KIRK’S CAREER NIGHT CAN’T CARRY CANES
Donnavan Kirk rises above three Florida State defenders on his way to two of his career-high 21 points during Wednesday night’s 63-53 loss. The Canes held a 51-50 lead with 3:48 to play, but the Seminoles engineered a 13-0 run that put the game away. Miami senior Rion Brown also scored 21, including five 3-pointers, but the Hurricanes (9-7, 1-3 ACC) had no answers on defense down the stretch.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be visiting the University of Miami campus on Feb. 26. Clinton, who is the likely Democratic Party candiCLINTON date for the 2016 presidential election, served as the 67th U.S. Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. Most recently, Barbara Walters named Clinton “the Most Fascinating Person of 2013.” On the show, which aired for the first time in 2013, Clinton said she would decide whether she would run for president again “sometime next year.” Prior to that, she served as first lady to the U.S. and as senator of New York. In 2008, she ran for president of the United States but failed to win the nomination of the Democratic Party. The event will take place at the BankUnited Center at 8:30 p.m. More details about her visit, including the topic of her remarks, will be disclosed as the date approaches. The event is for the UM community, and ticket information will be available at miami.edu/clintonvisit. Clinton’s visit next month will mark her third appearance to campus in the last six and half years. She first came on Sept. 9, 2007, as part of the Democratic Presidential Candidates Forum. She later visited as a presidential candidate on May 21, 2008. UM President Donna E. Shalala, who served as the Secretary for Health and Human Services under former President Bill Clinton for eight years, expressed her sentiments about the upcoming visit. “I’m delighted our students will have the chance to listen to and learn from one of America’s most inspirational leaders and role models,” she said.

As students packed their bags to return home or were stuck in airports during the “polar vortex” at the onset of the new year, the University of Miami made some large and small headlines. Rumors about football coach Al Golden’s future with the university was called into question, and the first wedding was held at the Student Center Complex, which is comprised of the University Center Patio and Student Activities Center (SAC). Here is the Hurricane’s overview of these stories while students were away on break.

PHOTO COURTESY OF MONICA HERNDON WEDDING BELLS: Nick Moore and Wendy Moore (center) got married on Dec. 21 on the newly renovated UC Patio.
Alumni Nick Moore and Wendy de los Reyes married each other a few feet from where they first met in the University Center. “We love the university so much,” de los Reyes said. Theirs is the first marriage to be held at the new Student Center Complex. The wedding was held Dec. 21. The ceremony took place at the UC Patio, while the reception was in the center ballroom of the SAC. Brandon Gross, the assistant director of the Student Center Complex, helped Moore and De Los Reyes throughout the process. “We are so happy that they chose to get married at their alma mater, and we look forward to hosting many more special events,” Gross said. The Student Center Complex costs $1500 for the center ballroom and $1350 for alumni, faculty and staff. The UC Patio costs $1200 and $1000 for alumni, faculty and staff. Other ballrooms and rooms in the SAC can be reserved as well. According to the Student Center’s policy, reservations involving food, amplified sound, after-hours 2

use of the building must be made two weeks prior to the date of the event. Pat Whitely, vice president for Student Affairs, connected the couple to Gross. She was thrilled that the Student Complex was the wedding venue. “It was a wonderful evening and proved to be the perfect venue at the U for a very special wedding of our alum and current student,” Whitely said. The couple works on campus and is involved with the campus ministry group Campus Crusade for Christ, or Cru. They are taking gap years before applying for graduate school. Moore is considering programs in higher education administration and de los Reyes plans to continue her study of community psychology that began at UM. The couple met at a student organization meeting in the lower level of UC. They were e-board members of Random Acts of Kindness and resident assistants for Hecht. They dated for three years.

The Toppel Career Center has moved and is currently located behind Pavia Garage at the former site of the English Composition offices and Writing Center. Building renovations began Dec. 2012 and despite plans for opening on Aug. 26, 2013, the official opening will take place on Feb.7. The new center will be twice the size of its original 6,ooo-foot location. It is comprised of two buildings, a

North and South wing connected by a lobby and an outdoor courtyard. The North wing features a technology and recruiting area with interview labs, video conferencing rooms, an expanded computer lab and a lounge for employers. The career appointment, advising area and a multipurpose room on the second floor will be housed in the South Wing. The building will also be equipped with technology such as video conferencing and lecture capture that will allow students to view company information sessions online if they were not able to attend. “With these two types of technologies, the goal is to continue to provide our services without allowing geography to be a roadblock,” Executive Director for Toppel Christian Garcia said in an article published in The Miami Hurricane in August. The new career center cost approximately $4 million and was primarily funded by UM alumna Patricia Toppel, whom the building is named after along with her late husband, Harold Toppel, and the Parents Council, according to Garcia. Check out themiamihurricane.com/tmhtv for a video package on the new Toppel.
Miami football coach Al Golden reaffirmed his commitment to the Hurricanes in a press conference last week. While he did not specifically address any other schools, widespread speculation had attached Golden’s name to the vacant coaching job at Penn State after Bill O’Brien left that school for an NFL position. “I’m not a candidate for any other job, and I plan on being at the University of Miami,” Golden said to the media in his Jan. 6 press conference. Golden is a PSU alumnus who played tight end for the Nittany Lions and coached under the late Joe Paterno. Many in the college football community anticipated that Golden might jump at the chance to return to his alma mater. “It’s one of those things where I really don’t talk about other programs or universities,” said Golden, evading questions on whether he got an offer from Penn State. “I think it’s really just important that we talk about the University of Miami and the direction that we’re going.” Golden said his coaching staff – including defensive coordinator Mark D’Onofrio – would remain intact. “We’ve made a lot of progress in a lot of different areas, but we have a long way to go, and I never fail to recognize that.”

New helicopter hovers into university’s hands Research revolution anticipated BY LYSSA GOLDBERG OPINION EDITOR
The Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) made a unique purchase this holiday season: a helicopter. The Airbus helicopter will be transformed into a research vessel to make scientific observations, such as physical, chemical and biological processes that occur near the Earth’s surface. The helicopter was acquired in December, in part with funding from a $700,000 grant from the Batchelor Foundation. The helicopter observation platform (HOP) is the first of its kind and could take flight as soon as this summer. Leading the project, Kenny Broad, chair of the marine affairs and policy program, and Roni Avissar, RSMAS dean, will pilot the HOP during expeditions. “It’s probably the most exciting thing that I’ve seen so far because it is a novel approach and, undoubtedly, it will provide
answers to major scientific issues that we have not been able to address so far,” Avissar said. Broad said the helicopter can measure all sorts of processes important for understanding our climate, such as absorption of carbon dioxide by plants and the ocean, and how life on earth functions. It will be used to explore remote areas as well. The HOP is modeled after a prototype at Duke University, where Avissar chaired the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering before coming to the University of Miami. “I proposed at that time to equip a helicopter with instruments and fly close to the ground’s surface low and slow in the atmosphere,” he said. The HOP at UM will be like no other. “Helicopters are used in the research. However, transforming a full helicopter to make it dedicated to full research is very unique and the first worldwide,” he said. Much like with the research catamaran at RSMAS, excursions using the HOP will be dependent on funding from grants received from foundations as well as federal and state government.
Avissar submitted a grant application to NASA for about $28 million Friday that proposes using the HOP to revolutionize the way that carbon balance is measured in the United States. “When it comes to predictions of climate change, there is still a major unknown as to how much carbon is being absorbed,” he said. “It remains a big, big project, and we have proposed to NASA a new approach based on the flexibility and uniqueness of the helicopter.” The helicopter purchased by RSMAS has not yet been outfitted with all of the instruments required to transform it into the observation platform “We are in the process of selecting the different navigation, communication, autopilot components, and painting that is going to go on that helicopter,” he said. Once the ‘U’ logo finally adorns the HOP, it will be parked at a nearby airport. And at that point, both undergraduate and graduate students can expect to reap the benefits of this innovative resource. “Students will definitely be involved in the research, and there are many ways,” Broad said.
Analyzing the data collected by the HOP or even going on the expeditions, in certain cases, are two examples. “Something I would like to see is the university offering pilot training to students when not being used for research projects,” said sophomore Rick Thompson, who is majoring in marine science and geology. Although its primary purpose is for environmental and atmospheric research, Avissar foresees the HOP also being used by the College of Engineering and Miller School of Medicine. “I hope and anticipate that it will help us make additional connections with the medical school as well as engineering,” he said. “We will use it as the bridging instrument to make our connections with our colleagues across the university.” Senior Emily Northrop, who is majoring in marine science and geology, said she is interested to see how the helicopter can be used for human health studies. She thinks that combined with the RSMAS wind tunnel, which can simulate hurricane winds, this is a huge step for the school. “This, alongside the wind tunnel, must have other oceanographic institutions talking,” she said.

UMiami application receives new features, makeover New version includes smartphone upgrade BY ALINA ZERPA SENIOR NEWS WRITER
The UMiami Mobile App, the official cellphone application of the University of Miami, will introduce new changes this semester, including building maps and a UPrint update. Changes will include a new design of the dining and bookstore icons, an expansion of the directory to include the e-mails of faculty and staff, and an update to the maps module to offer specific information about what is inside each building. UPrint will also be incorporated so students can print from their phones. After the app’s initial release in the fall of 2011, the offices of Alumni Relations and University Communications will update the free app by the end of the first quarter of the semester to include new icons and modules. The app is available for all smart phones, but the updates for iPhone and Android will not occur for Blackberry, due to the fact that it is only 2 percent of the app’s market. There were only about 2,000 downloads for Blackberry, compared to Android’s 10,779 and iPhone’s 27,553 in 2013 alone. The app is known for its Emergency module because it is “unique to us,” according to Director of Online Communications Wendy Chun. The module
includes “Specific Action Guidelines” that gives instructions in case there is any dangerous activity, such as a hurricane or an explosion. “We plan on including the addresses of specific buildings, such as the Ungar Building, in case of any emergency,” Chun said. “The module also relies on internet availability but we are trying to make it independent in case the emergency is occurring where there is no WiFi.” Chun says UMiami is geared toward alumni and students alike, and the goal is to make it useful so that everybody can use it. New students are encouraged to download the app, especially during orientation, to familiarize themselves with the resources the university has available. “We tell the students about the app and highly encourage them to download it,” said Orientation Leader Alicia Santana. “There are bar codes on all the pamphlets, brochures, and even on the signs in the Student Activities Center.” However, students use the app for different reasons. “I mostly used it during football season to see the schedule,” sophomore Alessia Lavin said. Freshman William Singer used the app mostly for the Maps module to navigate the first days of school. “The Shuttle module was definitely the most useful part of the app that I used,” he said.

Student Health Service contributes to digital health magazine Online publication covers fitness, nutrition BY ALEXANDER GONZALEZ NEWS EDITOR
The Student Health Service is experimenting with a digital health magazine as a preventative measure. The University of Miami is subscribed to a national, online magazine called Student Health 101 (SH101). The magazine features six pages of original content specific to UM. The other 15 pages are the same for all subscribers. “The health and wellness of the campus community was our primary consideration in acquiring and creating content for SH101,” said Adam Troy, health educator for the Student Health Service.
Students who work as health outreach peer educators (HOPE) create and develop content for SH101. Campus services such as the Student Health Service, Wellness Center and Counseling Center also contribute. As health educator for the Student Health Service, Troy attempts to prevent health problems at the individual and population levels. He started his position last semester and made flu outreach, safe sex, HIV and other STD testing among his goals. “The specific purpose of health promotion in higher education is to support student success,” he said. SH101 is emailed to students and the university community once a month. Each issue is focused on a specific topic. December’s issue included articles about safer sex, since Dec. 1 is World AIDS Day. The magazine also covers broader topics that may not relate to health such as finding internships. Troy describes SH101 as a
“supplementary component” to the services offered at the Student Health Service, Wellness Center, Counseling Center, Dean of Students office and other student organizations. Health peer educators Madelyn Elia, Matt Graca and Elizabeth Guirado collaborated to create a video for the December edition. The group shot a video explaining the general topics that the magazine covers such as fitness and nutrition. “It was really fun to do,” Elia said. “I was doing handstands in the library and yoga between the book stacks.” HOPE will begin to meet regularly this semester and encourage members to submit articles for the publication, according to Elia, a human and social development major. “It’s written by students, revised by students, and for students,” she said. “It’s a cycle of beneficial knowledge that’s out there.” Jan. 16 - Jan. 22, 2014
Ansh Grover, the president of the UM chapter of United Against Infectious Diseases, believes in the outreach through publications like SH101. “The key to public health is awareness and education,” he said. “I think that a magazine like this can make initiatives that nonprofits like UAID head up much more effective on campus.” UAID aims to tackle more than infectious diseases. The organization focuses on public health awareness initiatives like free HIV testing on campus and in the community and promoting health literacy. According to Troy, anyone is welcome to submit material to the magazine by emailing the Student Health Service at healthed@ miami.edu. Content must be submitted by the 10th day of the month to be included in the next issue. To see the latest issue of SH101, visit readsh101.com/miami.html. THE MIAMI HURRICANE

OPINION
Foursquare user would understand that one doesn’t simply give up the chance to collect so many points. I thought the task of surrendering participation on four social media accounts would be easy – but my family made it difficult. Any time we’d arrive at a restaurant or hotel with Wi-Fi, all eight of my family members would take out their cellphones and connect to any of the social media networks I’d forbidden for myself. Although I found it difficult, I did feel like I communicated with the people I was spending my time with more effectively, and I enjoyed focusing solely on my family. Though I decided to end my hiatus from social media a day earlier than I had planned, I do believe that a detox is beneficial for shaping relationships and practicing more effective communication. I appreciated the benefits that my absence from social media provided me with, but my fear of missing out surpasses my desire to connect with more people than those I surround myself with at any given moment. I like to feel like I’m a part of something larger. Even so, I stand by Albert Einstein’s statement. “I fear the day technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” It’s still not that severe, but we shouldn’t let it get to that point. Put down your phone every once in a while and enjoy the company you’re around.

complish last year? For me, the answer misses the goal. Usually, New Year’s Eve rolls in, and I’m on a holiday high. I can’t help but be starry-eyed and consider the opportunities riddling the next 365 days. Promise upon promise is made: become more fit, catch up on my reading and make more money, all by the end of the year. Eventually, these promises degrade into problems: daily jog routines run into a wall, Facebook keeps my face out of books and I’m a college student, so no money there. Months march on, and nothing gets done. Frankly, I soon consider the year a fail. Why do some of my – and perhaps yours as well – resolutions fall by the wayside once the year starts rolling?

During winter break, I caught up with a friend from high school, and she talked about her experience spending a semester away from Facebook. I decided to follow in her footsteps and make my big disconnect during the two week trip my family planned to Europe over winter break.

HURRICANE
How we treat our resolutions breeds their irresolution. We’ve trapped ourselves into thinking that everything we do falls along a strict timeline: to accomplish goal A is to do X, Y and Z by times one, two and three, exclusively. This idea isn’t wholly bad; when you have an assignment due soon, a strict timeline is needed. The same applies to anything physical that has to be done by a certain time. Changing intangible things, however, cannot be restricted to a timeline. People often resolve to be healthier or smarter with decisions – tasks linked to improving self-image. Self-image isn’t an assignment that can be started and completed. It’s something developed and altered throughout our lives. Confining this process to 365 days is like taking the stress of a lifetime and stuffing it into a year. We simply can’t handle that. If you thought finals week was bad, try a “finals” year. Resolutions, then, need to be prolonged goals, rather than items on a timely list. Change can happen at any time. Didn’t reach your goal from a year ago? Not a problem. Keep working at it. The time between who you are now and who you wish to be is limitless. Sherman Hewitt is an undeclared freshman.

College coaches use loopholes to dodge accountability
W
earing these colors, representing this state, representing these high school coaches and the people of the fine state of Pennsylvania is what I want to do for a very, very long time.” In the world of college football, statements like these are the convention; loyalty and commitment to the proCOREY JANSON SPORTS gram are the ultimate virtues, the COLUMNIST vaunted declarations of allegiance. They are fundamental, biological even: “Oh, you bleed garnet and gold? I bleed orange and green.” But fickle commitments and loopholes are abound in the world of college football. The statements are just words, not a contract or guarantee. These displays of commitment and loyalty are mangled into grammatical debates about words withheld rather than words said. Assumptions have become more important than assertions, and loopholes have become big enough to not just jump through, but to parade through. On f loats.
Just last week, Al Golden made his future job prospects clear: “I am appreciative of just what we have here at UM, and I am not a candidate for another position.” At least, he was clear to the casual college football fan. The most astute, though? Sure, he may not have been a candidate right then, but what if Penn State simply had not offered the job yet? Not to worry. “I’m here, and I plan to be a coach at the University of Miami,” he said. Do you see it there, the loophole? Careful, do not fall in. Coach Golden planned to be at the University of Miami, but as it is with plans, they are apt to change, sometimes because of bad weather, a f light cancellation, or even an unexpected job offer to be the 16th head coach of your alma mater’s historic football team. Thankfully, Coach Golden’s plans did not change, and he will remain our football coach. But that does not mean that they could not have changed. And that is the problem. These loopholes are rampant, and the moral adjudicator overseeing it all, the NCAA, allows this to be so—for coaches. Coaching contracts and subsequent extensions are merely suggestions of employment without penalty for the wouldbe violators, the grownup leaders of young men who preach ad nauseam to “put the program first.” Players,
however, are definitively bound to the letters of intent that they sign when they are just 17 and 18 years old— break their word, and the NCAA’s moralistic enforcement staff reigns upon them, taking away for a year the very thing that may have paved their way to college in the first place. But what about the players who, when deciding which school to play for, relied on the promises made by the coaches they invited into their homes? Or the players’ parents, who look across their tables into the eyes of the men whom they are trusting to shepherd their sons through these crucial four years of not only football, but also life? The NCAA says: Get over it. So, “Representing these high school coaches and the people of the fine state of Pennsylvania is what I want to do for a very, very long time.” That is the coach Penn State did hire, Vanderbilt’s James Franklin. “This is my dream job,” he said, “this is where I want to be.” Well, until the NFL comes calling. No need to tell his players that, though; they will be left behind anyway. Corey Janson is a senior majoring in psychology and political science.
Take part in the evolution of English
Get friendly with Greeks
hile most New Year’s resolutions seem to entail caring more— about family, health or charitable causes— mine requires caring less, specifically about grammatical mistakes. ALEXA LANGEN LANGUAGE That’s right. By COLUMNIST 2015, my friends will no longer have to cringe in frightened anticipation of my rage when they let slip an incorrect preposition or mix up the verbs “lay” and “lie.” I’ve realized that my tiresome habit of pouncing on every misspoken word does more to fuel my own sense of superiority than to make any meaningful contributions to the way English is spoken. No, the language will not crumble over errors that don’t even obscure a sentence’s meaning. And when we spend so much time fixated on these mistakes, we miss the opportunity to help English develop. Of course, language will change no matter what. For example, nobody initiated the Great Vowel Shift, which took place during the 15th and 18th centuries and affected the pronunciation of certain English vowels. However, it is possible to exercise a degree of control over the English language. The word “selfie” didn’t arise from a gradual linguistic process. Instead, it directly addresses a popular cultural phenomenon for which there was

There’s COLUMNIST the constant slew of girls obsessing over the new pledge class and new sisterhood, announcing how much they love their sisters and little or big. Being in a Greek organization, I can see how non-Greeks can have a problem with our on-campus presence. The stigma of obsessing over partying and Starbucks, the cult-like atmosphere and the assumption that we see ourselves as better than other students can be obnoxious. On the other hand, Greeks are plenty sick of explaining the powerful friendships and successful philanthropic efforts that come out of it. This has always bothered me, as my non-Greek friends have remained the same since joining my sorority. A person’s choice of organization should never dictate their relationships. Going Greek has made my college experience that much better, but I will also never forget the friends that I made during orientation my

previously no word. Like sliced bread, its creation filled a void, and “selfie” soon transformed from a mere fad into the Oxford English Dictionary’s word of the year for 2013. New vocabulary is not the only consequence of linguistic innovation. In 2014, English may stand to gain a new punctuation mark, thanks to a woman named Ellen Susan. Called the ElRey, it looks like an exclamation mark with an extra dot on top, and would act as an alternative to the apparent heartlessness of a period (“It’s fine if you’re running late.”) and the excessive enthusiasm of an exclamation mark (“It’s fine if you’re running late!”). It has a long way to go before being incorporated onto modern keyboards and in standard font collections, but it seems to make sense – and besides, a few years ago, not many people believed your perky headshot of you in the bathroom mirror deserved its own unique place in English, either. We have a lot more power than we realize to affect the English language, especially with social media helping fads spread. If you think English needs its own word for “the result of attempting to revive an unworkable relationship,” make it happen. Whether we like it or not, English is going places, and my resolution for 2014 is not to follow it idly, but to take the reins and help steer its passage.

freshman year. These friends may not have gone Greek, but the beauty of that is how little of a difference it makes. Sure, I was slightly delusional and difficult to deal with over the past week of girl f lirting that is recruitment, but my non-Greek roommates have accepted that this is what I love and have supported me through it. Although they may laugh at my chants and make fun of my obsession with my little, my roommates are the girls who have fed me and brought me candy at the end of those long days. There are plenty of differences between Greeks and non-Greeks. However, the differences are infinitesimal. If you choose to ignore the negative attitude presented by the other side, you can understand that a Greek organization is nothing more than that—an organization. It is like any other club that anyone else is a part of. So whether you’re Greek or not, don’t let it cloud your judgment or choice of friends. We’re all still Miami Hurricanes. We all attend the best school in Florida. We should put our prejudices and excuses aside and work toward bettering our already fantastic alma mater. Alexa Pappas is a junior majoring in journalism.

No. 9 Miami women to host invitational Men’s team looks to build on win over FAU BY NEIL DWYER SENIOR SPORTS WRITER
NICK GANGEMI // ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR EYE CONTACT: Senior Gabriel Flores whips a forehand return during his win this past Sunday. Miami cruised past Florida Atlantic, 7-0, and will head to Orlando to face UCF this weekend.
After a long fall of training and tournaments, the UM men’s and women’s tennis teams are back in full swing. The men’s team stormed into the season with a rousing 7-0 match win over the Florida Atlantic Owls this past Sunday. Every player starred, from veterans Diego Soto and Gabriel Flores to freshman Miami native Bernard Tefel. Tefel, the 16th-ranked Florida recruit, defeated Harrison Heysek in straight sets (6-2, 6-0.) One aspect the Canes have improved so far is their doubles game, in which they swept all three matches. Sophomore William Albanese said this was a major focus in their offseason training. “One of the biggest points the coaches focused on last fall was the improvement of our doubles,” Albanese said. “Last season we failed to win doubles points and when we looked back on the season we all saw how that could’ve dramatically changed our record.” Albanese won both his singles (6-2, 6-3) and doubles matches (with partner Henrique Tsukamoto, 6-1) against FAU. The Miami men travel to Orlando to take on last year’s Conference USA runners-up, the UCF Knights, Sunday at noon. Albanese added that while the dominating win over the Owls built confidence, “the seniors have really been stressing to stay focused on the next match in front of us and nothing beyond that.” “You can’t get too high after a win or too low after a loss,” he said. Meanwhile, the No. 9 Lady Canes are looking to build off a tremendous 2013 season, one that saw Jan. 16 - Jan. 22, 2014
them advance through the NCAA Tournament all the way to the Elite Eight. Miami traveled to Urbana, Ill., but was eliminated by Texas A&M. Coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews returns all of her players from last season, including 52nd-ranked sophomore Stephanie Wagner. Wagner had an impressive fall; she reached the quarterfinals of the ITA Women’s Regionals in Athens, Ga. Yaroshuk-Tews has already noticed a big difference from her freshman year. “Stephy definitely is in a better place – more mature, more emotionally sound going into this season than she was going into last season,” she said. This coming weekend, Miami welcomes Texas, Vanderbilt and Memphis for the annual Miami Spring Invite, held each January at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center. Miami narrowly won the weekend event last year with 87 points over Vanderbilt (86), Texas (85) and Texas A&M (81). Vanderbilt comes into the Invite ranked 16th and Texas is 17th. “Texas, coming in with Breaunna Addison, they’re going to be a tough team,” Yaroshuk-Tews said. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for whoever plays her in the top of the lineup. [These are] all good teams, all teams that we could see deep in the Tournament.” Yaroshuk-Tews expects a weekend of “amazing tennis.” “I can promise whoever comes out here anywhere from 9 until 3 o’clock Friday, Saturday, Sunday that they’re going to be pretty impressed with the level of tennis, with the excitement of tennis, with the competition that’s going to be taking place on these courts,” she said.

PUNTER HONORED

NCAA UPDATE
All-ACC punter Pat O’Donnell has won the College Football Performance Awards 2013 Punter Trophy, announced Monday.
Miami hoped it could lighten the NCAA’s scholarship reductions for the Hurricanes football team, based on the merit of UM’s previous selfimposed penalties.
O’Donnell set a single-season record for the Hurricanes with a 47.1-yard punt average. He landed 19 of his 53 punts inside the 20-yard line, and recorded 23 punts of 50-plus yards.
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL The Hurricanes are on the road to face Boston College at 7 p.m. Thursday. Miami is coming off its second ACC win of the season, a 64-62 victory over Virginia Tech.
However, a CBS Sports report on Wednesday revealed that the NCAA will not back off the nine total scholarships it docked Miami through the next three seasons.
O’Donnell and linebacker Denzel Perryman were Miami’s only two players named first-team All-ACC. He will be honored for his Performance Award during halftime of the men’s basketball game against Duke next Wednesday.
After Thursday’s matchup with the Eagles, the Canes will return home as their conference schedule continues against N.C. State at the BankUnited Center. Tipoff for that game is set for 2 p.m. Sunday.
A full team roster comprises 85 scholarship athletes per year, while Miami will now have to stick with 82 per year.
Former receiver Leonard Hankerson is the only other Hurricane to win a College Football Performance Award, which he claimed in 2010.
Miami has been paced so far this year by leading scorer Caprice Dennis, a sophomore who is averaging 13.8 points per game.
The awards are given based on calculations that determine a player’s effectiveness and how much value he adds to his team.
The Hurricanes reportedly used only 76 of their 85 alloted scholarships in 2013, attempting to prove their compliance with the NCAA investigation and soften the punishment UM received in October. Spencer Dandes may be emailed at sports@themiamihurricane.com.

V, DEAR V
During a past relationship I received some nude selfies from my then partner. This fine dame kindly requested that I delete the images she sent me. I told her I would consider deleting the images. Is it weird that I do not feel morally obligated to delete the images? Should I delete the images? Sincerely, Pornographer
I’ve stumbled upon sexy snaps ...
Dear Zac Efron, I get the allure of nude pictures. They’re fun and exciting and they’re an easy way to get rid of your blue balls when you’re home for the break. I understand you, you and me … we’re connected on a spiritual level. Nevertheless, have some respect for this girl and delete the pictures. The poor thing probably thinks that you’ve done it already. That she can put all her worries aside and ignore the nagging feeling in the pit of her stomach that one day she’ll be connected to an Anthony Weiner scandal. She probably has no idea that, even when you do delete the pictures, they will be forever stored in some magical iCloud that any second-semester computer engineering student will be able to decode, bless her heart. I don’t know if it’s weird that you don’t feel morally obligated to delete
the images. You dated her and I’m assuming it was a good relationship at some point so you should at least respect her enough to delete them. Think about it this way: What if you were dating some girl and her ex still had nudes of her? You’d probably feel uncomfortable about that. I know I would. Just think about Vanessa Hudgens and her very public lady bits. What would Jesus do? V P.S. Revenge porn is currently only illegal in the state of New York ... Do with that what you will.
GOT AN ACHY, BREAKY HEART? WRITE TO DEARV@THEMIAMIHURRICANE.COM FOR ADVICE.
WANT TO CAPTURE THE ACTION? Interested in being in front of the camera and producing video stories? THEN WE ARE THE PLACE FOR YOU. The Miami Hurricane is hiring videographers. Send your portfolio to tmhtv@ themiamihurricane. com. Jan. 16 - Jan. 22, 2014
