Visions of the afterlife combined with the evolution of society may sound like the premise for a fantasy novel, but "Five People You Meet in Heaven," Mitch Albom's follow-up to "Tuesdays with Morrie," takes a more philosophical and sentimental tone regarding these existential themes."The Five People You Meet in Heaven" is a tale focused around the life and accidental death of Eddie, an elderly amusement park employee.
One part talent show, one part fashion expo, a dash of sass and all parts fabulous, the fifth annual Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance-sponsored Amateur Drag Show tore down the house Monday night in the Student Union Theater.Boasting six contestants and a total of a dozen performers, the show sparkled like a sequin as music, dancing and some comedy took center stage for the evening.While diva Kasandra K, also known as Kenny Mersimoski, a senior political science major, won the first place bouquet, $75 prize and more than a handful of dollar bills, everyone involved had a good time - despite some shoe-induced pain.Mersimoski said he got involved with the drag show mostly "to have fun, to be with my girls," but his high heels were infringing on the good time."These shoes hurt," he said.The knee-high black stilettos were worn to compliment the Kasandra K ensemble of a black and white dress with spiral designs, a look that when coupled with an aerobic and crowd-pleasing performance clearly impressed the judges.One of these judges, a professional drag queen who regularly performs at Club Marcella on Main Street in Buffalo, was Miss Fanta-See Island who performed master/ mistress of ceremonies duty for the evening.She kicked off the show's performances by dancing to En Vogue's "Free Your Mind," only relinquishing the spotlight briefly as the other performers entertained the enthusiastic and supportive audience.As the amateur queens and kings got ready to perform, Fanta-See flirted with cameramen and Student Association President George Pape, asked for food from the audience and made merry with social commentary."I'm bisexual - You buy me something and we can be sexual," she said."Miss Fanta-See Island was my favorite part," said Reicha Snell, a sophomore painting major and audience member who came to see her friends perform and provide member support for LGBTA."The drag show is to show UB students that we're here, and that we're accepted by the administration," said LGBTA vice president Rachel Parrino.

ORLAND, FLA. - When a defense allows only 12 points in a game, never mind UB's much-maligned D, much more cannot be asked of the unit.There is no question that they did their part, allowing the offense a chance to win by only having to score a few points to win the game.Unfortunately for the defense, the offense could not up the ante, only scoring ten points in the first half, as the Buffalo Bulls (0-6, 0-2 Mid-American Conference) fell to the Central Florida Golden Knights (2-3, 1-1 MAC) on Saturday night in the Citrus Bowl by a score of 19-10.Despite the defense's Herculean efforts and the offensive woes, special teams was where the backbreaker was delivered to the Bulls in the third quarter with the game still up in the air at 12-10.With 5:58 remaining in the game and plenty of time for UB to ignite some sort of offensive effort, the Bulls punted a kick out of their own end zone to the Knights' speedster Tavaris Capers.
Visual artwork is usually created with a common set of tools and techniques; when an artist ventures outside the traditional boundaries of method and skill, their work must be viewed in new ways, with new approaches to commentary and critique.An exhibit of such work, called "Materials, Metaphors, Narratives: Work by Six Contemporary Artists," opened this Saturday at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
