We have now past the one month anniversary of the shocking October blizzard, and although the early storm came as a surprise to most, what could be seen as much more unexpected is the fact that it hasn't snowed since.
The city and county are paying more for contracting services for debris removal because they passed over on the public bidding, which occurred days after the Thursday night storm. While some may question Buffalo's failure to pursue the most cost effective cleanup offers, this time the end really may justify the means.

With a consistently low voter turnout at elections like the student mandatory fee referendum and once-bustling Student Association forums being cancelled due to lack of interest, sometimes it feels like the only thing students know how to do is to complain about an issue rather than commit to enact change; and it is nice to see, even though it is only a small portion of the UB student body, that some students are trying to do something for an issue that they feel strongly about.

Suddenly a pulsating heartbeat invades the soundtrack and the words "What is yet to come will be even greater. These are the stakes. Vote." appear behind a fiery background.
