The Buffalo Bucket List is a series of articles highlighting my journey to achieve the full college experience in Buffalo, from Buffalo wings to Oozefest. This installment features free music and comedy at UB.
It’s the end of the semester and no one really wants to do anything. The worst part is that this is the time where you really need to be doing the most. You need to get your act together. And here’s how.
With no first round pick and a busy offseason of trading and acquiring free agents, the NFL draft was destined to be a bit dull for the Buffalo Bills.
Given Robert E. Eloff’s history of abusive and violent behavior while on the job as a law enforcement officer, the recent federal charges he’s facing aren’t exactly surprising. What does come as a surprise – a shock, really – is his initial hiring by the Buffalo Police Department (BPD), despite his troubling employment history.
This letter to the editor was written in response to an article published in the May 1 edition of The Spectrum entitled, “The branding initiative.”
Spring Awakening opened at the Center for the Arts last week and continues its performances this weekend. If you haven’t yet caught this talented group of students stomping, singing and moving through the struggles of adolescence – you should.
If he’s constantly yelling, leave. If he pushes you, leave. If he tells you what you can and can’t wear every time you walk out the door, leave.
As Buffalo continues to attract an influx of college graduates looking for work and establish itself as a location for incoming industries downtown, the importance of small businesses to the economy cannot be overlooked. Fortunately, there are several programs in Buffalo that emphasize the role of small businesses and support up and coming companies.
A letter to the editor regarding UB's Gettin' Dirty Day and student conduct in the University Heights.
UB’s football team is just starting to find its footing, as the program has managed to string together several seasons of improved play and increased ticket sales. But that success must be sustained to make the university’s multimillion-dollar investment worthwhile.
College is a time of meeting new people, exploring new ideas and growing as a person. But sometimes you just want to do absolutely nothing. Despite popular belief, there are actually different ways of going about doing nothing and certain milestones you can hit in your quest to shirk all responsibilities for a while.
The media is writing about race issues. The Spectrum is writing about race issues.
I’m going to preface this column the best way I know how: I AM NOT ADVOCATING VIOLENCE OF ANY KIND. With that out of the way, I’ve seen a lot of hypocrisy lately on social media and in the news regarding how demonstrators are protesting against the police brutality – namely, in the city of Baltimore.
One of the best things about the City of Buffalo is leaving it to go to Canada. Here are some great places to explore when visiting the Great White North.
The initial phase of a four-part, $314,000 branding initiative at UB just came to a close – but somehow, even though branding is entirely focused on image and publicity, not many students are aware of the process.
The installation of card swipe consoles in laundry rooms in the Ellicott Complex, along with the rollout of a new mobile app, was supposed to simplify the process and allow students to reserve machines, search for availability and view wait times. But it has instead complicated an already tedious process.
Every other race gets the satisfaction of being called the politically correct term but African Americans are subjected to being identified as just a color. We are more than that, and The Spectrum's course book should be changed to reflect that.
Although there’s much to consider and question about the proposed downtown extension of Buffalo’s Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) Metro Rail, there’s no doubt that it’s an exciting prospect that aligns with the City of Buffalo's needs.

On the night of April 24, 1915, hundreds of members of the Armenian ethnic minority in Constantinople – now the Turkish city of Istanbul – were arrested and shortly killed – the beginning of what would become known as the Armenian Genocide.
