The Save a Child’s Heart Foundation flies Middle Eastern kids into Israel for lifesaving heart surgeries that they would otherwise not be able to afford.

This fundraiser raised more than $2,500 for the charity.

At 13-years-old, Alex Velasquez was pushing drugs to put food on the table for his struggling family. Now, the 18-year-old works 14-hour days managing a food truck business operation, known as VIBE 305.

Velasquez is one of many at-risk youth whose lives have been changed by Empowered Youth, Inc. (EY).

The local organization works with boys who have been through the Florida’s juvenile justice system. It partners with the University of Miami, which provides training and mentoring for boys like Velasquez.

He will be bringing the organization’s VIBE 305 food truck to campus from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday as part of its weekly rounds.

Founder Colleen Adams said the young men who enter the program are her heroes.

“The analogy is that these young men are living in a war zone,” Adams said. “People who never really suffered or never grew up in poverty, they don’t understand the desperation that that kind of hopelessness brings.”

Adams said that poverty drives kids to crime, especially in impoverished neighborhoods because they don’t know of positive alternatives.

“They may be robbing houses or breaking into cars or selling drugs – they may be doing a myriad of things that are available to them in the confines of this very narrow group of resources,” she said.

“They end up doing bad things in order to survive.”

Velasquez grew up in poverty and sold drugs because he had access to them.

“I tried to get money by selling drugs,” he said.

“I just knew the right person and I knew where to get it, how to get it and I knew how to move it around.”

Runner raises money for Engineers Without Borders Funds raised to aid project in Ecuador

BY ASHLEY MARTINEZ ASSISTANT EDITOR

Clean, running water is difficult to come by in many developing countries, so junior Elaine Golden has dedicated herself to running for clean water.

Golden will participate in her first halfmarathon in the Miami Marathon on Sunday.

She will run to raise money for the UM chapter of Engineers Without Borders’ (EWB) Ecuador Project. The project supports building a community’s sewage system.

“It actually provides a lot of motivation because when I’m struggling, I know it’s for something bigger, but also for me,” Golden said.

The project is a partnership between the UM EWB chapter and the community of Las Mercedes in Ecuador. They aim to connect the hundreds of homes in the community to the main sewage system.

The community is below sea level, and due to rudimentary septic tanks, flooding is frequent, causing sewage to pour into the streets. Creating a sewage system will help prevent the spread of waterborne diseases and parasites, according to sophomore Natasha Koermer, a biomedical engineering student who works with the Ecuador project and is the vice president of EWB. “I hope to reduce the prevalence of waterborne illness just so that everyone can live healthier,” Koermer said. “I feel that people deserve

those sorts of resources within their communities. It’s something we take for granted within the United States.”

Golden, an international studies major, is not an engineering student, but has a passion for water and sanitation.

“I think there are basic things that every person should have, and I get very upset when people don’t have those basic things and I think access to water and sanitation is so fundamental,” she said. “It’s a very important place to start in making sure everyone has a good quality of life.”

This project is a five-year partnership. Students have already gone on an assessment trip and hope to begin implementation of the plan over the summer.

The government of Las Mercedes is funding half the project, and EWB has a group goal of raising $20,000 to buy pipes and materials to connect houses to the sewer line. The group has already raised $15,000, according to Koermer.

Golden’s hope is to raise $1,000. She has suggested people sponsor her for $13 – a dollar for every mile.

Golden sees this half-marathon as a good way to achieve her personal fitness goals while promoting a cause she is passionate about.

“It’s a nice balance,” she said. “Having the cause provides a lot of motivation. When you’re running and things get really hard, you can just think about that sometimes people have to walk really long distances for clean water and then sometimes people just don’t have it.”

Golden attributes her goals to attending the LeaderShape Institute conference through UM, which helped students refine their project ideas.

HALLEE MELTZER // STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER COMPETING FOR A CAUSE: Elaine Golden poses for a portrait on Tuesday on the indoor track at the Wellness Center.

With just the hope of universal access to water and sanitation, Golden learned skills at the conference to refine her plans.

“It was a catalyst,” she said. “It helped me take a broad idea that I had been considering in the back of my mind and take that from just an idea and transform that into concrete action steps and plans.”

She hopes to tailor her international studies honors thesis to combine her background in Geographic Information Systems and the area of water and sanitation.

Her future plans include applying to the Peace Corps, various non-governmental organizations and possibly earning a master’s degree in international development.

“I definitely see myself spending most of my time abroad,” Golden said. “I know there are serious issues within the states and it’s important for me to understand those, but the most pressing needs for people, I think, are outside of the United States.”

MILLER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Academic requirements change for better preparation New courses offer broader knowledge

BY ALEXANDER GONZALEZ NEWS EDITOR

Prerequisite courses for University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine will change on June 1 to include several new courses, in keeping with an overall trend in admissions.

Requirements will now include a semester of biochemistry and two semesters of behavioral science. The organic chemistry requirement will also be reduced to one semester from two. These courses are in addition to the typical year of biology, year of general chemistry and year of physics already required.

The behavioral science requirement can be fulfilled in any humanities, bioethics, psychology and sociology courses, according to Miller’s website. The semester of biochemistry will take the place of a second semester of organic chemistry.

“The change reflects a national trend to add these courses to better prepare students

first to take the new MCAT 2015, which will include these subjects,” said Richard Weisman, associate dean of admissions at Miller.

The changes will impact the class of 2015 and has been publicized on Miller’s website since January 2013, Weisman said.

The MCAT is the standardized exam needed to gain admission to most medical degree-granting programs. The exam will change in spring 2015 and will include a new section called the Psychological, Social and Biological Foundations of Behavior, based on psychological and sociological knowledge.

Biochemistry will also become more emphasized in the biological sciences and physical chemistry sections of the exam.

“The MCAT drives what the medical schools want,” said Michael Gaines, the director of the pre-health office.

Natascha Zorilla, president of the premedical fraternity Phi Delta Epsilon, had not heard about the changes when asked.

She plans to relay that information to fraternity members and incorporate that information into a presentation about Miller.

Zorilla does not intend to apply to medical school until 2015. She will be graduating

with her bachelor’s degree in December, but will not have the biochemistry requirement.

She hopes to enroll in a master’s program and take the class.

“I’ll find a way,” she said.

Darrell Kirch, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), calls the new exam “better” in a letter published in the AAMC’s website. The changes are meant to prepare students “... who have the potential to become the best doctors,” Kireth said.

Weismann agrees with Kirch that these academic changes can “prepare tomorrow’s physicians for the challenges they will face.”

Gaines has found that social science courses like sociology and anthropology have been “neglected” in preparing future physicians.

“We need to take a holistic view in terms how physicians practice medicine,” he said.

Zorilla agrees that physicians should learn to understand how people behave.

“You cannot have a doctor who’s a robot,” she said.

Miller is one of many schools that are modifying admissions requirements. Duke Jan. 30 - Feb. 2, 2014

University School of Medicine, for example, is specifying a psychology, sociology and statistics course for students applying in 2015.

For students applying to enter in 2016, Harvard Medical School will modify the academic requirements needed for admission.

The process recommends foreign language courses and is expanded the definition of laboratory courses. The teaching labs associated to the lecture class will not necessarily be required – any lab experience will count.

NEW ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO MILLER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AFTER JUNE 2014 1 semester of biochemistry 1 semester of organic chemistry 2 semesters of behavioral science that includes humanities, psychology and sociology courses 2 semesters of English 2 semesters of general chemistry 2 semesters of physics 2 semesters of biology

Struggling teen finds second chance to change paths EMPOWERED YOUTH FROM PAGE 1

Boys in the program are given training by various organizations, including UM. Danielle Houck, UM professor of business communication, organizes her students to create customized coursework for classes for the Youth Entrepreneur Series (YES). Topics covered include resume building, appropriate interview attire and business etiquette. More than 100 of her UM students have been involved in the lives of EY children.

“More than survival, as far as the business concepts, it’s giving them confidence,” said Houck, who called the food truck a vehicle to move EY boys to better futures.

Velasquez, 18, entered the program three years ago. He now manages the VIBE 305 food truck. He had a natural knack for business that was refined by the UM training.

Velasquez and his brother Ali were running their own drug operation as children, providing clients with cocaine and ecstasy to sell on the street. Velasquez felt pressured to provide for his younger siblings, and turned to drug sales – putting himself at risk.

According to the federally funded National Criminal Justice Reference Service, in 2010 the rate of total violent crime against children ages 12 to 17 was about 35 percent.

According to the Harvard Educational Review, 20 percent of kids in urban areas have witnessed murder and 25 percent have been physically threatened.

At age 15, Velasquez was seriously injured in a fight with a drug dealer who owed him money.

“He wasn’t by himself and I was, and that’s where things went bad,” he said. “I got stabbed – well shanked – in my back, because stabbed, I would’ve been dead.”

Deciding he had too much potential to ruin his life over drugs, Velasquez turned to EY, where Adams accepted him with welcome arms.

The mission of EY is to engender social support and self-esteem building to “at-risk” boys through entrepreneurial training in an effort to steer them away from negative behavior.

Adams said the food truck and other businesses, such as EY StreetWear, the group’s clothing line, are vital to keeping the program alive, particularly because people avoid providing job opportunities to labeled youth.

“They are amazing,” she said. “They CHLOE HERRING // CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER are smart and resourceful. They are survivors.

OPINION

The Miami

We no longer have to wait for a bell to release us at the end of the day, and we shouldn’t have to wait through an entire football game to return to campus safely if we don’t want to.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Stephanie Parra

Football task force has much to consider The Division of Student Affairs is creating a task force to address shuttle transportation to Sun Life Stadium as well as challenges with student ticketing. This has left many on The Miami Hurricane editorial board wondering what kind of “challenges” the university is really facing.

We’re worried that the administration may be attempting to fix something that isn’t broken.

Among the concerns are the “disproportionate increase in ridership returning to campus” and ensuring that “students are at the stadium to support their team,” according to a memorandum sent out by Patricia Whitely, the vice president for student affairs, who called for the task force.

The shuttle buses to Sun Life Stadium provide a safe and convenient transportation for a range of students. Freshmen residents benefit, but so do commuters looking to save money on gasoline and parking, as well as students without cars who just can’t find a ride.

Students pay a $138 annual athletics fee, and as such, are entitled to safe transport to and from our football stadium, which is a lengthy 22-mile drive away. It shouldn’t matter that more students are riding the buses back. Maybe those just want to leave before their driver does.

Beyond that, what is the harm in having more students who register for tickets than actually show up to the game? Maybe a student registered but decided to opt out.

If the task force chooses to limit the availability of buses in any way – whether by making return times closer to the end of the game, or by only allowing students to take the shuttle back if they rode it to the stadium – it may lead to dangerous outcomes.

The editorial board hopes that the task force will not ignore the fact that students drink at the game. Alcohol is sold within the stadium to individuals who are of legal drinking age.

For students who are unable to drive back to campus – because they are freshman, are under the influence, or simply want to leave the stadium earlier – the shuttles are the best option. Much like the Ibis Ride to Coconut Grove, the buses are a service offered by the university that promotes safety and responsibility.

A change in the busing policy will not lead to a change in the culture of football games and tailgating at UM. Students who want to tailgate will continue to do so, regardless of whether they’ve secured a ride back. And if the university

MANAGING EDITOR Margaux Herrera

fails to provide rides for students under these circumstances, it could lead to consequences, such as drunk driving.

College students don’t like to be forced to do anything. We no longer have to wait for a bell to release us at the end of the day, like we were in grade school, and we shouldn’t have to wait through an entire football game to return to campus safely if we don’t want to.

If the university is concerned about the poor lack of student support, the above changes won’t boost it. Students who usually leave early may not even attend, and there will be fewer students in the stands at the start of the game than the number that remain after halftime.

Ultimately, students will resent a new policy that introduces unnecessary complications. If it comes down to a choice between staying home and being trapped in the sweltering heat for more than three hours at a stadium that involves a nearly 45-mile round trip drive, many will opt to skip out on the football game entirely. So much for school spirit. Let’s just keep the options open.

Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hurricane editorial board.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Counseling Center works to improve service n The Miami Hurricane’s opinion piece, Campus Must Care for Mental Health (Jan. 26, 2014), The Hurricane’s editorial board reminds us of the importance of embracing a most difficult dialogue about the curERNESTO ESCOTO rent state of mental health DIRECTOR OF UM’S among college students.

COUNSELING In this opinion piece, the CENTER editorial board also mentions the recent loss by suicide of Madison Holleran, a student-athlete at the University of Pennsylvania.

The death by suicide of Ms. Holleran is indeed sad, and while we can only imagine how family, friends, and the UPenn community have been impacted by her loss, we genuinely keep her and her family and friends in our thoughts and prayers.

After accidents, suicide is the second leading cause of death among U.S. college students. Multiple fac-

I

tors play a role in a suicide, including psychiatric illness, neurobiology, impulsiveness, hopelessness, medical history, psychological vulnerability, suicidal behavior, access to weapons, severe medical illness, substance use/abuse, trauma history, family history and isolation.

So I commend and sincerely thank The Miami Hurricane editorial board for encouraging all of us to establish and maintain a dialogue around college mental health concerns. This dialogue can help us increase awareness and educate ourselves and others on these issues, including ways of supporting others in need and connecting them to the appropriate resources within the University of Miami.

Our resources include programs such as Canes Care for Canes, the University Troubleshooters, our campus suicide prevention program UM Unites, the Academic Resource Center, the Student Health Center, and obviously, the Counseling Center, to name a few. Several staff members of UM’s Department of Housing and Residential Life are trained to assist others in need, including mental health

concerns. If you are a student interested in getting involved, organizations such as COPE and BARE, both housed within the Counseling Center, offer opportunities to engage in this meaningful dialogue and participate in the education of others. Faculty and Staff can also volunteer as part of the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART).

Last, with regards to the Counseling Center’s wait list problem highlighted in this editorial piece, the Counseling Center has taken this issue very seriously and is currently taking the necessary steps to address staffing issues as well as modifications to the point-of-entry process for students. The latter will contribute to a more prompt screening of a student’s concerns by a professional counselor. If you are interested in our services or have feedback to share, you may reach us at 305-284-5511. If you see someone in need, do something.

Ernesto Escoto is the director of UM’s Counseling Center.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Spring election dates approach elcome to the January edition of the monthly Student Government (SG) column. I’ll be highlighting all the exciting things we have in store for the semester.

One of the biggest ADAM ORSHAN SG PRESS things SG has coming SECRETARY up is spring elections.

In these elections, you will be voting to elect new executive officers (president, vice president and treasurer) as well as new senators. This is an incredibly important time, as the people you elect will be representing you and your interests to the rest of the campus community. A detailed elections calendar, as well as other information about elections will be available on miami.edu/sg.

Voting will begin Feb. 17.

ECO Agency will be running the Killa-Watt competition from Feb. 17 to March 7. This competition will take place across 11 buildings on campus that currently have the LUCID software installed, which tracks realtime energy use. The building that saves the most energy at the end of the competition will be crowned the winner and be given a prize.

ECO will be tabling in the Hecht and Stanford residential college lobbies to provide more information.

We also have a few programs coming up later in the semester, including a trip to the Venetian Pools and the State of the U address on March 20. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for details.

I’d also like to highlight a few initiatives that have been completed. Student Government worked with Dining Services, and we are proud to say smoothies will now occasionally be available in both the Hecht-Stanford and Mahoney-Pearson dining halls. We are also excited that construction has begun on an outdoor fitness court located on the Intramural Fields near the Wellness Center.

We are also happy with how well Spring Kickoff went. A collaboration between SG and Canes Night Live, the event was a tremendous success. Around 925 students attended an evening filled with funnel cakes, whack-a-mole, a pet costume contest, a pie eating contest and much more.

Let us know what SG can do for you by stopping by the SG Office in SAC 210 or finding us on online at facebook.com/UMiamiSG, twitter.com/UMiamiSG and miami. edu/sg.

Christie’s foul play calls leadership into question raffic jams are a hassle no matter what the cause. But when a traffic jam is deliberately staged for political gain, far bigger issues arise.

Recently surfaced emails among New Jersey governor Chris Christie’s staff indicate that the Sept. 9 lane closures on the George Washington Bridge suggest foul play. There is now suspicion that the traffic DAVID SILVERMAN may have been created to retaliate against POLITICS Fort Lee mayor Mark Sokolich, who did not COLUMNIST endorse Christie in his re-election bid in November. Last week, the federal government issued 20 subpoenas to individuals and organizations implicated in the scandal – requiring them to submit relevant documents by Wednesday or face severe legal penalties.

Christie claims he is a centrist Republican who can work across the aisle to produce compromise. But having subordinates run wild, orchestrating politically motivated revenge against members of another political party, should shed doubt on this promise.

This story first made headlines when incriminating emails surfaced in early January. Christie’s aide, Bridget Anne Kelly, emailed bridge manager David Wildstein to order the closures.

Christie had hired Kelly in 2010 and was promoted to a prominent administration position in 2013.

T

A good friend of Christie, Wildstein received his job through Christie’s patronage. Kelly’s email stated, “Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.” Wildstein’s reply was, “Got it.”

Christie has expressed deep regret and shock over the bridge closures. However, his apology seems out of place. In a December press conference before the scandal broke, Christie sarcastically stated, “I worked the cones, actually. Unbeknownst to everybody, I was actually the guy out there.”

This statement suggests little sympathy or care for the problems created by the bridge closure. Christie has now retracted that statement, claiming he didn’t know that his administration had actually ordered the closures.

This incident seems part of a larger trend of bullying practiced by the Christie administration. After sacking his aide Kelly, Christie said in a press conference, “I am not a bully” – a statement that should fall on deaf ears.

If Christie hopes to move beyond his post in New Jersey and run for president, he will need to present a respectable image to the majority of Americans.

Many students will be voting in the election come 2016.

When selecting a new leader for the country, it is imperative that this choice be made in the context of a candidate’s prior decisions. A governor who engages in minor political squabbles cannot make a good case to the American people about his ability to lead the nation.

FASHION

Fight winter weather with friendly fashion

BY ALEXANDRA DIBACCO CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

It is officially “winter” in Miami, which for Floridians means the time of the year when we can go outside without the fear of heatstroke.

Now is also the time that the winter woes hit. The challenge of trying to rock the newest thermal fashions in Miami can leave you looking out of place and feeling like a sweaty mess. How do you dress like it’s winter when the temperatures could reach 70 degrees by noon?

Many use this three-month window as an opportunity to wear leggings and Uggs all day, every day, but there are plenty of options to get your winter fix.

Follow these simple tips to stay trendy, comfortable and weather appropriate all season.

GO LIGHT AND LAYERED Opt for winter styles but wear lighter fabrics, such as cotton, linen, and thin silk. Choose blazers rather than heavier

coats and short, delicate cardigans instead of larger, heavier sweaters.

Silk blouses are a must-have.

They give the appearance of being a winter shirt but are light enough for almost any day and are easy to layer if it gets chilly. Try to wear a seasonally appropriate article of clothing on one half of your body and a summery piece on the other, such as a blazer with a blouse and shorts, or cropped jeans with a light sweater.

WINTER COLORS Even while wearing light fabrics, you can still achieve the winter “look” with

coloring alone. Choose darker jeans and pants and shirts in muted or pale colors. Black is a staple right now, so play it up by using it as your base color.

Keep nail polish ebony hued, such as cherry black or charcoal.

er look that the season calls for. Rain boots are always good in Miami and are lighter than Uggs. Opt for combat boots or booties instead of tall boots in order to stay cooler while adapting to the changing climate.

EVENING ATTIRE The Miami winter nights can get chilly, so make sure to put a leather jacket over a dress, or pair of jeans and boots with an elegant chiffon shirt. Try to avoid open toed heels, since the pressure on your toes makes them get cold quickly.

ACCESSORIES J e w e l ry should be kept simple in the winter, so choose studs and long necklaces, or classic bracelets.

Beanies will always temper any out-ofseason outfit, and they protect your hair from the sun.

Lightweight scarves can also be a good addition to your outfit.

FOOTWEAR Although you can still get away with sandals or f lip f lops occasionally, invest in some nice close toed shoes for the winter months.

days until Miami solidifies its recruiting class on National Signing Day. The Hurricanes are among 12 top football programs to be featured on ESPN’s continuous live coverage on Wednesday.

THE WEEK AHEAD

BY SPENCER DANDES SPORTS EDITOR

The spring season is heating up for several Miami sports. There are numerous opportunities to catch the Hurricanes in action this weekend and next. See below to check out who’s in town for games and which teams are preparing for the season ahead.

TWO FOR ONE

NICK GANGEMI // ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR ACTION PACKED: Gabriel Flores and the Miami men’s tennis team will host two matches this weekend at the Neil Schiff Tennis Center. First up is Bethune-Cookman at 2 p.m. on Friday, followed by FAMU at noon on Sunday.

BASKETBALL It’s going to be a busy few days at the BankUnited Center, where both the men’s and women’s basketball teams will host formidable opponents.

First up: Third-ranked Duke is in town Thursday night to face the Miami women. Always an intriguing matchup, Hurricanes coach Katie Meier – who played for the Blue Devils – will look to slow her alma mater down.

Duke (20-1) is unbeaten in ACC play this season, while Miami (11-9) is just 3-4 in conference. Tipoff is at 7 p.m.

On Saturday at 4 p.m., the Miami men’s team (10-9, 2-5 ACC) welcomes Norfolk State for an important nonconference matchup. The Canes have dropped two in a row to ranked ACC teams, so they have a chance to get back on track before Pittsburgh visits the BUC on Wednesday night.

BASEBALL The Hurricanes are ranked No. 16 in the annual Baseball America preseason poll, which was released Monday.

Miami is coming off a year in which it earned a postseason berth for a record 41st straight season.

This season will feature a complete returning rotation of starting pitchers, which includes junior Bryan Radziewski and senior Chris Diaz.

Radziewski, a first-team All-ACC honoree, was named a preseason All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Seven starters will return to the Miami lineup on offense.

The Canes are one of six ACC teams ranked in the top 25 to start off the year. No. 1 Virgina, No. 5 N.C. State, No. 6. Florida State, No. 13 Clemson and No. 17 North Carolina all appear in the preseason poll as well.

Miami’s season will kick off Feb. 8 with its annual FanFest and Alumni Game. The activities will be held at Mark Light Field at Alex Rodriguez Park starting at 4 p.m.

TENNIS

Miami is riding high after wins over LSU and Ohio State cemented the Canes’ place in the ITA National Indoor Championships.

But before taking off for Virginia next week, the women’s tennis team has a date with Florida Gulf Coast at home.

The Hurricanes will take on the Eagles on Thursday at 5 p.m., looking to build on their 2-0 spring record. Currently ranked No. 9 in the country, Miami has been sharp in both singles and doubles.

“They raised their level. They were paying attention to details much better. They were playing cleaner,” coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said, assessing her team’s performance in the ITA Kickoff last weekend.

FGCU is 2-1 entering Thursday’s match.

consecutive weeks that a Cane has earned ACC Performer of the Week honors in track and field.

Alysha Newman, who posted the nation’s best pole vault jump, follows Shakima Wimbley as Miami’s second straight winner.

GOLF

Miami places third at Florida Challenge Ras-Anderica shoots low round for Canes, lands in top 10

BY ANDY LEON SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

The Miami Hurricanes women’s golf team found itself in the middle of the pack on Monday, after finishing in third place at the six-team Florida Challenge.

Coach Patti Rizzo expects more from her squad moving forward as they continue into their spring season.

“It was our first event of the spring – not bad, but not great,” she said.

The No. 33 Hurricanes shot a combined 15-over par 591 through two rounds, finishing only nine strokes back of the winner. Central Florida (6-over par 582) took the title.

Although Florida State finished second at 8-over par 584, the Seminoles were able to snag individual tournament winners by just one stroke.

Florida State’s Alex Milan won the Florida Challenge with a solid 2-under par 142 through both rounds.

Miami junior Leticia Ras-Anderica led the way for the Canes, shooting 3-over par 147. She tied for seventh overall with freshman Daniela Darquea.

“I was able to gain some distance and power in my tee shots, thanks to my new driver,” Ras-Anderica said. “We had some fog in the morning, so it was hard to judge the distances, but we were able to make do off the tee.”

The veteran from Spain is averaging a career best 73.82 strokes through four tournaments played this season.

There are four more tournaments on the schedule before ACC Tournament rounds begin, and RasAnderica has already finished in the top 10 twice this season.

That leaves her one shy of last year’s mark, when she landed three top-10 standings.

“We could have performed a little better on the greens and in our approach game, but this season is going to be a process to climbing to the top,” Ras-Anderica said.

The team will look to continue to climb the ladder at their first three-round tournament of the spring: The UCF Challenge will be held Feb. 9 to 11 in Sorrento, Fla. Miami will then host the annual Hurricane Invitational beginning March 3.

V, DEAR V We’re up all night to get nothing ...

I have recently found myself single, and I hate the dating game. Nonetheless, I understand that if I want to be happy and in love, I need to persevere through awkward first dates, and my recent first date was no exception. After a two-hour dinner filled with great conversation, we went back to my place to share a bottle of wine. One bottle turned into two and after some innocent kissing, he fell asleep on my living room f loor. This was not a little nap; he was sound asleep, snoring and all. I was finally able to nudge him awake, and he ended up sleeping on my couch. The next morning, I made pancakes for us and he then went home.

I really liked him and wanted to take it slow, but I don’t know how to read into him sleeping on my couch after the first date. I think it was slightly inappropriate

to spend the night, but I was happy he respected my boundaries and didn’t push to sleep in my bed. What should I think?

Hopeless Dater Dear Charlotte York, The key in these types of situation is to say “no” to social awkwardness.

It doesn’t matter how many dates you go on or how many creeps you meet on Match.com, the idea is to put yourself out there. And you’ve done that, so that’s good.

But I’m gonna stop you at sharing a bottle of wine – are we sure your dream guy isn’t a super raging homosexual? Let’s break this down: He went back to your place to drink some wine, “innocently kissed you” and then just slept on your couch?

That’s it? Why aren’t we just honest with ourselves and call this what it

is – you were his beard for the night.

And that’s OK, it happens.

It’s sad to say, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy be respectful just for the hell of it. Usually, they just have sex with you whether they intend to keep seeing you or not.

I know you really like him, but it’s best to just cut your losses. The poor guy is probably just dealing with some existential issues and wants to work some stuff out within himself.

That’s probably why he spent the night – because he’s not really worried about impressing you anyway.

I would say to hang out with some douchey frat guys who are bonafide men’s men, but we all know that’s not necessarily the case. They could be hiding some huge sexual insecurities under those over-developed gorilla arms.
