too long. More than 120 attendees waited for a taste of the food each night, according to I-Week chair Aalekhya Reddam. UM alumnus and 2013-14 COISO Chair Andres Morfin said he enjoyed the food I-Week offered. “What makes I-Week popular is the food; everyone comes to try some. It says a lot about a culture and I enjoyed what COISO served. The food seems to get better and better each year,” Morfin said. During the banquet, Reddam expressed her thanks to COISO for helping her organize I-Week and said that they fulfilled what they set out to do. “We wanted to give the campus the local experience, a taste of what each region could offer, and I know we have done just that,” Reddam said.

Law symposium discusses technology’s affect on TV industry By David Ufberg Senior News Writer

niversity of Miami School of Law and the American Bar Association held a two-day-long legal symposium on the worlds of film, music, television and sports on Thursday and Friday. The conference featured a host of big-name speakers including Marc Trestman, offensive coordinator for the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens; Tom McMillen, executive director of NCAA Athletic Directors Association; and Peter Dekom, who was named one of the top 100 lawyers in the US by Forbes and dubbed one of the 50 most powerful people in Hollywood by Premiere Magazine. Dekom talked about the evolution of the television industry and its various legal aspects, specifically noting the changes technology has had on the television industry. “The entire economic foundation of the television industry is dying fast,” Dekom said. “Social change and technology have never shown any mercy.”

Dekom went on to draw out what the effects of the dying TV industry would be on the lawyers of America and said that with a diminishing TV market, it will become more and more difficult to satisfactorily represent TV industry clients. Other topics at the symposium were issues of preserving confidentiality and protecting wealth for highprofile sports and entertainment clients, copyright and trademark litigation and valuation of intellectual property assets, among others. Kirk Schroder, an attorney at Schroder David PLC in Richmond, Virginia and regional chair for the event, discussed the fundamentals of advising a client in the literary world. “It’s important to give people a context of what this world is like from a business model standpoint,” Schroder said. “An editor is not going to just buy a book on an auction. They’re going to say, ‘For our high bid, we’d like to change this or that.’ They’ll do some dramatic revisions of the story.” President of eOne Music Michael Olsen pointed out considerations investors should make when evaluating music assets. “You have to ask, ‘What’s it worth to me today? What is it going to cost me to raise the capital to buy it?’ and ‘How much risk do I have in the process that I think this revenue will exist?’” Erum Kidwai // Staff Photographer More than 50 attorneys and business professionals LAW IN THE BIG LEAGUES: Miami Law alumnus and former Chicago Bears coach Mark Treswere in attendance, as well as some interested students man speaks at the Entertainment and Sports Law Symposium Friday morning. from UM School of Law.

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes sheds light on sexual, domestic violence By Ritika Malkani Contributing News Writer

niversity of Miami students, faculty and administrators gathered around the Rock and Foote Green on Thursday for the seventh annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, held by the counseling center’s Counseling Outreach Peer Education program (COPE). The event was created by a group of men in 2001 to bring attention to issues related to sexual violence against women and gives participants a chance to figuratively and literally “walk a mile in her shoes.” One-inch red heels were provided for all participants, both men and women. Sabrina Xiao, a sophomore and outreach program chair of COPE, said the event was important not only to link students to the counseling center, but also to break stereotypes about sexual violence.

Although the majority of sexual violence is gender-based and against women, there are male victims of rape and sexual assault, as well. This is something Xiao said is important to recognize. “We realize that rape happens to men too,” Xiao said. COPE again partnered with the SafeSpace Foundation, a non-profit organization that aims to empower, educate and advocate for victims of sexual and domestic violence. At the event, SafeSpace accepted donations for toiletries and COPE sold “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” T-shirts for $5. The event kicked off with welcome remarks by Kim Martin, COPE coordinator at the Counseling Center, and an introduction to the SafeSpace Foundation by board member Alicia Consuegra. The keynote speaker for the evening was Neil Irvin, executive director of Men Can Stop Rape and a prominent figure in the field of sexual violence prevention. While posing for pictures in his red heels, UM Housing and Residential Life employee Ross Logan said the walk was a small, yet powerful experience for him and many other participants. “Men don’t know what women go through every single day,” Logan said. Among the attendees and sponsors was the UM Police Department, who handed out the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, which is released each Oc-

UMPD Crime Prevention Officer John Gulla emphasized the importance of all students knowing about the resources available on campus. “We don’t just want survivors of sexual violence looking for this information,” Gulla said, adding that everyone can and should be part of the solution by knowing how to help. Gulla is a member of the President’s Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence Prevention and Education. The coalition is comprised of members of the student

body, faculty and administration. Martin is also a member of the coalition. The Butler Center for Service and Leadership, the Association of Greek Letter Organizations, the Interfraternity Council, the Office of Housing and Residential Life, the Student Health Center, the Division of Student Affairs, the President’s Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence Prevention and Education, the Panhellenic Association, It’s On Us and the Women’s Commission all sponsored the event.

Annual Relay for Life event raises cancer awareness, funds By Jackie Yang Opinion Editor

undreds of students participated in the annual Relay for Life fundraiser Friday on the Foote Green, where the grass was lined with canopy tents and white luminarias, small candle lanterns made from paper bags. The luminarias were lit during the evening Luminaria Ceremony in honor of cancer survivors and in memory of those who had passed away from cancer. The event lasted from 4 p.m. to midnight, a change from last year’s Relay, which lasted from noon to midnight on a Saturday. A total of 46 teams comprised of 622 total participants have raised at least $36,000 toward the American Cancer Society. A large portion of the credit-card proceeds from the day of the event have yet to be counted toward that total, and the upfront costs of putting on the event were largely sponsored by the Butler Center for Service and Leadership, Sylvester Com-

prehensive Cancer Center, the Student Activities Fee Allocation Committee and Student Government. Outside prize sponsorship was received from SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Mellow Mushroom, Vizcaya Museum & Gardens and other local businesses. The community fundraising event is organized each year at the University of Miami by a volunteer Event Leadership Team (ELT). According to overall Event Lead Danielle Sheerer, team involvement and student engagement were a lot stronger this year, despite the fact that the event was shorter and held on a weekday. This year, the Butler Center, the Miller School of Medicine and the University of Miami School of Law were among the participating teams. Other teams were comprised of a variety of Greek student associations, interest clubs and residential colleges. The ELT and the UM Law Team came in first and second in fundraising, with the Alpha Delta Pi sorority coming in third. Many participating teams offered food and desserts, but the event also featured more creative fundraising ideas, including a “jail and bail” fundraising activity, a dominoes tournament and a rock climbing wall. The main stage featured performances from student dance team Miami Motion, a “Miss Relay” drag-queen competition and a Pantene Beautiful Lengths hair-donation challenge.

Sheerer said that she hoped Relay would continue to increase its reach around campus. “We want to make this event something that people are excited about,” Sheerer said. “It’s really about bringing the campus together and building a strong community for our campus survivors. A friend of mine was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a junior. You always think about your grandparents or older people being diagnosed; having it be a peer was really hitting.” In fact, campus survivors played a part in leading the event this year. Freshman Andres Hidalgo, who was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia four years ago and finished treatment last summer, worked with Sheerer on the ELT this year along with fellow freshman and survivor Agustin Rodriguez Granda. “Participating in this year’s Relay was truly a wonderful experience,” Hidalgo said. “This being my first Relay, I was blessed to be able to share my story as well as hear the story of other survivors who had been affected by cancer. I am thankful that I was able to work with members of the ELT to make this year’s Relay a success.”

The law, known as House Bill 2 (HB2), actually prohibits governments from protecting their constituents. This bill is a human rights disaster. The outcry against HB2 has been immense. According to the Daily Mail, more than 100 business leaders have spoken out against the law, and several big corporations like Lionsgate, PayPal and Braeburn Pharmaceuticals have pulled projects that would have helped spur the economy. Discrimination has proven bad for business. Yet, last Tuesday, the Mississippi state government also enacted a law allowing businesses to refuse service to gay people as a “religious objection.” For the last several decades, the LGBT community’s lobbying efforts have been overwhelmingly focused on passing marriage equality. There were applications for appeals to the Supreme Court on the issue since the 1970s. When the Supreme Court finally heard the arguments and affirmed the right of same-sex couples across the United States to marry in Obergefell v. Hodges last spring, it was a huge success. Americans finally felt like we conquered the human rights challenge of our time, and our fellow citizens got the recognition and rights they deserved. The focus on marriage equality, however, has overshadowed some serious challenges that the LGBT community still faces. The LGBT community has never seen marriage as the final stop on the road to equality, but the next challenge is ensuring that the rest of America does not become

complacent and allow opponents of LGBT rights to surreptitiously pass oppressive laws while the public attention is elsewhere. Persistent gaps in protections for LGBT people range over a whole host of issues, including workplace discrimination, bullying protection, housing discrimination, hate-crime prevention, healthcare access and so-called “religious exemptions.” The NC law is an example of the currently pervasive “bathroom bills,” which force trans people to use the bathrooms of the sex they were assigned at birth. According to Vox.com, there are only 12 states that protect the rights of trans people to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity and there have been zero reported cases of sexual assault from trans people using bathrooms in those states. All policies should be based on data, and bathroom bills that target trans people have no factual or statistical basis whatsoever. These bills are based on fear mongering and hatred. Bullying and protection in schools are also important issues for both gay and transgender people. According to an August report in USA Today, 41 percent of transgender people will attempt suicide at some point in their life, nearly 10 times the rate in the general population. Many trans people and experts associate this distressingly high figure with extreme bullying, violence and hate that trans people face. Yet, according to the Movement Advancement Project (MAP), a think tank focused on LGBT rights, 24 states, including Florida, have no protections for bullying based on gender iden-

tity or sexuality. Eight states have laws prohibiting teachers and school officials from even mentioning homosexuality according to the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN), consequently stigmatizing gay people. Another egregious violation of human rights of the LGBT community is the lack of discrimination protection in the workplace. A 2011 report from the Center for American Progress found that 90 percent of transgender workers have been harassed or discriminated against in the workplace. The report also found that at least 8 percent and as much as 17 percent of LGBT people have been fired from or passed over for a job on the basis of their sexuality or gender identity. Those individuals have absolutely no legal recourse for that discrimination in 28 states, where 52 percent of LGBT people live, according to MAP. The LGBT rights movement has come a long way and has fought valiantly for decades. Hopefully, it will take us much less time to conquer the next challenges of comprehensive discrimination protection in workplaces, housing, schools, healthcare and everyday commerce. Stay vigilant in supporting your LGBT friends and family by supporting businesses that take a stand for equality, lobbying for enumerated bullying protections in your local school and promoting inclusive environments in your workplaces, clubs and classrooms.

The presentation of this dish is artful but sparse: just six croquettes and a sauce bowl. On their own, the bite-sized croquettes are crisp and rich. Fatty and salty flavors dominate, but there are subtle spices in the chorizo. The dollop of aioli on top adds the right amount of moisture to eat them without additional condiments. When dipped in the guava sauce, however, they become the perfect bite: sweet and unctuous. This dish surpasses the rest, in both flavor and innovation.

This dish is a collection of Garzón’s iconic offerings: two different empanadas, chorizo and blood sausage, truffle fries with bleu cheese, and skirt steak. It isn’t the most colorful dish, but what it lacks in chromatics, it makes up for in taste. The empanadas are savory and salty, especially the one filled with sharp cheese and onion. Both varieties of sausage are moist and well-spiced. The fries, like the croquettes, are perfectly crisp and topped with not-too-tangy bleu. The skirt steak is, unfortunately, the disappointment of the plate. While it has a rich, charred flavor, the texture is a bit gummy.

Hurricanes hold first public scrimmage since Mark Richt’s arrival

Miami performs well in singles play, winning match against Louisville

By Mark Singer Sports Editor

round 2,500 Miami Hurricanes fans got their first look at the football team since coach Mark Richt took over with an open scrimmage at Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach on a sunny Saturday afternoon. No one side came away clearly superior in Miami’s second scrimmage of the spring, as the team “got a few cheers for the offense, got a few cheers for the defense,” according to Richt. “Lot of nice plays [on] both sides of the ball,” Miami’s new coach said. The first of those nice plays was a 40-yard pass from quarterback Brad Kaaya that hit wide receiver Stacy Coley in stride near the left sideline. Kaaya hooked up with Coley for another big gain a little later, but the cheers quickly turned to fearful gasps when Miami’s No. 1 receiver stayed on the ground after being tackled near the end zone. Coley eventually stood up and walked with help to the sideline, where two trainers looked at his right hamstring. “It looked like he tweaked his hamstring a little bit. I don’t think it’s too severe,” Richt said afterwards of Coley’s injury. “Stacy’s had a great spring so far. I’m sad that he had that happen to him because he’s really played well.” The 6-foot-1, 187-pound receiver out of Pompano Beach did not re-

turn to the scrimmage following the hit. Coley missed most of the team’s first four games last season with an injured hamstring. Other than Coley, Richt said, “everything went well on the injury front.” Despite Coley’s absence, Kaaya had an impressive performance – for the most part. The defense racked up eight sacks on the day with most of them coming against Kaaya. When he wasn’t being “sacked” – the defense did not actually bring Kaaya to the ground – Miami’s star quarterback was finding open players, ending the scrimmage 16-of-21 for 232 yards and three touchdowns. Miami’s defensive line recorded seven of the team’s eight sacks, with cornerback Sheldrick Redwine responsible for the other one. Demetrius Jackson, Al-Quadin Muhammad and Chad Thomas all had two sacks while RJ McIntosh had one. “Lot of times the pocket was real pretty, and some times it wasn’t so nice,” Richt said of the defensive pressure on the quarterback. “Some of that is Brad’s got to get rid of the ball and then some of that is that pocket squeezing on him and him not wanting to throw the ball up for grabs.” While Kaaya didn’t throw errant passes, the same can’t be said for backup quarterback Vincent Testaverde, who threw two intercep-

tions on nine attempts. Defensive back Robert Knowles was on the receiving end of both interceptions, and ran the second one into the end zone for a pick-six. Kaaya’s last touchdown was the play of the day, but because of the catch, not his throw. Running back Mark Walton curled out of backfield seven yards out of the end zone and hauled in a left-handed grab for his only score of the day. Walton had five catches for 12 yards and three carries for 40 yards in the scrimmage. “Yeah, he did a nice job,” Richt said of Walton. “Mark has really proved that he can make something out of nothing. He’s got a toughness about him. I liked the way he was playing.” All in all Richt thought “it was good to get in front of a crowd,” and the fans enjoyed their first glimpse at this year’s Hurricanes squad. “I’ve been wanting to see them play since they hired Richt. I thought they were great,” said 28-year-old fan Josh White. “Kaaya is one of the best quarterbacks in the country. I feel good about the team.” The Hurricanes finish their spring schedule with the spring game at 2 p.m. next Saturday at Lockhart Stadium. The game is open to the public and will also be aired live on ESPN3.

Miami (8-12, 3-7) got off to a poor start, losing badly in the doubles point. Junior Jesse Flores and No. 43 sophomore Piotr Lomacki got behind early and were unable to bounce back, losing their match 6-3. The duo of freshmen Fermin Calvo and sophomore Nile Clark also struggled, eventually losing 6-1. The Canes rebounded in singles play. Sophomore Niclas Genovese earned his first win of the season, as he defeated Christian Haushammer in two sets, 6-3, 6-0. Bouncing back from his doubles loss, Lomacki was much more effective in his singles play, winning his match in two swift sets. Calvo was unable to keep the Canes’ momentum going when he lost in two sets, tying the overall match 2-2. The Canes proceeded to blow away Louisville (13-15, 0-10) as Bernard Tefel, Max Andrews and Flores all won their matches, giving Miami the 5-2 victory.

Friday at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center. The Canes once again fell behind, but this time they could not come back for the win. Miami lost the doubles point and the first singles match to go down 2-0. “We didn’t play very well, and we were a little bit flat at the beginning. The guys were really slow to start, but we got a little bit of momentum and played better to make it competitive. But that’s still not the way we can play doubles,” Rincon said to HurricaneSports.com. The Canes played hard in the remainder of the match, but their comeback effort fell short. Calvo, Tefel and Lomacki each won their match to tie it 3-3. The contest came down to a match between Genovese and Chris Mikrovas. Genovese played well, but he eventually lost in three sets, 6-4, 6-7 and 6-4. The Canes next play Virginia Tech at 1 p.m. on Friday in Blacksburg, Virginia.

TRACK AND FIELD

Seniors go out on high note in last home meet of season By Chloe Harrison Senior Sports Writer

his weekend’s Hurricane Alumni Invitational was the last home meet of the season for the Miami Hurricanes track and field team. Many former Canes came home to watch record-breaking performances and to see the seniors give it their all one last time. The meet began Friday with field events. Precious Ogunleye finished fourth in the women’s hammer throw with a season-best 58.80 meters; she placed third in the women’s discus Saturday with a throw of 46.24 meters. The decathlon and heptathlon also

began on Friday, featuring Andreas Christodoulou in the former and Stefani Kerrison and Amy Taintor in the latter. Christodoulou won the decathlon, racking up 7,060 points to place second in school history. Kerrison placed third in the heptathlon with 4,718 points and Taintor finished fifth with 2,900 points. Kerrison’s point total is the fourth-best in UM history. After the first day of events, the team hosted the annual alumni reception. Summer and Winter Olympian Lauryn Williams and former coach Mike Ward were among track and field alumni in attendance. Williams also provided analysis for ESPN3 on the final day of events Saturday. Saturday honored the senior track class, some of whom are the best athletes in program history. Those who completed their final home meet of their careers were Dakota DaileyHarris, John-Patrick Friday, Jamika Glades, TeQuille Jackson, Innocent Jacob, Kevin Marsh, Alysha Newman, Ogunleye, Tiffany Okieme, Joseph Ryan, Isaiah Simmons, Kelly Williamson, Anthony Wolliston and Alexis Wright. The seniors put on a show in Coral Gables one last time. Newman

crushed the women’s pole vault and did more than just win the competition with a new personal-best. Her vault of 4.60 meters is the new ACC record, the new Canadian national record, the NCAA-leading vault and the fourthbest vault in the world this year. Dailey-Harris set a new school record of 1.85 meters in her high-jump win. The jump meets the Olympic standard for Dailey-Harris to compete in this year’s Olympic Trials. Friday finished second in the high jump at 2.11 meters and third in the long jump with a season-best 7.44 meters. Now that his personal-best high jump is the second-best jump in UM history, Friday is in the top five in program history in the high jump, long jump and triple jump. The non-seniors had stellar performances as well. Shakima Wimbley, Carolyn Brown, Aiyanna Stiverne and Ebony Morrison ran the third-fastest women’s 4x100meter relay in school history, clocking in a time of 43.75 seconds. “I felt that we competed very well. Our handoffs were really good,” Morrison said. “We basically booked our ticket to [NCAA] Regionals.” Wimbley would go on to dominate the women’s 400 meters, running

a 51.62 to win the event. In the 4x400meter relay with Samantha Gonzalez, Glades and Brown, Wimbley ran a split time under 51 seconds as anchor of the team. The relay won, notching a season-best 3:31.73. “I still haven’t taken it all in,” Wimbley said. “What it shows me is that hard work and dedication can take you further than you’ve ever dreamed.”

Freshman Anne Den Otter earned a women’s 5,000-meter victory with a personal-best 18:14.36. Sean Grossman won the men’s 5,000 meter at 15:19.25 and third in the 1,500 meter with a season-best 4:00.06.

Miami Hurricanes beat Notre Dame in snowy 1-game series By Tej Joshi Staff Writer

he No. 2 Hurricanes easily defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 10-2 Sunday afternoon in a one-game series. The series was originally slated to be three games, but the snow in South Bend said otherwise. Weather continued to be a concern throughout the game. There were winds of 17 mph and heavy rain with temperatures in the 30s. Left-handed sophomore Michael Mediavilla led the Canes to their ninth-consecutive victory, only giving up one run on four hits in six innings. The Canes’ offense gave Mediavilla plenty of breathing room nonetheless. Sophomore leadoff batter Carl

CHILLING OUT: Members of the men’s baseball team play in the snowfall in Notre Dame Saturday. Two of the baseball games were cancelled due to the inclement weather.

Chester reached base five times and junior catcher Zack Collins recorded five RBI. Notre Dame (16-12, 6-7) opened the game with Peter Solomon at the mound. Miami batters had success against him in the first, as Chester dropped a shot into right field for a single to open the game. This was followed by a

Christopher Barr bunt, which was mishandled by the Irish catcher to allow Chester to cross the plate. The Irish tied it in the second on a solo home run by Miami native Ricky Sanchez, his first of the season. The rain intensified in the third inning, but the Canes were still able to retake the lead. With two runners in scoring position, Collins whacked a two-run double off the wall in right-center. Collins scored on an RBI single by senior shortstop Brandon Lopez to make it 4-1. The game remained stagnant until the sixth inning, when a three-run homer from Collins extended Miami’s lead to 7-1. Freshman righty Andrew Cabezas filled in for Mediavilla coming out of the seventh inning stretch. Cabezas gave up a run on two hits and a walk to go with just one out. Fellow right-handed freshman Frankie Bartow came in for Cabezas and recorded the last two outs in the seventh as well as a scoreless bottom of the eighth. Both offenses were quiet until the ninth inning, when the Canes (25-4, 11-2) were able to add another three runs to their lead. With the bases loaded, redshirt junior third baseman Edgar Michelangeli dropped a bases-clearing double into deep left field. Right-handed freshman Isaiah Musa finished off the Irish with a clean ninth inning. The Canes next play Nova Southeastern at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at Mark Light Field.

DEAR V

INVOLVED

WITH THE AWARD-WINNING

IBIS

Dear V, Lately, my boyfriend has been pushing for us to have sex without a condom. I trust him and we’ve been dating for years, so I’m not afraid of STIs. That said, though, I’m not on birth control. I used to be on the pill, but I went off it because it made me really moody. He says he’ll pull out, but I don’t want to risk getting pregnant. I’m wondering what to do. I could try the pill again or something else. But it just feels risky. He says condoms are uncomfortable and there’s such a small chance I’ll get pregnant anyway. I feel bad that I’m stopping sex from being more enjoyable for him. Should we go without a condom? Sincerely, Bearing the Bare Dear Bearing the Bare, I can hear the sounds of a baby’s wailing cry at 4 a.m. echoing far off in the distance. Seriously, though, are you ready for thousands of dollars’ worth of diapers, formula, toys and daycare and for the next 18 years of your life to be dedicated to a smaller version of you? No? Then don’t risk it. Simple. Sure, sex does feel better without a condom – I’ll give your boyfriend that. But as Weezy says, “Safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex. ‘Cause you don’t want that late text, that ‘I think I’m late’ text.” There are plenty of joys that come with a baby. I’m not ragging on anyone who chooses to have a child when they’re young, that’s their choice and

HIRING POSITIONS FOR 2016-2017 STAFF I’m glad they’re happy. However, based on what you said, it sounds like that’s not what you want in life right now and you’re not ready to have a child. There’s no 100-percent guarantee when you go without protection. Besides, no matter how much you trust your boyfriend, there’s always the risk of getting some unsavory red bumps and rashes down there. STIs are life-long commitments, too. Just instead of diapers, you get ointments and medicine. But, if you’re willing to risk STIs and are only concerned about pregnancy, you should consider taking the pill again or try some other birth-control options. Between insertable rings and devices, female condoms, injections or what have you, there are just too many options to make excuses and gamble with your future. Sure, kids are great. And hey, maybe your guy’s “pull-out game” is strong like he says. But don’t risk a baby if you’re not ready yet and don’t risk your future for momentary pleasure. -V
