Party Favors
The Colby Echo wants the College to provide return transportation from off-campus parties.
The newspaper, in an editorial September 19, said the College's "safe rides" program falls short of providing adequate transportation from parties in Waterville for students "who may not have cars and don't feel comfortable asking upperclassmen for a ride."
"With half of the senior class (thus almost half of the 21-year-olds) off campus and parties fewer and farther between on campus, it is clear that events which three years ago would have happened in Drummond are now happening in Waterville," the Echo said. "The social gatherings which have moved off Colby property are still part of the Colby social scene, and the College should act accordingly."

They Read About That
Students from the Class of 2000 who attended the speech President Bill Clinton gave at a campaign rally in Portland in early October were well prepared. The Colby Echo reported that Clinton, discussing the potential breakthroughs that could result from the Human Genome Project, touched on genetic research that is the subject of Biology As Ideology, the summer reading selection for this year's incoming class.
