Pi Kappa Alpha under investigation

The University of Miami�’s chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha, Gamma Omega, was recently issued a cease and desist order by university administrators.

Pike president Harrison Potak maintains the fraternity�’s innocence.

�“These are just allegations,�” he said. �“No charges have been filed.�”

According to anonymous students, the rumors circulating involve Pike brothers spiking the punch with drugs.

�“I�’ve heard a lot of people blacked out from the punch at one of their par-ties,�” said a junior who wished to re-main anonymous. �“Pike probably put Xanax in the drinks they were serving. Everyone knows Xanax will make you black out.�”

Scholarship funds studying abroad

Senior Gaurav Dhiman, a recipient of the Benjamin A. Gilman International Schol-arship, traveled to India last spring to conduct research on tuberculosis.

The scholarship, which is awarded to low-income students through the University of Mary-land, the U.S. State Department and the Institute of Interna-tional Education, gives students the economic means to travel abroad to an area where they can receive academic credit.

�“Gaurav had high academ-ic achievements and wanted to study in a non-traditional coun-try,�” said Kefryn Reese, director of the UM Prestigious Awards and Fellowships Office. �“These are things the Gilman scholar-ship recognizes.�”

Dhiman, whose family lives in northern India, chose Manali because he knew the language and a public health course was offered, he said.

As a student on the pre-med track, he wanted to study some-thing related to his field.

In May, Dhiman was out of the country for the first time in his life while he was given the opportunity of taking classes and researching the health sys-tem in Manali, India.

�“It wasn�’t even a class per se,�” Dhiman said. �“We had

about an hour of class time each day, but we were mostly in the field. We did a lot of research finding hot spots of tuberculo-sis by mapping the clusters of tuberculosis of current and past patients.�”

Dhiman also had a first-hand account of what the pub-lic health system is like in third world cities, such as Manali.

�“There is no such thing as privacy there, so you follow doctors on their rounds as they talk to patients who are still recovering,�” Dhiman said. �“It is cool because you get to see things that you wouldn�’t be able to see in the U.S. unless you were an actual doctor.�”

This is because doctors do not have the time to fill out pri-vacy forms in the U.S., Dhiman said.

�“The hospital served about 50 to 60 thousand people and there are six doctors there,�” Dhiman said. �“The doctors would see about 70 patients a day.�”

When he was done with his classes each day, Dhiman said he would explore the city and interact with the people who lived there.

Living in Manali allowed him to experience the local resi-dents�’ culture, he said. He en-courages all students to study abroad.

�“It�’s a lot of fun to live there and experience the culture of the city you are living in," Dhi-man said. �“Everyone should study abroad, even if it is just two weeks or a semester.�”

Sept. 12 - Sept. 14, 2011 THE MIAMI HURRICANE NEWS 3

A hurricane will hit the University of Miami when the Uragano pizza truck, named for the Italian word for hurricane, arrives on campus at the end of October.

Recognizing the need for a pizza eat-ery on campus after the Rathskeller took over the former location of Sbarro, the UM Department of Dining Services worked with Chartwells to launch a pizza truck.

�“[The pizza truck] has been built ex-pressly for Chartwells,�” said Sandra Red-way, the executive director of business services. �“There is a pizza oven on board.�”

The Uragano will feature freshly made whole wheat and traditional dough as well as mozzarella. Customers will have the option of 10 different types of piz-za such as margherita, BBQ chicken and Caesar salad.

There will also be a pizza named ex-clusively for the university called, �“The U Bomb,�” which consists of bacon, sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, peppers, onion and mozzarella.

In addition to pizza, The Uragano will serve hero sandwiches.

When the truck arrives in late Oc-tober, it will run from Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and on the week-ends 4 to 11 p.m.

�“I think it will be a great addition to campus to have access to fresh pizza on a regular basis,�” freshman Brynn Freeland said.

The truck will be found in differ-ent spots around campus like the Rock, McLamore Plaza, the School of Nursing and School of Communication Parking Lot, the UV, and the Hecht-Stanford and Mahoney Pearson Residence Halls.

Students will also be able to commu-nicate with the truck to get it to move to a certain hot spot.

�“The beauty of this is that the stu-dents will be able to tweet the truck once it comes to campus,�” said Redway. �“We will know the heavy areas and the truck can be moved there.�”

Others refuse to believe such rumors.�“I�’ve been going to Pike events since

freshman year and there has never been any issue with the punch; in fact, they usu-ally make the punch out in the open where everyone can see,�” sophomore Mahtab Fo-rouzandeh said. �“Anyone who is claiming there is something in the punch is obviously immature and doesn�’t know their drinking limit. Also, the Pike brothers drink from the same punch bowl as the party goers, so the cease and desist drama has resulted from a naive girl who simply drank more than she could handle.�”

Potak also denies the rumors.�“Those rumors are entirely false and

have nothing to do with the allegations,�” Potak said.

Many Panhellenic organizations are encouraging their members to refrain from speaking about the events and spreading speculation.

�“I was at a Panhellenic meeting today and we were personally asked not to discuss these matters if we really don�’t know about it,�” said a member of an on-campus sorority who wished to remain anonymous. �“There is nothing at this point suggesting that any-thing was drugged.�”

For now, Pike has been issued a cease and desist order which requires them to dis-continue all activities, including intramural sports, mixers and philanthropic events. As of Sunday, charges had yet to be filed against the fraternity.

In the past 10 years, Pike has been in-vestigated twice by the university.

According to a 2005 article in The Mi-ami Hurricane, the fraternity was suspend-ed for 30 days in March of that year because of alleged violations of the international fraternity policy and the university code of conduct, as well as financial delinquency to the national fraternity. In 2009, Pike was again under investigation because of an un-registered event that took place at a private residence.

In both cases, the fraternity was rein-stated.

UM responds to allegations against Pike

The University of Miami Under-graduate Honor Council plans to project a stronger presence on campus this year to highlight the importance of academic integrity.

Founded in the spring of 1986 af-ter students voted in favor of a Student Government initiative, the student-run council consists of 29 representatives who are responsible for holding hearings of al-leged violations of the university�’s Honor Code.

The council has investigated more than 450 cases in the past 25 years, but Honor Council President Renata Bap-tista has recently noticed fewer cases in comparison to three years ago, when she first joined. The cases that have been ad-judicated typically result in disciplinary probation or warnings. Thirty-three per-cent of the investigations have resulted in suspension, five percent in expulsion and 62 percent in disciplinary action or warn-ings.

While the majority of universities in the U.S. have honor codes and honor councils similar to UM�’s, cheating is still a problem on college campuses. Accord-

ing to a survey conducted by the Joseph-son Institute Center for Youth Ethics, 59.3 percent of students across the country have cheated on a test at least once; one in three has cheated at least twice in the past year.

Fifty percent of students did not be-lieve that cheating was necessarily wrong, according to a recent survey by Who�’s Who Among American High School Stu-dents.

The University of Central Florida recently experienced a cheating scandal last November in the College of Business. Professor Richard Quinn discovered that at least one-third of his students had cheated on an exam, according to Knight News, the campus newspaper. The num-ber of cases UCF�’s Office of Student Con-duct has seen in recent years is drastically higher than UM�’s statistics. The total incident reports processed in the 2011 spring semester alone was 597, more than UM has investigated in the past 25 years. In the fall semester of 2010, UCF received 777 incident reports, most likely a result of the cheating scandal in November.

�“It�’s scary to me that so many people are nonchalant about the whole thing,�” Baptista said. �“If you don�’t have integ-rity now, you�’ll have a weak character for your whole life.�”

Although the cheating on UM�’s campus hasn�’t reached such an extreme, members of the council still want stu-

dents to realize the importance of aca-demic honesty.

�“This year we want to develop a dia-logue with the UM community,�” Baptista said. �“We want to be here for them; we�’re not out to get them. We�’re more involved on campus this year so we can spread our message.�”

The council co-sponsored �“PostSe-cret Live�” on Tuesday, and will co-spon-sor CNN anchor and special correspon-dent Soledad O�’Brien�’s appearance on Monday. It is also moving up its annual event, Academic Integrity Week, toward the beginning of spring semester to spread the council�’s message before midterms.

�“We have members of the Wellness Center attend A.I. Week to show students several techniques they can use to deal with stress,�” Baptista said. �“We also have the Writing Center bring materials to show students how to properly cite.�”

These resources could prove benefi-cial considering plagiarism is one of the most common problems the council deals with, since many students fail to cite properly, Baptista said.

While UM provides students with numerous resources, some students do not take advantage of these opportunities.

�“We�’re hoping our involvement will raise awareness of the importance for aca-demic integrity,�” Baptista said. �“There are many helpful organizations on cam-pus students can use to avoid [cheating].�”

Life science park offers Health and Resource Fair

But entry-level positions are avail-able in clerical work that only ask for high school diplomas,�” said the senior recruiter for nursing, Connie Bailey.

Bailey was not impressed with the event�’s turnout.

�“We are here for the community but the community hasn�’t really showed up,�” she said. �“There was a rush at one point, but we haven�’t gotten what we intended for.�”

The executive director of the LSTP, Marcelo Radice, felt differently and said, �“there was a steady f low of people the en-tire time.�”

�“Although we called it a Health and Resource Fair, most people came looking for the jobs,�” Radice said. �“Today�’s pur-pose was also to announce to the commu-nity that we are opening next week.�”

Miami-Dade College nursing students informed attendees about the signs of breast and lung cancer and taught children the importance of washing their hands. The nurses also administered blood tests.

Several residents were happy to re-ceive the medical attention.

�“I�’m glad I came here; I can�’t even re-member the last time I got a regular check-up,�” said Antoine Lindor, an Overtown resident.

An email was sent to residents listed

on an Overtown community mailing list to spread awareness about the event.

�“I�’m glad I came to get the blood pres-sure and cholesterol screenings I needed,�” said Sharena Bennet, a Liberty City resi-dent, who attended the event because of the email. �“I wish more people would�’ve known to come out.�”

Snacks and beverages were given, as well as UM paraphernalia, like drawstring backpacks and pens.

Fiorella Melendez, a student at Mi-ami-Dade College�’s Kendall campus, came for the health screenings, but was happy to find out about the job openings.

�“I am definitely going to apply to be a physician�’s assistant,�” she said. �“I had to

bring my son along today so I was happy to see how well the event was catered to the kids. The coloring books kept him enter-tained and it was nice that they also edu-cated him about health.�”

Additionally, members from the Cre-ative Praise Ministries in Overtown spoke to women at the event about empower-ment.

The organization encourages women in Overtown and the surrounding area to find confidence through the motto, �“I am valuable.�” The church also has support groups for men and children.

The LSTP will officially open on Sept. 20. Check out umlsp.com for more information and upcoming events.

days where we get im-mensely frus-trated at our phones, and want to chuck it against the wall, not car-ing about the consequences.

That describes my relationship with my phone, but a few weeks ago my phone was acting completely crazy and coincidently caused me to dis-cover something new: a Facebook phonebook.

Wait, a Facebook phonebook? Yes, that�’s right. In addition to my regular contacts, some of whom I

never talk to anyway, I had an ad-ditional contact list with 200 people (or possibly more) that I never even met. Their numbers were at my dis-posal. I was pretty amazed at this neat feature on my tiny Android phone. I never had to ask these people for their numbers; all I had to do was type in their name and I could send them an impromptu text whenever I wanted.

As much as I found this new technology intriguing, I also found it creepy. It made me think about not only the privacy settings of Facebook, but how we collectively as users give out too much informa-tion in the first place. Some users fill out every single box and section social networking sites ask for; pro-viding everything from their favor-ite colors to their full addresses and

phone numbers. It seems like no one thinks about what Facebook could do with all of this information, or who else could just steal any of this information with their own intent.

Yes, a Facebook phonebook may seem like a breach in privacy controls on the creators of Face-book�’s behalf, but what about our duties as users to protect ourselves and not engage ourselves in sticky situations? We hear about these horror stories with unsuspecting girls getting raped because they put to much info on Facebook and say, �“Yeah, I�’ll never be that person.�”

But do we really take the time to see the access we allow others to have of our own lives?

South Florida is going the extra mile to curb reckless driving.

The number of red light cameras is set to triple in Miami-Dade County. This means that out of the original 100 cameras installed within 21 of the total 35 incorporated cities of Miami-Dade County, 200 more cameras will be installed, and more installa-tions are potentially set to follow.

While drivers in Miami may have questionable skills, the implementation of these cameras may not be such a good idea.

Many people tend to speed when they see a yel-low light. According to The Miami Herald, the cam-eras installed at the streetlights work together; while one camera keeps its eye on the light to change, the other captures video footage and photo images of the �“red-light runner.�” The Herald also stated that �“When the first camera �‘sees�’ the light change to yel-low, and sensors embedded in the road detect a car still moving toward the intersection, the cameras start snapping images.�”

Since these cameras are designed to take snap-shots of cars speeding by yellow lights, it means many drivers will slam on the breaks to avoid getting a tick-et. If the drivers behind them are caught by surprise, it doesn�’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what happens next. However, it�’s not only drivers that lose in this situation.

�“Judges dropped many of the tickets that drivers challenged,�” The Miami Herald recently reported. �“Cities had to take police officers off the streets to review videotapes for the citations. Costs were unex-pectedly high; the return was unexpectedly low.�”

As a result, several cities contemplated ditching the cameras altogether; Hialeah rid of theirs in June. Clearly, red light cameras come at a high cost.

The policies themselves also include several gray areas. Yes, you get a ticket, but what happens when you�’re trying to make a left turn and get stuck behind another car? If the car before yours waits too long to turn, and you get stuck in the middle of the intersection, do you get a ticket �– or do they?

These cameras might be a good idea in theory, but there are definitely issues that need to be paved out. Are these cameras even worth the cost?

Repeat offenders are not penalized more than first-time offenders; the fines don�’t increase in amount, and no points are awarded to their driving record. If there were a way to further penalize driv-ers, it would discourage others from consistently speeding past these lights. In the meantime, the out-come will be more dented bumpers.

Editorials represent the majority view of The Miami Hur-ricane editorial board.

Dignity is something that is slowly earned, yet easily taken away.

Sept. 12 - Sept. 14, 2011 THE MIAMI HURRICANE OPINION 7

We live in a w o r l d

that places high expec-tations and even higher demands on its inhabit-ants. Whether you�’re a plant, an animal, or even a single-

celled organism, you still need to maintain stable amounts of vital re-sources. For simple creatures (if you wish to call them that), those needs primarily include water, nutrients and shelter. Humans need more than that.

Society places certain demands on us that go above and beyond our individual survival. We need ab-stract concepts like altruism (help-ing others genuinely), accountability and self-control to help us coexist and improve the lives of others. Only the internalization of these concepts, in my opinion, creates a valid sense of what�’s right and what�’s wrong.

But, there�’s a twist. How can you tell the difference between some-thing morally just and something

completely unjustified? There are always moral institutions (which, in themselves by default, are corrupt), such as religious and political ide-ologies, that can provide the foun-dation for an internal morality. But, true morality has to be honed from within. In other words, we have to do the work for ourselves individu-ally.

How would we go about it, though? Usually, we learn from con-ditioning and trial-and-error. For the more complex concepts, like ac-countability, we learn from shifting perspective from our own to that of the other affected party. And, often enough, the specifics of absolute and relative rights and wrongs lie in the details of our actions.

Albert Einstein once said he re-fused to believe in a God that pun-ished his creations and went on to call that image of God the product of human frailty. Divine reward is pointless, in my opinion, because the motive behind saying or doing something is just as important, if not more, than the action itself and has consequences that affect real things in the real world.

Do you feel like you�’re about to do something that feels wrong?

Do you think you�’ll regret it later because it involves another person? Don�’t do it.

Often, the sex question creates moral boundaries. I like the idea of sex for pleasure, but I also agree that the other person�’s consent and prop-er protection is necessary.

If you see that drunk girl at the bar, don�’t take advantage of her even if you are drunk. It violates her dig-nity and destroys your honor. How-ever, I do approve of consensual relations. What couples do within the confines of a relationship is com-pletely their decision and nobody has the right to interfere with it.

The true test, though, is owning up to and taking responsibility for past mistakes. You need to scruti-nize yourself or else society will rain down mercilessly on your errors. It can be as simple as apologizing in person for something and true char-acter, especially unmotivated by re-ward, often gets rewarded.

Don�’t sweat the small stuff, but always make sure to watch yourself. Dignity is something that is slowly earned, yet easily taken away.

I recently came across a phrase that has been unable to leave my mind: �“Buying under the inf luence.�”

We have all been schooled on driving under the inf luence, but are we aware of the real dangers of buy-ing under the inf luence?

This secret hazard to the women of society should have a penalty, but who is to stop us?

As fall season emerges it is only likely that we will go from store to store in a haze of grabbing trendy

items, leaving the mall drunk on fashion.Last May, I had my first experience of buying under

the inf luence. I stepped into one of my favorite boutiques and scouted an awesome pair of Jeffrey Campbell limited edition shoes. The platform was made out of wood and they were a solid six inches high. As I pranced around the store in these Gaga-inspired heels, I started to say to myself in a fashion-slur.

�“You need these. Of course, they aren�’t too high. If Gaga can walk in them, why can�’t you? Just get them; they are only $175. Just do it!�”.

With more than a casual dent in my pocket, I walked out of the boutique completely intoxicated by my pur-chases.

In addition to the heels, I acquired a pair of ripped, dark green shorts that my mother calls the �“swamp shorts�” and refuses to let me out of the house while wear-ing them. My last offense was a bright green ring the size of my hand that looks like I belong in the cast of �“Wicked.�”

Who was to stop me when my credit card level reached its max the same way an intoxicated person�’s blood alcohol level reaches a 0.08? Unfortunately, there is no secret police that pops out of stores and cuffs you (as much as I would like there to be).

Once I calmed down from my �“shopping high,�” I discovered the worst part of this silent addiction. I had just spent money on ridiculous items that I convinced myself I needed because they were too awesome to leave.

Although I would not define myself as a shopaholic, and you may not define yourself as one either, I felt it was appropriate to warn you that there is a way to prevent yourself from falling victim like I did.

So, here is my list of helpful tips to guide you on what you should do in case a sudden instance of shopa-holism takes you over:

1. Take a deep breath.2. Ask yourself, �“Do I really need this?�” Really

think in depth on this one. Do you have something like it already? What purpose would it serve in your closet?

3. If your answer to the previous question is no, im-mediately step away. Leave the store if you have to.

And finally, always and I mean ALWAYS, go shop-ping with a friend. It is important to have the guidance of someone you trust in order to stop yourself from over-in-dulging �… that is if they are not a shopaholic themselves.

Sept. 12 - Sept. 14, 2011 THE MIAMI HURRICANE EDGE 9

From the Adrienne Arsht Center to Tamiami Park, UM foodies scour the city in hopes of finding the latest round up of food truck frenzy. This Thursday, the search is over when more than 15 of Miami�’s most raved-about trucks prepare to park along Stanford Circle and offer everything from bacon-wrapped hot dogs to hot-buttered popcorn cupcakes at the first ever "Gourmet Food Truck Night."

Co-sponsored by Hurricane Produc-tions and Category 5, the event has quickly sparked the attention of students.

�“I�’m looking forward to some delicious cupcakes,�” junior Andrew Quinzi said. �“With the cupcake craze that�’s been floating around I want to see what the fuss is about. I�’m also looking forward to trying some new food I�’ve never tried before, like from Latin Burger or Papa�’s Tapas.�”

A live disc jockey will provide music as

the food trucks open and begin serving their fried, baked and boiled delicacies at 8 p.m. Seasoned vendors like Fish Box are sched-uled to arrive along with newer faces like Cuban Cube, El Rincon Del Coqui, Mangia Mia and BC Tacos.

Though food trucks are typically known for greasy, high-quality comfort foods, some trucks like Slow Food Truck offer healthier menus with options like the blue chicken salad, a mixture of greens, bal-samic dressing and chicken, all of which are sourced locally.

�“We have college students that come out all the time to different locations,�” said Oren Bass, co-owner of Slow Food Truck. �“My business partner grew up down there and is a huge Hurricanes fan. We�’re excited to come out and support the Hurricanes, the pep-rally and have a great time out there.�”

According to Joshua Brandfon, associ-ate director of Student Activities and Stu-dent Organizations, Thursday�’s culinary mania could possibly be the start of an on-going UM tradition.

�“We definitely want to bring it back,�” Brandfon said. �“One of the reasons why we wanted to do it so early in the semester was so that if it was very successful, we would have time to kind of regroup and figure out another batch of trucks, another date, find a spot on the calendar and get everything pro-cessed again.�”

Local food-blogger Sef Gonzalez, who goes by "Burger Beast" and is known for re-viewing and prizing Miami�’s best trucks at his annual Bergie Awards, is a primary in-formation source used by truck-lovers hop-ing to spend the night indulging. Recently, he launched a Food Truck Tracker app for the iPhone, a tool that provides menus, prices and the location of trucks nearby.

�“[The event�’s success] always de-pends on how well the first event is re-ceived,�” Gonzalez said. �“The answer could be a yes, but I do think UM has the right ingredients to make an awe-some event. Are you guys up for the challenge?�”

An hour after eating begins, Category 5 will welcome students to The Rock for a pep rally, where cheerleaders, entertainers and Sebastian the Ibis are expected to boost enthusiasm for the upcoming football game against Ohio State. The rally is part of �“Golden Era Week,�” a weeklong series of events de-signed to celebrate football season and new traditions.

�“The first pep rally of the

year is the first welcome to football season and the athletic year in general,�” said Cait-lin Giles, chair of Category 5. �“It�’s meant to promote the game and to show our team and our school that we are spirited and we are ex-cited and proud to be a Miami Hurricane.�”

The Coral Gables Art Cinema not only strays from the mainstream in its se-lection of films, but the new Cinema Cafe features fare from a variety of Gables ven-dors.

Partnered with Sushi Maki, Choco-late Fashion bakery and Green Gables Cafe, the cinema now offers more than the traditional junk food, like popcorn and candy. In addition to the classics, moviegoers can add a California roll ($5), pastries like chocolate-walnut cookies ($4.50), and organic salads to their movie palette.

UM students are no strangers to Su-shi Maki�’s on-campus location, offering sushi with ingredients that contain no preservatives or artificial colorings. The Green Gables Cafe, located at 327 Al-hambra Circle, dedicates itself to provid-ing sustainable, organic options. Its menu includes freshly pressed juices ($5.50), artisan sandwiches ($10-12) and even glu-ten-free burgers ($12).

�“We�’re grateful to support the local arts and anything that enhances one�’s well-being,�” director of Green Gables Cafe Ana Rabel said.

Alex Kuk, manager of the Coral Ga-bles Sushi Maki, hopes that the partner-ship grows as well.

�“It is a nice relationship; it�’s a good marriage between the two,�” Kuk said.

Chocolate Fashion bakery offers sa-vory French-inspired desserts. The glazed tarts ($4-5), petit fours ($1.60) and cookies will soon become as popular as Buncha Crunch or Sour Patch Kids.

Most can agree that food is often the best way to bring people together. The cafe was created with that exact in-tention of making a more communal movie-watching experience, said cinema director Robert Rosenburg. It also helps support local businesses.

�“Instead of leaving after the movie, people can stay for food and interact over a light lunch or dinner,�” Rosenburg said.

He is currently working on getting a beer and wine license, but Lavazzo-brand coffee and Izze soft drinks will suffice un-til then. Rosenburg encourages people to

eat not only in the cafe, but also inside the theater or outside on the patio.

The Coral Gables Art Cinema, which opened in 2010, plays American indepen-dent, foreign and classic films that are not found in larger South Florida multi-plexes. Created by the non-profit film arts organization Coral Gables Cinemateque Inc., the theater offers HD-quality visuals and sound. Tickets are $13 for the general public and $8 for seniors and full-time students.

The cinema also hosts special events in which they feature a specific director or artist.

In collaboration with the Centro Cultural Español and Books & Books, the cinema will be hosting a weeklong program Nat Chediak presents �“David Trueba, Recent Works.�” A leading Span-ish filmmaker, novelist and journalist, Trueba will be showcasing his work in Miami starting Friday.

For more information on showtimes, events and trailers visit gablescinema.com. The cinema is located at 260 Aragon Avenue and is open seven days a week.

IN IT TO WIN IT: Junior Lizzie Hale, a defensive specialist, serves the volleyball during the home game against Florida A&M. The University of Miami’s women’s volleyball team won 3-0.

ZACH BEEKER // The Miami Hurricane

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Squad set for success

Fans of the University of Miami, it�’s time to take notice. The women�’s volleyball team is legit, and has a chance to be the best sports team on campus this fall.

The Canes are already 9-0 on the year, beating up on teams with respected athletic programs like the SEC�’s LSU, Georgia and Auburn.

LSU and Auburn both made appearances in the NCAA tournament a year ago, with Auburn advancing to the Sweet 16.

But Miami�’s most impressive out of conference victory didn�’t come against an SEC school, but from the Big 12.

The Hurricanes took on the 18th ranked Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday night, and gutted out an impressive come-from-behind victory.

�“No question we scheduled tough this year, and part of that was because we knew we had an experienced group and they could handle it,�” head coach Nicole Lantagne Welch said regarding Miami�’s out-of-conference matchups. �“We have the toughest schedule that we�’ve had since I�’ve been here and so far we�’re rising to the challenge.�”

After falling behind 1-0 to Oklahoma, Miami responded by winning three straight sets to put away a team that advanced to the Elite 8 of the NCAA tournament in 2010. It�’s the first time that Miami has beaten a ranked opponent since topping the 15th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers in the second round of the 2002 NCAA Tournament.

�“The team I�’m coaching �…they are resilient and they are experienced, and experienced players don�’t get rattled by situations like that,�” Lantagne Welch said. �“They held their composure and they just answered back.�”

The victory over Oklahoma clinched the Hurricane Invitational title for Miami, a tournament that saw the Hurricanes lose only one set the entire weekend.

In addition to beating Oklahoma 3-1, Miami beat Florida A&M 3-0 on Thursday night and Auburn 3-0 on Saturday.

�“It�’s awesome because we�’ve been working

so hard,�” senior outside hitter Christine Williamson said. �“We always knew that we had a lot of potential and so now it�’s our chance to show it.�”

Miami has received stellar play from senior outside hitter Lane Carico and senior setter Katie Gallagher, which is to be expected. It is the play of the sophomore class, however, with a year�’s experience under its belt that has propelled Miami to a new level of play.

Sophomore right side Alex Johnson in particular began the year with an impressive start.

�“She�’s been executing and she�’s a huge key for us right now,�” Carico said. �“It�’s great to play next to her.�”

The Hurricanes haven�’t been ranked since the end of the 2002 regular season, but the team has made a strong case so far this season that they deserve recognized as one of the top 25 teams in the country.

�“Certainly we do [deserve to be ranked], we�’re undefeated,�” Lantagne Welch said. �“We�’ve beaten�…more than three quality teams. We don�’t worry about the rankings we just worry about the results.�”

Miami will face another quality team come Wednesday. The Hurricanes hit the road for their next matchup, heading to Tallahassee to take on in-state rival Florida State in a primetime matchup that will air on ESPN-U at 8 p.m.

�“When it comes to playing Florida State, both teams are going to be ready to go,�” Lantagne Welch said. �“It�’s going to be a great rivalry match and we always have great matches with them. It�’s going to be a huge battle and we know it and we�’ve got to get ready for it.�”

Sept. 12 - Sept. 14, 2011 THE MIAMI HURRICANE SPORTS 13

Following the loss on Monday night, head coach Al Golden announced on Tuesday that he would be opening up the quarterback battle over the weekend before naming a starter. Almost immediately after that announcement was made, the depth chart was released, with senior Jacory Harris sitting at the top of the quarterback spot. It�’s not that Morris had a bad game against the Terrapins; he was 19-25 with 195 yards and did not throw an interception until late in the fourth quarter, when the Canes were looking to come back in the final minute. Both Morris and Harris had been in a �“dead heat,�” according to Golden, throughout fall camp. However, Golden also recently admitted that had it not been for the NCAA investigation that resulted in Harris�’ one-game suspension, he would have won the starting job. Harris brings two years�’ and several games�’ worth of starting experience, and has supposedly looked spectacular throughout camp. Now the question remains: Have the mistakes that led to an interception-plagued year been remedied?

In addition to the obvious bad blood between the Canes and Buckeyes, these are two programs that went through tumultuous offseasons. The Buckeyes lost their head coach and starting quarterback, and now are relying on Bauserman and rookie head coach Luke Fickell to lead the charge. Ohio State will still have seven starters out with suspensions against the Hurricanes, while Miami will have five starters returning. It�’s also worth mentioning that many of these players were in Ohio last year for the beatdown the Buckeyes laid on the Canes, a 36-24 loss for Miami. The team will be looking to make amends for that loss. Combine the revenge factor and what should be a packed crowd at Sun Life Stadium and expect the Canes to come out fired up for this one.

In two games so far this year, Ohio State has yet to prove how they can play against a big-name team. After a 42-0 romp over the Akron Zips, a team that went 1-11 last year, the Buckeyes struggled mightily to put away Toledo on Saturday afternoon. T h e y eventually came away with a 27-22 victory that perhaps brought along more questions than it really answered. Sure, there�’s always the possibility that the Buckeyes suffered because they were caught looking ahead to their upcoming matchup with the Canes. But the fact remains that Saturday�’s win came more due to Toledo�’s mistakes than to OSU�’s ability. Bauserman is in his first year starting for the Buckeyes, and the Hurricanes present the toughest test he has yet to face. The biggest concern for Ohio State will be on special teams, where the unit struggled on Saturday. Miami will need to take advantage of a strong special teams unit and create some momentum of their own with long kick returns to put themselves in a good position to win the game.

Against Maryland, the defense gave up 348 passing yards, 499 total yards and, for most of the game, was completely manhandled by the Terrapins�’ affinity for screen passes. With three starters returning on defense from their NCAA mandated suspensions, Miami is hoping to cut down drastically on the total yardage given up. With senior linebacker Sean Spence returning to call plays on the defensive side, look for the game plan to run much smoother. The leadership that he brings to the defensive front was missed against Maryland, perhaps more so than his overall skill set. With defensive lineman Marcus Forston returning as well, look for the line to put added pressure on Buckeye quarterback Joe Bauserman.

Before sophomore receiver Allen Hurns�’ emergence in camp, he had spent the majority of two years primarily as a special teams contributor, not getting much of an opportunity to hit the field otherwise. But after a strong camp which earned him a start against Maryland, he did not disappoint,

bagging four receptions for 67 yards, including a long 37-yard catch and run. Golden gave Hurns plenty of

praise throughout camp for his physicality and his ability to block, as well as the speed he brings to the

receiving corps. With a major hole to fill after the departure of last season�’s receiving star Leonard Hankerson, Hurns looks

to become one of the guys that the quarterback, whether it be Harris or Morris down the line, will use in big play situations.

dear ...Dear V: Two heads may be better than one...

Dear V,

I started to like this girl whom I�’m very close to. Unfortu-nately, I�’m reluctant to seriously date her. You see, the problem is there is another girl who my heart belongs to, or at least used to. I�’m afraid that if I see the two side-by-side �– which is very likely, seeing as they will be both be in attendance at my events �– I will �“cheat�” on the girl I want to ask out now with the girl I used to love nearby. I don�’t want to do wrong by this new girl and I cer-tainly want to be with her, but I fear my own actions.

Sincerely,Stuck in a Rut

Dear Hugh Hefner,

What are your �“events?�” Are these frat parties, student activities or are you opening up for Sinbad at The Apollo? I guess it doesn�’t matter. Anyway, I can understand your conundrum, and, since this isn�’t 1850 and you aren�’t Brigham Young, you�’re going to have to make a choice.

First off, which girl likes you more - in other words, which one is more likely to go out of her way to spend time with you? If you still don�’t know the answer, text both of them at the same time with the same text and see which one replies first. Yes, there are variables which may interfere with their ability to text back, but think of it as divine providence.

This choice is never easy to make and it isn�’t easy to give advice for. Ask people who know both of them which one they think is a better match for you, how am I supposed to know?

I know your preferences and these girls�’ person-alities about as well as Washington knows how to come up with a federal budget (although I can tell you that any girl is probably going to raise your debt ceiling). As long as you�’re not committed to either,

you�’re not cheating on anyone; you�’re just trying to figure out what�’s best for you. If either one of them cared about you, they would recognize that.

As far as �“fearing [your] actions�” goes, I wouldn�’t worry much about it. If Charlie Sheen doesn�’t fear any of his actions, then you certainly shouldn�’t. I would imagine you�’re not railing blow out of stripper cleavage.

If you like the new girl, go with her. If that leads to you becoming ritually unclean, then so be it, but at least try to have some willpower.

Anyway, figure it out, Fonzie. You have two girls that you can pick from, think of how many poor schmucks don�’t have any (Carrot Top). If you still can�’t make a decision then take them both and move to Waco, Texas, just don�’t let the ATF or the FBI find out.

Send me a video of the impending catfight (bet-ter be in HD),
