*The Mystery of “My Little Ponies”*

Someone has been having fun hiding some little characters in various places
all around URock. Unfortunately, some of these critters have been near
projection cameras or other pieces of technology and wreaked a bit of
havoc. For now they have all been removed so we do not have to call IT
Services for an onsite repair visit!

*New URock Apparel Catalog*

KDK Apparel Printing and Embroidery (owned by a former URock student) has
created a new catalog of URock clothing and
items<http://learn.maine.edu/rockland/files/2011/10/UROCKcatalog_nov2011.pdf>.
