Andre Robinson may go to prison after he kicked a stray cat with enough force to send it flying about 20 feet.
Spectrum File Photo On Saturday, I took the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). Needless to say, my entire life has changed since I?ve taken it. I couldn?t remember what it was like to do absolutely nothing for an entire day until this past Sunday.
Spectrum File Photo I woke up Sunday morning to find out the place I had called home for the majority of my childhood was in complete chaos. News of the protest in Hong Kong took over varying news distribution channels, from CNN to The New York Times ? and Buzzfeed for those eager 20-something year-olds trying to stay in touch with current news. My relatives in Hong Kong were switching their Facebook profiles to photos of a yellow ribbon, representing a wish for universal suffrage by pro-democracy groups in Hong Kong.
Dear Editor, We are writing in response to The Spectrum’s editorial “In Prison for Parenting: Inaccessibility of legal abortion options leads to unnecessary risks and repercussions” published on Sept.
With breweries, bars, wine trails and tailgates, Buffalo is a city with plenty of options for alcoholic indulgence (and considering the recent performances by the Bills and the Sabres, there?s no shortage of reasons to knock back a few beers). Now, with decommissioned grain silos redecorated to look like a giant six pack of Labatt Blue, Buffalo?s relationship with beer has ascended to a whole new level. The bright blue color is certainly an improvement over the previous shades of dirty, industrial grey and the new look will undoubtedly attract the public?s attention, generating greater awareness for the renovations going on in the area. The silos? redesigned exterior brings new character to an unattractive building and transforms what was once industrial into a humorous and iconic tribute to Buffalo?s love of beer. But even though this is a clever use of the silos design, and a relevant image for the city, this iconic image is still undeniably commercial. Turning a 100-foot tall landmark into what is essentially a three-dimensional billboard reeks of commodification and invasive corporate involvement.

The people of Buffalo have spoken and in a surprisingly pleasant turn of events, they?ve been heard. After years of emotional contention and unproductive discussion, UB has decided that it will not purchase McCarley Gardens, a low-income apartment complex within the borders of the university?s expanded medical campus.

Anthone Taylor doesn?t like Miami Ohio and he has a pretty good reason not to. Taylor, who is from Huber Heights, Ohio, grew up fewer than 60 miles from Miami Ohio?s campus.
Despite a hasty appointment, dissatisfied faculty and near invisibility on campus, it wasn?t until Makau Mutua faced allegations of lying under oath that his position as dean of UB?s law school grew tenuous. UB hasn?t said, or insinuated, that the law school dean resigned because of the allegations.
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.
