ART BY JEANETTE CHWAN

This week, the effort to revitalize downtown Buffalo gained momentum as the insertion of a new 21-acre park has been added to the agenda of development projects near the Outer Harbor. The park will have trails, bridges and gazebos. It will provide views of the Buffalo skyline and a portion to be allocated for private development. It is one of the many projects now underway to attract more people to Buffalo’s waterfront. It is common knowledge that Buffalo’s economic difficulties have resulted in lackluster infrastructure that has been causing people to turn away from the historic downtown area for decades now. As young people who will soon be considering whether we want to remain Buffalonians following graduation, we believe there need to be substantial efforts drawing people to a city that looks depleted and depressed.

The main point is that we want to see action, but we also want there to be smart pragmatism. Those who do have the courage to take on the challenges that many have previously failed at need to learn from the mistakes of the past. One of the main problems whenever someone in Buffalo decides they want to do something about downtown is they don’t fix what’s wrong with it; they just build new things instead. The implementation of the subway system to run through Main Street, closing vehicular traffic on that street, has been a proven failure and has damaged many businesses that were located there. It wasn’t exactly business savvy to have a retail store or restaurant people can’t get to easily except through one form of transportation that people don’t like very much anyway. The city, clearly recognizing this effort as being harmful rather than beneficial, promised to restore vehicular traffic. We are still waiting for that.

Alongside the addition of a new park, commercial construction has begun taking place near the harbor and an important thing to keep in mind is that the financing for it is coming out of private business. Lucky for everyone, Terry Pegula, owner of the Sabres, beat out Carl Paladino for the development opportunity and is in the midst of building an indoor parking garage, two ice skating rinks, a hotel and a restaurant near the arena. This is a great start and we’re very pleased with Pegula’s level of dedication to the city. Though what we also want to stress is this has to be treated as catalyst for further development. It is an opportunity for someone else to pounce on and propel more commercial construction to improve the environment of the city. The Buffalo harbor is beautiful and has lots of potential. While what Pegula is adding will attract more people there, especially young hockey players with the new ice rinks, the focus should be on how

to make sure these types of developments continue. Pegula’s contributions should be used as ignition for more. Retail stores and restaurants and a shopping district near the harbor would be useful for everyone and would make downtown more attractive for young people and those thinking about starting a family. This should be seen as a realistic hope and expected enterprise. We want the aspirations to be high, but we also want them to be realistic and effective, so that developers can work step by step to make sure that the efforts downtown are commonsense and concrete. There needs to be practicality to the approach, as long as the approach consists of action; you can’t get much done without it. Email: editorial@ubspectrum.com

Greetings From New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers men’s basketball coach reflects problems in coaching There is no question that Mike Rice’s behavior was inexcusable. He berated players in a manner that the NCAA and a university and athletic director should not tolerate. He exercised poor judgment and demonstrated a line of values in his actions that those in leadership positions, of any capacity, should repudiate. Though the truth of the matter is: It’s not surprising at all. The people who are most outraged are those who have not been involved in athletics. Those privy to the world of sports are aware that Rice’s conduct is generally commonplace throughout collegiate and professional sports and is prevalent even at the high school level and below as well. While we think Rice’s behavior is more widespread than the mainstream media has been portraying it, we are not suggesting he should not be abdicated of responsibility for his actions. What he did was wrong and he should be made an example of for the rest of the athletic community. It is in no way acceptable to utter homophobic slurs, shove players forcefully from their blindside or peg them with a basketball. Simply stated, Rice’s termination as head coach was appropriate and justified.

What needs to be brought to the public’s attention, however, is the current climate of sports. There is a chain of ethos that demands players be trained for toughness and groomed as machismo. When a coach demeans a player or criticizes him harshly, the coach is engaging in a process that is designed to weed out those who can’t handle the intensity of the sport and level of competition. Consider it this way – when one becomes a Marine, he or she has to endure the grueling training at Parris Island, S.C. Would it be wise for anyone to suggest that a serviceman be deployed to Afghanistan without having experienced the rigorous training part of the mental and psychological preparation for combat? Much like military installation training, the purpose of athletic practice is to serve as a prelude to action. So, it should be understandable why a coach would want to exert techniques and strategies that facilitate his or her players’ general preparation and also build camaraderie that helps develop a more cohesive unit – as Ursula K. LeGuin observed, “brotherhood begins with shared pain.”

There is a common concept shared by many coaches, much to the chagrin of protective parents, that by subjecting athletes to forms of suffering and challenge, they are building character and bringing them together. That may be true, and many of us have participated on sports teams and understand that this can be an important part of the process, but there are also levels of extremity that need to be avoided. The level of aggression that Rice reached was unmistakably inappropriate. It is also important to recognize, however, that it was an extreme case of something that happens a lot. It is fine for a coach to put players through a difficult process and embody an intimidating persona for the sake of molding a team to achieve its concrete goals, though there are several things we posit unacceptable for coaches to do in the future. First, no type of derogatory comments, whether relating to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc., should ever be said by anyone let alone a coach in a role to influence younger people. Our society is becoming increasingly sensitive to these issues and advocates political correctness. This is a sign

of progress and no coach should allow his or her language to reflect an outlook contradictory to this improvement and advancement. Second, there should be a statute of limitations toward how a coach can interact physically with a player. We understand there is a physicality central to athletic competition, but nothing more than mild contact that is designed to help a player improve in some way should be exercised. The more logical question may be: Why would a coach risk the possibility of injuring a player? Though we will leave that to someone like Mike Rice. In the spirit of Bob Dylan’s recent visit to UB, it is important for those in athletics to recognize that “the times they are a-changin’.” Coaches need to be more cognizant of recent changes in culture that are bleeding into sports and have altered people’s perception of the type of behavior deemed acceptable. It affects them, too, off the court and on. Email: editorial@ubspectrum.com

FSEC pushes to hold classes on Jewish holidays JOHN NASSIVERA Staff Writer

Nick Fischetti, The Spectrum Former UB wrestler Justin Lozano (bottom, in purple and yellow) lost his scholarship after a physical altercation with another UB student near South Campus.

Wrestlers’ second-degree felony assault charges lowered Lozano, Reeb face third-degree assault and no probation RACHEL RAIMONDI Asst. News Editor The second-degree felony assault charges against former UB wrestling teammates Justin Lozano and Clayton Reeb were lowered to assault in the third-degree, a misdemeanor. On Tuesday morning, the codefendants appeared in front of Judge Craig Hannah in Buffalo City Court. “Serious” was also taken off the records categorizing injuries the two allegedly inflicted on Joshua Rubin, a communication major. Rubin continues to seek medical

attention at Erie County Medical Center, according to Assistant District Attorney Danielle Smith. The attack, which occurred on Feb. 16, at approximately 2:30 a.m., left Rubin unconscious and bleeding from the head on Main Street. Lozano and Reeb followed Rubin and his three friends down Main Street after encountering them at The Steer. Lozano allegedly attacked Rubin, picked him up and slammed him into the concrete head first. Meanwhile, Reeb fought Rubin’s friend, according to witnesses.

After the attack, the wrestlers continued to contact the victims via Facebook, causing them to file orders of protection. However, the documents will expire on May 18 2013, according to Smith. Lozano and Reeb, who pled not guilty, requested their probation be rescinded. Reeb was quickly granted the request because he has “strong” ties to the area, according to his lawyer, Melissa Reese. He lives with his mother and father, a Cheektowaga police officer. He currently attends UB but will be suspended for one year after this semester ends. SEE ASSAULT, PAGE 15

The Faculty Senate Executive Committee (FSEC) proposed holding classes on the Jewish holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and maintaining no classes on Labor Day. The Faculty Senate was unable to vote on the decision during its meeting on March 5 because there were not enough voting members present. On April 3, the FSEC voted against a proposal to have classes on Labor Day, with a 7-12 vote, and in favor of a proposal to have classes on the Jewish Holidays, with a 13-6 vote. President Satish Tripathi received the Faculty Senate recommendation, and he and Provost Charles Zukoski will seek public feedback for consideration, according to UB Spokesman John Della Contrada. Members of the campus community will be given opportunity to voice opinions during the public comment period, which is expected to begin soon, he said. Ann Marie Landel, chair of the Professional Staff Senate, said the Senate asked other SUNY schools how they choose to handle the three holidays. Out of the 23 SUNY institutions that responded, 15 universities observe Labor Day while eight do not, and four universities observe the Jewish holidays while 19 do not. Many of the Jewish students who chose to go to UB felt they would be able to celebrate the high holidays without a conflict in their education, according to Director of Hillel of Buffalo Laura Hemlock. “They chose to go here because they know that in the SUNY system, there are not as many schools that offer the high holidays off,” Hemlock said. “So they saw this as a place they could go where they know their traditions would be respected.” One week prior to the discussion on April 3, students in Hil-

lel of Buffalo started a petition to the Executive Committee that listed reasons students felt the Jewish holidays should be days off from school. Jewish and non-Jewish students signed the petition. Professors are not allowed to give exams or have projects due on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, according to New York State Law. Teachers are still allowed to hold class and teach new material during lecture on these days. Some students are worried professors will not show leniency for Jewish students who miss class, according to Jonathan Grunin, a senior and Student Association Senate chair and member of the Jewish Student Union. There are about 3,000 Jewish undergraduates at UB, according to Grunin. Students must maintain the traditions for their holidays, such as fasting and not showering, he said. Grunin feels traditions can conflict with academic performance if classes are held. Secretary for the Faculty Senate Edward Herman said UB should not show preference for one religion and New York State law guaranteeing students and staff the right to have time off for their religious observances can be a problem for the discussion. “A university like ours (and all public institutions) ought to be neutral toward all religions,” Herman said in an email. “I state this as a Jew who observes the high holidays charging the time off to annual leave.” Some of UB’s faculty felt Labor Day should be recognized as a day the Labor Union created for families and not recognizing the holiday would send the wrong message, according to Barbara Rittner, an associate professor and associate dean for development in the School of Social Work. “You try and find a babysitter to come to classes on Labor Day,” Rittner emphasized. “It would put the faculty with children and students with children in an impossible situation.” SEE HOLIDAYS, PAGE 15

A solemn walk on campus

Fraternity brothers remember their Jewish ancestors in Holocaust Memorial Walk fects everybody. They all survived, and we’re all here … Thank God [my grandfather] survived because now I’m here to share his story.” Jason Kirschtel, a junior business administration major and the president of AEpi, led the line of his brothers during the 15-minute walk around North Campus. He recalled a few emotional visits to the Holocaust museum on his past trips to Israel. “There was one place they actually brought the pavement from a ghetto from railroad tracks and they showed people actually sitting on these stones starving and dying,” Kirschtel said. “And it was like: ‘Wow. I’m here. This is real.’ It’s something you don’t want to see, but you want to see it because it happened.” There was one experience at the museum that’s most chilling to Kirschtel: mountains of shoes from children who were murdered in concentration camps. “It’s really heart wrenching,” Kirschtel said. “To think that a group of people could do this to not only Jews but to gypsies, gays, all these different people. It’s really unbelievable that humans are capable of doing that to other people.” Kirschtel stopped the line in the middle of the Student Union. In a jubilant and lively area full of busy students, he loudly recited the names of dead children who never had the chance to have a future.

Students and faculty stared at Brian Kupferberg and 30 of his Jewish fraternity brothers who walked around school in a singlefile line in complete silence, dressed in all black, on Monday afternoon. As they walked around a crowded North Campus, a student in Capen Cafe broke the silence as she exclaimed to her friend: “Oh, I think it’s for Holocaust Remembrance.” The brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, a few sisters from Phi Sigma Sigma sorority and campus Rabbi Avrohom Gurary embraced the uncomfortable stares and whispers as they thought of what their parents, grandparents and ancestors affected by the Holocaust went through. The group celebrated Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, by participating in the fraternity’s third-annual Holocaust Memorial Walk. Kupferberg, a senior business administration major and the public relations spokesman of AEpi, said the odd stares signify curiosity, and that’s all the group of Jewish students wanted to ignite in the UB community. He said for a lot of non-Jews on campus, the Holocaust is “out of sight, out of mind.” That’s unacceptable for Kupferberg and his brothers, whose family members endured tragedies that have been ingratiated in their upbringing. “It’s something that is of the utmost importance to us because if you don’t remember history, those are doomed to repeat it,” Kupferberg said. “For us, as long as we make sure it’s in the forefront of people’s minds and make sure people can remember it, that’s one of the better ways for us to prevent something like this from happening.” As they walked outside North Campus, through the Natural Sciences Complex, Capen, Knox and finally the Student Union, Ethan Zisholtz, a sophomore business marketing major and AEpi’s Jewish relations chair, remembered his grandfather who was forced

Alexa Strudler, The Spectrum Jason Kirschtel, president of Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, led a silent, single-file line of fraternity brothers and friends to commemorate their Jewish ancestors affected by the Holocaust. The predominantly Jewish fraternity brothers wearing black shirts with a sign reading, “NEVER FORGET,” share a connection unmatched with many other UB friends, particularly because of their deep family histories that have been ingratiated in their upbringing.

to choose between going with his mother to a gas chamber or going with his father to a work camp. He chose the work camp in order to stay alive but never saw his mother again. Saul Lurie, a freshman mechanical engineering major and an AEpi brother, remembered his Polish grandfather who moved to America to establish a home where his family could escape as the Holocaust began. By the time he returned, the Nazis had brought the genocide to Poland. He was told his family had been taken and killed, and he felt so bad that he killed himself. They weren’t dead. Lurie met them on one of his many trips to Israel a few years ago, and his strong connection to his Jewish family led him to join the predominantly Jewish frat and participate in the walk.

Zisholtz said he shares a deep connection with his brothers unmatched by his other friends on campus. Their Jewish faith and history brings them close together in an unspoken way.

“We all have had someone we know or have heard of [who was affected by the Holocaust],” Zisholtz said. “We don’t generally talk about it, but when we do, at times like this or during a holiday, it definitely af-

Life

If you’re going to take pictures, you need to do it right LYZI WHITE

Life Editor

Veronica Hardy, a freshman geology major, was shocked and dismayed when her floormate, with whom she was having sexual relations, sent the naked pictures she sent him that he said he wouldn’t show a soul to their entire dorm. She didn’t understand why Ron Kestler, a freshman undecided major, would betray her trust and the “wonderful and strong relationship of two weeks.” Kestler didn’t understand why she was upset, as most of the boys came to the general consensus that Hardy was “pretty attractive, definitely a sober five; probably a drunk eight.”

Nick Fischetti, The Spectrum Sophomore Kurtis Sprung, a multifaceted dancer pursuing dance and mathematics, balances on his hand on a rock in the group of trees by Baird Point.

Her neighbors’ approval did not alleviate Hardy’s sadness. “I just can’t fathom why the guy I totally fell for two weeks ago would take my personal pictures that I sent to him in confidence and send them to other people,” Hardy said. “Like, why would a red-blooded male I’m dating, like, show pictures of my naked boobs to his friends?” Kestler was unaware they were dating, referring to Hardy as the hot blonde who kept calling him for booty calls on the weekend. “Chick just sent me pictures of her doing weird stuff! I didn’t even ask her for them,” Kestler commented. “If she’s mad I picture messaged them to people, I don’t want to be around her when she finds out I put it on Reddit’s Gone Wild subreddit.”

The pictures – which featured Hardy holding out a cucumber “like she was preparing to stick it in someone else’s bum,” her performing fellatio on a random dude and her posing like a sloth hanging from a tree in her birthday suit – were supposed to be enticing, according to Kestler. They did not “rev” Kestler’s engine, he said. Connie Young, a junior art major, received the pictures from her younger brother, who lives on Kestler’s floor. The pictures were poorly done, Young said. The lighting was off, the angles were poorly chosen and Hardy didn’t understand how to position her body. So Young decided to share tips to ensure pretty pictures that everyone will enjoy. Hardy stressed she didn’t

want everyone to see them, they were only for “her man” whom she took them for, to which Young responded, “Are you just pretending, or are you really this stupid?” “The best way to take a nude ‘selfie,’ first off, is to always use duck face,” Young said. “Guys love duck face. Seriously, I’ve never ever heard a guy complain about girls who squish their lips together, pucker them and look constipated.” Step two, according to Young, is to make sure you send the man you’re presently having sex with, pictures of you performing sexual acts on other guys. Because guys really enjoy having visual proof that the girl they’re currently having sex with had sex with other guys beforehand.

“If you really want to make him like you, send him a photo collage of you with multiple different men,” Young said. “That way he knows that you’re super experienced.” Finally, Young advises you keep these pictures inside your work place – maybe somewhere in the ceiling tiles. That way, future generations of employees will be able to see your good work, Young said. “What’s better than your legacy being documented and shared for years by new and old co-workers?” Young asked. “Nothing, that’s what.” Email: features@ubspectrum.com

A man of movies: The loss of a legendary critic

ERIC CORTELLESSA Editorial Editor

When Roger Ebert became a film critic in 1967, he came across an obscure film from an unknown director at the Chicago International Film Festival. The film, then titled I Call First, was the debut feature of Martin Scorsese. The 25-year-old neophyte movie critic for The Chicago Sun-Times lauded the work as “absolutely genuine, artistically satisfying and technically comparable to the best films being made anywhere.” He declared it a great moment in American movies, as he predicted the young, thin, shaggy-haired, fast-talking, Italian-American filmmaker fresh out of NYU would go on to become a seminal director. His conjecture would later prove accurate, but what also developed in that moment of prescience was the emergence of one of the most important and perceptive film critics of the 20th and 21st centuries. Ebert grew up Roman Catholic in the American Midwest. He related to Scorsese’s depiction of religious guilt and inner struggle. He was able to find personal resonances in the film despite differences in geography and culture from its New York street toughs. This would happen to him recurrently throughout his life; he was able to find a sense of himself through engaging with characters on the screen. He must have understood when J.R., the film’s hero, embellishes John Wayne in John Ford’s 1956 film The Searchers that the filmmaker, too, was a man who educated himself through his personal study of cinema.

Ebert’s power of perception, ability to empathize and quality of imagination found itself at home in a movie theater. He loved movies intensely and understood their importance completely. In 1975, he became the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. That same year, he began hosting a weekly television show reviewing films for a Chicago public broadcasting station. PBS later picked up the show and Gene Siskel of The Chicago Tribune joined him as co-host. The collaboration resulted in one of the most famous and financially successful television duos in history. They became household names and trademarked the phrase “Two Thumbs Up.” What began as a contentious relationship developed into more of a sibling rivalry. They would argue vehemently and more than occasionally dished personal insults the other’s way. Ebert would denigrate Siskel for being bald; Siskel would do the same to Ebert for being fat. Aside from the intermittent puerile disparaging and nasty bickering, their focus would be on the films, and when they disagreed, they were emphatic to make their points. Both were erudite and spirited, and their passion for the movies was demonstrated in the way they talked about them. In 1982, they left PBS and became a syndicated commercial television show, At The Movies With Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert. As the program grew larger and gained a wider audience, people began to appreciate the joy of talking about movies. They showed the world what it meant to have a detailed dialogue about film, and by doing so, affirmed its legitimacy. While they were both most known for their television presence, they each continued to churn out film reviews at their respective newspapers. Ebert was always the superior writer – more precise in his prose and astute in his observations. It was the content of his written criticism that best illustrated his sharp insight. As someone who once began pursuing a Ph.D. in English at the University of Chicago, Ebert brought a literary sensibility to his craft.

COURTESY OF KAREN PILLING

He made inferences that could be supported, presented arguments cogently and connected new films to old films. He believed in the concept of the cinematic canon. He would elucidate that films are, in fact, texts – that they can and should be read and interpreted as seriously as literature or anything else. He would connect Akira Kurosawa to William Shakespeare, David Lynch to Norman Rockwell, Orson Welles to F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. In his entry on Citizen Kane in the book Great Movies, which contains the catalog of what he considered superlative, he explained his take on the meaning of ‘Rosebud,’ the eponymous character’s dying word later revealed as the childhood sled that was taken from him when he was torn from his parents and sent to boarding school as: “The emblem of security, hope and innocence of childhood, which a man can spend his life seeking to regain. It is the green light at the end

of Gatsby’s pier; it is the leopard atop Kilimanjaro, seeking nobody knows what… It is that yearning after transience that adults learn to suppress.” In 2002, Ebert was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. He went through treatment and a series of surgeries and continued as a film critic. Four years later, he underwent another operation and, a month afterward, his carotid artery burst near the surgery site. It was a side effect of his radiation treatment and nearly killed him. He subsequently continued rigorous treatment and endured more surgeries. He could no longer eat and drink and would have to use a feeding tube to do so, and he lost his ability to speak. While he could no longer perform a television show, he continued to write movie reviews – still able to transmit his own personal voice through written work. Following his recovery, he returned to The Chicago Sun-Times and his website. When he first started

making public appearances, he relied on his wife to help him communicate through scribbling notes to her. He later used a computer voice that would speak when he typed. He made adjustments and learned to live. The one thing he was able to do the same was write movie reviews and would remain as prolific a critic as ever and of the highest quality. Embedded in his work is the sense of criticism’s purpose – to develop better thinkers. He would often say that movies were the greatest art form of the 20th century. The ubiquity and availability of cinema began to mean something profound: That everyone could improve their thinking by thinking about movies and thinking more about how others think about them. He knew not to separately categorize movies and often made it a point to show how different art forms could speak to each other through film – that film itself is a confluence of many art forms. Cinema is connected to everything and can connect to anything. For Ebert, it was connected to his heart as an instrument for living. He was not the first film critic to do all this. He was not even necessarily the greatest at it, but he was great and his significance is that he was the most famous and the most accessible of them all. He helped earn film criticism the recognition of being serious and substantial in the general public’s eye. He made it available to everyone and not just a recreation reserved for the intellectual elite. In the tradition of the great film critics who came before him – James Agee, Manny Farber and Pauline Kael – he exemplified what it meant to be the searching critic. To have a childlike affection for movies that translates into an insatiable hunger to learn from them. He always made it a point to try and learn from movies and we learned from his sharing with us. Our biggest loss now as moviegoers is that after a trip to the theater for a new release, we can no longer emerge with the hopes of comparing our thoughts to his.

An awkward teenage wasteland The Host movie review JAKE KNOTT

Staff Writer

Film: The Host Release Date: March 29 Studio: Chockstone Pictures Grade: BTemptation is a complex sensation to conquer. During a person’s immortal teenage years, saying no to intimacy is a battle within itself. Morals clash and everything is up for ante. Such themes are explored in Stephenie Meyer’s latest supernatural, sleazy romance film: The Host. Much like the Twilight saga, this film offers little insight on real-life scenarios involving passion and romance. Instead, once again, a strong, adolescent girl is trapped in a love affair between two tall, handsome guys. How engaging. What the film does get right is the portrayal of seduction between the couples. One boy expresses affection toward the girl as her morals clash to resist him. She then attempts to seduce the other boy, who earnestly withstands from her love. The words used to express their emotions are contrived, but tune them out and pay attention to the seduction chess game played and there might be a watchable film lurking around here somewhere. The first portion of the film is unbelievably appalling. After Uncle Jeb (William Hurt, Maddened By His Absence) narrates how aliens have inhabited most of humanity, the film dives right into an old-fashioned, obligatory chase scene between the film’s heroine, Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan, Byzantium), and the main antagonist, The Seeker (Diane Kruger, The Bridge). The Seeker is one of the aliens, called Souls, who have embedded themselves into the bodies of humans. Melanie is one of the last survivors in the opening scene but falls out of a window and is captured. This dizzying opening sequence catches the viewer off guard, forming many questions early on. For in-

stance, if a viewer waltzed into The Host with no prior knowledge of its premise, the point of the film would quickly become arbitrary and uninteresting. But stick around for the latter portion of the film. Melanie successfully escapes from the Souls, but not before becoming one of them. Her body is inhabited by a Soul who calls herself Wanderer. Of course, this particular Soul is female, so naturally she falls for an attractive human male. Melanie’s own soul remains lingering in her body, unable to physically control it. Before her capture, flashbacks reveal Melanie had fallen in love with a fellow survivor: Jared Howe (Max

Irons, Red Riding Hood). The conventional plot naturally leads Melanie back to Jared and his group, but in an unsuspecting twist, Jared actually refuses Melanie’s advancements toward him, rarely found in romantic Hollywood films. Meanwhile, Wanderer, still in control of Melanie’s body, falls for another survivor of the group, Ian (Jake Abel, I Am Number Four). Their chemistry is the most fascinating feature in The Host, as Ian willingly seduces Wanderer into kissing him – a moment that many estranged teenage couples can relate to. To much surprise, the romantic battle between Melanie, Jar-

ed, Wanderer and Ian is perplexing and works, mostly because the girls share the same body. Melanie loves Jared, so when Ian seduces Wanderer, Melanie’s voiceover is heard shouting, “No! Stop!” just like a real situation might carry out. Another pleasant surprise about The Host is its reduced action sequences, which aren’t wall-to-wall with explosions and guns a’ blazing. Director Andrew Niccol (In Time), who wrote the screenplays for 1998’s The Truman Show and 2005’s Lord of War, keeps his action straightforward and mostly comprehensible. He only includes action when necessary, focusing more on the love triangle.

Many people will avoid The Host like a disease, based on the past works of Meyer. While it is childish and conventional, the film is somewhat conscious of how teens might think in difficult romantic situations. While the Twilight series was a parable for young women willingly losing their virginity, The Host shows and tells what young women might think about while seduced by men. It’s an interesting parallel. Sort of. Email: arts@ubspectrum.com

Continued from page 4: Holidays

ALEXA STRUDLER, The Spectrum Luna, the baby polar bear at The Buffalo Zoo, walks out of her crate to meet a group of adoring fans.

Raymond Dannenhoffer, associate dean for support services, School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, said Labor Day is a holiday that celebrates the end of the summer and gives families time to spend together and agreed it’s not a day people with families can easily get to work. He feels it would be “very inconvenient for employees to have to be at work on that day.” Labor Day, unlike Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah, is an official legal Federal holiday and there are workforce contracts that govern the holiday, according to Dannenhoffer. Students like John Hanni, a freshman School of Management student, feel holding classes on the Jewish holidays helps UB “remain fair to all religions.” Landel agreed with that concept. “To treat all religions equally, I think is what we’re trying to do,” Landel said. “And to educate the faculty, the staff and the students regarding how they can recognize religions and how they should.” As of now, the vote stands as a recommendation and the outcome depends on Tripathi’s decision. Tripathi and Zukoski will reach and announce a decision by the end of the spring semester, Della Contrada said.

Continued from page 4: Assault For Lozano, a California native, the decision did not come as easily. Smith argued Lozano will go back home to avoid facing punishment and she will not be able to prosecute him thoroughly. Lozano is currently suspended from UB and has been stripped of his wrestling scholarship. Lozano’s lawyer, Kevin Stadelmaier, argued the wrestler has been coming to court every time and should be trusted. Hannah agreed but said if Lozano does not come back, Stadelmaier’s reputation will be at stake. The two are scheduled to appear in court on May 1 at 2 p.m. Email: news@ubspectrum.com

Uncharted territory Baseball team relies on young pitching staff, seasoned hitters during historic start BEN TARHAN

Sports Editor

COURTESY OF UB ATHLETICS Men’s tennis coach Lee Nickell lectures one of his athletes. Nickell has earned his team’s respect through his studious nature, vision for a championship and passion.

Lee-ding the way Men’s tennis coach Lee Nickell continues success as Bulls’ head coach JOE KONZE JR

Senior Sports Editor

Lee Nickell approaches life with a lot of energy – it seems no task is too tough for him. During matches, he rarely cracks a smile, focused on every aspect of every volley. His intensity and approach to coaching are what have gained him the respect of his players. When he is not educating his players on the court with tactics and techniques, he is reading up on coaching philosophies. The men’s tennis coach has studied one coach in particular: the late Jim Valvano, an NCAA champion basketball coach at NC State in the late ’70s and early ’80s. After watching ESPN’s recent documentary on Valvano, Nickell found a technique that caught his eye. At the first practice of every year, Valvano would have his team cut down the nets to put the ‘dream of a championship’ in is his players’ minds.

A couple weeks ago at practice, Nickell did something similar. “We played one point for the Mid-American Conference Championship,” said junior Yevgeniy Jason Shkodnik, who is also the team’s captain. “And when we won that point, we ran on top of each other and simulated it as if we just won the championship. I think different things he picks up from coaches that were successful help us during our matches.” The Bulls (8-6, 2-0 MAC) are currently sitting atop the conference and riding a two-game winning streak. This past Saturday, they claimed their first-ever victory in Kalamazoo against Western Michigan (16-8, 2-1 MAC), followed by a win at Toledo (18-8, 0-2 MAC) on Sunday. Shkodnik said the team’s success can be partially attributed to Nickell’s celebration tactic. “I saw it and I thought it was a cool idea to work with visualization and I want these guys to put themselves in that position,” NickSEE LEE NICKELL, PAGE 18

Through 29 games this season, the baseball team has won as many games as the Bulls have in seven of their entire seasons since 2001, when they became a Division I program. But in a season in which the Bulls have finally been able to play consistently well, not much has gone their way. Last Thursday, they practiced outdoors for the first time this season – they have already played 29 games. This past weekend, their second straight home series was moved to Monroe Community College. The Bulls will not play a home game until at least the 36th game of the season. With 27 games remaining on their schedule, the team sits in second place – tied with defending Mid-American Conference champion Kent State – just seven wins shy of the school record. Buffalo also leads the MAC in overall wins. “I’ve loved our approach from the first game of the year,” said head coach Ron Torgalski. “We come to work every day; we grind it out; we battle.” The main catalyst of change has been a drastic improvement in the pitching staff. Last season, the Bulls played strong offensively, ranking second in total offense in the conference, but their pitching was ranked second to last. The Bulls also lost their best pitcher, Cameron Copping, to graduation. Copping ranked fourth in the conference with 77 strikeouts in 98 innings. The Bulls’ three top starters, known as the “weekend starters” – sophomore Anthony Magovney,

Nick Fischetti, The Spectrum Senior outfielder Jason Kanzler has been the baseball team’s star so far this season.

junior Mike Burke and sophomore Mike McGee – have led the resurgence. All three have shown stretches of brilliance during the season. Magovney’s complete game against Toledo Saturday was the most recent stellar outing. He allowed just one run on five hits and totaled six strikeouts while walking none. Torgalski attributes the pitching staff ’s surprising success to the athletes’ competition with each other this offseason. “Every guy came in here in September knowing: ‘Hey, there are two spots open. I want that spot. I want to be the Friday guy. I want to be the Saturday guy,’” Torgalski said. The result is a team earned run average (ERA) below four and two pitchers – Magovney and Burke – on pace to finish with over 100 innings. They could each finish with more strikeouts than Copping did

last season. “This year, there is a lot less pressure on the offense to put up big numbers,” said senior outfielder Jason Kanzler. “The pitching staff is just doing phenomenal.” The team’s leadership, however, still comes from the offense. While the pitching staff is young, the batting order is full of seniors. Kanzler hits second in the order and leads the team in almost every offensive category. Senior second baseman Jon Mestas is second in runs batted in (RBIs) and senior first baseman Alex Baldock is third. These three have helped the Bulls maintain strong offensive production, even in the absence of injured senior outfielder Matt Pollock, a preseason first-team AllMAC selection, who is out for the year.

Continued from page 16: Baseball The seniors lead by example and refuse to make excuses, according to Torgalski. Kanzler even prefers the road games. “I actually don’t mind it just because Buffalo is not really known for the best weather,” Kanzler said. “I’d rather play in other venues with better weather.” The team has also shown a drastic turnaround in late-inning production. The Bulls had a knack for losing games in the late innings last season. This season, the Bulls have lost just one conference game due to runs scored in the late innings. “Now we are playing with that confidence so when we get to the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, there is not that scared look in their eyes,” Torgalski said. “There is that look of: ‘Hey let’s finish it off. Let’s get that win and move on to the next one.’” The Bulls have traditionally been a second-half team, according to Torgalski. He thinks the Bulls play better when the weather gets warmer and they are able to get more practice time on the

field. He is excited to watch his team, which has already shown it can play with the best in conference, progress. Kanzler believes this team’s mentality is better than it has been in the past. The team is more confident because of its fast start, and the athletes have carried the confidence through the first two months of the season. “You always want your program to have a winning mentality,” Kanzler said. “Winning is expected, but it’s not just expected; winning is habitual, and that’s what Buffalo baseball does. And finally, it kind of feels like that, and we just do what we are supposed to and we win.” The team will travel to Eastern Michigan (14-16, 4-5 MAC) this weekend, looking to win its fourth-straight series. First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 3 p.m. Email:sports@ubspectrum.com

Continued from page 16: Lee Nickell ell said. “You look at last week: We had two separate guys that had to win the match for us. I want them to visualize that pressure. “I want them to visualize what happens when they are successful. And when they get into that situation later on in the season, it’s something that they’ve already dreamed about and visualized about.” In June 2009, Nickell was hired as the men’s tennis coach after an abysmal 2008 season, in which the Bulls went 7-11 and produced just one conference win. However, after just one season at UB, Nickell made tennis in Buffalo relevant again. Nickell changed the complexion of the program, leading the Bulls to a 12-6 overall record and 5-0 MAC record, resulting in the team’s first regular season conference championship. Nickell won MAC Coach of the Year. Since 2009, the Bulls have produced three straight double-digit victory seasons. “I think we had a good enough base of veteran players that have

been here,” Nickell said. “Then bringing me in with my recruiting contacts to bring in a few very good players and then the energy I brought was why we were so successful from the start. The success that we have had in the last few years has been the continuation of recruiting the right guys and keeping the energy maintained.” Last season, the Bulls were the top seed in the MAC Tournament and shared the regular season championship with Northern Illinois. That success likely would not have been possible without the help of his experience as a player at Furman University. Under legendary tennis coach Paul Scarpa (the all-time winningest coach in Division I men’s tennis history), Nickell played No. 1 singles from 1998-2002. Nickell saw success as a player, being named to the All-Southern Conference team twice in singles and once in doubles and taking part in a team that made it to its

first-ever NCAA Tournament in 2001. “Coach Scarpa was the biggest reason I chose to be a college coach,” Nickell said. “I knew that half way through my freshman year that this was going to be my destiny, a college Division I coach, and he had a lot to do with that … I look at my experiences as a tennis player and my time with coach Scarpa. I take the great things I learned from him and I also look at the mistakes he made and I made. I’ve made it my goal to make sure I don’t let my guys repeat the same mistakes I made.” The coaching techniques Nickell has incorporated from Scarpa will be on display as the Bulls shoot for another MAC title this season. They’ll continue their journey on Friday, with a 9 a.m. matchup against Chicago State (1-19, 0-2 MAC). Email: sports@ubspectrum.com
