Rwandan debaters talk post-genocide recovery

By Matthew Berkowitz Contributing News Writer

A

STUDENT GOVERNMENT The opposition, provided by Tugume and Mbabazi, discussed the impossibility of accepting apologies in post-genocide Rwanda.

“How can you forgive if you have to see the person who murdered your family every day?” said Mbabazi.

The outcome of the debate was decided by an audience vote. The Rwandan team won by a large majority.

Following the debate was a powerful talk by Jean Michel Habineza, iDebate’s coach and international coordinator. Habineza discussed the impact of the genocide on the Rwandan national identity as well as the power iDebate has to help young Rwandans.

“To you, one million [victims] is just a number, but to us [Rwandans], it’s an uncle we may never meet, or a grandparent we may never love,” Habineza said.

According to Habineza, debate helps to build confidence and to force one to understand another’s opinion. Debate also aids in building a national identity, as 60 percent of the Rwandan population is under 25, which makes up a very im-

pressionable and important generation of youth.

“By taking part in debate, students become engaged learners, critical thinkers and leaders who are effective advocates for themselves and their communities,” says the 2014 iDebate Annual Report.

After UM, iDebate will continue debating against other college teams as well as speaking to high school audiences. iDebate’s second annual American tour has already visited California, Washington and Texas.

“It’s a healing process for us to get to come speak to people that are willing to lend a listening ear,” said Tugume. Even seasoned debate veterans were moved by having the Rwandan team in attendance.

“I’ve been in debate for my entire life,” said David L. Steinberg, UM’s debate director, “but it’s never touched my heart as much as when he [Habineza] was talking about its impact in Rwanda.”

generation of young adults in Rwanda survived the country’s 1994 genocide that killed nearly one million people. On Monday Sept.

28, some of them visited the University of Miami to debate how to respond to such a catastrophe.

Members of iDebate Rwanda are touring the United States as part of the series “Voices From a PostGenocide Generation.”

University of Miami’s debate team argued that forgiveness is necessary in the aftermath of such an event, while the Rwandan team said that justice was needed before anyone could forgive. Renee Reneau, Michael Fuentes and Rachel Chapnik represented UM against Maya Musenga, Clemence Mbabazi and Jesh Arnold Tugume of the Rwandan iDebate team.

“Forgiveness is the only way to de-escalate conflict,” Reneau said during UM’s opening statement.

Musenga, a member of the Rwandan team, contradicted this idea with a powerful anecdote from a survivor of the genocide.

“Justice is a prerequisite for forgiveness,” Musenga explained.

Chapnik and Fuentes from UM continued to press the psychological benefit of forgiveness despite the obvious difficulties, saying that “[There is] no healing Shreya Chidarala // Assistant Photo Editor structure caused by a victim STANDING STRONG: Jesh Tugume, program director of iDebate Rwanda, speaks of justice.” about the issues of justice and forgiveness in the aftermath of genocide during Monday night’s world debate with UM’s debate team.

Senate recap: LED lighting, constitutional amendments

By Marcus Lim Staff Writer

Senate election results announced, referendum passed

By Marcus Lim Staff Writer

LED LIGHTING

The Student Government Senate wants campus to be more environmentally friendly. During Wednesday’s meeting, a bill was passed to implement lightemitting diode (LED) lighting throughout the campus.

The bill was proposed by senior Melissa Wyatt, the former junior class senator who was elected senior class senator Wednesday, and the Energy & Conservation Organization (ECO) Agency.

The LED lights would reduce light pollution, last 10 times longer than the existing light bulbs used by the university, produce a better quality of light for increased visibility and lead to a reduction in maintenance costs, according to Wyatt and ECO Agency.

The Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center used LED bulb replacements and have reported a 62.5 percent decrease in energy. They also conducted a cost-benefit-analysis over the summer that studied the energy usage and costs of current lighting across campus and concluded that having LED lights installed would result in energy savings of 50 to 70 percent.

They hope the university will retrofit and install LED lighting to replace existing bulbs and fixtures throughout campus.

Research done by ECO Agency showed that the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had an anticipated savings of $25 million over seven years and that Dartmouth College had 66 percent energy savings.

“Due to the unique geographical location of where the university is, it’s important for us to take the lead on eco-friendly initiatives,” Wyatt said. “It was very exciting to see the unanimous support from senate and all the students that I have talked to, which shows how important it is to keep undertaking these measures on campus.”

AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION

A bill has been passed that amends the current constitution that states no person shall concurrently hold any two offices within Student Government.

No member of a branch or agency who is a permanent representative in Executive Committee meetings will be permitted to hold another office in any other branch or agency of Student Government.

NOTES

Nicholas Rodriguez was sworn in as the senator of the Interfraternity Council.

College of Engineering, School of Communication and two commuter senator seats are open.

University Affairs is looking into creating an online registry for lost and found items.

Student Government Senate election results were announced at the Rock in front of over 50 students from various schools, organizations and constituents who came to see who would represent their voices.

The Senate will welcome 14 new members who will be sworn in at next Wednesday’s senate meeting. Thirteen are returning members who have either retained their seat or are now occupying a different position.

The results came after an election process that took place from Monday to Wednesday, with 2,681 votes cast in total. Students can vote for multiple positions, and the elections committee estimated that around 725 students voted.

Speaker of the Senate Jeffery Sznapstajler, who leads the weekly Senate meetings, is excited to welcome all new and returning members.

“It feels great to have new people. New people means new ideas and it’s never a bad thing to have new ideas,” Sznapstajler said. “I expect them, through innovative thinking, to keep pushing the university in a forward direction that represents the Hurricanes’ spirit.”

The newly elected senators will learn what is expected of them next Wednesday and the returning members are excited to retain their seats and bring more ideas to Senate.

“I’m ecstatic,” said Jackie Safstrom, a commuter senator who was re-elected to the position she has held since last year. “I feel honored and privileged that my constituency voted for me again and gave me another chance to serve them once more.”

The voting process also yielded good news for Distraction Magazine and Ibis Yearbook. As per the referendum submitted, the Student Activity Fee will be raised by $1 each, with the proceeds going to the respective organizations in order to continue a rich tradition on campus.

The Distraction Magazine referendum passed by 53 to 47 percent and the Ibis Yearbook referendum passed by 59 percent to 41 percent.

“I am very happy, because it ensures the publication will continue long after I’m gone,” Rori Kotch, the editor-in-chief of Distraction magazine said.

Students donate extra dining hall takeout meals to homeless

By Nadijah Campbell Staff Writer

E

very Sunday night, junior Billah Abdul-Jalaal collects takeout meals from people with leftover swipes to distribute to the homeless in downtown Miami, “just because it’s Sunday.”

The dining system at the University of Miami offers weekly meal plans, but meals don’t roll over from week to week, so meals often go unused.

“I came up with this idea last year when I had an unlimited meal plan,” he said. “I would use 20 or so swipes and I would still have, like, seven left over. I didn’t have any money to give [them], but I had takeout.”

The takeout option allows students to choose certain items from a set of prepared food options and bring them outside of the dining halls; otherwise, meals must be eaten inside the dining halls.

There are more than 4,000 homeless people in the Miami-Dade area, according to the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust. Some go days without eating and are on the brink of starvation.

As a kid, Abdul-Jalaal and his family made goodie bags for the homeless on Thanksgiving with essentials like toothbrushes and toothpaste. When he got older, he experienced homelessness in a completely different way through the lives of his friends.

“I’ve had friends who’ve definitely had tough times,” he said.

“When it’s somebody you see on a daily basis that you know, it definitely opens your eyes.”

On Sunday, he distributed about 30 meals after driving around for an hour.

The first to receive a meal was Albert, 45, who said he was sent to prison at 23 for drug charges and was released 22 years later. While in prison, both his parents passed away, leaving him without a home upon release. He also has a daughter who he is unable to see.

Madison Jackson, a junior, was excited to help the cause. She said she likes to help homeless people when she can but chooses to not give money.

“A lot of times, I just don’t have cash on me and a lot of times, as bad as it seems, I don’t know what they’re using the money for,” Jackson said. “I prefer to give exactly what they’re asking for.”

Jackson went to takeout specifically looking for hearty items and food that wouldn’t expire quickly. She chose cookies, jalapeno chips, a ham pastrami and cheese sandwich, a chocolate chip granola bar, and milk.

Abdul-Jalaal makes sure each bag has an eating utensil, a drink and a food item before giving it out. He does not want his service to become so big that the idea gets lost, but he is happy to partner with any organization willing to give food and provide more cars to reach more areas.

“Just be aware that it’s there,” he said. “You can do little things here and there. Every time that you can make a difference, make a difference.”

Before eating, Albert asked Abdul-Jalaal to bless the food. According to him, Abdul-Jalaal was God’s disciple. Albert hopes that a church in South Miami can help him find a job to make a living, but he fears that he will have to go back to doing what put him in jail if no other opportunities are presented.

“I might have to go back to doing what I know how to do,” Albert said.

Despite hearing stories like Albert’s, Abdul-Jalaal said he still does everything in his power to help the homeless population, whether it be by giving food or the change in his pocket.

“I don’t really think of the worst that can happen,” Abdul-Jalaal said. “You can’t really assume what a person has done or is going to do, you just have to have good faith.”

UPCOMING OVERPASS: Construction of the U.S. 1 pedestrian overpass progresses with the introduction of fences around the sidewalks of the proposed area. Upon completion, in approximately one year, the overpass will stretch across U.S. 1 from the Metrorail’s University Station to a redesigned Mariposa Court.

Construction of US 1 overpass begins, utilities relocated

By William Riggin News Editor

ight years after it was approved by the Miami-Dade County Commission and five months after a ceremonial groundbreaking in April, a pedestrian overpass over highway U.S. 1 recently began on-site construction. Eight University of Miami students have died while crossing the six-lane highway since 1989.

Completion is scheduled for May, according to Miami-Dade County Public Information Officer Karla Damian. The delay between the groundbreaking in April and the recent start of on-site mobilization was because of traffic plans needing approval, according to Monica Cejas, senior professional engineer at Miami-Dade Transit.

Miami-Dade Transit, the City of Coral Gables and the Florida Department of Transportation have all been involved in the project.

The company contracted for the work, ABC Construction, is now digging underground at the site to relocate utilities, including drainage pipes and electrical wiring. The underground work should last “a couple of weeks,” Damian said.

“Once they do that, the next step will be the timing of the traffic light and changing traffic,” Damian said. “We will have better knowledge of any traffic shutdowns as we get closer to that stage ... Currently we do not know where traffic will be rerouted.”

The towers that will take pedestrians up to the overpass by stair and elevator will be built, and the overpass connecting the two towers is expected to be placed on top after being built off-site. However, the prefabricated connector has not yet been built and designs for it are still being completed, according to Damian.

While UM has no power over the project’s construction, it is a project the school has endorsed for years and its administration has closely followed.

“This project is important for the university community and the community at large,” UM Spokeswoman Margot Winick said. “While we await the completion of the pedestrian bridge, we ask that the university community please be safe in your daily travels and only cross U.S. 1 at the signalized crosswalk at Mariposa Court. Your safety is the number one priority.”

ugene Rothman died Saturday, according to a statement sent to school faculty from the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Leonidas Bachas. Rothman was the associate director for academic development of the College of Arts and Sciences George Feldenkreis Program in Judaic Studies and senior fellow at the Miller Center. He was 73 years old.

“My deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers are with his widow Beatrice Rothman, as well as our colleagues in the Judaic Studies Program and Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies,” Bachas said in the statement.

Rothman was born on Aug. 26, 1942 in New York City before earning his B.A. in Middle East history at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, M.A. at Columbia University and Ph.D. at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.

He was responsible for research and academic programming at the Miller Center and served as coordinator of the Holocaust Survivors Support Internship Program and executive director of UM’s study abroad program in Israel, UGalilee.

He also spent time as a journalist, editor and translator in Israel and the United States, authoring and co -aut hor i ng eight books throughout

his years.

Haim Shaked first met Rothman 50 years ago at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

“He was an outstanding individual with a golden heart; industrious, innovative and truly caring for students,” Shaked said.

Before coming to UM, he was the founding academic director of the Canada-Israel Foundation for Academic Exchanges, and for more than 30 years was a professor at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, heading the Jewish and Middle East Studies program at its College of the Humanities.

The statement said a “modified Shiva” will be held for Rothman from Tuesday, Oct. 6 to Thursday, Oct. 8 from 7-9 p.m. at 90 Edgewater Drive, Apt. 325, Coral Gables, Fla. This is in addition to a service on Thursday, Oct. 1, at 12 p.m. at the Steeles Memorial Chapel, 350 Steeles Ave. W., Thornhill, Ontario, Canada.

Rothman advised governments, international agencies and non-governmental organizations in peace-building, peacemaking, policing and policy, and project management, according to the university website.

He is survived by his wife Beatrice Rothman.

Donna Shalala suffers stroke, ‘making jokes, alert’

LEGENDARY LEADER: Former President Donna E. Shalala, pictured at last year’s Future of the America’s Conference, suffered from a stroke soon after speaking at a Clinton Global Initiative meeting early Tuesday evening. Shalala assumed her role as President of the Clinton Foundation this fall.

onna Shalala, former UM President who stepped down this spring to lead the Clinton Foundation, suffered a stroke on Tuesday night according to a statement from former President Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea Clinton, the vice chairwoman of the foundation. The statement said she had been taken to the nearby Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital by colleagues who were with her and that “initial reports are very encouraging.”

Former President Clinton visited Shalala on Tuesday evening, according to the New York Times, who reported that she was “alert and making jokes.”

Shalala suffered the stroke after a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in New York, an organization which she brought to UM twice for CGI University meetings.

She is the only woman to serve as President of UM and helped to raise over $3 billion in fundraising during her 14 years at the school. At the end of her tenure, the school named the Shalala Student Center, a building she oversaw the construction of, after her.

UM’s current President Julio Frenk, who took over Shalala’s position in September, issued a statement wishing her a full recovery.

“On behalf of the entire University of Miami community, I wish to convey our deep concern for former UM President Donna Shalala, who suffered a stroke last night. We are in continuous contact with her physicians in New York. She received the best and most advanced care, and her prognosis is now encouraging. President Shalala is beloved and respected by thousands of Miami Hurricanes family and friends around the world, and we are very hopeful for her speedy recovery.”

“The University of Miami family is keeping former President Donna Shalala in our thoughts. We are praying for her full recovery,” UM said in a statement on its website Wednesday morning.

She was Secretary of Health and Human Services in President Clinton’s cabinet for eight years.

“We will continue to share updates as we know more,” the Clinton’s statement concluded. “Please join Hillary, Chelsea and me in keeping Donna in your thoughts and prayers.”

Dr. Dileep Yavagal, UHealth Interventional Neurologist, described two main kinds of strokes: blocked vessel and leaking vessel strokes. About 85 percent of all strokes are caused by blocked arteries in the brain, according to Yavagal. This kind of stroke may cause paralysis of one side of the body and even loss of speech or language.

However, modern standards of care allow doctors to reverse strokes caused by blockage by giving patients anti-clot medication or using a artery-dilating balloon or metal stent to reestablish blood flow. Yavagal said the rapidity with which Shalala was transported, according to reports, to the hospital will contribute to her recovery because it reduced the time that parts of her brain were without oxygen.

Student Health Fair offers wellness resources, provides free flu shots

ectic schedules and youthful confidence can lead students to neglect basic health needs. Since students might not find time to go to the Student Health Center to get a flu shot, the Student Health Center brought them straight to the students Tuesday on the Rock during the Student Health Fair.

Organized by Health Outreach Peer Educators (HOPE), the event showcased every health resource on campus. There were 15 departments represented, including the Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center, Pier 21, Counseling Outreach Peer Education, prehealth honor societies and many others.

The table providing flu shots was particularly busy, with many students taking advantage of the opportunity to get a free vaccination.

“It’s easy to get a shot and it’s good as it prevents yourself and others from getting the flu,” sophomore

Vivien Chen said. “Setting up an event like this brings more awareness, visually. People who walk by, they may not think of topics like this, but by walking by, it gives them a reason to think of it.”

Each department offered initiatives to improve students’ health and welfare. The University of Miami Police Department taught self-defense tactics and other ways to prevent harm, and the Patti and Allan Herbert Wellness Center offered free massages and gave out educational material on quitting smoking.

“I always use Mark Twain’s quote with regards to stopping smoking,” Mohammad Asad, a certified tobacco treatment specialist and coordinator of the BeSmokeFree program at UM, said. “He said, ‘Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. It’s just the thought of it.’ It took him a thousand times. It’s easier said than done sometimes, but we do offer group therapy and group counseling.”

Asad displayed two pairs of model lungs at the fair as part of his presentation. One set was healthy and red, and the other was blackened and full of tar to represent the lungs of a smoker.

Avisha Gopalakrishna, a student intern of communications at HOPE, said the fair’s location highlighted the role of HOPE in the education of the campus community.

“It’s free, in the middle of campus and takes less than five minutes to do. We hope to bring convenience in all health aspects,” she said.

Swagway riders must be cognizant of surroundings While classes can be worrying enough, getting to class can be even more stressful. When thousands of students on foot, bike and longboard try to share the sidewalks, it is bound to become chaotic. The new self-balancing scooters that have recently popped up around campus add another complication to the mix.

Welcome to a new era of Swagways and EROVER, the little devices that look like Segways without handles and make it easier for students to text on their way to class without having to put in any legwork. The self-balancing machines are controlled by simply leaning forward

and backward and, as the name suggests, claim to be relatively klutz-proof.

Undoubtedly the new gadgets are handy and flashy, but just like students who choose to walk, users should be cognizant of proper foot traffic patterns.

When students are all traveling at different speeds along the sidewalk, things can become difficult. If each student practices discretion, many collisions and lulls can be prevented.

One advantage of these new scooters is that they can slow down very easily, unlike longboards, skateboards and bicycles. When students on wheels are hurtling down the sidewalk at full speed, pedestrians in their way are forced to jump aside for their safety. However, users of the new transportation gadgets should still practice common courtesy indoors. Rolling up into an elevator

or around the dining hall is not only showing off in bad taste, but it’s also a testament to laziness.

Pedestrians can contribute their part by staying alert and keeping their eyes on the sidewalk, not on their phones. When pedestrians have their heads down and are walking on the left side of the sidewalk, it messes up the flow of traffic, particularly during crowded times.

Even when all rules are followed, the sidewalks still feel crowded and inconvenient. The campus has announced plans to widen the sidewalks around the lake, but it is clear to anyone who has traveled from Merrick to Dooley during a passing period that upgraded walkways are needed to give more elbow room for all students rushing to class, whether by foot or by wheels.

ne could point a finger at doctors for spreading the obesity epidemic in the United States by prescribing medication to patients as opposed to teaching better behaviors and healthy lifestyles. However, this judgment may be narrow-minded, to say the least. On a broader scale, American medical schools are not providing future doctors with sufficient knowledge to adapt a preventative role.

By Faizah Shareef In the U.S., the National Academy of Sciences Health Columnist sets a minimum requirement of just 25 hours of nutrition education for medical students – less than the time a student spends in class per week. With that said, doctors are not as well equipped as one would imagine to implement preventive measures for their patients. As a result, students who show specific interest in preventive care must invest more time in their education by taking fellowships after graduating from medical school, which may not be practical, considering how long it already takes to acquire a medical degree. This creates a disparity in healthcare.

A 2010 study conducted by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill concluded that in 2004, the average medical student was looking at 22.3 hours in clinical nutrition education, a number that has since then slid down to a meager 19.6 hours.

Today, only 28 medical schools out of the 105 accredited medical schools in the U.S. reach the minimum 25-hour requirement, whereas in 2004, that

number was 40 out of 104. Why this already minimal nutritional education has shrunken further is particularly puzzling, especially when we are facing a population where chronic, preventable diseases are on the rise and unhealthy food products like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s pervade daily life.

At a time when nutritional advice is needed more than ever, medical students are taught to promote Big Pharma instead. This may be because medical schools are generally strongly supported by the pharmaceutical industries, according to the American Medical Student Association’s 2009 college gradings.

Students are pushed to deliver medication after the onset of the disease due to a lack of knowledge in preventing the disease before it sprouts. This lack of expertise forces Americans to pump more money into their already-expensive healthcare system and costs patients hundreds of dollars in medical bills for illnesses that could have been avoided.

Medical schools today are creating clinicians who are trained for a much older America, where saying “eat your fruits and vegetables” would suffice.

They are still training clinicians for an antiquated population where the majority were purchasing local, farm-grown, minimally-processed produce and cows were eating what they are meant to consume before becoming beef.

They are not, however, creating physicians armed with the resources to target the new, sick population who gain empty calories from a highly synthetic laboratory diet, who remain hungry long after their bellies are full and may be the first to die earlier than their parents, according to a 2005 report published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Dr. Pauline Chen of the New York Times believes that for a population like this, clinicians have no guidance on how to prescribe long-term treatment.

Well-trained clinicians who have practiced in the art of dietary and nutritional methods and who bring medicine back to nature’s cures are our answer to this epidemic. Until that realization sinks in, more and more Americans will be sucked into an expired healthcare system.

A

By Matthew Brotz Contributing Columnist refugees during this humanitarian crisis.

After the Obama administration faced public backlash from a number of presidential hopefuls critical of the president’s plan to accept only 10,000 Syrian refugees, Secretary of State John Kerry disclosed that the U.S. will accept an additional 30,000 refugees from multiple countries over the next two years, raising the nation’s total from 70,000 to 100,000 in 2017.

To both critics and activists alike, this new proposition is a meager improvement at best. It pales in comparison to the potential one million

IT’S DISHEARTENING TO SEE WELFARE-PHOBIC POLITICIANS PLACE MONEY AHEAD OF HUMAN LIFE.

Syrian refugees Germany will accept by this year’s end. In fact, a letter signed by several former members of the Obama administration suggested that the U.S. should take in no less than 100,000 Syrian refugees alone.

Although it’s easy to blame the country’s lackluster response to this crisis on both Kerry and Obama, perhaps that would be short-sighted. Therefore, it might be a show of good faith

to consider why these leaders have failed to meet the noble demands of activists who desire that the U.S. lead the world during this catastrophe.

Historically, under Presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, the U.S. has taken in hundreds of thousands of refugees from all over the world. Kerry has cited post-9/11 screening requirements for refugees as well as the lack of congressional funding as reasons for the nation’s inability to embrace more asylum-seeking Syrians.

While it is certainly true that the additional screening efforts instituted after 9/11 complicate entry to the U.S., what is more disturbing is the opposition by Congress to supply the necessary funds to aid as many displaced Syrians as possible.

“We have been reviewing the current security vetting procedures for a number of months,” said New York Republican Representative Peter King, chair of the Homeland Security Counterterrorism and Intelligence Subcommittee at a hearing in June. “I have a number of concerns, not the least of which is the lack of on-the-ground intelligence necessary to identify terror links.”

Although there is some legitimacy to concerns about terrorist organizations like ISIS attempting to capitalize on a humanitarian crisis in order to gain access to the U.S., fearmongering politicians have used such a possibility to justify xenophobia and economic austerity. For example, Alabama Republican Senator Jeff Sessions, who is opposed to taking in more refugees, remarked that 90 percent of MiddleEastern refugees currently living in America are on food stamps and 70 percent are receiving free healthcare.

It’s time to rethink our priorities when one of the primary apprehensions against providing asylum for suffering humans is the assumption that a large portion of them will be placed on welfare upon arriving to America.

It’s disheartening to see welfare-phobic politicians place money ahead of human life. At the end of the day, will we as a nation allow greed to be prioritized above our moral obligation to help those in need?

The fact is, despite concerns over welfare, allowing in an increased number of Syrian refugees could potentially help expand the U.S. economy through the creation of more jobs and an increase in the consumption of goods. Not only is it morally imperative that the United States take in more Syrian refugees than what is currently being proposed, but it is also an opportunity to be a world leader in helping to solve the largest refugee crisis since World War II while conceivably benefiting our own economy.

Increased, focused force solution to American military shortcomings

W

ith the Reagan G.O.P. debate coming to a close on Sept. 16, the spotlight shifted away from Donald Trump and immigration laws and instead focused on foreign and military policies and national security.

There were talks about sending more arms to the Middle East by former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, as well as a heated exchange about the National Security Agency’s surveillance program and how to better utilize the military.

By Marcus Lim Contributing Columnist Throughout the debate, moderated by CNN, there was a recurring theme that all candidates shared: they all accused President Obama of weakening the country’s military and security.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio identified Obama’s tactics of utilizing force as equivalent to a “pinprick.” Rubio advocated for using more force and only employing armed forces in situations where victories are possible.

“We are not going to authorize the use of force if you are not putting the [U.S. military] in a position to win,” Rubio said.

He makes a valid point. These are soldiers’ lives that are at the disposal of the next commander-in-chief. When minimal use of force is deployed, it undermines the likelihood of soldiers’ survival.

The military operates best when it can maximize its full potential. The “pinprick,” as Rubio says, causes more harm than good, as the soldiers will be in a threatening environment without receiving the full support of U.S. firepower.

One of the biggest threats currently facing the U.S. is the extremist self-proclaimed Islamic State, ISIS. Soldiers have been sent to contain them, yet the tactic employed has had many candidates scratching their heads, including Rubio, who opposed the war in Syria due to the use of minimal force.

There are only 3,500 soldiers in Syria now. They need to be placed in a position that ensures a quicker victory and a greater number of soldiers who can return home safely. While the argument can be made that the U.S. should not send forces at all, one must remember who the enemies really are. ISIS seems to only understand one method of negotiation: violence. There is no other way to communicate with them.

What the media does not emphasize and what many do not know is that despite the unprovoked backlash against Muslims all over the world, Muslims are suffering the most out of this war. In the war on terror with ISIS and in the past with Al-Qaeda, more Muslims have been killed than individuals of any other race or religion. In 2014, the United Nations released a 26-page report on ISIS killings, which revealed that out of the 24,015 murdered, the vast majority were Muslim. While Rubio’s goal of “putting the forces in a position to win” suggests victory is the only goal in mind, sending troops over to contain the ISIS problem also helps Syrian civilians.

Innocent people in Syria are victims of ISIS, and the U.S. has the capability to help. More force must be applied in containment, if not for the sake of helping others, then for the sake of helping themselves. If the U.S. does not contain the problem, ISIS will reach these borders. The only way to stop the threat is to fight fire with fire.

So, why continue using a “pinprick” attack? For the better welfare of innocent civilians, the ensured safety of the soldiers and the greater possibility of a swift and succinct victory, Rubio’s method should be considered. Use the full might of the strongest military in the world and bring an end to the war.

Behind the Walls: Wynwood’s lesser-known delights

By Haley Walker Contributing Writer

A fully immersive visit to Wynwood is about more than just the murals. It’s well known that the former warehouse district has turned into a street

art mecca because of its outdoor artwork, but only experienced visitors know the fashion and culinary hot spots that thrive inside the painted walls.

Galleries to Glimpse Some of Wynwood’s best artistic displays are safely housed inside air conditioned galleries, so you can enjoy some cool air after a meal outdoors. Across from the main exit of the Wynwood Walls is the inconspicuous GAB – a studio that entails a gallery and boutique in one. You can find everything from a human-sized print of goldfish in a jug to handcrafted bags made of soda tabs in this unique exhibition.

Just around the corner is O. Ascanio Gallery, home to eyecatching contemporary works and

funky primary-colored sculptures.

For art lovers with an eclectic taste, Gallery 212 is the ideal destination. Find everything from oneof-a-kind leather jackets to a giant sugar skull horse sculpture here.

Another favorite is Etra Fine Art, where texture, color and shape are given free reign. This gallery has greyscale abstract murals, bright blue molds of a ram’s head and even a bedazzled Buddha.

Keep an eye out for more showrooms; there are easily 50 different galleries in the neighborhood.

OLD-FASHIONED FINDS: The Wynwood Letterpress store is stocked with stationary and unique items like vintage typewriters for sale.

STANDOUT SCULPTURE: Artistic figures like this horse piece are found for sale throughout Gallery 212, an eclectic art store with a diverse selection.

UNIQUE EATS: The charcuterie platter is a specialty at The Lunchbox.

The dish is a selection of ham, cheese and bread slices served on a rustic wooden board.

Treats to Taste Wynwood is perfect for hungry eyes and hungry bellies alike. The busy streets are budding with new restaurants that serve locally sourced, artistically crafted cuisine. The Lunchbox blends the best of worldwide food trends with the flavors of Miami. Menu highlights include everything from a charcuterie plate to the Wynwood Salad, which is a mix of kale, avocado, curried peas and spicy shrimp.

Sandwiches are served on wooden boards with the restaurant’s logo branded into the side, and water comes in a mason jar.

If you’re still not satiated, head back to Mmmm, a restaurant that features ice cream flavors like cafe con

leche and Nutella, or for extra goodness, one of the Mmmm sundaes. The chocolate chip sundae comes brimming with whipped cream, house-made ice cream and a chocolate chip cookie.

If veganism is more your speed, snack on raw chocolate cookies and milk from Jucy Lu. This hidden gem whips up some of the best smoothies and acai bowls in Miami. It’s also right across from Mister Block Cafe, a lesser-known but arguably equal alternative to Panther Coffee. Both spots are located by a shady seating area, so you can sip your smoothie or fresh brew while enjoying the outdoor murals.

Shops to Scout Perhaps the most exciting aspect of Wynwood is its array of eclectic shops.

For everything from screenprinted tees to handwoven bags, check out Frangipani’s colorful and quirky collection. Trendsetters with an eye for design will want to buy everything in the store.

If you’d rather put the design on your eyes, check out one of Wynwood’s sunglasses shops, like Illesteva, Warby Parker or Wynwood Shades. You can even find dorm decor in Wynwood.

Moooi sells reasonably priced modernist knickknacks alongside pricey design

pieces. Plant the Future sells the ever-trending succulent and cactus terrarium, one of which is in the shape of a stormtrooper helmet. Cover all of your stationary needs at Wynwood Letterpress, and when you’re all done, wash your hands with some authentic Australian soap at Aesop.

Popping into a few of these shops ties together a perfect day spent in Wynwood. After all, eating delicious food and shopping for unique trinkets beats getting whacked with a selfie stick at the Walls.

Hurricanes face tough environment Thursday night against Cincinnati

Coach draws inspiration from head of US women’s national team

ust under a year ago, the struggling Miami Hurricanes took on the Cincinnati Bearcats in a not-so-crowded Sun Life Stadium and delivered a 55-34 blowout.

While the circumstances are quite different entering Thursday night’s game, the Canes hope to recreate a similar result.

Head Coach Al Golden will bring his team into Nippert Stadium with confidence riding high following a 3-0 start to the season, unlike last year’s matchup when the Canes entered with a .500 winning percentage. During the bye week, the team was able to celebrate their game-winning kick that beat Nebraska and recover from injuries.

One key member returning is sophomore receiver Braxton Berrios, who had missed the past two games following a knee injury. In a hostile environment, sophomore quarterback Brad Kaaya will be glad to have one of his go-to receivers back on the field.

“He looks good; it doesn’t look like he got injured at all,” Kaaya said when asked about Berrios.

“With him, he’s an easy guy to throw to. It shouldn’t be an issue.

All the routes that he’s run so far, we’ve connected on pretty well.”

JUMP FOR JOY: Receiver Phillip Dorsett celebrates during last season’s game against Cincinnati, which the Canes won 55-34. The Hurricanes will look for a similar result Thursday night in Ohio.

Despite the sophomore receiver’s absence, the Hurricanes have had no trouble putting points on the board. Miami has averaged 41.7 points through three games, tied for 16th best in the nation with Tulsa.

While Cincinnati comes into the matchup at 2-2, the Bearcats have not had much trouble scoring either. Cincinnati has averaged 40.3 points in four games this season, but will be missing junior quarterback Gunner Kiel, a crucial member of the Bearcats’ offense.

The former top recruit took a nasty hit last Thursday against Memphis that left him motionless on the ground as doctors attended to him. Kiel was not cleared to return to the game and was replaced by freshman quarterback Hayden Moore.

Despite Moore being a backup, he threw for a school-record 557 yards and four touchdowns in Cincinnati’s 53-46 loss to Memphis. The freshman will also not have to fend off Hurricane safeties senior Deon Bush and junior Jamal Carter, who were both ejected

for targeting versus Nebraska and will miss the first half against the Bearcats.

While the Hurricanes’ defense may be a concern without two top safeties, both sides of the ball for Miami will face a whole different type of challenge Thursday night. For the first time this season, they’re leaving the state of Florida and facing an entirely hostile crowd.

“They’re going to feel the energy, and they know the challenge, they know the environment,” Golden said of playing in primetime at Nippert Stadium. “I’m trying to create a consistent team – a team that, wherever they are, they stay together, they communicate really well and they eliminate the bad ball. That’s going to be a challenge there.”

The Canes hopefully can lean on the performance they gave last year against Cincinnati to combat that challenge. If they don’t, the team could drop a winnable game right before entering a tough stretch in their schedule.

B

efore Mary-Frances Monroe was a four-time All-American in college and coach of the University of Miami women’s soccer team, she was a 13-yearold playing for the Olympic Development Program in New York. Her coach was Jill Ellis, who is now the head coach of the United States women’s national soccer team. That chance encounter more than two decades ago laid the foundation of a close relationship between the two coaches that continues to this day.

“She’s probably the best teacher I’ve ever had, to the point of being nervous when you try to do something in front of her because you don’t want to disappoint her,” Monroe said about Ellis. “People say, ‘You still get nervous around Jill.’

It’s because I have so much respect for her. She’s like my family. She’s like my big sister.”

Although she is not actually related to Ellis, the World Cup winner’s family has been with Monroe for most of her life. Monroe played for Ellis’s brother and father in her teens, and went on to play under Ellis on the national under-21 team and in her senior year of college at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Monroe went to the University of Connecticut for her first three years of college, but felt that she was not growing enough as a player. When she decided to transfer for her senior year, Monroe’s bond with Ellis led her to choose the Bruins.

“I definitely decided to go to UCLA because of that relationship,” Monroe said. “I knew I had one more year to play and I wanted it to be MONROE a positive experience, and Jill was just so smart, so charismatic. A big influence on my life, both on and off the field.”

The relationship only grew after Monroe finished her college career. Ellis hired Monroe to be part of the United States women’s national soccer team staff and she still continues to scout and evaluate players for the top team in women’s soccer.

“She’s great. I respected her as a player; I got to know her as a person.

She’s just a high-quality person and player,” Ellis said. “I’m really pleased that she’s here at this great institution.”

Ellis attended the team’s game on Sunday versus Clemson in a University of Miami jacket. After losing 2-1 in double overtime to the Tigers, Monroe spent the next day with Ellis.

“Guess whose couch I sat on yesterday?” Monroe joked. “Her door is always open. Jill’s door is always open to myself. I can sit on the couch and talk about soccer. I can talk about her daughter, I can talk about my family; it doesn’t have to be just about soccer. That’s what a great person she is.”

Ellis even made time to grab coffee with Monroe and her friends on the day of the United States women’s national soccer team’s match versus Sweden in the World Cup. “That just tells you what kind of person she is. She will take time out of the day, a very important day,” Monroe said. “She’ll always take the time to have me around, which I think is so special.”

The Hurricanes are off to a tough start this season with three wins and seven losses, but in her third year as head coach, Monroe is still learning. Fortunately, she has the best teacher in the game to guide her.

October 1 - October 4, 2015 asking them out, but no matter my approach, I always end up being met with the same dreaded response: “I like you, but I’m not looking for a relationship right now.” I’m getting frustrated and am not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Either way, I’ve decided to enter the “new age” by taking my search online. How can I avoid creeps while I expand my search?

Dear V, As a young college girl in a metropolitan city, it’s difficult to find guys who are looking for more than just a hookup. I don’t have anything against those who have a “hit it n’ quit it” mentality, as college is the prime time for no-strings-attached arrangements, but that’s just not me.

I’ve tried going to bars, approaching guys and even meeting them in my classes and becoming their friend first before

Sincerely, Virtual Veronica Dear Veronica, Good news: despite what your parents warned you about strangers and the deep-seeded fear that Chris Hansen gave you of all things Internet-related through “To Catch a Predator,” not everyone you talk to online is a creep in a white van hoping to snatch you up. Rather than shying away from the Internet

THE MIAMI HURRICANE completely, it’s best to simply keep your identity safe and proceed with caution. After all, the Internet is a useful tool that can connect you to thousands of people across the globe... as long as you use it wisely.

It’s important to make sure you don’t give out sensitive information like your full name, telephone number, address or employer. However, you don’t have to bite your nails over someone knowing your favorite show is “Friends” or that you’re too fond of Thai food for your wallet’s own good.

Truth is, you’re not the only 20-something out there who’s trying to find something real. In a major city, people have busy schedules and don’t have time to date as much as they’d like to, so they make online profiles and message people instead.

Don’t think of online dating as being bogus – it’s just a trickle-down result of our modern-day dependence on technology.

While your grandparents may have first met by bumping into each other at their local coffee shop, you

DEAR V

may meet your boyfriend through a “poke” or a “like.”

Sure, it’s not as magical or romantic, but hey – at least you know he’s interested in what you’ve written about yourself. But if it seems he’s only messaging you because of your pictures and didn’t bother to read your profile, don’t bite back. Meeting someone online first gives you the opportunity to be real and find mutual interests rather than make awkward, giggling chatter or give them false flattery on a first date. This is the only real advantage it has over real life, so seize it.

Ultimately, keep up your search in real time, too. But use online dating wisely and you may find yourself on one of those dinky testimony commercials in a few years.
