STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI IN CORAL GABLES, FL A., SINCE 1929

NEIGHBORHOOD CHOW: Carlos Schicchi, owner of Beehive Juice Bar, laughs as he prepares lunch for customers Friday.

Drugstore shuts down local strip-mall National franchise kicks out vegetarian market, local eatery

BY LYSSA GOLDBERG OPINION EDITOR

On an inconspicuous corner of a strip-mall about a mile from the University of Miami’s Coral Gables campus, Beehive Natural Foods sells supplements and snacks. At lunchtime, the Beehive Juice Bar in the back bustles with hungry regulars at its counter.

“Carlitos, I’m starving,” murmurs a woman whose young daughter is attached to her hip.

“Right away,” the chef answers devotedly.

The customers are craving vegetarian and vegan fare like bean sprout burgers. Still, more than that, they crave Beehive’s sense of community.

Beehive has been an institution for decades. The storefront’s current owner, Bob Penna, has been with Beehive for 33 years.

Carlos Schicchi has been running the juice bar for 23 years.

“People go to the Beehive largely because of my dad’s personality,” said Gabriel Schicchi, son of the Brazilian chef. “He’s there waiting for you, serves the food that he made himself, talks to you, makes a ton of bad jokes, but makes you want to come back.”

Both Penna and Schicchi are the reason that loyal patrons from the South Miami area, including many from UM, return to the health food establishment again and again.

But a man-made disturbance may disrupt this natural order at Beehive.

CVS Pharmacy has bought out the strip-mall on the 5700 block of Bird Road. Beehive Natural Foods and Juice Bar will be kicked out this coming January.

Several other small businesses, including students’ favorite 1909 Cafe, will be displaced as well.

Nearby Allen’s Drug Store, which is not directly connected to the strip-mall, will remain in its place. Walgreens already exists across the street, and CVS will make the third pharmacy in the immediate vicinity. Gabriel Schicchi considers this ironic.

“Part of the whole idea of a health food store and a juice bar is to not take pharmaceuticals and to try to find a healthy natural alternative,” he said. “It just figures that they would have to close because CVS bought the property.”

The 24-year-old also finds it unimaginable that his father’s long-loved natural haven in its current form is going to close.

“I’ve been there my whole life, and some of those customers have been coming in every day since I was 3 years old,” he said.

Senior Emily Northrop, who has been eating and shopping at Beehive since high school, is one of these regulars. She’s a flexitarian – someone who prefers vegetarian foods – and eats there monthly.

“It’s kind of chaotic, and that’s part of the charm,” she said. “I think it really is in the atmosphere, it’s in the location, it’s in the local owner, and the people I meet

there. I always have good conversations with the people at the bar.”

The juice bar has served many other students from UM, as well as professors, according to Schicchi.

“We see people from the law department – most of the professors come here to eat and bring their friends – to all kinds of engineers, scholars, professionals and regular people, too,” he said.

Better yet, all sorts of business partners were born over countertop conversation, and a few marriages have come out of the Beehive as well.

Customers also come to the health food store to seek out Penna’s expertise for their nutritional needs.

Penna even practices holistic healing at home with his 10 children. One of his sons, Matthew, is a sophomore at UM, and he worked alongside his dad at Beehive for most of his adolescence.

“Beehive definitely has a communal type of environment,” Matthew Penna said. “You have people going in for the juice bar … and before you know it, they’re buying some vitamins, and it works the other way around.”

It’s this kind of dynamic that Beehive customers and employees are hoping won’t be disrupted. The health food storefront has tentative plans to move to a larger location on Bird Road.

MONICA HERNDON // PHOTO EDITOR BEEHIVE: Alumnus Manuel Arca browses the aisles of Beehive Friday. The grocery store, owned by Bob Penna, features a juice bar, which is owned by Carlos Schicchi.

“I can’t wait for my customers to enjoy it,” Penna said. “… One of the things I definitely want to have is space to have seminars. We want to get everybody in the community involved.”

Meanwhile, Schicchi has not decided whether he will move his juice bar into Penna’s new store because the juice bar has taken on a life of its own.

“We need a bigger space to sustain that, and it’s also important that we acquire a kitchen inside of the operation,” he said.

Schicchi envisions opening a small restaurant, but that requires finding the right location and the funds.

ACADEMICS

Speakers bring diverse backgrounds to immigration reform Course offers various perspectives

BY WILLIAM RIGGIN CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

“Immigration Reform: The Current Debate” is a new class that features four professors with varying backgrounds and perspectives on the issue.

“We wanted to expose students to speakers who, as a group, bring different practical and academic perspectives,” said one of the professors, Ariel Armony, who is also the director of Latin American studies. “There is a tendency in universities to approach issues from one side, and we didn’t want to just present the sympathetic side of the argument because of where we are.”

The course tackles an issue that hits close to home, with an estimated 740,000 undocumented immigrants in the state of Florida alone, out of the 11 million nationwide.

Armony said that he conceived the idea for the class because of the progress of current immigration reform in Washington and subsequently brought it up to University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala, who loved the idea. He then brought the idea to Leonidas Bachas, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, who also supported the teamtaught class.

The professors come from different backgrounds: Armony, an expert on Latin American issues; political science professor Joseph Uscinski, who understands the American political system; Rudy Fernandez, who previously served under former President George W. Bush and is now the chief of staff to Shalala and vice president for govern-

“I taught the election course last year that included [GOP hopeful] Herman Cain as a guest speaker, and we thought that bringing in big-name speakers who are practitioners would allow students to learn about immigration up close,” Uscinski said.

The course’s first class featured Enrique Gonzalez, special counsel to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who helped write the current immigration reform bill now in Congress.

The second week featured Jorge Ramos, the popular anchor of Noticiero Univision.

“It’s a very unique opportunity that will only happen once,” said Reid Wilcox, who is enrolled in the class. “To hear from the

architects of current immigration reform and leading thinkers on the issue is amazing, and it will only happen once, here at UM.” Upcoming guests include the former Rep. Tom Tancredo, a 2014 Colorado gubernatorial candidate, and Florida Congressman Joe Garcia, a Democrat whose district includes Monroe County and part of MiamiDade. Tancredo is an opponent of immigration and has referred to Miami as a “thirdworld country” in the past.

Flugtag team doubles its flight length, travels 60 feet ASME revamps last year’s plane design

BY MEGAN MCCRINK SENIOR NEWS WRITER

University of Miami’s American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) got wings this Saturday at the Redbull Flugtag competition.

Held at Bayfront Park, Flugtag requires competitors to fly homemade flying machines with size and weight constraints.

The aircraft was piloted by juniors Oliver Doggart, Ben Patterson and Jon Katzman, and seniors James Johnston and Samad Chaudhry as part of the flight crew.

Before take-off, ASME’s team performed a skit involving crash-test dummies and an evil engineer.

“We are wearing morph suits that look like crash-test dummies and then the pilot is an evil engineer that’s an oppressor,” Johnston said.

“We push him into the water and we do this skit before we push off.”

Their aircraft named Enalpria – which is airplane spelled backwards – flew 60 feet, almost twice the distance from last year’s 36 feet.

ASME’s team did not place or win the People’s Choice award like last year. That did not stop Doggart from enjoying the “blurring” experience.

“I was pretty nervous the entire time we were lining up, but once they started pushing though, I got in the zone,” he said. “After the flight, I was pretty pumped up. It was all a blur.”

Before taking off though, Enalpria was planned and built through different stages. At the end of summer and first week of school, they planned the structure of the aircraft and then began to put together the platform the first two weeks of classes.

Essentially, they took last year’s design and switched it around.

“We have a newer wing design and we repurposed what we did from the wing and moved it from the back to front so it increases

the chances of it gliding further,” senior Mike Saint-Jean said.

On their fourth building day on Wednesday though, ASME hit a wall in their design.

“This is gonna be a long night,” junior Ben Patterson said.

Their original plan, which was to put shrink wrap around the wings, backfired.

“We put shrink wrap on the wings, but it tightens between the two wings and it shrinks in all three dimensions, making it not strong,” Patterson said.

They decided instead to place spacers in the front, like the back, to keep the wings together.

After finishing the building process, they tested the aircraft and turned in their aircraft in Friday morning at 9:30 a.m.

“We usually fly 30-40 feet, but there was a crew error last year, so we are hoping to fix that,” Doggart said. “We are renting a U-Haul truck to transport it to Bayfront too.”

ASME has been competing in Flugtag for four years and it has become a tradition within Sept. 23 - Sept. 25, 2013

the club, the College of Engineering and the school.

“We’ve already begun planning our craft and skit for next year’s Flugtag,” Chaudhry said. “I heard all the outgoing seniors talk about how awesome the experience was in the previous years, so I knew that, as a senior, I wouldn’t have many more opportunities to participate in this type of experience. I wasn’t really looking to win any awards, but the hands-on experience I could gain was a huge incentive.”

Though the project requires hours of time and effort, students who participate in Flugtag as part of ASME have the opportunity to apply fundamentals learned in classes to real world scenarios.

“There are not many things better than working on a craft, pushing it off a 30 foot platform, watching it ‘fly’ and then jumping in after it,” Chaudhry said. “In all honesty, the biggest draw of Flugtag is how awesomely fun it is.”

Alumnus launches photo-framing app App creates templates based on GPS location

Don’t be afraid. Just try it.

Never be afraid to fail.

BY STEVEN RAMIREZ CONTRIBUTING NEWS WRITER

Despite a sluggish economy, University of Miami alumnus Jason Muslin decided to take a risk and start Fanmento!, a smartphone application.

Fanmento! selects templates for photos based on GPS location. The photos can then be ordered for direct home delivery or same-day pickup at certain retail locations such as Walgreens.

For Muslin, Fanmento! is like having a photo booth without waiting in line and being limited to standard templates.

“It’s been done either with a photographer roaming that’s taking your picture, giving you a card, go home, look it up on the Internet, and choose to buy it or not, or a line to going to a photo booth,” he said. “Now with smartphones being so readily available and all these other photography apps, it would be easy and simple.”

Fanmento! launched two weeks ago and includes university-themed logos.

Muslin established partnerships with several universities, such as UM, University of Florida, University of Cincinnati and Texas A&M University, to garner licensing of their logos for use on the app.

Jason Muslin, Fanmento! creator

“It was definitely a challenge to get licensing,” he said. “These schools were forward-speaking with the technology that we were providing.”

Muslin thought of his alma mater first before considering other universities.

“The university was very open to provide this opportunity, giving their alumni a chance to be part of the family,” he said. “UM not only liked the idea but were very open to meet with me, probably because I was an alumnus.”

Fanmento! is available for free on iTunes, and Android users will be able to download the app in a couple of months.

Muslin offered the app initially for free so users would not have to worry about paying. About 1,000 people have downloaded the app since its launch date.

Gen Y meets unentitled reality Happiness is the most sought-after emotion, but it’s also the most elusive. However, there’s actually a simple formula for the pursuit of happiness. It equals reality minus expectations, according to the blog “Wait But Why.” This logic is presented in the article “Why Generation Y Yuppies are Unhappy,” which went viral after being shared on Huffington Post last week. If our reality exceeds our expectations, we are set for life. But this has not been the case for members of Generation Y, who think they are special and thus set their expectations too high.

The notion makes sense on the surface, but the author’s overgeneralizations and pervasive cynicism must be discounted. In any generation, there will be certain people with a sense of entitlement and others without.

It’s true that students who haven’t pursued internships and research opportunities in college, or made any other efforts to prepare for a career, will be in for a rude awakening. Given the current state of the economy, even the best-trained graduates will have to work hard to reach their goals.

Ask a handful of Gen Y-ers about the first job they expect to hold out of college (we did), and

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Stephanie Parra MANAGING EDITOR Nicky Diaz

you’ll hear the same response: “Do you mean the job I hope to have, or my realistic answer?”

We are well aware of the fact that we need to have a pragmatic outlook when we enter the job market. This is not based purely on logical reasons – everyone has always had to work their way up to the top – but also for circumstantial ones.

Generation Y’s reality is a difficult one to grapple with. It consists of college loan debt, unpaid internships and worrisome unemployment rates.

Does that mean we should lower our expectations below this discouraging line of reality, in order to find happiness?

People don’t achieve greatness by telling themselves that their fate is mediocrity. Part of the American Dream is being better off than our parents were before us. We have to set our expectations high to be the world’s next wave-makers and gamechangers.

As long as Gen Y realizes that there’s a learning curve in the workforce as well, we expect our reality to be OK. Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hurricane editorial board.

n many movies I’ve seen, there are the “hot scenes” – lustful kisses, passionate groping, vases knocked over HANA ABDULLA CONTRIBUTING and clothes COLUMNIST that can’t come off fast enough.

The foreplay is always perfect. Then comes the “big moment,” with one beautiful transition into the next.

There are no questions or interruptions, just gasps and goosebumps. But I can’t recall ever seeing someone stop in the middle of the lustful roller coaster ride to say, “Yes, we can have intercourse now” or “I do not plan on allowing you to penetrate me.”

Many rape prevention and safe-sex advocate groups chant,

“Yes means yes, and no means no,” but there is a lack of real discourse on what consent means. I would like to explore this often overlooked gray area. There may not always be clear-cut moments of communicating and understanding “yes” or “no.”

Sometimes my sister asks to borrow something that I don’t want to lend her. But I suffer from peoplepleasing disorder, so I say, “Yes,” when I want to say, “No.” Recently my friends wanted to meet up, and I didn’t. But then I did, and then I didn’t. I was thinking “no” as my car drove there.

Halfway there, I decided I didn’t feel like being around people, so I went home.

Consent can be that fleeting.

One second I want something and the next I don’t. I have a right to change my mind, and it doesn’t make my new decision void.

Being intoxicated also plays into this, and thus, it is another issue that should be mentioned when discussing proper consent. Most drunk people can’t decide which shoe goes on which foot, so how can they be capable of giving someone consent to “hook up?”

I know people who have been raped and others who don’t acknowledge that they have raped. If you see wrongdoing, report it, stop it and stand up for what’s right.

We must respect the gray area and understand what’s considered to be proper consent. And it is our responsibility to talk about this and teach others what it really means.

Find creative ways to get the approval to move from first base to second base and so forth. Life is not a movie. Every transition counts.

Aside from the obvious changes, like the new control center, camera filters, iTunes Radio and multitasking windows, I am most impressed by the less noticeable features.

To start, Apple has fixed many universal pet peeves. For example, time stamps for each individual text message can now be seen with

a quick swipe to the left. Folders also no longer have a limit on how many apps can be put inside each, meaning neurotic app organizers can file apps to their hearts’ content. Finally, photos can be organized by date or location depending on your preference, making the transfer of pictures to iPhoto much smoother.

On top of that, our pal Siri has gotten much smarter. She can now search through your Twitter feed and improve her pronunciation of words when you teach her the correct pronunciations. Better yet, she can remind you of something once you return home, if your address is programmed into the phone.

Another clever improvement is that the Safari app now has an extra folder that includes links recently posted on your Twitter feed. This way, when you open the Twitter folder on Safari, an entire list shows up with links of interesting, relevant articles recommended by your friends.

One of Apple’s smartest ideas is including the option to revert back to certain iOS 6 settings. For example, apps on the screen tend to float and shift depending the phone’s tilt, but if you’re prone to motion sickness, you can switch this off. You can also turn off the new setting that automatically updates your apps for you. And for fans of the classic marimba ringtone, don’t fret. You can still access your old ringtones in the sounds settings.

Whether you make the switch for the wannabe-hipster camera filters, the newly accented Siri or the pretty colors, you’ll discover dozens of improvements over iOS 6. It isn’t too late to jump on the update bandwagon.

Roommate rules key to avoid door-slamming

F

ALYSSA JACOBSON SENIOR COLUMNIST

or many students, college is their first time living with a roommate rather than their parents. When I was a freshman, I was eager to find a roommate who’d become my best friend for life.

I looked forward to a year filled with pizza parties, sharing clothes and a shoulder to cry

on.

However, roommate situations often turn out to be an awkward, uncomfortable or a downright terrible tale. This is completely understandable. You need time to adjust when you’re living with a stranger who has a different personality.

After living with three extremely different roommates, sharing both a tiny dorm

room and a larger apartment, I have found common principles that optimize roommate harmony and keep conflict at bay.

First, don’t break basic societal rules.

Nose picking, spitting, burping, chewing with your mouth open and ignoring personal hygiene were not OK when you were 7 years old, and they are not acceptable from a roommate.

Second, “sexile” properly. Establish boundaries and rules about significant others. No one likes to walk into a room to get a textbook and instead gain an eyeful of more than they bargained for. Hang a sign on the door – a sock, a tie, pretty much anything.

But please, just give some notice.

Finally, communication is key. Conflict does not have to lead to door-slamming or moving out. If you are studying, for example, and your roommate is playing loud music, speak up immediately. If your roommate’s habit of leaving her hairbrush on the kitchen

counter bothers you, tell her. Evil glares or irritated glances alone will not convey the depth of the problem.

Sharing a small space can be difficult, and even a good roommate can begin to get on your last nerve by the conclusion of the year. But many students will at least have found someone with whom they can share their worries and triumphs – a confidante to help them through those swirling college days accompanied by stressful all-nighters.

If not, there is an upside to even the worst of roommate situations. The experience is just another way we prepare ourselves to interact with others in the future. Everyone we come in contact with, whether it be the messy roommate, the noisy part animal, the hoarder, the night owl or even the “sexiler,” can help us learn valuable lessons.

motional literacy is the ability to use words to express one’s feelings, desires and intentions. It is the difference between saying, “I’m sad” and “I feel like you just stuck a corkscrew in my belly button and wrenched HUNTER WRIGHT CONTRIBUTING my guts out.”

COLUMNIST The frustration of feeling unable to vocalize an opinion is debilitating. Often, we resort to silence instead of opening our mouths to convey emotions that may come out weaker than what we feel.

With words, one can feel secure in the realm of his or her projected psyche, rather than sit prettily in muted dissatisfaction.

Emotional literacy is a means of controlling one’s environment. If we do not possess the vocabulary to adequately articulate our thoughts, there should be no wonder when we don’t receive what we want.

People respond to genuine communication. “I’m angry” becomes meaningless because it is overused and lifeless. Such basic phrases don’t make the listener want to act because it is impossible to empathize with a person who does not let us understand the full scope of his or her fury. Is the anger a mild exasperation or blood-boiling rage? Only if we understand can we then offer the correct remedying response.

In school, a child might not be equipped with the right words to express that an assignment isn’t clear or that a concept doesn’t make sense. He or she might resort to, “I don’t get it,” and give up, or worse yet, “I don’t care,” and carry that attitude throughout life. Those who do not acquire command of language will not only struggle in the workplace and everyday situations, but also suffer the consequences in the most vital of human relationships.

As an English major, my recommendation is to read literature. Books expand the mind and supply us with new words, as well as lessons in metaphor and analogy – our greatest tools in pinpointing exactly what we feel.

For those of you who simply will not read because of either time constraint or apathy, I can only ask that you avoid the mundane and the monstrously unimaginative. Dive into the language lexicon that will allow you to explore the depths of yourself.

When we lack emotional literacy, we are deceiving others and in turn, we deceive ourselves. Describe your demons and illustrate your enthusiasms. You just may find that communication can be cathartic.

Hands beat against bongos, mimicking the groove of the Latin music playing from a nearby storefront’s speakers. Men sit at tables playing dominos, while tourists stroll down the street, some huddled near a stand full of bright jewelry.

“English or Spanish?” asked the owner of the stand, a short, elderly man with a thick Spanish accent.

Little Havana got its name in the 1960s when the neighborhood began to emerge as a center for the newly immigrated Cuban population, many of whom f led political persecution in Cuba. Much of the action is centered on the bustling Calle Ocho, or Eighth Street, the southern border of the neighborhood. It extends north to the Dolphin Expressway and west to east from Douglas Road to I-95.

The vibrant area is filled with colorful displays and eye-catching signs. Towering above the buildings on Calle Ocho is a multicolored ice cream cone with “Azucar” written in small, pink neon-lit letters. Beneath it, there is a tagline that reads, “Homemade Cuban ice cream.” The inside of the store is lined with cushioned couches made of guayaberas, traditional Cuban shirts, and the floor is made from replicas of Cuban tiles.

Store owner Suzy Batlle explained that she went to Pennsylvania State University to learn the art of making ice cream after the bank industry started to falter, hurting her career.

“My grandmother made ice cream many years ago in Cuba,” she said. “My love for ice cream came from her.”

The store offers up Cuban-inspired flavors like mamey, cafe con leche, flan and, the most popular, Abuela Maria, which is filled with guava, cream cheese and Maria crackers.

“I also take suggestions from my customers,” she explained. “Mantecado, which is a Cuban vanilla, was something I made with these guys from Domino Park.”

Little Havana sets itself apart from other areas of Miami because of how much importance the inhabitants put on keeping their cultural roots intact.

Viernes Culturales, or “Cultural Fridays,” is a large cultural festival with live music, domino games, local arts and crafts, and dancing. Cultural Fridays take place from 7 to 11 p.m. on the last Friday of every month between 13th and 17th avenues.

On 14th avenue and Eighth street, a McDonald’s is occupied by a group of locals who sell signature Latin American “Panama hats.” A couple blocks down you can try Pizza Cubana and traditional Cuban sandwiches at La Esquina de La Fama restaurant and cafeteria. At Cubaocho Art and Research Center, you can enjoy a mass collection of Cuban art created between 1850 and 1958.

No matter what street you decide to cross, as long as you’re in Little Havana, you’ll find an authentic slice of Cuban life waiting to be discovered.

THEATER REVIEW

MGMT tries darker sound in third album

Play takes comedy to explore pain

BY MARLEE LISKER STAFF WRITER

There was a lot of excitement surrounding the release of MGMT’s newest, self-titled album Tuesday. However, those who loved the lighthearted, dynamic tracks on “Oracular Spectacular” will quickly be thrown off by this album, which moves away from fun, trippy effects to something deeper, and, in some cases, more sinister. Though still rich with effects and unique sounds, “MGMT,” the band’s third record, contains a dark quality that many may find off-putting.

There is an instant departure into the other-worldly quality of the opening track, “Alien Days.” The song screeches to a start with trippy background noise and a child’s voice singing, “Sometimes the windows combine with the seams in a way that twitches on a peak at the place where the spirit was slain.”

The song then switches to a simpler sound with lead singer Andrew VanWyngarden taking over the vocals. However, the sharp, ethereal opening will stay with listeners, leaving them unsettled.

This unrest weaves through many of the songs, such as the track “Your Life

is a Lie.” The song has simple, sometimes ineffective lyrics, but content that is vaguely disturbing, with lines such as, “Try not to cry/you will survive/on your own.”

There are certain tracks, such as “Cool Song No. 2,” where the background effects and distortion drown out the vocals, making some of the lyrics tough to hear. However, this track contains great percussive style that is present in several other tracks, including “Your Life is A Lie,” which has a steady beat punctuated by a cowbell, and “AstroMancy,” which opens with a tribalsounding drumline.

The eighth track, “I Love You Too, Death,” is one of the CD’s most captivating songs, despite its off-putting name. The opening includes a variety of sounds, from chimes to something like the whirring of machinery. The lyrics are still often disturbing, but more provocative, with lines such as, “Cashiers won’t deduct the pain, loneliness sleeps on the couch.” Near the end, the track both speeds up and derails, calling to mind the image of a creepy carnival scene from a movie.

This transitions rather oddly into the most upbeat song of the record – “Plenty of Girls in the Sea,” a lighthearted, electro-pop track with an optimistic sound reminiscent of a ‘60s jukebox tune.

Though there are many instances of artistry and technique on “MGMT,” anyone who once jammed out to “Electric Feel” may be disappointed with this dark departure. There are many cases of expressive lyricism, and the tracks are well-developed, particularly the percussion. However, the disturbing themes and off-putting vibes of certain songs will leave many fans unsettled, not to mention disappointed.

PHOTO BRIEF

Musicians groove in the Grove

BY MADELYN PAQUETTE CONTRIBUTING EDGE WRITER

Blue lights fade in, outlining the deer’s profile in vivid silhouette across the top of the theater. Brakes screech. It’s an arresting visual and a significant one; an entire play is built around the aftershocks of these 30 seconds. In a stirring production of “Sons of the Prophet,” GableStage at the Biltmore Hotel explored the universality of pain and how we learn to cope with the suffering that surrounds us.

“Sons of the Prophet” is a Pulitzer Prize for drama finalist by Stephen Karam about the Douaihy brothers, who must confront everything from heritage to faith to relationships when their father is killed in a freak car accident.

The show deals with homosexuality, depression and religion without judging its subjects, allowing the play to explore sensitive topics through humor. The dark humor prevents “Sons of the Prophet” from sinking under the weight of its own heavy themes; on the contrary, it’s an evening full of both laugh-out-loud jokes and thought-provoking moments.

GableStage’s cast excelled at maximizing the show’s comedic elements. As the older brother Joseph, Michael Focas demonstrated his gift for deadpan delivery, playing the “straight man” to the insanity around him. He was particularly hilarious as he attempted to handle a medical answering machine, which will ring true with anyone who has ever dealt with one. Michael Kushner, who portrayed Charles Douiahy, delivered some of the night’s most memorable punch lines with the flair and panache of a natural comedian, though his dramatic turns sometimes felt slightly forced.

The dynamic chemistry of the actors, particularly in large group scenes, kept the crowd fully engaged through the 90-minute show. George Schiavone was nothing short of brilliant in the role of Uncle Bill. His moments of boiling, frustrated anger at the death of his brother were spot-on, and his commitment upped the energy of each one of his scenes.

Jose Urbino also deserves commendation for his portrayal of the reporter Timothy. Among a cast in which some members occasionally struggled with over-rehearsed stiffness, Urbino inhabited his role with relaxed believability and crafted compelling banter with Focas’ character in their shared scenes.

GableStage’s production featured several noteworthy technical elements. Lyle Baskin’s set design was simple, yet effective, utilizing multiple levels and moving platforms with an ease that was subtly beautiful in its smooth transitions. The performance space caused a few minor difficulties. Projections were distorted, and actors were sometimes closed to parts of the audience due to the width of the stage, but the setbacks were handled well. A comedy about pain might seem like an unlikely evening in the theater, but in GableStage’s poignant production of “Sons of the Prophet,” no pairing seems more natural. After all, sometimes if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry.

“SONS OF THE PROPHET” WHEN: Runs until Oct. 21 at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays WHERE: GableStage, 1200 Anastasia Ave., Coral Gables

Miami hangs record 77 points on overmatched Tigers No. 15 Canes head to Tampa for next game

BY KRISTEN SPILLANE STAFF WRITER

Duke Johnson opened Saturday night with a 95-yard kickoff return, so Hurricane fans knew what they were in for early on.

Miami defeated the Savannah State Tigers 77-7, breaking the university’s single-game points record.

Though the game marked coach Al Golden’s largest victory margin, he showed respectful sportsmanship in an agreement with Savannah State coach Earnest Wilson III. The fourth quarter was shortened to 12 minutes, as the outcome was long

since determined.

“We talked at halftime. He’s trying to teach his team how to fight, so I appreciate that and I understand that,” Golden said.

It was an opportunity for Miami to test its younger players, as the veteran Canes were afforded some rest.

“We’re going to learn a lot about a lot of individual performances, and we needed to. We needed to see what the second- and third-team guys could do,” Golden said.

Senior quarterback Stephen Morris left after just four snaps with an apparent leg injury. Fans and teammates alike were filled with anxiety, but Morris is expected to start next week.

“It’s so difficult because I always get the questions going into a game: ‘Are you going to sit so-and-so?’ The reality is these

guys work so hard,” Golden explained.

“Try and go tell Stephen he’s not playing after a bye week. It was an unfortunate circumstance, we’re blessed and grateful that he’s healthy and that he’s going to be OK.” Sophomore running back Dallas Crawford got Miami’s first touchdown on a four-yard dash and then added two more scores in the second quarter.

Freshman receiver Stacy Coley nabbed his first touchdown reception on a pass from Ryan Williams. The junior quarterback was 11-for-13 with 176 passing yards.

“It was a great performance. Ryan and I were playing on the sideline, telling each other we would be in at halftime.

The next series Stephen got hurt and he went in and handled it like a first-string quarterback,” Crawford said. “He hanSept. 23 - Sept. 25, 2013

dled the offense and acted like a captain.”

Williams was pleased with his accuracy and control.

“Every day I’m taking mental reps,” he said. “I feel like I’m prepared regardless if I go in or not.”

Redshirt freshman Gray Crow also saw action late in the game and threw for a 13-yard touchdown to tight end Beau Sandland.

Allen Hurns and Gus Edwards also found the end zone for Miami.

In another solid defensive outing, the Canes defense allowed just one touchdown when Savannah State’s DeQuan Daniels broke free on a 75-yard run.

Miami (3-0) travels to Tampa on Saturday to take on the South Florida Bulls (0-3) at Raymond James Stadium. Kickoff is set for noon.

Sept. 23 - Sept. 25, 2013

Canes manage just one shot on goal

BY ALEX SCHWARTZ STAFF WRITER

To get the story of Miami’s game against No. 5 North Carolina on Sunday afternoon, all one had to do was look toward the field at Cobb Stadium when it was over.

That is where UNC’s Crystal Dunn was mobbed for pictures and autographs.

The senior midfielder recorded the first hat trick of her illustrious career, leading the Tar Heels to a 4-0 victory over Miami.

“She’s so fast, she’s so agile, she’s so athletic,” Miami coach Mary-Frances Monroe said, trying to explain why Dunn is so difficult to contain. “She understands the game so well, her movement off the ball, on the ball – she’s so dynamic.”

Dunn, the 2012 recipient of the Hermann Trophy as the best player in the nation, opened up the scoring in the 30th minute.

She placed the ball in the right side of the net past diving UM goalkeeper Emily Lillard from the top of the box.

That was North Carolina’s lone score in the first half, despite dominating possession and holding Miami (6-3, 1-3 ACC) without a shot on goal.

In the 64th minute, Dunn scored from 20 yards out, sending a perfect strike into the upper-right corner. Sophomore midfielder Katie Bowen was credited with the assist.

Just seven minutes later, Dunn completed her hat trick from 15 yards away. Paige Nielsen and Satara Murray were both credited with assists.

“That’s why she’s on the national team.

That’s why she’s the best college player in the country, because she gets it done,” Monroe said after Dunn singlehandedly kept the Canes out of contention. “I think we did a good job of frustrating her. Tara Schwitter did an awesome job marking her and she got a little bit frustrated, but a player like that, you give her a little inch, she’ll score a goal.”

The Hurricanes, by comparison, managed one shot on goal the entire game.

Miami had its two best scoring chances in the first 10 minutes of the second half on a pair of corner kicks. On the first, sophomore Jasmine Paterson’s header went wide and, on the second, keeper Anna Sieloff saved junior Erin McGovern’s header.

Summer Green added the final goal for UNC (8-2, 2-2 ACC) on a penalty kick in the 86th minute.

The scoreboard showed a lopsided affair, but Monroe took away some positives.

“I’m really proud of our team,” she said.

“Obviously Carolina is the top team, in my eyes, in the country. We had a game plan … and I’m really proud of our team because they stuck to the plan, they bought in, they were confident, they were ready to play.”

Miami plays No. 1 Florida State at 7 p.m. Thursday in Tallahassee. The Canes upset the Noles last year when they were No. 1 in the nation, but they’re undefeated this year.

Dear Lindsay Lohan,

DEAR V

I went to the game yesterday and started tailgating around 2:30 p.m. The problem is, I really don’t remember anything past 3:45 p.m. I just turned 21, so I decided that it was time to really live it up. My friends told me that I hooked up with a frat boy, but I don’t know which fraternity he’s in, let alone what his name is. Does this make me a slut? Should I get tested for an STD? Please help!

Sincerely,

I got a little too crazy at Sun Life...

Head ached and Hungover

Blacking out is never okay. I understand, though – we’ve all been there. Tailgating correctly is an art form that few of us at the University of Miami have mastered. The tip to the perfect game is to stay hydrated and keep yourself in check.

If you notice that you’re slurring words and dropping your voice a few octaves, then you’re stepping into some dangerous territory, and you need to drop the Natty Light and pick up a bottle of Zephyrhills.

As far as hooking up with a random stranger – I’m all about it. It’s college, and we need to embrace our wild years.

This is arguably the only time in your life when it will be socially acceptable to get so drunk, that the ugly kid in your marketing class starts looking attractive. You are not a slut

– you are a human being and catering to your libido is always allowed.

However, we’d like to think that the people we go to school with aren’t dirty and won’t infect us with gross things like gonorrhea, but the real world sucks, and just because you go to share a desk with someone at the library doesn’t mean that they’re not disgusting.

And even if you didn’t contract chlamydia, to quote my favorite high school gym teacher, “Don’t have sex because you will get pregnant and die.”

I suggest you get yourself some Plan B and visit the health center.
