Here's a snippet of a Movie Review by Ben Reed, from September, 2022, that has since been published online at; https://usmfreepress.org
"I’d say the general tone of the movie, as well as all of the pieces that the movie is meant to convey, work well for what they are. The ending also makes sense. In it, Strange gains a new third eye he has from the comics... which not only reference his powers from the comics and the Eye of Agamotto, but that he was in a way corrupted by the Darkhold." - Arts and Culture Editor; Ben Reed

“Students voice distaste for Sodexo and USM Dining despite semesterly survey,”

Second-year exercise science major Andrew Wessling said he’s frequently been served uncooked chicken and over cooked pork.

“Nine times out of 10 you’ll find something edible,” said Wessling. “But it’s not necessarily what you want. We spend way too much money on crap food. I feel like they put out these surveys all the time, but nothing ever changes.”

Did you know there’s a hidden photo lab in Robie Andrews? 📸👻

“The practice links together generations of photographers, their stories connected by the weight of the camera in their hands. After witnessing the beauty they want captured and trapping it in their film, students hang their negative, waiting for it to dry before bringing into the dark room.”
