In Korea, there is a very famous poem about what a name really means. The message it delivers is interpreted: "I was nothing before you gave me a name, but I became something meaningful when you named me and called me by my name."The misuse or inappropriate use of our school's name has deeply concerned me since I began my graduate studies here in August 2003.

Students rivaled to see who could take the most shots of hot sauce, walked away with free goldfish, played Texas Hold 'Em and had their heads voluntarily shorn into mohawks for WRUB Day in the Student Union last Thursday.The mission of the annual fundraiser hosted by the student radio station was to get the word out that students even have their own radio station - it runs on TV and Webcast - as an alternative to Buffalo's commercialized radio."One thing I did this semester was send out letters to the SA to get us to work together as a community," said programming director Raymond Rohring.
9/11. WMD. Lackawanna Six.These three phrases are synonymous with the Bush administration's war on terror, and terms that are instantly identifiable, but not always easily explained.The story surrounding the mysterious six men who were arrested in Lackawanna, a suburb just south of Buffalo, was explained to a new degree when one of Buffalo's top FBI agents spoke to UB alumni Thursday at the UB Alumni Luncheon Speaker Series."Lackawanna Six and Beyond" featured Edward Needham, a senior agent at the FBI Buffalo Joint Terrorism Task Force, and detailed what law enforcement has learned from its investigation leading to the highly-publicized prosecution of the six Lackawanna men involved in terrorism-related activities."The work has not ceased.
After a successful season in which the team was ranked in the top 20 nationally, UB men's soccer looks to accomplish a feat that no other UB team has ever managed: win a Mid-American Conference title."I think it would be meaningful because we have started a new era, the Manuel era, and I think it would be significant to start it off on the right foot," said head coach John Astudillo.
Mention living in Buffalo to people who have never been here and you can usually count on the same old wisecracks: "Cold enough for ya?" "Hope you like snow." "Better bring your snow boots."As many returning UB students are quick to point out, winter in Buffalo is no joke.
Despite all the talk of tuition hikes and rational plans, the cost of attending a SUNY school could quite possibly remain the same through 2007.In the latest budget proposal on the table, SUNY is proposing increasing funding for the statewide system in the 2006-2007 school year without increasing tuition.If it goes through, the money for SUNY schools would go up by $211.3 million, raising the total funding to $2.3 billion, for the next fiscal year.

The federal government is going ahead with plans to require a passport to cross between the United States and Canada, a move many still argue will have a tremendous negative impact on border traffic and the economies in areas like Western New York.The plan came under intense criticism when it was announced last April.
The team was smiling and laughing even before the game. The crowd was raucous and there were children dancing in the aisles.
The RedHawks apparently haven't heard that kicking someone while they're down isn't polite. In fact, they didn't only kick, but also stomped and trampled UB football on Saturday, 54-13.The Bulls' performance in Oxford, Ohio was laced with fumbles and interceptions.The dismal day for the Bulls (0-9 overall, 0-6 Mid-American Conference) began on the second drive of the game after a quick three-and-out on the first drive.
