This composite drawing was released by the USM Police after the man alledgedly tried to force a woman into his car on the University of Maine Orono campus Aug. 10.
A student at Woodward Hall saw someone matching the composite outside Woodward Hall Aug. 30.
The fourth annual Husky Fest was meant to be an outdoor celebration, but when dark rain clouds advanced last Thursday morning, planners were forced to move the whole welcome-back event inside the Woodbury Campus Center in Portland.
“I have so much more gray hair after yesterday” said Chris O’Connor, Assistant to the Dean of Student Life and Committee Chair of the Husky Fest, describing efforts to reorganizing the event so that it would fit within the confines of the Campus Center.
The John Mitchell Center in Gorham is being expanded to nearly double its current size in a construction project that is slated to break ground sometime later this month. The $8 million expansion will be built entirely with grants from the State and Federal government and local businesses.

The headline for John Gartland’s editorial on page seven was printed in error. The headline should’ve read “Master” Dolby’s Resignation. The headline that was printed does not reflect John Gartland’s personal sentiments.
Issue 1-Sept.9
In a story featuring the John Mitchell Center on page 11 the Free Press mistakenly referred to the Center as the George Mitchell Center in a headline above the Center’s photo.

I cannot believe that we have come to the final issue of the year. It seems like only yesterday that I walked into The Free Press office and began writing about USM sports.
There are many highlights that I will fondly look back on as I remember this past school year.
A report of this week’s sports scores and upcoming schedule
About one million Americans are diagnosed each year with skin cancer and of these, 40,000 will be diagnosed with melanoma – the most serious, and sometimes life-threatening, form of skin cancer. About 7,000 Americans will die every year from melanoma.
This week meet Anthony Pergola, who wants to visit the family’s home town in Italy or say “Eh?” in Toronto
Astronomy shows possibilities… you have the power of choice! Charlie Gould’s Planet Digest
Musicians Chris “Roadie” Rodahoffer (guitars), Kyle Lawrence (bass), and Wes Medeiros (drums), met during their time at Boston’s Berklee School of Music. This three-piece band mixes in loosely-based jams, country and bluegrass flavors, and simplistic vocal parts very much akin to the likes of the Grateful Dead and Phish.
I’m talking about a little place called O’Naturals. Yeah, O’Naturals, they just opened up a new store in Portland. And in all honesty, there isn’t anything little about the joint. From the high ceilings to their marketing plan, there are big things happening down on Exchange Street these days.
Knowing what Nicholson is capable of, watching “Anger Management” becomes frustrating. Here he plays a great character with seemingly sinister motives (at least during most of the movie) and the filmmakers fail to recognize the potential they are throwing into the garbage. After starting off well, the film limps to an unsatisfactory conclusion thanks to the timidity of the script.
Spring Fling features three days of events for students to enjoy right before finals. On Friday night, Loki, Parabellum, The Monolith, Po-Town Underground and Aries 12 created an all-encompassing compendium of rock and funk, performing sets until almost 2 a.m. “We like the funk,” declared Greg Rothwell, bassist for the jazz trio The Monolith.
One of my favorite teachers over the years has been my canoe. As I paddle along I ponder the very long and wonderful history of this craft. That gets me asking questions about Native Americans, who, in turn, make me wonder about rivers as historic roads or trails.
Domestic violence within the GLBT community is an important yet closeted issue because of the lack of tangible resources and the onslaught of the power and control these relationships may have.
This week’s letters to the editor responded to ongoing war talk and critique the Free Press’s coverage of Greek and Gorham life
My brilliant computer technician friend Ben had emailed me from his hub in oh so trendy Boston complaining about his lack of vision and goals. He had just completed the Boston marathon after recovering from a bout of gangrenous appendix. Just two months prior to running he was treated for his ailment on the operating table. With the completion of the race he was at a loss for his next grand adventure.
This is the last issue of the year, and oh so bittersweet. I am glad that I will be moving on, away from this job that has sucked a decade from my life like the machine in the pit of despair in The Princess Bride. However, there is quite a bit of sadness as I break up with The Free Press. I know that it was an unhealthy, codependent relationship, and ultimately, we can still be friends, but there is still a lingering feeling of a heavy heart as I begin to take things off the walls of my office.

A report of crime on campus, culled from USM’s police logs
Through her affiliation with the group Outright, Lyndon Cudlitz, Freshman Geo Science major, and member of the GLBTQA, helped coordinate the Take Back The Night rally. The event which took place last Friday in Congress Square gave people a chance to speak openly about their experiences with physical and sexual assault.
