WMEB DJ Aerin Raymond enjoys bringing variety to the University of Maine campus with her cleverly titled show, “Aerin in the Afternoon.” Raymond described the show as “indie, pop, rock, alternative, electronica, anything I feel like playing.”
On her show, Raymond enjoys showcasing artists that many students on campus may not have heard of.
ORONO – In two hours their playoff fate went out of their hands and into Providence’s.
Despite scoring two late goals, the University of Maine women’s ice hockey team was defeated by the Boston College Eagles 3-2 on Sunday afternoon at Alfond Arena in the final weekend of regular season Hockey East action.
The famed musical “Jesus Christ Superstar” ran here at the University of Maine over the last two weekends. I waited until this past Saturday night to attend, figuring it would be a little less busy than opening night last weekend. How wrong I was.
I ended up sitting next to a very nice, middle-aged woman with whom I had an interesting conversation at intermission.
The crowd sits hushed and anxious; it’s a sold-out show and the last performance. A distorted guitar solo crashes in, followed by the support of the rest of the orchestra.

?I don?t know what to say.
Five more days and then for many students, Panama City Beach, South Padre Island, Cancun, and Jamaica- spring break is here. It’s time to toss the text books in a corner, shed pounds of winter gear, and head south. But despite leaving all your cares and worries behind, there is one thing you should not toss in the corner and forget to pack: safety.
This coming month will see one of the Residents on Campus’ most original and exciting events to date: The Campus Cribs Competition. The competition will be a collaboration between ROC and Hall Governing Board staff.
Starting tomorrow and running through March 24, students can submit applications to their HGB.

North Andover, Mass. – Michel Leveille’s face said it all.
Barely 12 minutes after the University of Maine men’s ice hockey squad had completed a weekend sweep, their second straight, against Merrimack, the junior assistant captain stood drained to the bone.

At the end of this week, thousands of students from all over the country will descend on Florida, Mexico and the Caribbean in search of fun in the sun.
This break is well deserved for many students. It is a reward for a year’s worth of hard work and is a chance to put the books aside and escape the frigid tundra of Orono.
