Upperclassmen Brooke Meunier and Allison Bennett represent a minority on the women's basketball team, which features six freshmen and three sophomores.Neither Meunier, a junior, nor Bennett, a senior, seem concerned by this lack of experience however, as both point to tremendous team chemistry as a reason to watch out for the team in 2004."In my three years playing here, this is the closest we've been," Meunier, Buffalo's top returning scorer from 2003 said.Bennett, who led the Bulls last season in assists, reiterated that sentiment, noting that the camaraderie of the team, both on and off the court, has led to hard work and an emphasis on the team aspect of the game heading into the 2004 campaign."I think we'll surprise people, catch people on their heels," the senior guard said.It's easy to see how an opponent might take UB lightly, as the Bulls are coming off a 6-21 finish in 2003, and are faced with having to replace two of their top three scorers, and their top two rebounders from a year ago.Still, though there remains a question as to who will fill the statistical void left by the graduated Jessica Kochendorfer and Kim Kilpela, this is a Bulls team that, according to head coach Cheryl Dozier, will have great depth, along with the intangibles and work ethic to become a factor in the Mid-American Conference."We'll be very deep, we anticipate playing eight, nine, ten kids," Dozier said.

Bold autumn colors and the soft, harmonic sounds of flute and drum music filled the Student Union Wednesday afternoon at the third annual Native American Bazaar.According to organizers, more than 800 people attended the bazaar, which was not only meant to celebrate the Native American culture, but also to spread a general understanding of the unique customs and lives of a people that make up less than one percent of the UB population."The purpose of the event is to promote awareness of other cultures, specifically the Native American culture," said Mitchell Chavez, a staff assistant for Multicultural Affairs and bazaar coordinator.The Native American People's Alliance, the group that sponsored the midday celebration, spent the past six weeks organizing and planning it, and offered fact sheets about many Native American tribes indigenous to Western New York, including the Mohawk, Tuscarora, and Oneida nations.
