The biggest obstacle standing between underage students and alcohol is their age, a barrier many find easy to circumvent almost effortlessly with some careful smudging, a little computer savvy, or a trip to Canada. "Fake IDs are easy to get and nearly every [underage] student who drinks has one," said William B., a UB senior majoring in aerospace engineering. According to John Grela, director of University Police, approximately 30 to 40 fake IDs are confiscated on campus annually, mainly during routine stops for traffic violations.
The Presidential Search Committee may not be adhering to SUNY guidelines as it pursues UB's 15th president. It has been speculated that the final candidates have already been recommended to SUNY; however, if true, UB would have violated step 10 of "The Search Process" section listed in the SUNY Guidelines for Conducting [a] Presidential Search. The step states that once finalists are selected, schools are required to schedule campus visits for each of the remaining candidates and are to publically announce the names of those left in the running. UB has taken neither of those steps. The committee, chaired by Jeremy Jacobs, has been searching for President John B.

Those in need of affordable housing in Western New York are consistently being locked out of the system designed to assist them. More than 40 years after the passage of the anti-discriminatory Fair Housing Act of 1968, a study completed through the UB School of Social Work has found that the right to fair housing remains one that only a privileged few are afforded. Fragmented policy implementation across municipalities, limited access to affordable living spaces, and fundamental discrimination based on race and socio-economic, familial, and disability statuses combine to become a backward force that many cannot overcome. "I see it as a social justice issue," said Kelly L.
The audience packed into Woldman Theater in Norton Hall Tuesday night, when Art Clokey, the creator of the ancient children's television character "Gumby," gave a live presentation on the small clay cult figure.

Dr. Gregory G. Homish, assistant professor of community health and health behavior at UB, is the first author of an article in the current issue of Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness; the article deals with disaster response in the wake of the recent Flight 3407 tragedy. "Immediate intervention [after a disaster] usually reduces tension, which can mitigate the negative impact on individual, family, and work life and improve health," Homish said. Emergency mental health is a field of practice designed to help survivors, their significant others, emergency responders, disaster workers, and the community at large to effectively cope with the extreme stresses they may face in the aftermath of a disaster.
