'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.
