The front page of the November 8, 1993 issue of The Spectrum, the student newspaper of the State University of New York at Buffalo, contains a large headline that reads, “Nirvana drenches 7,000 at Alumni,” with a subheadline crediting Spectrum editors Alicia Wing and Hakeem Oseini II. The central article covers Nirvana’s recent concert at Alumni Arena, highlighting the crowd size, student reactions, and the band’s performance. A large black-and-white image below the headline shows Kurt Cobain playing guitar and singing under stage lights. A smaller image at the bottom left shows an individual being crowd-surfed by the audience. To the right is another article titled “First Lady discusses health plan,” written by Dinah M. Reese. It summarizes Hillary Rodham Clinton’s address to the New York State Library Association in Niagara Falls, focusing on healthcare reform and library involvement in public education. The top banner includes three brief highlights: the Campus Cash card (page 3), Main Street series (page 13), and Bulls football loss (back page).
