I sent an email asking of old photos that were in The Southerner were archived. This is what I got:
 * Yes they are. Some are in negative form, and more recent pics are in CD form, but most are in general picture form in the university archives.

I guess that means McCain. -- Brad

I can't believe how many people the UAC got to come to USM! I only mentioned the ones I thought were cool. There were plenty more. There were multiple concerts throught the year. The whole time I've been at USM I only remember Train coming. Now they don't even show movies. -- Brad
