Ninja Turtle fans have not had much to look forward to for more than a decade now. There was the trilogy of live action films in the early ’90s – the first one being the only one worth it’s weight in pizza – and then zip, nada.
Hot New Trends
Ladies, there is nothing hotter in semi-formal wear this season than the black jacket. You can spend anywhere from $10.00 to $500.00 on this classic, must-have wardrobe piece. As long as the fit is flattering to your body type, you’re as good as gold.
The Maine Peace Action Committee’s sixth film in its semester-long film series, “To Disobey,” was featured last Thursday night at 7 p.m. in Little Hall. The film, focusing on individual cases of defiance and disobedience from several soldiers, attracted a variety of audience members ranging from veterans to professors and students.
Say you’re having a particularly boring Saturday, or perhaps enjoying a few afternoon drinks at the Number Ten, and you decide to explore the shops lining Main Street in Old Town. Regardless of the circumstances, you can count yourself lucky if you wander into Dave’s Books – Old Town’s best-kept secret and a model of what every used bookstore should aspire to be.
The other day I was looking through The Maine Campus’ archives, and I came across a Word of Mouth question from 1967 [well, that era's equivalent of Word of Mouth, anyway].

We all have guilty pleasures, but some are worse than others. Some people like Anime, “Dance Dance Revolution,” Dolph Lundgren movies, professional wrestling, fart jokes or all of the above. Many people make asses out of themselves, though, while practicing their guilty pleasures.

These are real men, the kind who can build a fully functional shelter, complete with a kitchenette, using nothing but spare parts from an old washing machine.

Spring Break is a time for students to relax and catch that second wind to help them finish the semester strong. One group of University of Maine students chose to forgo the festivities of spring break to volunteer with the group MEDLIFE to help give medical attention to underprivileged people of Ecuador.
ROCHESTER, NY – The Bishop household better get out the air mattresses – company is on the way.
For the second consecutive year and fourth in the last six, the University of Maine men’s ice hockey team is headed back to the Frozen Four, which this time around is in St. Louis, only minutes away from sophomore netminder Ben Bishop’s hometown of Des Peres, Mo.
