Problem is, if an organ owner misses a payment, the company’s hired killers, or repo men, come in and do a bit of cleaning. The problem: this movie is a limited release. The good news: the soundtrack is out.

The weekend is always the time for exciting events to happen. The best way to have a good weekend consists of three things: a lot of food, good friends, and good times.

That event is better known as Magikon.

Smokers, smokers, step right up—pick your day to stop smoking. You don’t have to quit right now, but pick a day to stop.
That was the message in the McGauvran Student Union last Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., where there was a booth set up for the American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout. Susan Pulido, the alcohol and other drug health educator from Health Services, took action to educate the UMass Lowell population on the dangers of smoking and methods to quit.

If you’ve ever wondered why some students are wearing navy blue uniforms around campus, you can be assured that it has nothing to do with a UMass Lowell postal service program. The young men and women sporting these outfits are enrolled in UML’s Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). The ROTC is a military program designed to train young people to be successful leaders as they pursue careers in the military. The program is offered at colleges around the U.S., and each one is affiliated with one of the branches of the military. UML’s program is an Air Force ROTC.
