Sorry this took so long, everyone! Changed the format again slightly, let me know if you have any better suggestions!
On Campus:
Online Tutoring Comes to Campus- For the first time, UML students can use an online service to get help with physics and math. From 7 p.m. to midnight, Monday through Thursday, students who are having trouble with late night homework or studying can receive assistance from one of the live tutors. Physics and math are the first two departments to try out the new program, since they have been identified as the two biggest problem areas for students. All of the tutors have a minimum GPA of 3.5 and have been recommended by professors, so ask all the tough questions you need to!
Cardboard City Event Raises Money- 14 UML students recently participated in an event to raise awareness about the needs of the homeless. Phi Kappa Sigma organized the on-campus event, which raised $1200 to go towards the city's Hunger/Homeless Commission. Students had to spend the night out in front of the rec center, with cardboard boxes as their only shelter. It got so cold that they resorted to trash can fires to keep warm. PKS has been organzing the event for 16 years.
College Bowl Winners- This year's results for the College Bowl are in. Individual winners were: Paul Nutter, Steve Holstrom, Martin Gray, Damon Orsi, James Blatchford, Ryan Beaven, Tiffany Avilla and Ryan Grant. The first place team was: "Team SGA," whose members were Damon Orsi, Steven Holstrom, Francis Cannata, James Blatchford and Louis Devito.
Riverhawks Tie Things Up With St. Lawrence- This weekend, the Riverhawks men's hockey team made a 3-3 tie with St. Lawrence. UML goals were scored by Jason Bergeron, Paul Worthington and Barry Goers. This was Goers' first goal of the season. Keep it up Riverhawks!
Local News:
Teens Arrested For Attempting to Rob Pizza Shop- Why you would want to rob a pizza shop is beyond me, but Ariel Hernandez and Juan Ramirez, both of Lowell, were arrested after someone caught them hiding in bushes near a Lowell pizza shop. The two had just placed bandannas over their faces and were preparing to run in with a BB gun. The arrest took place after a brief chase into a wooded area. Some people just really like their pizza.
Lowell Police Make $300K Drug Bust- This weekend, Lowell officers busted three men in possession of over $300,000 in marijuana. Police believe the marijuana was imported from Canada. The three men were caught Friday night, after a month-long investigation and surveillance of the area, a municipal parking lot on Leroy Street. The police also confiscated a number of firearms, including automatic handguns, and several cell phones they are now using as part of the investigation.
Man Dies After Barfight- After being punched in the head once, William Peters died at Captain John's on Westford Street last Wednesday. This was the second death from a fight at the bar since May. The man who did the punching, Alexander Adorno, apparently had some long-term money issues with Peters. The issues escalated to the fight at the bar, which ended in Peters being knocked unconscious by a single punch, and later being pronounced dead by emergency personnel.
Popular News:
Gibson's Newest Movie Ranked #1- 'Apocalypto' brought in $14.2 million after opening this weekend. Critics are surprised, since Gibson's movie has subtitles and has a very unique storyline- it explores the final days of the Mayan civilization. Reviews are good, but it has been called a very "gory" and "brutal" film.
Mariah Carey Sues Porn Star- Singer Mariah Carey is suing the porn star Mary Carey, trying to prevent the busty woman from trademarking her name. Mary Carey is best known for running for California governor against Arnold Schwarzenegger, and of course for her roles in movies like "Double Air Bags 11" and "Boobsville Sorority Girls."
