If the women's volleyball team was looking for a qualified candidate to take the helm this season, it has certainly found the right man.Head coach Jim Lodes comes to the Bulls not only equipped with the mental approach it takes to be a winner, but an impressive r?
"When you get out there for that opening kickoff and line up against the guy you know you're going to hit, and you unload on him so hard it makes him feel like he wants to crawl back into his mother's womb, and you know that it's legal, there's no feeling like that on Earth."When UB rugby co-captain Jason Giglia speaks about his sport, it borders on poetic - violently poetic, that is, for a sport that, much like the rush of playing it, is like no other on Earth.
A Wednesday meeting about maintaining peaceable discussion led to a heated argument at the Center for Tomorrow when the UB chapter of the Scholars for Peace in the Middle East gathered to discuss anti-Semitism at UB for the second time.The meeting brought together many of the principle figures in a campus drama that stretches back to April 2004, when a lecture by Norman Finkelstein, a controversial pro-Palestinian critic of Israel, incited conflict among students, faculty and the Buffalo community.
Members of last semester's Reform Our Campus party began acquiring signatures on Wednesday for a petition that would pressure Student Association officials to finally make a ruling on charges of bribery and slander filed six months ago.Spearheaded by Matt Pelkey, the petition calls for SA to settle the charges with its Election and Credentials committee, and then take the case to the Student-wide Judiciary.If SA does not act quickly, the petition threatens to begin the impeachment process for the entire Elevation '05 party, which includes now-President Dela Yador, Vice President Sonia Kang and Treasurer Mazin Kased."What we're going to argue is that number one, obviously the complaints that we filed are valid and the SA is intentionally not dealing with these," Pelkey said.

Whether you love it, hate it or choose to ignore it, Greek life thrives at UB, continuing to attract and initiate new members into its organizations.
There are many reasons to look forward to this weekend, whether you're a Bulls fan eagerly awaiting the first home game or a holiday-enthusiast excited to celebrate the nation's first-ever Constitution Day.The holiday was born last December when President Bush signed a billed designating September 17 to be the day when the country would remember the creation of its' primary framework for democracy.
The Super Furry Animals, one of Wales' largest musical exports, has a back catalogue of flawless releases.
I am writing in response to the recent article "Abortion vocabulary," (Sept. 14). The article stated that Bush was pro-abortion because he was opposing a bill that would allow the over-the-counter sale of Plan B, an emergency contraceptive.
Lines stretched throughout a Rochester Barnes and Noble this past July, as hundreds of Harry Potter fans got their fix, all unsuspecting of the deep historical references made in the series of books.Barbara Tedlock, UB anthropology professor, analyzed the phenomenon as well as the historical context behind the series, discovering that the books are based on more than just a magical tale.
After Our Lady Peace's 2002 release, "Gravity," the Canadian-based rock group reached the summit of the rock world with a steady string of highly successful albums including "Spiritual Machines" and "Happiness Is Not a Fish You Can Catch," raising themselves to a level of prosperity and reputability that most musicians can only dream about.Catchy pop lyrics in songs like "Somewhere Out There" and "Life," along with stiff guitar riffs in "All for You" and "Starseed" herded millions of fans into their circle of success, gaining respect from all corners of the rock universe.Then they disappeared.For three years OLP didn't release a new album besides a compilation of popular songs recorded live on tour."Healthy in Paranoid Times," released Aug.
"Lord of War" is the one of the few films since "The Family Man" in which Nicholas Cage gets through the entire movie without shooting someone.
Is the recent controversy about the "morning-after pill" really a controversy over scientific research?
It's the principle of the thing, really.By not ruling on the charges Pelkey and his Reform Our Campus party made regarding ethical violations made by Mazin Kased last semester, SA administration completely discounted its responsibility to the student body.
As if most lines are UB weren't long enough already, the wait isn't over for the arrival of iPrint@UB, a new print allocation program that will limit student printouts.The system, which will allow each student, faculty, and staff member to print 650 pages each semester, and an additional 200 pages during the summer session, has been delayed in starting yet again.According to UB officials, the vendor that sold iPrint to UB lost their key developer this past summer when iPrint was supposed to begin its pilot.
