Notes from the Underground 04/11/2025

Canisius University’s final Accepted Students Day (ASD) is this weekend, garnering much excitement across campus. The Institute of Autism Research, however, will be boycotting ASD until admissions agrees to stop using that acronym. 

As Accepted Students Days come and go, the school year’s end is being signaled, and with that, come even more conclusionary events for different clubs and organizations at Canisius. Despite our student leaders’ stress as they try to attend banquets, inductions and awards ceremonies, a study by Peter T. Griffon, PhD, shows an increase in these students’ well-being during these times. Dr. Griffon attributes this to the fact that these events help to finally satisfy their social needs on Maslow’s hierarchy – needs that these students in particular tend to neglect, often not by choice. 

With Easter nearly upon us, The Underground would finally like to announce the Easter egg hunt it will be hosting over the break! This year, in light of recent struggles on campus and in the U.S. economy, this hunt will be for dining staff only and we will be hiding real, raw eggs for them to make our breakfasts with. 

With one public safety officer per shift, it appears they are too busy to even answer our several emails for a quote in news. 

Seeing that scientists have figured out how to reintroduce the Dire Wolf after being extinct for 10,000 years, The Underground was thinking that the admission staff could use it to reintroduce new students?
