At 8 p.m. March 17, an officer on patrol in the Ushuaia parking lot noticed several males in a parked vehicle. The officer approached the vehicle to check on the individuals. Upon making contact with the men, the officer could detect the smell of burning marijuana and alcohol. A search of the vehicle produced several Smirnoff malt beverages, a blown glass marijuana pipe, and a bag of marijuana. As a result, one of the individuals, identified as Scott Guerin, 20, of Carmel, was issued summonses for possession of alcohol by a minor, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of a useable amount of marijuana. At this time, an officer who had arrived at Ushuaia to assist with the original incident noticed two more people in the parking lot sitting in a car with the engine running. The officer went to check on them, and watched as the female in the driver’s seat put a silver can behind the seat. When the officer made contact with the female, identified as Krista Greenleaf, 19, of Houlton, he noticed several cans of Steel Reserve beer in the back seat. As a result, Greenleaf was issued a summons for possession of alcohol by a minor.

Lights out for drunk driver; transported to county jail

At 1:23 a.m. March 23, an officer patrolling on Main Street stopped a vehicle with a headlight out. Upon contact with the driver, identified as Erik Dahlgren, 21, of New Hampshire, the officer detected the smell of intoxicating beverages coming from the car. He also noticed that Dahlgren was slow and clumsy in producing his papers. Based on these observations, the officer asked Dahlgren to perform field sobriety tests, which he failed. Dahlgren was placed under arrest for operating under the influence and transported to Penobscot County Jail. His blood-alcohol content was revealed to be 0.21.

They couldn’t escape it.

They would log on to a college hockey Web site and there it was. Turn over a newspaper and sure enough, some column was detailing the Crimson’s hot streak.

The Black Bears were tired of hearing about it. After all, how many times can you hear that your opponent has won their last seven-of-eight, and rattled off more than 32 goals in five games?

UMaine just wanted to play the game. More importantly, they were eager to let the rest of the hockey nation in on a little secret: They were more than capable themselves of finding the back of the net.

Saturday, UMaine proved it in a thorough 6-1 win over Harvard in their NCAA tournament East Regional semifinal.

“We were the underdog here tonight, but in our eyes, we knew we could beat them,” said assistant captain Michel Leveille. “They talked about them all the way in the paper. There was nothing in the paper about us. It was like they forgot about us.”

UMaine’s offensive assault on the Crimson was nothing new. Many Hockey East teams have fallen victim to this type of high octane barrage throughout the year. Despite having highly touted offenses such as New Hampshire and Boston College in their league, the Black Bears’ 131 goals are second only to Boston University in the Hockey East rankings. Led by Hobey Baker finalist and captain Greg Moore, who has 27 tallies on the year, UMaine is also third in goals per game.

Throughout the season, UMaine has seen their offensive production increase because of their depth. Saturday night was no different.

“It’s a great win; it’s one of the first times in awhile that we have played a complete, 60-minute game,” said Soares. “I think it shows everyone else what we can do if we do play a complete game. But the key is that it showed us what we could do.

“I think it might be one of the best games we have played all year.”

Sparked by an early goal by Josh Soares that came from the point at 8:16 of the first, UMaine went on to see six different players pilfer John Daginaeu’s net.

The second and most important goal, however, came from a defenseman.

The Crimson tied things up 1-1 just over a minute after Soares’ tally. But sophomore blueliner Bret Tyler rushed around the cage and snapped a wraparound chance through Daigneau’s feet only 25 seconds later.

“We knew the next goal was huge and I was lucky enough to get it,” said Tyler.

Tyler believes the key to UMaine’s offense this year has been the coaches’ approach to it. Like his teammates, Tyler admitted to getting offensive advice from assistant coach Grant Standbrook earlier this week. The advice especially worked in this case.

“I talked to [assistant] coach [Grant] Standbrook a lot this week about knowing when to pinch,” Tyler said. “I picked the right time and the defense was kind of standing flat footed, so I said ‘I am going to try and take them.’ I was able to beat them wide and then walk out front for a low shot to the blocker.”

Leveille, who registered the backbreaker that made it 4-1 UMaine, also said Standbrook and head coach Tim Whitehead provide him with assistance. The notorious playmaker, with a goal and two assists against Harvard and 39 points on the season, saw their advice pay off on a highlight-reel unassisted goal at 12:01 of the second.

“The defense just shot the puck right at me and from there I knew I had a step on the defenseman,” said Leveille. “I just wanted to take it to the net. The goalie made the first move on me and left me the top right part of the net wide open.”

Leveille said the coaches had worked with him on carrying the puck in for odd man rushes and when to shoot. Because of what he had discussed with his coaches, he knew exactly what to do after rushing out of UMaine’s defense zone into a 1-on-1 with Peter Hafner.

“I could have taken the shot wide, but I knew I had a step on the guy,” said Leveille. “I protected the puck with my leg and, you know, it was one of those things where I made up my mind early and I wasn’t going to change it.”

Leveille was joined in the scoring column by teammates John Hopson, Moore and Brent Shepheard, as well as Soares and Tyler. Moore, who had an empty netter at 16:24 and Shepheard, who tipped in a Rob Bellamy shot on the power play in the final minute, both scored their goals with the game seemingly in hand.

“Without a doubt, that was one of our most complete games,” said Tyler. “Coach had us in the right mindset tonight.”

The scores were also created by some different and varied faces. Chris Hahn, in for suspended forward Derek Damon, picked up the slack and recorded an assist. Others netting assists were Leveille with two, Keenan Hopson and Rob Bellamy.

Freshman goalie Ben Bishop feels the sustained pressure on the Crimson net front comes from a good aggressive back checking.

“The most effective thing tonight for our team was the way our forwards were back checking,” said Bishop. “If our forwards backcheck like that every game, teams are going to have a hard time beating us.”

According to Bishop, if UMaine is back checking, then they are doing everything correctly. Saturday, this system worked as UMaine peppered the Crimson net with 44 shots.

Whitehead was not willing to discredit the talented Harvard defense, though.

“Sometimes that happens,” said Whitehead about UMaine’s offensive success. “We got some bounces early. We got to the net pretty well.”

Even more commendable was the fact that UMaine scored all but two goals in five-on-five situations.

“Special teams are critical but if you can score a few goals five-on-five it’s major,” said Leveille.

UMaine was 1-for-7 on the power play, and held Harvard to 0-5 with the man-advantage.

While the forwards stole the show, Bishop turned in another impressive outing with 25 saves in his first ever NCAA tournament game. His lone blemish came at 9:32 of the first period when Mike Taylor tapped in a rebound off Bishop’s right leg pad. The second chance opportunity came after a Nick Coskren shot from above the far face off dot. Bishop’s foe on the other end, Daigneau, concluded his career with 38 saves.

“He plays with such poise back there,” said Soares about Bishop. “The way he plays that puck is amazing. He just has so much confidence. He is making the big saves when we need it. He is playing phenomenal right now; he has been the backbone for us.”

For the Black Bears, the tenacious start and complete game were also compliments of an attitude they had drilled into themselves this past week.

“It’s the NCAA’s, if you’re not coming out hard like that then you shouldn’t be in this sport at all,” said Ryan. “It’s do or die.”

Blue, green and yellow streamers, balloons and confetti gave the party a little flare, while revelers dined on Latin cuisine and were entertained by songs and speeches.

After Interim Director of Multicultural Programs Jose Cordero and Latin American Student Association President Ana-Ramona Gilbert welcomed the audience, Spanish students read selections from great Spanish-speaking poets such as Chillean-born Pablo Neruda and Mexican-born Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz.

A few technical difficulties had to be worked out, but in good humor LASO members Jessica Cancel and Nestor Gonzalez serenaded the audience with “No Me Ames,” a song by Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez about the pain and regret of love.

Dr. Robert Dana, dean of students wowed the audience beginning his speech with a introduction in Spanish he later admitted to receiving a little help with. Dana reminded students that though this event was a great celebration they must never forget to celebrate their heritage the other 364 days of the year in “Latin thinking and thought.”

Dana mentioned influential persons of Latino descent from the “Queen of Salsa” Celia Cruz to UMaine’s very own assistant director of campus activities for student organizations and Greek Life, Gustavo Burkett.

Traditionally the event is held in late September, early October as part of an unofficial Latino Heritage celebration month, according to Cordero. Important events in Latino culture like el Dia de Los Muertos and Mexican independence occur in the fall and UMaine’s event is a culmination of those celebrations. The dinner and dance is usually the capstone to other Latino celebration events and educational programs.

“The attendance part is the easiest part,” Gilbert said. “Everyone loves this event.” Funding however, is a different story, and this year LASO couldn’t go through with plans as usual and the celebration was delayed until funds were made available this spring due to funding issues with Student Government.

Ultimately the timing of the event worked out well as Operation Breaking Stereotypes was able to attend the event. OBS, a group of students from Riverdale Kingsbridge Academy from the Bronx in New York City on exchange with another group from Orono High School, made the event a part of their tour of the UMaine campus this weekend.

The event “gives students a snapshot as to what life is like at the University of Maine as a student of color,” Cordero said. It is good, clean, healthy fun, on-campus, well-intentioned and for an educational purpose, as well as being fun, he said. “Culture should be fun, and diversity should be fun.”

Cordero estimates that around 15 students of color have come to UMaine through participation in the OBS program in the past three years, and are a value to the diversity program as these are “students that come that know the community [at UMaine] better,” as opposed to other students of color who might not have ever visited the campus.

LASO with a record membership of 22 students this year is working hard to further diversity awareness programs. They will be attending the New England for Latino Student Leadership conference April 7 and 8 at Dartmouth College, and have been part of UMaine’s effort in reaching out to Mexican migrant workers living in the state. All are welcome to participate in LASO, which meets on Saturday afternoons at 3 p.m. For more information, contact LASO President Ana-Ramona Gilbert on FirstClass.

About 20 faculty, staff and students attended the forum and heard plans for a new plaza near Barrows Hall as well as the Campus Arboretum’s proposed replacement of the mall trees.

Paul Cloke Plaza will be located between Barrows Hall, the Advanced Manufacturing Center and East Annex.

Chet Rock, associate dean for research and finance for the College of Engineering, explained the committee’s plans for the plaza.

Most prominent will be a 38-foot structure meant to evoke the emblematic clock tower. The clock once topped Wingate Hall before a fire gutted the building in 1943. The clock tower was not rebuilt with the rest of the building.

The tower, which would be freestanding in the plaza, will be held up with four corner pillars with a space for students to walk beneath.

The plan calls for the clock to be made by Balzer Clockworks of Freeport, the United States’ only mechanical clockmaker.

Rock said the tower’s bell, which rang loud enough to be heard across the campus, was damaged in the fire.

After years of sitting on display around campus, the bell disappeared.

Rock said the Planning Committee is searching for the original bell in hopes of putting it in the tower.

“It’s probably sitting in somebody’s barn in the area,” he said, adding that if found, the bell could be rung to commemorate special occasions.

Rock said alumni from the 1940s have fond memories of the bell, and hanging it again “might attract more people and get them interested in fundraising.

Certainly it would serve as an attraction if we were able to have it here.”

The funding for the plaza comes from the construction of the Barrows Hall addition and the Advanced Manufacturing Center.

The cost of the buildings included money for landscaping and grounds work, so there is $200,000 for the plaza.

In addition to that money, there is $170,000 set aside for art in the plaza thanks to the two expensive engineering buildings and a Maine law requiring that 1 percent of building costs be allocated to art.

Finally Rock said there has been discussion of a small amphitheater next to East Annex, but it isn’t included in the current budget.

Once the tower and artwork are installed, they expect the amphitheater to come back into consideration.

Rock said Cloke Plaza would add a needed gathering place on the campus, as UMaine currently has few.

Paul Cloke was dean of the College of Engineering from 1926-50, back when it was called the College of Technology.

He worked in Wingate Hall when the fire destroyed it in 1943.

The Plaza is still pending approval, but feedback at the forum was positive.

Christopher Campbell, professor of plant systematics in the department of biological sciences, outlined the plan to replace the ash trees on the mall with Quercus bicolor, a white oak which Campbell said are more appropriate for a formal green space like the mall.

He outlined a list of problems with the green ash trees on the mall including their poor growth form and susceptibility to ice storm damage.

The university would not use public funds for the project, Campbell said.

Instead, the opportunity to donate money for the trees would go onto a menu of needs presented to potential private donors.

When UMaine eventually replaces the ash trees, Campbell said the planting would be just a matter of a few days.

“It would be very well orchestrated, and done quickly with minimum delay.”

The proposal faced dissent from Nadiya Dragan, a graduate student in the communication department. Dragan collected broken acorns from Quercus bicolors already on campus that squirrels had broken open.

“It’s going to be very annoying because rodents will come and crack them and we will have pieces all over the grass,” Dragan said.

Dragan said the smaller trees would leave the mall ugly for years.

According to Campbell, after buying the trees and acclimating them in a separate space for two years, they would be 15-20 feet tall when planted.

Campbell said one of the benefits to the species is a high early growth rate of about a foot per year, and that within 30-35 years of planting the oaks would be as high as the current trees.

Dragan said she is opposed on principle to replacing the ash trees.

“The idea that trees are not perfect enough for the mall doesn’t seem right to me. People are not perfect,” Dragan said. “We don’t deject them from society because they are not perfect.”

Campbell said he is confident that replacing the ash trees is best for UMaine.

“It would not be the spectacular green space for a few decades, certainly, but you have to wait for good things.”

For the first time in years, the Bumstock committee made a tough decision that benefits UMaine students. They decided to divert a significant portion of the Bumstock budget to bring mtvU’s Campus Invasion to UMaine.

Declining attendance and rising costs have put the university behind the eight ball on the issue of Bumstock. Each year more and more students complain that it is a huge disappointment, yet they will also complain if it is disbanded. This is a step in the right direction: the phasing-out.

The decision to send concert money elsewhere will diminish Bumstock, that’s for sure. But this money will be sent to a better-organized and more-experienced staff that knows how to plan a concert. Besides, a concert is a concert, who cares what banner it’s under?

Admitting that someone else can do it better was a bitter pill for the Bumstock committee to swallow, but it was a decision made with the students in mind.

Orono Town Council makes a compromise

Disappointment followed the Orono Town Council election results with students fearing that their opinions and wishes would continue to be disregarded in a town where they make up about half the voting population. Three UMaine students were defeated in their bids for council seats after the Town Council’s decisions threatened to close a popular venue for student entertainment.

In light of recent events centering on the power struggle between UMaine students and the residents of Orono, the revival of the UMaine Relations Committee is one welcomed step towards a more harmonious relationship between the two groups.

Open communication is important and having this, hopefully enduring venue for discussion, will help to avert future discontent and misunderstandings. In subsequent years it may be advantageous to allow students to make the decision of which students will sit on the panel to represent them as well.

For those wondering what I am getting at, it’s an old expression in college basketball referring to a Cinderella team. Cinderella teams are those schools that have a good run but like the character herself, they have to leave the ball early.

In this case, Cinderella may not be leaving at all. With the possible exception of the University of Florida, this year’s Final Four is comprised of nothing but Cinderella teams.

Instead of turning a pumpkin into a carriage, they turned every analyst such as a Billy Packer or Dick Vitale into a casual fan watching the tournament because not too many people saw this coming.

Florida, George Mason, LSU and UCLA.

Not to take anything away from the other three schools, but having George Mason in the Final Four has to come as the biggest surprise. Florida, LSU and UCLA don’t come as that big of a surprise because as this tournament kept going, these teams were legitimate threats to win the whole thing.

But George Mason in the Final Four?

The only thing that school is a legitimate threat for is well, yeah, I can’t really think of anything. That’s my point. When you think college basketball powerhouses this is a school that does not come to mind.

Jumping on the Colonial bandwagon seems like it’s the trendy thing to do because after all, that is what March Madness is all about. It’s about schools and teams that not many people have heard of attempting to make a name for themselves.

When you look at all these teams, they all have great stories behind them. Realistically, none of these teams were chosen to go this far and in LSU and UF’s case, they were not even picked to win the Southeastern Conference going into the season. If you had asked anyone in SEC Land what two teams would be going to the Final Four, most would have said Kentucky and Tennessee.

In UCLA’s case, people knew they were going to be good but to get back to the Final Four for the first time in almost a decade was something not too many people expected.

No matter who wins, here is one thing that can be said – it’s a good thing that the Final Four turned out this way. Let’s be honest, normally when this thing has come down to four teams, we all know who is going to win and that makes it somewhat boring. Now that there is no clear winner, this tournament should be more exciting.

Seeing George Mason win the whole thing may not be that bad. This is only the second time in history where an 11-seed has made the Final Four. Then again seeing any of the other teams win may not be bad.

Even though the Colonials may not win this, there is at least one certainty – either way, this Cinderella is going to be leaving the ball with one massive hangover.

Two University of Maine researchers are intent on answering this question by examining the extent to which hazing occurs and the forms it takes across a range of student organizations in post-secondary institutions.

Elizabeth Allen, assistant professor of higher education and leadership and Mary Madden, assistant research professor presented the results of a pilot study they conducted last spring to a group of UMaine students and faculty. The results are phase one of what will be a national study on student hazing.

While many people think of hazing as directly linked to Greek life, encouraged by movies like “Animal House” and “Old School,” the reality is that hazing is an issue that occurs in a diverse range of student organizations.

The researchers found hazing in the ROTC, teams, club sports and other student organizations including band and performing arts clubs in addition to Greek letter organizations.

“I think the results of the study will be pro-Greek as in it recognizes that hazing happens in a lot of organizations,” said Gus Burkett, assistant director of campus activities for student organizations and Greek life. “Overall I think UMaine is a safe campus and we haven’t had any [observable] hazing.”

Allan and Madden developed a Web-based, 70-item survey that included incentives providing a 90 percent completion rate by the participants.

The data is based on the surveys of 1,789 full-time students across four post-secondary institutions within the northeastern United States.

Of the students surveyed, 24 percent were part of recreation or club sports teams, 14 percent were involved in academic groups, 15 percent were in honors and 22 percent said they didn’t participate in any group.

Forms of hazing that were reported were drinking games, humiliation, being yelled, screamed or cursed at, forced to get sick or pass out, and deprived of sleep.

In more extreme cases tattoos and piercings, sexual acts and “paddling” were part of initiation.

For the purposes of this study, hazing was defined as any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses or endangers them regardless of a person’s willingness to participate.

A brief discussion followed the presentation, and an audience member brought up the question of whether reality shows like “Fear Factor” feed a culture of hazing with their practices of forcing individuals to eat cockroaches or lay in a pit of snakes.

Alumni of these student organizations are also targeted as players in the issue, often encouraging the practices in the guise of tradition.

Another audience member pointed out that the United States Army is an institution where hazing is regularly used and accepted as a means of breaking down individuality to build a unit; in a way the government is showing support for the practice and part of the increasing insensitivity to some of the activities.

“A lot of adults said there wasn’t any harm in the hazing, that it was just good character building,” said Madden.

Many audience members found the data obtained on advisor and-or coach involvement most surprising.

Of those surveyed, 38 percent of advisors and or coaches said they were not involved in hazing in any way; 22 percent said they were involved and 40 percent said they were aware but tried not to know too much.

Across the board there is a lack of student awareness about hazing policies.

If an organization does have a policy, students often admit having never been shown it, or never taken the time to review it, said Allan.

Even if they are aware of the policies against hazing, or just feel that the acts are wrong or unsafe many students don’t report the incidents for fear of retribution.

“There’s so much secrecy and silence about this topic. It’s very humiliating [to the victims] so you don’t hear much about it until there is a tragedy,” said Allan.

There is a lack of understanding of what hazing is and people need to realize that it is more than being dropped off in the middle of the field naked, in below-freezing weather and made to find your way home.

“It’s all about proving yourself,” Madden agreed with an audience member.

“It is felt that the best way to organize a group is with a common experience,” said Robert Dana, dean of students.

“For some reason in this country, they think it should be a negative experience. Hazing is a slippery-slope and at UMaine it is not tolerated.”

Showing broad based national support, 22 national organizations have signed onto the $30,000 pilot study including the NCAA, Pi Beta Phi and NACDA.

The pilot study is a small portion of what will end up being an estimated net $250,000 investment for the two-to-three more years of the project’s duration.

A student in the hall stood up and started shouting in protest. I was shocked, and said to Anita Maria, “how awful!”

She looked at me and said, “How awful? How wonderful! Don’t you live in a democracy?”

The university students were protesting in Chile because their financial aid had been cut drastically. Students I had talked to would not be able to return to school.

Chile lived under the violent dictator Augusto Pinochet from 1973- 1990. For those 17 years, the people of Chile were oppressed and thousands were tortured and killed for opposing Pinochet. Freedom of speech is a recent and wonderful thing for the people of Chile.

This freedom to criticize the government is the essence of democracy. Would the United States of America have been formed if brave individuals hadn’t spoken out? Likewise, would the unjust, illegal and inhumane war that grows more out-of-control every day in Iraq continue if more citizens stood up to the powers that perpetuate it?

CNN reports that a record 60 percent of the public polled by Gallup last week does not support the war, and 57 percent said the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. On May 2, 2003, almost three years ago, Bush declared the war “mission accomplished” and yet last week we saw the most intense air raids and bombing since the beginning of the war. There were no weapons of mass destruction. The administration lied to the citizens of this country.

As many as 37,000 Iraqis and 2,319 U.S. soldiers have died in this war, according to http://icasualties.org/oif/. Thousands more are injured. More than one-third of soldiers returning home sought therapy upon returning to the states. This war is a tragedy, and we need to stop it.

The killing of innocent people is not ethical. Torture is not ethical. Yet on Thursday, Senator Susan Collins spoke on campus about the “The Ethics of Conscience.” She failed to mention, let alone attempt to explain, the U.S. military invasion of Iraq until pressed in questioning. The United States is waging a major war in the Middle East that will cost our generation billions of dollars and she did not even begin to discuss it. She is one of the legislators who are supporting this unjust war. She is responsible for the war in Iraq.

I am proud to be one who rose to support Maine artist Robert Shetterly when he interrupted the question and answer period to speak out against the war. Like the student in Chile being denied his education, Shetterly had every right to speak up for those being denied their lives in Iraq.

For over a year Maine peace activists have been asking Sen. Collins to hold a town hall meeting with constituents to discuss Iraq. Rep. Mike Michaud participated in two such meetings this year. Collins and Senator Olympia Snowe have both refused to do so, but meanwhile meet regularly with powerful corporate and special interest lobbyists in D.C. When will they listen to the people of Maine?

Since Collins refuses to meet with the concerned citizens, they came to her. Shetterly and the rest of us were peaceful and dignified. We did not disrupt her speech. We did not boo. We did, however, make our sentiments known to our representative who does not want to listen but must. This was a polite and dignified way of expressing our freedom of speech and promoting democracy. As Anita Maria would have said, “How wonderful!”

Sarah Bigney is a junior peace studies major.

Motion City Soundtrack is a punk-emo band who released their latest CD, “Commit This to Memory,” last year on Epitaph Records. “The response to them has been incredible,” said Joe Armenia, vice president of music marketing and promotion for MTV. “We wanted to get behind them and give them that little bit of extra boost by giving them this tour slot.”

Second openers Straylight Run have a similar but less predictable sound to Motion City Soundtrack. According to Armenia, Straylight Run have a great relationship with the headliners and are natural tourmates. Openers Hellogoodbye won MTV2′s “Circuit Breakout,” a battle-of-the-bands-themed show. The bands will be around during the day greeting fans and signing autographs.

Derek Mitchell, vice president of Student Entertainment, was enthusiastic about the lineup. “These bands are actually bands we were looking at trying to get for Bumstock but they were on tour so it was impossible,” said Mitchell. “When this opportunity came to us we were thrilled to have it.”

During the day, there will be an “interactive village” where students can play music video trivia or learn to DJ courtesy of DJ Scratch Academy. “We’re going to have this really tricked-out, spaced-out, high-tech interactive way of learning how to DJ,” said Armenia.

The village will last all day and include chances for students to play games and win prizes. “We call it ‘invasion’ because it’s not just a concert, it’s something that goes on all day for everyone that goes,” said Armenia. “Stop by when you can, get some free swag, and get excited about the concert, hopefully.”

Lifebeat, a music industry AIDS awareness initiative, will be on the tour as well. Most dates on the tour are including donations to Lifebeat as part of the admission cost, but as the show will be free to students the organization will instead put donation boxes around the village.

The mtvU Campus Invasion will augment Bumstock to give students a better spring concert experience, as Mitchell admitted it was difficult finding Bumstock headliners. “April 22 is probably one of the most booked dates in college booking this year, which makes booking Bumstock incredibly difficult,” he said.

Because Student Entertainment just booked the date, some details are still unclear. Mitchell said no locations have been confirmed yet, but the village will likely be in the field behind Fogler Library and the concert will probably be in the parking lot beside the Maine Center for the Arts or in Lengyel Field. Mitchell said admission will be available to non-students at an as-yet undetermined cost.
