After missing two of her first three seasons on the women’s soccer team, Johnson returns to campus refreshed and fully healthy for the first time in her college career BEN TARHAN

SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

’Dea Johnson knew she was going to get better. The more time she spent in the hospital, wondering what was wrong with her and when she would get better, the more set she became on her goals. Her hospital bed was not going to hold her back – not after the redshirt sophomore had overcome a torn ACL and become the women’s soccer team’s leading goal scorer. “I always knew I was going back to school and there were people there that loved me. And my parents loved me,” Johnson said. “I just knew that one day I would get better. I didn’t know when I was going to get better, but I knew I was going to get better.” Though she led UB in scoring in the spring of 2013, Johnson quietly battled stomach pain due to gastritis. When she returned home to Long Island for the summer, she got sicker than she had been all spring. She wound up hospital bound for three months. She missed the preseason, and the Friday before classes started in August, her father told her she wouldn’t be returning to Buffalo for school. Every morning for the next week, Johnson cried when she woke up. Her family, friends and teammates rallied around her. Wayne Johnson, her father, put up pictures of the girl who had proven she was worth a Division I soccer scholarship. Pamela Johnson, her mother, slept on a cot in her hospital room. John-

son’s teammates Skyped with her every day and sent her care packages. In June, when she first got into the hospital, a friend Instagrammed a picture with a quote: “An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backwards. When life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.” Johnson left the hospital for good in November and says she’s as mentally and physically healthy as she has ever been. She’s ready, she says, to release her arrow. ***

ohnson has a theory. Whenever she sets a goal, some obstacle blocks her from the finish line and forces her to prove her commitment. Before she can launch herself at her goal, she has to be pulled back. She tore her ACL the spring before her freshman season started. Before she even arrived on campus, she had to call thenhead coach Michael Thomas and tell him she couldn’t play. Her mother said it was like receiving a gift and then having it taken away. But Thomas wasn’t taking anything away. He said that revoking

her scholarship would have been counterproductive to UB’s women’s soccer program. Unable to play her freshman season, Johnson had to find new ways to help her team – she became their biggest fan. Current head coach Shawn Burke, then an assistant, described her as everybody’s best friend. “I think that N’Dea is just different in an amazing way,” said Johnson’s close friend and teammate defender Natalie Jurisevic. “If that were me coming in, I would have been shy. It would have been hard for me to meet people. But with her, she’s just

N’Dea. She was always known that way.” Johnson has straight black hair and mocha skin. Thomas calls her sense of humor “rye” and says it’s effective because of her timing and witty one-liners. Burke says Johnson is always upbeat and bright eyed – the first athlete to say good morning at 7 a.m. practices – regardless of whether she can participate. By the spring of 2012, Johnson was back on the pitch with her teammates. She scored a goal in her first game back – a moment she describes as her favorite college soccer memory so far – and played her first fall season later that year. By the spring of 2013, Johnson was showing that she was regaining the full potential of her athletic ability. Her athleticism had returned to her 5-foot-3 frame and she led the Bulls in goals that spring. Onlookers would have never guessed that she was still recovering from a torn ACL. But despite her strong performance on the field, Johnson was dealing with new pain in her stomach. A doctor diagnosed her with gastritis, meaning the lining of her stomach had become swollen, and prescribed her medication to help with the pain. Senior midfielder Courtney Gross, one of Johnson’s best friends on the team, said Johnson didn’t show it on the field. When Johnson got home to Long Island, though, it got worse. After she left work early one afternoon because the pain had become unbearable, her mom convinced her to go to the hospital. A CAT scan revealed she had an inflamed appendix. SEE N’DEA, PAGE 6

Medical school receives Flood causes water damage in dorms $5 million donation Students frustrated with UB’s cleanup AARON MANSFIELD EDITOR IN CHIEF

The John R. Oishei Foundation, Western New York’s largest private foundation, announced Wednesday that it has contributed a $5 million donation to UB’s new School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in downtown Buffalo. The medical school, which will cost $375 million total and will comprise seven stories and 540,000 square feet, will be constructed in 2016. “The Oishei Foundation recognizes the new UB medical school as a game-changing addition to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. It will redefine our region as a hub for the very best in health care,” Oishei Foundation President Robert D. Gioia said in a press release. “With this gift, we join UB as fellow catalysts for change that will dramatically enhance our community’s economic vitality and quality of life.” The medical school has thus far received funding from the state, individual donors and private companies. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who broke ground on the campus Oct. 15 and said, “When we put the shovel into the ground today,

that was a shovel toward the new future of Buffalo,” signed NYSUNY 2020 legislation in 2011. This law yielded an NYSUNY Challenge Grant, which has primarily funded UB’s venture. When the school opens, approximately 2,000 students, administrators and professors will have their work moved downtown. The state has contributed $35 million to UB’s Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. The Buffalo News reported that the Oishei Foundation’s gift helped UB reach roughly the midway point in its private fundraising efforts. “Throughout its history, the [Oishei] foundation has consistently invested in improving education and health care, and this gift does both,” said UB President Satish Tripathi in a press release. “This gift will have a profound impact on this priority project for our university.” In September 2012, the Oishei Foundation donated $10 million to Kaleida Health for naming rights to the new Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo. This hospital, which will open on UB’s medical campus, is being renamed the John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital. email: news@ubspectrum.com

Jaime Lachapelle returned to Buffalo on Sunday and found her and her roommate’s belongings tossed all over the place. On Jan. 9, during UB’s extended winter break, a polar vortex spread across the nation. Freezing temperatures in Buffalo caused water pipes to freeze and burst in Richmond Building 4 and Spaulding Building 4 – two dormitories in Ellicott Complex. Water leaked down into a handful of dorm rooms, including Lachapelle’s. UB responded immediately, according to Director of Residential Facilities Don Erb. Residential Building Services spent days removing water and cleaning every item in students’ rooms. Lachapelle’s and her roommates’ belongings were not damaged. The belongings were, however, tossed around their dorm and dispersed into their neighbors’ rooms.

During UB’s winter break, frigid temperatures caused water pipes to freeze and burst in two dormitories. Some students returned to find their belongings tossed around their dorm rooms and dispersed into their neighbors’ rooms from UB’s cleanup.

“My parents were also really disappointed when they came in here because, yeah I had a flood, and yes they cleaned it, but they could’ve put the furniture back,” Lachapelle said. “[UB doesn’t] give us much time to adjust to come to school; they give us the next day. I don’t want to come back and clean my room for three and a half hours and then go to school the next morning.” The Spectrum asked Erb to respond to students’ complaints about the disorganization and misplacement of their possessions.

UB to host fifth-annual Winterfest Event highlighted by indoor and outdoor ice rinks AMANDA LOW NEWS EDITOR

When Carolyn Cormier was younger, she would spend some winters skating on a makeshift ice rink in a nearby field. Now, the senior psychology major has the opportunity to enjoy a similar experience on campus. On Saturday, students will have a chance to make the most out of the freezing weather with plenty of winter activities at UB’s fifth official Winterfest. Events will start at noon on the Student Union Field and feature outdoor and indoor ice rinks. “I always encourage students [to attend] – even if they’re not huge fans of the cold,” said Kerry Spicer, associate director of student unions and activities. “There’s a ton to do indoors and outdoors. And even if they’re not familiar with the sports, just to come try them out. It’s what Winterfest is all about.” Though this will be UB’s fifth celebration of Winterfest, the event is based on the same kind of activities students have been enjoying unofficially since the

1950s. Spicer said UB would often find students skating on Lake LaSalle or spot spontaneous snow sculptures around campus. UB moved the location of Winterfest this year from the South Lake community space to SU Field to accommodate the new outdoor ice rink. The main traffic path makes the event more accessible students, whether they’re on or off campus. Matthew Sweet, president of the Resident Hall Association (RHA), anticipates increased attendance due to the larger venue. RHA is involved in the snowman building and igloo making competitions. RHA awards prizes to the winners of the various competitions. Sweet believes the addition of an indoor ice-skating rink will free students from anxiety about weather affecting Winterfest. The indoor rink is made from a synthetic material that is neither cold nor wet, according to Spicer. It will be set up in the Student Union next to video game stations, along with chiliin-a-bag and a movie that has yet

The UB community will have the opportunity to participate in UB’s fifth-annual Winterfest on Saturday. Among many events, students may participate in a horse and carriage ride, skating on indoor and outdoor rinks and a broomball tournament. Last year, students played hockey (above).

to be selected. Free ice skate rentals will be offered with student ID at the indoor and outdoor rinks, with 22 pairs available. During Winterfest Saturday, the outdoor rink will be turned into a playing field for a tournament of broomball – a game similar to hockey, originally from Canada, that Spicer said has developed a “following” at UB. It involves players hitting a ball on the ice (with sneakers, no ice skates needed) with a broom-like stick to the opposing team’s goal.

Broomball teams have the opportunity to win a trophy and Tim Hortons gift cards. While the outdoor rink is in use for the games, ice bowling will be available alongside broomball and students who are looking to ice skate will be moved to the indoor rink. The new location allowed Winterfest to add sledding down the hill next to the Center For the Arts to the long list of activities. Additionally, horse-drawn carriage rides will travel around the

field. Spicer said to also watch out for the yeti that will appear throughout the activities to get students excited for the winter fun. “We figured Victor E. Bull wasn’t enough,” Sweet said. “Why not throw a little bit of that winter weather cheer with the yeti?” Throughout the week, the Office of Student Life has been handing out gloves and scarves for free to promote the event, according to Spicer. Cormier plans to volunteer for Winterfest again, as she did last year. She views the event as an opportunity to bond with her friends and encourages other students to do the same. “Buffalo is known for its cold weather and everyone gets a little miserable when it’s this cold,” Cormier said. “I think it’s really great UB provides an opportunity to have fun outside and see that there is more to winter than staying inside.” email: news@ubspectrum.com

Continued from page 1: Flood “There’s not a lot of order to a rapid removal of personal belongings in a flood,” said in SUNYErb BUFFALO an email. Lachapelle, a freshman unde10.6250 x 9.5600 cided major, and her roommate Maor Purnsrian, a freshman inbaf/baf/baf/gl/baf tended nursing major, are paying for that as they continue to reorganize their belongings. Though the students don’t have any serious damages, they find it unsettling that if they did, UB wouldn’t compensate financially because they never bought renter’s insurance. On its website, Campus Living encourages students to invest in renter’s insurance to protect their belongings in their dorms. None of the students The Spec-

trum interviewed in Richmond or Spaulding have bought it. “There arePER so many fees that SPECTRUM come with dorming, I thought that would be maybe part of it,” Lachapelle said. Purnsrian said, hypothetically, if her belongings were damaged, she couldn’t afford to replace them. She thinks UB should reimburse students if their personal items are damaged in dorms, especially when students are gone – like they were during winter break. “I’m here on financial aid, most people are, or most of my friends are, so do you want me to pay another thousand dollars for all the things you messed up on because I didn’t get renter’s in-

surance?” Purnsrian said. No students in Richmond 4, where floors CH057339B 9 through 4 were affected, or Spaulding, where floors 5 and 4 were affected, have yet indicated that any of their belongings were permanently damaged, according to Erb. But a group of male students in Richmond 4, room 865, had to be relocated because of damage to the ceiling. Erb said the ceiling will be replaced by this summer. The students were relocated to Greiner Hall. Repairs were completed by Jan. 24, Erb said.

ART BY AMBER SLITER, THE SPECTRUM

A reserved tone and avoidance of hard issues overshadowed the evening. In his fifth State of the Union, President Obama presented a series of uninspired proposals to a divided Congress, beginning with a list of the nation’s meager improvements and concluding with a heartfelt anecdote. The president implored Congress to make this “a year of action” the same way a parent pleads with a child to just behave five more minutes in a grocery store. This tone was warranted, as members of Congress have so far demonstrated that they cannot fulfill their most basic responsibilities. Between the ornery Tea Party whining for corporate tax cuts, Democrats sitting with arms folded while blaming others for the nation’s problems and everyone clamoring to posture ahead of what will be a contentious mid-term election, the president’s weariness is understandable. We should not pretend, however, that Obama has been the epitome of maturity, either this year or in this speech. The fact that only two of the 41 proposals he laid out in last year’s speech were

actually implemented (according to an NPR report) speaks to failings by both the president and the least productive Congressional session in this nation’s history. Worth considering are what those two approved proposals were: reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act and passing a budget. The former reminds us that even the members of this government have, by and large, something resembling a human conscience. The latter, that they have eyes to read poll numbers. Beyond the dismal record of the past year, the proposals in this State of the Union were far less ambitious than 2013, though it is easier to be optimistic following a hard-fought-for second election win than when approval ratings are near the lowest they have been in five years. Somewhere between pandering to businesses and stumbling through a wonky description of the new public IRA initiative, the president seemed to forget to mention gun violence, gay rights and Edward Snowden. Paying no more than a fleeting reference to any of them, Obama punctuated the evening with threats of executive action to act when Congress

refuses to. Never mind that this results in either miniscule change or outright unconstitutionality. But take heed, our fellow Americans: this government might do something, yet. When the speech did transcend its modest proposals, there were flashes of passion reminiscent of the president elected for promises of hope and change. For the fifth year came calls for immigration reform, a moving proclamation for women’s equality in the workplace and an inspired call to address climate change. “When our children’s children look us in the eye and ask us if we did all we could … I want us to say, ‘yes we did,’” Obama said. Our fear is simply this: that this government is not doing all it can. And if these issues are not being addressed by the president during the annual speech that is meant to set the agenda and tone in Washington for the year ahead, how can we expect them to be solved during the day-to-day minutia on Capitol Hill? What did this speech do to make us hopeful, to insight action and dedication to change? It is worth noting that Obama did not end with the usual cli-

ché, “the state of our union is strong.” This is not to say our union is weak – it is certainly better than it was five years ago – but we are rapidly approaching a turning point. We are pulling out of the worst of the recession, we are ending our longest war and equality has made gains unseen in decades. We are approaching the end of a recovery, so the time for real progress, true ambition and dedicated leadership is now. “Nothing in life that’s worth anything is easy,” Obama said, quoting Sgt. First Class Cory Remsburg, who narrowly survived a roadside bomb on his 10th tour in Afghanistan. Given the year of inaction and tepid speech from our commander-in-chief preceding such a powerful truism, you would think the president did not find our freedom, and our democracy, worth anything. The time to have a government worthy of serving soldiers like Remsburg, and the multitude of everyday heroes across this nation, is now. email: editorial@ubspectrum.com

Another falls away Resignation of SA vice president stirs reflection With another Student Association executive announcing his resignation in just five months, apathetic feelings seem to be the default. This situation, however, commands a moment of reflection. Lyle Selsky is the second SA executive who was elected during the Spirit Party sweep last year to resign, rousing perhaps warranted suspicions over the party and SA in general. The circumstances surrounding this announcement, however, and the impact it will have, are worth approaching with an open mind. Selsky leaves his office with high expectations for the next vice president, as opposed to the low bar left by the dishonorably deposed former president. The now former vice president cited family issues for his resignation, and we feel confident that there were not any other extenuating circumstances.

Weariness and distrust, though, are expected after such a tumultuous and unstable year, culminating in yet another changing hands of power. The common refrains calling for greater oversight of the association and greater prudence in our voting practices are worth revisiting. Reforms are needed, but Selsky left a legacy of earnest dedication to his post. His resignation should be seen for what it is – the loss of an asset, a positive influence on a party wrought with dysfunction, but indicative of fundamental issues in the institution and the way it has been approached. The very notion behind SA is ambitious – giving a handful of students, elected by fellow students, control over $4.1 million without oversight will inevitably lead to some problems. This experiment into the furtherance of the democratic process is more

than just student control over student funds, though. This resignation reminds us of the responsibility we share. Voting must be taken seriously, and candidates’ credentials and intentions honestly interrogated. Those elected need to be held accountable. Additionally, candidates should assess whether they truly feel capable, and whether they are able to give the position the dedication it calls for. The nature of yearly elections makes SA unstable enough already, without the threat that these precautions are not being taken. This is more important than $4 million, a few seasonal concerts or the numerous events SA puts on for the student body. SA creates the conditions of possibility for us as a student body to engage in a political process not entirely dissimilar to its larger manifestations at city hall, Albany or Capitol Hill. Lest we fail to

take seriously our duty as citizens to those institutions, let us honestly approach this microcosm of empowerment. Reforms are necessary and should be explored. SA again enters uncertain territory, with a permanent vice president yet to be announced and more ambitious proposals likely stifled for another semester. This is the reality surrounding our elected office, but appreciation for the hard work and sincerity with which Selsky approached his office, and with which he leaves, is needed as well. We wish Lyle all the best as he addresses personal issues today and professional aspirations in the future. email: editorial@ubspectrum.com

Comedic relief

Members of UB Improv use their weekly workshops as an escape from ‘real’ life KEREN BARUCH

SENIOR FEATURES EDITOR

Corey Reisman, a junior political science major, dreams of becoming the president of the United States one day, though he would settle for a senatorial seat. Alex Race, a senior philosophy major, just received a full-tuition scholarship to the University of Minnesota Law School. Ben Balderman, a sophomore biological sciences major, studies intensely and hopes to eventually work as a pediatric oncologist. Reisman, Race and Balderman are three of 26 students who have found a way to escape the pressure of pursuing a rigorous career. Each Monday night at 7 p.m. in the Student Union Theater, members of UB Improv transform into completely different characters. The club focuses on practicing comedy and improvisational acting and serves as a family and getaway for many of its members, Race said. Reisman is treasurer of UB’s improv club, and he hopes to see the club and its audience grow throughout this semester. The club offers four free two-hour shows each semester to UB students. Reisman described the shows as “unique” and said it’s hard to find the same type of comedy and interaction by simply watching an improv show on television. This year, the club is hosting a Murder Mystery Dinner, which will be on Feb. 8 at 6:30 p.m. in Harriman Hall. Members said it will be the “coolest” and “funni-

est” UB Improv event to date. Though the club practices for its shows to entertain the UB community, members are in it for their own pleasure just as much as for their audience’s. “When I’m acting, I feel a lot of things,” Reisman said. “I think the biggest thing that I feel, though, is a sense of freedom – the kind of freedom that allows you to be anything you want.” Balderman has always loved watching improv shows, like Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Improvaganza, so he decided to try UB Improv. But Balderman never expected the club to play such

a pivotal role in his desire to become a pediatric oncologist. “Improv has taught me how to react in strange situations, how to think like somebody you’re not and to go forward. If I can think like a child, I may be able to encourage their emotional wellbeing during treatment,” Balderman said. Each week, the group undergoes a different type of improvisation workshop. With each workshop new memories and laughs are created, according to Balderman.

UB’s improv club always begins its sessions with a warm-up game in order to ensure participants are in the “right state of mind,” Reisman said. The group then practices certain skills, such as active listening – by playing games like “yes and,” “red ball” and “seven things.” Activities including “story, story, die,” “chain murder” and “press conference” are also improvisational games, which help club members practice and improve their skills. After each workshop, members participate in a game to warm down and wrap up the session.

Members of the club utilize their time on stage as a stress reliever. Acting helps them “ignore academics, work and all other stresses for the few moments spent in character,” according to Balderman. The group serves as the only theater and comedy club for students on UB’s campus. Reisman encourages students who feel a need to perform to attend a workshop and see what the club is all about. Chris Tanski, a senior pharmacy major, believes the spontaneity and unpredictability of each workshop and improv show keeps the club lively and entertaining. He considers UB Improv to be a “small, talented and funny family with a ton of inside jokes.” Reisman knows that improv will always remain a part of his life. “The important skills that you learn in improv, like being spontaneous and witty on the spot, can easily be applied to the job [of the President of the United States],” Reisman said. “Especially in regard to press conferences and interacting with people. You know, Ronald Reagan was a former actor and he’s still remembered today for his infinite wit as president.” Members of the club said they know improv will always influence their lives and look forward to sharing their passion and comedy with the rest of the UB community. email: features@ubspectrum.com

The rush for sisterhood

Panhellenic Council to recruit new members next week ANDREA SAADAN

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Chelsea Sullivan, a junior English major, did not enjoy being around girls in high school. She had always preferred the company of a small, male group of friends. Now, Sullivan has a sisterhood. She is an active member of Delta Phi Epsilon (DPE) and is currently the vice president of special events for the InterGreek Council (IGC). She has been steadily involved for the past two years. DPE is one of the six sororities that form the Panhellenic Council under IGC. These sororities include Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Phi, Alpha Sigma Tau, Phi Sigma Sigma and Sigma Delta Tau. The sorority recruitment is held from Feb. 6-10 and ends with a bid day celebration. The sororities will meet with Po-

tential New Members (PNMs) through a specific and involved process, according to Pamela Stephens-Jackson, assistant director for fraternity and sorority life. Stephens-Jackson said there will be about 400 women at the recruitment and said the group will “take over Ellicott for a weekend.” On the first night, PNMs will be split up into small groups and enter classrooms where sorority members will try to “impress” the recruits and encourage them to join their sorority, Sullivan said. In each room, PNMs will sit with sisters and engage in icebreaker activities. “We could all be sitting in a circle and having a great time but when the time is up and you have to leave, you know a sorority is good when you don’t want to leave the room,” Sullivan said. “For me, that was the best part

– having that instant connection with one girl and meeting another girl from the same sorority and having that, too.” Sullivan’s advice for freshmen attending next week’s formal recruitment is to “keep an open mind.” She believes PNMs should formulate their own opinion on the sororities and would do themselves a disservice by listening to gossip or being influenced by people’s negative comments on certain sororities. Elana Cwass, a freshman undecided major, who is going to participate in the rush week, believes she is ready to join a sorority now that she has finished her first semester. She said she spent her first semester teaching herself how to study and cope with classes, which UB requires all freshmen to do. Freshmen are not eligible for Greek Life membership until their second semester at UB. “It’s great to have sisterhood

and a close group of friends,” Cwass said. “The philanthropy aspect of [Greek Life] is really good, as it helps you get in touch with the community. I have a lot of older friends who are already in sororities and they absolutely love it. So I want to do that, too.” Greeks are sometimes stereotyped to be people who “just drink and party” and StephensJackson constantly reminds IGC and its sub-councils to not reinforce these perceptions. Students who are interested in pledging one of the six sororities must register for the rush week at greeklife.buffalo.edu. The university specifies that students need to have earned at least 12 college credits and have a 2.0 GPA to join a Greek society; some of the societies, like DPE, have slightly higher GPA requirements.

Obama calls for more action in State of the Union address SAM FERNANDO

SENIOR NEWS EDITOR

On Tuesday night, President Barack Obama delivered his fifth State of the Union address. In a speech that lasted roughly 65 minutes, Obama spoke on a myriad of topics, including wealth inequality, energy independence, job growth and education. At the forefront of his speech, however, was a call for his administration and Congress to, quite simply, do more. “Let’s make this a year of action,” Obama said. “That’s what most Americans want. For all of us in this chamber to focus on their lives, their hopes, their aspirations.” Though he spoke about collaboration and teamwork, Obama said he would bypass the divided Congress in certain situations. “I’m eager to work with all of you,” Obama said. “But America does not stand still – and neither will I. So wherever and whenever I can take steps without legislation to expand opportunity for more American families, that’s what I’m going to do.” A Jan. 14 Gallup poll measured Congress’ approval rating at 13 percent. A Jan. 26 Gallup poll determined Obama’s approval rating is 42 percent, significantly lower than during last year’s speech, at which point it was 51 percent. Restoring and expanding the middle class was a focal point in the speech. Obama proposed measures to revitalize the broken education system, create a fairer workplace and embrace the Affordable Care Act. Obama promised an executive order to increase the minimum wage for new federally contracted workers to $10.10. Though he doesn’t have the power to unilaterally increase the minimum wage for every American,

On Tuesday, President Barack Obama delivered his fifth State of the Union address and called for more action from government officials. “Let’s make this a year of action,” Obama said. “That’s what most Americans want. For all of us in this chamber to focus on their lives, their hopes, their aspirations.”

he again urged Congress to do so. He said five states have already reformed their minimum wage laws, praising businesses like Cisco that have already increased workers’ wages without a federal, state or local mandate. But there is still more progress to be made, he said. Obama noted women make up about half the workforce, but make 77 cents to the dollar a man earns. This is an embarrassment for 2014, he said. “It’s time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a Mad Men episode,” Obama said. “Because I firmly believe when women succeed, America succeeds.” Better preparing students as they enter the workforce is essential in rebuilding the middle class, he said. “Opportunity is who we are,” Obama said. “And the defining project of our generation is to restore that promise.” Reforming education at every level, but mainly college, is fundamental to restoring opportu-

nity, he said. Obama urged Congress to help states provide easier access to high quality Pre-K for every 4-year-old. He reaffirmed his promise to connect 99 percent of students nationally to high-speed Internet over the next four years. On Aug. 22, Obama visited UB and spoke about his plans to change the higher education system. He reiterated that sentiment Tuesday. “We’re shaking up our system of higher education to give parents more information, and colleges more incentives to offer better value, so that no middleclass kid is priced out of a college education,” he said. “We’re offering millions the opportunity to cap their monthly student loan payments to 10 percent of their income … The bottom line is, Michelle and I want every child to have the same chance this country gave us.” Obama reaffirmed the Affordable Care Act as a necessary step in fighting for the financial security of the poor and middle class. He said 3 million peo-

ple under the age of 26 can be covered because of the law and more than 9 million have signed up for private health insurance or Medicaid coverage following its passage. “Both Democrats and Republicans have argued that our tax code is riddled with wasteful, complicated loopholes that punish businesses investing here and reward companies that keep profits abroad,” Obama said. “Let’s flip that equation.” Expanding the middle class and decreasing wealth inequality is an important step toward economic growth and stability, Obama said. But another key to creating that growth is to fix the “broken” immigration system. “Independent economists say immigration reform will grow our economy and shrink our deficits by almost $1 trillion in the next two decades,” Obama said. “And for good reason: when people come here to fulfill their dreams – to study, invent and contribute to our culture – they make our country a more attractive place for busi-

nesses to locate and create jobs for everyone.” Obama reiterated points he had made in past State of the Union addresses. He firmly stated the seriousness of climate change and the importance of alternative energy and becoming energy independent for the sake of future generations. He restated his plans to shut down Guantanamo Bay and the importance of negotiating with Syria and Iran to broker peace in the region. Obama concluded by speaking about Sergeant First Class Cory Remsburg, who was seated next to the First Lady Michelle Obama. Remsburg was nearly killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan during his 10th deployment. He was found face down in a canal with shrapnel in his brain, which left him in a coma for months. He is blind in one eye and struggles to use the left side of his body. It was not an easy recovery, but Remsburg has slowly progressed and is getting stronger. He told the president, “Nothing in life that’s worth anything is easy.” Obama echoed Remsburg’s thoughts as a prescription for the country. “Men and women like Cory remind us that America has never come easy. Our freedom, our democracy, has never been easy,” Obama said. “Sometimes we stumble; we make mistakes; we get frustrated or discouraged. “But for more than 200 years, we have put those things aside and placed our collective shoulder to the wheel of progress … if we work together, if we summon what is best in us, with our feet planted firmly in today but our eyes cast towards tomorrow – I know it’s within our reach.” email: news@ubspectrum.com

UB community reacts to State of the Union address “I was very annoyed by it and disappointed because I feel like he just made a lot of agreeable statements that didn’t really give you any information about what’s really happening in America right now… Raising the minimum wage is a crazy idea because it only hurts the economy and hurts jobs and small businesses … I would like for him to stop making all of these statements about how he’s going to do things with or without Congress … That to me is not very presidential at all. It doesn’t show the qualities of a leader.” - Alana Barricks, senior political science student and president of the College Republicans

“Higher income inequality removes the ladder that makes it possible for people to get out of poverty and ‘get ahead,’ gives the rich a disproportionate say in politics and possibly puts the entire economy at risk, as it is an alleged culprit in the 2007 financial crisis. The president’s ideas for addressing income inequality – for example, requiring a higher minimum wage for employees of federal contractors – will help the problem slightly, and one could laud him for his ‘with or without you’ attitude toward Congress. But without support from the legislative branch of government, his options are very limited.” - Matthew Dimick, associate professor of law with expertise in income inequality

“I really liked how he said he would do executive action. He shows me he would go over the head of Congress who has been historically unproductive. I like the Pre-K push. Studies show that people exposed to that environment have higher intelligence, earn more and have a better life.” - Michael Calliste, junior political science major and member of College Democrats

“I’m not disappointed … He’s trying to get the word out [about the Family Medical Leave Act]. He’s bringing men in this. Everyone is entitled to family leave. According to The New York Times, the United States is the only industrial nation not offering paid medical leave. Seeing the list of underdeveloped countries – the list is an embarrassment. Everything deserves its time, and family leave deserves its fair share.” - Claire Modica, grad student Ph.D. neuroscience candidate and president of Society of Feminists

“He did a good job in boosting solar technology. Reducing oil, we’ve done a bit, but not to the extent that I would like. He did not touch on developing countries like India and China, who are going down the same path as us … It’s our job to steer developing countries down the right path.” - Zachary Schaab, senior environmental studies major and president of Environmental Network club

“I think that he claimed credit for some successes in America that had nothing to do with his policies or were achieved despite his policies … I think his 42 percent approval numbers are also evidence that his policies have fallen flat … He is a lame duck president with weak ratings and problematic policies that may well cost his party control of the Senate after this year’s midterm elections.”

Continued from page 1: N’Dea The family scheduled an appendectomy for the next day, a Friday, and doctors told her she would be out of the hospital by Sunday. On Saturday, she had a fever of 104.3 degrees. The fever didn’t break for three weeks. Doctors weren’t sure what was wrong with Johnson. Abscesses had formed around where her appendix had been, but doctors’ first three attempts to drain them were unsuccessful. Some doctors thought she had Crohn’s disease. Tests for the disease returned negative. “I was mad I didn’t have Crohn’s disease,” Johnson said. “Not mad that I didn’t have the disease, but I was just mad that nobody could figure out what was going on with me.” From June to November, a cycle formed. Johnson had catheter-like drains placed in her abdomen to remove the infected fluid from the abscesses. She would return home and feel better for a week, sometimes two, sometimes three. Then she’d get sick again and return to the hospital. The cycle repeated itself four times. She entered the hospital June 6 expecting to be out June 8. She left for the last time Nov. 18. *** he hardest part for Johnson was not getting better. The most encouraging part was her family’s support. Johnson hated that her family had to see her in a crippled state. She didn’t want people to worry about her. Jurisevic said that when she felt scared, she drew strength from Johnson’s determination to get better. “My parents were the greatest over the summer,” Johnson said. “They did everything they could to make sure my head was OK and assured me everything was going to be OK and I was going to get back to soccer eventually.” It wasn’t just her parents. Her 23-year-old brother, Isaiah, who works as an EMT and volunteer firefighter, visited often and sometimes spent the night with her. Before Johnson got sick, the two fought the way siblings fight. Now they don’t. Johnson thinks something in that hospital room changed their relationship – they matured together. She also had other relatives visit her. All the support made her feel loved and determined to heal. Wayne, who played football in college and had been a coach to Johnson since she was little, didn’t want his daughter to forget who she really was. That was the motivation behind putting the pictures on the wall. The girl in the hospital bed was so much different from the daughter he had raised, the terror on the soccer field with the insatiable appetite for success. He didn’t want her to forget what she was once capable of – what she would one day be capable of again. Johnson had several options for playing college soccer. She had to choose between UB, Rhode Island, La Salle and Long Island. The last college visit she made was to Buffalo. It wasn’t just the campus and the academic programs the school offered that swayed her. It was the way Thomas spoke to her. She said he spoke to her like a human being and didn’t make any promises he couldn’t keep. Most importantly, she believed in him and trusted that the program believed in her. “I have the best teammates in the entire world,” Johnson said. “I think if I went to any other school, I wouldn’t be in the place I am now. I am still here because of my coaches and my teammates, especially coach Thomas.” *** he day before Jurisevic found out her best friend would not be returning to Buffalo for the fall semester, she had spoken with Johnson on the phone. Things

were getting better. Johnson was pretty sure she would be rejoining the team soon. The next day at practice, Thomas told his team she wouldn’t be returning. “I just bawled,” Jurisevic said. “I called her later and I remember we just sat on the phone in silence because she didn’t know what was going on.” Johnson felt like she was missing out on everything. Soccer, friends and school were all being taken away from her and she didn’t know what to do. Her teammates did. Jurisevic and Gross began taping their wrists and writing Johnson’s initials with a heart on the tape. On Aug. 31, Johnson was watching the Bulls play a game against Youngstown State online. When defender Megan Abman scored a goal, Johnson watched on as her teammates celebrated. The camera then caught a glimpse of the tape on Abman’s wrist on which Johnson’s initials were inscribed. When Johnson saw that, it made her feel like she was included. As much as Johnson was missing Buffalo and her teammates, they were missing her. They missed her presence on the field – Burke said her goal-scoring ability would have been a huge help for a team that struggled to score in 2013 – but also in the locker room. “We had a lot of struggles this year,” Burke said. “N’Dea is a kid we can count on to keep the spirits up, keep everybody going and keep a positive attitude. And that is clearly missed when you are going through a hard time.” Just talking with Johnson helped Jurisevic. She said having Johnson’s initials on her wrist was as much motivation as any buzzword she could have written there. “You could say ‘90 minutes;’ you could say ‘perseverance,’” Jurisevic said. “But her story was more ammunition than anything or any word I could put.” Despite missing her physical presence, Jurisevic never felt like she was without Johnson because of their constant communication. The team sent Johnson a care package with individual gifts from each player, including freshmen who had never met her. When the team Skyped with Johnson, the freshmen asked to meet her because she was included in so many of the team’s stories. Johnson came to visit for a practice during the season. It was an experience she said helped her, and one Jurisevic said motivated her teammates. *** ohnson started playing soccer at age 5. It was her first sport, and she was hooked. Pamela recalls seeing a different kind of aggressiveness in her daughter from the other kids, something Wayne attributed to her spending her childhood around older broth-

er Isaiah and their cousins. Johnson hasn’t stopped playing soccer since she started. She dabbled in other sports – playing basketball, lacrosse, volleyball and track & field in middle school and early in high school – but after her ninthgrade year, she decided to devote her time to soccer. While she was in the hospital last summer, she contemplated the likely end of her career in a few years when she graduates. Once Johnson got out of the hospital, she started taking better care of herself and vowed to take advantage of the opportunities she had left on the pitch. “I kind of looked at it like a second chance,” Johnson said. “I thought it was a second chance for me to really, really think about what I wanted to do with my life and take the soccer thing seriously. Not that I didn’t take it seriously before, but take it more seriously because it’s going to be over soon and while I’m at school I want to win a [Mid-American Conference] Championship, I want to score lots of goals and I want to be remembered as somebody who was great.” As a teen, Johnson jumped around club teams until she landed with the East Meadow Express. The Express was the highest-level team she had played on up to that point, and due to the high level, the cost was a burden on her family. Before her junior year of high school, her parents asked her if she wanted to play soccer in college. “That’s when everything changed because it was serious,” Johnson said. “And I had to play soccer in college because I couldn’t see myself doing anything else.” ***

“I have the best teammates in the entire world. I think if I went to any other school, I wouldn’t be in the place I am now. ”

ohnson said she’s ready now for the season. She got out of the hospital in November but doctors are still not sure exactly why her body reacted the way it did. Little things have started going her way – she worked a job for the two months before she returned to school and got her driver’s license. When she talks about soccer and her teammates, a smile creeps along her face and there’s a steady confidence in her voice. Being back in Buffalo has put her at ease. Jurisevic said she has no doubt Johnson’s skills will return to what they were before her illness, because “she knows how to recover.” And Johnson doesn’t doubt it either. She knows her body is going to push back at first, but she is excited to work out with her teammates again. “After the whole hospital fiasco, I think I appreciate my life and things a little bit more,” Johnson said. “I am making better decisions with my health because I know that I am not invincible.” She also knows her time is limited and this is her moment. Johnson is ready to launch. email: sports@ubspectrum.com
