Adam Kozman, Opinion Editor Out of all the films being released in this fall period, one of the most anticipated, “Digger”, has flopped in the box office. “Digger” is a dramedy written and directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu starring Tom Cruise. Iñárritu has also directed “The Revenant” and “Birdman.” The Guardian says it is on course to lose $245 million, stating it as “one of the biggest disasters in movie history.” On top of this, the film has garnered a lot of negative atte

Adam Kozman, Opinion Editor “August and Everything After” by Counting Crows is the best debut rock album in the history of music, let alone one of the best albums ever, but I’ll just stick with the debut claim for now. In the early 90s, Counting Crows lingered around the San Francisco, Calif. music scene by performing in various Berkeley, Calif. bars and local concert venues, perfecting their dynamic and becoming familiar with their signature sound, that of a base rootsy rock

Hannah-Kate McFadden, Contributor The United States has long been presented as the world’s protector of democracy. We are considered the leaders of the free world. Since the end of World War II and the onset of the Cold War, the United States has assumed a leading role in global security, and has been an economic superpower for over 125 years. Unsurprisingly, whenever we have involved ourselves in armed conflicts like Vietnam or Afghanistan, it has been with the justification

Lizzie Pike On Wednesday, Oct. 14, an email was sent out to the student body regarding our Jesuit members of Buffalo, N.Y. and Loyola Hall. The email, in short, announced that Loyola Hall would no longer be the residential building for our Buffalo Jesuits, and they would soon be relocated at the end of the academic year. When I first read this email, I was actually confused and shocked by the news. It caught my attention, and, obviously, I have my opinions on the matter (henc

The Underground is VERY displeased with the third floor of Science Hall and those people. Your employees need to be treated better like actually paying them for blocking off time in their schedule even though they did not “work.” The Underground loves you very much, but don’t make us break up over this, please and thank you. Peepaw Williams here, and telling you that well… if given the chance to wrangle hogs covered in mud during a rainstorm or babysit a class of middle schoo

Hellllllooooooooooo Honeys, I have returned from the doom and despair of Certified Public Accountant (CPA) studying because the demons who created the exam said I get twenty minutes of outside time once a month, which is just enough time for me to answer our first question of the year! This one was submitted by someone who probably bet money on Josh Allen to throw for five touchdowns and not end the game by serving a meatball sub to the Patriots, even though Joshua Palmer (wh

Lily McMenemy, Assistant Opinion Editor Welcome to Cura Mundus, the regular conservation column where we seek to “care for the world!” This week’s highlight species is the civet, paradoxurus hermaphroditus. Fascinatingly, despite being cat–like in size and dog–like in appearance, they are neither felines nor canines, and are a kind of mammal native to south and southeast Asia. Civets have been heavily processed and farmed for their unique “exotic” characteristics. They secre

Murphy has gained a significant reputation in Hollywood for his bizarre, gory and sexually charged shows. Beginning in 2022, Murphy released his “Monster” series with longtime collaborator Ian Brennan. The series would dedicate each season to a different killer, with the first being Jeffrey Dahmer, then

By: Timothy Lukasik, Contributing Writer I had an accounting test today so naturally I spent all of last night on Instagram reels instead of studying. One post caught my attention. It was regarding actor Robert Pattinson and his legendary run of movies in 2026. Pattinson’s most recent film, “Primetime,” hit theaters on Sept. 25. The plot is inspired by true events, following and dramatizing the making of the 2000s reality TV show “To Catch a Predator,” with Pattinson starring

Is Campus Safety actually goofy? The Underground heard some really funny things on Monday morning and needs to research the topic more thoroughly. Stay tuned… What is really going on the third floor in Old Main? The faculty have advocated for normal classrooms, but the Underground thinks that the asking of the faculty was just a formality as the new classrooms seem to be the modernized classrooms like the ones on the first floor of Old Main. We do love our facilities team.

Adam Kozman, Opinion Editor Sameness is the lack of variety; simply uniformity. I think uniformity in daily life takes away what it is that makes life worth living. I’m talking about daily life, the things that are happening outside your front door. We live in Buffalo, N.Y. just as people live in San Francisco, Calif. and Sandusky, Ohio. We don’t have any stunning mountains or glaciers, expansive prairies or water rushing off of bright beaches. We just don’t have that. As for

A university is supposed to be a place to earn a degree. It is supposed to be a place where students are protected and heard. Cornell University’s handling of a 2024 alleged sexual assault case raises serious questions about what happens when those institutions fail. The Cornell case is representative of an epidemic of rape culture that permeates throughout American society. Rape culture is a sociological concept in which rape and sexual violence are normalized and excused d

By Hannah–Kate McFadden, Contributing Writer As of late, relations with Canada have been strained, to say the least. On Tuesday, the United States went ahead with a ban on around $1 billion worth of Canadian imports. However, this all started not so long time ago, in a galaxy too close for comfort. The Trump Administration began to impose tariffs on Canada in early 2025, which then escalated into a full–on trade war with retaliatory tariffs being imposed on the U.S. The ban

By Contributing Writers of The Griffin What is the right balance, at a university, between deteriorating our critical thinking skills and strengthening them? To even ask this question places our little school among a sea of others. Despite so many schools paving the way regarding AI regulations (whether it be in the best direction or not), Canisius seems to always find itself falling behind to the detriment of its students. Canisius has rather readily fallen into line with de

Uniland is property management and development in Buffalo. They own the office space ICE leases in Buffalo at 250 Delaware Ave. Uniland received $9.6 million in tax breaks when they were first making this space. One of Canisius’ biggest donors, the Montante family, owns Uniland. Evict ICE has a goal of convincing Montante to end the lease, or let it expire and not let them keep this as their home base in Buffalo, emphasis in Buffalo because that’s not the only space that Unil
