Students walk across the University of Maine Mall in Orono between classes Monday afternoon. When UM President Robert Kennedy tapped one of his discretionary funds to buy out Cindy Blodgett's contract, it was somewhat reminiscent of a previous univeristy president using those funds during the departure of another women's basketball coach more than 20 years ago.
