CAMPUS LIFE

Composition competition celebrates 20th anniversary Three freshmen honored for work

BY MARLEE LISKER EDGE EDITOR

Three student essays were honored at the 20th annual Audley Webster Memorial Essay Contest on Tuesday.

The contest awards first and second places as well as an honorable mention to three students who are selected for writing notable essays in English Composition classes.

The event is in honor of Audley Webster, a beloved former faculty member of UM’s English Department. Webster’s daughter Mary Webster-Taylor spoke at the event, describing her father as “tireless” and “devoted.”

“Few people can be called a scholar and a gentleman,” said Webster-Taylor near the end of her speech. “He was one of those few.”

Krystine Smith was awarded first place, Christian Mock received second

place, and Corey Janson was given an honorable mention. Their work was picked out of nearly 100 essays total by a panel of 24 faculty members and graduate students.

The English professors of the three students attended the event. Senior Lecturer Martha Otis taught Smith and Mock, while Janson studied under Charlotte Rogers.

The two professors introduced their prospective students, and then each winner got a chance to read a part of their essay to the hushed crowd.

President Donna E. Shalala was also in attendance, commemorating the writers and presenting them each with their awards.

“I am a strong supporter of commitment to humanities,” Shalala said, addressing the crowd.

Janson, a senior Foote Fellow studying psychology and political science, wrote his on Robert Lowe’s “For the Union Dead,” while Mock, a finance student, wrote his essay on dreaming.

Smith, a former member of the Marine Corps who studies music therapy, chose to write her essay on the effects music therapy has on veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

In her essay, Smith included anecdotes about people in her own life who served and current suffer from PTSD. Smith is herself a musician; she was a f lutist in the Marine Corps band. After finishing her term, Smith came to UM knowing that she wanted to study music therapy.

As she explained in her essay, however, she was unsure what exactly would be her essay topic until she had a conversation with a friend who suffered from PTSD. “I really want to help in any way I can,” Smith said.

She went on to describe how people often “look down” on those with PTSD and explained that it is hard for those who have not served to understand the long-term effects it can have.

Joanna Johnson, the director of English Composition, commended Smith for including real-life perspectives in her essay.

“The way in which she wove personal experience with research was very nicely done,” said Johnson, who described the work of all three writers as “phenomenal.”

AUDLEY WEBSTER CONTEST WINNERS The 20th annual Audley Webster Memorial Essay Contest recognizes students’ essays written in English Composition (ENG 105 and 106) courses.

UM President Donna E. Shalala attended and talked about the importance of the humanities.

PROFILE

Junior combats clause that limits access to care University works to help situation

BY JESS SWANSON STAFF WRITER

Junior Audrey Winkelsas was not going to let spinal muscular atrophy, a form of muscular dystrophy, stop her from attending the University of Miami.

Before college, she depended on friends and family to help care for her.

Originally from Apopka, Fla., a suburb outside of Orlando, she requested 24-hour, attendant care through Medicaid for her time at UM. Her parents and friends could not travel 250 miles to help her in Miami.

All was fine until Winkelsas celebrated her 21st birthday in October. According to Florida’s Medicaid provider handbook, necessary services like around-the-clock care are suspended after a person turns 21.

“Whether you’re 20 years and so many days old or 21, your age in most cases doesn’t affect your condition,” Winkelsas said. “I would be so grateful if suddenly I didn’t have [spinal muscular atrophy], but it doesn’t work that way.”

Winkelsas discovered the news when she returned to campus after studying abroad in London last fall. Since she was out of the country, she could not receive healthcare attendant services. Instead, her mom, Keely Winkelsas, traveled with her, understanding it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Since classes for spring semester began, Winkelsas’s mother has had to stay in Miami to ensure that her daughter can go to class and finish her studies.

During her senior year of high school, Winkelsas requested a healthcare attendant through Medicaid. She was initially granted only two, three-hour visits per day.

However, through a round of appeals at Medicaid she was provided 24-hour care. And for the last two and a half years, four different attendants, who worked 12hour shifts at a time on different days of the week, looked after Winkelsas as she completed her studies.

Two years later, Winkelsas is again appealing, but the process has been more difficult than the last time.

“I am at a loss,” she said. “We just need to get in touch with the right person who has the authority to say or the knowledge to say the program I need to be on is such and such. In the meantime we’re following every lead.”

After going through countless rounds of appeals, Winkelsas was granted only three, one-hour visits, none of which could be consecutive.

While her mom stays with her, Winkelsas’s father Layne Winkelsas runs the family printing business back in Apopka on his own. The business has been understaffed because of the recession.

Winkelsas was aware of the turning-21 clause in Florida’s Medicaid provider handbook. But she has other friends who were a few years older and had successfully appealed.

Winkelsas was confidant that anyone who met with her would understand her need for 24-hour care. But halfway through the semester, she has had no luck in reversing Medicaid’s ruling.

NEWS BRIEFS

Winkelsas says her mother makes phones calls every day, trying to find her daughter 24-hour care. They have taken tips from friends, and have even called their local representative in Apopka, Bryan Nelson. Nelson forwarded the message to Senator Marco Rubio and Gov. Rick Scott’s offices.

Everything has been unsuccessful so far. However, the university released a statement saying that it is assisting Winkelsas “on her behalf to appeal for Medicaid.”

UM President Donna E. Shalala is personally involved as well, according to a university spokesperson.

Though she thinks of herself as shy, Winkelsas decided to start a petition on Change.org last week to bring attention to her problem. In just 24 hours, the petition was filled with more than 5,000 signatures.

At the moment, the petition has 6,833 signatures, and only 667 more are needed.

“We thought if more voices were supporting us it might get someone’s attention,” she said.

Winkelsas is studying biochemistry and intends to find a cure for spinal muscular atrophy, the condition she was diagnosed with when she was seven months old.

CAMPUS LIFE

Spring break is the midpoint of the spring semester. Students can take a break from class and see a different kind of environment from the ibis-covered walkways. Some choose typical trips to beaches, the Caribbean and Europe. Others take a different direction, choosing to give back through service experiences.

Film majors shoot for spring

UMAB springs into service

Students document social issues abroad

Groups make national difference

BY ALEXANDER GONZALEZ NEWS EDITOR

During her week-long excursion to Guatemala, Zulena Segarra-Berrios returned with more than just photographs of her trip.

The second-year Master of Fine Arts student came back with footage for a documentary to complete an enrichment project offered to first-year students in the School of Communication’s graduate film program. The trip allows students to practice nonfiction filmmaking and gain a global perspective.

The trip takes place annually during the university’s spring break. Ed Talavera, the film program’s director, leads the trip and organizes the group’s itinerary.

This year’s students will be departing Saturday and will be living in a hotel in San Pedro, a town near the primary destination Lake Atitlan.

Students are only required to cover personal expenses; the program covers accomodations and transportation.

Talavera began taking first-year film students three years ago. Before Guatemala, most students have not visited a third-world country, he said.

“Everyone comes back with an eyeopening experience,” Talavera said. “It’s not a touristy thing.

The students in the class are required to film a documentary about a social issue. Unlike previous years, the Center for Disease Control is partnering with the University of Miami in Guatemala.

Two projects will then focus on HIV prevention and the dangerous practice of using cook stoves that use wood or charcoal inside homes. The smoke from the cook stoves is a carcinogen.

The other two groups will capture the experience of a free health clinic called a “hospitalito,” (Spanish for small hospital), and the experience of coffee farmers in the area.

First-year film student Ronnie Khalil is working on the “hospitalito” project. He is looking forward to seeing Guatemala for the first time.

“Seeing a new world through the lens of a camera should be very eye-opening,” he said.

Khalil has traveled extensively in the past, referring to himself as one of the more “seasoned” film students. He will work as the film’s producer and director.

Segarra-Berrios’s project was less centered on health.

Her documentary explored the maltreatment of horses that are a typical tourist attraction in Guatemala. The film profiled an American woman’s nonprofit organization that raises awareness about horses in the area.

While most students use the week of spring break to sit back, relax and tan by the beach, the members of University of Miami Alternate Breaks (UMAB) take the time to focus on social justice issues.

The idea of an “alternative break” is not something that is unique to UM’s campus. UMAB is a chapter for Break Away, a national nonprofit that helps with the development of alternative break schools around the country.

“What sets alternative breaks under Break Away apart from typical programs is the focus on education and orientation prior to the trip and the use of the trip as a catalyst for future action,” said Miranda Goot, a UMAB logistic chair.

The UMAB trips aren’t only offered during spring break.

In the fall semester, UMAB sends four groups of students throughout Florida to participate in service projects, and in the winter, there is a week-long international trip to Puerto Rico.

The spring break trips send students around the country to focus on different social issues in the United States. Students can choose from different destinations;

Students who participate in UM’s Alternative Breaks have traveled throughout the nation. Below are the some of the locations where students volunteer in projects relating to environmentalism, healthcare and education.

each place focuses on a specific social justice issue.

Goot says she became involved with UMAB her freshman year because she wanted to get involved with service.

“I came in to college wanting to join a lot of different organizations covering a broad spectrum so I thought I would try UMAB,” she said. “Ironically, I chose UMAB because I did not think it would be a big time commitment, and now it is my life because it has changed the way I view the world.”

This year, there are 12 groups of students, totaling 100 travelers. The groups will tackle topics such as environmental sustainability, LGBTQ issues, children’s issues and racism.

When Meera Nagarsheth was a freshman at UM, she chose to go on a service trip with UMAB instead of going back home or on vacation for her spring break. Her group went to Los Angeles, Calif., where she worked with issues related to HIV and AIDS. The trip was a catalyst for her to get involved in her own community and on campus. She now serves as the co-chair for UMAB. “My trip freshman year really opened my eyes to models of servant leadership,” Nagarsheth said.

STAFF EDITORIAL

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Stephanie Parra

Campus can help with petition Three-quarters of the way into her junior year, 21-year-old Audrey Winkelsas has found her educational opportunities interrupted.

Winkelsas has spinal muscular atrophy, and since moving to south Florida to attend the University of Miami, she has had 24-hour Medicaid-funded care to provide her with assistance as she pursues her education in spite of her disability.

Now that she is 21, Medicaid has re-evaluated Winkelsas’s need for care – allowing her only three one-hour visits per day, none of which can be consecutive. This is nowhere near sufficient for a person with Winkelsas’s physical disability attending college away from home. She needs more help. And we need to make sure she gets it.

Winkelsas and her family cannot afford to pay for the remaining 21 hours of care per day.

Her mother, who is currently in Miami to care for her daughter, cannot remain here because she must help her husband with their small business in order to earn a livelihood.

Admirably, Winkelsas wants to use her biochemistry degree to conduct medical research and find the cure for her condition. Beyond that, she is now advocating for policy change with a petition on Change.org to remedy her situation.

A campaign called 21 Disabled seeks to have Medicaid maintain medical services for disabled young adults when they turn 21. In the long-term, our legislators should revisit the law that revokes essential care at age 21. Such decisions should be made more efficiently on a case-by-case basis, and perhaps the reconsideration should come at a later age that isn’t such a pivotal time in a typical college student’s life.

These types of legislative changes take time, and Winkelsas has no time to lose. So in the meantime, we urge the UM community to show its support by signing the Change.org petition. We urge the university administration to use its prestige for the benefit of this student and others in her position in the future. And we urge Florida

MANAGING EDITOR Margaux Herrera

Medicaid to return Winkelsas’s access to 24-hour care.

President Donna E. Shalala is a leading healthcare expert with enough pull to bring the Dalai Lama and Hillary Clinton to campus. On this matter so connected to her own sphere of influence, we’d hope that Shalala is able to help make a difference.

UM should send a letter from the Office of the President to the Florida Department of Children and Families or Gov. Rick Scott so that the state intervenes.

And given that the university isn’t allowed to comment on personal health matters, for all we know, UM might already have done this. Still, we’d like to stress the urgency of the matter.

In granting Winkelsas sustained healthcare services, the state of Florida would not only be helping to change the life of one student, but also showing its support for that one student who wants to change the lives of many.

he’s a b*tch. He’s assertive.

She’s crazy. He’s expressive.

It’s a war of words, and women are losing.

If I had a dollar for each time I’ve heard a guy dismiss his ex as crazy, I’d have enough money to pay for my own loony bin treatment. The thing I find crazy is how MELANIE common it is for guys to use labels MARTINEZ on women whose behavior they CONTRIBUTING find inconvenient or uncomfortCOLUMNIST able.

The same goes for whenever an assertive girl is called a b*tch. Assertive guys are hailed as tough go-getters, while strong women who go after what they want are called b*tches. This labeling attitude diminishes women and their emotions and helps maintain an unequal society.

Brushing off women’s expressive behavior by calling

them “crazy” inhibits the chance for honest, open relationships – something that hinders both women and men. Likewise, tossing around “b*tch” causes women to question their emotions, their actions and themselves.

Labeling must be curtailed, and we can start by expanding our vocabulary. Men should address things they find annoying or overly emotional, call them for what they are and try to find the meaning behind them. For those who don’t label, call out people who do. If people are made aware of how damaging labels are, they’re more likely to stop using them. One or two syllables can carry more weight than you think.

Maybe when we figure out the reason someone is acting the way they are, we won’t find it so “crazy.” We might even discover mistakes made on our own part caused the behavior we deem so irrational.

Welcomed immigrants boost economy March brackets t is often said that the United States of America is a nation of immigrants, and no place in the union embodies this sentiment PAUL RYAN BUSINESS/ more than the ECONOMICS city of Miami.

COLUMNIST More than 50 percent of Miami-Dade County residents are foreign born, an astounding statistic when compared to the national average of 13. Such a large presence of international residents provides Miami with a significant advantage when it comes to accommodating global citizens.

With immigration reform hanging in the balance at the federal level, Miami’s government leaders need to encourage the adoption of an immigration policy that is beneficial for the city and sustainable for the nation.

One intriguing proposal: On Jan. 23, Gov. Rick Snyder of Michi-

I

gan announced a plan to help revitalize Detroit by asking for an allotment of 50,000 EB-2 visas over the next five years for immigrants who would live and work in Detroit. EB-2 visas are given to individuals with advanced degrees and skills in efforts to attract the very best talent to the United States.

With its location and reputation as a mecca for international commerce, Miami should attempt to enact a similar request to entice top professionals to come to South Florida. This would provide a boost to the f ledgling tech scene in Miami, as well as add valuable workers to the already strong health care and financial service industries.

The need for immigration reform has never been more urgent.

According to a recent feature in The Economist, 369,000 undocumented migrants were removed from America in 2013, a nine-fold increase from 1993. Additionally, federal spending on immigration enforcement in 2012 outweighed the amount of spending allocated to all other federal criminal law enforcement agencies combined.

This disparity ref lects the numerous economic inefficiencies contained in American immigration policies.

Gridlock in Washington, however, is preventing progress on this issue. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida has taken the lead on promoting a revised immigration system “based more on economics, job skill and merit than on family connection.”

Such a policy is just what Miami needs to further strengthen its economic presence in the U.S. When a system is broken, it is essential that steps be taken to fix it.

Given the current status of immigration policy, many of these changes must come from Washington. But this does not mean Miami should not take initiative to inf luence a reformative outcome.

Providing entrance to immigrants who have specialized skills can positively impact the local economy. And as a city of immigrants, Miami not only has a right to weigh in, but an obligation.

Science courses need content revision

M

a n y think t h a t online resources such as Massive Online Open Courses, commonly referred to as MOOCs, LOUIS CAI will erase the SCIENCE need for an exCOLUMNIST pensive college degree. And this will soon be the case if the University of Miami does not act to save its rapidly deteriorating value.

As science undauntedly marches forward, the university’s science education lags behind. The university is doing an excellent job preparing students – for careers in the twentieth century.

A change is needed from the current practice of measuring content competency. Professors give the same lectures every year and hand out multiple choice tests to assess how well students understand the material. These tests prepare students for the past, a world without the Internet, and they reward those

able to reach predetermined conclusions.

This stif les critical thinking by creating artificial knowledge limits to be reached, not exceeded. Such courses waste a professor’s expertise and can easily be replaced with recorded lectures and automated assessments.

The strength of our university, which online education cannot replicate, lies within its human capital: both faculty and students. We must shift to a paradigm of application, in which research professors are experts.

The backbone of science is not content, which machines do best, but the scientific method, which humans do best. Science courses should focus on critically applying content to address current questions while simultaneously capitalizing on collaboration between students, between courses and between departments.

Some teachers are doing it right. Richard Myers introduces his course, molecular biology of the gene, as the “hardest class on campus or your money back.” It is not intended to be difficult for the sake

of being difficult, but to prepare biochemistry students for careers in science, which are inherently difficult.

Instead of requiring a textbook, Myers teaches only from primary scientific literature. And instead of giving multiple choice tests, he asks the class to analyze data and design experiments. He also invites scientists to explain research problems they are currently facing, and the students discuss solutions. All these strategies force students to understand biochemistry and meaningfully apply it.

Science students must take charge of their education and prepare themselves for science and medicine on the global stage. Our brains pale in comparison to computational speed and memory, which makes some wonder if robots will eventually replace doctors. I don’t believe so, for our human aspect can’t be programmed. We should recognize and develop our unique human powers and strive not to mimic technology, but to use technology, else we be defeated by it.

are pure madness t’s almost that time of year again.

All that matters is luck and the crafty art of randomness.

For those not aware, the best postseason in sports, the NCAA Basketball Tournament, is approaching, and there are important playoff brackets to be selected.

DANNY NEW SPORTS Across the nation, people of COLUMNIST all demographics will overthink hundreds of matchups that are far less important than the report they have due the next day.

However, there’s always a chance you could win. And that’s what sports are all about.

On that note, here are a few simple steps for picking the right bracket: 1. Write all 64 March Madness schools on individual note cards, and then arrange them in their actual bracket spots.

2. Randomly remove two of the one seeds, and gently place them into a stinky diaper. They will deserve this after they ruin your bracket for you in the Elite 8. Don’t let them do that.

3. Take all of the two seeds, casually dip them in peanut butter, and then feed them to your neighborhood rabid dog. Half of these two seeds will indubitably lose to 15 seeds in the first round (i.e. Florida Gulf Coast), and the other half will decide to lose in the Sweet 16 just because they can.

4. Retrieve Wisconsin, Ohio State and North Carolina. Almost every year, people pick these teams and get sad when their brackets turn inside out. Lock those cards in a room that has the chorus from “Baby” by Justin Bieber playing on loop. Now more than ever, these schools do not have the talent to continually advance (unless UNC magically plays Michigan State, Kentucky and Louisville in succession). Trust me, they deserve this terrible torture.

5. Pick up the Magic 8 Ball. Ask it: “Are Dylan and Doug McDermott related?” If it says no, throw the Creighton card away. If it says yes, throw the Magic 8 Ball away and repeat previous steps until satisfactory answer is received.

6. Locate every team that has previously been in the Big East (probably Louisville, Syracuse, Cincinnati and Villanova), and give them a lollipop. They are your friends in this tournament. (Note: Give Syracuse the most broken of the lollipops. Miami should have beaten them both times).

7. Ask a random woman in your office or Grandma which team to pick from this narrowed group. I don’t know why, but these two specific categories of women are always right. Probably because Grandmas are awesome.

Hi Grandma, love you.

Obviously these are extreme steps, but my point is that March Madness outcomes are almost impossible to guess correctly. Therefore, try to have fun picking your bracket – because if a decision is too tough to make, you are probably thinking too hard.

My prediction: Miami will go undefeated in this tournament. Go Canes.

Despite everything Miami has to offer, it can sometimes feel like there’s nothing going on – especially over spring break, when so many people head off for exciting vacations.

Whether you are staying on campus or hanging out around the Miami area during spring break, there are plenty of options, both affordable and fun, to keep you busy. The Miami Hurricane came up with some suggestions, both on and off campus, for everyone who is spending spring break in the Magic City.

ON CAMPUS JOHN C. GIFFORD ARBORETUM: If you enjoy nature and being outdoors, this is a place worth visiting on campus. The Arboretum features a variety of plants, birds and butterflies. Many of the tropical trees and plants are for educational and research purposes, and the collection is used to inform visitors, complete with interpretive signs and identification tags for the plants.

Veteran visits movie viewing

BY NADIJAH CAMPBELL CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

It’s not every day that the star of a documentary attends the film’s screening. But on Monday, March 3, three years after losing his limbs in an IED explosion, veteran Travis Mills attended a screening of the documentary based on his life at Cosford Cinema. Despite the tragedy, Mills, 28, was in good spirits.

“Every day I get up and put my legs on and then I put my pants on,” he joked.

A former United States Army Staff Sergeant, Mills is one of only five surviving quadruple amputees that has served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. He chose to tell his story to a crowd of veterans, members of ROTC, family members and eager listeners at the University of Miami through the documentary, “Travis: a Soldier’s Story.”

“I’m just one story of so many out there,” M i l ls said.

Fotolanthropy, a foundation that uses photographs to tell true stories of those who have overcome adversities, chose his story to be their first feature documentary for a reason.

Some believe it is because he is a hero. However, Mills begs to differ. He feels that despite his injuries, he is no different from everyone else who has served the United States.

Before the documentary was shown, Jim Casen, Mayor of Coral Gables, presented Mills with the key to the city.

“Travis paid a very serious price,” said Mayor Casen, “and we owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude for his service to The United States.”

Audience member Hilda Jacobson, 50, felt that most people without any connection to those serving in the armed forces do not recognize their importance.

“Ni neteen-hund red t housand people go to Miley Cyrus’s concert and 17,000 people go to someone else’s concert, but he [Jacobson’s friend, Andrew] said ‘we’re trying to sell 200-something tickets to people for a man who risked his whole life for us.’”

It was for this reason that Jacobson, and many others – enough to fill the entire auditorium and an overflow room – made the decision to support Travis’s family through the viewing of the documentary.

The audience sniffled their way through the inspiring stories of 8

Mills’s Myspace love affair with his wife, Kelsey, and the amazing recovery from his tragic accident during his time of service.

“Of course it’s tragic what happened, but it’s so amazing how he came out from it,” said Absalom Lwayne, an audience member who is in army ROTC. Directed by Katie and Reece Norris, the documentary reenacted everything from the time Mills enlisted to Mills’ recovery process, using home videos, photos and acting.

As much as it was a story of a soldier’s recovery, it was also a love story and a symbol of human strength. His former troops told heartfelt stories of his time in commandment and his wife brought the entire audience to tears when she recounted the strength and beauty of the relationship between them and their baby daughter Chloe.

For Mills, it was simple.

“The way I saw it, I only had two options: either lay there and get spoon fed or get on with life,” he said.

He chose to get on with life.

A fter all of the things he has been through, he has learned that “it gets better.”

Proceeds made from the documentary screenings and other social events go to support Fotolanthropy and the Travis Mills Foundation, which was created to assist wounded and injured veterans and their families.

Powered by perfection, Canes sweep Villanova Salas makes history in Tuesday start, Miami offense explodes

BY NEIL DWYER SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

The paid attendance for Tuesday night’s game was 2,435.

In the top of the ninth inning, however, the energy and roar of the crowd made Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field seem like Yankee Stadium during the World Series.

Fans were on their feet with their phones held out, looking to record a piece of history.

The man on the mound, senior Javi Salas, was just one out away from securing his place in the Miami legacy.

Salas retired 26 Villanova Wildcats in a row. The scoreboard showed no runs, no hits and no errors.

Derrick May Jr. stepped in as the pinch-hitter. The first pitch was high and outside, followed by a foul ball and a breaking strike on the outside corner.

The entire crowd went crazy, urging Salas on as he delivered the 1-2 pitch. It was a check-swing strikeout as May Jr.’s bat just crossed the edge of the plate on a curveball low and outside.

Umpire Joel Pereira ruled it strike three, and Salas pumped his fist in the air as catcher Carlos Diaz and the rest of the Hurricanes tore onto the field and mobbed the man of the hour.

Salas didn’t need to worry about run support: Villanova’s pitching simply couldn’t handle the Miami lineup. The Canes scored 17 runs on 12 hits and were aided in part by three Wildcat errors.

The home run trend continued for Miami as well.

Brad Fieger nailed one in the sixth inning off reliever Kagan Richardson over the left field fence. Zack Collins, making his first start at catcher on Tuesday, hit a double with the bases loaded in the seventh to score three runs.

David Thompson added three RBIs with a single in the first and a two-run double in the fourth.

Coach Jim Morris began cycling out the starters with the bench players during the five-run sixth inning. Cynics might wonder why Morris would risk the perfecto with the substitutes in, but they made huge contributions in the field.

Jacob Heyward, who came into left field for Tyler Palmer, made two huge inning-ending catches to preserve the magic. Heyward leapt for what could have been a double off the bat of Connor Jones in the seventh, and made a diving catch in left off Donovan May’s bat in the eighth.

With Salas’ perfect game hanging in the balance, the Miami defense echoed the words of Gus Sinski to

Billy Chapel in “For Love of the Game.”

“We’re gonna be awesome for you right now!”

Even after a night he’ll never forget, Salas showed why he’s a team leader and senior captain.

“My defense played great behind me, I owe all the credit to them,” he said. “And Zack Collins and [pitching coach] J.D. [Arteaga] called a great game. I was in sync with them the whole time.”

Salas, fortunate to get through nine perfect innings, hopes the win will build momentum for Miami.

“You know it’s just one of those things where I had it tonight, and I felt good and a little bit of luck and we’ll see what happens,” he said. “And I’m just so happy that we were able to get back in the win column, that was the most important thing.”

It was the second perfect game in Miami history.

Kevin Sheary threw the other on March 14, 1987.

Sheary was one of the heroes of the 1985 National Championship team, and he got the start during the

final College World Series game against Texas.

Wednesday night’s series finale was a bit of an afterthought, but nonetheless a character-building win for the Hurricanes.

Palmer hit a two-run triple in the sixth just past the diving Connor Jones in center to give the Canes a 3-2 lead which they wouldn’t relinquish.

Miami pulled away to win 7-2, sweeping the Wildcats and improving to 7-5 this season.

Dale Carey hit his third home run of the year in the eighth inning.

The Canes have not recorded an error in three of their last four games. They begin ACC play this weekend against the Boston College Eagles at home.

First pitch on Friday is at 7 p.m. Saturday’s game will also get underway at 7 p.m., and first pitch on Sunday is set for 1 p.m.

COMMENTARY

Salas reaches perfection with brother on the call Javi Salas returned to UM for his senior year because he wanted to reach new heights with the rest of Miami’s veteran pitching staff. He came back to make Super Regionals, to make Omaha, to make history with his teammates.

Little did he know that on that AJ RICKETTS journey, he would first make the SENIOR SPORTS No. 1 spot on SportsCenter’s top 10 WRITER plays and make history with his little brother.

Between LeBron James’ 61 points on Monday and Javi’s performance Tuesday, the first two days of this week reminded fans that the most remarkable of accomplishments are privy to take place in the most unlikely of scenarios.

Like, say, a Tuesday night game in March against Villanova. The 2,435 fans at The Light found that out, as they witnessed Salas throw the just the 23rd perfect game in NCAA history.

“I don’t even know what to think,” Salas said. It’s ok, Javi. We don’t either.

Try to comprehend this: There are approximately 2,000 Division I baseball games each season. There have been only 23 perfect games since 1957, when the modern era of college baseball began. That’s more than 100,000 games in the past 57 years.

So if you attend a college baseball game, you have less than a .0002 chance of seeing perfection, or 1/20,000 odds.

You’re more likely to see the Cubs win a World Series, catch a foul ball or get a Republican vouch to for Obamacare.

Salas has improved as much as any Hurricane the past four years, though he came in as a highly-praised recruit. He’s bounced between the bullpen, a weekend starting role, and now his midweek spot in the rotation.

Nothing would have led one to anticipate the magical moment that unfolded Tuesday night.

When second baseman Alex Hernandez snagged a rocket of a grounder up the middle in the fifth for an out, there was a sense that something unusual was brewing.

Javi first noticed it in the sixth.

“I’m kind of a lively guy when I pitch, I like to talk to people … then I realized nobody was sitting around me, I was kind of alone,” he said. “I looked up at the scoreboard, saw zeroes across the board and was like, oh man.”

It nearly came to an end in the eighth, but freshman Sebastian Diaz caught up to a shallow floater that threatened to fall in left field. Diaz – who had just entered the ballgame the previous inning – preserved the perfecto when he made a diving grab parallel to the ground.

In what perfect game does a freshman sub in in the seventh, and quickly make a play of that proportion?

Then again, in what perfect game is the pitcher’s

brother broadcasting the game? Jorge Salas, a UM freshman, was on just his second call for WVUM, and nothing may ever rival Tuesday’s experience.

Javi was not the only Salas brother to step up his performance – Jorge’s call was exceptional for a broadcasting newcomer. More than 30,000 people had listened to his call of the final out within 24 hours of the game.

“I don’t even remember what I said,” Jorge said, smiling, laughing, not sure what to think. “I was just yelling.

It was a great experience.”

Perfect games always make great stories. But what happened Tuesday night resembled a tall tale, a fictional novel, a fallacy. USA Today, Deadspin, and The Huffington Post have all picked up on this story, and it might take off even more.

This was not simply a perfect game. It was two brothers that grew up right down the road, making a memory that surely will never fade from their minds, or anyone who had the fortune to be at Mark Light Field, to see a performance take place that defied the odds.

“It was one of the coolest moments of my life. The fact we got to share that moment was surreal,” Javi said.

The UM community likes to use the term “#CanesFam” when talking about the culture here. The story of the Salas brothers is truly the epitome of that sentiment.

Who knows when it’ll happen again? But, as sport so often reminds us, it’s best not to trust the odds.

Dear Zoe Barnes,

V, I’m a student worker and I can’t stop thinking about my co-worker. It started out as a mere crush but has viciously grown into a full-on passionate desire for him to call me into his office, rip off my clothes and have me on top of his desk as I grab onto his perfectly tight, bubble butt and scream out his name in pure satisfaction. This wouldn’t seem so bad, but he’s more than 10 years older than me, and – wait for it – married. I realize that this makes me the worst person on earth, and I would never do anything with him unless he approached me first, but he 110 percent flirts with me on the regular.

It’s getting to the point where I’m staring to think this may actually happen …

DEAR V My boss has a bone to pick ...

Home Wrecker

There’s no harm in a little bit of fantasizing now and again. In my opinion, it’s not really a big deal to be attracted to someone that’s attached, as long as you don’t act on it.

That being said, if this guy is coming on to you, and you want it, then get it. I’m not one to suggest breaking up a marriage, but it seems like this guy isn’t too worried about his home life.

You also have to think about what you want from this “relationship.” Is this something that would just be a one-time thing, or do you want to carry this out for a longer amount of time? Because, as my mother always told me, “once a cheater, always a cheater.”

Let’s be real – this isn’t going to go anywhere. Even if the two of you give in to each other and get your freak on, the chances that it’ll go past a drunken office party hookup are slim to none.

I would say try your best to control yourself; you don’t want to be the girl that breaks up a marriage. But then again, some-

times you just have to listen to the little devil on your shoulder.

You go on and grab that bubble butt and make sure you’re careful – you don’t want to end up in a sketchy part of a D.C. subway station with Frank Underwood ... things could get messy.
