BOWCOIN COLLEGE.
Plans for Minstrel Show-Improve
nents in Dormitories.

Brunswick, Me, Nov. S.-(Specia)
The preliminary arrangements are
| in progress for the annual college
minstrel show which is given each
year shortly after the Christmas
recess. The show is produced for the
| benefit of the Baseball Association and
| in consequence it receives the support
| Of the entire student body. 5. S
Webster, manager Of the baseball
team, has not yet made any definite
statement as to the scope of the enter
tainment since the plans, now for
muated, are subject to radical change
at any time. This year the manage
ment OF the show faces new financial
problem on account Of the action
taken by Brunswick business men in
regard to refusing to advertise in
either college programmes or college
score cards. This action will naturally
mean considerable loss in income to
The performance In order 10 make up
FOR this loss. it will probably be ncceS-
sury to produce the show i'll one or
more places outside of Brunswick The
faculty has not yet been consulted in
regard to taking the MINISTRIES out of
town. but their consent can probably
be obtained, if the show makes u
favorable impression in the BrunSM icl

The faculty at their last meeting
voted an appropriation for the purpose
of supplying the dormitories with run
ming water and a>bowl on each floor
and also install shower baths in both
ends of Maine hall This action was
taken in response to an urgent and
unanimous petition, signed by every
occupant of each dormitory, that these
conveniences might be put in. Ihese
new acquisitions come as a distinct
benefit to the students, who were
formerly forced to carry their WAFER
from the basement to their rooms.
There was natural and legitimate re-
luctance on the part of the faculty TO-
ward voting these conVenienceS as IN
the past privileges of this nature were
abused by the occupants OF the various
ends The reason for granting shower
baths to Maine hal is based upon the
fact that this dormitory has places
better adapted for showers than the
other halls This scheme of showers
in the end is merely on trial basis
and before steps are taken to construct
-,ecepticles for baths in the other halls
he committee in charge of the build
.ngs and grounds wish to feel assured
that the students will not abuse the
;howers by any carelessness or rouSh
house uses.
