Alex Morgan and Buffalorsquos Best Kept Secret
Morgan Starred for US WNY Flash Dominate Womenrsquos Professional Soccer League
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
US citizens watched with wide eyes this summer as their womenrsquos national soccer team flurried through the 2011 World Cup
The squad fell just short in the champion-ship match but a star emerged from that tournament Shersquos been on Sportscenter shersquos trended on Twitter and shersquos signed endorsement deals but on any given sum-mer day you can find Alex Morgan playing soccer right outside of Buffalo
Seemingly the entire world watched as the US lost in the final World Cup game to Japan 2-2 in a shootout Throughout the tournament and final Morgan emerged as the class of the red white and blue
The 22-year-old phenom was this yearrsquos No 1 overall draft pick of the Womenrsquos Professional Soccer League Morgan was selected by an expansion team - the West-ern New York Flash
In addition to Morgan the Michael Jordan of womenrsquos soccer plays for the Flash five-time World Player of the Year Marta signed with WNY in January
The Flash practice at Sahlenrsquos Sports Park in Elma NY which is a mere 20 minutes outside of the city With the help of Mor-gan and Marta the Flash won the WPSL Championship this weekend 2-1 over the Philadelphia Independence in penalty kicks
The thrilling championship victory was just another notch on an already impres-sive inventory of achievements for the young striker Morgan has seen her popu-larity rise faster than she ever imagined and shersquos enjoyed her rise to fame but the California native has a greater agenda in mind

MATTHEW PARRINO Editor in Chief
Textbooks rent food and trans-portation are expensive
So it makes sense that most stu-dents return from summer va-cation with finances already at the forefront of their mind but this fall students were hit with a mind-boggling financial aid bombshell
Financial aid disbursement ndash in-cluding loans ndash is now being dis-tributed almost three full weeks later than in years past and the adddrop period has been re-duced from two weeks to one
A total of 21 staff members in the financial aid department ndash 10 advisors and 11 professional staff members ndash are responsible
for helping roughly 29000 stu-dents figure out their financial aid dilemmas The Student Re-sponse Center (SRC) also offers support but it has been extra busy this semester
During the week before school started the SRC recorded its highest call volume in a single day in its history with 10000+ calls The most calls recorded prior to that day was about 5000 It was basically impossi-ble for anybody to get through to get help with financial aid ques-tions
The changes to the disburse-ment schedule have been met with anger by many students according to Jennifer Pollard interim director of financial aid
One of the many issues that have faced the financial aid office in the past has been students that have borrowed thousands of dollars in loans and failed to fin-ish the semester These students end up owing UB for these loans and with the changes it will be more difficult for students who have figured out the system to take advantage of financial aid
ldquoWe had students who got re-funds and then dropped out of school and then owe moneyrdquo Pollard said ldquoThen they would end up in collections and with the Attorney GeneralhellipWe canrsquot do that Itrsquos not the way it should be run We shouldnrsquot be creat-ing more problems for students with loan debt Thatrsquos the other problem and piece to this these
are loans So we donrsquot want to disperse money to students who arenrsquot eligible for it and then they have debthellipItrsquos not a good practice We want to make sure wersquore working with the students on thisrdquo
Pollard has only been in her position since May and was not aware of any research or statis-tical data that may or may not have been done to show what percentage of UB students took advantage of the old financial aid system
The biggest issue about the changes are not so much that they were made as much as the lack of notice given to students
ldquoI donrsquot think we anticipated the reaction from students to be

Revitalizing Through Relocation

UBrsquos future medical campus looks to heal an ailing Buffalo
When the NYSUNY 2020 bill was passed in June 2011 one of the biggest points of in-terest was the potential budget for the con-struction of the new downtown campus of the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences
UB is eligible to receive $35 million in state seed money from the bill for the campus which will be completed in 2016 The uni-versity is currently awaiting the governorrsquos approval of its proposal for the $35 million grant
If the grant is awarded it will be one part of a $375 million plan that would include $50 million to be raised in private gifts to the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences $50 million to be raised from pri-vate partnerships $40 million in research grants $100 million from UB capital and other sources and $100 million for medi-cal school program fees Tuition revenues will not be used for any part of the medical schoolrsquos construction
ldquoWe have not yet begun constructionrdquo said John Della Contrada Assistant Vice Presi-dent for Media Relations ldquoWe are evaluat-ing potential sites and the medical schoolrsquos leadership is having preliminary discus-sions about facility design and needsrdquo
REBECCA BRATEK News Editor
There is a range of emotions that graduat-ing high school seniors experience at the end of that particular journey Many are accustomed to the knowledge and wisdom that comes with being in one place for four
years
Student Association President JoAnna Datz was no exception
Five years ago Datz was the typical high school senior She was involved in any-thing and everything ndash she was even the president of four different clubs She was a leader her name was well known and she
didnrsquot want to leave that all behind
ldquoWhen I was a senior in high school and applying to colleges I was really bitter about going to college I didnrsquot want to go I only applied to one school and it was UB because it was a SUNY schoolrdquo Datz said ldquoUB is a really big school and it was hard to get involved having been a big fish in a little pond now being a really little fish in this massive ocean that UB isrdquo
Datzrsquos brother had graduated from the university and it seemed natural that she would follow in his footsteps even if she didnrsquot know exactly what she wanted in a school just yet
One of the most admirable qualities Datz sees in other people and herself is the in-nate sense of community felt with peers As a child she went to sleep-away camp and said it was the most life-changing and
life-shaping experience
According to Datz sleep-away camp is one of the best examples of a place that em-braces community Campers leave their secure bubble of family and friends for an extended period of time in summer The other campers not

as much as it wasrdquo Pollard said ldquoWe knew there would be a reaction because this defi-nitely changes things for a lot of studentshellipCould we have done more of course ndash ap-parently with the response from students we could have done way morerdquo
What UB did to inform students
Whenever someone sends an email to SRC they get an auto reply that has the warning in it
MyUB has need-to-knows The adddrop and financial aid disbursement changes are in red right now
The SRC voicemail message during non-business hours contained information re-garding the changes
All the SARFS offices revamped their web-sites over the summer and they contain more information than ever before
Posted about the changes on Facebook
When UB rolled out the HUB at the end of last semester nobody could have envisioned the polarizing affect the new software would have on the campuses People either love it or hate it and there isnrsquot a lot of room in between those lines
Everything is done on the new system reg-
istering for classes dropping classes accept-ing financial aid awards and viewing and paying bills One of the main issues that stu-dents have faced is the new idea of ldquoantici-pated financial aidrdquo in the aftermath of the changes which shows a studentrsquos account balance as being unpaid until the census date
The new model for financial aid disburse-ment revolves around the financial aid cen-sus date Itrsquos the date when the studentrsquos enrollment freezes and a snapshot is taken That day happens to be the day after the new one-week adddrop period ends
Students are accustomed to getting their bills paid on time and refund checks deliv-ered well before school starts Many stu-dents are dealing with how theyrsquoll pay rent and how theyrsquoll buy food until the checks are dispersed on Sept 9 at the earliest
ldquoSome of the emails Irsquove gotten and some of the calls Irsquove received have been some of the worst Irsquove gotten in my career in financial aid and Irsquove been doing this since 1995rdquo Pol-lard said ldquoWersquove been blamed for making people homeless losing childcare ndash I mean wersquove been blamed for everythinghellipA lot of my staff is starting to take it personally That theyrsquore personally responsible for people being evictedrdquo
The financial aid office suggests students who need to pay bills immediately seek out
part time jobs to help pay the bills
ldquoFinancial aid is there to pay your tuition fees books and help with any additional expenses you have but I think a lot of stu-dents believe itrsquos just there to help support their life stylerdquo Pollard said ldquoWe hear a lot of times that students canrsquot pay their rent they canrsquot eat get their car or are getting collection calls and they put a lot of pres-sure on our offices But wersquore really here to supplement paying for their educationhellipnot responsible for paying their educationrdquo
The reasoning given for the adddrop cut was three-fold according to Assistant Regis-trar Nigel Marriner Studentrsquos wait too long to drop and add classes and struggle to catch up on material The second concern is for course demand and availability which has been solved by the change
Finally it was an attempt to fix the inconsis-tencies between the registration and billing policies The reasoning given for the time of the adddrop change was all about timing
ldquo[This] comes from the faculty senate they made this decision they made it awhile ago itrsquos just now because of the implementation of the new system we can bring it inrdquo Mar-riner said ldquoIt was enacted in May 2008 and this is the first time we are enacting ithellipIt was just easier to bring this in with the new system at the same timerdquo
HUB Advantages
Instant information ndash real time class and billing information
Accepting awards right online
Shopping cart registration model
While students may not like the new system there doesnrsquot seem to be any change of heart with the higher ups at UB about rethinking the changes
ldquoAt this point there is nothing that is going to changerdquo Pollard said ldquoThis is the way it is and this is the way it was planned for the past couple of years now This is the way itrsquos been communicated to students and we just hope that there is enough students who are ready for this and donrsquot walk on campus and expect to have money to pay Sept 1 rent be-cause theyrsquore not going to have itrdquo

OpinionWelcome to PandemoniumPoorly executed changes confusing and frustrating
A chance to ldquocelebrate the beginning of the aca-demic year and welcome new students to the campusrdquo is what UB promised students for the annual September Welcome event but many stu-dents have been welcomed by headaches frus-tration and worry
Roughly 70 percent of students receive financial aid In the past aid would be disbursed on Aug 20 and students would be able to view their bill online before the due date of Aug 23 with some level of comfort that the amount they are viewing is accurate
Not anymore as most of us have noticed via bills that have blown up faster than the Incredible Hulk on steroids UB has decided that paying out our financial aid in time for their own billrsquos due date was much too difficult and that they abso-lutely had to push the disbursement date back to Sept 10
Thatrsquos $140 million that the university is holding back
Yet they still sent out bills to every student with a clear due date of Aug 23 and a maelstrom of con-fusion began that is still raging Some students were unsure and thought the school was telling them that they had to pay by Aug 23 and felt forced to pay the entirety of their bill on a credit card Since UB is about as fast at getting checks out as a tenant behind on their rent itrsquos inevi-table that those students or their parents will be forced to pay interest on those cards
UB says they have a solution to their painfully slow check mailing Signing up for direct de-posit of your financial aid refund will speed the process up and get the money to you faster they say Many students however are fearful of giv-ing their account information over because they think itrsquos possible for the university to take out money as well as put money in Although this is not the case this should be clearly stated before-hand by the university to alleviate fears as it is always a good idea to be skeptical of putting your personal banking information online
On top of this rush students learned over the summer that the dropadd period was shortened to Sept 3 to drop and Sept 6 to add creating an-other layer of stress for students Very little can be gauged from a class in one week especially considering some classes are a single day a week and the first week tends to be lighter on material than the next week UB hopes that this will get students who donrsquot want to be in high demand classes out faster and get students who are clam-oring for a seat in A noble ambition but making the window shorter isnrsquot going to alleviate the problem itrsquos going to exacerbate it
There are other reasons for shortening the drop add period that intertwine with the later dis-bursement date They say pushing back the dropadd deadline and waiting on the financial aid
will allow them to make sure that everyone get-ting aid is still registered for the proper amount of classes This way students canrsquot get caught in a situation where they will be forced to give back money that they received and already spent
Surely this does happen but itrsquos not a common enough occurrence to warrant a change on this large of a scale and it certainly doesnrsquot justify holding all forms of aid including scholarships If the school wanted to solve this problem they should refrain from sending out checks or de-positing money until after the dropadd period and check on academic eligibility before sending them out Students could also be given an option to opt out of the dropadd period lock in their schedule and ensure that their aid and refunds are processed in a timely manner
Maybe the University would have heard sug-gestions like this had they informed us of the changes earlier but they didnrsquot Students were under the impression that the financial aid was complete in July and that there would be plenty of time for the aid to be applied
Most students have been blindsided by these troubles Considering our tuition was also hiked this summer UB should have been able to afford more than a single email trying to tell us that there would be a major policy change affecting our financial aid
As if this wasnrsquot enough the new HUB student center went online replacing BIRD and many other online services It is difficult to navigate finding class information is not any easier and it will log you out of your session very quickly
While some aspects of the HUB are good ideas such as the way to register for classes and accept-ing financial aid their implementation has been much less than ideal This seems much more like a beta release thatrsquos full of quirks rather than a well-developed system and a full release The ldquoto-do boxrdquo feature that is supposed to show upcom-ing deadlines and other issues hasnrsquot updated at all for many students
Itrsquos embarrassing for this school to be in such a debacle Last year UB coordinated four separate building projects simultaneously yet we are sup-posed to believe that this situation was too much to handle
Hopefully not as problems like this stay in peo-plersquos minds after they leave school just as strong-ly as the good memories It will be difficult to get Alumni to donate if their final memory of UB is that the big wigs decided to sacrifice the peace of mind of the student body just to make their jobs a little easier
Itrsquos also an intimidating factor for freshmen and it could scare them into thinking about transfer-ring
Our school needs to decide quickly what its path is going to take in the future We demand to be treated as the reason this school exists not as a number to be increased for the grand UB 2020 plan
Every fall roughly 30000 people flood the three UB campuses many of which are still trying to get into a certain class-es or are looking for a course to replace another
Usually students have two weeks to make a final decision about their sched-ule But this year UB without much no-tice decided to change the dropadd pe-riod Not only is it shorter but drop and add are on separate dates
This year students only have until Sept 3 to drop courses and Sept 6 to add courses This causes unnecessary confu-sion and does nothing but hurt the stu-dents
There are countless factors that go into whether a student will enjoy a class The professor the time the students around them and the workload are all prime examples of what can make or break a class for students
The two weeks that students had previ-ously was the perfect amount of time be-cause it gave students a chance to go to several classes before deciding on what to do Now with less than a week to de-cide whether to drop a class the deci-sion has been made that much harder
Most professors donrsquot do anything but go over the syllabi in the first class and can take a couple classes to get into the substance of the course Unfortunately now students do not have the luxury of waiting until the class finally gets going to decide if the material in the course is something that they can handle
Every professor has a different teaching style and talks about different things in their class It is vital that students get a taste of the professorrsquos lecturing before making a decision on whether to drop a class or not Thanks to UB that is no lon-ger possible
This will force students into taking class-es that might be overwhelming to them causing students to get a lower grade just because they didnrsquot have that extra week to shop for classes There will be someone who wants to drop a course and someone who needs it but since itrsquos passed Saturday they are out of luck
Another problem with shortening the dropadd period is the fact that UB has already cut many courses so the class choices are slim to begin with This gives students less of a chance to get into the one course they may need because the single section is closed up and people donrsquot have the time to decide if they want to drop it or not
This becomes a problem for seniors who need to get into a course to graduate A student might need a class that only UB only offers one semester and someone might want to drop it the second week but now those students will be hung out to dry
The faculty senate was responsible for the decision to shorten the dropadd pe-riod They said that the period was too long and it made students fall behind But what is worse a student who wants to be in the class and falls a few classes behind or a student who ends up despis-ing the course and end up getting an F on their transcript
While this might make it easier on fac-ulty and staff this is a university they should be trying to make the studentsrsquo lives easier

LifeFall Fashion Transitions
VERONICA RITTER Asst Life Editor
While itrsquos easy to find exactly what the latest fall fashion is when to start wearing it isnrsquot so clear I constantly hear girls ask them-selves lsquoWhen does one bid fare-well to their summer wardrobe and hello to jackets boots and hoodiesrsquo
In Buffalo itrsquos especially difficult to make that decision because the temperature outside isnrsquot too hot or too cold yet At the moment wersquore in fashion limbo idling be-tween two seasons Luckily how-ever therersquos a solution for that ndash you no longer have to choose
In past years wersquove segregated certain colors styles patterns and prints according to the time of the year But why are we so clothes-ist This fall hold onto summer a bit longer (and in Buffalo you know you want to) It may be hard to believe but it is possible to combine dresses florals brights and flats with cardigans scarves and boots in a stylish and appro-priate manner
Fall brings on colder times and darker days but your wardrobe doesnrsquot have to reflect it Although browns blacks and neutrals are more closely associated with the upcoming time of year itrsquos out with the old and in with the new
Brights are catching attention and turning heads I recommended color blocking for spring and sum-mer but with fall comes single shades of eye-popping volumes A bright pump lets you standing out at night in a good way A bright top or dress paired with a neu-tral colored pair of boots does the trick and leaves others in awe of your ability to smoothly mix two seasons into one outfit
Florals have strictly been man-dated toward spring and summer months for years but why should they get to have all the fun Over-lap your floral top with a cardi-gan like our Look of the Week Megan Walker did and yoursquoll be fall ready with no confusion Add some stylish accessories easily af-fordable at HampM or Forever21 like Meganrsquos owl necklace or coral earrings and yoursquove got the look Megan describes as ldquoclassy hip-sterrdquo down pat
Scarves are also a great transition-al piece While the weather may not agree just yet scarves over tanks or cropped tops get along just fine Itrsquos a perfect accessory to throw on for instant fashion that is effortless I love seeing scarves no matter what time of year it is and the multiple ways people wear them (Check out Fridayrsquos issue to see a few and to get new ideas)

From growing up together in Cou-dersport Pa to running a self-cre-ated online business that markets restaurants in Buffalo brothers Chris and Rob Cavallari and friend Josh Corey are satisfying their cravings by helping students sat-isfy their own
Corey a 2010 Penn State graduate thought that Buffalo would be the perfect place for an online food or-dering service Penn State offers a website to students that gives them the convenience of ordering meals from various restaurants around the campus
After a famishing first day on the job in Buffalo last year Corey real-ized what little opportunities there were to order food via computer Being accustomed to this service throughout his college career he sought to create a convenient way for Buffalo students and residents to easily get food
ldquoI got in contact with Chris and said we should start a website for Buffalo I think itrsquod be awesomehellipand we started figuring out how we could workrdquo Corey said
After getting on board with the idea the three partnered up with LocalUp Solutions a company created in 2009 which provides its services to over 30 campuses across the US UB is now one of
them through BuffEatscom
BuffEats launched its website on Aug 1 and began promoting its services to students on North Cam-pus with the hope of spreading its wings to South Campus in the spring Up until now it pushed its new service on facebook and is already up to 300-500 hits on their website including an average of 20 orders a day They hope to make the meal ordering process whether itrsquos pick-up or delivery a smoother and more precise expe-rience for students
ldquoWersquore starting out at the Univer-sity at Buffalo and just getting the word out here as much as we can and eventually wersquoll slowly start spreading all through Buffalordquo Co-rey said ldquoOur overall goal is that every restaurant in Buffalo is on our websiterdquo
Just Pizza and Johnrsquos Pizza and Subs are just a couple of the 17 res-taurants that have already signed up with BuffEats By the fall they expect close to 30 restaurants sur-rounding North Campus to follow the BuffEats trend
The website helps students save money by offering exclusive deals Currently BuffEats is offering a ldquoBack to School Specialrdquo running until Sept 4 They will continue to offer deals for specific events and holidays as well as giveaways from pizza to even Bills tickets
Following them on Twitter or lik-ing them on Facebook gives stu-dents the opportunity to partici-pate and win
The site also includes maps of each restaurant so picking up a meal becomes worry-free Not to men-tion the ease of doing it online and the assurance that what you order is exactly what yoursquoll get
ldquoYou can get all the same food in the Student Union all the time but the real food in Buffalo is definite-ly something we want all students to experience Especially the inter-national students trying to help them get food closer to their cul-turerdquo Chris said
The company while only just cre-ated this past summer already has a lot to show for itself BuffEats offers a wide range of food from American to Chinese Japanese and more They are looking to ex-pand not only to South Campus residential areas and other near-by colleges but also their menu to desserts as well And with no place but forward to go it is sure to become an even bigger success mdash changing the world one hungry student at a time

Itrsquos the first week of freshman year and Thursday night at the Main Street bars is poppinrsquo Ev-eryone is taking shots as if theyrsquoll never get a sip of alcohol again hoping to reach that level of ulti-mate drunk so that they can ex-cuse their actions of the night A senior boy gently grazes his hand over your behind and whispers in your ear ldquoWhatrsquos your name beautifulrdquo
Itrsquos too dark he doesnrsquot actually think yoursquore beautiful
Hersquos going to forget your name in 5 minutes 10 if yoursquore lucky
Anyway letrsquos continue You get angry and a bit nervous so you pull away but he pulls you in so his chest is pressed up against yours With his breath smelling so strongly of beer that you can taste it he says ldquoCome on Irsquom not tryna f letrsquos just get outta hererdquo
Oh I understand You want a drunk girl wearing a tight dress to come over so you can show her your new action figure collec-tionhellip
So freshman girls this is your in-troduction Welcome to the Queen City the SUNY school with the most students ie the most hor-mones Your first step girls is to realize that these horny boys that only take their hand out of their pants to try and get them into yours are not worth it
I know that freshman year comes with endless changes and itrsquos ex-citing to get the sexual attention from boys that yoursquove been anx-iously waiting to receive Howev-er do yourself a favor and wait it out Donrsquot attack an opportunity to have random sex because waking up in a random house on South Campus is not fun even if he lets you keep his t-shirt in the morn-ing
Female college freshman are at the highest risk for sexual assault between the first day of school and Thanksgiving break accord-ing to Iowa State University
In addition according to the website Mom Logic 38 percent of freshmen admit to having sex with one or more people within the first two weeks of school
It is important to keep the boys waiting on their toes Let them keep you at the tip of your fingers but never let them hold all of you in their hand (no that was not a sexual reference)
Donrsquot let what happened to Kelli Leclair sophomore communica-tions major happen to you
ldquoOne night I met this kid at North-side and we danced for [about] 5 minutes He told me his name at one point but I was drunk so I donrsquot really remember itrdquo Leclair said ldquoHe brought me to his apart-ment and we had sex After about 20 minutes he told me to get out I walked out of his apartment and found myself alone on the street with one shoerdquo
Letrsquos take a stand for all the fresh-man girls that have been sucked into having one-night stands Girls get out there and show the boys that your vibrator fulfills wonders that they never could
Oh and if yoursquore really that horny and therersquos nothing that can stop you from getting it in then make sure you use protection Unless yoursquore into that teen mom busi-ness Recommendation Trojan Ecstasy Get on that and let me know what you think

Last year the space in front of Ellicott was a major construction site Now a gleaming tribute to ar-chitecture and technology stands proudly for all the campus to see Greiner Hall is officially open and students are loving it
This new dorm holds 600 sopho-mores who were chosen to live there by a lottery system last spring They are the first to live in the building which means that everything is brand new and in pristine condition The suite style living spaces contain two double rooms a bathroom and a storage area Each floor also has a lounge kitchen and laundry room and the building was designed with state-of-the-art technology
Along with the rooms the hall also houses classrooms meeting rooms and a new eatery on cam-pus called Au Bon Pain with seat-ing for 50 The building is Gold Certified in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental De-sign Green Building Rating System
(LEED) right on track with the Universitys many green initia-tives Roofed bike racks designed by UB Architecture students en-courage students to use their bikes as a greener form of transporta-tion and the surrounding trees and landscaping fit in perfectly with the clean green theme
Naturally the chosen students are pretty excited about living in the new dorm I love everything about it said Kelsey Clark a soph-omore Biomedical Sciences major Everything is so much nicer and cleaner and just more friendly looking
The inside of Greiner Hall is in pristine condition with smoothly running elevators window-walled lounges and expansive hallways peppered with sleek benches The rooms themselves can be com-pared to a hotel with high ceilings white walls and plenty of win-dows to brighten up the dorm
Greiners rooms are much bigger than [my dorm] was for me last year said Tom Sisti a sophomore Pre-Pharmacy major We can eas-ily fit twice as many people in our room as we could last year Its
also different having a big walk-in closet and your own bathroom
Greiner is the only dorm on cam-pus with air conditioning some-thing that students are definitely appreciating this time of year Res-idents can control the temperature of their own rooms creating the perfect atmosphere for studying relaxing or even some partying
The hall also introduced new mod-ern furniture for the residents to place around their rooms as they wish The flexible-use furnishings give the rooms a nice touch and add to the atmosphere that the building creates The hall has also stepped up the security with resi-dents having to swipe in each time they use the elevators as well as to get in to the dorms
But the lucky few who made it into the dorm arent complaining Ev-erything is so much better than last year Clark said Theres an automatic light in each room huge lounges on every floor and an amazing kitchen
While living in Greiner Hall defi-nitely has its perks residents have noticed some drawbacks as well
Parking kind of stinks Sisti said Its not easy to find a spot and if you do its probably pretty far away from the building
Since Greiner is a new building there have been a few things that needed to be worked out like a water leak that caused the resi-dents to lose their water on the second day of living in the dorm
All in all UB has done a great job with Greiner Hall The views are great the hallways sparkle and the living is pretty easy

merdquo Morgan said ldquoIrsquom not going to lie the attention is a little weird and itrsquos different from what Irsquom used to but I definitely want to bring attention to womenrsquos soccer in the states Irsquom going to help out womenrsquos soccer as much as I can I want to keep turning heads for womenrsquos sports in the US and in the worldrdquo
Flash head coach Aaran Lines isnrsquot focused on Morganrsquos ce-lebrity status Shersquos just another player in Linesrsquo eyes
ldquoI donrsquot pay that much attention to the mediardquo Lines said ldquoTo me I see our No 1 draft pick I watch what shersquos doing on the field at practice every day I donrsquot look at what the media is saying about herrdquo
Morgan believes the after-effect of the 1999 World Cup changed womenrsquos soccer forever Morgan knows that the popularity of womenrsquos soccer will die down again because the World Cup only takes place once every four years but she hopes that people will continue to pay attention Her professional team practically forced fans to continue tak-ing notice as the Flash tore apart the WPSL when Marta and Morgan returned from the World Cup The Flash went the final 11 games of the season without suffering a defeat
Poetically WNY began that streak following a 2-1 loss to Philadelphia The WPSL championship game mirrored Team USArsquos loss to Japan both WNY and the US blew late leads and both games headed to penalty kicks This time however Morgan wouldnrsquot settle for second place The Flash finished the season 14-2-3 as regular season champi-ons and WPS champions
Though WNY claimed a championship Morganrsquos loss in the World Cup finale remains fresh in her memory
[I want to use the following as a pull quote I think it would catch the readersrsquo attention So in quotes would be ldquoI went from scoring the first goalhellipbecause we didnrsquot see it first-handrdquo]
ldquoThe whole game was very emotionalrdquo Morgan said ldquoI went from scoring the first goal which was probably the best feeling Irsquoll ever have ndash I just wanted to cry on the field ndash to the penalty shootout which was up and down and very emotionally draining
ldquoWe were disappointed at the moment we were heartbro-ken We didnrsquot really feel the impact that we had on the US until we got home because we didnrsquot see it firsthand Coming back to the US and seeing the fans in the airport and in the hotel made us feel proud for the first time since we got the silver medalrdquo
Assistant coach Scott Vallow said the US players related to Americans via their fight drive bravery and never-say-die attitude and thatrsquos why they were able to captivate so many people
Lines said the US run was enormous for the game In his mind now people are well aware of whatrsquos going on so itrsquos been a miraculous spectacle for the Womenrsquos Professional Soccer League
It appeared that everybody in the US ndash including the me-dia ndash developed a soft spot for their womenrsquos national team in the tournament Various media outlets have been widely criticized for sympathizing with the US squad following the teamrsquos defeat in the final America went in with the No 1 ranking in the world but finished second in the tourna-ment Morgan has her own take on the topic
ldquoEveryonersquos always going to have their opinions and therersquos always going to be a devilrsquos advocate so thatrsquos finerdquo Mor-gan said ldquoPeople are entitled to their opinions Irsquove heard multiple things from we played the best game ndash I do think we played very well ndash to we chokedrdquo
It was difficult for Morgan to listen to the negative feed-back but she realizes that it comes with the territory and thinks thatrsquos just the way it goes in soccer sometimes
ldquoIn the US itrsquos usually first or nothing but therersquos been such an outpouring of overwhelming support and wersquore really thankful for thatrdquo Morgan said
Morgan urged fans to come out to a game in the future She said she hopes people realize that the WNY squad boasts players from six different countries that came together to play in Buffalorsquos backyard
Athletic trainer Gerard ldquoMickyrdquo Gingras noticed a drastic spike in attendance from young Flash fans Local teams frequently come out to Sahlenrsquos to watch the Flash practice and Gingras said the professional players love it as much as the kids
The Flash have a connection with UB too Center back Kim-berly Brandatildeo is Portugalrsquos captain and an assistant coach for UBrsquos womenrsquos soccer team
Brandatildeo said all her different professional and national experiences have assisted her coaching career at UB She knows what itrsquos like for the players and shersquos aware of the amount of dedication it takes to play at the highest level
ldquoThe World Cup was a great showcase of what womenrsquos soccer is going to be like and how good it can really getrdquo Brandatildeo said ldquoWersquore just trying to do our part to make it as big as possiblerdquo
Just how big can womenrsquos soccer get That remains to be seen But one thing is certain Morgan is doing her part
ldquoWersquove got peoplersquos attentionrdquo Morgan said ldquoNow we just need to keep itrdquo

Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album Irsquom With You
Release Date Aug 29
Label Warner Bros
Grade A-
After the bandrsquos two-year hiatus Anthony Kiedis and crew are ready to stir up the alt-rock pot and bring the incredible sounds of Josh Klinghofferrsquos stunning guitar work and iconic bass-funk that will surely please audiences the world over
Although John Frusciante stepped out in the last days of the Stadium Arcadium tour Klinghoffer has filled the gaping void and brought along with him a sound entirely unlike any RHCP CD before
The opening track on Irsquom With You ldquoMonarchy of Rosesrdquo preps fans for the uniquely different sounds of the album Heavy distortion cements a marked difference between classic RHCP and the rest of this multifaceted compilation
Catchy and lyrically entrancing ldquoFactory of Faithrdquo delivers quality bass riffs along with Kiedisrsquo killer vocals to create an intriguing mix of old and new RHCP reminiscent of Stadium Arcadium
ldquoBrendanrsquos Death Songrdquo a heartfelt acoustic bal-lad covers the death of long-time friend and initial supporter Brendan Mullen Incorporating a harder rock tonality in its closing minutes the track bleeds directly from a hurting Anthony Kiedis and its emo-tional impact is deeply felt
The albumrsquos midsection does well to remember the bandrsquos peak of Californication as both ldquoEthiopiardquo and ldquoLook Aroundrdquo bring the same heavy bass and vocal tracks the band was known for syncing up in perfect form
Klinghoffer long-time friend of Frusciante enters the fray without missing a beat even progressing the bandrsquos sound by adding keyboard and vocals to many of the albumrsquos more appealing songs
The albumrsquos first single ldquoThe Adventures of Rain Dance Maggierdquo prominently features overtly sexual-ized lyrics and probably the best use of cowbell since Blue Oyster Cultrsquos stint with the reaper
Other highlights include ldquoDid I Let You Knowrdquo ldquoEven You Brutusrdquo and the mellow groove ldquoMeet Me at the Cornerrdquo each of which contribute their own diverse sounds to an already alien production
Fans expecting to come into a classic culmination of Kiedis Flea and Frusciante magic will be taken by surprise by the twists and turns of RHCPrsquos latest me-lodic concoction

JAMESON BUTLER Senior Arts Editor
This summer lacked the big name album releases that generally populate your va-cation but that doesnrsquot mean that there werenrsquot albums that blew people away From indie to hip-hop numerous albums deserved the attention but lacked the pub-licity to get on the radio Here are the top 10 albums of the summer
Artist Frank Turner
Album England Keep My Bones
Release Date June 7
Label Epitaph
Acoustic guitar history and sentimental lyrics mdash these things are all prevalent on Frank Turnerrsquos fourth studio album Eng-land Keep My Bones From the haunting opening track ldquoEulogyrdquo to the agnostic closer ldquoGlory Hallelujahrdquo Turner contin-ues to add to an already stellar discogra-phy
Check out ldquoPeggy Sang the Bluesrdquo ldquoI Am Disappearedrdquo
Artist The Wonder Years
Album Suburbia Irsquove Given You All And Now Irsquom Noth-ing
Release Date June 14
Label Hopeless
Pop-punk has changed drastically since its heyday but apparently nobody told that to The Wonder Years Suburbia unleashes the angst of growing up in the suburbs and the confusing challenges of leaving it behind What separates Suburbia from countless other teen angst albums is the imagery created by vocalist Dan Camp-bell which cuts the listener straight to the bone
Check out ldquoLocal Man Ruins Everythingrdquo ldquoHoodie Weatherrdquo
Artist Taking Back Sunday
Album Taking Back Sunday
Release Date June 28
Label Warner Bros
For the first time since their groundbreak-ing debut Tell All Your Friends the origi-nal members of Taking Back Sunday have reconciled and returned to the studio The album has a clear Straylight Run (John Nolan and Shaun Cooperrsquos side project in between their tenures) influence which gives Taking Back Sunday some much-needed depth to what was a dwindling ca-reer
Check out ldquoMoney (Let it Go)rdquo ldquoYou Got Merdquo
Artist F Up
Album David Comes to Life
Release Date June 7
Label Matador
These Canadian hardcore punkers bring to life a story of heartache and despair The vivid lyrics depict the story of David who attempts to find love mdash only to lose it again mdash and the pain and guilt that en-sues The heavy instrumentals only add to the emotion of main singer Pink Eyesrsquo gut-wrenching vocals
Check out ldquoQueen of Heartsrdquo ldquoA Slanted Tonerdquo
Artist Hoodie Allen
Album Leap Year
Release Date July 26
Label None
Coming straight outta the lsquoburbs Hoodie Allen combines infectious beats with witty lyrics and creates one of the best hip-hop albums of the year and all without a label Leap Year has 13 tracks and each is just as catchy as the last The best part The album can be downloaded for free on his website
Check out ldquoJames Francordquo ldquoSong for an Actressrdquo
Artist Jay-Z and Kanye West
Album Watch The Throne
Release Date Aug 8
Label Roc-a-Fella
This album got so much hype before it came out that measuring up to it all seemed impossible but when two of the best rappers over the past decade collabo-rate itrsquos hard to screw up Kanye provides some spectacular beats and Jay-Z brings his impeccable flow to create an album that stands out from the rest
Check out ldquoN in Parisrdquo ldquoOtisrdquo
Artist Direct Hit
Album Domesplit-ter

Superman Beyond Zero Issue
Between the constant retelling of his birth world-renowned deaths every few hundred issues and some serious time spent in his twilight years Supermanrsquos aging is as shod-dy as Lex Luthorrsquos latest plot
Mortality of a super-hero is an issue covered by writers far and wide and while ex-Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco does nothing to further the medium his take on the aged Man of Steel has a few peak-ing moments of greatness
Picking up a year after Supes left Earth on a journey of self-discov-ery the world he once defended is an altered beast reeking of crime filth and abundant gang warfare With the once-greatest defender of the planet on a year long vacation using ldquoall-out-warfarerdquo to describe the place is an understatement
DeFalco writes a slightly better than average tale and for every few rays of hope he casts an inescap-able shadow of dull-witted banter to accompany the rather serious undertones Backed by artist Sal Buscema the comic is intelligently drawn and inked but by no means noteworthy on its own
To catch a brief glimpse of a time where Terry McGinnis dons the cape and cowl of Batman and Supes needs to be home before Matlock ldquoSuperman Beyondrdquo is well worth its $399 price tag
A Week in Ink Issue No 26
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates No 1
In an industry rife with reboots Jonathan Hickmanrsquos early entry into a post-Spidey world is compet-ing with some of the heavyweights in its division and when all the pages are down ldquoThe Ultimates No 1rdquo is holding its own
Told through the eyes of the heavy-handed General Fury the plot re-sembles everything seen before in the Marvel Universe During global calamity the call goes out for Earthrsquos mightiest only for them to meet a foe unlike anything theyrsquove fought before
Although the flow of the issue is not trend setting in its own right Esad Ribicrsquos artwork is From a redesigned Captain Britain to the outlandish Asgardians getting ham-mered in a bar each panel goes above and beyond the call of duty
Strangely absent from the fray is Cap himself Though pictured on the cover Americarsquos Super Soldier is MIA a real letdown for any of those coming off the hype of this summerrsquos blockbuster hit
Besides a few relatively tiny snafus the issue as a whole is a sincerely solid attempt to reconstruct the for-mer champion Hickman lays the groundwork for an incredible com-ic series but this stand-alone pres-ents only a slice of the literary pie
Gears of War Issue No 19
Even in ink and panel form the crew of Delta Squad can never catch a break Following Marcus Fe-nix and his troops near the recently demolished Jacinto the melanchol-ic series moves forward by sketch-ing out the final moments of Gears of War 2
While the canon is represented in partial accuracy the true issues with this ink and panel transfor-mation is that nothing can replace EPICrsquos gun-toting brotastic shooter mdash even itself To the teamrsquos credit the panels are composed from grit-ty sanguine palettes and mostly represent the heart and soul of the beloved franchise
Unfortunately between the dia-logue and lack of substance it seems as though the Gears team could use a little more time in basic training While Cole spouts iconic phrases the team banter stays to a mini-mum a harsh contrast from the consistent team morale the EPIC writers work so hard to perpetuate
Even with Gears of War 3 head writer Karen Traviss pumping out issues the fantastic feats of Delta Squad are probably best left on screen While it offers some serious fan service for those waiting in the wings for the trilogyrsquos triumphant conclusion tepid fans will find no solace here

An Uplifting Party Plan
NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Label EMI Capitol
Release Date Sept 29 1987
Grade B+
One band encapsulated the entire culmination of LArsquos funky alterna-tive stylings and ingrained itself forever in the alt-rock pantheon This band was Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before John Frusciantersquos melodic composing and Hillel Slovakrsquos death threatened to break up the funk RHCP was one of the most original bands to ever hit SoCal Now years later The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a testament to a time in music history long past
The albumrsquos flagship track ldquoFight Like a Braverdquo sets the musical scene for the entire CD This song would go on to be a rock anthem for all who suffer from addiction mdash even though lead singer Anthony Kiedis would relapse only a few years later Its infectious bass riff and stellar chorus secure it as one of the best songs the band has ever produced
As the album progresses RHCP break out their signature funkadelic-rock sounds only rivaled by the likes of George Clinton and his eclec-tic collective Parliament Funkadelic Of note ldquoMe and My Friendsrdquo has the instrumentals and triumphant force that the band has worked feverishly to revisit ever since
Flearsquos legendary slap bass stylings reverberate through the next few tracks thrusting forceful funk into the listenerrsquos mind and solidifying the iconic revelry of a band on the edge of society
Like any well-remembered CD the musical landscape is drastically al-tered just when the listener settles into the bandrsquos comfort zone This hallowed feature comes in the form of ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo The combi-nation of Hillel Slovakrsquos stunning sitar and Flearsquos funk riff expertly blend together to produce a sound unlike anything the Chili Peppers have ever tried
The band derives much of its current style from this time period mak-ing The Uplift Mofo Party Plan the launching point for their recent work

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

WEDNESDAY AUgUSt 31 2011 v THE SPECTRUM 17CLASSIFIEDS
ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

as much as it wasrdquo Pollard said ldquoWe knew there would be a reaction because this defi-nitely changes things for a lot of studentshellipCould we have done more of course ndash ap-parently with the response from students we could have done way morerdquo
What UB did to inform students
Whenever someone sends an email to SRC they get an auto reply that has the warning in it
MyUB has need-to-knows The adddrop and financial aid disbursement changes are in red right now
The SRC voicemail message during non-business hours contained information re-garding the changes
All the SARFS offices revamped their web-sites over the summer and they contain more information than ever before
Posted about the changes on Facebook
When UB rolled out the HUB at the end of last semester nobody could have envisioned the polarizing affect the new software would have on the campuses People either love it or hate it and there isnrsquot a lot of room in between those lines
Everything is done on the new system reg-
istering for classes dropping classes accept-ing financial aid awards and viewing and paying bills One of the main issues that stu-dents have faced is the new idea of ldquoantici-pated financial aidrdquo in the aftermath of the changes which shows a studentrsquos account balance as being unpaid until the census date
The new model for financial aid disburse-ment revolves around the financial aid cen-sus date Itrsquos the date when the studentrsquos enrollment freezes and a snapshot is taken That day happens to be the day after the new one-week adddrop period ends
Students are accustomed to getting their bills paid on time and refund checks deliv-ered well before school starts Many stu-dents are dealing with how theyrsquoll pay rent and how theyrsquoll buy food until the checks are dispersed on Sept 9 at the earliest
ldquoSome of the emails Irsquove gotten and some of the calls Irsquove received have been some of the worst Irsquove gotten in my career in financial aid and Irsquove been doing this since 1995rdquo Pol-lard said ldquoWersquove been blamed for making people homeless losing childcare ndash I mean wersquove been blamed for everythinghellipA lot of my staff is starting to take it personally That theyrsquore personally responsible for people being evictedrdquo
The financial aid office suggests students who need to pay bills immediately seek out
part time jobs to help pay the bills
ldquoFinancial aid is there to pay your tuition fees books and help with any additional expenses you have but I think a lot of stu-dents believe itrsquos just there to help support their life stylerdquo Pollard said ldquoWe hear a lot of times that students canrsquot pay their rent they canrsquot eat get their car or are getting collection calls and they put a lot of pres-sure on our offices But wersquore really here to supplement paying for their educationhellipnot responsible for paying their educationrdquo
The reasoning given for the adddrop cut was three-fold according to Assistant Regis-trar Nigel Marriner Studentrsquos wait too long to drop and add classes and struggle to catch up on material The second concern is for course demand and availability which has been solved by the change
Finally it was an attempt to fix the inconsis-tencies between the registration and billing policies The reasoning given for the time of the adddrop change was all about timing
ldquo[This] comes from the faculty senate they made this decision they made it awhile ago itrsquos just now because of the implementation of the new system we can bring it inrdquo Mar-riner said ldquoIt was enacted in May 2008 and this is the first time we are enacting ithellipIt was just easier to bring this in with the new system at the same timerdquo
HUB Advantages
Instant information ndash real time class and billing information
Accepting awards right online
Shopping cart registration model
While students may not like the new system there doesnrsquot seem to be any change of heart with the higher ups at UB about rethinking the changes
ldquoAt this point there is nothing that is going to changerdquo Pollard said ldquoThis is the way it is and this is the way it was planned for the past couple of years now This is the way itrsquos been communicated to students and we just hope that there is enough students who are ready for this and donrsquot walk on campus and expect to have money to pay Sept 1 rent be-cause theyrsquore not going to have itrdquo

OpinionWelcome to PandemoniumPoorly executed changes confusing and frustrating
A chance to ldquocelebrate the beginning of the aca-demic year and welcome new students to the campusrdquo is what UB promised students for the annual September Welcome event but many stu-dents have been welcomed by headaches frus-tration and worry
Roughly 70 percent of students receive financial aid In the past aid would be disbursed on Aug 20 and students would be able to view their bill online before the due date of Aug 23 with some level of comfort that the amount they are viewing is accurate
Not anymore as most of us have noticed via bills that have blown up faster than the Incredible Hulk on steroids UB has decided that paying out our financial aid in time for their own billrsquos due date was much too difficult and that they abso-lutely had to push the disbursement date back to Sept 10
Thatrsquos $140 million that the university is holding back
Yet they still sent out bills to every student with a clear due date of Aug 23 and a maelstrom of con-fusion began that is still raging Some students were unsure and thought the school was telling them that they had to pay by Aug 23 and felt forced to pay the entirety of their bill on a credit card Since UB is about as fast at getting checks out as a tenant behind on their rent itrsquos inevi-table that those students or their parents will be forced to pay interest on those cards
UB says they have a solution to their painfully slow check mailing Signing up for direct de-posit of your financial aid refund will speed the process up and get the money to you faster they say Many students however are fearful of giv-ing their account information over because they think itrsquos possible for the university to take out money as well as put money in Although this is not the case this should be clearly stated before-hand by the university to alleviate fears as it is always a good idea to be skeptical of putting your personal banking information online
On top of this rush students learned over the summer that the dropadd period was shortened to Sept 3 to drop and Sept 6 to add creating an-other layer of stress for students Very little can be gauged from a class in one week especially considering some classes are a single day a week and the first week tends to be lighter on material than the next week UB hopes that this will get students who donrsquot want to be in high demand classes out faster and get students who are clam-oring for a seat in A noble ambition but making the window shorter isnrsquot going to alleviate the problem itrsquos going to exacerbate it
There are other reasons for shortening the drop add period that intertwine with the later dis-bursement date They say pushing back the dropadd deadline and waiting on the financial aid
will allow them to make sure that everyone get-ting aid is still registered for the proper amount of classes This way students canrsquot get caught in a situation where they will be forced to give back money that they received and already spent
Surely this does happen but itrsquos not a common enough occurrence to warrant a change on this large of a scale and it certainly doesnrsquot justify holding all forms of aid including scholarships If the school wanted to solve this problem they should refrain from sending out checks or de-positing money until after the dropadd period and check on academic eligibility before sending them out Students could also be given an option to opt out of the dropadd period lock in their schedule and ensure that their aid and refunds are processed in a timely manner
Maybe the University would have heard sug-gestions like this had they informed us of the changes earlier but they didnrsquot Students were under the impression that the financial aid was complete in July and that there would be plenty of time for the aid to be applied
Most students have been blindsided by these troubles Considering our tuition was also hiked this summer UB should have been able to afford more than a single email trying to tell us that there would be a major policy change affecting our financial aid
As if this wasnrsquot enough the new HUB student center went online replacing BIRD and many other online services It is difficult to navigate finding class information is not any easier and it will log you out of your session very quickly
While some aspects of the HUB are good ideas such as the way to register for classes and accept-ing financial aid their implementation has been much less than ideal This seems much more like a beta release thatrsquos full of quirks rather than a well-developed system and a full release The ldquoto-do boxrdquo feature that is supposed to show upcom-ing deadlines and other issues hasnrsquot updated at all for many students
Itrsquos embarrassing for this school to be in such a debacle Last year UB coordinated four separate building projects simultaneously yet we are sup-posed to believe that this situation was too much to handle
Hopefully not as problems like this stay in peo-plersquos minds after they leave school just as strong-ly as the good memories It will be difficult to get Alumni to donate if their final memory of UB is that the big wigs decided to sacrifice the peace of mind of the student body just to make their jobs a little easier
Itrsquos also an intimidating factor for freshmen and it could scare them into thinking about transfer-ring
Our school needs to decide quickly what its path is going to take in the future We demand to be treated as the reason this school exists not as a number to be increased for the grand UB 2020 plan
Every fall roughly 30000 people flood the three UB campuses many of which are still trying to get into a certain class-es or are looking for a course to replace another
Usually students have two weeks to make a final decision about their sched-ule But this year UB without much no-tice decided to change the dropadd pe-riod Not only is it shorter but drop and add are on separate dates
This year students only have until Sept 3 to drop courses and Sept 6 to add courses This causes unnecessary confu-sion and does nothing but hurt the stu-dents
There are countless factors that go into whether a student will enjoy a class The professor the time the students around them and the workload are all prime examples of what can make or break a class for students
The two weeks that students had previ-ously was the perfect amount of time be-cause it gave students a chance to go to several classes before deciding on what to do Now with less than a week to de-cide whether to drop a class the deci-sion has been made that much harder
Most professors donrsquot do anything but go over the syllabi in the first class and can take a couple classes to get into the substance of the course Unfortunately now students do not have the luxury of waiting until the class finally gets going to decide if the material in the course is something that they can handle
Every professor has a different teaching style and talks about different things in their class It is vital that students get a taste of the professorrsquos lecturing before making a decision on whether to drop a class or not Thanks to UB that is no lon-ger possible
This will force students into taking class-es that might be overwhelming to them causing students to get a lower grade just because they didnrsquot have that extra week to shop for classes There will be someone who wants to drop a course and someone who needs it but since itrsquos passed Saturday they are out of luck
Another problem with shortening the dropadd period is the fact that UB has already cut many courses so the class choices are slim to begin with This gives students less of a chance to get into the one course they may need because the single section is closed up and people donrsquot have the time to decide if they want to drop it or not
This becomes a problem for seniors who need to get into a course to graduate A student might need a class that only UB only offers one semester and someone might want to drop it the second week but now those students will be hung out to dry
The faculty senate was responsible for the decision to shorten the dropadd pe-riod They said that the period was too long and it made students fall behind But what is worse a student who wants to be in the class and falls a few classes behind or a student who ends up despis-ing the course and end up getting an F on their transcript
While this might make it easier on fac-ulty and staff this is a university they should be trying to make the studentsrsquo lives easier

Thatrsquos right Irsquom talk-ing to every person with a person That eight-digit number that we keep on the tip of tongue or on the tip of our pen seems to define us in a way during our time at UB
Being one of about 29000 can make you feel insignificant but Irsquom here to implore you to ignore that impulse at every cost I want to know what yoursquore
thinking and how you feel about any and ev-erything that happens at UB
You are the student body and we ndash The Spectrum ndash are your voice I fully expect you to use us to deliver your message to whomever it is intended for
This school is the great-est in the world in my eyes How corny right The funny part is that Irsquom serious I love UB and the past four years have been the best of my life Mostly because in that time I met my beautiful wife but also because of this school
UB represents the great-est parts of society We have a strongly knit community some of the smartest people in the world a great ath-letic program a beauti-ful campus and people that I feel genuinely care about the person sitting next to them in whatever class they end
up sitting in
I love this university so much that I have vowed in my position as editor in chief to do a service for this school providing the best cov-erage of every aspect of it that my staff and I can possibly give
The toughest part of the job is that I canrsquot do it alone even if I wanted to I need you ndash the UB student ndash to be my eyes on the outside and help hold people account-able as well as give peo-ple praise for a job well done
People tell me all the time ldquoTherersquos too much apathy at UB nobody really cares that much about whatrsquos going on At least not enough to speak up about itrdquo I tell those people how wrong I think they are and now I need you to prove it to them for me
This is an exciting time to be at UB We have a
new president a medi-cal school thatrsquos being moved downtown to help revitalize the city of Buffalo and an ath-letic program dedicated to providing top-notch talent to entertain us
If you see therersquos a game coming up get your free ticket If the president is doing a meet-and-greet be the first in line If the Stu-dent Association is put-ting on a movie night donrsquot miss it Experi-ence this campus and all the great stuff it has to offer
After yoursquore done let us know all about it and help us showcase the best school in the coun-try in the best city in the world
Have a great semester and we hope you keep reading

LifeFall Fashion Transitions
VERONICA RITTER Asst Life Editor
While itrsquos easy to find exactly what the latest fall fashion is when to start wearing it isnrsquot so clear I constantly hear girls ask them-selves lsquoWhen does one bid fare-well to their summer wardrobe and hello to jackets boots and hoodiesrsquo
In Buffalo itrsquos especially difficult to make that decision because the temperature outside isnrsquot too hot or too cold yet At the moment wersquore in fashion limbo idling be-tween two seasons Luckily how-ever therersquos a solution for that ndash you no longer have to choose
In past years wersquove segregated certain colors styles patterns and prints according to the time of the year But why are we so clothes-ist This fall hold onto summer a bit longer (and in Buffalo you know you want to) It may be hard to believe but it is possible to combine dresses florals brights and flats with cardigans scarves and boots in a stylish and appro-priate manner
Fall brings on colder times and darker days but your wardrobe doesnrsquot have to reflect it Although browns blacks and neutrals are more closely associated with the upcoming time of year itrsquos out with the old and in with the new
Brights are catching attention and turning heads I recommended color blocking for spring and sum-mer but with fall comes single shades of eye-popping volumes A bright pump lets you standing out at night in a good way A bright top or dress paired with a neu-tral colored pair of boots does the trick and leaves others in awe of your ability to smoothly mix two seasons into one outfit
Florals have strictly been man-dated toward spring and summer months for years but why should they get to have all the fun Over-lap your floral top with a cardi-gan like our Look of the Week Megan Walker did and yoursquoll be fall ready with no confusion Add some stylish accessories easily af-fordable at HampM or Forever21 like Meganrsquos owl necklace or coral earrings and yoursquove got the look Megan describes as ldquoclassy hip-sterrdquo down pat
Scarves are also a great transition-al piece While the weather may not agree just yet scarves over tanks or cropped tops get along just fine Itrsquos a perfect accessory to throw on for instant fashion that is effortless I love seeing scarves no matter what time of year it is and the multiple ways people wear them (Check out Fridayrsquos issue to see a few and to get new ideas)

From growing up together in Cou-dersport Pa to running a self-cre-ated online business that markets restaurants in Buffalo brothers Chris and Rob Cavallari and friend Josh Corey are satisfying their cravings by helping students sat-isfy their own
Corey a 2010 Penn State graduate thought that Buffalo would be the perfect place for an online food or-dering service Penn State offers a website to students that gives them the convenience of ordering meals from various restaurants around the campus
After a famishing first day on the job in Buffalo last year Corey real-ized what little opportunities there were to order food via computer Being accustomed to this service throughout his college career he sought to create a convenient way for Buffalo students and residents to easily get food
ldquoI got in contact with Chris and said we should start a website for Buffalo I think itrsquod be awesomehellipand we started figuring out how we could workrdquo Corey said
After getting on board with the idea the three partnered up with LocalUp Solutions a company created in 2009 which provides its services to over 30 campuses across the US UB is now one of
them through BuffEatscom
BuffEats launched its website on Aug 1 and began promoting its services to students on North Cam-pus with the hope of spreading its wings to South Campus in the spring Up until now it pushed its new service on facebook and is already up to 300-500 hits on their website including an average of 20 orders a day They hope to make the meal ordering process whether itrsquos pick-up or delivery a smoother and more precise expe-rience for students
ldquoWersquore starting out at the Univer-sity at Buffalo and just getting the word out here as much as we can and eventually wersquoll slowly start spreading all through Buffalordquo Co-rey said ldquoOur overall goal is that every restaurant in Buffalo is on our websiterdquo
Just Pizza and Johnrsquos Pizza and Subs are just a couple of the 17 res-taurants that have already signed up with BuffEats By the fall they expect close to 30 restaurants sur-rounding North Campus to follow the BuffEats trend
The website helps students save money by offering exclusive deals Currently BuffEats is offering a ldquoBack to School Specialrdquo running until Sept 4 They will continue to offer deals for specific events and holidays as well as giveaways from pizza to even Bills tickets
Following them on Twitter or lik-ing them on Facebook gives stu-dents the opportunity to partici-pate and win
The site also includes maps of each restaurant so picking up a meal becomes worry-free Not to men-tion the ease of doing it online and the assurance that what you order is exactly what yoursquoll get
ldquoYou can get all the same food in the Student Union all the time but the real food in Buffalo is definite-ly something we want all students to experience Especially the inter-national students trying to help them get food closer to their cul-turerdquo Chris said
The company while only just cre-ated this past summer already has a lot to show for itself BuffEats offers a wide range of food from American to Chinese Japanese and more They are looking to ex-pand not only to South Campus residential areas and other near-by colleges but also their menu to desserts as well And with no place but forward to go it is sure to become an even bigger success mdash changing the world one hungry student at a time

Letrsquos Talk About Sex BabyFresh Meat
Asst Life Desk Editor KEREN BARUCH
Itrsquos the first week of freshman year and Thursday night at the Main Street bars is poppinrsquo Ev-eryone is taking shots as if theyrsquoll never get a sip of alcohol again hoping to reach that level of ulti-mate drunk so that they can ex-cuse their actions of the night A senior boy gently grazes his hand over your behind and whispers in your ear ldquoWhatrsquos your name beautifulrdquo
Itrsquos too dark he doesnrsquot actually think yoursquore beautiful
Hersquos going to forget your name in 5 minutes 10 if yoursquore lucky
Anyway letrsquos continue You get angry and a bit nervous so you pull away but he pulls you in so his chest is pressed up against yours With his breath smelling so strongly of beer that you can taste it he says ldquoCome on Irsquom not tryna f letrsquos just get outta hererdquo
Oh I understand You want a drunk girl wearing a tight dress to come over so you can show her your new action figure collec-tionhellip
So freshman girls this is your in-troduction Welcome to the Queen City the SUNY school with the most students ie the most hor-mones Your first step girls is to realize that these horny boys that only take their hand out of their pants to try and get them into yours are not worth it
I know that freshman year comes with endless changes and itrsquos ex-citing to get the sexual attention from boys that yoursquove been anx-iously waiting to receive Howev-er do yourself a favor and wait it out Donrsquot attack an opportunity to have random sex because waking up in a random house on South Campus is not fun even if he lets you keep his t-shirt in the morn-ing
Female college freshman are at the highest risk for sexual assault between the first day of school and Thanksgiving break accord-ing to Iowa State University
In addition according to the website Mom Logic 38 percent of freshmen admit to having sex with one or more people within the first two weeks of school
It is important to keep the boys waiting on their toes Let them keep you at the tip of your fingers but never let them hold all of you in their hand (no that was not a sexual reference)
Donrsquot let what happened to Kelli Leclair sophomore communica-tions major happen to you
ldquoOne night I met this kid at North-side and we danced for [about] 5 minutes He told me his name at one point but I was drunk so I donrsquot really remember itrdquo Leclair said ldquoHe brought me to his apart-ment and we had sex After about 20 minutes he told me to get out I walked out of his apartment and found myself alone on the street with one shoerdquo
Letrsquos take a stand for all the fresh-man girls that have been sucked into having one-night stands Girls get out there and show the boys that your vibrator fulfills wonders that they never could
Oh and if yoursquore really that horny and therersquos nothing that can stop you from getting it in then make sure you use protection Unless yoursquore into that teen mom busi-ness Recommendation Trojan Ecstasy Get on that and let me know what you think

Last year the space in front of Ellicott was a major construction site Now a gleaming tribute to ar-chitecture and technology stands proudly for all the campus to see Greiner Hall is officially open and students are loving it
This new dorm holds 600 sopho-mores who were chosen to live there by a lottery system last spring They are the first to live in the building which means that everything is brand new and in pristine condition The suite style living spaces contain two double rooms a bathroom and a storage area Each floor also has a lounge kitchen and laundry room and the building was designed with state-of-the-art technology
Along with the rooms the hall also houses classrooms meeting rooms and a new eatery on cam-pus called Au Bon Pain with seat-ing for 50 The building is Gold Certified in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental De-sign Green Building Rating System
(LEED) right on track with the Universitys many green initia-tives Roofed bike racks designed by UB Architecture students en-courage students to use their bikes as a greener form of transporta-tion and the surrounding trees and landscaping fit in perfectly with the clean green theme
Naturally the chosen students are pretty excited about living in the new dorm I love everything about it said Kelsey Clark a soph-omore Biomedical Sciences major Everything is so much nicer and cleaner and just more friendly looking
The inside of Greiner Hall is in pristine condition with smoothly running elevators window-walled lounges and expansive hallways peppered with sleek benches The rooms themselves can be com-pared to a hotel with high ceilings white walls and plenty of win-dows to brighten up the dorm
Greiners rooms are much bigger than [my dorm] was for me last year said Tom Sisti a sophomore Pre-Pharmacy major We can eas-ily fit twice as many people in our room as we could last year Its
also different having a big walk-in closet and your own bathroom
Greiner is the only dorm on cam-pus with air conditioning some-thing that students are definitely appreciating this time of year Res-idents can control the temperature of their own rooms creating the perfect atmosphere for studying relaxing or even some partying
The hall also introduced new mod-ern furniture for the residents to place around their rooms as they wish The flexible-use furnishings give the rooms a nice touch and add to the atmosphere that the building creates The hall has also stepped up the security with resi-dents having to swipe in each time they use the elevators as well as to get in to the dorms
But the lucky few who made it into the dorm arent complaining Ev-erything is so much better than last year Clark said Theres an automatic light in each room huge lounges on every floor and an amazing kitchen
While living in Greiner Hall defi-nitely has its perks residents have noticed some drawbacks as well
Parking kind of stinks Sisti said Its not easy to find a spot and if you do its probably pretty far away from the building
Since Greiner is a new building there have been a few things that needed to be worked out like a water leak that caused the resi-dents to lose their water on the second day of living in the dorm
All in all UB has done a great job with Greiner Hall The views are great the hallways sparkle and the living is pretty easy

merdquo Morgan said ldquoIrsquom not going to lie the attention is a little weird and itrsquos different from what Irsquom used to but I definitely want to bring attention to womenrsquos soccer in the states Irsquom going to help out womenrsquos soccer as much as I can I want to keep turning heads for womenrsquos sports in the US and in the worldrdquo
Flash head coach Aaran Lines isnrsquot focused on Morganrsquos ce-lebrity status Shersquos just another player in Linesrsquo eyes
ldquoI donrsquot pay that much attention to the mediardquo Lines said ldquoTo me I see our No 1 draft pick I watch what shersquos doing on the field at practice every day I donrsquot look at what the media is saying about herrdquo
Morgan believes the after-effect of the 1999 World Cup changed womenrsquos soccer forever Morgan knows that the popularity of womenrsquos soccer will die down again because the World Cup only takes place once every four years but she hopes that people will continue to pay attention Her professional team practically forced fans to continue tak-ing notice as the Flash tore apart the WPSL when Marta and Morgan returned from the World Cup The Flash went the final 11 games of the season without suffering a defeat
Poetically WNY began that streak following a 2-1 loss to Philadelphia The WPSL championship game mirrored Team USArsquos loss to Japan both WNY and the US blew late leads and both games headed to penalty kicks This time however Morgan wouldnrsquot settle for second place The Flash finished the season 14-2-3 as regular season champi-ons and WPS champions
Though WNY claimed a championship Morganrsquos loss in the World Cup finale remains fresh in her memory
[I want to use the following as a pull quote I think it would catch the readersrsquo attention So in quotes would be ldquoI went from scoring the first goalhellipbecause we didnrsquot see it first-handrdquo]
ldquoThe whole game was very emotionalrdquo Morgan said ldquoI went from scoring the first goal which was probably the best feeling Irsquoll ever have ndash I just wanted to cry on the field ndash to the penalty shootout which was up and down and very emotionally draining
ldquoWe were disappointed at the moment we were heartbro-ken We didnrsquot really feel the impact that we had on the US until we got home because we didnrsquot see it firsthand Coming back to the US and seeing the fans in the airport and in the hotel made us feel proud for the first time since we got the silver medalrdquo
Assistant coach Scott Vallow said the US players related to Americans via their fight drive bravery and never-say-die attitude and thatrsquos why they were able to captivate so many people
Lines said the US run was enormous for the game In his mind now people are well aware of whatrsquos going on so itrsquos been a miraculous spectacle for the Womenrsquos Professional Soccer League
It appeared that everybody in the US ndash including the me-dia ndash developed a soft spot for their womenrsquos national team in the tournament Various media outlets have been widely criticized for sympathizing with the US squad following the teamrsquos defeat in the final America went in with the No 1 ranking in the world but finished second in the tourna-ment Morgan has her own take on the topic
ldquoEveryonersquos always going to have their opinions and therersquos always going to be a devilrsquos advocate so thatrsquos finerdquo Mor-gan said ldquoPeople are entitled to their opinions Irsquove heard multiple things from we played the best game ndash I do think we played very well ndash to we chokedrdquo
It was difficult for Morgan to listen to the negative feed-back but she realizes that it comes with the territory and thinks thatrsquos just the way it goes in soccer sometimes
ldquoIn the US itrsquos usually first or nothing but therersquos been such an outpouring of overwhelming support and wersquore really thankful for thatrdquo Morgan said
Morgan urged fans to come out to a game in the future She said she hopes people realize that the WNY squad boasts players from six different countries that came together to play in Buffalorsquos backyard
Athletic trainer Gerard ldquoMickyrdquo Gingras noticed a drastic spike in attendance from young Flash fans Local teams frequently come out to Sahlenrsquos to watch the Flash practice and Gingras said the professional players love it as much as the kids

Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album Irsquom With You
Release Date Aug 29
Label Warner Bros
Grade A-
After the bandrsquos two-year hiatus Anthony Kiedis and crew are ready to stir up the alt-rock pot and bring the incredible sounds of Josh Klinghofferrsquos stunning guitar work and iconic bass-funk that will surely please audiences the world over
Although John Frusciante stepped out in the last days of the Stadium Arcadium tour Klinghoffer has filled the gaping void and brought along with him a sound entirely unlike any RHCP CD before
The opening track on Irsquom With You ldquoMonarchy of Rosesrdquo preps fans for the uniquely different sounds of the album Heavy distortion cements a marked difference between classic RHCP and the rest of this multifaceted compilation
Catchy and lyrically entrancing ldquoFactory of Faithrdquo delivers quality bass riffs along with Kiedisrsquo killer vocals to create an intriguing mix of old and new RHCP reminiscent of Stadium Arcadium
ldquoBrendanrsquos Death Songrdquo a heartfelt acoustic bal-lad covers the death of long-time friend and initial supporter Brendan Mullen Incorporating a harder rock tonality in its closing minutes the track bleeds directly from a hurting Anthony Kiedis and its emo-tional impact is deeply felt
The albumrsquos midsection does well to remember the bandrsquos peak of Californication as both ldquoEthiopiardquo and ldquoLook Aroundrdquo bring the same heavy bass and vocal tracks the band was known for syncing up in perfect form
Klinghoffer long-time friend of Frusciante enters the fray without missing a beat even progressing the bandrsquos sound by adding keyboard and vocals to many of the albumrsquos more appealing songs
The albumrsquos first single ldquoThe Adventures of Rain Dance Maggierdquo prominently features overtly sexual-ized lyrics and probably the best use of cowbell since Blue Oyster Cultrsquos stint with the reaper
Other highlights include ldquoDid I Let You Knowrdquo ldquoEven You Brutusrdquo and the mellow groove ldquoMeet Me at the Cornerrdquo each of which contribute their own diverse sounds to an already alien production
Fans expecting to come into a classic culmination of Kiedis Flea and Frusciante magic will be taken by surprise by the twists and turns of RHCPrsquos latest me-lodic concoction

Irsquom With Them NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
JAMESON BUTLER Senior Arts Editor
This summer lacked the big name album releases that generally populate your va-cation but that doesnrsquot mean that there werenrsquot albums that blew people away From indie to hip-hop numerous albums deserved the attention but lacked the pub-licity to get on the radio Here are the top 10 albums of the summer
Artist Frank Turner
Album England Keep My Bones
Release Date June 7
Label Epitaph
Acoustic guitar history and sentimental lyrics mdash these things are all prevalent on Frank Turnerrsquos fourth studio album Eng-land Keep My Bones From the haunting opening track ldquoEulogyrdquo to the agnostic closer ldquoGlory Hallelujahrdquo Turner contin-ues to add to an already stellar discogra-phy
Check out ldquoPeggy Sang the Bluesrdquo ldquoI Am Disappearedrdquo
Artist The Wonder Years
Album Suburbia Irsquove Given You All And Now Irsquom Noth-ing
Release Date June 14
Label Hopeless
Pop-punk has changed drastically since its heyday but apparently nobody told that to The Wonder Years Suburbia unleashes the angst of growing up in the suburbs and the confusing challenges of leaving it behind What separates Suburbia from countless other teen angst albums is the imagery created by vocalist Dan Camp-bell which cuts the listener straight to the bone
Check out ldquoLocal Man Ruins Everythingrdquo ldquoHoodie Weatherrdquo
Artist Taking Back Sunday
Album Taking Back Sunday
Release Date June 28
Label Warner Bros
For the first time since their groundbreak-ing debut Tell All Your Friends the origi-nal members of Taking Back Sunday have reconciled and returned to the studio The album has a clear Straylight Run (John Nolan and Shaun Cooperrsquos side project in between their tenures) influence which gives Taking Back Sunday some much-needed depth to what was a dwindling ca-reer
Check out ldquoMoney (Let it Go)rdquo ldquoYou Got Merdquo
Artist F Up
Album David Comes to Life
Release Date June 7
Label Matador
These Canadian hardcore punkers bring to life a story of heartache and despair The vivid lyrics depict the story of David who attempts to find love mdash only to lose it again mdash and the pain and guilt that en-sues The heavy instrumentals only add to the emotion of main singer Pink Eyesrsquo gut-wrenching vocals
Check out ldquoQueen of Heartsrdquo ldquoA Slanted Tonerdquo
Artist Hoodie Allen
Album Leap Year
Release Date July 26
Label None
Coming straight outta the lsquoburbs Hoodie Allen combines infectious beats with witty lyrics and creates one of the best hip-hop albums of the year and all without a label Leap Year has 13 tracks and each is just as catchy as the last The best part The album can be downloaded for free on his website
Check out ldquoJames Francordquo ldquoSong for an Actressrdquo
Artist Jay-Z and Kanye West
Album Watch The Throne
Release Date Aug 8
Label Roc-a-Fella
This album got so much hype before it came out that measuring up to it all seemed impossible but when two of the best rappers over the past decade collabo-rate itrsquos hard to screw up Kanye provides some spectacular beats and Jay-Z brings his impeccable flow to create an album that stands out from the rest
Check out ldquoN in Parisrdquo ldquoOtisrdquo
Artist Direct Hit
Album Domesplit-ter
Release Date Aug 2
Label Kind of Like Records
Direct Hit may just be an up-and-coming band but they rock like theyrsquove been around for years Trimming down theyrsquore free EP to just 10 high-energy in-your-face pop-punk anthems DH produces an album that parties as hard as it rocks Domesplitter showcases the bandrsquos love for their music and for their fans the only
problem is its short 26-minute run time
Check out ldquoMonster in the Closetrdquo ldquoLiving Deadrdquo
Artist Tyler the Cre-ator
Album Goblin
Release Date May 10
Label XL
By now there are few people that havenrsquot heard of Tyler the Creator or his over-the-top hip-hop collective Odd Future Tyler continues to make music that will make your skin crawl but his talent is undeni-able Goblin has the best production value of any Odd Future album and Tylerrsquos tal-ent only continues to grow
Check out ldquoTransylvaniardquo ldquoAnalogrdquo
Artist Bomb the Mu-sic Industry
Album Vacation
Release Date July 26
Label Quote Unquote Records
Bomb the Music Industry has returned with their sixth studio album which might just be their best ever Vacation sees BMI mature in front of the listener with the al-bum going against the bandrsquos previously juvenile grain Jeff Rosenstock comes into his own as a songwriter as he writes about the struggles of trying to build a home
Check out ldquoCanrsquot Complainrdquo ldquoVocal Coachrdquo
Artist Bon Iver
Album Bon Iver
Release Date June 21
Label Jagjaguwar
After a three-year gap Bon Iver has returned with another mesmerizing album Their self-titled soph-omore effort haunts the listener with its layered instrumentals and soul-searching lyrics It may have not been the giant step forward that many Bon Iver fans yearned for but Justin Vernon still manufactured one of the most beautiful albums of the summer

Superman Beyond Zero Issue
Between the constant retelling of his birth world-renowned deaths every few hundred issues and some serious time spent in his twilight years Supermanrsquos aging is as shod-dy as Lex Luthorrsquos latest plot
Mortality of a super-hero is an issue covered by writers far and wide and while ex-Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco does nothing to further the medium his take on the aged Man of Steel has a few peak-ing moments of greatness
Picking up a year after Supes left Earth on a journey of self-discov-ery the world he once defended is an altered beast reeking of crime filth and abundant gang warfare With the once-greatest defender of the planet on a year long vacation using ldquoall-out-warfarerdquo to describe the place is an understatement
DeFalco writes a slightly better than average tale and for every few rays of hope he casts an inescap-able shadow of dull-witted banter to accompany the rather serious undertones Backed by artist Sal Buscema the comic is intelligently drawn and inked but by no means noteworthy on its own
To catch a brief glimpse of a time where Terry McGinnis dons the cape and cowl of Batman and Supes needs to be home before Matlock ldquoSuperman Beyondrdquo is well worth its $399 price tag
A Week in Ink Issue No 26
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates No 1
In an industry rife with reboots Jonathan Hickmanrsquos early entry into a post-Spidey world is compet-ing with some of the heavyweights in its division and when all the pages are down ldquoThe Ultimates No 1rdquo is holding its own
Told through the eyes of the heavy-handed General Fury the plot re-sembles everything seen before in the Marvel Universe During global calamity the call goes out for Earthrsquos mightiest only for them to meet a foe unlike anything theyrsquove fought before
Although the flow of the issue is not trend setting in its own right Esad Ribicrsquos artwork is From a redesigned Captain Britain to the outlandish Asgardians getting ham-mered in a bar each panel goes above and beyond the call of duty
Strangely absent from the fray is Cap himself Though pictured on the cover Americarsquos Super Soldier is MIA a real letdown for any of those coming off the hype of this summerrsquos blockbuster hit
Besides a few relatively tiny snafus the issue as a whole is a sincerely solid attempt to reconstruct the for-mer champion Hickman lays the groundwork for an incredible com-ic series but this stand-alone pres-ents only a slice of the literary pie
Gears of War Issue No 19
Even in ink and panel form the crew of Delta Squad can never catch a break Following Marcus Fe-nix and his troops near the recently demolished Jacinto the melanchol-ic series moves forward by sketch-ing out the final moments of Gears of War 2
While the canon is represented in partial accuracy the true issues with this ink and panel transfor-mation is that nothing can replace EPICrsquos gun-toting brotastic shooter mdash even itself To the teamrsquos credit the panels are composed from grit-ty sanguine palettes and mostly represent the heart and soul of the beloved franchise
Unfortunately between the dia-logue and lack of substance it seems as though the Gears team could use a little more time in basic training While Cole spouts iconic phrases the team banter stays to a mini-mum a harsh contrast from the consistent team morale the EPIC writers work so hard to perpetuate
Even with Gears of War 3 head writer Karen Traviss pumping out issues the fantastic feats of Delta Squad are probably best left on screen While it offers some serious fan service for those waiting in the wings for the trilogyrsquos triumphant conclusion tepid fans will find no solace here

An Uplifting Party Plan
NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Label EMI Capitol
Release Date Sept 29 1987
Grade B+
One band encapsulated the entire culmination of LArsquos funky alterna-tive stylings and ingrained itself forever in the alt-rock pantheon This band was Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before John Frusciantersquos melodic composing and Hillel Slovakrsquos death threatened to break up the funk RHCP was one of the most original bands to ever hit SoCal Now years later The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a testament to a time in music history long past
The albumrsquos flagship track ldquoFight Like a Braverdquo sets the musical scene for the entire CD This song would go on to be a rock anthem for all who suffer from addiction mdash even though lead singer Anthony Kiedis would relapse only a few years later Its infectious bass riff and stellar chorus secure it as one of the best songs the band has ever produced
As the album progresses RHCP break out their signature funkadelic-rock sounds only rivaled by the likes of George Clinton and his eclec-tic collective Parliament Funkadelic Of note ldquoMe and My Friendsrdquo has the instrumentals and triumphant force that the band has worked feverishly to revisit ever since
Flearsquos legendary slap bass stylings reverberate through the next few tracks thrusting forceful funk into the listenerrsquos mind and solidifying the iconic revelry of a band on the edge of society
Like any well-remembered CD the musical landscape is drastically al-tered just when the listener settles into the bandrsquos comfort zone This hallowed feature comes in the form of ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo The combi-nation of Hillel Slovakrsquos stunning sitar and Flearsquos funk riff expertly blend together to produce a sound unlike anything the Chili Peppers have ever tried
The band derives much of its current style from this time period mak-ing The Uplift Mofo Party Plan the launching point for their recent work

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

OpinionWelcome to PandemoniumPoorly executed changes confusing and frustrating
A chance to ldquocelebrate the beginning of the aca-demic year and welcome new students to the campusrdquo is what UB promised students for the annual September Welcome event but many stu-dents have been welcomed by headaches frus-tration and worry
Roughly 70 percent of students receive financial aid In the past aid would be disbursed on Aug 20 and students would be able to view their bill online before the due date of Aug 23 with some level of comfort that the amount they are viewing is accurate
Not anymore as most of us have noticed via bills that have blown up faster than the Incredible Hulk on steroids UB has decided that paying out our financial aid in time for their own billrsquos due date was much too difficult and that they abso-lutely had to push the disbursement date back to Sept 10
Thatrsquos $140 million that the university is holding back
Yet they still sent out bills to every student with a clear due date of Aug 23 and a maelstrom of con-fusion began that is still raging Some students were unsure and thought the school was telling them that they had to pay by Aug 23 and felt forced to pay the entirety of their bill on a credit card Since UB is about as fast at getting checks out as a tenant behind on their rent itrsquos inevi-table that those students or their parents will be forced to pay interest on those cards
UB says they have a solution to their painfully slow check mailing Signing up for direct de-posit of your financial aid refund will speed the process up and get the money to you faster they say Many students however are fearful of giv-ing their account information over because they think itrsquos possible for the university to take out money as well as put money in Although this is not the case this should be clearly stated before-hand by the university to alleviate fears as it is always a good idea to be skeptical of putting your personal banking information online
On top of this rush students learned over the summer that the dropadd period was shortened to Sept 3 to drop and Sept 6 to add creating an-other layer of stress for students Very little can be gauged from a class in one week especially considering some classes are a single day a week and the first week tends to be lighter on material than the next week UB hopes that this will get students who donrsquot want to be in high demand classes out faster and get students who are clam-oring for a seat in A noble ambition but making the window shorter isnrsquot going to alleviate the problem itrsquos going to exacerbate it
There are other reasons for shortening the drop add period that intertwine with the later dis-bursement date They say pushing back the dropadd deadline and waiting on the financial aid
will allow them to make sure that everyone get-ting aid is still registered for the proper amount of classes This way students canrsquot get caught in a situation where they will be forced to give back money that they received and already spent
Surely this does happen but itrsquos not a common enough occurrence to warrant a change on this large of a scale and it certainly doesnrsquot justify holding all forms of aid including scholarships If the school wanted to solve this problem they should refrain from sending out checks or de-positing money until after the dropadd period and check on academic eligibility before sending them out Students could also be given an option to opt out of the dropadd period lock in their schedule and ensure that their aid and refunds are processed in a timely manner
Maybe the University would have heard sug-gestions like this had they informed us of the changes earlier but they didnrsquot Students were under the impression that the financial aid was complete in July and that there would be plenty of time for the aid to be applied
Most students have been blindsided by these troubles Considering our tuition was also hiked this summer UB should have been able to afford more than a single email trying to tell us that there would be a major policy change affecting our financial aid
As if this wasnrsquot enough the new HUB student center went online replacing BIRD and many other online services It is difficult to navigate finding class information is not any easier and it will log you out of your session very quickly
While some aspects of the HUB are good ideas such as the way to register for classes and accept-ing financial aid their implementation has been much less than ideal This seems much more like a beta release thatrsquos full of quirks rather than a well-developed system and a full release The ldquoto-do boxrdquo feature that is supposed to show upcom-ing deadlines and other issues hasnrsquot updated at all for many students
Itrsquos embarrassing for this school to be in such a debacle Last year UB coordinated four separate building projects simultaneously yet we are sup-posed to believe that this situation was too much to handle
Hopefully not as problems like this stay in peo-plersquos minds after they leave school just as strong-ly as the good memories It will be difficult to get Alumni to donate if their final memory of UB is that the big wigs decided to sacrifice the peace of mind of the student body just to make their jobs a little easier
Itrsquos also an intimidating factor for freshmen and it could scare them into thinking about transfer-ring
Our school needs to decide quickly what its path is going to take in the future We demand to be treated as the reason this school exists not as a number to be increased for the grand UB 2020 plan
Every fall roughly 30000 people flood the three UB campuses many of which are still trying to get into a certain class-es or are looking for a course to replace another
Usually students have two weeks to make a final decision about their sched-ule But this year UB without much no-tice decided to change the dropadd pe-riod Not only is it shorter but drop and add are on separate dates
This year students only have until Sept 3 to drop courses and Sept 6 to add courses This causes unnecessary confu-sion and does nothing but hurt the stu-dents
There are countless factors that go into whether a student will enjoy a class The professor the time the students around them and the workload are all prime examples of what can make or break a class for students
The two weeks that students had previ-ously was the perfect amount of time be-cause it gave students a chance to go to several classes before deciding on what to do Now with less than a week to de-cide whether to drop a class the deci-sion has been made that much harder
Most professors donrsquot do anything but go over the syllabi in the first class and can take a couple classes to get into the substance of the course Unfortunately now students do not have the luxury of waiting until the class finally gets going to decide if the material in the course is something that they can handle
Every professor has a different teaching style and talks about different things in their class It is vital that students get a taste of the professorrsquos lecturing before making a decision on whether to drop a class or not Thanks to UB that is no lon-ger possible
This will force students into taking class-es that might be overwhelming to them causing students to get a lower grade just because they didnrsquot have that extra week to shop for classes There will be someone who wants to drop a course and someone who needs it but since itrsquos passed Saturday they are out of luck
Another problem with shortening the dropadd period is the fact that UB has already cut many courses so the class choices are slim to begin with This gives students less of a chance to get into the one course they may need because the single section is closed up and people donrsquot have the time to decide if they want to drop it or not
This becomes a problem for seniors who need to get into a course to graduate A student might need a class that only UB only offers one semester and someone might want to drop it the second week but now those students will be hung out to dry
The faculty senate was responsible for the decision to shorten the dropadd pe-riod They said that the period was too long and it made students fall behind But what is worse a student who wants to be in the class and falls a few classes behind or a student who ends up despis-ing the course and end up getting an F on their transcript
While this might make it easier on fac-ulty and staff this is a university they should be trying to make the studentsrsquo lives easier

Where Did the Time Go

I know itrsquos clicheacute but I have to start my in-augural column with a welcome back to ev-eryone at UB If yoursquore a veteran reader of the paper or a new addi-tion I want to say thank you and that I hope The Spectrum will take cov-erage of UB to the next level this semester
Irsquove been thinking all summer about what I wanted to say in my opening issue and after a lot of thought itrsquos sim-ply this You Matter
Thatrsquos right Irsquom talk-ing to every person with a person That eight-digit number that we keep on the tip of tongue or on the tip of our pen seems to define us in a way during our time at UB
Being one of about 29000 can make you feel insignificant but Irsquom here to implore you to ignore that impulse at every cost I want to know what yoursquore
thinking and how you feel about any and ev-erything that happens at UB
You are the student body and we ndash The Spectrum ndash are your voice I fully expect you to use us to deliver your message to whomever it is intended for
This school is the great-est in the world in my eyes How corny right The funny part is that Irsquom serious I love UB and the past four years have been the best of my life Mostly because in that time I met my beautiful wife but also because of this school
UB represents the great-est parts of society We have a strongly knit community some of the smartest people in the world a great ath-letic program a beauti-ful campus and people that I feel genuinely care about the person sitting next to them in whatever class they end
up sitting in
I love this university so much that I have vowed in my position as editor in chief to do a service for this school providing the best cov-erage of every aspect of it that my staff and I can possibly give
The toughest part of the job is that I canrsquot do it alone even if I wanted to I need you ndash the UB student ndash to be my eyes on the outside and help hold people account-able as well as give peo-ple praise for a job well done
People tell me all the time ldquoTherersquos too much apathy at UB nobody really cares that much about whatrsquos going on At least not enough to speak up about itrdquo I tell those people how wrong I think they are and now I need you to prove it to them for me
This is an exciting time to be at UB We have a
new president a medi-cal school thatrsquos being moved downtown to help revitalize the city of Buffalo and an ath-letic program dedicated to providing top-notch talent to entertain us
If you see therersquos a game coming up get your free ticket If the president is doing a meet-and-greet be the first in line If the Stu-dent Association is put-ting on a movie night donrsquot miss it Experi-ence this campus and all the great stuff it has to offer
After yoursquore done let us know all about it and help us showcase the best school in the coun-try in the best city in the world
Have a great semester and we hope you keep reading

LifeFall Fashion Transitions
VERONICA RITTER Asst Life Editor
While itrsquos easy to find exactly what the latest fall fashion is when to start wearing it isnrsquot so clear I constantly hear girls ask them-selves lsquoWhen does one bid fare-well to their summer wardrobe and hello to jackets boots and hoodiesrsquo
In Buffalo itrsquos especially difficult to make that decision because the temperature outside isnrsquot too hot or too cold yet At the moment wersquore in fashion limbo idling be-tween two seasons Luckily how-ever therersquos a solution for that ndash you no longer have to choose
In past years wersquove segregated certain colors styles patterns and prints according to the time of the year But why are we so clothes-ist This fall hold onto summer a bit longer (and in Buffalo you know you want to) It may be hard to believe but it is possible to combine dresses florals brights and flats with cardigans scarves and boots in a stylish and appro-priate manner
Fall brings on colder times and darker days but your wardrobe doesnrsquot have to reflect it Although browns blacks and neutrals are more closely associated with the upcoming time of year itrsquos out with the old and in with the new
Brights are catching attention and turning heads I recommended color blocking for spring and sum-mer but with fall comes single shades of eye-popping volumes A bright pump lets you standing out at night in a good way A bright top or dress paired with a neu-tral colored pair of boots does the trick and leaves others in awe of your ability to smoothly mix two seasons into one outfit
Florals have strictly been man-dated toward spring and summer months for years but why should they get to have all the fun Over-lap your floral top with a cardi-gan like our Look of the Week Megan Walker did and yoursquoll be fall ready with no confusion Add some stylish accessories easily af-fordable at HampM or Forever21 like Meganrsquos owl necklace or coral earrings and yoursquove got the look Megan describes as ldquoclassy hip-sterrdquo down pat
Scarves are also a great transition-al piece While the weather may not agree just yet scarves over tanks or cropped tops get along just fine Itrsquos a perfect accessory to throw on for instant fashion that is effortless I love seeing scarves no matter what time of year it is and the multiple ways people wear them (Check out Fridayrsquos issue to see a few and to get new ideas)

From growing up together in Cou-dersport Pa to running a self-cre-ated online business that markets restaurants in Buffalo brothers Chris and Rob Cavallari and friend Josh Corey are satisfying their cravings by helping students sat-isfy their own
Corey a 2010 Penn State graduate thought that Buffalo would be the perfect place for an online food or-dering service Penn State offers a website to students that gives them the convenience of ordering meals from various restaurants around the campus
After a famishing first day on the job in Buffalo last year Corey real-ized what little opportunities there were to order food via computer Being accustomed to this service throughout his college career he sought to create a convenient way for Buffalo students and residents to easily get food
ldquoI got in contact with Chris and said we should start a website for Buffalo I think itrsquod be awesomehellipand we started figuring out how we could workrdquo Corey said
After getting on board with the idea the three partnered up with LocalUp Solutions a company created in 2009 which provides its services to over 30 campuses across the US UB is now one of
them through BuffEatscom
BuffEats launched its website on Aug 1 and began promoting its services to students on North Cam-pus with the hope of spreading its wings to South Campus in the spring Up until now it pushed its new service on facebook and is already up to 300-500 hits on their website including an average of 20 orders a day They hope to make the meal ordering process whether itrsquos pick-up or delivery a smoother and more precise expe-rience for students
ldquoWersquore starting out at the Univer-sity at Buffalo and just getting the word out here as much as we can and eventually wersquoll slowly start spreading all through Buffalordquo Co-rey said ldquoOur overall goal is that every restaurant in Buffalo is on our websiterdquo
Just Pizza and Johnrsquos Pizza and Subs are just a couple of the 17 res-taurants that have already signed up with BuffEats By the fall they expect close to 30 restaurants sur-rounding North Campus to follow the BuffEats trend
The website helps students save money by offering exclusive deals Currently BuffEats is offering a ldquoBack to School Specialrdquo running until Sept 4 They will continue to offer deals for specific events and holidays as well as giveaways from pizza to even Bills tickets
Following them on Twitter or lik-ing them on Facebook gives stu-dents the opportunity to partici-pate and win
The site also includes maps of each restaurant so picking up a meal becomes worry-free Not to men-tion the ease of doing it online and the assurance that what you order is exactly what yoursquoll get
ldquoYou can get all the same food in the Student Union all the time but the real food in Buffalo is definite-ly something we want all students to experience Especially the inter-national students trying to help them get food closer to their cul-turerdquo Chris said
The company while only just cre-ated this past summer already has a lot to show for itself BuffEats offers a wide range of food from American to Chinese Japanese and more They are looking to ex-pand not only to South Campus residential areas and other near-by colleges but also their menu to desserts as well And with no place but forward to go it is sure to become an even bigger success mdash changing the world one hungry student at a time

Letrsquos Talk About Sex BabyFresh Meat
Asst Life Desk Editor KEREN BARUCH
Itrsquos the first week of freshman year and Thursday night at the Main Street bars is poppinrsquo Ev-eryone is taking shots as if theyrsquoll never get a sip of alcohol again hoping to reach that level of ulti-mate drunk so that they can ex-cuse their actions of the night A senior boy gently grazes his hand over your behind and whispers in your ear ldquoWhatrsquos your name beautifulrdquo
Itrsquos too dark he doesnrsquot actually think yoursquore beautiful
Hersquos going to forget your name in 5 minutes 10 if yoursquore lucky
Anyway letrsquos continue You get angry and a bit nervous so you pull away but he pulls you in so his chest is pressed up against yours With his breath smelling so strongly of beer that you can taste it he says ldquoCome on Irsquom not tryna f letrsquos just get outta hererdquo
Oh I understand You want a drunk girl wearing a tight dress to come over so you can show her your new action figure collec-tionhellip
So freshman girls this is your in-troduction Welcome to the Queen City the SUNY school with the most students ie the most hor-mones Your first step girls is to realize that these horny boys that only take their hand out of their pants to try and get them into yours are not worth it
I know that freshman year comes with endless changes and itrsquos ex-citing to get the sexual attention from boys that yoursquove been anx-iously waiting to receive Howev-er do yourself a favor and wait it out Donrsquot attack an opportunity to have random sex because waking up in a random house on South Campus is not fun even if he lets you keep his t-shirt in the morn-ing
Female college freshman are at the highest risk for sexual assault between the first day of school and Thanksgiving break accord-ing to Iowa State University
In addition according to the website Mom Logic 38 percent of freshmen admit to having sex with one or more people within the first two weeks of school
It is important to keep the boys waiting on their toes Let them keep you at the tip of your fingers but never let them hold all of you in their hand (no that was not a sexual reference)
Donrsquot let what happened to Kelli Leclair sophomore communica-tions major happen to you
ldquoOne night I met this kid at North-side and we danced for [about] 5 minutes He told me his name at one point but I was drunk so I donrsquot really remember itrdquo Leclair said ldquoHe brought me to his apart-ment and we had sex After about 20 minutes he told me to get out I walked out of his apartment and found myself alone on the street with one shoerdquo
Letrsquos take a stand for all the fresh-man girls that have been sucked into having one-night stands Girls get out there and show the boys that your vibrator fulfills wonders that they never could
Oh and if yoursquore really that horny and therersquos nothing that can stop you from getting it in then make sure you use protection Unless yoursquore into that teen mom busi-ness Recommendation Trojan Ecstasy Get on that and let me know what you think

Last year the space in front of Ellicott was a major construction site Now a gleaming tribute to ar-chitecture and technology stands proudly for all the campus to see Greiner Hall is officially open and students are loving it
This new dorm holds 600 sopho-mores who were chosen to live there by a lottery system last spring They are the first to live in the building which means that everything is brand new and in pristine condition The suite style living spaces contain two double rooms a bathroom and a storage area Each floor also has a lounge kitchen and laundry room and the building was designed with state-of-the-art technology
Along with the rooms the hall also houses classrooms meeting rooms and a new eatery on cam-pus called Au Bon Pain with seat-ing for 50 The building is Gold Certified in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental De-sign Green Building Rating System
(LEED) right on track with the Universitys many green initia-tives Roofed bike racks designed by UB Architecture students en-courage students to use their bikes as a greener form of transporta-tion and the surrounding trees and landscaping fit in perfectly with the clean green theme
Naturally the chosen students are pretty excited about living in the new dorm I love everything about it said Kelsey Clark a soph-omore Biomedical Sciences major Everything is so much nicer and cleaner and just more friendly looking
The inside of Greiner Hall is in pristine condition with smoothly running elevators window-walled lounges and expansive hallways peppered with sleek benches The rooms themselves can be com-pared to a hotel with high ceilings white walls and plenty of win-dows to brighten up the dorm
Greiners rooms are much bigger than [my dorm] was for me last year said Tom Sisti a sophomore Pre-Pharmacy major We can eas-ily fit twice as many people in our room as we could last year Its
also different having a big walk-in closet and your own bathroom
Greiner is the only dorm on cam-pus with air conditioning some-thing that students are definitely appreciating this time of year Res-idents can control the temperature of their own rooms creating the perfect atmosphere for studying relaxing or even some partying
The hall also introduced new mod-ern furniture for the residents to place around their rooms as they wish The flexible-use furnishings give the rooms a nice touch and add to the atmosphere that the building creates The hall has also stepped up the security with resi-dents having to swipe in each time they use the elevators as well as to get in to the dorms
But the lucky few who made it into the dorm arent complaining Ev-erything is so much better than last year Clark said Theres an automatic light in each room huge lounges on every floor and an amazing kitchen
While living in Greiner Hall defi-nitely has its perks residents have noticed some drawbacks as well
Parking kind of stinks Sisti said Its not easy to find a spot and if you do its probably pretty far away from the building
Since Greiner is a new building there have been a few things that needed to be worked out like a water leak that caused the resi-dents to lose their water on the second day of living in the dorm
All in all UB has done a great job with Greiner Hall The views are great the hallways sparkle and the living is pretty easy

merdquo Morgan said ldquoIrsquom not going to lie the attention is a little weird and itrsquos different from what Irsquom used to but I definitely want to bring attention to womenrsquos soccer in the states Irsquom going to help out womenrsquos soccer as much as I can I want to keep turning heads for womenrsquos sports in the US and in the worldrdquo
Flash head coach Aaran Lines isnrsquot focused on Morganrsquos ce-lebrity status Shersquos just another player in Linesrsquo eyes
ldquoI donrsquot pay that much attention to the mediardquo Lines said ldquoTo me I see our No 1 draft pick I watch what shersquos doing on the field at practice every day I donrsquot look at what the media is saying about herrdquo
Morgan believes the after-effect of the 1999 World Cup changed womenrsquos soccer forever Morgan knows that the popularity of womenrsquos soccer will die down again because the World Cup only takes place once every four years but she hopes that people will continue to pay attention Her professional team practically forced fans to continue tak-ing notice as the Flash tore apart the WPSL when Marta and Morgan returned from the World Cup The Flash went the final 11 games of the season without suffering a defeat
Poetically WNY began that streak following a 2-1 loss to Philadelphia The WPSL championship game mirrored Team USArsquos loss to Japan both WNY and the US blew late leads and both games headed to penalty kicks This time however Morgan wouldnrsquot settle for second place The Flash finished the season 14-2-3 as regular season champi-ons and WPS champions
Though WNY claimed a championship Morganrsquos loss in the World Cup finale remains fresh in her memory
[I want to use the following as a pull quote I think it would catch the readersrsquo attention So in quotes would be ldquoI went from scoring the first goalhellipbecause we didnrsquot see it first-handrdquo]
ldquoThe whole game was very emotionalrdquo Morgan said ldquoI went from scoring the first goal which was probably the best feeling Irsquoll ever have ndash I just wanted to cry on the field ndash to the penalty shootout which was up and down and very emotionally draining
ldquoWe were disappointed at the moment we were heartbro-ken We didnrsquot really feel the impact that we had on the US until we got home because we didnrsquot see it firsthand Coming back to the US and seeing the fans in the airport and in the hotel made us feel proud for the first time since we got the silver medalrdquo
Assistant coach Scott Vallow said the US players related to Americans via their fight drive bravery and never-say-die attitude and thatrsquos why they were able to captivate so many people
Lines said the US run was enormous for the game In his mind now people are well aware of whatrsquos going on so itrsquos been a miraculous spectacle for the Womenrsquos Professional Soccer League
It appeared that everybody in the US ndash including the me-dia ndash developed a soft spot for their womenrsquos national team in the tournament Various media outlets have been widely criticized for sympathizing with the US squad following the teamrsquos defeat in the final America went in with the No 1 ranking in the world but finished second in the tourna-ment Morgan has her own take on the topic
ldquoEveryonersquos always going to have their opinions and therersquos always going to be a devilrsquos advocate so thatrsquos finerdquo Mor-gan said ldquoPeople are entitled to their opinions Irsquove heard multiple things from we played the best game ndash I do think we played very well ndash to we chokedrdquo
It was difficult for Morgan to listen to the negative feed-back but she realizes that it comes with the territory and thinks thatrsquos just the way it goes in soccer sometimes
ldquoIn the US itrsquos usually first or nothing but therersquos been such an outpouring of overwhelming support and wersquore really thankful for thatrdquo Morgan said
Morgan urged fans to come out to a game in the future She said she hopes people realize that the WNY squad boasts players from six different countries that came together to play in Buffalorsquos backyard
Athletic trainer Gerard ldquoMickyrdquo Gingras noticed a drastic spike in attendance from young Flash fans Local teams frequently come out to Sahlenrsquos to watch the Flash practice and Gingras said the professional players love it as much as the kids
The Flash have a connection with UB too Center back Kim-berly Brandatildeo is Portugalrsquos captain and an assistant coach for UBrsquos womenrsquos soccer team
Brandatildeo said all her different professional and national experiences have assisted her coaching career at UB She knows what itrsquos like for the players and shersquos aware of the amount of dedication it takes to play at the highest level
ldquoThe World Cup was a great showcase of what womenrsquos soccer is going to be like and how good it can really getrdquo Brandatildeo said ldquoWersquore just trying to do our part to make it as big as possiblerdquo
Just how big can womenrsquos soccer get That remains to be seen But one thing is certain Morgan is doing her part
ldquoWersquove got peoplersquos attentionrdquo Morgan said ldquoNow we just need to keep itrdquo

Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album Irsquom With You
Release Date Aug 29
Label Warner Bros
Grade A-
After the bandrsquos two-year hiatus Anthony Kiedis and crew are ready to stir up the alt-rock pot and bring the incredible sounds of Josh Klinghofferrsquos stunning guitar work and iconic bass-funk that will surely please audiences the world over
Although John Frusciante stepped out in the last days of the Stadium Arcadium tour Klinghoffer has filled the gaping void and brought along with him a sound entirely unlike any RHCP CD before
The opening track on Irsquom With You ldquoMonarchy of Rosesrdquo preps fans for the uniquely different sounds of the album Heavy distortion cements a marked difference between classic RHCP and the rest of this multifaceted compilation
Catchy and lyrically entrancing ldquoFactory of Faithrdquo delivers quality bass riffs along with Kiedisrsquo killer vocals to create an intriguing mix of old and new RHCP reminiscent of Stadium Arcadium
ldquoBrendanrsquos Death Songrdquo a heartfelt acoustic bal-lad covers the death of long-time friend and initial supporter Brendan Mullen Incorporating a harder rock tonality in its closing minutes the track bleeds directly from a hurting Anthony Kiedis and its emo-tional impact is deeply felt
The albumrsquos midsection does well to remember the bandrsquos peak of Californication as both ldquoEthiopiardquo and ldquoLook Aroundrdquo bring the same heavy bass and vocal tracks the band was known for syncing up in perfect form
Klinghoffer long-time friend of Frusciante enters the fray without missing a beat even progressing the bandrsquos sound by adding keyboard and vocals to many of the albumrsquos more appealing songs
The albumrsquos first single ldquoThe Adventures of Rain Dance Maggierdquo prominently features overtly sexual-ized lyrics and probably the best use of cowbell since Blue Oyster Cultrsquos stint with the reaper
Other highlights include ldquoDid I Let You Knowrdquo ldquoEven You Brutusrdquo and the mellow groove ldquoMeet Me at the Cornerrdquo each of which contribute their own diverse sounds to an already alien production
Fans expecting to come into a classic culmination of Kiedis Flea and Frusciante magic will be taken by surprise by the twists and turns of RHCPrsquos latest me-lodic concoction

Irsquom With Them NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
JAMESON BUTLER Senior Arts Editor
This summer lacked the big name album releases that generally populate your va-cation but that doesnrsquot mean that there werenrsquot albums that blew people away From indie to hip-hop numerous albums deserved the attention but lacked the pub-licity to get on the radio Here are the top 10 albums of the summer
Artist Frank Turner
Album England Keep My Bones
Release Date June 7
Label Epitaph
Acoustic guitar history and sentimental lyrics mdash these things are all prevalent on Frank Turnerrsquos fourth studio album Eng-land Keep My Bones From the haunting opening track ldquoEulogyrdquo to the agnostic closer ldquoGlory Hallelujahrdquo Turner contin-ues to add to an already stellar discogra-phy
Check out ldquoPeggy Sang the Bluesrdquo ldquoI Am Disappearedrdquo
Artist The Wonder Years
Album Suburbia Irsquove Given You All And Now Irsquom Noth-ing
Release Date June 14
Label Hopeless
Pop-punk has changed drastically since its heyday but apparently nobody told that to The Wonder Years Suburbia unleashes the angst of growing up in the suburbs and the confusing challenges of leaving it behind What separates Suburbia from countless other teen angst albums is the imagery created by vocalist Dan Camp-bell which cuts the listener straight to the bone
Check out ldquoLocal Man Ruins Everythingrdquo ldquoHoodie Weatherrdquo
Artist Taking Back Sunday
Album Taking Back Sunday
Release Date June 28
Label Warner Bros
For the first time since their groundbreak-ing debut Tell All Your Friends the origi-nal members of Taking Back Sunday have reconciled and returned to the studio The album has a clear Straylight Run (John Nolan and Shaun Cooperrsquos side project in between their tenures) influence which gives Taking Back Sunday some much-needed depth to what was a dwindling ca-reer
Check out ldquoMoney (Let it Go)rdquo ldquoYou Got Merdquo
Artist F Up
Album David Comes to Life
Release Date June 7
Label Matador
These Canadian hardcore punkers bring to life a story of heartache and despair The vivid lyrics depict the story of David who attempts to find love mdash only to lose it again mdash and the pain and guilt that en-sues The heavy instrumentals only add to the emotion of main singer Pink Eyesrsquo gut-wrenching vocals
Check out ldquoQueen of Heartsrdquo ldquoA Slanted Tonerdquo
Artist Hoodie Allen
Album Leap Year
Release Date July 26
Label None
Coming straight outta the lsquoburbs Hoodie Allen combines infectious beats with witty lyrics and creates one of the best hip-hop albums of the year and all without a label Leap Year has 13 tracks and each is just as catchy as the last The best part The album can be downloaded for free on his website
Check out ldquoJames Francordquo ldquoSong for an Actressrdquo
Artist Jay-Z and Kanye West
Album Watch The Throne
Release Date Aug 8
Label Roc-a-Fella
This album got so much hype before it came out that measuring up to it all seemed impossible but when two of the best rappers over the past decade collabo-rate itrsquos hard to screw up Kanye provides some spectacular beats and Jay-Z brings his impeccable flow to create an album that stands out from the rest
Check out ldquoN in Parisrdquo ldquoOtisrdquo
Artist Direct Hit
Album Domesplit-ter
Release Date Aug 2
Label Kind of Like Records
Direct Hit may just be an up-and-coming band but they rock like theyrsquove been around for years Trimming down theyrsquore free EP to just 10 high-energy in-your-face pop-punk anthems DH produces an album that parties as hard as it rocks Domesplitter showcases the bandrsquos love for their music and for their fans the only
problem is its short 26-minute run time
Check out ldquoMonster in the Closetrdquo ldquoLiving Deadrdquo
Artist Tyler the Cre-ator
Album Goblin
Release Date May 10
Label XL
By now there are few people that havenrsquot heard of Tyler the Creator or his over-the-top hip-hop collective Odd Future Tyler continues to make music that will make your skin crawl but his talent is undeni-able Goblin has the best production value of any Odd Future album and Tylerrsquos tal-ent only continues to grow
Check out ldquoTransylvaniardquo ldquoAnalogrdquo
Artist Bomb the Mu-sic Industry
Album Vacation
Release Date July 26
Label Quote Unquote Records
Bomb the Music Industry has returned with their sixth studio album which might just be their best ever Vacation sees BMI mature in front of the listener with the al-bum going against the bandrsquos previously juvenile grain Jeff Rosenstock comes into his own as a songwriter as he writes about the struggles of trying to build a home

Superman Beyond Zero Issue
Between the constant retelling of his birth world-renowned deaths every few hundred issues and some serious time spent in his twilight years Supermanrsquos aging is as shod-dy as Lex Luthorrsquos latest plot
Mortality of a super-hero is an issue covered by writers far and wide and while ex-Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco does nothing to further the medium his take on the aged Man of Steel has a few peak-ing moments of greatness
Picking up a year after Supes left Earth on a journey of self-discov-ery the world he once defended is an altered beast reeking of crime filth and abundant gang warfare With the once-greatest defender of the planet on a year long vacation using ldquoall-out-warfarerdquo to describe the place is an understatement
DeFalco writes a slightly better than average tale and for every few rays of hope he casts an inescap-able shadow of dull-witted banter to accompany the rather serious undertones Backed by artist Sal Buscema the comic is intelligently drawn and inked but by no means noteworthy on its own
To catch a brief glimpse of a time where Terry McGinnis dons the cape and cowl of Batman and Supes needs to be home before Matlock ldquoSuperman Beyondrdquo is well worth its $399 price tag
A Week in Ink Issue No 26
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates No 1
In an industry rife with reboots Jonathan Hickmanrsquos early entry into a post-Spidey world is compet-ing with some of the heavyweights in its division and when all the pages are down ldquoThe Ultimates No 1rdquo is holding its own
Told through the eyes of the heavy-handed General Fury the plot re-sembles everything seen before in the Marvel Universe During global calamity the call goes out for Earthrsquos mightiest only for them to meet a foe unlike anything theyrsquove fought before
Although the flow of the issue is not trend setting in its own right Esad Ribicrsquos artwork is From a redesigned Captain Britain to the outlandish Asgardians getting ham-mered in a bar each panel goes above and beyond the call of duty
Strangely absent from the fray is Cap himself Though pictured on the cover Americarsquos Super Soldier is MIA a real letdown for any of those coming off the hype of this summerrsquos blockbuster hit
Besides a few relatively tiny snafus the issue as a whole is a sincerely solid attempt to reconstruct the for-mer champion Hickman lays the groundwork for an incredible com-ic series but this stand-alone pres-ents only a slice of the literary pie
Gears of War Issue No 19
Even in ink and panel form the crew of Delta Squad can never catch a break Following Marcus Fe-nix and his troops near the recently demolished Jacinto the melanchol-ic series moves forward by sketch-ing out the final moments of Gears of War 2
While the canon is represented in partial accuracy the true issues with this ink and panel transfor-mation is that nothing can replace EPICrsquos gun-toting brotastic shooter mdash even itself To the teamrsquos credit the panels are composed from grit-ty sanguine palettes and mostly represent the heart and soul of the beloved franchise
Unfortunately between the dia-logue and lack of substance it seems as though the Gears team could use a little more time in basic training While Cole spouts iconic phrases the team banter stays to a mini-mum a harsh contrast from the consistent team morale the EPIC writers work so hard to perpetuate
Even with Gears of War 3 head writer Karen Traviss pumping out issues the fantastic feats of Delta Squad are probably best left on screen While it offers some serious fan service for those waiting in the wings for the trilogyrsquos triumphant conclusion tepid fans will find no solace here

An Uplifting Party Plan
NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Label EMI Capitol
Release Date Sept 29 1987
Grade B+
One band encapsulated the entire culmination of LArsquos funky alterna-tive stylings and ingrained itself forever in the alt-rock pantheon This band was Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before John Frusciantersquos melodic composing and Hillel Slovakrsquos death threatened to break up the funk RHCP was one of the most original bands to ever hit SoCal Now years later The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a testament to a time in music history long past
The albumrsquos flagship track ldquoFight Like a Braverdquo sets the musical scene for the entire CD This song would go on to be a rock anthem for all who suffer from addiction mdash even though lead singer Anthony Kiedis would relapse only a few years later Its infectious bass riff and stellar chorus secure it as one of the best songs the band has ever produced
As the album progresses RHCP break out their signature funkadelic-rock sounds only rivaled by the likes of George Clinton and his eclec-tic collective Parliament Funkadelic Of note ldquoMe and My Friendsrdquo has the instrumentals and triumphant force that the band has worked feverishly to revisit ever since
Flearsquos legendary slap bass stylings reverberate through the next few tracks thrusting forceful funk into the listenerrsquos mind and solidifying the iconic revelry of a band on the edge of society
Like any well-remembered CD the musical landscape is drastically al-tered just when the listener settles into the bandrsquos comfort zone This hallowed feature comes in the form of ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo The combi-nation of Hillel Slovakrsquos stunning sitar and Flearsquos funk riff expertly blend together to produce a sound unlike anything the Chili Peppers have ever tried
The band derives much of its current style from this time period mak-ing The Uplift Mofo Party Plan the launching point for their recent work

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

LifeFall Fashion Transitions
VERONICA RITTER Asst Life Editor
While itrsquos easy to find exactly what the latest fall fashion is when to start wearing it isnrsquot so clear I constantly hear girls ask them-selves lsquoWhen does one bid fare-well to their summer wardrobe and hello to jackets boots and hoodiesrsquo
In Buffalo itrsquos especially difficult to make that decision because the temperature outside isnrsquot too hot or too cold yet At the moment wersquore in fashion limbo idling be-tween two seasons Luckily how-ever therersquos a solution for that ndash you no longer have to choose
In past years wersquove segregated certain colors styles patterns and prints according to the time of the year But why are we so clothes-ist This fall hold onto summer a bit longer (and in Buffalo you know you want to) It may be hard to believe but it is possible to combine dresses florals brights and flats with cardigans scarves and boots in a stylish and appro-priate manner
Fall brings on colder times and darker days but your wardrobe doesnrsquot have to reflect it Although browns blacks and neutrals are more closely associated with the upcoming time of year itrsquos out with the old and in with the new
Brights are catching attention and turning heads I recommended color blocking for spring and sum-mer but with fall comes single shades of eye-popping volumes A bright pump lets you standing out at night in a good way A bright top or dress paired with a neu-tral colored pair of boots does the trick and leaves others in awe of your ability to smoothly mix two seasons into one outfit
Florals have strictly been man-dated toward spring and summer months for years but why should they get to have all the fun Over-lap your floral top with a cardi-gan like our Look of the Week Megan Walker did and yoursquoll be fall ready with no confusion Add some stylish accessories easily af-fordable at HampM or Forever21 like Meganrsquos owl necklace or coral earrings and yoursquove got the look Megan describes as ldquoclassy hip-sterrdquo down pat
Scarves are also a great transition-al piece While the weather may not agree just yet scarves over tanks or cropped tops get along just fine Itrsquos a perfect accessory to throw on for instant fashion that is effortless I love seeing scarves no matter what time of year it is and the multiple ways people wear them (Check out Fridayrsquos issue to see a few and to get new ideas)

From growing up together in Cou-dersport Pa to running a self-cre-ated online business that markets restaurants in Buffalo brothers Chris and Rob Cavallari and friend Josh Corey are satisfying their cravings by helping students sat-isfy their own
Corey a 2010 Penn State graduate thought that Buffalo would be the perfect place for an online food or-dering service Penn State offers a website to students that gives them the convenience of ordering meals from various restaurants around the campus
After a famishing first day on the job in Buffalo last year Corey real-ized what little opportunities there were to order food via computer Being accustomed to this service throughout his college career he sought to create a convenient way for Buffalo students and residents to easily get food
ldquoI got in contact with Chris and said we should start a website for Buffalo I think itrsquod be awesomehellipand we started figuring out how we could workrdquo Corey said
After getting on board with the idea the three partnered up with LocalUp Solutions a company created in 2009 which provides its services to over 30 campuses across the US UB is now one of
them through BuffEatscom
BuffEats launched its website on Aug 1 and began promoting its services to students on North Cam-pus with the hope of spreading its wings to South Campus in the spring Up until now it pushed its new service on facebook and is already up to 300-500 hits on their website including an average of 20 orders a day They hope to make the meal ordering process whether itrsquos pick-up or delivery a smoother and more precise expe-rience for students
ldquoWersquore starting out at the Univer-sity at Buffalo and just getting the word out here as much as we can and eventually wersquoll slowly start spreading all through Buffalordquo Co-rey said ldquoOur overall goal is that every restaurant in Buffalo is on our websiterdquo
Just Pizza and Johnrsquos Pizza and Subs are just a couple of the 17 res-taurants that have already signed up with BuffEats By the fall they expect close to 30 restaurants sur-rounding North Campus to follow the BuffEats trend
The website helps students save money by offering exclusive deals Currently BuffEats is offering a ldquoBack to School Specialrdquo running until Sept 4 They will continue to offer deals for specific events and holidays as well as giveaways from pizza to even Bills tickets
Following them on Twitter or lik-ing them on Facebook gives stu-dents the opportunity to partici-pate and win
The site also includes maps of each restaurant so picking up a meal becomes worry-free Not to men-tion the ease of doing it online and the assurance that what you order is exactly what yoursquoll get
ldquoYou can get all the same food in the Student Union all the time but the real food in Buffalo is definite-ly something we want all students to experience Especially the inter-national students trying to help them get food closer to their cul-turerdquo Chris said
The company while only just cre-ated this past summer already has a lot to show for itself BuffEats offers a wide range of food from American to Chinese Japanese and more They are looking to ex-pand not only to South Campus residential areas and other near-by colleges but also their menu to desserts as well And with no place but forward to go it is sure to become an even bigger success mdash changing the world one hungry student at a time

Letrsquos Talk About Sex BabyFresh Meat
Asst Life Desk Editor KEREN BARUCH
Itrsquos the first week of freshman year and Thursday night at the Main Street bars is poppinrsquo Ev-eryone is taking shots as if theyrsquoll never get a sip of alcohol again hoping to reach that level of ulti-mate drunk so that they can ex-cuse their actions of the night A senior boy gently grazes his hand over your behind and whispers in your ear ldquoWhatrsquos your name beautifulrdquo
Itrsquos too dark he doesnrsquot actually think yoursquore beautiful
Hersquos going to forget your name in 5 minutes 10 if yoursquore lucky
Anyway letrsquos continue You get angry and a bit nervous so you pull away but he pulls you in so his chest is pressed up against yours With his breath smelling so strongly of beer that you can taste it he says ldquoCome on Irsquom not tryna f letrsquos just get outta hererdquo
Oh I understand You want a drunk girl wearing a tight dress to come over so you can show her your new action figure collec-tionhellip
So freshman girls this is your in-troduction Welcome to the Queen City the SUNY school with the most students ie the most hor-mones Your first step girls is to realize that these horny boys that only take their hand out of their pants to try and get them into yours are not worth it
I know that freshman year comes with endless changes and itrsquos ex-citing to get the sexual attention from boys that yoursquove been anx-iously waiting to receive Howev-er do yourself a favor and wait it out Donrsquot attack an opportunity to have random sex because waking up in a random house on South Campus is not fun even if he lets you keep his t-shirt in the morn-ing
Female college freshman are at the highest risk for sexual assault between the first day of school and Thanksgiving break accord-ing to Iowa State University
In addition according to the website Mom Logic 38 percent of freshmen admit to having sex with one or more people within the first two weeks of school
It is important to keep the boys waiting on their toes Let them keep you at the tip of your fingers but never let them hold all of you in their hand (no that was not a sexual reference)
Donrsquot let what happened to Kelli Leclair sophomore communica-tions major happen to you
ldquoOne night I met this kid at North-side and we danced for [about] 5 minutes He told me his name at one point but I was drunk so I donrsquot really remember itrdquo Leclair said ldquoHe brought me to his apart-ment and we had sex After about 20 minutes he told me to get out I walked out of his apartment and found myself alone on the street with one shoerdquo
Letrsquos take a stand for all the fresh-man girls that have been sucked into having one-night stands Girls get out there and show the boys that your vibrator fulfills wonders that they never could
Oh and if yoursquore really that horny and therersquos nothing that can stop you from getting it in then make sure you use protection Unless yoursquore into that teen mom busi-ness Recommendation Trojan Ecstasy Get on that and let me know what you think

Last year the space in front of Ellicott was a major construction site Now a gleaming tribute to ar-chitecture and technology stands proudly for all the campus to see Greiner Hall is officially open and students are loving it
This new dorm holds 600 sopho-mores who were chosen to live there by a lottery system last spring They are the first to live in the building which means that everything is brand new and in pristine condition The suite style living spaces contain two double rooms a bathroom and a storage area Each floor also has a lounge kitchen and laundry room and the building was designed with state-of-the-art technology
Along with the rooms the hall also houses classrooms meeting rooms and a new eatery on cam-pus called Au Bon Pain with seat-ing for 50 The building is Gold Certified in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental De-sign Green Building Rating System
(LEED) right on track with the Universitys many green initia-tives Roofed bike racks designed by UB Architecture students en-courage students to use their bikes as a greener form of transporta-tion and the surrounding trees and landscaping fit in perfectly with the clean green theme
Naturally the chosen students are pretty excited about living in the new dorm I love everything about it said Kelsey Clark a soph-omore Biomedical Sciences major Everything is so much nicer and cleaner and just more friendly looking
The inside of Greiner Hall is in pristine condition with smoothly running elevators window-walled lounges and expansive hallways peppered with sleek benches The rooms themselves can be com-pared to a hotel with high ceilings white walls and plenty of win-dows to brighten up the dorm
Greiners rooms are much bigger than [my dorm] was for me last year said Tom Sisti a sophomore Pre-Pharmacy major We can eas-ily fit twice as many people in our room as we could last year Its
also different having a big walk-in closet and your own bathroom
Greiner is the only dorm on cam-pus with air conditioning some-thing that students are definitely appreciating this time of year Res-idents can control the temperature of their own rooms creating the perfect atmosphere for studying relaxing or even some partying
The hall also introduced new mod-ern furniture for the residents to place around their rooms as they wish The flexible-use furnishings give the rooms a nice touch and add to the atmosphere that the building creates The hall has also stepped up the security with resi-dents having to swipe in each time they use the elevators as well as to get in to the dorms
But the lucky few who made it into the dorm arent complaining Ev-erything is so much better than last year Clark said Theres an automatic light in each room huge lounges on every floor and an amazing kitchen
While living in Greiner Hall defi-nitely has its perks residents have noticed some drawbacks as well
Parking kind of stinks Sisti said Its not easy to find a spot and if you do its probably pretty far away from the building
Since Greiner is a new building there have been a few things that needed to be worked out like a water leak that caused the resi-dents to lose their water on the second day of living in the dorm
All in all UB has done a great job with Greiner Hall The views are great the hallways sparkle and the living is pretty easy

merdquo Morgan said ldquoIrsquom not going to lie the attention is a little weird and itrsquos different from what Irsquom used to but I definitely want to bring attention to womenrsquos soccer in the states Irsquom going to help out womenrsquos soccer as much as I can I want to keep turning heads for womenrsquos sports in the US and in the worldrdquo
Flash head coach Aaran Lines isnrsquot focused on Morganrsquos ce-lebrity status Shersquos just another player in Linesrsquo eyes
ldquoI donrsquot pay that much attention to the mediardquo Lines said ldquoTo me I see our No 1 draft pick I watch what shersquos doing on the field at practice every day I donrsquot look at what the media is saying about herrdquo
Morgan believes the after-effect of the 1999 World Cup changed womenrsquos soccer forever Morgan knows that the popularity of womenrsquos soccer will die down again because the World Cup only takes place once every four years but she hopes that people will continue to pay attention Her professional team practically forced fans to continue tak-ing notice as the Flash tore apart the WPSL when Marta and Morgan returned from the World Cup The Flash went the final 11 games of the season without suffering a defeat
Poetically WNY began that streak following a 2-1 loss to Philadelphia The WPSL championship game mirrored Team USArsquos loss to Japan both WNY and the US blew late leads and both games headed to penalty kicks This time however Morgan wouldnrsquot settle for second place The Flash finished the season 14-2-3 as regular season champi-ons and WPS champions
Though WNY claimed a championship Morganrsquos loss in the World Cup finale remains fresh in her memory
[I want to use the following as a pull quote I think it would catch the readersrsquo attention So in quotes would be ldquoI went from scoring the first goalhellipbecause we didnrsquot see it first-handrdquo]
ldquoThe whole game was very emotionalrdquo Morgan said ldquoI went from scoring the first goal which was probably the best feeling Irsquoll ever have ndash I just wanted to cry on the field ndash to the penalty shootout which was up and down and very emotionally draining
ldquoWe were disappointed at the moment we were heartbro-ken We didnrsquot really feel the impact that we had on the US until we got home because we didnrsquot see it firsthand Coming back to the US and seeing the fans in the airport and in the hotel made us feel proud for the first time since we got the silver medalrdquo
Assistant coach Scott Vallow said the US players related to Americans via their fight drive bravery and never-say-die attitude and thatrsquos why they were able to captivate so many people
Lines said the US run was enormous for the game In his mind now people are well aware of whatrsquos going on so itrsquos been a miraculous spectacle for the Womenrsquos Professional Soccer League
It appeared that everybody in the US ndash including the me-dia ndash developed a soft spot for their womenrsquos national team in the tournament Various media outlets have been widely criticized for sympathizing with the US squad following the teamrsquos defeat in the final America went in with the No 1 ranking in the world but finished second in the tourna-ment Morgan has her own take on the topic
ldquoEveryonersquos always going to have their opinions and therersquos always going to be a devilrsquos advocate so thatrsquos finerdquo Mor-gan said ldquoPeople are entitled to their opinions Irsquove heard multiple things from we played the best game ndash I do think we played very well ndash to we chokedrdquo
It was difficult for Morgan to listen to the negative feed-back but she realizes that it comes with the territory and thinks thatrsquos just the way it goes in soccer sometimes
ldquoIn the US itrsquos usually first or nothing but therersquos been such an outpouring of overwhelming support and wersquore really thankful for thatrdquo Morgan said
Morgan urged fans to come out to a game in the future She said she hopes people realize that the WNY squad boasts players from six different countries that came together to play in Buffalorsquos backyard
Athletic trainer Gerard ldquoMickyrdquo Gingras noticed a drastic spike in attendance from young Flash fans Local teams frequently come out to Sahlenrsquos to watch the Flash practice and Gingras said the professional players love it as much as the kids
The Flash have a connection with UB too Center back Kim-berly Brandatildeo is Portugalrsquos captain and an assistant coach for UBrsquos womenrsquos soccer team
Brandatildeo said all her different professional and national experiences have assisted her coaching career at UB She knows what itrsquos like for the players and shersquos aware of the amount of dedication it takes to play at the highest level
ldquoThe World Cup was a great showcase of what womenrsquos soccer is going to be like and how good it can really getrdquo Brandatildeo said ldquoWersquore just trying to do our part to make it as big as possiblerdquo
Just how big can womenrsquos soccer get That remains to be seen But one thing is certain Morgan is doing her part
ldquoWersquove got peoplersquos attentionrdquo Morgan said ldquoNow we just need to keep itrdquo

Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album Irsquom With You
Release Date Aug 29
Label Warner Bros
Grade A-
After the bandrsquos two-year hiatus Anthony Kiedis and crew are ready to stir up the alt-rock pot and bring the incredible sounds of Josh Klinghofferrsquos stunning guitar work and iconic bass-funk that will surely please audiences the world over
Although John Frusciante stepped out in the last days of the Stadium Arcadium tour Klinghoffer has filled the gaping void and brought along with him a sound entirely unlike any RHCP CD before
The opening track on Irsquom With You ldquoMonarchy of Rosesrdquo preps fans for the uniquely different sounds of the album Heavy distortion cements a marked difference between classic RHCP and the rest of this multifaceted compilation
Catchy and lyrically entrancing ldquoFactory of Faithrdquo delivers quality bass riffs along with Kiedisrsquo killer vocals to create an intriguing mix of old and new RHCP reminiscent of Stadium Arcadium
ldquoBrendanrsquos Death Songrdquo a heartfelt acoustic bal-lad covers the death of long-time friend and initial supporter Brendan Mullen Incorporating a harder rock tonality in its closing minutes the track bleeds directly from a hurting Anthony Kiedis and its emo-tional impact is deeply felt
The albumrsquos midsection does well to remember the bandrsquos peak of Californication as both ldquoEthiopiardquo and ldquoLook Aroundrdquo bring the same heavy bass and vocal tracks the band was known for syncing up in perfect form
Klinghoffer long-time friend of Frusciante enters the fray without missing a beat even progressing the bandrsquos sound by adding keyboard and vocals to many of the albumrsquos more appealing songs
The albumrsquos first single ldquoThe Adventures of Rain Dance Maggierdquo prominently features overtly sexual-ized lyrics and probably the best use of cowbell since Blue Oyster Cultrsquos stint with the reaper
Other highlights include ldquoDid I Let You Knowrdquo ldquoEven You Brutusrdquo and the mellow groove ldquoMeet Me at the Cornerrdquo each of which contribute their own diverse sounds to an already alien production
Fans expecting to come into a classic culmination of Kiedis Flea and Frusciante magic will be taken by surprise by the twists and turns of RHCPrsquos latest me-lodic concoction

Superman Beyond Zero Issue
Between the constant retelling of his birth world-renowned deaths every few hundred issues and some serious time spent in his twilight years Supermanrsquos aging is as shod-dy as Lex Luthorrsquos latest plot
Mortality of a super-hero is an issue covered by writers far and wide and while ex-Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco does nothing to further the medium his take on the aged Man of Steel has a few peak-ing moments of greatness
Picking up a year after Supes left Earth on a journey of self-discov-ery the world he once defended is an altered beast reeking of crime filth and abundant gang warfare With the once-greatest defender of the planet on a year long vacation using ldquoall-out-warfarerdquo to describe the place is an understatement
DeFalco writes a slightly better than average tale and for every few rays of hope he casts an inescap-able shadow of dull-witted banter to accompany the rather serious undertones Backed by artist Sal Buscema the comic is intelligently drawn and inked but by no means noteworthy on its own
To catch a brief glimpse of a time where Terry McGinnis dons the cape and cowl of Batman and Supes needs to be home before Matlock ldquoSuperman Beyondrdquo is well worth its $399 price tag
A Week in Ink Issue No 26
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates No 1
In an industry rife with reboots Jonathan Hickmanrsquos early entry into a post-Spidey world is compet-ing with some of the heavyweights in its division and when all the pages are down ldquoThe Ultimates No 1rdquo is holding its own
Told through the eyes of the heavy-handed General Fury the plot re-sembles everything seen before in the Marvel Universe During global calamity the call goes out for Earthrsquos mightiest only for them to meet a foe unlike anything theyrsquove fought before
Although the flow of the issue is not trend setting in its own right Esad Ribicrsquos artwork is From a redesigned Captain Britain to the outlandish Asgardians getting ham-mered in a bar each panel goes above and beyond the call of duty
Strangely absent from the fray is Cap himself Though pictured on the cover Americarsquos Super Soldier is MIA a real letdown for any of those coming off the hype of this summerrsquos blockbuster hit
Besides a few relatively tiny snafus the issue as a whole is a sincerely solid attempt to reconstruct the for-mer champion Hickman lays the groundwork for an incredible com-ic series but this stand-alone pres-ents only a slice of the literary pie
Gears of War Issue No 19
Even in ink and panel form the crew of Delta Squad can never catch a break Following Marcus Fe-nix and his troops near the recently demolished Jacinto the melanchol-ic series moves forward by sketch-ing out the final moments of Gears of War 2
While the canon is represented in partial accuracy the true issues with this ink and panel transfor-mation is that nothing can replace EPICrsquos gun-toting brotastic shooter mdash even itself To the teamrsquos credit the panels are composed from grit-ty sanguine palettes and mostly represent the heart and soul of the beloved franchise
Unfortunately between the dia-logue and lack of substance it seems as though the Gears team could use a little more time in basic training While Cole spouts iconic phrases the team banter stays to a mini-mum a harsh contrast from the consistent team morale the EPIC writers work so hard to perpetuate
Even with Gears of War 3 head writer Karen Traviss pumping out issues the fantastic feats of Delta Squad are probably best left on screen While it offers some serious fan service for those waiting in the wings for the trilogyrsquos triumphant conclusion tepid fans will find no solace here

An Uplifting Party Plan
NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Label EMI Capitol
Release Date Sept 29 1987
Grade B+
One band encapsulated the entire culmination of LArsquos funky alterna-tive stylings and ingrained itself forever in the alt-rock pantheon This band was Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before John Frusciantersquos melodic composing and Hillel Slovakrsquos death threatened to break up the funk RHCP was one of the most original bands to ever hit SoCal Now years later The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a testament to a time in music history long past
The albumrsquos flagship track ldquoFight Like a Braverdquo sets the musical scene for the entire CD This song would go on to be a rock anthem for all who suffer from addiction mdash even though lead singer Anthony Kiedis would relapse only a few years later Its infectious bass riff and stellar chorus secure it as one of the best songs the band has ever produced
As the album progresses RHCP break out their signature funkadelic-rock sounds only rivaled by the likes of George Clinton and his eclec-tic collective Parliament Funkadelic Of note ldquoMe and My Friendsrdquo has the instrumentals and triumphant force that the band has worked feverishly to revisit ever since
Flearsquos legendary slap bass stylings reverberate through the next few tracks thrusting forceful funk into the listenerrsquos mind and solidifying the iconic revelry of a band on the edge of society
Like any well-remembered CD the musical landscape is drastically al-tered just when the listener settles into the bandrsquos comfort zone This hallowed feature comes in the form of ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo The combi-nation of Hillel Slovakrsquos stunning sitar and Flearsquos funk riff expertly blend together to produce a sound unlike anything the Chili Peppers have ever tried
The band derives much of its current style from this time period mak-ing The Uplift Mofo Party Plan the launching point for their recent work

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

WEDNESDAY AUgUSt 31 2011 v THE SPECTRUM 17CLASSIFIEDS
ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

merdquo Morgan said ldquoIrsquom not going to lie the attention is a little weird and itrsquos different from what Irsquom used to but I definitely want to bring attention to womenrsquos soccer in the states Irsquom going to help out womenrsquos soccer as much as I can I want to keep turning heads for womenrsquos sports in the US and in the worldrdquo
Flash head coach Aaran Lines isnrsquot focused on Morganrsquos ce-lebrity status Shersquos just another player in Linesrsquo eyes
ldquoI donrsquot pay that much attention to the mediardquo Lines said ldquoTo me I see our No 1 draft pick I watch what shersquos doing on the field at practice every day I donrsquot look at what the media is saying about herrdquo
Morgan believes the after-effect of the 1999 World Cup changed womenrsquos soccer forever Morgan knows that the popularity of womenrsquos soccer will die down again because the World Cup only takes place once every four years but she hopes that people will continue to pay attention Her professional team practically forced fans to continue tak-ing notice as the Flash tore apart the WPSL when Marta and Morgan returned from the World Cup The Flash went the final 11 games of the season without suffering a defeat
Poetically WNY began that streak following a 2-1 loss to Philadelphia The WPSL championship game mirrored Team USArsquos loss to Japan both WNY and the US blew late leads and both games headed to penalty kicks This time however Morgan wouldnrsquot settle for second place The Flash finished the season 14-2-3 as regular season champi-ons and WPS champions
Though WNY claimed a championship Morganrsquos loss in the World Cup finale remains fresh in her memory
[I want to use the following as a pull quote I think it would catch the readersrsquo attention So in quotes would be ldquoI went from scoring the first goalhellipbecause we didnrsquot see it first-handrdquo]
ldquoThe whole game was very emotionalrdquo Morgan said ldquoI went from scoring the first goal which was probably the best feeling Irsquoll ever have ndash I just wanted to cry on the field ndash to the penalty shootout which was up and down and very emotionally draining
ldquoWe were disappointed at the moment we were heartbro-ken We didnrsquot really feel the impact that we had on the US until we got home because we didnrsquot see it firsthand Coming back to the US and seeing the fans in the airport and in the hotel made us feel proud for the first time since we got the silver medalrdquo
Assistant coach Scott Vallow said the US players related to Americans via their fight drive bravery and never-say-die attitude and thatrsquos why they were able to captivate so many people
Lines said the US run was enormous for the game In his mind now people are well aware of whatrsquos going on so itrsquos been a miraculous spectacle for the Womenrsquos Professional Soccer League
It appeared that everybody in the US ndash including the me-dia ndash developed a soft spot for their womenrsquos national team in the tournament Various media outlets have been widely criticized for sympathizing with the US squad following the teamrsquos defeat in the final America went in with the No 1 ranking in the world but finished second in the tourna-ment Morgan has her own take on the topic
ldquoEveryonersquos always going to have their opinions and therersquos always going to be a devilrsquos advocate so thatrsquos finerdquo Mor-gan said ldquoPeople are entitled to their opinions Irsquove heard multiple things from we played the best game ndash I do think we played very well ndash to we chokedrdquo
It was difficult for Morgan to listen to the negative feed-back but she realizes that it comes with the territory and thinks thatrsquos just the way it goes in soccer sometimes
ldquoIn the US itrsquos usually first or nothing but therersquos been such an outpouring of overwhelming support and wersquore really thankful for thatrdquo Morgan said
Morgan urged fans to come out to a game in the future She said she hopes people realize that the WNY squad boasts players from six different countries that came together to play in Buffalorsquos backyard
Athletic trainer Gerard ldquoMickyrdquo Gingras noticed a drastic spike in attendance from young Flash fans Local teams frequently come out to Sahlenrsquos to watch the Flash practice and Gingras said the professional players love it as much as the kids
The Flash have a connection with UB too Center back Kim-berly Brandatildeo is Portugalrsquos captain and an assistant coach for UBrsquos womenrsquos soccer team
Brandatildeo said all her different professional and national experiences have assisted her coaching career at UB She knows what itrsquos like for the players and shersquos aware of the amount of dedication it takes to play at the highest level
ldquoThe World Cup was a great showcase of what womenrsquos soccer is going to be like and how good it can really getrdquo Brandatildeo said ldquoWersquore just trying to do our part to make it as big as possiblerdquo
Just how big can womenrsquos soccer get That remains to be seen But one thing is certain Morgan is doing her part
ldquoWersquove got peoplersquos attentionrdquo Morgan said ldquoNow we just need to keep itrdquo

Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album Irsquom With You
Release Date Aug 29
Label Warner Bros
Grade A-
After the bandrsquos two-year hiatus Anthony Kiedis and crew are ready to stir up the alt-rock pot and bring the incredible sounds of Josh Klinghofferrsquos stunning guitar work and iconic bass-funk that will surely please audiences the world over
Although John Frusciante stepped out in the last days of the Stadium Arcadium tour Klinghoffer has filled the gaping void and brought along with him a sound entirely unlike any RHCP CD before
The opening track on Irsquom With You ldquoMonarchy of Rosesrdquo preps fans for the uniquely different sounds of the album Heavy distortion cements a marked difference between classic RHCP and the rest of this multifaceted compilation
Catchy and lyrically entrancing ldquoFactory of Faithrdquo delivers quality bass riffs along with Kiedisrsquo killer vocals to create an intriguing mix of old and new RHCP reminiscent of Stadium Arcadium
ldquoBrendanrsquos Death Songrdquo a heartfelt acoustic bal-lad covers the death of long-time friend and initial supporter Brendan Mullen Incorporating a harder rock tonality in its closing minutes the track bleeds directly from a hurting Anthony Kiedis and its emo-tional impact is deeply felt
The albumrsquos midsection does well to remember the bandrsquos peak of Californication as both ldquoEthiopiardquo and ldquoLook Aroundrdquo bring the same heavy bass and vocal tracks the band was known for syncing up in perfect form
Klinghoffer long-time friend of Frusciante enters the fray without missing a beat even progressing the bandrsquos sound by adding keyboard and vocals to many of the albumrsquos more appealing songs
The albumrsquos first single ldquoThe Adventures of Rain Dance Maggierdquo prominently features overtly sexual-ized lyrics and probably the best use of cowbell since Blue Oyster Cultrsquos stint with the reaper
Other highlights include ldquoDid I Let You Knowrdquo ldquoEven You Brutusrdquo and the mellow groove ldquoMeet Me at the Cornerrdquo each of which contribute their own diverse sounds to an already alien production
Fans expecting to come into a classic culmination of Kiedis Flea and Frusciante magic will be taken by surprise by the twists and turns of RHCPrsquos latest me-lodic concoction

Irsquom With Them NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
JAMESON BUTLER Senior Arts Editor
This summer lacked the big name album releases that generally populate your va-cation but that doesnrsquot mean that there werenrsquot albums that blew people away From indie to hip-hop numerous albums deserved the attention but lacked the pub-licity to get on the radio Here are the top 10 albums of the summer
Artist Frank Turner
Album England Keep My Bones
Release Date June 7
Label Epitaph
Acoustic guitar history and sentimental lyrics mdash these things are all prevalent on Frank Turnerrsquos fourth studio album Eng-land Keep My Bones From the haunting opening track ldquoEulogyrdquo to the agnostic closer ldquoGlory Hallelujahrdquo Turner contin-ues to add to an already stellar discogra-phy
Check out ldquoPeggy Sang the Bluesrdquo ldquoI Am Disappearedrdquo
Artist The Wonder Years
Album Suburbia Irsquove Given You All And Now Irsquom Noth-ing
Release Date June 14
Label Hopeless
Pop-punk has changed drastically since its heyday but apparently nobody told that to The Wonder Years Suburbia unleashes the angst of growing up in the suburbs and the confusing challenges of leaving it behind What separates Suburbia from countless other teen angst albums is the imagery created by vocalist Dan Camp-bell which cuts the listener straight to the bone
Check out ldquoLocal Man Ruins Everythingrdquo ldquoHoodie Weatherrdquo
Artist Taking Back Sunday
Album Taking Back Sunday
Release Date June 28
Label Warner Bros
For the first time since their groundbreak-ing debut Tell All Your Friends the origi-nal members of Taking Back Sunday have reconciled and returned to the studio The album has a clear Straylight Run (John Nolan and Shaun Cooperrsquos side project in between their tenures) influence which gives Taking Back Sunday some much-needed depth to what was a dwindling ca-reer
Check out ldquoMoney (Let it Go)rdquo ldquoYou Got Merdquo
Artist F Up
Album David Comes to Life
Release Date June 7
Label Matador
These Canadian hardcore punkers bring to life a story of heartache and despair The vivid lyrics depict the story of David who attempts to find love mdash only to lose it again mdash and the pain and guilt that en-sues The heavy instrumentals only add to the emotion of main singer Pink Eyesrsquo gut-wrenching vocals
Check out ldquoQueen of Heartsrdquo ldquoA Slanted Tonerdquo
Artist Hoodie Allen
Album Leap Year
Release Date July 26
Label None
Coming straight outta the lsquoburbs Hoodie Allen combines infectious beats with witty lyrics and creates one of the best hip-hop albums of the year and all without a label Leap Year has 13 tracks and each is just as catchy as the last The best part The album can be downloaded for free on his website
Check out ldquoJames Francordquo ldquoSong for an Actressrdquo
Artist Jay-Z and Kanye West
Album Watch The Throne
Release Date Aug 8
Label Roc-a-Fella
This album got so much hype before it came out that measuring up to it all seemed impossible but when two of the best rappers over the past decade collabo-rate itrsquos hard to screw up Kanye provides some spectacular beats and Jay-Z brings his impeccable flow to create an album that stands out from the rest
Check out ldquoN in Parisrdquo ldquoOtisrdquo
Artist Direct Hit
Album Domesplit-ter
Release Date Aug 2
Label Kind of Like Records
Direct Hit may just be an up-and-coming band but they rock like theyrsquove been around for years Trimming down theyrsquore free EP to just 10 high-energy in-your-face pop-punk anthems DH produces an album that parties as hard as it rocks Domesplitter showcases the bandrsquos love for their music and for their fans the only
problem is its short 26-minute run time
Check out ldquoMonster in the Closetrdquo ldquoLiving Deadrdquo
Artist Tyler the Cre-ator
Album Goblin
Release Date May 10
Label XL
By now there are few people that havenrsquot heard of Tyler the Creator or his over-the-top hip-hop collective Odd Future Tyler continues to make music that will make your skin crawl but his talent is undeni-able Goblin has the best production value of any Odd Future album and Tylerrsquos tal-ent only continues to grow
Check out ldquoTransylvaniardquo ldquoAnalogrdquo
Artist Bomb the Mu-sic Industry
Album Vacation
Release Date July 26
Label Quote Unquote Records
Bomb the Music Industry has returned with their sixth studio album which might just be their best ever Vacation sees BMI mature in front of the listener with the al-bum going against the bandrsquos previously juvenile grain Jeff Rosenstock comes into his own as a songwriter as he writes about the struggles of trying to build a home
Check out ldquoCanrsquot Complainrdquo ldquoVocal Coachrdquo
Artist Bon Iver
Album Bon Iver
Release Date June 21
Label Jagjaguwar
After a three-year gap Bon Iver has returned with another mesmerizing album Their self-titled soph-omore effort haunts the listener with its layered instrumentals and soul-searching lyrics It may have not been the giant step forward that many Bon Iver fans yearned for but Justin Vernon still manufactured one of the most beautiful albums of the summer

Superman Beyond Zero Issue
Between the constant retelling of his birth world-renowned deaths every few hundred issues and some serious time spent in his twilight years Supermanrsquos aging is as shod-dy as Lex Luthorrsquos latest plot
Mortality of a super-hero is an issue covered by writers far and wide and while ex-Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco does nothing to further the medium his take on the aged Man of Steel has a few peak-ing moments of greatness
Picking up a year after Supes left Earth on a journey of self-discov-ery the world he once defended is an altered beast reeking of crime filth and abundant gang warfare With the once-greatest defender of the planet on a year long vacation using ldquoall-out-warfarerdquo to describe the place is an understatement
DeFalco writes a slightly better than average tale and for every few rays of hope he casts an inescap-able shadow of dull-witted banter to accompany the rather serious undertones Backed by artist Sal Buscema the comic is intelligently drawn and inked but by no means noteworthy on its own
To catch a brief glimpse of a time where Terry McGinnis dons the cape and cowl of Batman and Supes needs to be home before Matlock ldquoSuperman Beyondrdquo is well worth its $399 price tag
A Week in Ink Issue No 26
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates No 1
In an industry rife with reboots Jonathan Hickmanrsquos early entry into a post-Spidey world is compet-ing with some of the heavyweights in its division and when all the pages are down ldquoThe Ultimates No 1rdquo is holding its own
Told through the eyes of the heavy-handed General Fury the plot re-sembles everything seen before in the Marvel Universe During global calamity the call goes out for Earthrsquos mightiest only for them to meet a foe unlike anything theyrsquove fought before
Although the flow of the issue is not trend setting in its own right Esad Ribicrsquos artwork is From a redesigned Captain Britain to the outlandish Asgardians getting ham-mered in a bar each panel goes above and beyond the call of duty
Strangely absent from the fray is Cap himself Though pictured on the cover Americarsquos Super Soldier is MIA a real letdown for any of those coming off the hype of this summerrsquos blockbuster hit
Besides a few relatively tiny snafus the issue as a whole is a sincerely solid attempt to reconstruct the for-mer champion Hickman lays the groundwork for an incredible com-ic series but this stand-alone pres-ents only a slice of the literary pie
Gears of War Issue No 19
Even in ink and panel form the crew of Delta Squad can never catch a break Following Marcus Fe-nix and his troops near the recently demolished Jacinto the melanchol-ic series moves forward by sketch-ing out the final moments of Gears of War 2
While the canon is represented in partial accuracy the true issues with this ink and panel transfor-mation is that nothing can replace EPICrsquos gun-toting brotastic shooter mdash even itself To the teamrsquos credit the panels are composed from grit-ty sanguine palettes and mostly represent the heart and soul of the beloved franchise
Unfortunately between the dia-logue and lack of substance it seems as though the Gears team could use a little more time in basic training While Cole spouts iconic phrases the team banter stays to a mini-mum a harsh contrast from the consistent team morale the EPIC writers work so hard to perpetuate
Even with Gears of War 3 head writer Karen Traviss pumping out issues the fantastic feats of Delta Squad are probably best left on screen While it offers some serious fan service for those waiting in the wings for the trilogyrsquos triumphant conclusion tepid fans will find no solace here

An Uplifting Party Plan
NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Label EMI Capitol
Release Date Sept 29 1987
Grade B+
One band encapsulated the entire culmination of LArsquos funky alterna-tive stylings and ingrained itself forever in the alt-rock pantheon This band was Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before John Frusciantersquos melodic composing and Hillel Slovakrsquos death threatened to break up the funk RHCP was one of the most original bands to ever hit SoCal Now years later The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a testament to a time in music history long past
The albumrsquos flagship track ldquoFight Like a Braverdquo sets the musical scene for the entire CD This song would go on to be a rock anthem for all who suffer from addiction mdash even though lead singer Anthony Kiedis would relapse only a few years later Its infectious bass riff and stellar chorus secure it as one of the best songs the band has ever produced
As the album progresses RHCP break out their signature funkadelic-rock sounds only rivaled by the likes of George Clinton and his eclec-tic collective Parliament Funkadelic Of note ldquoMe and My Friendsrdquo has the instrumentals and triumphant force that the band has worked feverishly to revisit ever since
Flearsquos legendary slap bass stylings reverberate through the next few tracks thrusting forceful funk into the listenerrsquos mind and solidifying the iconic revelry of a band on the edge of society
Like any well-remembered CD the musical landscape is drastically al-tered just when the listener settles into the bandrsquos comfort zone This hallowed feature comes in the form of ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo The combi-nation of Hillel Slovakrsquos stunning sitar and Flearsquos funk riff expertly blend together to produce a sound unlike anything the Chili Peppers have ever tried
The band derives much of its current style from this time period mak-ing The Uplift Mofo Party Plan the launching point for their recent work

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

merdquo Morgan said ldquoIrsquom not going to lie the attention is a little weird and itrsquos different from what Irsquom used to but I definitely want to bring attention to womenrsquos soccer in the states Irsquom going to help out womenrsquos soccer as much as I can I want to keep turning heads for womenrsquos sports in the US and in the worldrdquo
Flash head coach Aaran Lines isnrsquot focused on Morganrsquos ce-lebrity status Shersquos just another player in Linesrsquo eyes
ldquoI donrsquot pay that much attention to the mediardquo Lines said ldquoTo me I see our No 1 draft pick I watch what shersquos doing on the field at practice every day I donrsquot look at what the media is saying about herrdquo
Morgan believes the after-effect of the 1999 World Cup changed womenrsquos soccer forever Morgan knows that the popularity of womenrsquos soccer will die down again because the World Cup only takes place once every four years but she hopes that people will continue to pay attention Her professional team practically forced fans to continue tak-ing notice as the Flash tore apart the WPSL when Marta and Morgan returned from the World Cup The Flash went the final 11 games of the season without suffering a defeat
Poetically WNY began that streak following a 2-1 loss to Philadelphia The WPSL championship game mirrored Team USArsquos loss to Japan both WNY and the US blew late leads and both games headed to penalty kicks This time however Morgan wouldnrsquot settle for second place The Flash finished the season 14-2-3 as regular season champi-ons and WPS champions
Though WNY claimed a championship Morganrsquos loss in the World Cup finale remains fresh in her memory
[I want to use the following as a pull quote I think it would catch the readersrsquo attention So in quotes would be ldquoI went from scoring the first goalhellipbecause we didnrsquot see it first-handrdquo]
ldquoThe whole game was very emotionalrdquo Morgan said ldquoI went from scoring the first goal which was probably the best feeling Irsquoll ever have ndash I just wanted to cry on the field ndash to the penalty shootout which was up and down and very emotionally draining
ldquoWe were disappointed at the moment we were heartbro-ken We didnrsquot really feel the impact that we had on the US until we got home because we didnrsquot see it firsthand Coming back to the US and seeing the fans in the airport and in the hotel made us feel proud for the first time since we got the silver medalrdquo
Assistant coach Scott Vallow said the US players related to Americans via their fight drive bravery and never-say-die attitude and thatrsquos why they were able to captivate so many people
Lines said the US run was enormous for the game In his mind now people are well aware of whatrsquos going on so itrsquos been a miraculous spectacle for the Womenrsquos Professional Soccer League
It appeared that everybody in the US ndash including the me-dia ndash developed a soft spot for their womenrsquos national team in the tournament Various media outlets have been widely criticized for sympathizing with the US squad following the teamrsquos defeat in the final America went in with the No 1 ranking in the world but finished second in the tourna-ment Morgan has her own take on the topic
ldquoEveryonersquos always going to have their opinions and therersquos always going to be a devilrsquos advocate so thatrsquos finerdquo Mor-gan said ldquoPeople are entitled to their opinions Irsquove heard multiple things from we played the best game ndash I do think we played very well ndash to we chokedrdquo
It was difficult for Morgan to listen to the negative feed-back but she realizes that it comes with the territory and thinks thatrsquos just the way it goes in soccer sometimes
ldquoIn the US itrsquos usually first or nothing but therersquos been such an outpouring of overwhelming support and wersquore really thankful for thatrdquo Morgan said
Morgan urged fans to come out to a game in the future She said she hopes people realize that the WNY squad boasts players from six different countries that came together to play in Buffalorsquos backyard
Athletic trainer Gerard ldquoMickyrdquo Gingras noticed a drastic spike in attendance from young Flash fans Local teams frequently come out to Sahlenrsquos to watch the Flash practice and Gingras said the professional players love it as much as the kids
The Flash have a connection with UB too Center back Kim-berly Brandatildeo is Portugalrsquos captain and an assistant coach for UBrsquos womenrsquos soccer team
Brandatildeo said all her different professional and national experiences have assisted her coaching career at UB She knows what itrsquos like for the players and shersquos aware of the amount of dedication it takes to play at the highest level
ldquoThe World Cup was a great showcase of what womenrsquos soccer is going to be like and how good it can really getrdquo Brandatildeo said ldquoWersquore just trying to do our part to make it as big as possiblerdquo
Just how big can womenrsquos soccer get That remains to be seen But one thing is certain Morgan is doing her part
ldquoWersquove got peoplersquos attentionrdquo Morgan said ldquoNow we just need to keep itrdquo

The opening track on Irsquom With You ldquoMonarchy of Rosesrdquo preps fans for the uniquely different sounds of the album Heavy distortion cements a marked difference between classic RHCP and the rest of this multifaceted compilation
Catchy and lyrically entrancing ldquoFactory of Faithrdquo delivers quality bass riffs along with Kiedisrsquo killer vocals to create an intriguing mix of old and new RHCP reminiscent of Stadium Arcadium
ldquoBrendanrsquos Death Songrdquo a heartfelt acoustic bal-lad covers the death of long-time friend and initial supporter Brendan Mullen Incorporating a harder rock tonality in its closing minutes the track bleeds directly from a hurting Anthony Kiedis and its emo-tional impact is deeply felt
The albumrsquos midsection does well to remember the bandrsquos peak of Californication as both ldquoEthiopiardquo and ldquoLook Aroundrdquo bring the same heavy bass and vocal tracks the band was known for syncing up in perfect form
Klinghoffer long-time friend of Frusciante enters the fray without missing a beat even progressing the bandrsquos sound by adding keyboard and vocals to many of the albumrsquos more appealing songs
The albumrsquos first single ldquoThe Adventures of Rain Dance Maggierdquo prominently features overtly sexual-ized lyrics and probably the best use of cowbell since Blue Oyster Cultrsquos stint with the reaper
Other highlights include ldquoDid I Let You Knowrdquo ldquoEven You Brutusrdquo and the mellow groove ldquoMeet Me at the Cornerrdquo each of which contribute their own diverse sounds to an already alien production
Fans expecting to come into a classic culmination of Kiedis Flea and Frusciante magic will be taken by surprise by the twists and turns of RHCPrsquos latest me-lodic concoction

Irsquom With Them NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
JAMESON BUTLER Senior Arts Editor
This summer lacked the big name album releases that generally populate your va-cation but that doesnrsquot mean that there werenrsquot albums that blew people away From indie to hip-hop numerous albums deserved the attention but lacked the pub-licity to get on the radio Here are the top 10 albums of the summer
Artist Frank Turner
Album England Keep My Bones
Release Date June 7
Label Epitaph
Acoustic guitar history and sentimental lyrics mdash these things are all prevalent on Frank Turnerrsquos fourth studio album Eng-land Keep My Bones From the haunting opening track ldquoEulogyrdquo to the agnostic closer ldquoGlory Hallelujahrdquo Turner contin-ues to add to an already stellar discogra-phy
Check out ldquoPeggy Sang the Bluesrdquo ldquoI Am Disappearedrdquo
Artist The Wonder Years
Album Suburbia Irsquove Given You All And Now Irsquom Noth-ing
Release Date June 14
Label Hopeless
Pop-punk has changed drastically since its heyday but apparently nobody told that to The Wonder Years Suburbia unleashes the angst of growing up in the suburbs and the confusing challenges of leaving it behind What separates Suburbia from countless other teen angst albums is the imagery created by vocalist Dan Camp-bell which cuts the listener straight to the bone
Check out ldquoLocal Man Ruins Everythingrdquo ldquoHoodie Weatherrdquo
Artist Taking Back Sunday
Album Taking Back Sunday
Release Date June 28
Label Warner Bros
For the first time since their groundbreak-ing debut Tell All Your Friends the origi-nal members of Taking Back Sunday have reconciled and returned to the studio The album has a clear Straylight Run (John Nolan and Shaun Cooperrsquos side project in between their tenures) influence which gives Taking Back Sunday some much-needed depth to what was a dwindling ca-reer
Check out ldquoMoney (Let it Go)rdquo ldquoYou Got Merdquo
Artist F Up
Album David Comes to Life
Release Date June 7
Label Matador
These Canadian hardcore punkers bring to life a story of heartache and despair The vivid lyrics depict the story of David who attempts to find love mdash only to lose it again mdash and the pain and guilt that en-sues The heavy instrumentals only add to the emotion of main singer Pink Eyesrsquo gut-wrenching vocals
Check out ldquoQueen of Heartsrdquo ldquoA Slanted Tonerdquo
Artist Hoodie Allen
Album Leap Year
Release Date July 26
Label None
Coming straight outta the lsquoburbs Hoodie Allen combines infectious beats with witty lyrics and creates one of the best hip-hop albums of the year and all without a label Leap Year has 13 tracks and each is just as catchy as the last The best part The album can be downloaded for free on his website
Check out ldquoJames Francordquo ldquoSong for an Actressrdquo
Artist Jay-Z and Kanye West
Album Watch The Throne
Release Date Aug 8
Label Roc-a-Fella
This album got so much hype before it came out that measuring up to it all seemed impossible but when two of the best rappers over the past decade collabo-rate itrsquos hard to screw up Kanye provides some spectacular beats and Jay-Z brings his impeccable flow to create an album that stands out from the rest
Check out ldquoN in Parisrdquo ldquoOtisrdquo
Artist Direct Hit
Album Domesplit-ter
Release Date Aug 2
Label Kind of Like Records
Direct Hit may just be an up-and-coming band but they rock like theyrsquove been around for years Trimming down theyrsquore free EP to just 10 high-energy in-your-face pop-punk anthems DH produces an album that parties as hard as it rocks Domesplitter showcases the bandrsquos love for their music and for their fans the only
problem is its short 26-minute run time
Check out ldquoMonster in the Closetrdquo ldquoLiving Deadrdquo
Artist Tyler the Cre-ator
Album Goblin
Release Date May 10
Label XL
By now there are few people that havenrsquot heard of Tyler the Creator or his over-the-top hip-hop collective Odd Future Tyler continues to make music that will make your skin crawl but his talent is undeni-able Goblin has the best production value of any Odd Future album and Tylerrsquos tal-ent only continues to grow
Check out ldquoTransylvaniardquo ldquoAnalogrdquo
Artist Bomb the Mu-sic Industry
Album Vacation
Release Date July 26
Label Quote Unquote Records
Bomb the Music Industry has returned with their sixth studio album which might just be their best ever Vacation sees BMI mature in front of the listener with the al-bum going against the bandrsquos previously juvenile grain Jeff Rosenstock comes into his own as a songwriter as he writes about the struggles of trying to build a home
Check out ldquoCanrsquot Complainrdquo ldquoVocal Coachrdquo
Artist Bon Iver
Album Bon Iver
Release Date June 21
Label Jagjaguwar
After a three-year gap Bon Iver has returned with another mesmerizing album Their self-titled soph-omore effort haunts the listener with its layered instrumentals and soul-searching lyrics It may have not been the giant step forward that many Bon Iver fans yearned for but Justin Vernon still manufactured one of the most beautiful albums of the summer

Superman Beyond Zero Issue
Between the constant retelling of his birth world-renowned deaths every few hundred issues and some serious time spent in his twilight years Supermanrsquos aging is as shod-dy as Lex Luthorrsquos latest plot
Mortality of a super-hero is an issue covered by writers far and wide and while ex-Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco does nothing to further the medium his take on the aged Man of Steel has a few peak-ing moments of greatness
Picking up a year after Supes left Earth on a journey of self-discov-ery the world he once defended is an altered beast reeking of crime filth and abundant gang warfare With the once-greatest defender of the planet on a year long vacation using ldquoall-out-warfarerdquo to describe the place is an understatement
DeFalco writes a slightly better than average tale and for every few rays of hope he casts an inescap-able shadow of dull-witted banter to accompany the rather serious undertones Backed by artist Sal Buscema the comic is intelligently drawn and inked but by no means noteworthy on its own
To catch a brief glimpse of a time where Terry McGinnis dons the cape and cowl of Batman and Supes needs to be home before Matlock ldquoSuperman Beyondrdquo is well worth its $399 price tag
A Week in Ink Issue No 26
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates No 1
In an industry rife with reboots Jonathan Hickmanrsquos early entry into a post-Spidey world is compet-ing with some of the heavyweights in its division and when all the pages are down ldquoThe Ultimates No 1rdquo is holding its own
Told through the eyes of the heavy-handed General Fury the plot re-sembles everything seen before in the Marvel Universe During global calamity the call goes out for Earthrsquos mightiest only for them to meet a foe unlike anything theyrsquove fought before
Although the flow of the issue is not trend setting in its own right Esad Ribicrsquos artwork is From a redesigned Captain Britain to the outlandish Asgardians getting ham-mered in a bar each panel goes above and beyond the call of duty
Strangely absent from the fray is Cap himself Though pictured on the cover Americarsquos Super Soldier is MIA a real letdown for any of those coming off the hype of this summerrsquos blockbuster hit
Besides a few relatively tiny snafus the issue as a whole is a sincerely solid attempt to reconstruct the for-mer champion Hickman lays the groundwork for an incredible com-ic series but this stand-alone pres-ents only a slice of the literary pie
Gears of War Issue No 19
Even in ink and panel form the crew of Delta Squad can never catch a break Following Marcus Fe-nix and his troops near the recently demolished Jacinto the melanchol-ic series moves forward by sketch-ing out the final moments of Gears of War 2
While the canon is represented in partial accuracy the true issues with this ink and panel transfor-mation is that nothing can replace EPICrsquos gun-toting brotastic shooter mdash even itself To the teamrsquos credit the panels are composed from grit-ty sanguine palettes and mostly represent the heart and soul of the beloved franchise
Unfortunately between the dia-logue and lack of substance it seems as though the Gears team could use a little more time in basic training While Cole spouts iconic phrases the team banter stays to a mini-mum a harsh contrast from the consistent team morale the EPIC writers work so hard to perpetuate
Even with Gears of War 3 head writer Karen Traviss pumping out issues the fantastic feats of Delta Squad are probably best left on screen While it offers some serious fan service for those waiting in the wings for the trilogyrsquos triumphant conclusion tepid fans will find no solace here

An Uplifting Party Plan
NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Label EMI Capitol
Release Date Sept 29 1987
Grade B+
One band encapsulated the entire culmination of LArsquos funky alterna-tive stylings and ingrained itself forever in the alt-rock pantheon This band was Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before John Frusciantersquos melodic composing and Hillel Slovakrsquos death threatened to break up the funk RHCP was one of the most original bands to ever hit SoCal Now years later The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a testament to a time in music history long past
The albumrsquos flagship track ldquoFight Like a Braverdquo sets the musical scene for the entire CD This song would go on to be a rock anthem for all who suffer from addiction mdash even though lead singer Anthony Kiedis would relapse only a few years later Its infectious bass riff and stellar chorus secure it as one of the best songs the band has ever produced
As the album progresses RHCP break out their signature funkadelic-rock sounds only rivaled by the likes of George Clinton and his eclec-tic collective Parliament Funkadelic Of note ldquoMe and My Friendsrdquo has the instrumentals and triumphant force that the band has worked feverishly to revisit ever since
Flearsquos legendary slap bass stylings reverberate through the next few tracks thrusting forceful funk into the listenerrsquos mind and solidifying the iconic revelry of a band on the edge of society
Like any well-remembered CD the musical landscape is drastically al-tered just when the listener settles into the bandrsquos comfort zone This hallowed feature comes in the form of ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo The combi-nation of Hillel Slovakrsquos stunning sitar and Flearsquos funk riff expertly blend together to produce a sound unlike anything the Chili Peppers have ever tried
The band derives much of its current style from this time period mak-ing The Uplift Mofo Party Plan the launching point for their recent work

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album Irsquom With You
Release Date Aug 29
Label Warner Bros
Grade A-
After the bandrsquos two-year hiatus Anthony Kiedis and crew are ready to stir up the alt-rock pot and bring the incredible sounds of Josh Klinghofferrsquos stunning guitar work and iconic bass-funk that will surely please audiences the world over
Although John Frusciante stepped out in the last days of the Stadium Arcadium tour Klinghoffer has filled the gaping void and brought along with him a sound entirely unlike any RHCP CD before
The opening track on Irsquom With You ldquoMonarchy of Rosesrdquo preps fans for the uniquely different sounds of the album Heavy distortion cements a marked difference between classic RHCP and the rest of this multifaceted compilation
Catchy and lyrically entrancing ldquoFactory of Faithrdquo delivers quality bass riffs along with Kiedisrsquo killer vocals to create an intriguing mix of old and new RHCP reminiscent of Stadium Arcadium
ldquoBrendanrsquos Death Songrdquo a heartfelt acoustic bal-lad covers the death of long-time friend and initial supporter Brendan Mullen Incorporating a harder rock tonality in its closing minutes the track bleeds directly from a hurting Anthony Kiedis and its emo-tional impact is deeply felt
The albumrsquos midsection does well to remember the bandrsquos peak of Californication as both ldquoEthiopiardquo and ldquoLook Aroundrdquo bring the same heavy bass and vocal tracks the band was known for syncing up in perfect form
Klinghoffer long-time friend of Frusciante enters the fray without missing a beat even progressing the bandrsquos sound by adding keyboard and vocals to many of the albumrsquos more appealing songs
The albumrsquos first single ldquoThe Adventures of Rain Dance Maggierdquo prominently features overtly sexual-ized lyrics and probably the best use of cowbell since Blue Oyster Cultrsquos stint with the reaper
Other highlights include ldquoDid I Let You Knowrdquo ldquoEven You Brutusrdquo and the mellow groove ldquoMeet Me at the Cornerrdquo each of which contribute their own diverse sounds to an already alien production
Fans expecting to come into a classic culmination of Kiedis Flea and Frusciante magic will be taken by surprise by the twists and turns of RHCPrsquos latest me-lodic concoction

Superman Beyond Zero Issue
Between the constant retelling of his birth world-renowned deaths every few hundred issues and some serious time spent in his twilight years Supermanrsquos aging is as shod-dy as Lex Luthorrsquos latest plot
Mortality of a super-hero is an issue covered by writers far and wide and while ex-Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco does nothing to further the medium his take on the aged Man of Steel has a few peak-ing moments of greatness
Picking up a year after Supes left Earth on a journey of self-discov-ery the world he once defended is an altered beast reeking of crime filth and abundant gang warfare With the once-greatest defender of the planet on a year long vacation using ldquoall-out-warfarerdquo to describe the place is an understatement
DeFalco writes a slightly better than average tale and for every few rays of hope he casts an inescap-able shadow of dull-witted banter to accompany the rather serious undertones Backed by artist Sal Buscema the comic is intelligently drawn and inked but by no means noteworthy on its own
To catch a brief glimpse of a time where Terry McGinnis dons the cape and cowl of Batman and Supes needs to be home before Matlock ldquoSuperman Beyondrdquo is well worth its $399 price tag
A Week in Ink Issue No 26
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates No 1
In an industry rife with reboots Jonathan Hickmanrsquos early entry into a post-Spidey world is compet-ing with some of the heavyweights in its division and when all the pages are down ldquoThe Ultimates No 1rdquo is holding its own
Told through the eyes of the heavy-handed General Fury the plot re-sembles everything seen before in the Marvel Universe During global calamity the call goes out for Earthrsquos mightiest only for them to meet a foe unlike anything theyrsquove fought before
Although the flow of the issue is not trend setting in its own right Esad Ribicrsquos artwork is From a redesigned Captain Britain to the outlandish Asgardians getting ham-mered in a bar each panel goes above and beyond the call of duty
Strangely absent from the fray is Cap himself Though pictured on the cover Americarsquos Super Soldier is MIA a real letdown for any of those coming off the hype of this summerrsquos blockbuster hit
Besides a few relatively tiny snafus the issue as a whole is a sincerely solid attempt to reconstruct the for-mer champion Hickman lays the groundwork for an incredible com-ic series but this stand-alone pres-ents only a slice of the literary pie
Gears of War Issue No 19
Even in ink and panel form the crew of Delta Squad can never catch a break Following Marcus Fe-nix and his troops near the recently demolished Jacinto the melanchol-ic series moves forward by sketch-ing out the final moments of Gears of War 2
While the canon is represented in partial accuracy the true issues with this ink and panel transfor-mation is that nothing can replace EPICrsquos gun-toting brotastic shooter mdash even itself To the teamrsquos credit the panels are composed from grit-ty sanguine palettes and mostly represent the heart and soul of the beloved franchise
Unfortunately between the dia-logue and lack of substance it seems as though the Gears team could use a little more time in basic training While Cole spouts iconic phrases the team banter stays to a mini-mum a harsh contrast from the consistent team morale the EPIC writers work so hard to perpetuate
Even with Gears of War 3 head writer Karen Traviss pumping out issues the fantastic feats of Delta Squad are probably best left on screen While it offers some serious fan service for those waiting in the wings for the trilogyrsquos triumphant conclusion tepid fans will find no solace here

An Uplifting Party Plan
NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Label EMI Capitol
Release Date Sept 29 1987
Grade B+
One band encapsulated the entire culmination of LArsquos funky alterna-tive stylings and ingrained itself forever in the alt-rock pantheon This band was Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before John Frusciantersquos melodic composing and Hillel Slovakrsquos death threatened to break up the funk RHCP was one of the most original bands to ever hit SoCal Now years later The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a testament to a time in music history long past
The albumrsquos flagship track ldquoFight Like a Braverdquo sets the musical scene for the entire CD This song would go on to be a rock anthem for all who suffer from addiction mdash even though lead singer Anthony Kiedis would relapse only a few years later Its infectious bass riff and stellar chorus secure it as one of the best songs the band has ever produced
As the album progresses RHCP break out their signature funkadelic-rock sounds only rivaled by the likes of George Clinton and his eclec-tic collective Parliament Funkadelic Of note ldquoMe and My Friendsrdquo has the instrumentals and triumphant force that the band has worked feverishly to revisit ever since
Flearsquos legendary slap bass stylings reverberate through the next few tracks thrusting forceful funk into the listenerrsquos mind and solidifying the iconic revelry of a band on the edge of society
Like any well-remembered CD the musical landscape is drastically al-tered just when the listener settles into the bandrsquos comfort zone This hallowed feature comes in the form of ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo The combi-nation of Hillel Slovakrsquos stunning sitar and Flearsquos funk riff expertly blend together to produce a sound unlike anything the Chili Peppers have ever tried
The band derives much of its current style from this time period mak-ing The Uplift Mofo Party Plan the launching point for their recent work

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

WEDNESDAY AUgUSt 31 2011 v THE SPECTRUM 17CLASSIFIEDS
ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album Irsquom With You
Release Date Aug 29
Label Warner Bros
Grade A-
After the bandrsquos two-year hiatus Anthony Kiedis and crew are ready to stir up the alt-rock pot and bring the incredible sounds of Josh Klinghofferrsquos stunning guitar work and iconic bass-funk that will surely please audiences the world over
Although John Frusciante stepped out in the last days of the Stadium Arcadium tour Klinghoffer has filled the gaping void and brought along with him a sound entirely unlike any RHCP CD before
The opening track on Irsquom With You ldquoMonarchy of Rosesrdquo preps fans for the uniquely different sounds of the album Heavy distortion cements a marked difference between classic RHCP and the rest of this multifaceted compilation
Catchy and lyrically entrancing ldquoFactory of Faithrdquo delivers quality bass riffs along with Kiedisrsquo killer vocals to create an intriguing mix of old and new RHCP reminiscent of Stadium Arcadium
ldquoBrendanrsquos Death Songrdquo a heartfelt acoustic bal-lad covers the death of long-time friend and initial supporter Brendan Mullen Incorporating a harder rock tonality in its closing minutes the track bleeds directly from a hurting Anthony Kiedis and its emo-tional impact is deeply felt
The albumrsquos midsection does well to remember the bandrsquos peak of Californication as both ldquoEthiopiardquo and ldquoLook Aroundrdquo bring the same heavy bass and vocal tracks the band was known for syncing up in perfect form
Klinghoffer long-time friend of Frusciante enters the fray without missing a beat even progressing the bandrsquos sound by adding keyboard and vocals to many of the albumrsquos more appealing songs
The albumrsquos first single ldquoThe Adventures of Rain Dance Maggierdquo prominently features overtly sexual-ized lyrics and probably the best use of cowbell since Blue Oyster Cultrsquos stint with the reaper
Other highlights include ldquoDid I Let You Knowrdquo ldquoEven You Brutusrdquo and the mellow groove ldquoMeet Me at the Cornerrdquo each of which contribute their own diverse sounds to an already alien production
Fans expecting to come into a classic culmination of Kiedis Flea and Frusciante magic will be taken by surprise by the twists and turns of RHCPrsquos latest me-lodic concoction

This summer lacked the big name album releases that generally populate your va-cation but that doesnrsquot mean that there werenrsquot albums that blew people away From indie to hip-hop numerous albums deserved the attention but lacked the pub-licity to get on the radio Here are the top 10 albums of the summer

Label Matador
These Canadian hardcore punkers bring to life a story of heartache and despair The vivid lyrics depict the story of David who attempts to find love mdash only to lose it again mdash and the pain and guilt that en-sues The heavy instrumentals only add to the emotion of main singer Pink Eyesrsquo gut-wrenching vocals

problem is its short 26-minute run time
Check out ldquoMonster in the Closetrdquo ldquoLiving Deadrdquo

Superman Beyond Zero Issue
Between the constant retelling of his birth world-renowned deaths every few hundred issues and some serious time spent in his twilight years Supermanrsquos aging is as shod-dy as Lex Luthorrsquos latest plot
Mortality of a super-hero is an issue covered by writers far and wide and while ex-Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco does nothing to further the medium his take on the aged Man of Steel has a few peak-ing moments of greatness
Picking up a year after Supes left Earth on a journey of self-discov-ery the world he once defended is an altered beast reeking of crime filth and abundant gang warfare With the once-greatest defender of the planet on a year long vacation using ldquoall-out-warfarerdquo to describe the place is an understatement
DeFalco writes a slightly better than average tale and for every few rays of hope he casts an inescap-able shadow of dull-witted banter to accompany the rather serious undertones Backed by artist Sal Buscema the comic is intelligently drawn and inked but by no means noteworthy on its own
To catch a brief glimpse of a time where Terry McGinnis dons the cape and cowl of Batman and Supes needs to be home before Matlock ldquoSuperman Beyondrdquo is well worth its $399 price tag
A Week in Ink Issue No 26
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates No 1
In an industry rife with reboots Jonathan Hickmanrsquos early entry into a post-Spidey world is compet-ing with some of the heavyweights in its division and when all the pages are down ldquoThe Ultimates No 1rdquo is holding its own
Told through the eyes of the heavy-handed General Fury the plot re-sembles everything seen before in the Marvel Universe During global calamity the call goes out for Earthrsquos mightiest only for them to meet a foe unlike anything theyrsquove fought before
Although the flow of the issue is not trend setting in its own right Esad Ribicrsquos artwork is From a redesigned Captain Britain to the outlandish Asgardians getting ham-mered in a bar each panel goes above and beyond the call of duty
Strangely absent from the fray is Cap himself Though pictured on the cover Americarsquos Super Soldier is MIA a real letdown for any of those coming off the hype of this summerrsquos blockbuster hit
Besides a few relatively tiny snafus the issue as a whole is a sincerely solid attempt to reconstruct the for-mer champion Hickman lays the groundwork for an incredible com-ic series but this stand-alone pres-ents only a slice of the literary pie
Gears of War Issue No 19
Even in ink and panel form the crew of Delta Squad can never catch a break Following Marcus Fe-nix and his troops near the recently demolished Jacinto the melanchol-ic series moves forward by sketch-ing out the final moments of Gears of War 2
While the canon is represented in partial accuracy the true issues with this ink and panel transfor-mation is that nothing can replace EPICrsquos gun-toting brotastic shooter mdash even itself To the teamrsquos credit the panels are composed from grit-ty sanguine palettes and mostly represent the heart and soul of the beloved franchise
Unfortunately between the dia-logue and lack of substance it seems as though the Gears team could use a little more time in basic training While Cole spouts iconic phrases the team banter stays to a mini-mum a harsh contrast from the consistent team morale the EPIC writers work so hard to perpetuate
Even with Gears of War 3 head writer Karen Traviss pumping out issues the fantastic feats of Delta Squad are probably best left on screen While it offers some serious fan service for those waiting in the wings for the trilogyrsquos triumphant conclusion tepid fans will find no solace here

An Uplifting Party Plan
NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Label EMI Capitol
Release Date Sept 29 1987
Grade B+
One band encapsulated the entire culmination of LArsquos funky alterna-tive stylings and ingrained itself forever in the alt-rock pantheon This band was Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before John Frusciantersquos melodic composing and Hillel Slovakrsquos death threatened to break up the funk RHCP was one of the most original bands to ever hit SoCal Now years later The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a testament to a time in music history long past
The albumrsquos flagship track ldquoFight Like a Braverdquo sets the musical scene for the entire CD This song would go on to be a rock anthem for all who suffer from addiction mdash even though lead singer Anthony Kiedis would relapse only a few years later Its infectious bass riff and stellar chorus secure it as one of the best songs the band has ever produced
As the album progresses RHCP break out their signature funkadelic-rock sounds only rivaled by the likes of George Clinton and his eclec-tic collective Parliament Funkadelic Of note ldquoMe and My Friendsrdquo has the instrumentals and triumphant force that the band has worked feverishly to revisit ever since
Flearsquos legendary slap bass stylings reverberate through the next few tracks thrusting forceful funk into the listenerrsquos mind and solidifying the iconic revelry of a band on the edge of society
Like any well-remembered CD the musical landscape is drastically al-tered just when the listener settles into the bandrsquos comfort zone This hallowed feature comes in the form of ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo The combi-nation of Hillel Slovakrsquos stunning sitar and Flearsquos funk riff expertly blend together to produce a sound unlike anything the Chili Peppers have ever tried
The band derives much of its current style from this time period mak-ing The Uplift Mofo Party Plan the launching point for their recent work

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

WEDNESDAY AUgUSt 31 2011 v THE SPECTRUM 17CLASSIFIEDS
ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship
Itrsquos Chazz Andersonrsquos time to be the next Bull in

NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Superman Beyond Zero Issue
Between the constant retelling of his birth world-renowned deaths every few hundred issues and some serious time spent in his twilight years Supermanrsquos aging is as shod-dy as Lex Luthorrsquos latest plot
Mortality of a super-hero is an issue covered by writers far and wide and while ex-Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco does nothing to further the medium his take on the aged Man of Steel has a few peak-ing moments of greatness
Picking up a year after Supes left Earth on a journey of self-discov-ery the world he once defended is an altered beast reeking of crime filth and abundant gang warfare With the once-greatest defender of the planet on a year long vacation using ldquoall-out-warfarerdquo to describe the place is an understatement
DeFalco writes a slightly better than average tale and for every few rays of hope he casts an inescap-able shadow of dull-witted banter to accompany the rather serious undertones Backed by artist Sal Buscema the comic is intelligently drawn and inked but by no means noteworthy on its own
To catch a brief glimpse of a time where Terry McGinnis dons the cape and cowl of Batman and Supes needs to be home before Matlock ldquoSuperman Beyondrdquo is well worth its $399 price tag
A Week in Ink Issue No 26
Ultimate Comics The Ultimates No 1
In an industry rife with reboots Jonathan Hickmanrsquos early entry into a post-Spidey world is compet-ing with some of the heavyweights in its division and when all the pages are down ldquoThe Ultimates No 1rdquo is holding its own
Told through the eyes of the heavy-handed General Fury the plot re-sembles everything seen before in the Marvel Universe During global calamity the call goes out for Earthrsquos mightiest only for them to meet a foe unlike anything theyrsquove fought before
Although the flow of the issue is not trend setting in its own right Esad Ribicrsquos artwork is From a redesigned Captain Britain to the outlandish Asgardians getting ham-mered in a bar each panel goes above and beyond the call of duty
Strangely absent from the fray is Cap himself Though pictured on the cover Americarsquos Super Soldier is MIA a real letdown for any of those coming off the hype of this summerrsquos blockbuster hit
Besides a few relatively tiny snafus the issue as a whole is a sincerely solid attempt to reconstruct the for-mer champion Hickman lays the groundwork for an incredible com-ic series but this stand-alone pres-ents only a slice of the literary pie
Gears of War Issue No 19
Even in ink and panel form the crew of Delta Squad can never catch a break Following Marcus Fe-nix and his troops near the recently demolished Jacinto the melanchol-ic series moves forward by sketch-ing out the final moments of Gears of War 2
While the canon is represented in partial accuracy the true issues with this ink and panel transfor-mation is that nothing can replace EPICrsquos gun-toting brotastic shooter mdash even itself To the teamrsquos credit the panels are composed from grit-ty sanguine palettes and mostly represent the heart and soul of the beloved franchise
Unfortunately between the dia-logue and lack of substance it seems as though the Gears team could use a little more time in basic training While Cole spouts iconic phrases the team banter stays to a mini-mum a harsh contrast from the consistent team morale the EPIC writers work so hard to perpetuate
Even with Gears of War 3 head writer Karen Traviss pumping out issues the fantastic feats of Delta Squad are probably best left on screen While it offers some serious fan service for those waiting in the wings for the trilogyrsquos triumphant conclusion tepid fans will find no solace here

An Uplifting Party Plan
NICOLAS PINO Arts Editor
Artist Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Label EMI Capitol
Release Date Sept 29 1987
Grade B+
One band encapsulated the entire culmination of LArsquos funky alterna-tive stylings and ingrained itself forever in the alt-rock pantheon This band was Red Hot Chili Peppers
Before John Frusciantersquos melodic composing and Hillel Slovakrsquos death threatened to break up the funk RHCP was one of the most original bands to ever hit SoCal Now years later The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is a testament to a time in music history long past
The albumrsquos flagship track ldquoFight Like a Braverdquo sets the musical scene for the entire CD This song would go on to be a rock anthem for all who suffer from addiction mdash even though lead singer Anthony Kiedis would relapse only a few years later Its infectious bass riff and stellar chorus secure it as one of the best songs the band has ever produced
As the album progresses RHCP break out their signature funkadelic-rock sounds only rivaled by the likes of George Clinton and his eclec-tic collective Parliament Funkadelic Of note ldquoMe and My Friendsrdquo has the instrumentals and triumphant force that the band has worked feverishly to revisit ever since
Flearsquos legendary slap bass stylings reverberate through the next few tracks thrusting forceful funk into the listenerrsquos mind and solidifying the iconic revelry of a band on the edge of society
Like any well-remembered CD the musical landscape is drastically al-tered just when the listener settles into the bandrsquos comfort zone This hallowed feature comes in the form of ldquoBehind the Sunrdquo The combi-nation of Hillel Slovakrsquos stunning sitar and Flearsquos funk riff expertly blend together to produce a sound unlike anything the Chili Peppers have ever tried
The band derives much of its current style from this time period mak-ing The Uplift Mofo Party Plan the launching point for their recent work

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

WEDNESDAY AUgUSt 31 2011 v THE SPECTRUM 17CLASSIFIEDS
ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

ldquoMedical school was a manrsquos world then Our graduating class of 88 medical students had 4 womenrdquo Fierro said ldquoIt was pretty isolat-ingrdquo
After Fierro graduated from the UB Medi-cal School and her husband Bob graduated from medical school at the University of Ot-tawa the couple moved to Fort Riley Kan where they both planned to enter the mili-tary as physicians
ldquoWe graduated during the Vietnam era when everybody went [into the service] except the womenhellipthey didnrsquot want women physi-ciansrdquo Fierro said ldquoWe even went to Wash-ington and saw the officer in charge of as-signments and volunteered No luck and I quote from a letter from the Office of the Surgeon General lsquowe are not recruiting phy-sician wivesrsquordquo
Deciding that there were other avenues to pursue the couple started their family while at Fort Riley and after Bob had finished his tour of duty moved to Virginia where they settled to raise their family Bob had started his own practice as a gynecologist and Fi-erro entered the Virginia Medical Examiner System and rose to the rank of Deputy Chief Medical Examiner served and as faculty at the Medical College of Virginia in the depart-ments of Legal Medicine and Pathology and served as a clinical professor at the Univer-sity of Virginia School of Medicine
ldquoI never went home at the end of the day feeling like I hadnrsquot done something mean-ingfulrdquo Fierro said ldquoItrsquos worthwhile workhelliprecognizing diseases that may have epidemic potential [and] recognizing causes of acci-dental death that are preventablerdquo
Fierro left Virginia and went to Greenville NC to serve as a professor of forensic pa-thology at East Carolina University for two years before returning to Virginia as Chief
Medical Examiner of the state
As Chief Medical Examiner Fierro oversaw high profile cases such as the tragic campus shooting at Virginia Tech an experience she described as both personally and profession-ally difficult for herself and the entire medi-cal examiner team Fierro however said that her job as a medical examiner lead to a re-warding career
ldquoYou are speaking for a dead person who cannot tell their own storyrdquo Fierro said ldquoA dead murder victim is unable to testify in court what happened to them and you get to tell that talehellipsomebody has to tell that storyrdquo
Marcella Fierro has taken pride in her role as a storyteller of peoplersquos lives and gained much attention with her work Novelist Pa-tricia Cornwell based her series of crime novels off Fierro while she was Chief Medi-cal Examiner in Virginia and built the main character Kay Scarpetta off of Fierro herself
Now retired Fierro 70 and her husband reside in Virginia and enjoys spending time with her family However she is always will-ing to excitedly retell her stories and experi-ences as a medical examiner
ldquoAll women should be empowered to go for their dreamsrdquo said Melissa Eckstein a senior psychology major
Fierro was not afraid to go for her ambitions despite adversity and encourages students of both genders to love learning and to take ad-vantages of opportunities to help others

Della Contrada also noted that he was op-timistic about the implications of the new campus not just for the university but also for the city of Buffalo as a whole
ldquoBuilding a new medical school is an im-portant step in the creation of UBrsquos down-town campusrdquo Della Contrada said ldquoIt will bring thousands of people to downtown Buffalo on a daily basis and provide new opportunities for UB faculty students and staff to engage with the city
A big part of the construction of the new campus is the universityrsquos collaboration with Kaleida Health a local non-profit health care provider The organization is excited about the opportunities presented by its collaboration with UB
ldquo[The collaboration] is about leveraging and creating infrastructure primarily through the construction of the schoolrdquo said Michael P Hughes vice president of marketing public relations and govern-ment affairs for Kaleida Health ldquoBeing able to have researchers and physicians working together will create many oppor-tunities for advancement in the field of health carerdquo
Although the construction of the down-town campus is a big priority for UB it is not the only venture in downtown Buffalo the university is making
This year the university will open the UB Institute for Healthcare Informatics lever-aging a $15 million investment from Dell Computers The institute will be focused on improving patient care through more efficient sharing and interpretation of medical records
Additionally UB recently broke ground on construction of a new Educational Oppor-tunity Center that will provide job training in entry-level science as well as medical and technology fields
While the relocation project is still be-ing planned there will be advancements made to the school in the coming year
ldquoOne new medical school building is al-ready near completionrdquo said Suazanne G Laychock Senior Associate Dean for Fac-ulty Affairs and Facilities at the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences ldquoIt will be located next to Buffalo General Hospi-tal and it will hold the Global Vascular In-stituterdquo
The building in question which will be completed in May 2012 will also be the home of a new research facility for the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sci-ences
ldquoThe upper five stories [of the building] belong to UBrdquo Laychock said ldquoIt will be used to build a Clinical Translation Re-search Centerrdquo
The relocation proposal will also create more than 3000 full-time jobs in Western New York by 2018 which includes 1325 new jobs for UB alone This will not only revitalize the university but the city of Buffalo as well
ldquoUBs proposal has earned unprecedented support in our region mdash from business leaders to legislators to students to faith-based organizationsrdquo said Jeremy Jacobs CEO of Delaware North Companies and chairman of the UB Council in a statement to the UB News Center ldquoUBs plan is a strat-egy for our entire region to move forward mdash economically culturally and socially A better UB will yield a better stronger Western New York

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7
2008 MAC Champs

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

WEDNESDAY AUgUSt 31 2011 v THE SPECTRUM 17CLASSIFIEDS
ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

ldquoBeing on this team really fills me with a sense of priderdquo Rivers said ldquoWell destroy whoever were lined up against We have a new and im-proved teamrdquo
Perhaps the most promising fea-ture of the Bullsrsquo air force is its variation of skill and style
What Buffalo fans can expect is a more consistent game plan With an addition to the squad in quar-terback Chazz Anderson Rivers is anticipating nothing less than flaw-less synchronization
ldquoWe all have chemistry with [An-derson]rdquo Rivers said ldquoHe is a peo-ple person He is a strong leader and he demands perfectionrdquo
One player whose productivity should benefit the most from the veteran leadership of Anderson is sophomore Alex Neutz who fin-ished second on the team in yards per game last season With a total of 414 yards in 2010 Neutz led Buf-falo receivers in yards per recep-tion with 159 as a freshman
Neutz finished between seniors Ed Young and Terrell Jackson who ended last year with five and three
touchdowns respectively Jackson was Quinns main resource on spe-cial teams and he was named to the Preseason All-MAC team as a punt returner Jackson finished four yards shy of Neutz with 376 yards per game in 2010
However the key to any assault is a secret weapon For the Bulls this year that weapon is junior Saron Hood Hood who saw limited ac-tion for Buffalo last season is de-scribed as an adept receiver who possesses great poise Many Bulls fans look forward to a breakout season from Hood in 2011
ldquoIm humbled Hood said I view this as a great opportunity to play in general Every time I step onto the field youll be able to see my passion for this teamrdquo
Fans arenrsquot the only ones expecting big things from Hood Quinn plans on utilizing the receiver frequently this year
ldquoItrsquos great to see a young man over-come a little bit of size and prove he can come out here and compete at this levelrdquo Quinn said ldquo[Hood] plays with his head his heart and his pads He has great focus and
concentration on catching the ballrdquo
Appearing in nine games as a sophomore Hood grabbed just four passes for a total of 33 yards Yet he feels that time on the side-lines has benefitted his develop-ment and been his motivation this summer Furthermore he has no doubts about what the Bulls ulti-mately seek ndash a MAC champion-ship
ldquoWe work hard every day and weve really moved forwardrdquo Hood said ldquoOur potential is end-less Why not reach for the starsrdquo
Aside from vying for a conference title this year the Bulls look to es-tablish themselves as a force in all of college football With a schedule that includes some fierce out-of-conference competition Quinn has faith in his program
ldquo[The team] loves to competerdquo Quinn said ldquoThats what good teams do ndash compete Thats what Division I college football is all aboutrdquo

Warde Manuel put a lot of effort into getting the team new uniforms Quinn also said the athletes have been asking him for a new look since he took the job of head coach
ldquoItrsquos just a small step in terms of what wersquore committing to dordquo Quinn said ldquoI know the kids are excited and Irsquom saying itrsquos now and itrsquos this season and this is the only one that matters I tell them all the time lsquodonrsquot worry about what the jersey looks like worry about what goes into itrsquordquo
The seemingly endless list of questions surrounding the 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team will finally begin to be answered on Saturday
What Theyrsquore Saying
Junior outside linebacker Jaleel Verser
ldquoWersquove been working hard and taking it day by day making sure our chemistry is there for the season Wersquore all looking to step up I plan on being more vocal Itrsquos a new team but we still have a chip on our shoulder from last yearrdquo
Senior right tackle Matt Ostrowski
ldquoChazz always gets the offensive line ready to go because without us protecting for him he canrsquot do what he needs to do Wersquore starting to click and we should have an explosive offenserdquo
Sophomore outside linebacker Khalil Mack
ldquoI canrsquot wait to get out there with a head of steam and just hit some-one The hype surrounding our front seven doesnrsquot mean anything We know we need to go out and get some wins on the fieldrdquo
Junior inside linebacker Scott Pettigrew
ldquoI learned a lot from last year and Irsquom ready to move onto this sea-son Wersquore all looking to step up as leaders but we have faith in the guys behind us Wersquore going to help them as they progressrdquo
Head coach Jeff Quinn
ldquoI feel more comfortable [this year] and I think the players do too with me My wife says lsquoitrsquos taken 24 years to get to know you Jeffrsquo The players understand my philosophy ndash donrsquot be thin-skinned be-cause Irsquom here to coach you and make you a better football playerrdquo

Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-

Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo

NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
In 2008 the Bulls traveled to Pittsburgh and dropped a hard-fought game 27-16 Quinn anticipates a close match again but he plans on coming out on top this time
ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

ldquoWersquore going in it with one goal and one ob-jective and thatrsquos to play our very best and have the outcome we expectrdquo Quinn said
The Bulls expect to win but they didnrsquot suc-ceed in 2010
ldquoIf yoursquore a competitor that doesnrsquot sit well ndash what transpired last yearrdquo Quinn said ldquoOur kids were embarrassed Call it what you want ndash a chip on your shoulder They play at a high intense passionate level ev-ery single day Nobody felt good about what happened a year ago Do I feel theyrsquore more motivated Do they know that the team is better AbsolutelyrdquoMany fans believe ev-ery position will improve from last season Every position that is with the exception of the defensive backfield
The Buffalo secondary has some major shoes to fill With Domonic Cook Davonte Shannon and Josh Thomas spending their time at NFL training camps the defen-sive backfield for Buffalo has been gravely depleted Senior safety Josh Copeland is switching from linebacker to defensive back to help fill the void
ldquoI accept the pressure and the responsi-bility it takes to come from linebacker to safety and lead these guysrdquo Copeland said ldquoI learned a lot from [Cook Shannon and Thomas] and those guys challenged me to stay positive and be a leader All summer and spring wersquove been working till Sept 3
at Pittsburgh Being back on the field is just excitingrdquo
It is yet to be discovered whether the prod-uct Quinn puts on the field will improve but fans can rest assured that at the very least the team will look different
The new uniforms were introduced at the annual Kickoff Luncheon at the Millenium Hotel in Cheektowaga NY Four days later summer practice began at UB Stadium
The uniforms are part of the Nike Pro Com-bat System uniforms ndash worn by Miami (FL) and West Virginia among others ndash and they present the Bulls with five different combi-nations for games The jerseys will come in blue and white while the pants will come in blue white and black The jerseys will display the athletesrsquo names on the back The teamrsquos helmets remain unchanged
ldquoI always say if you look good you play wellrdquo Copeland said ldquoItrsquos something to look forward to for the fansrdquo
Quinn worked in conjunction with Nike ADPRO sports and members of his staff to finalize the look He said Athletic Director
SCOTT RESNICK Asst Sports Editor
In Buffalo football fans know first-hand that championship aspirations can only become a reality with strong play at the quarterback position
Signal caller Drew Willy be-came a household name on campus in 2008 when he led the Bulls to the Mid-American Con-ference championship In 2011 the Bulls boast four starting-caliber quarterbacks who are chomping at the bit to lead the Bulls to their next title
The Bulls entered training camp this summer with a plethora of holes to fill due to departed se-niors However perhaps no bat-tle in camp was more integral to the pending success of the Bulls than the competition at quarter-back
Buffalo stumbled to a 2-10 re-cord in 2010 and itrsquos no secret that the teamrsquos struggles were a direct result of its inconsisten-cies at the quarterback position
First-year starter Jerry Davis
and true freshman Alex Zordich split time at the position in 2010 and they struggled through their fair share of growing pains behind a shoddy offensive line
Ultimately the success of the quarterback position relies on the strength of the offensive line So far in 2011 head coach Jeff Quinn is confident that his line can improve on last sea-sonrsquos underwhelming perfor-mance
ldquoThe offensive line is playing harder theyrsquore playing with more determinationrdquo Quinn said ldquoTheyrsquore quicker theyrsquore picking up things theyrsquore an-ticipating and reacting better Theyrsquore bigger stronger and more explosiverdquo
While the offensive line looks to be vastly improved in 2011 Quinn still set out to strengthen the quarterback position dur-ing the offseason and in doing so he created a level of intensity at the position that hasnrsquot been seen since the days of Willy
Quinn brought in University of
Cincinnati transfer Chazz An-derson a fifth-year senior who Quinn coached during his days as the Bearcatsrsquo offensive coor-dinator
Prior to adding Anderson Quinn successfully recruited local Williamsville product Joe Licata He was widely regarded as one of the top New York state quarterbacks in the class of 2011 and he was rated by Scoutcom as a top 100 quarterback in the nation
Licata garnered praise from his head coach throughout training camp
ldquoJoey Licatarsquos done very well in terms of completion ratiordquo Quinn said ldquoHersquos been out-standing in terms of comple-tion and judgment Hersquos a pure throwerrdquo
Despite Quinnrsquos heavy praise for all four of the quarterbacks Anderson won the job out of training camp Itrsquos now his re-sponsibility to bring the Bulls back to prominence
Anderson appears to be more
than ready to accept that chal-lenge
ldquoConsistency is what we need to work on mostrdquo Anderson said ldquoI want to be predictable to my team I want them to know when Irsquom on the field exactly what Irsquom giving themrdquo
Quinn also had high praise for his newly-minted starter
ldquoThe guys are very confident with the addition of Chazzrdquo Quinn said ldquoHe is a very ma-ture and bright young man He has great judgment with the ball and has the ability to get out of troublerdquo
As the Bulls travel to Pittsburgh for Saturdayrsquos season opener against the Panthers they will leave Buffalo with a newfound air of confidence 2010 was an ugly season but the Bulls may have finally found the man who can right the ship

only become your friends but your fam-ily as well She used this model as a way to describe her time spent with the SA
ldquoThat community feel I think thatrsquos something Irsquove grown up with that I want to embrace in every part of my liferdquo Datz said ldquoSA is not just my coworkers not just my friends but theyrsquore my family Itrsquos my home away from homerdquo
Datz also credits her sleep-away camp experience as a key role in her develop-ment of leadership qualities
Datz also comes from a very close-knit family that has been fully supportive and behind her every inch of the way Even though she grew up in the small town of Hewlett NY on Long Island both her and her family recognize the Buffalo area as their ldquosecond homerdquo Her father often jokes that their family has three vacation spots the three ldquoBrsquosrdquo Boca Raton Fla their beach cabana and most importantly the city of Buffalo
Her brother Max Datz is four years her senior and one of her best friends Apart from transitioning from sharing a room to moving across the hall from each oth-er the siblings had been almost insepa-rable through their entire childhood
Their parents are caterers and thus must manage irregular hours at work Max as the older sibling was put in charge of protecting JoAnna When asked to describe how instrumental their relationship was in the ldquogrowing uprdquo process for both of the siblings Max described a childhood trip to Las Vegas with their family
ldquoI remember one time she came back with this giant stuffed animal The thing was big enough to fit on itrsquos own airplane seat it was even bigger than her at the timerdquo Max said ldquoShe rode the whole plane ride home with it on her lap But JoAnna won it it was hard to win and she wanted the prizerdquo
According to Max this moment is the es-sence of JoAnna She has big goals that she wants to achieve for herself and ev-eryone around her and she will not stop at anything to reach that point where she and her peers are truly happy and successful
ldquoAnything she wants for herself she wants for everyonerdquo Max said ldquoJoAnna wants to be happy JoAnna wants to be successful JoAnna wants good things for herself and every good thing she wants for herself she wants for everyone elserdquo
Because Datz according to her assistant Thomas Scott wants to improve not only herself but also all those around her SA president was a natural step from her former position as the academic clubs coordinator He explained that she want-
ed to change the ldquostatus quordquo and make SA more inviting and student-friendly than it has been in the past
ldquoOne of the things wersquove been saying a lot the past couple of weeks is that a lot of things in SA havenrsquot changed over the years But this year JoAnna rewrote the bookrdquo Scott said ldquoEverything from the staff handbook was redone the staff was completely reorganized ndash just everything has been changed because itrsquos been the same for so many years and she wanted to improverdquo
Datz and her colleagues ran under the VOICE Party which aims to give a ldquovoicerdquo back to the students and give them the necessary tools to be part of the change She believes that students should have all the resources and knowledge to get the most out of their undergraduate experience - with a population of over 19000 students that pay a mandatory $9475 student activity fee each semes-ter the SA staff believes each student de-serves a say in how itrsquos used
If you asked any of Datzrsquos family and closest friends they would all respond that she is impossible to keep up with A self-proclaimed ldquoworkaholicrdquo Datz re-ally puts all her time and energy into her projects and ideas
ldquoItrsquos really hard to keep up with her be-cause shersquos always going 150 miles per hour to help a couple more people or do whatever else she can to help someone elserdquo said Jon Davis Datzrsquos boyfriend of three years ldquoShe literally gets home and is asleep 15 steps inside the door if shersquos not working on somethingrdquo
Beyond SA Datz is a fifth-year senior ma-joring in communication and business administration with a concentration in marketing and advertising She hopes that this experience will help her in the job market once she has graduated
In her spare time JoAnna enjoys hav-ing fun with friends and her boyfriend watching TV (she even refers to herself as a ldquoGleekrdquo) and she loves to spend time outside on the rare warm and snow-free days in Buffalo
ldquoI use the common joke that when I de-cided I wanted to run for president I knew about A B C D E F but nobody told me about G through ZZZrdquo Datz said ldquoAnd there are a lot of things that will fly on your plate or need a split second deci-sion but I think that [this position] will provide me with a really valuable expe-rience I hope to always be able to give back to the UB community and whatever community I find myself inrdquo

two quick sporadic thoughts on whatrsquos happening in sports ndash nationally and at UB
AARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
NFL Football is Back
Thatrsquos right ndash football I canrsquot stop listening to the Monday Night Football theme song After all the labor negotiations and contract dis-putes we finally have football I never want to see Adam Schefter again
As the famous Counting Crows song goes ldquoDonrsquot it always seem to go that you donrsquot know what you got lsquotil itrsquos gonerdquo While I normally spend the preseason praying that nobody on the Bills gets hurt I watched the NFL with newfound interest this August Irsquove never been happier to see Billy Volek and Jeff Garcia slinging the ball around the field
My fantasy lineup is set and I believe that my selection of Peyton Hillis in the second round was the steal of the draft
As far as Bills fans are concerned it was pleasurable to see that Shawne Merriman still has the ability to hit someone not named Tila Tequila I visited Ralph Wilson Stadium on Saturday to watch the Bills come back and defeat Jacksonville in thrilling fashion ndash 35-32 in overtime At the conclusion of the game I sat back drew a deep breath and considered how privileged we are to have football this fall
I have newfound fervor for the game
UB Football Tries to Bounce Back
Yoursquore luckier than many if you werenrsquot around to watch the football team last year The 2-10 season was hard to watch Coach Jeff Quinn flip-flopped between quarter-backs (Jerry Davis and Alex Zordich) more than Brett Favre did over retiring You couldnrsquot help but feel bad for Quinn Both quarterbacks were inexperienced and it showed
This year transfer quarterback Chazz An-derson will start and Davis and Zordich will be groomed for the future The Bulls lost three defensive backs to the NFL ndash a pretty impressive number for a two-win team Unfortunately that depletes the Buffalo de-fense Wersquoll see where this year goes
The Bulls will only improve if they can gar-ner the lead early The team was 2-0 when leading at the half last season When they were trailing or tied at the half the Bulls went 0-10 I asked Coach Quinn if he thought jumping out to an early lead was integral to the teamrsquos success in 2011 but he down-played it saying every ballgame is a four-quarter affair
I foresee the wider receiver corps as UBrsquos greatest asset Look out for Marcus Rivers Terrell Jackson Alex Neutz and Saron Hood
Expect a better season but I donrsquot see a re-turn to Mid-American Conference Champi-onship lore coming just yet
Before you jump on the ldquofire Jeff Quinnrdquo bandwagon keep this fun fact in mind be-loved former UB head coach Turner Gill (now head coach at Kansas) went 2-10 in his first season in 2006 In 2007 the team went 5-7

Receivers look to attack with new gunslinger at the helmANDREIUS COLEMAN Asst Sports Editor
Considered by many to be the best defense in the Mid-American Conference in 2010 the only excuse for the Bulls woes last year was their inability to get on the board But with a multitude of talented receivers re-turning from last season and a new quar-terback in the backfield the Bulls are confi-dent they can outscore any opponent
Buffalo has three returning receivers who averaged over 30 yards per game last year Leading the way is senior Marcus Rivers who ended last year with 690 total recep-tion yards (575 per game) and five touch-downs on the season He believes therersquos no limit on the teamrsquos potential in 2011
Bulls Look to Sky for Answers
Football team looks to rebound this yearAARON MANSFIELD Senior Sports Editor
Their opponents are daunting ndash Pittsburgh Connecticut Tennessee Their doubters are abundant ndash picked to finish second-last in the Mid-American Conference The 2011 Buffalo Bulls football team however doesnrsquot care about any of that
ldquoWe fear no onerdquo said head coach Jeff Quinn
The new season follows an intriguing sum-mer Three defensive players from Buffalo signed with NFL teams Quinn wouldnrsquot an-nounce who the starting quarterback would be in a closely-contested duel between ju-nior Jerry Davis and sophomore Alex Zor-dich
Then drama unfolded Buffalo announced the arrival of quarterback Chazz Anderson a transfer from Cincinnati To top off the ex-citing news the Bulls introduced new uni-forms this summer
Saturday marks a new season for the Bulls as they travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers at 6 pm Buffalo is looking to bounce back from a 2-10 record in 2010 Yet if you ask the Bulls how they feel about the coming season yoursquoll think they won the national championship last year Confi-dence is tremendously high at UB Stadium
