Student Center vendors provide the college with "a wild and wonderful range of things from plants to army boots," said Earl Smith, dean of the college. Colby takes reservations from vendors during the summer, said Tullio Nieman, director of student activities. "This year we were booked by around August 15," he said. "We've been coming to Colby for a few years," said Dave Whittlesley,a vendor representing the Unique Boutique in Boston. "Sales have been pretty good." The boutique sells mostly "heavier stuff" for winter, Wriittlesley said, such as wool sweaters and mittens. "Colby students are largely pragmatic when it comes to getting stuff for winter," he said. Nieman said the fee for vendors to set up in the student center is $50. Student organizations and clubs are MEClfltOSIl if usually not charged.

To get into the concert taking place next to food stands, students had to pay a $3 donation, which could be payed with the coupons. Those opting to use their coupons for admission were then left with only $3 for lunch, barely enough for a burger, soda and chips. As the Echo reported last week, WMHB said the 'donation' would be optional for Colby students and mandatory only for Waterville residents. Thank you But when some Colby students tried to enter the concert area, they were told they had to pay the 'optional' donation fee to get in. Luckily the lack of food and the concert fee only irritated a few students, since few even ventured to the Shell in the first place. And those who did left early.
