As the fall semester reaches its midpoint, seats for the senate board of Student Govern-ment are open. Elections for new senators will take place from Monday to Wednesday, when students can vote for who they feel will represent their best interests. With 27 seats open, numerous repre-sentatives of houses, classes and colleges will be running to help serve their constitu-ents. Leading up to the elections, the can-didates are using various methods to reach out to their voters and raise awareness of themselves and their proposed policies. On social media, faces of candidates are abuzz. Candidates have handed out fli-ers, sent emails to different Listservs and spoken in organizational meetings to pub-licize themselves. Students can also vote on a referenda proposed by Distraction Magazine and the Ibis Yearbook. The proposal states that the Student Activity Fee be raised by $1 each, with the proceeds going to their respective organizations. “We decided to go out for referen-dum because we believe the yearbook is such an important staple on campus,” said Emily Eidelman, the editor-in-chief of the Ibis Yearbook. “The small raise in the student activities portion of tuition will go such a long way for us. We document the history of the year for students 50, even 100 years from now to look back on. With the help of current students, we can keep our tradition of the book going for years to come.” For the last elections in the spring se-mester, 30 percent of students voted with a total of 2,934 votes. This was 1,000 votes more than the previous election. How to Vote Sept. 28-29: Voting will be open on OrgSync from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sept.30: Voting will be open from 10 a.m . to 4 p.m. on OrgSync. The Breezeway will also have a voting station for students to vote from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Wednesday. Students can vote on any device that has access to the OrgSync website. Voting to open for senate seats, referenda STUDENT GOVERNMENT By Marcus Lim Staff Writer The most popular game in the wizard-ing world transcended fiction and materialized on the Intramural fields Saturday. Hooped goal posts on oval pitches awaited players arriving to participate in the second annual Canes Classic Quidditch Tour-nament hosted by the University of Miami Quid-ditch Team. The tournament featured nine teams and was scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Originally supposed to include pool play followed by single elimination, the tournament only consisted of pool play due to heat, injuries and time constraints. The Canes, who are four-time South Region-al Champions and have been ranked in the top 25 teams for the past five years, upheld their competi-tive reputation by obtaining a record of 3-1 during the tournament. Miami started the tournament strong, win-ning its first game of the day 120-50 against Florida International University (FIU) and then claiming another victory against Florida Gulf Coast Uni-versity (FGCU) 150-50. The Canes played a close game that went into double overtime against Flor-ida’s Finest, a team of non-college players, but lost 160-150. They quickly recovered, however, win-ning their last game against Florida State 110-50. Nine teams including Miami, FGCU, FIU, South Florida, Central Florida, Florida State, Roll-ins College, Florida’s Finest and an unofficial team for unaffiliated players known as the Friendly Rainbows, assembled on the field to battle it out. As hosts of an official U.S. Quidditch tour-nament, the Canes diligently prepared to achieve success on their home field. “All we did was practice, practice, practice. We make sure our players are conditioned and have all of the plays down,” Club President Sa-mantha Kanterman said. For the teams playing in the official pool, the tournament was crucial in establishing their record.
