Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a party from time to time, but there aren’t many things worse than being in a packed, hot basement where your feet are stuck to the ground.
Between scheduling classes, fulfilling requirements and struggling to make ends meet, students face a lot of anxiety over finishing their degrees. But this year, due to ineffective communication and a clear lack of administrative organization, the Office of Financial Aid exacerbated those anxieties even further when they surprised students with the abrupt and unwelcome news they were not eligible for grants from the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP).
The television and film industry is hardly hurting financially, but Gov. Andrew Cuomo insists on helping to alleviate its monetary “burdens” – if we can even call them that – with $420 million in tax breaks.
I have always had a difficult time with the retrieval of information. My auditory process was and still may be weak.
I am firmly pro-abortion rights. I am a heterosexual cisgender woman. I have a uterus so I may one day be pregnant and when that day comes, I deserve the right to choose what I envision for my future. If that future doesn’t involve a baby, or at least the present doesn’t make supporting a child a viable option, I have – and deserve – the right to make that choice.
It’s pretty clear at this point Bobby Hurley’s heart was not in Buffalo, but Hurley doesn’t realize how much of Buffalo’s heart was with him.

People usually think each photographer’s photos are similar, but that is not true. They are unique and different to each of us.
Hillary Clinton announced her run for president on Sunday, to the surprise of no one.
When was the last time you read a book for pleasure? Books are a diminishing form of relaxation – Netflix, Hulu and the variety of other streaming services that provide entertainment in a couple clicks overshadow novels. With little time to relax, students find themselves looking for the simplest way to ease their minds – little do they know, a book is an entire new world.
With the pursuit of a last place finish successfully concluded, the Sabres are now guaranteed a chance to select either Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel, the two most promising talents in the NHL right now, in this year’s draft. With the firing of current head coach Ted Nolan, the team also has the opportunity to hire a new coach of similar caliber.
The Spectrum’s April 9 article, “The Parking Game: Parking Struggles on UB’s Campuses” by Emma Janicki and Sushmita Gelda should be a wake-up call to all members of the UB community that the individual and collective actions we all take in driving to campus are adversely affecting each other and our personal health.

On Saturday, UB Athletics removed the interim tag on assistant head coach Nate Oats, making him the new head coach of the men’s basketball team after Bobby Hurley left for Arizona State.

Much of the athletic department’s spending is wisely distributed, with money going to necessary operations like facilities and maintenance. But the amount of money going to coaches remains questionable.
The recent furor over a far-from-picturesque statue of famed comedian Lucille Ball has made it beyond clear that the village of Celoron, the childhood home of the actress, still loves Lucy. The uproar, which ultimately made it onto CNN and Fox News, started as many viral protests tend to do – with a Facebook page. From Facebook to front pages, the community’s outrage has taken on a life of its own and blown a minor issue out of proportion.
