When Ashish Abraham took office as UB's new Student Association vice-president, the first thing he wanted to do was overhaul SA's "corrupt," wasteful and social elitist image.
The people in the town of Amherst elected Supervisor Mohan in a democratic election! If you don't like his leadership ("Mohan's latest edict," March 9), find a better candidate for the next election. I admire him for attempting to change the status quo and pursuing accountability from our elected officials.
Since their inception in '99, metal band Chimaira has had more members come and go than the Bills have had quarterbacks. With the upcoming release of their album "Resurrection," they were able to reunite with drummer Andols Herrick, an integral member of the past, and emerge unshackled by censorship.
The UB School of Management Alumni Association has recently elected a number of new members to its board. Leading the pack is the new president of the association, Sujata Yalamanchili of Williamsville.
Thrice named their most recent album "Vheissu," a phrase from Thomas Pynchon's novel "V." Vheissu also means "Who are you?" in German.
According to a recently conducted survey, 69 percent of college students and graduates do not fully understand this column, this issue of The Spectrum, or the novel they're currently reading in class.
UB art professor Steven Kurtz, who was indicted for mail and wire fraud for illegally obtaining bacteria he used in his artwork, is no longer under pretrial supervision while he awaits trial.
While the nation speculated on Bush's pick for the Sandra Day O'Connor vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court, it should have been obvious who he would choose in the end. Bush is a man who values loyalty to his family above all else, and as the White House and the GOP find themselves overrun with charges of insider cheating and cronyism at every turn, Bush picked his own lawyer, and longtime member of his inner circle, to fill the vacant slot.
One look at the cover of "Greetings from Imrie House" makes it obvious that The Click Five have the perfect pretty faces and sloppy, mop haircuts to pull in a very specific audience.
This is the second part in a continuing series, "The changing face of UB," which examines recent student population trends as UB moves forward into the John Simpson era. Today's story steps back from the student body for an interview with President Simpson's right-hand man for everything academic, Provost Satish Tripathi.
Loyce Stewart, director of the Office of Equity, Diversity and Affirmative Action Administration, died at home on Monday after a long illness, according to a UB press release. She was 60 years old.
Student Association elections are next week, and with three E-board and four SUNY SA delegate positions up for grabs, many consider the frontrunners to be Elevation '05, a party made up of incumbent SA officials.
UB graduate student Jinho Choi was found not guilty on Monday in the Oct. 16 rape and sexual assault of a former girlfriend, according to The Buffalo News.
Impending tuition increases and potential aid cuts have put things in perspective for most UB students. More students are devoting more thought to how they are going to pay for school than how they are going to spend their weekend. The Spectrum Editorial Board entered our Student Association election endorsement process with these tough issues in mind, especially in regards to the most contested race - that of SUNY SA delegates - which has the most influence on SUNY decisions regarding tuition. Knowledge of these issues along with plans in how to address them factored heavily into our endorsement decisions.
It has been said before, and it will undoubtedly be said again, that the key to putting on a great rock concert is not necessarily the music. It also is not always the performer that matters. There have been plenty of bad concerts given by great bands.
Super Bowl XXXIX is upon us, and the arguments have been going on for weeks. We here at the Spectrum would like to offer the best arguments by a few fabulous football fans as to who's going to take the cake or the trophy or Janet Jackson's top this year. The three categories hold a point total of 10 points with total scores maxing out at 30 and ultimate-total scores for the grand prize equaling 60.
As we look forward to a new semester, we dread what has become a tradition of sorts here at UB: wrangling for a parking spot in overfilled lots. Coming to class over an hour early just for the chance to park on the spine is a major inconvenience. Recently, the Department of Parking and Transportation has been considering a proposal that would prohibit all freshmen from parking on the Academic Spine from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. Supposedly having freshmen, including commuters, parking in outlying lots, like the lot at the Center for Tomorrow, would provide some relief for parking congestion.
When you enter the voting booth on Nov. 2 you may be surprised to find names besides John Kerry and George Bush on the ballot. Several congressional districts are up for grabs in the Buffalo region. Retiring Republican Jack Quinn has left an open seat in the 27th district, where Democrat Brian Higgins is competing against Republican Nancy Naples. In the 26th district, Republican incumbent Tom Reynolds is facing Jack Davis. Louise Slaughter, the Democratic incumbent in the 28th district, is running for re-election against Republican Michael Laba. Louise Slaughter is so heavily favored to win that The Spectrum has decided to focus our attention on the other two races.
I won't lie. I've thought about it more than once.
On Tuesday The Spectrum's editorial board met with Student Association representatives to discuss the upcoming referendum on the mandatory student fee. Next week students will go to the polls to decide on three separate issues: whether to make the mandatory fee voluntary; whether to allow for a $10 increase on the current $69.75 fee; and whether to continue allocating $1 per student to The Spectrum. After a lot of discussion and analysis, we have decided to support the increase, which would maintain current service levels provided by SA.
