By Matt Williams
Daren Stone, Mike DeVito and Matt King can rest easy tonight – their football careers are not over. Lifelong dreams came true for the trio of the University of Maine gridiron stars yesterday, as the National Football League came calling for their services.

Patriots corner
By Seth Poplaski
The NFL draft, like previous years, was full of surprises. Brady Quinn was taken at the No. 22 spot to the Cleveland Browns when he was supposed to go No. 3. The Miami Dolphins chose Teddy Ginn Jr. instead of taking Quinn. The biggest shocker for any team, in my opinion, was the Oakland Raiders trading Randy Moss to the New England Patriots.

Epic comeback for UM
By Tyler Francke
Yesterday, the University of Maine softball team gathered together for a Senior Day game against the University of Albany in which it seemed like just about everything was going against them. Coming off a season in which they had recorded the most wins in school history, their record of 21-25 was not what they had hoped it would be, despite losing seven seniors from last year’s squad.

Time of my life: The best and worst of one scribe’s four years
By Matt Williams
What a day – the New England Patriots pulled the trigger on a deal to bring Randy Moss to Boston and at the same time I’m trying to pull all the thoughts of the last three years together for this column. You see, this is my swan song. Some people – I’m looking at you, Bananas fans – will be thrilled to know that I’m graduating and won’t be sports czar here at The Maine Campus next year.

The Campies ‘07
By The Maine Campus
The Maine Channel The Maine Channel has been around for awhile, but has really started to pick up steam thanks to its new funding and the direction of outgoing executive Andrew Eldridge and student staff. Delivering classic student-produced shows like John Enkosky and Travis Bourassa’s “Mouthguard,” likely the only debate-slash-boxing program on television, is just one strength of the channel.

A lectern, a slide show and the history of Rock and Roll
By Brett Sowerby
Thoughts that spring to mind when thinking of 80s music are tight pants, big hair and an air guitar backed up with some air drumming. Barry Drake’s Lecture was all that and more. Drake set the mood early, dimming the lights in the North Pod of Memorial Union and adding the sweet sound of the once-loved synthesizer.

Correction
By The Maine Campus
The April 26 article titled “Chandrasekar not returning next semester” inaccurately reported that the General Student Senate had passed a set of bylaws, and that the GSS did not previously have any bylaws. The bylaws passed were for the University of Maine System Student Government, a separate entity from the GSS.
