Abstract/ Summary

The Maine Perspective, a publication for the University of Maine, was a campus newsletter produced by the Department of Public Affairs which eventually transformed into the Division of Marketing and Communication. Regular features include listings of newly released titles by UMaine authors, "Look Who's On Campus," an opinion column entitled "Viewpoint," and Classified Ads. Included in this issue are articles covering the Fogler Library Friends organization, the publication of research by Steve Craig showing women are cast in commercials about over the counter (OTC) medications almost twice as often as men, and a profile piece about UMaine Researcher Linda Kling.
