BEST MALE ATHLETE
In the spirit of the "table of brotherhood" described by Martin Luther King, Jr. in his March on Washington speech, two leaders on the opposite ends of the political spectrum engaged in a debate over several hot issues Wednesday night at Alumni Arena.
There was a solid class of candidates for treasurer, all of whom want to restore fiscal sense and spending restraint to the Student Association. Of the eligible candidates, The Spectrum feels the most qualified to lead and put a strong system in place is Lorenzo Guzman.
A distinguished writer holds the ability to deliver her words with clarity, depth, and a full spectrum of emotions.
Standing in front of Professor Gerald Goldhaber's political communications class Thursday, Dean of Informatics David Penniman said the class would continue without Goldhaber and that a decision will be made soon regarding the popular professor, who was arrested with two students Jan. 8 on drug charges in the Cayman Islands.

For the last dozen years, the Buffalo community has come together to raise money and awareness for anti-rape safety and remember the tragic death of Linda Yalem, the UB student raped and murdered while jogging on the Ellicott bike path. Despite being an enormous success within both the university and Western New York community, the Student Association has decided to withdraw their funding from the event until consulting with the Yalem family.
The Undergraduate Student Association and Sub-Board I, Inc., the parent corporation for many UB student services, clashed often this summer in the halls and meeting rooms of the Student Union - resulting in some serious changes in the authority and scope of student governments across campus.
I'm writing to express my disappointment and frustration over newly elected SA President George Pape's decision to seek withdrawal of SA funds from the Sub-Board I venture. I had thought SA's crap would have finished with the exit of Chris Oliver, but it seems it has just begun.
The man most directly responsible for bringing Division-I athletics to the University at Buffalo is now taking over one of the school's most struggling programs.
I did not know what I was getting in to. In sharp contrast to many of the things I have done with my life, there was no plan. No course of action. There was no chess match in my mind, where one facilitates a plan and then, based on the anticipated reactions of the parties involved, accomplishes a goal.
The student body has failed once more to play an active role in student government at UB, as this year's elections will offer students a choice of only nine candidates for a total of seven positions.
A UB student has been arrested and suspended indefinitely from his position on the football team after he was charged with the rape of a female student.
The Student Association Senate rejected a proposal, 14-2, on Wednesday from members of The Spectrum's editorial board that would allow a referendum on the SA general election ballot in March. The referendum would have allowed undergraduate students to vote on whether to raise The Spectrum Student Subscription Fee by $2 per semester.
Students coming in late. Cell phones ringing. People chatting with their neighbors. Confusion over what is going on and who is saying what.
Late last semester, "Down with Whitey" or "White on White," a performance piece organized by myself, took place in the Center for the Arts atrium and was commented on by The Spectrum, in both article and editorial form. The following is a synopsis of the project, which I feel addresses certain misconceptions about the intentions behind the piece. Following the synopsis I have appended a "collective utterance" which reflects a broad consensus of opinion within the student body of the Art Department, and which demonstrates a growing interest in community there.
Mike Flatt's Nov. 18 review of the new Pearl Jam album was quite disturbing. In this review he includes Eddie Vedder "among the greatest artists of the twentieth century." This is quite possibly the stupidest comment ever printed in The Spectrum! Pearl Jam sucks! I will never understand why people glorify this band as being so great. Pearl Jam has not had one hit off their last three albums, and I'm sure this new one won't be any different, considering the disappointing new single. This means that their last hit was from their 1994 album Vitalogy; eight years without a hit! Four albums of horrible music, not even good enough to be played on the radio! Wow, Vedder must be a musical genius! Pearl Jam are rock gods! I don't freakin' think so! If having one good album (Ten), and two mediocre albums (Vs and Vitalogy) entitles Pearl Jam to have "legendary" status, I guess we can compare U2 with Beethoven!
I would like to comment on Mr. White's letter in the Sept. 20 issue of The Spectrum in which he accused the collective university community of having a liberal bias. Dear Mr. White and associates, welcome to New York State. The majority of all registered voters here are Democrats and a good 6 percent of all voters voted for Ralph Nader, the Green Party presidential candidate, in 2000. This means that as Republicans you are unfortunately forced to enjoy a minority status. As such, you will often encounter liberal ideas being published and mentioned in various forms around campus. It is also a known fact that educational institutions like UB tend to have a larger percentage of objective and liberal people, as this in a way is a natural result of a broad education and very well staffed departments.
On Wednesday Aug. 28, The Spectrum reported the nullified GSA election last semester. At the same time, their editorial addressed student apathy. I am delighted to see the problems of student government finally get attention. However, the report missed important information and offered an unrealistic solution.
