When you look at the upcoming non-conference Mid-American Conference schedule, featuring some high profile teams, you would not think the MAC was a mid-major conference.The MAC is still obviously a mid-major conference, but that is not stopping them from playing the nation's top football teams in 2003.There will be a league record of 10 Division I-A non-conference opponents in MAC stadiums come this fall.

"Choose-your-own-adventure" might have been a popular 1980s children's book-craze, but more often than not, a play that relies on audience participation is not the sort people wind up recommending to friends.That's why it comes as a surprise that "Shear Madness" is not only the longest-running play in America (at three separate theaters) but also, in its latest incarnation at Studio Arena, a hysterical and amusing way to spend an evening.As is often the case with audience-participation plays, "Shear Madness" is a murder mystery.
I did not know what I was getting in to. In sharp contrast to many of the things I have done with my life, there was no plan.
I'm writing in response to Stefanie Alaimo's column of March 24, "Vintage McCarthyism Is Back In Style." In it, she calls the recent criticism of the Dixie Chicks' singer Natalie Maines for her recent anti-war statements "vintage McCarthyism" and "good old fashioned blacklisting." Alaimo then goes on to call this a threat to their First Amendment rights, and that due to this, Maines' "livelihood and right to free speech was put in jeopardy." Though I consider myself a pretty strong liberal and wholeheartedly agree with Maines' remarks about the war in Iraq, I think that Alaimo's column in defense of her was extremely reactionary and poorly thought out, and displayed many glaring errors in logic.

Students with a love for writing and a zeal for reporting will soon have an opportunity to develop their skills while earning academic credit and a recognized certificate from UB.According to Beth Del Genio, assistant vice provost for Academic Affairs, the university is making progress in its plans to begin a new journalism certificate that would combine coursework from the departments of English, communication and media studies."The program is for students to be able to indicate to potential employers that they have practical and academic experience in the field of journalism," said Del Genio.This allows students to have an impressive resume whether they decide to enter the job market or go on to graduate school, she said.Teresa Steenburgh, a sophomore English major, said she thinks the program is a good idea, especially for communication majors, who might have wanted to go into journalism but previously did not have the ability to do so."I think if there is a high enough demand with people making special majors, then they might as well create a program," said Steenburgh.
