SA E-Board Donate Tuition Waiver to The Spectrum

While the future of The Spectrum is still hazy due to a lack of funding, yesterday, in a surprising turn of events, Student Association President Christian Oliver pledged his tuition waiver to The Spectrum in an effort to keep them afloat for a few more weeks.One hour later SA Vice President Jennifer Brace called Spectrum Editor in Chief Sara Paulson - who plans to run for SA president in 2005 - to pledge her tuition waiver as well."I really wanted to give back to the student community after they have given me so much of their student activity fees," said Brace.Brace said she was so generous with her tuition waiver because she was inspired by her party's political platform."We want results!" she said.According to Paulson, The Spectrum staff was overjoyed by the enormous generosity of the Student Association."I'm, like, so totally surprised, Chris (Oliver) is my buddy now!" said Paulson.Some students were not as excited, however."I hate The Spectrum," said Sean Hickson, a junior English major.

"Authentic Italian Cuisine, Close to Home"

Whether it's a "buy one, get one free" beer deal at the local bar, the 99 cents Burger King menu or bargaining with the Sabres' ticket scalpers, most UB students are in search of a good deal and friendly environment.For those students, just a stone's throw away from the Seneca Niagara Casino lies Provenzo's, a comfortably small Italian restaurant that keeps to its Italian heritage and remains a good choice for college students because of its heaping portions and clean yet informal atmosphere.If the food and name are not ample clues that Provenzo's is an Italian restaurant, then the surroundings finish the job.
