Old Yearbooks Tell Story of Revolution

Deep within the bowels of The Spectrum's offices -- which are themselves deep within the bowels of the Student Union -- sit a dusty collection of old UB yearbooks.For years after World War II, they tell the familiar story of a conservative private university: glee clubs, homecoming floats and (believe it or not) a well-loved, winning football team.An image from the '62 volume is a classic example.

What Election?

Despite a high-energy effort by UB officials to get the word out about registering to vote, activity at campus polling booths on Tuesday was muted.At the Student Union, the polling place for most North Campus residents, just 31 students voted by the time the polls closed at 9 p.m.Though turnout was particularly low, local elections officials said they were not expecting many students to vote because students respond more strongly in a presidential election year."Usually more than 650 students vote in the presidential elections, about half that in the gubernatorial races, and less than a quarter of it in local elections," said Brian Coffey, an election inspector stationed in 145B Student Union, the North Campus polling location.In the 2000 presidential election, 694 students voted from District 105, which comprises Governors Complex and Hadley Village, and District 93, made up of Ellicott Complex and Creekside Village.
