Men, Women’s diving coach recalls former Olympic glory, coaching By Sydney Pereira
Between Sept. 6 and 8, 1992 Olympic Silver Medalist and NYU Diving head coach Scott Donie coached at the Olympic Performance Squad Camp in Moultrie, Ga. Donie helped the U.S. Diving team find the best pairs for the men’s 10 meter platform synchronized diving event. Of the nation’s top divers, 26 attended. Steve Foley, the high performance director for U.S. Diving, explained the other objectives of the camp. “To assist with targeting medals, it is vital [U.S.] Diving brings together our best men’s platform divers to an assessment camp so we can mix and match our champions of the future with the aim of selecting the best partnerships that can challenge for world and Olympic medals,” Foley said. As one of the coaches at the Olympic Performance Squad Camp, Donie worked as an assessor, mentor and coach to the divers with hopes to qualify for the 2016 Olympics. His Olympic experience would help give the divers the upper hand. “I am really looking forward to helping the young, up-and-coming
divers prepare as they pursue their Olympic dreams,” Donie said. “I was in their shoes as I came up through the sport, and I hope to give them an edge by sharing my knowledge and experience with them.” Donie competed for almost 20 years after he began diving at 8 years old. Donie was coached by Jim Stillson, who currently coaches at Southern Methodist University, with Ron O’Brien and Randy Ableman, who currently coaches at The University of Miami. “I was lucky to be coached by some of the best diving coaches in the world,” Donie said. “All three [coaches] had a profound impact on me personally and the coach that I am today.” While training for the 1996 Olympics, Donie worked as an assistant coach at the University of Miami. Eventually, he took over as head coach of the NYU men’s and women’s diving team in the 2000-2001 season. This season is Donie’s 14th year coaching the men’s and women’s diving team. “My career at NYU is so incredible,” Donie said. “I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with

Mayoral candidates send letter to NYU By Nicole Brown
Mayoral candidates sent a letter on Friday, Sept. 6 to NYU President John Sexton urging him and the administration to recognize graduate, research and teaching assistants’ rights to unionize. Christine Quinn, Bill de Blasio, Bill Thompson, John Liu and Sal Albanese support the graduate workers ability to collectively bargain in their letter. Collective bargaining rights would allow them to negotiate the benefits they receive from NYU, including health care. Last academic year, there were cuts in health care for some of these employees. “We value the contributions the university makes to our city as an institution of higher education and as an economic engine,” the letter said. “However, we find the years of delaying the rights of all graduate employees to choose union representation unacceptable.” NYU GAs, RAs and TAs are represented by the Graduate Student Organizing Committee-United Auto Workers Local 2110 Union. The union’s most recent protest occurred last May when the union delivered an open letter to Sexton. The union did not receive a response to this letter. In response to the letter, NYU spokesman John Beckman said this issue is more complex than what the letter suggests. He said last year the administration made an offer to the union, but it was rejected. Graduate student and former TA Brady Fletcher said the offer would exclude RAs, which is

Students hope to start university-wide legal fraternity By Bailey Evans
In an effort to create a community for pre-law students, CAS seniors Sonia Gupta and Brittany Sherman and CAS junior Ben Gilbert established Phi Alpha Delta, a pre-law school fraternity, at NYU. “We found out there’s an actual pre-law fraternity, and it’s international,” Gupta said. “Everybody has it but NYU.” The registration process, however, has been slow. To launch, clubs require approval from the CAS Student
Council Board, as well as 20 interested members. But a national chapter of PAD, said the founders, would create an enriching professional community that is lacking. Because there is no specific pre-law track that allows students to be in the same classes, there is little opportunity for communication among like-minded students. “For pre-business you all take the same classes, but for pre-law you can take philosophy classes, any type of

With the news that Australian comedian Chris Lilley is reviving his character of bratty, private-school girl Ja’mie King for his new series, catch up on Lilley’s other show “Summer Heights High.” Only eight episodes long, this 2008 HBO comedy is one of the most insanely hilarious, unforgettable and surprisingly heartbreaking shows you’ll ever have the pleasure of watching.

‘Pippin’
‘The Mindy Project’ Isabel Jones
Regardless of what critics may say, “The Mindy Project” is hilarious. With A-list guest stars galore and former “The Office” star Mindy Kaling, what’s not to like? The second season will include a multi-episode arc with the great James Franco. In the comedy void that is 2013 network television, it’s worth checking out this underrated gem.
‘Shame’
Alex Greenberger Many critics at the Toronto Film Festival have pegged Steve McQueen’s “12 Years a Slave” as an early Academy Awards Best Picture front-runner, and to know what all the fuss is about before seeing it in the theater, see McQueen’s previous film, “Shame,” first. This sexually explicit and unusually moving portrait of a sex addict played by Michael Fassbender is disturbing yet hard to look away from. See “Shame,” take a cold shower, then prepare for the intensity of “12 Years a Slave.”
Dylan Jarrett If you’re looking for high-flying circus stunts — without the looming risk of actor injuries — look no further than “Pippin,” currently playing at the Music Box Theatre. A revival of the ‘70s hit about a young prince looking for his purpose in life, this musical has been revamped by director Diane Paulus and given a remarkably fresh and fantastic circus theme. The production is bright, brilliant, touching and absolutely not to be missed.
‘Homeland’ Jake Folsom
The “Homeland” season two finale was an explosive one. Not just on the screen, but also on the Internet, spawning controversy and dozens of reaction pieces. Some say the show has spiraled into implausibility, and others argue it was always that way. Wherever you fall on the issue, make sure you’re caught up in time for the show’s Season Three premiere on Sept. 29.

It earned “Best Choreography” at the 2012 Tony awards, but the dancing is only part of the magic and fun of Disney’s musical “Newsies,” playing at the Nederlander Theatre. Based on a film of the same name, the show is nearly two hours of show tunes and performances reminiscent of old-fashioned Broadway. It’s a cute story of a young group of “newsies” who form a union and strike against newspaper tycoon Joseph Pulitzer. The “David and Goliath”-type story is predictable but sweet in its familiarity.

Letter to NYU calls for bargaining rights
why the union did not agree. “We are not going to take the opportunity to have rights for some, while excluding others from having the same rights to collectively bargain,” Fletcher said. Fletcher added that there are other research institutions where RAs are unionized, and the union believes it only makes universities more competitive. But Beckman said the administration is not convinced that RAs should receive collective bargaining. “The research conducted by RAs is typically funded by external grants, contributes to their own thesis work and directly advances their degrees,” Beckman said. “The idea that a student’s progress towards his or her degree might be governed by a collective bargaining relationship is troubling to us.” Beckman said the administration wants to wait for the official position of the National Labor Relations Board on which employees qualify for collective bargaining and that their position has changed three times in the last 12 years. Fletcher said NYU does not need to wait for the NLRB’s position, as it does not have jurisdiction over the university. “It’s a really basic right to be able to negotiate with your employer over basic things like health care,” Fletcher said. Beckman said the administration plans to respond. Nicole Brown is a news editor. Additional reporting by Emily Bell and Michael Domanico. Email them at news@nyunews.com.

MTA plans to increase L train service By Lucas Dos Santos
The Metropolitan Transit Authority announced last week it would add trains to the L subway line due to increased ridership. MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said the specifics of the project were still uncertain but that the MTA hopes to increase service during peak morning hours. “This project was only devised a few weeks ago, and has to go before the [Board of Directors] before anything is implemented,” Ortiz said. The L, which extends from Brooklyn to the west side of Manhattan, is one of the fastest growing lines on the subway system, according to the MTA. “We constantly monitor ridership,” Ortiz said. “It’s been rising since 1998. As far as ridership increase, there’s nothing like it.” Mitchell Moss, director of NYU’s Walter Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management, said the L train has spurred population growth all along its path. “Williamsburg has emerged as a major destination for arts and culture,” Moss said. “Today, Brooklyn is widely regarded as the place for young people to live. All of my graduate student researchers now live in Brooklyn, and it continues to attract new start-up businesses as well.” Rowen Darrell, a CAS senior who rides the L every day from Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway to NYU and back, said the upgraded train service is desperately needed. “There are times when I have to frantically run between doors, trying to get into the train, just squeezing my way in or pushing somebody inside,” Dar-
rell said. “You don’t want to wait for the next train.” Brooklyn resident Thomas Hill, 32, said the moderate crowd at the Bedford Avenue stop was unusual compared to the normal hordes of people. “There’s usually tons of people here, lined up,” Hill said. This is not the first time the MTA has upped train frequency on the L. In June 2012, the MTA announced the addition of 98 weekly round trips on the L line, an in-
crease that cost $1.7 million over the past year. However, Darrell said he has yet to see much improvement. “The MTA likes to drag out their plans quite a bit,” Darrell said. “Hopefully three years from now, we’ll see another increase in the number of trains. Right now, I’m not too hopeful for the L line.” Lucas Dos Santos is a contributing writer. Email him at news@nyunews.com.

Tisch prof’s book focuses on social media, photojournalism By Marina Zheng
With social media platforms such as Instagram attracting over 150 million users and smartphones providing professional camera quality, one can argue that anybody can be a photojournalist nowadays. But if you ask Fred Ritchin, a professor of photography and imaging at the Tisch School of the Arts and former picture editor at The New York Times, he’ll disagree. In his book “Bending the Frame: Photojournalism, Documentary, and the Citizen,” which was published in June, Ritchin looks toward the future of photojournalism, and explores how people take pictures that leave marks on society. “I think the whole point of jour-
nalism is trying to be useful to society,” Ritchin said. “So if we simply get elaborate photographs of explosions and bombs, does that advance our understanding of the world? What would advance the understanding of the world?” Photojournalism, Ritchin believes, is not simply about putting a subject in the center of a picture. It requires streaming images together to tell a story in a way that combines all forms of media, such as sound and text. “A photojournalist is more like a film director,” he said. “And a film director doesn’t just point a camera and say ‘here’s my film.’” But in a world where technology is readily available, this point-andshoot scenario is exactly what is happening. The result is an abundance
of pictures circulating through the Internet, social media and more. Ritchin believes this amount is too much for society’s own good. “If nobody filters and contextualizes the images, then we don’t know what they mean,” Ritchin said. “What concerns me is if we get to a point where the 21st century is the century of images. We don’t just want images.” In this case, the less-is-more and quality-over-quantity ideologies apply. In Ritchin’s book, he argues that if we can’t focus and concentrate the flow of images we have, then we have nothing to base our discussions on. “Professor Ritchin is correct in the fact that we are inundated with images, and this consequently gives individual images less value,” Bayeté Ross Smith, a professor of photography at Tisch, said. “However, I don’t
think the solution is to scale back the amount of images we deal with. I believe we have to think of more sophisticated and creative ways to present these images, in order for them to resonate more with the public.” “It’s not necessarily good or bad that there are so many images out there,” CAS freshmen Larry Wu said. “It just means that there is a wider range of photos that could have a potential impact.” The goal of present and future photojournalists, Ritchin believes, is to be the filters that sift through these countless images based on certain criteria. It is the ability to do so that sets a journalist apart from just another photographer. “We should be trying to figure out on what basis we choose the 20 [images] that people should look at,” Ritchin said. “And we must do so in a logical, coherent
and transparent way.”

classes,” Gilbert said. “There’s no real community.” Currently, resources for students are limited to the pre-law society and an undergraduate law society, said Gupta. And they focus more on what it takes to be pre-law, not how to do it. Applying to law school could be daunting, said the founders, and PAD wants to help students alleviate that stress. “An alumni network for the undergraduates would give mentors and connections… [and] career opportunities beyond law school,” CAS pre-law freshman Simone Leiro said. “Being surrounded by people who are on the same path as you could offer a support system.” In order to create the kind of community they are looking for, Gilbert is reaching out to potential members and other law schools via Twitter and Facebook.

Visitors to Bodybeautiful receive a glass of wine before making their way to the show space, where a pile of debris on the floor greets the viewer, the meaning of which is initially confusing. However, it is a part of the show. Bodybeautiful, an exhibit with a mishmash of media such as video, collage, drawings and performance, is meant to explore and emphasize the ridiculous and absurd aspects of being a woman. The exhibit was created by Katya Grokhovsky, a Ukrainian immigrant who uses her body as a medium for her art. In the video presentation, she addresses expectations of female bodies and the search for belonging. The viewer can feel Grokhovsky’s sense of claustrophobia, and they almost become trapped in the work themselves, which contributes to the idea of being trapped in our bodies and being forced to conform to American ideals of femininity. “This has a lot to do with being a woman in a certain body and a feeling of ‘I should be thinner, I should be this, I should be that’ and ‘I just can’t,’” Grokhovsky said, who has a background in fashion and dance. “There is a feminine aspect and gender exploration aspect that everyone should be able to connect with,” show curator Peter Gynd said. Gynd worked with Grokhovsky as the season opening artist last year and returned to curate Bodybeautiful. Grokhovsky’s work comments on the sadness and humor in all things inherently ‘feminine.’ “You should walk away with a feeling that there is no object or subject you can’t touch,” she said. “You are free to explore the darkest, deepest thoughts and emotions in any medium.” Much of the exhibit may be confusing, but this ambiguity is Grokhovsky’s intent. “You should walk away with questions, not answers. That is the point of art. It should start a conversation,” Grokhovsky said. Grokhovsky’s conceptual art show will resonate with art connoisseurs and amateurs alike. Bodybeautiful is showing from Sept. 5 through Oct. 10. Grokhovsky will perform live Oct. 3 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Galerie Protégé at 197 Ninth Ave. Aziza Ingram is a contributing writer.

International law
U.S. abuses Geneva Convention loopholes By Peter Keffer
Following the March 2013 transition of the Parwan detention facility at Bagram Air Base from American hands to Afghani ones, interviews conducted by the Afghan Analysts Network of exdetainees have suggested that very few significant changes have been made within the prison. The United States still appears to be in an administrative role and retains the authority to interrogate prisoners. The interviews also claim the existence of a U.S.-controlled site known as Tor Jail, where prisoners are held for interrogation and are allegedly subjected to arbitrary sleep deprivation before transfer to Bagram. The method by which the Department of Defense has responded to these allegations has indicated a distinct shift in how the United States justifies state practice and shows an implicit growing concern for international law. U.S. Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale told AAN that the United States has “a number of locations which are classified for obvious security reasons, for transiting and screening, which, as you know, is recognized and specifically mentioned by Geneva, but they are not undisclosed or ‘secret.’” Breasseale’s appeal to the
Geneva Convention marks an anomaly in U.S. rhetoric when accused of illegality in its treatment of prisoners and the existence of classified sites. Rather than being dismissed as non-applicable, the administration has employed the Convention to justify the existence of Tor Jail by insisting it is merely a place for transiting and screening prisoners — a claim nevertheless negated by the exdetainee accounts. A decade ago executive powers in Washington D.C. maintained — falsely — that the detainees of Guantánamo Bay were not entitled to any of the protections of the Geneva Conventions. The rationale of the Bush administration is a far cry from today’s justification. The interviews within the AAN report, however, expose today’s justification as a legal shield to hide the conduct which the Convention prohibits. The reports include one particularly exposing ex-detainee interview — “There was a camera on my face and … whenever I closed my eyes, they would come
very fast … and shout at me.” Such an account satisfies definitions of “cruel, inhuman or degrading” punishments under both the Geneva Convention and the Convention Against Torture. Both documents bear American signatures. Yet, despite all of this American ink, the signatory has yet to accept the necessary international jurisdiction, and hence all possible accountability for alleged violations. Regardless, a lack of legal liability does not negate the existence of these alleged crimes nor the guilt which they accompany. The United States’ distinctive immunity is not a permanent one. A Department of Defense spokesman has made a case pursuant to the Geneva Convention. This is an implicit recognition that there is a compelling need to begin justifying state practice in reference to human rights law. Breasseale’s justification is evidence of a trajectory toward a world where the concept of international justice encompasses the world’s leading powers. *The original version of this column appeared in Peter Keffer’s blog on Aug. 21, 2013 Peter Keffer is a deputy opinion editor.

Environmental Policy
NYC should enact stricter plastic bag policy By Harry Brown
As the school year continues, the inevitable trip to Staples serves as a ritual pastime. However, when taking their plastic bags from the checkout, many customers fail to recognize what a controversial act this is. Currently going through the City Council is a bill aimed directly at the overuse of plastic bags in New York City, pitting business leaders squarely against environmental activists. It has long been recognized that the plastic bag is detrimental to the environment. Taking centuries to decompose, plastic bags have been devastating marine settings and taking up landfill space for generations. New Yorkers alone use over 5.2 billion plastic bags every year. In the last decade, cities across the globe, including Mumbai, Mexico City and Seattle, have adopted legislation to combat this unnecessary environmental disaster. They have cultivated a bring-your-own-bag culture, using shrewd policies such as hiding plastic bags out of public view and giving incentives for customers who bring their own. New York is missing on this list. For

a city and mayor known for their quick adoption of progressive environmental and health issues — from banning trans fats in restaurants to prohibiting smoking in all commercial areas — this city lags far behind others in improving the state of the shopping bag. According to Wal-Mart, the largest retailer to back BYOB since late 2007, if every person in New York City used just one less grocery bag per year, it would reduce waste by 125,000 pounds per year. However, countless reform attempts over the years have been stymied by business and consumer concerns. After the last failed attempt at reform in 2008 by Mayor Bloomberg, two City Council members, Margaret Chin and Brad Lander, have decided to co-sponsor a bill, which would introduce a 10 cent minimum charge on each bag used. The bill intends to curb the city’s ever-increasing demand for plastic bags in hopes of encouraging consumers to
switch tack and buy a reusable bag. Of course, local business leaders have come out in masses to protest against another green initiative. However, the environmental benefits clearly outweigh business concerns. Looking west as an example, San Francisco’s Office of Economic Analysis released a study shortly before the city’s introduction of the ban on plastic bags. The study demonstrated that retailers are the primary beneficiaries, as it directly reduces their overhead costs and gives them the opportunity of providing alternative reusable bags. In addition, New York City spends approximately $10 million a year on moving plastic bags to landfills, which could better be utilized elsewhere if consumers switched to a sustainable alternative. The plastic bag has been synonymous with shopping since its incarnation. It has become a blight on the eco-friendly city Bloomberg is so keen to portray New York as to the world. It is now time to rip the connection between the plastic bag and shopping. Chin and Lander’s bill is a step in the right direction, but more can, and should, be done.
