“Rose Marasco Domestic Objects Past and Presence”
Through Saturday, Jan.
Graduation is still more then five months away, but members of the Class of 2005 are already planning how to best leave their mark on the University of Maine.
In the recent past, most graduating classes have done little, if anything, in the way of giving a class gift to UMaine.
For the second weekend in a row, the University of Maine women’s hockey team learned that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
After coming back twice to tie the game, a late third-period goal and a penalty-filled final minute stopped the Black Bears’ quest for their first conference win.
The University of Maine Deans of Students Office has been working hand in hand with various nontraditional students and other organizations to start a group for students with children. An informational coffee session was held for students with children to discuss the possibilities of creating a group and a facility to make things easier for the students on campus who are also raising children.
A few days ago, I was at a restaurant when an interesting topic was brought up. There was an old WWII-era sign hanging on the wall that said, “Eat Fish … Save the Meat for Our Troops.” The point was made that “people these days would never put up with something like that,” which really got me thinking.
Video game aficionados are a fickle lot. Serve them up something clever, original and fun, and they’ll offer free word-of-mouth advertising that trumps even the most expensive Madison Avenue ad campaign. Offer them a plate of unfinished, untested, un-fun crap, and they’ll bury your game within days of release.
In my capacity as a student legal advisor, I see many instances where pranks, experiments, misunderstandings or sheer inadvertence by college students result in prosecution for a criminal offense.
As citizens, we are expected to know all of the laws, despite the fact that the legal codes would fill a significant portion of Fogler Library (or a handful of CD’s).
From American metal to Japanese metalcore, Ushuaia had it all Wednesday night as Dope’s American Apathy Tour rolled into town. The show, which featured Dope, Twisted Method, Spanam and Bedlam, was an exercise in fighting the system, which happened several times throughout the event.
The No. 5 team in the country, University of New Hampshire, had its way with the University of Maine football team in the first half of Saturday’s matchup en route to a 50-36 UNH victory over the Black Bears. The win helped the Wildcats retain the Brice-Cowell Musket for the second straight season.
Few things can brighten my day like an entertaining episode of “SpongeBob SquarePants.” Whether I’m hung over or just feeling a little blue, the shenanigans of SpongeBob and Patrick always seem to make things just a little better. I’m not sure as to why, though.
