A vandal, presumably from Maine Maritime Academy, caused $325 worth of damage in the men’s bathroom on the second floor of Cumberland Hall. An RA who was patrolling the hall found that someone had disassembled a drainage pipe under one of the sinks, causing water to spill all over the floor. The following message was written on one of the stalls: ‘F**k UMO, I love MMA.’ The message was accompanied by a drawing of a large penis.
2:35 a.m. – Sanitation conflagration
UMPD and the Orono Fire Department were called to the scene of a raging fire in the dumpster located at the south entrance to Knox Hall.

8:58 a.m. – Field hockey feelin’ jockeyed
UMaine’s Athletics Department called university police to report break-ins to the Alfond skybox and Field Hockey shed. Both incidents are thought to have been committed by the same person[s], who as of yet have not been identified. The perpetrators broke into the Field Hockey shed and stole equipment, as well as breaking holes in the shed with field hockey sticks. The perpetrators also broke the glass window in the skybox door to gain access, although nothing appeared to have been stolen. Police believe that the burglars may have been after the beer and food that is kept there. The damage to the skybox is estimated to be $500 while the damage to the shed is estimated to be $200 with $1,400 in equipment having been stolen, including sticks, goalie masks and a gear bag.
