UAlbany adjuncts rally for awareness

On International Worker’s Day,
which falls on May Day (May 1)
each year, University at Albany
faculty gathered outside the

ness about the

Students from a physical com-
puting class in the informatics
department demonstrated their
final projects at the CCI show-
case held in the Campus Center
Ballroom last Wednesday, April
29. The theme for the project was
accessibility and disability. Some
of the students designed custom-
made prosthetic hands, made

with 3-D printing technology as
part of the e-NABLE project.
Students donated four hands
with the e-NABLE project last
semester. The project is an open
source online community that
has designs available to 3-D print
prosthetic hands.

SA passes budget as
year comes to a close

By KASSIE PARISI
Incoming Editor-in-Chief

As the year draws to a close, so
do some of the workings of the
Student Association.

At its meeting on April 23 at
1:03 a.m., SA passed their budget
for the 2015-2016 school year. It
also delivered news about Dip-
pikill, the SA-owned wilderness
retreat, at the meeting.

A New Arrival at Dippikill

Dippikill is a private wilderness
retreat owned by the Student As-
sociation. The site is only open
to students, alumni, and affili-
ates of the University at Albany.
Dippikill has approximately 863
acres of land, with nine rentable
buildings present on the camp-
site. It is also home to a 20-acre
pond and an ice-skating rink. The
newest addition to the Dippikill
campsite, called Julie’s Lodge,
will be 4,000 square feet, and has
a hopeful 2016 completion date.
Unlike the other cabins on the
site, which only have outhouses,
Julie’s Lodge will have an indoor
plumbing system.

Programming

The Programming Depart-
ment’s 2015-2016 budget stands
at $459,000. $290,000 was al-
located to concerts, $150,000 to
Speaker Series, and $10,000 will
go toward the annual SA Block
Party. $4,000 was added to the
department for senior portraits
and $5,000 will go toward
smaller events that the depart-
ment hosts throughout the year.

Senator Stipends

There was a lengthy discussion
regarding the implementation of
senator stipends during the bud-
get meeting. Sen. Beroro Efekoro
said too much money is going
to stipends for e-board members
and department directors. He
argued that senators, who commit
large amounts of time to SA,

deserve stipends as well.

Senate Vice-Chair Stanley
De La Cruz pointed out that
the stipends currently in place
for UAlbany’s SA are far lower
than the stipends received by
student government officials at
other schools. Chief Justice Nick
Butler added that the current
stipends are too low to reflect the
countless hours that department
directors commit to SA.

Efekoro motioned to give
senators a $100 stipend, which
would add $9,400 to the stipend
line, but the motion failed in a
vote. However, $800 was added
to the stipend line for the senate
secretary.

The total stipend line for
the 2015-2016 school year is
$47,150.

Men’s Rugby

During the initial budget meet-
ing, the Men’s Rugby team was
removed from the budget. This
was due to the fact that the team
was not eligible to be included in
the budget since the team had no
money in its account. To rectify
this, the rugby team needed to
return to SA to ask for funding.
When the team returned to SA
during the second budget meet-
ing, SA added $1 to the rugby
account, thus making the team
eligible to be included in the
budget. The rugby budget was
reinstated and currently stands at
$11,145.

Appropriations

There is a total of $85,000 in
the Appropriations Line for the
2015-2016 school year. The Ap-
propriations Line contains funds
that SA can distribute to student
groups.

New Leadership

On Wednesday, April 29, Jarius
Jemmott was sworn in as the new
SA president, and Kevin Murphy
was sworn in as vice president.

Students’ health drink
startup continues to grow

By Nick MUSCAVAGE

Luke Evans and Marc Iskan-
dar, the two young entrepreneurs
of the super-food health drink
ChugaChaga, recently placed
first in the Capital Region semi-
finals of the New York Business
Plan Competition (NYBPC),
winning a 3-foot-tall trophy.

Evans (CEO and CFO) and
Iskandar (president), along with
Adam Kaiser, head of marketing
and sales, received a bronze cup-
shaped trophy while standing in

tracks were information technol-

Some of the other business.
pitches came from sustainabil-
ity company LuxOrion, ACV
Metrology, and a bioseed engi-
neering program out of Cornell
University called UMA Bioseed,
which placed first overall in the
competition. The Cornell Uni-

market,” Iskandar said.

Evans and Iskandar have been
working closely throughout the
year with Bill Brigham, director
of UAlbany’s School of Busi-
ness. They were also enrolled in
the Small Enterprise Economic
Development (SEED) program.
The SEED program, hosted
by the School of Business and
SEFCU, consists of a few small
business entrepreneurs who go
over business plans in classes
every Monday.

Other companies in the pro-
gram include a grocery and mis-
cellaneous delivery service and a
medical supply transport service
for Veterans Affairs that only em-
ploys veterans. Evans explained

The founders of ChugaChaga came in third in the final round of the Capital

ChugaChaga’s pitch changed
from the semifinal round to the
final round, Iskandar
addressed the issue of
ability in chaga, a super-food
mushroom that grows on birch
trees, and said through their
calculations there is an estimated
1.3 billion pounds of chaga on
the planet.

“We reiterated the point that
that gives us more than enough
potential for the next three years

ChugaChaga also
won the Patashnick
Entrepreneurship
Challenge sum-
mer stipend. Har-
vey Patashnick is a
UAlbany alum who
conducted ground-
breaking research in
particle measuring.
He has since started
up a company that
was sold off toa
Fortune 500 com-
pany and then set
up an organization
awarding stipends to
small companies for
summer research. The
stipend has yet to be disclosed.

ChugaChaga also has a
gofundme.com page to raise
money.

The plan from there, Evans
said, is to begin production.
They’ve already contracted a
company based in Albany to
produce the glass bottles for the
beverages, as well as a produc-
tion and co-packing company
based in Wayne, N.J. to bottle the
drink.

Tf all goes according to plan,
the entrepreneurial duo of
ChugaChaga is looking to begin
bottling in June or July of 2015.

OPiNIONsS

... Four years later

By MICHELLE CHECCHI
Outgoing Editor-in-Chief
asp_online@ hotmail.com

Last week, I talked to my 18-year-old brother on
the phone. He joined the Army right out of high
school, and he’s currently based in Texas. So un-
fortunately, he won’t be able to make it to Albany
to see me walk the stage at graduation.

As I’m talking to him about just how fast the past
four years have gone, he asks me a question so
straightforward and innocent that I couldn’t contain
my laughter.

“Was it fun?” he asked me. I could hear him grin-
ning over the phone.

My teenage brother hasn’t been to college and
can’t even legally have a beer, but the guy wakes
up at 4:30 a.m. every day and shoots army-grade
weapons. For him, hearing about the fun is very
important.

One of my mentors told me to make this editorial
count. So I think that’s what I’d like to write about:
making it count.

Sunday evenings at 12 a.m., while most of my
peers (and fellow humans in general) were toeing
around their homes or dorms in pajamas, I was
padding around the third floor of Campus Center,
oftentimes also in my socks.

After working on the newspaper for a few hours,
Td usually take a break to walk around the halls,
which were ghostly quiet at that time of night. ’'d
pace back and forth and stare out the windows at
the colored lights going through their cyclical pat-

year. Or even next month, or next week.

Well, for myself and the other members of the
2015 graduating class, we’re down to our last
handfuls of tomorrows to make it count.

But, luckily for us, that’s just for this chapter.

So I'd like to remind myself, and the other mem-
bers of the 2015 graduating class, that, as we go

forward down these different wayward roads, we
really do have to remember to make it count.

At events like your college graduation, you get
slapped in the face with a reminder of how quickly
“it” goes. It’s life giving you a wake up call, paging
the building and seeing if you’re home.

I’m lucky enough to have the medium of the ASP
to write a final collegiate manifesto. After the last
four years of work I’ve put into the paper, it’s one
of the few physical things I’ve gotten in return, in
this mostly thankless endeavor.

I'd like to thank my colleagues on the paper for
working with me (otherwise known as “dealing
with me”) for the past four years, and for allowing
me to lead them for the past 12 months.

I'd like to thank all of the friends and mentors
I met along the way, for shaping (for better or for
worse) who I’ve become over the course of the
past four y:

Ninety-nine years ago, when the Albany Student
Press was in it’s first year of existence, the world
was a very different place. The ASP is older than
you or I, and has carried the precursors to thou-
sands of adult lives in its pages.

Congratulations to my fellow graduates. To quote
Elle Woods: “We did it!”

terns in the fountain.
Sunday nights the campus is

very quiet.

And yes, to answer your question David - it was

fun.

It’s hard to look back on the past four years and

sum it up in a few hundred words, but I like to

think that I made it count. I think that this can often

be the biggest challenge, in so many aspects of life.
When you know you have another year or two of

college left, it doesn’t matter if you take advantage

of an opportunity, because you always have next

But often, in the world’s most crowded streets,

How we can solve a
problem like war

By Kevin MERCADO
Opinions Editor
opinions .asp@ gmail.com

The United States has been
in war 222 years out of 239
years since 1776. It is also the
only country to develop nuclear
weapons and actually use it dur-
ing war, with the bombings of
Japanese cities Hiroshima and
Nagasaki during World War II.

“Today we urgently need a
new, more fundamental approach
to peace that can neutralize the

commit these foul crimes can-
not think that it is okay. I agree
that something needs to be done
about that. But I also think ap-
proaching situations with nuclear
and armed weapons will most
likely not make these situations
any better.

Enough is enough. This coun-
try has seen far more times of
war than peace and we do not
seem to be getting anywhere.
There needs to be another solu-
tion.

An act as simple as commu-

times, especially when tensions
rise.”

Every individual and every
country need to come together to
realize that war does more harm
than good. War kills thousands,
if not millions, of people and
causes trauma for the families
of those whose lives are lost in
war, as well as the soldiers who
return home. The cities that have
seen war have been devastated.
The economy suffers immensely
after dealing with the costly
effects of war. These effects put

very basis of terrorism and war,”
John Hagelin, president of the
Global Union of Scientists for
Peace.

This country’s fundamentals
seem to lie in the act of retalia-
tion and sticking its nose where
it does not belong. The United
States knows that it is a lead-
ing country in the world and a
superpower. It seems that it uses
(and even abuses) the power it
has by trying to be the mediator
for other countries whose phi-
losophies do not align with those
of the United States, or coun-
tries that seem to need the most
assistance, whether or not they
actually do.

I was recently told that some-
times war is necessary, that
sometimes when someone or
some country is committing a
terrorist crime, it is necessary to
take action. I was told, “we can’t
just stand by and let that hap-
pen.”

I completely agree. I agree that
people who think it is okay to

nication could be the difference
between war and peace. It might
help to see why terrorist coun-
tries are acting the way they

are, to find out what has pushed
them to do the things they did or
plan to do. More communication
could help solve the problem.

T realize that this cannot hap-
pen overnight, but if the United
State starts to open up these con-
versations, it will be introduced
to a worldview that was once

unfamiliar.

Perhaps the answer lies in gath-
ering people who believe in the
same ideas for peace. A petition
could be made, peaceful protests
could be conducted (not like the

riots that have occurred recently),

and awareness could be spread
for those who do not realize that
there are other alternatives to
conflict resolutions rather than
enacting war.

The Guardian writer, Brian
Lehrer, wrote, “To end war, just
advocate for the unacceptability
of war. In all countries, at all

society, American or otherwise,
in turmoil when dealing with the
deficits, economic and emotional,
people have to deal with on the
home front.

Tf countries could utilize the
power of words over the power
of weapons, then war wouldn’t
have to be an option. It is terrify-
ing to think of what a war here
in America would look like and
if the United States is not careful
enough, war will come home.

It is not fair to put everyone in
a country through a living hell
and tell them that it is for the
greater good. It would be the
greatest good to find peaceful
alternatives to solving problems
across different nations.

And to the guy who told me
that sometimes we need war, I
don’t think war is ever the an-
swer. I think we all need to open
ourselves up to the idea that we
could all live in peace.

The sky is the limit

My mother always told me to
reach for the sky and never let
anything hold me down. She
always encouraged me to fol-
low my dreams and be the best
person that I can be. She pro-
vided guidance whenever I was
lost or scared. She provided love
whenever I yearned for affection.
She provided hope whenever I
lost mine and was too weak to
believe in myself.

And now, a year and seven
months after her passing, I still
cling on to every word she has
instilled in me as I get ready to
embark on this new chapter of
my life as a college graduate.

My childhood was filled with
happy memories of my mother
and myself. I remember when
I was 3 years old, and we had
just moved into our new house
on Long Island and she and my
father worked endlessly to turn
an empty nest into our home.

My mother bought silk curtains
from the flea market and put
them on the windows. She also
got a porcelain white china dish
set and put the dishes into the
new armoire in the dining room.
I think she felt accomplished
because she was able to buy her
first home on the island so that
her family could have a better
life. I remember her going to
work at the hospital every night
and coming back early in the
mornings to help my brother and
I get ready for pre-school.

My mother encouraged me to
be an avid reader and writer at
an early age. She took me to the
local library, where I got my first
library card when I was 5 years
old. It was then that my love
affair with books and reading
began to grow. I must have read
a thousand books throughout my
youth. I got lost in the stories of
“Harry Potter,” “Clifford the Big
Red Dog,” “An American Girl,”
“Sweet Valley Kids,” “The Baby
Sitters Club,” “Flowers in the At-
tic.” “Matilda,” “June B. Jones”
and countless more. Every day
after school, my mother would

take me to the library and drop
me off at the kids’ section, while
she went downstairs to study

for exams to earn her master’s
degree in nursing. Through her,
T learned that education is the
ultimate tool toward success.

My mother gave me my very
first journal when I was 10 years
old. It was a blue and yellow
hardcover notebook with pictures
of stilettos on it and a gold brass
lock. She told me to write to my
heart’s content, and so I did.

I wrote about my awkwardness
in school and how the other kids
were bullying me in my class for
being “different.” I wrote about
how alone I felt because my
brother was autistic and couldn’t
talk to me the way other siblings
could. I talked about how diffi-
cult it was to be a kid growing up
with two strict Nigerian parents.
I think my mother sensed that I
had a rough time articulating my
thoughts into words, and thought
that the best thing for me to do to
process my emotions was write
them down.

My mother also taught me how
to ride a bicycle. I laugh at this
memory now because we were
fighting that day. I did not want
to learn how to ride because I
was too afraid of falling. Because
of my fear, I couldn’t play with
other kids in the neighborhood.
All the kids had these cool bi-
cycles and all I had was my pink
and purple tricycle.

My mother, in her tenacious
fashion, dragged my tricycle and
me to the park and took off the
training wheels. She urged me
to hop on the bike, and when I
said no, she carried my behind
and plopped me on the bike and
started pushing me. Reluctantly,
I start pedaling. She told me she
was going to let go, and when
she did, I fell to the ground and
scraped my knee. I looked at her
and start whimpering, but she
told me to wipe my tears and try
again. I got back up, got on my
bike, she pushed, and again I fell.
The cycle continued well into the
evening and even when I wanted
to go home, she refused.

“We're not going home until
you learn how to ride that bike.”

And I did learn after a while.
When my mom finally let go of
me and I was riding my bike into
the sunset, I felt so proud and
accomplished. And I know my
mom did, too.

It’s funny because I never ap-
preciated the love I had for my
mother until she died. As I grew
into a teenager, our relationship
got strained. It was one of those
instances where, as a bratty teen-
ager, you think that you hold all
the answers and that your mom’s
sole existence is to ruin your
life. In retrospect, I think I was
so foolish to not fully listen to
my mother when she would give
advice on boys, clothes, educa-
tion, and life as a black woman.
It’s only now that I’m in my 20s
that I finally begin to realize that
my mother’s wisdom is the truth
that I needed to hear.

My mother taught me so much.
She taught me to how to love and
nurture my family. She taught me
how to be inquisitive, to speak
my mind, and to always have a
thirst for knowledge. She taught
me how to love myself and treat
myself like the queen I am. She
taught me how to be indepen-
dent and not rely on a man or
anyone else to take care of me.
She taught me how to be strong,
even when adversity is thrown
my way and I don’t know how to
deal with it. And most impor-
tantly, she taught me to be myself
and to love my individuality.

Tam 23 years old and my
mother is no longer here with
me. But I know that she would
want me to be happy and to live
my life to the fullest.

Tam 23 years old and I am
about to graduate from college.
Thave my whole life ahead of
me and even though my mother
is not here with me anymore, I
will never forget the memories
that we shared together. Thi:
the time to celebrate not only
my accomplishments as a young
woman, but also the life that al-
lowed me to get this far.

From Liverpool to Albany
The Wombats play a sold out show at The Hollow

By Juuia Day “So I’m moving to New York cause

Arts & Entertainment Editor T’ve got problems with my sleep,
artsent.asp@ gmail.com looks like Christmas came early,

Christmas came early for me,” lead
vocalist Matthew Murphy belts into the microphone.

Christmas certainly came early for fans of The Wombats, who
“moved to New York” while stopping on their tour to rock down-
town Albany.

The Wombats, an English indie rock band originating from
Liverpool, played to a sold out crowd this past weekend at The
Hollow Bar + Kitchen on Friday, May | to promote their new album,
“Glitterbug.” Albany is one of many stops for the band on their inter-
national tour, playing in the United States, Canada, Australia, and all
over Europe.

The Wombats formed in 2003 at the Liverpool Institute of
Performing Arts, where band members Matthew Murphy, Dan
Haggis, and Tord Overland Knudsen all met. During the first years
of their formation the band released a number of EPs, as well as an
album titled “Girls, Boys and Marsupials,” exclusively in Japan.

The band released their album “A Guide to Love, Loss, and
Desperation,” in 2007 to successful reviews, reaching number 11 on
the UK Albums Chart. This was followed by “This Modern Glitch,”
in 2011 moving up to number three on the UK Albums Chart.

After four years, their long anticipated album “Glitterbug,” was
released on April 13, 2015. With three new hit singles “Your Body
is a Weapon,” “Greek Tragedy,” and “Give Me a Try,” The Wombats
are back bigger than ever.

“They say your first album is luck, your s
your third is what defines you,” Murphy said in a press release. “As
proud as I am of the first two albums, I think Glitterbug will be what
defines The Wombats.”

The line was out the door as eager fans waited to enter The Hollow
in downtown Albany. As concert goers began trickling into the small,
intimate venue, Pennsylvania indie pop band Cheerleader gave an

econd is a rebellion and

energetic opening act. Having formed in 2012, the band will be
releasing their debut album later this year titled “Sunshine of Your
Youth.” Cheerleader played songs from their EP “On Your Side,” as
well as material from their new album.

Cheerleader proved themselves to be an entertaining opening act.
“Sunshine of Your Youth” was the song that stood out the most, with
a catchy guitar intro that’s bound to stick in your head. Their act
showcased the band’s talent and future potential as they continue to
tour the United States with The Wombats.

Northeast radio station WEQX 102.7, affectionately known as
“The Real Alternative,” had one of their jockeys at the event. As
the stage was being prepped in between acts, WEQX jockey Keller
thanked both Cheerleader and The Wombats for coming to play in
Albany.

The intimate venue was packed to capacity as fans waited for The
Wombats to take the stage. The Hollow, although small, provided a
clear view of the stage from whichever vantage point concert goers
stood.

As the lights dimmed and The Wombats took the stage, the crowd
went wild. The band immediately started off the set with one of their
latest singles from “Glitterbug,” “Your Body is a Weapon.” The
enthusiasm for the band’s new material was apparent as fans clapped
and danced along to the first song.

The Wombats went on to play a fresh mix of songs both old and
new from all three albums, including fan favorites “Moving to New
York,” “Jump Into the Fog,” “Kill the Director,” “Headspace,” and
others. The band truly gave an amazing performance, with some
songs sounding better live than they do recorded. During one of their
slower renditions “Little Miss Pipedream,” Murphy’s headlining
voice mixed with background vocals from Haggis and Knudsen gave
a soothing dreamlike lull that will never have the same effect on the
album as it does live.

In between songs, The Wombats’ humorous interjections and on
stage banter gave a true look into the band members’ likable person-
alities.

“That actually wasn’t that bad,” joked drummer Dan Haggis after
a song.

During more banter, Murphy went on to start talking about the
television phenomenon, “Breaking Bad.”
anyone in this room know someone who doesn’t like
‘Breaking Bad?’ Because I don’t think they exist,” said Murphy.

The band members went on to discuss doing something “weird”
for their fans, which then led Murphy to carry his microphone down
into the audience as they sang their next song. Fans eagerly took
out their phones to record Murphy as he sung among the crowd
members.

The Wombats made constant references to their merchandise
seller named Grossman, standing at the merchandise table not far
from the stage. The band members alerted the audience that it was
Grossman’s birthday, rousing them to sing him happy birthday to
which they happily complied.

Ending their set with the synth-heavy “Tokyo (Vampires and
Wolves).” the audience cried out for an encore. The Wombats went

and finally the song the audience had all been waiting for “Let’s

Dance to Joy Division.” This fan favorite sent the audience bouncing
off their feet and into the air, dancing their pants off. There was defi-
nitely no better way to have ended the night.

The Wombats not only gave a stellar performance, but also put on
an interactive and exciting audience experience.

“The Wombats did not waste a single moment on stage to share
their unique energy with the audience,” said University at Albany
student Sarah Sabin. “In between songs they engaged in good-
humored banter between the crowd as if talking to a group of old
friends.”

With fresh material from “Glitterbug” along with classics from
previous albums, there is no doubt that their success will continue to
grow. The Wombats gave an outstanding performance in Albany this
past weekend, satisfying fans both old and new.

Comedian Brian Regan coming to the Palace Theatre

On Friday May 8,
renowned stand-up
comedian Brian
Regan will be
performing at the Palace Theatre in Albany.

Regan has had many notable accomplishments
over the span of his 20 year career, including
selling out the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver
and performing on “The Late Show” with David
Letterman 27 times.

“Some people like to describe my comedy as
observational, but I don’t like to give it a category,”
Regan said in a phone interview.

Regan has been doing stand-up comedy since
he was in college. His interest started when he
was in a public speaking trying to make his
presentations entertaining and funny. It was at that
point he decided he no longer wanted to be an
accounting major.

“Tt wasn’t until I made people laugh in class that
T realized that this was something I wanted to do,”
Regan said.

Regan has performed in Albany several times
during his career, including shows at The Egg and
the Palace Theatre. Regan enjoys performing in
the Albany area because his mother is an alumni of
The College of Saint Rose.

“Performing in Albany is always fun because it’s
cool to think that my mother spent a good portion

By JAMES KING
Staff Writer
artsent.asp@ gmail.com

of her life here,” he said. “I’ve never taken a tour of

Saint Rose, but I have driven passed the campus.”
One of Regan’s favorite parts of being a stand-up
comedian is that he gets to see different parts of the
world.
“As much as I like to perform in cities, it’s
always fun to perform in a place like Albany or
other smaller venues because it’s cool to see the

country,” he said.
Before performing at the Palace Theatre this
week, Brian Regan will be performing for the 28th

jokes and s

time on “The Late Show” with David Letterman.
His first time performing on the show was 20 years
ago in 1995. Letterman has always been a huge fan
of Brian Regan. Outside of stand-up comedy, Brian
Regan was recently in the movie “Top 5” with
Chris Rock.

Brian Regan has seen many changes in stand-up
comedy over his illustrious career. Regan feels that
these changes in comedy won’t effect the success
of stand-up comedians.

“T don’t think it’s easier or harder to be coming
up in comedy now, st different,” he said.
“When I was first coming up in comedy being on
late night television was making it. Now there are
podcast and YouTube.”

Like many comedians, Regan views George
Carlin as a huge inspiration. One of the things he
likes most about Carlin is his respect of the craft.

“George Carlin reached the level of celebrity
when he didn’t have to perform stand-up on late
night, he could have just done an interview, but
he insisted on performing because he loved to do
stand-up,” Regan said.

This same determination and love of the craft
shows up in Regan, who is constantly coming up
with new material for his audiences.

“T would never like to do a show of my greatest
hits,” he said. “People will only come to see that
two, maybe three times. I like to keep writing new
ing how they work with an audience.”

Regan is a workhorse in stand-up comedy, and
while he may not have the name recognition that
some big comedians have, he has the respect of his
peers and a committed fan base.

Brian Regan has been performing stand-up comedy for 20 years.

“Avengers: Age of Ultron” takes reality
into its own hands

By ANTHONY DOMINGUEZ
ssistant A&E Editor
artsent.asp@ gmail.com

up to their 2012 mega-hit “The Avengers” by way of offering sneak-
peeks to a much bigger film through smaller pieces in their narrative.

For fans of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, “The Avengers” was
more than just the latest superhero film amongst the never-ending
wave the genre seems to offer as of late. “The Avengers” was both
literally and figuratively an amalgamation of everything that came
before it within the MCU. Characters from a collective of films
shared the big screen together and in doing so, Marvel kept fans
happy by offering what entertainment spectacles do best—the depic-
tion of unparalleled destruction.

The final set piece in “The Avengers” saw downtown Manhattan
obliterated on a myriad of levels. Images of overturned cars, giant
craters in pavement, average citizens cowering in fear for their lives,
and entire buildings being brought down dominated the screen in a
manner that eerily recalled America’s own anxiety after the Sept. 11,
2001 attacks.

Yet this depiction of destruction that recalls our own reality is
made alright by way of being fantastical. Colorful, costumed super-
heroes zip through the air and run through the streets, battling the
forces of evil from space and beyond. The sheer absurdity of the
battle brings “The Avengers” back to the realm of fictitious cinema,
thereby removing the anxiety behind the film’s realistic and destruc-
tive images.

With the release of “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” however, Marvel
has needed to create a film which is not only a bigger spectacle
than “The Avengers” but also its film competitors in the super-hero
genre, namely DC, who released “Man of Steel” in 2013, which also
featured citywide mass destruction. “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is
slowly reaching a limit where images meant to entertain and enthrall
become disturbing.

Joss Whedon returns as director and writer and wastes no time
in jumping straight into the action. The movie begins with a battle
between the superhero group and Hydra, the terrorist organization
from the “Captain America” films. There’s hardly anything new here
that hasn’t been seen already. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”
enhanced its action by way of camera movement, a technique that’s
unfortunately absent in “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

Choreography becomes repetitive, with the only refreshing aspect
being the quips between members of the group, which successfully
keeps the tone between action and comedy that Marvel’s films have
established for themselves. The camera movement that is present

The cast of the Avengers lines up for battle.

during these action scenes are jerky due to the constant jumping
Whedon uses to showcase everyone, creating a sense of nausea that
is further fueled by the literal twists and turns of the actors’ bodies.

Two new characters are introduced in the midst of the action,
Pietro Maximoff, (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and his twin sister Wanda
Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). Pietro possess the power of super-speed
while Wanda can use hypnosis and telekinesis. Wanda kicks off the
plot of the film by hypnotizing Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) into
seeing an apocalyptic vision where the Avengers have all died and
the Earth has succumbed to an alien invasion. Once the battle ends,
the twins have disappeared and the Avengers have become success-
ful in retrieving Loki’s scepter from the Hydra base.

Later in secret, Tony Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo)
use Loki’s scepter to create the artificial intelligence Ultron, the
film’s villain. Fueled by his fear, Stark wishes to create a being who
would be able to preemptively defeat the Earth’s enemies.

“Avengers: Age of Ultron” attains a level of reflexivity where
reality is made cinematic and fictional but in doing so foregoes the
effects that such images and narratives contain at the cost of cheap

entertainment. As a franchise dedicated to breaking the billion dollar
mark, every new film raises the stakes and the mayhem that comes
along with it.

Reprieves between the action pieces offer relief for both the
Avengers and audiences, but ultimately showcase Whedon’s inability
to evolve as both a writer and a director.

At the end of the day the superheroes have to band together
because they’re the only ones who can save the world, but oddly
enough are the same ones who thrust it into chaos. As if aware of
being stuck within a repetitive narrative, Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner)
comments on his want to not be mind-controlled by Wanda as he’s
“already done it once.”

The film is never truly over. Even when the action is done, we are
given hints to future films within the franchise, be they the inevitable
sequel or smaller films that will follow along. Money is at stake here
and if more destruction is what brings in audiences, then it’s diffi-
cult to conceive where the franchise will go with “Avengers: Age of
Ultron” destroying one city and leveling another.

Netflix vs. Hulu vs. Yahoo Screen
Inconsistencies of online streaming

Metal band Sworn In
pushes new boundaries

In a culture of
binge watching, the
release schedules
for some of Yahoo
Screen and Hulu’s shows seem simply archaic.

Netflix, the leading proponent of the binge-
watching model and a major online content provid-
er, uploads all the episodes of each new season of
a show at once, including its own original content.
This mass release of episodes of original content
allows a person to watch the show at his or her
own pace and does not force weekly timed viewer
ratings, like regular television does.

The Netflix model is a sharp contrast to the Hulu
model. Hulu mainly focuses on providing new epi-
sodes of network shows to the Internet in the one
episode per week style of television, while provid-
ing a few original shows and shows branded as
originals that are joint efforts with networks, with
a few notable exceptions. Three of Hulu’s original
shows, “Deadbeat,” “The Wrong Mans,” and “The
Hotwives of Orlando” actually have been released
using the binge-watching model. This may rep-
resent an attempt at consistency with respect to
new episodes of original content across providers.
However, this just leads to a lack of consistency
within the service for how new original episodes
are released.

The inherent fear with Netflix’s model is
that the show will not be popular, and unlike
with pilots of television shows, the already
finished season cannot be cancelled to save
money. However, this model does appear to
be working for Netflix, as they continue to
pump out new original content and it seems
to be the standard for all of their original
content, from the massively popular vet-
eran “House of Cards” to rookie shows like
“The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and
“Daredevil.”

Yahoo Screen, similar to Hulu, mixes the
television model of one episode per week
with the Netflix model. With regard to its
major show “Community,” Yahoo Screen fol-
lows the classic television model with a twist
for the Internet, that each new episode will
be available at 12:01 a.m. PST on the morn-
ing that the episode will be “aired.” However,
another of Yahoo Screen’s original shows,
“Sin City Saints,” seems to have followed the
Netflix model. The rookie provider appears
to be experimenting with different models
for its different types of shows. “Sin City
Saints” is a new show, but “Community” is in
its sixth season, and first online season, after
five seasons on network television. Perhaps
in this way, Yahoo Screen is still considering
“Community” something of a network show.

“Community” itself has an interesting his-
tory of being deemed so niche that it was
constantly in jeopardy of being cancelled
by its host network, NBC. It was repeat-
edly renewed at the last minute until last
season, when it was finally dropped from the

Web Editor
artsent.asp@ gmail.com

Community moved to Yahoo Screen for its

network. The show was extremely popular with
the online community, and the cries of the fans

of the cult show were what seemed to have been
responsible for the renewal of the show. So, unsur-
prisingly, it garnered a lot of interest from online
content providers.

Most assumed that the show would go on Netflix
or Hulu, prompting people to wonder about the
release schedule of the show. However, the rela-
tively unheard-of Yahoo Screen actually won the
bid to produce and screen the show. The announce-
ment about Yahoo Screen was met with confusion
and surprise. Many people had not heard of the
service at all. The relatively obscure streaming
service gained a lot of notoriety from acquiring
“Community.”

What is apparent is that there is no consistency
among the providers for how original content is
released. Even with Hulu and Yahoo Screen, there
is a lack of uniformity among the screening of
their original content. This frequently leads to con-
fusion among viewers as to how they will be able
to watch their favorite online shows.

In the age of Internet content, uniformity will be
necessary to avoid confusion and maximize view-
ers.

Whether you love
them or hate them,
Sworn In is on the
tongues of every
“core” metalhead fan.

In 2015, if you consider yourself a fan of the
genre, you should know where they came from and
where they’re headed.

The Illinois five-piece have been churning out
their off-kilter nu-metalcore and touring consistent-
ly since their inception in 2011. With the release of
their two EP’s, “Catharsis” and “Start/End,” they
gained a strong following within the underground
metalcore/deathcore community and eventually
signed with Razor & Tie Records, through which
they released their debut full-length album “The
Death Card” in August 2013.

The band was met with a stark rise in popular-
ity throughout 2014 as they toured with genre
heavyweights such as Attila, Crown the Empire,
Emmure and The Acacia Strain. This momentum
pushed them to the forefront of the scene and built
the anticipation for their sophomore effort “The
Lovers/The Devil,” which was released on April 7,
2015.

“The people who like Sworn In like it, and the
people who don’t like Sworn In hate it,” vocalist
Tyler Dennen said in regards to the reception “The
Lovers/The Devil.”

The album serves as a marking of the band’s
transition from the underground to the limelight,
which of course carries with it a great divide
between the “old school fans” and the newcom-
ers, also known as the “bandwagoning posers,” as
many a YouTube commenter would note.

However, completely unfazed by the childish
hatred and “sellout” accusations being tossed his
way, Dennen said the feedback they’ve gotten is
“just exactly what we were expecting.”

The album itself expands upon the dark, chaotic
and viciously heavy “The Death Card” by add-
ing twisted, yet devilishly catchy melodies and
an overall refinement to their pandemonium-like
sound.

“It’s a lot more groovy, rhythmical, less abrasive,
and more melodic. But still heavy,” said Dennen.

He said their goal going into the album was to
“just be more theatrical and really drive in the
point that what we’re about is emotion.”

And just as “Start/End” and “The Death Card”
were, “The Lovers/ The Devil” is a concept album
that Dennen calls “a collection of observations
about destructive relationships.”

“It’s a love story. It goes in depth about how
every person has a lover and a devil inside of them
and they don’t really get the choice of when it
comes out,” he said.

Along with the new elements in their sound and
lyrics, Sworn In adjusted their entire image as
a band to coincide with the theme of the album.
Their signature magnolia logo, pictured on the
cover of “The Death Card,” was swapped out for

the pair of scissors found in the “The Lovers/The
Devil” artwork. They also now tote black, button-
down shirts and red armbands on stage instead of
their black athletic jerseys outfitted with the mag-
nolia and “XIII” logos that had become cult-like
insignias for their devoted fan base.

This conscious shift in direction is nothing new
to the band, but rather symbolizes their mission
statement of continuous progression.

“We never want to stay stagnant. We want to
change with each release. We want to flow with
each release. And we don’t wanna get stuck in a
rut of where people want us to be, but rather what
we want to be,” Dennen said.

Throughout the interview, Dennen was seated
on the decrepit stoop of an abandoned building
next door to the infamous hard core venue Bogies
in downtown Albany. A few hours later, he per-
formed to nearly 300 sweaty, cramped concertgo-
ers in the tiny club.

Clad in black aviator sunglasses, black skinny
jeans, a black jacket and a gold chain around his
neck, he seemed to have bigger sights in mind
than the intimate club-tour lifestyle he and his
bandmates had lived for the past few years. They
were beginning to outgrow the community which
birthed them, another natural progression in the
eyes of Dennen and one which they plan to wel-
come with open arms.

“T wanna tour with bands outside our genre.

I wanna tour with bands that will make people
scratch their head. I would love to tour with
Between the Buried and Me, Falling In Reverse,
Hollywood Undead, and Dir En Grey,” he said.

Each of those bands exist in completely different
sectors of the rock and metal universe, but Sworn
In are determined to push the boundaries, disregard
their critics and perhaps expand the realm of pos-
sibilities for bands of their kin.

All of their efforts boil down to one specific
desire: wanting the audience to feel something.
Dennen believes their live performance represents
their true identity, as it culminates the visual, phys-
ical, and musical all into one.

“The main goal of the show is to have people
going home feeling something. I think a lot of
bands have a real processed view on what the
show is. They get up there, they’re angry, they
stop. It’s fake. It’s transparent. We’re trying real
emotion and have people experience real emotion
rather than what they think they should be feeling,”
he said.

Jimerson paving the way for Native American women

By CELIA BALF
Staff Writer
sports.asp@gmail.com

Alie Jimerson is a freshman at-
tack player for the University at
Albany women’s lacrosse team.
She lives about 30 miles south
of Albany on the Cattaraugus
Reservation, which is part of the
Troquois Confederacy, with her
parents, three sisters and one
brother.

Lacrosse is a gift from the
Creator that was played by
men for healing purposes. For
women, however, their role is
different. They are the givers of
life. In Onondaga, lacrosse trans-
lates to “to bump hips.”

“To bump hips” ideally should
be for the men in their sport.
For Lyle Thompson, his brother
Miles and cousin Ty, the path
they paved at the UAlbany
for Native American lacrosse
players was known nationwide.
Here, they have helped sculpt a
program that has the top scoring
offense, and attracts young men
and women from neighboring
reservations to become Great
Danes, too.

However, as time has passed,
girls like Jimerson have strayed
from the traditional ways and
found ways to play, while still
paying respect to the Creator and
fulfilling her role as a woman.

While women have long held
power on reservations, lacrosse
remains a man’s game. Facing
adversity being a female playing
this sport has been part of Jimer-
son’s journey since a young age.

Jimerson started playing
lacrosse because of her mother,
Claudia. Her mother played la-
crosse during a time when it was
forbidden. Alie explained that
if women were to play lacrosse
it would affect the men’s game.
Despite the taboo against women
playing, Claudia continued. It
was a long period of protesting,
fighting and loving the sport that
has allowed young girls to now
have teams to play for on the
reservation.

“When I first started playing
lacrosse my grandfather wasn’t
a fan. But then once I got good,
he didn’t miss a game,” Jimerson
said. “He’s changing the way
he lives and what he believes
because of me.”

Jimerson explained how her
grandfather was a traditionalist
who didn’t believe in women
playing lacrosse. However,
seeing the
resilience
in these
women and
Alie’s ability,
he is now
beginning
to evolve,
just like the
sport.

Alie said
her father is
in the new
generation,
so he accepts
her playing
lacrosse.
She clarified
how different
the game is
for men and
women.

“T would
never touch
a wooden
stick. It is
anew era,
however
we don’t do
what men
do,” Jimer-
son said. “T
would never

portunity to play internationally.

Jimerson’s high school was
the only one in the area with
lacrosse. Out of the 18 girls on
the team, 14 or 15 were Native
American, she said. Many of the
girls she has grown up playing
with have chosen to continue
playing at Syracuse.

“A lot of girls I know have
gone to Syracuse to play la-

play lacrosse in college. It wasn’t
until I played for Haudenosaunee
in the u-19 World Cup in Ger-
many that I decided I wanted to
play college lacrosse,” Jimerson
said. “We didn’t do very well,
but the experience made me a
whole new player.”

Her experience at UAlbany
has been different, she said, but
she is getting used to balancing

that, because
that would be disrespecting the
Creator.”

Jimerson chose to come to
UAlbany because she wanted to
go somewhere other than Syra-
cuse, where she said, “everyone
is going.”

Jimerson started playing
lacrosse at the age of 7. She
played varsity lacrosse for her
high school, Lake Shore (N-Y.)
and also for a team called First
Nations, which gave her the op-

crosse. They end up sitting the
bench and not really having the
opportunity to play,” Jimerson
said. “But there is a scholarship
there for us, you basically get to
go to school for free.”

Jimerson is ranked sixth
nationally for assists, with 38
so far. She has 57 points total,
with 19 goals on the season, and
has been awarded Rookie of the
Week honors.

“T didn’t know if I wanted to

everything.

“Tn the beginning of the year I
didn’t know what I was doing. I
was dying, sweating and out of
breath in the midfield,” Jimerson
said.

John Battaglino is the head
coach for the Great Danes wom-
en’s lacrosse program. Jimerson
attributes her success this season
to him.

“My coach has molded me
into a really good player. I grew

up around box games, my dad
taught me that style and play.
However I now know how to be
disciplined. Battaglino has given
me freedom to play my style, but
has also taught me the discipline
of the college game,” she said.
Jimerson has been able to stay
true to her roots while adapting
to the faster pace and rush of the
college game. During the fall

she went home frequently, but
being in season this spring has
prevented her from getting home
as often.

Her teammates have been
supportive, taking her in like a
second family.

“T love my team. We mesh well
together. The upperclassman re-
ally took us in, and we’re getting
closer with the sophomores too,”
Jimerson said.

She admires her teammate

Rachel Bowles.

“T really look up to her. She’s
a great player, she’s so modest
and doesn’t yell at me, but helps
me whenever she can,” she said.

Bowles is a junior midfielder
for the Great Danes with 71
points on the season. She has
been an anchor for the Great
Danes since her time at UAlbany.

“Even as a freshman Alie has
accomplished so much this year.
She’s an amazing athlete with
quick feet, quick hands, and has
the ability to play all over the
field,” Bowles said.

Bowles has endless faith in
Jimerson’s ability and sees her
carrying this program far in years
to come.

“She has helped us get to
where we are today and she will
only improve year after year,”
Bowles said.

The unanimous goal of the
UAlbany women’s lacrosse team
was to win the America East
Championship. Unfortunately,
they couldn't accomplish that this
season, as the Great Danes fell to
Stony Brook in the America East
Championship game on Sunday.

Besides winning, Jimerson's
goal is to inspire young girls
to come to Albany and play
lacrosse. She is beginning to
hear young girls who her sister
plays with say, “I want to come
to Albany,” instead of the typical,
“T want to go to Syracuse.”

Jimserson understands that the
traditionalists still don’t believe
in women playing lacrosse, but
with the support of her family,
and teammates, she hopes to
inspire women to play lacrosse
and be regarded with the same
respect as men.

In their final home games at
Albany Field for the 2015 sea-
son, the University at Albany
looked to end the season on
a high note going into the
America East Conference
tournament.

They succeeded, sweep-
ing conference opponent
Hartford (3-43, 0-17 America
East) in a three game series.
On Friday, UAlbany (30-16,
11-6 America East) won 7-3
before an 8-0 blowout win in
the nightcap. On Saturday’s
senior day, UAlbany again
won 8-0 to finish off a three
game sweep.

“Both pitchers really
pitched well today, they both
had no hitters going into the
fifth,” UAlbany Coach Chris
Cannata said on Friday. “It’s
about us playing defense
behind those pitchers too.”

In the first game, it was
freshman Erynn Sobieski’s
pitching that gave the Great
Danes a chance to take the
lead early.

In the second inning, UAI-
bany finally broke through
on a double by center fielder
Alexa Toole who scored two
runs. A couple batters later,
senior Vicky McFarland drilled
a two out, two run double to
extend the UAlbany lead to 4-0
after two innings.

In the third, shortstop Maggie
Cocks lied a solo home run over
the left field wall to make it 5-0.
Toole then drove in a run with
a single to give UAlbany a 6-0
lead after three innings.

sweeps Hartford to finish regular season

That was more than enough run
support for Sobieski. Through
the first five innings, she allowed
no hits and just two Hawks
reached base.

Trailing by seven runs in the
sixth inning, the Hawks showed
signs of life. Danielle DeMarco
drove in the Hawks first run with
a line drive single. With catcher
Sawyer Fried at the plate and
two runners on, UAlbany’s Kelly
Costello couldn’t handle a line
drive and was charged with an
error that allowed two runs to

score.
Sobieski settled down after
that to earn her 10th win of the
season. She finished the game
with just one earned run and four

strikeouts.

Hartford starter Kelsey Bird
couldn’t get through the second
inning as she took the loss with
four earned runs.

In the second game on Friday,
UAlbany’s pitching was again
the story. After sophomore
Mackenzie Thompson pitched a
scoreless first inning, UAlbany

got on the board in the bottom
half on Liz Snow’s run scoring
single with two outs.

In the second inning, UAlbany
doubled their lead on an infield

single by right fielder Caitlin
Cooper. On the play, Mackenzie
Cleary hustled home second base
on the ball hit to Hartford’s sec-
ond baseman to score the second
UAlbany run. A few batters later,
Cocks had a chance with the
bases loaded and two outs. She
delivered with a line drive triple
to center field. All three runners

scored to give UAlbany a 5-0
lead after two innings.

Thompson took control of the
game on there, striking out five
Hawks and allowing just one hit
for a complete game shutout,
her sixth win of the season.

In the bottom of the fourth
inning, McFarland ran for hi:
tory in her final home series.
After a single, McFarland
proceeded to steal second and
third base in the same at-bat,
giving her exactly 100 stolen
bases for her career going into
Saturday’s senior day.

“T didn’t even know that had
happened,” McFarland said of
her 100 stolen bases, which
ranks second in program his-
tory. “Everyone was telling
me congrats and I had no idea
why.”

Even though her teammates
were the ones congratulating
her, McFarland was quick to
give back to them.

“Tt’s on my teammates,”
McFarland said. “It’s with
help from my teammates that
I got [100 stolen bases].”

With a seven run lead in the
sixth inning, UAlbany needed
just one more run to end the
game. In softball, if a team is
leading by eight runs or more at
the end of at least five innings,
the game is over.

After squandering an opportu-
nity to end the game in the fifth,
Snow drove in the final run of
the day with a two out hit in the
sixth, scoring McFarland with
UAlbany’s eight run, capping an
8-0 win.

Hartford’s Bianca Webb
struggled in less than two innings
of work, allowing four runs in

the loss.

Up next, UAlbany will head
to Stony Brook for the America
East conference tournament this
weekend.

Mackenzie Thompson dominated on
Friday for UAlbany.

The Great Danes won the tour-
nament to advance to the NCAA
Tournament last season, and they
know what it will take to get it
done again this year.

“It’s going to take exactly
what it took last year,” McFar-
land said. “It’s going to take all
19 people on our team to come
together and win it.”

“We just need to keep playing
well and keep doing the things
that we do well,” Cannata said.
“Probably the team that is the
toughest team is going to win
the tournament. We’ ve got to be
tough.”

Beasts of the East

Men’s Lacrosse takes down Stony Brook
to win America East Championship.

By AARON CHERIS
Sports Editor
sports .asp@ gmail.com

The University at Albany
men’s lacrosse team prides itself
on being a family. When this
season ends, the family will be
broken up for good.

However, the family will be
together for a little while longer.

UAlbany beat Stony Brook
22-9 in Saturday morning’s
America East Championship
game at Bob Ford Field. This
win gives UAlbany a spot in the
upcoming NCAA Tournament.

“T believe in this team. I
believe in this family,” senior
attacker Lyle Thompson said.
“This is a championship team.”

“We're not a team, we're a
family,” goalkeeper Blaze Rior-
den said. “If we lose this game,
we're putting our faith in the
committee’s hands. We weren’t
letting that happen. We want to
stay together.”

Shortly after the 10 a.m. start,
the visiting Seawolves (13-

5) appeared to have the early
momentum on UAlbany’s (15-2)
turf. In the first three minutes of

the game, Alex Corpolongo and
Brody Eastwood each scored to
give Stony Brook an early 2-0
lead.

That would prove to be the
only lead the Seawolves had all
day.

America East Player of the
Year and 2015 Tewaaraton
Trophy nominee Lyle Thompson
took over the game soon after.

He scored his first goal off a
great pass by Seth Oakes. Less
than a minute later, he added his
second on a long-range shot into
the top right corner. He com-
pleted his hat trick a few minutes
later after shaking free of a
defender and beating the goalie
one-on-one to give UAlbany a
3-2 lead, which they wouldn’t
relinquish.

“T don’t really know what was
going through Lyle’s head,”
UAlbany Coach Scott Marr said.
“He just wanted to get us on
the board and get us going. He
scores three goals in a row and
we never trailed after that.”

When it looked like Stony
Brook grabbed momentum with
a goal in the final minute of the
quarter, Adam Osika answered

for the Great Danes with five
seconds left to give UAlbany a
5-3 lead through one quarter.

The second quarter started like
the first ended. After an Oakes
goal, Thompson ran through a
maze of Stony Brook defend-
ers and beat goalkeeper Hayden
Johnstone. Less than a minute
later, Thompson scored his fifth
and final goal of the game on
a low shovel shot from right in
front of the net to make it 8-3
Danes.

“T wanted to test the defense,”
Thompson said. “I got some
open shots and I put them in.”

UAlbany closed out the first
half on a blast from long distance
by senior Tim Cox. However,
due to penalties at the end of the
first half, UAlbany began the
second half down two men.

Stony Brook failed to score on
the two-man advantage, and that
proved to be a key turning point
in the game.

“We didn’t want to let them
back in the game,” Riorden said.
“Tt was a huge momentum swing
and that’s complimentary to the
way the defense was playing all
day.”

With a two-man
advantage of their
own a couple min-
utes later, the Great
Danes cashed in.

into the net before he fell back
to the turf. The goal sent most

Field to their feet.

Lyle Thompson continued his dominance in Saturday's win.

“T went into halftime and I
didn’t have a goal,” Fields said.
“[Lyle Thompson] really helped
me a lot, I was really taking his
advice.”

With about six minutes left
in the third quarter, UAlbany’s
defense stepped up.

Freshman AJ Kluck stripped a
Stony Brook attacker of the ball
and led the offense in transition.
At the other end, Fields found

Oakes open at the side of the net.

In one motion, Oakes jumped to

In the fourth quarter, the Great
Danes put the final nail in Stony
Brook’s coffin. Oakes and
Fields each scored highlight-reel
goals with just one hand to get
UAlbany’s lead to double digits.
Fields finished with four goals

for a team-high 56 on the season.

Oakes finished with four goals
of his own to increase his season
total to 51.

As time ran down, Thompson,
Riorden, and other UAlbany
starters returned to the bench to

standing ovations. The 22 goals
UAlbany scored is an America
East Championship game record.

In net for UAlbany, Riorden
had nine saves. UAlbany fresh-
man Cason Liles dominated the
faceoffs, winning 20 of 33 on the
game.

For Stony Brook, Challen Rog-
ers led the way with three goals.
Johnstone made 11 saves in net
in the loss.

Up next, UAlbany will head to
the NCAA Tournament. For their
first round game, UAlbany will
head to Ithaca to play Cornell
University on Saturday at noon.
UAlbany played Cornell on Feb.
28, with the Big Red winning
16-9.

After falling one goal short in
the national quarterfinals against
Notre Dame last season, the
Great Danes have a deeper tour-
nament run on their minds.

“To me, attitude, confidence,
that’s a huge thing. I think we
have that,” Thompson said.

“We’ ve just got to go in with the
right attitude, with confidence
and play how we did today.”

“We'll play anybody, any-
where, anyplace, anytime,” Marr
said. “Now it’s about going out
next weekend and playing a
complete game and executing.”

Great Dane signs NFL free agent contract

Even though University at
Albany tight end Brian Parker
wasn’t one of the 256 players
picked in the 2015 NFL

“We talked to all the teams and
we were able to tell them the
type of kid he is, how hard he
works, and what a team player
he is.”

Parker helped UAlbany win
two straight Northeast Confer-

Draft, he will still get the
chance to live his dream.
Following the conclusion
of the NFL Draft on Satur-
day, Parker signed an un-
drafted free agent deal with
the San Diego Chargers.
Over his four years at UAI-
bany, Parker finished with
1,006 receiving yards and
nine touchdowns. This past

season, he made 39 catches
for 500 receiving yards and
five touchdowns.

While the stats are nice, they
don’t tell Parker’s whole story.

“He really learned how to
practice hard, which I think is
something that in the NFL you
really have to do,” UAlbany
head coach Greg Gattuso said.

ence championships in 2011 and
2012. During the transition to the
Colonial Athletic Association in
2013, Parker was a big target for
quarterback Will Fiacchi. This
past season, he was an integral
part of a UAlbany team that won

seven games.

“There are not a lot of human
beings that are 6-foot-4, 265
pounds that can run a 4.55 40
[yard dash],” Gattuso said. “T
think the NFL scouts are excited
about him.”

Parker joins a Chargers team
that features one of the greatest
tight ends in NFL history, Anto-
nio Gates. Gates, an eight-time
Pro Bowl selection, is currently
the Chargers all-time leader in
receptions, receiving yards, and
receiving touchdowns. Gates is
likely to be enshrined in the Pro
Football Hall of Fame upon his
retirement.

Parker announced his signing
on Twitter, saying, “Beyond ex-

Senator Stipends

De La Cruz pointed out that

the stipends currently in place
for UAlbany’s SA are far lower
than the stipends received by
student government officials at
other schools. Chief Justice Nick
Butler added that the current
stipends are too low to reflect the
countless hours that department
directors commit to SA.

Efekoro motioned to give
senators a $100 stipend, which
would add $9,400 to the stipend
line, but the motion failed in a
vote. However, $800 was added
to the stipend line for the senate
secretary.

The total stipend line for
the 2015-2016 school year is
$47,150.

Men’s Rugby

During the initial budget meet-
ing, the Men’s Rugby team was
removed from the budget. This
was due to the fact that the team
was not eligible to be included in
the budget since the team had no
money in its account. To rectify
this, the rugby team needed to
retum to SA to ask for funding.
When the team returned to SA
during the second budget meet-
ing, SA added $1 to the rugby
account, thus making the team
eligible to be included in the
budget. The rugby budget was
reinstated and currently stands at
$11,145.

Appropriations

There is a total of $85,000 in
the Appropriations Line for the
2015-2016 school year. The Ap-
propriations Line contains funds
that SA can distribute to student

groups.

OPINIONS

... Four years later

By MICHELLE CHECCHI
Outgoing Editor-in-Chief
asp_online@ hotmail.com

AsI'm talking to him about just how fast the past
four years have gone, he asks me a question so
straightforward and innocent that I couldn’t contain
my laughter.

“Was it fun?” he asked me. I could hear him grin-
ning over the phone.

One of my mentors told me to make this editorial
count. So I think that’s what I'd like to write about:
making it count.

After working on the newspaper for a few hours,
T’d usually take a break to walk around the halls,
which were ghostly quiet at that time of night. I'd
pace back and forth and stare out the windows at
the colored lights going through their cyclical pat-
tems in the fountain.

Sunday nights the campus is very quiet.

It’s hard to look back on the past four years and
sum it up in a few hundred words, but I like to
think that I made it count. I think that this can often
be the biggest challenge, in so many aspects of life.

When you know you have another year or two of
college left, it doesn’t matter if you take advantage

year. Or even next month, or next week.

Well, for myself and the other members of the
2015 graduating class, we're down to our last
handfuls of tomorrows to make it count.

But, luckily for us, that’s just for this chapter.

So I’d like to remind myself, and the other mem-
bers of the 2015 graduating class, that, as we go
forward down these different wayward roads, we
really do have to remember to make it count.

Atevents like your college graduation, you get
slapped in the face with a reminder of how quickly
“it” goes. It’s life giving you a wake up call, paging
the building and seeing if you’ re home.

I'd like to thank my colleagues on the paper for
working with me (otherwise known as “dealing
with me”) for the past four years, and for allowing
me to lead them for the past 12 months.

I'd like to thank all of the friends and mentors
I met along the way, for shaping (for better or for
worse) who I’ve become over the course of the
past four years.

Ninety-nine years ago, when the Albany Student
Press was in it’s first year of existence, the world
was a very different place. The A SP is older than
you or I, and has carried the precursors to thou-
sands of adult lives in its pages.

Congratulations to my fellow graduates. To quote
Elle Woods: “We did it!”

And yes, to answer your question David - it was
fun.

But often, in the world’s most crowded streets,
But often, in the din of strife,
There rises an unspeakable desire
After the knowledge of our buried life;
“The Buried Life”

of an opportunity, because you always have next

The sky is the limit

By Apa Mpocu
Outgoing Copy Editor
asp.copyeditor@ gmail.com

And now, a year and seven
months after her passing, I still
cling on to every word she has
instilled in me as I get ready to
embark on this new chapter of
my life as a college graduate.

My mother bought silk curtains
from the flea market and put
them on the windows. She also
got a porcelain white china dish
set and put the dishes into the
new armoire in the dining room.
I think she felt accomplished
because she was able to buy her
first home on the island so that
her family could have a better
life. I remember her going to
work at the hospital every night
and coming back early in the
momings to help my brother and
I get ready for pre-school.

My mother encouraged me to
be an avid reader and writer at
an early age. She took me to the
local library, where I got my first
library card when I was 5 years
old. It was then that my love
affair with books and reading
began to grow. I must have read
a thousand books throughout my
youth. I got lost in the stories of
“Harry Potter,” “Clifford the Big
Red Dog,” “AnAmerican Girl,”
“Sweet Valley Kids,” “The Baby
Sitters Club,” “Flowers in the At-
tic,” “Matilda,” “June B. Jones”
and countless more. Every day
after school, my mother would

take me to the library and drop
me off at the kids’ section, while
she went downstairs to study
for exams to earn her master’s
degree in nursing. Through her,
I leamed that education is the
ultimate tool toward success.

I wrote about my awkwardness
in school and how the other kids
were bullying me in my class for
being “different.” I wrote about
how alone I felt because my
brother was autistic and couldn't
talk to me the way other siblings
could. I talked about how diffi-
cult it was to be a kid growing up
with two strict Nigerian parents.
I think my mother sensed that I
had a rough time articulating my
thoughts into words, and thought
that the best thing for me to do to
process my emotions was write
them down.

My mother also taught me how
to ride a bicycle. I laugh at this
memory now because we were
fighting that day. I did not want
to learn how to ride because I
was too afraid of falling. Because
of my fear, I couldn't play with
other kids in the neighborhood.
All the kids had these cool bi-
cycles and all I had was my pink
and purple tricycle.

I start pedaling. She told me she
was going to let go, and when
she did, I fell to the ground and
scraped my knee. I looked at her
and start whimpering, but she
told me to wipe my tears and try
again. I got back up, got on my
bike, she pushed, and again I fell.
The cycle continued well into the
evening and even when I wanted
to go home, she refused.

“We're not going home until
you lear how to ride that bike.”

And I did leam after a while.
When my mom finally let go of
me and I was riding my bike into
the sunset, I felt so proud and
accomplished. And I know my
mom did, too.

It’s funny because I never ap-
preciated the love I had for my
mother until she died. As I grew
into a teenager, our relationship
got strained. It was one of those
instances where, as a bratty teen-
ager, you think that you hold all
the answers and that yourmom’s
sole existence is to ruin your
life. In retrospect, I think I was
so foolish to not fully listen to
my mother when she would give
advice on boys, clothes, educa-
tion, and life as a black woman.
It’s only now that I’m in my 20s
that I finally begin to realize that
my mother’s wisdom is the truth
that I needed to hear.

My mother taught me so much.
She taught me to how to love and
nurture my family. She taught me
how to be inquisitive, to speak
my mind, and to always have a
thirst for knowledge. She taught
me how to love myself and treat
myself like the queen I am. She
taught me how to be indepen-
dent and not rely on a man or
anyone else to take care of me.
She taught me how to be strong,
even when adversity is thrown
my way and I don’t know how to
deal with it. And most impor
tantly, she taught me to be myself
and to love my individuality.

Tam 23 years old and my
mother is no longer here with
me. But I know that she would
want me to be happy and to live
my life to the fullest.

Tam 23 years old and I am
about to graduate from college.
Ihave my whole life ahead of
me and even though my mother
is not here with me anymore, I
will never forget the memories
that we shared together. This is
the time to celebrate not only
my accomplishments as a young
woman, but also the life that al-
lowed me to get this far.

Perhaps the answer lies in gath-
ering people who believe in the
same ideas for peace. A petition
could be made, peaceful protests
could be conducted (not like the
riots that have occurred recently),
and awareness could be spread
for those who do not realize that
there are other alternatives to
conflict resolutions rather than
enacting war.

From Liverpool to Albany
The Wombats play a sold out show at The Hollow

By Juma Day “So I’m moving to New York cause
Arts & Entertainment Editor I’ve got problems with my sleep,
artsent.asp@ gmail.com looks like Christmas came early,

Christmas came early for me,” lead
vocalist Matthew Murphy belts into the microphone.

Christmas certainly came early for fans of The Wombats, who
“moved to New York” while stopping on their tour to rock down-
town Albany.

The Wombats, an English indie rock band originating from
Liverpool, played to a sold out crowd this past weekend at The
Hollow Bar + Kitchen on Friday, May 1 to promote their new album,
“Glitterbug.” Albany is one of many stops for the band on their inter-
national tour, playing in the United States, Canada, Australia, and all
over Europe.

The band released their album “A Guide to Love, Loss, and
Desperation,” in 2007 to successful reviews, reaching number 11 on
the UK Albums Chart. This was followed by “This Modem Glitch,”
in 2011 moving up to number three on the UK Albums Chart.

“They say your first album is luck, your second is a rebellion and
your third is what defines you,” Murphy said in a press release. “As
proud as I am of the first two albums, I think Glitterbug will be what
defines The Wombats.”

The line was out the door as eager fans waited to enter The Hollow
in downtown Albany. As concert goers began trickling into the small,
intimate venue, Pennsylvania indie pop band Cheerleader gave an

Indie pop band Cheerleader gives an impressive opening act.

Cheerleader proved themselves to be an entertaining opening act.

“Sunshine of Your Youth” was the song that stood out the most, with |

acatchy guitar intro that’s bound to stick in your head. Their act
showcased the band’s talent and future potential as they continue to
tour the United States with The Wombats.

In between songs, The Wombats’ humorous interjections and on
stage banter gave a true look into the band members’ likable person-
alities.

“That actually wasn’t that bad,” joked drummer Dan Haggis after
a song.

During more banter, Murphy went on to start talking about the
television phenomenon, “Breaking Bad.”

“Does anyone in this room know someone who doesn’t like
‘Breaking Bad?’ Because I don’t think they exist,” said Murphy.

Ending their set with the synth-heavy “Tokyo (Vampires and
Wolves),” the audience cried out for an encore. The Wombats went
on to perform two more songs, “Emoticons” from their new album,
and finally the song the audience had all been waiting for “Let's

Dance to Joy Division.” This fan favorite sent the audience bouncing
off their feet and into the air, dancing their pants off. There was defi-
nitely no better way to have ended the night.

The Wombats not only gave a stellar performance, but also put on
an interactive and exciting audience experience.

With fresh material from “Glitterbug” along with classics from
previous albums, there is no doubt that their success will continue to
grow. The Wombats gave an outstanding performance in A lbany this
past weekend, satisfying fans both old and new.

Comedian Brian Regan coming to the Palace T heatre

On Friday May 8,
renowned stand-up
comedian Brian.
Regan will be
performing at the Palace Theatre in A lbany.

Regan has had many notable accomplishments
over the span of his 20 year career, including
selling out the Red Rocks A mphitheater in Denver
and performing on “The Late Show” with David
Letterman 27 times.

“Some people like to describe my comedy as
observational, but I don’t like to give it a category,”
Regan said in a phone interview.

Regan has been doing stand-up comedy since
he was in college. His interest started when he
was in a public speaking class, trying to make his
presentations entertaining and funny. It was at that
point he decided he no longer wanted to be an
accounting major.

“Tt wasn’t until I made people laugh in class that
I realized that this was something I wanted to do,”
Regan said.

“Performing in Albany is always fun because it’s
cool to think that my mother spent a good portion
of her life here,” he said. “I’ve never taken a tour of
Saint Rose, but I have driven passed the campus.”

One of Regan’s favorite parts of being a stand-up
comedian is that he gets to see different parts of the
world.

“As much as | like to perform in cities, it’s
always fun to perform in a place like Albany or
other smaller venues because it’s cool to see the
country,” he said.

Before performing at the Palace Theatre this
week, Brian Regan will be performing for the 28th

Brian Regan has seen many changes in stand-up
comedy over his illustrious career. Regan feels that
these changes in comedy won't effect the success
of stand-up comedians.

“T don’t think it’s easier or harder to be coming
up in comedy now, it’s just different,” he said.
“When I was first coming up in comedy being on
late night television was making it. Now there are
podcast and YouTube.”

Like many comedians, Regan views George
Carlin as a huge inspiration. One of the things he
likes most about Carlin is his respect of the craft.

This same determination and love of the craft
shows up in Regan, who is constantly coming up
with new material for his audiences.

“T would never like to do a show of my greatest
hits,” he said. “People will only come to see that
two, maybe three times. I like to keep writing new
jokes and seeing how they work with an audience.”

Regan is a workhorse in stand-up comedy, and
while he may not have the name recognition that
some big comedians have, he has the respect of his
peers and a committed fan base.

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS

By ANTHONY DOMINGUEZ
Assistant AGE Editor

In creating a grand narrative of films,
Marvel has entered a competition with
itself to ensure that sequels to their
previous blockbusters are even bigger
spectacles than the ones that came before. Pioneers of the “after-
credits scenes,” Marvel cleverly built massive suspension leading
up to their 2012 mega-hit “The Avengers” by way of offering sneak-
peeks to a much bigger film through smaller pieces in their narrative.

For fans of Marvel's Cinematic Universe, “The Avengers” was
more than just the latest superhero film amongst the never-ending
wave the genre seems to offer as of late. “The Avengers” was both
literally and figuratively an amalgamation of everything that came
before it within the MCU. Characters from a collective of films
shared the big screen together and in doing so, Marvel kept fans
happy by offering what entertainment spectacles do best— the depic-
tion of unparalleled destruction.

The final set piece in “The Avengers” saw downtown Manhattan
obliterated on a myriad of levels. Images of overtumed cars, giant
craters in pavement, average citizens cowering in fear for their lives,
and entire buildings being brought down dominated the screen in a
manner that eerily recalled A merica’s own anxiety after the Sept. 11,
2001 attacks.

Joss Whedon returns as director and writer and wastes no time
in jumping straight into the action. The movie begins with a battle
between the superhero group and Hydra, the terrorist organization
from the “Captain America” films. There’s hardly anything new here
that hasn't been seen already. “Captain A merica: The Winter Soldier”
enhanced its action by way of camera movement, a technique that’s
unfortunately absent in “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

Choreography becomes repetitive, with the only refreshing aspect
being the quips between members of the group, which successfully
keeps the tone between action and comedy that Marvel's films have
established for themselves. The camera movement that is present

The cast of the Avengers lines up for battle.

during these action scenes are jerky due to the constant jumping
Whedon uses to showcase everyone, creating a sense of nausea that
is further fueled by the literal twists and tums of the actors’ bodies.

Two new characters are introduced in the midst of the action,
Pietro Maximoff, (Aaron Taylor Johnson) and his twin sister Wanda
Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). Pietro possess the power of super-speed
while Wanda can use hypnosis and telekinesis. Wanda kicks off the
plot of the film by hypnotizing Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) into
seeing an apocalyptic vision where the Avengers have all died and
the Earth has succumbed to an alien invasion. Once the battle ends,
the twins have disappeared and the Avengers have become success-
ful in retrieving Loki’s scepter from the Hydra base.

entertainment. As a franchise dedicated to breaking the billion dollar
mark, every new film raises the stakes and the mayhem that comes
along with it.

Reprieves between the action pieces offer relief for both the
Avengers and audiences, but ultimately showcase Whedon’s inability
to evolve as both a writer and a director.

At the end of the day the superheroes have to band together
because they’ re the only ones who can save the world, but oddly
enough are the same ones who thrust it into chaos. As if aware of
being stuck within a repetitive narrative, Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner)
comments on his want to not be mind-controlled by Wanda as he’s
“already done it once.”

Netflix vs. Hulu vs. Yahoo Screen
Inconsistencies of online streaming

M etal

band Sworn In

Ina culture of
binge watching, the
release schedules
for some of Yahoo
Screen and Hulu’s shows seem simply archaic.

Yahoo Screen, similar to Hulu, mixes the
television model of one episode per week
with the Netflix model. With regard to its
major show “Community,” Yahoo Screen fol-
lows the classic television model with a twist
for the Internet, that each new episode will
be available at 12:01 am. PST on the mom-
ing that the episode will be “aired.” However,
another of Yahoo Screen’s original shows,
“Sin City Saints,” seems to have followed the
Netflix model. The rookie provider appears
to be experimenting with different models
for its different types of shows. “Sin City
Saints” is a new show, but “Community” is in
its sixth season, and first online season, after
five seasons on network television. Perhaps
in this way, Yahoo Screen is still considering
“Community” something of a network show.

network. The show was extremely popular with
the online community, and the cries of the fans

of the cult show were what seemed to have been
responsible for the renewal of the show. So, unsur-
prisingly, it gamered a lot of interest from online
content providers.

In the age of Internet content, uniformity will be
necessary to avoid confusion and maximize view-
ers.

Whether you love
them or hate them,
Swom In is on the
tongues of every
“core” metalhead fan.

In 2015, if you consider yourself a fan of the
genre, you should know where they came from and
where they're headed.

The Illinois five-piece have been chuming out
their off-kilter nu-metalcore and touring consistent-
ly since their inception in 2011. With the release of
their two EP’s, “Catharsis” and “Start/End,” they
gained a strong following within the underground
metalcore/deathcore community and eventually
signed with Razor & Tie Records, through which
they released their debut full-length album “The
Death Card” in August 2013.

“The people who like Sworn In like it, and the
people who don’t like Sworn In hate it,” vocalist
Tyler Dennen said in regards to the reception “The
Lovers/The Devil.”

However, completely unfazed by the childish
hatred and “sellout” accusations being tossed his
way, Dennen said the feedback they’ ve gotten is

P| | “just exactly what we were expecting.”

The album itself expands upon the dark, chaotic
and viciously heavy “The Death Card” by add-
ing twisted, yet devilishly catchy melodies and
an overall refinement to their pandemonium-like
sound.

“It’s a lot more groovy, rhythmical, less abrasive,
and more melodic. But still heavy,” said Dennen.

He said their goal going into the album was to
“just be more theatrical and really drive in the
point that what we’ re about is emotion.”

And just as “Start/End” and “The Death Card”
were, “The Lovers/ The Devil” is a concept album
that Dennen calls “a collection of observations
about destructive relationships.”

“It’s a love story. It goes in depth about how
every person has a lover and a devil inside of them
and they don’t really get the choice of when it
comes out,” he said.

Along with the new elements in their sound and
lyrics, Swom In adjusted their entire image as
a band to coincide with the theme of the album.
Their signature magnolia logo, pictured on the
cover of “The Death Card,” was swapped out for

This conscious shift in direction is nothing new
to the band, but rather symbolizes their mission
statement of continuous progression.

“I wanna tour with bands outside our genre.

I wanna tour with bands that will make people
scratch their head. I would love to tour with
Between the Buried and Me, Falling In Reverse,
Hollywood Undead, and Dir En Grey,” he said.

“The main goal of the show is to have people
going home feeling something. I think a lot of
bands have a real processed view on what the
show is. They get up there, they’re angry, they
stop. It’s fake. It’s transparent. We’ re trying real
emotion and have people experience real emotion
rather than what they think they should be feeling,”
he said.
