Thanks to a team of researchers from UB and the National University of Mexico, authorities in regions at-risk of volcano eruptions now have a way of detecting the direction of lava flow - and possibly mitigating harm from previously unpredictable eruptions.The risk map developed by Michael Sheridan, UB professor and volcanologist, will enable scientists to predict which populated areas will be affected in the event of an eruption, as well as providing alternative routes and locations for evacuation.The Popocatepetl volcano is located in a populous vicinity of Mexico containing approximately 30 million people, only 60 kilometers from Mexico City, and has been active since December 1994."There is a better than 50 percent confidence that if the next big eruption is similar in size to the eruption of 800 AD - the last big event - this map will portray the areas likely to be affected," said Sheridan.If successful, the risk map will help alleviate the pressure on Mexican authorities by making emergency evacuation safer and more effective."Civil Protection Authorities use hazard/risk maps to formulate plans for emergency response and evacuation.

In Friday's issue of the Spectrum, Dylan Hall advocated that in response to the recent attacks upon innocent civilians from around the world, the United States should withdraw its military presence from the Middle East.

Many students spent this summer working at internships in hope of finding their dream job. Some students returned with job offers, some with valuable work experience, and others gained an expertise in alphabetizing files.UB's School of Management, through its Learning Experimentally in an Academic Practicum (LEAP) program, placed over 300 students in internships last summer, some of whom have learned more about the business world than any class could teach them."There are many good internships and many bad ones ... we try to weed out the bad ones so students can make the most of their opportunity," said Geraldine Kogler, director of the LEAP office since its inception 23 years ago."When a company comes to us with a request we get details on what exactly the students will be doing before we post the jobs on our Web site ... we avoid clerical positions and companies that are looking for free help.

The Bulls rode a title wave of offensive power to a 34-20 victory over the University of Connecticut Huskies Saturday afternoon before a sell-out crowd of 16,517 at UConn's Memorial Stadium.Senior quarterback Joe Freedy and sophomore running back Marquis Dwarte put up big numbers as the Bulls scored 34 unanswered second-half points on their way to their first win on the road since 1998, a streak that spanned 18 games."Its nice to actually have a bus ride home where people are smiling," senior offensive lineman Tim Hedges said.Freedy, who was challenged by Randall Secky for the starting job in practice last week, went 20 for 36 for 218 yards and one touchdown.
The 11th annual Linda Yalem Memorial Race, held in honor of a UB student raped and murdered on the Ellicott bike path, took place Sunday at 10 a.m., beginning and ending at Alumni Arena.The race began with a moment of silence for the victims of the recent terrorist attacks, deaths equally as senseless as Yalem's."I think it is important to remember things like this happen and to keep them from happening again and to always remember Linda.
At UB, the provost is second in command only to the university president, serving as the president's liaison to the university's deans and faculty.

The opening of UB's three undergraduate apartment complexes has laid the foundation for a year-round, university-based community.
While many students endured monotonous jobs this past summer, a group of UB students and professors had the opportunity to unearth relics at a site nearly 230 years old as part of an ongoing summer program at Old Fort Niagara.Nineteen UB undergraduates and four graduate students took part in the continuation of the work of Doc Knight, former director of archaeology at Old Fort Niagara, as they dug through the walls.
Continuing UB's trend toward a self-sufficient university community, a structure tentatively dubbed the "Lee Road Master Plan," has been proposed to fill the vacant space between the Student Union and the Ellicott complex with apartment-style housing and retail stores."[We are] only developing a master plan on what 'could' be done," stated Vice President for Student Affairs Dennis Black in a letter to the Spectrum, adding "[The] most aggressive schedule would lead to the start of one of up to five [construction] phases as early as the end of 2002."The complex itself "would have a city feel and try and keep the community feel we have on this campus," said Clifford Wilson, associate vice president for student affairs.
At about 10 a.m. Thursday, students in the Governors Residence Halls were forced out of their rooms by a fire alarm when a truck parked near the complex caught on fire.The fire began when the truck's motor ignited while in use.
Students bringing a car to UB often find a multitude of decisions accompanying their newfound freedom, as costs vary widely for something many perceive to be a necessary luxury."It is definitely a necessity to have a car on campus, there is always somebody not drinking when you go out who can drive," said Anne Gunia, a sophomore international business major who drives a 1991 Chevrolet Blazer."It's probably not an absolute necessity, but probably for most students where they are used to having a car available to them, they're not used to having to get around in a fashion that is more haphazard," said Jim Twombly, visiting assistant professor of political science.According to Chris Austin, adjudication and transportation coordinator for UB, approximately 15,000 student-parking passes were distributed for the 2001-02 academic year.Twombly, who is running for Amherst Town Council, said students from New York City are used to having easily accessible mass transit and may find it difficult to travel off campus without a car.
