For our series “Editors’ Picks,” we ask the staff each the same question and give you their unfiltered responses– interruptions included. Happy picking! Question: What’s the spookiest thing that’s ever happened to you on or off campus?  Sara: My phone number is apparently the former number of a now dead gravesite caretaker, so I’d always get calls from families about needing gravesites for their deceased loved ones.  Hannah: Seeing Kaitlin O’Meara passing me in the halls. (th

Happy Halloween! The Underground would like to remind everyone not to check your candy, especially the ones from the suspicious-looking houses and off-putting individuals. It adds flavor!  Well, seniors registered for classes this week, and with almost half of The Griffin  staff being seniors, we fear The Griffin itself might not be able to register for another year of publishing: A scary thought indeed, but we here at The Underground are ready and willing to step in and shak

By: Sophie Asher, Multimedia Director Sharing harsh opinions and giving unsolicited advice is what I do best, so you already know it’s time for me to give another “Dancing With the Stars” review! This time, we’re more than halfway through the season, so my opinions have changed quite a bit since last I wrote.  “In no particular order,” I want to go through the remaining eight couples (plus the most recently eliminated pair) and share my thoughts on where I think each of them

By: Lucas R. Watson, Layout Editor Cities across North America are often said to be poorly designed, but oftentimes, they have been poorly redesigned. In my previous article, I discussed the toxic relationship between Buffalo and the automobile, mentioning the extensive public transit the city once had and how, objectively, Buffalo was a very well-designed city. It was a city designed around people, and this is to say clearly, cities should be designed around people, not cars

For our series “Editors’ Picks,” we ask the staff each the same question and give you their unfiltered responses– interruptions included. Happy picking! Question: If aliens landed on campus, what class would you recommend they take? Andrew: Ummmm “Social Media Storytelling” ‘cause I think it would help them understand our culture better, especially because technology is so prevalent in today’s world.  Hannah: I feel like I would just have them take an English class, but like

The Underground is back! Did you miss us? Oh you did? We didn’t miss you. Bah humbug. This note is directed to Canisius facilities: the pool is in the Koessler Athletic Center, and if you want to fill it using the power of nature through rain, please redirect leaks from the fourth floor of Old Main down the street to the KAC. Like, that there was rain pouring down the walls and onto our classmates’ heads is just jarring. I guess we forgot our suits? That was not on our class

By: Ashley Kurz, Managing Editor Next week is going to be my fifth Halloween at Canisius, and although I am not planning on celebrating on campus, I’ve had enough experience to share. Halloween costumes have meant something different to me each year; for example, in my freshman year I had no money to spend. This actually ended up leading to one of my favorite costumes to date: a yearbook. I had a stained pair of white jeans I could no longer wear, a cheap tank top from Aerie,

Earlier this week, we found out my aunt, who lives in the Philippines, became an inpatient in the hospital due to a medical emergency in which she would receive immediate surgery. The entire procedure, including her hospital stay and medications, would total over two hundred thousand pesos – in USD, that equals around four thousand dollars or more. PhilHealth, the health insurance every Filipino is mandatorily enrolled in, covers basic expenses for those who are employed, sel
