Until space is made available in the residence halls, over 200 students may call a Western New York hotel "home."An expected 150-student increase in the size of the fall 2003 freshman class, coupled with UB's failed bid to buy the University Inn for student housing, may force officials to temporarily house students in a hotel.According to Joseph Krakowiak, director of University Residence Halls and Apartments, the plan will likely end the practice of placing overcapacity students in a full room.While Krakowiak said that UB has not yet to choose a facility, he said UB plans to house only transfer students and upperclassmen in hotels."We will go through a purchasing procedure that will enable all interested hotels to bid on our business next fall," Krakowiak said.Students will not live in the hotels for an extended period, Krakowiak said.

Instead of coming out of Mount Pleasant, Mich., with a massive upset, the UB Bulls wrestling team came home on a down note as they fell to the 16th-ranked Central Michigan Chippewas.Central Michigan got huge victories at the 174-pound and 197-pound division and downed the visiting Buffalo Bulls Friday night, 19-12.In what probably was the turning point of the entire match, UB's Gary Cooper had his personal 18-match winning streak snapped when he lost 6-3 to Mitch Hancock in the 174-pound matchup.
\tIn the beginning, there was man, woman and an invitation to spend the night together. When one asked about seeing other people, the other replied, "There are no other people!"And the laughs began."I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" has just opened at the Smith Theatre (on Main Street next door to Shea's) and the four-person cast runs rampant over an ever-shifting set of characters, melodies and jokes about the battle of the sexes.The cast is star-studded with performers any theater regular will recognize from recent productions around town.
