Kilachand Hall to combine academics, residence Obama advocates By Amira Francis Daily Free Press Staff

By transforming Boston University’s Shelton Hall into Kilachand Hall — a residence hall that will combine the Arvind and Chandan Nandlal Kilachand Honors College’s faculty and students — KHC will promote a sense of community among its members, officials said. KHC Manager of Student Advising Amanda Scobie said the money, donated by 1974 Graduate School of Management alumnus Rajen Kilachand, will allow KHC to fulfill its purpose on BU’s campus. “After an initial donation by Mr. Kilachand, which endowed our college, we changed our name,” she said. “He gave another $10 million to the university for us to have a real living and learning community in which our students can live.” The renovations will allow for a combined academic and residential space in Kilachand Hall, Scobie said. The project’s first phase focuses on renovating the first floor of Shelton and is scheduled for completion by September 2013. The second phase of construction, which will focus on the ninth floor, stair tower and elevator, is set to take place during the summer of 2014, said Associate Vice President for Operations Walt Meissner. Meissner said the residence hall will soon include a teaching space for KHC professors and will have a better study space for KHC students. “The east wing of the first floor will be reno-

vated to accommodate the KHC director and faculty offices, including a teaching space,” he said in an email. “The common room in the middle will remain configured as it is now, but improved to better serve both the KHC and the residence hall.” Charles Dellheim, KHC director and history professor, said the common room is one of the most important parts of the renovation. “A common room will provide an opportu-

nity for informal meetings for faculty and students, as well as for students who are both in KHC and students who are in other parts of the university,” he said. Meissner said BU officials hope to renovate the west wing of the first floor and want to add a new stair and elevator tower as part of the ninth floor renovations. “The west wing is being reconfigured and

Philosophy prof. remembered for dedication to students By Margaret Waterman and Brian Latimer Daily Free Press Staff

Krzysztof Michalski brought a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective to the Boston University philosophy department, said Veronica Little, one of his political philosophy students. “He brought a different cultural aspect to it because he had spent time teaching in Europe and lived there obviously for a long time — he could compare how Americans handled certain philosophy versus Europeans,” Little, a College of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said. Michalski died at the age of 64 of an unknown disease Sunday in Vienna, according to a BU philosophy department press release. Little, who took a class with Michalski in the fall 2012 semester, said he had a dry wit, a deep passion for philosophy and a unique teaching style. “We would have readings for the class, and he would just sit down in front of us and we’d

all be circled around him and we would just talk about it,” she said. “He would engage everyone and get everyone’s take on the readings we would do.” Tala Khalaf, a College of Communication sophomore, said Michalski was dedicated to his students, even after he took a leave of absence near the end of the fall 2012 semester. “I really didn’t expect him to be so readily available to us considering how sick he was,” Khalaf said. “It was amazing how quickly he was responding to our emails and helping us with our essays.” Institute for Philosophy and Religion Director Allen Speight said Michalski will be remembered for starting the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna. “It allowed our graduate students to go spend a semester or even a year in Vienna in their offices,” he said. “The institute always brought in very high-powered speakers from the world of politics, art and religion.”

Michalski always ensured the institute held regular colloquia and symposia devoted to topics on European future, Speight said. “This really followed his interest as someone who has grown up and been educated in Poland,” he said. “He had this sense of the importance of shaping a new Europe and a new world after the fall of the Soviet Union.” Speight said Michalski will be remembered fondly for his Nietzsche class, which drew the attention of many BU philosophy students. Michalski, who began teaching at BU in 1989, was a cherished member of the BU philosophy community, said Provost Jean Morrison in an email. “We extend our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Michalski’s family and loved ones,” Morrison said. “Dr. Michalski’s contribution to cultural exchange and to the teaching and study of philosophy — both here and throughout central and eastern Europe — was substantial.”

U.S. President Barack Obama addressed the nation Tuesday night in his fifth State of the Union speech, focusing on growing the middle class, expanding domestic clean energy production and enacting stricter gun control laws. Obama opened his speech reflecting on the last four years, saying the nation had come a long way economically. “Together, we have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is stronger,” he said. Then the economy took center-stage as Obama spoke of continuing job growth, recognizing that employment numbers are coming back to America. “Our economy is adding jobs — but too many people still can’t find full-time employment,” he said. “It is our generation’s task, then, to reignite the true engine of America’s economic growth — a rising, thriving middle class.” Proposing a partial solution the economic struggles of the middle class, Obama turned to the minimum wage, advocating for a large jump from the current $7.25 limit. “I want to raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour,” he said. As expected, Obama addressed the deficit, assuring Americans that progress is being made to reduce the national debt. “Both parties have worked together to reduce the deficit by more than $2.5 trillion — mostly through spending cuts, but also by raising tax rates on the wealthiest one percent of Americans,” he said. “But deficit reduction alone is not an economic plan. We must continue growing an economy that creates good middle-class jobs.” Obama then shifted his speech toward the environment, stressing that recent climatic events like Hurricane Sandy and nationwide water droughts were not freak incidents, but signs of climate change. “We must do more to combat climate change,” Obama said. “We can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science — and act before it’s too late”. Obama said growth within the clean energy industry is crucial, not only to secure a healthy environment for future generations, but also to keep America globally competitive.

Legislators and environmentalists praise lower carbon emission cap in NE By Zoe Roos Daily Free Press Staff

New England Senators and environmentalist joined together Friday to praise a new lower carbon emission cap set by the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Nine states, including four from New England, participated in the RGG Initiative, a fouryear-old power plant pollution-cutting program in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, that has been working to reduce climate change pollution, according to an RGGI press release Friday. Dale Bryk, director of the energy and transportation program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said in a statement that the initiatives is multi faceted. “This program has shown the nation unequivocally that environmental and economic progress can indeed go hand in hand,” she said. Interim U.S. Sen. William Cowan praised the initiative for encouraging job growth and environmental protection standards. “Not only is this decision good for our environment, but it will drive job creation, strength-

en our state economies, and continue to establish New England as an innovation leader for the nation,” he said in a statement. Cowan said clean energy is helping keep Massachusetts residents employed. “Massachusetts now has more than 72,000 clean energy workers, and we’ve created hundreds of new clean energy companies and technologies,” he said in a statement. “This decision will continue to drive our leadership in creating a clean energy economic boom.” The new initiative will limit the amount of pollution power plants can emit to fewer than 91 million tons — nearly half of the previous limit— starting in 2014 according to RGGI. This will be an initial reduction of 45 percent. After the initial year, the limit will drop 2.5 percent every year until 2020 according to the RGGI. Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said in a statement that he hoped New England’s move would encourage the rest of the country to follow suit.

renovated to serve the residence hall, including residence life offices, laundry facilities, a mail room, bike storage and public restrooms,” he said. “In a later phase we will be improving access to the ninth floor by adding a new stair and elevator tower, as

well as new windows and roof.” Makaela Reinke, a KHC and School of Hospitality Administration freshman, said having classes in a residence hall might pose an inconvenience for students. “None of the other residence halls have classes in the bottom,” she said. “It’s going to be pretty inconvenient

for people to slide [their Terrier Card] in and out of the building to go to class,” she said. Courtney Sonn, a KHC College of Communication freshman, said the renovations will allow greater interaction among KHC students outside of the classroom. “Merging faculty and students is

cool,” she said. “I know a lot of Honors kids next year that want to live in Shelton, and it’ll be cool to live with the other Honors kids because we see them a lot,” she said. Margaret Therrien, a School of Management sophomore, said from her experiences at other schools, joint academic and residential spaces are

beneficial to students. “Housing the faculty and students together is effective from my perspective,” she said. “Last year I went to the University of Vermont. They had all of the honors college students in one dorm and it seemed to work out because they lived together and took classes together.”

Campus & City City Crime Logs

stomp the yard By Regine Sarah Capungan Daily Free Press Staff

The following reports were taken from the Allston-Brighton D-14 crime logs from Feb. 7 to Feb. 12. Police officers responded to a fight at about 2:30 a.m. at 161 Brighton Ave on Friday morning. On the way to the scene, officers witnessed a man stomp a victim in the head as he was lying on the ground in front of Redneck’s Roast Beef restaurant, located at 140 Brighton Ave. The victim was unconscious and bleeding from the head when an officer first approached him. The victim later began bleeding more profusely and vomiting as the ambulance arrived to take him to Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Another officer stopped the suspect and one of his companions at the corner of Harvard and Brighton Avenue as they were trying to leave the scene. The suspect was then placed under arrest for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Pop, pop, pop that tire At about 9:10 p.m. Monday, police responded to a call at 10 Leamington Rd. for a vehicle vandalism report. A witness stated that he was shoveling snow on the sidewalk when he heard a popping sound followed by the sound of a tire deflating. When he looked in the direction of the sound, he observed a brownhaired man move to the other side of the vehicle and make the popping sound again near the left rear tire with a knife. When the witness approached the man, he recognized him as a neighbor that he had previously confronted about throwing snow off of his car to the shoveled sidewalk. When the police were notified, they were unable to locate both the suspect and the owner of the vehicle. Whoooo are you? A woman observed an unknown man in her house, located at 28 Cummings Road, at about 4:38 a.m. Sunday. The woman told officers that the man had entered her room while she was asleep and apologized for waking her before closing the door and leaving the room. She continued to hear his footsteps outside, grabbed a knife and asked him why he was in her house. He stated that he was there with his friends, even though he had no friends that lived in the house. The woman called her other roommate and the police, who arrived to find the man on the first floor of the house. He was putting on scarves and a jacket that did not belong to him. When the officers confronted him, he said that he was in the house with friends and that he walked into the house. However, when the officers first arrived at the house the front door was locked.

Youth prone to greater stress than other ages Special election

announced for Mass. Rep. Walz

By Paola Salazar Daily Free Press Staff

In response to a recent study that found young people are suffering from greater stress than other generations, Boston University officials said they are working hard to recognize and minimize stress on campus. “Depending on the disorder, stress can influence mental health, with hypertension for example,” said Todd Falchione of BU’s Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders. “If the stressors aren’t dealt with then that’s problematic. It’s normal to have stress for a short period of time, but for chronic stress, that could lead to many more problems.” Thirty-five percent of people nationwide reported increased stress levels between August 2011 and August 2012, according to a study published Thursday by Stress in America, a branch of the American Psychological Association. People between the ages of 18 and 33 had a higher average level of stress than other age groups. While the average stress level, measured on a 10-point scale, was reported to be 4.9, the average stress level for young people — commonly

referred to as Millennials — was 5.4, according to the study. Of the total survey respondents, 1,424 of the 2,020 reported suffering from one or more physical heath problems related to stress disorders, such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, depression, anxiety and obesity, according to the study. Falchione said BU’s CARD helps individuals of all ages with anxiety

disorders and associated symptoms by providing treatments and research. In today’s economic and political climate, increases in resource prices and decreases in job opportunities and pay can cause youths great levels of stress, Falchione said. “There is truly an economic crisis,” Falchione said. “People are not finding jobs, and you have these successive generations of graduates and

All charges dropped for Occupy Boston protesters By Jasper Craven Daily Free Press Staff

The remaining 24 cases stemming from the Occupy Boston protests in Dewey Square in 2011 were resolved Friday, with prosecutors dropping all charges. Prosecutors considered the other cases stemming from the Greenway encampment, as well as the individual cases relative to those involving firearm violations, violent crime and other offenses also pending in the Boston Municipal Court, according to a press release from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office on Friday. The Occupy Boston defendants had been charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, or both, according to the Suffolk County DA’s office. “We were arrested for exercising our constitutionally protected rights to assemble, to express protected speech and to petition the government,” said Andrea Hill, one of the defendants scheduled to face trial on Monday, in a press release from the National Lawyers Guild.

Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk DA’s office, said after the defendants were arrested, they were offered a disposition of pretrial probation. Under this disposition, good behavior for a year from the defendants would get the case dismissed and nothing would be noted on the criminal record of the defendants. Additionally, the defendants were also offered an amendment to civil proceedings, in which all criminal charges would be dismissed. Although most protesters took one of these options, 24 defendants insisted upon criminal charges, only to file motions to dismiss these criminal charges twice — in October 2011 and December 2011, Wark said. The NLG, which represented the Occupy Boston defendants, claimed the decision to drop all charges amounted to realization by the prosecution that criminal charges against the protesters were unconstitutional. “This action amounts to an implicit acknowledgement of the unconstitutionality of the arrests and

criminal charges brought against almost 200 Occupy Boston participants,” stated a Friday press release from the NLG. “By declining to pursue charges further, the state has finally admitted that the demonstrations by Occupy activists were legal and constitutionally protected activities.” The Occupy protest movement, which came to prominence in the fall of 2011, featured occupation of public spaces and protest by citizens around the world on the issues of wealth disparity and government corruption. At the height of the movement, Occupy made up 10 percent of the total news coverage in the U.S., according to an October 2011 Pew Research Center report. Wark said even if legal action had continued and the protesters were found guilty, the punishment would be fairly marginal. “I can tell you that we would not be seeking jail time,” Wark said. “Jail time was never contemplated by our office. It likely would have been probation for a guilty finding.”

The June 25 special election this year won’t just see the election of a new U.S. senator, but will also determine who will fill the Eighth Suffolk district seat currently held by Mass. Rep. Martha Walz. The official dates were announced Thursday for the special election. A primary is scheduled for May 28, and the special election for the seat will be June 25, the same day as the special election to fill Secretary of State John Kerry’s former seat in the Senate, said Brian McNiff, spokesman for Mass. Secretary of State William Galvin. Walz was hired Jan. 30 as president and chief executive officer of the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts. She plans to step down from her seat mid-February. McNiff said no candidates have submitted their nomination papers yet. “It’s still too early for that [to submit papers],” he said. “Candidates have until April 16 to submit their papers to their respective registrars, and then they have until April 23 to bring their nomination papers to the Secretary.” Candidates need at least 150 signatures to participate in the primary and three Democrats have already started collecting the necessary signatures, McNiff said. Jay Livingstone, a criminal defense attorney, said he was running to fill the seat. “I have known Marty Walz for a number of years and when the announcement came up, I thought it was a great role to fill and continue the progressive leadership that she showed,” he said. “I view the state representative position as a great platform for what I am already doing.” Livingstone said he would focus on schools in the district and zoning effects on the community if he were to win the election. “I want to try to minimize any diverse effects on the community that large development can bring. There can be change, but it doesn’t all have to be bad,” he said. “Marty has been

Espresso Royale to become Pavement Coffee House in summer 2013 By Marie Ameln Daily Free Press Contributor

After 20 years as one of the most popular cafés at Boston University, Espresso Royale will be converted to a Pavement Coffee House in summer 2013, Pavement officials said. “We are so excited about the upcoming changes,” said Pavement Director of Operations Andrew LoPilato. “We plan to keep what we all love about Espresso Royale while making improvements.” The change will be made as the final step in converting all of Boston’s Espresso Royales to Pavements, LoPilato said. “The Espresso Royale at the BU campus is the last to become a Pavement,” LoPilato said. “The owner, management and team will remain the same even though the name changes.” LoPilato said the change will

bring a new ambiance, more coffee options and new lunch sandwiches. Necessary renovations to the existing Espresso Royale space include adding comfortable seating and establishing a focus on stations to make personal coffees. BU alumnus Larry Margulies, a 1997 College of Arts and Sciences graduate, owns both Espresso Royale and Pavement, LoPilato said. Margulies also owns Bagel Rising, which provides the cafés with bagels. “We are 100 percent independently owned by Larry Margulies, who has owned the cafés [in Boston] for seven years,” LoPilato said. The Espresso Royale chain was originally a chain from the Midwest, where it still operates today, LoPilato said. LoPilato said when Margulies bought a new café on Boylston

“In the short time I’ve been here in Washington, nothing has frustrated me more than false choices like the ones the President laid out tonight,” he said. “The choice isn’t just between big government or big business. What we need is an accountable, efficient and effective government that allows small and new businesses to create middle class jobs.” U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts released a statement in strong support of the president and of his plan to reform the education system and increase gun control.

“President Obama made clear tonight that he will continue fighting to create jobs, rebuild our economy and strengthen America’s middle class,” he said. “All of us should work together to reduce gun violence in our communities and invest in our future — in education, infrastructure and research.” Obama made several comments asking for congressional cooperation, but Boston University Professor Graham Wilson, head of the Political Science department, said future successful bipartisan cooperation was unlikely.

“Obama has learned that the notion that the Republicans want to compromise is fundamentally displaced,” he said. “He has learned that building bridges and cooperation is not going to happen.” Despite the looming challenges in the months ahead, Obama closed the address with a call for unity among all Americans. “We are citizens,” he said. “It’s a word that doesn’t just describe our nationality or legal status. It describes the way we’re made”.

David Roochnik, philosophy department chair and professor of philosophy, said Michalski’s legacy extends beyond Boston, as The Institute for Human Sciences was an extremely important institution and played a small role in the fall of communism in Europe. “Before the fall of the Berlin Wall, or the end of communism in Europe, Vienna was really the midpoint between Eastern and Western Europe,” Roochnik said. “His institute was very important in bringing western culture, western intellectu-

alism to Eastern Europe because it was the one city where many of them could visit.” Lauren McNelley, a CAS sophomore, said she was thankful to have had Michalski, who was a lively and engaging teacher. She said during class, he used to tell students the importance of never blindly accepting anything without careful consideration first. “He would say as long as you’re thinking, you can’t be wrong,” she said. “The only time you were wrong was when you just accepted what people told you without questioning it.”

“This innovative initiative is an economic and environmental winwin for Connecticut and other New England states because it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and creates green jobs,” he said. “I hope other regions in the nation follow the New England region’s lead by creating similar environmentallyconscious cooperatives.”  Bryk said the nation would benefit as a whole by following New England’s lead. “As the Enivronmental Protection Agency prepares to issue carbon pol-

lution standards for existing power plants nationwide, other states would be wise to look to RGGI as a model,” she said in a statement. “By following this lead, they too can reap similar economic benefits while helping to reduce the turbo-charged weather that has been sweeping across the entire country.” The extreme damage left in Superstorm Sandy’s wake was also a factor in ensuring this cap, Bryk said. “In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, RGGI is combating extreme weather at its source: Climate change,” she said.

more people looking ... That particular age group is going to suffer even more because of this.” Coordinator for the Office of Wellness and Prevention Services Katharine Mooney said there are several on-campus resources available to BU students who feel overstressed. Student Health Services offers stress management advice, including fact sheets, clips, podcasts related to stress and mental health and blog posts on SpreadtheHealthBU.com. “We have dozens of web-based resources on stress management on the SHS website,” she said. “We also partnered with Mugar [Memorial Library] during finals to help with their dog therapy event.” Bora Yavuz, a School of Manage-

ment freshman, said some students overload on clubs and extracurricular commitments on top of their classes to build their resumes, which causes them stress. “It just depends on how much you enjoy it and the belief that it’ll benefit you in the future,” Yavuz said. “You shouldn’t overload and do more than you know you can, though.” Kirsten Johnson, a College of Communication junior, said since BU supplies students with stress management resources, it is up to the students to reach out for help. “I know people who want to go to SHS for stress but they just don’t have the time,” she said. “Taking a break, even if only for half an hour, to watch a show or meet with friends can help with stress. Just schedule down time to be with people.”

doing that and I will do the same.” If the voters elect him to be the state representative, Livingstone said he would be happy representing the eighth district for the remainder of his life. Nils Tracy, a research analyst at the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation, said he also took papers out to collect signatures to be in the Democratic primary. “Public office is very important and I’ve wanted a legislative role for a while now,” he said. “As a candidate, I can offer a voice to the

younger population and independentminded population. I’m a voice of the community. I’m new to it and I’m not an insider like other politicians.” Nils said he wanted to focus on bringing better access to food in his community and promoting small businesses to open in the city. “I am very confident in my candidacy, and right now I am just looking at the state representative position,” he said. “I really just want to represent them to the fullest and hold this seat for a while.” Joshua Dawson, Ward Five Democratic committee chair, took out

nomination papers as well, McNiff said. Dawson was not available to comment. McNiff said special elections are not a rare occurrence due to the natural flow of legislators. “There are special elections almost cyclically, about every two years, when somebody leaves office,” he said. “However, this is our second U.S. Senate special election in 3 years and that is unusual. But for positions like this [Walz’s seat], these happen more often than you would think.”

BU student launches national student clothing website Taylor Burke

n a college student’s budget, it can be difficult for students to find money to expand their wardrobes. And with even thrift shop prices on the rise, it’s hard for students to leave a store without denting their wallets. It’s exactly this mentality that inspired Boston University, College of Communication junior, Alexandra Shadrow to start BUtiques, a Facebook group that allows BU students to post photos of clothing that they would like to sell at their own asking price. Humble beginnings Shadrow said she had lost some weight, wanted to get new clothes and sell her old ones. At first, she tried Buffalo Exchange, which offered low prices and didn’t accept much of her clothing. She decided to take things into her own hands and created BUtiques, which soon grew in popularity. “It grew on its own, so that was really cool,” Shadrow said. “I didn’t realize how many people had the same desire to sell their stuff and buy their stuff, needing somewhere safe to do it, like I did.” BUtiques was launched in May 2011 and had about 200 members at the end of the first month, said Shadrow. By September of 2011, it was booming and it currently has 1,729 members. She said it is a place to buy and sell any product, not just clothing. “It’s any product — not just clothing,” Shadrow said. “It’s furniture, tickets, sports goods like baseball bats, a refrigerator, kitchen utensils, clothing, shoes — anything that a college student can own, they can sell on my site.”

Expanding the horizons Shadrow said she is taking the semester off to launch a host website called Unitiques, which was inspired by BUtiques. Unitiques will expand the idea of BUtiques, and will be a free service open to any national college or university. Each advertisement branch of Unitiques will represent a different university, where Students can create individual profiles and share any product that they like. “When I had 1,000 in BUtiques, I started realizing that people really liked it, and there are a lot of items that are uploaded every day,” Shadrow said. “Right now there are over 1,700 girls in the group, so it started getting pretty big. I got a lot of contact from people from other schools saying they wanted it at their school. It’s just basically taking BUtiques to the next level and offering it to everybody, including guys and including all colleges.” Shadrow hopes that the students nationally will be interested in the service. She said she is passionate about Unitiques and hopes to tailor it to student feedback. “I definitely care what students think about it and I really encourage people to contact us right after they’re a member,” Shadrow said. “If people want stuff added on to the site, tell us, and I’ll do it.” Shadrow said she hopes students nationwide will be interested in the service. “My ultimate goal is to get every college student, which is twenty-one million people, onto the site,” she said. “I don’t know how realistic that is, but I really want it to be something that everybody likes to use.”

Unitiques Students upload images of their products once they create their profile. These products are then categorized and can be subcategorized, and students select the condition of their product, the price of the product and whether it’s negotiable, and their reason for selling the item. Students can search by tags, top-rated items and best user ratings. “If you’re in NYU for a weekend and need a dress to wear to a party, then you can search NYU’s Unitiques branch and can find exactly what you’re looking for, which is pretty great,” Shadrow said. Other features of the site include a contact seller option, where students can message the seller directly about a product, as well as a rating system, where buyers can describe how they felt about bought items. Shadrow said that the review portion of the site will encourage people to be honest with their products. “It motivates people to have good ethics on the site,” Shadrow said. Also, she said she is planning for Unitiques to have an exchange feature, where students can swap products, as well as a potential roommate and apartment search. Unitiques will also have a mobile app. No final date has been set for Unitiques to launch, but it is planned for the near future, and will add features as the service continues to grow. A professional opinion BU School of Management Professor Barbara Bickart said she thinks Unitiques has the

potential to be a successful business. “Using social influence, so people can like products and feel as if they can judge the popularity of a product based on other peoples’ perceptions, often tends to drive sales or preference, so I think that’s great,” Bickart said. Although Bickart said there are other sites that allow people to sell their products, she thinks the familiarity college students have

State of the Union outlines plan of action

On Tuesday, U.S. President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union address, diplomatically re-highlighting many of the issues he touched upon in his Inaugural Address in January, including education costs and quality, climate change, war, gun control and the economy, and calling for a government that “encourages free enterprise, rewards individual initiative and opens the doors of opportunity to every child across this great nation.” This time around, however, Obama offered more specific plans of action. The American economy seems to be high on the presidential agenda. Obama said his administration’s first priority is to make America “a magnet for new jobs and manufacturing.” He will also address the national debt in order to stabilize finances, and noted his administration’s progress in its efforts at deficit reduction. This, he said, will help achieve his enduring goal of strengthening the middle class. His other method will be a raise in taxes on the rich: Obama still intends to tax the country’s “wealthiest and most powerful” in order to achieve his goals, claiming that it is unfair to ask senior citizens and working families to shoulder the burden of deficit reduction. Obama’s emphasis on economy and the American job force is a solid ground on which to build a platform for the country’s bettermend. Turning inward to make America a manufacturing hub for technology, solar infrastructure, and a number of other industries will empower our domestic industry as well as our exports. Regarding climate change, the president called for more investment in American oil

companies, as well as more progress in the front of alternative energy development. This is more than necessary: Much scientific evidence has pointed to a rapid increase in global warming as a result of human activity; storms like Sandy have been proof of this. Addressing the issue is crucial for reasons both environmental and economic. It is encouraging to see Obama working with scientific evidence, keeping the U.S. on par with other countries’ responses to the global energy crisis while also making our country less dependent on foreign oil. Hopefully, he will be successful in implementing changes. Obama will also focus on the rising cost of college and college debt, which while a hotbutton issue for young citizens (and young voters), is still a problem in need of a solution if we want the U.S. to remain an education powerhouse, and one in which all citizens can afford high-quality higher education. A young generation in debt is antithetical to Obama’s call for a strong and financially stable middle class and country as a whole. Perhaps the president’s speech will encourage universities to start addressing their tuitions and adjust their financial aid policies. Obama also claims he will pull troops out of Afghanistan, as well as continue to fight for gun control. Whether he succeeds in these efforts has yet to be determined. But all in all, Obama gave a strong speech that called for bipartisanship and action, addressing crucial issues of our times and laying out some groundwork regarding the ways in which Congress will go about furthering the betterment of the country.

Senate passes VAWA

The Senate passed its Violence Against Women Act reauthorization bill Tuesday. This pushes the bill to the House, where, according to the Huffington Post, Republican leaders have failed to signal how they will proceed. It’s about time. VAWA is expanding its protections to vulnerable groups. U.S. President Barack Obama has hailed the vote as a key step toward reducing homicides that stem from domestic violence and improving the criminal justice response to rape and sexual assault, according to The Huffington Post, encouraging House Republican leaders to pass the senate bill and send it on to him. Since it was created in 1994, VAWA has helped to strengthen programs and services for victims of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking, according to the Post. It extends

FAT BOY IN A SKINNY WORLD

protections to LGBT and Native American individuals, as well, and also works to prevent sexual crime and assault on college campuses. There is little reason for Congress to fail to pass a bill that protects women from ongoing and permanently damaging — if not often fatal — crimes against them. There is nothing offensive in the act. It is placing federal money where it should go — toward the protection of the people. When sexual assault continues to ravage communities by harming women, it is obvious that federal steps need to be taken to try to ameliorate the problem. VAWA is a strong first step. If, however, Congress fails to fully pass the act, it should work to implement alternatives to the issue. Women need governmental protection and support groups.

Like it or not, humans very rarely see eyeto-eye. We like to divide ourselves into groups — right vs. left, black vs. white, Hostess vs. Entenmann’s. But once in a while, we set aside our differences and come together. Sometimes a tragedy brings us closer, sometimes a common enemy gives us something to fight for — or sometimes, it’s merely a matter of extreme weather. This past weekend, we were all what I like to call “dumped on.” Now I don’t know about you, but I thoroughly enjoyed being trapped in my apartment. I wore pajamas all weekend, drank hot cocoa, did some writing and what not. To top it all off, I made myself some chicken wrapped in bacon — always a good sign when you’re eating and you think, “I can really taste the pig on that bird.” But back to my original point: Where did I see this transcendent moment of togetherness? Where was this rare and treasured human connection? Shaw’s supermarket. Friday afternoon. 12:30 p.m. There’s always a certain amount of hysteria before severe weather. People see some snow coming and they act like a nuclear holocaust is imminent. Personally, I think the news stations are in some kind of weird cahoots with the supermarkets — you know just to get us to buy more wheat germ or something. Then again, my conspiracy theory really falls apart after considering the eight feet of snow I removed from my roommate’s car on Monday. Still, people sprint to the grocery store whenever weather is on its way, and I must confess that I love going just to people-watch — and to buy cookies, of course. Last Friday was no different. As I rode the escalator up into Shaw’s I felt something deep within me surging and rising like waves. I watched as everyone frantically searched — nay! Yearned for that second gallon of milk. I felt totally in tune with the divine oneness that was present in Shaw’s. My roommate thought it was probably just gas, but I knew it was something deeper. All instances of the mock-heroic aside, you must be wondering what this has to do with being fat. To answer this question, though, you must first understand how fat guys tend to view themselves in the context of the Grocery store. Often I find myself in line with some skinny girl and in her cart I see carrots, yogurt, sugar-free juices, chicken breasts. Then I look in my cart: four steaks, two packages of Shaw’s chocolate chip cookies, five boxes of Goya rice, a whole bunch of munchies from the appetizer bar, and two bottles of Hershey Chocolate syrup. As a fat man, I really only have two food groups: trans-fats and carbohydrates. I’m con-

vinced that the Shaw’s bakery section is what heaven looks like. I don’t care that those cakes are all filled with artificial ingredients — I’m an English major, fiction gets me all hot under the collar. But more to the point, my grocery store runs wouldn’t exactly pass the “Sargent Choice” test. Now granted, I’m exaggerating. I see skinny people buy junk food all the time. And of course I buy vegetables. I’d be anemic if I didn’t. But there is a distinct difference in the emotional response between fat people buying junk food and skinny people buying junk food. You’re probably thinking that fat people are self-conscious and embarrassed about being seen buying fatty foods, right? Wrong. This is where we are confident and sure of ourselves. How do you think we got fat in the first place? We know the food that’s tasty — sugar is tasty, carbs are tasty, bacon-wrapped chicken is tasty. We buy these foods, we eat these foods, and we have no anxiety about it. Skinny people need to worry about ballooning up, but for us fatties, it doesn’t really make a difference what we buy because we’re already fat. We think, “Well I already dug the hole. I might as well have a good time down here.” Basically, if my heart stopped right now, I would die happy knowing that I had fried rice for breakfast. But during that last-minute grocery store rush fat and skinny came together. Everyone got to feel the bliss to buy whatever junk food they wanted — and it was a truly beautiful thing to see. I saw sorority girls buying four cans of icing and no cake batter. People were cleaning out the stockpiles of Lay’s potato chips. And in the corner by the family-sized packages of chicken thighs, I stood cackling like a halfforgotten nightmare filled with regret. It was awesome. My deeper point is this: Amid the panic of snow just beginning to fall outside, we all became honest shoppers. People stopped caring about what they looked like buying four boxes of double-stuffed Oreos and used the moment to indulge. The bare truth unveiled itself: Deep down, we’re all a bunch fatties. Admit it — we all just want to stuff our faces with junk food, chips, cookies, and ice cream. Severe weather patterns trigger some primal fear of destruction that allows us to do so. It felt good having grocery store self-consciousness removed for the day, and we all shared a special moment fueled by fear and high calorie snacks. What more could you want out of life?

King: Fans usually have no grounds for hating opposing athletes King: From Page 8

started hitting for power. Forget the triple-friendly confines of Comerica. Stick Granderson in the stadium with the infamous “Jetstream” and he’ll rack up 40+ homeruns. Now all the Yankee fans have whole-heartedly jumped on the Granderson bandwagon. Fantastic. Bottom line, Curtis Granderson gives me a headache. After ranting to my Dad about the fact that there would soon be a stadium built in our favorite centerfielder’s name, I read more of

the article including a quote from Granderson himself: “There are a lot of people in the community that are in the same situation I was in 15 to 20 years ago,” he said in a statement, according to ESPN. “Now, I am in a position where I have the ability to help kids pursue whatever dreams they have, whether they are educational, athletic or just life in general. I’m grateful that I have the opportunity to team up with UIC, which has helped me get to where I am today.” Turns out, Granderson is UIC’s largest donor. Well, I feel like an

ass. I began thinking. What gives me, a baseball fan with no personal connection to Granderson whatsoever, the right to hate him in the slightest? I don’t know a thing about the man. Sure, I could tell you where he’s from, I could regurgitate some statistics about him, and, well, that’s about it. My perception of Granderson, along with tons of other athletes, is clouded by the extensive fan following. I guess half of the fun in adopting a favorite sports team is talking smack to other fans and

ripping apart players that don’t sport our teams’ colors. By getting caught up in these heated debates, we convince ourselves that we do, in fact, hate the players we end up belittling. Take J.J. Redick and Tim Tebow, for example. Both were beloved by their respected colleges. Duke retired Redick’s jersey number, Tebow built himself an ungodly reputation at the University of Florida, and yet sports fanatics nationwide loathe the pair of them. Wearing a Redick jersey in Chapel Hill is practically a death sentence.

Maybe this is all SportsCenter’s fault for idolizing players on a continual loop. Maybe fans get way too into the game. Both reasons are plausible. Either way, we don’t actually hate rival athletes. Undermining them is simply our own roundabout way of admitting they’re good. If an athlete’s talent is the subject of a debate, they must be doing something right. Bad athletes aren’t even worth mentioning. It’s all in good fun. Nothing personal, Granderson.

Papale’s 19 points leads BU offense in victory Men’s basketball: From Page 8

Terrier freshman guard John Papale led BU in scoring with 19 points in a winning effort against the University of Vermont Tuesday night.

Despite success of penalty kill, Terriers must take less penalties Penalty kill: From Page 8

the first period — the Terriers did not let Harvard (18–3–2) record a single power-play goal in the first 20 minutes. BU coach Brian Durocher praised his defense on its play in the first period. “We’ve been trying to work on it for a long time, and I think every coach and every team works on trying to protect the … net,” Durocher said of the progress of his defense. “We seem to have been a little bit loosey-goosey, trying to break out, trying to take off, and not recognizing the danger. “Tonight we were much better, particularly on their power plays in the first period. Every time the puck went to the net with two maroon shirts, somebody had their stick up.” While the penalties were killed in the first, Durocher said that his players needed to be more disciplined. “We put ourselves in a real hole having to kill four … power plays in the first period,” Durocher said. “At no time am I directing anything at the referees. I’m directing it at my own team. We’ve got to make sure that our sticks are being used for carrying pucks, not hooking and holding and getting in peoples’ way. “I was real happy [with the kill], and I complimented them after the first period on doing that,” Durocher added. “But I also told them we just can’t keep doing this and expect we’re going to walk out with a win.” When junior co-captain Marie-

Philip Poulin was sent off the ice for crosschecking 11:27 into the second period, Harvard finally cashed in on a 5-on-4 advantage. Off a pass from forward Samantha Reber, forward Lyndsey Fry sent the puck past a hardworking Sperry to put the Crimson ahead 1–0 with 36 seconds left on the power play. “The first one was on a power play, and they moved the puck around well. Finally they got rewarded for a puck that found its way in the net,” Durocher said of the goal. “It was one of those ones that I didn’t think [Sperry] had a chance on.” Fry’s goal opened the scoring for Harvard and gave the Crimson momentum to score two more goals within the next two minutes. Durocher said although BU only let up one power-play goal to the Crimson, the excess of penalties gave Harvard too many chances. “You can generate some momentum once in a while, but [with] one or two good kills, not four and five and six,” Durocher said. “That really puts you in a real bind, and we did that to ourselves.” Regardless of the power-play goal it allowed in the second frame, BU has killed off 22 of its last 24 penalties, dating back to a 5–2 victory over the University of Vermont on Jan. 25. Before last week’s semifinal game, the Terriers allowed no power-play goals in conference games to the University of New Hampshire (0-for4) and Northeastern (0-for-7).

momentum to pull away from BU. After regaining the lead five minutes into the second half, Jones, looking for opportunities to score by creating turnovers, switched to a full-court press. The switch did not seem to affect the Catamounts much, as they called a timeout to readjust, and the game resumed as before — the two teams making shots and exchanging the lead. With about eight minutes remaining in regulation and a 41–40 lead, Jones resumed using the press defense. While it disrupted Vermont’s rhythm a bit, the Cata-

mounts were able to recover and draw a foul. BU took a five-point lead with fewer than six minutes left in the game after holding the Catamounts without a field goal for six minutes. After a set of pretty passes along the wing by BU, freshman guard John Papale hit a corner 3-pointer to give the Terriers a 55–51 lead with 90 seconds left. “We made some timely offensive plays,” Jones said. “We did a good job of moving the ball late and executing late.” From there, the Terriers were able to hold onto the lead, defeating the Catamounts 64–59. Papale led

the way, scoring 19 points. “He’s more than just a shooter, he’s a tough kid, a good competitor,” Jones said of Papale. Morris added a double-double for the Terriers with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Three Catamounts were in double figures. Rugg and guard Trey Blue contributed 12 points apiece, while forward Brian Voelkel added 11. “It means a lot for us,” Jones said of the victory. “They swept us last year and really cost us the regular season championship. We want to become the best team we can, and enjoy a postseason.”

per game (5.7) and is averaging 7.4 points per game on the year, while Taylor leads the Catamounts in scoring, averaging 8.3 points per game and is ranked fifth amongst America East players in offensive rebounding at 2.8 a game. For Greenberg, neutralizing the impact of Vermont’s forwards in the post will be crucial to a victory Wednesday. “Vermont has a really good inside presence,” Greenberg said. “Taylor and Buschmann really look for each other. If one comes high, they can shoot it, and if other teams

extend their defense out, they really look to get it into each other, and that’s where they score most of their points. “We will definitely be ready for their high/low game and look to double their post players as much as possible.” BU rebounded well from its loss against the University at Albany three weeks ago that snapped its season-high 13-game win streak. Ranked second in the America East standings with a 10–1 conference record, the Terriers are led by the great play of junior forward Rashidat Agboola, who was named America East Player of the Week.

This marks her second time receiving the award this season. Agboola contributed across the board for the Terriers in the past week, averaging 15 points, nine rebounds, and 1.5 blocks a game. Agboola also led the team with a 76.9 field goal percentage over the last two games. Greenberg said she believes the key to getting a win Wednesday rests in performance on the boards. “The key is rebounding,” Greenberg said. “We can’t let them get going on the offensive glass, and we need to get the tempo of the game going our way.”

period. We stayed on the puck and made it a competitive game.” With the NCAA tournament around the corner, Durocher said the consolation game was much more important than hometown bragging rights. “I told them, ‘Beanpot’s over. It’s not a consolation game. It’s an NCAA PairWise huge game,’” Durocher said. “It could have solidi-

fied our situation — not mathematically — but it could have put us in a real good situation. We’re probably going to wake up tomorrow and see that we’re in a little bit of a funny location.” BU remains one game away from its 150th program win. “The disappointment of not scoring goals — or the frustration — sometimes you can point to the goaltender, sometimes you can point to the team defense, and

sometimes you point to a little of bad luck,” Durocher said. “Maybe we’ve had all three of them in the last two games. “I know law of averages are going to correct themselves with the kids we have that can score goals and that have scored goals, but you’ve got to find ways to get one in there or correct some things.” BU next meets the University of Vermont Saturday at Walter Brown Arena at 3 p.m.

Terriers shut out in Beanpot consolation game BU’s penalty kill lone bright spot in past 2 contests

Useless Hatred Women’s hockey falls to Harvard in rare blowout By Kira Cole Daily Free Press Staff

Haley King

While I was scanning ESPN I came across a headline reading, “UIC honors Curtis Granderson.” Naturally, since this was about the Yankees ever-so-famous centerfielder, I clicked on it. “The University of Illinois at Chicago will name its new baseball stadium after Yankees center fielder and UIC alum Curtis Granderson …” I stopped mid-sentence, copied the link from my browser, and sent the article off to my Dad. Curtis Granderson, of all people, would be getting a stadium named after him. Next thing you know, Yankee Stadium will be renamed “Granderson Field” for Christ’s sake. Sure he’s a good centerfielder. Certainly he’s a respectable hitter. Yes, he’s attractive. But to treat him like the greatest thing that has roamed this earth? (No pun intended for the former Tiger.) Come on, Granderson fans. Stop lying to yourselves. I guess you could say that for me, Curtis Granderson is a sore subject. Growing up a baseball fan right outside of Detroit does something to a person — especially when it’s during Granderson’s reign. With every Tigers fan obsessing over him, it became the prime opportunity for non-tigers patrons to develop a deep-seeded grudge towards the hyped-up, overrated, slightly above-average centerfielder. Detroit fans treated Granderson like a god. Fans praised him, announcers harped on his name — all too cleverly — by putting an obnoxious amount of emphasis on the “Grand” in Granderson. You Tigers fans know exactly what I’m talking about. One of my favorite moments at Comerica was the day Josh Beckett and the Red Sox faced Granderson’s Tigers. My dad and I sat right behind home plate as we watched Beckett dismantle Granderson in four separate At-Bats, the deadly curve getting him every time. Take that, Curtis. Shortly after we moved away from Michigan, so did Granderson — to the Yankees, nonetheless. Can’t say that helped him out in our eyes. To make matters worse, he

The No. 3 Boston University women’s hockey team suffered a 3–0 loss Tuesday night against No. 5 Harvard University in the Beanpot consolation game at Matthews Arena. BU’s (18–5–3, 13–2–1 Hockey East) fourth-place finish in the tournament was the first in program history. “It’s disappointing,” said BU coach Brian Durocher. “If you can identify things to talk about, work on and correct, it makes it a little more palpable.” Durocher said the team was not at all affected by its weekend off due to the snowstorm, which included a postponed game on Saturday against the University of New Hampshire. “We had two good skates,” Durocher said. “We had a day off. We had another good skate, and we threw in some scrimmage time.” The first period was scoreless, despite Harvard’s (18–3–2) powerplay advantage on four separate occasions. Durocher said it caused the Terriers to expend a lot of valuable energy early in the game. But in the second period, the Crimson picked up speed. During BU’s fifth penalty kill of the evening — after junior co-captain Marie-Philip Poulin was called for crosschecking — Harvard forward Lyndsey Fry scored her 12th goal

W. Basketball @ Vermont, 7 p.m.

“The third one was, again, one with a little bit of luck — a good play — puck found the cage for the third one,” Durocher said. “The second one, you’ve got to be a little more resilient, and you’ve got to be able to deal with adversity and not let the second one happen. It was just too much, too fast.” During the third period, despite the team’s inability to score, the Terriers picked up their pace defensively, which may have been aided by a few line changes. “Sometimes when you’re struggling to score, you try to make a couple changes,” Durocher said of his decision to mix up the lines. “It ignites a little bit of a different energy. It probably ignited a bit of a spark, but we also played a pretty diligent, thorough and focused period. “You expect that when you haven’t played very well, and we did a good job of that in the third

Despite placing fourth in the Beanpot tournament for the first time in team history, the No. 3 Boston University women’s hockey team excelled on the penalty kill during its two losses in the tournament. Last week in the semifinal game against Northeastern University, which the Terriers (18–5– 3, 13–2–1 WHEA) lost by a score of 4–1, BU was able to kill four penalties on five attempts. Although it gave up a powerplay goal to Northeastern (15– 10–2, 8–7–1 WHEA) forward Casey Pickett early in the second period, it held on and did not give up a power-play goal for the remainder of the game. The penalty kill continued to be strong on Tuesday evening in a consolation game against No. 5 Harvard University, when the Terriers were hit with four penalties in the first period alone — tripping calls on junior defenseman Kaleigh Fratkin and junior forward Louise Warren, a hooking call on sophomore defenseman Caroline Campbell and an infraction for having too many players on the ice. But with strong defense and stellar saves from BU goalie Kerrin Sperry — who had 16 saves in

of the season off of assists from forward Samantha Reber and defenseman Sarah Edney to give Harvard a 1–0 lead. BU had difficulty regaining its composure after letting up the power-play goal, and less than 20 seconds later, Reber scored a goal of her own to put the Crimson ahead 2–0. Sophomore forward Hillary Crowe and Kelsey Tomatoski had assists on the play. “Then, the one that’s a little more frustrating is the second [goal]. We’ve got to button down the hatches,” Durocher said. “We’ve got the right people there, and we let them come down and get a quick one right after.” Less than two minutes after Reber scored her goal, she passed the puck to Crowe, who beat junior goaltender Kerrin Sperry to give the Crimson a 3–0 lead with 15:57 into the second period. Their lead remained unchallenged for the rest of the game.

Terriers win 3rd consecutive game BU expecting different UVM team By Christopher Dela Rosa Daily Free Press Staff

Coming off of an easy weekend victory against Binghamton University, the Boston University men’s basketball team took a road trip up to Burlington, Vt., to take on the University of Vermont, and came away with its third straight victory Tuesday night, by a score of 64-59. Unlike the first two games of the winning streak, the Terriers (14–11, 8–4 America East) did not get off to a good start. Against the University of Maine last week, BU was able to jump ahead 48–32 in the first half. A few days later against Binghamton University (3–22, 1–11 America East), BU had a 42–28 lead headed into the locker room. But in Tuesday’s game, it was considerably closer in the first half. BU fell early against the Catamounts (16–8, 9–3 America East). Vermont took a 7–2 lead to start off the game, capitalizing on several Terrier misses. BU made quick work of the deficit, and just a few minutes later was down only 9–8. The majority of the half was a back-and-forth af-

fair, and with 3:37 left in the half, BU took its biggest lead of the frame, 20–18. Missed shots and turnovers by forwards junior Dom Morris and freshman Nathan Dieudonne stalled BU’s offensive efforts for the rest of the half. Vermont could not do much either against BU’s pressure-filled defense, and the teams went into their locker rooms with Vermont ahead 23–22. “They’re a very good defensive team,” said BU coach Joe Jones. “You’re not going to get quick shots, you have to play through the shot clock. Both teams played excellent defense and it was hard to get a good shot early.” BU started the second half trying to work the ball into the paint a little bit more. After Vermont wasted a Morris turnover while holding a 25–22 lead early in the half, freshman guard Maurice Watson Jr. made the team’s first shot of the half with a deep 3-pointer to knot up the score at 25 apiece. Shortly after, Vermont countered with a 3-pointer from forward Clancy Rugg, but could not use the

Fresh off of its 20th victory of the season, a 73–51 win over Binghamton University last Saturday, the Boston University women’s basketball team is set to take on the University of Vermont Wednesday night in Burlington, Vt. This is the second meeting between the Terriers (20–4, 10–1 America East) and the Catamounts (7–16, 4–6 America East) this year. In the teams’ earlier match Jan. 9, BU soundly defeated Vermont, 58– 30, at Case Gym. During the contest, BU’s tenacious defense held Vermont to a paltry 24.4 field goal percentage (11-of-45). Despite the dominant effort put forward by the BU defense during the previous matchup, BU coach Kelly Greenberg does not expect another cakewalk for her Terriers. “I don’t expect [the game] to be the same, no matter what,” Greenberg said. “[The Catamounts are] going to be on their home floor and they get a great crowd who’s really into it. “I think it was one of those [games] where we jumped on them

early — offensively and defensively — and we could coast a little bit once we got them early. We expect a completely different game at their place.” Despite being nine games under .500, Vermont is 6–2 at home this season, as opposed to a dreadful 1–14 record on the road. It should be a different game with the Catamounts in the confines of Patrick Gymnasium. Currently tied for fourth in America East with a 4–6 conference record, the Catamounts are the losers of four straight games, the longest current losing streak amongst America East teams. Despite its below-average record, Vermont still boasts one of the toughest frontcourts in the conference. It is second amongst America East teams in rebounds per game (37.9) and third in blocks per game (2.8). Two Vermont players that the Terriers will have to look out for are forwards Lauren Buschmann and Niki Taylor. Buschmann is 11th amongst America East players in rebounds
