SA Assembly Approves FSA Resolution
By STEFANIE ALAIMO | Apr. 17, 2002The Student Association Assembly unanimously passed a resolution aimed at improving the quality and affordability of campus dining Monday night, part of the assembly's Faculty Student Association Revisions Committee's mission to bring concerns to the FSA board of directors.The 10-part resolution drafted by the committee asks the FSA to research vegan, kosher, organic and lower-fat meals, add a lunch to student meal plans and continue to cooperate with outside vendors to offer students more options "such as Krispy Kreme and Manhattan Bagels."Keith Smith, chair of the FSA Revisions Committee, said the resolution was drafted after the results of the food service survey on the assembly's Web site were tallied and his committee met with FSA Director Mitch Green.Assemblyman Adam Waitzman questioned FSA's ability to provide better quality food at lower prices when state law mandates SUNY institutions select food vendors by the lowest possible bidder."Right now . when a state organization or institution like SUNY does buy food, they have to do it by bid system," Smith said in response.

The Other Queen City
By ELIZABETH M. FOX-SOLOMON | Apr. 15, 2002Sociologists call them "toxic neighborhoods," communities where the confluence of chronic poverty, drug trafficking, unemployment, violent crime and low educational levels create and sustain a perpetual underclass.Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati, where I and 30 other students from UB's Newman Center spent our spring break, is a textbook case study of such a community.The neighborhood made headlines last April as the epicenter of the city's three-day race riots, sparked by the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager at the hands of a white cop.
