I was curious about Islam and events such as “World Hijab Day” since high school so when I heard about Cover a Mile in Her Scarf, I knew I wanted to try it out.
Fredonia and Alfred State, along with SUNY Potsdam, which is close to Canada, are all included on a proposed State Senate bill that would allow tuition cuts for close, but out-of-state, students.
A lone sprinkler and lot of cold weather managed to uproot more than 500 students from Red Jacket Hall last night, but UB officials largely responded admirably to the unexpected and urgent situation. The dormitory lost power and heat Wednesday morning when a dripping sprinkler line damaged an electrical panel.
This university may not cancel classes as often as students would like, but at least they manage to make sub-zero temperatures enjoyable every now and then. With its sixth-annual Winterfest following the decades-long tradition of winter festivals, UB once again established that snow and ice isn’t all bad – and that students here occasionally manage to enjoy Buffalo’s admittedly unenjoyable winters.

The innocence or guilt of four individuals accused of committing murder in 1998 is yet to be determined, but the incompetence of an Erie County deputy who disposed of evidence crucial to the case has been proven beyond a doubt. Former Deputy Douglas Burke, now retired, explained to a federal judge that he gave away murder evidence to an auctioneer four years after the initial crime. The evidence in question, which the auctioneer sold, was far from incidental.
As Buffalo continues to be pummeled by snow and sub-zero temperatures, UB students? trek to campus has arguably surpassed mere inconvenience as they drive on icy roads and trudge along in wind chills far below zero to get to class. But at least UB students have somewhere to go. The homeless population of Buffalo remains outside, even as temperatures break cold weather records that residents would rather see left alone. Newcomers to Buffalo are typically quick to pick up on the winter weather uniform necessary to stay safe in the cold ? heavy coats and as many accessories as possible. Because when the temperature drops below zero, wearing enough layers and exposing almost no skin makes it possible to almost feel warm. But the homeless of Buffalo often make do with just a jacket. This was the case for Ronald Hunter Jr., who was homeless, mentally ill and just 21 years old when he died of hypothermia on Bailey Avenue on Jan.

I am standing in The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe with my study abroad group from the University of Buffalo and watching as people openly start to cry.

Arbeit Macht Frei. ?Work Makes you Free.? I stared at the 76-year-old metal gate taking in those infamous words and tried to prepare myself for what I was about to walk into. The temperature seemed to drop as soon as I stepped into the daunting open field at Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum concentration camp, which was used by the Nazis from 1936 to 1945, and the Soviets until 1950.
As I stood at the foot of the 1,000-foot-tall Eiffel Tower, I felt energized. I watched the 336 gaslights sparkle, heard the clock strike 10 p.m.
This is exactly what my Mom said not to do. I could hear her voice in my head: Do not, under any circumstances, go anywhere by yourself.
Spectrum File Photo Before the men?s basketball season started, a co-worker and I sat down and predicted the Bulls were going to finish a game below .500 and just 9-9 in the Mid-American Conference. We weren?t being too hard on Buffalo, either. The Bulls had lost three of their starting five to graduation ? including MAC Player of the Year and UB All-time leading scorer Javon McCrea.
The bad news: the Buffalo Sabres are having a terrible season. The good news: the team?s management is determined to make next year better. Now, only time will tell if the decision to make a dramatic trade with the Winnipeg Jets falls into the former or latter category. The Sabres traded veteran players Tyler Myers and Drew Stafford, a first-round pick, and prospects Brendan Lemieux and Joel Armia in exchange for goalie prospect Jason Kasdorf, defender Zach Bogosian and the injured but clearly talented Evander Kane.
Illustration by Harumo Sato From UB?s Millard Fillmore College to Fillmore Avenue and Fillmore District to hospitals and to statues honoring the former president?s civic contributions to Buffalo, Millard Fillmore?s name isn?t hard to find in Buffalo. But the NAACP isn?t too pleased about his presence here. Fillmore signed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 ? a law that required escaped slaves be returned to their masters no matter how far north they fled ? and now the NAACP is requesting that no more sites bear the name Fillmore. Fillmore?s signature on the law, which was certainly damaging to the abolitionist effort and led to the recapture of freed slaves, isn?t the sum of his political career, or even representative of his opinion on slavery. As president, Fillmore was actually anti-slavery, but wanted to avoid a civil war and help preserve the union.
There?s nothing inappropriate about talking or writing about sex. It?s natural. It?s normal. And it?s what about 86 percent of us are doing at UB, according to The Spectrum?s latest poll. It only becomes improper, lewd, wrong and intimidating when it?s treated that way. And that?s precisely what Issuu, the company that hosts The Spectrum?s digital copies on its website, did this week. Spectrum editors worked over 20 hours Tuesday to produce a paper full of thoughtful, informative and well-researched and sourced articles and opinions about sex. Issuu decided our topic ? we don?t think anyone at Issuu bothered to read our content ? was inappropriate and flagged The Sex Issue by imposing a ?Content Warning? wall on it.
Spectrum File Photo I sit down at my computer with overwhelming excitement, as I?ve recently been confronted with one of the most fun and exhilarating opportunities of my college career. Everybody: say hello to UB?s newest female sex columnist. Anyone who has seen HBO?s Sex and the City can probably guess my immediate reaction to hearing the news ? I am [finally] Buffalo?s own Carrie Bradshaw.
Administrators at SUNY Fredonia have decided to cancel their end-of-the-semester festival in an attempt to stem the binge drinking and rowdiness that has dominated the college in years past. Controlling student drinking at the end of the semester?
There?s a good chance you picked up The Spectrum today because you saw ?SEX? bold across the cover. Maybe you?re a faithful reader, eager to pick us up every Monday, Wednesday and Friday ? or, perhaps, you just wanted to read about fetishes, threesomes and the new sex shop on South Campus. Look, I get it. There?s a reason this is our most-read issue of the year.
