'Midweek • 11/1a I n rip to!. 84. no.51 Tuesday, May 8,1979 Orono, Maine Bumstock VII This years Bumstock was another success story. One UMO policeman estimated the crowd size to be more than 2,000 people, a tremendous turnout for any UMO event. The crowd fought the cold at night by congregating in front of the stage, tight as sardines in a can, and keeping each other warm. The bands managed to play despite the cold, and what must've been numb fingers for many of them. The field behind the cabins now is just a silent reminder of Bumstock VII. The field is empty. There are no cans or bottles, nor are there the people who drank from them. The green grass will grow all summer, as will thoughts of Bumstock VIII. 2 Maine Campus•May 8, 1979 Drug charges upheld in hearing defense attorneys for Bath and Bath and Thorten have been released on by John Donnelly The filed the pre-trial motion to $3,000 personal recognizance bonds, May 8 Thorten Tuesday, case on the grounds of courts officials said.

    College Baseball Foundation P.O. Box 6507 Phone: 806-742-0301 x249 Lubbock TX 79493-6507 E-mail: [email protected] January 30, 2008 Boyd, Thank you for participating in the balloting for the College Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2008 Induction Class. We appreciate your willingness to help. In the voters packet you will find the official ballot, an example ballot, and the nominee biographies: 1. The official ballot is what you return to us. Please return to us no later than Mon- day, February 11. 2. The example ballot’s purpose is to demonstrate the balloting rules. Obviously the names on the example ballot are not the nominee names. That was done to prevent you from being biased by the rankings you see there. 3. Each nominee has a profile in the biography packet. Some are more detailed than others and reflect what we received from the institutions and/or obtained in our own research. The ballot instructions are somewhat detailed, so be sure to read the directions at the top of the official ballot. Use the example ballot as a reference. Please try to consider the nominees based on their collegiate careers. In many cases nominees have gone on to professional careers but keep the focus on his college career as a player and/or coach. The Veterans (pre-1947) nominees often lack biographical details relative to those in the post-1947 categories. In those cases, the criteria may take on a broader spectrum to include the impact they had on the game/history of college baseball, etc.

  • “Dropping the Ball”: the Understudied Nexus of Sports and Politics
    The Understudied Nexus of Sports and Politics “Dropping the Ball”: The Understudied Nexus of Sports and Politics Thomas Gift1 (email: [email protected]) University College London Andrew Miner Harvard University From the Roman Colosseum to Wimbledon Stadium, the Olympics to the Super Bowl, sports have always played a central role in societies. With so much at stake—money, pride, power (and occasionally even fun)—sports are undeniably political. Yet despite this recognition, political scientists and policy scholars devote little attention to the study of sports, especially compared to other disciplines like business, law, and economics. We offer reasons for this void and suggest how political scientists can begin to fill it. In our view, the nexus between sports and politics is not only a vital topic of study on its own, but it can also provide a lens through which to examine—and test—broader questions in the discipline. We propose how scholars can think more systematically about the interaction of politics and sports and leverage the distinctive qualities of sports to improve causal identification across a range of issue areas and subfields in political science and policy studies. Keywords: Sport and Politics, Sports and Policy, Political Science Research, Political Studies Subfields, Review Article, Sport and Media, Sport and International Affairs. Desde el Coliseo romano hasta el Estadio de Wimbledon, los Juegos Olímpicos y el Super Bowl, los deportes siempre han jugado un papel central en las sociedades. Con tanto en juego—dinero, el orgullo, el poder (y ocasionalmente incluso algo de diversión)—los deportes son innegablemente políticos.
