Wireless network on campus to expand


The wireless network available now in the library and Student Union will be soon expanding to cover more space outside and inside at Buffalo State College to benefit students who have computers with wireless capabilities.


By this summer, students will be able to use their laptops in most public areas on campus. The plan is to install more wireless access points and connect with the Buffalo WiFi Project, which will run wireless Internet down Elmwood Avenue.

 

 

Wireless was first available in the Study Quad in E.H. Butler Library.

Native American students celebrate heritage

Beads, dreams and lacrosse are just a few of the workshops that will be presented during the Native American Heritage Celebration sponsored by the Native American Student Organization at Buffalo State College.

There will be a lacrosse stick-making presentation at 7:30 p.m. on April 26 in Bacon 116 from Patterson Lacrosse Sticks, which is based in Sanborn on the Tuscarora Indian Reservation.

Recent SABRE update lays the foundation for future additions to system

The recent update to the SABRE system this past March will not be a noticeable change for students at Buffalo State College. It was aimed at the difficulties faced by teachers and the Registrar’s Office, especially during registration time.


“There’s not really going to be any new obvious advantages or new features for students with this particular version,” said Don Erin, SABRE project manager at Buffalo State.

Are we paying too much for athletics?
That was Buffalo State College junior Darcy Wagner’s response to the $96 athletic fee that students are being charged each semester.
“If I was an athlete I wouldn’t mind, but I’m not. That’s $96 that I don’t have and could use for something else,” she said.
