There was an abundance of giggles and fist shaking at the rock, paper, scissors contest held in the Student Union lobby on Thursday.The contest, brought to UB by the College Store and Pi Sigma Epsilon, could serve as two UB students' entryway into the National Collegiate Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament to be held in South Beach, Fla.

A little less than one year ago, the Marshall Thundering Herd ended the UB Bulls' season in a first-round Mid-American Conference Tournament game at the Cam Henderson Center in Huntington, WV.
Chris Stamey, the producer behind such contemporary bands as Whiskeytown, Yo La Tengo, and Le Tigre, as well as the former leader of pop band the dBs, exercises his own vocals once again with his "A Question of Temperature," a pleasantly eclectic compilation of pop-rock nuggets and classic covers.The sound itself is not revolutionary - one of the aims of the artist seems to be dusting off and buffing old sounds - but Stamey is pretty good at what he does.
Occasionally, an album comes along that is next to impossible to make a decision about. The Chariot has created just such an album.Josh Scogin, former lead singer of hardcore troubadours Norma Jean, has grouped himself with four other young men to create The Chariot.
Set to square off against the worst team in the Mid-American Conference, the UB women's basketball team will look to even out its conference record as well as rebound from a recent lopsided loss to Ball State.
A month after the devastating tsunami that struck South Asia, UB officials said Tuesday it doesn't seem any of UB's international students or their families have been directly affected by the disaster."There was a lot of scrambling around trying to get in touch with people, and certainly a lot of concern," said John Wood, director of communication for the Office of International Education.
Summed up in one word, Ludacris' fourth solo album, 'The Red Light District," is confusing. On one hand, it has the sort of club-moving anthems and comical lyrics that the Southern "gentleman" has built his reputation on, but on the other hand is forced, molded radio rap that seems absolutely unnecessary.The inescapable single, "Get Back," is of the former; hooky enough to stay lodged in the head for days and tough enough to make Bob Saget feel like a hustler.
In the past month I have learned a career's worth of emotional information. In early December, I was hired at a newspaper, the fulfillment of years of educational promises about why college would end up being worth it.After three weeks of being absolutely enthralled by my job, my employers, my coworkers and the idea that I was getting paid to do what I wanted to do, something was bound to go horribly wrong.Following a creative meeting with a large part of the staff, I was asked to stick around in the meeting room.
The Student Association Assembly rejected a proposal at the end of last semester from UB officials to ban freshmen from parking along the Academic Spine in the spring.By a 17-2 vote, the Assembly called the plan unfair and used the rest of the meeting to draft a counter-proposal that was signed by Assembly Chair Hassan Shibly and SA Senate Chair Mazin Kased.The results of the meeting were reported incorrectly in the Dec.

I am wondering why UB isn't part of the "College/University UnlimitedAccess Program" with NFTA-Metro.
It seems like a lifetime ago, but it was actually less than a year. The University at Buffalo's men's basketball team defeated Kent State in front of a record audience at Alumni Arena and turned its 2003-2004 season around.The Bulls have been able to maintain the momentum they gained following the now-famous Kent State game throughout the rest of last season and through much of the beginning of this season.The Bulls do not get this match-up on their home court, nor they do need their season to be turned around, but they do need a victory against Kent State (11-6 overall, 3-3 MAC) to reach the top of the Mid-American Conference East Division standings, which is a spot the Bulls (10-4 overall, 3-3 Mid-American Conference) were projected to be holding since the beginning of the year.The Bulls have seemed unable to find their stroke shooting the ball recently, scoring fewer than 70 points in each of their last three games."I think that our shooting hasn't been awful, just that the pace has been a little slow," said Bulls' head coach Reggie Witherspoon.During this drought, the Bulls are shooting just 39.5 percent from the field, which includes 26 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
A string of six gunpoint robberies in the University Heights three weeks ago left students shocked and police baffled as the search for two suspects continued through the start of spring semester.According to the Buffalo Police Department, five of the robberies occurred Sunday, Jan.
