In the past few years, Barenaked Ladies fans have not had much reason for excitement. After constant touring and hard work for most of the 1990's, the band has been on a well deserved break since their fifth studio album, 2000's "Maroon."After getting nationwide radio play with pop singles "One Week" and "It's All Been Done," both off 1998's "Stunt," lead singers Steven Page and Ed Robertson have shifted gears on their latest release, "Everything to Everyone." With songs similar to the unique tracks on the band's debut, 1992's "Gordon," their new material looks to revive the carefree roots of their best known song, "If I Had $1,000,000."The album starts off with a few upbeat pop songs, but slows down as it nears the end.

For the over 1,000 residents of South Campus, riding patiently on inter-campus busses is the only practical way to bridge the three miles that separate North and South Campus.Because the busses are so vital -- and because UB charges students $107.50 per semester to run the fleet as part of the transportation fee -- students say it is very important that they run smoothly and punctually.Last week, The Spectrum set out to investigate the system and found that student gripes about the system are minimal.Generally, The Spectrum found the busses run on time.
