There are some experiences so out of the ordinary they forever leave an imprint.One day this past summer, when big fluffy clouds hung against a clear blue backdrop, I set off for a bike ride along the Erie Canal near the small town where I live.
Lieutenant David Urbanek's shift is nearing its end when he spots a group of students gathered on a corner near Ellicott laughing and goofing around, various beer bottles in tow.
They still don't have it right.As the images of stranded motorists fleeing Houston in the anticipated wrath of hurricane Rita flashed on the nation's TV screens, the continued failure of those officials responsible for disaster relief planning and management became clear.
In the midst of nationwide and university-wide fundraisers to aid those affected in Hurricane Katrina's wave of devastation, two UB students have found a unique way to show their support.During September's tax-free week, Susan Goon and Jennifer Chen did what many New Yorkers did - they stocked up on tax-free clothing.
There remains a significant, inherent flaw in Ms. Juby Kuriakose's article from Sept. 23 ("Gender rules: women at UB find the glass ceiling still exists"), aside from the obvious lack of research and truth.
One look at the cover of "Greetings from Imrie House" makes it obvious that The Click Five have the perfect pretty faces and sloppy, mop haircuts to pull in a very specific audience.Considering that, they've toured with Ashlee Simpson and Aaron Carter, and have upcoming dates with Ryan Cabrera.
The UB women's volleyball team came up empty-handed after two road games against conference foes, but is still optimistic about its chances in Mid-American Conference play.The Bulls (7-7 overall, 0-2 MAC) dropped their conference opener on Friday to the Kent State Golden Flashes (5-8 overall, 1-1 MAC) by the score of 3-1 and then lost 3-0 on Saturday in Athens, Ohio to the Ohio University Bobcats (12-2 overall, 2-0 MAC).Head coach Jim Lodes felt the main reason for losing to Kent State and Ohio was a lack of consistency."We played some of our best games and then we didn't play well the rest of the match.
With a ring in one hand and a cigarette in the other, Erik proposes to Gladis as smoke curls out of his mouth."Marry Me," a documentary film by Uli Gaulke and Jeanette Eggert, condenses the first two years of a transcultural marriage.The documentary played as part of a series called the "Margaret Mead Traveling Film Festival," which features a new movie every Thursday at the Center for the Arts Screening Room and runs through Nov.
Throughout America, there are long, winding highways that go on for miles, stone-cold, desolate and uninhabited.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines gender as the state of being male or female, with reference to social and cultural differences.
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.
The right to vote, the right to attend college and the right to have an occupation are examples of freedoms that have never come easy for women.
Athletes across the country spend time every day participating in the sports they love. For many, it's a lifelong adoration and they can see themselves staying in the game forever.But in pursuit of their endeavors, athletes put themselves at risk for injuries, some of which could end their careers.Senior Dimitri Facaros and recent graduate Erin Lawrenson know what it's like to play a sport for years only to have it ended by an injury.Facaros, a walk-on fullback for the UB, played football since he was 9, came to Buffalo in the second year of his collegiate career, and now has to leave the game he loves.
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.
