Feeling The Managed-Care Pinch, Paul Livingstone
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
I never paid much attention to HMOs until I began hearing the occasional managed-care horror story (the one about bone-marrow transplant denials comes to mind) and realized I was one of those untold millions living under the auspices of a managed care company. A perennial favorite of the news media, managed care has received a healthy dose of concerned prodding over the last few years over its practices.

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The Student Senate cut the Women's Center $200 of work-study funds in Tuesday night's Senate meeting. Donnie Oakes, vice-president of the student government said, "There is some movement suggesting that no clubs receive work-study funding. The argument is that is not a practice to get into. The people against it feel that if a club has voluntary membership, they should do the duties and not a work-study student."

We at the Maine Campus breathed a collective sigh of relief last week when President Howard R. Neville announced that Zen Buddhist Michelle Earltinez could keep the animals used in her lab experiments.

Sam…Will Students Again Be A Political Force?, The Maine Campus
Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
The Student Association of Maine has embraced an ominous task. In its effort to represent 32,000 post-secondary students throughout the state, conflicts are bound to surface. But if SAM can unify its student membership, the prospects for developing a powerful voice in Augusta, a voice that would be heard in the halls of the State House and reverberate back to individual campuses are bright.

"SAM" --the word has a familiar ring to it, from the sixties, when the evening news opened with the day's body counts in South Vietnam and conflicting reports of fighter-jet losses in the skies over North Vietnam--'Surface-to-Air-Missile.' Another, but altogether different, "SAM" was launched in Bangor Saturday--the Student Association of Maine. Its propellant is in the person of UMO's Peter Simin, and its payload is the interests of 32,000 post-secondary students in Maine.

"Are you opposed to homosexual relations between consenting adults?" "Do you drink alcoholic beverages?" "Are you opposed to the dissemination of birth control devices to college students by the infirmary? "Would you favor the elimination of legal sanctions prohibiting the use of marijuana?" The answers these questions have elicited over the past seven years convince Dr. Kenneth Hayes that a social revolution has slowly and quietly changed the attitudes of students attending UMO.

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.

Arricale, New York City deputy housing commissioner, made this appear during his lecture, "The Long Hot Summer" Wednesday evening, May 1, in the Maine Lounge of the Memorial Union.

Many of the Maine co-eds enjoyed the feeble protest against coeducation in last week's Campus. From a secure hiding place behind Cornell's broad shoulders came some brave Maine man, or it might have been men, hurled a bomb of defiance at the unwelcome females. Wait just a minute while we co-eds laugh!
