ur r icanes senior defensive t a c k l e Michael Wyche was arrested early Wednesday morning on misdemeanor domestic WYCHE battery charges. If convicted, Wyche’s charges carry a maximum of one year in jail, according to the Florida Legislature.

He was taken in by police at 4:50 a.m. and kept at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center until Wednesday afternoon before being released on a $1,500 bond, according to Matt Porter of the Palm Beach Post.

“The University of Miami Department of Athletics is aware of the situation involving senior defensive tackle Michael Wyche. He has been suspended indefinitely and the department has no further comment at this time,” the university said in a statement.

The details from the arrest remain uncertain. Wyche will have his hearing Nov. 18, according to Matt Porter.

Wyche has appeared in only four games this season and has failed to record a statistic in any of the four outings.

Listed at 6-foot-4 and 345 pounds, Wyche has generally been considered a disappointment in his time with the Hurricanes. Before coming to the Canes, Wyche played two seasons at East Los Angeles College, a junior college. He came to Miami as a three-star recruit and was expected to be a productive contributor to the defensive line rotation, but instead has recorded a mere nine tackles in his two seasons with the Canes.

Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour Sunday, Nov. 1.

President’s Campus Coalition discusses climate survey results

By Isabella Cueto Assistant News Editor

T

he President’s Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence and Prevention met Monday afternoon in the Donna Shalala Student Center to discuss the results from the spring 2015 pilot campus climate survey on sexual violence. President Julio Frenk, Vice President of Student Affairs Patricia Whitely, the Board of Trustees and the president’s cabinet were briefed on the findings before the coalition meeting, but the survey results were only released to the public at 4 p.m. on Monday.

Just 954 students, 5.7 percent of the student population at the University of Miami, completed the climate survey on sexual violence, according to the results released on Monday afternoon. The survey was an initiative by the coalition to gather data specific to the university.

The survey was sent out to nearly 17,000 students between February and April and asked respondents questions on the overall campus climate, rape myth, prevention programming, campus resources, bystander perceptions and intervention, and students’ personal experiences.

Although the link was sent to a large number of students, the response rate was only 6.2 percent, or 1,036 students. Once students began taking the survey, that rate dropped slightly and 954 students (more than 70 percent of whom identified as females) completed the entire survey.

Two hundred seventy-four students who identified as male and eight students who did not identify either as male or female completed the survey.

“One of the things to point out here is that not only was the response rate low, but it was also not representative, and that’s why we really have to take the results with caution,” Tony Lake, associate dean of students and director of judicial affairs, said to the approximately 27 members in attendance.

Among the members of the coalition, there are representatives from most areas of the university community: undergraduate students and graduate students, athletics, housing and residential life, the medical school and the law school, Greek life, faculty affairs and many more.

Lake co-chairs the coalition with Kimberly Martin, outreach coordinator for the Counseling Center. The coalition reports to Whitely, who briefs President Frenk. Whitely said that the results of the survey could be used to start some discussion, despite low response rates.

“We have some results, I think, that can frame some conversation,” Whitely said.

A consistent thread of discussion throughout the two-hour meeting was the lack of significant representation for minority groups as well as other specific groups of students. Ashley Falcon is a wellness program administrator and played a large

role in gathering and interpreting the data from the survey.

“Minority students weren’t well-represented … the main standout is going to be gender — female representation — also, probably more offcampus housing than on-campus housing versus the general university-wide demographics. Other than that, group affiliation … same thing goes for relationship status,” she said.

Because of the low response rate, data from minority or other specific student groups was limited to one or two respondents. Lake said that using the experiences of a small number of respondents to represent an entire group at UM would have been “inappropriate,” so much of the data was split up only by gender.

According to Lake, one of the primary complaints was the length of the survey. In an attempt to collect as much data as possible, respondents were asked a maximum of 26 questions, some with several parts to the question.

UM’s survey was also different from other surveys, such as the Association of American Universities (AAU) survey, which sampled 27 universities and was widely circulated by the media.

Unlike the AAU survey, the one sent out to UM students asked about their experiences throughout their whole lives, not just in their time on campus.

“For us, we wanted to be more broad because, as an institution, Title IX requires us to respond to those students and provide them [with] resources whether it happened here, between themselves and another student, or not. So we took a more liberal approach,” Lake said.

A major finding in the AAU survey was the prevalence of sexual violence among students who

identify as LGBT. Jessica Williams, a coalition representative and assistant professor in the School of Nursing and Health Studies, hopes the campus survey will grow in response rate to better represent the population most affected by sexual violence.

“I thought that a major finding from the AAU report was the higher levels among the LGBT community, and we just didn’t have the numbers in this [UM survey] to be able to break that out, and that’s unfortunate,” Williams said.

Amid all the conversation about a lack of data and specificity, graduate student Dina Dajani acknowledged the value of recognizing even one report of sexual violence and providing the education and resources.

“We talk about how this isn’t generalizable to the greater UM population, but it’s true for those thousand people that we sampled too, and they’re important too, right?” Dajani said. “It’s good to talk about this in the context of an actual individual’s experience.”

Although the statistics from the pilot survey indicate that there is a lot of work left to be done at UM, Lake expressed a positive outlook. He said there has been a nearly linear growth in reports since the coalition kicked off less than 18 months ago.

“I can say as we’ve done more and more of our prevention and education work, the number of reports has gone up,” he said.

Isabella Cueto serves as a representative for the undergraduate student body and student media on the President’s Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence Prevention and Education.

Psi Chi Tie-Dye event raises money for Alzheimer’s research

By Emmi Velez Contributing News Writer

M

embers of the University of Miami’s chapter of the Psi Chi International Honor Society held its annual tie-dye event on the Foote Green from Oct. 27-28. Psi Chi is an honor society for psychology majors.

The Psi Chi Tie-Dye event is a tongue-twister that benefits a good

cause. Students hoped that the event would help to raise both money and awareness for Alzheimer’s research.

Participants paid a flat rate of $5 ($3 if they brought their own shirt) for a T-shirt, an expert tie-dying lesson and all the supplies necessary to make their shirts unique and colorful. Designs ranged from spirited orange and green game day shirts to bright rainbow workout tees.

Last year’s Psi Chi Tie-Dye event raised more than $2,000 to benefit Alzheimer’s awareness and research by fundraising and selling 50 shirts. Earlier this year, Psi Chi hoped to beat last year’s record by raising more than $2,500.

Members have already surpassed their goal by raising more than $2,900 to date. They are projecting this year’s proceeds to be greater than $3,000. Psi Chi members are expecting 50 to 60 people to tie dye

shirts this year in addition to outside donations.

Psi Chi’s Philanthropy Chair and senior psychology major Nicole Foster expanded on the society’s goals for the immediate future.

“This year we’re actually hoping to do not only the Tie-Dye but also a volunteering experience as well,” she said. “We would go out to hospitals and nursing homes around the area where members can spend time with actual Alzheimer’s patients so you can see where the money is going and who all of the care and support is actually affecting.”

Julia Janecki, neuroscience major and peer mentoring liaison for Psi Chi, explained the event and the impact it has on the Miami community.

“The Psi Chi Tie-Dye is part of our semester of philanthropy where we raise money for the organization

Hilarity for Charity, which benefits the Alzheimer’s Association,” she said.

Hilarity for Charity is a movement led by comedian Seth Rogen.

Rogen hopes to influence the millennial generation to take action against Alzheimer’s disease by raising awareness through his comedy. The organization believes that Alzheimer’s isn’t just something to worry about when you get old and encourages college students to have fun while raising awareness of a great cause.

The organization’s sponsors include stand-up comedians Aziz Ansari, Amy Schumer, James Franco and Miley Cyrus. According to Hilarity for Charity’s official website, more than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and it is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.

Fate Bridge opens, increases mobility around Lake Osceola

By Marcus Lim Staff Writer

U

nder an overcast sky, President Julio Frenk, donors and University of Miami administrators cut the ribbon on the Fate Bridge on Wednesday morning, reshaping the way students can move around campus.

The new bridge was built to create greater campus mobility, spanning the stretch from the Eaton residential parking lot on the south side of the lake to the University Center Lakeside Patio on the north side. President Frenk, Senior Vice President for University Advancement and External Affairs Sergio Gonzalez and the bridge’s naming donors, senior Hannah Weese and her mother Elizabeth Weese, spoke before the 210-foot long bridge over Lake Osceola opened for use.

After finding out about the bridge’s construction in the spring semester of 2015, Weese talked to her mother about naming the bridge

with the words of her grandfather’s favorite poem, “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley, which he carried in his briefcase wherever he went. The last two lines of the poem, “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul,” are now etched on the bridge’s surface.

Those two lines have been a family motto for the Weeses, to take charge of their life and determine their own actions.

“I fell in love with this campus and I really wanted to make a mark on it,” Hannah said. “I hope people on campus take some from [the words on the bridge]. There’s something in those words for everyone.”

Those who came for the ceremony were given a badge that read “I am the master of my fate” after crossing the bridge.

Frenk and Gonzalez commented on the bridge’s importance to the campus, cutting north and south through Lake Osceola, which is situated in the center of campus between the Shalala Student Center, University Center, Lakeside Patio, Stanford-Hecht residential halls, School of Architecture and Frost School of Music.

“Bridges connect communities and this will serve as an intricate fabric of this campus,” Frenk said.

“This wonderful structure will be an iconic bridge for this institution,” Gonzalez added.

“Once students walk through here, they will

see a unique view of Osceola and memories will be created for the students.”

The construction of the bridge started in late May, and College of Engineering and School of Architecture students took part. Under professor Antonio Nanni’s guidance, the students assisted the construction company Moss & Associates and architect company Arquitectonica International Corporation in the completion of the bridge by installing glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebars (GFRP) to help prevent future corrosion and data-collecting sensors that will help to monitor the longevity of the bridge.

“The purpose is to design and construct sustainable bridges. We want to have bridges that have service life in excess of a hundred years,” Nanni said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “To do that you must address the issue of corrosion.”

He explained that humans uses over 1.3 trillion liters of water to mix concrete. By using GFRP (which doesn’t corrode easily) instead of steel materials inside the concrete, one can mix salt water with the concrete in lieu of fresh water, which doesn’t compromise the stability of the bridge and saves natural resources.

For their efforts on the bridge, Nanni and his students were nominated for the Award for Innovation by the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo in Dallas, Texas.

he Rival, an online publication produced by students “to give the students of University of Miami their voices back,” launched on Wednesday afternoon.

As part of an expansion, The Rival launched at eight new campuses Wednesday, including Duke University, George Mason University, Notre Dame University, American University, Howard University, Indiana University, Rochester University and UM. It includes five distinct sections and a list of 16 students on its “About Us” page, where the mission statement reads: “To speak the language of UMiami students, to change the meaning of campus journalism, and to make you think, laugh, and think again.”

In 2014, the original publication launched at George Washington University “as a response to filtered and outdated traditional campus publications,” according to its website.

“Formerly DC-based, the Rival’s multi-campus expansion now allows students all over the country to speak freely about their student experiences and college culture, explore creative styles, and share ideas in a whole new way,” their website says.

Their sections are listed as “What []_[] Want: Satire/Health & Wellness/Sports/Campus News,” “Sh!T that Matters: Politics/International News/Current Events,” “411 on the 305: Miami Life” and “Bad Habits: Social Life/Guilty Pleasures.”

his time of the year, Greek life philanthropies are in full swing. Service days like Hurricanes Help the Hometown are celebrated, Breast Cancer Awareness Month paints the

Giving back to the community is on everyone’s minds. Yet, while campus fundraisers help us to donate to amazing national groups like the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the American Cancer Society, we sometimes overlook egregious problems that need attention right in our backyard.

The Environmental Justice Project, a research and policy group housed within the law school, focuses on such a problem, one that few people in the university are aware of: the horror of Old Smokey.

Until 1970, there was a trash incinerator in the West Grove owned and operated by the city of Miami. The facility was coined “Old Smokey” because, for over 40 years, it spewed ash into the air that contained cancer-causing heavy metals like arsenic, lead and cadmium, according to a 2013 New York Times report.

An estimated one ton of smoke and ash was ejected into the air each day by Old Smokey, so much so that there are accounts of the ash obstructing airplanes flying into MIA, according to “Old Smokey: A Community History,” a short documentary produced in 2013 by UM’s Center for Ethics and Public Service. The smokestack stood where the City of Miami Fire-Rescue Training Center is now located, right next to George Washington Carver School, which children have attended since 1934, even in the shadow of Old Smokey.

When the incinerator was built, the West Grove was legally segregated under Jim Crow laws, confining African-American residents to that portion of the town. The West Grove remained segregated until the 1970s and denied access to the city’s public water supply, a deeply discriminatory practice that outlasted even other southern cities. This policy meant that West Grove residents were left to use groundwater pumps subject to contamination by Old Smokey’s toxins.

Lifelong residents of the West Grove remember the horrifying effects of Old Smokey and are still living with its ramifications, as chronicled in the documentary. West Grove residents experience chronic health problems and some fear a higher-than-average rate of certain cancers within their community as a result of exposure to the contamination. With the assistance of the Environmental Justice Project, the community has clamored for a wide-ranging health study. However, they have yet to receive such assistance from the government.

In addition to possibly causing enduring health effects, the leftover ash from the incinerator was used to fill in soil at public parks all across the city, running the risk of subjecting

families who frequent neighborhood parks to potentially toxic effects of contaminated soil.

Efforts at environmental testing and remediation by the city have been weak at best. They frequently use unscientific “visual assessments” before testing and have only started remediation recently because of intense community pressure.

I volunteered with the Environmental Justice Project to help support our neighbors in West Grove because I was appalled at the lack of resources and awareness devoted to an issue so close to home.

The city of Miami has a well-documented history of corruption and discrimination, and it is naive to believe that these problems have been completely eradicated. Old Smokey is an example of this, but there are many more concerns that deserve the advocacy of student groups to help resolve them.

Next year, when philanthropy season rolls around, look into local issues, not just national ones. Figure out how you can contribute to your own community. The rewards will be even more personal and meaningful.

WICKED HAUNTS TO HOP ON HALLOWEEN

By Donatella Vacca Staff Writer

MUST-SEE MOVIES FOR HALLOWEEN MARATHON

By Esther Ponce De Leon Staff Writer

Sorting through all of the spooky movie choices for Halloween can be a scary task. So here’s your guide to some Halloween favorites that make for a boo-tiful Halloween marathon full of tricks and treats.

“Hocus Pocus” What better way to start Halloween than with a cult classic? In this movie, a skeptical teenager accidentally reawakens three wicked witches. When that happens, he, his sister, his friend and a boy stuck in a cat’s body have to stop the witches from destroying the world and killing innocent children. In the meantime, the three witches have to quickly learn about the modern world, namely that Halloween is a holiday where children dress as witches, not when witches cast curses. “Hocus Pocus” is not the most frightening movie, but it will definitely cast a spell on your evening and set the mood for the scarier movies to come.

“Halloweentown” “Halloweentown” is the cornerstone of all Halloween movie marathons. The movie follows Marnie Cromwell and her siblings on Marnie’s 13th Halloween. While their mother tries to restrain the children’s fascination with all things Halloween, their grandmother actively encourages it. The children follow their grandmother to her home in Halloweentown, where they discover that they’re descendants of a long line of powerful witches. Their revelation comes at a good time, because Halloweentown needs all of the Cromwells to protect the citizens from a growing evil. “Halloweentown” embodies everything Halloween, with monsters, witches, magic and curses.

“A Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984) Get ready for the scarier side of the Halloween marathon. Meet Freddy Krueger in one of the original slasher films. A group of four teenagers all have the same nightmare: a man with long, blade-like nails chases them to a boiler room, where he prepares to kill them. At first, the teenagers wake up in time to avoid his blade, but when one girl’s nightmare ends with her real-life murder, the other teenagers become frightened. Nancy, one of the teenagers, learns that the man of her nightmares was once a murderer, but the parents of the neighborhood had killed him years ago. This film is not for the easily frightened, as Freddy might haunt your nightmares after viewing this movie.

“Insidious” “Insidious” will make you wish you were watching a movie that’s only about a possessed house. When their son falls from a ladder in the attic of their new home, Josh and Renai take him to the hospital and try to make their house safer. When nothing they do can stop the supernatural forces that seem to reside there, Josh and Renai call in some experts – paranormal investigators. The investigators explain what is causing the paranormal activity. It’s not their house; it’s their son. Find something to cover your face, because the final scary movie of the marathon is next.

“Halloween” (1978) End your holiday marathon with the eponymous film. When a six-year-old Michael Myers kills his sister, the authorities tried to get him help. Then they tried to keep him locked up. Now he has escaped and plans on terrorizing his old neighborhood. “Halloween” will make you jump with fear and question what is right and wrong. The film spawned a whole franchise of movies following serial killer Michael Myers, but watch the original to see why his name lives in infamy.

RAID YOUR CLOSET FOR THIS YEAR’S HALLOWEEN COSTUME

By Haley Walker Staff Writer

If you’re short on cash or tired of the Halloween shop options, try peeking in your own closet for costume inspiration. These five looks are made of pieces you probably already have in your wardrobe.

Detective Against the chiding of others, you finally have an excuse to bring your trench coat to Miami. Pull off this suave look with some ‘70s separates, like a hound’stooth skirt and derby vest. A plaid cap and suede boots will keep this outfit cool and collected. If you’re still not looking ready to solve a case, grab a briefcase and a spyglass to polish off your detective getup.

Indiana Jones This outfit is all about layers of beige. Throw on some khakis and a cream button-down, then add a brown windbreaker to get Indie’s signature style.

Some hiking boots and an outdoorsy fedora will complete the look. Smudge a bit of dirt or eyeliner on your cheeks for an added effect.

Pirate This outfit is a costume full of fall trends. Start with a lace-up peasant top and over-the-knee boots.

Add some swashbuckling swag with a suede vest and skirt set. Don’t forget to deck yourself out in gold – a coin necklace and parrot pin will solidify your place as a pirate.

VMAs Miley This costume is marginally better than walking around naked. For decency, start with a nude bodysuit. Channel Miley’s glittery getup with a sequin skirt and duct tape across the chest. Accessorize with some clip-in dreads, faux crystals and a Wrecking Ball red lip.

Vintage Princess L Leia With the new “Star Wars” movie coming out, it’s the perfect time to pay homage to the classic princess. If you don’t have a long white robe, mimic the look with all-white separates. Add a cute gun clutch instead of lugging around a defender-sporting blaster pistol. The final touch is Leia’s signature side buns; you can always add a hairpiece if your locks aren’t quite up to par.

T

he last five days have been tough for the Miami Hurricanes.

There was the worst loss in school history on Saturday, the firing of Head Coach Al Golden on Sunday and the unexpected passing of the mother of junior defensive back Artie Burns on Tuesday morning. While the team now has a new coach and is headed in a new direction, it does not mean that things are getting any easier.

In his first game as interim head coach, Larry Scott will lead the Canes into a tough environment in Durham, North Carolina against No. 22 Duke this Saturday night. Making matters worse, starting quarterback sophomore Brad Kaaya could be out while he continues to work his way through the concussion protocol.

The Hurricanes (4-3, 1-2) do not have fond memories of their last trip to Wallace Wade Stadium, where they were dominated in a 48-30 defeat in November of 2013. The Canes played one of their best games of the season against Duke last

TOUGH TIME: Sophomore quarterback Brad Kaaya (15) takes a hit from Clemson defenders in the first quarter of last week’s game against Clemson. Kaaya later left the game after getting sacked early in the second quarter. year in a 22-10 win, but going against the Blue Devils (6-1, 3-0) this time around will be a whole different story.

Before last week, Duke’s defense hadn’t allowed more than 20 points and, even after pulling off a 45-43 win over Virginia Tech in quadruple overtime, the Blue Devils still rank sixth in the nation for points allowed per game. With Kaaya’s status in doubt, Malik Rosier could be in for another long day in the backfield.

Last week, the redshirt freshman threw for only 42 yards and two interceptions on 7-of-22 passing against Clemson. With the Miami run game struggling, Rosier will have to show some signs of progress for the Canes’ offense to have any life.

On the other side of the ball, the Hurricanes’ defense will be hoping that last week was just a fluke and not their new norm. While the Blue Devils thrive off their defense, their offense isn’t too shabby either.

In the team’s last two games, Duke has scored 89 points and totaled 907 yards. Duke Head Coach David Cutcliffe’s offense has been having a bit of trouble throwing the ball this season, but they’ve had no problem running it, especially with mobile quarterback Thomas Sirk.

Under defensive coordinator Mark D’Onofrio, the Canes have often struggled against the option and quarterbacks that can make their own plays on the run.

After facing a dynamic quarterback in Clemson’s Deshaun Watson last week, the Hurricanes have had plenty of preparation for Sirk.

The Canes are coming off one of the most tumultuous weeks in recent program history, but they still have football to play. The team still has the ACC Coastal Division title in mind and beating Duke would be a crucial step in that direction.

The Hurricanes face Duke at 7 p.m. on Saturday in North Carolina.

ay Lewis came to the University of Miami for a book signing of his new memoir “I Feel Like Going On: Life, Game, and Glory” on Wednesday afternoon. Lewis signed copies of his book and took pictures with around 250 fans from noon until 3 p.m. inside the Whitten University Center.

Before the event, Lewis spoke to The Miami Hurricane about the state of the Hurricanes football team and the recent firing of Head Coach Al Golden. Lewis does not know if the firing needed to happen, but he said, “We need to turn this program around. Bottom line.”

Lewis, who starred for the Canes from 1993-95, believes the responsibility is on the players’ shoulders to make the team great again. The future NFL Hall of Famer said it doesn’t matter “what coach you bring in” if the team wants to avoid more performances like the 58-0 embarrassment against Clemson last Saturday, the worst loss in school history. “The only people that are going to change what that looked like the other day is the players,” Lewis said.

For Lewis, the historic loss to Clemson was about more than just a difference in talent between the two teams. “What you saw the other day, I always view it as much deeper than just talent. Sometimes a lack of leadership can be a key ingredient missing,” Lewis said.

When Lewis played for the Canes, he said the team was “really about togetherness and effort.” That isn’t necessarily the case for the present team in his view. “The field play isn’t about the scoreboard. It’s about the effort for each other.

When you kind of watch the games, that’s what’s missing,” Lewis said. “It’s ownership [of] what you do on the field. It’s about you and your teammates.”

Number of consecutive starts by sophomore Brad Kaaya. The sophomore is questionable to play Saturday due to a concussion.

Lewis went through a coaching change of his own at Miami. Butch Davis took over for Dennis Erickson going into Lewis’s junior year and the two left on difficult terms when the linebacker entered the NFL Draft before his senior season.

Davis is a popular name among fans for the head coach position and recently said he would “love to be considered for that opportunity” in an interview on “790 The Ticket.”

“Butch will always be a strong candidate,” Lewis said. “As far as him coming back, I think we should really take our time and find the right person that’s going to bring in the right energy and the right passion back to this university.

That’s what we deserve. That’s what we left here.”

Ed Reed, a former Hurricane great and teammate of Lewis’ from 2002-12 for the Baltimore Ravens, said that he would listen if Miami called him about the head coaching job on the “Rich Eisen Show” on Monday. Although the recently retired safety has never coached before, Lewis believes Reed “would be a good coach at anything because Ed understands what it takes,” Lewis said. “Whatever Ed puts his mind to, he can really do it.”

Lewis laughed when asked about potentially replacing Golden, but wouldn’t rule out coaching in his future. “I close no door. I keep all doors open,” Lewis said.

One of the most beloved Canes of all time, Lewis talks about his childhood, his time at Miami and his playing days in the NFL among other subjects in the new book. “I think a lot of people have seen my story,” Lewis said, “but a lot of people never heard my exact story told from me.”

Dear V, Over the last few months, I’ve been seeing a guy who’s in his late 30s and I’m a junior in college. I don’t usually go for older guys, but we hit it off and haven’t been able to get enough of each other since.

Things are definitely heating up, as we’ve already met each other’s parents and went on a weekend trip. My friends were

30 Years of Scooping for the

supportive at first, but now that we’re getting serious, they’ve changed their tune.

They keep saying an age gap that big isn’t practical and he’s going to have more in common with my parents than me. The last time I brought him along on a girls’ night out, my friends were cold and standoffish, barely even including him in the conversation. Driving home, my boyfriend asked me why my friends don’t like him – what am I supposed to say?

I’m trying to keep cool, but I wish they’d be nice when we’re all together. How can I help my friends be comfortable around my boyfriend?

Sincerely, Mind the Gap

THE MIAMI HURRICANE

Dear Mind the Gap, It’s not your boyfriend’s job to merge himself with your circle; it’s your friends’ job to welcome him. Sure, it’ll be awk at first and your guy may prefer to talk football with your dad than to dish gossip with your girls, but he’ll still appreciate the effort to include him.

The next time your crew is hesitant, have them put on a happy face – if you’ve fallen for this guy, there’s a reason you enjoy spending time with him, so they can, too. Try an activity you all enjoy, like a squad trip to the movies or a bite to eat at the bar.

If this doesn’t work, you might have to stand up to your friends. If there’s no true reason they don’t like him besides his age, they’re being shallow.

However, you may find there’s a real reason they’re put off by him

DEAR V

– they might have claimed it was the age gap to spare your feelings.

When you have feelings for someone, you sometimes ignore big “red flags” you wouldn’t normally overlook. Listen to what your friends have to say first – but if their qualm is truly only the number on his ID, you may have to ditch your friends for your guy once in a while.

Get the girls to let your boo into the crew. Maybe they’ll change their minds when they see how fun he is. Who knows, your guy could even set up one of your girls with one of his bros – that’ll really help make the clique “click.”

-V
