More than a MouthFull
Going out to breakfast is always one of my favorite things: the early morning sun, the smell of coffee brewing and eggs cooking on a hot grill. Bintliff’s American Caf?, a favorite among Portlanders, has now become dear to my heart.

Review of “One Hour Photo,” starring Robin Williams as a one-hour photo developer turned stalker
Girls gone wild…
Erin and Nicolette spend an afternoon shopping to find the perfect fall outfit in Portland’s consignment shops. How much would you spend for three skirts and two sweaters? Nicolette saved over $300 by shopping around at Material Objects on Congress St. and The Goodwill on Forest Ave., instead of spending her hard earned Free Press Dollars at the Mall.
Say ‘Hello,’ make a friend
Students and staff coming and going, going and coming, sometimes in swells, other times in trickles. Almost always moving, like some sort of perpetual motion. Assignments, deadlines, due dates, and times of meeting motivate us. How rare is it to have a moment to catch your breath?
Letters from the Editor
What is news, anyway? Why are we at times so addicted to it, yet other times it is the most mundane thing on earth?
Marcy’s rules
I’ll be honest: the only reason I am doing this is because all I have to do is point and click. I read your article on Marcy’s and I felt it didn’t pick up the whole vibe of what Marcy’s is exactly.
Parking woes
… I find it almost humorous that the University can sneak high-priced parking decals into our student bill instead of looking for ways to cut unnecessary costs, and we get laminated book return policies. That is a bit ridiculous.
Senate Update
Weekly student senate update.
Energy Expo at USM
Interested in the field of engineering and technology? An Energy Expo will be held at the Costello Athletic Complex at the Gorham campus on Wednesday Sept. 25 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Crime on Campus
Reports of crime on campus based on USM’s weekly police logs
26-year Aramark employee dies at 43
26-year Aramark employee Cliff Rogers died suddenly from a brain aneurysm on the afternoon of Sept. 10. He was 43. He is survived by a teenage son and two daughters, two brothers, and several aunts and uncles.
Campus labs incur four-cent fee
The USM community now pays to print from computer labs across campus. Students can log into computers using their name and Social Security Number or PIN number. When they want to print, they click on the print icon. A dialog box appears on the screen. It shows the number of pages to print, the cost of the printing, and the remaining balance on the account.
New center to be named for local statesman
The education community center on the Portland campus will be named The Joel and Linda Abromson Community Education Center.
It will honor the late senator and his wife’s commitment to public service and educational opportunities for the community.
Two Teams.one loser.A Fresh Season for our Field Hockey Team
The field hockey game was a miserable experience. The hurricane that landed here last week-suddenly, after a violent heat wave, coincided with the game, and nobody told me this was going to happen. That was okay though. We won.

Now Showing: “City by the Sea”
Very loosely based on a 1997 Esquire article by Pulitzer Prize winner Mike McAlary, “City by the Sea” creates a nice leisurely pace in establishing its characters, conflicts and location. Aided by the skilled hands of director Michael Caton-Jones, the film escapes both the frazzle of the slicker cop pictures and the boredom of the more melancholic.
Rolling requeim honors and remembers Sept 11 victims
September 11, 2002 at 8:46 am, the bell in Corthell Tower rang for one minute. Following the bell was a chorus of students, faculty and members of the community as they joined in a worldwide effort in singing Mozart’s Requiem at 8:47. The same song was sung in every state and throughout many countries.
Quick, easy, and cheap.
Marcy’s Diner, located at the corner of Oak and Free Streets, is a quaint, out of the way oasis for any breakfast or lunch starved businessperson, sleep-deprived student, or passer-by.
“Objects of Influence” Faculty Art
Many of the great artists in history were influenced by someone equally remarkable. T.S. Elliot was influenced by Joseph Conrad’s novel “Heart of Darkness” Elvis Presley’s music was influenced by the sound of Motown. But for Art Department chair Michael Shaughnessy, a picture of his grandfather’s architectural thesis is his influence and inspiration.
You from Jersey? I’m from Maine.
It never crossed my mind that I wasn’t a Mainer, until I’m told that I look like I’m from New Jersey.
