RE: “Pike bounces back from homelessness”
As a former brother and resident of the PIKE house at UMaine I must say that I’m very excited to hear that the brothers have taken proactive steps to control the house in the future. Great job guys! I hope the improvements to the house and strengthened brotherhood will have a successful rush this fall. GO PIKE!

RE: “Maine to vote on gay marriage in Nov.”
“UMaine College Republicans member Timothy Woodman plans to vote for overturning Maine’s gay marriage law this fall. He is in favor of No. 1 because ‘religious organizations will no longer be forced to perform same sex marriages,’ he said.”

Well, UMaine College Republicans member Timothy Woodman should get an “F.” He flunks.
Maine’s same-sex marriage law explicitly affirms religious freedom and guarantees that NO church will be required to recognize or perform same-sex marriages

RE: “In Maine, mentally ill are slighted”
Please offer us similar statistics for deaths in mental institutions. The coin has two sides, neither is particularly attractive.

Statistically, however, one overshadows the other. Guess which. Inside.
