Barnicle to speak by Bill Bullock
Mike Barnicle, staff writer for the Boston Globe and owner of the most talked about column in the city of Boston has been chosen to speak to the graduating class of 1987 this spring at the commencememnt ceremonies. Perhaps unknown to the many students living beyond the Boston area, Barnicle's Metro/Region column tackles all the issues of America today, ranging from the homeless and drug problems in Boston, to the Red Sox and the impact of the "Yupp ie" in America today. Mr. Barnicle's investigative reporting coupled with his delightful humor and wit make him a Boston favorite and an exciting selection for Commencement this spring. Mr. Barnicle's reporting style has been well known through- out New England and he made national headlines in 1980 when he was convicted of contempt for withholding the identity of a confidential eye-witness to the fatal stabbing of 16 year old John D. Fitzpatrick. Barnicle's column involved talking with an eye-witness who allegedly identified Fitzpatrick's killer. Mr. Barnicle's column can be found in the Metro /Region section of the Boston Globe and his humorous insight and gripping stories reveal a refreshing view of America today. His arrival at Colby will be much anticipated and will undoubtedl ' " photo b y entertain the graduating MS Lip Sync Festivities took the limelight this past weekend. y Geoff Bysshe seniors with his views on life.
