Mohawks, chains, metal studs, leather jackets, dreadlocks, piercings, tattoos, free beer and a mighty pile of cheese ruled the Thursday night free Squeaky Wheel screening of the Buffalo-grown short film, "Homage."Squeaky Wheel is a not-for-profit media center located down in the heart of Allentown on Elmwood Avenue.They give cheap access to state-of-the-art filming and editing equipment, while promoting independent filmmakers and local media artists.Entering the "cinema" house of Squeaky Wheel Thursday night meant being struck with the contrasting black and blue walls and the snowy-screened televisions stacked three-high in the corner.A sculpture consisting of 20 naked girl's dolls straddling a metal cage-like structure, and Michael J.
In response to the letter to the editor "Hazing is Normal on Campus," in the April 9 issue of The Spectrum, I offer an alternative point of view.In his letter, Cain Morano would have us believe that hazing is an innocuous ritual useful as an initiation into manhood, that feminists are to blame for the end of chivalry, and that there is one particular way for a man to be and act.Morano's views are an example of an oppressive and insidious essentialism that would have all of us guarded by a stringent gender policy.

There weren't any big decorations in the dining halls, and there wasn't a rush of holiday mall shopping.
Softball is a sport dominated by pitching; it is extremely difficult for a team to be successful without an ace on the mound to dictate the flow of the game.Luckily, the UB women's softball team contains the pitching prowess of junior Stacey Evans and will look to her when they take on the Bowling Green Falcons (17-20, 4-4 Mid-American Conference) in a double header at home on Thursday.Coming off a very successful weekend at Akron in which the Bulls (12-15, 3-3 MAC) took two of three games from the Zips, UB will again rely on Evans to lead the way on the mound as well as look to an emerging offensive cast to put runs on the scoreboard."I think with the way our defense has been performing and the way Stacey has been pitching, I believe we have the upper hand against Bowling Green," said senior second baseman Marce Ross.

After a long cold winter spent huddling in customary hoodies and sweats, the sight of the sun after months of gray skies means that it's not only the snow that will be thawing, but spring wardrobes from their long winter's hibernation.For those with an eye on new trends, what was good for last season will have to make way for this season's hottest looks.Sarah, a co-manager at Express in the Walden Galleria, said the styles of past decades have made their way back to top-trend status."We're seeing a lot of tweed pieces like little jackets and skirts, " she said.
From a Second Story Window's first EP, "Not One Word Has Been Omitted" satiates the basest of testosterone-induced musical needs to the same extent as a knuckle-bludgeoning fistfight.Listening to it requires less cleanup too.The thrash/metalcore group from the nearby corners of Ohio and Pennsylvania ("Ohiovania," as they refer to it on their Web Site,) has made a consistently engaging EP in a genre that is known to hold interest only briefly.The first track, "The Challenge of Caring" has a 30-second intro of frantic, unhinged drumming, clashing guitar chords and screams of "Fear the sky." Once it falls into a time signature, the music barely changes.
For William Hung, music isn't about money or fame.It's about "sing-ging," as Hung declares on track four of his debut release, "Inspiration." One of four inspirational interlude tracks on which Hung imparts tidbits of Tony Robbins-style motivational credos, more can be understood about the American Idol reject from these 18 seconds of dialogue than can be found on any Entertainment Tonight segment.For those living under a rock, Hung is the infamous AI tryout who sang a butchered version of the Ricky Martin hit, "She Bangs." Hung's Chinese accent, coupled with his computer technician-like style, left many viewers both cringing at his horrible vocals and also intrigued at the singer's moxie.As is the wont in Hollywood, Hung's miserable vocal stylings became the hit of the moment.
