“Light the Night” Begins Social Justice Week The Girls Next Door Perform at ICCA Semifi nals

By ZACHARY OLSAVICKYNews Editor

Social Justice Week offi cially commenced on Sunday with a theme of creating light in dark-ness, as students took to the cam-pus green for a candlelight vigil. The ceremony, which faculty or-ganizer Joan Horgan described as a “simple” way to inspire people and bring them together, marks the start of a week that features around 25 events geared towards raising awareness of injustices around the world.

The vigil, which lasted for al-

most half an hour, drew nearly 100 students around a portion of the campus green in front of the Hubbard Interfaith Sanctuary.

A group of percussionists pre-luded the event with music, and the Golden Notes opened the ceremony with a performance of the Marty Haugen hymn “Who Will Sing,” as students passed fl ames from candle to candle. Organizers then began a demon-stration which aimed to give stu-dents a nuanced perspective on their material possessions. Each student held a card representing things like access to food and

clean drinking water. Follow-ing a performance of Coldplay’s “Fix You” by the Golden Notes, students gave readings from the works of humanitarians Amy Maddox, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Riane Eisler, and Paul Hop-kin. The ceremony concluded with another performance by the Golden Notes, singing Friends for Change’s “Send it On.”

“The turnout was great,” said student organizer Lauren Kalb-fell. “We’re really excited (about it).” Kalbfell, a senior, became in-

Complex choreography, beat-box solos, and a cappella rendi-tions of Gavin DeGraw’s “Not Over You,” Christina Perri’s “Jar of Hearts,” and “This Love” by Maroon 5 were all part of the per-formances Saturday night during the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA) Northeast Regional Semifi nals. When Saint Rose a cappella troupe the Girls Next Door took the stage at the Kresge Audito-

rium on the campus of the Massa-chusetts Institute of Technology campus the auditorium was fi lled by the voices of the only all fe-male a cappella group to perform that night.

Of the eight judged perfor-mances, the Girls Next Door performed third. “It was an at-mosphere of nervousness,” said freshman member Elizabeth Tryon, speaking about her feel-ings prior to walking on stage. “But (...) we were just ready to

Corrections

In the article entitled “15 Minutes Max: The Saint Rose Music Festival” pub-lished in the previous issue of this publication the names of the people performing in the short video “The Red Pill” were switched. The correct arrangement was that Jon Ferguson portrayed Neo, and Luke Novko portrayed Morpheus, both characters from The Matrix, although neither character was explicitly stated as hailing from that movie.

Occasionally typographical errors occur in this publication. Although these are usually benign, they occasionally concern important persons or events. In the blurb entitled “Panel Discussion on Humanity’s Relation to Technology” published in last week’s issue the names of Rudy Nydegger and Michael Janairo were misspelled.


A house party led to arrests early last Sunday morning on allegations of serving alcohol to minors, according to Albany Po-lice spokesperson Jim Miller.

A large fi ght in front of the residence at 442 Morris Street led to police being called in at around 3:45 in the morning. The fi ght ended by the time offi cers arrived, but they noticed a fi ght on the second fl oor where a party

was being held. Initial attempts by the offi cers to investigate were denied when residents locked their doors, but second fl oor resi-dent Samuel Hellman eventually answered the door. At that point, 23 year old Travis Klimek at-tempted to shut the door on po-lice and his girlfriend, 20 year old Theresa Fuoto, exited the build-ing and yelled at the offi cers.

The offi cers entered the build-ing and broke up the party, but noticed several individuals drink-ing beer that they suspected of

being underage. Offi cers deter-mined the individuals to be un-derage following interviews.

Hellman and Fuoto were charged with Unlawfully Dealing with a Child in the First Degree and ticketed for Unnecessary and Unusual Noise under the General City Ordinance. Klimek was ar-rested and charged with Obstruc-tion of Governmental Adminis-tration in the Second Degree.

All three were arraigned last Monday morning in Albany City Criminal Court.

Underage Drinking Leads to Arrests

Student Musical to Premiere FridayBy REGINA IANNIZZOTTO

A new musical is debuting this weekend at the College of Saint Rose.

“Roger That! The Sleuthsical” tells the story of dueling detec-tive agencies, the Roger Rog-ers Detective Agency and the Super Sleuthing Squad, which are in a race to solve the murder of circus performer Zerlic G. Dickens. Written by junior com-

munications major John Mac-Donald, the musical stars Jessica Lamoureaux, Tess Leavay and MacDonald.

“Roger That!” was conceived in the summer of 2011, and re-hearsals have been ongoing throughout the spring semester. MacDonald described the music as having a “show tunes vibe,” which he described as a shift from his previous use of “pop-oriented” music.

Literary Criticism, Poetry Topics of Upcoming Speakers


A pair of events are being host-ed by the English department this week.

On Tuesday, a visiting scholar will be presenting his paper on new media and writing. Dr. Sean Latham, who is the 2012 English Department Visiting Scholar, will present “New Media, New Mod-ernisms: Magazines and Digi-tal Theory,” at 6:30 p.m. in the Carondelet Symposium in the Lally building. Latham is an Eng-lish professor at the University of

Tulsa and edits the James Joyce Quarterly, co-edits the Journal of Modern Periodical Studies, and co-directs the Modernist Jour-nals Project. Latham earned his bachelor’s degree at Swarthmore College and earned his master’s and doctoral degrees at Brown University.

On Thursday, the Frequency North visiting writers reading se-ries will come to a close with a discussion hosted by a pair of po-ets. Georgia A. Popoff, a faculty member at the Syracuse Down-town Writers Center and manag-ing editor of the Comstock Re-

Performances of “Roger That!” will run March 30 and 31 in Saint Joseph’s Auditorium. The show runs for approximately an hour and forty-fi ve minutes with a fi fteen-minute intermission, of which MacDonald claims an hour will be music alone. Admission is free, with donations being ac-cepted at the door for Relay For Life.

view, and Quraysh Ali Lansana, an associate professor of English and director of the Gwendolyn Brooks Center for Black Litera-ture and Creative Writing at Chi-cago State University will discuss how they use poetry inside the classroom and within the com-munity.

The discussion, which will include readings by the authors, is set for Thursday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. in Saint Joseph’s Au-ditorium. The program is being hosted as part of Social Justice Week and will be free to the pub-lic.

volved with Social Justice Week during her freshman year through working at the Office of Spiritual Life. “I’ve always been helping to plan this and it’s always been a great, awesome thing to get in-volved in.” She said the event set an “exciting” tone for the week, adding that the vigil “definitely indicates that there’s campus in-volvement—that students are in-terested.”

The week received an unoffi-cial start on Saturday night with Super Saint Rose Market Sweep, at which students raised $285 worth of items to be donated to local food pantries. Upcoming events include a pair of Iranian doctors who will speak on Tues-day, an ‘Inequality Monopoly’ game on Tuesday in the Standish dining rooms, and the $2-a-day challenge on Wednesday in the main lounge. Both Horgan and Kalbfell also expressed excite-ment about a Monday event on refugees, an “experiential” event where students can “walk through some of the parts of their lives.” Horgan stressed student involve-ment as a central component of the week’s events. “(Students)

can really feel like, ‘Oh wow, this is what (people) go through,’ so you get a little different (experi-ence), a felt sense instead of a words-coming-at-you or a pow-erpoint,” said Horgan.

Horgan expressed optimism about the week of events, say-ing that she hopes it will inspire people to work towards making change. “There’s world hunger, big poverty issues, issues of rac-ism and sexism, you’re not gonna be like, ‘Oh, well we made them all better, at the end of the week.’ But there is something about see-ing light in darkness that makes you know it’s often a small com-munity of people that come to-gether to change something.

Jaired Crofut, a junior at the college, said that he was most looking forward to Monday’s free trade chocolate tasting, add-ing that, “free trade is something we need a lot more of.” He also expressed optimism about what the turnout says about student in-terest: “If you look at history, it’s only going to continue unless we work to change it. I think the fact that everyone was here tonight shows that people care, and car-ing is where it starts.”

Horgan said she was “really

pleased” with the turnout, which exceeded her expectations for the event. “We’ve been planning the whole week of events since last year about this time and the idea for the opening ceremony came from one of the faculty (who) suggested that we do that as a kind of kickoff to make it an offi-

cial beginning to the week.” Hor-gan added that she saw a “huge difference” in levels of interest from last year, and credited it to increased commitment from students, faculty, and classes. “I think it does have a little bit of that quality to it, that it’s added to each year, that people heard

about it or maybe a club wants to be part of it or another group of students say, “oh, I want to do something—can we get in on it?”

“There’s been an intention to try to grow it, so it’s not just a small group of people doing a lot of things. Hopefully, the rest of the week will say something

go out there and show everyone what we’ve been working so hard towards.”

Teammate Alex Koulorio-tis felt similarly: “I was feeling pretty good, a little nervous as we were downstairs waiting, but then as we walked out I was like ‘You know what? We’re just go-ing to do it.’” said Kouloriotis. “We went into it with the mind-set (that): We’ve got this far; this is the first time we’ve done this competition; we’ve never (per-formed at the ICCA’s) before; we are the only all-female a cappella group here; we’re going to have fun and we’re going to do the best we can.”

Performing a set similar to that they sang at the quarterfinals, the Girls Next Door opened with their version of the Kansas song “Carry on Wayward Son.” Part-way through the black and pink clad group offered a shout-out to the hosts, the only performers to do so. In contrast to the quick moving first number, the troupe then moved into a slower Sara Barielles’ song, “City,” for their second.

“I had this out-of-body experi-ence where I was just singing and was disconnected from the sing-ing. I felt like I was watching us perform it,” said Tryon, about her experience on stage.

The Girls Next Door con-cluded their set with a version of “Turning Tables,” by Adele, which, as at the Boston Univer-

The Girls Next Door at ICCA Semifinals (cont.)sity quarterfinal, found member Mackenzie Cohn again filling the auditorium with her passion-ate voice. While the other mem-bers stood still behind her singing the backing vocals, Cohn gently swayed while her powerful voice filled the ears of the nearly 1000 audience members. Although Cohn did not win an award for the solo, as she did during the quarterfinals, Mackenzie’s friend Sarah Taub was still very willing to lend it praise: “My favorite (of the set) is ‘Turning Tables.’ You can understand why.”

The judged performances, which included performances by the all-male Maine Steiners, of the University of Maine at Oro-no, and Tunes. Beats. Awesome., of the University of Toronto, was bookended by performances from Resonance, the hosting a cappella group from MIT. As is custom-ary, Resonance performed a slew of songs after the judged perfor-mances in order to give the judg-es time to deliberate. After the MIT students ran through their set the two hosts moved the event onto what is known, in a cappella circles, as a ‘perc-off,’ or a vocal percussion competition.

“I was secretly hoping it wasn’t going to happen,” said Kouloriotis, beatbox for the Girls Next Door. “As soon as I saw Jeff (Jeff Magee, the beatbox for Tunes. Beats. Awesome.) stand-ing on stage by himself without the rest of T.B.A. I was like ‘Here it comes!’”

Kouloriotis was one of the ten

or so beatboxers onstage who performed improvised solo ef-forts for the benefit of the audi-ence and, perhaps, to show off talent. According to many of the fans Kouloriotis held her own amongst the talent onstage, and did the troupe proud. She was only female beatboxer in the competition.

The Girls Next Door chartered a bus for the event and invited all of their friends, fans, and anyone else to accompany them to Bos-ton and support them during the competition.

Although the purpose of the trip, for members and fans, was the competition, both had the opportunity to explore the local business district along Massa-chusetts Avenue. Whether din-ing at nearby sushi bar Thelonius Monkfish or browsing the sales racks at Cheapo Records many on the trip occupied themselves with a variety of activities. Cohn and her friend Sarah, who “Got a Pretenders record!” were among those that found their way into Cheapo.

After more than two hours of performances the judges for Varsity Vocals, the organization hosting the a cappella tourna-ment, came on stage. Amidst an air of exhausted anticipation, the judges announced first place win-ners “Out of the Blue” from Yale University, followed by North-eastern University’s Nor’easters and Tunes Beats Awesome, of the University of Toronto.

Although the Girls Next Door did not place, the girls are still very proud of their accomplish-ment. “I’ve been hearing people say that we’re still really able to move people with our music,” said Kouloriotis, “That’s what I want to hear, that’s what is im-portant to me. It’s so refreshing to still hear that that people are, most important, moved by what we’re doing. Tryon echoed this sentiment: “I think, in general, that we did (the set) the best we’ve ever done it. We really put our hearts and souls into it.”

Since 1926, Meadow Brook Farms Dairy of Clarksville, N.Y. has been producing and home-delivering glass-bottled, fresh organic milk to local customers’ doorsteps. After four genera-tions in the family, not much has changed.

Chuck VanWie, fourth genera-tion milkman for Meadow Brook Farms Dairy reported that the trucks go out four days a week, leaving around 4:30 a.m., and his typical morning of deliveries in-cludes over 100 stops.

VanWie was quite serious when he said that “[kids] think milk comes from the supermar-ket,” not having any perception of the entire milking process. He estimated the farm to hold about 200 cows total, half of the herd being Brown Swiss, and the other half Holsteins.

The company offers a selection of whole, two percent, or skim milk, as well as half and half and heavy cream. However, it’s Meadow Brook Farms chocolate milk that seems to be the favorite among customers.

VanWie considers their choco-late milk to be the “best in the country.” This opinion was con-firmed by College of Saint Rose student Sarah Agan when she ex-

claimed, “It’s the best chocolate milk I ever had!” at the mention of Meadow Brook Farms.

Pine Hills resident of five years, Kelly Doherty, stated that she and her husband “kept seeing the truck in the morning deliv-ering and the boxes at houses,” and that it “got [them] curious.” Thanks to their curiosity, the cou-ple has been using the Meadow

Brook Farms milk delivery ser-vice for about a year now.

As a health-conscious young couple, Doherty said “we like the fact that the milk does not contain antibiotics or hormones,” speak-ing for she and her husband. She also mentioned “supporting lo-cal merchants” and “the fact that it’s organic,” as reasons for using choosing Meadow Brook Farms milk.

Doherty reported that she finds the price to be comparable to or-

ganic store-bought milk at $3.25 per half gallon, of which they have a standing order for three each week. “We use milk daily,” Doherty said. The couple also enjoys the seasonal eggnog the company offers at Christmas.

The environmentally friendly aspect is an important aspect to Doherty as well. “The bottles are reused. We just put them back in the box and they are picked up when the milk is delivered.” According to VanWie, the reus-able glass bottles then go back to the farm, undergo sanitizing, are washed out and refilled, ready to be delivered once again.

Doherty reported that she makes the monthly payment the old-fashioned way: the milkman leaves a bill in the milk box and the next week she leaves a check for him to pick up when he comes around six in the morning.

Although they’re usually asleep when the milk is delivered, Doherty said that her husband is on a first name basis with their milkman; a personal aspect of having milk home delivered, and just another of the many perks.

Most of all “It’s … about the quality of the milk,” Doherty said, adding “Meadow Brook Farms definitely tastes better than the kind you buy in the store.”

There are many blogs in the online universe. There are blogs about TV shows, books, photog-raphy, and anything else you can imagine. But one theme that has become popular is that of inspira-tion.

Sophomore Tinamarie Stolz took it upon herself to create a blog that will inspire girls to believe in themselves and look past society’s view on them. “I always felt this overwhelming sadness when I heard a friend talk about being ugly, or fat, or too skinny, etc. It breaks my heart into a million pieces. I don’t think women are told they are beautiful enough, and I think that beauty is measured wrong; I felt called to do something about it.”

Her blog is called G4G mean-ing Girls 4 God. She spent time at a conference that sort of in-spired the title. “I wanted a name that was easy to remember, fun, positive, and really summed up what this new tug in my heart was…Please don’t think that you HAVE to be Christian to read it… It’s just that I feel like God has poured all this love into my life, and I just want to share it with ev-erybody else!”

Her post on Jan. 17, 2012 was of a picture with the words “You are beautiful” written in script let-ters. Underneath, Stolz posted the saying: “There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to. There is beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn't thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confi dence comes from experiences; who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and

move on.” She makes the posts unique by using different colors for keywords and italicizes other words.

Posting twice a week, Stolz uses her own thoughts and then posts a picture, video, or poem. Using personal experiences helps in the big question of “What do I post?” She has recently posted about the “necessity” of make-up. “I want to let the women of this country know that they are loved and beautiful from the inside out no matter what anyone else says.”

One thing about the blog that Stolz makes sure of is the cred-ibility of her sources.

She also likes to look within herself. “…In one post I talk about how we need to stop com-paring ourselves to others, but I needed to make sure that I was willing to do it, and that it was effective in my own life. I would never ask anyone to do something I wouldn’t do.”

In the future, Stolz wants to become a professional blog-ger and create programs ranging from young children to adults in the workplace. Within youth groups, she wants to discuss God’s thoughts on them and let them know that he thinks they are beautiful. In schools, she wants to put together a presentation about body issues with videos and inter-active plays. With a strong belief in teachers, she would present topics to them about helping their students with their issues. Later, she wants to create a magazine regarding young girls’ views on themselves.

Stolz is always looking for suggestions and feedback on her blog. To view the blog, head to http://g4gyourebeautiful.blogspot.com and get inspired. To contact Stolz about the site, email her at [email protected].

Student Finds Purpose in Inspirational Blog


By MARLEE WOODContributing Writer

With a deep love for helping students within the inner city to find acceptance, new teacher edu-cation faculty member, Tammy Schillinger, strives to inspire fu-ture teachers at the College of Saint Rose to be understanding of each and every student that walks into their classrooms.

Schillinger, who is working on her Ph.D. at the University at Albany, is also a professor in the School of Education preparing teachers in training to meet the diverse needs of their future stu-dents.

Ever since Schillinger enrolled in the master’s in education pro-gram in January of 2000, she knew this was the college where she belonged. She immediately fell in love with the welcoming atmosphere and was drawn to the passionate teachers at Saint Rose. It is the same enthusiasm that she possesses for helping others and it was because of this that Schil-linger hoped after graduating from Saint Rose in December of 2001 that someday she would be-come a professor here.

Even in September of 2002 when Schillinger began her teaching career at Delaware Community School in Albany, Saint Rose was close to her heart. Throughout her career at Dela-ware Community School, Schil-linger supported the Saint Rose teaching program. She welcomed as many as 30 college students a year to come into her 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade classrooms who were looking for student teaching jobs or field hours.

In 2006, Schillinger took great initiative to set up a Saint Rose Buddy program with Professor JoAnn Monaghan who is also on the teacher education faculty at the college. This program al-lowed between 50 and 60 Saint Rose students to work one-on-one with the children in Schillinger’s classroom at Delaware Commu-nity School. Now that Schillinger has become part of the teaching staff at Saint Rose, she is one of

New Education Professor Strives to Inspire Future Teachersthe professors that brings future teachers into these classrooms.

During her years at Delaware Community School, Schillinger’s drive for helping others was clearly seen by both friends and faculty.

“Tammy is dedicated to meet-ing the needs of all students,” said Thomas Giglio, principal at Dela-ware Community School. She has, “a real compassion to build relationships with her students and families.”

Schillinger’s dedication helped make a respected name for herself within the Delaware Community School. She launched both an af-ter school Zumba Program and tutoring program for the students and families in the community.

Although the faculty members

at Delaware Community School are sad to see Schillinger leave, they are glad that she continues to maintain a relationship with them, as well as with the stu-dents. Schillinger still comes to the school at least two or three times a week and also volunteers to make home visits with Giglio to check on students who have left the district.

“She is one of the most dedi-cated and compassionate teachers that I know. She always puts her students first,” said Jessica Short, a friend and faculty member at Delaware Community School.

When Schillinger is not busy taking trips to visit Delaware Community School or motivat-ing future teachers at the College of Saint Rose, she enjoys play-ing volleyball, spending time with her family, doing volunteer

work and loves acting. Schillinger, who has participated in volun-teer work since she was a young girl, says that she now likes to volunteer at her church and at local schools. Her love of acting was developed at a young age as well, where she participated in plays throughout both mid-dle school and high school, and then in her later years.

Schillinger also enjoys finding and exploring historical sites. Her favorite site is the Olana Mansion located in Hudson, NY. Schillinger ex-plained that she was in awe of the multi-cultural interior of the mansion and that she and her husband Tom loved its uniqueness so much that they decided to name their now 5 year old daughter Olana after its beauty.

Before Schillinger began her teaching career at Delaware Community School or enrolled in the Saint Rose master’s in educa-tion program, she started out as an undergraduate and received her B.A. in psychology in December of 1999 at UAlbany. Schillinger came to Albany after spending seven years in Connecticut where she had moved after graduating from high school in 1989. While in Connecticut, Schillinger stud-ied psychology at Western Con-necticut State University and met her husband Tom whose family lived in New York. Moving to Albany seemed like the perfect fit; it fulfilled her love for the in-ner city and they were able to be close to Tom’s family.

Spending most of her child-hood growing up in the inner city of both Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, Schillinger always knew she would teach in a city. Something about the inner city spoke to her.

When Schillinger moved to

Maine at the age of 13, she was taken aback by the country at-mosphere. She discovered that it was so country based; her school, Central Aroostook High School would begin in August and close in September so that students could help pick potatoes. Schil-linger thought that it was “inter-esting” that school had to be shut down for this reason and decided that living in the country was not for her. She preferred the city and the urban life she was used to. As soon as she could, Schillinger left for the city to pursue her dreams.

Schillinger spent most of her childhood living in poverty and always looked up to the teachers that would accept any student no matter their background or eco-nomic status.

“I had two teachers, one in el-ementary school and one in high school that made a huge impact on my life,” she said.

Everyday Schillinger strives to be that teacher, the teacher who will support each and ev-ery student no matter what their economic background may be. Schillinger has carried this pas-sion with her not only during

her years at Delaware Commu-nity School but for the students at Saint Rose as well. Schillinger also hopes to bring her compas-sion to the future teachers at Saint Rose and is confident that they will strive to be the teachers that all students can look up to.

Schillinger, 40, looks back on her childhood and cannot remem-ber a time where helping others was not on her mind. When she was five, she wrote in her jour-nal that she wanted to become a teacher. However, like any other child, as time went on, her plans changed. She would write the most common childhood respons-es such as, “I want to become a doctor,” but each and every time her ideas returned to becoming a teacher.

As for now, Schillinger plans to continue to inspire future teachers at the College of Saint Rose and start working on a book that she has been thinking about writing called, Voices of the Inner City. “I am hopeful that I can get it published and share the good that comes from the inner city.”

By JOSEPH NAPOLIOnline Journalism

When a customer enters the Curry House, a neighborhood Indian restaurant, owner Mo-hammad Manik greets them with a friendly “hello” and then follows with a “How are you?” He’s gruff but friendly, and con-stantly working—open to close six days a week. He’s also always concerned with making his cus-tomers happy, including one to whom he specifically remembers to serve guava juice because it’s her favorite.

Manik took over the Curry House eight years ago when there were only three other Indian res-taurants in the area. Today, there are more than a dozen. Despite this prevalence, there are still many locales who have never tried Indian cuisine due to its spicy reputation, or for fear of trying something different.

The Curry House is a great place for beginners to try Indian food, according to Indian expa-triate Alex Panackale, a frequent patron of the Madison Avenue eatery. “The price is very good, not charging too much, good va-riety,” said Panackale.

Northern Indian restaurants, like the Curry House, are not particularly spicy unless the cus-tomer specifies otherwise. “I can make it spicy. Number one to 100,” Manik said. When cus-tomer Kevin Johnson, who has a penchant for spicy food, queried Manik about which dishes were spiciest, Manik explained how the spice of any dish could be en-hanced with chili powder and red onion chutney.

The customs of his Manik’s home country, Bangladesh, has a lot to do with why the Curry House’s food is not as spicy as other Indian restaurants. Panack-ale, who prepares Indian food often himself, said that the chili powder used in Bangladesh and Northern Indian food is not as spicy as that of the Southern In-dian variety. The Curry House advertises itself as serving North-ern Indian, Southern Indian, and Pakistani cuisine, which is true.

However, the food contains more of the characteristics of Northern Indian food, namely that it is less spicy, creamier, and has more bread dishes.

While he loves his home coun-try’s food, he does not miss liv-ing there. He moved to the Unit-ed States 12 years ago, when he was 27. He joked about how he moved to America for the same reason as Europeans did in the early 20th century. “I wanted a better life. The U.S. has better education, better rules...every-thing is good.” He's proud that his son, now 12, will be able to receive the full benefits of life in America.

His first job in the U.S. was working as a cook at the business he now owns. When he started, we was unsure of the career path that he wanted to pursue. He took the job because it would help him work on his English. Two months after he was hired, he was pro-moted to table waiting. It was this quick advancement that con-vinced him that he wanted to be in the restaurant business. Within four years, he was the owner of the Curry House.

Server, Mohammad Azizur Rahman, also from Bangladesh, has worked at the Curry House for over a year, and enjoys the atmosphere and the customers. Every week he is happy to see the same faces. “It’s fun and nice to make conversation with all the people.” He's even developed friendships outside of work with some of the customers from his home country. His co-worker, Mohammad Rahman, has worked at the Curry House for five years, and had nothing but good things to say about the job. “I like this place…everyone here is friendly. It’s a good neighborhood.”

Located at 1112 Madison Ave. in Albany, the restaurant is non-descript from the outside, and looks like it could be one of the area’s many pizza joints—in fact it shares a building with one of them. Words used to describe the interior ranged from, “cozy,” and “very-authentic,” to “small,” and “sparse.”

The cuisine may be exotic,

with some dishes featuring up to 50 seasonings, but the prices are college appropriate. Students pro-viding a valid school ID receive a 15 percent discount, and the res-taurant’s website (curryhouseal-bany.com) has printable coupons, such as $5 off a purchase of $30 or more.

One of the Curry House’s most popular dishes is tandoori chicken ($10.95), cooked in a cyclical clay oven (tandoor) at a high temperature, and seasoned with turmeric, cayenne pepper, and red chili powder. The spices synergize with the chicken as the oven locks in the flavor and mois-ture to provide a flavor unique to Indian food.

The restaurant’s menu has to be balanced with meat and veg-etable dishes because, while most Pakistani customers eat meat, around 75 percent of the Indian patrons are vegetarians, Manik said. Vegetable curry ($8.95) is a

favorite among herbivores. It’s a stew like dish comprised of car-rots, tomatoes and potatoes, with a hint of spice and coriander.

One couple from Castleton travels to Albany at least once a week to eat at the Curry House, which fulfills both of their pref-erences. Joyananda Gi likes the vegetarian choices and the variety of the menu. “It’s perfect,” she said. “And I don’t normally like spiciness at all.” Matt Migliorisi likes the meat dishes: “The chick-en ends up being really tender.” They both agreed that the quality of the restaurant’s food has re-cently improved.

The Curry House is particularly popular with people native to the cuisine. However, the restaurant isn’t just for people who grew up eating Indian food. It’s for people who like trying something differ-ent, or spicy, or discovered years ago or more recently that they love Indian food. Steve Dorn-bush is one of those people who recently discovered Indian food, and had great things to say about it and the Curry House. “The fla-vors [of Indian food] are more ex-quisite. The Curry House’s food makes food we [Americans] are accustomed to seem bland.”

Like most restaurants, business picks up on Thursday and peaks on Saturday, with a decline into Monday.

The restaurant does around ten takeout orders a day, but they're large orders. Usually four meals or more at a time, to businesses that call in lunch deliveries or families that pickup their dinner

on the way home from work. When a customer calls to

place an order for takeout, Manik greets them with a “How are you my friend?” Naan bread—a pas-try like buttered flatbread—is so frequently ordered, and in large quantities, that he instinctively checks before finishing the call by asking “How many naan you want?”

The Curry House’s most ac-claimed feature is its lunch buf-fet, which was voted one of the top buffets in Albany in the Met-roland Readers’ poll in 2008, and the second-best Indian buffet in their 2011 edition. It runs from

11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. weekdays ($6.99), and 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. on the weekend ($7.99).

Manik gets nervous when the buffet business starts off slowly, and mutters things such as “no customer.” But like clockwork, around noon on weekdays, and 12:30 p.m. on the weekend, busi-ness picks up quickly, and the only empty tables are those of people at the buffet getting more food. The other customers were amenable, however, when there was no room for an incoming diner, and multiple people offered to expedite their leaving in order to accommodate the newcomers.

The service is prompt and there is always a clean table with regularly filled drinks. “They’re so nice, and they know us,” said Gi. Patrons are immediately seat-ed and asked for their choice of drink, ranging from Pepsi-Cola to spiced tea, and then it’s time to indulge.

Fruit-slices, salad, and naan bread serve as a warm up for the main course: a 10 entrée spread featured in the center of the res-taurant with a daily rotation of normal menu items. Half are meat dishes and the other half are vegetarian, complemented by a tray of basmati rice, flavored with cumin.

Dan Gardy, a newcomer to the Curry House, and to Indian food in general, tried the buffet on a Saturday afternoon, and was disappointed he had never tried it sooner. “It was good. Really good. I’ll have to come back and try it again.”

The biggest problem with own-ing a restaurant in the Pine Hills area, Manik said, is all of the sur-rounding competition. There’s a Dunkin’ Donuts and Subway nearly right next door, and more restaurants than he’d like to count within walking distance.

He would tell a potential cus-tomer that has never tried Indian food about the variety of dishes, and how spices will prevent sick-ness. To him: “American food is mild, boring, only [seasoning is)] salt. Indian food is spice…spice gives the food life.”

After 70 Years, Casablanca Still Proves A Classic

By CHRIS SURPRENANTArts Editor

There’s something special about Casablanca. Maybe it’s the stellar acting? Perhaps a great plot? Or is it the snappy dialogue? Seventy years after it first pre-miered, Casablanca still has the power to move its audience with eclectic characters and powerful performances.

The 1942 film starring Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart has produced some of the most iconic scenes and classic lines in cinematic history, laying the foundation for all future romantic films. The magic of Casablanca though, is its universal appeal. Yes, it’s a melodrama, but it’s also an action film with a polite dose of comedy. Hitting all the right marks, it’s no surprise that the film warranted a limited re-release in celebration of the film’s 70th anniversary.

Set in the Moroccan city of Casablanca in the beginning of WWII, the film centers around cynical nightclub owner Rick Blaine (Bogart) and two letters of transit he possesses that will allow refugees of Nazi-occupied Europe to escape to America. The reason for Rick’s cynicism re-

enters his life in the form of the beautiful Ilsa Lund (Bergman) and Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), who is a leader of the Czech Re-sistance. The couple intends to buy the letters of transit to flee Casablanca so that Victor may continue his efforts against the Nazis.

Prior to the current state of af-fairs in Casablanca, Ilsa and Rick embarked on a brief, yet passion-ate love affair in Paris. Ilsa, think-ing that Victor was dead, found comfort in the arms of Rick. When it was made known that the Germans were going to occupy Paris, the pair planned to flee the city to avoid the assault. Howev-er, at the train station, Ilsa never shows up, instead she leaves Rick a note telling him that they can never be together. For the dura-tion of the film, Rick wrestles with Ilsa being back in his life, and whether or not he wants to help his former love and her hus-band escape to freedom.

Bogart gives a phenomenal performance as Rick Blaine. He still retains the aloof edge that made him famous in earlier films, but Casablanca reveals that he can play a character with real hu-man emotions. He strikes a per-fect balance between cynicism

and sentimentalism, particularly in a scene involving his choice to give Ilsa and Victor his letters of transit.

Rick’s emotional torment is perhaps best summed up in his scathing question Ilsa, “Tell me, who was it you left me for? Was it Laszlo, or were there others in between? Or, aren't you the kind that tells?”

Of course, with Rick’s bitter-ness comes his soft side. When he makes his choice about Ilsa, he reflects on the memories they shared together, putting forth the famous line, “We’ll always have Paris.”

While he has always loved Ilsa, he realizes that the common good must come before his own desires. This is most prevalent in the film’s final, and arguably most famous scene where Ilsa is about to board a plane, never to see

Rick again. It is this sort of self-sacrifice that will strike the heart-strings of audience members.

Bergman too must be praised for the way she presents herself onscreen. She plays Ilsa with a bruised innocence that is inter-woven throughout her scenes. While she is married to Victor, she cannot help but remember the days spent with Rick. When Rick is still unsure whether or not he wants to give up the letters of transit, Ilsa goes as far to threat-en Rick with a gun to surrender them. However, viewers can see in Bergman’s eyes that Ilsa truly does not want to shoot Rick, but rather is using intimidation as a last resort for her safety.

While Bogart and Bergman steal the show as star-crossed lovers, it is Claude Rains’ Cap-tain Renault that will charm the audience. As a corrupt official,

he is cartoonish at times with great one-liners. When a couple seeking his assistance visits his office, they say that they’ll meet him promptly at six the follow-ing morning, to which Renault replies drily, “I’ll be there at ten.” It is his mix of business with pleasure that makes him incred-ibly likable, even though he’s not always completely on the side of justice.

Casablanca offers audiences today a blueprint of what films should be. Characters should be familiar, but not entirely true to life. Plots should be daring, but not unfathomable. The blend of common troubles in an uncom-mon environment creates a world viewers will long to see again and again. The class and style deliv-ered by Casablanca makes it a film worth saying, “Here’s look-ing at you, kid.”

Volume 80 Issue 27The Chronicle March 27, 2012ArtsB12Travelling Abroad Enriches Artistic AppreciationBy CHRISTINA STREZENECContributing Writer

I’ve never traveled outside of the United States prior to a couple of weeks ago, so my observations in a study-tour drawing course to Italy may seem exaggerated to those who are more cosmo-politan. The main objective of the course was to keep a record—through drawings in our sketch-books—of our travels to Rome and Florence over spring break. By making my sketchbook an ap-pendage to my body, I was able to understand my surroundings and cement memories in a way a cam-era lens could not.

Upon our arrival to Florence, my classmates and I were drained from our 16 hours of traveling from Albany to Philadelphia to Rome and finally to Florence. We all wanted to pass out considering the six-hour time difference and the fact we were lugging our suit-cases from planes to vehicles all day. Somehow, many of us ven-tured over to the Duomo on that

first afternoon, climbing to the very top. At the top of Brunelles-chi’s Dome, as we looked over all of Florence from one of the highest points in the city, we were blown away by the antique veil over the city of Florence as it sprawled into the surrounding hills. We felt ignited, ready and eager for the all that lay ahead of us.

During our time in Florence, we explored by foot Florentine churches, Medici landmarks, and Italian food throughout the city. After spending one day in Flor-ence, we all began to understand the streets, even without looking at our maps, and “got lost” in the

culture the city provided. Per-sonally, my sketchbook focuses on Florentine architecture, as it was very rustic and ornate. Italian architecture balances effortlessly between delicacy and heaviness. Florence was my favorite part of our adventure as it was very ro-mantic and intimate in compari-son to the much larger and more urban city of Rome; as a result, I feel my sketchbook reflects the essence of Florence as my lines got thinner, and my level of ex-perimentation rose to a whole new intensity.

Upon our arrival to Rome, we settled in our small hotel, a three-minute walk from the Pantheon. For those of you unfamiliar with the Pantheon, it is one of the best-preserved Roman buildings, built by Emperor Hadrian in 126 AD as a temple for all the gods. While in Rome, we visited an array of museums, saw an overwhelm-ing amount of ancient ruins, and consumed gelato like it was our job. Overall, I’d have to say that the immense metropolitan of

Rome offered an incredible ex-perience of viewing Roman and Renaissance art and architecture. Sculptures by Bernini, paintings by Caravaggio, the Collosseum and Forum, and the Trevi Foun-tain are must-see works and sites. Luckily, I kept a beefy sketch-book focused on recording my trips to these places. I can see a difference in the quality of my work as we made our way from Florence to Rome. My drawings opened up and I began to develop a language that not only defined me, but somehow complimented the Italian culture that I was ex-periencing.

Seeing textbook images come to life before my eyes made me speechless: works by Michelan-gelo, Botticelli, Raphael, Cara-vaggio and Massaccio and so many other artists. It’s difficult to put into words the entire experi-ence: it went way beyond expec-tations. My encounters with peo-ple, the unbelievable sights I had the opportunity to see, the little language barrier I had no choice but to climb over, the amazing architecture, the rich history, and the absolutely remarkable food were all things I had some sort of notion about, but could not fully understand until I actually arrived in Italy. And, through all of that, I had my sketchbook by my side and had the opportunity to experi-ence every inch of what I record-

ed within the nine inch by twelve inch pages.

The pages are bound together and conclude with a ghost-like drawing I did of the Piazza Navo-na near our hotel. The piazza was the last place I spent time alone in. The grey marker is faint and glides into the pages as an abstract perspective system, resembling an erased drawing. I never fully explained that particular entry to my professor, Deborah Zlotsky, or my fellow classmates, but it was a metaphor for my thoughts about the experience. As I sat on the curb drawing the scene, I an-ticipated that the vividness of the place would dissipate as if it were a ghost.

When the time came to draw the enormous building, I sat be-hind a man playing an Italian acoustic guitar. He was not ask-ing for money. The man was ask-ing for ears. And, as I provided him a set of ears to listen to his skillful performance, Italy pro-vided me with a last experience for my eyes.

As Mark Twain said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bow-lines, sail away from the safe har-bor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Consider Twain’s words. You will regret it if you don’t.

March 27, 2012 Volume 80 Issue 27 The ChronicleArts B13Wiz Khalifa Mixes Sounds of

Old and New Nicely On Taylor Allderdice

By KEVIN JACOBStaff Writer

Wiz Khalifa. There’s a lot to say about the guy. In the eyes of some, he released a classic with Kush and Orange Juice back in the spring of 2010. He then re-leased a mediocre album with Rolling Papers last summer. We haven’t heard much since Rolling Papers except with the occasion-al guest verse or a couple of songs with Curren$y and Big Sean. Wiz has admitted that Rolling Papers wasn’t truly his sound but his la-bel’s, and that he was going to try to bring back the old Kush and OJ sound on his new tape. I think that he’s done it.

The tape can be summed up very easily. Wiz Khalifa hasn’t been the most lyrical (I don’t think he’s ever tried to be) but he’s your definition of a “weed” rapper. A lot of the content re-volves around the green stuff and honestly it can get a little boring after a while if you’re not a Wiz fan. Good thing I’m a Wiz fan so it doesn’t really get boring.

But, the best part about this tape? It’s easily the production. With help from usual Taylor gang associates Cardo, Sledgren, and I.D. Labs, Wiz’s sound is defi-nitely back with some perfectly laid back chill beats on this one. “Never Been Part II” produced by Cardo is easily the best track on this project. The track includes a good verse from the boss himself, Rick Ross, and the chorus is done by Wiz’s girlfriend, Amber Rose, who does a solid job as well.

Some of my personal favor-ites off Allderdice start off with “Nameless,” a guest verse by Chevy Woods comes with this one and he’s okay on it. Wiz spits a nice verse on the track which explains that money is the moti-vator. Wiz sings on the chorus: “If you got money they know what

your name is; if you don’t, your nameless”.

Another track I really liked was “Blindfolds” which was produced by Harry Fraud, someone who’s becoming a lot more known late-ly. He sets a really mellow violin/string type beat for Wiz and Juicy J to spit over and the outcome is easily my top track on Allderdice.

Although I do really like this project, I thought there were some tracks that should’ve just been left on the cutting room floor. “The Cruise” could have been a really good song if Wiz just straight rapped over it. But, for some reason, Wiz tries to flex his vocal chords by singing and the outcome is just terrible.

“Guilty Conscience” is another song that I feel was misplaced on this tape. With most of the tape sounding similar to Kush and OJ, I found this track sounding like it could’ve been on Cabin Fever. The synths on this thing get really annoying quickly. The same goes for “Rowland” featuring Smoke DZA. I don’t hate the song, but I just don’t think that it was good enough to make the tape.

In the end, Wiz has restored some of my faith in his ability to make a decent project. I dig how he’s finally balanced out his sound with the more radio friend-ly songs and the real street songs. His production is sounding better than ever and his raps are seem-ingly strong as well. Overall, it’s a good project.

An Artistic Voyage Not Soon Forgotten

By ERICA COTTONContributing Writer

I participated in the “Special Topics: Studying Michelangelo in Italy” class this semester. As a whole, the class is designed to teach us as students about Mi-chelangelo’s life, influences, and body of work. We were then to give an on-site view of his work that is located in Florence or Rome, Italy. The ten of us that decided to apply and eventually enroll in the course chose to do so for many reasons. However, the biggest factor seemed to be the fact that for eight days we got to see Italy (a sight that none of us had seen before).

To get there, though, we had to put in an intense amount of work. Each one of us was required to pick a work of Michelangelo’s from a list of options and com-plete a presentation about it on-site in Italy. After we had all chosen our topics, we selected articles of merit and read them. From this, we had to decide upon a controversial topic that centered on our work. Finally, we would complete a presentation outline, much like an essay, that would encompass our research and use this to present wherever our work was in Italy.

When we, as a class, had turned in our final draft of our outline, Italy was around the cor-ner. I had never flown before or even been outside of New York State, except for Massachusetts. Everything was new and exciting for each of us. We proceeded to the airport for 45-minute flight to Philadelphia where we would have a six-hour layover and then an 8-hour plane ride to Rome. After having flown for that long, we still had to drive four hours to Florence. Everyone fell asleep on the bus except me; I was much too energized by this new experi-ence.

Everyday we were up at 7 a.m. and down at about mid-

night, walking every minute of it. For every sight that we saw, Dr. Theresa Flanigan gave us a brief statement about its art historical significance, as well as how it re-lated to Michelangelo. I gave my presentation in Florence on Mi-chelangelo’s The Bacchus in the Museo di Nazionale Bargello (the Bargello Museum). It was a truly new experience for a student who has presented dozens of times.

I also appreciated the work so much more after having re-searched it; it had newfound glo-ry. In Florence, we saw greats like the David and the Doni Tondo. When we reached Rome, we wit-nessed in plain sight the Panthe-on, the Sistine Chapel, Raphael’s School of Athens, and even Ber-nini’s Apollo and Daphne.

As for the culture, we learned a lot about Italians and their hab-its. We only were allowed to eat

lunch between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and dinner between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Also, after having taken Italian here at Saint Rose last se-mester, the majority of what we said as English-speakers was ciao (hello/goodbye), grazie (thank you) and prego (please or you’re welcome).

Now that the group and my-self have returned back to Saint Rose, we all wish to have another chance at seeing Italy (Dr. Flani-gan has been hinting about going back next year or the year after!) The class is complete for us ex-cept for a poster that is to be made for an exhibition. Our group and the group of drawing students, headed by Deborah Zlotsky, who came with us, will hold the exhi-bition. If you’d like to see their drawings and our work, the ex-hibition will be held on Friday, April 13.

From the 1960s to 1980s, this building was referred to as “Science Hall.” In 2006, a series of renovations prepared Albertus Hall to house state-of-the-art, 21st century classrooms. A $1 million first floor renova-tion saw the addition of seven new classrooms and a new Psy-chology Lab. On the second and

Happy Spring everyone! While you start your Spring cleaning, it is also a good time to start shed-ding some of that negativity from your life. It all starts with opening a window and letting that Spring air flow through your room. Take in the breeze and let in that sun-light.

Once that step is complete, you can move onto step two: clean-ing out that closet, metaphori-cally and physically. Metaphori-cally, try talking to a friend about something that is bothering you. Try telling someone what you re-ally think about them, without be-ing mean. Try explaining a situa-tion to someone if you are having trouble solving a problem. There are many ways to do this and so many resources online that can help.

Physically, it is time to go through all of those clothes you know you never wear and de-cide – Do I want to try and wear this, or should someone else have it? Make two piles – one of clothes you wear, and one of clothes you do not wear. For the pile you do not wear, go through each item – try them on if you have to – and make that big de-cision. Is it worth keeping? Go through the pile of clothes you actually do wear. Is it worn so bad that there are holes and it isn’t that bright blue you remember it as? Toss it. Is your favorite shirt in good condition, but you feel you can let it go? Give it away. It is a really good feeling to let your friends shop through your clothes or donating them to people who need them more, like the Shed Your Clothes event provided us this past week on the quad. Just

because there are no vans outside does not mean people still do not need clothes.

The final step after you have gone through your whole room and have gotten rid of all the un-necessary stuff: reorganize your room. Try a different set up. It could help relieve some stress believe it or not – even for that one day. Try something new, for instance feng shui, which is cen-tered on positive energy in the home. 1. Use your bed to only sleep in. Do not watch TV or use the computer and do homework in your bed. Your body will think it is time to work when it is really time to sleep. 2. Open the window or use an air purifier for clean air to pass through. 3. Have several steps of lighting – for instance, your ceiling light and a lamp. 4.

Keep the colors in your room light and warm. 5. Any decorations should be what you want to see in your life. 6. Your bed should be: approachable from both sides with a nightstand on either side and avoid positioning the bed in line with the door. (I know

this is difficult in a dorm, so work with what you have.) 7. Keep all doors closed at night. This includes closets and bathrooms doors as well.

These are not guaranteed steps to happiness, but they do contrib-ute to day to day living. So here is your challenge for the week: START YOUR SPRING CLEAN-ING. Open the window, get rid of the unnecessary and think about reorganizing your room. It may refresh you a bit to prepare you for that big project coming up.

During this past week, I have spent a lot of time out on the field across from Brubacher Hall with a lot of my friends. Many of them are art and music majors here at Saint Rose and they can have a pretty full schedule. This in-cludes not having time to eat din-ner. When they do, everything but Camelot is closed and they some-times go to bed with an empty stomach.

I spoke to all my art major friends on this topic and they came to the conclusion that they would appreciate if Bru Café would be open a bit later consid-ering that they are in the studio until all hours of the night. I feel it would make more sense to give Bru Café the hours that Camelot now has, even if it is just on the weekends. Some students do not feel safe walking back to cam-pus for a late night snack from Camelot because they are not well familiar with the area and it

is dark. I personally walk by Camelot

at night sometimes and find no reason to have it open until 11 at night on weekdays. I sometimes see the workers standing bored just waiting for eleven to hit their clocks. If Bru Café was open on the weekends, I find it would be helpful for those art and music majors working on their assign-ments who do not want to keep running back and forth to find something to munch on. If not, then dining hall hours should be extended until 9 p.m. I spoke to one student who is a music major and she said, “It’s a bit difficult for me to fit time to go to the din-ing hall when my schedule is so full. I have enough time to eat, but never at the dining hall. I’m tired of mozzarella sticks!” If we can have another café opening up in Centennial Hall next semester, then I am sure we can have Bru Café open for a bit longer.

Think of the art and music ma-jors. Feed their creativity!

“Old-time hockey.” First popu-larized in the 1977 film Slap Shot, the term denotes a style of hockey rooted in physicality, nastiness, and agitation. Old-time hockey is held up as a timeless tradition by a small but vocal core of fans, which seek not goals and skill, but fights and vulgarity. The ethos is not contained to on-ice play, however, as it also promotes a pervasive values system in which slurs and machismo homophobia run rampant. But as on-ice styles of play shift towards a more open style of play, a new organization looks to create a more open, ac-cepting environment towards hockey players and athletes in other sports.

The You Can Play Project calls on fans, coaches, and players to eradicate homophobia in sports by speaking in support of LGBT athletes. The organization works with NHL players to create pub-lic service announcements with a simple message: if you can play, you can play. They also offer re-sources for LGBT athletes who face issues with violence and harassment, and call for a “Cap-tain’s Challenge” where captains of sports teams on all levels pledge to speak out against ho-mophobia and discrimination in hockey.

You Can Play was founded by Philadelphia Flyers scout Pat-rick Burke, marketing executive Brian Kitts, and Glenn Witman, manager of a Colorado-based gay hockey team. Burke, the son of Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke, founded the organization in memory of his brother Brendan, a former hockey player and manager of his college’s hockey team, who came out during his senior year. When he publicly came out in a John Buccigross story in 2009, Burke explained that he felt compelled to tell his story because gay ath-letes “deserve to know that they can feel safe (and) that sports

isn’t all homophobic.” The time he had to spread his message was tragically cut short a few months later when he perished in a car accident. On the group’s website, Patrick Burke invokes his brother and calls for an “atmosphere of inclusion” in sports.

The atmosphere that Burke seeks is moving even closer to becoming a reality. A 2006 Sports Illustrated poll asked athletes across the MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL whether or not they would accept a gay athlete. Al-most 80% of NHL respondents said that they would accept a gay teammate, a percentage higher than any of the other three sports polled. In the Buccigross story, Burke spoke highly of his Miami University coaches and team-mates, praising them for not only accepting them but for also com-mitting to be more aware of what language they used. The You Can Play Project takes this to another level: now, acceptance is encour-aged across an even broader plat-form, making it possible to reach out to even more LGBT athletes than previously imagined.

Of course, The You Can Play Project has areas in which it can improve. While their message is simple and easily accessible, four more words could make a world’s difference: “…and you should play.” Taking a neutral stance towards sexual identity is ideal: whether a person is gay, straight, or otherwise doesn’t help or hin-der their ability to stickhandle or skate backwards. But as the response from Burke’s college teammates reveal, there is still a large amount of active homopho-bia in hockey. Until that ends, people are going to need to speak using an encouraging method to negate the amounts of homopho-bia used on and off the ice. The founders of You Can Play are no fools and almost certainly under-stand this, and the organization’s PSAs offer encouragement for teammates, but offering support for non-teammates could help. This is where You Can Play has

another shortcoming: although using NHL superstars greatly im-proves the message’s visibility, it needs to be promoted by players at all levels. Homophobia hap-pens on teams from the NHL to beer leagues, and acceptance needs to be shown from those players too.

Even with its shortcomings, the You Can Play Project de-serves significant praise for tak-ing action at a point in time where a message of support for LGBT athletes is needed most. That hockey, a sport with such en-demic homophobia could come this far, deserves credit as well. Still, the path to sexual neutrality in hockey—and other sports—faces a long battle. For some, ho-mophobia is a deeply rooted con-viction, and old habits die hard. But with enough pressure and the right message, the You Can Play Project and other groups can push sports into a new era of ac-ceptance.

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton is going to have to find some other way to spend Sunday afternoons this fall. Pay-ton, along with former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams (the current the defensive coordina-tor for the St. Louis Rams) have been suspended for the entire 2012 season without pay as well as assistant head coach Joe Vitt (who is suspended for the first six games).

Payton’s suspension begins April 1st, with William’s suspen-sion effective immediately (Wil-liams was suspended indefinite-ly). Along with the two coaches, Saints General Manager Mickey

Loomis was suspended without pay for the first eight games of the 2012 season.

These suspensions come in the

wake of the bounty program the Saints were running since de-fensive coordinator Gregg Wil-liams arrived to the team. In the bounty program, players would receive monetary compensation for performing “knock-out” and “cart-off” hits during a game. Ac-cording to the NFL, knockout hits were worth $1500 and cart-off hits were worth $1000.

It is important to note that the NFL bans any form of payment for performance in a specific game, including interceptions, sacks, tackles, touchdowns, and etc.

According to ESPN.com, the NFL said the bounty program involved anywhere from 22-27 players including Aaron Rodg-ers, Cam Newton, and Kurt War-

ner. ESPN.com also reported that according to a league source, Saints middle linebacker (and team captain) Jonathan Vilma of-fered $10,000 to any player who knocked-out Brett Favre from the 2010 NFC championship game. In that game, the Saints were flagged multiple times for unnec-essary roughness against Favre. The Saints won the 2010 NFC championship game en route to their only super bowl victory in team history.

In addition to the suspensions, the league imposed multiple other sanctions on the team. The team was fined $500,000, and was forced to give up their second round draft picks in the 2012 and 2013 draft.

Some may think that these

‘Saints’ Hit Hard with Penaltiessanctions are too much, but I think the penalties are just right. Think about the concept that the Saints were advocating: paying players more money to severely injure players. Even though I am sure football players go out there trying to tackle their opponent as hard as possible, I just have a problem with the concept of monetary compensation for injur-ing someone. It is almost like the Saints were teaching their players to be hit men more than football players.

I applaud commissioner Roger Goodell for the sanctions he laid down. If he had given the Saints organization a simple “slap on the wrist” it would have sent the wrong message to the league, and anyone who watches the NFL.

On Wednesday, it became of-ficial that Tim Tebow would be-come a New York Jet. Last year’s Cinderella story in the NFL is on his way to the Jets, two circus’ coming together to create a giant media-fueled mess.

The Broncos traded him with a seventh round draft pick, in exchange for the Jets’ fourth and sixth round picks in the upcom-ing draft.

It should be made very clear that Mark Sanchez is still the starting quarterback of the Jets, that fact has not changed. How-ever, his playing time will be di-minished, and the way the Jets play the game will be greatly changed.

Before this trade was made, the Jets had plan to change their game plan for next season. In January, the team signed former Dolphin’s head coach, Tony Sparano, to be the new offensive coordina-tor. Sparano is known for being

a run-first offensive play caller. Sparano also, famously, brought the Wildcat offense to Miami.

In 2008, the Dolphins first used the Wildcat, and combined with the stellar play of newly acquired Chad Pennington, won eleven games. The Wildcat’s highest point was its first use. The Dol-phins were 0-2 with nothing to lose when they traveled to play the heavily favored New England Patriots. For a few plays during the game, they called Pennington off the field and put running back Ronnie Brown in the shotgun. New England had no answer, and the Dolphins shocked the Patri-ots, winning 38-13.

For most of Tebow’s first year with the Broncos, he only played in Wildcat situations before re-ceiving three starts in the final three games for a team already out of playoff contention. Even in Tebow’s magical run with 11 starts last year, he did play in some traditional quarterback sets, but his most success came run-ning in a Wildcat fashion.

Tebow brings something special to the table. If you put Tebow in a traditional quarter-back scenario, where he is forced to stand under center, receive the snap, and make a three- or five-step drop, he is ineffective. If you allow Tebow to run the ball a few times, then the defense has to always be thinking about the run, leaving guys open for big gains in the passing game.

This makes the Jets offense very dangerous. Sanchez should be mostly paired with the power running Shonn Greene, who has the ability to run through the line-backers. While Tebow, who does some power running of his own, could be paired with the small and speedy Joe McKnight.

A defense is going to have to throw a lot at the Jets to slow down this running game, leaving little downfield to protect against Sanchez’ vertical game, and even the occasional downfield attack from Tebow.

There is a lot to like about this trade from the Jets’ perspective,

but there is also a lot to worry about. If Sanchez starts out the season not playing well, or if the team is losing games, then the fans are going to be chanting Tebow’s name. If you don’t think that makes a difference, ask Kyle Orton.

If Sanchez plays well, this

move has the potential to add a dimension to the Jets offense and put them back in the AFC Cham-pionship Game. If Sanchez plays poorly, the Jets will find them-selves in the middle of a mess that they won’t be able to handle.

How is your bracket doing? The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has been rolling for the past week now, and the com-petition is getting fierce.

The second day of the tourna-ment gave us two great upsets that hurt a lot of hopeful fans’ brackets. Number two seeded Duke suffered a loss to the fif-teenth seeded Lehigh, and seem-ingly Final Four bound, number two seeded Missouri fell to fif-

teenth seeded Norfolk State. Missouri was one of the top

picks in the country to make it to the Final Four, and even win the entire thing. It was hard to be-lieve, and watch, Missouri getting beaten by Norfolk State. Duke, however, seemed much more likely to lose. The star-studded Blue Devils had not been playing like they wanted to win. A heavy favorite prior to the season, Duke lost its mojo and got the early boot from the tournament.

Syracuse has been riding strong, even without center Fab

Melo. Syracuse’s tournament popularity dropped way down when Melo was listed as ineli-gible. A lot a people, myself in-cluded, had written them off as an easy loss.

After an extremely close call against UNC Ashville in the first round, Syracuse proceeded to pound Kansas State. In the Sweet Sixteen they hit a snag against Wisconsin, but still pulled out a

one-point victory. Syracuse will now face their toughest oppo-nent yet in Ohio State in the Elite Eight. Not having Melo will be a definite factor in shutting down Ohio State star Jared Sullinger.

VCU was looking for another bid to the Final Four this year. Coach Shaka Smart led 12th seeded VCU to an upset win over Wichita State. They rode that win high into the next round facing Indiana. Indiana proved to be too much for them though, losing a close game.

The victories that are consid-ered upsets like, Lehigh over Duke, and North Carolina State over Georgetown, should not be considered such. When you are a small school just barely making the tournament, you get the urge to prove yourself. These teams are overcome with determination and a will to win.

Going into any game during the NCAA Tournament thinking

NCAA Tournament Heats UpWith early upsets and double-digit seeds making runs,

this year’s tournament lives up to the March Madness hype

a game will be an easy win would be foolish. That is exactly what happened to Duke and Missouri; they took their eye off the prize and look where they ended up. This is what makes college bas-ketball so much fun to watch. The win-or-go-home play style has led to the rising of the underdogs, giving the little guys hope.

When all these teams are brought down to one, single digit number, it all comes down to coaching. Take a look at the last three national champion coaches: Jim Calhoun of UConn,

Mike Krzyzewski of Duke, and Roy Williams of North Carolina. These three are great coaches that have won multiple titles with their squads.

You can have all the talent in the world but if there is not a great mind behind it to navigate through defensive set-ups and offensive plays, then a team will fall. The national champion will not just decide the best basketball team in the country, but it will also expose the best coach in the country.

has led to the rising of the underdogs,

The Saint Rose Golden Knights Men’s Lacrosse team hosted the Dominican College Chargers on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, at the Plumeri Sports Complex.

It was the men’s first home game in Saint Rose history and everybody was pumped, includ-ing coaches, players, and fans. Their tenacity to win was shown in the score, with Saint Rose get-ting the 18-7 win.

The first quarter ended with

Men’s Lacrosse Win Inaugural Home GameSaint Rose scoring five goals, the first being scored within the first 45 seconds by sophomore attack Brett McAuliffe. Within the next 14 minutes, the Golden Knights made four other goals, while Do-minican scored two.

The Golden Knights contin-ued to dominate the Chargers throughout the first half, leaving the score 7-3 at halftime.

In the second half, Saint Rose continued its streak. Kevin Flem-ming, a freshman attack, scored four of the eighteen goals and added two assists. Flemming doesn’t take all the credit for his success.

“Scoring goals [are] great, but you have to thank your team-mates for assisting those goals, you can’t do it by yourself,” said Flemming. The end result was a blowout by the score of 18-7.

So the question remains: how will the team do this season? Was it just a well played game, or is

their success going to continue throughout the season?

“We still have some little things to work on, and we defi-nitely didn’t play perfect out there,” said first year coach Tim

Robbins. “We made a lot of mis-takes that veteran teams wouldn’t make, but we are undefeated on our home field, and that’s how we want to keep it.”

On Saturday, the Saint Rose baseball team took on UMass Lowell in a double-header in which the Golden Knights lost both games, 6-1 and 11-3.

In the first game, both teams were knotted at one, although six innings were with strong pitching by senior right-hander Kris Barone. Barone struck out seven, while just allowing one run though 5.2 innings in a no-decision.

Then in the seventh, River Hawks broke up the 1-1 tie by scoring four runs to give UMass Lowell the 5-1 lead. UMass Low-ell increased their lead in the ninth inning by adding on another run. The River Hawks would go

on to win the first game 6-1. In the second game, Saint

Rose and UMass Lowell were all squared away through three in-nings. Then in the fourth, errors made by the Golden Knights led to a four-run rally by the River Hawks.

UMass continued their rally by scoring two runs in the sixth inning and three runs in the sev-enth. The River Hawks would tact on one more run in the eighth to increase the lead to 11-1.

Golden Knights showed a little spark with a two-run base hit by sophomore catcher Scott Hladik in the eighth inning to make the score 11-3.

But that wouldn’t be enough for the Golden Knights as the River Hawks would go on, and win the second game 11-3 to

sweep the Golden Knights in the Saturday double-header.

Junior designated hitter Caleb Gleason had a strong day by hit-ting a single in each game to con-tinue his hit streak to 12 games on the season.

Next up for the Golden Knights will be Assumption on March 28th at 3:30 in Worcester, MA.
