Members of the skating community expressed frustration Wednesday night over plans for a skate park in Cambridge, which have been prolonged for more than 10 years.

The Charles River Skatepark, projected for construction under the Zakim Bridge in East Cambridge, will be open to BMX riders, inline skaters and skateboarders, ac-cording to the CRC website.

Project manager and former profession-al skateboarder Kanten Russell presented a slideshow of three preliminary park de-signs to an audience of about 100 people at the Boston Public Library.

Russell distributed questionnaires to gather input from the community on posi-tives and negatives of the designs.

“We have about 10,000 to 12,000 more square feet we can utilize,” Russell said. “It is important to share what else you want in this park.”

The park is still planned to open in De-cember of 2013, he said.

“This is not my skate park, not their skate park — it’s all of ours,” said Mike McIntyre, ASD founder and principal de-signer of the proposed skate park.

Members of the audience said they had concerns about how the designs would move forward and that they were frustrated the project has been going on for 10 years.

“I feel the frustration of you all,” said Andy MacDonald, multiple X-Games gold medalist. “We have been waiting for this to happen for a very long time, but I can hon-estly say I’m cautiously optimistic of this skate park going forward.”

MacDonald said the delays are unfortu-nate.

“This is something I want to see move forward,” he said. “It’s unfortunate for our community and the kids in this sport.”

The meeting was intended to provide

An SUV struck a female Boston Univer-sity student Wednesday afternoon in East Campus.

The student was making a turn on her bi-cycle at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Silber Way, said Boston Police Department spokesman David Estrada.

At around 12:44 p.m., officers responded to 602 Commonwealth Ave. for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a bicyclist, Estrada said.

Estrada said the driver of the vehicle, a green sports utility vehicle, was traveling through a green traffic signal at the intersec-tion when the student attempted to turn in

front of his vehicle.“The operator of the motor vehicle was

traveling eastbound on Comm. Ave. in the left hand travel lane,” he said, “and it looks like as he went through the intersection with a green traffic signal, a bicyclist cut across his vehicle and attempted to make a left-hand turn in front of his vehicle.”

BU spokesman Colin Riley confirmed that the bicyclist was a female BU student.

Estrada said the vehicle collided with the bicycle. The student, who suffered knee, el-bow and back injuries, was transported to St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center for treatment.

Estrada said the driver was interviewed by police following the accident and re-leased.

The driver of the vehicle, who requested to remain anonymous, said he could not stop his SUV quickly enough when the cyclist cut in front of him.

“She was just driving ... on her bike, I guess, I don’t know, but on the side of me, and then she just made a left right in front of my car — there’s nothing I could do to stop,” the driver, who asked to remain anonymous, said in an interview.

The driver said the student was not riding in the bicycle lane.

“She was on the side of my car, and I was in the left lane,” he said. “I have no idea what she was trying to do.”

The driver said he had no idea if the bi-cyclist looked behind her before she turned.

Although many incidents pose a risk for bicyclists in Boston, legislation and other initiatives from MassBike aim to decrease the number of accidents and educate bikers on safety.

“The city is fully engaged in bicycle safety,” said David Watson, executive direc-tor of MassBike. “The mayor deserves a lot of credit.”

MassBike, a coalition promoting bicycle riding, offers bike safety classes and will of-fer safety brochures in eight languages start-ing next week, Watson said.

In 2008, MassBike helped pass the Bi-cycle Safety Act, which made it illegal for a car to pass a bike and make an immediate right turn. The act also outlawed opening car doors in the bike lane.

The Bicycle Safety Act took four legis-lative sessions and a total of eight years to pass, according to the MassBike website.

Watson said the laws could be more en-forced, but he recognizes the police have limited resources and other priorities.

Scott Paré, deputy director of public safety with the Boston University Police Department, said bike collisions, whether they involved pedestrians or cars, have in-creased recently.

“It seems lately [there are] two to three [accidents] a week, and that’s a lot,” Paré said.

Paré said other frequent incidents include car drivers who open doors that bikers run into, bikers running red lights and bikers riding on the sidewalks.

Commonwealth Avenue and Massachu-setts Avenue have the highest rate of acci-dents, according to three surveys published by Boston Bikes in 2010.

In 2011 the coalition pushed for the Vul-nerable Road Users bill, which was intended to further bicycle safety, but was killed in June by the Legislature.

“[The bill] would require both education and community service for any motorist who is convicted of killing or seriously in-juring a vulnerable user,” Watson said.

Boston EMS responded to about 580 bi-

cycle accidents in 2011, according to statis-tics from Boston Bikes.

Watson said the New Balance Hubway system is also a positive sign, and the bikes are safer than privately owned bikes.

“Hubway riders have a much lower ac-cident rate than other cyclists,” said Jessica Robertson, Transportation Coordinator for the Metropolitan Area Planning Council.

There have been no major accidents since Hubway was founded, Robertson said.

She said there is no way to enforce rid-

While U.S. President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney both address the financial strain of college costs, they offer different solutions for conquering student debt.

A number of Boston University students who will be affected by these plans after they graduate said despite the increasing cost of college tuition, money should not stop a student from obtaining a degree.

“Nobody can realistically afford college in this economy — let’s be honest,” said Julianne Lee, a College of Communication sophomore, who identifies herself as po-litically independent. “Obama is better for those paying for school themselves. Rom-ney’s plan is better for the middle-class family.”

Obama plans to continue to increase the amount of federal aid to students and push a proposal that would reward federal aid to colleges who curb tuition increases, as reported by The New York Times in Sep-tember.

Romney plans to tighten financial aid requirements in attempts to reduce federal spending. However, he also plans to re-move incentives in the federal aid system to raise tuition and return the issuing of federally subsidized loans to private lend-ers and banks.

Federal grants might help students fi-nance higher education, but also have a negative impact on the economy, said po-litical science professor Douglas Kriner.

“Increasing Pell Grants fits well into the overall narrative that Obama tried to create at the convention,” Kriner said. “It fits into a new Democratic mold that government provides a hand up and not a hand out.”

Romney’s argument is that federal aid disturbs the normal functioning of a gov-ernment, Kriner said.

“He does not care for direct federally subsidized loans because he feels when government intervenes in markets, it leads to inefficiencies,” he said.

Michael Neminski, a sophomore in the College of Arts and Sciences and a member of BU College Republicans, said he is on the fence with this issue.

In an article published in the Sept. 18 print edition, titled “H1N1 vaccine may worsen symptoms, study finds,” the author wrote that ferrets in a study were issued an H1N1 vaccine before being exposed to the H1N1 virus, after which they experienced worse symptoms than ferrets that did not receive the H1N1 vaccine.

However, this is incorrect. The ferrets were injected with the 2008–09 seasonal flu vaccine. This mistake, plus further misinterpretations of the procedure and conclusion of the study, resulted in the misrepresentation of Professor Nahid Bhadelia. Students interviewed in the story were misin-formed before giving their input. As a result, the story misrepresented all those involved.

ers to call in accidents, but if a major accident happened, Hubway would receive an EMS report.

“Every single Hubway bike gets checked by a mechanic once a month,” Robertson said.

The bikes have automatic

lights, and are a bit slower than other bikes, but another reason for the low accident rates is that Hubway users take the bikes for transportation, and are not “dare-devils,” Robertson said.

Boston Bikes, a city hall initia-tive that started in 2007, has seen the number of bike riders double

since it was founded, according to the City of Boston’s website.

Paré said discipline is taken se-riously, and if students repeat of-fenses or make a serious violation, they will be ticketed.

He also said he emphasizes the importance of good safety locks, encouraging U-locks, and said

students should also register their bikes with the Parking Registra-tion to prevent bicycle theft.

Information such as the model of the bike is recorded when bikes are registered, which gives the po-lice a better chance to locate the stolen bike, he said.

Paré said the Boston Bike Safe-

ty Committee prefers to educate students on safety.

“They try to educate as much as possible,” he said. “Some of those violations can be fined, like ticket-ing, but [the BUPD prefers] not to do that, we prefer to educate stu-dents.”

Hiring a range of diverse em-ployees and businesses in the state’s emerging casino industry will help the economy and the casinos, mem-bers of a supplier diversity panel said at a public forum Wednesday.

“This is about access and op-portunity,” said Megan Cleghorn, a legal expert from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. “This is about equity. It’s the right thing to do. These are irrefutable argu-ments, but I’m here today to actu-ally present the business case.”

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission held the meeting to discuss diversity and inclusion for job opportunities as Massachusetts moves toward expanded gaming in the Commonwealth.

Each of the Commonwealth’s three casinos, which were legalized

in 2011, would bring an average of 4,377 direct jobs, according to a 2008 analysis prepared for Mas-sachusetts by the Spectrum Gaming Group.

Cleghorn presented statistics about the diversity of the Common-wealth’s workforce.

About 25 percent of Massachu-setts residents are non-white, non-hispanic, Cleghorn said, and 51 percent are women.

It is necessary to understand that ignoring such a large portion of the workforce in the U.S. is nonsensi-cal, she said.

Other members on the supplier diversity panel highlighted the im-portance of hiring a diverse work-force for the state’s upcoming three casinos, including casino employ-ees and contracted-out vendors.

“There are tremendous opportu-nities that this development is mak-

ing available to the business com-munity at all phases of the project,” said Fred McKinney, president and CEO of the Greater New England Minority Supplier Development Council.

McKinney said there were many job opportunities in the gaming in-dustry, including security, construc-tion, public relations, marketing and operation.

McKinney said it was important for businesses to seek certification by agencies like the GNEMSDC, which works with companies to contract out services to businesses that are 51-percent owned and con-trolled by an ethnic minority.

McKinney said it was important for the executives of supplier com-panies to personally value diversity.

Boston University officials said they plan to use Saturday’s Celebration for BU to begin a massive new fundraising program called Campaign for BU.

“[This will be] the public launch of BU’s first ever compre-hensive fundraising campaign,” said Steve Hall, vice president of alumni relations. “That will be a campaign with a goal of $1 billion over the next five years.”

Hall said the fundraising will go to hiring new faculty, construc-tion, renovation and financial aid.

He said the main difference between this campaign and any other fundraising effort is that it gives the university and alumni a timeline.

“It gives you a sense of ur-gency, it gives you a deadline, it gives you a goal,” he said. “The combination of those three things tends to make us more successful in making lots of money,” Hall said. “It’s also a call to arms for alumni and friends.”

Hall said the campaign will be beneficial to students, particularly as it will strengthen BU’s reputa-tion.

“The real impact on the cur-rent students is every dollar that comes into this campaign is going to make the university stronger and that is going to increase the value of their degree,” Hall said.

Some students said they would like funds to go toward dormitory and facility renovations.

College of Arts and Sciences sophomore Jacqueline MacDon-ald said she would like to see the CAS classrooms renovated.

“I think some of the class-rooms are nice in there, but I think overall the building just needs to be upgraded,” she said.

City councilors passes revised redistricting plan at meeting

By Jasper CravenDaily Free Press Staff

4th-cent. text not definite proof that Christ had wife, experts say

The Boston City Council voted Wednesday to approve the revised redistricting plan, ending more than a year of deliberations.

The 7–6 vote passed the pro-posed redistricting map to Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, who vetoed a similar proposal on Sept. 6 on the basis of unequal opportunity.

“This map does no better or no worse than the map that was pre-sented to the mayor in a 7–6 vote on addressing this issue [of appropri-ately representing District 4],” said Councilor Bill Linehan, of South Boston, in the meeting, which was livestreamed.

Linehan opposed the vote during the meeting.

The redistricting has been under attack by organizations in the Coali-tion of Communities of Color, such as the Massachusetts civic educa-tion initiative Oiste and the Boston branch of the National Associate of the Advancement of Colored Peo-ple.

Councilor Tito Jackson of Rox-

bury, a main proponent of the redis-tricting, said the current map, while not perfect, is ideal for the redistrict-ing.

“This map is one that keeps many of our communities together,” he said. “… It definitely keeps the integrity of District 2 [South End and South Boston] — it keeps many of the communities together and is a very good take at what we can and should see in the next 10 years.”

Councilor Charles Yancey of Dorchester said that while 53 per-cent of Boston residents are people of color, the proposed map only rep-resents 44 percent. He also criticized how the map fails to “unite Matta-pan.”

City Councilors Matt O’Malley, Frank Baker, Ayanna Pressley, John Connolly, Felix Arroyo and Michael Ross voted with Jackson for the map.

Voting against the map with Linehan and Yancey were City Council President Stephen Murphy of Hyde Park and Councilors Mark Ciommo, Robert Consalvo and Sal-vatore LaMattina.

‘NOBAMA,’ THEY SAY

A fourth-century text indicating Jesus Christ said “my wife” could open new questions for the religious community in a finding Harvard University announced Tuesday.

“This is the only extant ancient text which explicitly portrays Jesus as referring to a wife,” wrote Karen King, a professor at the Harvard Divinity School, in a paper detail-ing the discovery. “It does not, however, provide evidence that the historical Jesus was married, given the late date of the fragment and the probable date of original composi-tion only in the second half of the second century.”

The document, a piece of papy-rus written in Coptic, belongs to an anonymous private collector that approached King to translate, ac-cording to a Harvard press release.

King, who could not translate Coptic, brought the papyrus to the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World in New York from a private owner, where Roger Bagnall and AnneMarie Luijendijk translated it.

“It doesn’t confirm that the his-torical Jesus had a historical wife,” said David Frankfurter, a professor of religion at Boston University. “It suggests that people in the late sec-ond century, who were discussing the value of celibacy, might have speculated that Jesus himself had a wife, or called Mary Magdalene his wife.”

One side of the papyrus contains eight incomplete sentences written in hand, while the backside only displays three words and a few ran-dom letters, according to the press release.

“Its language [Sahidic Coptic] as well as the conditions for the preser-vation of organic material indicate that it was found in Egypt,” wrote King in her paper.

King also wrote that researchers seriously considered whether the piece of parchments was a forgery.

“It would be very difficult to re-produce the kind the damage from insects or moisture that the frag-ment indicates,” she wrote, “but it

I have a slight fear of anything related to trains. It’s nothing too se-rious. I don’t start panicking or per-spiring whenever I see train tracks, and I’ve never been rushed to the hospital because of an upcoming train trip. A disclaimer: I should re-spect people who have real phobias and say that mine is hardly one. It’s actually a mix of fear, wonder and paranoia.

The country I grew up in did not have a railway system, so train travel was almost unheard of among the locals.

Some may agree (at least its na-tional airline does) that the United Arab Emirates is located in the cen-ter of the Earth, and so I’ve spent a great amount of time on airplanes, flying around to visit friends and family, and unlike Boston, Dubai and Abu Dhabi are absolutely not walkable cities, and so every fam-ily has two, three or four cars. So to me, a landslide derailing a train is way scarier than a car accident with 10 cars playing Dominoes.

I think this fear originated from something I saw when I was a child.

My favorite movie in the en-tire world was and still is the 1997 animated film, “Anastasia.” I was about 4 years old when I was watching this one scene where the long lost princess, Anastasia, and her friends had to jump out of train that was headed for the scariest crash in both animated and live-action film history. It should have been rated R. I mean there were flying green demonic creatures that possessed the train and broke the bridge ahead, and the train then fell into what looked like a greenish, fi-ery abyss leading to hell.

Fatefully, when I was 2 years old, I began visiting my aunt who lives in a small neighborhood in Bucks County, Pa., and to get to a nearby playground, we had to cross this obscenely wide double-track railway. And now, almost 15 years later, the entrance of my home in Boston, the majestic War-ren Towers, leads me straight to the T tracks. Oh, the mind-blowing irony!

I have to cross railroad tracks sometimes five, six times a day! And there is absolutely no way I can escape it. So during my first week of classes, I decided to do something that would get rid of this impractical fear.

Sometimes, when something hurts, to relieve the pain, I have to make it hurt even more.

No, I did not attempt to get run over by the T. I did however stand on the tarmac in between the double railway tracks when all was clear. I took a long, hard look at the tracks, the fence and the pavement. Noth-ing was going to happen to me. In fact, I’m writing this to reveal the bright side that I have discovered from the joke that’s been played on my life.

Ironic happenings are not something to be taken for granted. I mean, it’s almost like a force, something magical and mystical that takes place in cold reality. We should make the best of it. And most of the time, if something iron-ic does take place in our lives, we should know how to handle it. And I’m not just talking about crossing railroad tracks.

U.S. government should not raise Pell Grant, student says

Loan Forgiveness: From Page 1

“Investing in education is ob-viously the right move because it gives kids higher paying jobs and makes people in the country smarter,” Neminski said. “In-creasing the [amount of] loans we are giving out now is obviously not a good idea because of the deficit.”

Neminski said he does not think that much in terms of stu-dent loans will change after the election.

“It is about whether or not the economy will be up or down, and if people can pay [their loans] back,” he said.

Romney said the more federal aid the government hands out, the more colleges will increase tu-ition, according to the Times.

“Tuitions across the country did increase in periods in which the Pell Grants were frozen, so it is clear that there are other factors at play,” Kriner said.

CAS freshman Bridget Daley said tuition is not increasing be-cause loans are available for stu-dents.

“Look how much tuition has risen in the past 10 years even when the Pell Grant was frozen,” she said.

Daley said Romney does not focus enough on the American middle class, which needs money the most, .

“Obama has a better under-standing and he is more con-nected with the middle class,” she said. “I think that in the long term, giving more student loans out will create more candidates for higher income jobs.

“The better the jobs and the better the candidates, the bet-ter the economy will be,”Daley added.

Lauren Costa, a sophomore in the Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, said the Pell Grant should not be in-creased, as Obama planned.

“It’s more of tax payers’ mon-ey going back into their pockets,” she said. “There are families that are eligible for loans and take a loan instead of coming up with the cash and prioritize.”

Costa said that her parents, who come from lower socioeco-nomic backgrounds, were able to put her and her three older broth-ers through school without taking out loans.

“It is extremely difficult, but it can be done,” she said. “You have to prioritize education over com-fort.”

said.“We have been going to those

alumni and friends closest to us and seeking their support before we go public with the campaign,” he said. “There will be five years of the public phase.”

Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore said the celebration will bring together members of the BU community.

“This is a historic moment for the university,” he said. “The stu-dent body is always looking for a reason to come together, and these events give them those op-portunities.”

Other students said they are happy that BU plans to fundraise and hope the money is put back into student life.

“I think it would be nice to have more gift money rather than raising tuition if they were to think about doing that, so they’d have outside money rather than just asking us students for more,” said CAS freshman Mackenzie Feeley. “If the alumni are looking to give, why not?”

MacDonald said she wants the fundraiser to lower costs for stu-dents.

“I’m happy that they’re trying to bring in money from outside

sources,” she said. “I’d like to see the tuition go down because of fundraisers.”

College of Engineering fresh-man Rodolfo Rodriguez said funds should go to financial aid and lowering tuition, as some stu-dents may be scared away from BU by its cost.

“If you’re getting more money, you can help more people with financial aid,” he said. “One of the things that might set back a student from going to BU is the high tuition and cost just to be here. We could get a lot of other top students just because the cost is a big factor.”

Manuscript find affects some Christians’ viewsBiBLe: From Page 3

could have been penned on a blank piece of ancient papyrus, which are available for purchase on the antiq-uities market.”

There are many other facts that indicate authenticity, King wrote, including that it would be very diffi-cult to forge the ink’s specific pres-ervation on the material.

Frankfurter said the manuscript is important because “wife” is an unusual word for Jesus to use to-ward a disciple.

“I think that like most discover-ies of ancient manuscripts, it will give us more information about the diversity of Christian opinions in the second century and that it won’t say much about the historical Jesus and his circle,” Frankfurter said.

Anthony Petro, assistant profes-sor of Modern Christianity at Bos-ton University, said there are a lot of questions surrounding this “ex-citing find.”

Petro said if the fragment were proven authentic, it would have re-percussions on the role of women in

the priesthood and the question of whether priests can marry.

The discovery could help people build arguments about whether or not priests should be allowed to marry, he said.

“The Catholic Church is a very old institution, and change would come very slowly, so I don’t imag-ine there would be much reaction immediately to this,” he said.

Both Petro and Frankfurter said that even if authenticated, the docu-ment is an interpretation and came after the death of Christ.

Cody Brotter, a senior in the College of Communication, said this discovery could be significant for religious followers.

“I think it’s a huge scandal that the Christians’ messiah was mar-ried,” Brotter said. “I’d like to know who this woman was. Behind every great man is an even greater wom-an.”

Emelia Thompson, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences, said she was raised Catholic and al-though she does not still attend ser-

vices regularly Catholicism is still a large part of her life.

“My opinion of Jesus isn’t at all affected by this new discovery,” she said. “The teachings and the tenants of my faith can withstand the al-leged change in marital status of the person I believe suffered and died to save me from myself.”

Ashley Acuña, a COM junior, said she is not religious and that this story does not seem entirely legiti-mate.

“I think a lot of people will be in disbelief,” she said. “They are go-ing to think, ‘how many years have gone by and I’ve never heard this story?’ It seems a bit suspicious.”

Acuña said if Jesus did in fact have a wife, it would change the Bible’s stories for her.

“I think it would change a lot of the stories had he had a female counterpart to spread the message,” she said. “She would have been es-sential or at least he [Jesus] would have paid more attention to wom-en.”

Chocolate lovers have the opportunity to indulge themselves at the sweet event thanks to the chefs of Café Fleuri, who have mastered the art of the unique dining experience. Preparation must begin Thursday morning and continue through Saturday afternoon. Everything on display, from the hot chocolate to the decorations, is homemade.

The pastry chef, Jed Hackney, said six to seven chefs are scrambling through the kitchen at the start of each Saturday, as early as 5 a.m., to prepare fresh treats for their incoming diners, which they elegantly present on decorated tables side-by-side in their large dining room.

The tables are arranged by six categories— hot chocolate, individual desserts, fondue, ice cream, cupcakes and candy.

While the large selection allows chocolate lovers to assuage their cravings, it also gives The Chocolate Bar chefs plenty of flexibility to be sensitive to the dietary preferences of all its din-ers. Those who are hesitant of not being satisfied with this un-orthodox meal due to a narrow or structured diet: don’t fret. The Langham guarantees a solution to your worries.

Hackney explains that many restaurants have omitted pea-nuts from their recipes due to those with allergies, but he “love[s] peanut desserts” and he admits he “[does not] want to give them up and [does not] think anyone else should have to.” Instead, The Langham has created a very allergenic-friendly buffet. Each dessert at The Chocolate Bar has a label listing ingredients that diners may be allergic to, such as peanuts, so diners can indulge worry-free.

The Chocolate Bar dedicates a table for vegan diners, too, with a multifarious assortment of delicious desserts. The Lang-ham’s chefs skillfully omitted animal products from classic des-serts without comprising the flavor or texture. Vegans can choose

from a plethora of deserts including banana cake, blueberry cob-bler and coconut rice pudding with mango and almonds.

For those who are adverse to chocolate desserts, there are still plenty of other options. Although chocolate is incorporated into every dessert, the flavor of chocolate is not overwhelmingly present in all of them. There are many desserts in which the chefs use chocolate by-products, such as cocoa butter, to incorporate chocolate into a dish without making it the primary flavor.

Even diners who tend to avoid rich delicacies may find them-selves tempted by The Chocolate Bar, as the chefs create choco-late desserts in all forms and flavors fathomable. Whether the diner prefers chocolate mousse, chocolate ice cream or chocolate fondue, there are plenty of desserts available of all consistencies and textures. Even chocolate powder, possibly the most unique dessert served by The Chocolate Bar, is available. Hackney de-scribed the powder as “contemporary” and shared that few res-taurants employ this technique to prepare chocolate.

Each year, The Chocolate Bar’s menu is inspired by a spe-cific theme, which restricts the number of ways the chefs can uti-lize the chocolate. This year, the chefs’ creations are inspired by chocolate intensity. The desserts are organized by the percentage of cocoa and the types of cocoa in the dessert. This innovative theme also allows the chefs to introduce new desserts as the sea-sonal flavors change. This fall, guests can look forward to pump-kin and cranberry flavors incorporated in the chocolate treats. They’re hoping this will encourage guests to come back to The Chocolate Bar multiple times throughout the chocolate season.

It is guaranteed that the service and the sinfully sugary cui-sine will not disappoint the guests. As you design your own cup-cake, you can hum along to the upbeat music and ask the staff questions, while admiring the city through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which permeate the room with natural light, cre-ating a fun and upbeat atmosphere.

Being unemployed for long enough can hurt your chances of eventually landing a job, according to an article in The Daily Beast Wednesday.

Bullhorn, a company that sells job recruit-ing-software, surveyed 1,500 job recruiters on the obstacles jobseekers face. Thirty-six percent of those surveyed said it is “difficult for an applicant to find a job if he or she is unemployed for as little as six months,” while 21 percent said that “spells of jobless-ness shorter than six months could kill your hiring prospects,” according to the article.

These results must be incredibly frustrat-ing for job seekers. Unemployment happens. The job market is flooded so businesses can afford to be more selective with their appli-cants. Not everyone who has a job today is guaranteed that job in the future. The thresh-old of excellence has risen. Employees must consistently produce good work or risk los-ing their job to someone more qualified.

Job seekers must keep in mind that some-one who hasn’t worked in several years may be out of touch with technology or other

changes happening in the workplace. Those who are unfamiliar to the infrastructure of the workplaces are going to have a more dif-ficult time securing a job.

Additionally, it is easier for a middle-aged person with a history of steady employment to find a new job than it is for a young person who left his/her job after a year, according to the article. At first, that situation seems unrealistic. However, upon giving it more thought, it begins to make sense. What if the young applicant were more qualified than the employer? An overqualified applicant may turn off an employer.

Secondly, an older applicant may have more job connections than a younger job-seeker, placing the older applicant higher on the hiring list.

While it is bad news for young job seek-ers, it is not all that surprising considering the economic climate. That said, one can only expect employers to become more open to these younger or unemployed job seekers once the economy picks up.

Unemployment woes

This Friday I went on a date with my-self. Alone, I ventured to Harvard Avenue to take the 66 Bus into Cam-

bridge. I had originally planned to adventure to that seldom-visited land across the river with my roommate.

When her plans changed, I debated, but ultimately decided to go it alone.

Freshman year, I would rather micro-wave my dinner than brave the Warren Tow-ers Dining Hall on my own. Even worse, would be to go without the shield of a laptop or book, and I always loathed finding myself in such a situation.

Yet, browsing the Pacific Island section of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, I felt completely satisfied with life. This past week has been gorgeous, clinging to summer days and giving way to fall nights. Venturing out into the largely un-explored world existing outside of my rarely popped Boston University bubble was per-fect.

After standing beneath a towering stela from Guatemala, I headed to Voltage Coffee and Art on recommendation from a friend. It is a small art gallery turned café in Kendall Square. The windows were large and full of sunshine. The barista asked me how my day was.

I ordered a vanilla latte with burnt sugar. It came with one of those pretty leaf designs in the foam, and it felt good.

I sat by myself, under a piece of abstract art I wouldn’t even attempt to understand much less critique, and watched the lattes being made, the people passing by. I left my laptop in my bag, resisted cracking open a book and let the coffee soften the edge off the need to check my phone.

I think as college students, it is easy to get trapped in our schedules here. Our weeks overturn themselves so quickly that we are often left wondering where they went. I, myself, am often guilty of the, “Well, I’m tired,” excuse or, “But, I don’t have enough time.”

Let’s face it, I am not that tired, and I just browsed my sister’s, friends’ and brother’s prom photos on Facebook. I have the time.

I want to know where the best coffee

shops are, go to a Salsa dancing class, skate on the Frog Pond, and find the smaller bars boasting live local music. This is a list that could go on indefinitely. The worst part is it isn’t even a new list, just neglected.

Every September, I tell myself I should spend more time in the city. Come Novem-ber, I have forgotten I ever had the conver-sation with myself, or I’ll push it to the re-cesses of my mind, filed under “Things I’ll get to,” adjacent to, “Where I put the all the misplaced earrings,” and seldom opened.

As a senior, this could potentially be my last year in Boston, so I’ve decided that I should actually spend some of it in Boston — no, really I am serious this time!

I have made a plan. Every Friday I will venture out somewhere new, regardless of whether or not I can acquire company. I am for the first time excited about venturing into the city on my own. Alone has become less daunting a concept. The idea has tran-sitioned seamlessly into something I look forward to.

There is something to be said for relaxing into life and enjoying watching the people pass you by. Alone means there are no other opinions to consider but your own. You can leave when you would like to, change your plans as desired, and maybe most impor-tantly, there is time to be silent, to explore your own mind. All day we shuffle from one class to the next, hunch over desks and try our best to absorb the large wealth of infor-mation that comes with college. All of this is good, but maybe this quietness of soul is better. Maybe the self-awareness that comes with spending time by yourself is just as im-portant as the time spent with professors in class.

So, next weekend go explore the Boston Public Library, or sample the offerings of the Copley Farmer’s Market. Buy yourself a fancy drink or a sunflower, and enjoy a date with Boston.

“They’re not one of the top teams right now, but they’ve done a good job being competitive … They’re athletic — they attack — so we have a challenge in front of us.”

When asked about what BU’s gameplan would be against NC State, Feldman pointed out that

the Terriers do not have a specific game plan for any specific team. “We’re still looking to establish ourselves … and get our attack going,” she said. “It’s a process, and we just want to keep building on what we’ve been doing … We certainly want to generate more scoring opportunities, continue to work on protecting the ball on at-tack, win 50–50s … and playing as

a unit defensively.”The game is scheduled to begin

at 7 p.m. at Dail Soccer Field. This game marks the last non-

conference game that the Terriers will play during the regular sea-son. After Thursday’s game, BU will return home to play The Uni-versity at Albany Sunday as Amer-ica East conference play begins.

Terriers travel to North Carolina to face challenging non-conference foe NC State

strength, posting an impressive 1.83 goals per game.

Although Hofstra has had a multitude of contributions from its squad to start off with a good record, two players stick out from the pack as the ones the Terriers should key on during their game this Thursday.

Juniors Chris Griebsch and Tyler Botte pose offensive threats against the depleted Terrier de-fense.

Griebsch, originally from Ger-many, started his career at Hofstra in 2009.

Since then, he has put up an im-pressive resume.

In 2011, he was selected for the Third Team of the All-Colonial Athletic Association and posted four goals and 10 assists which put him at the top of the team in points for the season.

His 10 assists also put him at the top of the CAA.

Griebsch has excelled for the Pride this year as well, as he has three goals and as many assists in the early part of the year.

Botte is more of a local product, residing in North Babylon, N.Y., about 20 minutes from Hofstra.

The junior emerged last year as a great weapon for the Pride at-tack. In the 2011–2012 campaign, he started in 15 games, scoring

four goals, while only taking 12 shots.

This season through six games, Botte already has three goals and one assist.

His seven points are second on the team behind Griebsch.

Botte’s impressive start to the season has earned him Big Apple Soccer’s Player of the week for his recent performances against Bing-hamton University and The Uni-versity at Albany.

Although these two players pose serious threats to the Terriers, Roberts said he does not want the team to focus solely on them.

“We can’t just key on one guy on their team,” Roberts said. “They have a lot of guys that are good and can move the ball around.”

Not only does Hofstra boast an excellent offense, but its defense holds as well.

The defense is only allowing one goal per game and keeping op-ponents’ goals-per-game average at .094.

When talking about Hofstra’s defense, Roberts easily found a comparison with recent opponent Brown.

“They’re more like Brown — they’re physical,” he said. “We’ll have a totally different game-plan than this. We have to switch things up a bit if we want to come out on top.”

BU returns to compete at the ECAC Championship in Egg Har-bour, N.J., on Sept. 28 and 29.

Cross CountryAmerica East announced that

junior Rich Peters of the BU men’s cross country team was named America East Performer of the Week on Tuesday.

Peters won the University of New Hampshire Invitational meet on Sept. 14 with his finishing time of 25:07.81 minutes. That time was more than a minute faster than the closest finisher to him, and his average mile time of 5:03.4 minutes was nearly 13 sec-onds faster than the second-place finisher.

It was Peters’ first race of the sea-son, as he did not compete at the Bry-ant University Invitational meet on Sept. 8.

Partly thanks to Peters’ effort on Friday, the Terriers won their second-consecutive team title and are 2–0 on the season.

The Terriers next race is Sept. 28 at the Lehigh Invitational meet.

FieLd hoCkey: From page 8

During the loss to Syracuse, BU mainly played defense, allow-ing the Orange to take shot after shot, which eventually led to the goals.

This will be another test to see how the team will fare against an-other top team in the country.

At the moment, BU is in con-

tention with Northeastern Uni-versity for an at-large bid in the NCAA Field Hockey Tournament.

If the Terriers were to pull off the upset and have a win like this on their resume, it would not only help them in the rankings to pos-sibly even jump ahead of North-eastern, but it would increase their chances of making the tour-nament.

to start at the CEO level, at the op-erators who are going to have these contracts,” he said. “They have to believe it.”

Jodie Baier, program manager of the Women’s Business Enter-prise National Council, said includ-ing women is simply necessary in today’s economy.

“Women-owned businesses are a strong player in the economy, and by getting more business to the women-owned businesses we are increasing our economic strength,” she said.

Baier said she strongly encour-aged companies to engage in hiring and sourcing women-owned busi-nesses in their business ventures.

These businesses generate $1 trillion in revenue, she said, which accounts for 4 percent of U.S. rev-enue.

Female-owned businesses ac-count for 8 million employees — about 6 percent of all employees, she said.

Baier said hiring women was the right thing to do from a public relations and social responsibility standpoint.

Reggie Nunnaley, executive director of the Massachusetts Sup-plier Diversity Office and the mod-erator of the panel, said the Mas-sachusetts Gaming Commission should make diversity a priority when hiring.

“You have an awesome respon-sibility for the development of the economic impact on the state of Massachusetts,” he said. “We en-courage that you take the time to dot all your i’s and cross all your t’s to make sure you get it right the first time.”

feedback about the design of the proposed skate park, said Charles River Conservancy President Re-nata von Tscharner to The Daily Free Press.

“We want people in this meet-ing to understand the timeline of this project,” she said. “It is a long process that has not been easy.”

The CRC contracted Action Sport Design and Stantec in Au-gust to update and finalize the project design and oversee con-struction of the skate park, ac-cording to the CRC website.

Tscharner said they are break-ing ground for the park on Thurs-

day.Planning for the skate park be-

gan in 2001, when the CRC hired skate park designer Zach Worm-houdt. In 2007, CRC contracted designer and builder Gridline to process the design.

“In 2008, CRC raised two and a half million dollars, enough for the skate park,” Tscharner said.

However, most progress and planning stopped because of the poor condition of the economy, she said.

A recent Memorandum of Agreement between CRC and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation al-lowed the skate park design pro-

cess to move forward, she said.CRC plans to host a second

public meeting on Oct. 10, when ASD/Stantec will share with the community what they have come up with from suggestions of the public, according to the CRC website.

MacDonald said during the meeting that it is difficult to build a skate park in a city, and he is looking forward to the final prod-uct.

“This has never been done in Boston before,” he said. “It is hard to do this in any city, and usually takes this long. This is a gnarly project.”

After two consecutive home games, the Boston University men’s soccer team will once again take on an out-of-conference op-ponent, this time venturing to Long Island, N.Y., to take on Hofstra University Saturday night.

The game follows the team’s first two games at Nickerson Field in which BU (2–4–2) went 1–1.

The Terriers dropped the first home game of the year to No. 24 Brown University 1–0 in overtime, but bounced back nicely with a 4–0 drubbing over The College of the Holy Cross.

The team’s loss to Brown University left the Terriers without freshman defender Je-roen Blugh, who injured his leg in the game.

The injury came back to haunt BU, as Blugh’s injury, along with the previous in-jury to junior defender Kelvin Madzongwe, left the BU defense on the small side.

Brown used its height to its advantage over the smaller BU back line, setting up 6-foot-3 defender Tim Whalen in the box off a free kick to knock in the game-winning goal in overtime.

In the win over Holy Cross, redshirt freshmen forwards Mac McGuire and Parker Powell had two goals and one, respectively, while senior midfielder Michael Bustamante scored the other.

Sophomore goalkeeper Nick Thomson recorded his second shutout of the season in the victory, making only one save in the game.

The one save he made in the game was a very impressive one though, as he dove

across the goal mouth to snatch a shot from Holy Cross midfielder Monty Sanders.

Also impressing in the game was junior midfielder Anthony Ciccone, who notched two assists in the effort. Ciccone sent a pic-ture-perfect cross to Bustamante for the first goal before setting up McGuire for the third.

When asked about how his team would handle being on the road again, BU coach Neil Roberts said playing on the road would not be too much of a concern for the Terri-ers, who had become road warriors in the early stages of the season.

“I don’t think our guys will have a prob-lem on the road,” he said. “They know how to handle it.”

After a brief home stint in which the Boston University women’s soccer team fell to the University of Massachusetts 1–0, the Terriers will head down to Raleigh, N.C., to take on the North Carolina State University Wolfpack Thursday.

This will be the first ever match between BU and NC State, as both teams look to move on from three-game losing streaks.

BU (3–5–1) is coming off a rough stretch in which the team has dropped games to Stanford University, Santa Clara Univer-sity and the University of Massachusetts. Offensive futility has been a major factor in the Terriers’ recent skid, as the team has been shut out over the last three games with identical final scores of 1–0. In the prior six games, the Terriers had found the back of the net 12 times.

BU coach Nancy Feldman said she has focused on improving the offense of the team during practice.

“We’re just continuing and trying to im-prove on things,” Feldman said. “[We are] trying to have better goal-scoring opportu-nities and creating more goals.”

In spite of their ineffective offensive play over the last three games, five Terriers have scored at least two goals this season, including senior midfielder Brea Hewitt, who leads the team with five points on the year.

Juniors Madison Clemens and Emma Clark, sophomore Jamie Turchi and fresh-man Jenna Fisher are the other Terriers that have recorded two goals. Sophomore for-ward Taylor Krebs leads the team with three assists.

Junior goalkeeper Andrea Green has con-tinued to be solid in net, recording 44 saves on the season while holding a 1.06 goals-against average and a .815 save percentage.

NC State (5–5–0) hosts BU after its own disappointing losing streak, in which the Wolfpack lost to the University of Kansas, No. 9 Virginia University and No. 8 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. NC State has a potent offense, as nine dif-ferent players have scored for the Wolfpack, with freshman Brittany Stanko leading the way with four goals.

Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Victo-ria Hopkins has started every game for the Wolfpack, compiling a 1.72 goals-against average and a .734 save percentage.

NC State Coach Steve Springthorpe is in his fourth season with the Wolfpack and has a 30–34–4 record with the team.

As BU prepares for the game on Thurs-day, Feldman said, the Terriers cannot take the Wolfpack lightly.

“They’re a strong opponent,” she said. “They play in the premier conference in the country for women’s soccer [ACC]. They play with and against great competition.

The Boston University softball team has be-gun its fall schedule of the 2012–13 academic year on a positive note. The reigning America East championship team holds a record of 2–0 and has outscored its opponents 7–1 under first-year head coach Kathryn Gleason.

In a double-header on Sept. 15, the Terriers defeated Providence College 5–1, before shut-ting out Bryant University 2–0. By the end of September, BU will also have played a pair of games against two in-city rivals — Boston Col-lege and Harvard University.

Gleason has recently announced the addi-tion of a new assistant coach, Suzie Rzegocki, a former pitcher for Purdue University. A gradu-ate of the Class of 2011, Rzegocki had an im-pressive career at Purdue that included seven school records.

With its revamped coaching staff, BU hopes to match its 2011–12 campaign wherein it won

41 games and earned a spot in the NCAA Tour-nament.

TennisBU men’s tennis began its season Sept. 14,

when the team travelled to Providence, R.I., for the three-day Brown Invitational. Of the seven singles flights played by Terriers during the In-vitational, five resulted in two wins and one loss apiece. Each of BU’s four doubles flights, how-ever, resulted in two-matches-to-one setbacks.

Seniors Alex Hallenbeck and Josh Fried-man, sophomore Emilio Teran and freshmen Brandon Phan and Eric Miller each took a pair of matches in their respective flights while dropping one.

Each BU individual and pair accrued at least one victory within their flight.

The women’s tennis team officially begins its season Friday, when the players travel to Providence for their own edition of the Brown Invitational.

GolfThe BU women’s golf team has begun its

season with a pair of top-two finishes. At the Bucknell Invitational in Lewisburg, Pa., the Terriers, led by an individual title from sopho-more Kristyna Pavlickova, finished in first of 15 with a final team score of 930. Pavlickova racked up a personal score of 220.

Rookies also played a large part in the Ter-riers’ win in Lewisburg. Freshmen Maddy Sil-verman and Emily Tillo scored 232 and 241, respectively, in their collegiate debuts.

In addition to placing first, BU led all teams in birdies (21), and achieved a school record in low score for a day, with 304.

On Sunday, the No. 12 Boston Universi-ty field hockey team returns to Jordan Field to take on another tough, ranked opponent in No. 7 University of Virginia.

So far this season, BU (6–2) is 2–1 against ranked opponents.

Earlier in September, the Terriers de-feated the No. 23 Boston College, but could not do the same against No. 2 Syra-cuse University.

The Terriers are coming off of a vic-tory in double overtime Tuesday afternoon against then-No. 25 University of Massa-chusetts.

Freshman forward Rachel Coll was the heroine of the game as she knocked in the game-winning goal 51 seconds into the second overtime.

Before its win over Massachusetts, BU was in a bit of a skid after its 5–0 start.

After losing to Syracuse on Sept. 9, the Terriers traveled to Williamsburg, Va., to take on No. 20 The College of William & Mary.

In the game, BU could not overcome the 1–0 deficit and was upset by the Tribe.

Now that they have snapped their short losing streak and “[got] back on the sad-dle,” as BU coach Sally Starr said in an interview following Tuesday’s game, the Terriers are looking forward to their match with Virginia (7–2) and will be the ones trying to make the upset.

“University of Virginia is an outstand-ing team,” Starr said about her team’s next opponent. “They have some girls that can really play.”

Sunday’s game will be a good test on multiple levels for the Terriers.

The first is to see whether or not they have taken what they have learned from playing such a tough, top-ranked team as Syracuse.

Although the Terriers played a great game and kept the Orange from scoring un-til there was less than 11 minutes remain-ing in regulation, they have shown the ca-pability to compete at a high level.

Their downfall against Syracuse was their conditioning — Something Starr not-ed after the loss.

“[We are looking to] make sure we’re healthy and ready to compete for 70 min-utes and to take advantage of scoring op-portunities,” Starr said.

During the Terriers’ game against Mas-sachusetts, they were unable to take advan-tage of each of their scoring opportunities.

By the end of the game, the Terriers held a shot advantage of 26–11 and a corner ad-vantage of 13––4.

The Minutewomen had impressive goal-keeping in the game, but the Terriers failed to convert on the opportunities they created for themselves.

Therefore, a big key to how well BU does against the Cavaliers is whether the team stays in the attack mindset it started against UMass.

Against Syracuse, the Terriers failed to get into an attack mentality until the fi-nal minutes of regulation and by that time they were down by two goals and could not overcome the deficit.

That is yet another reason why Starr would like to see her team play a complete game.
