The Terrapin Anime Society is looking to raise awareness of their club among the university population and increase their declining membership after losing many members to graduation last year.
About 20 people were in and out of the club’s first meeting earlier this month, down from crowds of 100 or more that filled Hornbake Library’s fourth-floor viewing gallery in years past.
Jerry Spessard has been managing the finances of the 207-year-old Hagerstown Town & Country Almanack for 19 years. But he’s afraid that, if sales of the folksy book don’t pick up, it may not be around a few years from now.
Maryland began reporting HIV infections in 1994. These numbers show cumulative HIV cases, by county, reported through Sept. 30, 2003.
On a slightly drizzly morning Sept. 14, about 1,200 bikers converged on the Harley- Davidson/Buell store on Baltimore’s Pulaski Highway.
