After graduation next month, the biggest change to the University of Miami campus in decades will begin �– one that will impact thou-sands of students, faculty, staff and visitors by creating a new entrance along San Amaro Drive.

The internal road project, which has been discussed for de-cades, will finally get underway with building a new roundabout at the intersection of Miller Road and San Amaro.The roundabout will replace the current traffic light. It will allow cars to still navigate onto San Amaro or enter the campus di-rectly. Eventually, the entrance will be accompanied by new University of Miami signage and landscaping.

�“It�’ll beautify an entrance for the campus,�” said Joe Natoli, se-nior vice president for business and finance and chief financial officer. �“It�’ll really be a very attractive way of entering the campus and bring-ing people into the Ring Theatre, Gusman Center and Student Ac-tivities Center (SAC).

UM officials hope that by late August, commuters will be able to drive into what is now the park-ing lot behind the Frost School of Music. The new road will then turn left and run through the parking lots behind the Law School, Ungar Building and Cox Science Center before reconnecting to San Amaro at Robbia Avenue.

Planning for the road began in 2006 after a �“very hasty and fast negotiation�” between the univer-sity and city of Coral Gables, said

Janet Ga-varrete, as-sociate vice president of campus plan-ning and de-velopment. She said Coral Gables officials wanted the work to begin in order to move forward with other UM projects such as the SAC.

Coral Gables officials did not reply to repeated requests for comment on the project. In the past, they have said they hope the internal road will help ease traffic through residential streets adjacent to the campus. However, those streets will still be accessible to all motorists.

The project�’s cost has not yet been determined. Still, it will result in the loss of hundreds of parking spaces in the effected lots. The lots, however, will provide more space. This summer, the parking permit holders in those lots will be able to use the Pavia parking garage, which recently added two floors and more than 300 spaces.

Though many students are not aware of the road project, sev-eral think it�’s a good idea.

�“I know that there�’s a lot of school traffic mixed with Coral Gables traffic, so I think having our own road would certainly be help-ful,�” said Angela Clark, a third-year law student who parks in the purple zone behind Frost.

Richard Sobaram, director of parking and transportation, said schedules and delivery routes have been developed to accommodate the Ring Theatre and Gusman Center�’s 37 summer events, deliv-eries to the University Center and ongoing construction of the SAC.

Though shuttle routes will still run to the Fountain behind the Ashe Build-ing, a new stop will be created near the post office in the University Center. That stop is expected to be-come a hub for pedestrians and fu-ture events. Also, the street in front of the Ring (Miller Drive) will no longer have metered parking.

�“We think it�’ll also make the shuttles more efficient,�” Sobaram said. �“A round trip from Ponce to [Miller Drive] will be reduced by five to seven minutes.�”

Officials hope the road will be completed in 90 days, but accom-modations have been made for summer storms or other unpredict-able factors that may slow down construction. The new Miller Drive plaza will not be completed until the spring of 2013, at the earliest.

According to Gavarrete, Coral Gables suggested a round-about in order to ease traffic flow and meet environmental stan-dards. Gavarrete, who has been monitoring the university�’s traffic since 1992, expects the new traffic flow and upgraded parking lots to complement last fall�’s implementa-tion of color-coded parking lots; the yellow zone, specifically, may be divided into smaller zones next fall.

�“The objective is to always find a parking spot because we sell to

the amount

that we have,�” Gavarrete said.

The negotiation between the city and university called for the in-ternal road to be built in two phas-es, but Gavarrete says she hopes the second phase may not be nec-essary because of the Miller Road changes. The second phase would involve extending the road through the Memorial Building and School of Communication lots and even-tually linking with Stanford Drive near the School of Business Ad-ministration.

In the past, students and oth-ers have raised concerns about the road cutting through the Arbore-tum. Current plans will not affect the Arboretum.

�“The big issue for the arbore-tum is whether phase two is also approved, which will come later,�” said Steve Pearson, director of the arboretum. �“We are encouraged that the university is trying to solve this problem of a need for an inter-nal road without it impacting the arboretum and we�’re fully support-ing that the city approves the plan that way.�”

In addition to the road and the SAC, campus changes will include the UHealth Center, a relocated Toppel Career Center, new class-room buildings for both Law and Frost, improvements to Cox and additional lighting for the intramu-ral fields.

April 26 - May 9, 2012 THE MIAMI HURRICANE NEWS 3

In response to numerous complaints and suggestions, Parking and Transportation will divide the expansive yellow parking zone into three new col-ored zones next semester, mak-ing a total of eight zones.

This year, the yellow zone was comprised of the areas near the BankUnited Center (BUC), Wellness Center, Pavia Garage, and Eaton and Mahoney-Pear-son Residential Colleges. The new changes will make Pa-via and its surroundings areas a pink zone, Ma-honey-Pearson will be designated white, and yellow will maintain the areas near the Wellness Center and the BUC.

According to Director of Parking and Transportation Richard Sobaram, the deci-sion to divide yellow into three zones had been discussed since October. The only problem was whether to enact the changes for this past spring semester or wait until next fall.

Sobaram said another is-sue was reducing the number of cars �“hunting�” for spots throughout cam-pus, espe-c i a l l y n e a r

what Sobaram calls �“the aca-demic core,�” or the University Center. This hunting problem was a major factor that initially led to the colored parking zones.

�“In previous years, we sold people a hunting license, giving you the right to hunt for a park-ing spot,�” Sobaram said. �“That created a lot of intercampus trips.�”

Students like senior Kevin Peterson chose the yellow zone because of its proximity to the Wellness Center. However, he will consider switching to the new Mahoney-Pearson zone to get assured parking near his classes.

�“I usually park in front of the BUC because I don�’t like ga-rages, and most spots are packed early,�” he said. �“I would try to get the white zone because it�’s

near my classes at Merrick.�”Peterson, however,

feels that the divi-sion of the yel-

low zone will not have

much of an ef-

f e c t o n

easing parking problems. Others like sophomore Karam Alawa believe that this may help.

�“I think so, but only time will tell�” Alawa said. �“Last year it cost $400 to park in all areas when it now costs the same to park only in yellow.�”

Though many seek to claim the new zones�’ close distance to classes and the central area of campus, freshman Stefania Pin-to is worried that the division of yellow will affect the options she had within the yellow zone.

�“I�’m probably going to switch to Pavia, so I�’m not happy with the division,�” she said. �“Because I�’m a psychol-ogy major, I take a lot of classes at Flipse, and I park next to the BUC and Rainbow Building to get to class.�”

Pinto also felt that the new floors of Pavia should have been completed sooner. According to Sobaram, the new levels will open in late May and the first floor will be reserved for visitors.

After three years of trying to extend their range coverage, WVUM will final-ly be able to upgrade their antenna and transmit how far they can broadcast.

The current transmitter can broad-cast in a 15-mile radius. This includes Coral Gables and Miami. With the up-grade, the transmitter will be able to broadcast as far north as Fort Lauderdale and as far south as Florida City, accord-ing to senior Alex Zinn, WVUM�’s chief engineer.

With the upgrade, the station will be able to reach a 1.5 million more people, which will bring in more advertisers, ac-cording to senior Micheal Matthieson, WVUM underwriting director.

�“A bigger audience is more appeal-ing to various companies,�” Matthieson said. �“Hopefully we will be able to at-tract and secure more sponsors. Getting big corporations allows us to do so much

more.�”The station will also be able to make

contacts in the new areas and gain access to new artists, venues, and concerts.

The last transmitter upgrade was in 1998, when the station could only broad-cast in Coral Gables.

�“Right now, compared to other sta-tions, we�’re the little kids on the block,�” Zinn said. �“All of a sudden, we�’re going to be competing with commercial stations.�”

The station had some difficulty get-ting approval from the school and finding the money to pay for the equipment.

Because the current transmitter is situated on top of the Hecht Residential College, this upgrade will change the structure of the building. Aside from in-stalling the tower, antenna, and the trans-mitter, there will also need to be upgrades to power supply systems and connections.

The station received the antenna and tower from a donor who was a part of the radio station in the sixties and now spon-sors it.

To raise money for the transmitter, the station has held several fundraisers, including Radiothon, which is an annual weeklong fundraiser where they ask view-

ers to pledge money to support the station. This year, Radiothon began on April 22. The event will run until Sunday.

The fundraiser includes giveaways for the listener who pledges the most in an hour.

The event will also be distributing giveaway items for the listener who pledg-es the most money in an hour. For $5, any listener will be allowed to enter the studio to record a sweeper �– known as a transi-tion that is played between the songs.

Radiothon will also be hosting the Dubstep Pool Party, which will be taking place Friday at the UC pool. The party will begin at 8 p.m. and will end at mid-night.

With fundraising events like Radio-thon, the small station will be able to raise sufficient funds to expand and reach a larger audience.

�“The further we expand, the greater our knowledge of the underground stuff will expand,�” said sophomore Ashley Gonzalez, promotions director elect. �“Yes, it�’s more pressure, but it�’s also great that more people get to hear my voice and music that deserves to be heard over top 40. These are bands that are just as good.�”

Historic Art Building to be renovated

After more than a decade in dilapidation and dis-repair, the historic Art Building at the north end of cam-pus is undergoing a tedious renovation process.

The two-story, wooden building was built after World War II to accommodate returning veterans. After nearly 20 years of complaints by students and faculty, however, the structure was deemed unsafe in 2003. As a result, the building had been fenced off until the renovations began last November.

The construction is expected to take about a year, said Richard Phillips, who works for the general con-tractor, Turn Key Construction. The goal is to make the building structurally sound.

�“We are reusing the historic wood as much as we can, but because of hurricane requirements, we have to replace certain structural elements of the building with new materials,�” Phillips said.

Once the work is done, the building will house several College of Arts and Sciences departments, ac-cording to Mark Diaz, associate vice president for budget and planning, through the UM media relations office.

It is unlikely that art will be one of the depart-ments that moves into the renovated building, said Lise Drost, the chair of the department of art and art his-tory. This is because the art department is now housed in the new Studio Arts Complex, near the Alumni Center.

�“While we were all very fond of the tropical wood-en buildings, the faculty and students are really pleased with the new facilities because it brings so many of the studio areas into close contact,�” she said.

The painting annex, also known as building 3, will mostly likely be demolished soon, according Drost. The remaining building, which houses the photogra-phy and graphic design departments, will continue to be used. The project stems from a 2010 decision by the Coral Gables Historic Preservation Board, which required the university to preserve and maintain the historical integrity of the building.

The Art Building is a part of a collection of wooden structures informally known as �“the shacks.�” Constructed from disassembled military barracks, the shacks were intended as temporary classrooms for the many students who enrolled at UM after the passage of a 1944 law that provided benefits to returning World War II veterans.

Over the years, the Art Building was used by campus administrators and later, the art department. It is the only one of the three remaining �“shacks�” desig-nated as historic.

History reveals iconic �‘U�’ logo�’s meaning

There are thousands of univer-sities across the nation but only one gets to be �“The U.�” Here�’s a look at how U logos and traditions have evolved.

1973 – Split-U Logo is bornMiami athletics had gone

through several years of uniform and helmet changes, with inconsistent logos ranging from an M to UM. The Athletic Federation �– now the Hurricane Club, the student-athlete scholarship fund �– commissioned a logo re-design that brought about the split-U logo in 1973.

The athletic department was looking for something that would symbolize the University of Miami without having to say those words, according to Evelyn Schwartz, a for-mer assistant athletic director with the Athletic Federation. The letters UM were not enough because they could have represented many other schools. Miami-bred publicist Julian Cole, who was the first graduate of UM�’s radio and television depart-ment, worked with graphic artist Bill

Bodenhamer to develop the green and orange split-U logo.

In the middle of the U, different images for each sport were inserted, like a baseball player, football player or tennis player. The U was then used for slogans like �“U gotta believe,�” �“U is great,�” and �“U is moving forward.�”

Schwartz said that the Athletic Federation ultimately wanted people who saw the split-U to automatically think of the University of Miami.

�“Beyond our wildest dreams, this is what happened,�” Schwartz said.

Coupled with the excitement of the growing sports program, there was a hype surrounding the U and it really stuck, said Schwartz.

Schwartz said that if the split-U weren�’t created, people probably wouldn�’t have even thought about calling Miami �“The U.�”

Simply saying The U did not cause any confusion because there was only one university in Miami, said John Routh, executive director of the UM Sports Hall of Fame.

�“If some was referring to the university, you knew it was UM,�” he said.

1979 – The Great U Logo DebateFormer UM President Henry

King Stanford set up a committee to find a replacement for the �“U�” logo,

but students launched a �“Save the U�” campaign in response, according to an article in The Miami Hurricane in August 1979.

The article reported that Peter Zorn, the university�’s Graphics De-partment chair at the time, felt the �“U�” could have represented any uni-versity. He wanted a logo to represent the whole university rather than indi-vidual departments. Walter Etling, a former Board of Trustees representa-tive, said that many departments ad-opted the �“U�” as a university symbol when the logo was developed, ac-cording to the article.

c. 1980s – It’s All About The UToday, the phrase �“It�’s All

About the U�” is seen on T-shirts and overheard daily, but it originated in the Athletic department.

John Routh came to UM in 1983. He was known for his role as both Sebastian the Ibis and the base-ball team�’s Miami Maniac. Routh said that the Athletic department coined the phrase �“It�’s all about the U,�” but they used it for a very dif-ferent purpose. Athletics employees who felt they worked hard and for lit-tle pay would express their dedication by saying It�’s all about the U. The im-plication was that, �“We�’re just doing this for the athletes,�” said to Routh.

�“It�’s ironic that, years later, it

was actually the slogan and adapt-ed,�” Routh said.

1992- Throwing up the UThe U hand gesture was created

in 1992 for a home football game against Florida State. Former UM cheerleader Bill Tigano, B.S.C. �’93, introduced the U hand motion for football fans to use as the Band of the Hour played the Star Wars �“Imperial Theme.�”

�“FSU has the chop, and the Ga-tors have their chomp, so I wanted to come up with something to identify us,�” Tigano told Miami Magazine in 2007.

The hand gesture is recognized around the country.

�“Over the years, it grew and grew,�” Routh said. �“Everyone now knows when you do the U, they know exactly what you�’re talking about.�”

2008 – UHealthThe University of Miami Health

Systems adopted the UHealth name and logo after research showed how well recognized the U brand was, according to Joanne Leahy, assis-tant vice president of marketing for UHealth.

The research showed that peo-ple who saw the U thought of the University of Miami and not just its

athletics program. The study went beyond the local community, with around 40 percent of people in the Northeast also recognizing the U, ac-cording to Leahy.

�“People just knew what the U was, and they not only knew what it was but also thought very highly of it,�” Leahy said.

2009 – The U goes university-wide

Prior to the prevalent split-U, the university used the Miami bar logo on university documents and supplies. But in 2009, the split-U was adopted as the new identity of the University of Miami.

�“It�’s kind of an unusual step for a university to use an athletic logo as its overall logo for the institution,�” Todd Ellenberg said.

This change came after conduct-ing focus groups in Los Angeles, Chi-cago and New York. The public re-lations consulting firm hired by UM surveyed high achieving high school juniors and seniors as well as parents, alumni and high school guidance counselors.

The split-U is one of the most recognizable collegiate marks na-tionally and may the most pervasive graphic symbol throughout South Florida, according to the University Communications website.

School tries to meet student rental demands

Lights, camera, action! That is, if you reserve a camera before Thursday.

The School of Communication equipment room houses everything from HD cameras to extension cords and is the one-stop shop for SoC students who need equipment to complete assignment and final projects.

The cost of the equipment runs any-where from several hundred to several thousand dollars, which means that not many students can afford to purchase their own equipment.

However, for some students, get-ting equipment can be a challenge. With final project due dates looming, the equipment room�’s shelves are nearly empty on by the end of the week.

�“We find that the shelves are empty on Thursdays and Fridays,�” said Tod Landess, the production equipment su-pervisor. �“This is the crunch now.�”

Equipment is allocated to students on a first-come, first serve basis. Stu-dents can reserve equipment online or visit the equipment room, located in room 1014 in the Wolfson Building.

Visual journalism classes especially struggle to get required cameras. Three introductory visual journalism classes, which have up to 16 students each, must share 21 Cannon Rebel XT cameras. Additionally, there are only five Can-non T3i cameras available for the 14 students enrolled in the video journal-ism class.

Film students have 38 HMC 150 cameras to choose from but visual jour-nalism students also often request these cameras.

Missing and broken equipment pos-es yet another problem. Junior Hadley Jordan, a visual journalism major, had trouble getting batteries to operate a camera.

�“I went in there on Thursday and I checked out a camera. They said, �‘We don�’t have any batteries for you,�’�” she said. �“In visual journalism, the news happens when it happens. I had to leave my job early to get another battery.�”

Equipment that is broken cannot be rented out to students, which reduces the amount of equipment available to students.

�“Inventory can show we have more available then we do because we may have a new round of broken stuff,�” said

Tod Landess, the production equipment supervisor. �“The common issues are wireless mics that get damaged because students close them in the case or tri-pods that get damaged.�”

However, the SoC is making strides in acquiring more equipment for rental. Each year, the school allocates a certain percentage of its budget to cover the ex-penses of new equipment.

�“We�’ve been adding new equip-ment on a consistent basis,�” said Tom Ortiz, the director of technical opera-tions and engineering for the School of Communication. �“Last budget cycle, I was able to add 20 new HD (high defini-tion) cameras to our fleet.�”

For the past three years, the equip-ment room has been in the process of transitioning to high definition cameras for all disciplines, since this is the di-rection the communications industry is headed in.

�“We�’re in the transition of going from acquiring on tape to acquiring on an SD card,�” Landess said. �“We�’re working on one main fleet. Eventually it will be over 40 [cameras].�”

Broadcast journalism students have not seen this transition due to the stu-dios they currently use. According to Ortiz, the studios only use tape and broadcast students would not be able to use any HD equipment even if the SoC purchased it.

Some, like senior Ryan Aquilina, a motions pictures major, have purchased their own cameras to keep up with the industry.

�“DSLRs are becoming very popular to film with right now,�” he said. �“You see a lot of students buying their own cameras. I have 4 film friends that have their own cameras.�”

Still, Aquilina acknowledges that it is simply not feasible for students to pur-chase all the equipment they need.

�“I still have to go in for sound equipment, for a tri-pod, for lighting,�” he said. �“That�’s something that not all of us can invest in. Tripods can be sev-eral hundred dollars.�”

how many resources were available for me to use

freely on campus and now is when I’m ! nally taking advantage of them. We have so much assistance

here. I feel like the di" erent organizations on campus have helped me make a lot of friends. Because of the relationships I have

April 26 - May 9, 2012 THE MIAMI HURRICANE OPINION 9

As I reminisce about my four years at the University of Mi-

ami, countless memories and lessons learned race through my head.

I didn�’t dream of at-tending UM because I went to elementary and high school less than three miles

from campus. I wanted change and a real �“college experience.�” Now, I truly can�’t imagine myself anywhere else. The life lessons, friends, experi-ences and opportunities I have gained from this university, as well as from its students, faculty and administrators, are absolutely invaluable.

I�’ve studied literature from around the world, and how to be a thorough and ethical journalist. I�’ve run through the sprinklers on the intramural fields in the middle of the night. I�’ve sung the alma mater during Homecoming at the old Rat. I�’ve traveled to Tallahassee to see the Canes defeat the Seminoles. I�’ve seen the Dalai Lama, President Barack Obama and (best of all) Billy Joel walk be-neath our campus�’ palm trees.

But most of all, I can�’t believe how blessed I was to be the editor-in-chief of an award-winning student newspaper, to work three years with an in-credibly talented staff, or to learn the lessons that I have while working at The Miami Hurricane.

None of these incredible memories would have been possible if I remained the unabatedly shy freshman that I was in 2008. But thanks to a memorable summer program called Great Start and the helpful friends I made there, I began to step outside of my comfort zone.

It�’s never too late to make the best of your ex-perience here at UM.

Once you integrate yourself into the Hurri-cane family, college will be a rewarding and mean-ingful experience. Join a student organization that celebrates your culture, serves the community, or helps make UM a better place. Forge relationships with your professors, who can help lead you to a bright future. Embrace the green and orange cul-ture and don�’t feel too cheesy when you cheer for our Hurricanes.

But most importantly: Don�’t be afraid of new experiences or new people.

Thank you to our readers, the phenomenal newspaper staff and our adviser for an amazing college experience at The Miami Hurricane.

Alexa Lopez is a senior majoring in journalism and English literature. She will be a reporting intern at The Miami Herald after graduation. She may be contacted at [email protected].

S chool�’s out and we're now faced

with three months of vacation time. Don't spend the summer stuck at home all day. There are a variety of other options for students.

One way to have a productive

summer is to get a part-time job. Many people don�’t want to work during the sum-mer because they think it may be boring, but work doesn�’t have to be boring.

If you like kids, there are summer

camps that you can work at. Having a little extra money on the side is always a plus.

Internships are another possibility. Although most are unpaid, there are paid internships as well. Regardless, they can be rewarding. Internships look great on re-sumes and many times, help land you that first job after graduation. Networking and hands-on experience are key. Employers like to see that you have experience in the field you're getting into.

Studying abroad or taking summer classes are other ways to keep busy. Study-ing abroad can be a fun and life-changing experience. Many schools offer summer abroad programs where you can spend a few weeks to a month in another country

and immerse yourself in a different culture. In many cases you can also earn college credits.

Summer classes can help you get ahead or catch up. These classes are typi-cally smaller so you are able to get more help from your professor.

If none of these options is your cup of tea, you can always engage in community service. Some scholarships require this for eligibility and it is a good way to help out and make a difference in someone�’s life.

No matter what you do this summer, just make sure that you enjoy it.

A WORD FROM THE EDITOR

Embrace new experiences,

embrace the U

ALEXA LOPEZ

I ran must not get a nuclear weapon. It would completely reshape the power balance in the Middle East

and put the United States in danger.Iranian President Ahmadinejad is

an unstable and vicious tyrant. When his people rebelled against what was thought to be a corrupt electoral vic-tory, Ahmadinejad�’s regime hunted down the protestors and silently killed them and their families. Today there is no dissent in Iran out of fear of certain

death.Since the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Iran has been a

state sponsor of terror. Hezbollah and Hamas, recognized terrorist organizations, have received arms and money from Iran and have carried out attacks against innocent ci-vilians with Iran�’s blessing.

In 1983, Hezbollah bombed a Marines barrack in Bei-rut, Lebanon. Two hundred forty-one Marines died in the attack. Eleven years later, in 1994, Iran directed Hezbollah to bomb a Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Ar-gentina. Eighty-five people died.

More recently, Iran has set up training camps in Amer-ica�’s backyard: Venezuela and Brazil. They have supported insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan who fight against our troops. In October, Iran recruited a Mexican cartel, Los Zetas, in an assassination attempt on the Saudi Ambassa-dor on American soil. Later that week, Iranian proxies set up deadly bombings in India and Georgia.

Iran has sought to weaken democratic states and has killed innocent civilians. Now, Iran is in the process of acquiring nuclear capabilities. However, the world com-munity has almost universally condemned Iran�’s actions. Congress and the European Union have passed crippling sanctions against Iran�’s economy and petrochemical indus-try.

President Obama said that he would not tolerate a nu-clear Iran. I have a lot of faith in you, Mr. President. Don�’t let us down. The consequences would be too grave.

Jordan Lewis is a sophomore majoring in political science. He is the president of the UM Young Democrats.

Iran could put U.S. in danger

The threat of Iran is imminent. Most dismiss the reality that a nuclear-proliferated Iran will be a

real threat to America. It�’s not like they could ever drop the bomb on American soil right? It�’s not an attack on Ameri-can soil that we should fear. It�’s our economic longevity.

Let us think back to December and March when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatened to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. This

would have stifled the world�’s oil supply from Saudi Arabia, Ku-wait, Iraq, Qatar and Bahrain.

The oil coming out of this strait amounts to about 40 per-cent of world sea-borne oil and almost 20 percent of the entire world oil supply. The mere threat to close the strait raised the cost of a barrel of oil by almost a dollar.

When a leader threatens to choke the world of 20 percent of its oil supply, he is not sane. Iran�’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is no less erratic. We cannot allow such irrational leaders to wield nuclear weapons.

Contrary to other nuclear-armed countries like North Ko-rea, Iran would have no check on its power. The United States and many allies across the world agree that Iran is engaging in nefarious activities. The U.S. and the European Union have passed multilateral sanctions against Iran in attempts to get it to halt its quest for nuclear proliferation but to no avail.

I paid $4.04 per gallon at the pump last week. How much will gas be with a nuclear-armed Iran?

A nuclear Iran will create political instability in the Middle East and with instability comes a rise in oil prices. The cost of ev-ery product transported in America is dependent upon oil prices. This is what I am worried about. Not being bombed, but being economically choked.

The United States needs to send Iran a stronger message. Iran must know that if they develop the capability to become nuclear-armed, the United States will retaliate with overwhelm-ing force.

The longevity of our economy depends on it.

12 OPINION THE MIAMI HURRICANE April 26 - May 9, 2012

You've been liv-ing under a rock, oblivious

to MTV�’s existence, but while channel surf-ing you come across �“Music Television�” and get excited about the idea of watching music videos, inter-views with artists, and the inside scoop of the music industry 24

hours a day. What a dream network.But MTV�’s current airing schedule

consists of shows by the name of �“16 and Pregnant," �“Punk�’d" and �“Jersey Shore." MTV�’s original identity has disintegrated in accordance with the reality television craze. As Justin Timberlake said in his 2007 VMA acceptance speech, �“Play more damn videos [MTV].�”

According to the TV Guide listings, in a 12-hour day, MTV airs music-related shows for five hours from 3 to 8 a.m. (because so many people are awake, let alone looking to watch music videos at that hour). What�’s on during the remaining seven hours? Reality television.

In 2008, MTV reached a turning point upon the cancellation of one of its longest run-ning shows, �“Total Request Live.�” �“TRL�”

aired from Monday to Thursday for one hour, showing the top-10 voted music videos and featured special guests. �“TRL�” was one of MTV�’s most signature music-based shows.

Since the end of �“TRL,�” MTV has re-sorted to Snookie and The Situation as its signatures, caving to their outrageous social antics and stereotypical appearances. I hope the executives of MTV feel good about them-selves. It�’s entertaining and revenue boosting, but where�’s the substance, not to mention the music? Other than a laugh, it is detrimental to music and society. The general public has ironically lost touch with reality, forgetting that MTV stands for Music Television. What has Snookie done for the music industry?

The music industry needs a hand and the role of MTV is key to its recovery. There are endless ways MTV could restore its true music-oriented identity and still thrive. Take Timberlake�’s advice and play more videos to support the artists and re-establish MTV�’s reputation. Not only is reality television en-couraging young adults to emulate outra-geous behavior, but its takeover of MTV is contributing to the downward spiral of the music industry. Either formally change the network name to RTV (Reality Television) or bring the music back.

MELANIE KLEINERCONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST

MTV should restore its identity

House music is this generation�’s rock 'n' roll. Get

used to it.Just like the rock

movement, house in-spires a feeling. There is a physical, chemical or emotional reaction to whatever auditory stim-ulus blasts out of nearby speakers.

It�’s that thing that the melodic vocalist in Avicii�’s hit, �“Levels,�” is singing about when she lets everyone know that, �“sometimes, I get a good feeling, yeah.�” The feeling is just as real for this generation as it was for any other gen-eration, drug-induced or not.

House is a movement and it�’s growing. Developing underground during the early 1980s in Chicago, the genre made its way to Europe, penetrated the mainstream, and com-pleted the cross-Atlantic voyage home.

But rock �’n�’ roll traditionalists (those for-ever loyal to the Beatles) resist the impact and existence of the movement.

There is no modern analog to the unifying power of the 1960s sexual revolution, Vietnam, and the civil women�’s rights movements. The

truth is that rock represented youth, freedom and resistance to authority.

However, house music represents some-thing too. Rising to prominence in the early 1980s, only a decade and a half after rock took shape, the genre represented the political voice of black, Latin, and gay youth.

It spread throughout the dance floors of underground New York and Chicago clubs, and with DJs like David Guetta and Tiesto consistently topping popularity polls, the movement has reached full speed.

Why does house or any genre need a rev-olutionary backdrop to be legitimized? Didn�’t the Beatles and Rolling Stones all wish for the day where the music was enough to bring peo-ple together? Isn�’t that day here?

Ultra Music Festival is just one example of how house music manages to bring together diverse crowds without the unifying strength of the war and revolution of the 1960s.

The bottom line is the same: People like this music. House is home now. Skeptics take notice.

Tal Lifshitz is a third-year law student.

Music genre may be this generation’s rock ‘n’ roll

I respect the argu-ment that house music is tanta-

mount to rock �’n�’ roll in the 1960s. The rock �’n�’ roll move-ment fostered the advancement of the civil rights move-ment, the women�’s rights movement, the sexual revolution and

anti-war protest. But in all candor, house music lacks similarly substantive messages.

If house unites the masses under a non-descript feeling, what does that say about who we are as individuals and how the youth identi-fies as a generation? Paul McCartney�’s �“Black-bird�” struck a chord with African-American women suffering from iniquitous oppression.

"Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arrive," he sings. His words con-jured images in the minds of the youth of Rosa Parks and Daisy Bates. He brought people to-gether with a message of empowerment.

Yet, house music reminds today�’s zombie hoard that we have feelings? That�’s deep. Un-like house, rock �’n�’ roll cultivated a movement.

Rock �’n�’ roll altered the fundamental so-cial composition of American society. Con-gress commissioned the Committee on Un-American Activities to combat rock �’n�’ roll�’s effectiveness. In contrast, a film of a girl mak-ing out with a tree at Ultra has gone viral. Back away from that oak.

Rock �’n�’ roll conscientiously crafted coun-terculture. Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert advocated drug use as a way to �“think for your-self and question authority�” whereas Madonna encouraged fans at Ultra to take ecstasy for no reason. I am not advocating drug use, but there is a critical distinction between taking a stand and seeking a thrill.

Humanity has made undeniable progress since Jim Crow and La Leche League, but we are far from utopia. Rock �’n�’ roll facilitated the ability to reduce abstract ideas into articulable goals of equality, peace and love. The abstract aspirations of house music have not material-ized into ascertainable goals.

If house music is the medium then the message must be refined.

Homer Simpson once said that beer is “the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.” There’s no doubt that many students enjoy the occasional brew (or 10), but there’s only so many Natty Ice or Keystone Lights someone can take before it all just begins to pass as water. Thankfully, there are plenty of locations close to campus where students can get good beer without breaking the bank. Even better, many of these places have so much variety that there’s something available for everyone.

When it comes to beer selection, there aren�’t too many places with as much variety as the World of Beer. Located across from Dadeland Mall, the diversity is obvious as soon as you walk in, with the walls of refrigerators categorizing the more than 500 beers by country of origin. World of Beer, which updates its beer selection regu-larly, encourages patrons to become a �“beer legend�” by signing up for their loyalty card, which can be used to gain points for prizes after every dif-ferent kind of beer purchased. Prizes include anything between T-shirts to mugs to plaques, even a party with a $500 bar tab if you get to 500. Weekly happy hour specials include Tuesday night�’s Yappy Hour ($1 for all dog-related beers) and Thursday night�’s ladies night. But the best time to visit is on Wednesday, when all college students and faculty get half off all drafts. With live music playing every Thursday through Saturday, this bar locale is a beer connoisseur�’s play-ground.

World of Beer is located at 9010 SW 72nd Pl., Suite F-101, Miami.

Though not quite as extensive as the other locations on this list, Burger and Beer Joint earns a spot due to both its selection of beer and pairings with great burgers. With two locations, one in Brickell and the other in Miami Beach, B&B offers 99 different beers in-cluding some more well-known brews (Yeungling, Guinness, New Castle) to some more interesting, lesser-known selections (Golden Monkey, Red Brick Blonde). The selection is diverse enough so that you won�’t get bored anytime soon. With all the beer and burgers you could ask for (and you can draw on the tables), B&B warrants a visit next time you�’re looking to reward your palate.

Burger and Beer Joint is located at 1766 Bay Road, Miami Beach, and at 900 S. Miami Ave. in the Brickell area.

The Epcot theme park at Walt Disney World in Orlando is inter-esting in that it offers guests the op-portunity to go around several dif-ferent countries and �“Drink Around the World.�” Although this location certainly lacks mice and rides, the Democratic Republic of Beer is just as worldly. With more than 500 beers from 69 different countries, the exten-sive menu is updated weekly, making it a challenge to even make a dent in it. DRB even offers a passport you can apply for which keeps track of every-thing you�’ve drank, with badges and different prizes based off several differ-ent drinking criteria.

DRB is located at 255 NE 14th St., Miami.

It�’s hard to imagine that beer enthusiasts wouldn�’t find something they enjoy here. Sporting more than 140 different beers, Yard House is great for both the experienced beer drinker and those looking to find something they like. It�’s difficult not to be impressed walking by the bar area and realizing it�’s surrounded by different drafts. The staff is well-educated and the menu offers descrip-tions categorizing what kind of beer you are selecting from (ambers, pale ales, craft beers) and what kind of fla-vor to expect. For those overwhelmed by the choices, Yard House makes it a little easier by offering a sampler plate of six different beers, selected each day by the staff, to give patrons a few different tastes. Though kind of pricy during regular hours, happy hour is the best time to visit, with great dis-counts on all serving sizes. If you�’re feeling adventurous, purchase the half-yard, a foot-and-a-half tall glass of your favorite brew. Just don�’t try chugging it (or do).

Yard House is located at 320 San Lorenzo Ave., Coral Gables.

BAR SCENE

There is no denying that a craft beer trend is brewing in Miami.

Since the �‘70s, beer drinkers in the United States have started to give up mass-produced favorites from Anheuser-Busch and the Miller Brewing Company for new tastes by Ameri-can-bred craft breweries, from Dogfish Head to Magic Hat.

Now, Miami is home to a handful of microbreweries, which offer new tastes of the token college beverage.

�“It sort of engages people in the spirit of the city. People can make their beers as unique a flavor as Miami,�” said Jason Lecker, a Uni-versity of Miami graduate student. �“When you drink Anheuser-Busch or Miller, you�’re getting something that�’s marketed to the com-mon denominator.�”

One local microbrewery is Titanic Res-taurant and Brewery down the block from the UM�’s Coral Gables campus.

�“The beer culture is blowing up right now,�” said Brackie Bryant, one of Titanic�’s general managers. �“The creativity is through the roof and the sky�’s the limit now. Craft beers are becoming the forefront in Miami.�”

Titanic is a brewpub, which means that the beer brewed in-house must only be sold on its property. Every month, Titanic brews six kinds of beer, which are offered on draft.

But some local microbreweries are seek-ing to spread their creations beyond their bre-whouses. Before 2001, Florida breweries were wary of mass-producing their beer because of strict Florida laws, including one that restricted beer packaging to 8-, 12-, 16- or 32-ounce bot-tles, according to the Broward Palm Beach New Times. Craft breweries, however, are known for oddly-sized bottles, like the 22-ounce �“bomber.�”

Now, however, microbreweries are pop-ping up across Florida.

�“Florida is at the beginning end of the curve of a craft beer renaissance,�” said David Kristen, the marketing chairman of the Miami Area Society of Homebrewers (MASH).

For example, Schnebly�’s Winery and Brewery in Homestead is the first microbrewery in South Florida to start distributing wholesale.

Schnebly�’s offers ales and lagers infused with starfruit, mango, guava, passion fruit and coconut, which are all grown on the property.

�“Everything we grow, we�’re going to make some beer with it,�” said Peter Schnebly, co-owner of Schnebly�’s. �“We�’re going to have fun with it.�”

Soon to join Schnebly�’s in the production microbrewery business is Wynwood Brewing Company, which is in the planning process.

Founder Luis Brignoni said that he�’s been dreaming about opening a brewery since col-lege, when he didn�’t want to drink �“cheap yel-low fizzy beer,�” and instead �“wanted something good with the money I had available.�”

Brignoni said he thinks the craft beer movement has been �“a long time coming and now it�’s just more noticeable.�”

�“Before you had to go to specific places to get craft beers," Brignoni said. "Now it seems like any reputable establishment is carrying at least a small portfolio of craft beers. I truly believe Miami has in it to be a great craft beer town and I�’m looking forward to it.�”

While the wave of Miami microbrewer-ies slowly develops, many local residents have been building breweries in their own homes.

�“The previous accessibility to good beer, or lack thereof, led to a lot of homebrewers cre-ating their own suds, which in my view has re-ally fueled the current local beer culture we see today,�” said Brignoni, who started homebrew-ing in college.

For example, Kirsten, who graduated with his bachelor�’s and master�’s degrees from UM, brews 5-gallon batches in kegs. The whole pro-cess takes between three weeks and a month.

The members of MASH, including Kirst-en, experiment with their brews. According to Kirsten, they have used spices, wood, chocolate and peppers in their beer concoctions.

Kirsten�’s favorite beer creation so far is his last batch of beer, a dark stout aged in an old oak whiskey barrel.

�“The joy about craft beer is that you�’re not

being told what beer to like. It�’s about creating and experiencing the entire spectrum of fla-vor,�” said Kirsten, who said he used to drink whatever cheap beer was available when he was at UM. �“But students today are being ex-posed to more than I had the opportunity to be.�”

SPORTSBASEBALL

The University of Miami baseball team came into Tuesday night�’s matchup against Florida Atlantic University needing a win in the worst way. The previous weekend saw the Hurricanes lose three straight games to in-state rival Florida State up in Tallahassee, causing Miami to plummet in the polls.

Apparently Javi Salas got the memo. Miami�’s midweek starter was brilliant during his six innings of work versus the Owls, sur-rendering one earned run while recording a career-high 10 strikeouts in a 3-1 victory.

�“I�’ve never really been a strikeout pitcher at all in any level in my life, I�’m more of a contact guy,�” Salas said. �“The strikeouts are welcomed. I�’m not really used to doing that.�”

Miami (27-14, 12-9 ACC) needed Salas to be dominant. The Hurricanes lineup is de-

pleted at the moment due to a variety of in-juries. Regulars like Peter O�’Brien, Esteban Tresgallo, Jarred Mederos and Dale Carey, who recently got his wisdom teeth pulled, were all on the bench on Tuesday.

In the top of the first inning Salas surren-dered a leadoff single to Mike Abaledeja, and then struck out the next two batters. But Corey Keller laced a single to right field in front of Julian Santos, who threw home but was cut off by Tyler Palmer, with the relay throw com-ing late to catcher Garrett Kennedy. The Owls took an early 1-0 lead, but it would be their only run of the game.

With the Hurricanes as banged up as they were, Alex San Jaun stepped to the plate to lead off the third inning in what was only his third at bat of the season, and he made it count.

The junior hit an Austin Gomber fastball just past the diving reach of third baseman Kyle Newton for a double, the Hurricanes�’ first hit of the night. A Garret Kennedy sac bunt moved San Jaun to third.

Tyler Palmer then hit a weak, high-

bouncing groundball to shortstop Mitch Mo-rales. San Jaun charged home on contact. Morales�’ throw to catcher Mike Spano beat the slow running Saun Juan, but he some-how managed to angle his body away from Spano�’s tag, touching home safely to tie the ballgame 1-1.

San Jaun pumped his fists emphatically after home plate umpire Olinda Mattia sig-naled that he was safe. It was the first time San Jaun was on the base paths all season, and the unlikely source of production brought a sense of calm to a struggling Miami offense.

In the bottom of the fourth with one out, Rony Rodriguez hit a groundball double down the left field line. Michael Broad hit what looked to be a potential home run, but the high fly ball drifted just wide of the left field foul pole, and he ended up striking out. But Brad Fieger came up with a clutch double to right field that scored Rodriguez and gave Miami a 2-1 lead.

�“I think today we had a great defensive outing, but we also had key hits,�” Salas said of his teammates. �“Against Florida State we

really couldn�’t get that big hit.�”Fieger�’s RBI double would prove to be

the difference for the Hurricanes. After Salas exited the game, Christian Diaz pitched a per-fect seventh inning, and Miami used a combi-nation of Diaz, Eric Nedeljkovic and AJ Sal-cines to navigate through the eighth.

Broad, who narrowly missed home runs twice earlier in the night, provided some in-surance for Miami�’s bullpen in the bottom of the eighth when he connected for a solo shot to left field, one that hit the palm trees on the football team�’s Green Tree Practice Fields.

Fittingly enough, in a game that saw sol-id, fundamental defense from the Hurricanes, Julian Santos ended the night by making a spectacular diving catch in right field with two outs in the top of the ninth to end the game and secure the victory. Salcines earned his third save of the season.

Miami must now try to improve its ACC record after last weekend�’s disappoint-ing showing against the Seminoles. Virginia will visit Coral Gables over the weekend for a three-game series.

The loss of starting catcher Peter O�’Brien has not helped the Hurricanes�’ cause at all. Since losing him to a hand injury after being plunked with a pitch against Virginia Tech two weeks ago, Miami�’s offense has scored more than three runs just once and looks to find an of-fensive spark. For Virginia, catcher Nate Irving enters the weekend hitting .282 with 29 RBIs.

Infielder Esteban Tresgallo, after a hot start to begin the season, has cooled down over the past few weeks. After sitting on Tuesday night, it is unclear whether he was taken out for precautionary measures or if there is a lingering injury. If that�’s the case, Tyler Palmer will likely make the shift to first base again. The defense in the infield is the biggest liability, especially if Tresgallo does play, as he and shortstop Stephen Perez have combined for 25 errors this season.

So far this season, the Hurricanes have been a tale of two teams. When they�’re on their game, they show how they are one of the tougher teams to take down on a nightly basis in all of college baseball. But the team has as many valleys as it does peaks, and is trying to find its groove once more after losing five of the last eight games.

Going off of Tuesday night�’s starting lineups, this is a Hurricane team that has been decimated by injuries over the past few games. With Dale Carey sitting against FAU, the out-field was relegated between Chantz Mack, Julian Santos and Rony Rodriguez. Mack didn�’t have a hit against the Owls, but has been hitting well since the series against North Carolina, picking up 11 RBI since then.

The Hurricanes�’ starting pitching has had a few hiccups every few games, but overall they are the strongest part of this team and continue to give keep the offense in games with the chance to win. After a rough series against FSU last weekend, the rotation will look to rebound this weekend. The bullpen, which has struggled against top-tier teams this season, also will need to rebound from Sunday�’s extra-inning loss to the Seminoles.

April 26 - May 9, 2012 THE MIAMI HURRICANE SPORTS 17

The University of Miami club baseball coach, Mike North, has instilled in his play-ers a ritual he views as absolutely necessary to both the success and the morale of his team.

And it couldn�’t have less to do with baseball.

�“He demands to go to Hooters on ev-ery road trip in the name of tradition,�” for-mer club president Robbie Shiver remem-bers. �“No matter how inconvenient it was, and how little everyone else wanted to go, we always ended up there.�”

�“We celebrated in Melbourne at Hoot-ers after sweeping Florida Tech,�” North recalls wryly. �“But it was more commis-eration in Tallahassee after dropping some close, hard-fought games to Florida State.�”

However, be-tween the lines, North is far from a reflection of his favorite road-trip watering hole. The former Penn State pitcher and UM grad carries much more experience than a typical club sport coach. His club coaching days began only after he had served as the director of baseball operations at Daytona State College, where he says he �“earned his master�’s in baseball.�”

It was that opportunity that allowed him to lead a UM club team that he re-members �“had not won a total of 10 games in three years�” to 11 wins in his first year calling the shots.

This season the team sits at 10-6 with series against the University of Florida and Florida International University remain-ing. North is still hopeful about a playoff berth.

�“We need to win all our upcoming games and probably get a little help from other teams, but we are definitely still alive,�” he said.

UM has swept the season series against Florida Tech, has won three out of

four games against FIU and has even beat-en the University of Central Florida, which figures to be ranked in the top 25 by year�’s end. North�’s influence on the winning sea-son has not been lost on the team.

Ryan Solow, the club�’s current presi-dent, worked closely with North all year after convincing him to return to coaching after a one-year hiatus.

�“He knows how to communicate baseball to a group of college kids who all have their own ideas about how to play the game,�” he said. �“He perfectly straddles that line between coach, friend and mentor.�”

Solow credits North for the progress of the pitching staff in particular.

�“Our pitchers have won a number of Conference Pitcher of the Week awards, and our staff is up there with the nation�’s leaders in innings pitched,�” he said.

Solow and Shiver agree that if not for their coach�’s steady leadership and fairness in observation of the game, the club�’s vast improvement would not be reflected in the win column.

�“I really like coaching this team because they want to be great so bad-ly,�” North said. �“Everyone hates losing more than they like winning. That�’s why Sunday losses to FSU are so tough; nobody likes driving eight hours home in a baseball uniform after a loss.�”

As for the future of the club, North plans to be ambitious in trying to schedule the best competition available.

UM is part of the National Club Base-ball Association, which includes teams from more than 100 colleges and universi-ties across the country.

The competition level of the NCBA is comparable to that of Division II and III college programs.

UM is in the NCBA�’s South Atlantic Conference �– South with state rivals Flori-da Tech, University of Central Florida, UF and FSU.

North says he has begun talks with various varsity junior college and Division II schools for games in the fall.

�“If you want to beat the best, do what they do,�” North said.

Miami football head coach Al Golden spent a few moments discussing the direction of the program heading into the summer.

Speaking to media members via telecon-ference on Wednesday, Golden brushed on topics including the status of junior quarter-back Stephen Morris, players who made an impression on him during the spring, and what will happen once the remaining incom-ing freshmen make their way to campus.

�“Clearly, we have an infusion of young talent coming in a large group that�’s going to create some competition and certainly has at certain areas already,�” he said. �“We�’re excit-ed about that.�”

Arguably one of the bigger storylines heading into spring camp was the situation at the quarterback position. With Morris not participating due to injury, the duties were split between transfer Ryan Williams and freshmen Gray Crow and Preston Dewey.

While Morris has not fully recovered from back surgery just yet, according to Gold-en, it�’s only a matter of time.

�“I think he�’s throwing and everything now. So I think it�’s not going to be for too long,�” he said. �“I don�’t know exactly when he�’s going to get the absolute green light to do everything, but it�’s not going to be very long now because he�’s already pushing it.�”

Throughout the spring scrimmages and the Spring Game, the overall theme was the way the defense dominated against the Canes�’ offense. Though there were individu-als who stood out (Golden noted sophomore receiver Rashawn Scott and junior tight end Asante Cleveland, among others) there are

still areas of concern, namely at the receiver and cornerback spots.

�“I think no one would be satisfied with our wide receiver situation in the spring just by numbers specifically. There have to be some guys who come in and help us out there,�” Golden said. �“I�’m not trying to dimin-ish what the kids that were there did. It was just a huge task for minimal players asking three or four wideouts to carry a load for a group that had 10 in it. Same thing at corner.�”

The big news that everyone is awaiting is the ruling by the NCAA on the Nevin Shap-iro scandal that struck the program just weeks before the 2011 season. Though there�’s been no update over the past few months, it is ex-pected that the ruling should be announced sometime over the summer, and certainly be-fore the start of the season.

Generally, cases such as these take about a year for the NCAA to finish the investiga-tion and mull it over before making a ruling. The University of North Carolina, which found itself under accusations of academic fraud, association with sports agents and lack of institutional control in June 2010, had its penalty laid out in March.

Though it is not expected to take quite as long in this case, there is ultimately no time table as to when any word should be expect-ed.

With so many players graduating and leaving for the NFL draft, Golden admitted that the Canes were light at some positions during the spring. But with the incoming freshmen arriving on campus soon, a starting spot in the spring won�’t guarantee one once the games actually count.

�“Just because your competition may not be in this room, just understand that he�’s coming,�” Golden said. �“I believe that we did recruit well. I�’m very pleased with the 10 that are here now, and I�’ll be anxious to see the next wave that comes in.�”

April 26 - May 9, 2012 THE MIAMI HURRICANE DEAR V 19

dear ...Dear V: Our sexual passion is just out of fashion...

,

The love is gone. Or at least it feels like it is. My boyfriend and I just don�’t have as much sex as we once did when the relationship first started. It�’s not like I ask him and he tells me no, but it�’s just that the passion and desire are gone when we do make love. What happened? How do I fix this?

Signed,

Cleaning out the cobwebs

Dear Old Married Couple,

What is wrong with you two!? You�’re in your sexual prime. You should be going at it like rabbits at least once or twice a day! The time you wasted writing to me could have been used making sweet, sweet love.

In all honesty, of course this is going to happen. What�’s new at the beginning is exciting. But what was once exciting becomes routine and boring. Not that I�’m saying sex between you two puts him to sleep (although it may), but your sex life can go stale if you don�’t keep spicing it up every once in a while.

Try a new position. And I don�’t mean, �“Well we usually do missionary, but tonight we can try doggie or me on top.�” I mean bent over the sofa, hanging onto the shower rod, sitting on top of the washing machine, tickling the keys on a piano while he tickles your ... kind of positions! Get creative!

Sometimes people in relationships just get so used to having sex that it becomes commonplace. The thrill

of the hunt and anticipation of bedroom recreation no longer exists. But it doesn�’t have to go away!

Send a saucy text during the day that tells him exactly what you want to do to him later ... without saying what it is. You know what I�’m talking about. That pretend-innocence that all females have. Use it, girl! Just don�’t be sending any pictures you don�’t want a future employer to potentially see. Besides, you don�’t want to give it all away in a poorly-lit, pixelated phone photo. The tease of it will really bring back some excitement.

Don�’t stress it. If you worry about how little sex you�’re getting, you�’re headed for a vicious circle. Nothing will put you or your boyfriend less in the mood than complaining about how you aren�’t getting any.

Now off to the Health Center for enough free condoms to get you through an entire night of nonstop pleasure!
