Art by Amber Sliter Sixty-eight percent of students surveyed called UB?s current general education curriculum something ?to get out of the way.? Seventy-two percent of students said UB exempts or waives them from some or all foreign language requirements. It doesn?t take a math major to see that the gen ed system at UB is broken.
We really believed you and the Spectrum when you assured us that no other unbalanced story would be published. Unfortunately, that trust was breached with your recent coverage of the StandWithUs event put on by UB for Israel. The story was filled with multiple misquotes and fallacies, and was blatantly biased.
When a tailgate is so massive and fans are so enthusiastic (read: intoxicated) that the University Police realizes its patrol isn?t sufficient, it?s fair to say the event can be deemed a success. An estimated 5,000 students attended the Party at the Point tailgate preceding UB?s matchup with No.
Increasing numbers of Buffalo-area college students are vying for a dorm room because they want the ?college experience,? but that can be a difficult experience to have if you?re living in a hotel or with three people in a space meant for two.
Television producer, director and screenwriter Shonda Rhimes is arguably best known for the shows she?s created, ?Grey?s Anatomy? and ?Scandal,? but that?s not why she?s making headlines today.
Standardized testing in Buffalo could become a little less tedious for high school students, as New York?s Board of Regents prepares to votes on a proposal which would allow testing in a wider variety of subjects.

Buffalo?s ?D? entered Saturday allowing 46 points and 502 yards per game. Norfolk State?s offense totaled 20 points and 637 yards through its first three games. One of these statistics had to drastically change.
It?s an all-too familiar story by now: When senior art student Emma Sulkowicz reported to authorities at Columbia University she?d been raped in her dorm by a male student, her case was dismissed and her rapist remained on campus. But Sulkowicz?s story joins the legions of cases gaining national attention as she, after finding out that two other students also reported being raped by her attacker, has refused to stay silent.
Art by Amber Sliter The Peace Bridge used to live up to its name. Now, those long-lost days of tranquility and friendship must seem a distant memory to authorities on both sides of the Niagara. With all the political turmoil and violent disputes plaguing the globe, and with needs statewide for reform to New York?s prisons and educational systems, this dispute with Canadian officials must be resolved before ?Canadian diplomatic crisis? is added to the United States? ever-growing list of concerns. More than $150 million is currently devoted to multiple improvement projects at the bridge and the nearby plaza, as a series of infrastructure developments aimed at reducing traffic congestion by increasing queuing space, adding more truck lanes and widening approach ramps broke ground last month. Despite this seemingly positive development, Canadian hackles are raised over the deceptive behavior by Governor Andrew Cuomo and program manager Maria Lehman, who attempted to avoid publicizing details of construction projects until after the deadline for legal objections. This sneaky political maneuvering will only exacerbate the ongoing legal dispute between the two contingents of the Peace Bridge Authority. The litany of complaints expressed by both sides and documented in legal papers accumulated over two years of disagreement range from claims of sexual harassment, improper hiring and firing and defamation. Clearly, tensions are high between the two countries? authorities.
The year is 2014 and everything we listen to has been cut, re-cut, looped, flipped and remixed, however, nothing has been more re-mastered than the way we listen to music. Sites that allow for unlimited streaming like Spotify and Pandora have changed the way that we interact with music on a daily basis. In 2000, a chart-topping album would have millions of copies sold ? in the first week.
Spectrum File Photo For the past year and a half, I?ve been cheating on my console. I?ve left its hard plastic body sitting cold on my shelf while my laptop?s internal parts turn into a fiery hurricane to run League of Legends on all low settings. I still remember my first few hours of League of Legends.
In an era plagued by a terrifying roughly $1.1 trillion in nationwide student loan debt, college graduates can’t afford to pay their rent, buy a home or start a small business. Just moving out of their parents’ home is a feat comparable to a doctoral degree or a promotion to CEO for millennial graduates.
In a move that threatens community safety and ignores the objections of the public and county officials, the State is allowing the establishment of a methadone clinic in a residential neighborhood. The clinic, which would distribute methadone to recovering heroin addicts, will be located at 254 Virginia St.
The facelift of downtown Buffalo continues this year, as the Erie County Harbor Development Corporation revealed its plans for Buffalo?s Outer Harbor.
Art by Amber Sliter Football is a game of violence. Players? bodies becomes weapons as they tackle their opponent, grabbing at their limbs, their hair, their facemasks (when they can get away with it), driving into players with their helmets, flinging their bodies into space and hoping they collide with enough force to knock the ball out. And fans love it. But NFL players have helmets, shoulder pads, back plates ? layers of protective gear surrounding them as they?re slammed to the ground and into each other.
I immediately burst into tears once the stinger hit my finger. I was helping my roommate sort out the apartment?s recycling on a chilly afternoon with my sweatshirt hood up.

I learned something Friday night. No, not that Baylor is very fast. I knew that. Anybody who?s watched Baylor for five minutes over the past two seasons knew that.
