Sodexho Contract Up July 1 2008

Sodexho’s contract is up next July. That means that the school should open a bidding process for a new contract some time this year.
According to the SGA president, one of the top issues that will be eliminated from the new contract is the contractor’s first right of refusal to provide catering to student events. [...]

doors of possibility are opening

The long anticipated basketball game has finally come and gone, and I have to be honest. I was feeling a little apprehensive about how it would all go last night. I knew that it was definitely possible to fill the pub, and to fill the RAC with tons of students going nuts at [...]

UMBC Defeats Morgan State

UMBC Mens Basketball is now 5 and 1.
According to some reports, the one loss was rigged by the refs. UMBC has apparently filed a complaint about that one loss to the NCAA.

TRW Roundtable Forum

I just saw an event on Facebook that students may be interested in. It’s scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 5th, during free hour (12-1). Basically, it’s hosted by TRW to get some feedback on what students are feeling about the school paper. I really encourage anyone who has any feeling on the paper [...]

UU! True UMBC Story: IBeJolly

We have something to get out into the open. That’s right, we said it — we. IBeJolly was comprised of two different writers. That’s right, we said it — was.
I can no longer stand the other writer. He is ignorant, pompous and he smells like squirrel testicles. That’s right, I said it — squirrel testicles.
No [...]
