Security steps up enforcement of alcohol policy after Epicuria

) e O* ce of Safety and Security has stepped up enforcement of the College’s alcohol policy in response to events at two o+ -campus houses and at the Epicuria party last month at Ladd House. In an e+ ort to prevent addition-al transports, Security will increase its presence at campus-wide parties and closely regulate unregistered events, according to Director of Safety and Se-curity Randy Nichols.

“Students should expect an answer, so to speak, from an enforcement per-spective, whenever we have reason to increase our enforcement e+ orts as a result of a bad weekend,” said Nichols, referring to incidents at the September 15 Epicuria party. “And I think certain-ly once things settle down, we’ll adjust our enforcement accordingly.”

On the night of the Epicuria party, two underage members of the rugby team were transported to Parkview Ad-ventist Medical Center due to overcon-sumption of alcohol. In addition, two members of the rugby team received legal summonses in connection with an o+ -campus event at Union Street.

Security will be strictly enforcing its hard alcohol policy in response to the four transports that occurred on the night of the toga party, Nichols said. Students found in possession of hard alcohol will be written up, and o* cers will patrol the upper , oors of College Houses during registered events to en-sure that students are not consuming hard alcohol.

“During Epicuria, two of the trans-ports occurred as a result from con-suming hard alcohol upstairs,” said

Bates holds memorial service for Troy PappasBY LINDA KINSTLER

ORIENT STAFF

The Bates College Chapel filled with mourners yesterday after-noon for a memorial service in honor of Bates first year Troy Pap-pas, who died last Friday after sustaining serious injuries from a fall down a dormitory stairwell on September 29.

Police told the Portland Press Herald that they believe Pappas, 18, was sliding down a banister from the third floor to the first floor of the dorm when he fell, fracturing his skull. Pappas was rushed to Central Maine Medical Center im-mediately following the accident at around 9:30 p.m. that evening, where he remained in critical con-dition until his death.

) e son of John Pappas and Mary Blackwell of Eliot, Maine, Pap-pas was a member of the National

Honors Society, math team, and captain of the varsity football and baseball teams at Marshwood High School. A- er graduating in 2012, the Press Herald named him one of the school’s top graduates. He planned to study medicine and was taking courses in math, chemistry and physics at Bates, where he also played for the football team, accord-ing to Roland Adams, Bates senior communications adviser.

“Right now the Bates community is still focused on appropriately re-membering Troy and trying to be of support to his family,” wrote Adams in an email to the Orient.

Bates Multifaith Chaplain Bill Blaine-Wallace led yesterday’s memo-rial service. ) e Bates O* ce of Com-munications reported that Pappas’ family and teammates sat in the . rst pews, facing his signed football jersey and a cascade of 1,000 paper doves folded by community members in his Please see BATES, page 4

A Bowdoin Outing Club (BOC) trip returned to campus Wednesday night a- er going unaccounted for overnight while camping in the Allagash woods. ) e group, led by Karl Koehler ’14 and Stephen Ligtenberg ’15, had no ability to contact the College or o* cials at the BOC, who were le- wondering why the students had failed to return to campus as scheduled on Tuesday.

“I had never heard of this happen-ing to an Outing Club trip before, and I now am pretty sure that it hasn’t ever happened,” said Koehler.

a series of lakes and streams, planning to spend four days canoeing.

) e group only made it about half-way to their destination before going ashore and portaging their canoes, which they ultimately le- in the woods.

Few things went according to plan; bad weather and unexpectedly strong currents set the trip back almost a day behind schedule.

“None of them were really anyone’s fault,” said Kyle Werner ’14, who went on the trip. “I think it started out with weather. Normally on Outing Club trips we get through that. If it’s windy or raining, we paddle harder. It held us back a bit, but we didn’t make it as far as we wanted the . rst day.”

By the end of the third day, Koehler and Ligtenberg decided that they didn’t have time to canoe all the way to the

car at the end of the lake. ) e leaders moved the group to shore and deter-mined that the two of them would walk from the lakeside to the nearby road, and run the 10 miles to the car, which they would drive back to the rest of the group and their canoes.

“We decided we would just go straight for the road, and we . gured if we could just get to a road, Stephen and I were going to run get the car, bring them back, load up and maybe drive to the ice caves,” said Koehler.

) ey quickly hit a dead end into thick woods.

Unable to portage the canoes through the thick growth, the group rowed back the way they came before going back ashore and camping for the night.

Bowdoin’s endowment performed comparatively well in . scal year (FY) 2012, with a 2.6 percent return on investments as of June 30, 2012. ) e endowment stands at $902.4 mil-lion, down from $904.2 million in FY 2011, when Bowdoin reported returns of 22.3 percent.

) ough 2.6 percent is signi. cantly lower than the College’s projected return of 7 percent, Bowdoin fared much better than most peer institu-tions; Cambridge Associates, a . rm that tracks endowment performance in the U.S., found that the mean for col-lege and university endowment returns nationally was -1.0 percent in FY 2012, according to the Bowdoin Daily Sun.

“In our projections we assume a higher annual return, but we are projecting that return over the long term, so looking at one year’s return is not necessarily instructive,” wrote

President Barry Mills in an email to the Orient. “I would say that given the economy and the returns of other schools, the return on the endowment last year is very impressive.”

Paula Volent, the senior vice presi-dent for investments at the College, echoed Mills’ comments.

“Our endowment did what it was supposed to do in a volatile market. We protected capital while generating a return that is top decile,” she wrote in an email the Orient.

According to Inside Higher Ed, uni-versities across the board are report-ing investment returns that fall sig-ni. cantly short of both FY 2011 and pre-recession growth rates. ) is . scal year, Harvard reported a 0.05 percent loss on its $30.7 billion endowment, and Stanford, Yale, Duke, and the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania all reported returns of less than . ve percent.

CAMPUS SPOTLIGHT

Bordwin ’13 brings Relay for Tay to campus this Sunday

In a true demonstration of crowd-sourcing for a cause, Simon Bordwin ’13 is organizing fundraiser at Bow-doin this Sunday in honor of his late friend Taylor Matthews, who died from a type of bone cancer called os-teosarcoma at the age of 16. So far, 27 Bowdoin students have signed on to participate in Relay for Tay and Bor-dwin has raised $1,123 for children’s cancer research on Crowdrise, an on-line fundraising site.

Taylor received her diagnosis at age 11, when a malignant tumor was found on her ribs. A3 er battling the cancer for 4 ve years—undergoing countless surgeries and treatments—she passed away in February 2008, during her ju-nior year at Edgemont High School in Scarsdale, New York.

Taylor founded Tay-Bandz in seventh grade, which her mother, Sue Matthews, describes as a “kids helping kids organi-zation.” Tay-Bandz focuses on raising awareness and funding for children’s cancer, and started out by selling ac-cessories like key chains, bracelets and sweatbands at local high school athletic events and community shops.

Since then, the organization has hugely expanded, and has now raised over $1.5 million thanks to e5 orts by Taylor’s friends and family to organize fundraisers across the country. Mat-thews recently approached Bordwin and a number of Taylor’s high school friends about organizing a Relay for Tay at their respective colleges.

“All of this really is a continuation of everything she had done, and it would have made her extraordinarily happy,” said Bordwin.

Ten colleges and universities—in-cluding Bates, Amherst, Washington University in St. Louis, and the Univer-sity of Michigan—will host a Relay for Tay this year, and together these events have raised over $42,000 to date.

Bordwin acknowledges that at Bow-doin, it has been “di6 cult [to organize] because it’s not a personal cause to the College…the name is so personal so it’s not getting as much recognition.”

His hope is that more community members will sign on to participate in the coming days, but “Whatever response this gets, I’m not too con-cerned,” Bordwin said. “It’s cool to be able to do it”.

Tay-Bandz funds research on chil-dren’s osteosarcoma and a solid tumor lab at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City, which is named in honor of Taylor.

At Relay for Tay, students will walk laps around the outdoor track. Bord-win is also trying to recruit “celebrity” walkers around campus, including President Barry Mills and Director of Safety and Security Randy Nichols.

Each walker—celebrity or other-wise—has collected donations for Tay-Bandz. Students interested in joining the cause by can register or donate at www.crowdrise.com/bowdoincollege.

Taylor’s goal was to prevent other children from su5 ering from cancer, said Matthews.

“If she could save the life of one child, this would all be worth it,” she said.

Relay for Tay will take place this Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Whit-tier Field.

Bowdoin’s website almost en-tirely reverted to its old design last week after a short-lived switch to a new homepage design. Associate Vice President of Interactive Mar-keting Robert Kerr sent an email to all students and faculty on October 5, detailing the rationale behind the latest switch.

“In considering how to make im-provements and how best to 4 x some of the glitches in functionality, we don’t be-lieve ‘retro4 tting’ the new design is the best course. Rather than trying to alter the new design, we are going to merge the best elements of the new with popu-lar aspects of the former site,” Kerr wrote in the email.

According to Kerr, the feedback re-ceived by Bowdoin’s online media de-partment, the Interactive Media Group, motivated him to make the switch.

“We got people who absolutely loved it, and we got people who absolutely hated it,” he said of the new design.

Some of the most popular aspects of the new format included the new navi-gation system and bigger pictures on the homepage. However, the lack of news content was roundly criticized, espe-cially by alumni.

“Instead of trying to bulk news into a design that really wasn’t meant to have news on it, we’re going to go back to the page that had the news on it and main-tain the navigation system,” said Kerr.

So far, the reaction from students to the return to the old format has been mixed.

“I preferred the layout that included the ‘Students’ section at the bottom of the page, with access to library, One-Card, laundry, and dining web pages,” said Claire Velez ’16. “But I de4 nitely appreciate that the homepage once again tells me what’s currently going on at Bowdoin.”

Other students disagreed. “I thought the new website design

was much more appealing than the old one,” said Ryan Kuleza ’15.

“I disliked how the new site design ca-tered mostly to people who didn’t know about the school already,” said May Kim

’16. “7 e old design works better at serving the current student body.”

Kerr said that he hopes the website can continue to evolve and change in the future.

“One of the things that makes the web interesting is that it’s not static, that it changes—it can be interactive and adaptable,” he said.

Kerr also emphasized the need for the website to stay current.

“I’d like to see the home page change much more than it has in the past. It’s essentially been the same for nine years, which is a really long time in web time,” Kerr said.

BSG holds fi rst meeting of 2012-2013 academic year

Bowdoin Student Government (BSG) approved one decision at its 4 rst meeting of the year on Wednes-day, unanimously deciding to update the bylaws of the Student Organiza-tion Oversight Committee.

Prior to the update, the SOOC

bylaws described several functions that no longer applied to the orga-nization. 7 e update preserved the SOOC’s adjudication procedures, which enable the organization to judge and punish student groups who violate BSG regulations. Last year, the SOOC followed these pro-cedures during their investigation of the Meddiebempsters.

“I didn’t change anything that was groundbreaking,” said Brian Kim ’13, BSG vice president for stu-dent organizations, referring to the updated bylaws.

BSG discussed the shuttle system, which operated over fall break for the 4 rst time this year, and was in high demand, running at capacity for most of the weekend.

7 e remainder of the meeting was spent introducing each of the com-mittees, all of which brie8 y described their functions and goals for the year.

“7 is meeting was really about get-ting the ball rolling,” said Dani Che-diak ’13, BSG president. “It was an orientation of sorts.”

3 e Supreme Court heard oral argu-ments in the case of Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin, marking the 4 rst time in a decade the high court has heard a case challenging the constitutionality of a5 rmative action admission policies at institutions of higher education.

3 e outcome of this case will likely extend far beyond the University of Texas (UT) admissions system, and could impact private institutions like Bowdoin. However, the Court’s deci-sion is not expected until early 2013, and would not impact Bowdoin’s admissions process for the Class of 2017.

3 e College is among thirty-seven institutions that signed an amicus brief in support of the University of Texas, submitted to the Supreme Court last April.

If the court rules that taking race into account is uncon-stitutional, private institutions like Bow-doin will be forced to change their poli-cies, due to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits racial dis-crimination in any programs receiving federal funding. As recently as 2003, the Supreme Court upheld programs that consider race as part of a “holistic re-view” of applicants’ quali4 cations.

3 e amicus brief signed by Bow-doin and its NESCAC peers urges the court to continue allowing colleges and universities to admit students who “will, individually and collec-tively, take fullest advantage of what

the college has to o6 er, contribute the most to the educational process, and use what they have learned for the bene4 t of the larger society.”

UT-Austin’s current policy auto-matically admits all Texan applicants who graduate in the top ten percent of their high school class. In 4 lling the re-maining spots, the university considers race as one of many competing factors. 3 e goal of the admissions process is to enroll students who will “provide lead-ership to the state,” according to a state-ment made by UT-Austin’s director of admissions to 3 e New York Times.

Bowdoin’s admission philosophy is similar to UT-Austin’s in that it aims to admit students from a diversity of

backgrounds and walks of life. Like the UT system, the race of an applicant is one of many fac-tors considered. For Dean of Admissions Scott Meiklejohn, a diverse student body is an essential com-

ponent of Bowdoin’s liberal arts mission. “Bowdoin is interested in educating

a group of talented young leaders who will be good for the world,” he said.

3 ough the College is strongly in-vested in the outcome of this case, the admissions o5 ce has not yet cra7 ed an alternate plan if the Court rules against a5 rmative action.

Most of the admissions sta6 travels around the country recruiting appli-cants in the fall.

“We’re not making a Plan B now,” said Meiklejohn. “We’re all obviously reading the news. Even if I wanted to get my sta6 together to talk about this, I couldn’t.”

3 ere were 149 alcohol-related disciplinary actions and seven forc-ible sex o6 ences on campus during the 2011 calendar year, according to the Annual Clery Campus Crime Re-ports, released on October 2.

Bowdoin had the third-highest fre-quency of alcohol violations among all NESCAC schools in that time period, trailing Wesleyan University and Trinity College, with 382 and 176 violations respectively. Most liquor law violations involve the underage consumption of alcohol.

Bowdoin also shares the third spot with Williams for the highest re-ported number of forcible sexual as-saults, with seven reported assaults, the same number as in 2010.

3 e statistics for the 2012 calendar year are largely similar to those from 2011 thus far, according to Director of Safety and Security Randy Nichols. 3 e College has thus far documented 143 liquor law violations and 23 drug law viola-tions in 2012. 3 ere were 40 drug vio-lations in 2011.

3 e College must release the an-nual report in compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998. 3 e report does

not include records of bike the7 s, larceny and mild misdemeanors, all frequent occurrences on campus. 3 e numbers re8 ect only violations of Maine law that occurred on campus or in public areas directly adjacent to campus. Any o6 enses occurring o6 campus are not included, nor are violations of Bowdoin’s ban on hard alcohol or reports of unregistered parties.

Nichols said that students should be aware that legal enforcement var-ies between schools. Informal warn-ings are not included in the Clery Report’s statistics.

“Our alcohol transports are usu-ally the lowest in the NESCAC. Does that necessarily equate to the number

of alcohol viola-tions we’re seeing on campus? I don’t know,” Nichols said. “You might 4 nd an-other campus that has a low number of violations cited, but have signi4 cantly

higher alcohol transports.” Nichols also said he does not feel

the Clery Report re8 ects the total number of forcible sexual assaults on college campuses.

“We can only report what comes to our knowledge,” Nichols said. “Sexual assaults are among the most underre-ported crimes.”

Bowdoin does include anony-mous reports of sexual assaults in the Clery Report.

The outcome of the case will likely extend far beyond the Texas admissions system,

and could impact private institutions like Bowdoin.

On the morning of the 4 nal day, the group portaged its canoes up from the beach, through a marsh and into yet another dead end.

“We had to spend all morning pulling them up to this swamp that we had to cross. And then as soon as we cross this swamp there’s supposed to be this road. And its just not there,” said Werner. “On the map there’s trails and roads...and there just wasn’t a road.”

Group morale remained strong de-spite the adverse conditions.

“3 e group of kids was just so strong and we bonded so well, and the ability to remain positive was amazing,” said Wer-ner. “I think it was largely due to Karl and Stephen’s really strong leadership to

keep us all in good spirits.”So a7 er their two mile portage, the

group ditched their canoes and bush-whacked in the dark until Koehler and Ligtenberg decided to make camp.

3 e next morning they 4 nally reached the road where the two leaders set out for the car.

“We got picked up by a guy who gave us a ride in the back of his truck,” said Koehler. “He was really nice, gave us each a Nutterbutter.”

On Tuesday a7 ernoon, BOC o5 -cials had decided to notify the students’ parents of their disappearance, but they

located the group just minutes later, ac-cording to Koehler.

Everyone made it back to campus safely, and Koehler and Ligtenberg will return to Allagash this weekend to re-cover the canoes.

“Nobody’s really mad at us,” said Koehler. “We did everything we could and everybody was 4 ne. Generally if the Outing Club gets all the humans its sends out back, they’re pretty happy.”

Werner thinks the trip was one of the most fun he has ever been on.

“It was great. Just a great trip all around,” he said. “It was also just incred-ibly beautiful, and seeing the northern lights was a once in a life time thing, I might well never see them again.”

Koehler o6 ered similar sentiments.“It was wild. It was worth it for the

northern lights I’d say,” he said.BOC Director Mike Woodru6

Nichols said that o4 cers will conduct more frequent “walk-throughs” of the College Houses and 5 rst year residence halls in order to address “any obvious al-cohol violations.” Nichols speci5 ed that alcohol violations include pre-gaming and, in particular, drinking games.

Nichols emphasized that Security’s approach towards underage drinking will continue to focus on what they con-sider the most dangerous violations.

Rather than strictly enforcing all un-derage drinking, Security takes a “more nuanced approach, where our e6 orts focus on the more high risk violations, the ones that are more likely to lead to hospitalizations, arrests, or people get-ting injured or killed,” he said.

Security noticeably upped its pres-ence at the ABC party at Helmreich House on Saturday, September 29. Se-curity increased the number of o4 cers patrolling the area and broke up two drinking games that took place at Helm-reich earlier in the evening.

Cameron Woodford ’15, president of Helmreich House, said that Security had noti5 ed Helmreich House that it would increase its presence “by three times as much” a7 er the Epicuria incident.

“Security showed up a lot…even be-fore anyone else showed up” to the ABC party, he said.

“We don’t mind an increased pres-ence, but we felt almost like we were being heckled,” said Woodford.

“I hadn’t experienced Security on that level before,” added Jared Littlejohn ’15 , proctor of Helmreich House.

According to Woodford, in addition to increasing its presence at the House

and breaking up the drinking games, Security reprimanded the alcohol host (A-host) Tyler Silver ’13 for leaving his post to go to the bathroom during the party.

“Randy told me and the A-Host that if he wanted to go to the bathroom, he needed to untap the keg and take the tap with him, which seemed unreason-able and unsanitary,” said Woodford. “He told us that we needed to tighten it up, run a tighter ship…He kept tell-ing us to tighten it up, and [when] we asked him to explain what he meant by tightening it up, he didn’t really have an explanation for us.”

“3 ere’s a certain level of mutual respect between Security and the stu-dents on this campus, and we were doing everything they asked,” added Woodford. “We were really safe…Helmreich hasn’t had any problems this year, and I just think we were be-ing treated a little unfairly.”

However, Silver said that he appre-ciated Security’s monitoring e6 orts.

“Security was just checking up on the party in Helmreich last Friday, and from my perspective they were just making sure everything was run-ning smoothly and safely,” wrote Sil-ver in an email to the Orient, “which I appreciated as the A-Host, especial-ly considering Helmreich is right on Maine Street.”

Nichols noted that Security “found a couple violations of the way alcohol was being handled by the Alcohol Host” during the ABC

party and that “the Alcohol Host was away from his post when he should not have been.”

“We addressed that and made sure he understood what our expectations were,” said Nichols. “But we had no reason to shut down the event. 3 e event itself went relatively well.”

Security o4 cers have attended recent College House meetings to inform students of the new policy, according to Associate Director of Student A6 airs Mary Pat McMahon.

However, Jordan Goldberg ’14, vice president of the IHC, said that College House residents “are a little on edge” and have expressed uncertainty about how the alcohol policy will a6 ect Col-lege House programming.

“3 ey’re not really sure what’s going to be happening now. 3 ey haven’t really experienced Security really cracking down [before this se-mester],” he explained.

Residents are unsure whether “5 ve people drinking beer and watching a football game” would be dispersed by Security under stricter enforcement of the drinking policy, said Goldberg.

Despite the increased presence of Security at parties, Woodford said he does not anticipate the stricter policy to signi5 cantly impact how College Houses conduct campus-wide events.

“When Security walks through a party now, everyone just sort of continues to go about their busi-ness,” he said. “I think the increased presence of Security actually makes things a lot easier. I just really hope that as long as nothing’s go-ing wrong, we can both be polite to each other.”

“If Security’s going to be that much of a presence at a campus-wide, I think it’ll make sure every-one stays on their toes,” added Lit-tlejohn. “I can’t imagine that’s ever a bad thing.”

Student food co-op provides sustainable, homestyle food BY MICHAEL COLBERT

STAFF WRITER

As environmental sustainability continues to gain cultural traction, the Bowdon Food Co-Op is capi-talizing on that trend by preparing healthy, local, and organic meals every week.

“We want to provide students with a creative outlet that has an environmental message with it,” said club leader Julia Livermore ’13.

Founded in 2009, the Bowdoin Food Co-Op fell apart briefly af-ter its original leaders graduated.

Livermore and fellow seniors No-elle Schoettle and Melissa Arliss revamped the club in the spring of 2010.

“We completely restructured the club. It’s a lot more organized now and hopefully more involved for the members as well,” Livermore said.

Each Monday night, three to four people sign up to cook for the 20 other members on a budget of $70.

Ian Kline ’15, a member and fu-ture leader of the club, says that this new system “does a really great job of getting everyone to participate.”

For the first time this Fall, the

club leadership secured an operat-ing budget that covers food. Mem-bers no longer have to pay four dollars for each meal as they have in past years, and Livermore says that membership and participation are up as a result.

Receiving funding has also al-lowed for the group to strenghen its focus on organic and local in-gredients, says Livermore.

Some of their funding has also gone toward replacing cooking supplies, which, according to Liver-more, disappeared over the summer from the kitchen in 30 College St. These thefts may prevent the club from hosting Thanksgiving dinner and other events.

In addition to working towards sustainability, the co-op also teach-es its members to cook on a budget.

Cooking for 20 hungry college students on a $70 budget can be difficult, but both Kline and Liver-more say that the meals are local, delicious, and inexpensive.

Many students—especially first years—don’t have access to a kitchen and the co-op allows them to cook together and eat a meal around a table with friends. Kline says the Bowdoin Food Co-Op feels like a home.

Kline knew that he wanted to join the co-op before arriving at school as a first year last fall, and said that of all the clubs he joined “the food co-op was one that really

The examined life: A night with the Peucinian SocietyBY MAGGIE BRYAN

STAFF WRITER

“Work hard, play hard” was the topic up for debate at last week’s Peucinian Society meeting.

Members went head to head over whether the mantra promotes a balanced lifestyle, or a clash of extremes that cheapens both work and play.

The club’s weekly Thursday night meetings begin with a poem and introduction. The “disputa-tions”—as the Peucinians refert to their debates—begin with orations by representatives of two oppos-ing sides, who then field questions from other members before begin-ning the debate.

Then there are ten-minute “peribatos,” during which mem-bers pair up and stroll around outside discussing the issues in a less restricted environment before reconvening for final remarks and voting.

At last Thursday’s meeting, however, members embraced a few notable breaks with tradition. They began with a less formal round table discussion in lieu of orations, and members eschewed formal dress for a thematically-ap-propriate potpourri of attire rang-ing from cropped lacrosse pinnies paired with whimsical neckties to formal jackets and fedoras.

Discussion quickly turned to the question of how “work hard/play hard” functions in the context of Bowdoin. Provost Nate Houran ’13 says that this is a common trend.

“[We] try to keep it contextual-ized around our lives,” said Ho-

uran. “It’s to personalize things, to try to keep them from getting too abstract. [Peucinian is] also the place where we try to take what we’re reading about in our classes and thinking about in the rest of our lives.”

“The first disputation that we did this year was about the quote, ‘In-formed voting is sufficient to being a good citizen,’” said Master of Ses-

sions Caitlin O’Keefe ’13. who said she was able to ground her argu-ment in material from her political theory and English classes.

Founded in 1805, the Peucin-ian Society is the College’s oldest student organization. Despite this rich history, though, the society has not had particularly extesive membership rates in recent years.

When asked about their percep-

tion of the Peucinian Society, stu-dents offered myriad responses, ranging from “I have no idea what that is,” to “I think someone in my dorm tried out for it last year—isn’t that where they wear suits and de-bate stuff in the basement of Sills?”

To clarify: meetings are all-in-clusive and held in the Massachu-setts Hall faculty room. Students cited the club’s formal dress and

perceived exclusivity as possible reasons for the conception of the society as pretentious.

“I think [the Peucinian Society] is the effort to live the examined life,” said O’Keefe in response to questions about the club’s reputa-ion. “It’s the effort to meet inter-esting people and talk about things that we often take for granted or have overlooked about how we’ve lived our lives.”

For Peucinians, their society is not about pomp and circumstance but the willingness to look beyond the surface of things.

“Sometimes I feel like there’s an aversion to demonstrating that you’re engaged with something,” said O’Keefe. “We all go to Bowdoin and we all have particular things that we love to geek out about, and I think sometimes people are re-luctant to acknowledge that, and I wish that would change.”

Leaders are optimistic that in-terest in the club is growing.

“I think attendance this year and the diversity of attendance is showing that we’re making some inroads,” said President Judah Is-seroff ’13. He also noted that the club still stuggles with its image.

“There’s a lot of making up that we have to do for anecdotes that have been passed down at Bowdoin that Peucinian is a bunch of pre-tentious, snobby, sniveling, book-obsessed people,” said Isseroff.

As far as the society’s deci-sion on “work hard, play hard” as promoting a balanced lifestyle, it voted in the negative. According to the Peucinians, moderation is key.

Frosh’s fi rst midterms: A basic survival guide

Time passes di4 erently for 5 rst years here at Bowdoin. We feel like we just got on campus, and yet we also feel like we’ve been here forever. I, for one, can’t believe we are halfway through 5 rst semester. I thought we would all be ecstatic at this point, thrilled that we have made it this far without any major mishaps. My parents, for example, are shocked that I am not the socially awk-ward anomaly they thought I would be. However, the halfway point also brings midterms and, needless to say, a lot of us are freaking out.

You would think that we would have a little more self-confidence. We aced our SATs, we managed to get into this place, and aren’t we all the special and unique little snowflakes that the school prom-ised us we were? Yet, as I walk the campus I hear disturbing cries ranging from “I have no idea what is going on in my bio class” to “It’s 25 percent of my grade!” to the simple “I am screwed.”

Yes, I’m sad to report that many first years doubt their abilities, and, though some of us are fine and dandy, too many people are starting to question their place at Bowdoin. A lot of us were used to being at the top of our class in high school so it’s natural that many find it strange to be in an environ-ment where everyone is working hard and where receiving a high mark actually takes work.

It’s di6 cult for the big 5 sh in the small pond to move to the ocean (or maybe in our case, a classier small pond with more big 5 sh). When the former “straight-A student” stares at that B- they got on their last seminar paper in disbelief, it’s as if they can’t understand what’s hap-pening. In fact, the stages of receiving one’s 5 rst B- or C are extremely similar to the Kübler-Ross model, otherwise known as the 5 ve stages of grief.

Stage 1: Denial. I’ve noticed when a 5 rst year gets back her 5 rst paper, she tends to refute it entirely. “Clear-ly, the professor has made a mistake” she says. “ I will just go talk to them about it and we can clear this whole thing up.” Reality has no place in this stage and such a student is prone to reject facts around them. She may end up saying something else crazy like, “Glee is a great show,” for example.

Stage 2: Anger. After realizing that no mistake was made, this

person becomes extremely angry. If you have a friend in this stage you might hear something along the lines of, “My professor is so annoying. This grade isn’t even fair. He wasn’t clear about the as-signment!” Try to stay away from people when they reach this phase. Anger spreads like the flu and you don’t want it ruining your day.

Stage 3: Bargaining. In this stage a person might utter something along the lines of, “I would never go to Super Snack again if my professor would just raise this a letter.” At this point one is under the delusion that if he does a good deed, karma will miraculously raise his grade. Now is time to 7 ock back to these friends and take advantage of them. Ask them for free stu4 and any favors you may have.

Stage 4: Depression. Soon a8 er bargaining students fall under a deep depression. 9 ey will make bold statements such as, “I’m an idiot” or “No one understands any-thing I do.” 9 ese people may even stop showering, so if your room-mate’s in this stage, invest in some Febreze. Overall, I would recom-mend letting the depressed person be for a while. A8 er some serious self-re7 ecting, they’ll be okay. We must remember that this stage is only natural.

Stage 5: Acceptance. Eventually, students will come to terms with their grades. At this point many move on with their lives and the cri-sis will be averted. Feel free to break out the party hats and rejoice.

Unfortunately, too few of us have gotten to that celebration point. Some are still in denial, several are angry, not enough are bargaining, and a strange number is listening to emo music. As a result, a lot of 5 rst years are going into midterms feel-ing unsure about their abilities. So, if you’re a 5 rst year and you feel this way, here are some tips:

For one thing, calm down. Re-member it’s just a grade, and one should not be going through the 5 ve stages of grief over something so trivial. For another, Bowdoin wasn’t wrong. We are all awesome little snow7 akes. We’re supposed to be here, it just takes time to 5 nd one’s footing. And lastly, calm down. Sometimes you end up learning much bigger and more important lessons from a lower grade anyway.

Stage 5 is inevitable, so might as well hurry up and get there. 9 at way tackling those pesky midterms, whether they are ahead or behind you, will be no problem.

Today, we begin a style column. If you are hoping for advice on creating a more stylish and fashionable you, here are my three cardinal rules:

1. Find a style that works for you and stick to it. Make this look an ex-tension of yourself. Maybe, if you lack imagination, are from New York, or are Johnny Cash, you only wear black. Perhaps you are never seen without a barrage of metallic sequins hanging o4 your body. Or maybe you always rock a psychedelic hat or a big swanky ascot. Whatever. 9 e possibilities are endless.

2. Never become a slave to trends. Yes, trends can be wonderful if they work with your look and you make them your own. But more o8 en than not, they are dreadful. Iris Apfel, style darling, once said, “A trend can be a wonderful thing if it works for you. But if it doesn’t, it’s useless, and you can look freaky.” I agree. Von Dutch caps, anyone? Remember Ed Hardy? Need I say more?

3. 9 ere are no rules. Style is about making clothes work for you. Do what-ever you want. Wear white in Novem-ber and 7 orals in January. Mix stripes and plaids. Wear Gucci with Goodwill. Just be yourself. But remember that no one’s true self involves sweat suits.

9 ese are all of my rules. If you would like more advice on how to dress yourself, perhaps you should ask your mother why you have not yet mastered this skill. So then, you ask, if I’m not go-ing to tell you to wear chunky bangles or tweedy accent pieces this November, what will I write about in this column?

Before I answer, allow me to expand on what I won’t be talking about. I won’t be writing about the fashion hap-penings and hot looks on the runways of New York and London and Paris and Milan. If you’ve been paying any sort of attention, you know that I think obsessing over trends is tasteless. Ad-ditionally, we are not in New York or London or Paris or Milan. We are in Brunswick, Maine, shrouded by pine

trees. Diane Von Furstenberg is, at best, 348 miles away, assuming she never leaves her penthouse in lower Manhat-tan—(you wouldn’t either if you had that swanky pad). It makes little sense for me to write about Emma Watson’s latest graceful nip-slip because I wasn’t

umn. And, though I have my misgiv-ings, we will be looking at trends. We’ll talk about whom they might work for, and how to avoid looking freaky, unless that’s what you’re going for. Let’s start with a trend that I think, to paraphrase Ms. Apfel, is freaky for everyone, and all together useless.

It 5 rst crawled onto campus at the start of the year, like that tireless stom-ach virus or STD we refuse to keep to ourselves. And, just when I think we’ve beaten it, that the cold weather has killed it, it appears once more (or twice or three times—this fad seems to travel in packs). Yes, I am talking about the recent vogue for bare feet. Whether this shunning of shoes, both outdoors and in, was taken from Ital-ian grape stompers, dirty hippies at Woodstock, or some trendsetting tod-dler in its BabyBjorn, it is deeply dis-turbing on college students. Not only is this trend useless but it’s also might-ily unsanitary and risky, especially as cold weather sets it. I can appreciate a good free-footed romp at the beach,

Campaigning & Classes:Lantz ’15 and Question 1

November 6 holds the promise of significant change for Maine, and Jordan Lantz ’15 is working to make sure his elections hopes are realized.

Along with three other Bowdoin students—Teresa Withee ’15, Jack Wostrel ’15 and Wrandi London ’15—Lantz is working with Main-ers United for Marriage, a group currently campaigning in favor of Question 1, a ballot initiative that would permit marriages between same sex couples. Bowdoin interns work to raise awareness about this important piece of legislation on campus.

Lantz says he speaks with di4 er-ent student groups and organiza-tions at the College, encouraging group members to volunteer with the campaign and reminding them to vote.

“Our goal is to have 800 stu-dents at Bowdoin register to vote in Maine,” said Lantz. “It’s a lofty goal, but it’s something I think we can do. We’re not asking people if they support the issue—we just want to make sure people have a voice.”

Lantz reports to the organiza-tion’s branch in Portland, though the majority of his intern respon-sibilities are here on campus. A few weeks ago, he had a chance to meet other campaign volunteers at a regional gathering, where both field workers and office work-ers shared why they believed it was important to get Question 1 passed.

“The meet-ing helped me c o n t e x t u a l i z e that there’s a world out there that will benefit from what I as a Bowdoin student can do right now, even from cam-pus,” Lantz said. “I think here at Bowdoin we can become compla-cent because we have many privi-leges, so it was humbling to realize how big of an issue Question 1 re-ally is.”

Lantz has been passionate about politics since high school and plans to major in government and legal studies at Bowdoin.

He first found out about Main-ers United for Marriage through a friend who works for Equality Maine. After doing some volunteer work for the campaign, the organi-zation offered him an unpaid in-ternship during the semester.

“I think this campaign is very historic for Maine, and I wanted to be a part of it in some way, shape or form,” said Lantz. “I didn’t ex-pect this kind of leadership role on campus, but I’m very excited to continue it.”

With a heavy course load and a demanding schedule for crew practice, Lantz was initially hesi-tant about taking on the extra 10 hours of commitment per week.

“I asked myself, Would my schedule be able to handle it? Would my academics suffer? Would my involvement on the

crew team suffer? Ultimately, I de-cided this was something I really wanted to do,” said Lantz.

Lantz unabashedly admits that he was first drawn to the idea of an internship because he saw it as a great addition to his resume.

“It’s definitely a nice little re-sume builder, but I think the big-gest reason I chose this internship specifically, and not just anything, is because this issue is very impor-tant to me,” he said.

Lantz has been able to dig deep-er into his interest in campaign-ing through both his courses in

the goverment and legal stud-ies department and the intern-ship. As some-one who is vocal and pas-sionate about his political views, Lantz describes the

internship as a perfect fit.“I’ve always been a very opin-

ionated person and never shied away from that. It gives me a great chance to express my views and try to understand other people’s views,” said Lantz.

“Sometimes we call people and have to understand they might come from very different back-grounds with different reasons why they don’t want to support this or volunteer and we have to under-stand that.”

The internship has not only ex-posed Lantz to a multitude of per-spectives, but it has also helped him with time management. “I have really learned how to bud-get my time correctly. Now when I have an hour to spare, my mind immediately goes to either home-work or the campaign.”

When asked what the downsides of his internship were, Lantz drew a blank. Instead, he offered enthu-siastic encouragement to pursue an in-semester internship.

“You can never place credit or an amount of money in gaining this kind of experience,” he said. “Get-ting off campus and understand-ing there’s a community and world outside of Bowdoin has enriched my view of this area, my college ex-perience, and my life living here.”

but the only other places I can con-done exposed toes is in bed and in the shower (though unless you enjoy staph infections, I don’t recommend this in your dorm).

And besides, shoes are so much fun. Shoes, like all apparel, express who you are and who you want to be. 5 e only thing your bare feet can express is fun-gus, hammertoes, and the infrequency with which you bathe. Shoes are so lovely: from Birkenstocks to Blahniks, Timberlands to Louboutins, shoes al-low you to announce your true self like almost no other single piece of cloth-ing. Are you practical in your Keen clogs or, um, optimistic in your J. Crew wedges (attempting the stairs to Crack basement)? Are you smart or sexy? Grounded or 6 ighty? You can be any of these and so much more with just a

Following their explosive intro-duction to the music scene in 2010, Mumford & Sons released their new-est album on September 26. Titled “Babel,” this album de2 ly broadens the banjo-driven alt-folk sound that captivated listeners in their 3 rst LP, “Sigh No More.”

4 e starkest di5 erence with the new album’s sound is the experi-

mentation with di5 erent types of instrumentation. In many of the new tracks, Mumford & Sons move beyond simple acoustic guitars and banjos, bringing in full drum kits in “Lover of the Light,” for instance, and a complete horn section in “I Will Wait.” 4 is instrumental exper-imentation results in a unique twist on their distinct sound.

Becky Rosen ’13, Zara Bowden ’13 and James Boeding ’14 present-ed their summer work yesterday evening at the Visual Arts Depart-ment’s annual showcase of summer grant recipients.

Rosen’s show, titled “Beyond V4: Exploring Identity and Recogni-tion,” explored prosopagnosia, or “face blindness.” 4 ose a6 icted can-not recognize individuals by their faces and must rely on other attri-butes such as hands, hair and gait to distinguish those around them. Rosen recieved the Kaempfer Fund Summer Art Grant.

Rosen, citing Martin Schoeller as an influence for portraiture, began by editing out the faces off of her subjects with a multitude of processes.

“This time I was more interested in how people with prosopagnosia would see,” said Rosen, explaining her process.

She then began to explore how the body can express things that the face cannot, by taking out-of-focus pictures of dancers reacting to a word.

“My pieces reflected the idea of what happens to the viewer-sub-ject relationship when the subject can’t really interact with the sub-ject,” said Rosen.

The title of her show comes from the part of the brain that per-ceives color, the V4, and the idea that much more is involved in rec-ognizing a person.

Bowden and Boeding both re-

cieved the McKee Summer Pho-tography Grant. Bowden’s show, “Street Art: A Transformative Recon-struction of Tagged Space,” contem-plates the relationship between art and vandalism.

She cited her influences as Banksy and Invader, well-known street artists who have both been arrested and shown their work in well-known galleries.

“Why don’t people think it’s art when they see it every day?” Bowden said. “Is it the context what makes something art? Is it content? Is it intent?”

Bowden explored and mimicked the transformative power of street art in her hometown of Fort Worth and nearby Austin, Texas. She de-scribed street art as a way of re-claiming common societal spaces, creating dual ownership and an interactive dialogue.

“Street art inevitably changes the way we approach spaces,” Bowden said.

Bowden’s exhibit includes pho-tographs dry mounted, without frames or matting. Bowden says she wanted the shapes of the street art in the photographs to interact with the space and become a part of the walls.

Boeding’s show, “The Weekend-er; New York City to Millerton,” catalogued the experience of com-muting between city and country.

A native of Millerton, N.Y., Boeding spent the summer working in New York City, and the experi-ence inspired his exhibit. Boeding took photographs of his surround-ings at 15 minute intervals.

Upon reviewing the pictures from

his 3 ve-week project, Boeding said he found many recurring events and serendipitous moments in the images. He ended up with series of people reading on the subway, and portraits through a subway window. In addition, he found many pho-tographs that showed parallels be-tween the city and the country.

Boeding’s exhibit will feature both photographs and a digital monitor. Boeding says he will size the prints to indicate their impor-tance to him. The digital monitor will have every picture Boeding

took this summer running contin-uously, and will feature three dials: one to control speed, one for the number of pictures displayed on the screen, and one for the number of pixels in the photograph.

The McKee Grant, funded by the McKee Fund for Photography, was established in 2003 to enhance the photography program within the Visual Arts Department. The grant is given to support a summer photography project.

The Kaempfer Summer Art Grant, provided through the

Photo grant recipients celebrated in showcase

Kaempfer Fund, also gives finan-cial assistance for students to pur-sue summer projects.

Both grants are intended to en-courage the winners to work in-dependently, with the advice of a faculty member for their long-term project without a classroom setting.

There is no such thing as a flawless film, but “The Mas-

ter” is one of those rare films that does present

the peak of the craft.

BY ERIN FITZPATRICKSTAFF WRITER

Director Paul Thomas Anderson released “There Will Be Blood” in 2007, proving himself capable of exploring the seemingly-opaque corners of the human mind to pro-duce provacative and intriguing films. His most recent film, “The Master,” exceeds even that effort; the film is a wonderfully crafted and highly intelligent window into the tormented mind of an estranged veteran--the essence of cult.

Joaquin Phoenix delivers a shat-tering performance as Freddi Quell, a haunted victim of war who wan-ders through life in an alcohol-and-

sex-crazed haze. When he stumbles into Lancaster Dodd (Phillip Sey-mour Ho3 man) leader of a cultish philosophical movement called “the cause,” Quell becomes a fervent be-liever. While Dodd’s philosophical underpinnings and methodology

‘Master’ triumphs in art and depth

are evocative of Scientology, the 4 lm functions more as a general critique of misguided worship than an ex-plicit condemnation of Scientology.

Ironically, “the cause” acts as the most stabilizing and therapeutic force in Quell’s life. He tags along with the rest of the devout as they navigate extremes of public skep-ticism and blind faith, bringing to the fray his unabashed propensity for brutal outbursts. And though Dodd clearly revels in egomaniacal validation, it also becomes clear he takes an unusual interest in hu-manizing Quell and freeing him from inner demons.

Anderson seems to ask if it is possible to appreciate the benefits that tightly knit, disciplined com-munity extends to followers? The viewer will wrestle with this ques-tion for the entirety of the film.

“The Master’s” success is rooted in the excellent performances of Phoenix and Hoffman, and there is little in the film more gripping than the intense close-ups of both actors in their scenes together. Joaquin Phoenix wears his char-acter on his face, snarling from the left corner of his mouth as he masterfully embodies an individ-ual whose internal struggles often erupt in devastating tantrums.

COURTESY THE WEINSTEIN COMPANYTHE CAUSE: Su! ering from post-traumatic stress disorder, Freddi Quell (Joachim Phoenix) navigates a confusing, hazy world.

Bowdoin Music Collective’s first coffeehouse performance last Thursday showcased an array of student talent, presenting original songs, cover pieces and improvised jam sessions.

The performance was held in Jack MacGee’s Pub and included many established members of Bowdoin’s music scene, featuring acts by Veronica Verdin ’15, Cait-lin Greenwood ’15, Marc Seligson ’12, Rami Stucky ’14, Michaela Martin ’14, and Matt Willian ’15.

According to BMC President David Raskin, first-time perform-ers were encouraged by the inti-mate, low-pressure mood of the coffeehouse event, making it an ideal first show for the BMC.

The intimacy of the Coffeehouse speaks to the inclusice nature of Bowdoin’s music scene.

“I like to think of the music scene as having a cozy feeling – that is, if you are really into it and want to make a band or perform, you can.,” said Veronica Ver-din ’15, a singer and songwriter. “Right now there aren’t too many students acts floating around, but we know the musicians are out there! Hiding in the cracks! It’s all about making people comfortable enough to come out and show us how awesome they are.”

The Coffeehouse is a BMC sta-ple, but programming varies from year to year in accordance with student interest and the assort-ment of musicians and groups on campus in a given year.

“As the year goes on, and bands form and establish themselves more seriously, the programming begins to diversify. 5 e end of fall semester and the spring semester begin to see events that are more like traditional concerts, focusing on one or two main acts,” said Raskin.

BMC kicks off year withlive student performances

In addition to the Coffeehouse series, the BMC provides a vari-ety of opportunities for perform-ers throughout the year, including a band showcase, charity events centered around student perfor-mances, and the annual Quadzilla festival, which features live music and interactive art projects on the Brunswick Quad. Solo artists can play acoustic performances ev-ery Sunday night behind the Café as part of the BMC’s weekly Un-plugged series.

The BMC also holds frequent open improvisatory jam sessions all over campus, which allows mu-sicians to play with other students even if they are not interested in formal performance.

“This year [the jams] have been held in the Student Union practice spaces and on the Art Museum steps, but previous years have seen them emerge everywhere from the lobby in Pickard Theatre to Thorne Hall during Super Snacks,” said Raskin.

The BMC was started in 2008 by alumni Nyle Usami ’12 and Mikel McCavana ’12 in response to what they saw as a disappointing music scene at Bowdoin. The problems, they decided, stemmed from a lack of resources to connect enthusias-tic musicians and a lack of means to organize gigs for students who wished to perform.

In the four years since its incep-tion, the BMC has attempted to address these issues by connecting student musicians to an audience and facilitating band-formation and networking through their ex-tensive email list.

“Really, our goal is to promote a vibrant and participatory music scene that is as enjoyable and ben-eficial to the performer as it is to the audience,” said Raskin.

Interested students can attend the BMC’s open meetings every Monday at 8 p.m. in Smith Union.

Quell is governed only by emotion and becomes a perfect vessel for Dodd’s philosophy. Though Dodd manipulates Quell to perpetuate “the cause,” he does so with endless fatherly patience and compassion, which acts as a strangely-effective therapy for Quell’s tortured soul. The relationship between these men is a disparate mix of doubt, fear, hallucination, hope, and be-trayal that explores the limits of love, friendship and insanity.

Clocking in at two hours and 30 minutes, the film is frankly too long. But admitting that somehow seems to miss the point, for the viewer is never bored. In looking for criticism, I find myself forced to concentrate on nit-picky details: the acting chops of those playing the three main characters, Amy Adams included, eclipse more mi-nor performances, for example, but this hardly seems important.

There is no such thing as a flaw-less film, but “The Master” is one of those rare films that does present the peak of the craft. Artistically, the film is as close to flawless as any I have seen. Its value as simple en-tertainment is far more debatable: never does it seek to simply amuse or lower its quality for easier enjoy-ment, instead demanding thought-ful engagement.

With “5 e Master,” Anderson gives us a wonder to gawk at and immerse ourselves fully in, not to mindlessly absorb like a Michael Bay 4 lm.

Although the 4 lm speaks so clear-ly for itself, I feel obliged to address any claims that it is boring or vague, precisely because this is such a va-pid and premature evaluation. “5 e Master” delivers excellence on near-ly every front, and is thus not easily understood. It may feel exclusive or overdone, but only because the ma-terial is challenging and copmplex. I honestly have not seen something so well made in years. Consider me, and many others, a convert to the cult of P.T. Anderson.

Outscoring opponents 26-1, the 2 eld hockey team extended their winning streak in the wake of their September 22 loss to Middlebury, ceding only one goal to opponents in the 2 ve games since that 2-1 defeat.

A3 er defeating out of conference opponent University of Maine-Farmington in a 7-0 blowout, the Polar Bears hosted Connecticut Col-lege for a NESCAC match-up on September 29.

Bowdoin scored early and inces-santly. Less than four minutes into the 2 rst half, Brooke Phinney ’13 scored on a corner from Katie Riley ’14. Coach Nicky Pearson said this early goal on the Camel’s 2 rst-year goalkeeper “set the tone” and gave the Polar Bears momentum.

Bowdoin went on to score three more in the 2 rst half, thanks to Ra-chel Kennedy ’16, Emily Simonton ’15, and Lauren Schroeder ’14.

Pearson said her team owed its dominant play to their constant ball movement and execution of a spe-ci2 c game plan.

The women’s soccer team has continued its impressive season in the past few weeks, only losing once in the past five games.

On September 29, the Polar Bears bested Connecticut College in a 3-2 victory. Captain Molly Popolizio ’14 scored two of Bow-doin’s three goals, including the game-winning goal. Following this game, the Polar Bears improved to 6-1-0 overall (3-1-0 NESCAC).

The Polar Bears next took on the University of Maine-Farming-ton in a non-conference game at Bowdoin, besting the Beavers 5-0. Four Bowdoin players scored in that game, with Kiersten Turner ’16 netting two and Amanda Kin-neston ’15, Audrey Phillips ’16 and Casey Blossom ’13 each scoring one. The Polar Bears improved to an impressive 7-1-0 overall, their best record since 2002. The team then headed into a busy weekend, with games against rivals Colby and Williams.

In Waterville, the team brought home a 2-0 victory. Morgan Wood-house ’14 broke the scoreless dead-lock in the last ten minutes of the game, pulling Bowdoin into the lead. In the last few minutes of the

match, Alexa Yurick ‘15 was able to score an insurance goal for the Polar Bears, improving Bowdoin’s record to 8-1 overall and 4-1 in the conference.

According to Woodhouse, the wins the team has secured thus far have been mainly due to the posi-tive and focused mentality of the team this season.

“Every practice we are ex-tremely motivated and want to work the hardest we can,” she said. “Having a new coach is both exciting and challenging, but I think she is always pushing us and making sure we are compet-ing the best that we can.”

Despite the team’s many im-provements from last season, they were unable to come out on top in the next day’s conference match against Williams.

On Sunday, Williams ended Bowdoin’s unbeaten streak, and dealing the Polar Bears their first home loss of the season in a tense 1-0 match. The game caused Bowdoin to fall to 8-2-0 (4-2-0 NESCAC), and dropped them to fifth place in the NESCAC. Ac-cording to Head Coach Brianne Weaver, the team knew going into the game that it would be a close match and a good challenge.

“Williams has a very strong program, and they perennially do very well,” said Weaver.

Despite the loss, however, Weaver is optimistic about what the team has learned from the close contest.

“We figured out a few things to improve for the future. [Since the game] we’ve really been working on our team defensive strategy and changing our runs off the ball,” she stated.

The team will play two away-games this coming weekend, against Hamilton on Saturday and Amherst on Sunday.

5 e football team recorded its 2 rst victory of the season with a 17-10 tri-umph over Tu3 s on Saturday. For the 2 rst time this season, the Polar Bears led the entire game and had a longer possession than their opponents.

5 e Polar Bears le3 Whittier Field with a win over the Jumbos due in large part to running back Zach Donna-rumma ’14, who rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns. On defense, ju-nior linebacker Gri6 n Cardew shined with 14 tackles. Senior captain and de-fensive back Beau Breton had yet an-other solid game, snagging Bowdoin’s 2 rst interception this year.

Bowdoin sits in sixth place in the NESCAC with a 1-2 record. Un2 n-ished drives and untimely missed tackles were common themes in the team’s two losses this year.

“[Amherst] had 155 yards of o4 ense on missed tackles. 5 ere were simple execution assignments for Tommy [Romero ’14] and other guys that we didn’t do,” Head Coach Dave Caputi said in reference to the home-opener loss against the Lord Je4 s. “We just had to 2 nish plays.”

Against the Jumbos, however, the Polar Bears responded to Caputi’s call to action. 5 e o4 ense capped o4 drives with scores while the defense provided lockdown support.

In the beginning of the second

quarter, quarterback Romero led the team down2 eld to the Tu3 s 21-yard line. On third down and two, Donna-rumma rushed for the 2 nal 21 yards to score the 2 rst touchdown of the game. Although this was the junior running back’s 2 rst game back this season, his presence was felt the entire game.

Starting running back Greg Pierce ’14 also managed to rack up 73 yards of his own on 17 attempts. Having both Donnarumma and Pierce in the back2 eld reduced the amount of pressure piled on backup quarterback Romero and the rest of the o4 ense.

It was the defense that came up with a game-changing stop.

Football pulls off tough fi rst win against Tufts

Romero opened the third quarter with an interception at the Bowdoin 44 that was returned for ten yards. An o4 side penalty then gave the Jumbos the luxury of a 2 rst and 2 ve at the Bowdoin 29 yard line. 5 e Polar Bear defense stood 2 rm, only allowing the Tu3 s o4 ense to pick up three yards on three attempts and stu6 ng them for no gain on fourth and two.

Although di6 cult for the team to celebrate defeating Tu3 s, who have not recorded a victory since 2010, the Polar Bears are still feeling optimistic about their play.

Men’s soccer to face Amherst over weekend

Of the last four games for the men’s soccer team, two have end-ed in double overtime. A game against Connecticut College before fall break ended in a tie due to ex-ceptional play from both goalkeep-ers. Will Wise ’14 provided six saves for Bowdoin.

Last Sunday, Bowdoin hosted Williams, another tough NESCAC team. The Polar Bears found the back of the net early when first year Andrew Jones found Zach Dans-

saert ’14 after a defensive miscue from the Ephs. Williams answered and then took the lead at the be-ginning of the second half before Andrew Gray ’15 put a header away to tie the game up near the end of regulation. Bowdoin controlled the play for most of the first two overtime periods and produced a few quality opportunities, but a lucky Williams forward was able to find the back of the net off a chest-shot to end the game.

“[Williams] was our most com-plete performance, but the luck didn’t really go our way,” said se-nior captain Michael Gale.

“We played well in both the games and in both games we out-shot the opponents,” said Head Coach Fran O’Leary. “Its a little unfortunate that we didn’t get more out of the game, but it was two good

performances for our lads and if we can make those performances go-ing forward we should be fine for the rest of season.”

Bowdoin won both of its other games. The team handily defeated St. Joseph’s 4-0 with two goals each from Danssaert and Sam White ’15.

The Polar Bears traveled to Col-by last Saturday and quickly took the lead off of a well-scored goal by Eddie Jones ’13. The only other goal in the game came from a suc-cessful penalty kick by Eric Goitia ’15 that secured the 2-0 victory.

“I think Colby was a big bounce-back game for us,” said Gale. “Be-cause teams are so tough in the NE-SCAC you need to play your best for 90 minutes to get the result that you want.”

“We got the rub of the green against Colby,” said O’Leary. “Ed-die Jones scored a tremendous goal to send us on the way for a win and it’s always a difficult place to get a win.”

The men’s soccer team will travel this weekend to play Hamilton and Amherst Colleges in a piv-otal weekend of conference play. Bowdoin faces Hamilton first on Saturday afternoon. Hamilton (3-6-1 overall, 1-5-1 NESCAC) has struggled in conference play, most recently in a loss against Middle-bury. The Polar Bears will then have their shot at the nationally second-ranked Amherst Lord Jeffs in what should be an exciting game on Sunday.

“It’s a very difficult road trip, we’ll cover a lot of miles over a cou-ple of days and we’ll play a couple of good teams,” said O’Leary. “Our focus has been to get into the NE-SCAC tournament and one more win will put us on 13 points and that should suffice.”

The Polar Bears have been play-ing well and both the Continentals and the Lord Jeffs should prove to be good match ups as the teams start to look towards the post sea-son in November.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEKZach Donnarumma ’14

BY SAM CHASESTAFF WRITER

A4 er an 0-2 start against peren-nial NESCAC powers Middlebury and Amherst, the football team was in need of a serious spark to get their 5 rst win.

Junior running back Zach Don-narumma was able to provide just that last Saturday.

In his 5 rst game back from a bout with mononucleosis, the New Jersey native rushed for 137 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries on Saturday to lead the Polar Bears to a 17-10 home victory over Tu4 s.

“Due to school protocol, once you’re diagnosed with mono you have to sit out for three weeks be-fore being reevaluated. 6 is week they said I was good to go,” said Donnarumma. “It was fun being out on the practice 5 eld and the game 5 eld with everyone again.”

6 e speedy Greg Pierce ’13 had been handling the bulk of the car-ries for the Polar Bears a4 er con-verting from playing defensive back in the preseason. Pierce has played well, including a 76 yard, one touchdown performance against the stingy front-seven of the Amherst Lord Je7 s.

When Pierce le4 the game in need of stitches in Saturday’s sec-ond quarter, Donnarumma found the o7 ense placed squarely on his shoulders.

“I told him ‘alright, Zach. You’ve been out for a month. We want to get you going early but we’re not going run you into the ground, so look for 10-15 carries.’ Funny how

it works out, he ended up with 32 carries. He can do it, he’s done it in the past,” said Kyle Duncan ’12, the team running backs coach.

Donnarumma led the Polar Bears in rushing yards and touch-downs in both his freshman and sophomore campaigns, and is a likely candidate to repeat this feat this year as well.

“6 is wasn’t his 5 rst rodeo. He’s played a lot of football for us. So having him come back as a veteran guy who understands our o7 ense, understands how and when block-ing schemes develop is important,” said Head Coach Dave Caputi.

“Zach coming back is a big boost for us. He’s a north-south physical back, a real hard-running guy who we’re comfortable with. We’ll run power a few more times when we have Zach in,” added Duncan.

Donnarumma agrees, not-ing that he and Pierce will form a formidable two-back attack when they both are on the 5 eld full time.

“I’m not a shi4 y back. I have a little bit of speed but I’m a down-hill, power runner. Greg is faster and he moves side to side very well. He’ll make you miss. I’ll just go through you. It’s a good contrast of style,” he said.

Donnarumma says he has high hopes for the rest of the season.

“I hope we don’t lose another game for the rest of the year. Is it realistic? I think it’s realistic. In the NESCAC any team can beat any team. Personally I can’t ask for anything more than to stay healthy and to get some carries, and hope-fully some yards and TDs.”

“Zach coming back is a big boost for us. He’s a north-south physical back, a real

hard-running guy who we’re comfortable with.”

Volleyball drops home and NESCAC win streak

6 e women’s volleyball team won an impressive four matches last week, pick-ing up three conference victories and making a strong rebound from the Sep-tember 29 loss to Connecticut College. 6 e winning streak brought Bowdoin back in the national rankings to the 25th slot and le4 the team’s record at 6-1 NE-SCAC, 16-2 overall.

6 e four wins come at an important time for Bowdoin, putting the team back on the right track a4 er its 3-0 loss to Conn. College two weeks ago. 6 e defeat broke a 40-match home court winning streak that extended back to 2007 and marked the 5 rst time the Polar Bears had lost to a NESCAC team since 2010.

in control the entire match, easily taking the victory with set scores of 25-13, 25-12, 25-22.

Melissa Haskell ’13 led Bowdoin’s of-fensive e7 ort with nine kills and two ser-vice aces, while Ellie Brennan ’14 picked up seven kills. Setter Sophia Cornew ’14 made an important contribution with 30 overall assists.

6 e team then traveled on to Lewis-ton, where it decisively defeated Bates 3-0, with set scores of 25-20, 25-12 and 25-19.

Tory Edelman ’13 had nine kills against the Bobcats while Cornew racked up six kills and 23 assists.

Later that day, Bowdoin returned to Brunswick to win a dramatic and 5 ercely fought 3-2 match against Tu4 s. Bowdoin began strongly, picking up the 5 rst two sets 25-18, 25-18, but faltered in the third and struggled to clinch the victory. 6 ey lost the next two sets 20-25 and 19-25. Everything then rested on the climatic 5 4 h set, where the team was able to eke out a close 15-13 win to take the match.

Haskell again led the team with 12 kills while Christy Jewett ’16, Brennan and Edelman all earned 10 kills each. Cornew had 46 assists while libero Tay-lor Vail ’14 had 14 digs in the win.

In recognition of her exemplary per-formance in the weekend’s three confer-ence wins, Cornew was recognized as NESCAC Player of the Week. 6 is is the

Jewett led the team o7 ensively with seven kills while Luisa LaSalle ’14 and Hailey Wahl ’16 had six kills each.

“We are all really happy to have won all three of our conference matches,” said Haskell, re8 ecting on the team’s weekend successes. “NESCAC matches are the most important matches that we play all year because they determine the seeding and host of the 5 nal conference [tournament]. We loved hosting last year, and hopefully we will win the rest of our NESCAC matches this season so we can host again this year.”

6 e team returns to the action this weekend with four matches at home Morrell Gymnasium. 6 e games kick o7 tonight at 5 p.m. against Colby-Sawyer before the Polar Bears go on to take on the Coast Guard Academy at 7 p.m. On Saturday, the team be-gins with a NESCAC match against Hamilton at 11 a.m. and will close out the weekend with a match against Wellesley at 2 p.m.

“I don’t want to say satis5 ed, but I am excited by the improvement we have shown each week,” said defensive coordinator John Burrell.

Bowdoin will face Hamilton Satur-day, and though the team has not had a victory this season, the Polar Bears understand the importance in coming away with another win.

“Record-wise, it’s huge to be back at .500,” Cardrew said, highlighting the importance of this game. “I know ev-

eryone on the defense is going to take this game personally because Coach Cohen [the Hamilton head coach] was our defensive coordinator last year.”

While the defensive unit has extra motivation in the back of their minds to impress their former boss, quar-terback Romero is simply focused on getting a victory—regardless if the de-fense, rushing attack, or his own pass-ing ability is the headline on Sunday

“Obviously I play quarterback and love to throw the ball,” Romero said. “I love winning more...it’s better than anything that can come from personal stats.”

The muddy field made it difficult for either team to advance the ball past the middle of the field. At the fifteen minute mark, Bowdoin was able to take advantage of a Tufts miscue. Emily Athanas-Linden ’15 ran down the left side, fended off a Tufts defender and sprinted in for the first points of the match.

The back and forth possession continued until captain Kerry Townsend ’13 caught a Tufts kick. Spying holes in the defense, she

quickly took off and was able to score Bowdoin’s second try.

Tufts regrouped and, after kick-ing off to restart play, advanced into Bowdoin’s defensive zone all the way to the five meter mark. Tufts broke through eventually and scored their first try, the first that Bowdoin has allowed all season.

With three minutes left in the half, Athanas-Linden kicked the ball downfield to the goalposts while teammates Helen White ’13 and captain Uche Esonu ’13 chased after it.

The Tufts fullback tried to get rid of the ball quickly but Esonu tackled her, grabbed the ball and scored the final try of the first half.

In the second half of the game, Coach MaryBeth Mathews had the team refocus so that they would not allow a late Tufts comeback, a situation the Bowdoin team al-lowed in their meeting with the

Rowing cruises to top-tier performances in fi rst regattas

The club rowing team kicked off its fall season last Sunday at the Textile River Regatta in Lowell, Mass. with the women’s and men’s crews claiming gold and silver medals, respectively.

Sunday was the first time that the team had registered indepen-dent varsity and novice eights. This generated some uncertainty at the regatta, in addition to the team’s usual start of the season jit-ters.

Coach Gil Birney said he was ultimately impressed by the team’s performance.

“You never know going into the first race how fast you are; you have an idea, but you’re never sure,” he said.

The varsity women’s fours had a dominant time trial performance that was particularly impressive, said Birney.

“They won by 29 seconds, a phe-nomenal gap against some good competition. They really amazed me,” he said.

“The men I expected to go pret-ty fast... but we faced some high-powered rowing clubs,” Birney continued.

The varsity men’s four finished well over a minute ahead of the next college crew.

The rest of the team placed competitively. The men’s and women’s varsity eights finished 11th and 12th respectively.

The novice teams also fared well. The two novice women’s fours fin-ished third and fifth, and the nov-ice women’s eight finished fourth. The novice men’s fours won a sil-ver medal while the novice men’s eight placed fourth.

“We have a very young team,” said captain Tucker Colvin ’13, the only senior on his varsity four. “We had a lot of first years come out last year; most of the team picked up rowing in college, but they’re passionate about the sport, and it manifests itself in our results.”

Bowdoin’s sculler, Scotty Mitch-ell ’15, also took the bronze in the men’s club single.

At the crew’s next regatta the team will face rival schools like Amherst, Conn. College, and the University of Vermont, all of whom have yet to race this year.

The Polar Bears took a fourth-place finish in the NESCAC Golf Tournament on September 30. The team finished with a score of 799, putting them behind Williams,

The men and women’s cross country teams had record results at last weekend’s Open New Eng-land meet.

The men finished in sixth place, their highest finish in the com-petition since 1955. The Polar Bears beat out top runners from Williams, the University of New Hampshire, and the University of Connecticut.

Junior Coby Horowitz clinched sixth place in the last two miles of the five mile race, finishing with a personal-best time and earn-ing All-New England recognition along with a NESCAC player of the week award. Sam Seekins ’14 earned All-New England hon-ors by finishing in 19th place and breaking 25 minutes for the first time in his career.

Junior Nick Saba’s 86th place finish pushed Bowdoin from eighth place to sixth, according to Head Coach Peter Slovenski. In the final mile, Bowdoin was in eighth place. Saba managed to pass enough runners on his way to the finish line to push Bowdoin ahead to sixth place.

The women’s team achieved its fastest average time for the top five runners in the past ten years. Slovenski said that first years Lucy Skinner and Bri Malanga were re-sponsible for much of the team’s success. He added that the runners had a lot of academic obligations prior to the race but “managed to rally.”

The men’s golf team finished its 2012 season on a high note this weekend. On Saturday, the squad triumphed at the Martindale Country Club, defeating rivals Bates and Colby in order to clinch the Colby-Bowdoin-Bates (CBB) trophy for the first time since 2010.

Dusty Biron ’15 led the competi-tion, shooting a 79, two shots clear of the rest of the field, to become the individual CBB champion and tremendously help lift Bowdoin’s average score.

“I am very happy with Dusty’s performance at the CBB,” said Head Coach Tomas Fortson. “He has really been working hard and is committing to the process”.

Other standout performances included Bobby Kaminski ’14 and Kevin Zmozynski ’16. Each shot an 81, while Johnny Bohorquez ’13 and Matt Mathias ’14 finished at 82 strokes.

Junior Sam Herzig said the tour-nament was an important victory for the team inspite of its other matches this year.

“The CBB is closer to home for the team; it means more to us in terms of the regular season,” he said.

Over fall break, the team trav-eled to Gorham Country Club for the University of Southern Maine Fall, conluding its fall schedule with a sixth-place finish of 11 teams at the event.

Bohorquez led the Polar Bears,

The team will travel to Worces-ter, Mass. on October 13 for the college-only Quinsigamond Snake Regatta.

The Polar Bears will end the year at the Head of the Charles Re-gatta, which draws high schools, colleges, clubs, and international teams alike.

“We are looking to see how we compete against other teams,” cox-swain and captain Bonnie Cao ’13 said. “It’s our first real competi-tion.”

able to offload the ball to London who dove over the line to score.

Tufts rallied late but crucial tackles from Townsend and Hay-leigh Kein ’15 kept the Jumbos from adding to their score.

Townsend scored for her second try of the game, making the final score 31-5.

Townsend said the Tufts back line was better than any other Bowdoin has played up to now, which made it difficult for the team to score.

“They were a faster, fitter and more skilled team than we had en-countered so far. They have good hands, were able to get the ball out quickly and had good rucking and tackling skills,” Townsend said.

In preparation for their upcom-ing game against Middlebury, Coach Mathews has prioritized route running with the backs as well as working on field awareness,

especially noticing the weak spot in defense.

“What the backs will work on this week, and all players running with the ball, is running straight, rather than drifting,” Mathews said. “This occurred in the Tufts game because of the added pres-sure from a better team. Another area I’m working hard to teach them, because they are fairly new to the game, is to understand that the strike point of an offensive play is relative to the tackle line in front of them, which is relative to the speed and formation of the de-fense. While it may sound simple to say, it takes a lot of experience and repetitive practicing to be able to execute at top speed and under pressure.”

With the team resting this week during their bye, they will travel to Vermont to play Middlebury on Saturday with an 11 a.m. kickoff.

“They were a faster, fi tter and more skilled team than we had encountered so far. They have good hands, were able to get the ball out quickly and had good rucking and tackling skills,”

Despite their success at the CBB, the Polar Bears failed to finish their season amongst the top four teams in the NESCAC, just miss-ing the playoffs.

“We could have been in the NE-SCAC playoff if all our best players had played to their potential at the right moment”, said Fortson. He added that he is making the play-offs a goal for next year.

The women’s golf team com-peted in its last tournament of the season last week at the Williams Fall Classic, coming in 12th place out of 14 teams.

“I was very satisfied with the performance of the team this year,” said Head Coach Marissa O’Neil.

She also projected confidence for her team next year.

“We’re not graduating any play-ers, which is really nice, and hope-fully we’ll be able to pick up some more members next year,” O’Neil said.

This year marks O’Neil’s first season as the head coach of the women’s golf program. O’Neil, who also coaches women’s ice hockey in the winter season, said her com-mitment to the team was an overall positive experience.

“It was a completely different ex-perience, one that I really enjoyed,” she said. “I’m used to coaching groups of 20 to 30, and the golf team is much smaller. And, even though the season is much shorter, you get to know the players really well.”

Despite the shutout, Williams worked the Bowdoin defense and at times utilized holes to make attack-ing advances—holes Pearson says must be closed up during practice this week.

4 e 5 ve game win streak has not bred complacency for the Po-lar Bears. NESCAC victories rarely come easily, and Pearson says her team realizes a 70 minute sustained e2 ort is imperative to beat anyone in the competitive conference.

LETTER TO THE EDITORProfessors do much more than teach and advise, when you look behind the scenes

As college tuition continues to increase, some in the popular press have begun to ask what it is that pro-fessors do when they are not teach-ing. Even among Bowdoin students, alumni and some sta3 , there may be confusion on this matter.

You students see us in classrooms and you understand that teaching involves much more than this time alone; we must prepare our lectures, draw up syllabi, grade papers and as-signments, direct honors theses, etc. You also meet with us as advisors concerning your Bowdoin education and your next steps a4 er college; you ask for and receive letters of recom-mendation.

But beyond teaching and advising, what do professors do and why? A few of us on the faculty thought it might be useful to answer these questions.

2 e Bowdoin Faculty Handbook makes it clear that professors have two additional obligations beyond teaching: research and service. For the purposes of tenure and promo-tion at Bowdoin, teaching and re-search are seen as paramount, while service is signi5 cant, but less impor-tant.

Service at Bowdoin is a broad cat-egory, but it includes administrative matters at the departmental level and attendance at faculty meetings. It also includes service on working groups and college committees, in-volving tasks ranging from reviewing curriculum and educational policy to interviewing students applying for Watsons and Fulbrights.

Faculty also organize academic events on campus, serve on search committees for new faculty hires and oversee the tenure and promotion of junior colleagues. Such duties can be extremely time consuming, but they are crucial to the governance and ad-ministration of a liberal arts college.

But beyond teaching, scholar-ship is the more important compo-nent of our job. Bowdoin professors are expected to be part of the broad enterprise of the arts and sciences: enhancing our understanding of the world around us and producing works of beauty and signi5 cance. 2 is means, in the 5 rst instance, that faculty members have a responsibil-ity to keep abreast of developments in their chosen 5 eld, reading the latest journal articles and books, attending professional conferences and the like.

Moreover, professors are expected to be productive contributors to their disciplines. For most, this means do-ing original research and publishing on a fairly regular basis in scholarly journals or writing books for aca-demic presses. For those in the 5 ne arts, it means creating new paintings, poems and musical compositions, as well as performing or exhibiting them.

2 e research process varies greatly by discipline, but there are some common elements.

First, in many 5 elds, faculty write grant proposals in order to get neces-sary funding, including support for laboratories or travel to 5 eld sites in

foreign countries. Grant writing is a time-consuming process, o4 en re-quiring multiple rounds of revision.

Once funding is secured, there is the actual research process. Depend-ing on the discipline involved, this might require extensive time in a laboratory in the basement of Druck-enmiller Hall, 5 eldwork in Asia, long days reading in archives, or long nights puzzling through di6 cult con-ceptual, theoretical, or mathematical questions.

If, through this process, the fac-ulty member arrives at a result that seems to represent an advance in her 5 eld, she will typically write it up in the form of an article or scholarly book. She will then submit her ar-ticle or book to a press or journal, where it is sent out for anonymous peer-review to professors at other colleges and universities who deter-mine whether or not the piece is a su6 ciently valuable contribution to the discipline.

Sometimes even well-written and solidly-researched books and articles are rejected (some journals have an acceptance rate of 5 ve percent or even less—harder than getting into Bowdoin!), but some are, eventually, accepted and published—o4 en a4 er

2 is week the 5 rst a6 rmative action case in a decade came before the Su-preme Court. 2 e justices heard oral arguments in the case of Fisher v. Uni-versity of Texas at Austin, and though no opinions will be issued until well into 2013, the consequences of this case will impact public and private institutions of higher education across the country.

Bowdoin, along with 37 peer schools, submitted an amicus curiae brief sup-porting the University of Texas that underscores the importance of cultivating diversity on American college campuses. 2 is brief emphasizes that diversity is a crucial element of the academic, residential and social climates of liberal arts institutions. Bowdoin and its peer schools argue that their interest in di3 erence is not discrimination; an overabundance of quali5 ed candidates vie for spots at the nation’s top schools and, the brief states, “it is educationally bene5 cial for the institution and its student body to have members from far-7 ung states and myriad backgrounds...to be national institutions, to draw students from (and prepare future leaders for) the whole nation.”

2 e draw of an institution such as Bowdoin comes in no small measure from the unique learning environment that is created when students from di3 erent backgrounds and with di3 erent experiences and viewpoints are brought togeth-er. Sustaining and expanding diversity is an ongoing project, and it is di6 cult to imagine how an institution might avoid taking race into account and still play host to students of varied backgrounds. As the brief notes, in the same way that “it is hard to attract a violinist to a school that has no orchestra, it is hard to attract students of color to Middlebury, Colgate, and other rural campuses in highly un-diverse regions without a critical mass of fellow students.” Just as Bowdoin deploys its need-blind admissions policy to shape the College’s so-cioeconomic diversity, a6 rmative action allows Bowdoin to ensure students of disparate racial and ethnic backgrounds are represented on campus.

In this uncertain economic time, colleges and universities are facing di6 cult decisions that raise questions about the practicality of need-blind policies and the in7 uence of 5 nancial considerations in admissions. Wesleyan University an-nounced that it will abandon its need-blind policy this year in light of 5 nancial strains. 2 ough Bowdoin has been need-blind for over a decade, the policy does not apply to international applicants, transfer students, or to the waitlist. And it is far from a guarantee; only six institutions of higher learning in the U.S. claim to be both need-blind and full-need for all applicants. Many colleges, includ-ing Bowdoin, cannot a3 ord to meet that goal. 2 is year’s endowment returns, though lower than projected, nevertheless point to the long-term 5 nancial sta-bility of the College and hopefully mean that Bowdoin will remain need-blind for the foreseeable future.

We applaud Bowdoin’s commitment to its need-blind policy and the dedi-cation to socioeconomic diversity that informs it. Decisions made in the next few years--both by Supreme Court Justices and College administrators--will determine much about how Bowdoin selects its students. Student diversity is a distinguishing feature of the o3 er the College and the education it provides. We can’t a3 ord to take diversity for granted when the future of the policies that facilitate it are less than certain.

First, it is simply part of the mission of Bowdoin College to contribute to the advancement

of knowledge and art. It is part of who we are; it is our passion; it is

central to our support of the common good; it defi nes being a professor; it is just part of the job.

a lengthy interval for revision and re-assessment.

Beyond publishing our work, Bowdoin professors also present our scholarship at conferences and give invited lectures at other schools.

We also serve as anonymous re-viewers for other scholars’ journal articles, grant applications, and book manuscripts. We review our colleagues at other institutions for tenure and promotion, write book reviews, serve on book prize com-mittees, and organize panels, confer-ences and symposia. We write letters of recommendation, not only for stu-dents, but for colleagues and gradu-ate students at other institutions.

Some professors edit volumes of critical essays, become the editors of scholarly journals or serve on edito-rial boards. Some are elected as of-5 cers of national professional asso-ciations or are elected to Boards of Trustees. Some write op-eds for the mainstream press or write books for a more general audience, making their scholarship accessible to the broader public.

So why do we engage in scholar-ship, particularly when it takes so much time and e3 ort? Why not just stick to the classroom? 2 ere are sev-eral reasons.

First, it is simply part of the mis-sion of Bowdoin College to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and art. It is part of who we are; it is our passion; it is central to our support of the common good; it de5 nes being a professor; it is just part of the job.

Second, scholarship infuses teach-ing. If you were going to learn about neurosurgery, you would want to study under someone who performs operations on the human brain rath-er than under someone who had only read about how to do those opera-tions properly. It only makes sense to learn about history or anthropology or philosophy from those who are successful historians, anthropologists or philosophers.

In these fields, the production of original research is the equivalent of brain surgery for the neurosur-geon; our publications demonstrate that we are experienced members of our respective guilds. In our class-rooms, then, you have the oppor-tunity to work with people who are engaged on a daily basis in contrib-uting to our understanding of the past, the present, and the future. In our scientific laboratories, students have the opportunity to participate in pioneering research.

Third, our work as scholars en-hances the reputation of the Col-lege and thereby increases the value of the degree you hope to receive. In U.S. and World Report’s annual ranking of national liberal arts col-leges a significant factor in a col-lege’s ranking is a “peer assessment survey.” This means that faculty and administrators at other col-leges are asked to comment on the academic reputation of Bowdoin. Their judgments are based in no small part on the scholarly reputa-tion and contributions of the Bow-doin faculty.

Therefore, every time a Bowdoin faculty member publishes an article or a book, produces a play, compos-es a symphony, wins a prestigious grant or fellowship, is elected as an officer in a professional association, or is awarded any kind of honor, we not only advance the common good, but we bring distinction to Bowdoin, enhance the College’s reputation, and thereby increase the value of a Bowdoin diploma.

The hours we spend on teaching and advising are obviously an abso-lutely central component of our job. But it is not the whole of who we are and what we do as Bowdoin profes-sors. And you wouldn’t want it any other way.

After a cowardly showing at the debate, Obama needs to rekindle voters’ faith

Can extinguished love be rekin-dled? Can disgruntled lovers recon-cile? On November 6, we will 3 nd out.

During the 3 rst presidential de-bate last week, President Obama did his best to break up with us through disinterest.

Over the course of just 90 minutes, he sent Democrats into hallucino-genic 4 ashbacks of the last decade—when John Kerry and Al Gore broke our hearts and reminded us that in politics, warm humans (re: Bush) al-ways beat the best-intentioned liberal statistics.

All of a sudden, the robot that is Mitt Romney, whose blinks used to seem algorithmically orchestrated, was human. Meanwhile, the president seemed to think he was teaching an 8 a.m. organic chemistry class.

In my very 3 rst column for the Orient, I argued that conservatives were consistently more successful at engaging the emotions of Americans than the country’s liberals. While the

president has essentially played hard-to-get over the last four years, he had, at least temporarily (and with the help of a revoltingly medieval Republican caucus), disproven this as a rule. De-spite rampant cynicism, we knew the record was pretty good.

5 e Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the stimulus, healthcare, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, 3 nance reform, ending the Iraq War, bitching out the Supreme Court over Citizens United. 5 e president reminded us that governance didn’t have to be a symposium in dread as it was under Bush. If we were frustrated with Obama’s failures, it was because we expected too much of him. And anyways, we could just blame it on the most obstinate, childish, and pathetic Congress in the nation’s history.

5 e debate changed that.Yes, Mitt Romney’s lies blazed like

a forest 3 re. But where was the rebut-tal? It wasn’t going to come from Jim Lehrer, who was attending Big Bird’s funeral before heading to the unem-ployment line with the rest of PBS’ former employees.

Had President Obama shown even a little bit of 3 ght, we could have called this an o6 -night, brooded for a while, and then eventually gotten over it and reelected him. 5 at’s not what happened. He wilted. And the great-

Last Friday, Edward Archbold died a7 er taking part in a cockroach-eating contest in Deer3 eld Beach, Flor. 5 e prize was a python. 5 anks to the CNN website, I know that the very next day the brothers Brandon and Blayne Estes championed the inaugural Bentonville, Ark. squirrel cook-o6 with their squirrel slider recipe.

CNN clearly thinks this information is valuable enough to the planet to be located on its home page. Now I know that if I ever see either Brandon or Blayne, I should ask enthusiastically for a taste of their prize-winning delicacy. I also know...not to eat cockroaches? 5 anks CNN for that excellent report-ing!

While this kind of news may be somewhat interesting or even useful when the event is read in a local news-paper, it has absolutely no relevance to a college student in Maine.

With useless news comes useful news. 5 e Internet has an enormous database that most of us use every single day. When I study in the library it’s not because I seek speci3 c books that would provide me with certain information, it is to have a studious environment where I can use a computer that would give me more information that can be stored in a library. Everything from amateur diagnosis, to class research, to communication with distant friends can be conducted via the Internet because it shrinks the distance between people and information.

But when did this obliteration of space occur? It happened on May 24, 1844, when Samuel F. B. Morse dis-patched the 3 rst telegraphic message-from Washington D.C. to Baltimore. Soon a7 er, a massive telegraph grid was constructed across the United States.

In 1854 Henry David 5 oreau wrote in “Walden”, “We are in a great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from

Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate. We are eager to tunnel under the Atlantic and bring the old world to the new; but perchance the 3 rst news that will leak through the broad 4 apping American ear will be that Prin-cess Adelaide has the whooping cough.”

It’s curious that more than a century and a half ago, 5 oreau warned of news such as that of Edward Archbold and the Estes brothers—our modern equivalent to Princess Adelaide’s whooping cough. With distance rendered meaningless, much of the news we read everyday has no practical in4 uence upon any of our day-to-day lives.

News is global. We read on the Inter-net about events that occur thousands of miles away because for some of us there is the chance that our lives will eventu-ally be intertwined with it.

5 is is why all students should ad-mire an anomaly such as the Bowdoin Orient. Despite the fact that the newspa-per business is slowly dying, su6 ocating under the elasticity of the Internet, the Orient continues to endure and prosper. Like all other adapting newspapers, the Orient also has an online edition. How-ever in this case, the web edition pales in comparison to holding the latest Ori-ent on Friday a7 ernoon on the way into 5 orne or Moulton.

5 e Orient contains informa-tion pertinent to the entire Bowdoin community. 5 e news headlines, the sports, the opinions—this is news that has a bearing on our daily lives in Brunswick more than anything Richard Quest could possibly spout.

So I say, congratulations, to the Orient and to all the students who have contributed to it, for maintain-ing the longest continuously pub-lished college weekly in the United States. To all Bowdoin students swamped in an ocean of irrelevant—and sometimes meaningless—knowledge, here is a news service that will not insist on your awareness of Bentonville’s squirrel cook-o6 or Edward Archbold’s tragic but bizarre death-by-cockroach.

In 2000, when Rep. Rick Lazio le7 his debate podium to wag a 3 nger at Hillary Clinton, the former 3 rst lady managed to look bemused. Lazio laid a copy of 5 e New York Freedom from So7 Money Pact—a document that would e6 ectively ban largely un-regulated campaign donations—on her podium. He then proceeded to jab at it while commanding her to “sign it.” Later, as viewers expressed distaste for the Congressman’s de-bate tactics, both campaigns would claim that sexism had occurred—but against whom?

5 e New York Times reported that Clinton felt bullied by Lazio “in a way that he would not have bullied a male opponent.”

Meanwhile, the Associated Press and ABC News ran her opponent’s take: “5 e idea that somehow that there’s a double standard because you’re a man or a woman, and you can’t make a point forcefully if you’re a man, and the person you’re mak-ing the point with is a woman, I just think that’s sexist.”

It didn’t matter that Hillary Clin-ton had put herself in the position of debate. Female voters still saw the Congressman as every bullying boyfriend, aggressive husband, or pa-tronizing male academic they’d ever encountered.

Meanwhile, far more men than just Bill Clinton saw a guy get a little too close to their woman—and didn’t like it one bit. “Sign it” might as well have been “suck it” from Lazio, who

was le7 whining that he wasn’t al-lowed to hit a woman—even when she was in his boxing ring.

As I watched the 3 rst presidential debate of 2012 I was reminded of Lazio, whose campaign never rose from that one grave mistake.

Last 5 ursday, both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama exhibited boorish behavior toward moderator Jim Lehrer. Mid-debate I 3 elded an irate text from my mom: “Romney needs to go back to second grade,” where statistically he

Cockroaches, squirrel sliders, and the decline of useful news

Debate trends rife with sexism and disrespect

Even with Jim Lehrer in the moderator’s seat, it’s no stretch to

say that there would be a word for a female politician who—following

the example of Romney—repeatedly cut off a moderator’s attempts to apply time limits. It

begins with a b.

would be taught by a nurturing, female teacher not to interrupt.

“Mitt Romney wanted to play by his own rules, and that came across loud and clear,” Obama spokesperson Stephanie Cutter wrote to Politico. 5 ese liberties came with no penalty, but rather the belated branding of Romney as aggressive and presiden-tial, accompanied by copious Twitter snark directed at a passive Jim Lehrer.

What about Jane Lehrer? You know, Jim’s 3 ctional female alter ego. I don’t think we can say with certainty that Jane would have received the same criticism of passivity. In fact, Obama’s “You interrupted me” may have taken on a new, darker tone. 5 at’s no way to talk to your second grade teacher.

“Hey!” You might be thinking, “No imaginary moderators in politics.” But we don’t really have to imagine the in4 uence of gender in political debate—we’ve seen it. Even with Jim Lehrer in the moderator’s seat, it’s no stretch to say that there would be a word for a female politician who—following the example of Romney—repeatedly cut o6 a moderator’s at-tempts to apply time limits. It begins with a b.

5 is week, leading up to the vice presidential debate, Politico’s Jona-than Martin asked whether it would be Gentleman Joe or Scranton Joe, who would show up to take on Paul Ryan; “Scranton Joe” being Biden at his scrappy best, and “Gentleman Joe” being the 2008 version of a can-didate who was “determined not to come o6 as patronizing or bullying Sarah Palin.”

I’d like Joe to be free to let his Scranton 4 ag 4 y, despite the sex of his opponent. I’d like to turn back time and watch Hillary Clinton brandish a well-manicured nail two feet from Rick Lazio’s eyeball—if only to take my own turn at being bemused when “bitch” rather than “bully” became the buzzword of the election.

And then, you know what I’d like? I’d like politicians to stop it with the 3 nger-wagging once and for all. Po-diums were meant to be stood be-hind, and moderators were meant to be respected.

Gender is a factor in political de-bate, and if Martin’s right it’s here to stay. As voters, let’s counteract the confounding in4 uence of boobs by agreeing on a set of debate best practices and holding politicians accountable to meet them. Nobody gets his or her own set of rules. My second grade teacher taught me that.

The economy still lagged; the debt still loomed. But, at least half of this country still liked President Obama. And, without a serious opponent, that was going to be enough to coast through to a second term.

est consequence of this, at least in my opinion, has not been discussed in the 4 urry of post-debate commentary.

Most of the pundits have talked about the president’s exhaustion, lack of spirit, and Romney’s surpris-ing energy. All of this is true, but it doesn’t capture the emotional impact on voters—which I think is the most important thing as we are the ones

who do the actual electing.For 90 minutes, we no longer liked

President Obama.For nearly four years, we have shak-

en our heads during his ill-fated at-tempts at bipartisanship. We lamented his scant use of the bully pulpit dur-ing the deluge of Republican Senate 3 libusters. We coughed loudly as our more liberal friends asked about the closure of Guantanamo that never

happened. But, during all of this, most of us never stopped believing in the president.

I am aware that this is a contro-versial point. Many were predict-ing a huge fall o6 in enthusiasm because of the unmet expectations and unful3 lled promises of the 2008 campaign. However, until this week, Obama’s reelection seemed like a sure thing. States like Ohio and Vir-ginia were showing consistent and sizable advantages for the president. And, as Jon Stewart put it, landing Mitt Romney as an opponent made Barack Obama “the luckiest dude on the planet.”

5 e economy still lagged; the debt still loomed. But, at least half of this country still liked President Obama. And, without a serious opponent, that was going to be enough to coast through to a second term.

Polling data and the increasing vol-ume of Democratic teeth chattering prove that last week’s dream scenario is now totally shattered. For the 3 rst time, Barack Obama failed us. He had had his share of losses as president. However, the strength of his charac-ter had never been called into ques-tion. Bill Clinton had more salient moral failings, but in politics, apathy may be a more unforgivable sin.

Nowhere was this more apparent than in the aftermath of watching the debate in Hubbard Hall’s Shan-non Room with about 60 other Bowdoin students. While Bowdoin is not the most fiercely political campus, most of its students are pretty well informed. And in the aftermath of something as impor-tant as a presidential debate, a fair share of Bowdoin students will transform into pundits, at least momentarily.

Not this time.There was only a rustle of jack-

ets and book bags, and some un-related chatter. The room quickly emptied.

Everyone knew that Romney could “win” the debate. No one was prepared to walk away feeling cold toward the President.

Most experts still think that the president will win reelection. They are probably right. Let us hope that he and all others that are commit-ted to a country that honors the dignity of every last one of its citi-zens remembers that statistics and slogans will not set us apart.

It must be our willingness to fight every day and in every debate that will help us change this coun-try for the better.
