Football Malpractice, UNECOM's only MS-II representation in the Women's
Intramural Flag Football League, kicked off the season on Wednesday,
October 8th against undergraduate team Yonis.
Although the MS-II's were held scoreless in their season opener,
they looked strong and "It's fun to get out there and mix it up," commented
Malpractice player Alanna Burke. The
team agrees, it's one heck of a stress reliever from the rigors of
studying. "There's just
something about the combination of team spirit and sport that makes it
worthwhile," stated MS-II Wendy Come show your support as the MS-II Women's team fights for a spot in
the playoffs. As Coach Christie
Silver put it, "The team that plays together, wins together."
And there you have it.

879-0563 SGA Guidelines for funding Clubs and Organizations In order to be an active club/organization on this campus that can
receive money from the SGA, a club must be financially responsible for
itself. This includes, but is
not limited to, maintaining a school account with a positive balance. According to Appendix 2 of the SGA Handbook, monetary disbursements
are made to clubs "equal to 25% of the previous year's SGA budget as
derived from activity fees, to be split evenly among the enrolled
organizations and made in two disbursements." This means that clubs can expect
to receive about $150 in two installments of $75 at some point in time
this year. Because all clubs
and organizations fall under the umbrella of SGA, a club must be deemed
financially responsible before it can receive these disbursements. The requirements for this are
described in general terms in the SGA Handbook. Clubs may also petition the SGA Financial Committee for additional
funding of single events during the course of the year. At the August 20,
2003 SGA meeting, a motion was passed detailing and clarifying the
procedure that Clubs and Organizations must follow in order to request
additional funding from the SGA. A full
statement of the policy can be found at: http://pipeline.une.edu/cp/tn/fs
on the clubs and organizations group page. Club and organization presidents

Health Care now has a new website!
University Health Care
is a community service of the University of New England (UNE) and its
College of Osteopathic Medicine. We offer comprehensive health care for
patients of all ages in 12 convenient locations. Several ways to reach the site are by clicking on the medical school’s highlight photo on the UNE home page, from.the Current Students portal, from the Faculty and Staff portal, from the Parents portal or the UNE sitemap under "Administrative Offices”. UNE Provides Student Mentoring Services in Biddeford UNE has recently become
a collaborating partner with the Northern York County YMCA and the
Biddeford schools to provide mentoring and other skills-development
programs to Biddeford school children. The Y and the school system
established the partnership last spring, creating the 21st Century
Community Learning Center. President Featherman commented on this
collaboration stating, “UNE is deeply committed to partnering with the
Biddeford schools and YMCA to provide mentoring services to Biddeford
students. The city of Biddeford has been very supportive of the University
of New England. We are happy, in turn, to have our students offering
mentoring and other skills-development programs to the children of
Biddeford.” The collaboration stems from the national No Child Left
Behind Legislation, which provides additional activities to enrich
academic development. Biddeford school students kindergarten through
eighth grade will benefit from the 21st Century Community Learning Center.
YMCA Program Curriculum Coordinator Sue
Ellen Whitmore stated, “My hope for the 21st Century Community Learning
Center is that through the power of caring, engaged adults, children will
fully explore their capabilities, and will experience a brighter future.
Together, we can make a difference.”
The 21st Century Community Learning Center staff and collaborating
organizations are creating an out-of-school-time program to further the
academic, enrichment, recreational, and family literacy opportunities for
students at Biddeford Primary, John F. Kennedy and Biddeford Middle
Schools. The program will provide organizational skills development,
academic mentoring and tutoring services, friendship skills development,
performing arts activities, non-competitive games and more. UNE students
will serve as mentors to individual Biddeford school students or a group
of students. This campus-wide service learning opportunity aligns with the
University’s core curriculum emphasis on the importance of citizenship
and civic responsibility. The mentors will be asked to dedicate one
afternoon a week to the out-of-school-time program.
In addition, UNE students have the opportunity to become assistant
teachers. UNE faculty may provide in-service presentations to the
Center’s staff. For further information contact Andrea Pressman, Communities for Children AmeriCorps*VISTA apressman@pipeline.une.edu 283-0170 extension 2294. The college

gift books, children's books, etc. Line numbers and university purchase
orders are accepted. Please
call the bookstore for additional information. Request for Assistance Allen
L. Bell, Ph.D., Anatomy Dept. COM, is attempting to find an airplane pilot
within the UNE Community. The reason a pilot is needed is that the
University needs some new aerial photographs of the campus. Many of the
photos we now have were taken a number of years ago. Many of them were very
good and that served the University's purposes for a while. With all the physical changes that have taken place since then, we really should get some new aerial photos. Steve Price has asked Allen to take some photos and he needs a way to get in the air to do that. It is also important to do it before all of the leaves fall. So if you are a pilot and would be interested in participating in this endeavor, please contact Allen at extension 2209 or abell@une.edu. The University will pay for all Rental charges for the plane. UNE Band All faculty, staff & students are invited to
join the UNE Band. All levels of skill are welcomed.
If you would like more information, please contact Amy Wollstadt at

UNE community, so if you know of anyone (family or individual) who would
benefit from the generosity of our community, please contact Carrie Bogue x. 2674, Ellen Parsons, x 2271 or 2371, Glen-Ellen Roth, x. 2258 or Sally Witham x 2524. New Department of Pediatrics Administrative Assistant The Department of Pediatrics is pleased to welcome our new
