twas a cold and rainy week
end whichwas nothing new to
Buffalo,but this weekend was special. It was Homecoming Weekend 1992 and the University at
BuffaloBulls' final home game in
the old stadium. It was a tension
and fun-filled weekend.
The weekend started Friday
with a carnival and pep rally /
bonfireon the South Campus. The
carnival had games in which you
were able to win stuffed animals.

There was free hot-dogs, cokes,
snowcones,

cotton

candy,

and

chips. They alsohad a ferris wheel
that had to be shutdown because
oflightening. Even though it was
windy and there was a thunderstorm brewing, they went ahead
with the bonfire. People saw a
rare site that night, firemen starting fires instead of putting them
out. At the rally, they gave out
theprizes for the Spirit Week competitions and the cheerleaders and
pep band performed.
Saturday brought a few
changes to the weather, now it

was cold and rainy. The cold and
rain did not stop the parade that
started at 10 a.m. on the South
Campus and went to the North
Campus. After the parade, there
was a pre-game tent party in
which there was free food and
music. They also gave away door
prizes, UB seat cushions,

plastic

cups, and pennants. The game
against the Hofstra Flying Dutchmen started at 1 p.m., and even
though it was raining there was
over thirty-five hundred fans
there to cheer on the Bulls. At
half-time, the Bulls were winning
13-0, and everyone was ready to
hear about the King and Queen
and float winners. The winner of
the float competition was the
National Society of Professional
Engineers with their blimp-sized
football. This year's Homecoming King and Queen were Todd
Webb and Jeanine Cooley. Some
fans left at half-time because, as
one dedicated fan said, "It was
too wet and cold to watch the
game, so I left at half-time. The

Bulls were winning anyway." At
the end of the game, the score was
Bulls 25, Hofstra 16. This was the
last game in the old UB Stadium,
and as one fan explains, "Everyone was really excited because it

was the last game in the stadium,
and we won." After the game,
there was a post-game party and
everyone

was in a great mood.

entertain-

ment. She put on a good show in
AlumniArena. "Rita Rudnerwas
pretty good, but the band was
pretty pathetic," commented one
junior.

Sunday there was a brunch.
Then, parents and students
hopped on a bus to go and see
Niagara Falls. "I have been at this
school for two years, and this was
the first time 1got to see the Falls.

a sophomore.
It was a very exciting week-

end and everyone had a lot of fun.

President-William R, Greiner

eptember 18, 1992, marked the
day William S. Greiner was
officially inaugurated as UB's 13th
President. Festivities were held
all week to commemorate the occasion. President Greiner is a professor of Law and was UB's provost for eight years. He has been
active member of UB since 1967.
SA President Bryan Foulke
believes "Greiner is a very student oriented president. A grad
student at UB believed the ceremony was intriguing and that
was in the spirit of Greiner's student oriented nature."
Among the guests to speak
at the inauguration were Governor Mario Cuomo, President
Sample and Chancellor of SUNY
D. Bruce johnstone.
Phil Wels,
chairman of the University Coun-

cil opened the ceremony by welcoming everyone. A moment of
silence was held in memory of
joan Robinson, member of the
Council.
The Chairman of the SUNY
Board of trustees believed the
president's
job is to "create
bridges to help students across
the educational chasms that exist. "
One student felt Cuomo's
speech was both enlightening and
amusing. His speech was the highlight of the ceremony.
Cuomo
believes UB is a school of excellence and accessibility.
"In the
process of creating excellence, you
don't have to give up accessibility
and UB is an example ofthat. The
human mind is our fundamental
resource. It is a vital, in indis-

pensable resource that shouldn't
be wasted."
This statement,
quoted from j.F, Kennedy, illustrates Cuomo's belief in higher
education.
Alumna Daphne Bascom
told president Greiner, "... success will not happen overnight.
You must take risks."
President Greiner believes
in VB's future, "with vision, conviction, and determination wecan
do more with what we have."
Healso feels "the people and
institution that have the courage
to ask the hard questions will lead
the way into the 21st century."
As the CerelTIOnycame to a
close, Greiner accepted the symbol of presidency - the ceremonial mace.

ur own campus mall? That's
right. The new Commons,
which opened on the north campus in the fall of ' 92, is a smaller
version of the American shopping
mall. So when you need to get
away from classes and studies for
a while, The Commons is the place
to go and spend some serious
money.

have all the little necessities you
could possibly need. "I especially
like CVS because they have almost everything I need," stated
one freshman. If a particular cri-

sis emerges, places like Copy Stop,
G.P.A. Insurance Service, Downtown Rent-A-Car, Optical Image,
UB Micro Sales Center,
and
D' Angelo Hair and Cosmetics
Center may be what you're looking for. Unfortunately,
the Student Telephone
Service is also
close by, so there's no excuse for
not paying your enormous phone
bill this month, either.
Now, if food is what you're
after, you may have some trouble
deciding where to eat. There's
everything
from Pizza Hut to
Anderson's Frozen Yogurt, not to
mention Burger King, Cookie Expressions, and New York Bagels.
"When I get really tired of cafeteria food, I can go to Pizza Hut or
stop at Burger King instead. It's
great," exclaimed Kelly Hess. But
if you're really low oncash, there's

always something you can buy at
Uni-Mart.
As you stand in the open
courtyard, you'll notice a second
level to The Commons.
That's
where the Campus Church Coalition, Lutheran Campus Ministry,
Newman Center, CEDAR, and the
Stanley Kaplan Education Center
reside. A conference room and
the Sponsored Programs Administration may be found there, too.
"It' 5 really convenient sometimes because you don't have to
go all the way to Wegman's to get
something you need, you can just
stop at The Commons,"
one student commented.
So not only are
the existing businesses quite successful at The Commons, but UB
will probably
see many more
places open up over the next few
years.

hat wasn't my dish in the
sink," "No, it's your turn
to take out the garbage,"
"Stop
eating my chips!" Sound familiar? Fortheirpastfewyears,many
students can truly say that their
most memorable experience was
that of living off-campus.
The decision to move offcampus is a multi-faceted one.
Initially, this experience can be
adventurous; no more communal bathrooms, fire drills, loud
noises in the hallways. New and
exciting opportunities arise when
one feels as if they are no longer
restricted or confined to a tiny
cubbyhole.
In order to make this perennial experience one of comfort,
'many students have to learn to
deal with the stress and strife that
day ~o day habitation involves.
"You really get to know
people when you live with them.
This can either be a positive or
negative
thing depending
on
whether or not your house mate
leaves the seat up," said Senior

;~24

Su Marshal.
"Living off-campus is one
of the best moves of independence," Senior jeriel Zuniga
stated. "Either you love or hate
the experience but you learn much
about yourself and others, that
I'n1 certain about."
Deciding to get together
with friends over a beer one night
and then signing a lease the next
can be detrimental.
In order to
have a feasible arrangement, all
parties involved must treat the
matter as it is, a legally binding
agreement to uphold a contract.
Living
with your best
friends may be great at first, but
many have had bitter, vicious
fights with people that they considered to be almost kin.
"There was not one night
that we were not hanging out,
partying till the crack of dawn,
staggering home from Molly's. It
was our ritual. I loved Matt, he
was not only a friend, he was a
brother. Till one night, I brought
home this babe and woke up the

next morning and it turned out,
she was Matt's girlfriend," an
anonymous person said. "Things
haven't been thesame ever since."
"Every night I would wash
everyone's dishes. It became ridiculous.
I mean I wasn't even
eating home and there would be
piles of crap everywhere and no
one would ever do anything. Not
to mention the telephone usage,
my house mate would stay on the
phone all night if you didn't say
anything. People can be so inconsiderate," said Maya Rosenblum,
another Senior.
As time elapses, however,
the typical student learns to cope
with these minor idiosyncrasies
and learns to treasure their days
of college life. From endless arrays of parties to insurmountable
hangovers,
living off-campus
definitely has its benefits. Where
else can one own a dog, a cat, and
a ferret simultaneously?
Where
else can one pull an all-nighter
with the lights fully on? Nowhere.
"Moving off-campus, into

your own apartment is thedefinian adult.
From the moment you pack your
bags and shut your dorm room
door for the last time, you are
liberated. Old ideas like dependence and familiari ty will be replaced by new ones like freedom
and unpredictability.
I say do it,'
Senior Aaron Liquori exclaimed]
"If you shop around a lot
you can find a cheap place in a
decent neighborhood.

Senior Roger Hibbert.
Whether it's freedom you
desire, the proximity to the neigh·
borhood bars or a jump outofbed
to Amy's Place; living off-cam
pus is the route to go.
Paul Gdanski said, "You
learn to be more responsible and
you definitely get to end ure some
private moments."
He added, "Also, if you live
with two girls, you get to be [ad

"school food."

I·

E¥\fIiING

t's 5:00pm and your stomach
is growling, just twenty minutes until class ends and you cannot wait to get out. Dinner is on
your mind and you want it now!
What to do?
For many students, both
new and old to UB, the prospect
of cooking for themselves has
been an overwhelming and tryingexperience. Initially, food was
practically
spoon-fed
to us,
whereas now, if we want a hot
meal, some quick thinking must
be involved.
Where the novice is concerned, food preparation is out of
the question. Rather than simply
go to Tops and throw a steak on
the grill, undergraduates
resort
to easier means of sa tisfying themselves.
"Monday
night,
it's
McDonalds, Tuesday it's Perkins,
Thursday's dinner screams Pizza
Plant, and Friday you can't beat
the happy
hour munches."
(Arnold Abramo-Senior). Nourishing oneself properly requires
more than mere pit stops, how-

ever. A diet high in fat leads to
heart disease and 111anystudents
realize this and take the vegetarian route to life: "I refuse to consume any food that any animal
suffered for. I not only feel better
when I do not eat red meat, but I
have learned the benefits of a life
of unselfishness and uncruelty to
animals." (Wendy Siegel-Grad
student).
Other UB studen ts ha ve discovered the fine art of nouvelle
cuisine and have prepared such
dishes as chicken masala and
shrimp scampi. "Every Friday
night my house mates and I try to
get together and concoct these
dinner parties. They're really
trendy. A whole bunch of us get
together and bring a bottle of wine
and really innovate. You don't
know what to expect next - anything from fettuchini alfredo to
shrimp parmigiana.
It really
makes your night to corne home
to a hot meal."
(Patricia
Mohammed-junior).
Many women, especially,

have taken the 90's as the opportunity to diet their way into a
lean, mean, muscle machine. This
can be extremely hazardous to
one's body. "I concentrate on labels solely when I shop. If something is not fat free, I will not
purchase it. If you really want a
good body, you have to work at it
and it all begins with a commitment to diet." (Jen Jacobson-Senior).
Food can also serve as a
source of imminent romance. As
one young 111anputs it, "I can
cook up a mean, homemade meal
for a woman. It's cheaper than
taking them out to dinner, and
especially when you add the ambiance-a few candles, well you're
all set." (Sylvester Tucker-Innovator).
Whether you shop at International Tops, Wegmans, or Bells,
we're sure all of us will recall the
long nights of munching Crunch
Berries or chowing on Duffs
wings. Hopefully the freshman
fifteen have worn off by then.
