Sixteen years hasn't dulled the memory of Linda Yalem, a UB student who was raped and murdered on the Ellicott Creek bike path in 1990.To many, in fact, the passage of time has only made that memory stronger.With the end of September around the corner, the Linda Yalem Safety Run reaches its 16th year on Sunday, as over 1,000 participants are expected to come out to spread the message of safety awareness and rape prevention with a 5k run around North Campus.Each year, the event draws a mix of runners, walkers and supporters who descend on Alumni Arena to honor Yalem's memory and raise funds for safety awareness programs like the Anti-Rape Task Force.Yalem, 22, was training by herself for the New York City Marathon on the bike path behind Ellicott when she was assaulted, raped and murdered in broad daylight.Yalem's attacker has not been caught, but in December 2004, Buffalo police linked DNA evidence from the case to a second rape-murder in Buffalo in 1992.
For a generation raised on laptops, PDAs and cell phones that do everything except their homework, a small device that looks like a remote control seems almost quaint.For many UB students, particularly freshmen taking prerequisite courses in biology, chemistry or psychology, these small "clickers" are just another essential to keep in their backpack.Dr. Clyde Herried, a distinguished teaching professor in the biological sciences department is among the growing number of professors using the Audience Response Systems, called "clickers" by users, in his Biology 200 class.So far, there have been some technical difficulties with the system, which works in one of two ways: with an infrared signal or a radio frequency.

Forty years ago it seemed ridiculous that one of the biggest and most widely recognized events on a large campus such as UB would be a professional drag show in the middle of the Student Union.Thanks to the continual work of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance on campus and throughout the Buffalo community, UB has lowered its prejudices and become a place where students from across the sexual spectrum can feel comfortable being themselves."It's important to realize that LGBT have always been on campus since its inception," said Matthew L.
Cheap alcohol, music, hooking up. No college party is complete without them, just as no Gender Week is complete without a discussion about sex.A fundamental of the college party scene, the "hook-up" took center stage Tuesday night in the first dialogue of sexual health during Gender Week at UB."Hooking Up, Having Sex, Making Love," drew several dozen students to hear what experts had to say and then have their own passionate discussion.According to event organizers, people with different cultural backgrounds, sexual histories and beliefs all see the topics of sex and sexual health in a different light."As a whole we want to increase the dialogue on campus about what sexual health is and how students relate to that," said Sherri Darrow, director of Student Health and Wellness.Sex on college campuses itself has become a hot topic for research among social scientists because it has changed so much over the years.The multidisciplinary panel discussion featured four professionals who each spoke on a different topic concerning sexual health.
