UB President Satish Tripathi’s statement on anti-Semitic incidents on campus
Apr. 2, 2016However, recent events – nationally as well as on our campus – are a sobering reminder that much work remains to be done. I am chagrined to note that these include a recent and deplorable act of anti-Semitic graffiti in one of our academic buildings. After a very thorough investigation by our UB Police Department, who responded immediately to remove the graffiti and increase campus patrols, we believe this to be an isolated incident. Regardless, this incident has been a source of pain and deep concern across our university community.

Letter to the editor: Career Services looking for feedback on CareerFest app
Mar. 22, 2016Dear UB students We know you feel a lot of pressure. Pressure to do well in your studies, pressure to be involved on campus, pressure to engage in cultural experiences different than your own, pressure to volunteer, pressure to have multiple internship experiences, pressure to network and of course pressure to find a job.

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.
