Clubs forced to cancel events

  As the school year comes to a close, on-campus organizations usually prepare for a week filled with events.

Bills find value in another successful draft class

  Fret not, Bills fans. Despite guiding Buffalo to 4-12 and 6-10 seasons since taking over, Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey do have a vision. And if last week’s NFL draft and preceding moves in free agency are any indication, they’re on the verge of executing that vision and leading the Bills out of obscurity – finally.

Culture shock evident at BSC

  The first time an American asked Hanne Bratsberg how she was doing, she froze.   The graduate student from Norway didn’t know how to respond.   Eventually, she told the stranger exactly how she felt at that moment and why.   She hadn’t realized that the practice of asking someone how he or she is doing is a common courtesy in America.

Name sought for BSC mascot

  Before the late 1960’s, Buffalo State College was without a mascot, the colors black and orange the only things representing the institution.   As the story goes, a student named Susan Salazar designed the first interpretation of the Buffalo State Bengal we know today, and it has since been implemented all over campus.

Las Vegas grill flaunts gluttonous casualties

  A woman collapsed while stuffing her face at a Las Vegas eatery on a Saturday night. She was enjoying something called the “Double Bypass Burger” while smoking an unfiltered cigarette and sipping a margarita.   She's the second person in two months to be wheeled out of (after probably being wheeled into) Heart Attack Grill, a dining establishment that glorifies addiction.

No excuse to not to know professor before signing up

  The semester is winding down, which means a few things for college students.   Stressed-out scholars are cramming for exams. Whether you’re a carefree commuter or a relaxed resident, chances are you’re feeling the end-of-the-semester heat.   There’s nothing that can relieve the stress of finals once a student is engulfed in them.
