Tuesday morning was devoted to meetings scheduled for the five UMO colleges, and the afternoon was left open for additional college and departmental sessions. The topics discussed during the loosely structured meetings included practically all imaginable topics from doing away with prerequisite courses, to the pass-fail system, to women's liberation and student apa­ thy (no apathetic students could be found to at­ tend this particular session). Notes and proposed ideas were channeled in­ to the Senate Office, and from these, the meas­ ures will be consolidated and submitted to the UMO population in a Referendum that will fol­ low the publication of this issue of THE ALUM­ NUS. These call for "the creation of a four-year baccalaureate degree-at-large, the abolition of all pre-requisites now required for undergradu­ ate degrees except departmental major require­ ment, the creation of student-faculty depart­ mental councils, and a restructuring of the ad- visor-advisee relationship 'so students choose their academic majors after the freshman year/ " Other key areas pointed out by Cowan in­ volve the creation of residential colleges, the for­ mation of Black Studies, Franco-American Stud­ ies, and Indian Studies departments, and the decision to either make "physical education courses more meaningful or abolish the require­ ment for all colleges." During the first day of the moratorium, Dr. James Clark, Vice President for Academic Af­ fairs, explained that no definite machinery had been set up for converting the moratorium pro­ posals into definite policy changes. But the stu­ dents have constructively organized and taken the time to have their say, and everyone is now waiting to see how the UMO administrators will respond to the April 28 referendum results. Among early responses to the students ex­ pression of interest in the future of their educa­ tion at UMO came in editorials in major news­ papers. The BANGOR DAILY NEWS said, "the students and their elders at the Orono campus did themselves—and the state—proud. Confront­ ation was set aside for constructive consultation." And the PORTLAND PRESS HERALD concluded its complimentary editorial saying, "... some­ body must be doing something right at Orono, a condition to consider when financial support of the University is discussed." 3 visor/advisee problem and similar topics.

    May 20, 2020 Dear Mr. President, We are writing to ask for your help on an issue that threatens American jobs and outdoor traditions. As anglers, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts we are extremely concerned about a massive open-pit gold and copper mine that a Canadian mining company is proposing to build in the Bristol Bay region of Alaska. The efforts to develop the massive mine in this unique area threaten more than 14,000 American jobs, a fishery worth more than $1.5 billion dollars annually and a sport fishing and hunting paradise. It is considered a world-class fishing destination, which even your son and grandson have enjoyed. If built, the mine would decimate many miles of streams and up to 10 billion tons of mine waste would have to be stored without accident behind earthen dams, forever. The mine is relentlessly opposed by most Alaskans, as well as anglers, hunters and other outdoor recreation businesses from around the country. Preventing this mine from moving forward would protect American jobs, safeguard the culture of rural America, and ensure that our national outdoor heritage prospers. If Theodore Roosevelt were alive today, he would draw the line and stop this mine from jeopardizing so many things Americans value. Please stand up for American businesses, jobs and a hunting and fishing paradise by denying a permit for the proposed Pebble mine. Sincerely, 31,502 American Hunters, Anglers, and Outdoor enthusiasts. Mollie Bernhoft (Anchorage, AK) Kathryn Hunter (South Lake Tahoe, CA) Jacobe Mckittrick (Glenwood Springs, CO)
