UB goes Bollywood: dance class comes to campus

JORDAN GROSSMANASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Junior wide receiver Ron Wil-loughby comes off as modest and humble when he’s not on the field. But his aggressive play and out-landish stature earned him a nick-name a few years ago from former Buffalo quarterbacks coach Don Patterson that will stick with him forever.

“Willough-beast.”The team was watching game

tape when a Willoughby highlight came onto the screen.

“He just randomly said, ‘That’s the Willough-beast.’ I’ve never re-ally had a nickname before this so I’m having some fun with it,” Wil-loughby said.

And he proved he was wor-thy of the nickname after last Sat-urday’s game when he emerged with 10 catches, 132 yards and two touchdowns in the football team’s 38-28 victory over Duquesne (0-1).

There were instances during the game that might have took some fans by surprise, including a 44-minute lighting delay and a down-to-the-wire matchup against a Football Subdivision Champion-ship (FCS) opponent.

But the biggest surprise may have been Willoughby.

The Avon Lake, Ohio native only had three career catches be-fore Saturday’s game.

Willoughby redshirted his first year at Buffalo and did not have much production once he start-ed playing. As a redshirt freshman

in 2012, he played in seven games without recording a single catch. Not much changed the following season, as he only caught three re-ceptions for 83 yards in 2013.

Willoughby took advantage of his time as a backup. He was men-tored by one of the program’s best receivers in recent history: Alex Neutz.

“Alex taught me a lot about the game and the program,” Willough-by said. “I was behind him for three years, watching and learning from him.”

With Neutz and fellow receiv-er Fred Lee graduated, a void was created at the wide receiver posi-tion. In Buffalo’s first game with-out Neutz and Lee, Willoughby made the most of his opportunity.

“I never thought I would put up

those numbers,” Willoughby said about his outburst on Saturday.

Willoughby’s most memora-ble moment was his first touch-down of the game. Not only was it his first career touchdown, but he also celebrated the score with his grandfather, Ronald Willough-by Sr.

Ronald Willoughby Sr. was standing behind the medal guard-rail facing the end zone. Af-ter catching the touchdown, Wil-loughby’s momentum took him right to the spot his grandfather was standing, who gave him a con-gratulatory slap on the helmet.

“It was such a special moment that I will never forget,” Willough-by said.

The touchdown ended up being the game-winner.

The man behind the nickname might have a promising career in Buffalo ahead of him. As junior quarterback Joe Licata’s poten-tial new favorite target, Willough-by might be looking at a breakout year. But even if he didn’t get one more reception, he would be fine with it as long as his dream be-comes a reality.

“In Buffalo, the only thing I want to accomplish is getting a ring on my fin-ger,” Willoughby said. “I’ll do what-ever it takes to get a Mid-American Conference ring. I could have negative catches as long as it means my team gets the ‘W.’”

The “Willough-beast” will try to continue his dominance when the Bulls play at Army this Saturday at noon.

season opening victory

THE WILLOUGH-

BEAST

ATHIRA UNNIASST. NEWS EDITOR

Chief of the University Po-lice Department Gerald Schoen-le worries it’s “just a matter of time” before someone dies of heroin overdose on Buffalo’s campus.

Heroin-caused deaths have al-ready happened at SUNY Os-wego and Binghamton. But UB now has a method to com-bat the potential problem: anti-dote kits to provide pre-hospital care in case of heroin overdos-es. Twelve SUNY campuses, UB included, received grant funding from the state’s Attorney Gener-al’s office for the naloxone kits, also known as narcan, to poten-tially save students’ lives.

“If we don’t do something like this, people are going to die,” said Lt. David Urbanek from UPD. “We are doing this to save somebody’s life if needed.”

In 2009, 12 people died from heroin overdoses in Erie Coun-ty – that number has gone up to “at least 29” in 2013, according to a report issued by the New York State Senate called “New York’s Heroin Addiction Crisis.” The Senate reports there’s an in-crease of heroin-related deaths across the state.

NYS Attorney General Eric Schneiderman launched the Community Overdoses Preven-tion program, which is facilitat-

ing the kits for the colleges. Buf-falo received $3,600 for 60 kits, each kit costing $60.

Naloxone, the main compo-nent of the kit, is an effective antidote to reverse the results of heroin overdose. A cheap high

Nearly half of young people who have injected heroin report-ed using prescription opiates be-fore beginning heroin use, ac-cording to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Heroin is increasingly being used as a cheaper replacement to other opiates like oxycodone and hydrocodone.

Robert Granfield, a sociology professor at UB, said the trend of heroin replacing prescription drugs means that use of heroin is no longer confined to “poorer communities.”

“With the escalation of pre-scription drug use for non-med-ical purposes, there is a concern that heroin use on campuses will rise,” Granfield said. “The distri-bution of naloxone is related to [this] fact.”

Urbanek runs the kit-use train-ing. He has served as an emer-gency medical technician for 36 years and has been an emer-gency medical service instructor since 1987.

Urbanek said the idea of her-oin being available for “a couple of dollars” is dangerous.

Schoenle said no heroin over-doses have happened on cam-pus recently, although there have been cases of overdoses for oth-er drugs. There were 22 arrests for drug related violations in 2012 at UB, but none of them concerned heroin use, accord-ing to crime statistics on UPD’s website.

The Attorney General’s of-fice has said two SUNY Oswego students have died from heroin overdoses since April, and two others had near-fatal overdoses, according to a CBS New York article. The same article report-ed a graduate student died from an overdose at Binghamton Uni-versity last year.

Urbanek said UB is “being proactive” with its new antidote measures and the potential for overdoses on campus.

“We’re ahead of this,” Ur-banek said. “It hasn’t happened yet, [but] we’re prepared for it to happen.”A police force learns how to respond

Urbanek’s goal is to train ev-ery personnel including assis-tant deputy chiefs, lieutenants and detectives – not just officers – on how to properly adminis-ter the antidote. The training will take an hour and a half.

University Police Lt. David Urbanek demonstrates the nasal administration of a heroin antidote. The antidote kits have been recently supplied to 12 SUNY campuses as heroin-related deaths increase across New York State.

ubspectrum.com2 Friday, September 5, 2014

Continued from page 1: Heroin KitsAfter narcan training, offi-

cers will be issued a prescription card from the Erie County De-partment of Health, authorizing them to carry the antidote drug.

The training includes hands-on practice of using benign nar-can kits, learning symptoms of opioid overdose, effects of nal-oxone and reporting guidelines.

The antidote will be adminis-tered nasally. The drug works by displacing the opiates hitting the

receptors in the brain. Patients typically recover within a minute. Each kit will contain two syring-es, two atomizers for nasal ad-ministration, a facemask, sterile gloves and an instruction card.

An overdose of heroin can cause severe respiratory prob-lems, leading to cardiac arrest and death.

There will be three officers at a time on North and South Cam-pus with a naloxone kit. Urbanek

also plans to have antidote kits in each police car; the cars are al-ready equipped with Automated External Defibrillators.

Urbanek said naloxone does not cause any side effects and the naloxone will block any opi-ate from being effective for 30 to 90 minutes.

When naloxone is adminis-tered, patients can go into imme-diate withdrawal.

Schoenle said students who

overdosed will be covered under the Good Samaritan Law, which protects students from any charges and still enables them to receive basic medical help from UPD.

A version of this already exists on campus in the case of under-age drinking.

UPD views the naloxone kit as instrumental in ensuring stu-dent safety. UPD is uncertain of the precise number of heroin-

related incidents on campus be-cause once students are admitted to the hospital, their diagnosis – or, in these instances, the cause of overdose – does not need be shared with the police, according to Urbanek.

With the number of heroin-re-lated deaths more than doubling in Erie County in the last five years, UB is ready should that trend extend to campus.

AYLIN ERDOGANSTAFF WRITER

Clinks of bangles are heard amidst synchronized claps. The floor shakes as dancers leap into poses, painting the stage with vi-brant clothing hues, enthusiasm leaping from the dancers eyes to the audience’s imagination.

Bhangra, with its upbeat dance moves and lively music, reflects the history of Punjabi folk mu-sic.

In the spirit of promoting cul-tural diversity, UB’s Athletics de-partment is offering its first Bol-lywood/Bhangra dance class, giving students the opportunity to interactively embrace aspects of South Asian culture.

Bollywood/Bhangra, ATH 174, meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 2-2:50 p.m. The class is split into two sections for the semester and allows students to earn one academic credit per section.

Gaitrie Subryan, a UB alumna and instructor of the class, de-cided to offer this workshop af-ter she noticed an increased in-terest from UB students in her private dance workshops.

“I took a class with Gaitrie last January and was going to enroll [in] her dance studio again if she didn’t offer this class here,” said Jessica Arora, a freshman engi-neering major.

Arora said she loved the in-

tensity of Subyran’s classes, as well as the fun and catchy dance moves of Bhangra. She wanted to capitalize on the opportunity to take the class at UB and earn academic credit.

The class focuses on various Indian dance styles, like Bhangra and Garba, as well as modern dances to help students under-stand the art and history behind various dances.

Bhangra dance is performed in celebration of the harvest sea-son and is popularized by the younger Punjabi generation. Garba, however, has a more

spiritual aspect, and is usual-ly performed during a nine-day Hindu festival.

Subyran hopes to educate stu-dents on the history of Indian dance while staying fit.

“I want to structure this class with three main goals,” Subryan said. “Emphasis on Indian heri-tage, focus on various footwork, hand gestures and face expres-sions and learn the culture be-hind Bollywood.”

Both Subryan and some stu-dents believe cultural events on campus helped students become aware of Indian dance culture.

Subryan said she noticed an in-terest in Indian dance among students after each International Fiesta she attended at UB.

“I didn’t know anything about Indian dance and music un-til I went to International Fies-ta last year,” said Katelyn Doan, a sophomore psychology major. Subryan and Doan both empha-sized the importance of events promoting a deeper understand-ing of other cultures present at UB.

Some students, like Jason Jock, a third-year physics graduate stu-dent, feel like they don’t have a

good insight into Indian culture.Although Jock is surrounded

by many international students and cultural events on campus, he believes Bollywood dance and music are ways for UB stu-dents to understand Indian cul-ture.

“We have friends from India, we enjoy delicious Indian cuisine time to time and we are certain-ly familiar with India and its cul-ture,” Jock said. “But still, [the knowledge is] superficial. I don’t think we have a good under-standing of it.”

Besides gaining cultural in-sight, Subryan recommends stu-dents to learn Bhangra because it’s fun and doesn’t require much prior experience. Students taking the class also feel the same way.

“I have been dancing for 15 years and danced various styles like ballet, jazz, hip-hop and tap dance,” said Alyson Ruppenthal, a junior communication major. “I am taking [the] Bollywood class to experience something cool and learn about a new cul-ture.”

Subryan and students agreed the music and energetic move-ments make the class an appeal-ing workout opportunity for stu-dents to take their mind off of hectic class loads.

THE SPECTRUM

Editorial Board

The beginning of classes at UB guarantees many inevitabilities: disoriented freshmen, confusion on the Stampede, a Labor Day weekend packed with especially fervent partying and an influx of local news features decrying un-derage drinking and waxing poet-ic on the woes of permanent res-idents in the University Heights.

Last fall, it was The Buffalo News (“University Heights resi-dents share party concerns with UB officials”), Time Warner Ca-ble Buffalo (“University Heights residents sound off on college parties”) and WGRZ Buffalo (“University Heights Neighbors Clashing with UB Students”).

This year, WIVB has taken up the topic with yet another article featuring depictions of underage drinking and general debauchery and quoting residents disgruntled by the noise and litter.

Though the problems caused by partying are popular fodder for local news sources, the far more serious issue of student safety in the Heights is largely ig-nored.

Underage drinking and loud music are a part of the col-lege experience. Getting robbed at gunpoint or fleeing from an apartment infested with bedbugs should not be. And though the latter occurs just as frequently, students victimized by violence and housing violations don’t re-ceive the same attention as those who are drunk and loud.

These lopsided priorities were on display in a WIVB article about the problem of partying in the Heights, one that featured Common Council Member Ra-sheed Wyatt. A first-time council member, Wyatt experienced the Labor Day party scene firsthand after venturing into the neighbor-hood this weekend.

Wyatt, displeased by the bellig-erence of students and the apa-thy of the Buffalo Police, plans to introduce legislation to take back the night from partiers run-ning rampant. No word on plans to tackle burglaries (like the two in student’s homes over the weekend), assault (which has in-

creased by 16 percent since 2007 as of 2013) or rape (increased by 50 percent).

Wyatt seemed taken aback that landlords of “party houses” in the Heights don’t respond to neighbors’ complaints. Perhaps he’d be less surprised if he were aware many landlords in the area can’t be found even in the cases of leaking sewage and gas leaks.

Nonetheless, Wyatt’s determi-nation to improve the situation in the Heights is admirable – even if he cares more about noise vi-olations and litter (but serious-ly, every student should be capa-ble of using a trash can) than the safety of students. The Universi-ty Heights needs all the attention it can get, even if it’s unlikely to

ever be good news. With every news article and

television feature bemoaning the state of the neighborhood, it be-comes increasingly difficult for UB to pretend that the Heights doesn’t exist – and that it’s not their problem.

Because it is UB’s problem. It’s their students – many of

whom are international students, paying higher tuition than their in-state compatriots – who are living in unsafe conditions. It’s their students who deserve pro-tection.

A 24/7 “drunk bus” is a fan-tastic deterrent from drunk driv-ing that allows UB to maintain some control and authority over its partying population, and it’s all

fine and good that students can use school-supplied Porta Pot-ties instead of crouching behind dumpsters. But UB needs to at-tend to the vulnerable students who remain in the Heights after all the fun’s been had.

It’s those students who deserve to have their voices heard in news articles. It’s students being as-saulted and robbed who merit at-tention from the Buffalo Police. Students living in houses with-out water or heat, with unsafe wiring and unreliable landlords – this should be the story splashed across newspapers and generat-ing debate online.


Fight for your right to safetyFocusing on underage drinking in the Heights distracts from more important issues

On Sunday, the Internet ex-ploded.

Nude photos of dozens of fe-male celebrities including Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence, Kirst-en Dunst, McKayla Maroney and Ariana Grande were released on-line by a yet-to-be-announced anonymous hacker.

The reaction was immediate, dramatic and disturbing.

Starting with obvious: the per-petrators of this crime need to be caught immediately. Prosecu-tion in cases like this has been successful: Christopher Chaney, who hacked into the accounts of Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis (as well as two other non-celebrity women – “everyday” women are victims of hacking, too, and deserve acknowledg-ment here), was caught and sen-tenced to 10 years in prison in 2012.

This sort of behavior abso-lutely merits a zero tolerance policy, in order to send the mes-

sage that even if it becomes triv-ialized in message boards and joked about online, there’s noth-ing humorous about the invasion of privacy and denial of female agency that the release of these photos constitutes.

There’s little to editorialize about those responsible for the publication of these images. But the behavior of online users in the wake of the photos’ release is just as troublesome, and it illu-minates the increasing immorali-ty on display on social media and message boards.

The Internet is a fascinating place, a treasure-trove of infor-mation and entertainment and part of its merit is rooted in the freedom it offers. But, not sur-prisingly, the limitless nature of the online world comes with a cost, and oftentimes what is ex-pended amidst absolute accessi-bility is respect, morality and ba-sic human decency.

Even before this photo scan-dal, recent events brought to

light the questionable ethics made permissible, and almost unquestionable, by the anonym-ity and ensuing (ironic) priva-cy the Internet provides. In the wake of Robin Williams’ death – his daughter Zelda was tor-mented on Twitter until she shut down her account, according to The New York Times – and users flocked to view video footage of the beheading of American jour-nalist James Foley.

The response to these photos did little to differentiate from the trend. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton helped spread the photos, a decision he said he now regrets, users on 4Chan and Reddit hag-gled over the images, proposing trades and making bitcoin offers, while Google searches for Jenni-fer Lawrence, one of the hacking victims, skyrocketed. The behav-ior of the Internet populace sug-gests that any discomfort with the images’ origins could not compete with the curiosity they generated.

And with curiosity came hyp-ocritical proclamations, as users denounced the existence of the images they had searched for and perused, critiquing the individ-uals whose nude bodies they’d looked at for taking the photos in the first place.

Echoing many of the more high-and-mighty reactions on-line, The New York Times tech col-umnist Nick Bilton took to Twit-ter to suggest that prevention of unwanted eyes from nude selfies was simple. His advice: “1. Don’t take nude selfies 2. Don’t take nude selfies 3. Don’t take nude selfies.”

But more appropriate sugges-tions that don’t sound like clas-sic victim blaming may read, “1. Don’t steal nude selfies. 2. Don’t share and attempt to sell nude selfies. 3. Don’t look at stolen nude selfies.”

If we come up to you, please talk to us.

We are trying to show how diverse each individual on this enormous campus is – more than just a number lost in the crowd. UB is overflowing with students from all over the globe. Each one of us has our own story. Just like a fingerprint, not one of us is exactly alike.

The Spectrum is not the first place to do this. I have based the structure of Humans of UB on Brandon Stanton’s “Humans of New York.”

Next-gen consoles are becoming the norm and they’re hungry for this fall’s big games

JORDAN OSCAR SENIOR ARTS EDITOR

They’re big; they’re mostly black – for now – and they’re hungry for new games to truly unleash their power.

Yes, sadly our summers have come to an end and with it another season of games to keep our newly unpackaged, game crazed machines at bay.

This summer’s big games like Wolfen-stein and Watch Dogs were enough to keep most gamers and new consoles busy and allowed people who haven’t taken the plunge into ‘the next generation of gam-ing’ to have some fun.

Revamped and updated versions of some of 2013’s hottest games like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 edition of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls and the critical-ly lauded The Last of Us PlayStation 4 ex-clusive Remastered edition rewarded those who dove in head first.

But like the Cookie Monster craves cookies, our consoles crave games.

And real gamers know the months leading up to Christmas pack a horde of heavyweight titles. These are the games that will have our consoles roaring like li-ons while singing “Jingle Bells” with bar-baric yawps between belches of pump-kin spice lattés at Starbucks. Be sure to in-clude your “PC master race” friends when you’re cruising through this fall’s biggest games.

Now, quickly before any more of these games get delayed – Evolve, I’m looking at you – here are the must-have games for this fall and holiday season:

Game: DestinyDeveloper: Bungie – of Halo fameRelease: Sept. 9 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 (PS3) and PS4

On Tuesday, Sept. 9, Destiny will finally come out. And as one of the most highly

anticipated titles for the past few years, it will officially kick off the start to this fall’s onslaught of releases.

Bungie might not be making Halo any-more, but they certainly haven’t stopped making games that excite millions around the world. Over the summer, over 4.6 mil-lion people got a taste of Destiny across the game’s multiple betas, which should make for an exciting release day.

The newest of Bungie’s standout titles packs an always expanding and chang-ing online world that embraces the online connectivity of gamers and their thirst for action-packed adventures.

As a guardian, a defender of the last safe city on Earth, players choose from multiple classes and explore a destroyed earth and other planets within the solar system to prevent humanity’s destruction.

Game: Sunset OverdriveDeveloper: Insomniac Games – the mak-ers of Rachet and Clank and Resistance, two PlayStation exclusive series. Release Date: Oct. 28, exclusively for Xbox One

For Xbox One owners, Sunset Over-drive is a slam-dunk. This must have title is from a developer best known for their crazy weapons and inventive worlds. The aesthetics look like a DreamWorks ani-mated film designer on too much caffeine designed them – a fitting problem con-sidering players fight characters that have overdosed on an energy drink.

Sunset Overdrive takes place in the dys-topian Sunset City in 2027. With focused combat and movement built for the most experienced free-running parkour experts, this game already looks like an absolute blast.

Game: The Crew Developer: Ubisoft – trust me, you’ve heard of themRelease Date: Nov. 11 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC

Want to take a joy ride across the Unit-ed States in minutes? Or jump from a race in Los Angeles, California to an off-road event in Kansas? If so, The Crew is for you.

The Crew takes the craziness of many

popular racing games, including Need for Speed, Dirt and Test Drive Unlimited, meld-ing them into adrenaline packed, high-oc-tane experience. It looks fun alone, but packs a host of online features that will make playing with your friends even bet-ter. It’s time to form your own crew.

Game: Assassins Creed: Unity Developer: Ubisoft – told you, you’ve heard of themRelease Date: Nov. 11 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC

This is a game that will make divers glad they took the plunge. Coming off the coat tails of Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag – arguably the best game in the series yet – Unity throws players into the stunning and politically tumultuous French Revolu-tion in Paris, but doesn’t leave them alone for long.

That’s right, Assassins Creed is finally packing cooperative play and the result might just trump the pirate infested open seas of Black Flag.

Where as the last generation exclusive Assassins Creed: Rogue has players hunting a disorganized and fractured Assassins organization, the next gen exclusive title promises Unity.

Game: Far Cry 4 Developer: Ubisoft, making a third ap-pearance on this list – heard of them, yet?Release Date: Nov. 18 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4 and PC

Players became entranced in the lus-cious, and often dangerous, open world of Far Cry 3 as they tumbled down the rabbit whole to discover “the defini-tion of insanity.” As crazy and adrena-line packed as moments in Far Cry 3 and its ridiculous stand-alone expansion Blood Dragon were; Far Cry 4 looks even crazier.

Screenshots of players riding an ele-phant and charging an enemy encamp-ment was one of the first things that grabbed gamers’ attention. Further chaos of enraged rhinos, bloody melee kills and the stunning Shangri-La landscape have only made this game look ever more im-pressive, dark and entertaining than its al-ready crazy predecessor.

What was once a plot of grass will soon be a flourishing garden dedicated to remembering and honoring victims and survivors of domestic violence.

The Erie County Commission on the Status of Women (ECC-SW), which helps women take control of their lives, is work-ing to create the Tribute Garden at Isle View Park in Tonawanda, New York. The Garden will be a memorial to lives impacted by do-mestic violence and will serve as a place for the general public to learn about domestic violence.

Construction is set to begin on Sept. 8 and the ECCSW will ded-icate the donor tribute walls – the first phase of construction – at the fifth annual Break the Cy-cle Bike-A-Thon Sept. 27. Sawrie Becker, executive director of ECCSW, said they are hoping to have the garden complete by Sep-tember 2015.

“Domestic violence is about power and control,” Becker said. “I’m committed to this topic be-cause I feel very strongly about helping women and young girls take control over their own lives.”

The ECCSW created the Break the Cycle Bike-A-Thon to bring attention to domestic violence.

Over the past three years, ECC-SW raised nearly $7,000 from the bike-a-thon to help with the con-struction of the garden. About $25,000 of county funds went into the project.

“We hope that this wall will be the light against the darkness sur-rounding this topic and that the victims’ lives will be remembered with love, dignity and respect,” Becker said.

The Tribute Garden will have two main walls. The donor wall will have the names of the cor-porate and individual donors who donated money for the gar-den, and the tribute wall will have messages and inspirational quotes dedicated to the victims of do-mestic violence. It’s $300 to en-grave a brick and $200 to engrave

a stone. In New York State, 44 percent

of female homicide victims were killed by their partner, accord-ing to the Erie County Coalition Against Family Violence’s web-site.

One out of every four girls and one out of every nine boys are victims of domestic violence, ac-cording to Becker.

“Realizing that in less than a year there will be something per-manent to honor these people is very motivating and empower-ing,” said Minahil Khan, who in-terned for the group in the sum-mer of 2013.

The junior political science and communication major helped or-ganize the annual bike-a-thon to

get sponsorships for the Tribute Garden.

“Seeing the direct impact on people the day of the bike-a-thon and hearing the survivors’ stories was an important experience,” Khan said. “You’re giving people a platform to speak and hoping that others will step up and share their voice.”

At a young age, Khan was in-terested in law school and wanted to work on women’s issues.

Now, as the student represen-tative of the UB Council, hopes to work with the other council members to bring awareness of domestic violence and sexual as-sault prevention to campus.

After her summer with the group, Khan reached out to Dan-iel Loebell, a senior Asian studies major with a minor in global gen-der studies, to get him involved with ECCSW. Loebell, who has a strong interest in gender activism, chose to intern for ECCSW this summer as a way to further pur-sue his passion.

“It’s [domestic violence] not just a woman’s issue, it’s every-one’s issue,” Loebell said. “It af-fects people in a long-term, trau-matic way.”

As an intern with ECCSW, Loe-bell helped write grant applica-tions and plan the construction for the garden. Scott Lawn Yard,

a certified women-owned business enterprise in New York, won the contract to build the garden.

“When I learned about the projects being implemented in Erie County, it’s helped me gain a different perspective, especially coming from a privileged lifestyle myself,” Loebell said.

This year, the fifth annual Bike-a-Thon will be held Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. It will include a poetry reading by a survivor of domestic violence and perfor-mances by the Buffalo Chips and the Royal Pitches.

ECCSW is expecting between 250 and 300 people to partici-pate in the Bike-A-Thon. The price for children to participate is $8, adults are $15 and families of four are $30. Participants can reg-ister on the Tribute Garden web-site.

Khan urges students to edu-cate themselves on domestic vi-olence and how prevalent it is in the community.

“The earlier we start talking about domestic violence with teenagers, the closer we are to breaking the cycle,” Becker said.

ECCSW hopes their Bike-A-Thon, Tribute Garden and fun-draising will help to further pro-mote that education.


GROWING REMEMBRANCELives affected by domestic violence to be honored with Tribute Garden

EMMA JANICKISENIOR FEATURES EDITOR

We all learned that pink is the cool-girl color from Mean Girls but, in fact, most of the coolest girls around know nothing can be the “new” black – black is black. Black on black is often forgot-ten as new trends and patterns emerge, but time and time again, major style icons remind us that

wearing all black is the chicest combination possible.

For the next few weeks, I’ll bring you inspiration from some lesser-known style icons that rocked all-black looks, exuding cool at every turn.

This week is Juliette Gréco: a French singer who dated Miles Davis, was friends with Jean-Paul Sartre (he wrote a few songs for her) and Simone de Beauvoir and

who was arrested by the Gestapo as a minor in 1943.

According to The Guardian, Sartre once wrote, “Gréco has a million poems in her voice. It is like a warm light that revives the embers burning inside of us all. It is thanks to her, and for her, that I have written songs. In her mouth, my words become pre-cious stones.”

She lived a life that is almost un-believable – how could all these things have happened to one per-son?

Gréco, now aged 87, is still singing and still looking utterly chic and cool in all black.

Her style has become iconic for artsy-chic ladies. She wore heavy black eyeliner, over-sized black tuxedo jackets and loose-fitting black trousers, often donated to her by male friends.

Finding inspiration in old-er styles is never about copying them exactly; rather one must up-date and personalize the style to make it fresh and modern. By in-corporating modern trends like (vegan) leather, nearly-legging styles of pants and lighter make-up, you can bring your version of Gréco up to date.

In this photo, Gréco is crouch-ing on a wall in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a neighborhood in the historically avant-garde Left Bank area of Paris. She frequented ca-fés in the area, becoming one of the most photographed girls of the time. Dressed in a long black overcoat, with dark colored trou-

sers and bulky shoes, Gréco ex-udes cool. Both effortless and masculine, this outfit draws atten-tion to her lovely bone structure, highlighted by haphazard bangs.

In true French fashion, it doesn’t look like she gives a damn about anything.

And there’s nothing better than an adorable little wiener dog, yawn-ing like he also doesn’t give a damn.

To emulate Gréco, I paired a vegan leather blazer – appropri-ately purchased at an H&M in Paris about four years ago – with a crisp black button-up from H&M, loose black trousers from Ann Taylor and chunky black brogues. Other photos of Gréco show her in flat-brimmed hats, so I topped my head off with my trusty black bowler from Forever 21.

To bring Gréco into your life, listen to “Déshabillez-moi” or “Je suis comme je suis” and put on some oversized black clothes and maybe, just maybe, an existential philosopher will write a song just for you.

Last year’s Bike-a-Thon at Isle View Park in Tonawanda brought the commu-nity together to raise money for the construction of the Tribute Garden and to raise awareness about domestic violence. The Tribute Garden will be dedi-cated at the fifth annual Bike-a-Thon on Saturday, Sept. 27.

TOM DINKISENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

When Shawn Burke served as as-sistant coach of the women’s soc-cer team, he specialized in oversee-ing Buffalo’s defense. Through his first four games as head coach of the Bulls, Buffalo has not allowed a single goal.

The Bulls (3-0-1) are undefeated through their first four games with Burke as head coach and their de-fense has been a catalyst for their success. If Buffalo doesn’t allow a goal in the first four minutes of its next game, then a program record for longest shutout streak to start a season (384 minutes) will be set.

“There’s definitely a familiarity there with the team concept,” Burke said. “Instead of doing it with indi-viduals, we defend as a group and we can be much more successful.”

Freshman goalkeeper Laura Dougall has been defending Buf-falo’s net. Dougall has the longest shutout streak for a freshman in program history (380 minutes) and received Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Week hon-ors Aug. 25.

Dougall said communication with her defenders has been the key

to her success.“The three key things are cover,

pressure and balance,” Dougall said. “You obviously can’t do that with-out a team working together and communicating with one another.”

Burke has been impressed with Dougall’s confidence and maturity. Burke said the freshman goalkeeper has confidence because of her abil-ities and that confidence has spread to her teammates.

“You just never know how 18-year-old freshmen are going to handle the speed of the game and the pressure of being a No. 1 goal-keeper at this level,” Burke said. “I think that’s probably what’s im-pressed us the most, is you would have thought she was a senior with her mentality and the way she comes in.”

She is confident because her teammates have made her and the other freshmen feel comfortable and included on the team. Junior defender Jackie Hall and senior de-fender Sophie Therien calm her down during the game.

Dougall said her adrenaline starts running when she gets the ball in her hands and is looking to pass or kick it out to her teammates. Hall and Therein will then yell, “‘OK, Laura, calm down, calm down,

you’re good,’” according to Dou-gall.

“As soon as I hear that I’m OK, I’m back to my normal state being comfortable with everything,” she said.

Both Hall and Therien moved to the center back position this season. Despite their unfamiliarity with the position, Burke said the two are the best center back pairing Buffalo has had in his time with the team. He commended their physical style of play and said the pair “brings that soccer savvy.”

The defense has been successful because they haven’t asked Dougall

“to do all too much,” according to Burke.

He said the pressure has been kept off the defense because the of-fense has improved at possessing the ball. Buffalo has outshot its op-ponent in every game this season, including a 36-11 advantage in a 2-0 win over Canisius (1-3) on Aug. 24.

Despite out possessing their op-ponents, the Bulls have scored just four goals this season. The lack of goal scoring concerns Burke and is what the team wants focus on in its last three games before conference play.

“We’re getting numbers in the at-tack, we’re getting players forward, we’re getting quality looks, now we just need to have an end result,” Burke said. “We’d much rather be winning three or 4-0 than squeaking out 1-0 wins.”

Four different players have scored Buffalo’s goals this sea-son, including senior forward Ka-tie Roberts, who scored the team’s game-winning goal in a 1-0 victo-ry over Drexel (1-2) Aug. 31. Burke is confident in the team’s offensive depth, saying “there’s no reason we couldn’t have six or seven play-ers on this team with more than five goals.”

Buffalo has three road games be-fore the MAC season begins. Improv-ing goal scoring in that time might not be easy, as one of those games will be against Virginia Tech (4-0), ranked No. 5 in the country, Sept. 12.

The team is motivated to contin-ue its shutout streak.

“We take a lot of pride in that,” Burke said. “When you don’t con-cede goals you’re always going to give yourself a chance to win.”

The Bulls play at Niagara (2-0) this Sunday at 7 p.m.


Women’s soccer looks to continue defensive dominanceBulls have not allowed goal in 3-0-1 start to season

ANDY KONIUCHSPORTS EDITOR

After taking a 21-0 lead over Football Championship Subdivi-sion (FCS) Duquesne in its sea-son opener last week, the foot-ball team allowed the Dukes to rally back into the game with turnovers and mental mistakes.

Buffalo recovered to win 38-28, but the Bulls know they might not get away with such mistakes against a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team at Army this Saturday.

“We need to do a better job communicating and making bet-ter decisions,” said head coach Jeff Quinn. “That was certain-ly something [last week] that we can’t afford to let happen [against Army].”

The Bulls (1-0) look to get their first 2-0 start since 1983 – and their first in the Division I era, which began in 1999 – when they go on the road Saturday to face the Black Knights. Army hasn’t played this season but fin-ished in 2013 with a 3-9 record.

Buffalo held the Dukes to just 51 rushing yards last week. The Bulls’ run defense will be chal-lenged by first-year Army head coach Jeff Monken’s triple-op-tion offense, which features three different players posing a threat of running the ball on a given play.

Monken was FCS Georgia

Southern’s head coach last year. The Eagles upset Florida 26-20 in the final game of the season without completing a single pass.

Army’s offense features Ter-ry Baggett and Larry Dixon, two senior running backs that ran for more than 700 yards and aver-aged more than 6 yards a carry last season.

“Army is very unique – the way they run the ball is different from just about any other school,” said

Kristjan Sokoli, a senior defen-sive lineman. “Their offensive line plays a lot lower, they come off almost like defensive linemen – but it’s a new challenge and we just have to respond.”

The Knights’ senior quarter-back, Angel Santiago, is also a threat to run. Santiago threw for 597 yards and two touchdowns last season and ran for 598 yards and had a team-high 10 rushing touchdowns.

Buffalo might welcome Ar-my’s lack of a pass offense, as it allowed 322 passing yards to Duquesne last week.

The Bulls’ pass offense was aided last week by the emer-gence of junior wide receiv-er Ron Willoughby. The 6-foot-4 receiver was able to overpower Duquesne’s smaller cornerbacks, setting a personal record of 10 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns.

Buffalo might have to rely on its other receivers to have a more balanced offense.

The Bulls go into the game without much scouting knowl-edge of the Black Knights.

“We don’t know much about Army,” Quinn said. “We’ve seen their players from last year, but it’s a brand new coaching staff and they didn’t play last week. So we’ve been piecing where each coach comes from.”

Sokoli looks forward to shar-ing the field with Army, as the players on the other side are training for a much different ca-reer than most at UB.

“I’m very thankful for what [the U.S. army] does for our country,” Sokoli said. “I appreci-ate their support very much and it’s an honor to be on the field with them. Those guys are great competitors – it will be an hon-or.”

In 2005, while coaching for Central Michigan, Quinn played West Point.

Quinn said competing against our armed forces was “more than just football – it went be-yond the field.”

The game kicks off at noon in West Point, New York and will be shown on CBS Sports Net-work.


Triple threat Buffalo looks to stop Army’s triple-option and get first 2-0 start since joining Division I

OWEN O’BRIEN (1-0)@OWENOBRI

Army

Buffalo won’t have enough possessions to

make up for stalls like last week. Army will con-

trol the clock enough for a one-score victory.

ANDY KONIUCH (1-0)@ANDYKONIUCH

Buffalo

Last week was frightening, but the Bulls did domi-nate early. I think the team will be more focused going into Saturday. I’m calling a three-point game in Buffalo’s favor.

JORDAN GROSSMAN (1-0) @JORDANMGROSSMAN

Army

It comes down to vulnerable defenses. The Bulls are going to have more trouble handling Army’s unique triple-option attack.

TOM DINKI (1-0) @TOMDINKI

Arm

Buffalo held the Dukes to 51 yards rushing last week. They won’t do the same against Army’s tri-ple-option. Can’t trust the Bulls after last week.

COURTESY OF ARMY ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS

The Bulls will have to try to contain Army senior quarter-back Angel Santiago on Saturday. Santiago had a team-high 10 rushing touchdowns last season.
