Drumbeats and ukulele solos echo through the halls of Eaton’s second floor, home of the Audio Abode.

Junior Sharif Ahmed, presi-dent of the floor, got 18 students together to create the Abode, a kind of special interest housing, last year.

“I like having all my friends around and the ability to put on music programming,” Ahmed said.

Though the majority of the students are music engineering t e c h n o l o g y majors, a few n o n - m u s i c majors chose to live on the floor.

“I want-ed to be with friends who like music because I don’t get the chance to in-teract with them in my other classes,” said sophomore Joe Kleiman, a meteorology major.

Sophomore Haylie Schro-eder, the floor liaison, is a nursing major.

“I play guitar and write mu-sic. I figured living on a floor with music people would help me learn more about it,” she said.

Because the Audio Abode’s musical talents range from tenor

sax to bass guitar, there is a wide variety of music programming. The floor is having its first open mic night Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. in the Eaton lobby. Though this event has been planned for weeks, much of the music the students make happens sporadically in the dorms.

“We have jam sessions mul-tiple times a week,” sophomore Matt Kyrpie said.

In addition to jam sessions, Schroeder said the floor has monthly group dinners and has attended laser light shows at the Miami Science Museum’s plan-etarium.

Though the floor is only in its first year, it has already looked into some ambitious projects.

Sophomore Jake Wasserman, the floor’s vice presi-dent, already has the floor’s future planned out.

“We div-vied up the floor into bands, and we are planning to release an Audio Abode compilation CD at the end of the year,” Wasser-man said.

Though the constant stream of music would upset some stu-dents, the Audio Abode revels in the noise.

“Our floor t-shirts say ‘Where Music Never Sleeps.’ It’s true,” Schroeder said.

October 4 - October 6, 2010 THE MIAMI HURRICANE NEWS 3

UM police are warning drivers to keep a closer eye on their cars.

On both the Coral Gables and Miller School of Medicine campuses, catalytic converters are being stolen from parked cars. Over the past year six con-verters have gone missing, two of which have been taken from the Coral Gables campus this semester.

According to UMPD Lt. Michael Colombo, a catalytic converter is a pol-lution-control device that is attached to the exhaust pipe. It contains the precious metals platinum and rhodium, which are the catalysts that react with a car’s hot exhaust to minimize the damage caused to the environment by carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.

By law, every car made after 1975 is required to have at least one.

“In the cases we have seen, it ap-pears the thieves used saws to cut off the device,” Colombo said.

He explained that it can be done in a matter of minutes. All it takes is two short cuts to the exhaust pipe on both sides of the converter and the job is done.

The victim of the theft will still be able to drive the car, according to an article on the car information Web site Edmunds.com. There may be additional damage, however, if the thieves were sloppy, not to mention the increased envi-ronmental impact the car will now have.

The precious metals are what drive thieves to crawl under cars and saw off the catalytic converter: an ounce of plati-num sells for $2,000, while an ounce of rhodium can be sold for $9,500 according to a notice from the police.

The catalytic converter would be sold for $150 to $200, depending on the metals found inside. Replacing it would be more costly. The device itself is not so expensive, some selling for $60. Add the cost of installation plus other possible damages, and that amount could go up to $1,000. If the targeted car is an SUV or a truck, the price would be even higher.

“I’m a little worried about [the rob-beries], but, honestly, I think I’d take my chances,” commuter student sophomore Erik Jorge said.

The problem may not be so wide-spread, but those who don’t want to take their chances can take certain precau-tions to protect their catalytic convert-ers. Some options UMPD suggests are welding the device to the frame of the vehicle, engraving the license plate on the converter to make it traceable or buying a vehicle security system that can be trig-gered with the slightest motion.

There is also a device that could be purchased called the CatClamp. It is a cage that is placed around the catalytic converter, which can be bought for $150, a far more favorable fee than the possible replacement costs.

Director of Parking and Transpora-tion Richard Sobaram is confident that UMPD and his department are well equipped to protect the UM parking lots, preventing students and faculty from having to pay those costs.

“Parking officers serve as extra eyes and ears for the police department and every parking officer receives special training from UMPD on crime aware-ness and how to spot and report suspi-cious behavior,” Sobaram said.

Laura Yepes may be contacted at [email protected].

Mango and Manny’s, Salsaritas, Sbarros and, of course, the residential dining halls are all famil-iar breakfast and lunch options for students. Those yearning for a less familiar option, though, can head to Sebastian’s Café, UM’s newest dining option lo-cated inside the new Alumni Center.

With menu items ranging from bacon and egg bagels to smoked turkey and red pepper wraps, the new cafe is open to alumni and students.

Sebastian’s Café was one key component of the Alumni Center that was included in the early stages of the new building’s plan.

The food, however, is not the only distinguish-ing factor of the cafe.

According to Chalece Erixon, director of the Alumni Center, Sebastian’s Café is intended to be a new on-campus gathering place with a distinct at-mosphere.

“It will end up being a place where students, alumni, faculty and community members will pull together and find themselves in a place where they usually would not be found together,” Erixon said. “You’re going to have a real mix-match of people. Some in business suits, some on their day off and some students headed to class”.

The patio outside of Sebastian’s Café will soon boast an 8-foot tall bronze statue of Sebastian the Ibis. Staff members of the Alumni Center hope this statue, the menu and the building’s attractive design draw students’ attention.

“I want to try it out because I want to check out the new building,” sophomore Stephanie Fleitas said. “The menu seems delicious and the prices look affordable”.

For now, the cafe is only open for breakfast and lunch and promptly closes after 2:30 p.m. The hours of operation, however, will be altered if necessary.

“The cafe is very pretty and has reasonable pricing. Just like the food court, students can use their Cane Cards,” Erixon said. “We really want it to be a melting pot of people. Everyone is welcome”.

Gandhi Day of Service at the University of Miami made a great-er impact in the community with fewer participants.

Although fewer people came out on Saturday to volunteer at this year’s Gandhi Day, the initiative still managed to rally many stu-dents that had never participated in a university service day before.

Sophomore Jenna Oin, a site leader for Gandhi Day, said that she was unfamiliar with past ser-vice days.

“I didn’t know about Orienta-tion Outreach this year, and I didn’t do Gandhi Day last year, but since becoming a part of Alpha Epsilon Delta (the Health Preprofessional Honor Society) I’ve been opened up to a lot of things,” Oin said.

During the opening ceremo-nies of the event, Vice President for Student Affairs Pat Whitely reminded the volunteers of the im-portance of their dedication to the surrounding community.

“Miami is a city that needs a lot of help, and there are a lot of peo-ple that could use your assistance,” Whitely said.

This year, the focus of the ser-vice day was shifted to the commu-nity and maximizing the impact that hundreds of people can have in a particular area.

“Gandhi Day isn’t meant to be that life-changing experience that students have that will push them to engage in community service for the rest of their lives,” said Gandhi Day Co-Chair Joon Chung. “It’s meant to be a chance for the stu-dents to get into the community and make a difference.”

Last year’s Gandhi Day fea-tured 40-to-50 small volunteer sites with 10-to-20 volunteers each, with a total of 1,200 volunteers. This year there were only 12 sites with 50-to-120 volunteers, with a total of 750 students helping out.

“It’s losing its specializing quality, but we wanted to try some-thing different,” Chung said. “No matter what they do, they will still be serving the community.”

October 4 - October 6, 2010 THE MIAMI HURRICANE OPINION 5

People love to camp out. In-stead of enjoy-

ing the outdoors, however, most camp-ing trips actually en-tail waiting lines for anything from mov-ies to video games.

Life is one big wait in line, but cer-

tain individuals love to show their sup-port and fanboy-ism by shaving off even more of their already compromised days to give companies their hard earned money and be amongst “the first” to in-dulge in whatever is being offered.

Being “the first” is a bit of a misno-mer, however, because if you go to see the midnight showing of Harry Potter at your local theater, you are only at one of many theaters in the country also show-ing that same film. And when you dress up as a Hogwarts student, people aren’t applauding your efforts, but acknowl-edging that there’s a reason you haven’t been laid recently. Not to mention these movies were filmed months, or even years in advance, so before you’ve even laid eyes upon it or heard about the proj-

ect, others have already seen the film and moved on.

Lining up for the newest iPhone or video game is pretty counter intuitive too. You think you’re showing your sup-port and love for your favorite products, but the media will show these acts truth-fully: as a mass gathering for the unem-ployed.

If you’re waiting in line for the new-est Xbox, you should know by now the first generation of any console is suscep-tible to hardware flaws and will probably become an expensive brick within a year.

This silly conduct encourages major production countries like China to ramp up their work efforts and slash wages. Top executives at these companies laugh their way to the bank while the consum-ers wallow in debt, buying things they can’t afford and realizing only after it’s too late, after the novelty has worn thin.

I love the iPhone too, but I’m not go-ing to lose days of sleep sitting in front of a strip mall to obtain one; it’s not the Holy Grail after all.

”“

This November, a ballot initiative to suspend the Global Warming Solutions Act will be up for public vote in the state of California. If passed, it will put this act on hold until the state unemploy-ment rate falls to 5.5 percent or lower for at least four consecutive quarters.

Signed into law by Governor Arnold Schwar-zenegger in 2006, the Global Warming Solutions Act required that by the year 2020, California’s carbon emissions would dramatically reduce by 25 percent. It puts a cap on the amount of greenhouse gases that industrial companies can emit into the atmosphere in California. This ground-breaking act was necessary because carbon dioxide, a green-house gas, has been largely responsible for the hole in the ozone layer.

Also known as Proposition 23 and “Califor-nia Job Initiatives,” the ballot initiative trying to put an end to the act is being funded by tea party fundraisers and out of state industrialists.

The suspension of the Global Warming Solu-tions Act would not only be harmful to the state

of California, but to the entire country. The United States is one of the few industrialized nations that does not have a national cap on greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore it’s up to individual states to set their own caps.

If big businesses and oil companies can strike down an environmental law in one state, what’s to keep them from doing so in others? This will send a message to lawmakers across the country that even in one of the nation’s greenest states, voters do not support carbon-cutting legislation.

Do we really want big businesses controlling our nation’s environmental policy?

In times of economic crises, citizens tend to lose support for environmental issues. But envi-ronmental and economic goals are not mutually exclusive, and we shouldn’t let business interests convince us otherwise.

CampusLIVE.com:simplifying student life

Ever wonder what it would be like to have access to all things going on around your college campus at once?

Now you can with the help of Cam-pusLIVE.com. Launched only a year and a half ago, CampusLIVE includes 225 college campus profiles and plans to reach 500 by the end of the month. The site is created for students by students and has all your col-lege needs in one place. You can find out information ranging from what restaurants deliver late during a midnight study break or who is in your organic chemistry class.

“It is a convenient page for students on campus to connect with each other,” said Ryan Durkin, co-founder of CampusLIVE.

He and Boris Revsin, graduates from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, came up with the idea, using a format simi-lar to Facebook.

“We are not competing with Facebook, but rather using it as a leverage,” Durkin said.

The thing that sets CampusLIVE apart is that users do not have to be a registered member to use it or to view other user’s profiles. After creating a registered profile, the Web site links users to their friends who have both a Facebook account and a Cam-pusLIVE account. It also provides custom-ized links based on the user’s interests, which include Web sites like miami.edu, UMail, Blackboard, MyUM, Richter Library, Hur-ricanesports.com and a map of campus.

Like on other social networks, Cam-

pusLIVE users will be able to post com-ments using a live feed. They can also cus-tomize their homepage, linking to favorite Web sites.

CampusLIVE’s homepage also has the latest breaking news stories, weather fore-casts and personalized to-do lists.

“I would and I have suggested other students try this site because I think it is a very helpful tool in providing all the com-monly visited links for the school on hand in one area,” sophomore Shersil Prentice said. “My favorite thing is definitely the TV Guide link. But honestly, I love absolutely everything about it. It really is a very viable tool.”

‘Urine’ for a treat with Ring’s new musical

Imagine a world where using the restroom whenever necessary is con-sidered “indulging in a whim.” Imag-ine a city where pollution is lurking in every corner. Imagine a society where sporting dirty faces, muddy skirts and petticoats are commonplace because the use of hydraulics is “worth its weight in gold.”

“Urinetown,” the Jerry Her-man Ring Theatre’s first musical of the season, is set in a place where all those imaginings become a reality; a reality sprinkled with humor, that is. The musical ridicules overly idealistic musicals and is set in a society that is highly reminiscent and as oppressive as that of George Orwell’s “1984” or Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.”

The plot revolves around an ex-treme drought that has left the gov-ernment no other option but to tax citizens for the use of toilets. Eventu-ally, the citizens become fed up with the “taxation for urination” and start a revolution.

“Urinetown,” as put on by the cast from UM's Department of The-atre Arts, is filled with spontaneous comical actions and unexpected oc-currences. The musical is far from predictable; characters interact with the audience about as often as they do with each other, much to the audi-ence’s delight.

Other than a few minor mishaps (only once or twice did orchestras play music too early, and characters followed too late), the musical does its duty to alert society of the eventual causes of environmental damage and decontrol of natural, nonrenewable resources.

The dialogue, wittily worded, comically feeds the audience an exag-gerated version of the earth’s eventual fate if they choose not to tackle the issues addressed in the musical. "Uri-netown" is a must-see for all musical aficionados on campus, as hidden po-litical messages and new insights are provided with oodles of laughs.

THEATRE REVIEW

October 4 - October 6, 2010 THE MIAMI HURRICANE SPORTS 9

When an offensive play was needed for the No. 13 Miami Hurricanes, senior captain Leonard Hankerson was the answer.

The defense was stellar, totaling six take-aways, and senior kicker Matt Bosher was clutch as usual. Hankerson, however, was the real story as the Hurricanes (3-1, 1-0) defeated Clemson (2-2, 0-1) 30-21 in Death Valley Sat-urday afternoon.

“That was a huge ACC first victory for us,” head coach Randy Shannon said. “I’m very excited about the way this team per-formed. We’ve come a long way. We came on the road in a hostile environment, played hard offensively and defensively.”

Hankerson became the first Hurricane

receiver to tabulate three touchdowns in one game since Santana Moss had three touch-downs receptions against Rutgers in 1998.

“It’s a great feeling but the season is not over yet,” Hankerson said. “We just wanted to come out, make plays so we could get going.”

On the Hurricanes’ second drive, redshirt freshman Lamar Miller found the end zone but was negated by a Hankerson holding pen-alty. That was his only blemish of the day.

Hankerson had touchdown grabs for 22, 65 and seven yards and finished with seven catches for 147 yards.

“In film we saw some key mistakes they made in their previous games that we knew we [would] have a shot at,” Hankerson said. “That’s what we did, we capitalized.”

Right after an interception from sopho-more safety Ray-Ray Armstrong at the end of the first half, Hankerson scored his third touchdown on a slant route.

The play was designed to go to junior wide receiver Aldarius Johnson on a corner

route in the back of the end zone but John-son was doubled covered. Harris then hit his check-down, Hankerson, across the middle for a seven-yard touchdown to go into halftime with a 27-14 lead.

“Hank is a leader all around,” said Damien Berry, who had 101 rushing yards on 24 carries. “Anytime he has a chance to shine and you have to get him the ball. He had an all around total game.”

So far it looks like Hankerson made the right move returning for his senior year. He has already matched his touchdown total (six) from all of last season. Hankerson is averaging 97 yards a game and 17 yards per catch.

“If he didn’t have a drop, I’m OK with him,” Shannon joked. “But Hankerson has always been the guy. He has worked hard. He has the confidence. Hank has been through a lot and that has made him mentally tough.”

According to Shannon, Hankerson has always been one of his favorite players. The coach personally recruited him from St.

Thomas Aquinas High School in Ft. Lauder-dale. Shannon has always stressed to Hanker-son the importance of being a team player.

“Last week he didn’t get much action,” due to Hankerson being double teamed against Pittsburgh, Shannon said. “This week he made some really, really great catches in traffic which was huge for us.”

SPORTS BRIEFSWOMEN’S SOCCERThe women’s soccer team got its first ACC win of the season with its 3-0 win over the Clemson Tigers at Riggs Field in South Carolina. Senior Brittney Steinbruch’s as-sist in the 58th minute tied her with Britney Butcher as the program’s all-time leading scorer with 73 points. The Canes will play at Cobb Field on Thursday against the Duke Blue Devils.

WOMEN’S TENNISThe women’s tennis team kicked off one of college tennis’ biggest events of the year, the 2010 ITA/Riviera All-American Champi-onship, on Saturday. Junior Gabriela Mejia and freshman Kayla Rizzolo were both unable to make it out of the prequalifying singles round. They were still set up to play doubles, however.

CROSS-COUNTRYFreshmen Connor Adams and Brooke Dovell had successful races once again as

the Canes came back from competing in the Ninth Annual Greater Louisville Classic. Dovell ran the 5K course in 18:23.88, and the men all managed to improve on their 8K times. The Canes will be off and running again on Oct.15 at Stetson’s Hatter Invitational.

SWIMMING AND DIVINGThe swimming and diving team kicked off its season Friday at the Florida Invitational in Gainesville. After one day of action, the women’s swimming team sat in third place, with its best showing of the day coming on the 400-yard medley relay, where the Canes beat last year’s personal best time, finishing in 3:45.14.

October 4 - October 6, 2010 THE MIAMI HURRICANE DEAR V 11

dear ...Dear V: ‘What’s love got to do with it?’

Dear V,

I’m starting to appreciate that question that Tina Turner asked in the ‘80s: “What’s love got to do with it?” Of course, like most people, I want to be loved. But I’ve been on that path enough to know that I’m not ready, nor do I have the time. I’m at the end of my college career, preparing to enter the real world and hopefully kick some ass. But it’s that little thing called sexual desire that keeps me dating, that keeps me exerting energy I don’t have for guys who end up complaining that they “don’t know their place in my world.” Eek! I just want some good sex and snuggling. I had that with my ex-boyfriend, and I’ve found it’s hard to find without risk. I want to ask him if he would like to have something regular, with no strings attached this time around. The problem is, I don’t know how to ask him about it without making it sound like I only want him for his penis. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

Too Busy to Love

Dear Too Busy to Love,

I completely understand and respect the whole “ca-reer-first” angle you’re taking with your life. Often, many people easily become distracted by things, such as rela-tionships, that hinder their initial goals and slow them down.

Fortunately for you, we live in a city where strictly sex is understood by many. Your dilemma, however, is slightly different. You wish to seek out a casual relation-ship with your ex.

This could go one of four ways in my mind: You both could agree that you want to keep things open and casual and explore a strictly sexual relationship with one anoth-er. You could find that this is a successful setup. How-ever, you two could also rekindle whatever flame you had initially and subsequently fall back into the complacency and convenience of a somewhat distracting relationship.

The third option is that your ex gains feelings for you once more and you are left trying to get yourself out of a completely undesirable situation. The final road it could take would be your ex completely rejecting your offer and never wishing to communicate with you again.

I, being the eternal optimist, would hope that this person would at least be willing to hear out the offer. But I’m optimistic, not psychic.

I suggest you bring up the offer, in a very light man-ner, and see what his reaction is. If it does not pan out, there are many other individuals in this city that could provide semi-casual companionship.

But, more importantly, I also suggest that you reflect on what you really want: someone to rely on for casual sex and snuggling without the drama that usually is in-volved with a relationship. Perhaps you would like to be in a relationship with someone, just someone who is equally invested in his career and ambitions. This would provide sexual reliability and quality snuggle time. You would share the ideals of one another’s career paths as the fore-front of the relationship, and you could actually act as a support system for the other.

Decisions, decisions, my ambitious friend.

Best,

V
