Will Gadd and Sarah Hueniken became the first people to ice climb Niagara Falls on Jan. 27. The pair of ice climbers as-cended 148 feet up overhanging ice that formed on the left side of Horseshoe Falls, the largest of three falls that make up Niagara Falls.

“Nobody is ever going to see that view of the ice,” Gadd said. “It’s a wild place.”

At the top of the waterfall, Gadd, 47, and Hueniken, 34, watched 600,000 gal-lons of water fall every second 170 feet over Horseshoe Falls with a force of about 2,500 tons. Gadd said he could reach out and touch the falling water with his ice tool.

“It’s a rare thing,” Gadd said. “[The wa-ter] was right there.”

The enormous amount of roaring wa-ter is what attracts over 20 million visitors a year to Niagara Falls. While most vis-itors come during the summer months, the winter offers an icy alternative.

Cold winter air causes mist spraying from the waterfalls to freeze and form ice walls and formations along the base of the waterfall. Due to especially harsh win-ter conditions this season, Niagara Falls is mostly frozen and has developed spectac-ular ice formations.

This frozen mist formed the wall which Gadd, a Canadian ice climber and para-glider who was named as National Geo-graphic’s 2014-15 Adventurer of the Year, and Hueniken, a professional ice climber, scaled.

“Mr. Gadd’s achievements are very in-spirational,” said Brian Johnson, a junior communication major. “He is pushing the boundaries of ice climbing.”

Gadd worked for eight months to get

permission from Niagara Falls State Park to climb the waterfall. Red Bull sponsored Gadd and helped organize the climb. Gadd made four trips to Niagara Falls, talking to New York State Park and local police, go-ing through the legalities of the climb, at-taining a permit for the climb and deter-mining a safe spot to make the ascent.

While visiting the Falls over the sum-mer, Gadd chose the spot he would climb based on the terrain. He said the ice need-ed to “stick to the wall and not kill me.”

“It’s the coolest thing you can see: ‘I’m going to climb that’,” Gadd said. “There’s nothing else out there that looked that cool to me.”

Niagara Falls State Park is made up of three waterfalls – Horseshoe, Ameri-

can and Bridal Veil falls. Horseshoe Falls, where Gadd made his historic ascent, has a brink length of 2,600 feet, making it one of the largest waterfalls in the world.

“I am impressed we’ve had such an ac-complished athlete showcase his skill in our area,” said Kevin Van Hine, a fresh-man environmental engineering major.

Every ice climber has thought about climbing Niagara Falls – his team was just the first to ask, according to Gadd.

“You see the pictures on TV of when it gets really cold, and you’re interested,” Gadd said. “When [Red Bull] approached me about it like, ‘Hey could you maybe do that?’ I was immediately in.”

When Jason Young’s car was broken into in Southern California, the respond-ing police officer was more interested in Young’s lack of a criminal record than Young’s missing stereo.

“You mean to tell me we haven’t got you yet?” the officer asked him after run-ning Young’s information through the system.

When Young said he’d only been in California for two weeks after moving there to begin graduate school, the offi-cer was relived. He said, “Oh you just got here. That’s why we haven’t got you yet.”

Young, now a UB history professor, said a lot of interactions between police and black people are “already scripted.”

“That kind of script between law en-forcement and Africans Americans is his-torical,” Young said. “It’s developed histori-cally. In a way we’ve all been screenwriters.”

Young and other history professors, Victoria Wolcott and Carole Emberton, hosted a discussion panel on racial profil-ing, violence and police brutality entitled “#blacklivesmatter” on Wednesday after-noon in Norton Hall. Approximately 30 people, most of whom were students, at-tended the symposium and participated in the discussion.

Approximately 500 students were forced out of Red Jacket Hall, one of the six quadrangles in the Ellicott Complex, Wednesday after a frozen sprinkler head caused a power outage.

Cold temperatures caused a sprinkler line to break and drip water into an elec-trical room, which damaged a single pan-el that shut down the electricity and heat in the building Wednesday around 7 a.m. Power returned around 11 p.m. that night and students were allowed to re-enter building early Thursday morning.

“The University’s Emergency Plan was activated and within several hours and ar-rangements were made to house up to 500 students in Alumni [Arena] Triple Gym,” said UB Chief of Police Gerald Schoen-le in an email.

Students who spoke with The Spectrum said they were mostly satisfied with how UB accommodated them after the power outage. Only some wished they had been notified of the mandatory evacuation in a better way.

Students were mandated to vacate Red Jacket by 9 p.m. Wednesday night due to safety concerns.

“No lights except for stairwell. No pow-er. No elevators. No heat. Not safe,” said Dennis Black, vice president for Universi-ty Life and Services.

UB provided around 500 cots through the American Red Cross and Erie Coun-ty emergency services inside the Triple Gym, and University Police patrolled the

gym throughout the night. Schoenle said UPD had three officers and a supervisor, as well as 18 Campus Living staff mem-bers on duty. The gym can hold up to 1,000 people, according to Schoenle.

Media was not allowed inside to take photos on Wednesday night.

“Because it’s a bedroom,” Black said. “We don’t invite people into your bedroom in Red Jacket and we don’t invite people into your bedroom in the Triple Gym.”

Busing was provided to students from Red Jacket to Alumni Arena so they could grab their belongings. The housing of stu-dents in the Triple Gym did not affect the women’s basketball team’s game against Kent State in the main gym of Alumni Are-na, which was played as scheduled at 7 p.m.

One student, who slept in Alumni Wednesday night said she expected the experience to be bad, but said it was actu-ally comfortable. Wenyi Fan, a senior bio-logical sciences major, said it was cold in-side the gym.

Only about 50 of the approximate-ly 500 students displaced slept in Alumni Arena, however, as many students stayed with friends in other residence halls or apartments.

“I’d rather be more comfortable than sleeping in a cot,” said Brian Hiciano, a sophomore exercise science major who slept in a friend’s apartment. “I’d rather be staying with a friend with actual com-pany than just sleeping by random peo-ple.”

This university may not can-cel classes as often as students would like, but at least they man-age to make sub-zero tempera-tures enjoyable every now and then.

With its sixth-annual Winter-fest following the decades-long tradition of winter festivals, UB once again established that snow and ice isn’t all bad – and that students here occasionally man-age to enjoy Buffalo’s admitted-ly unenjoyable winters.

Student Life, which organized Saturday’s event, does an admira-ble job of offering activities that appeal to university students, like the ever-popular broomball and the more traditional ice skating and snowman building.

Offering free food at Win-terfest – the trendy “chili in a bag” – is also a savvy move by event organizers, because argu-ably nothing attracts college stu-dents quicker than complimenta-ry snacks.

Equally important, the more

competitive games help students stay warm out on the ice and in the snow.

Winterfest may seem like a simple opportunity to have some free fun – and it is – but it’s also a useful break in the tedium of trudging through snow and curs-ing the weather. Helping stu-dents remember that winter can be fun, with a little effort, is an admirable task, done well by Stu-dent Life.

The festival cost around $3,000, according to the co-chair for the event. Funded in part by Campus Living, Winter-fest is also paid for with students’ mandatory activity fee. Events like this one, which don’t carry a hefty price tag, are an appealing use of such fees.

But it does demonstrate the ongoing issue at the heart of the activity fee. Though the festi-val was easily accessible for stu-dents living on North Campus, or who happened to be on cam-pus that Saturday, students living

on South Campus or in neigh-boring areas were simply left out in the cold – or in this case, left out of it.

Offering some smaller-scale activities on South Campus could help include students liv-ing in the Heights areas, and in the dorms on the campus, while also promoting the festival’s main events.

Because despite the largely positive reviews from students who participated in Winterfest activities, there simply weren’t that many students who joined in – attendance numbered in the hundreds.

Like last year, when about 400 students participated, the festival didn’t attract large numbers of students – which is a shame.

In order to justify the cost and get more students to take advan-tage of the event, more promo-tion is needed – advertising ex-citing prizes and competitive ac-tivities could help draw more students to the festival.

Equally important, increased accessibility would improve at-tendance.

The festival ran from noon to 10:00 p.m. this year, an improve-ment from last year’s brief, five-hour span. Offering activities on more than one day would also make it easier for more students to attend.

If Winterfest could occur on a Friday and Saturday, students who commute to North Campus for their classes would have the opportunity to participate.

The event’s organizers have ex-pressed that they’d like to see in-creased attendance at Winterfest, and accomplishing that is entire-ly up to them. Student Life does a great job with Winterfest. The festival is consistently well orga-nized and greatly enjoyed – but only by the students fortunate enough to have the chance to at-tend.

Annual event offers plenty of cold-weather activities, but needs more students to enjoy themDespite attendance issues, Winterfest earns an A

A lone sprinkler and lot of cold weather managed to up-root more than 500 students from Red Jacket Hall last night, but UB officials largely respond-ed admirably to the unexpected and urgent situation.

The dormitory lost power and heat Wednesday morning when a dripping sprinkler line dam-aged an electrical panel. Later that day, when it became clear that even with power restored there might not be time to suf-ficiently reheat the building, stu-dents were mandated to leave the building by 9 p.m. Univer-sity officials were ready to relo-cate the dorm’s residents.

It’s reassuring to know that the university had a crisis con-tingency plan prepared in ad-vance and that officials are able to implement arrangements to relocate hundreds of students in a short time span.

Less reassuring is that a lone broken sprinkler, damaged by weather-related conditions com-mon to Buffalo, was able to take down an entire building’s elec-tricity and heat and force hun-dreds of students out of their rooms.

It was also frustrating that UB police tried to keep media out of the Triple Gym for what they

considered privacy purposes. UB is a public university and its students should have been able to make their own choices if they wanted to speak with reporters.

Even though it seems that this should have been an avoidable crisis, UB officials did commu-nicate with Red Jacket residents, notifying them about the situa-tion quickly. Even though the power was out, residents were not left in the dark.

Some students, however, re-ported resident advisers did not make rounds to rooms, a logi-cal move to ensure all residents were informed.

UB should have also sent out a campus-wide notification, so stu-dents intending to visit friends in Red Jacket or eat at Cross-roads Culinary Center, which also closed, could have adjusted their plans for the evening.

Ellicott Food Court and Gov-ernors Dining Hall remained open for additional hours, but the reduced options posed a potential inconvenience – one that students should have heard about as soon as possible.

Only around 50 students used the accommodations that UB of-fered in Alumni Arena’s Triple Gym. UB was clearly prepared

to handle an influx of hundreds of students, even though it was common knowledge many stu-dents wouldn’t be spending the night in Alumni.

For the students who did head to Alumni, the prospect of spending the night on cots in a gym may not have been ap-pealing, but UB officials did their best to make the experi-ence comfortable – and cost-ef-ficient.

Attempting to make spac-es available for all possible stu-dents in need at local hotels, for example, would have been ex-cessively expensive. In 2014, when a fire displaced 19 stu-dents from Spaulding 1, the uni-versity did fund temporary hotel stays for the residents.

But for a one-night span, and for an entire dormitory, offer-ing the Triple Gym was a logi-cal choice.

The food was nothing impres-sive – bagels, granola bars and apples aren’t exactly gourmet and more could have been done to offer students a wider variety of food, especially considering the inconvenience students ex-perienced.

Once UB realized that only about 50 students would be staying at Alumni, it wouldn’t

have been difficult to provide higher-quality food.

However, officials were atten-tive to some of students’ addi-tional needs and set up tables and chairs so students didn’t have to study on their cots.

Though clearly flawed, UB’s response was efficient and or-ganized, and thanks to the uni-versity’s preparedness, displaced residents were safe, sheltered and inconvenienced for only a brief period of time.

It’s worth noting there was also a great effort made by maintenance staff to resolve the situation in Red Jacket, as the problem was resolved by 7 a.m.

The response by UB was ef-fective but imperfect – future evacuations, should they occur, could be improved by campus-wide notifications and consid-eration of student feedback re-garding this event.

But arguably, this debacle nev-er should have happened. Main-tenance emergencies aren’t al-ways preventable, but issues of this scale shouldn’t stem from something as small as a sprin-kler and single electrical panel.

Album: If You’re Reading This, It’s Too LateArtist: DrakeLabel: Cash Money RecordsGrade: A-Release date: Feb. 13

Drake is fully aware he is a music icon, but beyond all the fame, he is a pure mu-sician.

On his newest project, If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late, Drake attempts to dif-ferentiate between his own larger-than-life musical persona and his artistry.

On Thursday night, six years after So Far Gone was released, Drake released his album-length mixtape If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late without warning.

When an artist as high profile as Drake

releases any sort of music, it’s bound to be analyzed to the nth-degree.

The day after the release, major news outlets, music magazines and social media sites were aflame trying to make sense of this ambitious, 17-track project.

For some, this was the same-old intro-spective Drake. His raps either center on dealing with fame (“Energy”) or finding women to sleep with (“Madonna”).

For these critics, this notion is true in a sense.

“I got two mortgages, 30 million in to-tal,” he sings in “Energy.”

“Pilled up, filled up damn girl / I’ll be getting back to you for sure, man man,” he raps on “Madonna.”

These songs feel like a recycled part of Drake’s earlier personas as similar lyri-cism across projects makes Drake’s work sometimes meld together into a single, cohesive artistic identity.

Even the first song, “Legend,” is Drake’s ode to his own crown.

For others, this mixtape marks a transi-tory point in Drake’s lyricism and career.

If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late signi-fies a pointed departure from Drake’s typ-ically misogynistic and materialistic lyr-ics – overall, the mixtape deals with these topics in a more substantive manner.

The lighter, pre-fame lyrics of Take Care and So Far Gone have been replaced with the heavy and oppressive solitude and personal distance of celebrity.

Drake is open and honest about his per-sonal struggles with mortality and fame behind closed doors in a way that colors this mixtape in dark shades.

“The first mil gonna change you / Change for the better, hit it then dead her / That’s my vendetta, keep this shit to-gether,” he raps on “Star67.”

This is what Drake wants the listeners to feel – this tension between worldwide

stardom and remaining an independent artist. This is best highlighted on standout songs like “Know Yourself,” and “Used To” when Drake tries to push the most crippling aspects of fame off his chest, and into the public spotlight.

“They never told me when you take the crown / It gon’ take some gettin’ used to / New friends all in their old feelings now / They don’t love you like they used to.”

Lyrics aside, the dark overall mood of the album is highlighted through the gor-geous low-end of the album.

Producer-in-residence Noah Shebib’s precise, heavy bass scores dominate al-most every track. On “6 Man” the rum-bling bass and drum rolls are glossed to a tee, matching Drake’s lyrical twist flaw-lessly. Additionally, guest producer PAR-TYNEXTDOOR is also featured with memorable, symphonic “Wednesday Night Interlude.”

Whether this mixtape was a statement of intent or a one-off musical experi-ment, Drake’s music is genuine.

The music is ripe with questions about celebrity, artistic veracity and human mor-tality. The sounds are diverse and tenta-tive. His experiments with his flow and delivery often feel like a master doing warm-ups.

If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late, as a whole, is a promising step forward for Drake in musical maturity. With the promise of this mixtape, Drake, hopeful-ly, is just honing his talent for his upcom-ing LP: Views From The 6.

Drake ultimately tells us what the mu-sic is about.

On “Jungle,” Drake sings about self-discovery, “I’m all over the place, I can’t sit in one place / I’m not ashamed at all / Still findin’ myself.”

When Jon Jeziorowski entered the Steel Mill Gym in Lackawanna weighing 202 pounds, he felt out of place. As he looked around at all the red equipment, rows of black cardio machines and free weights stacked against a wall of floor-to-ceil-ing mirrors, Jesiorowski couldn’t fathom where to begin.

Now, almost two years later, Jeziorows-ki is preparing for the Mr./Ms. Buffalo bodybuilding competition.

On March 14, Jeziorowski, a senior business major, will be competing for the second time in the physique bodybuild-ing competition in the men’s height class for men over 5-foot-6, up to and includ-ing 5-foot-8. Last year, Jeziorowski took fourth place in his class.

“I was chunkier. I was an oversized kid and was always unhappy with my-self,” Jeziorowski said. “I didn’t like how I looked and I always got teased.”

Jeziorowski said being overweight wasn’t the only thing that bothered him. He was stressed with balancing school-work, a part-time job and the duties of being a member of the Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity.

When he was stressed, he turned to eat-ing habits that made him feel constantly tired, even when he was getting the rec-ommended six hours of sleep.

Fatty and sugary foods can cause fa-tigue and create a feeling of being run-down. Heather Kearns, the undergraduate program director of exercise science, said these foods lead to weight gain and possi-ble health problems such as diabetes.

“When performed on a regular basis, exercise has been demonstrated to benefit

mental health, including improving con-centration, reducing tension, enhancing cognitive function and managing anxiety and depression,” Kearns said.

Physical activity and a healthy diet play an important role in the body’s ability to manage stress. Exercise is a natural mood booster – the smallest amount of exercise can have beneficial effects on mood and stress levels, according to Kearns.

Jezioroski decided to seek out a fitness train-er. Once Jeziorowski met his trainer, Scott Quinn, he was instantly motivated.

Quinn started training when he was 20 years old and has been helping others for six years. He currently works at the Steel Mill Gym.

When Quinn and Jeziorowski first met, it was clear to Quinn that Jeziorowski was lost, unconfident and looking for that one moment that would help change his life forever.

“You see Jon walking around two or three years ago, he was a heavy set and de-pressed,” Quinn said. “He had this look on his face and you could feel it.”

Today, Quinn has Jeziorowski on a meal plan and exercise routines in order to pre-pare for the competition. For Quinn, hav-ing a consistent, healthy diet is important in maintaining muscle and body weight. He said nutrition should be an important factor in every student’s diet.

Quinn’s own work is evident in his built body. He eats two-dozen egg whites for breakfast, as well as either fish, steak or chicken for dinner to get even more protein.

Quinn didn’t always look like a bodybuild-er. He faced struggles with his weight grow-ing up, something Jeziorowski relates to.

“When I was 11, I was of a heavier youth,” Quinn said. “My father got me a paper route, I started running, lost all

the weight and he bought me an Olympic weight set when I was 12.”

Their common background helps Jezi-orowski feel motivated.

Jeziorowski decided to join Mr./Ms. Buffalo last year. Quinn has entered the past five years.

Mr./Ms. Buffalo was once hosted at UB in 2013, but is now held at First Niagara Center due to expansion.

“As I got further along [with training], he would start talking about Mr. Buffa-lo since he was competing and getting ready,” Jeziorowski said.

Quinn inspired Jeziorowski. He made him set a goal and after 10 months Jezi-orowski wanted to step on stage.

“I wanted to lose the weight, I want to look good,” Jeziorowski said. “He told me if I put my full heart and motivation into it, ‘I can make this happen for you.’ I’m just reaching to be happy and being com-fortable with myself.”

Quinn described his first show in 2010 as “crazy.” He felt like a novice and was surprised at how big the bodybuilding in-dustry was.

Both trainer and trainee will be compet-ing in this year’s competition.

While preparing for the Mr./Ms. Buffa-lo competition, Jeziorowski shares insights about the benefits of nutrition and fitness to his fraternity brothers. The confidence and happiness that he has is a feeling peo-ple want to feed off of, according to Quinn.

“You see Jon now, everyone wants to be his friend and shake his hand,” Quinn said. “It’s contagious. If people see that, they want to feed off of it. I believe Mr. Buffalo is growing because of that feeling.”

For Jeziorowski, his transformation is a proud accomplishment. Since first entering the Steel Mill Gym and deciding to change his life, his motivation has paid off.

Jesse Moses, a junior international stud-ies major, had to learn how to adjust to a campus of almost 30,000 students after leaving a school with half as many.

The Transfer Peer Mentor Program, also known as “Transfer Tuesdays,” helped Mo-ses adjust to the nerve-wracking first few days of figuring out the large campus and creating new friendships. The program, cre-ated in the fall of 2014 by the Orientation, Transfer and Parent Programs, pairs new transfer students with transfer students, known as mentors, at a casual meeting on the first Tuesday of every month.

“My first day at UB was somewhat over-whelming,” Moses said. “The campus is so large that finding my way around and learning what resources are in each build-ing was rather daunting – and that doesn’t even cover navigating the Stampede.”

Moses transferred from Monroe Com-munity College in Rochester, a school with more than 15,000 students.

When Moses heard about the program during the first week of orientation at the Transfer Tuesdays stand, she did not hesi-tate to sign up.

The first Tuesday of every month, Lind-sey Lambert, the coordinator of Transfer Tuesdays and a graduate student in the Stu-dent Affairs Master’s program, holds an in-formal mix and mingle event for transfer students to connect with one another, meet with their mentors and have their questions

answered. “There are snacks, music and prizes,”

Lambert said. “It’s a great opportunity to take a break during your week and hang out with other students who understand the transfer experience just like you.”

For example, during one Transfer Tues-day session, mentors presented ways in which students could reduce their stress for upcoming finals by reducing their cof-fee intake, joining yoga classes on campus and taking breaks between studying.

Moses said Transfer Tuesdays helped ease her transition to UB, has helped wel-come her into the new school and provid-ed ways for her to meet new friends.

“No matter where I go, I always run into at least one person I know,” Moses said. “It makes UB feel like home.”

For Moses, being part of the program has helped her feel more comfortable at UB, providing information about the campus, answering any transfer questions she may have and she’s developed a strong friendship with her mentor, Ashley Scott.

“Jesse is the best,” said Scott, a senior so-ciology major. “I consider her one of my very close friends that I’ve made here at UB and truly cherish her friendship. She is going to change the world someday.”

Scott and Moses were paired when Mo-ses signed up to the program on the UB-Linked website. To pair students, Lambert utilizes common academic and extracurric-ular interests.

Eric Niles, a senior economics major, sais he wished this program was present at the

time he transferred to UB from Union Col-lege in Schenectady, near Albany, New York.

“I do think being a mentor is reward-ing because I really wish I had one com-ing here,” Niles said. “I try my best to ease the troubles and offer help to people who may not know as much especially because I don’t want them to learn the way I did, the hard way.”

For Niles, adjusting to the large classes, finding ways to make new friends and trans-ferring credits were complicated for him.

“There were points that I just had to ask people how to do several things to fix what I originally did because I didn’t know how to do them correctly the first time,” Niles said. “Having a mentor would have defi-nitely helped.”

This program has helped new transfer students such as Moses discover more about the campus, events and students, informa-

tion that all incoming transfers could use to become accustomed to the large university.

“Connecting with [Transfer Tuesdays] has helped me join in on some of the quint-essential UB experiences – attending foot-ball games and cheering in the True Blue section, for example,” Moses said. “It has also given me many little tips along the way, from the best places to eat or where to find a quiet place to study to what free events are coming up and how to get around on the Stampede.”

The Transfer Tuesday group meets the first Tuesday of every month. The next meeting is scheduled for March 3 at 3:30 p.m. in 240 Student Union. There will be games, snacks and discussions among fel-low classmates who share this similar trans-fer experience.

The climb, which took an hour to com-plete, became a first for the Niagara Falls State Park, which has seen plenty of pro-fessional daredevils attempting to make history. Annie Taylor was the first person to go over the Falls, and survive, in 1901 and Nik Wallenda crossed the Falls on a tightrope in 2012.

Gadd’s climb wasn’t only for a place in the ice climbing history books. He helped the New York State Park Police learn about the area at the base of the Falls in the win-ter, a place no one but Gadd and Heuniken have explored.

This vital information of the frozen to-pography at the bottom will help the park police for when non-professional daredev-ils make “bad decisions right on the lip of the biggest waterfall on earth,” Gadd said.

In addition to being a professional ice climb-er, Gadd spends his time paragliding, rock climbing, mountain biking and Nordic and backcountry skiing. Gadd said he has a lot of “cool things” going on right now, including

upcoming trips to Antarctica and Greenland.In August, he completed the longest air

journey in a paraglide, traveling more than 400 miles down the spine of the Canadi-an Rockies.

Gadd will be returning to the Western New York area in May to run in Red Bull’s Wings for Life World Race, which donates 100 percent of the money raised to spinal cord research.

“I’m very lucky to live the life I do,” Gadd said.

Despite Gadd’s experience and skill, sometimes, nature takes hold of the situa-tion.

“I actually got a bucket of Niagara Falls down my neck when the water changed course a bit and hit me in the back of the head,” he said.

But he made it to the top as part of the first pair of people to ever scale the Horse-shoe Falls.

The panel aimed to give historical per-ceptive on the phrase “black lives mat-ter,” which has gained popularity in recent months in part due to the killings of black males Michael Brown and Eric Gardner. The American Dialect Society chose the hash tag form of the phrase as their word of the year in 2014.

“If black lives matter, black history mat-ters as well,” Wolcott said. “I think histori-ans have a contribution to make to the con-versation. The phrase black lives matter helps to bring up this history.”

Wolcott said Young, Emberton and herself felt they had something to say on the issue be-cause they all work on racial violence from dif-ferent perspectives. Emberton writes about the American Civil War, while Young and Wolcott focus on slavery and 20th century civil rights movements, respectively.

Wolcott said “black lives matter” helps put the humanity and vulnerability of black people at center of racial change. She said the thousands of black men, women and children who were murdered in the nine-teenth century need to be recognized as having mattered and contributed to the present moment.

Emberton said it’s important to remem-ber there are historical precedents to the “black lives matter” movement, such as Jo-siah Wedgewood’s 18th century anti-slavery medallions that read “Am I not a man and brother?” and the NAACP’s flag from the 1930’s that read “A man was lynched yes-terday.”

She said iconography runs through all three movements to bring about social re-form.

“You don’t need a picture. The words themselves become the image,” Emberton said.

Young said the term “black lives matter” has produced an incredible amount of po-litical and social activity, as well as backlash.

“If ‘black lives matter’ does anything like

suggest there are some issues with policing and violence in our communities, those are lessons we all need to take,” he said.

Young said although he felt like he need-ed to be part of the panel, he didn’t want to be part of it. He said part of him wants to react academically and intellectually to the issues of racial profiling and police brutal-ity, but the other part of him “just wants to react.”

He said the deaths of Brown, Gardner and Cleveland 12-year old Tamir Rice – all of whom were killed during interactions with police – seem like a “cycle.” He said he feels like he’s seen these incidents before.

“It’s not that Mike Brown is exceptional. It’s not that Darren Wilson is an exception-al villain in any way. It’s more the fact that these are daily, almost naturalized encoun-ters between regular people,” Young said. “The reason it galvanizes people so much is that these eerie, ghostly echoes are heard in these moments. People can identify them-selves in these particular moments.”

Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson Police officer Wilson on Aug. 9.

Young said it’s important to remem-ber that when names such as Brown’s and Gardner’s are mentioned, that people keep in mind those names also represent and re-flect larger issues and more victims.

The panel and students questioned why certain incidents and deaths become better known and covered more in the media than others.

Wolcott said it was important to have the discussion so students could voice their opinions because she said UB’s campus is slightly less active in the movement than some universities down state.

“This is really a movement of millennials, so a college campus seems kind of a natu-ral space to engage in those conversations,” she said.

Black said students were asked to no-tify their Resident Adviser (RA) where they were staying Wednesday night, so the university could make sure everyone was taken care of and so they could be contacted if conditions changed. Black admitted he thought every student prob-ably didn’t do so.

Schoenle said UPD had increased presence in Red Jacket throughout Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. Black said UPD and Campus Living officials did a sweep of the build-ing and there was staff in the building all night helping students receive their be-longings. Schoenle said if a student re-fused to leave the building, they could be referred to Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ), but officers patrolling Red Jack-et reported no problems.

Some students who spoke with The Spectrum were not satisfied with how they were notified or how they had to evacuate the building. An email was sent out to students that they must leave the building by 9 p.m., but some students were not able to see the email because there was no Internet connection in Red Jacket because of the power outage.

One student who wished to remain anonymous, said she was surprised that her RA’s did not come around to each individual room to notify students they had to leave by 9 p.m. She didn’t dis-cover she had to evacuate until around

7 p.m., after going to Lockwood Library to charge her laptop and two RA’s out-side Red jacket notified her.

“But had I not gone outside, I wouldn’t have known that,” she said. “I thought that was a little unprofessional because I had planned to stay inside. If I didn’t have to charge up I wouldn’t have come across them.”

She said signs could have been post-ed to notify students of the mandatory evacuation.

Alex Aponte, a sophomore exercise science major, said he too was unaware it was mandatory to leave Red Jacket, and was in the building past the 9 p.m. deadline to leave.

“I didn’t understand when we had to leave,” he said. “I was in my room at like 9:30.”

Crossroads Culinary Center (C3), a dining hall located in Red Jacket, was closed down due to the power outage Wednesday night. The Ellicott Food Court and Governors Dining Hall dou-bled personnel working at food stations and expanded service times. A designat-ed shuttle ran from Ellicott to Gover-nors Residence Hall from 4:45 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Students sleeping in Alumni were pro-vided “a boxed breakfast,” with a grape-fruit and a bagel. The water and power were not running in time for C3 to open for breakfast Thursday morning, but Black said C3 was fully staffed and oper-ational for dinner Thursday night.

Black also said instructors were ad-vised to accommodate students affected by the power outage.

The last time this many students were displaced was in 2006 during the Buffa-lo October storm. Approximately 900-1,000 students on South Campus were moved onto North Campus.

Aponte said he was not upset with UB for the power outage, saying “those things sort of happen,” and he was sur-prised he’d hadn’t seen a power outage happen in the dorms yet.

Hiciano said he hopes the university will prepare better in the future to en-sure a power outage does not happen again due to winter conditions.

“I just hope they would have prepped better for the cold and not having a pipe first considering we’re in Buffalo and you figured it would be cold and you take steps to make sure something like that doesn’t happen,” he said.

JORDAN GROSSMANSENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

Last season, the Buffalo men’s ice hock-ey team looked on in dismay as the selec-tion committee omitted the Bulls from the American Collegiate Hockey Associa-tion (ACHA) Tournament.

It’s understandable that the team was “apprehensive” this year during the selec-tion process because of recent history. But this time around, the sounds of grunts and moans were traded for screams of eager-ness and excitement when the team knew its season would be extended this year.

On Wednesday night, the Bulls (25-6-1) clinched the No.17 seed in the ACHA Men’s Division I National Champion-ships. The team has not made the tourna-ment – which will be hosted at the OBM Arena in Strongsville, Ohio beginning on March 5 – in nearly 12 years.

“We’re all excited. The kids worked real hard,” said head coach Sal Valvo. “We feel like we deserved it from our record this year, but we’re not satisfied with just mak-ing it to the tournament …We’ve been in the top-20 all year, as high as No.14. The top-15 is real strong, but we feel like we’re in the place we deserve to be.”

The team’s first game in the ACHA Championships will be against No.16 Col-orado.

Buffalo is currently No.1 in its confer-ence, the Northeast Collegiate Hockey League (NECHL), with 51 points, and is riding a five-game winning streak heading into the final weekend of regular season play. Despite three regular season games remaining, it will not affect its No.17 seed-

ing for the ACHA tournament. But Buffalo still plans on using the

weekend to prepare for the tournament.“We have to get used to playing at a

quicker speed,” Valvo said. “This week-end, the teams were playing are quick. We need to play [at a] higher pace to com-pete with the teams out west. If we de-feat Colorado, we have to play Arizona State, which has been the No. 1 team in the country for three years running.”

Valvo credits the entire team for the successful season, but specifically points out the upperclassman leaders of the team. Senior forward Brenden Robinson is second on the team with 40 points and is tied for the team lead with 16 goals on the season. Junior defenseman Sean Dun-gan is second on the team with 25 assists, while senior goalkeeper Tyler Stark holds a 12-4 record in the net this year.

But Valvo is also impressed with the un-derclassmen, especially sophomore for-ward Bobby Piotrowicz. The sophomore leads all players with 42 points on 16 goals and 26 assists.

But the road to getting to the tourna-ment wasn’t an easy one for the Bulls.

The ACHA – a non-profit organiza-tion that regulates low-budget ice hockey teams across the nation – is not a partner with the NCAA. And because the team is not a varsity program, it is not associat-ed with UB Athletics and players don’t re-ceive scholarships.

Most funds comes from the Student As-sociation and whatever money the team rais-es by itself. If it weren’t for the team’s con-strained budget, Valvo said the team could have achieved an even higher ranking.

“Funding and scheduling are our big-gest issues, and they go hand in hand,” Valvo said. “In order to be one of the top-ranked teams, you have to play the top-ranked teams. It’s hard for us to play teams like Arizona St. and Oklahoma; those are the top teams in the country.”

Valvo said the biggest change he’s seen with the program since he took over five years ago is the increase in talent.

“We struggled to get our name out there,” Valvo said. “Sometimes, when you

say club hockey, people have the wrong impression. We made it a point to get re-cruits to games to let them see what type of level we are. Once we get them out to a game, it changes their whole perspective on things.”

Valvo said it is difficult to recruit play-ers because it is hard to convince them to be part of a club team that cannot offer scholarships or usual perks of a Division I athlete. He said the team uses the school and its “economic standard” in order to recruit prospective players to the team.

He said the prosperity of the university is a selling point because what they can’t offer in money, they “offer a good and quality education with UB.”

Buffalo will play in the NECHL Cham-pionships from Feb. 20-22. The Bulls are expected to arrive in Ohio on March 4 af-ter practicing for the ACHA tournament for roughly one week. The team’s first game against No.16 Colorado on March 5 is set to begin at 4 p.m.

QUENTIN HAYNESSPORTS EDITOR

The Buffalo men’s lacrosse team ended the 2014 season with a loss to Connecti-cut, 6-5. After taking a 4-1 lead over the Huskies, the Bulls surrendered four goals in the second half. Connecticut ultimate-ly scored in overtime, eliminating Buffa-lo from the 2014 Pioneer Collegiate La-crosse League playoffs.

The season was disappointing for head coach Ryan Crawford, but he said the sea-son was something to build on.

“Last season, we failed to meet ex-pectations,” Crawford said. “However, I think the one thing we did was allow our

young players to improve, give them play-ing time, so that coming into this season, they’re ready to play.”

The Bulls open the 2015 season with a home game on Friday, March 6 against New Hampshire at Kunz Field. Buffa-lo had two games against Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech this weekend postponed due to weather.

The Bulls, who are a club team at the university, finished last season 7-7 overall and 1-4 in division play. Buffalo got off to a 3-0 start, but a mid-season swoon – los-ing six of its next eight games – resulted in the Bulls fighting for their playoffs lives in the final two games of the season.

The Bulls ultimately won their last two

games and made it to the playoffs. Crawford said that the midseason

swoon was an important learning lesson for the team last season, and something the players will remember heading into this season.

“We weren’t playing good on offense or defense,” Crawford said. “There were some close games in there against Cen-tral Florida and Boston College, but we just couldn’t close it out. In the end, I be-lieve we needed that because we needed that adversity. We don’t want to lose any games, but when we do, we want our play-ers to look at it as a learning experience.”

Offensively, the Bulls will look toward a new leading scorer, thanks to the depar-

ture of Ryan Sans. As a senior last season, Sans led the team in goals (21) and total points (27).

Crawford said replacing Sans will be a team effort.

“First off, we can’t just replace Ryan Sans,” Crawford said. “He was a valuable member to the team last year, not just on our offense. Instead of looking for one player to step into that role, we’ll have to rely on multiple players to step up and produce offensively.”

The most likely candidate is sophomore midfielder Pete Flood. As a freshman last season, Flood finished second on team with 13 goals and fifth in points with 16. Crawford called him “a key piece” in the team’s offensive attack this season.

Along with Flood, the Bulls return four of their top six scorers, including soph-omore midfielder Ben Ott and junior at-tacker Frank Leffier, creating a balanced offensive attack for next season.

“Bringing back our top two playmakers should be able to help us,” Crawford said. “In the midst of an offensive transition, Ben and Frank should be able to help cre-ate scoring opportunities, as well as get on the board themselves.”

Although the offense is a question mark going into the season, Crawford said that defense will be the most experienced part of the roster. With two defenders departed because of graduation, defenders Chris O’ Connell and Chris Siderakis will move into larger roles in their senior seasons.

“We have a veteran defense now, and that will be huge for us,” Crawford said. “This year, our defense will have to be our rock and allow our young offensive play-ers to grow into their new positions.”

With a young offense and veteran de-fense, the Bulls are entering the season with high expectations for themselves.

“We’re coming into the season hop-ing to win the conference and get back to the national tournament,” Crawford said. “Once we get there, we’ll reevaluate, but our goal is to win our conference. We took the best team in our conference to OT, so there’s not a large gap there. We think with hard work and improvement, we’ll be there in the end. ”
