The faculty senate held a meeting tonight where they chose to table the motion that would recommend reinstalling classes on the last Wednesday in April — officially known as Maine Day. 

Over 50 students gathered in the Wells Conference Center to vocalize what Maine Day means to them, as well as their disappointment in the administration’s lack of transparency. 

The faculty senate has been discussing this since Sept. 14, after it was brought to their attention by the administration. 

According to Nuri Emanetoglu, an associate professor of electrical & computer engineering and member of Faculty Senate, the administration told the Faculty Senate that they would be canceling and rebranding Maine Day regardless of the decision reached at the meeting on Wednesday. 

“They asked us for support and the motion that we are discussing is whether or not we are supporting this or not. The students seem to have the impression that the Faculty Senate on its own is trying to cancel Maine Day,” Emanetoglu said.  

President Joan Ferrini-Mundy quickly defended her administration’s intentions that public safety is their ultimate concern and their goal was not to cancel Maine Day. 

After hearing the concerns from the student body, Ferrini-Mundy decided to form a task force with students passionate about finding a solution to the public safety concerns expressed by the administration. 

Multiple students vocalized their concerns about the lack of transparency from the administration to the faculty and students regarding Maine Day. 

“The lack of transparency around the discussions on canceling Maine Day is ridiculous and has only compounded issues,” said Jacob Chaplin, the vice president for the Honors Student Advisory Board and student representative for the faculty senate. 

Conversations about the rebranding began during the spring of 2022. According to Vice President for Student Life and Inclusive Excellence and Dean of Students at the University of Maine Robert Dana, emergency medical technicians and police officers reached out after receiving roughly 40 medical calls from students partying at the Avenue (Ave) apartment complex. 

Dana commissioned a Maine Day committee due to the safety concerns. 

Members of this committee consisted of Dana, the Assistant Town Manager for Orono Belle Ryder, the Assistant Dean and Director of Community Life Lauri Sidelko and Lisa Morin, the coordinator for Barbara Higgins Bodwell Center for Service and Volunteerism. They met over the summer to discuss possible alternatives to the University of Maine’s annual tradition. 

“I am part of a committee that was commissioned by Vice President Dana to talk about the future of Maine Day,” said Sidelko to several members of the student government on Sept. 6. “Essentially, after the past few years, the situations that have occurred have been significantly negative, have been so significant, the university has decided to take a look at the future of Maine Day.”

At the faculty senate meeting, Sidelko and Ryder mentioned they conducted interviews with EMTs, Orono residents and students to understand the safety concerns surrounding Maine Day. 

“I’m aware of the Maine Day committee, as the President of student government is supposed to be a member, but I was not asked to be a part of the conversations over the summer,” Alyssa Ciasullo, the president of UMaine Student Government, said. 

Ciasullo expressed her concerns about the lack of transparency and student involvement during the Faculty Senate meeting. 

“The way to foster school spirit on campus is not to take away the school’s oldest and favorite tradition in conversations behind closed doors,” Ciasullo said. “My role as student body president is to represent student opinion which has been majorly overlooked, especially in conversations regarding Maine Day.”

Prior to the full faculty senate meeting on Sept. 14, Dana provided Mary Jean “MJ” Sedlock, the president of the faculty senate, with a report containing links to publicly available videos on social media depicting parties at the Ave going as far back as 2018. Sedlock shared the links with the rest of the faculty senate. Sept. 14 was also the first time the faculty senate discussed the administration’s concerns about Maine Day. 

Maine Day has been a valued tradition of the UMaine community for the past 90 years. It was started as a day of service, which was a point raised by many students during the faculty senate meeting. Students also encouraged the faculty senate and administration to recognize the need for harm reduction tactics. 

“I have seen the police and EMTs there. I’ve never seen a medical tent set up to provide care for students to safely go to as the day progresses in case they’re worried about their friends,” Ben Parks, a fifth-year student at UMaine, said. “I know there was a barricade setup last year which caused students to have to trek through the woods in swamp-like conditions, which I feel like definitely contributed to the injuries that were presented that day.”

Chaplin questioned the sincerity behind the administration’s safety concerns. 

“The basic idea is that they want to cancel Maine Day for ‘safety concerns,’ but that really just means their liability is what they are concerned about,” Chaplin said. “Canceling Maine Day won’t do anything about the party, but it definitely will reduce the amount of service hours done in this community.”

While Chaplin’s opinions are not a reflection of the entirety of the student government, many other students expressed the same sentiment. 

According to data from local police departments, Dana stated that there were roughly 3,500 students participating in parties at the Ave. 

Multiple students attending the meeting highlighted that Maine Day is not all about partying. The philanthropy services traditionally conducted would be affected detrimentally if classes were made mandatory. 

“You are talking about reinstating classes and trying to enforce service days in the winter earlier, and quite simply, that’s not going to work. As somebody who runs several organizations on this campus, you are not going to get the amount of service hours [from] students if we don’t get classes off,” said Nick Turner, the president of the Green Team and College Democrats, to the faculty senate. “I will also say that service hours [is] part of that […] pride in your school, a pride that will probably be lost to some degree if the students feel like they’re getting shafted and losing Maine Day.”

Members of the Faculty Senate also voiced concerns about the lack of consideration to student voices. 

“I would like to propose that the administration really bring the students in. This place exists, we exist, because of these students that pay the tuition,” Sara Lello said, a lecturer in the department of English and a student success advisor.

Lello was one of the members of the Faculty Senate who encouraged the administration not to reinstate classes on Maine Day.

“We have taken away too much. This is their university, we are all in this together,” Lello said. 

Ferrini-Mundy was influenced by the student presence and voices at the meeting. She decided to dedicate a committee of students, faculty and administrators to find ways to mitigate any harmful activity that could occur on Maine Day. 

“I am also very persuaded on how deep and complex the issue is by your conversations today,” Ferrini-Mundy stated. 

While the discussion is tabled indefinitely, students concerned about the future of Maine Day or who are interested in being part of the collaborative team should reach out directly to Ferrini-Mundy at umpresident@maine.edu.

The administration plans to have a decision by the end of the fall semester.

The Associated Students of Colorado State University convened Nov. 9 for the 13th session of the 52nd senate.

Following the swearing-in of two new senators, the senate heard from Budgetary Affairs Committee Chair Elizabeth Rencher and senators Rithik Correa and Vishal Shetty, who presented to the senate on the Board for Student Organization Funding’s funding process in an attempt to clarify the process and smoothen the procedure for future funding requests.

Executive reports followed, with Chief of Staff Haydyn Deason, Vice President Elijah Sandoval, Director of Housing Security Noah Burge, Director of Governmental Affairs Evan Welch, Director of Graduate Affairs Derek Newburger, Director of Traditions Reed Vega, Chief of State Jasen Wahler, and Director of Health and Wellness Alex Silverhart reporting on their respective causes.

Matters such as ongoing Native American Heritage Month efforts, recent rumors concerning the quality of officials within the executive branch, open cabinet positions, the upcoming student visit to the Colorado State Capitol in February, ongoing support for graduate students, and upcoming tailgate events were discussed.

“Everybody is fulfilling all of their job descriptions,” Deason said. “I’m very proud of a lot of the work (the executive branch) is doing.”

Deputy Chief Justice Kelley Dungan then presented to the legislative body on matters such as the success of the recent “coffee with the court” event and the judicial branch’s ongoing involvement with student organizations on campus.

Lex 5202, “Vote of Confidence Clarification” was then discussed.

The lex works to make clarifying edits to the process of the vote of confidence for the election of speaker of the senate to prevent confusion and ensure the student body is presented with qualified candidates approved by senate.

The lex incurred the disapproval of Senator Correa and Senator Kyle Hill, who believe the legislation unduly restricts student voters from electing the candidate of their choice.

“I do not believe that we, as a senate, should dictate an election in which the student body should have a voice,” Hill said. “We should not dictate a procedure for an electorate of 32,000 students with 45 (senate) members.”

In support of the lex was Senator Rory Low, who hopes it will ensure the equitable discussion of candidates.

“This is an equitable piece of legislation that is working to make the constitution reflect more of our voices,” Low said.

Lex 5202 ultimately passed by way of a 25-12 vote, with three abstentions.

Lex 5203, “Rectifying a Failing of ASCSU Accessibility” was then considered.

The lex aims to allow for increased accessibility efforts during senate sessions by mandating the distribution of legislative documents before the meeting, the broadcast of meetings in digital format and the requirement for speakers to use microphones while addressing senate.

Through a 35-0 vote, the lex passed.

Lex 5204, “Institution of Guidance for Special Sessions” was also discussed.

The lex aims to clarify the requirements for the calling of an emergency senate session and mandates that the CSU campus be notified at least 72 hours in advance.

The lex passed by way of a 32-0 vote.

Also considered was Bill 5207, “Groome Transportation Act.”

The bill requests $7,000 from the Senate Discretionary Fund to facilitate free transportation for CSU students to and from Denver International Airport over winter break.

The legislation will be sent to the Budgetary Affairs Committee.

Bill 5208, “Biannual Town Hall with CSUPD” was then considered.

The bill seeks the allocation of $1,000 from the Senate General Fund to allow for two open town hall events with members from the Colorado State University Police Department per school year.

Senator Clyde Nguyen believed these events will help address issues and concerns with CSUPD across campus.

“This will help bridge the gap between CSU students and CSUPD and help students feel more comfortable,” Nguyen said.

The bill will be sent to the University and Budgetary Affairs committees.

Bill 5209, “Changing Diversity and Inclusion Caucus to Diversity Equity and Inclusion Affairs Committee” was also considered.

The bill aims to create a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee for the purpose of ensuring proposed legislation upholds the senate’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The bill will be sent to the Internal and Budgetary Affairs committees.

ASCSU Senate will resume Nov. 16.

Holidays as a child were magical for me.

The spooky fun of Halloween is behind us and so is the dizzying election season. Individuals across the nation now prepare for the thick wave of seasonal depression to hit with force. 

It’s not uncommon to feel gloomy in the overcast, cold weather. In Colorado, the winter is either the thing you’ve been waiting for or the thing you’ve been dreading. If you’re into winter sports, you’re set. If you aren’t, good luck. 

Local man Rob Populus is one of many who are preparing for the flurry of snow headed this way — well, preparing emotionally.

“I’m a big believer in paying the neighbor kids to shovel my driveway,” Populus said. “I’ve been super busy lately and made a discovery that I think will help me: mental health awareness.”

You heard it right. Suddenly, Populus discovered if you actually take care of your mental well-being, you won’t feel like shit all the time. 

“My girlfriend says it’s good to take a hot, nicely scented bath after work to decompress,” Populus said. “I always thought it was stupid, but I slipped in before she did a few nights ago, and everything changed.”

“Checking yourself for signs you need some mental tender love and care is easy. Do you consistently feel like vomiting? Are you riddled with antidepressants and the liquid of some fizzy drink that you can’t seem to part with because you desperately crave sugar? Do you smell like ass?”

After going to bed before midnight every night for a week, Populus found he could actually tolerate social interaction for the first time in his adult life. Now, he has dedicated his life to sharing his new self-care schedule with his bros.

“I thought violent tummy troubles and thinning hair were par for the course in college,” said Populus’ friend Daniel LeAnimal. “It turns out when I take care of my mental health, my sewer bill goes way down. Less flushing, more free time.”

College is known to boost cortisol levels sky-high. With the sun now setting as early as 4:45 p.m. daily, your self-care schedule can take place in the nonstimulating darkness. 

Checking yourself for signs you need some mental tender love and care is easy. Do you consistently feel like vomiting? Are you riddled with antidepressants and the liquid of some fizzy drink that you can’t seem to part with because you desperately crave sugar? Do you smell like ass?

“It’s not just for girls, bro,” Populus said. “Have you ever dusted your steaming bath water with live rose petals? It’s an experience that has genuinely aged me in reverse. I am a baby.”

Check your mental health, and take care of yourself as we come up on winter stresses and the final weeks of the semester. If you don’t want to do it for yourself, then do it for those around you because we can smell you from here.

ATLANTA, GA — Entrepreneurship among university students is booming like never before, and nowhere is that more evident than in the number of startup and business plan competitions taking place every single day on campuses across the country.

For entrepreneurship program managers and others involved in student-focused innovation at U.S. universities, keeping up is virtually impossible. Yet it’s critical for university entrepreneurship programs and their students to have this information available – to search for, plan for, and to enter the competitions that are right for their startups and inventions.

2Market Information Inc., which operates the Tech Transfer Central web portal (www.techtransfercentral.com) and publishes the field’s leading publication Technology Transfer Tactics, has spent the last year developing the StudentVenture^TM database and directory of business plan and startup competitions (https://studentventure.online/), bringing hundreds of events together in one convenient, affordable resource.

“Rather than spending hours searching and compiling the available student pitching events yourself, we’ve done all the work for you – and you get not only complete online access to the database, but you also have the option to share the directory with all your student entrepreneurs under our site license subscription option,” says 2Market Information CEO and Publisher David Schwartz.

StudentVenture^TM is a big time-saver for entrepreneurship offices, Schwartz adds, and it’s a way to easily and significantly expand support for entrepreneurial students.  “It’s a huge value-add for any entrepreneurship program, allowing your students to quickly and easily compare available competitions and plot their next move,” he says.

An individual subscription to StudentVenture^TM costs just $249 for a full year of access, with the option for a site license that’s priced on a sliding scale based on the number of students included, with the lower price tiers allowing smaller schools to pay less.

Subscribers gain instant access to a comprehensive, searchable database of student competitions across the country, with filters that allow you to search and sort by event date, application deadline, state or region, keyword, and even by prize amount offered. Each competition entry includes a brief description, application deadlines, prize amounts, and a link to the competition website. The site is continually updated and refreshed.

Subscribers can also submit updates to their own competitions or add new events as they are scheduled, increasing visibility among potential applicants across the country.

Along with the directory listings, StudentVenture^TM includes a valuable collection of how-to distance learning programs and articles that can be shared with student entrepreneurs, along with a resources page containing dozens of links to additional entrepreneurship education.

“The StudentVenture^TM directory and database is a much-needed tool for busy entrepreneurship programs, which spend many hours of staff time searching for, compiling, and distributing available competitions to their students. This frees them up to focus on their own programs, while empowering their students to find the right launching pads for their innovative startups,” Schwartz says.

Complete information on StudentVenture^TM is available at https://studentventure.online/.

Paul Wall performed at Cage Rage 2022 as a guest appearance. | Sean Thomas/The Cougar

Houston has long been a city known for artistic expression. From the numerous murals blanketing Third Ward to the long list of celebrities, musicians and entertainers that call Houston their home, the city has defined its legacy through cultural influence. 

Few individuals, however, have had as profound an impact on the University as Paul Wall. Aside from his work with UH producing “Red Alert,” Paul Wall is a former student and one of the most notable musicians to come out of the “Golden Age” of Houston hip-hop.

The Cougar spoke with Paul Wall about his experiences at the University and his upcoming performance as a part of Red Bull SoundClash. 

Q: In your experience, what makes UH unique?

Paul Wall: To me, it’s just the school’s diversity. It really reflects the diversity of Houston. It’s this blend of cultures, this blend of people from all over that come from elsewhere and come to Houston. Ultimately, everyone ends up leaving a little piece of themselves here, and in turn, they end up taking something with them to wherever they end up.

Q: What do you think it is about UH that brings all these different cultures together?

Paul Wall: I think there’s definitely an underdog vibe at UH that brings everyone at the University together in a way that’s kind of hard to describe. You know, Houston isn’t a college town. It’s not like College Station or even Austin with UT. So going up against these schools where the city is a part of the school makes it a bit of an uphill battle, and I think that has united us all as Cougars. 

Q: Do you feel your time at UH, and your exposure to its diversity, influenced your music? 

Paul Wall: In my high school, it was like only like one or two walks of life where like, your parents either didn’t have money, or they had a little bit of money, but it wasn’t a lot. Even back when I was there, I remember just being blown away by all the new people and new cultures I was exposed to.

The University has come a long way since then, but there’s always been this sense of pride that accompanied the UH community. So seeing that pride and being a part of it allowed me to experience other cultures and perspectives that I wouldn’t have encountered otherwise. I think that has had the most significant impact on me, creatively speaking. 

Q: What would you say to students considering pursuing a career in music production?

Paul Wall: You know, it’s not an overnight thing. I went to UH in the fall of 1998. So, it’s been almost 25 years. Really, it’s a journey that never ends. But if this is something that you love to do and you’re passionate about it, you just have to go for it.

Sometimes you’ll have to take risks, and sometimes you might do things that others won’t appreciate fully. But that’s okay. As long as you’re your biggest fan and you continue to love what you do and what you make, you’ll know you’re on the right path. 

Q: Thanks for the insight. Before we close out, do you mind telling us about your upcoming performance? 

Paul Wall: SoundClash is like a collaborative competition with two stages for two artists. Each artist is doing their own thing, but it’s a celebration of each other, you know because I’m a huge Gary Clark Jr. fan. There’s definitely a bit of a friendly rivalry at play too. With him being from Austin and me representing the H, it’s going to be a cool show. 

The Redbull Soundclash performance will be held on Nov. 10 at 713 Music Hall. It will feature Paul Wall facing off against Gary Clark Jr. in a collaborative competition that celebrates the cultures of both Austin and Houston.

Now more than ever, it is crucial for all bookies to have an app that is easily accessible on both iOS and Android. Many thousands of bettors utilize apps daily to stay up to speed on in-play markets, the most recent odds, and promotions.

Many bookies claim to have the greatest betting app in the US, but we’ll go through each of them and show you how their features match up with the preferences and requirements of various bettors (Source https://www.basketballinsiders.com/betting-apps/).

Bet365

This is among the most popular betting applications in the world, and using it on iOS or Android offers several advantages. It offers practically every sport you can imagine for outright wagering, with the majority of markets offering special in-play football chances, such wagering on a “corner race” between the two teams.

Additionally, the app broadcasts more than 140,000 events directly to your mobile device each year, a phenomenal amount that makes it simple for bettors to access the wide range of sports that bet365 covers.

The fantastic bet-builder capability is one of the primary elements that sets the app apart from its competitors. This enables bettors to aggregate the odds from many single markets into a single “builder” bet, which has proven to be appealing in some of the greatest Premier League and European matches.

The convenience of making a wager is only one of the numerous benefits of the bet365 app, which is among the finest to use. Punters may cash out their bets after they are placed on most betting slips using an app while they are on the go.

Betfair

The exchange, a marketplace where bettors may lay (that is, bet on something not to happen), as well as offering the standard odds for customers to support a result or make bets on something happening, is the main attraction of Betfair’s app.

There are several downloadable Betfair applications that are compatible with both Android and iOS. These provide a variety of betting options, including through their well-known sportsbook, the exchange, and, unrelated to both, the casino.

Because of the volume of material on each page and smaller type used by Betfair compared to some of its competitors, the app can occasionally be challenging to navigate. While it is not a serious issue, it may be fixed to provide accessibility for more customers.

The fact that the app is simple to use and offers in-play commodities for sports and leagues throughout the world, together with a wide selection of markets, makes it a popular betting app for many gamblers.

Coral

The mobile betting software from Coral is among the easiest to use and provides for simple page navigation. Additionally, the app has an advantage over some of the bookmaker’s rivals due to the information that is presented on it.

The betting software primarily focuses on racing markets and includes brief summaries of each horse along with some helpful recommendations from other bettors.

The live-stream timetable on the app allows busy gamblers to plan when they will watch specific events and prioritize which ones they might want to wager on. It is a clever program with several simple-to-use features, giving it one of the top solutions for mobile betting.

BetVictor

This is among the best betting applications available because of how quickly and easily one can continuously travel through it.

When you consider accessibility, the layout is excellent. Many of the top markets and sports are easy to discover and prominently shown on the app’s home screen when you log in. The opportunity to construct a bet builder on games from several international leagues, such as the Australian League and the Chinese Super League, is also available.

Additionally, the app’s layout makes it simple to comprehend every market, so even novice bettors have no trouble utilizing this specific bookmaker.

888Sport

The 888sport app does not let users down in terms of convenience while making deposits or having easy access to quickly placing bets while on the go. You can move through the website’s parts with ease thanks to the layout. You don’t need to switch between apps because all the same sports and markets are available, along with 888’s poker, casino, and bingo offerings.

Do Different Betting Markets Exist On The Apps?

Even though everyone desires a gambling app that is simple to use, the variety of betting markets available is crucial in determining how highly an app will be ranked.

Some bookmakers strive to exceed their competitors by offering great market uniqueness and diversity, as well as daily strong and innovative alternatives.

You can now wager on individual players’ tackles, shoots, and passes on some mobile betting apps’ football markets thanks to player props. This is an illustration of how bookies are diversifying to increase the attractiveness and competition of their markets.

In order to give students the opportunity to exercise their right to vote, polling booths were offered at the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah on Election Day on Nov. 8. This year’s midterm elections will decide control of Congress and 36 state governorships. 

The Chronicle spoke with students who voted at the library about why they were voting and why they think it was important to cast a ballot.

Valerie Williams, a U graduate student getting her master’s in city planning, said it’s really important for people to get their voice out there.

“We are in the crux of what could drastically change democracy for the rest of my lifetime,” Williams said.

There has been an increase in college voters in recent elections, with college student voter turnout doubling from 19% in 2014 to 40% in 2018.

Dr. Matthew Burbank, a political science professor at the U, said students should vote in every election and they should place emphasis on doing so sooner than later.

“It’s important for young people, in general, to vote early, and do so in a habitual fashion that is not just the presidential elections year, but also a midterm election year, because it’s an important habit to get into.” 

Avery Meppelink, a senior at the U studying business, said he thinks his fellow college peers should vote, and having the polls accessible to students makes it much easier.

“I mean it’s definitely nice to have it on campus,” Meppelink said. “And I think it’s nice to vote, important to vote. If you don’t, I mean, you’re sleeping on your say in how we run our country.”

According to CNBC, a poll showed that half of voters said “that the Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade back on June 24, is motivating them to get out and vote on Nov. 8.”

In addition to Roe v. Wade, which 15% of people said was the most important issue, there are many other top-priority issues that voters feel need to be addressed in this midterm election including inflation and economic issues, which 35% of people polled agreeing it’s the most important issue. 

Megan Petitt, a U alum who graduated in design, said, “​​It’s important to take civic action. It’s so easy on campus.”

Burbank stressed the importance of young people thinking about the future as well as the present when making their decisions on voting day.

“I think that younger people — it’s very wise of them to kind of look to the future, and for older people they may think ‘oh, well, we’re not gonna be here much longer,’” he said.

While voting is always important, Burbank said, the amount of people who are politically active often decreases when the elections are not presidential.

“In midterm elections, we sort of see this decline back to the people who really are more attentive to politics,” Burbank said.

Ian Chang, a sophomore studying mathematics at the U, said that seeing news about the election and hearing about it from peers is what encouraged him to vote at the library.

“I voted mainly because a bunch of my friends voted and I’ve been seeing a bunch of stuff online, just like every vote counts,” Chang said.

Mina Done, a senior majoring in biochemistry, said it’s important for the whole community to come together and practice their right to vote.

“Every voice really does matter,” Done said. “I feel like voting is really dominated by older populations so whatever I can do to [represent] the voices that aren’t as represented, I want to be a part of that.”
