At the 14:27 mark in the second quarter of Saturday’s game against Kent State, the Bulls found themselves in an unfamiliar position. For the first time this season, they were losing to a conference opponent. But the Flashes’ lead didn’t last for long. The Bulls’ next drive lasted just 1:24 and culminated in a Branden Oliver touchdown – his first of four, a UB Division 1A record. Those were the first of 28 unanswered points the Bulls (62, 4-0 Mid-American Conference) scored en route to a 4121 victory over Kent State (2-7, 1-4 MAC) in front of a crowd of 14,197 at Dix Stadium in Kent, Ohio. It was the Bulls’ sixth straight victory and the win made them bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. “It really was a full team victory today,” said sophomore quarterback Joe Licata. “Our defense stepped up and played amazing. Our special teams stepped up and played very well and our offense was clicking today.” Despite the lopsided score, Kent State gained momentum late in the third quarter. After taking a 34-7 lead with 4:55 left in the third quarter, the Bulls allowed touchdowns on back-toback possessions, which brought the Flashes within two scores at 34-21. But the offense found its groove again through Licata’s second touchdown pass of the night, to junior wide receiver Devon Hughes, which put the Bulls back up by 20. The defense returned to form after allowing touchdowns on back-to-back possessions. The Flashes’ last two drives totaled less than three minutes combined time of possession. One ended with a punt, the other on a turnover on downs.

BRIAN KESCHINGER, THE SPECTRUM

Bulls shut down potent Kent State offense, become bowl eligible for first time since 2008 “Our defense, who is the No. 1 defense in this league, was not going to be denied,” said head coach Jeff Quinn. Oliver was dominant again on Saturday, rushing for 185 yards – his 16th career 100-yard rushing game. He also rushed for a career-high and Division 1A school record four touchdowns. He has rushed for over 100 yards in every conference game so far this season.

At the end of the second quarter, Oliver delivered a signature moment. After senior linebacker Khalil Mack intercepted quarterback Tyler Reardon’s pass at Buffalo’s 9-yard line and returned it into Kent State territory, the Bulls moved the ball to Kent State’s 17-yard line. After two incomplete passes to the end zone intended for senior receiver Alex Neutz, the Bulls faced a 3rd and 10.

Oliver took a handoff and went down the left sideline. He gained the first down and it looked like he would be forced out of bounds short of the end zone. Instead, he put his shoulder into cornerback Darius Polk and carried him into the end zone with him. “I feel like I’m way better than I was two years ago,” Oliver said. “Two years ago was a good year, but this year is going to be an even better year because of the wins.”

Licata had a career day as well, throwing for two touchdowns and tying a career high with 285 passing yards. After leaving the game with a concussion last week, Neutz was back on the field Saturday. He finished the game with three catches for 75 yards and a touchdown. Senior receiver Fred Lee had six catches for 72 yards. The defense wasn’t as stingy as it has been the last few weeks, allowing a touchdown for the first time since Oct. 5, but it was able to hold arguably the most explosive player in the conference – running back Dri Archer – to only 35 yards rushing and three receptions for 35 yards. The Thunder of the East Marching Band traveled to the game along with three buses of students, giving the Bulls a distinct crowd advantage over the meager Kent State fan section. Bowling Green (5-3, 3-1 MAC) lost to Toledo (5-3, 3-1 MAC) on Saturday, leaving Buffalo as the only team with an undefeated conference record in the East division and in sole possession of first place. “We did what we had to do in the beginning of the season,” Neutz said. “We went 5-0. And now we have [beat] Kent State, who won a MAC East championship last year, and here we are. We beat them by 20 points. People will start saying we’re real.” Mack also broke the school record for sacks in a career. He now has 25. It was not all good news for the Bulls on Saturday, however, as senior linebacker/safety and reigning MAC East Defensive Player of the Week Adam Redden did not play the second half with a knee injury. He stood on the sidelines on crutches. The Bulls will now move to the more difficult part of their schedule, as they host Ohio (62, 3-1 MAC) on Tuesday, Nov. 5, at UB Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. email: sports@ubspectrum.com

UB’s English Department stacks up among the best JAMES DRAGONETTE

Staff Writer

UB’s English Department regularly ranks among the best in the country, according to the U.S. News & World Report rankings. Though some people put much stock into these types of departmental rankings, some UB English students and professors have other ideas about what makes their department particularly special. In 2012, the popular news magazine and ranking source ranked UB’s graduate concentration in literary theory and criticism as the ninth best in the nation. This placed UB’s program ahead of those at private educational giants like Harvard, Brown and Stanford, positively highlighting the school and the department in particular. When examining what makes the department special, SUNY Distinguished Professor Bruce Jackson likes to begin by looking at the faculty. Jackson first came to work at UB in 1967 and has been here ever since. He attributes his long stay largely to the other faculty who have been part of his “company,” in the words of the late poet and UB Professor Robert Creeley. Jackson, who turned down job offers from the Uni-

In 2012, U.S. News & World Report ranked UB’s graduate concentration in literary theory and criticism as the ninth best in the nation – ahead of prestigious private schools like Brown University (above).

versity of California, Los Angeles, the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to come to Buffalo, said there wasn’t much contest when choosing where to work. “The reason I came here [over] those other places is this had, by far, the hottest literary group of people in one place in the United States,” Jackson said. “And they weren’t one kind. It had poets, fiction writers, critics, people who could film; everything

was going on here. There were some people in the department who had no degrees at all, and it was 62 people, and, of course, that group drew great students, and so it was by far and away the most interesting place to go.” This “hot” faculty group was also instrumental in bringing SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor Diane Christian to UB three years after Jackson, instead of accepting an offer from the University of California, Berkeley. She believes the

SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor Diane Christian chose UB over the University of California, Berkeley. “Berkeley would’ve been more prestigious, but that department has never been as interesting as this department, ever,” she said.

faculty is one of the things that did, and still does, set UB’s English Department apart from others across the nation. “The thing that really made it different was that it had the artists,” Christian said. “When I first came here, my first year, [John Maxwell] Coetzee, the Nobel Prize winner, was my officemate. He later went back to South Africa and went on to be a very great novelist, but there was just fabulous intellectual energy and it was unique in that way.” Jackson praised the department’s low turnover rate. He said

it separates UB’s English Department from those at other schools. Christian, who is married to Jackson, agreed. “We’ve really kept an amazing amount of people,” Christian said. “We’ve had fabulous retention and it’s because of that energy and innovation – you can’t just make a company like that happen. You can go to a place that would be more prestigious. For example, Berkeley would’ve been more prestigious, but that department has never been as interesting as this department, ever.” SEE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT, PAGE 2

Continued from page 1: English Department The talent and caliber of the professors at UB has remained very much the same over the years, thanks to excellent hiring on the part of the university and an effort to keep the faculty here, Jackson said. Though some may argue Buffalo is merely a Rust Belt shell of its former self, there are those, like Associate Professor David Schmid, who see the city’s positive qualities. He attributes part of the department’s strength to Buffalo itself and to the type of students who choose to come to school in this city, particularly at UB. When looking for a job, Schmid knew he wanted to work at a state school after leaving Stanford, and Buffalo seemed like the perfect fit. “I also wanted to live in a place that was like a real city, and Buffalo had that kind of grittiness that I found really appealing,” Schmid said. “And I’m a first-generation college student, so I really liked the idea of coming to a big state place that still has first-generation college students – that still has a lot of kids working to stay in school and that kind of thing.” The professors believe Buffalo – a city that is “laid back, nice, not full of itself and full of a great artistic energy,” in Christian’s words – is the perfect place for an English Department that’s as active as UB’s to thrive. “Buffalo’s a small city,” Jackson said. “And unlike New York or Los Angeles, if you’re doing stuff, it’s easy to get access to major venues … So, in a way, the whole city is our turf and is a city that’s friendly to people like us.” UB’s English students, who Christian believes to be “not full of themselves, kind of laid back, shrewd,” just like the city they live in, have always been a strength to the department, according to Jackson. “Over the years we’ve been here, the students have gotten better and better, although they’ve always been good,” Jackson said. “That’s one of the reasons we’ve stayed. I taught several classes at Harvard while I was there and people said, ‘Weren’t these students a disappointment after Harvard?’ And I said, ‘Nope.’” Katherine Manion, who majored in English as an undergraduate, is now a master’s candidate in the Graduate School of Education.

She readily recounted not only the strength of UB’s English Department, but also the ways in which it carefully prepared her for graduate school. One strength of the English Department that Manion highlighted was the large amount of physical resources at the disposal of students for research purposes. These include some of James Joyce’s original manuscripts, a copy of Shakespeare’s Folio and many other first-edition publications of major authors. Manion also noted the faculty’s role in her success. “I was really able to take the closereading and analytical skills I learned in the English program and bring them into the graduate setting,” Manion said in an email. “Most of my professors really pushed me to try harder. There was never a professor who just assumed that I had done my best and was going to let me get by. They were constantly pushing me to try harder, or to think deeper, or look further into a topic.” Manion believes not only are the professors strong at pushing their students to work harder, but they’re also still among the most impressive English scholars in the country. “The faculty at UB is the pick of the crop,” she said. “They are still the movers and shakers in their respective fields of English study. They aren’t just rehashing what other academics have said on the topic; they are the ones who are writing what other professors are assigning.” This “moving and shaking” hasn’t stopped since Jackson and Christian arrived at UB nearly half a century ago. Jackson said having an excelling English Department with students willing to learn is vital because “without it, you’re just a trade school.” Christian echoed the sentiment and highlighted the worth of studying English in an academic context and in life outside of college. “It really is the liberal art; it has to do with living, it has to do with values and it has to do with the things that are really necessary to being a human being, not just having a job,” Christian said. “I love it that you might not be able to use it any way except to think and be happy.” email: news@ubspectrum.com

UB students discuss Clinton’s visit, potential presidency Aline Kobayashi, The Spectrum

LAURA MANNARA

Hillary Clinton addressed a sold-out Alumni Arena crowd of 6,500 people last Wednesday as the second installment of this year’s Distinguished Speakers Series.

Contributing Writer Last Wednesday, 6,500 people packed Alumni Arena to listen to Hillary Clinton as part of UB’s Distinguished Speaker Series. In a speech that lasted about 30 minutes, Clinton applauded the current track the City of Buffalo is taking and compared the city to what needs to happen in Washington, D.C. There has been media buzz about Clinton being the leading Democratic candidate for the 2016 presidential election. The UB community gave their opinions on the implications of her speech, the possibility of her candidacy and her potential to be the first female president. Her speech began by praising the hard work of Western New Yorkers and the investments both UB and the City of Buffalo have made for the future. Clinton specifically mentioned UB’s new downtown medical campus, which officially broke ground on Oct. 15, and the recent improvements on Buffalo’s waterfront. Clinton said projects like the medical campus and the improvements of Buffalo’s waterfront are essential to the region’s future, and America should “make the same long-term investments as the ones that made America great.” Vanessa Dwyer, a freshman undecided major, was pleasantly surprised to hear the former Secretary of State focus on Buffalo so exclusively. She expected the speech to be more “worldly and patriotic.” Other students weren’t as impressed. Nick Swartz, a freshman accounting major, found Clinton’s speech to be that “of a typical politician.” He thought her answers to questions raised during the questionand-answer session of the program “circumvented” what she was being asked. “She talked up the small, good things the City of Buffalo has improved on, and not all of the problems we still have to work on,” Swartz said. The last question posed by the audience addressed Clinton’s anticipated run for the presidency in

2016. Vice President of Student Affairs Dennis Black, who hosted the Q&A session, admitted the number of people asking it did not surprise him. Clinton didn’t reveal whether she is planning to run in 2016, but some UB students are excited about the possibility of a woman commanding the Oval Office in three years. “I would love to see a woman in the White House soon,” said Eli Chestnut, a senior Spanish major, in an email. “I just don’t know if it will happen in the next election.” Chestnut said, at this point, she is not sure if she would support Clinton in 2016. But if she does, the decision will not be solely because Clinton is female. “Gender plays a huge role in the way some people vote, but I don’t think people should vote for her just because she is a woman, but because she is well qualified,” Chestnut said. Before Clinton took the stage on Wednesday, students from UB’s College Democrats stood outside Alumni Arena handing out stickers and signs provided by the Ready for Hillary Super PAC, with which Clinton is not affiliated – an effort to energize people for the prospect of a 2016 presidential run. Sean Kaczmarek, a sophomore economics and international studies major and vice president of College Democrats, believes Clinton’s eight years as first lady, eight years as a senator and four years as Secretary of State make her qualified for the presidential position. Alana Barricks, a senior political science major and president of College Republicans, doesn’t agree with all of Clinton’s policies but believes

Winterdnet UB

she is a qualified candidate and acknowledged the role Clinton played in the increase of women in politics. Barricks, who was not in attendance when Clinton gave her speech, added she doesn’t think Clinton is going to run because she hasn’t “expressed interest.” Still, if Clinton is the Democratic nomination, Barricks said she will not vote for her because of her policies. “I will not vote for a woman just based on her gender,” Barricks said. “I will vote for a woman for sharing my political values and ideologies. I don’t doubt that Clinton would be a competent president who would do a lot for women all over the world, but I could never vote for her.” When asked about the Obama campaign’s ability to draw the youth vote in 2008 and 2012, Kaczmarek was confident Clinton could do the same. “In 2008, kids had a chance to make history by electing the first African American president, and they did,” Kaczmarek said. “If given the same opportunity, Hillary Clinton would be able to draw the same support from young voters and make history once again because our generation likes to make history.” Clinton noted in her famous concession speech to Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary, “Although we were not able to shatter that highest and hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it has 18 million cracks in it.” email: news@ubspectrum.com

Assemblyman Louis Sepulveda, a freshman Democratic lawmaker from the 87th district, introduced new legislation in Albany last week. He wants to raise the maximum speed limit in the state from 65 mph to 75 mph. This is a bad idea. There are 16 other states in the United States with 75 mph speed limits – most of them are in the West, with the exception of Maine – but it is a foolhardy idea. And there is a reason that those states are in the minority. In 2012, there were 33,780 highway fatalities, according to NBC News. Why, when there has just recently been such an excessive number of deaths on highways, would we want to make an already dangerous system even more dangerous? Sure, there are many people who get ticketed frivolously from cops desperate to put the hammer on any civilian who comes their way. Some people get ticketed for going 71 mph in a 65 mph zone – when every other

car on the road is going around the same speed – and many New Yorkers are fed up with cops ruining their day every chance they get. But no policy should put the sake of relieving financial burden of its people before the sake of saving lives. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that a collision at 75 mph could do more damage than one at 65 mph. And people go a little over the limit no matter what. It is standard practice to go five mph above the designated limit. So if the limit is 65 mph, most people are going around 70 mph. If you raise the maximum limit to 75 mph, in those zones where the limit is that high, people will begin driving around 80 mph, which would make the highway a much more dangerous place to drive. The bill that Sepulveda has introduced would allow each county to set its own limit, but certainly some would take advantage of the increased maximum level. Even more certain in this bill’s

destiny is intense opposition to be mounted from safety organizations. As it should – data has long concluded that the higher the speed on highways, the more traffic deaths that ensue, according to The Buffalo News. It is pure logic that deduces such an inference and the stats back it up, too. This bill should not see passage in Albany. There is not a single Senate sponsor associated with this bill yet and this is a good portent – it is unlikely to receive much support in the legislature. Some proponents of the bill and the notion that the speed limit should be increased to 75 mph suggest that people drive that fast anyway. Well, this is somewhat true. But what these individuals forget is that people drive that fast because the limit is set at or around 65 mph. Put the limit at 75 mph and expect the speed at which many people drive to increase beyond that set limit.

If Sepulveda’s proposal were to gain any traction, it would be a very precarious indicator of the state of legislative process in Albany; there is no data or argument for it that is grounded in improving people’s lives. The bill is more probable to end lives than it is to make them better. As this bill is considered during the coming session, it should be categorically rejected by the legislature at large. Increasing the buffer speed limit is an increase on the amount of danger on the road. And this is never good policy. Sepulveda may want to consider that it will be hard to retain more votes for himself if his constituents die on the highways before the next election – which is more likely to happen if this bill is passed. email: editorial@ubspectrum.com

Eavesdropping galore

United States loses credibility by spying on allies Since recent revelations have surfaced regarding the National Security Agency’s intercepting the phone calls of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and a host of other foreign leaders and their governments and their citizens, President Obama has been forced to try and persuade the world that this program is under control. But he has had no such success. His attempt to convince Germany and French President François Hollande that they should be at ease with his surveillance strategy is unconvincing – to put it kindly. No explanation he has provided has included a shred of comprehensive description; everything he has said has felt deliberately inadequate. Reports have stated that President Obama told Merkel that her phone was not being monitored and would not be in the future. It is an answer evading any recognition of what has been done in the past and is also an answer that recognizes the act of monitoring her phone calls is wrong. Thanks to Der Spiegel, he has at least been forced to provide answers – however lacking they may be. A recent report by the Ger-

man newsmagazine detailed how the NSA tapped the cell phone of Chancellor Merkel and over 70 million phone calls in France. These findings likely come from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden – though that has not been officially confirmed. The United States has also spied on the Mexican government and over 30 other nations. When Snowden’s leak surfaced this summer, the media inflated much of what came to light. Suddenly, “Big Brother” was watching us. But it was President George W. Bush who initiated this policy; President Obama, who criticized it in the past, recognized how he needed it once he stepped into office. But it was also justifiable. None of the documents indicated that random Americans were being watched just for being Americans. Most of the people you heard hollering about how the government was invading your privacy did not have arguments rooted in what the NSA was actually doing. Keeping track of Americans who are communicating with foreign citizens who are either alleged terrorist suspects or are

connected to those who are is a reasonable and necessary precaution to ensure the safety of the nation. And this had been happening long before it was disclosed. The NSA got caught when Snowden shared classified information in May. And Obama took the brunt of the criticism, but remember: Obama gets the blame whenever there is a flood these days. This time is different. However wrongly the NSA controversy was handled this summer, Obama has stepped out of line with recent actions. Such surveillance on our closest allies undermines our credibility and trust with the international community. It also hurts the very goal it is trying to achieve. Losing the faith and trust of our allies makes them less likely to share information with us that could help thwart terrorist activity. It does the United States no good to play by its own rules and ignore the principles of democratic alliances. In today’s world, we rely on broad data collection to combat global threats. We need the cooperation from other nations to

help us with this endeavor, and the action taken by NSA makes other nations less likely to work with us. Why would they if at the same time we are spying on them? To get out of this imprudent situation, the United States should take up Chancellor Merkel and President Hollande’s proposal to forge an agreement that sets the guidelines for U.S. intelligence operations in Europe. President Obama should work with these leaders to come to an agreement and should stay clear of vagaries regarding surveillance and privacy. One of the president’s main campaign promises in 2008 was to restore America’s standing in the world. Disclosures such as this undercut that effort and weaken its chances of coming to fruition. Participating in an agreement between allied nations would be a substantial way to make good on his campaign promise, which has seemed to elude him since he took his oath. email: editorial@ubspectrum.com

UB takes back the night 25th-annual event addresses sexual violence ANDREA SAADAN

Contributing Writer

Katya Palsi was 15 years old when she took 15 shots of alcohol with three of her schoolmates. She stumbled and fell as she tried to walk across the living room they were in. Instead of being helped up, she found herself pinned down by one of the boys who was there. Palsi was sexually assaulted that night. It has been nine years since the incident, and Palsi is now a project manager and documentarian for PACT5, a national movement to stop sexual assaults and rape in colleges. On Thursday night, she attended the 25th annual Take Back The Night, hosted by SBI Health Education. Palsi was invited as a keynote speaker, and the Student Union Theatre was almost entirely filled with students and members of the community for her talk. College-age individuals are statistically at the highest risk of sexual assault, said Jane Fischer, the director of SBI Health Education, in an email. One in four women and one in six men will be sexually assaulted before the age of 18, according to Women Organized Against Rape, a nonprofit organization in Philadelphia, Pa. Thursday night’s event started with a performance by UB’s female a cappella group The Royal Pitches, which has performed at every Take Back The Night since its inception in 1988. After Palsi’s speech, the Korean Folk Art Club (KFAC) led the candle-lit march that started outside of Starbucks, went to Ellicott Complex and came back to the Union. University Police (UPD)

SBI Health Education hosted its annual Take Back The Night walk to promote awareness and support for those who have been sexually assaulted.

escorted the group. Many carried handmade picket signs that read: “Claim our bodies, claim our rights.” Joseph Westlake, a physical therapy graduate student who has been volunteering with SBI Health Education for five years, attended the event. Instead of carrying a picket sign, Westlake wore a customized purple t-shirt to show his support. “In the office, we’re all wearing purple shirts,” Westlake said. “Purple is the color chosen by a lot of the victims to kind of show support for Take Back The Night and I have a slogan on mine.” The front of his shirt said, “Go Violet For,” and the back said, “No Violence.” Aaron Maracle, an assistant director for SBI Health Education,

said any awareness-raising march is a “great way for people who want to be involved in a cause but don’t know how.” “You don’t have to take on the world to make a difference,” Palsi said. “The main message is bystander intervention. It’s to recognize you have the opportunity to make a difference.” David Urbanek, a UPD lieutenant, believes awareness among students plays a crucial role in lessening the stigma and increasing the sensitivity toward sexual violence. “[Students] should never be bystanders but always intervene,” Urbanek said. “The average citizen at an average party or average get-together must intervene and notify the authorities before the situation gets worse … Even if you just tell someone, do it so

things don’t go the bad way.” Palsi is appreciative of how people are starting to become more aware and willing to speak up against sexual violence. She said it is important for the general masses to move away from the “victim-blaming culture” and embrace the idea of bystander intervention. “We don’t generally have conversations about this [and] maybe that’s why … the perception is off,” Fischer said. “In our culture, we aren’t talking about this enough. Any public health or safety issue that reaches these kinds of numbers should be discussed and addressed as a society.” Westlake felt that Palsi’s talk “added authenticity” to the night because it emphasized the reality of sexual violence. He said it

served as a wake-up call to students who may not have viewed sexual and domestic violence as prevalent problems. Fischer wants SBI Health Education to send the message of intolerance toward violence. She wants there to be conversations about sexual assault within the UB community. It took Palsi five years to realize she had been sexually assaulted and to finally speak out about it. Fischer hopes that through Take Back The Night, students feel empowered to “stand up, speak up and speak out” and survivors feel supported.

men don’t have the same opportunity to rate and find women using something like Lulu. Where is “Mumu?” I wondered. When I started hearing some ideas from friends and classmates about what they thought would constitute good categorical ratings for girls and hashtags to establish who was best, I realized that an app like this brings out the worst in people’s judgment. These “gentlemen” suggested a hot and crazy scale, breast size, body proportion, intelligence, cleanliness, domesticity and, of course, sex, all as good qualities to consider for an app that would rate women. Hashtags included: #BubbleButt, #SitOnMyFace, #HourGlass for the best women on Facebook, and #ThunderThighs, #Rachet and

#GoldDigger for the worst. It sounds ridiculous, but let’s not forget about the hashtags women are actually giving men on Lulu. Women say they are eager to meet someone who fits the description of #SexPanther, #DancesLikeMJ or #StrongHands. Whereas, #****edMeAndChuckedMe, #DrinksTheHaterade and #QuestionableSearchHistory all represent the worst finds. It seems like Lulu or a potential app for men would only benefit those who are already good at one-night stands and shallow attempts at finding love. Everything about either app just generally sounds ethically wrong.

I’m not a sex panther. I know I can’t piece together IKEA furniture – but yes, I do know mothers love me. Normally these characteristics might not be taken too deeply into consideration when looking for the perfect man, but they are among the most popular qualities that Lulu is looking for.

Lulu is new a smartphone app that allows women to rate men on Facebook using a scale of one to 10 based on their attractiveness and other superficial qualities. With the app, girls have fun rating their male Facebook friends based on many categories that ultimately determine what makes one guy more appealing than another. Some men argue that it’s unfair not to have a counterpart app for rating women, but the whole idea of an app like this is ridiculous to begin with. A glance at the comments section for the app on the Apple Store website reflects a great deal of discontent from both males and females who feel that Lulu can be a form of cyber bullying with its degrading and pathetic guidelines for determin-

ing what makes an ideal potential partner. One user commented, “If there was an app similar to this, where guys rated girls, there would be an enormous outcry to have it removed.” An app like Lulu is totally inappropriate for either gender to be using. If girls can rate their male friends via Facebook, why can’t guys do the same for their female friends? At first, this was my only issue with the app – that

Radio personality extraordinaire discusses life at Center For the Arts VICTORIA ROSEMAN

Contributing Writer

Ira Glass spent the first 10 minutes of his show in darkness. The audience heard the radio personality as they were used to – without a face. Using his iPad as a flashlight, Glass wandered the Center For the Arts (CFA) stage talking about radio and how it differed from other forms of media. After he made his point, Glass introduced himself, turned on the lights and quipped, “Didn’t expect that voice to come from this form, huh?” Glass, the host and founder of the radio talk show This American Life, spoke about his life, career and position as a radio show host at the CFA on Saturday. His show takes everyday news and makes it comical. The show premiered in 1995 on Chicago’s public radio station WBEZ. Today, the show is broadcasted on over 500 stations; it has over 2.1 million listeners and an additional 1 million who listen on the Internet via podcast. Since the show’s beginning, Glass has been named “best radio host” in the country by Time magazine, and the show has received “all of the major broadcasting awards,” according to the This American Life website. Glass’ presentation took the audience through the innermost workings of This American Life using not only his voice, but also sound clips of interviews and past shows. The combination of his dynamic storytelling and well-timed sound clips created a show about how broadcast journalism is about much more than simply telling the news. The journalist explained how his show has became so popular and why it is so different from other radio shows. “When we’re planning a show, we have to ask ourselves, ‘What will make people listen past that first minute?’” Glass said. “What we find works best is to not tell them what the story is about for the longest time. That way, out of sheer curiosity, listeners cannot change the station.”

Ira Glass, the host and founder of the radio talk show This American Life, spoke about his life, career and position as a radio show host at the CFA on Saturday.

Avid listeners of Glass got to hear the details behind past stories, and many thought the show at the CFA was fascinating. “I almost preferred the way [some of the news stories] were told tonight,” said Amanda Darge of Hamburg. “I remember hearing them on the radio when they occurred, but now hearing the whole backstory behind it, I enjoy it so much more.” Glass also explained the troubles he has with censorship laws. The journalist explained the inappropriate words that get “bleep-ed out” on the air can be essential to the story. He does this in a way that isn’t crude or offensive, but honest. Glass gave multiple examples of times his show was forced to cut whole segments because of words they contained. He pointed out that sometimes editors would make a mistake and “bleep out” the wrong word.

“It’s important in journalism to tell a story,” Glass said. “No matter how big or small it is, it should be the most interesting story someone has heard all day.” This American Life experimented with covering both worldwide news and small stories. What he found is that following these smaller stories was much more interesting and impactful than the major news every other media source seemed to be covering. Another important aspect of Glass’ show is the background music that fans say seems to be perfectly timed and appropriate for the situation. Glass explained that isn’t an easy feat. Their goal in the studio is to create a melody to fill space, not just elevator music or humming. “We have a deep need for music with forward motion that doesn’t say a lot,” Glass said.

“I never expected to be working for NPR at 19, or to have reported in the Chicago schools, or to be here today with my own show,” Glass said. “Sometimes, things just happen that way – unexpected but wonderful.” Many members of the audience were followers of Glass and had been listening to his show for years. When the opportunity arose to ask the host questions, he found himself overwhelmed by the amount of hands that flew into the air. He patiently answered questions about the type of equipment he uses and where he finds his stories. He left the audience with advice about their own dreams: “If you want to do creative work, just do it. Don’t wait; start now. The time is now, where the tools are so easily available to begin new projects. If you just try stuff, just put in the effort, luck will kick in.” email: arts@ubspectrum.com

News Briefs

Editor’s note: This article is satirical and is not meant to be taken literally. Dear Carson, I am sick of Halloween. Every year, I do the same stupid routine with my friends, and it’s getting old. We overpay for cheap polyester costumes that only end up ruined and soaked in mud, blood and alcohol after a night of debauchery. Not too mention, nearly every costume I’ve ever worn was entirely uncomfortable, and it’s almost impossible to find one that flaunts my sculpted physique while passing for something unique, funny and/or scary rather than something I might wear to any other party. So, I overpay for the costume I don’t want or need just to get drunk like I do on any other weekend. The costume doesn’t help me get with chicks or anything cool like that, so what’s the point? I remember a time when I lived for getting dressed up in a ridiculous costume before destroying the town or trick-ortreating with a band of my closest buddies – then came a departure. When I moved on to high school, I became way too cool to take part in Halloween festivities. That all changed once again in college when everyone grew into their own skin a bit more and felt cool being silly again. For what seems like probably the last time in my life, I am making another transition where buying a costume/celebrating Halloween isn’t as simple as it used to be when I was five. Getting dressed up in a Buzz Lightyear outfit or a ghost sheet just to go to a house party feels silly, but I’ll definitely be dragged into some kind of

“We want to be able to talk during the parts of songs where you could imagine people singing.” Glass also talked about how his life led him to his current position as a radio show host. Although his parents hoped he would become a doctor, when they saw his passion for radio journalism, they supported him in all of his endeavors. At 19 years old, Glass became an intern at the National Public Radio (NPR) headquarters in Washington, D.C. He hosted and reported for many different programs, including Talk of the Nation and All Things Considered. In the early ’90s, Glass spent two years reporting on the Chicago Public School system, and he wrote a big piece about how class size affects a student’s ability to learn. After this report, Glass was offered his own radio show, which evolved into This American Life.

Halloween celebration no matter what. Can you think of a better way to enjoy Halloween, costumed or not, for someone like myself ? Sincerely, Casper the bro Dear Bro, While cheap polyester costumes are obvi mainstream, it’s what you do with the gear that counts. To me, it sounds like you’re doing it right already. I’m surprised getting doused in your own blood, cheap beer and mud is getting boring for you, but people struggle to have a good time in this information age. For that reason, let’s go way back for a new spin on a timeless Halloween classic: a good old-fashioned séance. This is something I’ve always been curious about but never actually tried myself. No worries. All it took for me to find out the important information was a Google search that led me to About.com’s “How To Con-

duct A Séance” guide – perfect. Luckily, no costume needed here, so you can spend your money on what they consider the essentials for this particular list: a table, candles and food. Hmm…what kind of food do dead people like? They suggest bread as enticing physical nourishment for the spirits, but I know all of my ancestors were gluten-free before that ish was even cool. I’m going with guac and organic blue corn chips with some Sriracha to look like blood. About.com lists this activity as having a difficulty level of “average” and a time commitment of only 30 minutes… Wow! Who knew you could put in this kind of work with such little effort involved. Be careful, raising the dead can be pretty heavy. This guide warns, “Don’t allow participants who you don’t think could handle a séance psychologically. Children, for example, must never participate.” Perfect for you, man. You’re looking to grow up so here it is. Say hello to the spirits for me.

Billy’s Gift provides a bedroom makeover for sick Buffalo girl Natalie Rivera of Buffalo came home to find her bedroom completely redecorated. The 15-year-old was born with Caudal Regression Syndrome and was chosen by Billy’s Gift, a nonprofit organization, to receive a new room. Billy’s Gift treated Rivera to a shopping spree, dinner and the new bedroom, which includes a custom desk made by co-founder William Mullen that accommodates Rivera’s wheelchair. Rivera is waiting for her second kidney transplant after her body rejected the one given by her mother, Ericka Galeano. Rivera goes through dialysis three times a week while attending the Buffalo Academy of Visual and Performing Arts as a sophomore vocal major. Galeano and her family are planning on moving closer to Women & Children’s Hospital and, knowing this, the Billy’s Gift team made the decorations in Rivera’s room removable and portable. Belinda and William Mullen of Lockport experienced their fiveyear-old son, Billy, pass away to leukemia in 1985. This prompted them to found the organization that revamps bedrooms of children with life-altering or lifethreatening illnesses in their son’s name. “I’ve been that mom,” Mullen told The Buffalo News. “We know what it’s like to be that family.”

Billy’s Gift started two years ago with a garage sale that transformed into fundraisers and auctions to help raise money for their cause. They consistently need volunteers to help with the redecorations. NSA may have had Merkel under surveillance for over a decade A report by the National Security Agency’s Special Collection Service (SCS) may have exposed the surveillance of Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel’s phone for more than 10 years. Merkel is the first female chancellor of Germany and the first woman leader of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). Merkel’s mobile number has been listed in the NSA report since 2002. This was three years before Merkel became chancellor. Her name, under “GE Chancellor Merkel,” was still there a few weeks before President Barack Obama’s visit to Berlin in June. It is unclear if the information taken from her phone were her calls or her contacts. The tapped phone was unencrypted and given to her by CDU, according to the Irish Times. Merkel divided her communications between an official encrypted phone used for government business and the CDU phone. email: news@ubspectrum.com

Quick Hits

Weekend road trips treacherous for Bulls Volleyball (16-7, 4-6 MidAmerican Conference) The Bulls’ road trip against the two worst teams in the MAC West did not go as well as they would have liked. They lost on Friday to Central Michigan (11-11, 5-5 MAC), 3-0, and on Saturday to Eastern Michigan (14-11, 4-6 MAC), 3-1. Buffalo won only one set combined in both matches as it dropped two games below .500 in conference play. “At the beginning of the match, it was a completely different attitude on their side of the net compared to our side,” said head coach Todd Kress after the Bulls’ match against Central Michigan on Friday night. “You’re not going to win matches when you bring that lack of energy to the court.” The Bulls have now lost three straight matches. They have six more games left in the regular season, three on the road and three at home. Women’s Soccer (5-9-3, 2-7-1 MAC) With just three matches left in the regular season, the Bulls took to the road this weekend. On Friday night, they played to a 1-1 tie with Eastern Michigan (10-6-2, 7-2-1 MAC), the second-place team in the MAC West. On Sunday, the Bulls could not find enough offensive firepower to keep up with MAC West leader Western Michi-

Chad Cooper, The Spectrum

Senior forward Karen McMahon and the women’s soccer team played two road games this weekend. They tied Eastern Michigan Friday night in a 1-1 effort and lost 2-1 to Western Michigan. The Bulls have three games left and have a 2-7-1 record in MAC play.

gan (9-4-4, 7-1-2 MAC) as they dropped their match 2-1. Senior midfielder Courtney Mann scored the Bulls’ only goal in the 89th minute. Men’s Soccer (3-10-3, 1-3-0 MAC) The Bulls dropped their final non-conference matchup of the season to Belmont on Saturday, 1-0. The game was even throughout, with each team taking eight shots. Belmont’s Alfred Edmonds scored the game winner in the 39th minute. Buffalo has two more conference matches before wrapping up the regular season.

Swimming and Diving Both teams hosted Cornell on Friday night in a non-scoring event. The teams combined to win 22 of the 32 events. On Saturday, the women hosted Toledo in their conference opener. They dropped the meet, 192-100. Senior Brittney Kuras won three events – the 200-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle and 200-yard individual medley – and freshman Cristina Czyrka won the 200-yard breaststroke. Both teams will be swimming next Saturday, with the women traveling to Ohio and the men hosting Penn State at 2 p.m. email: sports@ubspectrum.com

Advice: “Don’t wear skirts on campus. It’s too windy.”

Continued from page 8: Madness They weren’t the only ones electrifying the arena during the dunk contest. With the first dunk of the final round, senior guard Josh Freelove emerged from behind the stands sporting a Bobby Hurley No. 7 Sacramento Kings jersey. Freelove started from the corner of the court and ran down the baseline. He put the ball between his legs, did a reverse dunk and received a perfect score from the panel. Sophomore guard Mackenzie Loesing won the three-point contest, beating out two of her teammates, three members of the men’s team and the Bills’ Williams. Loesing hit four of her final six shots in the championship round to defeat sophomore guard Jarryn Skeete. “Sometimes you just have to show the boys how it’s done,” Loesing said. “There absolutely was [trash talking between the guys and girls], but it’s always in good fun. They always think they are going to win, but little do they know we have what it takes

to beat them.” Women’s head coach Felisha Legette-Jack brought intensity to the crowd after entering the court through a blue-smoke filled tunnel. She demanded fans get on their feet and prepare for an exciting night of Bulls basketball. “I just love the transformation going on,” Legette-Jack said. “The enthusiasm has taken a leap by 100 miles per hour. “We don’t know what tomorrow’s going to bring. We’re not promising to win every single game, but we know that if [fans] come, we are going to compete and give everything we have.” The men’s regular season starts on the road at Texas A&M Nov. 9 and the women start their season at Binghamton Nov. 8. Both teams’ home openers are set for Nov. 16 in a doubleheader event at Alumni Arena. email: sports@ubspectrum.com

Continued from page 8: Mack I firmly believe Mack is the greatest player in UB history. And the senior leader is much of the reason Buffalo is now 6-2 (4-0 MAC). Who would have thought the Bulls would look this strong after they barely won a five-overtime game against FCS squad Stony Brook to improve to 1-2? It sure didn’t seem likely. The Bulls have emerged as a legitimate contender in the MAC through four conference games, though, for a number of different reasons – Joe Licata’s development as a confident starting quarterback; the defense’s ferocious, well-balanced attack; the new gameday environment at UB Stadium that has more fans than ever in the seats. Buffalo’s best player, however, has been the biggest factor in its rebound. Even if you don’t care about Buffalo being bowl eligible for the first time since 2008 (the International Bowl year), you should care about seeing a stud like Mack wearing a State Univer-

sity of New York at Buffalo uniform. Head coach Jeff Quinn has called Mack a once-in-a-lifetime talent, the best he has seen in his 30 years of coaching. I can’t argue with the superlatives. “Mack, man, what God does in him amazes me,” said senior running back Branden Oliver, who finished with 31 carries for 185 yards and four touchdowns – the most by a UB player since the school joined Division 1A in 1999. There have been countless times this year that other reporters and I have broken out in laughter, chuckling at some egregious play Mack has made. There were many of those moments Saturday. It’s a laughter that questions, “Is there anything this guy can’t do?” Well, there is one thing: He had a streak come to an end Saturday when he didn’t take his interception all the way to the end zone.

LIBERTY YELLOW

Last week, after the Bulls’ 32-3 win at home against UMass, Mack was asked during the press conference about his interception return for a touchdown (that was also the turning-point moment in that game). He said he was going to remind his teammates that he was three for three – as in, he had returned all three interceptions in his career for a touchdown. In 2011, he returned an interception for a touchdown against Stony Brook that was nullified by an excessive celebration penalty. He was counting that play as one of the three, so I asked if he really thinks that counts. “Shh,” he whispered into the mic. “Don’t tell nobody.” Sorry, Khalil. Nothing about your game is a secret to anyone any more. email: aaron.mansfield@ubspectrum.com
