COLBY NOTES

The Colby College fraternities will
this week vote on an amendment to
the bylaws of the college Student
Council which if accepted will I'M
doubtedly be of much merit to that
body. The first article proposed is
relative to an assessment of each
member of the council of annual dues
to be paid by the group represented.
Each fraternity, the non-fratern
group, and each college class will be
responsible for its representative in
this matter and if the amendment is
accepted will be responsible for the
fee. This fund will be used as a work
ing basis for the council and will be
available for any activity of the or
ganization which is taken in relation
to college affairs. The second amend
ment which is to be proposed is aimed
at those members of the council who
md 1t unable to attend meetings and
VINO fail to send a substitute. Such
action on the part of the members
would at times prevent the meeting
because of the absence of quorum
and this proposal will undoubtedly be
unanimously approved. In substance
1t is that any member who absents
himself from any meeting of the coun-
Gil without sending a substitute to
represent MS group VIII be fined 81,
this fine to be paid by the group repre-
scented. The third proposal refers to
the payment of such fines and is to
the effect that failure to pay dues or
fines prohibits the guilty member from
taking part in the meetings and ac-
tivities of the council until such as
sessments are paid
The amendments will probably be
accepted by the various groups as
there is apparently nothing in any of
them which is not meant to benefit the
council and which if put into opera
ton would not be successful.
Announcement has been made of the
addition to the history department of
Colby College of six additional courses
to be offered beginning next fall.
These courses will cover both history
and political science and wei be I'M
der the direction of Prof. T. NJ. Grif-
fifth. who is at the present time COM
pleting a two years graduate course
at Harvard University. These courses
will be offered every year beginning
with 1862 and will greatly increases
the value of the history department,
which is at the present unable to offer
a sufficient number of courses to salts
fy the desire Of the many students
wishing to enter courses in that sub
ject.

IN this day and age. is there any

renovate some old furniture to
make It At in with modern ideas

1t is 50 easy to change any ugly
piece of golden oak or vanished

In repainting furniture, 1t Is not
really necessary to remove the old
finish. but it Is essential that the
surface be thoroughly clean.
So. in considering equipment for
any such undertaking. be sure to
include scrubbing brush and
plenty OF soap. The other neces-
sary materials are the paint. in
Guiding eramel if the finish is to be
glossy, clean paint brush of the
proper size for the task, and some
old cloths for wiping off the drops
of paint which are occasionally
bound to fall when they aren't
wanted.
To prepare the furniture. scrub it
clean, rubbing the soap directly on
the brush to apply to the surface.
For this reason. Clipped soap is
more convenient than the bar va
riety. Rinse with clear water and
dry thoroughly before starting to
paint.
This is all the preliminary pre-
paration needed unless there is re-
pair work Of some kind to be made.
which. of course, should be finished
before any paint is applied.
The only other precautions are
to brush the paint on evenly and
thinly. applying several coats in

sure to let each coat dry before

nished bonds of $500 for his appear
ance at the September term of the
kennebec county superior court in Au-
guSta. He was represented in court
by Arthur j. Crafty and pleaded not

Oscar Haglund, a deputy sheriff, was
the first witness for the State and his
story was that on the evening of May
IL he visited the store with Deputy
Sheriff William V. Nash and Federal
Prohibition Officer George B. Lydick
The officers went to the back room of
the establishment where Haglund
found an empty gallon can. Mr.. Hag-
lund went down cellar to search and

full of whlskey. Mr.. Daviau was not
present when the liquor was found as
he was caring for customers in the
front of the store. but he Joined the
officers shortly after the liquor had
been found. In cross-examination Mr..
Haglund said the proprietor of the
store had nothing to say when he first
knew that the liquor had been found
but that he later said it was his pri-
vate stock
Mr.. Nash told of finding the empty
bottle and he said he was pulling out
all the lower drawers of the prescrip-
ton cabinet to see if anything was
