ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A problem in getting a workplace project up and moving might upset the Lamb, who likes things done on time. But be patient. The delay could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your instincts are usually on the mark, so if you feel uneasy about being asked for advice on a certain matter, it’s probably a good idea that you opt not to comply with the request.
In less than two months, I’ll be in Peru. I’ll be there for four weeks. I’m leaving on Independence Day. My palms get sweaty just thinking about it.
That’s a problem of mine. I don’t know if anyone really wants to hear about it, but my hands sweat a lot. Nine months ago it was worse.
To the Editor:
Since I have been a student at USM, I have noticed that there are always negative statements about Greek Life. It’s either we don’t do anything, we don’t get along, we’re drunks, etc. Just because we all have different beliefs, traditions, different philanthropy ideas, etc, doesn’t mean we don’t get along.
Every year, The Free Press goes through a kind of ritual changing of the guard. The paper must be re-staffed as people graduate, burn out and move on. In my two-plus years here, I’ve watched the slow churning over of an ensemble cast of some of the most excellent people I’ve ever worked with.
Name: Charmaine Willis Major: Political Science Year: Sophomore Age: 20 What are you doing right now? I’m dancing at WMPG’s 70’s vs. 80’s dance party at USM. Do you know anyone from WMPG? Yeah, I work at the campus radio station. Is that what you want to do after graduation? Don’t know, maybe.
What fun and exciting plans do you have for the summer? Amy Nolan Music, Sophomore “I’m going the circus.” Kristen Onos Psychology, Sophomore “I plan on SCUBA diving.” Alex Petropoulous Flute Performance, Sophomore “Taking and giving flute lessons.” William Silva Fine Arts, Junior “I’m going to Germany for two weeks.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A seemingly stalled romantic situation could benefit from your reassurance that you want this relationship to work. And if you do, use a tad more of that irresistible Aries charm.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Going to new places and meeting new people appeals to both the Taurean’s romantic and practical side.
The Free Press hasn’t criticized the actions of the university’s administration very much this year. For the most part, I get the impression that the school does the best that it can and, considering the resources available, does a phenomenal job. Unfortunately, in the past year, there has been some slippage between the actual and perceived role of one of the university officials many work with most: Chris O’Connor, assistant to the dean of student life.
In one of my classes, we have been discussing self-evident truths. Lots of things in this world are self-evident: rain is wet, Maine is cold in January, M&Ms melt in your mouth. Climbing has its own self-evident truths: falling is bad, rock is hard, and big cliffs take a long time to climb.
Have you ever seen our government in action? Do you ever wonder who these law makers are, what happens to a bill when it goes to committee, and who speaks for or against the proposed issue? Well it is an eye opening and educational experience that one must witness and experience for themselves.
Name: Miranda Richards Age: 21 Major/Year: Nursing Junior When do you expect to graduate? Summer 2006, or fall 2006. Do you live on campus? Yes, I live in Phillipi Hall in Gorham. It’s a triple suite, which is nice because we have our own bathroom. Before that I lived for two years in Upton-Hastings.
Michelle Braley “I think that it’s great in terms of organization but, I fear that this merger may cause Augusta to loose vital central support as part of that organization.” David Chicoine “I think it’s a good idea it would be nice if all the UMaine campuses would all merge.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb is usually excited about taking on a new challenge. But if that’s a touch of doubt you’re feeling, maybe it’s you telling yourself to go slow on this until you learn more about it.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Accepting new commitments when you haven’t yet finished the batch on hand could be a bit rash.
As the end of the semester nears, students are busily finishing up the mountains of work this time of year brings.?This leaves professors scurrying to correct these assignments, giving us the grades we have worked to hard achieve.?This unenviable task of assigning a letter ranking to a body of work put forward by people who have worked very hard has been assigned to me this week.
The drive from Maine to Colorado becomes a nightmare right around Topeka, Kansas. There aren’t hills after New York or turns after Ohio. Eyes focus and refocus, but the view never looks right. Sleep is always a moment away, but giving in to the urge would result in a sticky red smear on I-70.
Aroostook County, endearingly referred to as “The County” by native Mainers, is the largest east of the Mississippi. Its 3.8 million acres of forest land, 2000+ lakes, rivers, streams and ponds, and relatively unspoiled natural beauty attract wilderness enthusiasts from thousands of miles every year.
In last week’s paper, I don’t think I came off as sympathetic as I really am to the people who were upset by our April 11 insert. I needed to stand up for the paper, and I had to do it decisively and convincingly. In truth, I really do understand why people were upset by the sudden appearance of a huge, glossy, one-sided political insert.
