Robin G. Schulze appointed dean of College of Arts and Sciences New CAS dean chosen after extensive, national search HANNAH STEIN SENIOR NEWS EDITOR

Robin G. Schulze has been named dean of UB’s College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), effective July 1, after an extensive national search. Charles F. Zukoski, UB provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs, announced Thursday afternoon that Schulze has been appointed as dean. Schulze has served as the associate dean for the humanities and was an English professor at the University of Delaware. Former CAS dean E. Bruce Pitman stepped down and resume his role as a pro-

fessor and researcher at UB. Pitman announced in October 2015 he would step down after his five-year tenure. Faculty in the CAS said Pitman was an “innovative leader,” but was selected as dean during a time when STEM was accelerating and the arts were declining. The national search for the new dean consisted of a list of more than 50 “wellqualified” applicants. This was narrowed down to a list of 15 candidates, then Schulze was selected out of the final four candidates, according to Robert Shibley, dean of the School of Architecture and Planning. “As dean, I am confident that Dr. Schulze will lead our College of Arts and Scienc-

es to build on its strengths, achieve even greater prominence in research and education and enhance its impact in our local and global communities,” Zukoski said in his announcement to the university. CAS is the largest academic unit on campus with 27 departments, 16 academic programs, 23 centers and institutes, two art galleries and major theater and music performance venues, according to the UB website. Schulze earned her Ph.D in English and her master’s degrees in English and music performance from the University of Michigan. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in music history from Yale University.

Voting in the 2016 election is not only a right, but a responsibility EDITORIAL BOARD This upcoming presidential election is arguably the most important one of our young lives. Once we move through university, we are set out into the “real world” where the laws and bills that are passed in D.C. begin to directly affect our journey into adulthood. We must be educated on the issues that are discussed, the platforms of the candidates and most recently, the conventions that will take place. These conventions are where the party leaders will help their candidates decide what they believe should be addressed in upcoming debates and eventually, their presidential term. This all culminates to one final responsibility for every registered citizen over 18: voting. If you do not vote, you have no say in the way our government is run, especially in this polarizing election. Not to discredit any other election’s significance, but the policy changes each candidate may make in office will have a direct impact as our generation moves forward. The seniors will graduate less than six months after the new president is inaugurated and will soon face the results of their No-

It’s no secret that college students aren’t the most fiscally stable group out there. Sometimes it can’t be helped, other times money can be managed better. For incoming freshmen, Money Talk is a column to discuss issues involving the pockets of the average student, but also national and international finance-related topics. College is exciting for many reasons, one of which is becoming more financially independent. Financial independence involves more than just earning a paycheck and paying your bills, it’s also about learning how to pay yourself and having long-term financial goals. This may seem like a simple idea, but it is not one that is easily implemented in everyday habits.

It’s not expected a college student is going to be making much money since many choose not to work and focus on school, but learning how to manage little funds comes in handy when the income grows larger. As a basic rule, everyone should have a savings account, which you’re consistently putting money into. According to The Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, which is a Fortune 100 ﬁnancial services organization, 20 percent of your income should be saved. While there are various forms of saving your income, putting your money into something that accrues interest is ideal - the better the interest rate, the more money can be earned. It’s even beneﬁcial to open an account that isn’t easy to dip into on a whim; at that point a savings account becomes nothing more than a second checking account. It makes you think twice about taking money out and forcing you to learn how to manage money better. Paying yourself also means knowing the difference between a need and a want, then knowing how much you really want something.

If you really think about purchases and the amount of time you would spend using something, more often than not, you would end up putting down what you intended to buy. A second thought about a decision is usually all it takes to make the right choice. If you do end up deciding to make that purchase, it helps to think about paying the extra dollar for quality assurance. While spending that extra $5 or $10 on a product may seem like a simple choice, more often than not, that cheaper product will end up breaking or not properly working at some point. This means you to have to go out and buy another one, which only helps the seller and manufacturer. While the concept of paying yourself may come off as simple, implementing it in your everyday life and making a habit of it is anything but. A basic introductory topic for incoming freshmen, the column can be expected to discuss more complex topics. email: kenneth.thomas@ubspectrum.com

Letter from the editor Why the best things in college are free

GABRIELA JULIA EDITOR IN CHIEF

College is almost synonymous with money. We put thousands of dollars in to one day make it all back. This idea consumes us and while looking back at my freshman year, I

think about how money put such a strain on my family and myself. Tuition, housing, textbooks and food. The list kept getting longer and stress levels were getting higher. But as I approach my last year, I have refused to let money take over this experience. It took me a long time to realize the most valuable experiences here at UB were free. I came to college with one goal in mind: get my degree, ﬁnd a job and make money. But I wish I had set other goals. To become more open-minded and learn about things bigger than myself.

ertarian party is beneficial. Governor Johnson (NM) may be the most prominent non-bipartisan candidate running and he has recently stated his intentions of attracting the disenfranchised voters who previously supported Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination but don’t support Clinton. This information is surface level. Voting is a right you shouldn’t waste with vague, flashy headlines that tell you what to do. There are those who may reject the idea of voting at all in this election for fear of choosing the “lesser of two evils” from the two biggest political parties in the country. But you should face the reality of what our system affords you and choose the vote you feel benefits your future most. The future is all anyone has and making tough decisions is an integral part of life at any stage. We must accept that one person will be elected in November and it is our duty to decide who that person is. Ultimately it’s not up to the editorial board to make our readers vote, far from it. It rests squarely on the shoulders of every student, 18 and older, to take responsibility and make an educated decision.

Why it’s important to learn how to pay yourself in college and tips on how to do it

More recently Hillary Clinton became the likely Democratic candidate after a Tuesday in early June with most remaining state primaries. Touted by media and politicians alike as the more qualiﬁed candidate, Clinton would also be the second oldest president elected at 68. Clinton’s issues with the media, including accusations of lying about Benghazi or supporting big money, have not helped her cause this election season. Nonetheless Clinton would feel immediately at home, literally once again, stepping into the White House to run the country. Clinton’s reputation proceeds as her experience in government cannot nearly be matched by another candidate – an idea which could bring comfort to the American people who are afraid of the dynamic of the country changing drastically. Her claims of being someone who simply gets things done may have been proven and be preferred to whoever the other candidates will be after her four years in ofﬁce. Far-reaching speculation aside, either of the two main candidates running again may not appeal to you at all.

vember decision. The incoming freshmen will be facing a re-election campaign for whoever wins this fall as they graduate. It’s important to make an informed decision and to consider more than just the candidate’s current stance on things like education and gun control, but whether you believe they will make it into a second term. Consistency is key in any position of power and it’s important to think about both long and short term effects for each candidate. Donald Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee for president. His current rhetoric disparaging those of various races and religions make it hard to see him as our president for four years, especially since he seems to have no remorse for his commentary. At the same time, perhaps his divisive immigration and foreign policy will put us in a better ﬁnancial place. In time, it might seem smart to some to vote him into ofﬁce another four years to continue the perceived upward trending of our economic balance. His knowledge of business and vivacious character cannot be denied and his successes and failures from the multiple Trump industries speak for themselves.

aware or socially conscious. You don’t have to pay to attend a general body meeting with the Muslim Student Association and learn about their religion. You don’t have to pay to talk to students in the LGBTQ & Allies group. You don’t have to pay to ask the person next to you in class where they’re from. Being “woke” in today’s society is a must. You can’t speak from experience if you don’t have any experiences. But this sense of uncertainty shouldn’t make you take a step back from the conversation. So many people correlate success with money, but in my opinion, ignorance and a refusal to listen won’t

make you successful, period. My advice to incoming freshmen is simple. Stop tuning people out. Wake up, ask questions and listen. Just because a situation doesn’t apply to you, don’t think it doesn’t affect you. It affects your best friend, brother, sister, professor and your future children. As students, we can’t continue to ﬁght for our voices to be heard if we aren’t willing to listen to those of our peers. I’ve seen people graduate from college still holding onto a closeminded mentality. Don’t be one of those people with such a narrow outlook. Take advantage of the things money can’t buy. email: gabriela.julia@ubspectrum.com

Third ﬂoor of Capen library set to reopen in fall 2016

UB officials plan to unveil renovated library this fall ASHLEY INKUMSAH SENIOR NEWS EDITOR

Almost two years and more than $8 million later, UB students will finally get the opportunity to experience the newly-renovated Oscar A. Silverman Library on the third floor of Capen Hall this fall. The library, affectionately dubbed “Club Capen” by students, closed down on Dec. 16, 2014 for renovation. The reopening was originally scheduled for November 2015, but after a few setbacks it was ultimately delayed. These setbacks included construction concerns and asbestos fibers in the vinyl floor tiles of the library in April 2015. The budgeted cost of the renovation totaled in $8,900,000, according to UB Spokesperson John Della Contrada. The library closed down as part of the Heart of The Campus, an initiative that aims to renovate all three of UB’s campuses. “The renovations are transforming Silverman into an open, light-filled, technology-enriched library space that reflects the diverse ways in which students learn, study and interact with information in the 21st century,” said Kathleen Quinlivan, senior assistant librarian. The renovated library will feature casual group and individual study spaces where students can

“unplug or plug in,” according to Quinlivan. It will also include One Button Studios and media editing stations where students can create, edit and view media productions. The library will be enclosed with new technology spaces where students can work on group projects, including group study rooms with large screen monitors, technology systems and writeable walls. The Grand Reading Room will serve as the library’s silent study area. The room is comprised of wood paneling, offering students a comfortable place to read and study in silence, Quinlivan said. The library will have a café, which will be overseen by Campus Dining & Shops. There

will also be two ﬂexible, high technology classrooms for workshops and study alcoves where groups of six to eight people can meet. “The Heart of the Campus project is transforming Silverman Library into an exciting, state-of-the art destination for UB students, faculty and staff,” said H. Austin Booth, vice provost for University Libraries. “With new group study spaces, expansive common areas and interactive technologies, Silverman will be a vibrant learning space where students meet, learn, study, think, reﬂect and create new knowledge to build the future.” Karen Senglaup, associate university librarian for Administration said UB Libraries have been planning this transformation for many

years and are “delighted that it’s happening.” Lockwood Memorial Library has served as UB’s only 24-hour library since the renovation of the third floor began in 2014. Other small-scale renovation projects are currently underway at the university, according to Della Contrada. Officials are working to replace the skylight, north stairs and entrance plaza at the Center for The Arts. Architects and contractors are also working within the Natural Sciences Complex to cut in the new corridor entrance and renovate existing lab spaces in rooms 405, 407 and 411. Pedestrian bridge and sidewalk repairs are currently underway in the Student Union‐Commons area and several halls across the university. Over on South Campus, Hayes Hall is currently in its final phase of restoration. The third and fourth floor of Michael Hall, which houses UB’s Student Health Center, will become dorm facilities for incoming freshmen in the fall. Senglaup said the newly renovated third floor of Silverman Library has “one truly distinctive feature” from other libraries on campus: it contains no books. “So many of our most important resources are now available online, thus freeing up much-needed space to create attractive, convenient, comfortable, secure places for students to contemplate, collaborate and create new knowledge,” she said. email: news@ubspectrum.com

THE SPECTRUM’S TOP 10 STORIES OF THE YEAR 1 2 3

“White Only,” “Black Only” art project causes controversy across UB campus

Ashley Powell, a graduate fine arts student, hung signs, which read “White Only” and “Black Only” around campus for an art class project in September 2015. Students were outraged, fearful and offended after these signs were discovered. After Powell, who is black, revealed that she hung the signs for a class project, UB students and administrators held conflicting opinions on whether the signs served as art or violated the safety of students. Members of the Black Student Union (BSU) held an open forum to discuss the incidents’ implications, held a peaceful protest outside of President Satish Tripathi’s annual State of the University Address and met with university officials in the months following the incident. Tripathi said a College of Arts and Sciences policy committee is working to develop a policy, which will contain clear guidelines on expressive art in public places on campus. An interim policy was announced in December 2015.

UB football player Solomon Jackson dies

UB football player Solomon Jackson died on Feb. 29 after suffering from a medical emergency during a team conditioning session a week earlier. Jackson was 20 years old. He was a redshirt sophomore defensive end and junior sociology major. UB never released Jackson’s cause of death, citing that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) prohibited them to release medical information of students. Jackson’s family also declined releasing his cause of death. UB Athletics held a private memorial service for Jackson on Feb. 25.

UB sends out roughly 5,000 erroneous acceptance emails to prospective students

UB mistakenly sent acceptance emails to 5,109 applicants in April. UB Spokesperson

ASHLEY INKUMSAH SENIOR NEWS EDITOR The Spectrum put together a list of the most talked-about news stories of the past year. Some of the most noteworthy headlines included the death of UB football player Solomon Jackson and the controversial “White Only” and “Black Only” art project.

John Della Contrada told The Spectrum the miscommunication occurred due to “human error” when an incorrect email list was generated from an applicant database. UB received over 25,000 applications this year. Della Contrada said UB’s Ofﬁce of Admissions contacted the prospective students after the incident to inform them on the status of their applications.

Bernie Sanders comes to UB

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders visited UB on April 11. Sanders’ rally attracted roughly 11,000 people. Over 8,000 people were able to get into Alumni Arena where the rally was held. Approximately 3,000 people stood outside in the rain, watching the rally from a television screen after the building reached its capacity. Students waited outside of Alumni Arena as early as 8 a.m., although the doors did not open until 4 p.m. Student Association (SA) sold 500 priority tickets to students earlier that morning. Tickets sold out in just 45 minutes.

UB student Daniel Hollnsteiner dies in kayaking accident while studying abroad

Daniel Hollnsteiner, a 21-year-old senior business major from Staten Island, died in a kayaking accident in New Zealand in September 2015. Hollnsteiner, who was studying abroad for a semester at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and 10 other students were on Lake Tekapo in New Zealand when their kayaks went into freezing water.

Hollnsteiner’s friends and family remember him as a loving and caring family man who loved the New York Yankees. They said he wasn’t always enthusiastic about sightseeing, which is why they were all happy to see him excited for his journey abroad.

Justin Moss expelled from UB

UB students disciplined for partying in University Heights neighborhood

Former senior forward and MidAmerican Conference (MAC) Player of the Year Justin Moss was expelled from UB last August after robbing a dorm room during the summer. Moss and his teammates Raheem Johnson and Mory Diane were caught stealing $650 from the South Lake Village apartment of two UB football players. Moss and his teammates were working in the building to replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

During the ﬁrst few weeks of the fall 2015 semester, 57 UB students were sent to Judicial Affairs for house parties and underage drinking in the University Heights neighborhood, located off of UB’s South Campus. Students were either suspended or required to do community service in the Heights, following party crackdowns from Buffalo Police. Residents continuously complained of the disturbance from parties in the neighborhood. UB students, faculty, ofﬁcials and the University Heights Collaborative began discussing solutions for problems in the Heights follow-

ing the incident.

Jeremy Jacobs gives UB its second-largest donation in history

Jeremy Jacobs, chairman of the UB Council and Delaware North, and his family gave UB its second-largest donation in the university’s history this past September. Jacobs’ family donated $30 million to UB’s new downtown medical school and the university renamed the school the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in honor of Jacobs. This is the ﬁrst time the university has ever named a school after someone.

Hundreds of Trump protestors fill he streets of Downtown Buffalo

While presidential candidate Bernie Sanders brought in 11,000 people and zero protests, Donald Trump brought in 11,000 people and safety concerns. UB students, faculty and Western New York residents ﬁlled Downtown Buffalo to protest Trump’s attendance at the First Niagara Center. Some students went to the Republican presidential candidate’s rally out of curiosity, but said they later found the violence to be unsettling as police dragged 21 protestors out of the arena.

College of Arts and Sciences dean steps down, nationwide search for new dean begins

In October 2015, College of Arts and Sciences dean E. Bruce Pitman announced he would step down after he completed his term to return to a full-time faculty role. Other UB faculty said this came as a result of an accelerated growth in STEM enrollment and a decrease enrollment in the arts. A nationwide search began in 2016 and after reviewing more than 50 “well-qualiﬁed” applicants, Robin G. Schulze was appointed dean.

UB students continue to study abroad despite potential risks UB Study Abroad monitors more than 70 of its to Turkey this year… Program directors play a signiﬁcant role in our program offerings. For locations around the world for student safety example, the program to Israel isn’t running SARAH CROWLEY ASST. NEWS EDITOR

Olga Crombie studied abroad in France just weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Her family and friends thought she was crazy for getting on the plane. Crombie, now the assistant director of UB’s study abroad programs said she remembers her year in France as being “life-changing.” “I had the most amazing year of my life studying abroad in France and had I let the terrorist attacks deter me from getting on a plane, it would have been the biggest regret of my life,” Crombie said. Both students and faculty widely acknowledge the beneﬁts of studying abroad. But safety concerns have grown since the Paris terror attacks in November 2015, which occurred while several UB students were studying there. Since the Paris attacks, UB has devised a system to locate and contact students studying abroad quickly. The program now collects email addresses in addition to emergency contacts in order to quickly communicate with all students’ guardians in case emergencies occur abroad, according to Crombie. Crombie said the SUNY study abroad programs are designed to take place in safe locations around the world. “If there were serious threats to the safety of our students, the program would be cancelled immediately and any students in that location would be forced to return home,” Crombie said. Students are required to attend a pre-departure orientation to prepare students for their programs abroad. Program directors are asked to create a program guide for students to cover impor-

tant information that is specific to the program’s location, such as cultural information, emergency numbers, weather, packing list and the program itself. Directors are also encouraged to attend pre-departure orientation and conduct breakout sessions following a presentation for students to obtain additional programspecific information before leaving. The study abroad office recently adjusted its winter 2017 program offerings after deciding to cancel the Turkey study abroad program as a result of “a multitude of factors,” according to Crombie. The program director for the Turkey study abroad program chose to cancel for personal reasons, so he could attend another trip in Italy, according to Crombie. She said study abroad plans to offer the Turkey program in 2018. “It’s possible that safety concerns were one of the factors that lead to the program director’s decision not to offer the winter program

this year due to the program director’s personal family matters, Germany is switching to summer for various reasons,” Crombie said. There are some safety risks that are out of students’ control, but Crombie said most of them are behavioral and “usually preventable. In September 2015, UB student Daniel Hollnsteiner, died in a kayaking accident while studying abroad in Melbourne, Australia. The accident occurred while Daniel was traveling in New Zealand, and it was not an activity through the program. Crombie said the security risks that are associated with studying abroad are generally no different from the security risks one takes when attending UB. “You are in an unfamiliar location and thus need to make a conscious effort,” she said. “Theft and danger while studying abroad is most commonly related to excessive drinking and that is something all students are encouraged to avoid.” The new UB curriculum explicitly includes study abroad as one of the three op-

UB students leave Buffalo to travel all over the world. According to NAFSA, over 50 percent of all students study abroad in Europe

tions to fulfill the new “Global Pathway” requirement. The other options include studying a foreign language or three courses on international or global focus, according to the UB website. Crombie said the accessibility and growing popularity of these programs are in part due to UB’s high number of exchange programs, which allow for a student to pay UB tuition at their overseas college. Chelsea Reinhardt, a first year graduate student studying English and health and human services, studied abroad in London in spring 2014. “Safety wasn’t a huge concern of mine, but it’s hard to generalize since there are so many programs,” Reinhardt said. Reinhardt said prior to the trip her program director handed out an information packet, which discussed safety and traveling details. Reinhardt was instructed by her program director to register with the State Department so that state officials could locate her in case of an emergency. Christopher Fancher, a senior double major in classics and business administration, studied abroad in Italy during the winter session in January 2015. He said his family expressed concern for his safety since they have never traveled to Europe. Fancher said he felt Italy was just as secure as the U.S. “The places my classes visited were typically large tourist areas, so there were law enforcement most places we went. Nothing I experienced lead me to believe that Italy is any less safe than the U.S.,” Fancher said. He plans to study abroad again in Australia next spring. Europe continues to be the most popular study abroad destination, both at UB and for American students generally, according to Crombie. She believes this trend will continue despite the year’s terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels. “We know that the world can be a scary place but that does not mean that we should be scared of the world,” Crombie said.

Schulze is “an expert in modernist American poetry, textual scholarship, editorial theory, and modernist literature and culture” and is widely recognized as “one of the world’s leading scholars of the poet Marianne Moore and her modernist peers,” according to Zukoski. Schulze has published four books and more than 20 articles. She has attained prestigious grants from the National Humanities Center and the American Philosophical Society. She is the president and an executive board member of the Society for Textual Scholarship. “Dr. Schulze emerged as the leading candidate as a result of her signiﬁcant leader-

ship experience, impressive scholarly accomplishments, creative energy, strong commitment to the liberal arts and sciences and proven ability to work with faculty to create and implement a shared vision,” Zukoski said. The other three finalists included: Tyrus Miller, the vice provost and dean of Graduate Studies at the University of California, Douglas Ulmer, a professor at the School of Mathematics at Georgia Institute of Technology, and Abbas Bennamoun, the vice provost for Faculty Affairs and Academic Policies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Shibley said the finalists came out of a “very elaborate search process,” after hiring the search firm Reynolds Russell Asso-

ciates, which specializes in higher education and worked with Dr. Jett Pihakis. There were 13 members of the “diverse” search committee with UB professors from the arts and sciences, according to Shibley. Pitman said he feels “pretty blue” about the change. Pitman started working at UB in 1989 and came as an assistant professor in mathematics. He said he’ll miss working with the alumni association the most. “UB is home,” Pitman said. “There are real friends here. They are more than just coworkers.” Pitman said he wasn’t going to stay forever as dean and noted that October was a convenient time to resign since it was the end of his term.

Pitman will be going back to his research and will be collaborating with professors in UB’s geology and mechanical engineering departments as well as with faculty at other schools, such as Duke University. Pitman said he would tell the new dean, “the most important thing is we have some really good people in the college” and to “get the most out of it.” “The way the demographics of students coming into the various programs are in a state of change,” Shibley said. “We’ve been looking for a leader who can understand and take part in leading what kind of changes need to occur in the College of Arts and Sciences.” email: news@ubspectrum.com

Making magic UB students experience ‘internship of a lifetime’ at Disney College Program HANNAH STEIN

SENIOR NEWS EDITOR

COURTESY OF STEPHANIE GAVIN

Stephanie Gavin took part in the Disney College Program as a paid intern. Now that the program is over, Gavin can’t picture her college career without it.

Stephanie Gavin was always a Disney fan growing up, but she didn’t expect to take a semester off from school to work at Walt Disney World. Gavin, a junior cultural anthropology major, was accepted to the Disney College Program and now that she has completed the program, she couldn’t picture her college career without it. The Disney College Program is a paid internship opportunity that offers optional academic credit. The program is offered four seasons throughout the year at Walt Disney

World in Florida or Disneyland in California. Thousands of students have completed this program since it debuted in 1981, according to a statement from Disney Campus Recruitment. All college students of any major who are at least 18 years old with at least a 2.0 GPA are eligible to apply. Recent graduates within the past six months are eligible to apply as well. Participating in the program means taking a leave of absence from UB. “The program really helped me ﬁnd out what I wanted out of my future employers and pointed me in the right direction when thinking about my future,” Gavin said.

Roughly 50,000 students apply each year and 5,000 to 6,000 applicants are accepted, according to Kelly Crowe, a senior human resources major with a concentration in business administration. Crowe said UB doesn’t really talk about it as a program, but she’s glad she found it. Disney Campus Recruitment said they regularly consult with an advisory board of college professors and administrators to ensure they “continue to meet the needs of today’s students and universities.” When Gavin visited Disney World in her junior year of high school, she met someone on the college program and she knew that was something she would want to do one day. Gavin said the application process was simple. It consisted of an online interest form and those who make it to the next round get a phone interview. Participants work in more than 20 different positions within Disney, which fall under the following categories: entertainment, lodging, food and beverage, retail and sales and recreation.

11 How

Wednesday, July 6, 2016

Gavin’s interactions with other people while working has allowed her to walk away with more than she would have imagined and can help her in any career path. “It’s a totally different working environment – it’s like nothing that I’ve ever worked in before,” Gavin said. Gavin said having to adjust to “high corporation standards” was her biggest challenge. She said she had to attain the “Disney look” and that “it’s not just how you project yourself but how you project the company over it.” For recent UB graduate Maia Pidsadnick, this program is her ﬁrst time away from home. Pidsadnick said she thought the program would be a good way to transition to being independent and living on her own. She works in entertainment at Disney World and sees her future there. She houses near the resort and ﬁnds her own transportation to work. “I thought it would be fun to do an internship where I can bring so much joy to people and do something that I love,” Pidsadnick said.

Both Crowe and Pidsadnick chose to do the Fall Advantage Internship, which runs from May to January. “I thought it would be a good step into my ﬁeld to see if I like working with people in that predicament,” Crowe said. The program offers classes for optional academic credit or for students like Crowe who aren’t taking the program for credit. Some of the courses offered are corporate communication, creativity and innovation, leadership and communication. Crowe said she felt very prepared to apply to the program because of her involvement with UB’s Student Association and being a residential adviser at UB. “It’s intimidating to apply knowing that there’s so many people applying, but the fact that if you do get in, you’re one of the 10 percent that do,” Crowe said. “If you really are dedicated, you should go out and try.”

In addition to its incredible food, the Bazaar supports the local immigrant population in an area that absolutely deserves it. For these reasons, I plant the flag of “Best Thai in Buffalo” at the West Side Bazaar’s doorstep. You won’t find better Thai for a better price. I tentatively hold the flag for “Best Food for Less Than $10” above these historic, hallowed grounds. But this suburban kid needs more experience with Buffalo’s cuisine before that flag is firmly planted.

Student Association President Matt Rivera wants to hear students’ stories

Rivera aims to usher in a more professional, student-involved era SARAH CROWLEY ASST. NEWS EDITOR

When Matt Rivera was growing up, he and his family had been struggling to ﬁnd the “time, patience and work that a military family needs.” This struggle drove them apart. Rivera’s mother, stepfather and sister had all served in the military. After living in Germany almost his entire life, Rivera, a senior music theatre major, left on a plane to New York City three days after his high school graduation, leaving his family behind. When Rivera arrived in New York, he interned at the Ali Forney Center, a nonproﬁt that houses homeless LGBT youth. As an intern, he said he learned the value of listening to others’ stories – a skill he hopes will help him as he takes over as UB’s Student Association (SA) president this upcoming school year. Rivera was elected SA president in April after his party received roughly 70 percent of student votes. SA serves to represent UB’s student body and has a $4 million budget, which is collected from student funds through the mandatory student activity fee of $104.75 per semester. But his time before coming to UB will have the greatest impact on how he decides to run SA. Rivera said while working at the Ali Forney Center, he focused his energy on helping others. He used his background with event planning and his passion and enthusiasm to distract from the struggle of his family being split apart. “I met people who had to leave school and go back in their 30s, mothers who had lost their children, other people who were

torn away from their families in their younger years,” he said. Rivera said at that time, he was looking for a reason to go to school, despite not having his family around. It was a possibility, but it wasn’t deﬁnite. His mother and stepfather were in Germany. His biological father and stepmother were in New Jersey, but he didn’t see them or speak to them often. He then saw the chances of him attending a four-year university strengthen after hearing similar stories from other people who went to school.

LIBERTY YELLOW

He decided to come to Buffalo with these stories as an inspiration. Rivera worked with UB Academies before being elected SA president. He also served as a resident adviser, Western New York Prosperity Fellow and SA’s director of Student Affairs. He said his new life has been a challenge, but a healthy one. “The best advice I can give to someone coming to the university is to just do, do anything – it might not be something to put on your resume but who cares, just get involved with anything and the personal value it will

bring to you will be priceless,” Rivera said. Rivera said listening to others’ stories has been a defining lesson for him and it is part of how he plans to use his position as SA president to further a message of equality. He ultimately wants people to change the way they interact with those around them. “Basic communication, talking and listening is so important to this idea of equality,” he said. “If you take the time to listen to a hateful message, that is valuable, because that person will then be more willing to listen to you.” Silvana D’Ettore, a first year UB graduate student who is friends with Rivera, said his greatest strengths draw from his ability to listen to others, even if he doesn’t agree with them. With this mentality, he wants to draw the student body closer by emphasizing their differences. “[Rivera] would like to have more diversity within SA in terms of ethnicity, race and sexual orientation because the Student Association should accurately represent the entire student body,” D’Ettore said in an email. “I know Matt will strive to make changes while listening to the opinions of the students.” Rivera said while he is “very much into the idea of equality,” he will not push it on students. Instead, he believes conversation and hearing from where other people are coming from are the only ways to challenge prejudice. “We call people racist, we call people homophobic, and while yeah, those are real life, dictionary terms, they should not be the first words to come out of someone’s mouth when they hear a hateful message,” Rivera said. Part of his plan to make SA more inclusive includes a more extensive involvement with the international student body, something going beyond the traditional orientation. Hadar Borden, an administrative director in UB Academies, has known Matt since he was a freshman. She believes his inclusive nature and his desire to “pull others with him” makes him an ideal leader. “[Rivera’s] experiences, his travels and just the way he’s embraced opportunities here at the university, give him an incredibly thoughtful perspective… he’s always looking out for others,” Borden said. email: news@ubspectrum.com

How Bazaar? A look into the West Side Bazaar and best Thai food in Buffalo

TYLER WALTERS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The West Side Bazaar, located at 25 Grant

Street at the corner of West Ferry exists as a singularity in the Buffalo community. This melting-pot of a fast-food joint was started as a way to promote the West side’s increasing immigrant population. Ethiopian, Indian halal, Laos, Jamaican, Burmese and Thai stands reside at the Bazaar, a United Nations of cuisine. How did the Queen City’s Westside become home to such an ethnically diverse population? The City of Buffalo’s growth came to a screeching halt after WWII. The Saint Lawrence Seaway allowed freighters direct access to the Atlantic Ocean, bypassing Buffalo’s once thriving ports. The increased accessibility to the automobile created a suburban boom as people could work in the city, but live in the

‘burbs. The expressways and highways that supported this new American Dream physically and racially skewered the city. In the face of sudden and drastic economic changes, what is a city to do? Victorian homes of the West side were demolished and low-income housing took their place. Former Italian inhabitants transplanted to the upand-coming Hertel Avenue region while poor immigrants rushed to fill these new projects. The West side festered like an open wound for decades as drugs, crime and poverty had their way with the once vibrant area. In the early 2000s, Buffalo surpassed New York City as the leading destination for immigrants. Because of its low-income housing, the West side became home to many of these new Americans. The West side continued to turn around as Buffalo State College and D’Youville invested in its neighborhoods and small businesses. Today, bars and restaurants fill Buffalo’s increasingly gentrified West side: Providence Social, Left Bank, Sweetness 7, Fivepoints Bakery. The West Side Bazaar is not hip. It is not cool. Your “foodie” photos are not going to attract admiration from friends and family.

However, its lack of visual stimulation is more than surpassed by its gustatory pleasures. My search for Buffalo’s most authentic Thai cuisine resumed at the Bazaar’s Family Thai, operated by Pah Du, a Burmese immigrant. I ordered the Kaeng Khiao Wan (green curry, $7) and the Pad Ped (spicy chicken, $7) from Family Thai’s numerous offerings. The soupy green curry tasted better than my experiences with it Phuket and far better than the Thai curries that I’ve had Stateside. The creamy, sweet and spicy curry felt like liquid silk with a kick, while the green cherry tomatoes, green beans and red peppers offered a satisfying crunch. The red curry in the Pad Ped was far spicier, and had the traditional blend of garlic, peppers, fish sauce and holy basil that I came to love in Bangkok. In both instances, the chicken was cooked to tender perfection. These are the first Thai dishes that I’ve had since I left Thailand last summer in which no flavor was overbearing or lacking. Succinctly, both dishes were perfect. The authenticity of Family Thai is unquestionable and nothing on their menu costs more than $8. CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

The hustle and bustle of the uprising Buffalo movie scene Buffalo becomes a hotspot for major motion pictures to film MAX KALNITZ SENIOR ARTS EDITOR

After nearly 18 hours of shooting and reshooting, the set of “Marshall” broke down their production rigs and director’s tents to move from the quiet suburbs of Buffalo’s historic Parkside community to continue filming in Downtown Buffalo. Due to Buffalo’s slew of historic landmarks and old Victorian homes, the film’s setting fits perfectly with Buffalo’s landscape. But it isn’t the only major movie that has been filmed in Buffalo. In May 2015, the opening scene from the second “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie was filmed on the Kensington Expressway. The fourto-five-minute opening scene also took up a majority of the movie’s trailer. Because of the Turtle’s popularity and the warm welcoming crew members received from the city of Buffalo, other major film companies are now turning to Buffalo as a prime location to film big budget movies. “Marshall,” starring Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad, Kate Hudson and other A-list actors, takes place in Connecticut in the early 1940s and tells the story of the United States’ first black Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall. Producer Jonathan Sanger concluded that even though the film takes place in Connecticut, Buffalo was the perfect place to shoot the film. “Normally for independent films like these we look for places to film where we can get a benefit from the economy locally and New York has been very, very favorable to motion pictures in the state and particularly beneficial to movies that film upstate,” Sanger said. All local residencies that were used for either interior or exterior shots for the film were paid. Several companies involved with

MAX KALNITZ, THE SPECTRUM

In early June, Russel Street in North Buffalo was filled with props and costumes during the filming of “Marshall.”

moving and making props and painting were all hired locally. In April, local news stations said the producers would be hiring local actors to play all the background parts in the film. There was an online application process and a group of Buffalonians were selected to play protestors and street-goers for the film. Sanger also commented on why Buffalo beat out other cities across the U.S. when it came down to picking a filming location. “I have to say, we scouted a number of different cities and different parts of the country and Buffalo was just head and shoulders above anything else we saw for a number of reasons,” Sanger said. “One, the locations were terrific, this is a period movie that’s set in 1941 and we found the older houses and buildings and architecture here in Buffalo, which was pretty amazing” Sanger said the team was able to find about 75 percent of the locations for the film in two days, which made them feel “confident” that Buffalo was the ideal spot. “Marshall” is being completely filmed in

Buffalo and other parts of Western New York. All the court scenes were filmed at the Dillon Courthouse in Downtown Buffalo and other scenes were shot at Niagara Fall’s LaSalle Public Library. Film crews painted the second floor of the library to look like Marshall’s offices. They repainted the whole second floor after shooting to restore the office to its previous condition. They also filmed in the jail cells in the basement of the library. From as early as 6 a.m., Russel Street in North Buffalo was filled curb to curb with 18 wheelers filled with props and costumes, old fashion cars, dozens of cameras and A-list actors. Joan Baizer, a professor of physiology at UB, said it was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have her house used in a major motion picture like “Marshall.” “I had some idea about how massive the operation was so I understood what it would be like, but it’s totally different to experience because your home is just completely taken over,” Baizer said. The interior of her house was used for

a series of shots for the film. They filmed almost exclusively in the living room and foyer of the house and the set up prior to shooting was extensive. “It was extremely invasive and destructive, which I knew it would be… They went through the house on Tuesday and Wednesday and took pictures of basically every room in the house,” Baizer said. “The people who were in charge of determining what the sets looked like went through those pictures and crossed out everything they didn’t want in the background.” Baizer’s furniture was wrapped and stored in her garage. She said the process was “exhausting.” Although the experience was tiring, Baizer was happy that her house was used during the film and found a new appreciation for the “behind the scenes magic” that ties together a film. Being able to meet the actors and see how much they go through just to film a two-tothree-minute scene is something many people never get see first hand. “What was most interesting to me is that they would do about a three-minute scene in about ten takes, then the director would say “reset” and the crew would change camera lenses and the angle that they were filming at and do it all over again until they found the right angle that they needed,” Sanger said. The production crew couldn’t tell exactly where they were going to film and at what angle to film at based off the picture taken of her home. So once they got there and prepped the house for filming, the cast reshot many scenes until they found the prefect shot to keep for the movie. Some exterior shots were filmed at other houses across the street on Russel Street that had a more appealing exterior before they moved downtown to shoot the courtroom scenes. The court scene is the climax of the film and provides a little bit of thrill for viewers. The scenes shot in and outside of the court were very intense and required lots of background actors to play protestors and jury members. CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

Jess Tropp, a Buffalo native, played one of the protestors outside the courtroom and although she’s not an actor, she said the opportunity was just too good to pass up. “There was an ad in [The Buffalo News] saying the movie was looking for extras,” Tropp said. “I emailed them my information, measurements and a full body shot, thinking I probably wouldn’t get a call back. I got a call the next day asking for me to come in for a fitting and asking me to be an extra for several days of filming.” Tropp was on set for at least two full days of shooting, working all day alongside all the main stars of the movie. “The main celebs [Josh Gad and Chadwick Boseman] were there both days and I got to work up close with both of them in the shots,” Tropp said. “Also the producers were great and fun to work with as well. You can tell they enjoy their work and have fun doing it.” When asked if she would try acting again, Tropp said that if the opportunity presented itself she would consider it. She learned that it’s tough, tedious work with rough, unpredictable hours. Her biggest take away getting to see the making of a movie and all the efforts that go into it. Although “Marshall” is an independent film, it is being distributed domestically through Open Road who distributed last years Academy Award winning film “Spotlight” and Sony is distributing it internationally. For local residents who got to see the filming it was an experience usually only seen in Los Angeles or New York City. Local students also thought it was a good change of pace for Buffalo. Junye Ma, a sophomore phycology and linguistics major, said he thinks it’s a great step forward for Buffalo. Coming from someone that grew up only a few short hours away from Los Angeles, he thought it was nice that a big film like “Marshall” was coming to a town like Buffalo instead of one of the

usual filming spots. “It’s really cool. As far as I know there aren’t too many exciting events going on in Buffalo,” Ma said. “The director of the movie must have seen something nice in Buffalo and decided to shoot the movie here. More people can get a better idea of our city through this movie if it contains good views of Buffalo and its beautiful scenery and architecture.” Movies aren’t the only thing being filmed in Buffalo. Hometown rock band The Goo Goo Dolls just released their latest single “So Alive” featuring a brand new music video filmed in Buffalo. The video was shot in Buffalo’s Central Terminal in late April, and all crew members and cast were local Buffalo citizens. email: arts@ubspectrum.com

A guide to navigating concerts and events this summer CONTINUED FROM PAGE 21

Wednesday, Aug. 3 O.A.R at Artpark Legendary 90s and 2000s rock band O.A.R visits Lewiston for the promotion of their new album “XX.” The band has been around since 1996 and the album marks their 20 years going strong and rocking on. The O.A.R members have also gained recognition for their charitable efforts as they held countless fundraisers and even performed at the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2015 Special Olympics. Thursday, Aug. 18 T-Pain at Canalside Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist TPain will visit Buffalo’s Canalside in replacement of rapper Coolio, who had to cancel his scheduled performance. The self-proclaimed “rapper turnt sanga” will be performing his vast catalogue of hits for his Buffalo fans. His distinctive auto-tuned crooning will deﬁnitely bring the masses out to the canal on that day. T-Pain has been relevant and a pioneer in hip-hop music for over a decade. At only age 30 T-Pain should also have a very lively exuberant

performance as he sings all of his hits. Saturday, Aug. 27 Kanye West at First Niagara Center Kanye West’s Saint Pablo Tour comes just after his latest The Life of Pablo album, which made history as the ﬁrst album to debut at the top Billboard 200 album chart based on streaming alone, according to Tidal. This is one of the most anticipated concerts of the

year and has made headlines everywhere. This will be Yeezy’s ﬁrst American tour in three years and Buffalo is thankfully his second stop. His 2013 Yeezus Tour brought sold-out crowds, so this concert will be one you don’t want to miss, especially since it’s the weekend right before the semester begins.

UB top 10 moments in UB Athletics from 2015-16 school year MICHAEL AKELSON SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR 1. UB men’s and women’s basketball win MAC Tournaments March 12, 2016 will go down as the greatest day in the history of UB Athletics. Just hours apart, on the same floor at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, both the men’s and women’s basketball teams capped off Cinderella runs through the MAC Tournament with buzzer beaters that landed both in the NCAA Tournament. First, the women’s team, a No. 8 seed going into the MAC Tournament, shocked No. 2 seed Central Michigan with a walk-off floater from sophomore point guard Stephanie Reid as the clock struck zero in overtime. Next, the men’s team, coming off a season in which they lost their head coach and two best players, and had their new head coach see his wife diagnosed with Cancer just before the season, pulled off a shocking repeat performance. Junior wing Blake Hamilton hit a last-second three-pointer against Akron, just hours after Reid’s buzzer beater, to send the Bulls dancing yet again. 2. Athletic Director Danny White leaves, Allen Greene takes over In a move that always seemed like it was only a matter of time, young, ambitious Athletic Director Danny White left Buffalo after three years on Nov. 17 to accept a job at the University of Central Florida, a larger school with a larger athletic budget. White’s most controversial move in his mostly successful tenure at Buffalo was the “New York Bulls Initiative (NYBI),” which essentially set out to re-brand UB as the “University of New York.” Jerseys prominently featured the words New York, rather than Buffalo. Exactly one week after Green’s departure was announced, former deputy director of athletics Allen Greene was promoted to take his spot. It was a mostly uneventful rest of the year for Greene in terms of coaching hires. Not a single coach resigned or was fired this year. Greene’s biggest move, however, came earlier this year when he announced NYBI, often unpopular locally, would be no more. 3. Justin Moss dismissed from

basketball team and expelled In a shocking summer development, reigning MAC Player of the Year and rising senior Justin Moss was caught stealing money from a dorm room on June 2 along with teammates Mory Diane and Raheem Johnson. The burglary was Moss’ second offense at Buffalo, and the university would have no reservations in it’s punishment of Moss, despite the fact he was considered to be the number one contributor on Buffalo’s 2015 MAC Championship team, and was expected to carry an even bigger load after head coach Bobby Hurley and star guard Shannon Evans bolted for Arizona State University. Moss was dismissed from the basketball team and expelled in August, while Diane and Johnson were allowed to return to both classes and the basketball team since it was both of their first offenses. Moss now plays in the National Basketball League of Canada. 4. Mike Kaelin goes in 15th round of MLB draft Cheektowaga native Mike Kaelin took the closer role for Buffalo last season as a sophomore and has seemed destined for professional baseball ever since. From day one, he took the pressure in stride, flashing poise on the mound that was every bit as impressive as his stuff. Just 5-foot-9-inches, Kaelin’s fastball sits in the low 90s (MPH), and sometimes touches as high as the mid-90s. Combine that with a hammer curve and great control, and you can see why he has so often left the rest of the MAC looking overmatched in his three-year career. 5. Russell Cicerone’s gamewinner sends soccer to MAC Championship game On Nov. 13, one day after being named the MAC Player of the Year and less than two weeks after hitting a highlight reel goal to send UB to the MAC Championship, Russell Cicerone outdid himself yet again. In what he would later call “the biggest moment” of his career, a career which includes 10 game-winning goals in his three years at Buffalo, Cicerone ripped a 35-yard missile into the back of the net, sending Buffalo to its first MAC Championship game in nearly a decade and sending Western Michigan, a school Cicerone was once committed to, packing.

6. Megan Burns domination Sophomore swimmer Megan Burns continued her incredible career this year, winning three events – the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, and 800 freestyle relay – at MAC Championships. For the 50 free and 100 free, she advanced all the way to NCAA Championships. Two seasons into her career, Burns has incredibly never lost in the 50 free or 100 free at a conference meet. 7. Licata, Kling, Weiser sign NFL contracts Buffalo’s three year streak of having a player selected in the NFL Draft may have been snapped this year, but several players were still signed as undrafted free agents or given training camp invites. Offensive lineman John Kling signed with the Chicago Bears, while tight end Matt Weiser signed with the San Diego Chargers. Quarterback Joe Licata was given a training

camp invite with the Buffalo Bills and later signed with the Cincinnati Bengals after being cut by the Bills. Cornerback Marqus Baker also received a training camp invite from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 8. UB ice hockey wins NCHA Championship Just four years after being created, UB’s hockey team, which competes in Division III, took home a National Collegiate Hockey Association Championship on the back of several seniors who had once helped bring the team to Buffalo. Lost in the shufﬂe among all the great moments UB Athletics saw in March, the Bulls tore off an impressive 4-2 victory of Penn State in the Championship in Newark, Ohio, one they hope will be the beginning of something big. 9.

Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams come together for a group photo during a rally in the Student Union. Both teams won their respective Mid-American Championships in March and made NCAA Tournament appearances.

At the MAC Indoor Conference Championships on Feb. 26 and 27 at the Akron Field House in Akron, Ohio, a pair of unlikely champions rose for Buffalo. Two seniors and good friends who had underachieved for the ﬁrst three years of their careers, both Johnson and White ﬁnally came full circle in their last career indoor meet. Both broke Buffalo’s 60-meter dash record for their respective gender earlier in the season, but it would have meant little if they didn’t show up when it mattered most. 10.

UB women’s soccer season preview COREY KLINO SPORTS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Just two years removed from a MidAmerican Conference Championship, UB women’s soccer faces a unique dilemma. Following the graduation of All-MAC first-teamers Jackie Hall and Kassidy Kidd, Buffalo remains talented and experienced, but in search of new leadership on the field. Head coach Shawn Burke is looking for a variety of different players to step up and pick up the slack together, beginning with sophomore forward Carissima Cutrona, who has been named a captain for this upcoming season. “Going into this season I think I’m going to try to step up more as a leader,” Cutrona said. “A unique thing about our team is that there aren’t just a couple leaders on the team. Everyone brings something to the table.” Coming off a MAC Championship semifinal loss and 11-7-3 (7-3-1 MAC) record last season, Buffalo is looking to fight its way back to the top of the conference on the back of several players head coach Shawn Burke hopes to see take a leap this year. Following a spring season, in which they went 5-0-3, while giving several young players significant playing time, Burke is hoping the

performance will carry over to this fall. One thing Burke is confident in is his goalkeeper. Going into her junior season, Laura Dougall hopes to continue her stellar career. Dougall has been a key starter on the Bulls since her freshman year, and even though she seems pretty secure in her role as the starting goalie, Burke is impressed with the way she pushes herself in practice, continuing to always play as if she’s fighting for playing time. “She understands she can’t let her position waver and I think that pushes her every day,” Burke said. “We have a more than capable backup in Cassie [Betancourt] who we know could step into a game and be ready as well.” This past spring break, the team took a seven-day trip to Spain, which included two games and much team bonding. Burke feels his players learned a lot from the trip and he said the defining moment came after his team tied Villarreal 1-1. After the final whistle, Buffalo players were exchanging jerseys with Villarreal players as is tradition and Burke said that was really the culmination of the benefits from the trip. “That was when I think playing in stadiums and fully embracing the culture over there helped the girls appreciate that moment,”

Following graduation of key seniors, everyone plays with something to prove Burke said. “It made them realize they are special in a way I think, and that soccer had gotten them to that point in their careers.” As far as offseason conditioning goes, Burke keeps in touch here and there with his players but mostly trusts them to know they need to keep in shape. Burke believes they know that they are too good as a team to not take pride in that and he feels certain they will put in the work. Many players put in time with summer leagues on club teams, but Cutrona said she plans on using other ways to keep her body in soccer shape this year without putting in as much time as a summer soccer league requires. “A lot of girls on our team do play on summer teams, there are summer leagues all over the country that you can play on,” Cutrona said. “There’s also strength and conditioning programs that girls do, and we’re just really trying to stay in soccer shape so we can pick right up where we left off in the spring season.” In April, Burke said there were some “question marks” going into the fall, but those have since been answered now that he has looked back at the results of their spring season. Two of those questions were center back and outside back – positions he saw senior Angel Hart and soph-

omore Nicole Gerritz fill in well this spring. Asked who he saw as having the best touch on the ball, Burke talked up junior midfielders Julia Benati and Moira Petrie. Incoming freshmen are also a part of what makes Burke look forward to the fall. Freshmen Gurjeena Jandu from nearby Mississauga, Ontario and Mairead Martin of Mahopac, New York are both examples of local players expected to make an impact playing defense in the backfield for the Bulls this fall. Adrianna VanCuyck, Kara Daly and transfer Kailin Regan are examples of arriving players who Burke was able to see play well with the local Empire Revolution Club, where a number of other former players have gained experience before coming to UB. Burke said club backgrounds are valuable to him when scouting, as high school stats can be skewed from the variance of competition and clubs typically require a higher skill level. email: sports@ubspectrum.com
