All our lives people have told us that these are the days to remember. Most of
us have taken this proverb with a grain of salt, because it was sometimes hard to
imagine the truth in those words. But as we venture into the "real world, " scared
and unsure, we realize how precarious the future can be. In times of doubt we
may need a reminder of a more carefree time, a time oflaughter, a time when we
were young and hopeful, and a time when our lives stretched out before us, full of
possibility. So we at the Buffalonian dedicate this book to the graduating seniors
in hopes that as time goes by, you're "Reflections" on your stay at the University
at Buffalo will bring about fond memories.

"symbols" of DB which aren't quite as

traditional, but are often times more
memorable than a statue or pillar.
For those of us who drove to campus, there is no forgetting the Commons

we just wanted to park closer than Timbuktu in order
to get to class on time. And of course, the ever common
sight of the Blue Bird transporting innumerable students between campuses will alwaysbring back the cold
sweats each of us experienced at least once when we've
ridden those death traps called buses and a corner is
cut too close or a yellow light was pushed just a little
too far. Let's not forget about the snow either. Well,
after four (or five, or six) years in Buffalo the majority
of us would rather not see another snowflake or feel a
blustery wind practically whip us off our feet again.
Over time though, fond recollections will accompany
all of these symbols, (maybe even the snow, ok,
maybe not) and a small smile may cross your lips
when you think back on your many years at this
university.

Life at the University at Buffalo can be as topsy-turvy
as getting from Slee Hall to the Computing Center without going outside. Students often need a safe haven; a
place where they can meet people with the same problems, the same interests, the same fears. For many there
was a time when that place was the dorms. Sure the
residence halls had their drawbacks. The bathrooms
were usually fairly nasty, the food was over priced (and
under cooked), and the guys next door to you only

played their music at top
volume when you were
trying to sleep.
But,
there was always someone to eat with, always a ,
place to hang out, and
there was always something to do. Whether it
was an activity set up by
your RA., a group ofbud dies going down to shoot
pool, or you and your best
friend/roommate chilling in the room watching
a flick on the University
Cable Channel, life was
never boring unless you
wanted it to be, and you
made memories that will
stay with you forever.

This year, a new addition to the campus was officially opened to the student body: the Hadley Village Apartments. The 13
three-story buildings are
situated on 11 acres located
within walking distance of
the North Campus departments and student services.
Hadley Village is the first
on-campus housing units to
be built at DB in 25 years
and the first to offer
apartmant-style
accomadations. Each of the
four-bedroom apartments
are fully furnished
and offer many of the amenities available to dorm residents, combined with the independence available to off-campus students.
While the university has done its best to boast the many advantages to Irving in an on-campus apartment, there is a certain
type of culture which is part of Irving in the Heights. Dealing
with negligent landlords and after hours noise outside the Main
Street bars is a valuable experience which are irreplacable and
cannot be duplicated when living on-campus. Regardless ofwhere
you live though, good friends and good times are always to be
had when living on your own.

In the spring of1999, the Uni-

versity Student Alumni Board
sponsored the 115th annual
Oozfest. Over a thousand people
decided to get down and dirty at
one of the largest collegiate mud volleyball tournaments in the
U.S. The basic principle is this: it's volleyball in the mud. It's
slimy and dirty and filthy and gross and sometimes your shoes get
sucked right off your feet. But to its fans it's more fun to play than
they can begin to describe. For the rest of us, it's a highly entertaining scene to watch. From afar. From very far. But seriously,
Oozfest is an event with one of the highest participation rates at
DB. It draws people from all walks of life, and lets us wallow in
our diversity. It's amazing how a series of friendly games can unify
the DB community, breaking through the apathy that seems to
descend on us every once in a while. Activities like Oozfest are
what college is all about.

For thousands of accepted freshmen, the first glimpse of the University at Buffalo was a slew of cars,
parents, and other floundering freshmen in the overflowing parking lot
outside the Ellicott Complex.
Whether these UB newbies were out
of towners or Buffalo natives, they
all had one thing in common - they
were all clueless and here to experience the phenomenon known as
"Freshman Orientation."
Every summer, these new students come from all parts of the
state, country and the world in hopes ofbecoming familiarized with
life at the Univeristy. The basic premise is to take a large number
of strangers in an unfamiliar environment, place them in a small
enclosed area for a number of days, and eventually they'll be forced
to make friends if not for the fun of it, then at least for survival. The
three day orientation includes tours of the campus, programs about
various aspects of the school, and what might be the most vital
component - registration. BIRD 101 is the crash course taught to
all orientees as they prepare to try and pick and choose their first
semester classes.
The friends that were made during this time and the memories
of their shared experiences lasted through the rest of the summer
and into the fall making their first college semester a little bit easier
and setting them in the right groove for success at UB.

1999

Spring Fest '99 was held on an unseasonably hot and sunny day in May. Great
musicand great weather blended together to make for a very happily spent Saturday
for manyUB students. Adorned in shorts and tank tops, students arrived in droves
, to fill the entire field behind Center for the Arts, waiting in line for hours to gain
entrancebeyond the fences. Many just camped out on blankets outside the designatedarea enjoying the music and celebrating the much needed arrival of spring, as
wellas the end of the semester.
The combined talents of Sugar Ray, Orgy and Run DMC had the crowd in high
spirits. This elation was also enhanced by the ever elusive beer tent which seemed to
majicallyappear this year. Well, it was more like a beer corral. An orange fence
guardedby very large, stern-looking men surrounded a big truck with taps coming
out of the sides. Also reigned
within this very small area were
many red-faced audience members who were obviously reveling
in the sunshine as well as the alcohol.
As the sun began to set over
Baird Point, the concert wound
down. Sun-burned and loving it,
students filed out of the gates,
smiling and laughing. Looks like
the student mandatory activity
fee isn't so bad, especially when
it provides us with a great concert for free.

Fall Fest '99 was held in the
gynasitun of Alumni Arena when, surprisingly, Buffalo weather did not cooperate with plans to hold the concert
at Baird Point. Once again the bill was
as diverse and interesting as the UB
population, featuring Reel Big Fish,
Gang Starr, One World Tribe and Error Type :11. Once again UUAB provided UB with a great show and despite being stuck indoors, fun was had

The "New" Bulls

With DB's return to Division I-Aathletics comes
a refurbished stadium. The 'old' stadium
seated more than 30,000 spectators originally.
With several thousand more seats added this
year, the stadium is:fullyenclosed and prepared
for the arrival of DB fans from all throughout
the university and surrounding community for
the first football game of the season. Plenty of
pomp and circumstance began the game, and
the enthusiasm carried through into the rest
of the season, bringing DB closer to becoming
Division I-A champs. 1999 marks our first year
back in this division since 1970.

Homecoming week at DB is always a
highly anticipated time. This year the game
was held on a sunny (and of course, windy) Saturday in October. With fans filling the newly
renovated stadium, the Bulls made a valiant
effort, but lost with a final score of 39-18. Even
though the Bulls were never in the lead, this
did not prevent the audience from cheering our
players on and enjoying the beautiful day.
The homecoming game was also the premiere ofthe Thundering Herd. Om-new marching band took the place of our Pep Band as halftime entertainment, along with our cheerleaders and the parade in which many DB clubs
and organizations display the banners which
they made during Spirit Week. Halftime is also
tradtionally when the king and queen are
crowned. This honor was bestowed upon
Takiyah Nur Amin and John Mascetta this year.
Homecoming is also accompanied by the
traditional Spirit Week, allowing the students
and clubs to display their school spirit to the
university. This year a new event was added to
the list of Spirit Week activities: a Greek spirit
contest in which members of many of the fraternities and sororities on campus strutted their stuff dressed in "traditional"
Greek garb and sported their letters.
The Homecoming Carnival this year was held on Saturday afternoon after
the game so that the families which attended the galne could enjoy it as well as
the students. While not as many rides were available, and the beer tent and
bonfire of past years were sadly absent, fun was had by all.

The 9th annual Take Back the Night was held on October 21 in Harriman Hall
on the South Campus. The national event is intended to increase community awareness about sexual violence, rape and rape drugs. It began twenty years ago when
5,000women gathered in San Francisco's pornography district and effectively shut
it down.
.
There were many guest speakers, several of whom were
rape victims themselves, comingforward to share their painful stories, with the hopes that by doing so they will help
other victims come forward. Many victims are hesitant
about reporting the crime because approximately 60 percent of all rapes are conunitted by aquintances. One special guest speaker, assemblyman Sam Hoyt, promised to
back stricter legislation which would prevent perpetrators
of drug-related rape cases from escaping responsibility for
their crimes.
Brought to the university by the Anti-Rape Task Force,
this event raises awareness through poignant stories, moving poetry and an inspiring candlelight vigil. Rape does not
discriminate; it effects both men and women, from all walks
of life. Take Back the Night attempts to reach out to all the
victims who are too ashamed or scared to ask for help, to
show them they are not alone.

Off Campus Life

By the time graduation rolls around, most DB students have experienced all of the different aspects of life as a college student; and what
college experience would be complete without living off campus for at
least one year with friends? University Heights (or "the Heights" as it
is commonly referred to) is home to many DB students who couldn't
handle living in the dorms or with their folks any longer. Aah, the
freedoms ofliving within walking distance of the necessities: need cigs?
Wilson Farms or Mobil are conveniently located on opposite corners of
Main. Hungry? There are enough pizza places within a two block radius to accornodate as many greasy cheese cravings as a broke college
student may feel during any given week. And of course all of the bars
are situated so that after hours in the Heights becomes quite a raucous
~"Y
affair as dozens of residents
stumble along their drunken
path to grab a slice at Sal's and
wind their way home. (No more
worrying about a designated
driver!)
Living in the Heights is a
unique experience which many of
us won't forget anytime soon.
Old friendships are tested as the
dirty dishes pile up, but new
bonds are formed when we realize that while the stench from
the sink may be preventing anyone from entering the kitchen,
we wouldn't have it any other
way.

Anyone who has not spent their
entire collegiate career living in the
library has been to at least one of the
Main Street bars. This ever popular
strip of alcoholic bliss has many different drinking establishments to
suit all tastes and desires for a Friday or Saturday night (as well as an
occasional Thursday). Whether you
were looking for a night full of live
music or dancing, just a casual game
of pool or darts with friends, or were
out to get as drunk as cheaply and
quickly as possible (Molly's$5 happy
hour), there was always some place
to quench your thirst.
While the majority of the pubs have been refurbished, both
inside and out in many different ways over the last several years,
business has not diminished noticeably. Loyalities were formed
from the time we were freshmen, when our drunken naivete betrayed our age to every patron, while the owners and bouncers
kindly let the fake IDs slip past on occasion. Everyone has that
"one story" associated with our favorite bar which will live on in
infamy, long after the education we received at our esteemed university has faded in our minds.

Area Coffee tlouses

Coffee plays an important role in the day to day lives of many DB
students. For some, it's the caffeine kick that keeps their weary, bloodshot eyss open during agonizingly early morning classes. Others require some stimulance to keep their mind awake and attentive during
their night classes (should they decide to attend). And of course, the
daylight hours in between are open to any motive a coffee drinker has/
needs/can invent in order to grab a cup ofjava.
The cafes of Buffalo serve a worthy purpose then. DB students can
not only down their favorite variety of coffee, but can do it in the company of friends and other aficionados of fme taste. Groovy music can
always be heard permeating the air in any of the local cafes. Pastries or
some such foods are usually available for those with the munchies. And,
the variety of coffee blends is seemingly endless.
The atmosphere, however, is one of the greatest attractions. Whether
walking through the entrance with a group of friends or conversing with
total strangers over a hot brew, or perhaps if studying is the prime objective for the evening, the ambiance is always an upper.

The University at Buffalo Undergraduate Chinese Student Association was established in 1965
with the following objectives in mind: to introduce Chinese intellectual and cultural exchange and to
promote cultural exchange and understanding among students and faculty of this university.
Our many goals also include promoting Asian culture, heritage and traditions. All this narrows
down to a community of people coming together to learn more about themselves and each other.
This bonding enables us to become one big family. Wewould like to extend a welcome for you to join
us and celebrate Asian Unity along with other cultures. We are not just about Asian Unity, but about
learning about different cultures and enriching ourselves with this experience. We have always
worked with various clubs in SA, enabling members of different backgrounds to come together and
learn about one another.
Throughout the year, we celebrate by coming together during major holidays, such as New Year's,
the Moon Festival, and most importantly, ChinaNite. Our many other events include 3 on 3 Basketball tournaments, Toronto trips, Niagra Falls, and more. We celebrated our 35th anniversary this
year with ChinaNite 2000, the "Mlllenium". ChinaNite has grown in popularity with each passing
New Year, consisting of audiences from various regions of the Northeast. Join us in our celebration
of the millenium!

In the spring of 1995, a small
group of determined young Filipinos at the State University of New
York at Buffalo sought to form an
organization with the intention
of spreading the Filipino culture to the college and surrounding community. The Filipino American Student Association was granted temporary recognition in that same semester. Now RA.S.A.
is a full-blown club with close to 65 members and it's still growing. We continue to educate the
DB public and the surrounding community about the Filipino culture and rich heritage. We are
not only about being Filipino, as most of our members are non-Filipino. Instead, we are just
about sharing our culture with others who want to learn about the Philippines and its people.

Bulls football

The University at BuffaloBulls football team will enter their
firstseason of major college football in 29 seasons with 18 returning starters and a hunger to find their niche in the competitive
andhistoric Mid-American Conference.
The Bulls finished 4-7 last year in their final season as a 1AAindependent
(where they had
played
since
joining
the Divitil
sion I ranks in
1993) with just
UI
six seniors on
the roster. In
1~
all,
52
letterwinners
'11 return from last
year's team, including all five
starters on the
offensive line
and explosive
receiver/kicker
returner Drew
Haddad.
"We will
face many of the
samechallenges
and
growing
pains in establishing a I-A
programas this
University has
facedin its previous upgrade
challenge from
Division III to
the present. As
difflcult as this
nextstep will be,
we look forward
tobringingmajor college football back to Western NewYork," said
Cirbus.
The Bulls, who last competed at the major college level in
1970,join Middle Tennessee State as the only two programs moving up to I-Athis season. VB will compete in the East Division of

The University at Buffalo entered last season, their first in the Mid-American Conference, knowing it would be a tough road ahead. And tough it was.
Finishing with a 5-24 record and a 1-17
mark in league play, the Bulls learned just how
competitive it is in the MAC. This year, the
team faces a new challenge ofbecoming a contender in one of the nation's best conferences.
The Bulls have a nucleus of some solid
players who have a year of experience in the
MAC and know what it takes to compete in
the league. These players know the system
at VB and with a talented group of incoming
players who should quickly adapt to the Bulls
style of play, VB should challenge teams on a
regular basis.
Individually, the Bulls coaching staff
feels the team is better from top to bottom
with players who have the talent to compete
in the MAC.
"We now have ten to eleven players who
have the talent to compete in the Mid-American Conference, day in and day out," said
Cohane. "Wejust have to put it all together."

It didn't take long for first year head coach Cheryl Dozier and the University at
Buffalowomen's basketball team to earn respect in their inaugural season in the MidAmericanConference. The
Bulls proved the critics wrong
by finishing tied for sixth, after being picked to finished
lastin pre-season voting. Although the Bulls lose five
letterwinners from last season, Buffalo should build on
thesuccess of last season as
they return two of the MidAmerican Conference's top
scorers in All-MACCandidates
Tiffany Bell and Mad
McClure and will showcase the
strongestrecruiting class in
school history.
"The biggest question
mark for our team this upcoming season will be leadership
because we lose five seniors
fromlast year's squad," said
head coach Cheryl Dozier. "In
the spring we voted juniors
Tiffany Bell and senior Sonia
Ortega, Mari McClure captains and I feel they will lead
us into the future."
Bell,
Ortega
and
McClure return along withjunior Tara Perrier as the Bulls enter their second season of play in the Mid-American
Conference.
"Asfar as talent goes this season we return all of our impact players and we bring
in fourtalented freshman," said Dozier. "If our newcomers come in and give us the
impactI expect them to, we will be successful."
