Documentation of the University of Maine Board of Trustees "Statement of Resolution" approved and adopted on January 23, 1974. "Recognizing that many citizens have differing views on the matter of who and which groups should have an opportunity to meet on our University campuses, the Board of Trustees reaffirms the previous policy as approved in 1967 and 1969 of open campuses and the greatest amount of freedom of speech and of dissemination of ideas. Accordingly, we see no reason to deny any student group the right to meet on our University campuses for lawful purposes or in accordance with University …

Making The Grade: Motivating Factor Or Outmoded Barrier To Academic Achievement?, Jeffrey W. Beebe, Rhette Wieland
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Education is fast approaching the stage where students are crossing a line between a desire to succeed and the fear of failure. Although UMO tends to shrug off the pressure of grades, many students them of great concern. They gulp their meals and rush to the dorms to study, they toss in bed, losing sleep before tests--if they go to bed at all--and many sweat out every test and grading period as if waiting for the Judgetment. The fear of failure is well hidden in most cases, but there it is.

It's The Issue That Counts — It's The Language That Counts, Phil Mace
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Editorial reaction to language included in the feature story, "Gay Lib. Spokeswoman" which appears in the 1973-04-12 issue of The Maine Campus. There are over 400,000 words in the English language. It is ridiculous to segregate seven, eight, or nine—or even one—of them as totally unsuitable for use in a newspaper. Acting as if certain four-letter words do not exist only adds to the titillating air that surrounds them when they do appear—as they will.

Intended as an academic discussion of the social and psychological aspects of homosexuality, the small grou expanded and turned from a discussion to become an active gay social-support group.

Handwritten, one-and-a half-page letter from a UMaine alumnus located in Michigan denouncing the University's position regarding the Wilde-Stein Club and "gay symposium." Transcription: March 24, 1973 Gentlemen, For many years I contributed to the Alumni Fund but I find it impossible to do anymore. Although I have not lived in the state since graduation, I have been kept informed. What I have heard, I do not agree with. The policy changes at the U of M, during recent years, are not ones that I in any way can support. The Homosexual Convention was the last straw. You can cross me …
