While Hollywood's recent movie output has been disappointing, UB students can find an atypical source of entertainment with the UB-made comedy, "The Scoop.""The Scoop" is a student production directed by senior media study major Dan Kowalski, who puts UB students in a not-so-academic adventure that takes an uncensored look into college life.The vulgar, the random, as well as plenty of chase scenes pepper the film."I got a f***in' guy chasing me, people kicking me in the balls, a f***ing cowboy kicking my a** and I'm afraid of a goddamn 16-year-old girl!

Kid Rock may be the most hated musician to have survived the 1990s. His infamy runs parallel to that of Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst.Unless you've been living in a hole, you know that Kid Rock has been glorifying the Middle America, blue-collar lifestyle with his undefined mix of white trash rock, country, metal and hip-hop for years.Kid Rock and his newly formed Twisted Brown Trucker Band released " 'Live' Trucker" this week with a surprising amount of raw entertainment.
Under new rules approved on Tuesday, students will have more time to consult advisors and professors before making a final decision about resigning from courses and receiving a grade of 'R.'At the same Faculty Senate meeting, UB officials also discussed two large grants awarded to the Health Services Department and the continued uncertainty over the future of the School of Radiology.The new, later resignation policy, which the Faculty Senate unanimously approved, states: "A student may unilaterally resign a course without penalty through the 11th week of a fall or spring semester, and through the first two-thirds of any other academic term."The problem with the current resignation date is that it comes before many students have their first exam.
