A few days ago I saw an ad for a Volvo S80. Here’s the gist of it, for those of you who haven’t seen it: A woman walks to her car, the only one in the dark parking lot. Then, through her Volvo key-ma-bob, her car tells her that there is somebody inside it.
Maine Channel event goes well
On Thursday evening, more than 100 students spread out around a movie screen, eating free pizza and other snacks. It wasn’t the Black Bears hockey game at Memorial Union – it was the Maine Channel Film Festival.
The Maine Channel has been organizing the event all year.
A naked man, buttocks exposed, clearly engaged in sexual activity with a prickly, five-foot-tall scorpion. No, it’s not a scene from Robert Rodriguez’s portion of “Grindhouse.” It’s the new French safe-sex advertisement campaign, warning against the dangers of unprotected sex, particularly AIDS.
Pride Week celebrates our diverse sexual and gender identities, histories, cultures and lives. As part of the celebration, the University of Maine will be hosting its own events from April 11-22 to honor and promote those who just want to be themselves. Starting with a lecture, “Reinventing Disability and Sexuality,” Pride Week will feature such events as a Wilde-Stein Open House, Rainbow Resource Center Open House, karaoke, the MTV film “Transgeneration,” Java Jive, the second annual Know Your Status Dinner, a drag workshop, a drag show and finally, the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus.
Last Thursday, the Maine Channel kicked off what they hope to make a University of Maine staple with a bang.
The Maine Channel hosted its First Annual Student Film Festival in Room 101 Neville Hall. The festival featured 15 films created by UMaine students and alumni, including documentaries, short films and the premier episode of what should be an exciting new series.

What if in one day your biggest worry went from “how will I finish all this homework” to “what will I look like when I finally go bald?” For sufferers of Alopecia, that question isn’t hypothetical.
At first Danielle Fish didn’t think much of the few small bald spots she discovered during her routine hairstyling.
Disorderly conduct arrest
At 1:20 a.m. on March 30, officers were called to investigate a noise complaint. When the officers arrived, they located Gregory Andreason, 23, at the apartment of a young woman. Andreason would not cooperate with the officers or answer questions about the disturbance.
“This year we felt like it was going to finally be the year we brought back the title. But that’s life sometimes.”

ST. LOUIS – University of Maine hockey coach Tim Whitehead loves his players, but he isn’t the type to dole out unwarranted praise or heap a mountain of verbal hyperbole on just anybody.
So when he said that Josh Soares is “as good a player as there is in college hockey” after the Black Bears bowed out in the national semifinals Thursday, it meant something.
