Look out folks, the state of Colorado just opened Pandora’s box. That’s right. If you liked the election debacle that took place in Florida four years ago, then you’re going to be doing cartwheels over Colorado in 2004.
In case you missed it, the state of Colorado, in hopes of enraging republicans and democrats across our fine nation, has implanted a statewide initiative that would rewrite the rules for apportioning out Colorado’s nine electoral votes.
The theme of this year’s Greek Week encompasses the four main ideals of Greek Life at the University of Maine – leadership, scholarship, community service, socialization – and fun.
“It’s a chance for people to show pride in being Greek. It’s a chance to show themselves off.
