BU seeks food truck permit, more dining options BU students robbed in Brookline, police search for suspects

By Alex Diantgikis Daily Free Press Staff

While food trucks serve as a food option independent of the dining halls, Boston University might soon enter the growing market with a food truck of its own, officials said.

“We think there is a need based on areas of the campus that do not have as many dining options close at hand,” said Dining Services Director Barbara Laverdiere in an email interview. “Obviously food trucks are very popular now across the country. Hopefully students will be happy to have another venue at which they can use convenience points.”

She said the food truck menu, which consists of Asian fusion dishes. Though specifics have not yet been finalized, she said the truck would be parked at several locations throughout campus.

“We are in the process of obtaining licenses and permit,” Laverdiere said.

“Though it is a long and detailed permitting process, we are optimistic that we can make this happen this fall.”

Ryan McGuire, chef and co-owner of the Pennypacker’s Food Truck that parks on the corner of Saint Mary’s Street and Commonwealth Avenue five days a week, said a BU food truck would not be a threat to business, but said it did not fit with the traditional idea behind food trucks.

“What’s great about food trucks—independent owners, chef driven and stuff like that,” McGuire said. “It’s just another food truck, like another restaurant pops up.”

About 75 percent of their customers during the academic year are students, he said.

Co-owner of Roxy’s Grilled Cheese Mike DiSabatino said the majority of his customers are students.

Dining Services recently reported that a food truck may be coming to campus as a new dining option.

“I like the colleges,” he said. “I feel sort of at home—we get along really well.

We form a lot of regulars.”

Emma Walters, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, said she occasionally eats at food trucks because they have better food than the dining halls.

“I try not to each too much at food trucks because I live off campus, so I have to buy groceries, but on occasion, I do,” Walters said. “If you could use dining points, that’d be pretty cool.”

Blaze Travis, a freshman in CAS, said he never eats at food trucks.

“I live at Towers, so it’s like a two second walk to 100 Bay State,” he said. “I would eat [at a food truck] if they had the same type of food as 100 Bay State.”

CAS freshman Tehya Saylor said since she has a dining plan, she tries to eat from BU Dining Services, but it would be a lot

more convenient if BU had its own food truck.

DiSabatino said a new BU food truck would not change business.

“I think the food speaks for itself for most of the trucks,” he said. “One day if you’re hungry for A and one day you’re hungry for B.” Laverdiere said dining services would not consider collaborating with privately operated and owned food trucks.

Previously, McGuire said Pennypackers had tried to work out a deal with BU but they declined. However, McGuire said he is one of the five food trucks on campus that has worked out a fundraising plan with the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.

Two Boston University students were robbed on Thorndike Street in Brookline early Sunday morning, police officials said.

At 2:55 a.m. two black males, estimated to be between 16 to 20 years old, stopped the two students while displaying handguns. The suspects said the men stole their personal belongings, including cell phones and some cash, said BUPD Sergeant Jeffrey Burke.

The two students, one male and one female, were not injured.

The incident was reported immediately to Brookline Police, Burke said.

After the robbery, the suspects fled into Brookline, Burke said. BU, Brookline and Boston Police were unsuccessful in their search for the suspects.

BUPD sent an alert about the armed robbery to the BU community just before 7 p.m. Sunday night.

“It’s better to just send out the alert after we gathered as much information as we could,” Burke said.

The victims filed formal reports with BUPD Sunday.

Officers interviewed both of the victims and are assisting Brookline Police with the investigation.

Brookline Police officials were not available for comment Sunday night.

There were 24 robberies in 2011, according to the Brookline Police Department Year End Crime. Eight of the robberies involved firearms and seven occurred on a street or in a park.

Warren receives Menino endorsement, Brown campaign amps up offensive attacks

By Allie DeAngelis Daily Free Press Staff

Days after the race’s first televised debate, the Brown campaign countered Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren’s most recent endorsement with questions regarding her involvement with a massive asbestos lawsuit.

Brown gave a press conference Friday morning on issues with Traveler’s Insurance Company and a legal case involving asbestos victims. Brown claimed during Thursday night’s debate that Warren had been involved in the case.

In its most recent attack, the Brown cam-

paign cites The Boston Globe’s May findings to support its argument that Warren was working for Traveler’s Insurance to help them win immunity from future asbestos lawsuits by establishing a $500 million trust that would have been paid to present and future victims.

“You see, Professor Warren is not just a Harvard Law professor, but she is also a hired gun,” Brown said in a video of the press conference. “And in the case of Traveler’s Insurance, the largest insurance company in our country, she was hired to get them off hook, the settlement stopped by victims of asbestos poisoning.”

In the midst of questions about education

1 year later, Occupy Boston undergoes ‘revolution,’ focuses on specific projects

By Reenat Sinay Daily Free Press Staff

Nearly one year since protesters descended upon Dewey Square chanting about the 99 percent, a smaller Occupy Boston focuses its energy on more specific goals, members said.

Some Occupy members and sympathizers said the movement’s biggest accomplishment was making its issues part of the national conversation.

“We put the American people in the spotlight [and] opened people up to the oppression of the homeless and people of color to what’s going on in modern times,” said Occupy Boston member Brandon Cloran of Lynn.

Chris Faraone, a reporter for the Boston Phoenix who wrote a book on his experience at Occupy protests around the country, said

the movement successfully brought attention to wealth gaps.

“The original goal was to raise awareness about wealth disparity, and it’s absolutely done that,” he said. “The ‘99 percent’ rhetoric has taken over. That conversation would never have reached that point without them.”

Occupy movements captured significant media attention.

At its height, the Occupy movement made up 10 percent of the total news coverage in the U.S. and captured 18 percent of total public interest, according to an October 2011 Pew Research Center report.

The media attention has dropped off considerably since the original protests, Faraone said.

“The news coverage is abysmal and pa-

during the debate, Brown brought up Warren’s involvement in the asbestos case.

“I’m on the taxpayers’ side, and you had a choice to make in your career, and you chose to side with one of the biggest corporations in the United States, Traveler’s Insurance, and you worked to prohibit people who got asbestos poisoning,” he said. “I hope all of the asbestos union workers are watching right now.

She helped Traveler’s deny those benefits for asbestos poisoning.”

Warren argued that she was working to help people injured by asbestos and said Brown’s claim that she fought for the nation’s biggest insurance company was not true.

“The Boston Globe has looked at this, they’ve written about it, and it’s all there,” Warren said. “I’ve been out there for working families, I’ve been out there for working people.”

This comes in addition to continued criticism from the Brown campaign on Warren’s plan for jobs.

During the debate, Brown mentioned statistics from the National Federation of Independent Business multiple times, including claims that Warren’s plan would cost the nation 700,000 jobs, including 17,000 in Mas-

Off-Campus Council aims to protect, educate student residents

By Margaret Waterman Daily Free Press Staff

Boston University’s Off-Campus Council is focusing on increasing awareness about tenant rights as the new semester begins, its officials said.

“Our goals involve community building, neighborhood relations and safety,” said Alisha Tubis, president of OCC. “As off-campus students, we are more than part of the BU community. We are part of Cambridge, Allston, Kenmore, Brighton and even Boston as a whole.”

The council, which will hold its first official meeting of the semester on Wednesday, also hopes to hold a field day with Greek Life on Nickerson Field in the spring.

“We are trying to get a lawyer for a tenant rights safety seminar scheduled,” Tubis, a senior in Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, said. “The idea is that we bring in a lawyer from the area

and basically we hold a lecture or discussion of the basic tenant rights and living in Boston.”

The groups primary concern is safety for off-campus students, she said.

“We’re looking forward to working a lot with the school and local law enforcement in order to keep us smart, healthy and out of harm’s way,” Tubis said.

Katie Noel, a SAR senior and OCC secretary, said OCC taught her how to handle a landlord trying to pin a problem on her that was out of her control.

“One thing that I learned is to take pictures of your apartment before and after you leave,” Noel said.

Noel said she found a lot of students are unaware of their rights.

“A lot of landlords or realtors will take advantage of students because they are young,” she said.

Stephanie Carlo, a SAR senior, said she has never heard of the OCC

but did notice problems with living off-campus. “[Landlords] definitely take advantage of students,” she said. “In my last apartment, they didn’t care about anything we said, they didn’t care to clean, because we were students. I got my mom to fight for me and she got them to take us seriously.”

Pamela Chen, a senior in the School of Hospitality Administration and the OCC vice president of events, said she joined the organization to avoid falling through the cracks at BU. “I didn’t go to the GSU [George Sherman Union] once my junior year because I didn’t have to,” Chen said. “I felt that because I’m in SHA, I was really confined to that area.”

Students move off campus to avoid fines, strict resident assistants and to save money, said Colin Wolfgang, a Class of 2012 graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences and

former vice president of the OCC. “I felt like I didn’t have that many resources,” Wolfgang said.

“I feel like a lot of landlords tend to take advantage of the students in this area.”

Wolfgang felt he saved money by living off-campus and enjoyed the independence.

“I didn’t agree with the system of fines [for getting violations in the dorms],” he said. “Charging money was excessive.”

Wolfgang said he thought moving off-campus would give him more responsibility and would prepare him better for living in the real world. Now, as a graduate, he said he is glad that he did.

“It really helped me transition to post-collegiate lifestyle,” he said.

Chen said OCC worked hard to recruit new members over the summer, but still expects to see only 15 people at the meeting on Wednesday. She said they all try to bring

friends to increase their membership.

Casey Rabin, a COM senior who lives off-campus in Brookline, said that while she has had good experiences in BU housing, she likes the freedom of living on her own.

“I am close to everything, but I have my own kitchen, and I don’t pay as much,” she said. “I live with who I want to live with, and there’s no rules to abide by.”

Rabin said she didn’t know the OCC but still felt safe living offcampus. “[Dangerous situations] could happen whether you’re on campus or off campus. I still do feel very, very safe because I see police around all the time,” she said. “I think it’s mainly location-wise, just because it is in a great area and I am still close to BU and there are definitely safety measures that I’ve taken, so I’m not too concerned.”

Protester: Occupy currently most ‘exciting’ movement for generation

A year after Occupy Boston began, the movement has focused on more specific issues.

thetic,” he said. “[Reporters] are just looking in and don’t even bother to go to events or protests or interview the people involved.”

Despite the decrease in public attention, there have been several small victories in cities all over the country, Faraone said.

Occupy Boston members have

attacked Bank of America’s foreclosure policy bringing about some settlement, he said.

They also exposed the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association’s racially charged newsletter that lead to the dismissal of its editor, said Occupy member Bill Lewis.

Some members of the Boston community said they do not feel like Occupy was a successful or

productive movement.

Christine Rossell, a political science professor at Boston University, said she agrees that Occupy members’ goals were unclear and that their target was unrealistic compared to past protest movements.

“Obviously we need wealthy people in companies because they’re the ones who hire us,” she said. “We didn’t need to be in the Vietnam War, we didn’t need to discriminate against black people.”

However, she said, the movement might have successfully forced candidates to look at different tax policies for the wealthy.

“The movement probably motivated candidates to focus on that issue,” she said. “That’s [the] only effect it could possibly have — differences in tax rates for salaries versus stocks and bonds. That’s the only positive effect in my view.”

Rebecca Manski, an Occupy Wall Street press team member, said people were disappointed with the movement because they had

unrealistic expectations of what it could accomplish.

“It’s not something that can happen in one year,” she says. “Something like this can take 30 years.”

Since their last major demonstrations in the fall of 2011, Occupy Boston’s numbers have dwindled.

“The camp was hypnotizing in a way that I’d never experienced before,” Cloran said. “The feeling has changed a lot since then; it just doesn’t feel as alive.”

However, some Occupy members said they think the change can be positive.

“We’ve gone through a revolution,” said Occupy Boston facilitator Alex Ingram. “We look different, we’re smaller and less concentrated, but we can now focus on more practical and useful things.”

Some of these more focused projects include an Occupy newspaper named the Occupier and the Occupy Boston radio station, obr. fm.

“The newspaper and radio sta-

tion are in some ways so much more powerful and lasting than plopping down in a tent and waiting for people to beat the crap out of us,” he said.

Ingram said the newspaper sells out every issue and that the radio station is expanding to full-election coverage.

“Our emphasis in the next year will be on debt,” Manski said. “It really ties together all of our grievances, whether it be housing debt or student debt or medical debt.”

Ingram said the fall should reenergize the movement, as students are returning to Boston.

Ben Franta, a graduate student at Harvard University and new Occupy Boston member, said he was once cynical about the effect Occupy could have on society but has changed.

“Lately, I feel it could be really influential,” he said. “I’ve learned about economic, political and social movements of the past, and Occupy is the most exciting thing in this generation.”

Campus & City Column On Music

Music has always been an integral part of my life. When I was younger, I would obsess over CDs or be constantly tuned into the radio. When the age of MP3 players emerged, I was hardly without one.

In fact, I remember having horrible withdrawals when iPods decided to cease working. Over the past few years, I’ve defined, redefined and refined my music taste to what I believe best suits me, and I’m constantly searching for more bands to appreciate. I simply can’t get enough.

But what fascinates me about music is its KRISSEN power: its ability to KAWACHI have profound effects upon me in various moments of my life. There are times when nothing can articulate a feeling like the perfect song, or when you’re so unhappy, familiar lyrics and melodies provide an uplifting comfort or a somber commiseration. It is odd to me that often the uneasy feeling in your gut can be completely placated by a song, but that a song can also easily instill the same feeling. What is the most interesting, to me, is how much a song can be attached to something: the present and the past.

We often turn to music and latch onto the meaning of the lyrics or its general feelings, applying them to our lives in the present. When you’re sad, you gravitate to slow songs that move you, that somehow seem to understand and grip with the pain you’re feeling. When you’re happy, you want the upbeat stuff, the songs that really get your blood pumping and body racing.

And when you’re in love, you find those songs that put into words what you’re feeling in the very depth of your being. We use music as an expression of ourselves.

But then, after attaching a song to a particular moment or person, time moves on and circumstances often change. The songs don’t always stick, though. The songs you listened to in a certain low point may not instantly remind you of the moment. The love songs you once claimed expressed the feelings of one love might be thought of again for a new love. Yet, somehow, there are some songs that have attachments. For me, there are many songs that remind me of the past.

These associations are constantly being made in my life, and whether they’ll stick remains to be seen. But right now, I know that the soundtrack that’s being built for my sophomore year here at BU consists of Bon Iver, Ben Howard, The Lumineers and much more.

Music is comforting, even when it gets under your skin, helps you vent anger or helps you cry. It’s one of those universals about human beings. We can all be moved by beautiful words immersed in a background of beautiful notes.

Andy Cohen visits BU, promotes memoir SMG alumnus,

trustee donates $10M for KHC

By Megan Kirk Daily Free Press Staff

Hundreds of Boston University students and Boston locals stood in line to meet television personality Andy Cohen as he signed copies of his memoir at the university bookstore Friday night.

Cohen, a BU alumnus, held a signing of his memoir, Most Talkative: Stories from the Lines of Pop Culture, at the BU Barnes & Noble in Kenmore Square. He conversed with local fans and gave advice to students about finding success.

“Get as many internships as possible, work for free as much as you can, and let your passion guide you,” said Andy Cohen to his fans after signing more than 450 copies of his new book.

Cohen, executive vice president of development and talent for Bravo, graduated from the College of Communication in 1990. He is expected to deliver the keynote address for COM’s annual Distinguished Alumni Awards.

Cohen said it feels great to be back in Boston.

“I never get to come to Boston,” he said. “It’s really fun, and my roommate from BU is joining me tomorrow, so he and I are going to have a great time.”

A number of those standing in line said they attended to see their favorite television personality, planning to leave with the signed mem-

New building to bring more residents to West Fens

By Nicole Leonard Daily Free Press Staff

More residents will flock to the West Fens after The Abbey Group updated its $150 million plan for a building on Boylston Street.

The update will create more residential space in that part of the city.

The move comes after the BRA approved the change to the plan, according to a press release.

The Boston Redevelopment Authority approved the 348,235 square foot residential building plan, created by the Abbey Group, in 2011.

But after researching the market, the plan was recently amended by the group to convert 100,000 square feet originally set aside for commercial space into residential space, said Audrey Epstein Reny, director of marketing for The Abbey Group.

“We studied the market over the last year, and we determined that there was greater demand for additional housing in the area than additional office space,” she said.

Reny said the research also revealed that the Fenway neighborhood was looking for “increased homeownership opportunities.”

Reny said the new housing would be built at 1282 Boylston St. not only for students but also for people living and working in the area.

Reny said construction on the building, designed by architect firm Bruner/Cott & Associates, Inc., will start in the first quarter of 2013 and be finished by September 2014 for an opening in September 2015.

Matt Davis, the manager of Upper Crust on Boylston Street, said if officials let the restaurant put menus in the building, he’ll put a menu in every room.

“I hope that it brings more people here and more foot traffic [to Upper Crust],” he said.

Davis, who said the restaurant gets a lot of business from Red Sox games and deliveries to schools like Simmons College, Boston Univer-

sity and Northeastern University, said the residential building will provide customers that are just right down the street.

Native residents of the area said housing is on the more expensive side in Fenway.

Tim Leu, a resident of the area for four years, said people cannot afford the private condos in the area.

“The neighborhood needs more affordable housing,” he said. “Families can’t afford to stay in the city.

They wind up moving away, out to the suburbs.”

If there is a one-bedroom apartment in the building, it better be a big room because students will probably share it, Leu said.

The project, which costs $150 million, will create 600 construction jobs and includes 322 units, according to a BRA press release.

The ground floor will include retail space and a community center, according to the press release.

Boston University Trustee Rajen Kilachand announced Friday night he will make a further $10 million donation to BU, on top of his previous $25 million, officials said.

Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations Scott Nichols said the donation is an increase of Kilachand’s previous donation to the Arvin and Chandan Nandlal Kilachand Honors College.

“We announced Friday night that Mr. Kilachand has decided to increase his commitment from $25 million to $35 million to support Kilachand Honors College,” he said.

In September 2011, Kilachand endowed the University Honors College with $25 million, the largest donation in BU’s history, according to a previous Daily Free Press article. As a part of his donation, Kilachand requested that the school be named for his parents, Arvind and Chandan Nandlal Kilachand.

Nichols said the donation comes as part of the weekend’s kickoff of the Campaign for BU, a fundraising program with a $1 billion goal. The campaign’s start centered on this weekend’s Alumni Weekend.

“Friday night, there was a gala dinner for about 250 of the university’s leaders and major contributors,” Nichols said. “Mr. Kilachand, of course, was part of that, and he had been in conversations with the president [of BU] for quite a while, and we used that occasion to announce his decision to increase his commitment to $35 million.”

Kilachand graduated from the School of Management in 1974.

He serves as chair and president of the Dodsal Group, a Dubai, United Arab Emirates-based conglomerate that operates in trading, engineering and manufacturing, among other fields.

Nichols said two of Kilachand’s sons also attended BU. Kilachand is also a member of the board of Pathfinder International, a nonprofit organization

Allston celebrates diversity, culture in Allston Village Street Fair

By Katherine Lynn Daily Free Press Staff

Boston residents enjoyed free food samples, music, chalk art and more in Allston on Sunday afternoon with the annual Allston Village Street Fair.

The fair attracted hundreds of local vendors, musicians and artists to celebrate the Allston neighborhood.

Attendees sampled free food as well as local and ethnic food at various stands. More than 20 different musical groups performed at the fair, including a salsa group.

“I thought it went pretty well,” said Joan Pasquale, executive director of the Parents and Community Build Group of Allston, which organized the fair. “The whole idea of the festival is to celebrate the concept of neighbors, neighborhood,

and community.”

Pasquale said thousands of people attended the fair.

The fair also featured a parade down Brighton Avenue. Local Allston organizations, cultural groups and marching bands, including the Boston University and Boston College bands, marched through the fair.

“That’s what the street fair is all about and was always meant to be, to celebrate the wonderful culture diversity of New England and Boston and especially Allston,” Pasquale said, “because Allston has always been culturally diverse and welcoming.”

A jumping castle, face painting and a Velcro wall provided entertainment for children.

One of the most popular attractions was street chalk decoration,

which was sponsored by ArtStreet, a nonprofit that promotes the creation of artwork in the community.

Robert Guillemin, a BU graduate known as “Sidewalk Sam,” created ArtStreet more than 40 years ago. Guillemin said he has attended every Allston Village Street Fair since the first one.

“Today I am doing something special,” Guillemin said. “One thousand people by the end of the day will join me and draw something joyous and something that shows their love of life. I love the spirit of people, the causal abundant joy that spills out onto the street.”

Pasquale said other events in the fair allow people to create art on the street and this year, there were more than 2,000 pieces of street art cre-

Food Trucks support SigEp Warren inches beyond Brown in recent polls students to participate. If the fundraiser goes well, Valentine said he plans to conduct the fundraiser yearly.

“Last year, I don’t think I ate at a food truck once,” Valentine said. “Since they’re so new, I think the idea of them is hopefully going to, sort of, like, explode.

I’m looking for this to be one of the catalysts for that to happen.

We’re kind of just trying to help that exponential growth of interest and profits for them.”

Valentine said the fundraiser originally started with the idea for a food truck festival, but BU did not approve the proposal.

Valentine said BU has very strict rules and standards for food truck vendors on campus.

“It definitely puts a strain on the number of businesses like food trucks,” he said, “not even specifically food trucks, but anything like that to come on campus.”

truck fundraiser to raise money for his fraternity’s Balanced Man Scholarship taking place Sept. 24 through Sept. 29.

“Food trucks are just sort of becoming more popular around city areas and specifically college campuses,” Valentine, a College of Engineering junior, said. “I started going to them a lot during the summer when I worked here, when I forgot to pack lunch.”

SigEp is collaborating with five trucks frequently on campus, including Paris Creperie, Pennypackers, Chicken & Rice Guys, Cookie Monstah and Momogoose.

A percentage of the total income from the trucks’ stop at BU over the course of the week will be donated to SigEp’s scholarship fund.

“We worked something out that would be mutually beneficial [with Valentine],” McGuire said.

The participating trucks will each feature a SigEp-themed dish for the week, Valentine said. He said he expects more than 300

sachusetts.

Brown’s spokesman Colin Reed repeated the NFIB statistics, saying that Warren’s “agenda would be bad for jobs and bad for our economy at a time when we can least afford it.”

The July study reports that in the long run, an increase in taxes would cause employment to “fall by 0.5 percent or, roughly 710,000 fewer jobs, in today’s economy.”

The statement reflects Brown’s repeated criticism of Warren’s tax plan, which the Brown campaign says includes a $3.4 trillion tax hike.

But Principal Deputy Director of the National Economic Council Jason Furman found in July that the study has “major flaws, errors and misleading statements,” according to the White House blog.

“Even setting aside the fact that the study ignores the effects of the president’s tax proposals on shortterm growth and long-term deficit reduction, the conclusions are still dramatically out-of-line with estimates by other analysts,” according to Furman’s analysis on the blog, “including not only the Congressional Budget Office but also the Bush Administration Treasury Department.”

Warren spokeswoman Julie Edwards said in an email that Warren thinks the government should be focused on putting people back to work in Massachusetts.

“Her ‘Rebuild Now’ plan is a fully paid for investment in our future that would help support thousands of jobs here in the Commonwealth,” she said. “Her plan would also help strengthen our infrastructure and create an environment where businesses can grow and succeed.”

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, whose endorsement for Warren has been long-anticipated, endorsed Warren at a Roslindale Square rally on Friday.

ternoon.

Menino said he chose to endorse her after getting to know and respect her and her work for the middle class.

The mayor only addressed Brown once in his endorsement speech when speaking about the jobs issue.

“Elizabeth got my approval when she backed the president’s jobs bills last fall,” he said. “They would have supported thousands of jobs in Boston, but Scott Brown voted against them.”

The endorsement capped off a week during which Warren gained momentum in the polls.

But more voters who watched Thursday’s debate thought Brown won, according to a survey of likely voters in Massachusetts from Kimball Political Consulting, a rightleaning firm.

Fifty percent of those surveyed said Brown won the debate, while only 40 percent thought Warren won.

The number of Independents who said Brown won was more than twice the number of Independents who said he did not.

The poll also shows Brown leading by one point, which falls within the 3.25 percent margin of error.

The unapologetically quirky Dr. Dog at The Royale

“

Are you sure this isn’t a hipster band?

They feel hipster to me,” I heard a 40-year-old woman say to her teenage daughter.

At first glance, an outsider probably would have questioned what kind of performance was about to take place. Audience members ranged from middle-age parents with preteen children to flannel-clad college students to tough-looking 30-somethings, all eager to see indie-pop sensation Dr. Dog Friday night at the Royale. The only consistency among the crowd was the abundance of pompom-topped Dr. Dog beanies bobbing up and down to the music from the first note of the first song: “The Rabbit, the Bat and the Reindeer” from the band’s 2008 album Fate.

Bass player Toby Leaman and lead guitarist Scott McMicken split lead vocals, but guitarist Frank McElroy, drummer Eric Slick and keyboard player Zach Miller each contributed to Dr. Dog’s characteristic harmonies. Meanwhile, Dmitri “Meatball” Manos stood behind an electronics board dubbed the “Meatball Palace” where he added 1960s-inspired psychedelic beats and distortions to the performance.

putting on a show and more as though they invited the audience into the cozy Philadelphia basement where they first recorded music together. A homemade Dr. Dog version of the American flag set the backdrop of the stage. Bright Jolly Rancher-esque lights illuminated the vintage speakers strewn almost haphazardly around the band. Even the instruments were casual and campy. Slick’s drums were written on in sloppy cursive, and McMicken (who shamelessly wore a Dr. Dog t-shirt) played a guitar covered in orange duct tape on which he had written “strum machine” in permanent marker.

The band was energetic, hopping up and down to the beat and engaging with the crowd. At one point, Leaman grabbed a phone from an audience member during the middle of a song and wailed the lyrics to the person on the other end.

Perhaps the biggest hit of the night was Dr. Dog’s infamous rock cover of Architecture in Helsinki’s electropop song, “Heart it Races.” Other highlights included the hit “Lonesome” off their most recent album, Be the Void, and a four-song encore during which fans enthusiastically shook the floor with their dancing.

Addis Red Sea —A Taste of Ethiopia in the South End Katie Doyle and Marisa Benjamin

Addis Red Sea is one of the few Ethiopian restaurants in Boston.

I

Food Editor - Katie Doyle

n the minds of most Bostonians, the South End culinary scene boasts an air of bourgeoisie sophistication, with polite and polished restaurants dappling Tremont Street, the neighborhood’s lifeline like a series of high-end boutiques. But nestled in a downstairs nook towards the east end of Tremont is a dining gem of a different set, Addis Red Sea, one of Boston’s few Ethiopian restaurants.

From the outside, Addis Red Sea is modest in comparison to some of its South End neighbors, but a few steps down the stair-

way that descends from the street a warm, inviting ambiance, with service to match, is revealed, much different from some of the uppity establishments on Tremont. True to its name, Addis Red Sea is a genuine Ethiopian eatery. Even the décor reflects the restaurant’s authenticity, with the traditional “mesab” table, so low that it barely brushes one’s knees, surrounded by squat wicker stools.

The dining set-up, which feels foreign at first, ends up to be far more than just a nod to the restaurant’s Ethiopian roots. The small, round table is in fact necessary to accommodate the way the food is served. While each guest orders his or her own entrée, the meals are distributed collectively on a round piece of “injera” bread, which is served on a tray that fits snugly on the tabletop.

The injera bread is very much the hallmark of an Ethiopian meal, not only taking the place of the plate, but also the silverware, as squares of the bread, which are served on the side, are used in the same way one would use a fork. While injera might be viewed as more of a utility than a delicacy, Ethiopian food cannot be discussed without acknowledging it. Not only is injera surprisingly healthy, as it is low in calories, glutenfree and high in fiber and protein, but it is strangely delicious, with a spongy, doughy texture and a satisfying taste that is sure to have diners asking their servers for second, thirds and fourths.

Of course, as addicting as injera is, it really is just a backdrop to the entrée. Addis Red Sea’s diverse menu offers many types of main dishes, including chicken, lamb, beef and fish, as well as vegetarian and vegan meals. Although there are many options

Marie Antoinette ­

Part Sex in the City, Part Moulin Rouge Justin Soto

for diners to choose from, in almost every section of the menu, rich flavors and hearty textures abound, complemented with notes of ginger, garlic and herbs, and set off by a spicy side dish of berbere sauce, a delicious Ethiopian staple.

Of all the vegetarian dishes, the Mittin Shuro Wot is the best bet. The meal’s main component, ground split peas, offer a satisfying consistency that strikes just the right balance between light and heavy. The peas are simmered in berbere sauce, which adds a nutty flavor that is spicy but subdued. The earthy texture of the ground split peas and the zest of the berbere sauce prove to be the perfect complement to the injera bread, resulting in a combination that is robust and savory without overwhelming the palate.

Gored Gored is considered Ethiopia’s national meat entrée, and is one of Addis Red Sea’s most popular dishes. The traditional cubed beef is slowly cooked producing a consistently tender, juicy bite. It is lightly marinated in mixture of berbere, onions and ginger roots, which give the beef a natural yet spicy flavor. A savory herbal butter adds a rich-creamy texture to the dish. While the butter may overwhelming at first, the injera bread quickly soaks up the excess, leaving perfectly marinated meat.

From the doting wait staff to the intriguing African décor, you’ll find yourself completely immersed in a warm Ethiopian atmosphere. While the ambiance of Addis Red Sea speaks to its authenticity, ultimately, the food speaks for itself. After all, any other restaurant in the South End, you might lick your plate clean. At Addis Red Sea, where the addicting injera bread is your plate, you’ll eat it.

Onstage and in their music, it doesn’t seem as though they’re trying to be anything — they’re simply being, and maybe that’s why so many different types of people could enjoy their performance.

In its quaint Loeb Drama Center, The American Repertory Theater in Cambridge is housing playwright David Adjmi’s world premiere of Marie Antoinette. Though the play’s name gives a strictly historical vibe of the French Revolution, the performance will send you on an emotional roller coaster of laughter and tears.

Self-described as “part ‘Sex in the City,’ part ‘Moulin Rouge,’ part modern, part historical, part drama and part comedy,” Marie Antoinette makes for the perfect tragicomedy. The costumes and set match up to what 18th century royalty must have looked like, and as the queen, Marie is quite privileged and well aware of her position as the one percent in society The witty dialogue and unexpected conversations combined with history bring laughter to the audience. Marie and her husband banter back and forth, especially about his erectile dysfunction, which prevents Marie from bearing a child until Louis XVI gets surgery. With this type of comic relief prevalent, Adjmi did need to include deep interpretation and long explanations about Marie Antoinette’s life that would only bore the audience much like a history book.

In hopes of starting a counter-revolution, Marie and Louis attempt to flee Paris during the Flight to Varennes. They are hopeful that they can escape the drama that was wreaking havoc on their lives in Paris.

Brooke Bloom, the actress who played Marie, does a phenomenal job throughout this play in seamlessly depicting the emotional battle that Marie is going through in her own head. Steven Rattazzi, the actor who played Louis XVI, is equally as brilliant as Brooke in depicting this emotional battle that eventually tears them apart.

From joy to sadness, the story of Marie Antoinette is one sure to spark pure fascination and intrigue in the heart of any history buff or average playgoer.

“Marie Antoinette” continues its showing now through Saturday at Loeb Drama Center.

Guns on campus The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in March that the University of Colorado Boulder must allow “those with Colorado concealed weapons permits to carry their guns on campus,” according to an article in The New York Times Saturday.

Now, that ruling is causing some faculty members unease, according to The Times.

Karen Jacobs, an English professor at CU-Boulder, said that the concealed gun policy “will create a climate of fear and intimidation” where individuals are afraid to speak their minds on controversial issues.

Jacobs’ concern is realistic. Students may be discouraged from voicing an unpopular opinion in class if their classmates have the opportunity to pack guns. Universities have been (and should continue to be) breeding grounds for free and lively conversations.

That being said, individuals have a constitutional right to bear arms. CU-Boulder is a public university. When school officials start abridging students’ rights at public universities, or any, they enter dangerous terri-

tory.

That doesn’t mean to say that private universities should abridge those rights, just that under law, students at publically funded universities enjoy all of their constitutional freedoms.

Moreover, public universities tend to have large number of students who commute to class. It may be unrealistic to ask those students to discard their guns at the door when they do not have access to lockers or other safe places to store them.

However, that brings up the question of students who live on campus. Where do universities draw the line between where students can and cannot possess their concealed guns? If they are allowed in the classrooms, are they allowed in the dorms? Concealed guns seem even less appropriate in the dorm environment.

It would be interesting to see whether any students share their faculty’s concerns about concealed guns in the classroom. It seems likely that a number of them would.

Police departments online

Several police departments south of Boston have amped up their social media presence, according an article in The Boston Globe Sunday.

Twitter and Facebook are the two social media sites that police departments are using the most, according to The Globe.

Officers will post photos or video of suspects, issue alerts or respond to editorials via those sites.

Moreover, citizens curious about elevated police presence in their neighborhood can check their department’s Twitter or Facebook page for more information, bringing the police scanner into the 21st century, in a way. This is incredibly useful to people who lack the time or motivation to walk over to their police department and check the logs.

There are other benefits to police departments’ increased online presence.

Frequent online commentary between citizens and officers increases police transparency. Increased transparency can lead to

better working relations between officers and citizens.

Increased social media usage will also create job opportunities for young people.

Most millennials have a strong grasp of social media and can bring their skills into those departments.

Detailed, online posts about police situations are also useful to reporters. A comprehensive tweet or Facebook post may help reporters inform their audience about a situation before an interview with a sergeant can be secured.

However, every company or organization can only be so transparent.

It will be interesting to see what happens when a police department that promotes transparency isn’t transparent about certain things, like internal strife.

Looking forward, will other police departments jump on the social media bandwagon? When there are so many benefits: increased transparency, jobs opportunities, why not?

Love and dreams in a Cantab basement ANNE WHITING

aving lived abroad, I’m no stranger to the awkward feeling of being l’étranger (the stranger) in an unfamiliar room of regulars — encroaching where I do not belong is my specialty. Comment, Monsieur Waiter? You do not want me in your trés chic restaurant? Too bad, I’d like a grande café crème, s’il vous plaît.

They say life begins at the end of your comfort zone. But though I made a point of visiting every bar in Pigalle and still dream of Bali and New Delhi, I’m pretty selfconscious in new scenarios. Nevertheless, I am taking heed of Thursday columnist Ariel Egan’s advice by “de-perching” myself from my comfortable apartment to set out along the red brick roads of Boston and go exploring.

Last week, my efforts proved successful, and amid familiar street names and buildings I stumbled upon a new world: The Underworld. Just kidding. My new hideout is no Hades-dominated hot house, nor is it similar to the underground clubbing scene of East London. By underworld, I’m referring to the Cantab Lounge basement’s Wednesday night slam poetry scene, where $3 buys entry to a venue boasting dim red lights, Pabst Blue Ribbon décor, the scent of an old bowling alley and exposed orange and black piping that reads “Death of the Cool.” Unsure of what to make of things, I sat down and eyed the girls with blue and pink hair sitting next to an entirely normal looking middleaged man as the host announced, enthusiastically, that flash photography is not allowed because experience is more important than documentation.

In my hometown, the city of love — Paris, not Minneapolis — duh — la poésie is a crucial part of a well-cultured and promising existence. If you can recite Rimbaud to your date, you can count on eggs in the morning. Regardless, as accustomed as I am to being lost in translation with a bunch of well-versed Science Po studs, I have zero knowledge of the Boston slam poetry, spoken-word, open mic terrain. I can work my way around a few language barriers, but I’m usually at a total loss for words in the field of shameless self-expression, loud and proud description. If you’d asked me who the poetic voice of my college generation was, I might have answered Sam Adams (the rapper, not the long dead brewer of beer).

And so it begins. First act, surprisingly, is not a depressed or dreadlocked teenager, but an old man in his 60s in cargo pants and a T-shirt reciting e. e. cummings insights about how “a salesman is an it that stinks to please.” I don’t get it, but the moral of the

session is that freedom is a breakfast food.

Up next is a Ryan Gosling look-alike spending a good five minutes defending the rights of a McDonald’s public restroom.

Some read their poems on their cell phones. A young man named Nathan, who left his poem in his printer, wrote a poem on his laptop in the voice of the moon who was not happy about being compared to your lover. “I shine on others, so obviously I shine on her,” it begins. A newcomer named Marcello pretty beautifully described the cannibalistic sensation of tasting the insides of his own mouth, and a young woman ended a poem by saying that her rosy cheeks keep mistaking themselves for ankles.

I’m as confused here as I ever was in a French movie theater, but listening to the words of a woman who claimed she hadn’t written since graduate school, joining in rambunctious claps and woots after each act, hearing the host complain about how bad the new house tequila is, I couldn’t help but feel that my tweed blazer and suede boots were, in fact, an acceptable addition to the colored hair and bike helmets around me, and that as long as I appreciated new and beautiful thoughts, I wasn’t out of place. In Converse and clogs, with Magners and Moleskines, people come to the underworld of Cantab in the middle of week to embrace, if not just remember, with prose a bit more beautiful than that of dinner table conversations, such rampant human topics like disease, death, hearts, houses, newspapers, cholesterol, Alzheimer’s, certainty, the future, family, tragedy, coffee, diners, shelter, fortunes, brunch, check-paying, broken hearts, video stores, lighthouses, oceans, storms, sun, shoreline, still nights, love, dreams …vous comprenez?

Turns out a slam poetry scene is just basic people with basic voices expressing basic sentiments in a non-basic way. (I mean, really non-basic: On Wednesday — I almost forgot — it was National Speak Like a Pirate Day. “ARRRRR!” we all said, when a pirate poet read his campaign for captain-hood, describing his opponent as a “barnicle-arsed whale f—er who likes to flog people.”)

Can’t get much more welcoming than that.

Maybe next time I’ll try it. I’ll write a satirical piece about France, or something about how adventure is out there, particularly when you’re lost in Bastille but also, it would appear, just an MBTA bus ride away.

Second-half offense sparks 2 Terrier victories over Wolfpack, Great Danes Women’s soccer: From page 8

The goal put her in a tie for the team-high of three.

Entering Sunday’s game against Albany (3–7–1, 0–1 America East), the Terriers were looking to take advantage of their momentum to earn their first victory against an America East opponent.

The Terriers came out, once again, victorious by a final score of 3–1.

The game mirrored the team’s previous game at NC State with the Terriers once again keeping the ball on their Great Danes’ side of the field for the better part of the game.

The Terriers also dominated the shot category, out-shooting Albany 18–1, with the lone shot resulting in Albany’s one goal.

Albany, nevertheless, struck first with a breakaway goal from senior Chelsea DeVerna.

“It was uncomfortable there when we got scored on, but ... we showed steadiness,” said BU coach Nancy Feldman on the goal.

As a result of consistent offensive harassment, the Terriers were awarded nine corner kicks in the first half, compared to six total in the game prior.

They were unable, however, to generate a goal from these corner kicks, but still found offense in other places.

Coming off of the bench, senior forward Brea Hewitt made an immediate contribution.

With her first touch on the right side of the pitch, she beat her defender to the inside and fired a rocket past the goalkeeper for her third goal of the season and the game’s equalizer.

“I knew that when I was coming in, we were down 1–0, and I just wanted to be a spark,” Hewitt said.

The Terriers took the field in the second half with the same sense of urgency with which they started the match.

Nine minutes into the second half, sophomore forward Dara DeMatteo found the net for her first goal of her career, which would also serve as the deciding goal in the match.

“It was huge, I’ve always wanted to be a contributor on this team and it feels good,” Dematteo said about her goal.

DeMatteo had been seeing limited action prior to this game, but due to her work ethic and persistence, she was inserted into the rotation, “She’s practiced her way into

the lineup … in the last few days since we got back from NC State, she’s out-practiced other players,” Feldman said.

As the game began to wind down with the Terriers in control, junior midfielder Emma Clark connected with Cuffia for an insurance goal, giving Cuffia her third goal of the season and putting her in the three-way tie for the team lead of three goals with Hewitt and Clemens.

The win kept a streak alive for the Terriers, as BU has still never lost to Albany at women’s soccer.

Since the team’s began playing against each other in 1999, BU has defeated Albany in each of the teams’ 14 matchups.

Among these wins was a Terrier victory over the Great Danes in the America East championship game last season.

BU shut out Albany 2–0 en route to an NCAA tournament berth.

The two wins will help the Terriers on their quest for an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, as the team is ineligible to compete in the America East tournament this season.

“It’s one in the books for us out of the eight conference games that we have, and each one for us is our tournament,” Feldman said.

Junior forward Madison Clemens is tied for the team-lead with three goals on the season.

game tied entering the second half, sophomore Dara DeMatteo scored the first goal of her collegiate career at 54:40, giving the Terriers a 2–1 lead. At 73:46, sophomore Cuffia scored in her second straight game, giving the Terriers a 3–1 lead. Junior midfielder Emma Clark assisted on Cuffia’s goal.

The Terriers held onto the lead and defeated the Albany, 3–1, improving to 14–0 all-time against the Albany Great Danes. The team also outshot Albany 18–1 during the game.

“We showed steadiness, we could’ve gotten frantic,” Feldman said. “It took us a while to get the goal back and I think it was good mentality, good psychology and good calmness to tie the game before going into

halftime, and then take care of business in the second half.”

When asked what she thought was the main turn-around in the team’s scoring over the last two games, Feldman was quick to acknowledge the stiff competition that the team had faced prior to the games against NC State and Albany.

“Stanford is one of the top teams in the country, Santa Clara is in the

top 30, UMass defends very well and has very good goalkeeping ... I don’t think necessarily it’s about us, sometimes it’s about the opponent,” she said.

Despite scoring six goals over the last two games, Feldman acknowledged that the team still has things to work on.

“I think our urgency to penetrate could still be better, our urgency in

the box could still be better,” Feldman said. “Our inconsistency is really our youth, and that’s not an excuse, it’s a reality, so we have to be more consistent, we have to be more precise, we have to be better in critical moments ... and that’s why we practice.”

BU will look to continue its scoring streak against the University of Maine on Thursday.

particularly in the first half.”

As the second half began, the Terriers did not make many changes. They kept their starting group out on the field, and stuck with their original strategy solely because lack of execution was the only thing holding them back in the first half.

Unfortunately for the Terriers, it seemed their nemesis began to show itself in the form of fatigue.

“It’s gotten better, it’s gotten a whole lot better,” Starr said about her team’s conditioning. “I think the first half we definitely had a little bit more pop in our legs and a little bit cleaner play. In the second half, I didn’t really feel a big drop like the Syracuse game.

That’s definitely something where

we’re improving.”

As time progressed in the second half, BU players were slowing down and letting Virginia control the ball, which hindered their ability to attack the goal.

With about 10 minutes remaining and the score still 2-0, Coach Starr chose took a timeout in an attempt to get a point on the board and hopefully start a quick comeback.

“After the timeout we changed a lot, we moved some people around, really tried to create a right side emphasis, we really felt we had a mismatch with them on our right side,” Starr said. “Maybe we could have done that a little bit earlier, but when it worked, it worked really well, particularly after the timeout.”

Even though they were able to

get the ball into Virginia territory following the timeout, the Terriers were unable to get the ball into the goal, or even get a good shot off.

Minutes later, the final horn blew, with BU losing its third game of the year and Virginia winning its ninth.

While BU took the loss, it is not all bad news for the team: on Sunday, the team welcomed freshman Sofi Laurito back onto the field.

“I think getting Sofi back ... she’s been injured since the beginning of the Providence game, so I think she really gave us a good spark in the midfield, an area where we need more speed, more athleticism,” Starr said. “I think [getting her back] is a real positive.”

Now, it is apparent that Ruikka will not only return to the team, but he will be one of the team’s leaders, as he was named assistant captain for the 2012-13 season on Thursday. The fifth-year senior will serve his position alongside senior captain Wade Megan, who was named BU’s captain back in April.

Ruikka only played in 29 games last season, as he was a healthy scratch for 10 of the team’s 39 games. In those 29 games, the blueliner notched five assists while having an even plus-minus rating.

Breeding success?

BU also announced the team’s 2012-13 roster on Thursday, and it included one surprise. Freshman forward Nick Breed made the team as a walk-on, becoming the team’s 16th forward.

Breed reigns from Cape Elizabeth, Maine — the hometown of former BU captain and forward Doug Friedman — and he led Maine Class B hockey with 34 goals his senior year with Cape Elizabeth High School, earning a spot on the AllState team.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound forward is the 10th member of the team’s freshman class, which makes up 38 percent of the team’s 26-man roster.

Women’s soccer wins matchups over NC State, Albany Terriers’ offense emerge from 3-game drought

BU takes back-to-back 3–1 wins over weekend

By Matthew Fils-Aime Daily Free Press Contributor

Heading into this week’s slate of games, the Boston University women’s soccer team was looking to end its offensive woes as it insentered the America East portion of its schedule.

The Terriers did so in a big way, exploding six goals in two games against North Carolina State and the University at Albany.

The Terriers (5–-5–-1, 3 BU 1–-0 America East) trav1 eled to Raleigh, N.C., NC State on Thursday to take on the NC State Wolfpack (5–-6) in their final non3 BU conference matchup. The 1 game began slowly with Albany no goals coming in the first half.

Just five minutes into the second half, a foul in the box allowedgave junior midfielder Megan McGoldrick a penalty kick, which she stuffed in the back of the net.

McGoildrick’s goal gave the Terriers the lead and ended their three-game scoring drought.

Later in the match, the Wolfpack evened the score with a goal off of a loose ball from junior Jennie Krauser.

The Terriers, however, were once again on the attack when with sophomore back Kai Miller crossed the ball into the box and found fellow sophomore Ana Cuffia, who logged her second goal of the season.

The Terriers spent a lot of time on the NC State side of the field, with a shot differential of 16­­­–8 with 11 of those shots coming in the second half.

The final goal of the match came late from junior forward Madison Clemens.

Junior midfielder Megan McGoldrick opened the scoring for BU with a goal off a penalty kick in the Terriers’ 3­–1 win over NC State.

After the Boston University women’s soccer team’s three-game scoreless stretch, it seems the Terriers’ offense is finally starting to come around.

At the Sept. 20 game at North Carolina State, the Terriers erupted for three goals in the second half against the Wolfpack, finally breaking out of their scoring slump. Junior Megan McGoldrick scored her first goal of the season on a penalty kick during the 51st minute, giving BU a 1–0 lead.

After NC State tied the game again, sophomore forward Ana Cuffia scored the winning goal for the Terriers in the 67th minute of play.

Junior forward Madison Clemens scored once more for the Terriers with less than two minutes to play in the game, sealing the deal for the Terriers. The Terriers beat North Carolina with a 3–1 victory.

BU coach Nancy Feldman believed the scoring outburst at NC State created a lot of momentum for the team.

“We’ve definitely had some bumps,” Feldman said. “We’ve been competing so well but weren’t getting the wins. I think the NC State win and performance ... was a confidence builder and a good one coming into conference play. I think it helped right the ship psychologically.”

Feeding off the momentum from Thursday’s game, the Terriers entered America East play with a home game against the University at Albany Sunday afternoon and continued their offensive hot streak.

No. 12 field hockey loses 2–0 to No. 7 Nieto, Noonan among players selected to Cavaliers, falls to 1–2 on home field preseason All-Hockey East team by media

By Christopher Dela Rosa Daily Free Press Contributor

On a sunny Sunday afternoon at Jordan Field, the No.12 Boston University field hockey team played host to the No. 7 University of Virginia Cavaliers in another battle amongst ranked teams.

Entering Sunday’s game, BU (6-3) was looking to build off of a well-earned 3–2 victory in double overtime against No. 25 Massachusetts. “[We want to] make 2 sure we’re healthy and Virginia ready to compete for 70 0 BU minutes and to take advantage of scoring opportunities,” BU coach Sally Starr said about her mindset coming into the matchup with the Cavaliers.

At first it seemed as if BU was onto something with its new attack mentality.

The Terriers pushed the ball into Virginia’s territory from the start and was able to put pressure on Virginia’s defense.

They also earned early corners, but failed to execute and knock the ball into the goal.

by BU, the Cavaliers made some moves of their own. Fortunately for the Cavaliers, they were able to covert on their few opportunities.

In the eighth minute, sophomore Rachel Sumfest scored on a shot into the corner of the goal that slipped past sophomore goalkeeper Valentina Cerda Eimbcke.

With 7:35 remaining in the first half, senior Paige Selenski scored and increased Virginia’s lead to 2–0.

“I felt really good about the first half.

We outshot them 8–4, we really had some outstanding scoring opportunities,” Starr said. “We would have loved to put some of those home. We’ll be looking at that to see whether it was great goaltending or we just made the goalie look really good.”

Starr said she believes it was a combination of the two.

“I really liked how we created good attack on the field, got four corners as well, and then on the flip side we gave up no corners and this is an extremely good attacking team,” she said. “I was pleased with how we were able to compete with them,

The Boston University men’s hockey team has been selected to finish third in Hockey East this season, according to a preseason Hockey East Writers and Broadcasters Association poll released Sunday.

The only teams picked to finish ahead of the Terriers were defending national champions Boston College (21 first-place votes) and the University of Massachusetts-Lowell (three first-place votes). Maine, picked to finish sixth, received the other first-place vote. Members of the media who cover the conference’s ten teams in various capacities voted in the poll.

Forward Matt Nieto and defenseman Garrett Noonan, both juniors, were selected to the preseason All-Hockey East team. Last year, the then-sophomores recorded 42 and 27 points respectively, each contributing 16 goals.

Women tabbed to finish second The women’s hockey team is expected to be similarly successful, according to another preseason poll released Thursday. The Hockey East coaches picked the Terriers, the 2012 conference tournament champions, to finish second out of the league’s eight teams.

Wednesday, Sep. 26 No Games Scheduled The replay has now been integrated into Sportscenter’s opening montage.

BU received three of the eight first-place votes, with Boston College (five, picked to finish first) getting the rest.

Captained by junior forward Marie-Philip Poulin, who missed much of last season to injury, and senior forward Jill Cardella, the Terriers will look to build on their two consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.

“One of the real focuses here is to try and have the entire season be a strong body of work, and ultimately earn your way into the NCAA tournament,” said BU head coach Brian Durocher during Thursday’s Hockey East conference call. “I’d like to think we’ve got enough talent here to certainly challenge to do that.”

The team will open the season at 3 p.m.
