The Alumni Association offers 17 scholarship opportunities for Buffalo State students

Donald M. Agen, investigator/ university police student assistants (UPSA) supervisor, calculates that last semester alone the Motorist Assistance Program (MAP) helped 150 people. The main goal of the free program offered by the Buffalo State university police is to assist people who can’t get their car started.

Aid may come in the form of a jump-start, providing tools, offering gas, phone, etc. All a person has to do for MAP service is call (716) 878-6333, or use a campus blue-light phone and the MAP truck will be sent out.

Last.fm and myLastFM take Internet radio to the next level

It seems like every radio station nowadays is overrun with ads. Last.fm is a free Internet radio service made for those who wonder where their music has gone.


Last.fm offers a groovy new way to listen to music they like and skip what they don't want to hear. It streams music to people online through its Web site, www.last.fm. Because it still plays songs randomly and not exactly what its users want, it stays within the realm of radio.
