The NFL is gradually evening out. With the rise of young quarterbacks, there are more and more teams that have become competent picks as 'underdogs.' Which leads us into this week's theme: pick the underdogs! There are fewer and fewer teams that are unanimous picks to get rolled over on a week-to-week basis.
Everyone knows that person. That person who spends money carelessly, who makes purchases impulsively, who decides to embrace his or her immediate appetites over long-term interests.
It doesn't require a lot of money to have a good time in Buffalo. There are many daytime trips, trails and locations to explore for under $25.

Editor's note: This article is satirical and is not meant to be taken literally. Dear Carson, Being out of the dorms and in my first apartment this year has opened up wonderful new opportunities for me: an easy, often necessary escape from my rowdy friends, my own quiet room to study in and a big space to host occasional parties.
Editor's note: The referendum vote takes place every two years and will next take place during the 2014-15 academic year. Author's note: Let me preface this by saying this is not intended to sway opinion, but to merely get you thinking about the current situation with SA at our beloved university.

On Sept. 13, UB announced it has enrolled a record-breaking amount of international students. Foreign students now make up 17 percent of the student body.
It was jarring to learn last week that one-third of the food produced in the world goes to waste. The United Nations released a report, Food Wastage Footprint: Impacts on National Resources, that details and analyzes the "impacts of global food wastage from an environmental perspective." As millions of people go hungry every day, it is immensely disconcerting that 1.3 billion tons of food gets wasted every year, according to the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organization.
The Student Association seemed to have forgotten that "more is lost by indecision than wrong decision." As students waited for SA's announcement of who will perform this year's event of the semester, Fall Fest, they got antsy.
'Rock bottom' is just an abstract concept until you find yourself looking up and realizing that concept is now your tangible reality.
It is not bad that most of the UB students we have spoken to are concerned about and confused by the current conflict in Syria.
Editor's note: This letter has not been altered in any way. Dear UB Undergraduate Students, First, I would like to express my deepest apologies for the excessive pride that has clouded my judgment and leadership.
There are many talented students on a college campus. They range from student government leaders to graphic designers, musicians to mechanical engineers, academic scholars to newspaper editors and beyond.
