You hear them at class, out at dinner and at the movies. They range from subtle to obnoxious, from catchy to cliche and from tolerable to downright maddening. Regardless of your call, cell phone ring tones are out of control.
According to Reuters, global ring tone revenues topped $3.
At Memorial Union on the library side is a man holding a giant poster. Did anyone catch what was on the poster? If you missed that part of the tour at the University of Maine, it was a picture of a fetus. I didn’t see the word “abortion” on the poster, so it took me a few seconds to figure out it was a dead baby.
* Vote for Reed
I am asking my fellow students, University of Maine faculty and employees to consider Bill Reed’s candidacy for the Maine House, District 19, on Nov. 2.
I have been honored to know Reed for 15 years. During that time, he has been a UMaine Senior Skull, a founder and the first curator of the Page Farm & Home Museum, which preserves our history on campus, an Alpha Phi Omega brother and a student representative to the UMaine System.
AIDS awareness here at UMaine
It has been over 20 years since the first public case of AIDS, and the disease still infects thousands of Americans each day. AIDS is a scourge in Africa, infecting over three million people on that continent alone last year.
What “Dawn of the Dead” lacks in plot, it makes up for in special effects. The film was released on an unrated, special edition DVD on Tuesday, just in time for Halloween festivities.
“Dead,” a remake of the 1978 original, tells the tale of a town hit with an unknown virus which turns citizens into zombies – but not your average zombies.
Phi Kappa Sigma promises to deliver plenty of scares and frights this Saturday and Sunday night, as they present their ninth annual Haunted House. The haunted house will be hosted from 7 to 11 p.m. both nights and is free with MaineCard, although donations will be accepted to benefit the fraternity’s philanthropy, the National Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
There are things about our university that everyone loves, from Bumstock weekend to Bananas the Bear, to University of Maine hockey. Despite the enjoyment of our alma mater, the National Student Exchange program offers students the choice to study in institutions across the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands and Canada while paying UMaine tuition.
A story of courage, love and loss, “Bent” opened this past Friday at Hauck Auditorium. Receiving a standing ovation at each of the its three performances over the course of the weekend, “Bent” is a must-see for any lover of theater arts. Audience members are forewarned, however: the content is not for the close-minded or prude.
On Tuesday afternoon, the University of Maine men’s soccer team saw their playoff aspirations and goal of finishing the season above .500 take a major blow. The Black Bears suffered a gut-wrenching 1-0 loss to Holy Cross on Tuesday.
The game served as a disappointing homecoming for Andy Halligan, Eric Petersen and Jimmy Velas as they returned to play in front of family and friends at Falmouth High.
Fresh off a 13-7 victory over the New York Jets, the undefeated New England Patriots roll into Pittsburgh to face the 5-1 Steelers at Heinz Field Sunday. Not that these old rivals needed any incentive for this game, but Steelers running back Jerome Bettis made a bold statement on last week’s CBS pregame show.
