Letter to the editor: UB Student Association e-board asks for separate athletics and recreation fees
Feb. 21, 2016Whether it’s a lack of space, intramurals fees, or poor equipment in UB gyms, chances are you have been frustrated by the circumstances surrounding recreation on your campus. Considering each UB undergraduates pays $267.35 each semester towards an Athletics and Recreation fee, of which only 8% is used for recreation (Division I Athletics receives the remaining 92%) we believe students should be provided better recreation services. For the last several months, the Student Association Executive Board has been tirelessly advocating to improve recreation services on our campus. After many meetings with university leadership and the Athletics Department, it is the opinion of the SA Executive Board that recreation fee should be separated and administered by Student Affairs with the goal of establishing a standalone recreation facility within 3 years. We invite you to read our letter to President Tripathi outlining our proposal. If you wish to share your opinions about recreation on our campus or to join our advocacy efforts, please email us at minahilk@buffalo.edu

By AUDREY FOPPES | Apr. 16, 2013Abortion. Let's be clear: whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, abortion is not regarded as a positive experience, it is not enjoyable or looked forward to, and it is not, not, not an easy decision to make. Which is why I am so appalled at the University at Buffalo, a college I was moments ago proud to be a part of, for allowing the AbortionNO organization to park and display their horrific photographs in front of the Student Union on Monday, April 15. For those of you who missed the Technicolor nightmare, AbortionNO began by parking a large truck across from Starbucks, plastered with a full-color picture of a third-trimester aborted fetus.

Republican-from-birth study offers no agenda
By ANDREW TREMBLEY | Mar. 27, 2006I am responding to an article that appeared to stray off your opinions page and landed in the Arts & Life section of your March 24 issue: Alex Nasarewsky's article criticizing the Blocks' study linking party affiliation with childhood personality traits ("Asinine, not academic"). Nasarewsky claimed that the research was "clearly advancing an agenda." Block's agenda was nothing but advancing science.

One must respect quiet believers
By ANDREW TREMBLEY | Oct. 12, 2005I am writing in response to Nicole Coleman's column ("The Holy Rollers," Oct. 10) on her frustrations with the religious (particularly those who like to evangelize on her welcome mat). Of the many people that share their beliefs with you on your doorstep, (environmentalists, political candidates and marketing groups), I think that the religious are the most honorable.

Acceptance for united Ireland
By AMY E. FINCH | Sep. 12, 2005I want to thank you for finally publishing Mr. O'Day's letter. After first reading this letter two years ago, I was struck by the sensibility of O'Day's proposal, and hope that this grand idea, through being aired in The Spectrum, will receive acceptance and be acted upon in Ireland, north and south.

Democrats should embrace messaging
By AMANDA FISCHER | Apr. 29, 2005As a loyal Democrat, I have to say that I disagree with Ben Cady's recent, and rather cynical, assessment of framing ("The good work ahead," April 27). Though I agree with the author that we need to focus less on Fox News and more on the substance of policy-making, I think Democrats can use framing towards that end.For anyone that thinks that we can all see through the "B.S." of political language, take the example of the "death tax," coined by GOP consultant Frank Luntz and used by Republicans in all branches of government when discussing the estate tax.
