THE PARKING GAME

Jacqueline Conroy and Caitlin Cole-Con-roy regularly leave their home in Tonawanda, New York at 8:30 a.m. an hour and a half before their first class.

The reason is simple: parking.

The sisters hate the stress of circling UBs parking lots. Theyve even invented a game in which they pretend to be cheesy game show hosts who raffle off parking spots.

I like to call it the Parking Game, Con-roy said. Its always a gamble.

Conroy, a graduate educational psychology and quantitative methods student, and Cole-Conroy, a junior anthropology major, lost the game four times when they couldnt find a parking spot and had to drive back home and have their dad drop them off at school.

Once, Conroy spent almost two hours cir-cling between Jarvis A, Jarvis B, Governors B, Baird A, Slee A and Slee B lots before she gave up and drove home.

Mens basketball head coach Bobby Hur-ley accepted the head coaching position at Arizona State Thursday.

Hurley, who coached Buffalo for two sea-sons, did not answer The Spectrums calls to his cellphone but released a statement say-ing he plans to set a new standard of win-ning conference and national titles at Ari-zona State.

While it was an extremely difficult deci-sion to move on from my team in Buffa-lo, this is a tremendous opportunity and I want to thank [Arizona State Athletic Di-rector Ray Anderson] and [Arizona State President Michael Crow] for selecting me as

the leader of the ASU mens basketball pro-gram, Hurley said in a statement.

AZCentral, an Arizona-based breaking news website, reported Hurleys deal is for five years but his salary is not yet known.

Assistant coach Nate Oats has been named Buffalos interim head coach.

Hurley signed an extension with UB until the 2018-19 season in September. The con-tract had a base salary of roughly $250,000 per year plus other incentives such as 25 percent of all ticket revenue after the school sold more than $300,000 worth of tickets.

According to a clause in the contract, if Hurley terminates the contract be-fore March 24, 2019, he must pay Buffalo half of the remainder of his annual salary, which will be roughly $500,000.

None of UB Athletics staff answered phone calls Thursday night. The Spectrum, therefore, was unable to speak with any players currently on the teams roster.

UB Athletics released a statement from Athletic Director Danny White Thursday thanking Hurley for his time as coach.

We would like to thank Bobby for his contributions growing our mens basket-ball program, White said in a release. It is important for us to continue to build on the success with a new leader and I am ex-tremely confident that we will find a lead-er who can take our program to even great-er heights.

The players were told of Hurleys de-parture in a team meeting with White on Thursday, according to Fola Branco, a soph-omore psychology major and practice player for the Bulls. Branco said some players were in shock, and were talking about wheth-er they want to leave [UB] or not, but some also understood Hurleys decision.

At first Im hurt, but at the same time too, its like family. You want him to do whats best for his family, Branco said. We made history here so thats something they can never take away from us. But on top of it too, its sad but at the same time you got to move on.

Hurley had been rumored for head coach-ing positions at schools like DePaul and St. Johns over the past month after he guided Buffalo to its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. The appearance came after the programs first-ever Mid-American Confer-ence Tournament Championship. Buffalo fell 68-62 to No. 5 seed West Virginia in the Round of 64.

In an interview with Sports Illustrateds SI Now on March 31, Hurley said he felt he would be the Bulls head coach next sea-son and said he was just focusing on Buf-falo right now. Hurley also told ESPN Ra-dios Colin Cowherd that his heart is still in Buffalo on The Herd on March 31.

Deputy Director of Athletics Allen Greene told The Spectrum in March that UB Athletics had a deal in place with Hurley to make him the highest-paid coach in the

MAC, but Hurley had not yet signed the contract.

Buffalo donors had rallied to raise mon-ey to increase Hurleys base salary for a new contract in the hope he wouldnt leave for a different school. Greene told The Spectrum in March the use of donor money could help keep coaches in Buffalo at a price that works for the Athletics Department.

The less burden we could put on the in-stitution in order of financial resources, the easier it is for us to retain some of these coaches, Greene told The Spectrum.

Bucky Gleason of The Buffalo News tweet-ed that Hurley was offered $551,000 per year $1,000 more per year than Ohio head coach Saul Phillips, who just completed his first year at Ohio with a 10-20 record.

Gleason reported Hurley was insult-ed by UBs approach to the new contract and was angered that UB sources may have

leaked to the media that the contract was fi-nalized when it was not.

Graduating senior forward Will Regan de-clined to speak with The Spectrum, but tweet-ed Thursday night: Change is opportuni-ty! Coach did a great job and will continue to, just like Danny White and his staff. Ohh yeah, X [Xavier Ford] and I are still MAC Champs.

Regan told The Spectrum in March that the team would like for Hurley to come back, but that you put faith in the administration to do the best they can to keep him Its a business and theres nothing you can do be-side that.

Hurley has been Buffalos second-most expensive head coach for the past two years, behind former football head coach Jeff Quinn. Hurleys base salary was $250,000 in 2013 but he earned $336,669 including ben-efits and bonuses paid by the university and third parties.

Branco said some players want Oats to become Buffalos permanent head coach. Oats arrived in Buffalo with Hurley in 2013 after 11 seasons at Romulus High School outside Detroit, Michigan. Oats won the schools first-ever state title. He coached current Bulls junior forwards Justin Moss and Raheem Johnson and freshman guard Christian Pino at Romulus.

Assistant coach Levi Watkins will join Hurley at Arizona State, according to AZ-Central.

Jonathan Mitnik, a junior exercise science major who won this seasons free tuition giveaway promotion, said watching Buffalo in the NCAA Tournament was amazing.

It opened up a new aspect to the Buf-falo community, showing that we do have a D-1 basketball team, Mitnik said. But were also competitive and we plan on being competitive. [Hurley] showed the communi-ty that side of UB Athletics.

Alessandro Carusone, a sophomore com-munication major, said while you cant blame Hurley for leaving Buffalo for po-tentially more money, its also a cruel re-minder from the business side.

Were the ones that gave him a shot and this is how he repays us? Carusone said. Its unfortunate my university had to be on the short end of the stick.

White hired Hurley in March 2013 after firing 14-year head coach Reggie Wither-spoon. Whites father, Kevin White, is the athletic director at Duke, where Hurley was a star point guard on two national champi-onship teams. Hurley is the NCAA all-time leader in assists.

Bye bye Hurley

The recent furor over a far-from-picturesque statue of famed comedian Lucille Ball has made it beyond clear that the village of Ce-loron, the childhood home of the actress, still loves Lucy.

The uproar, which ultimately made it onto CNN and Fox News, started as many viral protests tend to do with a Facebook page.

From Facebook to front pages, the communitys outrage has taken on a life of its own and blown a minor issue out of proportion.

Its true that the statue, which was placed in Lucille Ball Memo-rial Park in 2009 is undeniably un-attractive.

Depicting Lucy in one of the more famous scenes from her television show, as she holds up a spoonful of vitameatavegamin, all appears well with the statue until her face comes into view.

Compared to Steve Buscemi, a zombie from The Walking Dead

and Yoda, among other unsavory comparisons online, Lucys face is admittedly an unflattering and even unrecognizable depiction.

So community members are right to complain about the be-smirching of their towns claim to fame.

But now, because of the un-bridled outrage that communi-ty members took to the web, the town is recognized nationwide for its unappealing artwork, rath-er than the legacy of the comedian who grew up there.

And despite the discontent of Ce-lorons citizens, the statue still at-tracts tourists and stars in photo ops visitors, apparently, are more for-giving than residents who have to see the artwork on a regular basis.

The entire debacle has generat-ed far more negative attention than Celoron ever needed or the well-meaning artist who sculpted the statue in the first place.

The outraged complaints and exaggerated comparisons online may have gotten the town into the Los Angeles Times, but they also insulted the work of an artist who was simply doing his best.

Even if the results of Dave Pou-lin, the artist who is responsible for the statue, are far from ideal as he acknowledges a more re-strained protest on the part of Ce-loron residents would have been more considerate.

Poulin has offered to redo the statue, saying hes willing to put his time and money into a facelift, a classy move that hopefully quiets residents critiques of his work.

But since going viral, the story has picked up enough momentum that Celoron now has more ambi-

tious plans.

Fortunately, the mayor has made it clear that taxpayers money will not be going towards improv-ing the statue replacing the head could cost up to $10,000 but the town has started a fundraising campaign.

For a story that never should have made headlines in the first place, it appears that a happy end-ing is in store.

And fittingly, the whole debacle is pretty funny its supposed to be the statue thats honoring Lucy, but really its the comedic elements of this saga that are doing justice to the comedians legacy.

For student-athletes in the Mid-American Conference, UB is an at-tractive destination with its over $31 million dedicated to supporting the athletic department, outdoing the rest of the conference in spending.

But for coaches, whose sala-ries dont reflect this high level of spending, UB may be losing some of its appeal.

Despite coming in at the top of the list in terms of overall spend-ing among MAC schools, UB is ranked ninth lowest out of the 12 MAC schools when it comes to head coaches salaries in the 2013-2014 fiscal year.

Much of the athletic departments spending is wisely distributed, with money going to necessary opera-tions like facilities and maintenance.

But the amount of money going to coaches remains questionable.

Its potentially one of the rea-sons Arizona State was able to lure mens basketball head coach Bobby Hurley away from Buffalo on Thursday. While a Mid-Major school like UB certainly cant be asked to compete monetarily with a Power Five conference school like Arizona State, Buffalo may not have done itself any favors.

Bucky Gleason of The Buffalo News tweeted Thursday that Buffa-los offer made Hurley the highest-paid coach in the MAC by $1,000. Saul Phillips, Ohios first-year head coach who went 10-20 this season, was the highest-paid coach in the MAC with a salary of $550,000. Gleason reported that a source

told him Hurley was insulted by UBs approach to the contract.

Even former volleyball head coach Reed Sunahara left UB in March after just one season to take the job at West Virginia and a $30,000 bump in salary.

So, although it sounds ludicrous to worry that a coach earning a quarter million a year might need more money, UB Athletics needs to do whats necessary to keep its best coaches here and fast.

Doing so helps to ensure a more successful athletics program, which in turn supports the school as a whole.

Because of course, its also im-portant to look at the bigger pic-ture. Theres much more to UB than its athletics department.

The majority of students here dont compete on these teams, and many dont even attend games. They dont benefit from the mil-lions of dollars being poured into UB Athletics at least not directly.

But arguably, all of UB bene-fits from its athletics programs in-creasing success and recognition.

An elevated athletic profile means an increase in name-recognition for the school as a whole, not just its

athletics department. If UBs rising popularity can translate to an uptick in applications and admissions, the school as a whole benefits.

The vast amount of money that UB spends on sports can certainly seem off-putting, especially as mul-tiple programs across campus are in need of funding, and many stu-dents who arent athletes deserve scholarships as well.

But if the cycle of spending works as it should UB funds its athletics departments, and in re-turn the department helps bring in more revenue for all theres not much to complain about there.

Of course, it is important that UB remain an institution that welcomes and provides resources for all its stu-dents those who spend their days in Alumni or those who pass the hours in Lockwood.

Ultimately, all of UBs students deserve their shot at success whether success means winning games or earning As.

Maintaining that balance must remain the top priority. It might not be as exciting or newsworthy as making it into March Madness, but its importance is unrivaled.

MARLEE TUSKESCONTRIBUTING WRITER

What is your first reaction when you hear the word feminism?

Maybe you cringe or roll your eyes. Maybe youre apprehensive to read this column.

Or maybe youre like me, and know that feminism is not cringe-

worthy; its actually a movement that deserves to be embraced. Feminism: the advocacy of wom-ens rights on the grounds of po-litical, social and economic equal-ity to men.

Funny, I didnt see the phrases man-hater, demeaning or even crazy anywhere in that definition provided by Merriam-Websters online dictionary.

In the past few years, it has be-come more apparent to me that this movement, which people should be embracing, is now stigmatized. With social media accounts like Meninist, solely tweeting jokes at

the expense of women, female ce-lebrities like Katy Perry and Carrie Underwood proudly declaring they are not feminists and Rush Lim-baugh on his popular radio show discussing the evils of feminazis, it is not odd for our society to view a woman as a crazy bra-burner the moment she proclaims herself as a feminist.

This needs to end.

We were taught in elementary school all men are created equal. Little did we know then how much emphasis was placed on the word men.

The median earnings for women are usually 80 percent of what men are paid, and even less than that for women of color, according to the American Association of Universi-ty Women. In Londa Schiebingers book Has Feminism Changed Science? she notes 82 percent of men who have higher-up academic positions have a family and only 17 percent of women in higher academic posi-tions have a family.

The feminists who some so ea-

gerly look down upon in this day and age would be commended by those who came years before the ones who fought for our right to vote, who worked to start Planned Parenthood and ended gender seg-regation in public schools. Fem-inists now are fighting to shatter the glass ceiling and end women being paid 80 cents to a mans dol-lar for the same work.

Ive often found just by mention-ing to someone I am a feminist, their demeanor toward me chang-es. I immediately become more sus-ceptible to sexist jokes or lame at-tempts at debating why our society doesnt need feminism anymore.

Optimist: The glass is half full, pessimist: the glass is half empty, feminist: the glass is being raped.

This is just one of the sever-al jokes posted on the popu-lar twitter account Meninist. As mentioned before, the Twitter ac-count, which has over 800,000 fol-lowers, dedicates its page to belit-tling women, specifically feminists.

Our societys view on feminism needs to

improve

Feminism is not a dirty word

The sisters often see students attempt to win the game by simultaneously turning into the same parking spot.

My favorite is when they play chicken and see who stops first, Conroy said.

Last year, Cole-Conroy took out a $1,000 loan and chose to live on campus in Red Jacket to avoid the hassle of parking and be-ing late to class, she said.

This year, both sisters live at home and usually have their dad drop them off at school. When they do drive, they say they prefer to get parking close to the Academic Spine because its too cold to walk long dis-tances in the winter.

Unlike students and faculty, who routinely complain about park-ing, UB parking of-ficials do not see a problem with UBs parking.

Maria Wallace, di-rector of UB Parking and Transportation Services, said that even on Wednesdays the busiest days at UB there is enough parking for everyone. North Campus alone has more than 1,000 parking spots left at noon, she said.

But for many students that isnt enough.

I always feel rushed [to get to class]. I cant even think straight. I get anxiety just trying to find parking, said Donte Chavers, a junior business administration major who commutes to campus every day.

Each year Parking and Transportation conducts a survey of students satisfaction with parking. In 2014-15, only 1,369 stu-dents responded to the survey about 6 percent of UBs student body, according to Parking and Transportation Services.

Of those who responded, about 34 per-cent ranked their overall satisfaction as fair or poor. But 58 percent of respon-

dents, or 800 students, said their satisfaction was good or higher.

The answer to UBs parking problem isnt more parking its more planning, Wal-lace said.

Wallace said students should plan ahead and arrive on campus early to avoid circling the lots.

And the demand for parking has de-creased in the past six years, according to Wallace. Six years ago, approximately 21,400 students had parking permits. Last year, just 17,480 students had parking permits a de-crease of almost 4,000 students.

Still, students like the Conroy sisters struggle to find parking on campus each morning. Some students feel UB officials should be more connected to student needs and the time constraints students face with off-campus jobs and responsibilities not everyone has time to plan ahead [] to avoid circling the lots, as Wallace suggests.

Many of the spots open on North Campus after noon are on the periphery of campus, like in Ellicott and the Center for Tomorrow lots. Wallace recommends parking there and

then taking the buses or shuttles that run reg-ularly to the main parts of campus.

While some stu-dents would like to see more parking lots on North Campus to bet-ter accommodate the thousands of students

looking for parking each morning, others think more lots would make the campus ug-lier and less environmentally friendly.

Managing demandEvery year UB collects $8.5 million from

the mandatory student transportation fee, which is more than 90 percent of its overall budget. Full-time students pay $187.25 and part-time students pay $15.60 each semester for the transportation fee, according to the 2014-15 Broad-based Fee Rates on the UB Student Accounts webpage.

That fee covers the $6,672,000 Transpor-tation spends on the 28 Stampede buses, 16 campus shuttles, mall/market busing servic-es, Bikeshare, bicycle racks, a GPS that al-lows students to look at shuttle locations in real-time and transit advertising.

Parking spends $2,401,000 on things like lot directional signs, University Police pa-

trols, parking enforce-ment, carpool spaces, snow removal, electric vehicle charging stations and a parking radio sta-tion.

Faculty and staff pay an annual vehicle registration fee of $9.65. This fee cov-ers the cost of producing the hangtags and is ne-gotiated through faculty union bargaining agree-ments, Wallace said.

And Parking and Trans-portation has another way to bring in more revenue parking violations.

In 2013, approximately 19,000 parking violations were issued, according to Student Accounts. Since parking violations cost at least $20, Parking and Transportation brought in an extra $380,000.

The 17,402 students with hangtags are limited to five student-only lots along the Academic Spine, located on the periphery of campus in the Arena, Lake La Salle, Stadium, Special Events and Governors E lots. These lots have a total of 1,220 spots.

For the 8,400 faculty and staff with hang-tags, however, their five exclusive lots Baird B, Jacobs A, Hochstetter A, Gover-nors B and Furnas have a combined total of 1,124 spots. Faculty and staff-only lots are located closer to the Academic Spine than those reserved for students.

[UB] definitely needs to figure out a way to get more student lots, said Jemila Hoyte-King, a junior business administration and psychology major. I think there arent enough commuter lots. Faculty lots are al-most always half-empty, and the students are struggling to find parking. Its not fair.

Chavers agrees with Hoyte-King and said UB isnt being efficient with its lots.

When I come to school, theres like no room in the student lots and then in the fac-ulty lots, theres like five cars. Id say about 75 percent of their lots are open while students

are looking for parking spots, Chavers said.

The rest of the lots on the Academ-ic Spine on North Campus are combined student/faculty lots, totaling 3,816 parking spots.

The nearly 25,802 people parking on UBs North Campus have access to just 6,160 parking spots along the Academic Spine, which means there are about 4.19 people per parking spot on the Spine.

Hoyte-King said for earlier classes, she can show up around 8 or 8:30 a.m. and get a parking spot quickly.

But if its later in the day, like around 10, it can take around half an hour to 45 min-utes to find a space, she said.

To park near the Academic Spine, Ni-cole Stuhlweissenburg, a senior internation-al studies and economics major, would of-ten idle her car outside the Student Union.

When she saw students enter Furnas Lot, she would shark through the lot and stalk them to their car.

Sometimes shed be in luck, and the stu-dents would get in their car and drive away. Other times, shed be unlucky and realize the students were only going to their car to grab some textbooks.

One day, she spent 45 minutes searching for a parking spot and, unable to find park-ing in Cooke A, Cooke B, Fronczak B, Ja-cobs A, Jacobs B, Jacobs C and Baird B lots, she parked in the Special Events lot, which is a bit of a walk.

I use more of my gas trying to find park-ing than I do driving to campus, she said.

Shark or shuttle?UB has taken several steps to minimize

parking congestion, according to Wallace. Mainly the steps have focused on encourag-ing students to drive less, to use buses more and to maximize available space by parking on the periphery of campus in places like the Center for Tomorrow lot and in Ellicott.

The Stampede bus system trans-ports 15,000 students more than half of UBs population per day and con-nects students from peripheral parking lots to the core of the campus, Wallace said.

Students who drive to campus can take ad-vantage of UBs transportation by parking their car in underused lots such as the Main-Bailey lot on South Campus or the Center for Tomorrow lot on North Campus and taking the Stampede or a shuttle to class.

Park and ride is your first option, said Christopher Austin, assistant director of UB Parking and Transportation Services. It really eliminates the stress and the circling parking lots [and] minimizes the potential for accidents within the parking lots.

The Green Line, for example, takes peo-ple to the Flint Loop from the Center for Tomorrow lot and services about 206 stu-dents daily.

Carmen Falbo, a driver on the Green Line, said its a shame more students dont use the shuttle, but he also remembers a time when the North Campus Shuttle which now has 18 stops used to be much faster. There used to be two lines instead of just the North Campus line, which takes students across the whole campus.

If you get on the North Campus shut-tle, you could be on the bus for an hour, Falbo said.

And for students taking classes at the

Medical Campus or who live near down-town and dont want to drive to Amherst there is the Blue Line, which about 235 stu-dents use daily.

UB Parking created the Express Bus Pro-gram in 2009 to provide students from New Yorks major cities like New York City or Syracuse a way of returning home for breaks without having to bring cars to campus.

Students who live off campus have shuttle options, as most of the surrounding apart-ments have their own services. Stuhlweissenburg sick of spending 45 minutes searching for a spot takes the shuttle from University Village at Sweethome.

That was my breaking point, she said. I was like, I cant do this anymore.

She said using the shuttle costs her sleep and study time, but she still prefers using it to avoid parking on campus.

Busing from the outsideUB doesnt provide students with pass-

es to the NFTA system like many neigh-boring colleges such as SUNY Buffa-lo State, SUNY Erie Community College, Bryant & Stratton College and Canisius. Transportation officials say they want stu-

dents to be less reliant on their personal ve-hicles and more focused on ride shares and transit options, but isnt considering offer-ing the passes, Austin said.

NFTA has set up a College Riders Ac-cessing Metro (CRAM) Pass Program, which offers unlimited access to all Metro services.

Ellen Kongphet, a college administrative assistant at ECC, said the CRAM Pass is a great benefit to ECC students. ECC has 13,990 undergraduates just under 6,000 fewer than UB.

It does eliminate concerns and frus-trations [about parking], she said. [The CRAM Pass is] a product that sells itself.

Still, Kongphet said the spaces are limit-ed in ECCs student lots.

ECC students pay $70 each semester less than half of what UB students pay

for their transportation and safety services, including the CRAM Passes, an on-campus parking pass and shuttle that travels be-tween the colleges three campuses.

Kongphet said stu-dents use the CRAM Pass every day for in-ternships and jobs. The CRAM Pass helps ECC reach all demo-graphics, and some stu-dents come to ECC specifically because of the CRAM Pass pro-gram.

In 2011, UB experimented with the idea of offering NFTA Metro Rail passes to stu-dents.

Daniel Hess, associate professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Plan-ning, led the pilot program, conducted in partnership with NFTA, which gave 2,813 students and 310 faculty and staff mem-bers pre-paid Metro passes. Participants were able to access the NFTA Metro Rail for 20 months, making it different from the CRAM Passes, which include bus and rail services.

The passes cost UB just $10 for students and $30 for faculty. Despite the initial cost, UB ended up saving $62,000 because it cut the amount of trips the Blue Line made from downtown to South Campus in half.

UB was unable to reach an agreement with NFTA once the program ended.

Wallace said because only about 2,800 students participated in the 20-month pro-gram, out of a possible 3,000, a transit pass

program would only benefit a minor sub-section of the student population.

It would cost more than $1.4 million for UB to purchase transit passes for all of its

students, according to Austin.

Just looking at the math, most would say we need a deal other than what is being of-fered, Austin said.

But the Blue Line, which runs a similar route as the NFTA Metro Rail, costs

$8,000 per month to operate $96,000 a year, according to Austin.

Still, re-allocating spending isnt feasible, according to Wallace. She said the only fea-sible option would be for NFTA to offer an opt-in program where individual students can choose to purchase a transit pass.

A monthly Metro pass costs $75. Wallace said she has tried to get students a reduced price, but UB has not reached an agreement with NFTA.

Paria Negahdarikia, a graduate urban and regional planning student, said some inter-national students feel UBs parking policies cater to domestic students and neglect the needs of international students, who make up about 17 percent of UBs population.

Negahdarkia conducted research with Hess and found international students are likely to rely on the NFTA Metro Rail be-cause of the cost and because few of them have drivers licenses, cars or car insurance.

UB should collaborate with the NFTA to create a transit pass program to serve both domestic and international students, Negah-darikia said.

If UB is relying on its international stu-dent body as one of its strengths, then it should also provide services like transporta-tion services for them, she said.

A transit pass program would also reduce parking congestion and promote sustain-ability, according to Samuel Wells, a gradu-ate urban planning student.

If they want to be a leader in the region in promoting alternative forms of transpor-tation and being as green and as environ-mentally friendly as possible, I think this is a no-brainer, he said.

UBs landscape is dominated by a sea of parking lots, according to Wells. Provid-ing alternative forms of transportation such as access to a transit pass program will reduce the demand for parking and al-low UB to integrate more natural areas into the campuses, he said.

Green over grayLast semester, the Graduate Planning

Student Association (GPSA) participated in PARK(ing) Day and converted a parking spot on South Campus into a mini public park.

PARK(ing) Day began in San Francisco in 2005 and has evolved into a worldwide event where activists raise questions on how cities can develop public spaces to optimize urban living, according to the PARK(ing) Day website.

What if we could do that for a hundred spaces or a thousand spaces? Wells said. Would we come closer to the campus the uni-versity wants [and] to the campus we want?

UB built its most recently constructed lot two years ago Clark Lot, located near the pharmacy school on South Campus. Given the decrease in the demand for park-ing and the underuse of peripheral park-ing lots, UB does not plan on adding more parking in the near future, Wallace said.

Jarvis B is one of the student/fac-ulty combined lots on UBs North Campus. It has 155 parking spots, but by noon there are none left, according to UBs Parking and Transportation Services.

The five student-only lots, Governors E, Arena, Lake La Salle, Stadium and the Special Events lot, are located on the pe-riphery of North Campus. Faculty-only lots, however, are located closer to the Academic Spine. There are 8,400 faculty and staff members with parking hangtags and over 17,000 students have hangtags.

ASHLEY INKUMSAHASST. NEWS EDITOR

Contractors clad in respirators and

jumpsuits have set up shop on the third floor of the Oscar Silverman Library in Capen Hall for an asbestos removal proj-ect that wont conclude for another two months and will delay the start of the Heart of Campus renovations.

The asbestos removal, which began Wednesday, is not expected to conclude until June 5. Construction on the third floor of the Silverman Library, the first phase of the Heart of Campus project, was supposed to begin in April but will not begin until the asbestos has been re-moved, according to David Vasbinder, the associate director of environment health and safety.

People get very concerned when they hear asbestos, it can be dangerous if its not being handled properly, Vasbind-er said. If anyone thinks they may have been exposed to asbestos, our office is where they report it to.

The third floor has been closed for ren-ovations since December 16, 2014, with an expected completion date in Novem-ber 2015. Last year asbestos was found and removed in the floor tile mastic and joint compound on the first floor of Cap-en Hall.

UB Asbestos Program Coordinator Nancy Hutchison and project managers had a meeting with staff and faculty who work or have offices within the Silverman Library to give them information about what to expect and what is being done to protect them, and to answer any questions they had about a week and a half before the removal began.

The vinyl floor tiles of the Silverman Library were constructed with asbestos

back in 60s and 70s, according to Vas-binder. The glue that holds the tiles down and the drywall joint compound that is found between wallboards also contains asbestos.

Vasbinder said the university is able to ascertain where asbestos fibers are going to be found based on the age of a par-ticular building. Vasbinder said UB is re-quired to remove those materials prior to renovation.

New York State regulations require the university to post flyers 10 days prior to the start of asbestos removal. Vasbinder said another purpose of the postings is to make sure there no ones enters the third floor of the Silverman Library.

We are concerned they will get air-borne because they can cause various dis-eases when exposed, Vasbinder said.

Epic Contracting Inc. is currently con-ducting the abatement. Vasbinder said the contractors prevent the asbestos from getting airborne by building plastic sheet-ing and placing negative air pressure on it. This is a control method so that if something goes on inside abatement area the team makes sure it does not get inside containment area.

The team will be using high-efficien-cy particulate arrestance (HEPA) filters.

Vasbinder said if any asbestos fibers get airborne, the filter takes it out so it cannot get outside of the containment. The team will take air samples and make sure there are no asbestos fibers in the air fibers.

The federal process requires we put all these systems in place, Vasbinder said. We also have to monitor the air to make sure those methods are effective.

Watts Architecture and Engineering is currently handling the air monitoring for the project.

Vasbinder said the university is also re-quired to hire a third party unrelated to the contractor to make sure the contractor is following rules, observe work practices, make sure containment is good. Watts Ar-chitecture and Engineering will serve as the third party.


Construction will not begin until at least June as asbestos removal

takes place

Heart of Campus renovations halted by asbestos removal

Im also fascinated with the roster construc-tion at the moment. Currently, the Bulls have four seniors in outside hitter Megan Lipski, set-ter Marrisa Prinzbach and middle blockers Am-ber Hachett and Akelia Lain. After those four, everyone else has at least two more seasons of eligibility, but more importantly, some of them received valuable playing time as freshman.

Sophomores Niki Bozinoski and Tessa Ooya-ma both finished in the top five in total sets played and Junior Megan Lin was third. Soph-omores Cassie Shado and Skyler Day finished with 137 and 100 kills respectively. Four of those five players will have three seasons, includ-ing this season, of eligibility left. Lin has two more seasons.

Having that experience returning for Lipsitz is great for her first season as head coach. The se-niors will be able to start and provide leadership to the roster and the underclassman provide a talent group for Brown Lipsitz to lean on as well as build around while recruiting.

There are factors to worry about with this hire: Lipsitz is entering her first season as a head coach and even with assistants to help her, thats still a tough leap to make in your first season. Another is from Buffalos angle. This is the third coach hired in as many seasons. I would be re-mised if I didnt mention that. If Lipsitz has a good first year, she could draw the eye of com-petitors, looking to grab the next big thing to coach their school.

Overall, I think the Bulls made a great choice to run their program. Unfortunately, Im not ex-pecting much in the 2015 season, but 2016 and 2017 could set up to be great seasons. I think this will be a great season for Lipsitz to figure out what she likes and dislikes as a coach, who she has as key members of the program moving forward and just what she needs in order to turn this program around.

SOPHIA MCKEONESTAFF WRITER

About 18 people will die today waiting for an organ donation, based on a nation-al average provided by Upstate New York Transplant Services, or UNYTS. Karen Swierski, an adjunct professor of commu-nication at UB, and her class hope to low-er that number.

On Wednesday, Swierski and her ad-vanced public relations class, COM 453, held an event aimed at helping current and future patients waiting for organ dona-tions. Since 2009, UNYTS has sponsored an event hosted by Swierskis class to raise awareness about the need for organ and blood donors. This years event was called The Type is Right, inspired by the pop-ular television game show The Price is Right. Students in the class invited peo-ple to be contestants in the game but in or-der to win, the participants needed to learn something about being a donor.

Organ donation education is the first step toward making a difference, according to Swierski.

[The process] starts here on campus, she said. When students are educated [about organ donation] early on, they will go on and educate others.

The event included games like Plinko, balloon darts and a prize wheel. Ques-tions and information about donation were weaved within each of them.

There were refreshments for the students in attendance, as well as the opportunity to win door prizes and receive a free monster energy drink if you signed up to be a do-nor. At the event, 107 people signed up to become organ donors.

Last years awareness event resulted in al-

most 700 new donors. Over the seven years the class has held the aware-ness event, 2,500 people have signed up to be do-nors. The process is as easy as filling out a sim-ple enrollment form and sending it to UNYTS, Swierski said.

Approximately 74 or-gan transplants take place every day in the Unit-ed States, and on average 118 people are added to the nations organ transplant waiting list each day, one every 11 minutes, according to UN-YTS.

Swierski learned how important donors are first hand.

Her brother spent five years on dialysis while awaiting a kidney transplant. During this time, Swierski describes her brother as being a mess.

Three days a week [my brother] had to sit in a chair for four hours hooked up to dialysis; he was completely confined, Swi-erski said. Kidneys are supposed to pull the toxins out of your body, so being un-able to do that unless hooked up to dial-ysis, [my brother] was not doing well. He couldnt go anywhere.

One night, Swierski woke up to a call from her brother. He called because he needed a ride to the hospital the next day. After five years of waiting, he was going to get a kidney.

Since that late night phone call, Swierski said her brothers life has transformed.

[The kidney transplant] has given me my brother back, Swierski said. He has his energy back, his sense of humor, hes lost

weight and he has a new girlfriend. There is no greater gift.

Swierskis personal experience with organ donation has given her an increased appre-ciation for UNYTS and its partnership with the class.

Kristin Waldby, a junior sociology and communication major, is one of the many students who view the class as a great op-portunity.

While raising awareness of the need for organ donors, the class has given students the opportunity to set up a real public re-lations campaign. UNYTS gave the class a real budget to set up the event, and at the end of the semester they give the class a presentation on how they did and how they couldve improved, Waldby said.

UNYTS is really invested in raising awareness in the college demographic, Waldby said. Its almost taboo thinking about donating our organs at this age. We think, you know Im young, Im not dying anytime soon, why would I be an organ do-nor? Raising awareness helps to take away that taboo.

Swierski recalls being at a Sabres game and discovering the lady sitting by her was

involved in her brothers transplant process. The woman was an organ donor. Many or-gan donors are from families grieving their own past loved ones, she said. She was so excited to finally meet a recipient that the woman began to cry.

[The students in the class] are saving lives of real people, Swierski said. I often explain this to them using the example of throwing a pebble into the water and all the rings that are formed and go out into the water around it.

Organizing this awareness event was like throwing that pebble into the water and watching the rings in its wake spread all over the world, Swierski said.

UB could reduce parking congestion by building a parking garage, Conroy said. Its a request many students make, accord-ing to Austin. A parking garage would al-low the university to simultaneously pro-vide more parking and maintain its green space, Conroy said.

A parking garage, however, is not a fi-nancially feasible option, Wallace said. On average, parking spaces in a garage cost seven to eight times more to maintain than outdoor parking spaces, she said.

With over 1,100 open parking spaces on the North/South Campuses at our peak period of each day, designing and con-structing a parking ramp that costs in be-tween $18,000-$30,000 per space is not a reasonable alternative at this time, Austin said in an email.

Instead, Austin suggests students utilize the shuttle services from outlying park-ing areas, the Stampede, carpooling, Zip-car and Bikeshare.

Many students, like Adrian Figueroa, a junior international business major, resort to parking far from the Spine and walking to class.

Ive given up at this point, Figueroa

said. I just park in the Special Events lot because Jacobs is always packed and I dont have time to find parking. They should just open more spaces for students and com-muters.

While Austin and Wallace dont condone students sharking, many have no plans to stop and joke its like a UB right of pas-sage. Other students like the Conroy sisters may have to just keep playing the Parking Game.

James Battle contributed reporting to this story.

[ a WO R L D of O P P O R T U N I T Y ]

In two seasons as Buffalos head coach, Hurley amassed a 42-20 record, including two MAC East titles, one MAC Tourna-ment Championship and one NCAA Tour-nament appearance.

Carusone said he hopes Hurley plays against Buffalo in Alumni Arena so Buffa-lo can show its not a stepping stone any-more.

I dont want it to be a rsum builder, Carusone said. I want this place to be the best in the nation.

The Bulls are a member of the MAC, which is considered a Mid-Major. Arizona State is a member of the Pac-12, one of the Power Five conferences.

Arizona State fired Herb Sendek as its head coach on March 24. Sendek finished his Arizona State career with a 159-137 re-cord with two NCAA Tournament appear-ances and four National Invitational Tour-nament appearances during his tenure.

Last season, Arizona State went 18-16 overall, finished with a 9-9 record in the

Pac-12 and lost in the second round of the NIT. Over the last three seasons, Arizona State went 60-40 with a postseason tourna-ment appearance in all three years.

Multiple players have left the Bulls pre-maturely throughout Hurleys two seasons. Junior forward Jamir Hanner was removed from the team shortly before this season for a violation of team rules. Sophomore guard Deyshonee Much also left the team before this season and transferred to Iona in January. There were rumored reports this week that freshman guard Bobby Frasco will transfer from Buffalo.

Sophomore guard Mory Diane was ruled academically ineligible for this season after four games.

Despite Hurleys departure, Branco had positive things to say about Hurley as a coach.

He was more of a father figure. Its not like a regular coach; he kind of talks to us like hes one of us, Branco said. I say sometimes hes like a kid at heart. You can talk to him about anything, relationships, schoolwork. Hes a great down-to-earth guy.

Arizona State has scheduled a press con-ference to introduce Hurley for 10 a.m. Fri-day.


Although the Meninist Twitter account says it is a parody account and their tweets should not be taken seriously, its obvious that although it may have started as a joke, it soon brought a large following of people who, according to the comments, I can as-sume dont find it funny.

Instead, it appears to me that those who follow social media accounts created exclu-sively to demean a movement for equality, more often than not, agree with the sexist comments being posted.

Something that promotes equality has quickly been turned into a joke in our so-ciety. As women struggle to avoid being the punchline, men, and unfortunately many

women as well, continue to put down the feminist movement and those who believe in feminism.

Young girls are growing up in a genera-tion where access to information is sub-stantially easier than it was just a year pri-or. If they constantly see on the Internet that feminism, which is something to ben-efit their future, is negative, they may start to believe that and work against all of the rights feminists in the past worked to get.

As singer Kate Nash proudly puts it, feminism is not a dirty word. It does not mean you hate men, it does not mean you hate girls that have nice legs and a tan it means you believe in equality.

JORDAN GROSSMANSENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

Blair Brown Lipsitz is no stranger to win-ning volleyball games.

Lipsitz, a former standout player at Penn State from 2007-10, helped her team to four consecutive national championships and was named an All-American twice in her career. Now, she expects to view volleyball in a dif-ferent light from the sidelines for the first time ever as a head coach.

Lipsitz was named new head coach of the volleyball team Tuesday night. The two-time All-American and four-time national cham-pion will replace Reed Sunahara, who left the team on March 2 to assume the same position at West Virginia. Lipsitz has no pri-or coaching experience, but a decorated re-cord as a college player.

Lipsitz may not bring a national title to Buffalo after a 6-10 conference record last year, but she is excited to begin the rebuild-ing process of the team.

I think you bring a lot of the same ideas from Penn State to Buffalo, Lipsitz said. It all goes across the board. It doesnt matter if its the No. 1 team in the country or the No. 1 team in the MAC. Every coach is trying to do the same thing, and thats inspire their players to play the best that they can.

Lipsitz represents Athletics philoso-phy developing champions in the classroom and on the court, Athletic Director Danny White said in a release.

She grew up and played in a cham-pionship culture and winning is all she knows. We are confident that Blair can bring this culture to our volleyball program and lead us to the top of the Mid-American Conference, White said.

Lipsitz was Whites ninth hire since he took the job in 2012. All nine positions were filled with coaches that either experienced success in college or success at the college level. Four of the hires have won a national championship in their respective sports ei-ther as a player or a coach.

Lipsitz was already affiliated with the pro-

gram after her stint as a volunteer assis-tant coach. Although she was not official-ly a coach, she was given the opportunity to meet some of the players and understand how they play.

Lipsitz said she wasnt expecting to take over as head coach, but now that she is, shes happy she was able to begin grooming relationships and learn from Sunahara over the summer. She plans on integrating her techniques from Penn State with the Suna-haras methods.

Its good to have some stability with things they are already comfortable with, Lipsitz said. Theyre already comfortable with passing technique. There are some things you dont need to change because its working. Id like to just build on it.

Lipsitz led the Nittany Lions to four con-secutive national championships while a col-lege student. She was named First-Team All-American in 2009-10 and was named Second-Team All-American in 2008.

In 2010, Lipsitz was named the Big 10 Player of the Year and won the Honda Sports Award, which is awarded to the best player in each Division-I sport.

After college, Lipsitz played profession-ally for three years from 2011-13 in Italy, Puerto Rico and France before returning to the United States to continue work with the U.S. Elite Volleyball Camp.

Lipsitz co-founded the camp with her husband, Buffalo-native and three-time All-American, Max Lipsitz in 2011. The camp

expanded to over 340 campers as of 2013 and travels to various areas of the North-east United States.

I want to thank Danny White and every-body at UB for this tremendous opportu-nity, Lipsitz said in a press release. I am honored to be part of the womens volley-ball team and the entire athletic department and I am looking forward to bringing this program to the next level.

On Thursday morning, the team prac-ticed for the first time under Lipsitz since she was named the head coach. Many play-ers, including junior outside hitter Megan Lipski, were optimistic about the hiring and play style of Lipsitz.

Blair brings something different to the gym, Lipski said. I think everyone respond-ed really well to it. We worked hard and the intensity is great She came from a winning program so shes trying to integrate some of that into our practices. Slowly but surely.

One of the new drills she implemented was

a 6 vs. 3 drill. Six players were playing against three and the objective was for the team with three players to accumulate a certain amount of points before they were rotated.

Junior middle blocker Amber Hatchett was also excited about the energy and opti-mism around the gym.

I was really excited when she was named our coach, Hatchett said. Shes been around our practices a lot. She knows me and I know her. Weve been playing together for a little bit. I wasnt nervous at all. I was confident.

This isnt the first time Lipsitz will be working with the Bulls. Last summer, Lipsitz worked as a volunteer assistant on the team under Sunahara. She also was an analyst for ESPN3 and covered Bulls games last season.

Lipsitz arrived roughly five weeks after Sunahara departed. In between the coach-ing changes, Sunaharas assistant coaches ran spring practice until the new head coach took over the program.

This is the first head coaching position for Lipsitz. The former Penn State standout won her most recent national championship five years ago and now will be taking over a pro-gram that accumulated a 17-15 record and 6-10 in conference competition while los-ing one of the teams best players in Tahleia Bishop Sunahara would not disclose why Bishop did not play in several matches last season, including the Bulls MAC Tourna-ment loss. Bishop is no longer on the roster.

Lipsitz is excited for the challenge. One of the main reasons she took the job was to be part of the rebuilding process for the program.

Im excited, Lipsitz said. I think its a great time in UB Athletics to be getting unto coaching. Very exciting things are hap-pening at this point. Im happy to be here building in the very beginning stages.

The All-American won her last national title as recent as five years ago. Penn State was, and still is, considered a volleyball pow-erhouse in college athletics. Lipsitz under-stands the difference between Buffalo and Penn State, but she said her experience in State College will only help the experience with the Bulls.

Lipsitz has not named any assistant coaches yet and will be determined in the near future.email: [email protected]

Blair Brown Lipsitz, a former standout volleyball player from Penn State, was named the next Bulls volleyball head coach, succeeding Reed Sunahara, who left the team for West Virginia last month. Brown Lipsitz accumulated four national championships and two All-American nods from 2007-10.

SPORTS DESK

On Tuesday night, UB Athletics an-nounced the signing of Blair Brown Lip-sitz as the new head coach of the volleyball team - succeeding recently departed head coach Reed Sunahara.

The move to find a new coach was evi-dent once Sunahara left, but Athletic Direc-tor Danny White has kept a constant trend of his hires in the past two years former college athletes that excelled in their respec-tive sports.

Lipsitz is no exception. The head coach was a four-time national champion at Penn State, where she also claimed All-American hon-ors twice in her career. She brings youth and a plethora of knowledge from State College, but will also be a learning experience for her as Buffalo is her first head-coaching job. Will her inexperience as a coach be noticed, or will she be able to transition from a star on the court to a star on the sidelines?

Jordan Grossman, Senior Sports EditorEven though the team has gone through

one spring practice so far under Lipsitz, it

seemed there was more optimism than there ever was during the Reed Sunahara era.

I dont know the dynamic between the team and Sunahara, but it looks like the team is optimistic to begin its run with the former All-American. And for good reason, too. Lipsitz comes in with an impressive re-sume from Penn State and said she plans on using techniques from both the Buffalo and Penn State programs to make the transition between coaches easier.

Its hard to expect to predict the success of the team before the season begins, espe-cially when the roster is not solidified and not all of the players have played in a Bulls uniform. There is a wealth of inexperience on the team, which might be the teams Achilles heel for what should be a ground-breaking year for the program.

Lipsitz brings so much talent and skills, but what concerns me is her experience. Not all great players become great coaches. Robin Ventura of the Chicago White Sox finished with a subpar record in his first season. Der-ek Fisher, who is in the middle of his first sea-son with the New York Knicks, has underper-formed as a head coach as well.

Its easier said than done to transition from a player to a coach. As a player, its all based on talent surrounding the game plan that the coach draws up. In this situation, Lipsitz is now the ones calling the plays. What may have worked for her in Penn State may not work in Buffalo.

But its still exciting times in Buffalo. Lip-sitz even said herself it is a great time in UB Athletics because of the initiative to make the school a big-time brand. Lipsitz enters the program with four expected seniors and everyone else with at least two years of eli-gibility.

There is a lot of potential for the team in the future, but its so difficult to determine the teams success next season. This is their third coach in as many seasons. Consistency in the program lies as a downfall. The team could be good, but it is so hard to determine how well they play together with so many dif-ferent voices at the helm of the team.

Lipsitz could be the answer, but not in her first year of coaching. There are too many variables that point to a down season next year. But after next year will be differ-ent. With a coach in her second year and a lot of upperclassmen leadership, the volley-ball team could be poised as one of the best in the Mid-American Conference.

The program needs time. And when its time, Buffalo volleyball could be a danger-ous variable in the MAC.

Quentin Haynes, Sports Editor Blair Brown Lipsitzs hire is a great one

for Buffalo.

The move sets precedence to the posi-tion. This is the second time in consecutive seasons that Danny White has hired a for-mer college volleyball star from a top pro-gram to take over the position. Unlike Suna-hara, Lipsitz doesnt have any experience as a head coach, but has experience as an assis-tant and she even served as a summer assis-tant under Sunahara last season.

Lipsitz also has the ability to connect and grow with the players. Shes a younger vol-leyball coach at just 28 years old and has been on some of the biggest stages wom-ens volleyball has to offer. Similar to Suna-hara, that experience comes with a level of respect but unlike Sunahara, Brown Lipsitz can connect more with her team, thanks to her gentle and likable personality.

For starters, Im curious to see how this helps Buffalo in recruiting. They essential-ly didnt lose ground in that department as Lipsitzs resume mirrors Sunaharas. Being able to sell yourself as one of the greatest womens volleyball players in recent memo-ry and to sell a program that can give players playing time right away like Buffalo should only result in success on the recruiting trail.
