Rehired Community Assistants Resign In Protest

Thinking of applying for a community assistant position in one of UB's apartment complexes?According to some Flint Village CAs who recently resigned, students should think twice.After they were fired last semester after attending a controversial South Lake Village Halloween party, and rehired after an appeals process, Marc Stellrecht and Jordan Berry have left their positions as community assistants for good."We were pretty appalled at the situation and how it occurred," Stellrecht said.Though he was not involved in the Halloween incident, fellow CA Ted Gerber also left his position in protest.The three students told The Spectrum they believe their walkout will send a message to both students and the University Residence Halls and Apartments administration.According to University Police, between 50 and 75 students -- many younger than 21 -- attended the Halloween party.

Two of Buffalo's Finest Trek to Hawaii

While the soccer season is over and the thought of training for the 2004-05 season is months away, two players from the UB women's soccer team have already started.Juniors Arielle Korczykowski and Erin Tambs are taking the off-season to a new level as they begin their training for the American Stroke Association's Marathon to be held in Hawaii on June 20.That's right, Hawaii, home of the NFL's Pro Bowl, the University of Hawaii's Rainbow Warriors and in the upcoming months the residence of Korczykowski and Tambs for five days.While the trip itself seems more than enough reason to do the marathon, the marathon and its cause hits closer to home for both Tambs and Korczykowski.

Winless in West Virginia

In basketball, as in most sports, there are stats for almost everything that happens in the course of a game.But in the end, the only thing that really matters at the conclusion of the game is the final score.That's why, despite winning the majority of the major statistical battles in Saturday's game at Marshall (6-7, 3-3 Mid-American Conference), the Bulls returned to Buffalo disappointed after a 86-74 loss in Huntington, WV.The Bulls (5-9, 1-5 MAC) pulled down 17 offensive rebounds, had 14 steals, turned the ball over six less times and took 23 more shots than the Herd, but their winless streak stretched to six consecutive games.The Herd's 24-3 first half run gave them a lead that, despite UB's greatest efforts, put the game out of reach for good.

There's White Atop A Cold Mountain

Three years ago, the soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" tapped into the American roots music psyche, igniting a phenomenon that included two Grammy Awards (Best Soundtrack and Best Album), a stay atop the Billboard 200 chart, more than four million copies sold and a tour in support of the album that featured the album's contributors.Though the plot of "Cold Mountain" is far removed from that of "O Brother," the soundtrack to "Cold Mountain" uses the same traditional/bluegrass theme as well as mentions the same producer as "O Brother" (T Bone Burnett) to successfully match the movie's time period.Garage rocker Jack White of the White Stripes contributes vocals and guitar to four traditional songs and one original ("Never Far Away") that he wrote exclusively for the movie.

Reality Check

Just when the Buffalo Bulls thought they had all the answers, the Holy Cross Crusaders came to Alumni Arena and brought them back down to earth.Buffalo (3-10, 1-2 Mid-American Conference) hoped a zone defense would be able to confuse the Crusaders, but Holy Cross (7-9) quickly cracked UB's defense and nailed seven 3-pointers in the first half.
