Domestic militias present political/ethical dilemma

Oct. 12, 2010

The word "militia" tends to come with a nasty connotation; it is a stigmatized moniker with an invariable tie to fundamentalist civil war rebels and brutal marauding in isolated locations, far from the reach of reasonable law and order. The United States Constitution was created on the principle that each man can protect himself and his home with his own form of autonomous enforcement, according to the second amendment.

Naming competition calls on UB Students

By Andrew Wiktor | Oct. 10, 2010

There's a new addition coming to myUB, and all it needs is a name. That's where the UB student population comes in. Starting Wednesday, students have the opportunity to name a tab that will lead users to a new feature that makes it easier to access academic, financial and personal information tools. Those who submit a suggestion or vote for their favorite idea will be entered into a random drawing to win gift certificates for movie theatres, Campus Cash, Tim Hortons and UB branded merchandise. The five ideas that receive the most votes will be put into a random drawing to win an iPad or one of two iPods. The contest, sponsored by Student Services Transformation (SST), is a way to get students involved and come up with a clever name for a new tab that will make many frustrating aspects of myUB easier to use. "Students can learn more about the system, contribute ideas for names that build UB spirit and win prizes," said Kara Saunders, assistant vice provost for undergraduate education. The new additions will help students stay on top of important information that may have been confusing in the past. The online center will allow students to set a course "wish list" that will automatically enroll students in their desired classes as soon as their registration window opens up.
