Gone are the days of patrons who glanced nervously over their shoulders to make sure no one was watching as they entered that restroom labeled "The Weaker Sex." No more Monday open-mic nights.
I used to have a schoolgirl crush on a man who later allegedly murdered his sister and ex-girlfriend.
While the East Division Mid-American Conference standings look almost identical to last year's final standings, the West Division seems to have been flipped completely upside down.The usual suspects are once again atop the East standings with Kent State and Miami trouncing opponents, and, of course, the cellar dwelling regulars like Ohio and UB are reprising their roles at the bottom while providing little to no excitement for their fans.But it's a whole different story in the West.
Years ago, the conservative platform in American politics was fiscal responsibility and smaller government.
Those who visited Montana last week with Jennifer Pugh and the rest of the Schussmeisters Ski Club are nonchalant about the weather in Buffalo."It was 32 degrees below zero there, so coming back to Buffalo was easy," said the senior chemistry and biomedical pharmacology major.For most who stayed in Buffalo, the recent weather conditions might evoke entirely different sentiments.With old man winter blowing full force into Western New York this week, many students have been caught off guard by the sudden shift in climate and are consequently ill prepared to cope with its impact.Dr. Frank Carnevale, director of Student Health Services at UB, said students must take precautions when confronting Mother Nature.
This semester, UB is making history, and it isn't here on campus. In fact, it isn't even on this continent.
As his career at the center of UB's political scene draws to a close, George Pape can finally relax on the subject of SA elections."This is the first time in four years I can sit back and enjoy the process," Pape said as he sat back in his chair and laughed.
A lot of things changed in Buffalo during winter break. The sobering reality of winter in Buffalo has finally hit, UB has a new president and the women's basketball team has made a few surprising changes to its roster.One of the few things unchanged is the Bulls' Mid-American Conference standing.
For most, the prospective death of a parent brings incredible sorrow. There are, however, those who have grown so estranged from a mother or father that the idea of their death hardly makes them blink a tearless eye.
Buying books, last minute registration and battling snowstorms are some of the things that might be on the mind of the average UB student upon returning for a new semester of classes - the thought of blood donation most likely is not.According to the American Red Cross, young people should be consistently jotting blood donation onto their to-do lists."There is a definite need for younger blood donors," said Andrea Holland, a communication specialist for the American Red Cross.
Hollie Cook, a sophomore guard and fan favorite for the Buffalo Bulls women's basketball team, will not be seen on court again this semester - or possibly ever again - after being suspended indefinitely by head coach Cheryl Dozier."There was a lack of focus on the academic side of things," said Dozier.

Ah, how refreshing. Another piece of misguided, ignorant garbage printed on the subject of Israel and Palestine.
Once again, it is time for The Spectrum's "Sharpest Point." Only this isn't the same Sharpest Point that you remember from last semester.
It borders on hometown heresy for Buffalo natives to speak ill of Ani DiFranco.Having already partially revitalized the area with her locally based Righteous Babe record label - on which she has released 21 projects of her own as well as many other artists - DiFranco has been nothing but a shining light peaking through Buffalo's bleak reputation.So it is with an aire of extreme hesitancy that any DiFranco project is looked at in a negative light.
