463 participate in Common Good Day
Four hundred and eight Bow-doin students 20 prospective stu-
dents and 35 faculty staff alumniand family members participated inthe Collegersquos 16th annual CommonGood Day last Saturday
Participants worked on 50 com-munity service projects around mid-coast Maine including coastal clean-up trail work painting and indoorcleaning among others
Registration was smoother thisyear than in the past though thetrips 1047297lled up just as quickly as ever
ldquoGroups take up the majority of thespots and there are usually enoughspots for individualsrdquo said AndrewLardie associate director for serviceand leadership at the McKeen Centerfor the Common Good
For the past few years CommonGood Day and Explore Bowdoinmdashan overnight program for prospec-tive studentsmdashhave coincided andthis year 20 prospective students
took part in the Bowdoin traditionldquo[Associate Dean of Admis-
sions] Claudia Marroquin hasbeen really good about informing

prospies about the project possi-bilities and then matching themuprdquo said Lardie
Feedback from Common GoodDay participants has been largely
positive Eighty-six percent of par-ticipants found their experienceeither ldquovery positiverdquo or ldquopositiverdquo
Tory Rusch rsquo15 a member of thesoftball team worked on a projectat a local Brunswick retirementhome with her teammates Saturdaymarked Ruschrsquos third time partici-pating in Common Good Day
ldquoWe all get together have someteam bonding and help out thecommunity at the same timerdquosaid Rusch
The project entailed building abocce court and painting doors andwalls inside the retirement home
ldquo[It was especially rewarding] go-ing to the retirement home and get-ting to interact with the residentsthat actually live thererdquo said RuschldquoWersquod paint their doors and sit andchatmdashit was nice to get to see whoyou were helpingrdquo
Simon Close rsquo17 also spoke high-ly of his Common Good Day expe-rience Close and five fellow resi-dents of Quinby House went to the
Dehumidifier installed tocombat mold in Burnett
After battling mold growth inthe basement of Burnett House lastspring Facilities Management is
taking steps to ensure that the moldwill not return After sealing theroom and repainting the walls didnot stop the mold from regrowingFacilities is installing a dehumidi-fier system to keep moisture at bayTe commercial grade dehumidi-
1047297er arrived on campus September23 and will be installed before theend of the week according to As-sociate Director of Facilities Opera-tions Jeff Tuttle
Mold grows in moist conditionsand in addition to its bad smell it canbe hazardous to living conditions
ldquoSome people can have a reactionto moldrdquo Tuttle said ldquo[But] the issue[in Burnett] is very very minor andthe amount of mold in the basementis very minimalrdquo
When Facilities was informedof the issue several employees
went to Burnett House cleanedand sealed the area and paintedover the wall they thought was thesource of the moisture

ldquoIt was really cool to see the fin-ished product of what our service

Like Rusch Close said he foundhis Common Good Day project tobe rewarding
ldquoIrsquom really proud to be a Bow-doin student if this is somethingthat Bowdoin presents itself as do-ingrdquo he said
The McKeen Center hopes thatCommon Good Day will inspirestudents to make long-term ser-
vice commitments ldquoeither withthe same organization they workedwith on Common Good Day orsomething related or unrelatedrdquosaid Lardie
ldquoWhen we talk with studentswho are in some of our more spe-cific programs Alternative [Spring]Break for instance many of their
first experiences with communityservice were with Common GoodDay so we know that sometimes itis a gatewayrdquo he said
The religion department willrelocate from Ashby House toKanbar Hall this January Thehouse which was built in the1840s is no longer suited to holdlarge quanities of books and fileson its upper floors posing prob-lems for professors with officespace in the building
Dean for Academic Aff airs Chris-tle Collins Judd said there is ldquonostructural issue with the buildingrdquo
While Ashby has been deemedunsuitable for the needs of pro-fessors who currently have offic-es there it poses no real imme-diate threat to them Judd saidmany of the problems exist be-cause Ashby was originally builtas a residence hall
ldquoIt is a residential house and sostructurally having academic of-fices with many many bookcasesand many many files is just notwhat the building was built forrdquosaid Judd ldquoWe recognize that it isnot the best place to have lots andlots of bookcases and files on theupper floorsrdquo
Religion department to move to KanbarBY CHAMBLEE SHUFFLEBARGER
STAFF WRITER
Senior Vice President of Fi-nance and Administration KatyLongley said that the buildingmay require construction for lateruse Whether or not such changeswill be made will be decided bythe Board of Trustees on October16 and 17
board for approvalrdquoJudd and Longley were both
unable to comment on which pro-fessors in Kanbar will be requiredto move in order to make roomfor religion professors It is notyet clear where those moved fromKanbar will be relocated
After the religion departmentmoves out Ashbymdashwhether ren-ovated or notmdashwill likely houseadministrative offices
ldquoWe will use it for adminis-trative purposesmdashthat doesnrsquotrequire all of the books and fac-ultyrdquo said Judd ldquo[Ashby] wasbuilt as a house It was built asa home So it is fine for admi nis-trative purpos esrdquo
Members of the religion depart-ment declined to comment on themove However Judd said that shefeels certain the move will not have anegative impact on the department
ldquoObviously nobody likes to haveto pack up your books and movebut the College will take care ofthatrdquo said Judd ldquoThe departmentwill have a good location as theygo forward and access to good aca-demic resources So I think itrsquos apositive move for the departmentrdquo
anything that may be of harm tostudents is present we always re-spond very quickly and do whatis needed for the safety of the stu-dentsrdquo said Tuttle
Tuttle said he went to Burnett
last week and saw no further evi-dence of mold As a precautionthough Facilities decided to in-stall the dehumidifier and to pipeair into the space to keep moisturelevels to a minimum
Initially there were rumors thata boarded-up section of Burnettrsquosbasement was linked to the moldbut that is not the case
Facilities had blocked off a sectionof the basement for the safety of theresidents In the section behind theboards there is a mechanical areathat includes sprinkler systems andother tools that according to Tuttleare unsafe for students to access
Burnettrsquos laundry room is lo-cated right next to the boarded-uparea Facilities changed the en-trance to the laundry room and putup a wall to keep students out of
the mechanical arealdquoThe building of the boards torestrict mechanical supplies andthe minimal problem of the moldare completely different issuesrdquosaid Tuttle

The initiative is also attractivefor recruiting new faculty membersto Bowdoin
ldquoSome recent faculty members arecoming out of their graduate schoolshaving been immersed already indigitally and computationally richapproaches to their subjectrdquo saidDean for Academic Aff airs CristleCollins Judd Te initiative says to
them according to Judd that ldquoBow-doin will give you a platform whereyou can develop that not only inyour own research but as a part ofwhat you do in teachingrdquoTe College hired Gieseking dur-
ing the summer of 2013 as a part ofthe initiative Gieseking has a PhD inenvironmental psychology and hasworked on integrating technology intolesbian and queer studies in New YorkCity before coming to Bowdoin Shedescribed the College as unique in its
completely interdisciplinary approachto the integration of DCSI compo-nents According to Gieseking manyother schools have begun technologyintegration initiatives that focus pri-marily on the sciences while Bowdoinis seeking to incorporate DCSI in anyand all curricular disciplines
Bowdoin also hired Hall as a partof the initiative who has a PhD inItalian literature and previously useddigital strategies for the organizationof large quantities of text during herwork studying Galileorsquos library whileat the University of Kansas
Both are uniquely equipped to fa-cilitate the integration of DCSI prin-
ciples in diff erent 1047297elds at BowdoinTe College is presenting the ini-
tiative as an exciting and innovativenew curricular pursuit and PresidentBarry Mills has been keen to incor-porate the new initiative in his fund-raising eff orts Accordingly the pres-idential search committee includedinformation about the initiative ina document drafed for the futurepresident in a part of the section ti-tled ldquoTe Academic Core BowdoinrsquosOff errdquo Te document suggests thatBowdoin foresees ldquobig datardquo becom-ing as integral to the liberal arts aswriting or math
Many students believe the DCSIcourses will teach skills applicable to
the job market According to Juddthe program was not conceived spe-ci1047297cally for the purpose of makingliberal arts more marketable to stu-dents concerned about the job mar-ket and value of college though shedid acknowledge that it is a positiveaspect of the initiativeTe initiative is coordinated by

Hall Fletcher Gaze and Zeeman allsit on the committee and Zeemanand Fletcher serve as co-directors ofthe initiative
In addition to exposing studentsto digital and computational aspectsof scholarship one of the major goalsfor DCSI is to prompt questions abouthow these techniques can and shouldbe used in a classroom settingTe Digital Humanities course
cluster of the initiative focuses ontechnological integration in classesthat have traditionally focused on thehumanities Te Digital Humanitiescourse cluster is partially funded bythe Mellon Humanities Initiativemdashathree year grant designed to encour-
age interdisciplinary collaborationRenovations to the third 1047298oor of
the Visual Arts Center (VAC) werealso a part of the initiative creatingnew spaces for DCSI classes Teserooms are stocked with laptops pre-loaded with the programs that may be
required for DCSI classes blu-ray andprojector capabilities and movabletables or desks that are designed to beparticularly conducive to group work
DCSI students have respondedpositively to the new classrooms
Kelsey Scarlett rsquo17 a student in theImagining Eighteenth-Century Lon-don through Literature course on thethird 1047298oor of the VAC said she 1047297ndsthe renovation very conducive to hercourse
ldquoA lot of these digital humanitiesclasses are pretty collaborative so thespace itself facilitates that really eas-ilyrdquo Scarlett said
Scarlett who plans to double majorin English and government and legalstudies said she took the DCSI class inhopes of being exposed to a new wayto look at literature
Library and Information Technol-ogy staff are also available as resourcesfor professors interested in incorpo-rating DCSI components into theirclasses and professors are encouragedto work closely with Hall and Giesek-ing to establish and execute goals forincorporating such components
According to Hall the Collegeplans to off er DCSI courses in chem-istry government and legal studiesand other social science based de-partments in the coming years Po-laris will be updated in the comingyears so that students may speci1047297-cally search for DCSI courses

Building a Minyan a look at Hillelrsquos Rosh HashanahBY VERA FENG
STAFF WRITER
As Rosh Hashanah approachesmany Jewish students realize how farthey are from their families but theyare able to celebrate the Jewish NewYear with a1047297gurative family here at theCollege On September 24 and 25 Hil-lel Bowdoinrsquos Jewish student organiza-
tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner
Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year
According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel
ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo
Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and
lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents
ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo
ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo
As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers
ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo
Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn
Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments
Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-
stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community
ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy
very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said
Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult

when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that
inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-
neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death
ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-
equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans
ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly
threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo
McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests
He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police
ldquoIt was an experience to see par-
ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said
According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that
they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position
ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo
Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid
Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was
Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said
McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo
Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for
the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was
Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan
Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener
The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity
and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty
Pinot Grigio itself is actually
an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio
varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape
Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a
bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the
kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that
this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert
reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should
just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now
Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and
very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red
When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle
On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo
As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle
As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet
Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo
ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet
Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the
more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press
During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used
Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While
in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began
Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art
Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth
took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces
Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom
The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god
ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-
maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War
ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann
ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann
Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect
ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-
stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann
The idea for the show came in
large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition
At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke
van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable
ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has
exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that
has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos
tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread
ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo
Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator
of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22
The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de
Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-
ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967
These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small
vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited
ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one
of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these
shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation
ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann
ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4
The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm
Many students attending Tuesdayrsquoslecture were taking Printmaking I
Garreth Helm rsquo18 a student inPrintmaking I said the lecture wasinteresting and thought-provokingand noted how much work goesinto printmaking
Lizzy Takyi rsquo17 who is also inPrintmaking I said ldquowhat he wassaying I could almost picture hap-pening because we have been talkingabout using some of these materialsrdquo
Associate Professor of Art Michael
Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster
Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing
ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

America land of the privileged home of the petulant
This summer I spent a week in
Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra
My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke
During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his
vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball
Wivesrdquo Another time I walked
into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice
On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-
boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap
I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks
I looked atthe TV ldquoThis
is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone
ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf
roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo
Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down
in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo
In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-
selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway
seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table
New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt
seems that in doing
away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine
I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the
best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo
Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of
Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it
My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo
Maybe this has somethingto do with it

ldquoNo family is safe when I sa-shayrdquo announced Mike Hadreasunder the moniker Perfume Ge-nius this summer with the re-lease of his brilliant scintillatingsingle ldquoQueenrdquo Hide your kidshide your wife hide your hard-cover copies of the NAS reportmdashbecause on his latest album ldquoTooBrightrdquo Hadreas emerges fromhis bedroom to prance saucilydown the catwalk
His previous efforts 2010rsquosintimate ldquoLearningrdquo and 2012rsquosintense ldquoPut Your Back N 2 Itrdquofelt cloistered and claustropho-bic but ldquoToo Brightrdquo shines witha defiant radiance In the past
voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a
building Now still haunted heoffers no apology
ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds
very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo
Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage
On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart
Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance
The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo
At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases
all of Perfume Geniusrsquo strengthshis evocative lyrics impeccablearrangement and tight sequenc-ing Most of all it highlights justhow powerful of a singer Hadreasis his voice shimmering and glim-mering as much Joacutensi as AntonyldquoFoolrdquo is not only fluttery andprecise but also firm and prouda balance Hadreas maintains per-fectly throughout the album
On ldquoToo Brightrdquo Perfume Ge-nius proves he is deserving of the
eponym He is able to distancehimself from the camp of discomusic while drawing on the aes-thetic of othered musicians whoturned the marginal mainstream
But Hadreas does not write gayanthems in the vein of the VillagePeople The introversion of be-ing raised as the ugly duckling ofchillwaversquos final brood still showson ldquoToo Brightrdquo Like Youth La-goon before him Hadreas takesbedroom experiences and blowsthem up into arena-sized stories

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

Playing both Middlebury and

463 participate in Common Good Day
Four hundred and eight Bow-doin students 20 prospective stu-
dents and 35 faculty staff alumniand family members participated inthe Collegersquos 16th annual CommonGood Day last Saturday
Participants worked on 50 com-munity service projects around mid-coast Maine including coastal clean-up trail work painting and indoorcleaning among others
Registration was smoother thisyear than in the past though thetrips 1047297lled up just as quickly as ever
ldquoGroups take up the majority of thespots and there are usually enoughspots for individualsrdquo said AndrewLardie associate director for serviceand leadership at the McKeen Centerfor the Common Good
For the past few years CommonGood Day and Explore Bowdoinmdashan overnight program for prospec-tive studentsmdashhave coincided andthis year 20 prospective students
took part in the Bowdoin traditionldquo[Associate Dean of Admis-
sions] Claudia Marroquin hasbeen really good about informing

prospies about the project possi-bilities and then matching themuprdquo said Lardie
Feedback from Common GoodDay participants has been largely
positive Eighty-six percent of par-ticipants found their experienceeither ldquovery positiverdquo or ldquopositiverdquo
Tory Rusch rsquo15 a member of thesoftball team worked on a projectat a local Brunswick retirementhome with her teammates Saturdaymarked Ruschrsquos third time partici-pating in Common Good Day
ldquoWe all get together have someteam bonding and help out thecommunity at the same timerdquosaid Rusch
The project entailed building abocce court and painting doors andwalls inside the retirement home
ldquo[It was especially rewarding] go-ing to the retirement home and get-ting to interact with the residentsthat actually live thererdquo said RuschldquoWersquod paint their doors and sit andchatmdashit was nice to get to see whoyou were helpingrdquo
Simon Close rsquo17 also spoke high-ly of his Common Good Day expe-rience Close and five fellow resi-dents of Quinby House went to the
Dehumidifier installed tocombat mold in Burnett
After battling mold growth inthe basement of Burnett House lastspring Facilities Management is
taking steps to ensure that the moldwill not return After sealing theroom and repainting the walls didnot stop the mold from regrowingFacilities is installing a dehumidi-fier system to keep moisture at bayTe commercial grade dehumidi-
1047297er arrived on campus September23 and will be installed before theend of the week according to As-sociate Director of Facilities Opera-tions Jeff Tuttle
Mold grows in moist conditionsand in addition to its bad smell it canbe hazardous to living conditions
ldquoSome people can have a reactionto moldrdquo Tuttle said ldquo[But] the issue[in Burnett] is very very minor andthe amount of mold in the basementis very minimalrdquo
When Facilities was informedof the issue several employees
went to Burnett House cleanedand sealed the area and paintedover the wall they thought was thesource of the moisture
ldquoWhen [Facilities] is madeaware of areas where mold or

ldquoIt was really cool to see the fin-ished product of what our service
had done and it was a good work-out toordquo said Close ldquoIt was great tosee that we made a difference andhelped outrdquo
Like Rusch Close said he foundhis Common Good Day project tobe rewarding
ldquoIrsquom really proud to be a Bow-doin student if this is somethingthat Bowdoin presents itself as do-ingrdquo he said
The McKeen Center hopes thatCommon Good Day will inspirestudents to make long-term ser-
vice commitments ldquoeither withthe same organization they workedwith on Common Good Day orsomething related or unrelatedrdquosaid Lardie
ldquoWhen we talk with studentswho are in some of our more spe-cific programs Alternative [Spring]Break for instance many of their
first experiences with communityservice were with Common GoodDay so we know that sometimes itis a gatewayrdquo he said
The religion department willrelocate from Ashby House toKanbar Hall this January Thehouse which was built in the1840s is no longer suited to holdlarge quanities of books and fileson its upper floors posing prob-lems for professors with officespace in the building
Dean for Academic Aff airs Chris-tle Collins Judd said there is ldquonostructural issue with the buildingrdquo
While Ashby has been deemedunsuitable for the needs of pro-fessors who currently have offic-es there it poses no real imme-diate threat to them Judd saidmany of the problems exist be-cause Ashby was originally builtas a residence hall
ldquoIt is a residential house and sostructurally having academic of-fices with many many bookcasesand many many files is just notwhat the building was built forrdquosaid Judd ldquoWe recognize that it isnot the best place to have lots andlots of bookcases and files on theupper floorsrdquo
Religion department to move to KanbarBY CHAMBLEE SHUFFLEBARGER
STAFF WRITER
Senior Vice President of Fi-nance and Administration KatyLongley said that the buildingmay require construction for lateruse Whether or not such changeswill be made will be decided bythe Board of Trustees on October16 and 17
board for approvalrdquoJudd and Longley were both
unable to comment on which pro-fessors in Kanbar will be requiredto move in order to make roomfor religion professors It is notyet clear where those moved fromKanbar will be relocated
After the religion departmentmoves out Ashbymdashwhether ren-ovated or notmdashwill likely houseadministrative offices
ldquoWe will use it for adminis-trative purposesmdashthat doesnrsquotrequire all of the books and fac-ultyrdquo said Judd ldquo[Ashby] wasbuilt as a house It was built asa home So it is fine for admi nis-trative purpos esrdquo
Members of the religion depart-ment declined to comment on themove However Judd said that shefeels certain the move will not have anegative impact on the department
ldquoObviously nobody likes to haveto pack up your books and movebut the College will take care ofthatrdquo said Judd ldquoThe departmentwill have a good location as theygo forward and access to good aca-demic resources So I think itrsquos apositive move for the departmentrdquo
anything that may be of harm tostudents is present we always re-spond very quickly and do whatis needed for the safety of the stu-dentsrdquo said Tuttle
Tuttle said he went to Burnett
last week and saw no further evi-dence of mold As a precautionthough Facilities decided to in-stall the dehumidifier and to pipeair into the space to keep moisturelevels to a minimum
Initially there were rumors thata boarded-up section of Burnettrsquosbasement was linked to the moldbut that is not the case
Facilities had blocked off a sectionof the basement for the safety of theresidents In the section behind theboards there is a mechanical areathat includes sprinkler systems andother tools that according to Tuttleare unsafe for students to access
Burnettrsquos laundry room is lo-cated right next to the boarded-uparea Facilities changed the en-trance to the laundry room and putup a wall to keep students out of
the mechanical arealdquoThe building of the boards torestrict mechanical supplies andthe minimal problem of the moldare completely different issuesrdquosaid Tuttle

The initiative is also attractivefor recruiting new faculty membersto Bowdoin
ldquoSome recent faculty members arecoming out of their graduate schoolshaving been immersed already indigitally and computationally richapproaches to their subjectrdquo saidDean for Academic Aff airs CristleCollins Judd Te initiative says to
them according to Judd that ldquoBow-doin will give you a platform whereyou can develop that not only inyour own research but as a part ofwhat you do in teachingrdquoTe College hired Gieseking dur-
ing the summer of 2013 as a part ofthe initiative Gieseking has a PhD inenvironmental psychology and hasworked on integrating technology intolesbian and queer studies in New YorkCity before coming to Bowdoin Shedescribed the College as unique in its
completely interdisciplinary approachto the integration of DCSI compo-nents According to Gieseking manyother schools have begun technologyintegration initiatives that focus pri-marily on the sciences while Bowdoinis seeking to incorporate DCSI in anyand all curricular disciplines
Bowdoin also hired Hall as a partof the initiative who has a PhD inItalian literature and previously useddigital strategies for the organizationof large quantities of text during herwork studying Galileorsquos library whileat the University of Kansas
Both are uniquely equipped to fa-cilitate the integration of DCSI prin-
ciples in diff erent 1047297elds at BowdoinTe College is presenting the ini-
tiative as an exciting and innovativenew curricular pursuit and PresidentBarry Mills has been keen to incor-porate the new initiative in his fund-raising eff orts Accordingly the pres-idential search committee includedinformation about the initiative ina document drafed for the futurepresident in a part of the section ti-tled ldquoTe Academic Core BowdoinrsquosOff errdquo Te document suggests thatBowdoin foresees ldquobig datardquo becom-ing as integral to the liberal arts aswriting or math
Many students believe the DCSIcourses will teach skills applicable to
the job market According to Juddthe program was not conceived spe-ci1047297cally for the purpose of makingliberal arts more marketable to stu-dents concerned about the job mar-ket and value of college though shedid acknowledge that it is a positiveaspect of the initiativeTe initiative is coordinated by
a steering committee comprised offaculty members responsible fordetermining the progression of thedepartment Te committee focuseson program development facultyoutreach and curricular implementa-tion for the initiativemdashincluding theteaching of DCSI courses Gieseking
Hall Fletcher Gaze and Zeeman allsit on the committee and Zeemanand Fletcher serve as co-directors ofthe initiative
In addition to exposing studentsto digital and computational aspectsof scholarship one of the major goalsfor DCSI is to prompt questions abouthow these techniques can and shouldbe used in a classroom settingTe Digital Humanities course
cluster of the initiative focuses ontechnological integration in classesthat have traditionally focused on thehumanities Te Digital Humanitiescourse cluster is partially funded bythe Mellon Humanities Initiativemdashathree year grant designed to encour-
age interdisciplinary collaborationRenovations to the third 1047298oor of
the Visual Arts Center (VAC) werealso a part of the initiative creatingnew spaces for DCSI classes Teserooms are stocked with laptops pre-loaded with the programs that may be
required for DCSI classes blu-ray andprojector capabilities and movabletables or desks that are designed to beparticularly conducive to group work
DCSI students have respondedpositively to the new classrooms
Kelsey Scarlett rsquo17 a student in theImagining Eighteenth-Century Lon-don through Literature course on thethird 1047298oor of the VAC said she 1047297ndsthe renovation very conducive to hercourse
ldquoA lot of these digital humanitiesclasses are pretty collaborative so thespace itself facilitates that really eas-ilyrdquo Scarlett said
Scarlett who plans to double majorin English and government and legalstudies said she took the DCSI class inhopes of being exposed to a new wayto look at literature
Library and Information Technol-ogy staff are also available as resourcesfor professors interested in incorpo-rating DCSI components into theirclasses and professors are encouragedto work closely with Hall and Giesek-ing to establish and execute goals forincorporating such components
According to Hall the Collegeplans to off er DCSI courses in chem-istry government and legal studiesand other social science based de-partments in the coming years Po-laris will be updated in the comingyears so that students may speci1047297-cally search for DCSI courses

Building a Minyan a look at Hillelrsquos Rosh HashanahBY VERA FENG
STAFF WRITER
As Rosh Hashanah approachesmany Jewish students realize how farthey are from their families but theyare able to celebrate the Jewish NewYear with a1047297gurative family here at theCollege On September 24 and 25 Hil-lel Bowdoinrsquos Jewish student organiza-
tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner
Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year
According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel
ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo
Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and
lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents
ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo
ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo
As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers
ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo
Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn
Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments
Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-
stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community
ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy
very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said
Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult

when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that
inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-
neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death
ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-
equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans
ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly
threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo
McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests
He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police
ldquoIt was an experience to see par-
ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said
According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that
they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position
ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo
Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid
Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was
Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said
McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo
Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for
the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was
Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan
Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener
The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity
and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty
Pinot Grigio itself is actually
an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio
varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape
Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a
bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the
kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that
this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert
reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should
just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now
Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and
very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red
When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle
On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo
As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle
As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet
Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo
ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet
Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the
more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press
During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used
Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While
in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began
Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art
Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth
took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces
Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom
The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god
ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-
maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War
ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann
ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann
Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect
ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-
stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann
The idea for the show came in
large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition
At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke
van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable
ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has
exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that
has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos
tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread
ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo
Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator
of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22
The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de
Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-
ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967
These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small
vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited
ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one
of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these
shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation
ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann
ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4
The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm
Many students attending Tuesdayrsquoslecture were taking Printmaking I
Garreth Helm rsquo18 a student inPrintmaking I said the lecture wasinteresting and thought-provokingand noted how much work goesinto printmaking
Lizzy Takyi rsquo17 who is also inPrintmaking I said ldquowhat he wassaying I could almost picture hap-pening because we have been talkingabout using some of these materialsrdquo
Associate Professor of Art Michael
Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster
Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing
ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

America land of the privileged home of the petulant
This summer I spent a week in
Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra
My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke
During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his
vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball
Wivesrdquo Another time I walked
into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice
On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-
boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap
I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks
I looked atthe TV ldquoThis
is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone
ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf
roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo
Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down
in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo
In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-
selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway
seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table
New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt
seems that in doing
away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine
I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the
best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo
Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of
Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it
My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo
Maybe this has somethingto do with it

ldquoNo family is safe when I sa-shayrdquo announced Mike Hadreasunder the moniker Perfume Ge-nius this summer with the re-lease of his brilliant scintillatingsingle ldquoQueenrdquo Hide your kidshide your wife hide your hard-cover copies of the NAS reportmdashbecause on his latest album ldquoTooBrightrdquo Hadreas emerges fromhis bedroom to prance saucilydown the catwalk
His previous efforts 2010rsquosintimate ldquoLearningrdquo and 2012rsquosintense ldquoPut Your Back N 2 Itrdquofelt cloistered and claustropho-bic but ldquoToo Brightrdquo shines witha defiant radiance In the past
voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a
building Now still haunted heoffers no apology
ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds
very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo
Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage
On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart
Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance
The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo
At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases
all of Perfume Geniusrsquo strengthshis evocative lyrics impeccablearrangement and tight sequenc-ing Most of all it highlights justhow powerful of a singer Hadreasis his voice shimmering and glim-mering as much Joacutensi as AntonyldquoFoolrdquo is not only fluttery andprecise but also firm and prouda balance Hadreas maintains per-fectly throughout the album
On ldquoToo Brightrdquo Perfume Ge-nius proves he is deserving of the
eponym He is able to distancehimself from the camp of discomusic while drawing on the aes-thetic of othered musicians whoturned the marginal mainstream
But Hadreas does not write gayanthems in the vein of the VillagePeople The introversion of be-ing raised as the ugly duckling ofchillwaversquos final brood still showson ldquoToo Brightrdquo Like Youth La-goon before him Hadreas takesbedroom experiences and blowsthem up into arena-sized stories

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

Playing both Middlebury and

463 participate in Common Good Day
Four hundred and eight Bow-doin students 20 prospective stu-
dents and 35 faculty staff alumniand family members participated inthe Collegersquos 16th annual CommonGood Day last Saturday
Participants worked on 50 com-munity service projects around mid-coast Maine including coastal clean-up trail work painting and indoorcleaning among others
Registration was smoother thisyear than in the past though thetrips 1047297lled up just as quickly as ever
ldquoGroups take up the majority of thespots and there are usually enoughspots for individualsrdquo said AndrewLardie associate director for serviceand leadership at the McKeen Centerfor the Common Good
For the past few years CommonGood Day and Explore Bowdoinmdashan overnight program for prospec-tive studentsmdashhave coincided andthis year 20 prospective students
took part in the Bowdoin traditionldquo[Associate Dean of Admis-
sions] Claudia Marroquin hasbeen really good about informing

prospies about the project possi-bilities and then matching themuprdquo said Lardie
Feedback from Common GoodDay participants has been largely
positive Eighty-six percent of par-ticipants found their experienceeither ldquovery positiverdquo or ldquopositiverdquo
Tory Rusch rsquo15 a member of thesoftball team worked on a projectat a local Brunswick retirementhome with her teammates Saturdaymarked Ruschrsquos third time partici-pating in Common Good Day
ldquoWe all get together have someteam bonding and help out thecommunity at the same timerdquosaid Rusch
The project entailed building abocce court and painting doors andwalls inside the retirement home
ldquo[It was especially rewarding] go-ing to the retirement home and get-ting to interact with the residentsthat actually live thererdquo said RuschldquoWersquod paint their doors and sit andchatmdashit was nice to get to see whoyou were helpingrdquo
Simon Close rsquo17 also spoke high-ly of his Common Good Day expe-rience Close and five fellow resi-dents of Quinby House went to the
Dehumidifier installed tocombat mold in Burnett
After battling mold growth inthe basement of Burnett House lastspring Facilities Management is
taking steps to ensure that the moldwill not return After sealing theroom and repainting the walls didnot stop the mold from regrowingFacilities is installing a dehumidi-fier system to keep moisture at bayTe commercial grade dehumidi-
1047297er arrived on campus September23 and will be installed before theend of the week according to As-sociate Director of Facilities Opera-tions Jeff Tuttle
Mold grows in moist conditionsand in addition to its bad smell it canbe hazardous to living conditions
ldquoSome people can have a reactionto moldrdquo Tuttle said ldquo[But] the issue[in Burnett] is very very minor andthe amount of mold in the basementis very minimalrdquo
When Facilities was informedof the issue several employees
went to Burnett House cleanedand sealed the area and paintedover the wall they thought was thesource of the moisture
ldquoWhen [Facilities] is madeaware of areas where mold or

ldquoIt was really cool to see the fin-ished product of what our service
had done and it was a good work-out toordquo said Close ldquoIt was great tosee that we made a difference andhelped outrdquo
Like Rusch Close said he foundhis Common Good Day project tobe rewarding
ldquoIrsquom really proud to be a Bow-doin student if this is somethingthat Bowdoin presents itself as do-ingrdquo he said
The McKeen Center hopes thatCommon Good Day will inspirestudents to make long-term ser-
vice commitments ldquoeither withthe same organization they workedwith on Common Good Day orsomething related or unrelatedrdquosaid Lardie
ldquoWhen we talk with studentswho are in some of our more spe-cific programs Alternative [Spring]Break for instance many of their
first experiences with communityservice were with Common GoodDay so we know that sometimes itis a gatewayrdquo he said
The religion department willrelocate from Ashby House toKanbar Hall this January Thehouse which was built in the1840s is no longer suited to holdlarge quanities of books and fileson its upper floors posing prob-lems for professors with officespace in the building
Dean for Academic Aff airs Chris-tle Collins Judd said there is ldquonostructural issue with the buildingrdquo
While Ashby has been deemedunsuitable for the needs of pro-fessors who currently have offic-es there it poses no real imme-diate threat to them Judd saidmany of the problems exist be-cause Ashby was originally builtas a residence hall
ldquoIt is a residential house and sostructurally having academic of-fices with many many bookcasesand many many files is just notwhat the building was built forrdquosaid Judd ldquoWe recognize that it isnot the best place to have lots andlots of bookcases and files on theupper floorsrdquo
Religion department to move to KanbarBY CHAMBLEE SHUFFLEBARGER
STAFF WRITER
Senior Vice President of Fi-nance and Administration KatyLongley said that the buildingmay require construction for lateruse Whether or not such changeswill be made will be decided bythe Board of Trustees on October16 and 17
board for approvalrdquoJudd and Longley were both
unable to comment on which pro-fessors in Kanbar will be requiredto move in order to make roomfor religion professors It is notyet clear where those moved fromKanbar will be relocated
After the religion departmentmoves out Ashbymdashwhether ren-ovated or notmdashwill likely houseadministrative offices
ldquoWe will use it for adminis-trative purposesmdashthat doesnrsquotrequire all of the books and fac-ultyrdquo said Judd ldquo[Ashby] wasbuilt as a house It was built asa home So it is fine for admi nis-trative purpos esrdquo
Members of the religion depart-ment declined to comment on themove However Judd said that shefeels certain the move will not have anegative impact on the department
ldquoObviously nobody likes to haveto pack up your books and movebut the College will take care ofthatrdquo said Judd ldquoThe departmentwill have a good location as theygo forward and access to good aca-demic resources So I think itrsquos apositive move for the departmentrdquo
anything that may be of harm tostudents is present we always re-spond very quickly and do whatis needed for the safety of the stu-dentsrdquo said Tuttle
Tuttle said he went to Burnett
last week and saw no further evi-dence of mold As a precautionthough Facilities decided to in-stall the dehumidifier and to pipeair into the space to keep moisturelevels to a minimum
Initially there were rumors thata boarded-up section of Burnettrsquosbasement was linked to the moldbut that is not the case
Facilities had blocked off a sectionof the basement for the safety of theresidents In the section behind theboards there is a mechanical areathat includes sprinkler systems andother tools that according to Tuttleare unsafe for students to access
Burnettrsquos laundry room is lo-cated right next to the boarded-uparea Facilities changed the en-trance to the laundry room and putup a wall to keep students out of
the mechanical arealdquoThe building of the boards torestrict mechanical supplies andthe minimal problem of the moldare completely different issuesrdquosaid Tuttle

The initiative is also attractivefor recruiting new faculty membersto Bowdoin
ldquoSome recent faculty members arecoming out of their graduate schoolshaving been immersed already indigitally and computationally richapproaches to their subjectrdquo saidDean for Academic Aff airs CristleCollins Judd Te initiative says to
them according to Judd that ldquoBow-doin will give you a platform whereyou can develop that not only inyour own research but as a part ofwhat you do in teachingrdquoTe College hired Gieseking dur-
ing the summer of 2013 as a part ofthe initiative Gieseking has a PhD inenvironmental psychology and hasworked on integrating technology intolesbian and queer studies in New YorkCity before coming to Bowdoin Shedescribed the College as unique in its
completely interdisciplinary approachto the integration of DCSI compo-nents According to Gieseking manyother schools have begun technologyintegration initiatives that focus pri-marily on the sciences while Bowdoinis seeking to incorporate DCSI in anyand all curricular disciplines
Bowdoin also hired Hall as a partof the initiative who has a PhD inItalian literature and previously useddigital strategies for the organizationof large quantities of text during herwork studying Galileorsquos library whileat the University of Kansas
Both are uniquely equipped to fa-cilitate the integration of DCSI prin-
ciples in diff erent 1047297elds at BowdoinTe College is presenting the ini-
tiative as an exciting and innovativenew curricular pursuit and PresidentBarry Mills has been keen to incor-porate the new initiative in his fund-raising eff orts Accordingly the pres-idential search committee includedinformation about the initiative ina document drafed for the futurepresident in a part of the section ti-tled ldquoTe Academic Core BowdoinrsquosOff errdquo Te document suggests thatBowdoin foresees ldquobig datardquo becom-ing as integral to the liberal arts aswriting or math
Many students believe the DCSIcourses will teach skills applicable to
the job market According to Juddthe program was not conceived spe-ci1047297cally for the purpose of makingliberal arts more marketable to stu-dents concerned about the job mar-ket and value of college though shedid acknowledge that it is a positiveaspect of the initiativeTe initiative is coordinated by

Hall Fletcher Gaze and Zeeman allsit on the committee and Zeemanand Fletcher serve as co-directors ofthe initiative
In addition to exposing studentsto digital and computational aspectsof scholarship one of the major goalsfor DCSI is to prompt questions abouthow these techniques can and shouldbe used in a classroom settingTe Digital Humanities course

the Visual Arts Center (VAC) werealso a part of the initiative creatingnew spaces for DCSI classes Teserooms are stocked with laptops pre-loaded with the programs that may be
required for DCSI classes blu-ray andprojector capabilities and movabletables or desks that are designed to beparticularly conducive to group work
DCSI students have respondedpositively to the new classrooms
Kelsey Scarlett rsquo17 a student in theImagining Eighteenth-Century Lon-don through Literature course on thethird 1047298oor of the VAC said she 1047297ndsthe renovation very conducive to hercourse
ldquoA lot of these digital humanitiesclasses are pretty collaborative so thespace itself facilitates that really eas-ilyrdquo Scarlett said
Scarlett who plans to double majorin English and government and legalstudies said she took the DCSI class inhopes of being exposed to a new wayto look at literature
Library and Information Technol-ogy staff are also available as resourcesfor professors interested in incorpo-rating DCSI components into theirclasses and professors are encouragedto work closely with Hall and Giesek-ing to establish and execute goals forincorporating such components
According to Hall the Collegeplans to off er DCSI courses in chem-istry government and legal studiesand other social science based de-partments in the coming years Po-laris will be updated in the comingyears so that students may speci1047297-cally search for DCSI courses

erage of the endowmentrsquos value Usingthe lagging average enables the College
to compensate for particularly roughyears such as 2009 when there was-1699 percent return on investmentAccording to a release published on theBowdoin Daily Sun at the close of FY2014 the endowmentrsquos three- 1047297 ve-and10-year annualized returns were 123percent 138 percent and 104 p ercentrespectively
Now that the weaker returns of the1047297nancial crisis have cycled out of the12-quarter lagging average fundingfrom the endowment for each yearrsquosoperating budget will likely increaseldquoover the next to two to 1047297 ve yearsrdquo ac-cording to Mills
ldquoYou could use that money fordebt service if you needed a capitalprojectmdashI think some of our stu-dents might say that our upperclass
housing might need some improve-menthellip Terersquos additional academic
programing we could enhance sowe could spend the money on thatTere are plenty of places to spendthe money My hope would be the1047297rst place people would think is tounderstand what our 1047297nancial aidcommitment ought to be and con-tinue to grow itrdquo said Mills whohas made 1047297nancial aid a prioritythroughout his tenure at the CollegeTe endowmentrsquos continued
strengthmdashthe result of impressiveperformances from the Collegersquos in-
vestment committeemdashis also pivotalfor minimizing increases in tuitionand fees each year Since the 2011-2012 academic year Bowdoinrsquos com-prehensive fee has increased annu-ally by just three p ercent a rate lowerthan those at most peer institutions
Te comprehensive fee for the 2014-2015 academic year is $59568 but
Mills emphasized that the actual costof educating a student for a year atBowdoin is actually closer to $80000Financial aid from the endowment isone of the key means of managingthat dis crepancy
ldquoTe 80 [thousand dollars] I thinkis going to increase Te question isgoing to be lsquoWhat are we going to dowith the 60rsquo Tatrsquos why the endow-ment is so important is to close thatgaprdquo said Mills ldquoI think what yoursquoregoing to see is that at colleges that have
very healthy endowments more andmore and more families in higher andhigher income brackets are going tobe supported because these collegesare just so expensivehellipbut yoursquove gotto balance your checkbookrdquoTe Bowdoin Daily Sun release
also reported $241 million in endow-ment gifs during FY 2014 Approxi-
mately 45 percent of the endowmentis restricted to 1047297nancial aid In his lastyear as president Mills is embarkingon a fundraising campaign dedicatedto 1047297nancial aid with a goal of around$100 million
ldquoI came to Bowdoin 14 years agowhen our endowment was less than400 million dollarsrdquo said Mills ldquoHav-ing an endowment the size that wehave today has clearly allowed us tosupport our students and families inways that we couldnrsquot in the past onthe 1047297nancial aid front Itrsquos allowed usto grow our academic program itrsquos al-lowed us to improve our facilityandso as Irsquove said ofen it isnrsquot about themoney But without the money itrsquos

Building a Minyan a look at Hillelrsquos Rosh HashanahBY VERA FENG
STAFF WRITER
As Rosh Hashanah approachesmany Jewish students realize how farthey are from their families but theyare able to celebrate the Jewish NewYear with a1047297gurative family here at theCollege On September 24 and 25 Hil-lel Bowdoinrsquos Jewish student organiza-
tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner
Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year
According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel
ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo
Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and
lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents
ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo
ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo
As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers
ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo
Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn
Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments
Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-
stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community
ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy
very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

First years took year off forfashion farming and France

Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage
ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said
Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult
ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo
Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging

Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college
ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said
Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that
inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-
neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death
ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-
equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans
ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly
threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo
McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests
He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police
ldquoIt was an experience to see par-
ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said
According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that
they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position
ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo
Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid
Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was
Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said
McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo
Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for
the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was
Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan
Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener
The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity
and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty
Pinot Grigio itself is actually
an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio
varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape
Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a
bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the
kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that
this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert
reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should
just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now
Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and
very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red
When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle
As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet
Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo
ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet
Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the
more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press
During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used
Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While
in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began
Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art
Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth
took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces
Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom
The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god
ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-
maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War
ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann
ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann
Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect
ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-
stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann
The idea for the show came in
large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition
At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke
van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable
ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has
exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that
has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos
tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread
ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo
Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator
of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22
The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de
Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-
ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967
These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small
vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited
ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one
of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these
shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation
ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann
ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4
The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm
Many students attending Tuesdayrsquoslecture were taking Printmaking I
Garreth Helm rsquo18 a student inPrintmaking I said the lecture wasinteresting and thought-provokingand noted how much work goesinto printmaking

Associate Professor of Art Michael
Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster
Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing
ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
America land of the privileged home of the petulant
This summer I spent a week in
Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra
My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke
During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his
vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball
Wivesrdquo Another time I walked
into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice
On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-
boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap
I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks
I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf
roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo
Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down
in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo
In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-
selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt
seems that in doing
away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine
I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of
Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it
My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo
Maybe this has somethingto do with it

ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds

Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance
The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo
At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases

Turner has earned her astrong reputation as a goalscorer She scored 12 goals lastseason and has retained her po-sition at the top of the offensiveformation This year as theteam speeds forward Turnerspends most of her time daringdefenders to chase her acrossthe field She purposefully runsto stretch the defense and canchase and hold the ball in herteamrsquos end of the pitch givingher teammates time to switchinto the proper offensive for-mation and

ldquoBut shersquos a nuisancerdquo Hofstet-ter continued ldquoShe has reallyquick bursts of speed and shersquosreally good at getting a touch onthe ball It happens really easilysometimesrdquo
Turner said she takes a bitof solace in knowing that herpresence opens the field up for
her new partner Amanda Kin-neston rsquo15 who has absorbedmost of the time Hofstetter hadseen as the other forward overthe last two years Hofstetterhas moved to playing centermidfield but in certain forma-tions still plays forward withKinneston and Turner or inplace of KinnestonTis helps both players stay
rested by not having to play in thecenter mid1047297eld position for thefull 90 minutes While Kinnestonlabels herself as more of a goal-scorermdashher stats are identical toTurnerrsquos so far this seasonmdashshebears more similarities to Hof-stetter than Turner Both haveexcellent technical skills work asfacilitators and are ofen praised
for their skillholding the ball

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld
ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said
Playing both Middlebury and
Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting
ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said
ldquoBut the fact that we came out andplayed both those teams fairly welland for us to know that we can stillimprove feels pretty goodrdquo
Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game
The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday

So far all 1047297 ve DCSI courses havebeen well received by students

English Major Callie Fergusonrsquo15 who is taking Assistant Profes-sor of English Ann Kibbiersquos ldquoImag-ining Eighteenth-Century Londonthrough Literaturerdquo course feelsthat DCSI can greatly benefit hu-manities curricula
ldquoTerersquos a lot of pote ntial for [DCSI]to actually enrich our discussionrdquo Fer-guson said ldquoBut since none of us areused to actually using it I think weare going to have to try to discover thebest way for it to 1047297gure into the workthat we are doingrdquoTe 1047297rst DCSI course off ered at
Bowdoin was Gateway to the DigitalHumanities co-taught last fall by Pro-gram Director of Art History and Pro-fessor in the Art Department PamelaFletcher and professor Eric Chownin the computer science departmentLast spring another two DCSI cours-
es were off ered Data Driven Societytaught by Director of the QuantitativeReasoning Program Eric Gaze andGieseking and Te Rhetoric of BigData taught by Hall
The initiative is also attractivefor recruiting new faculty membersto Bowdoin
ldquoSome recent faculty members arecoming out of their graduate schoolshaving been immersed already indigitally and computationally richapproaches to their subjectrdquo saidDean for Academic Aff airs CristleCollins Judd Te initiative says to
them according to Judd that ldquoBow-doin will give you a platform whereyou can develop that not only inyour own research but as a part ofwhat you do in teachingrdquoTe College hired Gieseking dur-
ing the summer of 2013 as a part ofthe initiative Gieseking has a PhD inenvironmental psychology and hasworked on integrating technology intolesbian and queer studies in New YorkCity before coming to Bowdoin Shedescribed the College as unique in its
completely interdisciplinary approachto the integration of DCSI compo-nents According to Gieseking manyother schools have begun technologyintegration initiatives that focus pri-marily on the sciences while Bowdoinis seeking to incorporate DCSI in anyand all curricular disciplines
Bowdoin also hired Hall as a partof the initiative who has a PhD inItalian literature and previously useddigital strategies for the organizationof large quantities of text during herwork studying Galileorsquos library whileat the University of Kansas
Both are uniquely equipped to fa-cilitate the integration of DCSI prin-
ciples in diff erent 1047297elds at BowdoinTe College is presenting the ini-
tiative as an exciting and innovativenew curricular pursuit and PresidentBarry Mills has been keen to incor-porate the new initiative in his fund-raising eff orts Accordingly the pres-idential search committee includedinformation about the initiative ina document drafed for the futurepresident in a part of the section ti-tled ldquoTe Academic Core BowdoinrsquosOff errdquo Te document suggests thatBowdoin foresees ldquobig datardquo becom-ing as integral to the liberal arts aswriting or math
Many students believe the DCSIcourses will teach skills applicable to
the job market According to Juddthe program was not conceived spe-ci1047297cally for the purpose of makingliberal arts more marketable to stu-dents concerned about the job mar-ket and value of college though shedid acknowledge that it is a positiveaspect of the initiativeTe initiative is coordinated by
a steering committee comprised offaculty members responsible fordetermining the progression of thedepartment Te committee focuseson program development facultyoutreach and curricular implementa-tion for the initiativemdashincluding theteaching of DCSI courses Gieseking
Hall Fletcher Gaze and Zeeman allsit on the committee and Zeemanand Fletcher serve as co-directors ofthe initiative
In addition to exposing studentsto digital and computational aspectsof scholarship one of the major goalsfor DCSI is to prompt questions abouthow these techniques can and shouldbe used in a classroom settingTe Digital Humanities course
cluster of the initiative focuses ontechnological integration in classesthat have traditionally focused on thehumanities Te Digital Humanitiescourse cluster is partially funded bythe Mellon Humanities Initiativemdashathree year grant designed to encour-
age interdisciplinary collaborationRenovations to the third 1047298oor of
the Visual Arts Center (VAC) werealso a part of the initiative creatingnew spaces for DCSI classes Teserooms are stocked with laptops pre-loaded with the programs that may be
required for DCSI classes blu-ray andprojector capabilities and movabletables or desks that are designed to beparticularly conducive to group work
DCSI students have respondedpositively to the new classrooms
Kelsey Scarlett rsquo17 a student in theImagining Eighteenth-Century Lon-don through Literature course on thethird 1047298oor of the VAC said she 1047297ndsthe renovation very conducive to hercourse
ldquoA lot of these digital humanitiesclasses are pretty collaborative so thespace itself facilitates that really eas-ilyrdquo Scarlett said
Scarlett who plans to double majorin English and government and legalstudies said she took the DCSI class inhopes of being exposed to a new wayto look at literature
Library and Information Technol-ogy staff are also available as resourcesfor professors interested in incorpo-rating DCSI components into theirclasses and professors are encouragedto work closely with Hall and Giesek-ing to establish and execute goals forincorporating such components
According to Hall the Collegeplans to off er DCSI courses in chem-istry government and legal studiesand other social science based de-partments in the coming years Po-laris will be updated in the comingyears so that students may speci1047297-cally search for DCSI courses
Social and Economic Networkstaught by Visiting Assistant Profes-sor of Digital and ComputationalStudies Mohammad Irfan is theonly new DCSI course planned fornext semester Gaze and Giesekingplan to offer Data Driven Societyand Hall plans to teach The Rheto-ric of Big Data again in the springof 2015
erage of the endowmentrsquos value Usingthe lagging average enables the College
to compensate for particularly roughyears such as 2009 when there was-1699 percent return on investmentAccording to a release published on theBowdoin Daily Sun at the close of FY2014 the endowmentrsquos three- 1047297 ve-and10-year annualized returns were 123percent 138 percent and 104 p ercentrespectively
Now that the weaker returns of the1047297nancial crisis have cycled out of the12-quarter lagging average fundingfrom the endowment for each yearrsquosoperating budget will likely increaseldquoover the next to two to 1047297 ve yearsrdquo ac-cording to Mills
ldquoYou could use that money fordebt service if you needed a capitalprojectmdashI think some of our stu-dents might say that our upperclass
housing might need some improve-menthellip Terersquos additional academic
programing we could enhance sowe could spend the money on thatTere are plenty of places to spendthe money My hope would be the1047297rst place people would think is tounderstand what our 1047297nancial aidcommitment ought to be and con-tinue to grow itrdquo said Mills whohas made 1047297nancial aid a prioritythroughout his tenure at the CollegeTe endowmentrsquos continued
strengthmdashthe result of impressiveperformances from the Collegersquos in-
vestment committeemdashis also pivotalfor minimizing increases in tuitionand fees each year Since the 2011-2012 academic year Bowdoinrsquos com-prehensive fee has increased annu-ally by just three p ercent a rate lowerthan those at most peer institutions
Te comprehensive fee for the 2014-2015 academic year is $59568 but
Mills emphasized that the actual costof educating a student for a year atBowdoin is actually closer to $80000Financial aid from the endowment isone of the key means of managingthat dis crepancy
ldquoTe 80 [thousand dollars] I thinkis going to increase Te question isgoing to be lsquoWhat are we going to dowith the 60rsquo Tatrsquos why the endow-ment is so important is to close thatgaprdquo said Mills ldquoI think what yoursquoregoing to see is that at colleges that have
very healthy endowments more andmore and more families in higher andhigher income brackets are going tobe supported because these collegesare just so expensivehellipbut yoursquove gotto balance your checkbookrdquoTe Bowdoin Daily Sun release
also reported $241 million in endow-ment gifs during FY 2014 Approxi-
mately 45 percent of the endowmentis restricted to 1047297nancial aid In his lastyear as president Mills is embarkingon a fundraising campaign dedicatedto 1047297nancial aid with a goal of around$100 million
ldquoI came to Bowdoin 14 years agowhen our endowment was less than400 million dollarsrdquo said Mills ldquoHav-ing an endowment the size that wehave today has clearly allowed us tosupport our students and families inways that we couldnrsquot in the past onthe 1047297nancial aid front Itrsquos allowed usto grow our academic program itrsquos al-lowed us to improve our facilityandso as Irsquove said ofen it isnrsquot about themoney But without the money itrsquos

Typically the board looks at pastcases in order to decide whether an in-
fraction has occurredldquoWe acknowledge that each case is
unique and there are speci1047297c detailsthat change the nature of each casebut we really do rely heavily on prec-edent and try to stay consistent withour sanctions over timerdquo said J-BoardChair Jacques Larochelle rsquo15
If the board decides that a student isguilty of a violation it will then discussconsequences and sanctions Tesesanctions are recommended to Fosteror his designee who can either approveor change them
Foster said he hopes that studentsread the report and understand howmuch time and eff ort is put into the J-Boardrsquos decision making
ldquoI hope that the report provides a lev-el of transparency while still protectingthe anonymity of those students whowere involvedrdquo said Foster ldquoItrsquos impor-
tant that their con1047297dentiality is main-tained but that we share information sothat members of our communitymdashstu-dents and faculty and staff mdashunderstandthe standards that we hold as a commu-nity and how those are upheldrdquoTe J-Board publishes its annual

The J-Board meets with first-year floors during Orientation todiscuss the Academic Honor Codeand the Social Code and to famil-iarize first years with the standardsset by the College
Larochelle believes that it is equallyimportant for upperclassmen to rereadthe codes each year
ldquoTake time to actually read throughthe code at the beginning of the year toremind yourself of all the componentsof it so you have a complete under-standing of what it entails and how tofollow it properlyrdquo he said

Building a Minyan a look at Hillelrsquos Rosh HashanahBY VERA FENG
STAFF WRITER
As Rosh Hashanah approachesmany Jewish students realize how farthey are from their families but theyare able to celebrate the Jewish NewYear with a1047297gurative family here at theCollege On September 24 and 25 Hil-lel Bowdoinrsquos Jewish student organiza-
tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner
Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year
According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel
ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo
Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and
lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents
ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo
ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo
As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers
ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo
Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn
Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments
Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-
stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community
ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy
very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

ldquo[We] always try to 1047297nd somethingthat will do a little bit better than [what]they ask forrdquo said Stevens
Born in Massachusetts and raised
in Woolwich Maine King grew uploving mechanicsldquoIrsquove always had kind of an inter-
est in this sort of thingrdquo said KingldquoMy father was a physicist and was a
very hands-on kind of guy He was atMIT and I used to go hang out at hislab and thatrsquos where I started makingstuff I enjoyed the workrdquo
He has been working at Bowdoin for1047297 ve years and currently resides in Bath
Stevens held a number of diff erent jobs before coming to Bowdoin
Afer graduating from SouthernMaine Vocational Technical Instituteinto 1972 he was drafed into the NavyAfer his tour of duty he worked at BathIron Works for six months before beinglaid off and from there he went to thePejepscot Paper Mill as a mechanic
When he heard about an opportunityat Bowdoin he applied and got the job
ldquoIt was the right place for me becauseI like the idea of being able to develop
designs of my own making and thisplace allows me to do thatrdquo said StevensStevens has been working at Bowdoin
since 1978 and currently lives in Harp-swell Maine
Stevens and King take their jobs veryseriously Every project must be thoughtout precisely so that Bowdoin is not heldliable ldquoIf somebody comes in here I haveto be carefulrdquo said Stevens ldquoWith the re-

BEHIND THE NAME TAGBY KELSEY SCARLETT
First years took year off forfashion farming and France
Not all students come to Bowdoinimmediately afer being admittedSome take time between high schooland collegemdashofen referred to as agap yearmdashto advance their educa-tion or gain experiences outside oftraditional schooling Tis is the1047297rst in a series of columns that willpro1047297le these students and their ex-periences between high school andarriving at Bowdoin
Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage
ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said
Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult
ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo
Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging
ldquoI just had to write my 1047297rst paper[at Bowdoin] recently and I was likelsquowait how do I go about thisrsquordquo saidLaurent ldquoIrsquove gotten used to de1047297ningevery single term and analyzing everysingle notion and organizing it morein the French wayrdquo
Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college
ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said
Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

Just afer midnight on August 16DeRay McKesson rsquo07 was at home inMinneapolis watching TV coverage ofthe protests in Ferguson Mo when hedecided he needed to be part of themMcKesson rented a car the next morn-ing and made the nine-hour trip to Fer-guson He planned on protesting for twodays but ended up taking a full week off from work and staying for nine daysTe protests began on August 9
when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that
inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-
neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death
ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-
equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans
ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly
threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo
McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests
He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police
ldquoIt was an experience to see par-
ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said
According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that
they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position
ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo
Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid
Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was
Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said
McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo
Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for
the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was
Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan
Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener
The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity
and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty
Pinot Grigio itself is actually
an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio
varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape
Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a
bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the
kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that
this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert
reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should
just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now
Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and
very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red
When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle
On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo
As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle
As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet
Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo
ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet
Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the
more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press
During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used
Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While
in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began
Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art
Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth
took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces
Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom
The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god
ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-
maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War
ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann
ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann
Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect
ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-
stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann
The idea for the show came in
large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition
At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke
van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable
ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has
exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that
has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos
tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread
ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo
Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator
of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22
The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de
Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-
ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967
These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small
vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited
ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one
of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these
shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation
ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann
ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4
The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm

Associate Professor of Art Michael
Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster
Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing
ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
America land of the privileged home of the petulant
This summer I spent a week in
Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra
My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke
During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his
vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball
Wivesrdquo Another time I walked
into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice
On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-
boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap
I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks
I looked atthe TV ldquoThis
is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone
ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf
roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo
Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down
in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo
In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-
selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway
seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table
New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt
seems that in doing
away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine
I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the
best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo
Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of
Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it
My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo
Maybe this has somethingto do with it
In Chambo Mindyrsquos themesong jingles I root around in the
cereal box mining for rainbowmarshmallows and turning all thisover in my head
Maybe I think we as Ameri-cans are so comfortable that wersquovebegun to resist safetymdashthroughwrecking balls and bad jokes andanacondas and rap while Ghana-iansmdashless safemdashare forced to clingto the safety they do have forcingthem into the ldquoadulthoodrdquo many ofus have left behind

ldquoNo family is safe when I sa-shayrdquo announced Mike Hadreasunder the moniker Perfume Ge-nius this summer with the re-lease of his brilliant scintillatingsingle ldquoQueenrdquo Hide your kidshide your wife hide your hard-cover copies of the NAS reportmdashbecause on his latest album ldquoTooBrightrdquo Hadreas emerges fromhis bedroom to prance saucilydown the catwalk
His previous efforts 2010rsquosintimate ldquoLearningrdquo and 2012rsquosintense ldquoPut Your Back N 2 Itrdquofelt cloistered and claustropho-bic but ldquoToo Brightrdquo shines witha defiant radiance In the past
voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a
building Now still haunted heoffers no apology
ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds
very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo
Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage
On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart
Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance
The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo
At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases
all of Perfume Geniusrsquo strengthshis evocative lyrics impeccablearrangement and tight sequenc-ing Most of all it highlights justhow powerful of a singer Hadreasis his voice shimmering and glim-mering as much Joacutensi as AntonyldquoFoolrdquo is not only fluttery andprecise but also firm and prouda balance Hadreas maintains per-fectly throughout the album
On ldquoToo Brightrdquo Perfume Ge-nius proves he is deserving of the
eponym He is able to distancehimself from the camp of discomusic while drawing on the aes-thetic of othered musicians whoturned the marginal mainstream
But Hadreas does not write gayanthems in the vein of the VillagePeople The introversion of be-ing raised as the ugly duckling ofchillwaversquos final brood still showson ldquoToo Brightrdquo Like Youth La-goon before him Hadreas takesbedroom experiences and blowsthem up into arena-sized stories

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld
ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said
Playing both Middlebury and
Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting
ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

ldquoBut the fact that we came out andplayed both those teams fairly welland for us to know that we can stillimprove feels pretty goodrdquo

Typically the board looks at pastcases in order to decide whether an in-
fraction has occurredldquoWe acknowledge that each case is
unique and there are speci1047297c detailsthat change the nature of each casebut we really do rely heavily on prec-edent and try to stay consistent withour sanctions over timerdquo said J-BoardChair Jacques Larochelle rsquo15
If the board decides that a student isguilty of a violation it will then discussconsequences and sanctions Tesesanctions are recommended to Fosteror his designee who can either approveor change them
Foster said he hopes that studentsread the report and understand howmuch time and eff ort is put into the J-Boardrsquos decision making
ldquoI hope that the report provides a lev-el of transparency while still protectingthe anonymity of those students whowere involvedrdquo said Foster ldquoItrsquos impor-
tant that their con1047297dentiality is main-tained but that we share information sothat members of our communitymdashstu-dents and faculty and staff mdashunderstandthe standards that we hold as a commu-nity and how those are upheldrdquoTe J-Board publishes its annual
reports with the hope that familiaritywith the information contained in thedocument will lead to a decrease inthe number of cases it hears each year
ldquo[The purpose is] to educate andincrease awareness of our com-
munity standardsrdquo Levy said ldquoItrsquosreally important for students toknow what the standards are andwhat the ramifications are for vio-lating the s tandardsrdquo
The J-Board meets with first-year floors during Orientation todiscuss the Academic Honor Codeand the Social Code and to famil-iarize first years with the standardsset by the College
Larochelle believes that it is equallyimportant for upperclassmen to rereadthe codes each year
ldquoTake time to actually read throughthe code at the beginning of the year toremind yourself of all the componentsof it so you have a complete under-standing of what it entails and how tofollow it properlyrdquo he said

Building a Minyan a look at Hillelrsquos Rosh HashanahBY VERA FENG
STAFF WRITER
As Rosh Hashanah approachesmany Jewish students realize how farthey are from their families but theyare able to celebrate the Jewish NewYear with a1047297gurative family here at theCollege On September 24 and 25 Hil-lel Bowdoinrsquos Jewish student organiza-
tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner
Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year
According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel
ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo
Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and
lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents
ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo
ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo
As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers
ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo
Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn
Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments
Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-
stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community
ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy
very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

BEHIND THE NAME TAGBY KELSEY SCARLETT
First years took year off forfashion farming and France
Not all students come to Bowdoinimmediately afer being admittedSome take time between high schooland collegemdashofen referred to as agap yearmdashto advance their educa-tion or gain experiences outside oftraditional schooling Tis is the1047297rst in a series of columns that willpro1047297le these students and their ex-periences between high school andarriving at Bowdoin
Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage
ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said
Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult
ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo
Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging

Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college
ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said
Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

Just afer midnight on August 16DeRay McKesson rsquo07 was at home inMinneapolis watching TV coverage ofthe protests in Ferguson Mo when hedecided he needed to be part of themMcKesson rented a car the next morn-ing and made the nine-hour trip to Fer-guson He planned on protesting for twodays but ended up taking a full week off from work and staying for nine daysTe protests began on August 9
when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that
inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-
neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death
ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-
equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans
ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly
threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo
McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests
He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police
ldquoIt was an experience to see par-
ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said
According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that
they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position
ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo
Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid
Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was
Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said
McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo
Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for
the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was
Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan
Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener
The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity
and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

Pinot Grigio itself is actually
an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio
varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape
Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a
bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the
kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that
this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert
reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should
just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now
Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and
very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red
When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle
On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo
As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle
As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet
Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo
ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet
Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the
more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press
During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used
Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While
in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began
Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art
Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth
took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces
Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom
The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god
ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-
maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War
ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann
ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann
Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect
ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-
stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann
The idea for the show came in
large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition
At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke
van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable
ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has
exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that
has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos
tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread
ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo
Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator
of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22
The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de
Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-
ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967
These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small
vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited
ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one
of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these
shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation
ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann
ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
America land of the privileged home of the petulant
This summer I spent a week in
Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra
My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke
During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his
vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball
Wivesrdquo Another time I walked
into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice
On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-
boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap
I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks
I looked atthe TV ldquoThis
is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone
ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf
roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo
Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down
in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo
In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-
selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway
seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table
New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt
seems that in doing
away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine
I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the
best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo
Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of
Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it
My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo
Maybe this has somethingto do with it
In Chambo Mindyrsquos themesong jingles I root around in the
cereal box mining for rainbowmarshmallows and turning all thisover in my head
Maybe I think we as Ameri-cans are so comfortable that wersquovebegun to resist safetymdashthroughwrecking balls and bad jokes andanacondas and rap while Ghana-iansmdashless safemdashare forced to clingto the safety they do have forcingthem into the ldquoadulthoodrdquo many ofus have left behind

ldquoNo family is safe when I sa-shayrdquo announced Mike Hadreasunder the moniker Perfume Ge-nius this summer with the re-lease of his brilliant scintillatingsingle ldquoQueenrdquo Hide your kidshide your wife hide your hard-cover copies of the NAS reportmdashbecause on his latest album ldquoTooBrightrdquo Hadreas emerges fromhis bedroom to prance saucilydown the catwalk
His previous efforts 2010rsquosintimate ldquoLearningrdquo and 2012rsquosintense ldquoPut Your Back N 2 Itrdquofelt cloistered and claustropho-bic but ldquoToo Brightrdquo shines witha defiant radiance In the past
voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a
building Now still haunted heoffers no apology
ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds
very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo
Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage
On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart
Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance
The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo
At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases
all of Perfume Geniusrsquo strengthshis evocative lyrics impeccablearrangement and tight sequenc-ing Most of all it highlights justhow powerful of a singer Hadreasis his voice shimmering and glim-mering as much Joacutensi as AntonyldquoFoolrdquo is not only fluttery andprecise but also firm and prouda balance Hadreas maintains per-fectly throughout the album
On ldquoToo Brightrdquo Perfume Ge-nius proves he is deserving of the
eponym He is able to distancehimself from the camp of discomusic while drawing on the aes-thetic of othered musicians whoturned the marginal mainstream
But Hadreas does not write gayanthems in the vein of the VillagePeople The introversion of be-ing raised as the ugly duckling ofchillwaversquos final brood still showson ldquoToo Brightrdquo Like Youth La-goon before him Hadreas takesbedroom experiences and blowsthem up into arena-sized stories
If therersquos a manifesto for whatldquohumanityrdquo means in 2014 itrsquos themessage of this recordmdashwersquore alla little hurt and a little beautifulHadreas claims he is ldquoToo Brightrdquobut we canrsquot look away

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action
the NESCAC championship gameand it was just back and forth againrdquo
As much as this victory seemslike payback for last yearrsquos NES-CAC title game the team refusedto get caught up in past defeats
ldquoItrsquos a new yearrdquo Pearson saidldquoWe try not to use losses as ourwhole motivation and try to focuson what the strengths are of theteam this yearrdquo
But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld
ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said
Playing both Middlebury and
Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting
ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to
REVENGECONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said
ldquoBut the fact that we came out andplayed both those teams fairly welland for us to know that we can stillimprove feels pretty goodrdquo
Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game
The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday
ldquoIn practice our big emphasisis on being better in our nextgame than the previous onerdquo
Finnerty said ldquoThatrsquos always theidea of how we work our seasonWe just build from each gameThe big hope is to just keep goingup from hererdquo

Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage
ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said
Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult
ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo
Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging
ldquoI just had to write my 1047297rst paper[at Bowdoin] recently and I was likelsquowait how do I go about thisrsquordquo saidLaurent ldquoIrsquove gotten used to de1047297ningevery single term and analyzing everysingle notion and organizing it morein the French wayrdquo
Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college
ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said
Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

Just afer midnight on August 16DeRay McKesson rsquo07 was at home inMinneapolis watching TV coverage ofthe protests in Ferguson Mo when hedecided he needed to be part of themMcKesson rented a car the next morn-ing and made the nine-hour trip to Fer-guson He planned on protesting for twodays but ended up taking a full week off from work and staying for nine daysTe protests began on August 9
when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that
inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-
neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death
ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-
equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans
ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly
threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo
McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests
He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police
ldquoIt was an experience to see par-
ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said
According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that
they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position
ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo
Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid
Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was
Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said
McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo
Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for
the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was
Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan
Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener
The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity
and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

Pinot Grigio itself is actually
an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio
varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape
Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a
bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the
kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that
this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert
reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should
just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now
Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle
On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo
As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle
As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet
Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo
ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet
Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the
more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press
During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used
Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While
in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began
Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art
Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth
took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces
Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom
The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god
ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-
maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War
ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann
ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann
Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect
ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-
stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann
The idea for the show came in
large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition
At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke
van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable
ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has
exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that
has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos
tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread
ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo
Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator
of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22
The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de
Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-
ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967
These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small
vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited
ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one
of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these
shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation
ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann
ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4
The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
America land of the privileged home of the petulant
This summer I spent a week in
Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra
My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke
During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his
vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball
Wivesrdquo Another time I walked
into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice
On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-
boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap
I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks
I looked atthe TV ldquoThis
is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone
ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf
roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo
Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down
in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo
In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-
selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway
seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table
New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt
seems that in doing
away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine
I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds

Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance
The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo
At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

As much as this victory seemslike payback for last yearrsquos NES-CAC title game the team refusedto get caught up in past defeats

But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld
ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said
Playing both Middlebury and
Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting
ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said
ldquoBut the fact that we came out andplayed both those teams fairly welland for us to know that we can stillimprove feels pretty goodrdquo
Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game
The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday
ldquoIn practice our big emphasisis on being better in our nextgame than the previous onerdquo

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for
the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was
Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan
Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener
The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity
and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty
Pinot Grigio itself is actually
an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio
varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape
Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a
bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the
kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that
this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert
reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should
just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now
Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and
very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red
When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle
On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo
As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle
As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet
Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo
ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet
Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the
more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press
During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used
Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While
in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began
Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art
Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth
took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces
Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom
The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god
ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-
maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War
ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann
ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann
Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect
ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-
stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann
The idea for the show came in
large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition
At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke
van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable
ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has
exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that
has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos
tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread
ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo
Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator
of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22
The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de
Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-
ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967
These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small
vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited
ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one
of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these
shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation
ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann
ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4
The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm
Many students attending Tuesdayrsquoslecture were taking Printmaking I
Garreth Helm rsquo18 a student inPrintmaking I said the lecture wasinteresting and thought-provokingand noted how much work goesinto printmaking

Associate Professor of Art Michael
Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster
Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing
ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

America land of the privileged home of the petulant
This summer I spent a week in
Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra
My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke
During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his
vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball
Wivesrdquo Another time I walked
into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice
On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-
boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap
I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks
I looked atthe TV ldquoThis
is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone
ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf
roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo
Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down
in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo
In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-
selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway
seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table
New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt
seems that in doing
away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine
I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the
best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo
Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of
Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it
My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo
Maybe this has somethingto do with it

ldquoNo family is safe when I sa-shayrdquo announced Mike Hadreasunder the moniker Perfume Ge-nius this summer with the re-lease of his brilliant scintillatingsingle ldquoQueenrdquo Hide your kidshide your wife hide your hard-cover copies of the NAS reportmdashbecause on his latest album ldquoTooBrightrdquo Hadreas emerges fromhis bedroom to prance saucilydown the catwalk
His previous efforts 2010rsquosintimate ldquoLearningrdquo and 2012rsquosintense ldquoPut Your Back N 2 Itrdquofelt cloistered and claustropho-bic but ldquoToo Brightrdquo shines witha defiant radiance In the past
voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a
building Now still haunted heoffers no apology
ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds
very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo
Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage
On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart
Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance
The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo
At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases
all of Perfume Geniusrsquo strengthshis evocative lyrics impeccablearrangement and tight sequenc-ing Most of all it highlights justhow powerful of a singer Hadreasis his voice shimmering and glim-mering as much Joacutensi as AntonyldquoFoolrdquo is not only fluttery andprecise but also firm and prouda balance Hadreas maintains per-fectly throughout the album
On ldquoToo Brightrdquo Perfume Ge-nius proves he is deserving of the
eponym He is able to distancehimself from the camp of discomusic while drawing on the aes-thetic of othered musicians whoturned the marginal mainstream
But Hadreas does not write gayanthems in the vein of the VillagePeople The introversion of be-ing raised as the ugly duckling ofchillwaversquos final brood still showson ldquoToo Brightrdquo Like Youth La-goon before him Hadreas takesbedroom experiences and blowsthem up into arena-sized stories

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

Playing both Middlebury and

ARTS amp ENTERTAINMENTNew exhibitions at Museum explore mythical lovers Cupid and Psyche
LOUISA MOORESTAFF WRITER
Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle
On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo
As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle
As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet
Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo
ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet
Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the
more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press
During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used
Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While
in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began
Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art
Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth
took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces
Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom
The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god
ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-
maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War
ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann
ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann
Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect
ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-
stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann
The idea for the show came in
large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition
At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke
van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable
ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has
exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that
has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos
tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread
ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo
Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator
of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22
The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de
Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-
ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967
These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small
vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited
ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one
of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these
shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation
ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann
ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo
ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4
The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm
Many students attending Tuesdayrsquoslecture were taking Printmaking I
Garreth Helm rsquo18 a student inPrintmaking I said the lecture wasinteresting and thought-provokingand noted how much work goesinto printmaking
Lizzy Takyi rsquo17 who is also inPrintmaking I said ldquowhat he wassaying I could almost picture hap-pening because we have been talkingabout using some of these materialsrdquo
Associate Professor of Art Michael
Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster
Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing
ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
America land of the privileged home of the petulant
This summer I spent a week in
Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra
My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke
During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his
vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball
Wivesrdquo Another time I walked
into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice
On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-
boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap
I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks
I looked atthe TV ldquoThis
is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone
ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf
roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo
Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down
in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo
In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-
selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway
seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table
New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt
seems that in doing
away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine
I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the
best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo
Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of
Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it
My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo
Maybe this has somethingto do with it
In Chambo Mindyrsquos themesong jingles I root around in the
cereal box mining for rainbowmarshmallows and turning all thisover in my head
Maybe I think we as Ameri-cans are so comfortable that wersquovebegun to resist safetymdashthroughwrecking balls and bad jokes andanacondas and rap while Ghana-iansmdashless safemdashare forced to clingto the safety they do have forcingthem into the ldquoadulthoodrdquo many ofus have left behind

ldquoNo family is safe when I sa-shayrdquo announced Mike Hadreasunder the moniker Perfume Ge-nius this summer with the re-lease of his brilliant scintillatingsingle ldquoQueenrdquo Hide your kidshide your wife hide your hard-cover copies of the NAS reportmdashbecause on his latest album ldquoTooBrightrdquo Hadreas emerges fromhis bedroom to prance saucilydown the catwalk
His previous efforts 2010rsquosintimate ldquoLearningrdquo and 2012rsquosintense ldquoPut Your Back N 2 Itrdquofelt cloistered and claustropho-bic but ldquoToo Brightrdquo shines witha defiant radiance In the past
voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a
building Now still haunted heoffers no apology
ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds
very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo
Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage
On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart
Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance

goalsrdquo Andrew Jones rsquo16 said ldquoStillthey were two crucial mistakes andwe made themrdquoTe team has been practicing stiff -

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
America land of the privileged home of the petulant
This summer I spent a week in
Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra
My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke
During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his
vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball
Wivesrdquo Another time I walked
into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice
On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-
boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap
I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks
I looked atthe TV ldquoThis
is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone
ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf
roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo
Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down
in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo
In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-
selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway
seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table
New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt
seems that in doing
away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine
I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the
best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo
Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of
Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it
My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo
Maybe this has somethingto do with it
In Chambo Mindyrsquos themesong jingles I root around in the
cereal box mining for rainbowmarshmallows and turning all thisover in my head
Maybe I think we as Ameri-cans are so comfortable that wersquovebegun to resist safetymdashthroughwrecking balls and bad jokes andanacondas and rap while Ghana-iansmdashless safemdashare forced to clingto the safety they do have forcingthem into the ldquoadulthoodrdquo many ofus have left behind

He decided to continue his musi-cal journey all the

His partici-pation in the
Meddiebempsters has defined hisBowdoin experience All of his clos-est friends are from the Meddies

ldquoNo family is safe when I sa-shayrdquo announced Mike Hadreasunder the moniker Perfume Ge-nius this summer with the re-lease of his brilliant scintillatingsingle ldquoQueenrdquo Hide your kidshide your wife hide your hard-cover copies of the NAS reportmdashbecause on his latest album ldquoTooBrightrdquo Hadreas emerges fromhis bedroom to prance saucilydown the catwalk
His previous efforts 2010rsquosintimate ldquoLearningrdquo and 2012rsquosintense ldquoPut Your Back N 2 Itrdquofelt cloistered and claustropho-bic but ldquoToo Brightrdquo shines witha defiant radiance In the past
voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a
building Now still haunted heoffers no apology
ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds
very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo
Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage
On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart
Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance
The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo
At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases
all of Perfume Geniusrsquo strengthshis evocative lyrics impeccablearrangement and tight sequenc-ing Most of all it highlights justhow powerful of a singer Hadreasis his voice shimmering and glim-mering as much Joacutensi as AntonyldquoFoolrdquo is not only fluttery andprecise but also firm and prouda balance Hadreas maintains per-fectly throughout the album
On ldquoToo Brightrdquo Perfume Ge-nius proves he is deserving of the
eponym He is able to distancehimself from the camp of discomusic while drawing on the aes-thetic of othered musicians whoturned the marginal mainstream
But Hadreas does not write gayanthems in the vein of the VillagePeople The introversion of be-ing raised as the ugly duckling ofchillwaversquos final brood still showson ldquoToo Brightrdquo Like Youth La-goon before him Hadreas takesbedroom experiences and blowsthem up into arena-sized stories
If therersquos a manifesto for whatldquohumanityrdquo means in 2014 itrsquos themessage of this recordmdashwersquore alla little hurt and a little beautifulHadreas claims he is ldquoToo Brightrdquobut we canrsquot look away

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

ldquoIt might be a little precocious tocall it thatrdquo said Dasgupta
Instead he called the record-ing ldquomore [of] just a collection ofthoughts over the past years so itrsquosnot like anything speci1047297c Itrsquos morelike whatrsquos been going on in my headrdquo
This summer Dasgupta and hisroommate Zach Albert rsquo16 decidedto get into the studio together andrecord an alternative folk EP whichthey plan to share with people whoare interested in their music Albertplayed the drums and Dasguptaplayed all the other instruments forthe recordings
The Circus Dasguptarsquos bandat Bowdoin mostly covers otherbands but also writes and performssome of its own original songs Theband consists of Dasgupta and Al-bert as well as juniors Harry RubeChris MacDonald Simon Mousha-beck and Shan Nagar
It all started two years ago with agroup of friends who lived in samefirst-year dorm
ldquoWe got together and started play-ingrdquo said Das-guptaTe band
likes ldquodoing [its]own interpreta-tion of songshelliplike old rock[and] songs thatare upbeat and would work at a par-tyrdquo said Dasgupta

His partici-pation in the
Meddiebempsters has defined hisBowdoin experience All of his clos-est friends are from the Meddies
and Dasgupta finds it ldquomusically very f ulfilli ng as wellrdquo

His previous efforts 2010rsquosintimate ldquoLearningrdquo and 2012rsquosintense ldquoPut Your Back N 2 Itrdquofelt cloistered and claustropho-bic but ldquoToo Brightrdquo shines witha defiant radiance In the past
voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a
building Now still haunted heoffers no apology
ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo
From this Majical Cloudz-like
moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds
very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo
Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage
On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart
Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo
The spooky spidery lurch of
ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote
The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance
The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo
At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases
all of Perfume Geniusrsquo strengthshis evocative lyrics impeccablearrangement and tight sequenc-ing Most of all it highlights justhow powerful of a singer Hadreasis his voice shimmering and glim-mering as much Joacutensi as AntonyldquoFoolrdquo is not only fluttery andprecise but also firm and prouda balance Hadreas maintains per-fectly throughout the album
On ldquoToo Brightrdquo Perfume Ge-nius proves he is deserving of the
eponym He is able to distancehimself from the camp of discomusic while drawing on the aes-thetic of othered musicians whoturned the marginal mainstream

ldquoWe started off pretty 1047298atrdquo cap-tain Colleen Finnerty rsquo15 saidldquoTey scored and that kind of put usback on our heels for a little bit and Ithink we came out a bit scaredrdquo
The team regrouped makingchanges throughout the first halfldquoWe made a few more adjust-

her new partner Amanda Kin-neston rsquo15 who has absorbedmost of the time Hofstetter hadseen as the other forward overthe last two years Hofstetterhas moved to playing centermidfield but in certain forma-tions still plays forward withKinneston and Turner or inplace of KinnestonTis helps both players stay
rested by not having to play in thecenter mid1047297eld position for thefull 90 minutes While Kinnestonlabels herself as more of a goal-scorermdashher stats are identical toTurnerrsquos so far this seasonmdashshebears more similarities to Hof-stetter than Turner Both haveexcellent technical skills work asfacilitators and are ofen praised

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action
the NESCAC championship gameand it was just back and forth againrdquo
As much as this victory seemslike payback for last yearrsquos NES-CAC title game the team refusedto get caught up in past defeats
ldquoItrsquos a new yearrdquo Pearson saidldquoWe try not to use losses as ourwhole motivation and try to focuson what the strengths are of theteam this yearrdquo
But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld
ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said
Playing both Middlebury and
Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting
ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to
REVENGECONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said
ldquoBut the fact that we came out andplayed both those teams fairly welland for us to know that we can stillimprove feels pretty goodrdquo
Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game
The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday
ldquoIn practice our big emphasisis on being better in our nextgame than the previous onerdquo

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats

Kiersten Turner rsquo16 has beenan integral part of the womenrsquossoccer teamrsquos best start in overa decade She has scored threegoals in just five games andall of them have been game-winners Two of her goals oneagainst Bates and another versus
Middlebury decided one-goalcontests Turner also recordedan assist in the Polar Bearsrsquo winover Middlebury Her perfor-mance won her the NESCACPlayer of the Week recognition
Turner has earned her astrong reputation as a goalscorer She scored 12 goals lastseason and has retained her po-sition at the top of the offensiveformation This year as theteam speeds forward Turnerspends most of her time daringdefenders to chase her acrossthe field She purposefully runsto stretch the defense and canchase and hold the ball in herteamrsquos end of the pitch givingher teammates time to switchinto the proper offensive for-mation and

Brianne Weav-er said thatteams havestarted to fo-cus their atten-tion in Turn-errsquos directionthis seasonmarking her aggressively whenshe does not have the ball andswarming her when she tries totake a touch As a player who en-
joys winning individua l match-ups Turner admits it has beenmore diffi cult to dominate in theway she has in the past

It was not until the teamrsquosthird game this season thatTurner earned a point Team-mate Jamie Hofstetter rsquo16 notedthat Turner has been frustratedat times

ldquoBut shersquos a nuisancerdquo Hofstet-ter continued ldquoShe has reallyquick bursts of speed and shersquosreally good at getting a touch onthe ball It happens really easilysometimesrdquo
Turner said she takes a bitof solace in knowing that herpresence opens the field up for
her new partner Amanda Kin-neston rsquo15 who has absorbedmost of the time Hofstetter hadseen as the other forward overthe last two years Hofstetterhas moved to playing centermidfield but in certain forma-tions still plays forward withKinneston and Turner or inplace of KinnestonTis helps both players stay
rested by not having to play in thecenter mid1047297eld position for thefull 90 minutes While Kinnestonlabels herself as more of a goal-scorermdashher stats are identical toTurnerrsquos so far this seasonmdashshebears more similarities to Hof-stetter than Turner Both haveexcellent technical skills work asfacilitators and are ofen praised
for their skillholding the ball
ldquoI thinkwersquore similarly-minded play-ersrdquo Kinnestonsaid ldquoWe liketo have the balland play fromour feet Kier-sten is good atrunning to the

often remains alone when facingthe defensive lineThe team started its season

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action
the NESCAC championship gameand it was just back and forth againrdquo
As much as this victory seemslike payback for last yearrsquos NES-CAC title game the team refusedto get caught up in past defeats
ldquoItrsquos a new yearrdquo Pearson saidldquoWe try not to use losses as ourwhole motivation and try to focuson what the strengths are of theteam this yearrdquo
But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld
ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said
Playing both Middlebury and
Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting
ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to
REVENGECONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said
ldquoBut the fact that we came out andplayed both those teams fairly welland for us to know that we can stillimprove feels pretty goodrdquo
Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game
The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday
ldquoIn practice our big emphasisis on being better in our nextgame than the previous onerdquo

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up
As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins
When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan
Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases
But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed
On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game
Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-
ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon
And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game
Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment
The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game
A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing
Pats fans have lost sight of thisin the Tom BradyBill Belichickera as we have been privilegedwith an unprecedented streak ofgreatness And yet time is runningout on the Patriot reign Brady is37 Belichick is 62 and neither willlikely be around five years fromnow Furthermore the Patriotshave benefited from an unusuallevel of quarterback mediocrity inthe rest of their division allowingthem an easy annual ride to theplayoffs Sooner or later the nextJim Kelly or Dan Marino will ar-rive to dethrone the Pats
So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

As much as this victory seemslike payback for last yearrsquos NES-CAC title game the team refusedto get caught up in past defeats
ldquoItrsquos a new yearrdquo Pearson saidldquoWe try not to use losses as ourwhole motivation and try to focuson what the strengths are of theteam this yearrdquo
But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld
ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said
Playing both Middlebury and
Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting
ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to
REVENGECONTINUED FROM PAGE 11
be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said
ldquoBut the fact that we came out andplayed both those teams fairly welland for us to know that we can stillimprove feels pretty goodrdquo
Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game
The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday
ldquoIn practice our big emphasisis on being better in our nextgame than the previous onerdquo
Finnerty said ldquoThatrsquos always theidea of how we work our seasonWe just build from each gameThe big hope is to just keep goingup from hererdquo

Both Goitia and Jones emphasizedthe importance of playing a morecomplete game and said the teamwill have to make minor adjustmentsto its overall system

Te Polar Bear off ense wasplagued with the same problemsaround the net they have suff ered allseason scoring goals
ldquoTe other thing is composureand 1047297nishing around the netmdashweneed to be more effi cient with ourchancesrdquo said Jones
ldquoIn our league every team is
known for being strong and toughon defenserdquo Goitia said ldquoSo takingadvantage of the opportunities youget is so importantrdquo
The Polar Bears will have tobounce back from a disappointing1-3 start in the NESCAC if theywant to be one of the eight teamsthat reach the playoffs They willhave plenty of time to work ontheir play with nine days off un-til their next game which will beagainst Husson
Both Goitia and Jones emphasizedthe importance of playing a morecomplete game and said the teamwill have to make minor adjustmentsto its overall system
ldquoWe need to continue to focuson getting everything right over 90minutesmdashnot 89 minutesmdashwith thatone minute being when they scorerdquo
said JonesldquoWe just have to be more 1047298uid go-ing from defense to attackrdquo Goitiasaid ldquoIn transition a lot of times wecan get caught and we need to focuson thatrdquo
Both said that if the team makesthese small changes it could be dan-gerous team
ldquoWe feel con1047297dent that our abilityis good enough to beat every team inour leaguerdquo Jones said ldquoIf we contin-ue to improve we can beat the rest ofthe teams we playrdquo
ldquoItrsquos just a matter of going back andinstilling a little bit of confidenceand coaching up some small thingsto make our game betterrdquo
ldquoI think we know what we pret-ty much need to do it just comesdown to doing it and executing itrdquosaid Mac Caputi
