Last year, the three-member executive board of the Student Association legally changed the SA budget to provide themselves with free tuition in addition to the wages they earn as public servants for the students of this university.The money used to cover this expense, which could amount to upwards of $15,000 per semester, will come out of the mandatory student activity fee (not covered by most scholarships or the Tuition Assistance Program) which has a budget funded by the approximately $70 student activity fee each full-time undergraduate pays per semester.

In light of "award season," with January's American Music Awards, last week's Golden Globes and the coming Grammys and Oscars, "All Shoock Up" is proud to announce the inaugural "Shoock Awards." The Shoock Awards are given on the basis of either notable silliness, exemplary conduct or even sheer dumb luck.

Though alcohol consumption and the choice to risk the negative effects of excessive drinking lie with the individual, some researchers have found that an individual's ethnicity is a marker of how much they are prone to binge drink.A recent study, using newly acquired data and data from an older study, concluded that African Americans are more likely to binge drink than any other ethnicity; based on the observations of UB students and the findings of a previous study, this study may not hold entirely true for the black community.
