Engineers give hacking new meaning

When the topic of hacking is brought up, a common thought that arises is that of an ac-tion movie character sneaking into a computer database to access information. When students gather at the University of Miami this month to hack for 21 hours, however, they will not be en-gaging in negative mischievous tasks. Instead, they will be hacking for improvement.

The fourth annual hackathon will be kick-ing off this year’s “Engineering Week.” U-Hack will begin at 11 p.m. on Feb. 21 and continue through 1 p.m. on Feb. 22. in the center ball-room of the Student Activities Center.

The U-Hack team is made up of executive board officers from the student chapter of the In-stitution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and, this year, it is sanctioned by Major League Hacking, the largest nonprofit hack-athon that helps hackathons across the country.

Senior Christian Perez, president of IEEE, explained that hackathons are “open-ended coding competitions” that allow for students to be creative in their projects. Students can either start from scratch or choose something that has

been previously created to improve its function-ality or purpose.

At the end, the projects are demonstrated to judges who determine whether the team wins prize money or other prizes.

“Participants generally focus on creating apps for mobile platforms, but the scope of the competition extends to web-development, soft-ware programs and even hardware creations,” Perez said.

Judges look for creativity, technical chal-lenge, functionality, marketability and ease of use, according to Perez.

“Students not only have to worry about the technical coding challenge, but also the end-user and how one might sell the product,” he said.

Under this year’s theme of “Hack for a Better U,” students will be given the task of im-proving a platform or device by building proj-ects for the benefit of improving one’s lifestyle. The theme allows students to use any platform, framework or hardware device they choose to make something better.

“Whatever will make you or others just a little bit more efficient, healthier, or just worry a little less is what we’re hoping to see,” Perez said.

U-Hack consists of mostly UM attendees, but it also attracts students from universities across the country since it is nationally sanc-tioned. It is open to students of all majors, and no coding or technical experience is required.

“You can have the engineers work on the programming side of it, while people who are, let’s say, public relations, can figure out how to they can use social media to promote it,” said sophomore Alexander Ruhlman, who serves as chairman of U-Hack and works with a team of five other executive board members from IEEE.

For those participating who want to learn but don’t have as much experience, the men-tors that sponsors bring in are available to help, along with other hackers, since it is a group ef-fort. Ruhlman explained that asking others at the event was how he was able to learn his first time.

There are three main things Ruhlman wants participants to learn.

“One: Together as a team, you can accom-plish more,” he said. “Two: As long as you put your mind to it and put in all your effort, you can create the most innovative and extravagant projects nobody has ever seen. Three: This is one of the only chances you get to communicate with students from around the world, put the best ideas into action, and have fun, all while experience what the University of Miami has to offer.”

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BREAKING NEWS

University to launch redesigned website Ring Theatre director retires

Navigating the University of Miami’s webpage may become a new and exciting experience in the coming weeks. A rede-signed website will be launching either later this month or in early March.

Web and Digital Communications and Marketing, a team working in Univer-sity Communications, got the opportunity to create a redesigned website about a year ago and has been hard at work trying to im-prove the university’s online software.

The team, headed by Robert Yunk, had four very specific goals in mind when the project began. These were to establish a more adequate primary tool to build and manage website content, publish and gov-ern a library of global experience materials that can be used to design websites and other digital products, manage an inven-

tory UM web sites and web people, and work with people in UMIT to strengthen hosting options and hosting standards.

Yunk also mentioned that students and faculty will see the biggest changes in the top-tier pages on the website. The web-site’s “front-door” was the team’s number one concern, as it had not been updated since 2008.

Although redesigning the website was a complex process, Yunk said it ultimately came down to information intake. Current students, prospective students, faculty, staff and alumni were all surveyed before the team started to redesign the website.

Yunk thinks this was crucial in creat-ing a website that was best suited for every-one involved with the university.

“We reported [the information from surveys] monthly to an advisory group consisting of people who manage the pri-mary sites linking from our homepage,” he said. “All of this intake has helped us a lot.”

Overall, the team believes that the re-design will help students, faculty and alum-ni navigate the website in a much simpler

manner. All components of the website will be much more unified once the rede-sign is complete, and this should allow for more efficient use.

Yunk said the standard scheme throughout the site will “help anyone browsing the website feel more grounded,” as all sites and pages will appear the same regardless of the device being used to ac-cess the webpage.

Although huge strides have been made in the redesign of the webpage, Yunk insists that there is still more work to be done.

The team’s ultimate goal is to create a system that can assist all areas of the uni-versity in building and managing their own sites.

“I’m extremely proud of all we’ve done working as a team so far, but I’m re-ally focused on continuing to strengthen and build,” Yunk said.

Anyone interested in joining other students work-ing on the redesign team can email [email protected].

In a memorandum sent to the Department of Theatre Arts, Professor Henry Fonte announced that he stepped down from his roles as the Producing Ar-tistic Director of the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre and director of Conservatory Programs Wednesday.

After serving for five seasons at the Ring, Fonte will retire at the end of the spring 2015 semester to pursue independent projects.

During Fonte’s time at the university, Theatre Arts es-tablished significant collaborations with the Adrienne Arsht Center, FundArte and the Tectonic Theatre Project in produc-ing “Carmen: an Afro-Cuban musical.”Additionally, Fonte oversaw the modernization of the Jerry Herman Ring The-atre operations and expanded UM’s Guest Artists Program, which brings artists to work alongside students in productions.

Architecture class contributes to Underline plan

While Friends of the Underline plan the transformation of 10 miles’ worth of land under Miami’s Metrorail, a University of Miami ar-chitecture class is helping out by visualizing the transformation of the Brickell and University Metrorail stations.

Professor Jacob Brillhart got involved after a different UM class taught by profes-sor Rocco Ceo worked with the Underline last spring. That class had students designing mile-long sections of the 10-mile project and the work they did has provided a base for Brill-hart’s class.

“They came up with a master plan but they felt it needed a bit more development, so they thought, why don’t we run one more course?” Brillhart said.

Meg Daly, the Underline’s founder, wants to turn Metrorail stations into attractions, which she hopes would help get more com-muters to use the Metrorail and help cut down on car emissions. The Brickell and University stations were chosen as the focus of the class.

“There’s already a lot of development west of Brickell station,” Daly said. “The tran-sit station is going to be at the center of Brick-ell development. There’s already this usership here, at both stations, between the students, fac-ulty, and employees … I think the University station can be an entrance for the school.”

The Underline recently announced five design consulting firms as finalists to design the official master plan, but the work done by these classes will be presented to the public and the

firms. Brillhart hopes they will use some of the ideas that develop from his class designs.

“I think one of the biggest challenges is how to take a train station and turn it into a destination, and not just a piece of transition,” Brillhart said. “Instead of people just moving through the station, we want people to maybe stop and have a cup of coffee – make it an ac-tual place where people go.”

A separate class taught by professor Charles C. Bohl is looking at the real estate and urban strategy issues involved in a project like

this, according to Brillhart. The zoning around the Metrorail stations has been cited as a major obstacle. Supporters of the project hope the city will allow commercial zoning to promote busi-ness around the stations.

Natalie Paulino, one of 13 students in Brillhart’s class, believes the Underline is just what Miami needs as the city’s population grows and commuting in a car becomes harder.

“As a student who moved to Miami to at-tend university, I have found it hard to navigate the city without a car,” said Paulino. “Even with a car, arriving to your final destination in Miami is usually cumbersome and the roads are constantly congested with vehicular traf-fic.”

Acccording to Paulino, their research found that transit stations are used in more ways than just transportation.

“A train station functions as a social gath-ering point, a commercial center and public space,” said Paulino.

Funding for the Underline’s master plan has been completed, and the design consulting firm that will create that plan will be chosen soon. Daly hopes that after the master plan is presented in public hearings, funding for the construction can be garnered quickly. With the support of Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez and Mi-ami-Dade County, Daly hopes they can begin construction by 2016 if all goes well.

STAFF EDITORIAL

Canes should shift focus to futureThe University of Miami

football team has faced its fair share of criticism these past few seasons, yet signing day has al-ways served as a date that can re-turn optimism to the program.

According to a composite recruitment ranking compiled by Rivals.com, UM enters this sign-ing day at No. 26. Even with a rough season, this ranking is low for Miami standards. Last year’s signing class ranked at No. 12 and included only one five-star recruit.

The results of this year’s signing day should come as no surprise. For more than a decade, UM has had inconsistent sea-sons, and the team underwent an NCAA investigation that lasted about two years. It’s time to accept that the Hurricanes should no lon-ger think of themselves as a foot-

ball powerhouse with top recruits lining outside the door.

For starters, Miami has com-petition for recruits from other Florida universities and top Divi-sion I schools. Given the pull that schools like Florida State and the University of Florida may have, even for a program with the tra-dition of UM, bringing in top re-cruits is no longer a rite of passage. UM should look more toward its backyard for recruits who would like to stay close to home.

Recruits are also looking to attend a school where they will be most successful. If Miami contin-ues with its lackluster performance on the field and on the sidelines, then the probability of winning an-other championship is unrealistic.

Let’s not get bogged down with the lack of a five-star recruits

or whatever ranking Rivals.com gives the class. These elements only paint part of next season’s picture.

Coaches should develop the skills of the players we already have – the ones who want to be Canes. The personnel needs to support these recruits not only for the greater good of the team, but also for the players in whatever they choose to pursue after their time at the university.

As a program, UM should push forward and make the best of its new recruits. With good for-tune, a successful 2015 campaign will aid continued progress for a top five 2016 recruiting class.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THE FOOTBALL TEAM

NEXT YEAR?

We’ve all met this type of girl: while she sits drink-ing beer with a large

group of guys, she casually men-tions that she doesn’t have as many girl friends as guy friends. As girls ourselves, why do we champion platonic relationships with men but condemn friendships with mem-bers of our own sex? Why is a girl considered so much cooler when she has a lot of guy friends?

As women, we need to start respecting our sisterhood. When a girl brags that she has “more guy friends than girl friends,” we shouldn’t be impressed – we should feel sorry for her. Her belief that her friendship with men is somehow superior to that with women is insulting, because it insinuates that there is something fundamentally wrong with women.

Why is the friendship with guys better, is it because guys are better than women? I love my friends. They are my confidants, my partners in crime, my support sys-tem, and they are mostly women. I don’t think that is lame or pathetic ... I think that it is awesome.

Let’s show society that female friendship isn’t filled with drama, competition and bitchiness, but with laugh-

ter, support and incredible conversations. Let’s admire the television, movies and media that have shown us these healthy relationships between women. Watch “Sex and the City” and admire how well the show rep-resents true female friendship. As Charlotte says in one episode, “the women are each other’s soulmates, and men are just something fun on the side.”

Let’s change the conversation and make “sis-mance” as common as “bromance,” because it should be. Find a female friendship like Christina and Meredith, and find your best friend. When you see that girl at the bar bragging about her lack of girl friends, tell her how you think that hurts women.

Let her know that she’s only perpetuating bad ste-reotypes. Tell her you feel sorry that she hasn’t found her sisterhood yet. If you are the girl at the bar bragging about your guy friends, do your fellow ladies a favor and stop feeding this stereotype.

You’re undermining all the incredible female friendships that we have. Also, do yourself a favor: find yourself a group of supportive, amazing sisters and be proud that you have mostly girl friends, because you might find that your girl friends are cooler than your guy friends.

6 OPINION THE MIAMI HURRICANE February 5 - February 8, 2015

Universities do not lack reasons to discontinue NCAA college football activities — e.g., the cost of the program, the issue of player com-

pensation and the impact of scandals on the insti-tutional brand. But it is the sheer brutality of the sport and its concussive consequences that should prevail over all other concerns.

As reported in “The Little Red Book of Foot-ball Wisdom,” former Michigan State University coach Duffy Daugherty defined the nature of foot-ball bluntly: “Football isn’t a contact sport — it’s a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.”

Today, though college players rarely die as a direct result of practicing football, which unfortunately is not the case for high school players, the risk to their cognitive functions is becoming increasingly evident.

Indeed, research findings are worrisome at various levels. First, it would seem that the number of reported concussions (i.e., brain injuries) is on the rise in recent years, although it could well be that brain trauma was underreported or undiagnosed in the past or that the number of football programs has increased.

In the latest published analysis of 15 NCAA sports injuries from 1988-1989 to 2003-2004, football accounted for 48 percent (4,404) of all concussions in games and practices. More recently, the NCAA reported that concussions represented 7.4 percent (about 3,034) of all injuries in college football from 2004-2005 to 2008-2009.

Second, published health literature has revealed that college foot-ball players who suffer multiple concussions can expect a longer neuro-cognitive recovery time than those who experience a single concussion. In addition, the link between recurrent concussions and long-term cog-

nitive impairments among non-professional football players is gaining support.

For instance, 42-year-old former Western Illinois wide receiver Mike Borich, who may have sustained 9-10 concussions as a high school and college football player, died of a drug overdose in February 2009. He was subsequently diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative neurological disease that was previously detected in deceased NFL players.

The full impact of concussions and sub-concussive shocks on brain activity and cognitive performance among college football players is still unclear. It is possible that a single concussion could do more damage than previously anticipated. For instance, a small study in the journal Radiology recently found that “a single concussive episode can result in global and regional brain atrophy 1 year after injury.” In that case, one concussion would be one too many.

NCAA football players are student athletes and the responsibility of schools themselves. Unless these institutions can guarantee the near-absence of concussions or even milder traumatic brain injuries through a radical revamping of college football rules, the mandatory use of preemptive sensor-based helmet technology (“airbags” for football hel-mets), or other means, they should abolish their football programs for the safety of their players. The same argument goes for other NCAA sports that are concussion-prone.

I hope that readers, especially football fans, will remember that col-lege football should never turn into a tragedy for its players. Measures to prevent cognitive risks in college football are long overdue.

MICHEL DUPAGNECONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST

Fix football safety issues or stop playingI was disappointed in the “Fashion

Crimes Committed on Campus” article in the Feb. 2 edition of The Miami Hur-ricane. I can tell that the author/illustra-tor tried to include some diversity among the culprits of these fashion crimes, but how about, ya know, some men? Wom-en aren’t the only students who come to school underdressed, showing skin, etc.

Although I’m sure it wasn’t Ms. Zerpa’s intention, but this type of scru-tiny being applied solely to women contributes to the pervasive, harmful message that a young women’s value as a person comes down to her appear-ance, while men are judged as complex individuals. Girls are under enormous pressure to convey a multitude of dif-ferent messages to various people (guys, friends, professors, etc.) and are also given various conflicting advice from the media on how to achieve this.

Understandably, mistakes are sometimes made. Perhaps next time a better format would be “Tips for Dress-ing to Impress” instead of this more slut-shamey style of article.

Celebrating World Nutella DayNutella has been a dietary

staple in the United States since 1983, when it was first imported from Italy. Pietro Ferrero created the product in the 1940s when he chose to add hazelnut instead of cocoa due to rationing during WWII. What started out as a paste is now a renowned spread made from roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and cocoa. Nutella has no artifi-cial colors or preservatives and is mostly used in desserts or breakfast items.

World Nutella Day is cele-brated on Feb. 5 and was created as an excuse to enjoy Nutella on any plate possible. There are several restaurants around Miami that know just how to turn the classic spread into original recipes that make chocolate lovers come back for more.

Dessert Wars stirs up delicious competitionIn most lists of food trends, one

specific category leads the pack. From cupcakes to cronuts to deep-fried oreos, dessert is more than an occasional indulgence – it’s a cul-tural obsession. What better way to feed cravings than two hours en-tirely devoted to everyone’s favorite course?

On Sunday, the university will be hosting Dessert Wars at the BankUnited Center. The event is a competition among local businesses for the title of “Miami’s Best Confec-tion.” More than 25 establishments will be represented, showcasing a tremendous variety of sweet treats. The menu for Sunday’s showdown includes donuts, whoopie pies, ice cream, cake and everything in be-tween, which will be evaluated by a panel of local celebrity judges.

The Piping Gourmets will be one of the shops competing for sweet supremacy. The store was formed when co-founder Carolyn Shulevitz decided to come out with healthier, cleaner versions of classic American desserts. The Piping Gourmets will bring whoopee pies that are non-GMO verified, gluten-free certified, vegan and kosher. According to Shu-levitz, they only use “pure” ingre-dients and do not include artificial coloring or flavoring.

“We have relatives and fam-ily members who are big supporters of the University of Miami, so we wanted to do all we could to whip it up,” said Shulevitz. “We’re sending two of our representatives to explain the nutrition facts and the things that make our brand stand out.”

Another competitor ready for the battle is Liquid Ice Cream, a shop that makes ice cream using liquid nitrogen, which allows the

ice cream to freeze almost instantly. Owner Jose Carmona feels confi-dent that being a dessert truck gives Liquid Ice Cream an advantage, and he looks forward to the event.

“We’re still deciding between a couple of things,” he said. “We live in South Florida, and everyone loves flan, so that’s something that we’re thinking of doing, is a flan ice cream with cookie dough pieces inside, or our donut sundae, which is basically like a cronut … we also make a Cin-namon Toast Crunch-flavored ice cream.”

But the real winners here are the attendees. A ticket not only gains you access to the event, but to a smorgasbord of free samples, a milk bar and a dessert eating competition, not to mention a ticket to the Hurri-cane Basketball game against Clem-son at 6:30 p.m. By the afternoon’s end, you won’t just have a sweet tooth, you’ll have a whole mouthful.

8 EDGE THE MIAMI HURRICANE February 5 - February 8, 2015

In recent years, Wynwood has received a lot of attention as the new creative wave that people from all over the world have come to ride.

While many have referred to it as new and trendy, Wynwood has a history that dates back to 1917. As its 100th anniversary approaches, Wynwood is more vivacious than ever. Art connoisseur, foodies and aes-thete amateurs alike all have something to enjoy at this cultural hub.

Start mornings off on the right note with a cup of cortadito (Cuban espresso) or a ca-puccino from Panther Coffee. Once lunch-

time rolls around, head over to Pride and Joy to enjoy classic Southern barbecue. Confused on what to order? Locals recommend the burnt ends, mac n’ cheese or brisket sand-wich.

If it’s a burger kind of day, Kush offers some of the best burgers in Miami with a sat-isfying pairings of burgers and beers. Try the gator bites and conch salad for a more authen-tic Southern meal.

Weekend mimosas are not rare in this part of town. R House or Morgan’s are the perfect spots for Sunday brunch day.

But most importantly, those who are a bit indecisive can rest easy. All of these lo-cations are within walking distance of one another. Keep in mind that Wynwood is not

very large, so a nice stroll and breath of fresh air will is always an option. Newly-installed, rentable bikes are also available and can be found on a few different streets.

As the sun sets, dinner opportunities rise at Wynwood.

A little north of the heart of Wynwood is Gigi’s – a hot spot for dates, dinner with friends, or family time. Gigi’s is versatile. The menu provides combinations of indulgent, sa-vory bites unlike any other.

Those who are over 21 and are looking for a place with a great bartender can quench their thirst at Wood Tavern. This is a cool and calm environment with an outdoor area featuring DJs that play old school music. An-other notable option is Electric Pickle – the

number one spot for underground music lov-ers. It’s a small, dark room with European beats. Located next to Gigi’s is Bardot, which mixes the laid-back ambience of a lounge with the deep house beats of a club. Another cool spot on the map is The Social Lubricant a.k.a. TSL, which has an outdoor area and trendy beats that will make anyone want to move their feet.

Wynwood is covered with murals painted by recognized graffiti or street artists from around the world. This was the initial movement that raised international atten-tion towards Wynwood. Wynwood is slowly but surely becoming one of the most popular spots in all of Miami. So go ahead and surf that wave now to get a taste of Wynwood.

February 5 - February 8, 2015 THE MIAMI HURRICANE SPORTS 9

Miami Hurricanes football has long drawn upon the vast amount of talent in South Florida to grow its team. Of the 2015 re-cruits, 13 of 20 are from Florida.Three in particular show promise at the university.

JAQUAN JOHNSON Johnson is the special kind

of athlete that South Florida is known for producing. This dy-namic offensive, defensive and special teams athlete played safety for Killian High School, leading one of the best defenses in all of Dade County.

Johnson routinely displayed his great natural instincts, accumu-lating more than 200 tackles and 10 interceptions in his four years at Killian. Standing at a little less than six feet and weighing around 190 pounds, Johnson already has the size to compete with the receiv-ers of the ACC.

Similar to Ed Reed, Johnson is a great at returning punts and kickoffs with the vision to spot a hole opening up and the explo-siveness to burst straight through it. With the tools and the work ethic, he could one day find him-self in the same conversation as a game-changing safety, like Reed and Sean Taylor did before him.

RICHARD MCINTOSHMcIntosh is hard to miss. At

6 foot, 5 inches and 270 pounds,

with enormous arms at his sides, he has the physique of an NFL defensive lineman at just 18. This does not mean the Cardinal Gib-bons product is ready to step in right away and contribute for the Hurricanes. Though McIntosh punished offenses with 70 tackles, 12 sacks and two forced fumbles last season alone, he still needs work in the pass-rush department.

When double-teamed, he struggles, gets hung up on blocks and does not have the speed to chase down fast quarterbacks.

McIntosh shines in the run game where he bottles up oppos-ing rushers.

After a season when the de-fense gave up over 300 rushing yards in one game, a run stopper like McIntosh will provide huge dividends for the Canes.

MARK WALTONAs the highest rated prospect

joining the team this year, Walton is the prize of the 2015 class for the Hurricanes and for good reason. Walton has good size for a run-ning back at 5 feet, 10 inches and 185 pounds of pure muscle.

Regularly using his physicali-ty to maul over opposing lineback-ers, he is not afraid of taking a hit and often meets a defender with a shoulder to the chest.

In the 2014-15 season, Wal-ton racked up 1,470 yards and 22 touchdowns. Career-wise, he totaled 2,734 yards and 45 touch-downs in his high school.

Walton doesn’t have the speed of a Duke Johnson, but he is still fast enough to get to the edge and take off down the side-

line when there isn’t a hole to run through. With the agility to cut in-stantaneously and turn the defense around as he bolts for extra yards, he is dangerous.

As far as improvements go, Walton should work on catching passes out of the backfield, though second-year quarterback Brad Kaaya should have no problem working with him. Kaaya will also enjoy his eagerness to level crush-ing blocks on blitzing defenders.

Coming out of Miami’s Booker T. Washington High School, which currently holds the Miami-Dade County record for longest winning streak at 41 games, Walton is a polished run-ning back that will keep Miami’s running game afloat after the de-parture of Johnson.

Baseball fans clamoring for the 2015 season to begin can head to Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field Saturday as it comes alive for the annual Hurricanes Base-ball FanFest and Alumni Game.

The Alumni Game traditionally takes place the weekend before the start of the season as an exhibition game between the Hurricanes baseball team and former play-ers who have graduated, many of whom have gone on to play for Major League Baseball.

Former Hurricane Chantz Mack (Se-attle Mariners minors), who has played on both sides of the Alumni Game, said that it is a good test game for the team.

“Right now they’re just playing against each other in the inter-squad games, and that gets very boring,” he said. “Now they get to play in front of a crowd.”

Players who have returned for the Alumni Game in the past include Jon Jay, outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals and World Series ring holder; Yonder Alonso, who has played for the San Diego Padres since 2012; and Gaby Sanchez, a former Pittsburgh Pirate who was recently signed to play professional baseball in Japan.

An autograph session with the coaches and players will take place from 4-5 p.m., when fans can get their hands on a 2015 team poster. For the young children who tag along, Saturday’s activities will include face painting, inflatable bounce houses and other games.

Alumni will be take to the field for batting practice at 4:15 p.m., and Hurri-canes alumni and current players will be introduced to the fans starting at 5:30 p.m. Following FanFest, Hurricanes Baseball alumni take on the 2015 team at 6 p.m. The activities and game are free.

Mack said the Alumni Game is a good opportunity for fans to get an early look at the current team in action as well as to see their favorite former players. This year, the alumni lineup includes Mack, Chris Her-nandez (Boston Red Sox AAA) and Alex San Juan (2013 graduate).

Last year’s graduates Javi Salas (Mil-waukee Brewers minors), Dale Carey (Washington Nationals minors), Tyler Palmer (Los Angeles Angels minors) and Alex Hernandez (Houston Astros minors) will also play against many of their former teammates on the 2015 Miami Hurricanes team.

Mack, who returned for the Alumni Game for the first time last spring, said it can be a strange experience playing against old teammates.

“The year previous, I was captain of the team and I had played with all those guys, and now playing against them, it felt very weird to me,” he said. “It didn’t feel comfortable. But I had a lot of fun in the game.”

The Mark Light Shake stand will be open throughout the day for its 30th season of serving up milkshakes, including a new cookie dough flavor in honor of the Sugar-canes bat girls.

Fans can look forward to opening day the following weekend. The Hurricanes open the 2015 season at home with a series against the Rutgers Scartlet Knights begin-ning 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13.

Bedroom etiquette: the untold story

Those of you still inhabiting the dorms know the undeniable truth of college – your roommate can make or break the year. They’re the ones who see your sloppy appearance and deal with you after you’ve pulled several consecu-tive all-nighters during finals.

Everyone knows nothing causes as much friction between roomies as sexil-ing. It’s the topic nobody talks about (ex-cept when complaining to their friends after being kicked out at midnight).

But trust me, the awkward conver-sation is way worth avoiding the awk-ward walk-ins later. So crack open a bottle of wine and set some boundaries – you’ll be glad you did.

Whether you’re the one being sex-iled or the one doing the sexiling, here are V’s sexiling etiquette tips.

FOR THE SEXILER

GIVE FAIR WARNING There’s nothing worse than the “I

met this girl and we’re on the way to the

room now” texts. If you’re planning on having company, call your roommate so they have enough time to grab their phone charger. Or, if you guys have more of a laid-back approach, the tried-and-true sock on the door is a nice way to avoid being caught in a compromis-ing position.

TIMING IS EVERYTHING The best way to become public

enemy No. 1 is kicking your roommate out at three in the morning during mid-terms.

Do not be that person. If you have a steady thing going, set up meet-ups during times you know your roommate will be gone. If you do get lucky on a night out, be sure to give your room-mate some warning – and be prepared that they might say no.

FOR THE SEXILED

DON’T COME BACK EARLY Assuming that your roomie has

given you some advance notice, do them the courtesy of not busting in halfway through looking for your history notes.

Yes, it’s inconvenient to carry twice the stuff you normally would, but isn’t it worth it to avoid that awkward run-in? Go treat yourself to a coffee in Starbucks or make friends with the study room. If your roommate is a repeat-sexiler, refer to the next tip.

HAVE A CRASH PADSince we all know how uncom-

fortable the study room couches are, it might do you good to find an alternate hangout spot.

Whether you work out a system with your floormates or are blessed enough to have a friend with a coveted off-campus crib, you’ll be glad you did – especially when your inebriated room-mate kicks you out in the middle of the night.
