The Issue: The Memorial Union will soon be open around-the-clock.
What We Think: This is a generous and helpful move for students on the part of the UMaine administration.
Several student organizations thanked the General Student Senate for sponsoring various club activities at Tuesday night’s meeting. Kappa Kappa Psi, the Ultimate Frisbee Team and the Nordic Ski Team expressed thanks to the senate for allocating money for trips and other club activities.
