Banned Books Week: what to expect and how to get involved

Hunter Crenian // Photo & Visuals Editor READ DANGEROUSLY: UM Libraries’ participation in the annual Banned Books Week “is an opportunity to celebrate our First Amendment rights, confirm our right to free speech and support the free flow of ideas through the words we use to communicate,” said Lauren Fralinger, a learning and research services librarian at Richter.

By Elina Katrin Senior News Writer

If books such as J. K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter,” Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” J. D. Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye” or Dr. Seuss’s “The Lorax” sound familiar, then Richter Library’s upcoming Banned Books Week is worth participating in.

“Banned Books Week is an opportunity to celebrate our First Amendment rights, confirm our right to free speech and support the free flow of ideas through the words we use to communicate,” said Lauren Fralinger, a learning and research services librarian at Richter. “As members of a university community, a free flow of ideas is critical to research and foundational to student learning.”

Banned Books Week, which runs from Sept. 23 to Sept. 29, is a national event sponsored by the American Library Association. Fralinger said UM Libraries has joined the ALA in sponsoring Banned Books Week events for five years.

This year, the library is featuring a display of banned and challenged books on the first floor from Sept. 21 to Oct. 1.

The Weeks Music Library at the Frost School of Music will also

participate in the Banned Books Week for a second year. It will have a similar display to Richter Library’s, highlighting music that has been banned or challenged by musicians as diverse as Beyoncé, John Lennon, Madonna, Queen and Rage Against the Machine, Fralinger said.

“Nancy Zavac, the head of Weeks Music Library, and I are always looking for new ways to promote our collections,” said Amy Strickland, the assistant head of Weeks who constructed their showcase. “I tend to create exhibits based around a theme, and banned music seemed like an excellent topic.”

She said that the main role of the Music Library during this event is to expand the idea of “banned books” into “banned ideas” or “banned communication.” In the display, she included not only specific songs that were banned, but also musical artists who were censored because of who they are or what they’ve said or done, outside of any individual song.

“I think the involvement of Weeks Music Library in this event is also part of ongoing efforts to demonstrate that all of the libraries on campus, except Law, are part of the UM Libraries,” Strickland said. “So I like to participate

in events going on at Richter as much as I can.”

On Sept. 25, the Richter Library will host the annual Banned Books Read-Out. The Read-Out features members of the campus community – faculty, staff and students – reading from some of their favorite banned and challenged books. According to UM’s Guide to Banned Books Week, a challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based on objections from a person or a group, and a ban is a removal of materials based on content.

“Book challenges are surprisingly common,” Fralinger said. “There’s frequently a misconception that book banning isn’t something that happens in the United States today, but in fact, it happens regularly.”

According to the ALA, in 2017, 354 books were challenged across the United States, which averages to almost one challenge per day somewhere in the country.

“There is a dangerous precedent when books become banned or even worse, burned; it indicates that something is terribly sick in that cultural moment of society,” said Jacqueline Galante, a graduate student in the Master of Arts in liberal studies program. “There are people who

genuinely believe that the Harry Potter series is a recruiting tool for witchcraft and banned it from school libraries.”

Galante, vice president of the graduate student association, has been invited to the Read-Out event as the student reader. She said she believes that this event will be great for book lovers, as well as a nice opportunity for everyone to come together as a community.

“I hope the audience takes away a sense of obligation for remaining vigilant against censorship,” Galante said. “If certain people had their way, some of the most impactful and sublime works of literature would be lost forever to human history as a result of being banned.”

Fralinger said that on Sept. 25 at 2 p.m. in the Learning Commons Flex Space at the Richter Library, all students, staff and faculty are invited to attend the Read-Out event and hear selections from banned or challenged books, as well as stay for light refreshments afterward.

“We’re particularly pleased to be holding the Read Out again this year,” she said “Last year’s was unfortunately canceled due to the untimely arrival of Hurricane Irma.”

UM increases smoking fines, targets e-cigarette users

By Ellie Horwitz Contributing Writer

In an effort to crack down on violators of the campus nosmoking policy, the University of Miami has more than tripled smoking fines from $75 to $250.

The stiffer penalties, the result of a decision by UM’s “Smoking Think Tank” team, went into effect at the beginning of the fall 2018 semester.

“We’re not trying to jump out and catch people, but we do have to enforce the policy,” said Dean of Students Ryan C. Holmes, who helped oversee the Think Tank.

The Smoking Think Tank team included student government officials, enforcement officers,

student affairs employees and members of the university’s law department.

Holmes, who is also associate vice president of student affairs, and Scott R. Levin, executive director of the Department of Wellness and Recreation, oversaw the official policy change. The team began meeting in January and implemented the decision to increase fines in August.

Randy Fitzgerald, a Student Government senator, was also a member of the team. He said he believes the policy changes were not only to reinforce the nonsmoking campus policy but to promote a healthier lifestyle for students.

“Miami is a place that specializes in a healthy lifestyle,” Fitzgerald said. “We should

always be enforcing that.”

The university phased in the smoke-free campus policy over a two-year period. In 2011, smoking was prohibited on the Coral Gables campus with the exception of 24 designated smoking areas. The next year, the number of designated smoking zones was reduced by 50 percent.

In 2013, the campus banned smoking entirely.

According to the 2018-19 student handbook, “Smoking includes inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying any lighted cigarette or electronic cigarette, cigar, pipe or another such device which contains tobacco or other smoke-producing products.”

Previously, students who violated the smoking ban were notified by e-mail, but now in

addition to the fine, a letter will be mailed to the students’ home.

Frequent violators may be asked to attend tobacco cessation programs.

Fitzgerald said students helped create the non-smoking policies and fines. If students do not want a non-smoking campus, they should speak up, he said.

“Our eyes and ears are open,” Fitzgerald said.

Some University of Miami students said they are unaware that e-cigarettes, including the increasingly popular JUUL, are included in the smoking ban.

Called the “21st-century cigarette,” JUUL is an alternative to traditional smoking, some students said. The small device, which resembles a flash drive, contains powerful amounts

of nicotine and comes in four different flavors. Each pod inserted into a JUUL has 50 mg of nicotine, equivalent to one pack of cigarettes.

The Food and Drug Administration announced that teenage use of electronic cigarettes has reached “an epidemic proportion” and gave manufacturers two months to show how they will stop marketing to minors.

Most UM students, however, are over the age of 18 and some said they should be able to use the devices.

“I think people are well aware of how much nicotine they are consuming, and it is more of a choice than an influence,” said a female student who uses JUUL and asked not to be identified.

Learn from latest #MeToo moment

In 2013, then-CBS CEO Leslie Moonves spoke to students at the School of Communication about fighting bias, plotting the future of journalism and treating others with respect.

Five years later, he has left the network— following allegations of sexual misconduct by 12 women, as reported by The New Yorker.

Moonves’ words to student media now ring with grim irony. He told students to “remember that how you treat people is very, very important,” and even praised a colleague, Jeff Fager, who, this month, was himself ousted for threatening a coworker covering his own set of allegations.

It’s disheartening to hear yet another alleged instance (or here, instances) of sexual abuse by a person in power—especially considering the influence Moonves held, both at CBS and, potentially, to the students he spoke to, here at the University of Miami and beyond.

And unfortunately, the field of journalism seems especially susceptible to abuses of power— even though (or perhaps because) its very function is to expose those abuses. Fager’s threatening text, in which he reminded a reporter that “there are people who lost their jobs trying to harm me” as

she covered his case, is proof of this. How do we grapple with it?

At the very least, we can learn. If we ever want to create a culture in which victims don’t feel pressured to wait years to come forward with their stories, we need to learn that abuse can take many forms and that all are contemptible. In one statement, the ex-CEO admitted that “he tried to kiss the doctor” in whose office he was a patient, while still seeming to shrug off the gravity of the situation by saying “nothing more happened.”

But nothing more needs to happen for an unwanted kiss to be unwanted and, thus, reprehensible. What’s more, what a person of power like Moonves might see as “just” an advance cannot be removed from the power, authority and intimidation that such a person inherently wields.

It is imperative that we recognize this sort of influence among employers and peers—so that we can confront a hostile culture when we see it and, accordingly, work against it.

One such way to do this is to address the issue of sexual misconduct (or its potential to happen) on an institutional level; merely hoping that everyone understands consent, boundaries and abusive

behavior is not enough. The President’s Coalition on Sexual Violence Prevention, as described in an email from President Frenk Sept. 24, is an example of the sort of top-down approach needed to combat a culture of disrespect, not just the one or two “bad apples” we seem to so often hear about.

According to the email, “all faculty members, supervisory staff, and employees in areas where there is frequent interaction with students” will take compulsory online training on sexual misconduct and reporting.

It is a start, and a welcome one. Any system that aims to teach about these issues on a wide scale is worth commending. Making it required “homework” sends a message of universal responsibility as if to say the issue of sexual misconduct (at work or at school) really is on all of us.

But even so, we can’t stop there. While formal education is absolutely necessary, empathy and understanding are powerful tools that last long beyond any lesson plan—and we ought to use them, at work, school and beyond.

POLITICS

2018 Election: A showdown for Florida’s future Last month’s primary set the stage for crucial showdowns within Florida—showdowns that will determine the future of the state.

Andrew Gillum surprised many

By Ryan Steinberg by winning the Staff Columnist Democratic primary for governor. He beat better-funded, more well-known front-runners, and with an endorsement from Bernie Sanders, his win signals that the Florida Democratic Party is moving to the left. Further, he is the first black candidate for governor in Florida history.

His opponent will be Trumpendorsed Ron DeSantis, who celebrated his own win by suggesting that Florida not “monkey it up” by electing Gillum, invoking a racial dog whistle. DeSantis

blamed the Parkland shooting on the FBI, completely ignoring the role of guns.

And in the Senate race, well-known politicians Bill Nelson and Governor Rick Scott will battle it out.

When the Parkland shooting happened, Scott’s response was as weak as could be, refusing to acknowledge the issue of gun violence and the lax gun laws in Florida; instead, he chose to preserve his A+ rating with the National Rifle Association.

But Parkland struck Florida at its core. Innocent kids were shot by a mentally ill teenager. This was someone who had no business owning a gun, using a gun that no one should have any business owning. This was the obvious reality, but not for Scott or DeSantis.

Their constituents were brutally murdered and all they could care about was the NRA’s affection. Their inaction ensured that their constituents will continue to be in danger due to Florida’s

lax laws.

There is nothing to stop another Parkland from happening. Floridians can elect Gillum and Nelson, who will take the necessary actions to curb gun violence, or they can elect DeSantis and Scott who care more about the NRA than the lives of the people they desire to represent.

This election is about our future.

We have critical issues facing our community, state and nation. South Florida, more so than anywhere else in the country, is under severe threat from the effects of global warming. Per the Union of Concerned Scientists, 351 billion dollars’ worth of Florida homes could be at risk of chronic flooding by 2045. We cannot afford to send politicians who threaten our future to Tallahassee or Washington, D.C. Scott and DeSantis will not just ignore global warming; they will actively support policies that worsen it. Electing either of them sends the message that

we do not care about our home. That we have zero desire to save it.

Scott, for example, has notoriously ignored the enormous threat posed to Florida by global warming and rising sea levels, even going as far as to banning the term “global warming” from any official government correspondence.

On the other hand, Gillum has actively taken steps within Tallahassee to lower carbon emissions. He seeks the major reforms necessary to save our home. Nelson has been a staunch opponent of the Trump administration’s policies on climate science, repeatedly calling hearings and bringing attention to the climate injustices of the administration.

Florida has a choice this November: Fight for a better and safer future or elect the people who will threaten Florida’s safety and very existence. What will we choose to stand for?

CAMPUS LIFE

E-cigaretes symptom Ron DeSantis’ education of societal shortcomings promise for Florida’s future Every year a new fad seems to emerge among the youth in this country. A few years ago, choker necklaces and Pokémon Go were all the rage. A few years before that the “selfie” craze was taking over. But just as quick as those trends came,

By Nicole Macias they died out. Vaping is the Staff Columnist latest trend among young kids, but it doesn’t seem to be fading out anytime soon, which is now raising some serious concerns for these children’s futures.

E-cigarette use has alarmingly skyrocketed among teenagers, which has prompted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to issue a press release cracking down on both the sale of e-cigarettes to minors and marketing strategies that target kids.

According to the release, more than 2 million middle and high school students used e-cigarettes in 2017 alone. The FDA referred to this trend as an “epidemic” that is disturbingly widespread and is putting kids at risk for lifelong addiction.

While e-cigarettes can be beneficial for adults trying to quit smoking tobacco, the excessive use among young people presents a distressing problem. According to the FDA, it’s possible that companies are using unlawful advertising methods to appeal to young kids.

Some retailers are misleadingly labeling e-liquids to mirror foods kids are familiar with such as cookies, candy and even juice boxes to attract younger people. Companies that target youth with the idea that vaping is cool and trendy in order to sell their products are highly manipulative and socially irresponsible.

Top selling companies like JUUL and Vuse are profiting off people’s innocence and are helping to breed a new generation of addicts. They’re partially to blame for enabling a culture of amped-up, nicotine-addicted adolescents that is only going to intensify with time.

A National Academy of Science and Medicine report from earlier this year indicates that regular e-cigarette users are at a higher risk of transitioning into incendiary cigarettes, which would reverse the progress that’s been made in reducing smoking rates in the United States.

The vaping trend is prevalent and close to

home. According to reports from The Miami Herald, students at Miami Beach Senior High are skipping class to vape in the bathroom, during class when the teacher is not looking and during their lunch breaks. It’s become such a compulsive need for some teens that Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber is urging Miami Beach officials to require businesses and online retailers to obtain proof that a customer is over 18 years of age with a copy of their license before selling and mailing e-cigarettes to them.

Although teens will always find a way around the rules and could use fake IDs, at least our community is trying to control this problem.

The vaping trend began a few years ago when I was high school, and I’ve noticed that many of the people that began vaping back then have now progressed to standard cigarettes as well as other substances in college. On our own campus, we have a no-smoking policy in place with signs posted everywhere but students still do it anyway because it’s truly a necessity for many at this point.

It’s unfortunate that those who choose not to smoke have to deal with the consequences of being around it all the time, but this is the product of addiction and it goes to show that no law or policy will stop people who are physically in need of another fix.

The vaping phenomenon among the youth points to a much bigger issue at hand.

It’s no secret we live in a fast-paced world of instant gratification. We live in a world where it seems like one’s entire self-worth is dependent on Instagram likes or the number of texts we get in a day. We’re constantly searching for the next trend to obsess over, the next party to attend and, unfortunately, the next fix. Our society has a really hard time being content with simplicity.

There’s been a notable pendulum shift in our society, where younger and younger kids are participating in trends that are detrimental to their health and well-being. Nowadays, kids are trying to push the envelope farther to see what they can get away with and what they can tolerate. We need to provide better guidance and support for young kids so they don’t feel like they have to turn to a substance for relief.

We need to take a look at ourselves as a society and rectify what we glamorize, and who we idolize before we can truly lead our youth in a more prosperous direction.

Nicole Macias is a junior majoring in English.

Earlier this week, Ron DeSantis, Republican candidate for governor of Florida, unveiled his education platform, and with it, his promise to Florida’s parents and students: to make Florida’s education system work for everyone.

That means expanding opportunity for low-income students to attend the schools of their choice and providing parents the freedom, will and means to allow their children to do so. From charter schools to private academic institutions, Florida’s students deserve the right to have access to, and attend, schools which fit and compliment their unique individual talents and skill sets.

That’s what it’s going to take if we are to make Florida an economically competitive state in the United States and on the world stage, for in our 21stcentury economy, Florida’s students must be able to not only compete and acquire the skills necessary for the jobs of today but also be equipped with a strong foundation of knowledge to build upon in life as one’s job changes due to

economic disruptions and technological advancements.

Ron DeSantis’ education platform holds great promise in achieving this end, for it once again focuses on the students – not the special interest or teachers’ unions – and prioritizes classroom funding and new, innovative school programs: such as the expansion of technical skills training and the implementation of local and statewide school-business partnerships, in which schools cater their curriculum and teachings in ways which bolster meaningful employment opportunities for students interested in technical skill work.

There’s a lot at stake this election, but at least I know that all will be well for Florida’s students and parents if Ron DeSantis is given the opportunity and honor to serve as Florida’s next governor.

David Saul Acosta, University of Miami Class of 2016, is the political action director for Miami Young Republicans.

What UM can learn from lower ranking To the editors of The Miami Hurricane, It is certainly true that students at UM shouldn’t worry much about our school’s recent rankings slide in the U.S. News and World Report. Many fields of study don’t change much from school to school, and our university only offers more opportunities for a good education as time goes by. But that isn’t to say that UM should ignore rankings, and why we’ve fallen in them, entirely.

U.S. News announced that it was changing its methods to reflect more weight on student outcomes, like graduation figures and socioeconomic mobility, like supporting students from low-income families. Conversely, it would put less emphasis on acceptance rates and entry-level standardized test scores. These are good ideas that measure a university by its ability to add

value to a student’s life, not by its ability to find privileged high-schoolers. If our school is below UF, that is a testament to what they do better than us.

I trust that the administration will recognize the value of these new goals: President Frenk’s strategy, the “Roadmap To Our New Century,” includes some heartening (if boilerplate) language on diversity and inclusion.

While they’re here, and once they graduate into the “real” world, students should reflect on the value of seeking different experiences in the people around them. In a world of inequality and privilege, any systematic effort to advance opportunity for all is a lesson worth celebrating. Even if it pushes UM below UF. William Quinlan, University of Miami Class of 2016, is a second-year law student at UM.

Eating on campus becomes more interactive

By Rebecca Goddard Assistant News Editor

A TV monitor that displays next week’s dining options will prompt students to vote online for the dishes they want to be served.

A social media wall consisting of multiple TV screens will display messages from dining services and student tweets, posts and photos in real time. And Amazon’s Alexa will be able to answer questions about campus dining locations.

These are some of the innovative changes University Dining Services is implementing this year.

Meagan Clements, the director of marketing and guest experience at Chartwells Dining Services at UM, said one of her main goals is to make eating on campus more fun and engaging.

“Everyone likes to be involved with what they’re doing,” Clements said. “They like things to be customizable. They like to really be a part of the process every step of the way.”

One of the most significant changes implemented so far is a partnership with Rockbot, an app that allows students to vote on which songs play in the dining halls.

People can download the app free of charge, check in to either of the on-campus dining halls and select the songs they want to hear.

Before Rockbot, administrators and employees chose what songs to play out loud in the dining halls. But now, students hold the power.

Since the beginning of the semester, Clements said around 60 users at UM have logged onto the app. Those people have checked in nearly 300 times and voted almost 900 times in total.

Freshman public health major Eliza Stuart said she uses Rockbot to play her favorite rap songs in the Hecht-Stanford dining hall.

“It’s nice to get to play what you want,” said Stuart. “Because if you eat there all the time it’s like your second home. You might as well enjoy it.”

Other South Florida schools with dining halls managed by Chartwells Dining Services, including FIU and Barry University, have also started using Rockbot.

Clements said that dining services decided to connect with Rockbot after receiving surveys that indicated many students were dissatisfied with the dining halls’ music choices.

Dining services send out a survey to all UM students at the end of every semester.

Clements said that she loves receiving feedback from guests because it tells her how she can improve.

In order to increase the amount of feedback they get, dining administrators also added a phone number for students to text with any questions, comments or critiques.

Students can now text dining services at 305376-7337 and receive an instant response.

Clements said that the texts go directly to her and three other administrators, who all discuss the appropriate response in a group chat. Once they’ve decided how to proceed, Clements replies to the text with any relevant information.

“It’s just another way for people to interact with us and for us to be more accessible to our guests,” Clements said.

Although they’ve only received a handful of texts so far, Clements said she thinks that this service will catch on once it’s advertised more in person and online.

Previously, students looking to share their thoughts had to fill out a form online or on the DineOnCampus app, but Clements said that texting expedites this process.

Although these are the only two changes currently in effect, dining services plan to roll out many more as the year progresses.

One of the biggest innovations will take place in the Hecht-Stanford dining hall, Clements said.

Her team plans to convert the “Eat. Learn. Live.” station to a student choice station, complete with a TV that displays potential dining options for the next week.

Students will be able to vote online for which dishes they want to be served.

Junior Gabriela Beverly said she likes this idea because it gives students more of a choice in what they’re eating.

“It makes you want to eat here if you know that they’re going to take into account your feedback,” said Beverly, who is a nursing student.

Freshman Hannah-Sophia Hall said she’s also excited about the student choice station because it could make planning meals and eating healthy easier.

“It’d be more comfortable to go there and know that you can eat this or that,” said Hall, who is a pre-med student.

Michael Ross, the resident district manager of Chartwells Dining Services at UM, underscored the importance of utilizing feedback to create a more personalized dining experience.

“Guests want to feel acknowledged, heard and as if they are part of a bigger family,” Ross said.

Stuart said she is looking forward to the student choice station because having more options reminds her of home, where she can open the fridge and eat whatever she wants.

Clements said that she expects the new station to be up and running by January.

Additionally, dining services plan on adding a social media wall to the HechtStanford dining hall that will display tweets and photos in real time, Clements said. It will consist of multiple TV screens, feature messages from dining services and spotlight posts from students who use relevant hashtags. The content will be filtered to ensure that nothing inappropriate ends up on screen.

Ross said that dining services want to integrate more technology into its facilities so that guests will have a better overall experience.

“We follow trends in not only campus dining but in generational preferences and technology as well, so we are always looking to find new and exciting initiatives to add to our program,” Ross said.

Other future technological amenities include touch-screen feedback kiosks in the food court and the Hecht-Stanford dining hall as well as a connection between Amazon Alexa and the DineOnCampus app.

The kiosks will allow guests to instantly share their experiences and Amazon Alexa will be able to answer questions about campus dining locations.

Many of the technological changes are taking place in the Hecht-Stanford dining hall first because it serves more students on a regular basis, Clements said. But, she also said she hopes to bring changes to the MahoneyPearson dining hall in the near future.

Clements said that she hopes all of these changes will give students a more individualized experience. She said that everyone dines differently and that her department wants to cater to everyone’s needs.

“We want you to be able to customize things,” Clements said. “We want you to feel comfortable in all of our facilities, so all of these are just additional ways to improve student lives.”

Beverly said she was excited to hear about all the changes coming to the dining halls and that she’s always impressed with dining services’ friendliness and responsiveness.

“They’re definitely making an effort,” she said.

Menu changes implemented in dining halls

By Sofia Mesa Contributing News Writer

Hunter Crenian // Photo & Visuals Editor CHOW CHANGES: UM Dining staff transitions offerings from breakfast to lunch including new menu items added this year.

From nut-free dining to Kosherfriendly meal swipes, this school year marks the implementation of many new dining options for students and faculty with all dietary needs.

Meagan Clements, director of marketing and guest experience for UM Dining, said she believes that with a growing population of students with dietary restrictions and life-threatening allergies, reliable dining options on campus are a necessity.

Clements said that diet accommodation on campus is nothing new and has always been a priority.

“We are always looking for ways to make our dining options more inclusive,” she said. “We conduct surveys, focus groups, and just talk to our students.”

Clements said that over the past summer, the dining halls went 100% nutfree, which means that peanut butter and other nut products are no longer served.

Freshman Gabrielle Chapman, who is severely allergic to tree nuts, said she believes this change is crucial for students like her.

“I carry several EpiPens with me at all times,” said Chapman, a marine science major. “And the fear I have always had is no one around me may even know how to use them, but now I worry less.”

However, Clements said that proper accommodations have been made for all the peanut butter lovers as well: “Wowbutter,” a soy alternative to nut butters, is offered as a permanent solution for all peanut butter needs.

Dining hall recipes come from a database of thousands and are altered in the kitchen to better fit plant-based and gluten-free diets, Clements said. She said this is why the labeling of the Dine on Campus app and paper labels on food sometimes contradict: The paper labels can be updated, but the digital ingredient lists cannot.

Accommodations for religious

dietary needs have also been implemented. The Corner Deli and Pura Vida, which both offer Kosher-friendly options on campus, now take meal swipes as payment.

Moreover, as a result of student surveys that indicated the desire for more food options from the Courtside Eatery, acai bowls were added to the menu at Fitberry in the Wellness Center.

“I plan on trying one of the acai bowls at Fitberry soon because acai is really expensive, but the bowls here are cheaper than the ones at the Farmer’s Market,” said Alexia Vignau, a sophomore microbiology major.

Along with increased food options, the dining experience has also become more sustainable, Clements said. The dining halls have switched to tree-free napkins, straws and to-go containers— all products of the company Emerald.

According to the company’s website, their products are made not out of paper but from bagasse, a part of the sugarcane plant, and are fully compostable. Fresh

Fusion, Pollo Tropical and Panda Express now all use the compostable togo containers.

Clements also said that people at the dining halls are always willing to help, and recommends asking an associate if students are ever doubtful of the labels distinguishing vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

“One of my favorite things to tell students, especially incoming students, is that you have to ask the questions,” she said. “Our staff isn’t scary, we want to help you.”

Miami’s best day trips are only a weekend away

By Natalie Abatemarco Contributing Edge Writer

Miami offers various opportunities to escape college life, even on a college student’s budget.

From rigorous courses to extracurriculars, sometimes students need a break, whether it be for a whole weekend or just a few hours. On days like that, Miami offers various opportunities to escape college life, even on a college student’s budget.

Here’s our list of the best places for a weekend getaway.

1. Crandon Park or Ocean Drive beaches

One of the easiest and most common ways to escape is to head to the beach.

Crandon Park in Key Biscayne and Ocean

Drive beach in South Beach are both public beaches that are usually less than a $25 Uber or Lyft away, making them great options for a trip that doesn’t break the bank.

Sophomore Shirley Gelman said that Crandon Park is her favorite beach because of its “relaxing atmosphere.” She added that it “makes you feel like you are on a mini island somewhere.” Having a barbeque, eating a meal under the palm trees, and watching the sunset are all ways to further enhance your visit to Crandon.

2. Matheson Hammock Park

Only a short drive away, Matheson Hammock Park offers the opportunity to set up a hammock and relax with a beautiful waterfront view. Sophomore Allison LaForce said that this is her favorite place to get away “because you can just chill out and set up a hammock

here, which you can’t do at every other beach,” she said.

3. Venetian Pool

A mere 10 minutes away, the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables provides an inexpensive alternative to the on-campus pool. The entry fee is only $5.75 with a student ID, and offers a relaxing day surrounded by Venetian-Italian inspired architecture.

Sophomore Sterling Corum said she took someone on a surprise picnic date for her first time at the pool. “It was really fun,” she said. “I like to take naps on the beach because it’s really relaxing, so this was a nice alternative because it was so close.”

The Venetian also has a waterfall, a cave for swimming and relaxing, and a kids’ area.

4. Miami hotels

Buying a day pass at a Miami hotel is another easy way to escape day-to-day life, though it does require some research and planning. Many hotels offer beach chairs, towels and discounts on food and drinks, in addition to pool and beach access for the day for a reasonable fee.

However, it’s important to call the hotel to confirm and check availability; a day at the pool isn’t so relaxing if it’s at maximum capacity. South Beach hotels The Confidante and The Shore Club both offer day passes for only $30.

No matter your budget or time constraints, Miami offers countless options for a weekend getaway or a short daycation. “It’s typically pretty easy to get up and do something different for the day, something inexpensive that will relieve the stress,” Gelman said.

Miami professor publishes memory improvement book

By Osarume Ikhinmwin Contributing Writer

University of Miami Computer Science professor Nelson Dellis is set to release his second book “Remember It!” on September 25. Dellis described the book as a “memory technique how-to book.”

According to Dellis, people are almost completely reliant on their memory, and said everything from performing well on exams to inhaling oxygen is based upon the ability to remember.

“Memory training is a preventative measure and an exercise,” he said. “Along with physical health, we need to think about keeping our brains healthy.”

Dellis explained his motivation behind writing “Remember It!” and his journey leading up to it. “I was inspired to improve my memory by my grandmother who passed away from Alzheimer’s in 2009,” he said.

Dellis, who noticed memory issues of

his own, wanted to do everything he could to bring his memory to its full potential and keep it well-functioning for as long as possible.

“People can transform their memories from average to something that can do incredible things,” he said. “Memory is something you can always train with some practice and technique. It is possible to fix common mnemonic errors that most people make like forgetting names, misremembering passwords and misplacing keys.”

Dellis trained and perfected his memory technique, eventually competing in memory championships and winning four times. “People were asking me how I did it, so I ended up writing a book about it,” he said. ”Remember It!” has already received glowing reviews from both the New York Times and CNN’s Sanjay Gupta, and can be purchased on Dellis’ website, nelsondellis. com, and Amazon.

How to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month this October

By Kiki Aderoju Contributing Writer

Although so many years of tradition, culture, and achievement definitely cannot be packed into just 30 days, it is still an opportunity to be intentional about experiencing and enjoying Hispanic culture.

Sept. 15 marked the beginning of Hispanic Heritage month, which runs until October 15.

Although so many years of tradition, culture, and achievement definitely cannot be packed into just 30 days, it is still an opportunity to be intentional about experiencing and enjoying Hispanic culture.

To kick things off, Sigma Lambda Gamma, in conjunction with the Hispanic Heritage month committee, hosted “Miscultured” – a discussion on Latin American history, how race and ethnicity are defined in Latin American, and what it means to be Latinx.

“In academia, there’s been a push to move towards using the term Latinx,” said Camila Rodriguez-Rojas, a member of the sorority. “Latinx is a gender-neutral term to refer to people of Latin American descent

because, you know, there are transgender people, gender fluid people, and people that just don’t fit the gender binary. Unfortunately, the Spanish language doesn’t allow a lot of opportunities to express that.”

This was not an ordinary history lesson by any means, she said. This was an event meant to provoke thought and spark conversation.

“Latinx, Latin American, and Hispanic are all European constructs; they don’t mean anything,” Rodriguez-Rojas said. “’Latin America’ had thousands of different names before colonization. How can we really define this piece of land by European constructs?”

In case you missed this event, here are six other ways to celebrate:

Viernes Culturales, September 28

Viernes Culturales, or Cultural Fridays, are held every month in the heart of Little Havana and offer nights bursting with fun and culture. Attendees can enjoy live music, new restaurants, museums, galleries, and more Viernes Culturales is held from 7 p.m. till 11 p.m. on the last Friday of every month on Calle Ocho, between 13th and 17th Avenues.

SalsaCraze

SalsaCraze is one of the largest student organizations at UM. Membership is open to everyone, and with their goal to teach people of all ages and skill levels how to dance salsa, this is the perfect way to truly get immersed in Hispanic culture.

SalsaCraze meets twice this month– Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. and Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the Storm Surge Room in the UC.

of artifacts which are linked to Cuba and the Cuban diaspora. It is a resource that has grown into one of the largest collections of Cuban artifacts outside the island itself. Stop by to learn about Cuban history and the impact of Cuban-American communities.

The Cuban Heritage collection is located on the second floor of the Richter Library and is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Vicky Café

Caribbean Students’ Association dance workshop

“For a busy college student like me, my connection to my heritage and culture is best accessed through food, whether it’s my mom bringing me something from home or just enjoying a cup of coffee from Vicky’s,” said UM student David Cline. For a slice of Cuba on the go, stop by Vicky Café in the food court and grab a pastelito and some Cuban coffee.

Vicky Café is located in the food court and is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., as well as on Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

COMMENTARY

N’Kosi Perry excels in win against FIU

By Josh White Sports Editor sports@themiamihurricane.com @_JoshRWhite

Miami picked up a 3117 win over crosstown foe Florida International University Saturday, Sept. 22 at Hard Rock Stadium.

While UM extended its win streak to three games, the Hurricanes learned more about their team heading into conference play.

New era of football in Coral Gables?

The Miami faithful harmoniously chanted “Per-ry!

Per-ry! Per-ry!”

Quarterback N’Kosi Perry started a perfect 10-for-10 and orchestrated back-to-back touchdown scoring drives to put UM in front of FIU, 14-0.

The redshirt freshman was inserted under center replacing fifth-year senior Malik Rosier, who fans heavily booed at Hard Rock Stadium just two weeks prior.

It was Mark Richt’s plan entering Saturday’s game against the Panthers to embed Perry during Miami’s third possession.

And Perry answered the call.

The Ocala, Florida, native finished 17-for-25 for a careerhigh 224 yards and three touchdowns.

“It felt good,” said Perry, who was ranked the nation’s No. 3 dual-threat quarterback in 2017

by ESPN out of high school. “I was very comfortable…I didn’t know what [Richt] had planned in his mind, all I knew is, I’d be

ready when he called my name…

I’m definitely proud of myself, I’m proud of my team.”

Yet, Richt isn’t ready to designate Perry his starting quarterback for No. 16 Miami’s next game against North Carolina.

“We’ll decide this week,” Richt said. “Like I said, my quote would be ‘When the time comes, whoever I think is the best guy to give us the chance to win will be the guy. He’ll be playing.’”

If Richt elects to start Perry against the Tar Heels, it’ll mark the first time since the 6-foot-4, 195-pound quarterback’s senior year of high school football in 2016 at Ocala Vanguard that he started under center.

“It’s not like Malik has done anything wrong by any means,” Richt said. “He’s done a lot of great things for us. What’s happening is Cade and N’Kosi are growing up…Somewhere along the line, I gotta, you know, like a bird kicks the [baby] out of the nest and makes him fly, it’s about that time.”

Perry’s teammates were impressed with his performance and noted his play wasn’t all that surprising.

“I have a lot of confidence in Kosi,” defensive lineman Gerald Willis III said. “He has shown me a lot in practice. He plays like he’s an older guy and I’m really happy for him that’s he’s getting a chance and opportunity to showcase his talent.”

play against the Panthers as the nation’s leader in both tackles for loss and third-down conversion percentage.

Though preseason AllAmerican safety Jaquan Johnson was unavailable because of injury, Miami’s defense dominated.

One game after the Panthers tied a school record for points in a 63-24 victory over UMass, UM held FIU to just 187 total yards and notched 11 tackles for loss.

The Panthers had zero yards in the first quarter and 14 yards at halftime, before Miami put into its reserves.

FIU totaled just 17 rushing yards on 24 attempts and went 3-of-14 on third downs.

“Our guys were dominant,” defensive coordinator Manny Diaz said. “We’re seeing the benefit of again our third-down defense, we’re not on the field for many plays, offense possessing the ball, time of possession is starting to go in our favor and I could have no complains.”

Wills finished with three tackles for loss for the third time this season and Sheldrick Redwine forced the lone turnover with an interception.

Mike Harley breaks out

The Hurricanes depth at wide receiver has been well documented.

However, with 2016

Freshman All-American Ahmmon Richards unavailable because of a knee injury and leading receiver Jeff Thomas exiting the game because of dehydration, UM needed someone to elevate their game.

Sophomore Mike Harley shouldered the burden.

Harley registered a careerbest seven catches for 76 yards.

The Fort Lauderdale, Florida, native had just nine catches for 91 yards last season in 11 games.

“Me and Mike know each other,” Perry said. “Mike had to step up. I knew Mike was ready for the moment and he capitalized.”

ROUNDUP

Hurricanes fall competition in full swing

By Josh White Sports Editor sports@themiamihurricane.com @_JoshRWhite

Cross Country

Freshman Ryley Howard’s impressive start to her collegiate career continued at the Mountain Dew Invitational.

The Arlington, Virginia, native finished with a time of 18:32 in the 5K, notching the 10th fastest 5k time in Hurricanes history.

Anne den Otter, Abby Kettle, Olivia Raymond and Emma Langloris all finished with seasonbests at the event.

For the third straight meet, Dylan Sykes led the men’s side.

The sophomore recorded a time of 25:39, dropping more than three minutes of his 8K time.

Junior Matthew Wifels and freshmen James Hasell and Sam Flesichman, each closed out the event with season-highs in the 8K. “Ryley continues to impress me with her consistent performances no matter how she may be feeling,” distance coach Damon Griffiths told hurricanesports.com “Dylan has made gigantic progress in a year. He improved over two minutes and 70 positions. This shows his commitment to the process.”

Miami’s next competition will be at the USF Invitational Oct. 12 in Tampa, Florida.

Soccer

The Hurricanes dropped a pair of Atlantic Coast Conference matches 2-0 against Duke and Virginia Tech at Cobb Stadium.

Against the Blue Devils on Thursday night, Miami held the 12th-ranked team in the country scoreless for the first 43 minutes of action, but a late first half goal put Duke up, 1-0.

“Obviously, we had a couple errors and they were excellent at

capitalizing on them,” coach Sarah Barnes said. “Unfortunately, their first goal came off of us rushing a free kick with 90 seconds left in the half, which we were trying to stop and they got us in transition.”

In the 59th minute, the Blue Devils doubled their lead.

Duke’s Karlie Paschall boomed a ball over the top of Miami’s defense towards Taylor Racippi, who curled the ball into the right corner of the net.

“Bottom line is, in both boxes we just haven’t been good enough,” Barnes said. We have to capitalize when we have opportunities. And I thought that tonight we had as many [opportunities] as they did, we just have to be better at stopping theirs.”

On Sunday afternoon, against the Hokies, Virginia Tech stormed out to an early advantage.

Allyson Brown streaked towards the box and found the back of the net to put VT in front, 1-0.

Virginia Tech increase its lead seven minutes into the second half when Emmalee McCarter sent a cross near the far left post and Emily Gray headed it home to give the Hokies a 2-0 lead.

“I thought they outworked us in the second half,” Barnes said.

“It was hot, it was uncomfortable, and I thought that we gave in. I’m super disappointed with the second half. I think that was a game that we had done enough things right in the first half, that I thought if we could have built on that positively for the second, it was a game that we could have worked ourselves back into and get our first ACC win.”

The Hurricanes will look to end their three-game losing skid and pick up their first conference victory when Miami hosts Syracuse 7 p.m.

Sept. 29 at Cobb Stadium.

Yuna Ito and Ana Madcur were named co-champions of the B Main Draw. In the semifinals, Ito picked up a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Bella Lorenzini and Madcur registered a 6-3, 6-3 win against Lera Patiuk setting up the all-Miami final.

UM’s doubles teams dropped their matches earlier in day.

The pair of Lucia Marzal and Daniella Roldon lost, 4-6, to Florida’s Katie Kubicz and Marlee Zein in the B Main Draw third-place match.

Ito and Ulyana Shirkova surrendered a 3-0 lead to fall 7-6 (7-3) to Ole Miss’ Tea Jandric and Sabina Machalova.

Miami will host its final home tournament of the fall slate Oct. 1214 at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center in competition for the Bedford Cup.

Volleyball

Miami won back-to-back ACC matches against Wake Forest and Duke this past weekend at the James L. Knight Sports Complex.

On Friday evening, the Hurricanes opened up conference play with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 25-14) victory against the Demon Deacons.

Outside hitters Chloe Brown, Kolby Bird and Elizaveta Lukianova all finished with a team-high 10 kills.

Fifth-year senior setter Haley Templeton notched 30 assists to help Miami record an efficient .341 hitting percentage.

“The ACC is always tough and we never take it for granted,”

coach Jose “Keno” Gandara said.

“We were ready to play especially after last weekend. We maintained a high level of competition tonight, but there are somethings we’ll have to clean up.”

Less than 48 hours later, the Hurricanes extended their winning streak to four games with a 3-1 (2523, 23-25, 25-23, 25-23) win over Duke in front of a season-high attendance of 980 fans.

Bird led the Canes offense with a season-high 17 kills and two service aces.

“The crowd was awesome today and it’s definitely fun to play in front of that,” the senior outside hitter said. “We feel the energy on the court and we thrive off it.”

Lukianova chipped in 15 kills and Brown notched another doubledigit kill performance with 11.

Miami will look to stay undefeated in conference action when the Hurricanes travel to play Pittsburgh 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at the Fitzgerald Field House.

How to be a side hoe

Have a question for V? Email

As you know, V is a single lady. And I’m ready to mingle; I’m talking to and swiping right on some guys, hoping to find the man to fill the gaping hole in my body. (I mean my heart. Get your head out of the gutter.)

There’s one guy who seems really into me, but there’s a catch.

He’s ‘talking’ to another girl I know.

And that makes me a side hoe. It’s something I promised myself I would never become, but at this point, I’ll just take whatever attention I can get.

My momma always told me that no matter what I do, I should do it to the best of my ability. So here’s my take on how to be the best possible side hoe.

The best way to no longer be a side hoe is to become the main hoe.

The alpha female, shall we say.

(You know I like to be on top.)
