Eight Plus Seven
The Colby Eight received good reviews for their latest compact disk titled Bitter Little Dutchboy, released this spring.
The CD contains 20 songs and features the voices of 15 current and former Colby Eight performers. Both the 1994-95 and 1995-96 Colby Eight groups provided songs, includ-ing recent popular works like Seal's "Kiss From a Rose" and R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts."
Judy Ring '99, who reviewed the CD for The Colby Echo, praised Jonathan Howe '96's arrangements and called the album "a great mix of tunes."

A Fun Atmosphere
The Student Environmental Coalition sponsored an ambitious program of activities to celebrate Earth Day in late April. Nature walks and instructive ecology tours in Colby's Perkins Arboretum were popular attractions, as were interactive programs featuring reptiles and birds of prey.
Several Colby faculty participated. Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies and Government Beth DeSombre spoke about financing international environmental protection, Associate Professor of Science, Technology, and Society James Fleming presented a talk on global warming and Mitchell Family Professor of Economics Tom Tietenberg discussed market-based approaches to environmental protection.
