When Cayden Mak applied for his New York State driver's license, he questioned if what happened in the DMV office was legal.
I didn't dress up for UBCon - UB's own massive anime/gaming convention - this weekend. I didn't even know it was going on until I saw some Facebook statuses and tweets on Friday night. But when I strolled into the Student Union to get The Spectrum ready to print this rainy Sunday morning, there were dozens of people donning dozens of quirky costumes, consumed by character, galvanized for a day full of festivities.
On March 23, former UB Law Professor Jeffrey Malkan filed a civil rights lawsuit against Law School Dean Makau W. Mutua in the federal District Court of Buffalo. The suit alleges that two months after Mutua became dean in 2008, he illegally fired Malkan by violating Malkan's right to due process under the 14th Amendment and barring Malkan access to a mandatory faculty review procedure.
Today (Wednesday) marks the deadline for the UB chapter of the InterVarsity Christian Fellowship to submit an amended constitution to the UB Student Association, but the group won't yield to all the SA's stipulations, thus risking derecognition and a possible court battle.

The club members sit in front of the panel of SA Senate officials – sweaty palms, hearts racing. This moment has been pending for months; the three clubs before this club have been victorious. Will they meet the same fate? The painfully long moment finally comes to an end – the verdict has been reached. Seven vote yes, none vote no, and three are undecided.
Today's top story is an interview between Spectrum Editor in Chief Matthew Parrino and UB President Satish K. Tripathi. That interview was originally scheduled between Tripathi and me.

The Intervarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) must get rid of the "basis of faith" that its officers must subscribe to if it wants to maintain its status as a Student Association-recognized club.
The Student Association suspended the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship until further notice on Friday, and two days later, the SA Senate created an investigative committee to determine whether the club is in violation of the law and university policy by requiring its executive board members to sign a faith-based agreement.
Almost all of Christ's teachings can be summed up in one simple phrase. Love thy neighbor as thyself.
Sophomore history and French major Steven Jackson resigned last month from his post as treasurer of the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship after feeling pressured to do so because he is gay, he told The Spectrum. The Fellowship may also be breaking the law, as its constitution requires its executive board members to sign a "basis of faith," a statement affirming certain Christian beliefs.
The Buffalo Center Chapter of the United University Professions (UUP), the union that represents many UB faculty and staff members, will hold a referendum to demand that UB "break all ties" with the Buffalo Niagara Partnership and the Business Council of New York State.
We are all wired. Every single one of us has a cell phone glued to our fingertips or music pumping into our ears through headphones. It's scary how much we rely on these electronic devices but never realize how often they are used.
Erie County Comptroller Mark Poloncarz, who is running for Erie County executive against incumbent Chris Collins, doesn't believe the $2,560 contribution from UB to Collins' re-election campaign was an honest mistake, as UB officials have said.
The Spectrum sat down with President Satish K. Tripathi to discuss all matters UB related at the start of the new year.
Circa, 1970. "Tears of Rage" seemed a suitable title to capture the emotions of the university, the city and the nation during a tumultuous spring 40 years ago. It also had the panache of words/music by Richard Manuel and Bob Dylan. War, military draft, poverty, ecologic ruin, racial strife, urban decline, public education, labor issues... Undoubtedly sophomoric (literally in my case), pen-to-paper (no word processing then) became an essential outlet to conceptualize the evolving turmoil beyond my role in production and artistry at The Spectrum.
Apparently, many more than just students violate campus regulations against drinking.
