Sigma Xi Chapter, Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity, University of Maine, Orono. 23 pages, well illustrated, pictorial wrappers, 8-1/2 by 11 inches, very good. "It is with great pleasure that we present to the University of Maine Community and all Maine Alumni this history of the Maine Bear Mascot. This publication was prompted by two motivations. It originally was the four page work of Geoff Miller who portrayed the bear from 1976-1980. The work was rediscovered by Peter Domino and Peter Debruin of Alpha Phi Omega in the fall of 1983. The two noted the inherent value of the work to the University Community and began the initial research. . . " From the dedication: The Brothers of Alpha Phi Omega would like to dedicate this publication to Dr. William Lucy who for the past fourteen years has contributed to the students and organizations of the University of Maine. We would especially like to thank him for letting us physically take over his office, encouraging us to scatter 'bear memorabilia' about, and allowing us to drive his secretary to the brink of insanity. We feel that he is the driving force that keep so many campus organizations running smoothly. It is Dean Lucy's unique 'Maine Spirit' that made this publication possible.
