OPEN DISCUSSION: Jeremy Penn, President of UPride, discusses his opinion of how campus administration handles personal matters related to discrimination during the Campus Dialogue Wednesday evening in the Shalala Student Center East Ballroom. The dialogue encouraged an open forum between students, faculty and administration regarding the recent issues occurring at universities across the nation.
Forum participants voice opinions on diversity, inclusiveness By David Ufberg Senior News Writer
F
ollowing a student-led rally on Friday in support of the students who have protested racism at college campuses including the University of Missouri and Yale University, administrators, faculty and students gathered to talk about the topic on Wednesday afternoon. United Black Students (UBS) hosted the discussion at the Shalala Student Center to give students and faculty of the University of Miami a forum in which they could voice their opinions on the issues of race and diversity on college campuses. The debatestyle discussion was led by Krista Anderson, recording secretary for UBS, who prefaced the event with a warning that all arguments should be made with respect. “There will be a lot of disagreement because these are very hot topics,” she said.
Anderson posed questions to the crowd of about 200 to facilitate the discussion. The first question regarded the distinction between verbal harassment and freedom of expression. “When [freedom of expression] is harmful to other people, that’s when the right ends,” freshman Meredith Morris said. As the discussion went on, more students pitched in. Sophomore Demba Kah asserted that students bear the burden of promoting positive social change by voicing their opinions even if they are not with the majority. “Disagreement stimulates discourse, and discourse in turn stimulates change,” she said. Marvin Dawkins, professor of sociology, brought up the point that dealing with discrimination that isn’t overt poses a real challenge. “Most of what is objectionable is not going to be explicit, it’s going to be implicit … [How can we be] able to recognize implicit bias, and how do we deal with that? That becomes a more difficult issue and it happens every day.” After a successful talk with plenty of intellectual exchange, Anderson noted the ultimate objective of the forum. “Hopefully an outcome will be some more understanding and insight on what diversity and inclusiveness is,” she said. “That’s what we’re all about.”
The campus has plans to construct two new residential housing villages: Ibis Village for upperclassmen and Freshman Village for first-years. Unveiled to the Student Government senators, the villages will consist of apartments and suites. The strategic plan for the student housing facilities was explained by Executive Director of Housing and Residential Life James Smart. The plan is to start construction on Ibis Village in the summer of 2016, with the estimated date of completion being June 2018. “For upperclassmen, there will be two buildings in the Ibis village: the Merrick Apartments and Gables Suites,” Smart said. “There will be many features such as a great room, a dining hall and hopefully a LGBT administration office on the ground floor.” A rendering of the building could not be provided as plans are still in the initial stages and are subject to change. Ibis Village, an estimated $167.2 million project, would be located on Dickinson Drive to the left of Pavia Garage and what will be the newly-built Merrick Garage. The Merrick Apartments would be similar to some of the apartments in the existing University Village: an option of a four-bedroom apartment with a shared living room or a one-bedroom apartment. The Gables Suites would be similar to existing suites on campus with a shared bathroom but would include a shared living room as well. As discussed by President Julio Frenk earlier in the semester, the plan is for all future buildings to be gender-neutral. The rooms in the Freshman Village will have the same layout as the rooms in the Stanford and Hecht Residential Colleges, but they plan to have more than one bathroom per floor rather than the current communal bathroom setup. The Freshman Village will be located near the current dormitories. The current Stanford and Hecht buildings will be torn down but their names will be preserved. How they will be preserved has yet to be discussed. Smart hopes that construction will start in 2018 and will be completed by 2020. “We are keeping Eaton, Mahoney and Pearson though, as they are historical,”

BUILDING THE FUTURE: James Smart, executive director for Housing and Residential Life, speaks at the weekly senate meeting in the Shalala Student Center Tuesday evening about upcoming housing construction. Housing and Residential Life aims to improve community interaction with plans to build more community spaces such as conference, study and multipurpose rooms. Smart said. “They have old bones but are important to us.” All buildings will be outfitted with impact-proof glass and hurricane shutters, which must be installed by law in Florida. The windows will be able to withstand a category-three hurricane. Student Government was to fit buildings with LED lighting for environmental sustainability, and that remains the plan, according to Smart. “Our goal is to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) silver [certified],” he said. In addition to the existing University Village and North Village, which is the Mahoney-Pearson dormitories, the campus hopes to have four villages by the end of 2020.
REFERENDUM
Senators amended the constitution regarding when students submit a referendum initiation. A referendum submitted by the student body can only be initiated in the spring semester of every school year and the campaign must have at least 500 students’ identification numbers in support of the petition. This amendment came after the debacle during the Ibis Yearbook and Distraction Magazine referendums, in which some senators were not happy that the two student publications requested additional funding. The amendment also states that the Elections Commission will reserve the right to request a review of the budget of any organization seeking additional funding. Furthermore, before being able to vote on the proposed referendum, students must vote for the future president, vice president and treasurer of Student Government.

Candlelight vigil laments tragedies in Paris, Beirut By Marcus Lim Staff Writer
O
n a rainy night, the breezeway was illuminated with bright candles as more than 100 members of the university stood united and gathered to pay their respects to the lives lost during the tragic events that recently occurred in Paris and Beirut. The vigil, organized by the Council of International Students and Organizations (COISO) and the International Student and Scholars Services (ISSS), included speakers with personal ties to the cities that were attacked by terrorists last week such as the counsul general of France in Miami Philippe Létrilliart. Channeling the cries of the fallen on a solemn night, they spoke about the horrific injustice that their compatriots suffered. “This vigil is meant to unite the University of Miami community [and have them] come together
and send peace and love around the world,” said Stephanie Foster, the assistant director of ISSS. “This event is important to remember the innocent victims and to find some light in the darkness.” The atmosphere was gloomy but resolute. Speakers and students were sad, but refused to be driven by fear. With soft music playing in the background and the flags of France and Lebanon waving, the message was clear: members of University of Miami community condemned the recent acts of terrorism. Patricia Whitely, the vice president of Student Affairs, lamented the memory of the candlelight vigil held after the attacks of Sept. 11 and offered condolences to the university’s diverse community of students from more than 110 different countries. “We are there for you,” Whitely said. “We will hold each other close and pray that this incredible oppression leaves from our world quickly.” Melyssa Haffaf, a graduate student studying French at the university and an assistant to the director of the French undergraduate program, gave a powerful speech on behalf of the French students on campus. “Our loved ones are going through incredibly distressing times,” Haffaf said. “It is easy to feel lost and isolated, but we stand united against this senseless violence.

LIGHTING THE NIGHT: Sophomore David Lin and junior Aalekhya Reddam light the candles for Wednesday evening’s candlelight vigil on the Rock. ‘In a gentle way, you can shake the world.’” Terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) claimed responsibly for the bloodshed that happened last week. They killed more than 130 people in Paris through simultaneous attacks, more than 43 people in southern Beirut and 224 people on a Russian charter plane last month. Their act of violence was meant to instill fear, yet according to Chelsea-Jane Arcalas, public relations chair of COISO, the event was for
the students to stand defiantly and refuse to allow ISIL tactics scare them. “In times like [these] of terror and evil, I think it’s important for us as a community to do all that we can to show that we are here for each other and that we are here for those who have been affected,” Arcalas said. “Instead of being scared, we should be vigilant. We should stand with strength and hope rather than be driven by fear. This event here shows that we stand together and we must look out for each other.”
The world has stood united against the dreadful events. Facebook added a feature that allowed users to add a filter of the French flag to their profile pictures; landmarks around the world displayed the French colors; athletic events have held moments of silent reflection and in Tuesday’s soccer game between the men’s national teams of France and England, many of the 90,000 fans from both sides in Wembley Stadium in London sang “La Marseillaise,” the French national anthem. Lebanese student Daniel Moubayed spoke on behalf of those who suffered in Beirut. “As a Lebanese American and a student here, it shows now more than ever that we have to show our support and cooperation for those affected by trouble around the world,” Moubayed said. “Humanity and compassion is what is needed to be expressed so that we can stand in solidarity with those in Beruit, in Paris and all over the world.” “It was as if the skies themselves were crying over the loss of lives,” COISO Secretary Christina Stamatiou said. “It is important for us as students of Miami to understand the severity of what is going on and to unite as a campus community to show that we care. And we are hurting too.”

‘Hunting Ground’ addresses sexual assault on college campuses By Amanda Herrera Contributing News Writer
T
he screening of a documentary film about how the issue of sexual assault is handled in college communities was followed by a discussion of the topic on Tuesday afternoon. The conversation followed the screening of “The Hunting Ground” at the Cosford Cinema, which was presented by the student
organization Canes Consent. It focused on how college campuses, including the University of Miami, can better meet the needs of sexual assault survivors. The film featured stories of women who had experienced sexual assault and were ignored or mishandled by their college’s administration in order to keep the school’s sexual assault statistics low. According to the documentary, a staggering amount of sexual assaults were reported to campus officials throughout a number of years with a significantly low result of consequence for the perpetrators. It also alludes to administrations’ wariness over sexual assault claims due to fear of false reporting when only 2 to 7 percent of sexual assaults reported are false. Women and Gender Studies Professor Katharine Westaway introduced the film to the audience and said that, according to the
Association of American Universities, 27 percent of undergraduate women and 5 percent of undergraduate men will be sexually assaulted before they earn their degree. “That means that 389 women this year and 68 men will be assaulted at UM,” Westaway said. The documentary highlighted the journey of two sexual assault survivors to make a change on college campuses by helping other survivors file Title IX complaints against the institutions for their failure to punish the alleged perpetrators of the assault. Title IX was created to protect students from discrimination of any sort while they pursue their education. UM has recently hired a full-time Title IX employee in charge of making sure this portion of the Educational Amendments of 1972 is upheld. However, the employee works in the Dean of Students
Office, where many Title IX complaints are sent, so there is a conflict of interest according to Westaway. Students at the screening seemed to have strong emotions at the end of the documentary, including UM senior Ja’Shoundra Pouncy, who described herself as “feeling a rush of anger flow.” She said she believes the documentary is a great beginning for a conversation to happen within the University of Miami community. “The movie highlights a point that we all want to believe, that rape and sexual assault culture is not real and cannot happen to us or those close to us,” Pouncy said. “We also like to think that, if something were to happen to us or our friends, justice would be served. However, the movie shows that we have a false sense of security about all of it.”

President’s 100 learn self-defense methods in case of armed intruder By Marcus Lim Staff Writer
T
Evelyn Choi // Staff Photographer
he President’s 100 (P100) were taught the proper procedures to follow in the event of an active shooter arriving on campus on Wednesday night. The P100 are ambassadors to the university who give tours around campus to guests and prospective students. They were taught by Sean Fay, coordinator from the office of emergency management, that if an
CAMPUS LIFE armed intruder is found on campus, they have three safety measures to follow called “The Three Outs:” Get out, hide out and act out. The former firefighter described shooters as having no specific goal in mind, only to unleash as much damage as they can. Due to them having the unfair advantage of a weapon, confrontation with the assailant is not advised. Hence “The Three Outs.” The first involves evacuating: ambassadors are to get their tour group and find an escape route that will allow them to avoid crossing paths with the shooter. “If you aren’t there, you can’t be shot,” Fay said. “Get out as fast as possible and get far away. As far as the Starbucks opposite campus.” He stressed that the priority is always to evacuate. However, if that is not an option, then the next is to hide and barricade the doors by improvising with any heavy items in the vicinity. The shooter most likely
would not waste time trying to get into a locked door. They want to cause as much hurt as they can in the short amount of time they have before authorities arrive. “You can even use your textbook and jam it under the door,” said Fay. “You must hide. Playing dead is not an option. You may end up dead.” The last one, “Act Out,” is not encouraged. Fay stressed that it should only be used as a last resort. As it states, you should act out by trying to disarm the assailant. “You can kick, punch, bite, wherever it is – make it count. Do not fight fair, for the sake of your parents and your brother,” Fay said. “Get the gun away from the person. Do not hold it. If the police comes and sees you, it will not go well for you.” The P100 were encouraged to always think of a safe route when conducting their tours. If there are any emergencies, students can call 800-227-0354, the emergency hotline.

Entrepreneurs discuss fundraising for startup companies By David Ufberg Senior News Writer
T
he Toppel Career Center hosted three financiers from Miami to discuss the process of fundraising and what it takes to raise money for a startup on Tuesday. The big-time investors included Jason Shuman, a recent graduate of the University of Miami, Bob Williamson, the treasurer of private investing group New World Angels and Jack Karabees, an investor with the Miami Innovation Fund. Shuman said he kept busy while studying at UM by launching a casual footwear company called Category Five, which developed a presence in 10 states and earned a six-figure cumulative revenue. He graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship and Marketing in 2013. In the discussion, he emphasized the importance of preparedness when he was pitching an idea to his investment group, Corigin Ventures. “We want to know that you understand your business,” Shuman said. “I want to be able to see if I can put
you off your game or get you off script.” Williamson, treasurer of New World Angels, discussed the importance of networking and relationships in venture capitalism, where a mutual friend can get entrepreneurs in touch with investors. “The introduction is terribly important,” Williamson said. “Looking back at the deals we’ve done, they all had some sort of sponsorship [from an entrepreneur we know, a fellow investor, etc.] in the last three or four years.” “I would say 95 percent of my meetings are done via introduction,” Shuman said. The third panelist, Jack Karabees, an investor with Miami Innovation Fund, talked about the lengthy fundraising process. “You’re going to make 50 to 100 presentations to qualified investors … That’s going to take a year, year and a half,” he said. “If you’ve made your first presentation last week, you’re 15 months away from a wire, assuming everything goes flawless in the next 15 months.” Before closing, Shuman discussed what he looks for in a pitch by an entrepreneur seeking an investment. “Why you? What’s the advantage that you specifically have over the next person that’s coming in and what’s the secret sauce behind the business?” he said. The three financiers encouraged young entrepreneurs to reach out to investment groups and seek to establish a firm grounding from which their businesses can take off.

Show genuine gratitude this Thanksgiving holiday
B
e polite, show your manners and above all else, say “please” and “thank you.” The virtues drilled into us as children may have once been seen as By Grace Wehniainen paramount, but who could Contributing Columnist have predicted that these many expressions of thanks would eventually lose their meaningful touch? Today, perhaps because we are so used to saying the golden words, we sometimes forget to fortify
our thanks with actual thankful behaviors. Too often, we follow up our verbal thanks with actions that show just about anything but gratitude — whether by rebuffing our parents’ attempts at a conversation after thanking them for a bank deposit or thanking service employees only to leave a messy table for them to clean up minutes later. Of course, if you’re in a professional environment, even that minimal “thanks” might be a lot to ask for. When it comes to writing effective work emails for example, employees are advised against thanking too much in order to avoid being overly solicitous. In 2012, a John Templeton Foundation survey of more than 2000 working adults found that only 10 percent said thanks to a colleague every day, further illustrating that our daily lives are lacking in demonstrations of gratitude. This is disheartening, especially when one considers just how beneficial a true show of thanks can be. According to a 2015 study conducted by the University of Georgia, expression of spousal gratitude was the single best predictor of marital quality. If couples can benefit from expressing thanks to one
another, it only follows that friends, classmates and colleagues should be able to as well. Showing more gratitude may be as simple as saying thanks where thanks is deserved in tandem with actions and behaviors that echo that sentiment. It might mean calling your parents and spending more time with them to show your gratitude for just how helpful they are instead of offering a quick and breezy “thank you” every time they fork over money. It might mean participating more in class, lending a hand when needed or cleaning up your trash in the dining hall, making employees’ jobs a bit easier. Of course, verbally offering your thanks is hardly a paltry act. In fact, when combined with thankful behaviors, it can go a long way. In any case, it’s the very least you can do to show your appreciation when other methods fall short. This Thanksgiving, take some time to reevaluate how you show your thanks — it might just be one of the most effective strategies for work, friends and relationships around.

CAMPUS LIFE
Reach out to others in times of loneliness
I
still remember the day I moved into my freshman dorm room at the University of Miami. After a long day of moving boxes and unpacking clothes, my parents gave me a kiss goodbye and before I knew it, they were gone. There I was: alone in a bedroom with a girl I had just met and unused bedsheets yet to be worn out by a long night’s sleep. By Natalie Hilvert Although I spent my summer preparing for my Contributing Columnist impending independent life, that first night of sleep in my new bed was terrifying. In the morning, I would not wake up to my parents making coffee in the kitchen and my dog greeting me at the bottom of the stairs. I’m sure students around campus currently feel the exact same way as I did my first night in Hecht. You don’t have to be a freshman to feel lonely; you could be a sophomore struggling to decide on a major, a junior living in your own apartment for the first time or even a president of a student organization with a myriad of friends. If at this moment you feel like you’re struggling to have meaningful connections with people, you first need to remember one thing: it’s not just you. Besides my first night in the dorms, the period of time that I felt lonelier than I’d ever been was my second semester of sophomore year. I had taken on
way too many commitments and felt overwhelmed and overworked. I felt isolated and believed that nobody truly understood how I was feeling. That was until I finally opened up to my roommate. She revealed to me that she felt the same exact way as I did. If I had not said anything, neither of us would have known we were going through similar issues. After that, we were able to help each other through our personal struggles and provide a mutual support system when times became rough. If you feel lonely, depressed or anxious, there are people there to help you. Your roommate, your RA, your best friend or a counselor at the Counseling Center can immediately be by your side. The best way to combat loneliness is by seeking a helping hand. It might be scary at first, but it will do nothing but good. “When I feel lonely, I always try to reach out to my friends,” said Broghan Phelan, a junior majoring in musical theatre. “I surround myself with other people so that I’m not thinking about the people I miss.” While Phelan has a close relationship with her family as well as with her long-distance boyfriend in her home state of Indiana, she still feels lonely during the holiday season. Like many students, Broghan actively seeks interaction in order to distract herself from loneliness. Being lonely is not limited to lacking human companionship. You could be surrounded by friends but still feel like you cannot talk to anyone. You have to remember that although it might not seem like it, there is always someone you can lean on. This campus is full of mentors, friends and confidants. It might take a little bit of searching, but I promise you will be able to find someone to comfort you. You are not alone.

Sugar tax incentivizes healthier consumption
A
few days prior to the commencement of the annual G20 Summit in Turkey, experts on diabetes urged world leaders to take a stand against this ballooning global health epidemic. Although similar rhetoric and subsequent calls to action are now commonplace, due to the rapid By Matthew Brotz growth of obesity and diabetes in the UnitContributing Columnist ed States and around the world, one proposed solution has generated an unusually substantial amount of controversy: a sugar tax. While it is no secret that frequent consumption of sugary foods and beverages and the increasing popularity of such items have played a role in the recent spike in diabetes diagnoses, the proposition of placing a tax on such sugary products as a way to cure to this public health crisis has been met with spirited debate. Critics claim that a sugar tax would be regressive and unfair, placing the biggest burden on low-income families who have
less disposable income and would have to pay more for their usual food items. Not surprisingly, many people in the food industry oppose the tax as well. Most recently, the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister David Cameron lashed out strongly against a sugar tax despite the results of a poll revealing that more than 50 percent of British voters support such a measure. However, what critics fail to comprehend is that a sugar tax is only meant to serve as a mechanism to impact the purchasing habits of lower class families who are at higher risk of obesity and unhealthy lifestyles. It only makes sense that if sugar-laden food and beverages become more expensive and therefore more cumbersome on people’s wallets, those same individuals will be more likely to seek out cheaper, healthier alternatives. The logic of a sugar tax lies in its power to encourage better dietary choices through the financial self-interest of consumers, especially those living paycheck to paycheck on highly restricted budgets. Although it is foolish to think that candy bars and sodas are the sole cause of diabetes, a tax on sugar does have the potential to abate what is arguably the most significant environmental contributor to this deadly condition. In addition, this means of taxation avoids methods that some civil libertarians deem to be overly dogmatic and controlling, such as the strict limits Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of New York City, attempted to place to limit the size of sodas that merchants could legally sell to consumers. Freedom is a coveted ideal that re-
30 Years of Scooping for the
mains strong at the very core of our nation and as such, when this sacred doctrine is perceived to be violated by more restrictions, there are bound to be feelings of indignation and a subsequent backlash. One of the strongest arguments in favor of the sugar tax is that it would avoid directly infringing upon the autonomy of the American people by simply incentivizing them to make healthier choices. Ultimately, an individual’s freedom to purchase whatever foods can be found on grocers’ shelves will remain untouched and without draconian regulations. Although new taxes are largely unpopular among the people, we must still thoughtfully evaluate the long-term benefits of a healthier society against the cost of paying slightly more for unhealthy food and beverages. In terms of cost-benefit analysis, it is clear that a sugar tax is in the best interest of the community as a whole. Not only does the tax deter consumers from unhealthy choices, but taxes in general are also an investment in our country and in our collective future. Whether for the construction of new roads or the funding of local services, citizens pay taxes to make their surroundings more livable, enjoyable and safe. This begs the question of whether being a society concerned with the good health of its members is a noble endeavor worthy of serious consideration and support. Matthew Brotz is a sophomore majoring in philosophy.

Eclipse Fashion Society hosts first runway show, displays bold collections By Shyamali Mahure Contributing Writer

STRUTTING HER STUFF: Senior Candice Louise Johnson walks the runway Monday night during the Eclipse Fashion Show, which aims to promote and inspire fashion, modeling, photography and design.
ith a vision to create the first fashion-oriented organization on campus, senior Ariel Adams started the Eclipse Fashion Society, a society open to all individuals interested in fashion, from modeling to fashion business. On Monday, the club had its first runway show, Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself, to showcase high-fashion pieces. Emceed by South Florida comedian Success Junior, the show featured nine student models, including some who view modeling as a hobby and others who hope to break into the modeling world professionally. “I think for our first show ever it went very great. A lot of the girls were nervous but we had a nice turnout,” Anthonia Moore, public relations advisor for the society said. “I think it definitely got the Eclipse Fashion Society name out there ... I genuinely see how much potential Eclipse Fashion Society has.” While the evening kicked off with some laughs and solid beats dropped by D.J. Thunder, the rosy smiles were replaced with looks of fierceness and determination as soon as the models walked on stage. The first collection on the runway was from the Royal Fudge Collection, a local Miami boutique. As models walked down the runway, they sported body-hugging dresses and skirts. Though the styles were mostly in monochromatic tones of blacks and reds, the looks were far from dull with bold statement necklaces, daringly long earrings and mysterious birdcage veils. As the sponsor of the show, Victoria’s Secret also showed off a few of its own looks from their PINK collection. With an
even balance of grace and athleticism, the models wore neon color block jackets and leggings and also brought back velvet tracksuits. Fort Lauderdale designer Ma’ne Terces’s line is self-described as a brand for “confident, sexy trendsetters who are comfortable within their skin,” and the models embodied this philosophy as they paraded down the runway. The collection played with a variety of styles and textures, from a front-tie kimono style dress to a snakeskin body-con and a glittering black and gold sheer dress. There were countless sparkles and plunging necklines in this collection, all of which the girls modeled with utter ferocity as they towered in six-inch platforms. The Lamaj Collection closed out the show in a bold finale with jet-black pieces as a part of every outfit. Some of the most outstanding looks from the collection included a peplum maxi skirt with a train, a thigh-hugging little black dress with a sheer overlay and a midi mermaid-style dress with an ornate flower on the shoulder. The show included special performances from dance groups Miami Motion and KAOS, both of whose sharp lines and crisp moves fit right in with the theme of the show. In the future, Moore said the organization hopes to grow with newly recruited members and seeks to hold bigger events with other student clubs. “In the spring semester, we will have a smaller showcase and be partnering with other organizations,” Moore said. “For example, in March we’ll be ripping the runway in the African Students Union Fashion Show.”

Savor international dishes this Thanksgiving By Madelyn Paquette Staff Writer
Thanksgiving is just a week away, and Americans are ready to celebrate the season with family, football and most of all, food. But how do other countries commemorate the fall harvest and show their gratitude for another bountiful year? Here are four international “Thanksgivings” with traditional recipes you can incorporate into your feast on Thursday.

Canes face Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in final home game of season
Miami Hurricanes men’s basketball team lands top prospects Dewan Huell and Bruce Brown

T
his year didn’t go according to plan. The goal was the ACC Coastal and unfortunately, the Miami Hurricanes fell short of it. However, just because the team didn’t reach its goal doesn’t mean there’s nothing to play for. As the Canes wrap up their 2015 home slate with a game against the Yellow Jackets, both teams will be looking to end the season on a high note after falling short of expectations. One who claims that Miami’s drop-off has been horrendous clearly hasn’t followed the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets this season. After starting the year ranked No. 15 and winning the first two games of the season, Paul Johnson’s squad has lost seven of its last eight games. Amazingly, the Yellow Jackets’ only win in that stretch came against Florida State, and it came on a blocked field goal return as time expired. Despite Georgia Tech’s struggles, the Hurricanes will certainly have a tough matchup on their hands this Saturday

against the triple option of the Yellow Jackets. Miami (6-4, 3-3) has struggled all season with containing mobile quarterbacks operating out of the option offense. Just last week, North Carolina senior quarterback Marquise Williams gashed the Canes for 108 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 12 carries. Against Georgia Tech, the Canes will only see more of the option in a much more complex system to defend. Last season, against the undefeated Yellow Jackets, the Hurricanes gave up 318 yards rushing and even more astonishingly allowed Georgia Tech’s time of possession to reach 40:45. If you allow any team to possess the ball for two-thirds of the game, the defense will certainly wear down and the offense won’t have much time to put up points. So far this season, Georgia Tech (3-7, 1-6) hasn’t had as much success with the option but still averages 256 rushing yards a game, which is good for sixthbest in the country. If the Canes can stop the option, the Yellow Jackets will be in for a long day on offense.
On the offensive end, the Hurricanes will look to rebound off of what was a sluggish offensive performance last Saturday. The Canes need to pound the ball early to open up room for sophomore quarterback Brad Kaaya and his playmaking wide receivers, who should be able to exploit the Georgia Tech secondary. In Georgia Tech’s seven losses this season, the Yellow Jackets have allowed at least 23 points in those games. In their three wins, the Yellow Jackets have allowed 16 or less in those games. Maybe if there are some selfish seniors who don’t care about the program, then the rest of these games may not mean anything besides draft stock. For those who do care, winning these last two games and the bowl matchup could lead to some much-needed positive momentum heading into the offseason. With a new coach coming on board and a program looking to find its way back to the national stage, this Miami program needs all of the momentum it can get.
T
he Hurricanes men’s basketball team added two major prospects, Dewan Huell and Bruce Brown, in a three-hour span on Wednesday. Huell, a five-star forward, and Brown, a four-star guard, are both rated in the top 30 of the 2016 class by ESPN. Brown kicked off the program’s historic day by picking Miami over Indiana around 10 a.m. The 6-foot4, 200-pound guard out of Vermont Academy said on ESPN that he liked Miami because “they run pick-androlls. I love pick-and-rolls. They pressure the ball. Also, Angel [Rodriguez] and Sheldon [McClellan] are leaving, so that’s minutes right away.” ESPN rates Brown as the No. 8 shooting guard in the country. Several scouts say Brown already has the size to defend at the college level and can explode off the bounce when he has the ball. The Hurricanes will need Brown to step in right away as a freshman with Angel Rodriguez and Sheldon McClellan, Miami’s starting backcourt and leading scorers, both graduating after this season. A little after 1 p.m., the day turned from good to great for the HUELL

Hurricanes, when Huell announced he was staying home and committing to Miami. Huell, currently playing at Miami Norland High, is a rare five-star BROWN player to come out of South Florida and was a priority for the Canes. The 6-foot-9, 230-pound power forward is rated the No. 21 player overall and No. 5 power forward in ESPN’s 2016 class. Huell chose Miami over South Carolina after early leader Florida State fell out of the running to land the top prospect. Analysts praise Huell for his lateral quickness and ability to run with ease at his size. He already has a usable jump shot and can defend guards coming off pick-and-rolls, but Huell needs to put on weight and improve his postgame. Huell signed his National Letter of Intent to Miami shortly after committing verbally and would face heavy penalties if he were to back out. Brown is still a verbal commit at this time and can reverse his decision without consequence. Huell and Brown already join four-star recruit Rodney Miller, who committed to Miami in August. Miller is a 6-foot-11, 230-pound center out of Virginia powerhouse Oak Hill Academy. With the additions of Huell and Brown, Miami now has the No. 9 class in the country for 2016, according to ESPN. Miami currently has two other four-star recruits that committed to the Canes in sophomore guard Ja’Quan Newton and freshman forward Anthony Lawrence Jr. The Hurricanes have not landed a five-star recruit since Durand Scott in 2009. The Hurricanes are off to a 2-0 start this season and next play Thursday against Mississippi State at 5 p.m. in the first game of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

Miami men’s basketball to face early challenges in Puerto Rico Tip-Off By Cody Brown Senior Sports Writer
T
he Hurricanes men’s basketball team will enjoy a nice business trip down to the sunny beaches of Puerto Rico over Thanksgiving break. The Puerto Rico Tip-Off has a deep field of teams, including No. 22 Butler and No. 16 Utah. The other five teams competing will be Temple, Minnesota, Missouri State, Mississippi State and Texas Tech. One of the headlines for the Canes will be redshirt senior point guard Angel Rodriguez’s return home to Puerto Rico, where he lived for the first 15 years of his life. Rodriguez is coming off an 18-point performance on Monday night and will look to continue his hot shooting in front of hometown fans, friends and family.
Miami (2-0) tips off the tournament this Thursday against a solid Mississippi State squad. This will be the Canes’ first real test of the season and a nice measure for how far Miami has come in defense. The team focused on defense in the offseason and protected the basket well in the first two games, but Mississippi State (1-1) is a tougher offensive assignment. The Bulldogs scored 106 points in their season debut and are led offensively by senior forward Gavin Ware and junior guard I.J. Ready. Not only are they a strong offensive team, but they will also certainly be motivated after a close 76-72 upset during their loss to Southern University on Monday night. If the Canes can get past the Bulldogs on Thursday, they will most likely play Utah in the tournament semifinal. This would be a great early season challenge for the Canes, as they could get their first shot at a ranked opponent if they make it past the first round. The Utes are a Pac-12 favorite going into this season and would test the Canes in all phases of the game. If Miami emerges out of the first two contests victorious, another interesting matchup that the Canes could encounter in the championship game would be against a strong Minnesota team. This matchup could also prepare Miami for a couple of ACC games later on in the season against Louisville, as Rick Pitino’s son Richard Pitino is the Golden Gophers’ head coach.

They run similar styles, and Minnesota would implement a full-court press similar to Louisville’s throughout the game. This would give the Canes a good idea of how Louisville’s full-court press could affect them differently this year now that the shot clock has been reduced to 30 seconds.
Regardless of outcomes, the Canes will play three quality opponents that will challenge them more than their first two opponents, UT Rio Grande Valley and Louisiana. The Canes face Mississippi State at 5 p.m. on Thursday in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Stopping Georgia Tech on Saturday will take 3 things By David Cline Contributing Sports Writer
T
he Hurricanes will welcome the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and their triple-option attack to Sun Life Stadium this Saturday. Miami (6-4, 3-3) is coming off of a humiliating defeat at the hands of the North Carolina Tar Heels while Georgia Tech (3-7, 1-6) lost a thriller against the Virginia Tech Hokies last week. Both teams have had up-and-down seasons, but Georgia Tech’s 2015 campaign has been particularly rough. After winning their first two games, the Yellow Jackets have gone on to lose seven of their last eight games. This put them out of
the running for a bowl bid and essentially ended their hopes of having even a mildly successful season. Miami, on the other hand, can still make something out of this chaotic season so long as the Canes finish strong. A pair of wins to close out the season can put the Hurricanes in a decent bowl game, and it all starts with a win on Saturday. Here is what Miami should do on defense to stop Georgia Tech.
STAY DISCIPLINED
This could apply to either drawing penalties or to the defensive scheme, but both will be equally important in Saturday’s game. In terms of penalties, Miami is dead last in the nation with 84.9 penalty yards per game. This is unacceptable and will doom Miami on Saturday due to the Yellow Jackets’ style of play. The last thing Miami needs to do against a running team is gift them free yards. Defending against Georgia Tech requires extreme discipline regarding assignments at all times. Pure athleticism will not save Miami; Georgia Tech thrives off of mismatches and by outnumbering opponents on outside runs. If the Hurricane players can stick to their assignments and fill their gaps, the Yellow Jackets’ offense will be limited.
BE WARY OF THE PASS
Georgia Tech runs the triple-option offense, an offense that seldom sees the quarterback throw the ball. The Yellow Jackets will mostly throw only in third-and-long situations or when trying to catch the defense off guard. Miami has to be ready at all times though, as Head Coach Paul Johnson likes to pepper trick plays into his scheme. The Yellow Jackets have only thrown the ball 165 times this season, 13th out 14 teams in the ACC, but when they have, Georgia Tech has scored 13 touchdowns on just 71 completions. That’s one touchdown for nearly every five completions. All it takes is one play and Miami can go from being in control to giving up a touchdown.
FINISH EVERY PLAY
The Hurricanes could do everything outlined above perfectly and still be in trouble if they can’t bring down the Georgia Tech running backs. Tackling is obviously one of the most fundamental defensive skills in football, but it takes on a special importance against the Yellow Jackets. Whether the ball carrier is five yards behind the line of scrimmage or cutting it upfield, the Hurricanes will have to stop him at the first chance they get. Miami gives up 202.7 yards rushing per game, which is 106th nationally out of 128 teams. They will certainly have to flip the script on Saturday as Georgia Tech will be sticking to the ground game.
November 19 - December 2, 2015 didn’t tell me what they were. I took the hint and dropped the question, but later heard him in class asking one of his friends to hang out with him for the holiday since they both couldn’t go home. I was just trying to be nice, but feel shot down because of it. Should I say something? Dear V, I’ve been seeing a guy for a few months. We’re not serious yet – both of us didn’t want to label things – but we’re exclusive. I invited him to come with me and visit my family in town for Thanksgiving break since flying home to visit his parents across the country was too expensive. He was really weird about it, saying he had “plans” already but
Sincerely, Lonely Turkey Dear Lonely Turkey, It’s nice that you thought to invite your guy along since he’d be spending the holiday alone. However, since you two aren’t even committed to each other yet, it was too soon to offer something like that. Your suggestion simply caught him off guard.
THE MIAMI HURRICANE Holidays are something you spend with someone you see yourself being involved with for a long time, whether that means your family, a close friend or a significant other. So your guy was probably chill with hanging with his bros over Thanksgiving – odds are, they won’t cheat on each other or have a rough break up like you two could. There’s a cornucopia of possibilities of things that can go wrong in a relationship, so he’d like to be serious before meeting the ‘rents. Still, he could’ve been more kind about the way he handled your offer. He could’ve just been honest with you that he didn’t want to move things to the next level yet, or he could have been careful enough not to make plans with friends in a class that you two share and let you overhear. Don’t take it personally that he wasn’t ready to chow down on
DEAR V

a turkey leg with your mom and dad yet. That’s a big step for any relationship, let alone one that isn’t already chugging along on the gravy train toward the altar. However, mention that you’d like it if he would be honest in the future. You would have rather known he wasn’t comfortable with it than overhear him gobbling with the guys about their plans. Just assure him you were only trying to be friendly, not tie him down too soon. No one likes to know they’re being left out, but you would have understood his reasoning had he told you. You’ll probably both be more thankful for each other after you talk it out. -V
CONGRATULATIONS!
