UB recently ranked eighth on a list of the colleges and universities most actively using BitTorrent, the most heavily monitored file-sharing platform, to illegally download and swap files.
UB students logging onto BullsEye to apply for on-campus jobs are bound to run into the same nagging qualification: "Must have work-study award letter." It's an immediate dead end for students who don't qualify, leaving them to fight for positions at Campus Dining and Shops.
After a summer of ill-informed and ill-advised analyses of the female reproductive system, Republicans have had a lot of ground to cover on the campaign trail, and comments made by Mitt Romney on Tuesday may have helped patch up some of that damage. The Republican candidate publicly announced he has no plans to make abortion legislation part of his agenda if he is elected president, an admittedly more moderate approach to the issue than he had taken earlier on the campaign trail. But despite cries from pundits and the left, there is no valid point to prove that he has flip-flopped in his position.
I've got real problems. Lately, people have been coming to me complaining about their tests, girlfriend problems or how I ate the last chicken patty in the freezer (sorry, Steve). But I have bigger problems this week.
Forget Joe Flacco. Who is he? Right when he begins to let people think he is potentially the quarterback Baltimore thought he could be and bring the Ravens to the promise land, he has a horrific performance against the Kansas City Chiefs - a team that has been giving up 34 points per game entering the weekend. Maybe I'm making too big a deal of his teams' failure to get in the end zone last week, but their offensive inefficiency cost me what I thought was a sure undefeated week of picks.
It's easier to understand Laura Bush from one foot away. Her cheery grin, which appears feigned and political through a television screen, is gentle and genuine.
Jerry Sandusky is set to be behind bars for at least 30 years, but the verdict he received yesterday is a swift slap in the face for the victims and their families. The former Penn State coach faces 30 years without parole and a maximum of 60 years behind bars, leaving him with what is effectively a life sentence.
Most people would expect all college students to be against the Chippewa Street commingling ordinance banning minors after dark, but here's a twist: we're in favor of it. Frequent college partiers have probably noticed by now that anyone under the age of 21 is now barred from the Chippewa Entertainment District after 10 p.m.
Society does not give members of the LGBTQ community enough credit. The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer population has made incredible progress from the days when being anything other than heterosexual was viewed as taboo. There has been an increase in LGBTQ acceptance, but the hate crimes should never be forgotten.
As a first-generation American and proud Salvadoran-American, I take Latin food very seriously. I grew up on homemade tortillas, savory steak, chicken and chorizo accompanied by chismol - a side dish similar to pico de gallo - among other dishes most people aren't familiar with.
Nine regional championship game appearances - including five straight in Division I - four regional championships, four national final four appearances and an alumnus on the United States National Team.
Like many other students, I came to college with a thirst for knowledge and a hunger for experience.
Last Wednesday night was one of the most important nights of the year for our country. At 9 p.m., for the first time this election season, the two presidential candidates finally squared off in person for the entire world to see.
I saw the future on Saturday. I saw conference championship rings and bowl wins. I saw national respect, big-name recruits coming to town and UB's annual pro day drawing NFL scouts in masses. I saw two freshmen who looked ready for their chance in the Bulls' 38-31 loss to Ohio. Yes, freshmen.

I'm not voting. Ever since I was in elementary school I have been told to vote. I have been educated about the elections, taught the values of each political party and gotten the Democratic process drilled into me by voting for class officers. I registered when I turned 18.
Sometimes fantasy players are like your new workout program or a new girlfriend. You tried it out for a little bit, but who are you kidding?
Last week, I came extremely close to picking the 49ers over the Jets as my lock. I believe the spread was -4 to San Francisco.
After months of campaigning and preparation, the gloves go on tonight for the first presidential debate.
"Oh, come on. Even I could coach that them to the postseason." These words have flowed out of my mouth countless times when talking about teams such as the Lakers, Yankees or the old-school Bulls, but never about the masterminds behind the Patriots, or who people can now refer to: the New Orleans Saints. Coaching professional athletes, regardless of their talent level, is one giant headache.
