Student Government brings in newspapers

by ANDREA LEE, CONTRIBUTOR

   Beginning this Monday, the Bowdoin Student Government will be providing students with complimentary newspapers during the month of February. The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and USA Today will be available Monday through Friday at Coles Tower, Hyde Hall, Chamberlain Hall, Baxter House, and Thorne Dining Hall.
   This pilot program is intended to help the Student Government decide whether to continue the program on a smaller scale, based on student response and available financial resources.
   "Although the program only lasts a month, the Student Government hopes that it will be worthwhile for the community," said Jeff Favolise '01, chair of the Student Executive Board. "We strongly believe that this will help students learn more about the world outside of Bowdoin."
   There will also be recycling containers near the newspaper racks.
   The members of the Student Government are eager to hear feedback. Please contact a representative or visit the Student Government website at www.bowdoin.edu/studgov. There will also be a survey about this program taken at the beginning of next week in both Thorne Dining Hall and Smith Union.
