The Adversary Rochester, The Adversary UR or simply just “The Adversary” (I have no idea—someone please help me out here) launched online in October 2015 with the mission of making all self-described “edgy” UR Students’ voices heard. Here at Campus Times, we are losing our damn minds.

The Adversary debuted with a 66-second YouTube video, which voiced the true opinions of the students. It’s not absolutely clear what new and true opinions The Adversary intends to bring to the table; but, if you’re interested in hearing students yell profanities about Safe Ride, this video is for you. I mean, nothing says unfair like a free service to drive you home when you’re drunk. Right?

This new student-run online newspaper brings to the table everything the Campus Times could not, including but not limited to: articles with color, mentions of bars, sex, sports,  grammatical mistakes, already-established opinions about student life, click-bait, fun and relatable cussing, hopefully political opinions (please, pretty please) and a beautiful “trending” bar (students really eat that up.) Oh, and ideas the Campus Times has already covered—almost forgot about that one. It’s a good thing they’re doing that because we’re not allowed to rewrite articles, and readers need the same content. They need it.

Knowing that our days are numbered here at Campus Times, we’ve frantically sent letters to our exactly 11 consistent readers detailing The Adversary’s fun and exciting platform and providing warning of our imminent demise. It’s time for you to start reading The Adversary—we’re washed up. Hopefully, it can touch your heart, like it has all of ours at the Campus Times. From the Campus Times to you, whoever it is that actually reads these articles, thanks for the journey. “UR Heard.”

Oh, and read The Buzz, too.

As recently as the early 2010s, it was standard practice for surgeons to provide 30 to 40 or more opioid pills for common, minimally invasive procedures. Most of these pills, however, would remain untouched, left over in the patient’s medical cabinet or kitchen pantries for potential misuse. A team of researchers led by URMC’s Dr. Jacob Moalem set out to reduce these opioid overprescriptions. Read More

While looking for something to do on a Friday evening, five of us at the Campus Times made our way down to ESL Ballpark April 17 to catch a Rochester Red Wings game. Our group boasted a Mets fan, a Yankees fan, a Padres fan, a Twins fan, and one person more familiar with cricket than with baseball. Read More
