Tree hundred and nineteen stu-
dents have applied to live in College
Houses for the 2013-2014 school year.
Rising sophomores submitted
the bulk of the applications, though
10 of the applicants are upperclass-
men, according to Director of Resi-
dential Life Mary Pat McMahon.
There are 200 available spots in
social houses, not including eight
beds reserved for proctors.
College House applications allow
students to apply to multiple hous-
es, so total numbers of applications
can be calculated in two ways: how
many students rank a house as their
first choice, and how many students
applied to a house in total (regard-
less of rank).
Quinby House was the most
popular first choice and received 63

stopped taking them.
Te system wasnt fast enough
for our sales, said Tony Sachs, own-
er of Big Top. It took forever.
Every time we swipe that card,
were paying. Whether or not it goes
through, you pay an interchange
fee, said Sachs. When it wasnt
working, students had another form
of payment.
Sachs explained that while it costs
him roughly 3.5 percent per transac-
tion with a credit card, it cost him
over 10 percent per transaction with
the OneCard.

round nine times in 12 years.
Forced to rebuild afer the gradu-
ation of a large senior class last
spring, the young Polar Bears snuck
into the tournament by beating Con-
necticut College in the fnal game of
the season.
No one expected us to make it
a close game, let alone win it, said
Captain Kaitlin Donahoe 13. All
season our coaches have been telling
us just get into the playofs and any-
thing can happen, and we made it by
the skin of our teeth.
For the frst time in program his-
tory, the Polar Bears are the under-
dogs in the NESCAC tournament.
I think the whole school has
embraced it, Donahoe said. Ive
had more people, who I didnt even
know followed us, come up to me
this week and say congratulations.
Everyone loves an underdog. It was
easy to look at it as a negative thing
at frst, seeing that we werent in the
top four where we would have usu-
ally been, but now its empowering
knowing that no one gave us any
chance to beat Tufs. Its bringing us
together closer as a team.
Afer clinching their playof berth,
the team had a week of rest before

team in the nation.

We already have enough frst choice
people for every house except Howell,
McMahon said. Some rooms in How-
ell will go through the lottery.
Te Om ce of Residential Life
would not provide additional appli-
cation numbers.
We dont release all of the house
numbers at this point because past ex-
perience tells us this information will
cause some applicants to scrutinize
their prospects and chances in a way
that is purely numbers-based when
the actual selection process can be
more qualitative than the [bed to ap-
plicant] ratio would suggest, McMa-
hon wrote in an email to the Orient.
Tere are 497 students in the Class
of 2016, and nearly all members of
the frst-year class began applica-
tions, though over a hundred did not
complete them.
We had 442 people start the pro-
cess, and then learned more about
it and decided not to do it, which I
think is good, McMahon said. Its
not for everybody.
One hundred and three blocks of
students applied; block interviews
will take place next Wednesday
through Saturday. Twenty-seven
faculty and staf members will assist
with the interviews, as will numer-
ous students, though the fnal count
is yet to be determined.
College House decisions will be
released the week of April 1.

Recreational drug use among Bow-
doin students tends to increase as
graduation approaches, with current
juniors and seniors reporting signif-
cantly higher incidences of drug use
than they did in the fall of 2010, ac-
cording to Orient surveys from 2010
and 2013.
Te survey results showed that the
number of seniors who have smoked
marijuana at least once at Bowdoin in-
creased to 60 percent up from 46 per-
cent during the fall semester of their
sophomore year.
Seventy-three percent of respon-
dents from the Class of 2014 have
smoked marijuana at least once, a
large increase from 32 percent in their
frst semester at the College in 2010.
Te Orient distributed the most
recent survey to all students via email
on February 12. As of Friday morn-
ing, 544 students, about 30 percent of
the student body, had responded. Te
results indicate prevalent marijuana
use in an otherwise mild drug scene
on campus.
Fify-eight percent of respondents
have smoked marijuanathe most
commonly used drug according to the
surveyat least once to a few times
at Bowdoin, while 31 percent smoke
every month or two or weekly or
more. Alcohol was not included in the
survey, but according to last springs
NESCAC-wide alcohol survey, 42
percent of Bowdoin students drink oc-
casionally, 41 percent drink ofen, and
17 percent reported not drinking at all.
Comparing these results to a similar
survey conducted by the Orient in fall
of 2010 shows that marijuana use on
campus has increased slightly over the
past fve semesters. In the 2010 survey,
based on 590 responses, 52 percent of
respondents reported having smoked
marijuana on campus.
Tis isnt surprising, wrote Dean
of Student Afairs Tim Foster in an
email to the Orient. We know this
from our own surveys. Pot use is on

said Beth Leonard, co-owner of Gulf

Tis year, the bookstore is gearing

Interviewing this business is dif-
ferent than interviewing other busi-

Leonard said. We probably wouldnt
have been able to stay in business
without the healthcare and pension
plan, she noted.
At Little Tokyo, one of Brunswicks
many Asian restaurants, business is
picking up afer a wintertime lull.
Teresa Chan, the restaurants
manager, said she notices a signifcant
diference during periods when stu-
dents are not on campus.
We realize how much we miss you
guys, said Chan.
Despite Aki Sushis location one
block away, Chan said there is enough
business for Little Tokyo.
Nothing exists where there isnt a
demand for it, she said. It was very
unusual for us to hear that the next
block over would have a restaurant
doing variants of our business. It was
just odd.
Chan added that Brunswick must
have a high demand for Asian restau-
rants.
Paul Harrison, owner of Little Dog
Cofee Shop, was pleased to say that
business was doing even better than
last year, despite the medias barrage
of fscal clif and healthcare overhaul
anxiety.
I know it didnt infuence my
thinking, said Harrison, regard-
ing the national policies. Im sure if
payroll taxes went up, I would really
notice.
Little Dog Cofee Shop competes
with Wild Oats and Bohemian Cof-
fee House, but Harrison noted that
people dont come to Little Dog just
to get the cheapest cup of cofee. Tey
come for its high quality products and
atmosphere, he said.
Harrison added that he tries to
reinvest in his company with extra
money, particularly when something
needs replacement.
He noted that he is pretty damn
glad that they are located near the
College, noting that students love to
do homework at his caf and purchase
food and drinks while they work.
Many of the businesses inter-
viewed agreed that owning an en-
terprise in Maine is unique because
there are fewer big business and cor-
porate chains.
I buy from the guys who own
the gelato store, said Big Top owner
Tony Sachs.
I go buy gelato, they come buy

The womens ice hockey team

will receive guidance in the up-
coming postseason by new assis-
tant coach Alexandra Fahey 12. A
captain on the team her senior year,
Fahey played 100 games during
her four years at Bowdoin, scoring
five goals and notching 27 assists
as a forward. During her career as
a Polar Bear, the team made the
playoffs every year, and won three
out of its four NESCAC quarterfinal
matches.
According to Interim Director of
Athletics Tim Ryan, Fahey joined
the staff in early February.
We are fortunate to have gained
Coach Faheys insight as a former
team captain who excelled within
Coach ONeils playing system, wrote
Ryan in an email to the Orient.
In early February, Holly Lorms,
the teams assistant coach, crashed
her SUV into Druckenmiller Hall
while allegedly under the influ-
ence of alcohol. Ryan declined to
comment on whether Lorms is still
employed by the College. However,
Fahey is currently listed as the sole
assistant coach on the athletics
website, and of the two, Fahey is
the only one listed in the Bowdoin
directory.
Lorms has a court date on April 2
at the West Bath District Court.

Bowdoin Student Government
(BSG) spent the majority of its
90-minute meeting on Wednesday
in an executive session. President
Barry Mills and Vice President for
Finance and Administration Katy
Longley attended the meeting
closed to the publicto discuss is-
sues relating to divestment.
BSG President Dani Chediak 13
stated aferward that the meeting
was very enlightening. We dis-
cussed divestment and carbon neu-
trality as well as ways to promote
awareness of environmental issues
on campus.
In December, Mills announced
that the College would not commit to
divesting the endowment from fossil
fuels. At a meeting earlier this month,
Bowdoins Climate Action Group
asked BSG to take an om cial stance
on divesting, but BSG decided to wait
to meet with the administration be-
fore possibly issuing a statement.
Because of the extended time
spent with Mills and Longley, the
nights public business was limited
to discussion of whether the BSG
would fund Lose Your Shoes.
The eventa combination of a pub
night and barefoot soccer tourna-

The Student Global AIDS Cam-
paign had previously organized
the event, but since this group is
no longer chartered, the students
organizing the event need to apply
directly to BSG rather than the Stu-
dent Activities Funding Commit-
tee. BSGs debate revolved around
whether the expenses of the event
estimated at $1,500should be in-
cluded in BSGs yearly budget.
No final decision was made on
the matter.

the rise in the general population
and on college campuses across the
country.
Several students agreed to speak
with the Orient about their experi-
ences with drug use on campus on the
condition of anonymity. Te Orient
agreed to this condition in order to
include student voices in this report.
Aliases were created for each student
interviewed, and these pseudonyms
are used throughout this article.
Eileen, a sophomore female who
reported having ingested molly (the
pure form of MDMA), eaten psyche-
delic mushrooms, used study drugs
such as Adderall without a prescrip-
tion, and who said she smokes mari-
juana four to fve days a week, felt that
marijuana use tends to increase within
individual class years throughout the
years at Bowdoin.
I feel like theres a group [of mari-
juana users] in each grade, and that
group gets bigger and bigger afer
freshman year, she said.
As you get older it seems like less
of a big deal and youve been exposed
to it more times, explained Brad, a se-
nior male who reported having eaten
mushrooms, taken LSD, and says he
smokes regularly at Bowdoin. In gen-
eral, you get more comfortable with
anything the more times youre ex-
posed to it.
Te trend concerns me because

ing brain and the correlation between
heavy use and poor academic perfor-
mance, wrote Foster. He noted that
staf from the Om ce of the Dean of
Student Afairs will attend Marijuana
and College Students, a professional
development seminar, on April 24.
Gertrude, a junior female who
reported having tripped on acid,
eaten psychedelic mushrooms, used
study drugs, and who smokes mar-
ijuana regularly at Bowdoin, com-
mented on the positive social efects
of smoking pot.
If anything I think smoking has
made my social life a lot more mel-
low. I defnitely drink less and just am
more of a homebody on nights where
I smoke and drink wine rather than go
out, she said.
Gladys, a sophomore female who
on campus has tripped on acid, eaten
psychedelic mushrooms, ingested
molly, and smokes marijuana multiple
times a week, recommends that stu-
dents smoke instead of drinking.
Of all drugs surveyed, only mari-
juana, tobacco and study drugs, such
as Adderall and Ritalin, were found to
have been used by more than 10 per-
cent of respondents.
You can pretty much always fnd
[Adderall] on this campus if you want
it, said Eileen.
However, according to the students
interviewed, other drugs are less ac-
cessible on campus. While marijuana
is the most commonly used drug at
Bowdoin, availability depends on
knowing the right people.
Teres a few kids on campus who
deal weed, but no ones really con-
sistent. Someone will have a lot of
weed and sell it, but theres no Biggie
Smalls dealer, said Eileen.
Norman, a sophomore male who
said he ingested mushrooms at Ivies,
and has also dropped acid, snorted
Adderall recreationally, and recently
quit smoking marijuana, noted fac-
tors such as high prices and low
quality as well.
Teres no trouble with access to
anything at Bowdoin if you want it,
he said. Although I will say its ofen
more expensive, and youre not going
to get good [quality drugs] if you do
buy it on campus.
In the past couple of years, however,
anonymous online sites such as Silk
Road have launched and made illicit
drugs widely accessible to students
who choose not to buy on campus.
Tese days theres websites where
you can order any drug you want, and
theyll ship it in ways so they know it
wont get caught, explained Norman.
Beyond marijuana and study
drugs, illicit drug use at Bowdoin is
contained within small social groups.
You know which circles do vari-
ous things and which dont, ex-
plained Brad.
I see a lot of shrooms, acid, morn-
ing glory seeds, but thats the circles
that Im in, explained Ruth, a sopho-
more female who said she smokes
marijuana a few times a week and
has taken shrooms three times at
Bowdoin. I remember being really
surprised the frst time I saw someone
snorting lines of a table in a social
house. I hadnt been exposed to that.
However, the survey shows stu-
dents tend to overestimate the preva-
lence of drug use on campus, which
may be a factor of the visibility of
students under the infuence of illicit
drugs on campus.
Tirty-seven percent of respon-
dents overestimated the number
of students who smoke marijuana
monthly or more. Sixty percent over-
estimated the number of students who
use tobacco, and
42 percent overes-
timated the use of
study drugs.
Foster worries
these perceptions
contribute to so-
cial norming.
Social norming
contends that peo-
ple will actually adjust their behavior
to what they believe the social norm to
be. Terefore, it is important that you
educate people about actual behav-
ior versus perceived behavior so that
people arent adjusting their behavior
to conform with a perceived, infated
norm, he wrote.
According to students interviewed,
at Bowdoin there are also misconcep-
tions regarding drugs and a general
stigma against drug users.
A lot of kids dont smoke [mari-
juana], theyre morally opposed to it,
and they judge the shit out of kids that
do, said Norman.
Cigarettes have a huge stigma,
way worse than alcohol or weed or
anything elseBowdoin is so big on
never judging anybody for anything
no matter what, unless its smoking a
cigarette. said Brad.
In actuality, the students inter-
viewed claimed that the drug scene
at Bowdoin is safer than one might
think.
Te culture at Bowdoin does not
tend towards blowing your brains out
on the weekend, said Gladys.
Students here like to have a lot of
control. Tats how
they got here. Tey
made a lot of delib-
erate decisions and
worked really hard,
and so theyll say
things like I dont
smoke weed when
Im in season. Its
very controlled, and I
dont know how healthy that is, but it
gets people to where they want to be,
added Ruth.
Since frst coming to Bowdoin, 24
percent of respondents say their drug
use has increased, while 54 percent
including those who have never used
drugshave not changed their habits.
Te survey results provide a small
window into Bowdoins drug scene-
-it is impossible to quantify precisely
how many students have used drugs
on campus, as this number is con-
stantly changing.
As Chet, a senior male, put it,
If I had taken the survey 48 hours
later, my answers would have been
different.
Cigarettes have a huge stigma, way
worse than alcohol or weed or
anything else.

A record number of students
sought the help of Counseling Ser-
vices last semester, when counselors
held 1,823 appointments with 291 stu-
dents, compared to 1,282 counseling
sessions with 259 students last fall.
Bernie Hershberger, director of
counseling services, said that roughly
45 percent of students visit counseling
during their time at Bowdoin, and,
in any given year, 25 percent do so.
Larger colleges and universities see
approximately eight percent of their
students in a year, according to Her-
shberger.
Of the 544 respondents to the Ori-
ents survey of drug use and mental
health, 152 students reported that
they had received counseling at Bow-
doin since the start of the academic
year. Twenty-six students reported
seeking counseling elsewhere.
Teir reasons for seeking help were
varied. Six percent said they sought
help for dealing with substance abuse,
10 percent with eating disorders, 58
percent with depression, 68 percent
with anxiety, 51 percent with stress, 34
percent with relationships, and 5 per-
cent with issues of gender and sexual
identity.
Several students who have received
counseling at Bowdoin agreed to
speak to the Orient on the condition
of anonymity; their names have been
changed to protect their identies.

Millennial anxieties
Jane is a sophomore who began suf-
fering from anxiety during the sum-
mer between high school and college.
Eventually, her anxiety began to mani-
fest itself physically, so Jane decided to
go to Counseling Services.
I was having compulsive twitching.
If I was really stressed or really tired,
my hands and arms would move, she
said. At frst it was really weird. Ten
it was really annoying. I was worried
that people would see.
Over time, the twitching turned
into something more serious.
I started having panic attacks. All
freshman fall, I was having panic at-
tacks. I didnt know what was trigger-
ing it, Jane said.
Hershberger says that anxiety has
become increasingly common in the
last decade.
Were seeing a lot more students
with anxiety issues and concerns, he
said. Te primary issue in the past
would be depression.
Hershberger said that because of
how the Millennial Generation grew
up, it faces pressures and expectations
that prior generations had not.
In your generation more than
any others, ofen families have got-
ten smaller, so instead of three or four
kids in the family, there are one or two
kids, he said. I think that always puts
more pressure on the one or two kids.
Hershberger said many students
were overscheduled when they were
younger, and that downtime was a rar-
ity. Afer frantic and successful high
school years, he said, students arrive
at Bowdoin with very high standards.
Teres just a lot of pressure. Some
of that comes from the privilege stu-
dents feel that theyve gotten in terms
of their life, Hershberger said. Teir
parents have done all these things for
them and they should now take that
and do something really amazingly
spectacular.
Tis is part of what Hershberger
called the externalization of happi-
nessderiving satisfaction exclusive-
ly from achieving goals like earning
high grade point average or getting a
prestigious internship.
Hershberger said that this external-
ization can lead to dangerous levels of
stress and anxiety.
Stress itself is not a problem but if
you dont have sustained, consistent
recovery periods from stress it be-
comes distress, and it becomes a prob-
lem, he said.
Procedures and problems
When Catherine, a sophomore
with depression, tried to see a coun-
selor last spring, she found it dim cult
to make an appointment.
Tey were like, Yeah were kind of
busy, well try squeeze you in. It was
very causal, she said. I guess it de-
pends on what they see as the severity
of your issue.
Over the summer, Catherine re-
ceived a diagnosis and began taking
antidepressants. In the fall, she was
able to book an appointment at Coun-
seling Services.
It was a lot easier once I was like
Yeah, Ive been diagnosed with de-
pression, she said.
Jane recalled having a similar prob-
lem, but said she was able to make an
appointment for a future date.
It was two and a half weeks; it was
not a short amount of time, she said.
Hershberger said his staf can only
see a certain number of students a
day, and that as the year goes on, it
becomes more and more dim cult to
make an appointment.
He said that a part-time coun-
selor recently added another day to
her weekly schedule in order to help
Counseling Services meet students
demand, but that his staf still needs to
prioritize.
We want to make sure that if some-
one is really struggling, that theyre
not waiting for more than a couple
of days, Hershberger said. Tere are
times when we triage a bit, and we
might actually say given fve students,
two of these students have problems
that are of the magnitude that we have
to get them in frst.
Hershberger said that most students
have only three or four counseling
sessions, but other students stay with
Counseling Services for far longer. If
their issues prevent them from com-
pleting schoolwork for long periods
of time or pose safety concerns, their
counselors might encourage them to
consider a medical leave.
We really have the students take
the lead on whether they want to take
the leave, said Margaret Hazlett, se-
nior associate dean of student afairs,
who oversees Health Services and
Counseling Services.
Catherine said she did not fnd that
to be the case. She said she had a posi-
tive relationship with her counselor
throughout the fall, and felt like she
was in a good place. Ten on the frst
Friday of spring semester, Catherine
went to Health Services, where she
was toldto her surprisethat she
had an eating disorder.
Catherine said Health Services
called her dean and her mother, and
insisted that she take a medical leave.
Tey didnt ask about what I want-
ed. Tey didnt ask for my permission
or what my interests were or if I felt
safe on this campus, but they told me I
wasnt a safe member of this campus,
Catherine said.
Catherine said that once her coun-
selor was included in the conversation,
the group decided that she could stay
on campus, but she was still upset by
the lack of communication between
Health Services, Counseling Services
and the Deans om ce.
Te health center and counseling
center sometimes seem like they are
at war about mind versus body, she
said. One treats the mind and one
treats the body, and they dont see that
theyre really just treating one person.
Hazlett said that discussions about
medical leaves do not come as sur-
prises to students.
In my sixteen-year experience, its
never been a surprise to a student.
Now whether a student hears it as
such, thats another question, she said.
Hershberger said that because of
their diferent functions, confict does
sometimes arise between Health Ser-
vices and counseling.
Teres a little bit of a tension that
way, he said. But thats actually a
good tension. I think that students
need that because you dont want to
feel like your councilor is going to
the side of the administration and not
support you.
Hershberger said despite these dif-
ferences, there is generally coopera-
tion between the various services at
the College.
In general if we have divisions or
diferences we start getting to the bot-
tom of it pretty quickly, he said.

Mental health stigma
Sophomore Samantha went to
counseling last spring when she was
struggling with her sexual identity.
She said she had a highly positive ex-
perience with Counseling Services,
but initially struggled to accept that
she needed help.
You dont think that you need
counseling services until something
kind of drastic happens, she said.
Samantha said that Bowdoin stu-
dents are reluctant to betray weak-
nessand said that going to coun-
seling can be misconstrued as a
weakness.
Kids at Bowdoin in high school are
in the elite class, but when you put all
of those people together, you feel like
it looks bad to show that kind of weak-
ness or have to lean on someone, she
said.
Students do not receive mental
health help exclusively at Counseling
Services, however.
Mental health is not the counsel-
ing centers domain, Hershberger
said.
Jane said she spoke with Kate Stern,
director of the resource center for
gender and sexual diversity, about her
anxiety. Catherine said the McKeen
Center acted as a source of counseling
for her.
Hershberger said that last year a
housekeeper saw a student heading to
class in tears. Te housekeeper spoke
with the student, who admitted that
she had thought about just walking
out into tram c.
Te housekeeper spoke to her su-
pervisor and a counselor was waiting
for the student when she lef class.
Hershberger said that this story says
a lot about the Bowdoin community
and its approach to mental health.
Tere are so many people on cam-
pus who care about students, he said.

Lindemann archives college treasures in Special Collections
protect, and make accessible those
materials for scholarly use over
time, Lindemann said.
In addition to overseeing the
department, Lindemann also pro-
vides community outreach, as the
collection is completely open to
the public. He encourages students
to take advantage of this resource.
While Special Collections may
look intimidating from the outside,
Lindemann encourages students to
view it as a first class lounge in an
airportbut they have a card to
come inside.
Lindemann gives students bib-
liographic instruction, and helps
them investigate the history of spe-
cific books. Additionally, he curates
most of the exhibits his department
One such opportunity was pre-
sented to Bowdoin by Hilton
Kramer, art critic for The New
York Times. As he planned to re-
tire to Maine, he asked Bowdoin
to hold his papers, and the school,
having a strong art history pro-
gram, had a curricular interest in
holding them. Without this oppor-
tunity, Lindemann said he would
not have actively pursued Kram-
ers papers.
The department also acquired a
collection of 1900 pop-up books in
a similar manner. A recent exhibit
featuring the titles was one of the
most popular to date.
The department also owns one
of the 119 existing copies of John
James Audubons The Birds of
America. Another copy recently
sold for 12 million dollars.
College archives constitute a sig-
nificant part of the collection. Al-
though many records are now digi-
tized, special collections archives
about three percent of all of the
paper the College produces. While
the archives document social life
through old editions of The Ori-
ent, The Quill, and The Bugle, ar-
chiving academic work has been
more difficult.
The Family Educational Rights
and Privacy Act protects student
privacy and limits what the public
has access to in special collections.
Because of this, there are few ex-
amples of early student writing,
which would be of high interest to
researchers.
There is typically a 75-year re-
striction on student papers, after
which point they are open to be
viewed. However, students may
sign a waiver that permits the li-
brary to make copies of their hon-
ors projects when appropriate and
provide public access to their work.
Faculty records also contribute
to the college archives when faculty
members retire. Copies of course

TURN UP THE VOLUMES: Lindemann invites all students to research in Special Collections.
Bowdoins Special Collections
oers a vast array of volumes
with what Lindemann estimates
to be 50,000 rare books and
5,700 linear feet of
manuscript material.
syllabi and records from commit-
tees they served on are can be on
record in Special Collections.
Overall, Lindemann said, I
dont think [the archives] show
a pattern. I do think they have a
consistency in showing how stu-
dents feel about their college and
the relationship between students
and faculty.
They certainly show a track-
ing over time of how social con-
ventions have changed, he added,
pointing to 19th century auto-
graph albums and 20th century
yearbooks.
On the other hand, the institu-
tional record details the curricular
program, such as the change dur-
ing the Joshua Chamberlain ad-
ministration from having students
read Horace and Cicero to learning
about science. It also provides in-
sight into investigations to create a
graduate program and to make the
College coeducational.
Lindemann said that Bowdoin
history provides a sense of self for
the college.
Looking forward, Lindemann
expects that his department will
continue digitizing more records,
especially those specific to the
College that would not otherwise
be found. This includes old edi-
tions of student publications, like
the Orient.
Many rare books will skip the
digitization wave because of the
historic value they provide.
We may be retaining a book
not because of its contents but
because of social history reasons,
he added. Who read that book?
How many people read it? These
are all things that dont speak to
the knowledge in the book but the
book as a vessel of knowledge.

brary houses over one million
books and reading materials that
students can check out, but the

Lincolnlie behind two glass doors
on the third floor.
The George J. Mitchell Depart-
ment of Special Collections &
Archives, supervised by Direc-
tor Richard Lindemann, protects
Bowdoins historical treasures.
Lindemann found his passion
as a graduate student in the his-
tory program at the University of
Virginia, where he trained as a me-
dievalist. Despite his taste for this
that epoch, he turned his attention
to library work.
I soon discovered that although
I liked medieval things, I wasnt
particularly suited to teaching,
but I liked being in an academic
environment, Lindemann said.
Library work seemed to suit me
betterPutting my hands on stuff
and building is what I like to do.
With this newfound interest, he
proceeded to receive his library de-
gree. After working in other librar-
ies, he became Bowdoins director
of Special Collections in 1999.
It was important for me to be
working in a place that was aca-
demically challenging and where
the collections I would see on a
daily basis were top-rank. For a
liberal arts college, Bowdoin has a

sight, Lindemann said.

Advanced Winter Leadership Seminar trains students for winter weather
When winter settles in the Maine
woods, most people scurry indoors
to take comfort in a modern marvel
called the thermostat. Yet for a se-
lect group of students, the arrival of
winter means it is time to throw of
cushy comforts and boldly go where
few have willingly gone beforethe
wilderness.
At least thats where youll fnd
the men and women of the Bowdoin
Outing Clubs Advanced Winter
Leadership Seminar (AWLS).
Te Outing Club also ofers a pop-
ular Leadership Training (LT) course,
where selected students learn how to
organize and lead outdoor expedi-
tions safely. Although seemingly sim-
ilar, Assistant Directors of the Outing
Club Rebecca Austin and Devin Far-
kas explained that AWLS is diferent
in two critical ways.
First, AWLS is an opportunity to
increase the relatively basic outdoor
leadership skills of LT graduates. In ad-
dition to giving them extra experience,
it lets them take greater ownership of
the BOC. In fact, AWLS students are
responsible for planning their own trips.
Devin and I really take a back seat
and let them do the planning, said
Austin. We do a little bit of that in
LT, but its really all dumped on their
plates in AWLS.
Students take responsibility for
drawing up itineraries, packing sup-
plies and equipment, and acquiring
permits to camp in state and national
parks.
Current AWLS member Kyle Wer-
ner agreed that the Outing Club staf
plays a low-key supervisory role.
We set everything up, and they
kind of check to make sure were go-
ing to survive, he said.
When choosing their trips, stu-
dents keep in mind the skills they
want to work on. Last weekend, the
program split into two groups, says
Austin.
Te group who felt that they want-
ed more practice using ice axes and
crampons went to Wildcat [Mountain
in New Hampshire] with Devin. And
then I had a group that wanted more
practice with cross-country skiing,
and we went up to the Bigelow area
near Sugarloaf.

Lindemann makes the decisions

he speaks with donors about items
theyd like to give the College and
also writes grants to assist the depart-
ment in purchasing new pieces. With
limited storage space, Lindemann
must carefully decide what is best for

SOPHIE MATUSZEWICZ, THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
Making the trek across campus is
not always a simple task, especially
when theres a foot of snow on the
ground. To survive Brunswick in the
winter, one must have the proper
gear. Tis includes a nice hat, a pufy
coat, a pair of gloves (not mittens),
butmost importantlya pair of
snow boots.
Its nearly impossible to get across
campus without being miserable
if you dont have the proper shoes.
Trust me: I know, because I dont
have the proper shoes. Obtaining a
pair of boots for winter has been on
my agenda for quite some time now.
In fact, Ive been mentally preparing
for harsh conditions since Septem-
ber. And yet, I cant seem to commit.
To buy Bean Boots, or not to buy
Bean Boots? Its a bit silly, but this co-
nundrum has been plaguing me for
months. So much so that buying a de-
cent pair of snow boots has become
somewhat of an insurmountable task.
On one hand, a part of me com-
pletely rejects the Bean Boot way
of life. I refuse to be just like every
other student on this campus; Bean
Boots are way too normative for a
girl like me. Instead, Im going to
buy something much more akin to
my own sense of style and probably
extremely impractical from Etsy. Or,
perhaps Ill invest in a pair of of-
brand boots that look exactly identi-
cal to Bean Boots, but still somewhat
preserve my sense of individuality.
On the other hand, I have to ad-
mit I secretly really want a pair of
Bean Boots. From what Ive heard,
they would do a good job keep-
ing my feet warm and dry. I want
to support the Maine economy,
because apparently thats very im-
portant to me. Ill get the sweet deal
of free repairs on my boots for the
rest of my life, and hey, I chose this
school, I might as well drink the
Kool-Aid and fit in.
Unfortunately, the conundrum
doesnt end there. Its not just Bean
Boots. As a first year, the second
you arrive on campus you become
aware of the many signature trends
of the typical Bowdoin student.
Theres the Patagonia fleece, the
button-down flannel, the back-
wards hat, the Barbour jacket, the
canvas backpack, and, of course,
anything J. Crew.
As a result, many first years have
slowly but surely started to conform
to these norms whether they realize
it or not. Boys who were once con-
tent wearing a simple crew neck T-
shirt have exchanged them for flan-
nel. Girls who needed to invest in
rain boots for college immediately
flocked to Hunter. If you feel that
this isnt the case because your style
has stayed consistent all year, it is
most likely due to the fact that you
already owned most of these items
anyway.
JULIA BINSWANGER
THE FRESHMEN
FIFTEEN
Whether we like to admit it or
not, most Bowdoin students dress
like most Bowdoin students, and
those frst years that once looked
unique in the beginning of the year
dont seem so unique anymore. Even
the so-called hipsters that go here,
who supposedly reject conformity,
all look identical in my eyes.
So do I get that pair of Bean
Boots or not? I still havent decided.
I might just let my feet suffer and
wait out the winter, because I am
afraid whichever choice I make
somehow reflects a deeper meaning
about my personality.
In the meantime, I think that
we should take a deep look at our
wardrobes and ask some questions:
Does your clothing reflect that
youre a Bowdoin student, or does
it reflect you? In loosing our indi-
vidual styles, are we loosing a sense
of our own individuality?
Now, Im not saying that you
should go back to your dorm, burn
your Barbour jacket, and start wear-
ing dashikis with leather pants to
class. This would be a poor attempt
to try and prove your own unique-
ness, and unless thats really who
you are, probably not the best idea
(remember, you dont go to Wes-
leyan). Instead, maybe you can take
out an old T-shirt from home that
you retired for whatever reason and
break it out again. Believe it or not,
your wardrobe can be a reflection
of a Bowdoin studentbecause lets
face it, you are oneand of you at
the same time.
Tere is no such thing as a typical
day for Jennifer Edwards: her job at
Bowdoin as the curator of visual arts
is one-of-a-kind.
Edwards love of art was devel-
oped right here at Bowdoin, where
she graduated with a major in visual
arts and a minor in art history in
1989. Being an art major was a clear
decision for Edwards.
Choosing visual arts as a major
seemed natural given that art had al-
ways being part of my life and that I
learned best visually, she wrote in an
email to the Orient.
At Bowdoin, Edwards took full
advantage of the resources in the
Bowdoin College Museum of Art,
where she discovered her desire to
study the history of photography.
She continued her education at Uni-
versity of Arizona, where she earned
her M.A. in Art History.
Tough she was exposed to a larg-
er range of photography at the Uni-
versity of Arizona, she characterizes
her time at Bowdoin as invaluable
from a professional standpoint.
Working with original works of
art and cataloging collections, as well
as gaining a more specialized art his-
torical education, provided the skills
and knowledge critical for my cur-
rent day-to-day work, Edwards said.
While her undergraduate educa-
tion was essential in garnering suc-
cess in her career, it also motivated
her to return to Brunswick, where
she currently lives with her husband,
Peter Coughlin 89, and their two
daughters.
As Curator of Visual Resources,
Edwards said she direct[s] and
manage[s] the development and
operation of the Visual Resources
Collection. She is responsible for
giving professors and students ac-
cess to digital images needed for
teaching and learning. She said her
days are flled with a multitude of
spur-of-the-moment issues rang-
ing from trouble-shooting technical
problems to responding to research
inquiries. Larger scale issues like
keeping up with developing visual
resources practices, data standards
and technology play an important
role too.
Edwards says she loves the di-
verse opportunities that come with
her position. She is fortunate to
be able to assist classes with vari-
ous projects, help create materials
such as books and brochures with
students, and use her creativity to
foster new ideas expressed through
images.
Her devotion to her career also
parallels her dedication to her family.
Nowadays, a lot of my time is
devoted to my daughters activities
and interests, she said. She regu-
larly brings her girls to Bowdoin
basketball and hockey games, and
said she enjoys the perks of Maine
through running and cross coun-
try skiing, while continuing her
pastime.
Jennifer Edwards is a key player
in the Bowdoin art world, and she
considers herself lucky to be a part
of the Bowdoin community.
Bowdoin is a community of
friends and colleagues, a place of
ongoing intellectual challenge, said
Edwards. Both the campus and the
Brunswick area are beautiful and
vibrant places to work and live.

is the development of these skills.
Students learn advanced techniques
unique to winter expeditions, like
how to hike using crampons, ice axes
and snowshoes, set up a camp in the
snow, and stay safe in brutally low
temperatures.
Even something as basic as
pitching a tent can be dramatically
different in the winter.
When theres enough snow, we try
not to use tents, said Werner. Instead,
they cut snow into blocks and build
snow shelters.
Its actually warmer, and it means
we dont have to lug any tents around,
he added.
Winter camping can be dangerous.
You can never forget that its
winter, said Werner. You still
need to stay hydrated, even if its
cold and all you have is ice water.
Austin explains that leaders bare
the burden of the groups safety
even more in the winter months.
Leading in the winter, the risk is
a lot higher, and thats another rea-
son the leader really needs to be on
the ball. If someone is cold its not
just that theyre chilledthey could
lose a finger or a toe, she said.
When they graduate from the pro-
gram, students can either join people of
similar skill levels on advanced trips, or
lead other students in more basic winter
activities.
We train students both to use those
skills themselves, or to know when those
skills are above the skill set of the group
theyre leading, said Farkas.
For example, inexperienced hikers
cannot be taught how to use crampons
and ice picks in a single day. A leader
who has taken AWLS can determine
when a certain slope would require us-
ing such equipment, and then try to fnd
a diferent path.
Of course, a major reason why peo-
ple participate is to enjoy the Outing
Club cuisine. When asked about the
perks of braving the snow and ice, Aus-
tin and Farkas immediately praised the
gastronomic dimension.
Austin explains that, because your
body needs more energy to stay warm,
you can eat more calories, which is fun!
You get to eat Ramen Bombs,
which are basically bricks made of ra-
men noodles, mashed potatoes, cheese
and butter, Farkas said.
Afer overcoming a day in the win-
ter wilderness, another beneft for a
Bowdoin student is a long night of
sleep. Since you go to bed when it
gets dark, you can go to sleep at six or
seven, Farkas added.

Logo-heavy clothes make winter tomatoes
a style column, afterallclothes
with logos. Yes, clothes that adver-
tise themselves are my least favor-
ite thing, and I consider them the
precise opposite of good manners.
If I can see where your clothes
are from without taking them off
and inspecting the tag, you are not
stylish and you are spoiling my
fun. If you were really well dressed,
you wouldnt need a heinous bill-
board or an egregious lump of em-
broidery on your chest or arm or
butt to tell me so. Wearing a cer-
tain brand does not make you well
dressed. A brand may make good
clothes, but a brand does not good
clothes make.
Besidesyour clothes should
keep their origins a mystery, just
as winter tomatoes do. Your ward-
robe should be mysterious and un-
expected, hard to imitate, and im-
possible to mock. So the next time
someone asks where you got that
fabulous macram coat (talk about
hard to find), you should think
twice about telling. A lady never
tells, a magician never reveals his
secrets, a journalist never discloses
her confidential sources (at least
if her name is Judith Miller). So
it is for the sartorialist: Never let
anyone see your tags but your dry
cleaner.
Still, if Joan Rivers or I ask who
or what youre wearing, youd bet-
ter spill: She might make fun of
you on E!, and I might write about
you here.
Keep your logos hidden and
your manners obvious. I just dont
care where your boring pea coat
is from and I really dont care to
see into your open trap as you
chomp on chicken you shoveled in
with your ketchup sodden fingers.
Dont be a winter tomato: no flavor
and no class, just a brand name.
Some things are hard to find
these days.
Because I am not a farmer, nor
pretend to be a farmer, nor own
anything close to almanac, I am not
talking about things that are hard
to find in the winter seasonlike
blueberries that taste like anything.
Despite my aversion to agricul-
ture (which is really just a dislike
of dirt), I must admit that a winter
tomato is pathetic on the palate.
By these days I rather mean
the modern day.
You grimace, thinking Im about
to be more crotchety than usu-
al and nostalgic for those good
old days before everyone got so
whiney, insisting that they need-
ed things like tomatoes in winter,
electricity and running water. On
that first accusation youd be right:
its about to get crotchety up in
here and youre going to like it.
As for your second charge
dont be ridiculous. Although Ive
occasionally entertained relocating
to an austere monastery in Siberia
or North Korea or doing a reverse
rumspringa to Amish country
(who hasnt?), Im no fan of Tho-
reauvian asceticism. If you know
me, you know Im more inclined
toward Wildean aestheticism.
If Im being a little literary for your
tastes, forgive me: I declared my Eng-
lish major this week. But right now,
its time for some distinctly un-intel-
lectual Joan Rivers-ean grumpiness.
Without further ado, here are the
things that are hard to fnd these
days: Monica Lewinsky (but do we
really want to fnd her?); a good
man (at least according to Flannery
OConnor); print editions of books,
magazines and newspapers (whered
you go, Newsweek?); Tupac; and
most of all, manners.
Of course, I could go on about
manners for quite some time, but
that would be impolite. Suffice it to
say that we have forgotten our pub-
lic manners, and that even if your
childhood did not include severe
etiquette training at the dinner ta-
ble between wine and whiskey, you
should know that most food is not
finger food and silverware exists
for a reason.

damn sure what field our degrees
are going to be in.

have the experience of studying at
a foreign university. It is also the
precise time when we are begin-
ning to specify what it is we will
study, and how this might affect in
our lives after college.
Now the decisions have been
made.
Of all the places I could go, Ive cho-
sen to go to Spain. Ive also chosen to
major in both Government and Legal
Studies and Spanish. Two major life
decisions (yes, I daresay they deserve
the life decision nomenclature) in
one week!
Tis is a new breed of the sopho-

grades becoming lower and once-

although Im sure some students in
their second year are experiencing
that as well. Tis slump is the emo-
tional consequence of us narrowing
our paths.
Common wisdom states that when
one door closes, another opens.
However, the Bowdoin sophomores
who have just made these two choic-

going to enter. Im fairly confdent
that I am leaving behind a career in

change of heart (a.k.a. crisis) and de-

to get through that door).

ABROAD AMONG DUKIES
Yesterday marked the applica-
tion deadline to study abroad. All
sophomores who desire to leave
Brunswick and venture into the
real world next year have made
the formal commitment to do so.
This also means that those peo-
plea reported 50 percent of the
Class of 2015have already de-
clared their majors and minors.
The planning this entails has
made my fellow classmates and
I conceptualize the rest of our
Bowdoin careers on a detailed lev-
el. When I come back, will I have
enough Government credits for a
major? Should I major in Biology
and try to minor in English? Mus-
ings like this have been common-
place among my peers over the
past few weeks.
While we are going through
these motions with our well-de-
veloped blinders on, it can be hard
to step back and realize just how
big these decisions are. Earlier
this week I was sitting in the lobby
of Moulton Union, outside of the
Registrars Office, and I overheard
a student walking out having just
handed in his form saying, There,
Im officially a biochem major.
And to think, I came to Bowdoin
as an aspiring writer.
I, too, felt a momentous weight

Since arriving in India, Ive
done a terrible job following cur-
rent news events. Id like to think
its because Im too busy or trying
to conserve my limited 3G internet
access, but neither is true. I actu-
ally like the feeling of getting away
from news; its nice to escape and
really be present here.
But this became impossible after
Friday, February 1, when a story
broke that a fraternity at Duke Uni-
versity hosted an Asian-themed
party, sending out email invitations
with insensitive and demeaning
language. Later images showed par-
tygoers dressed in costumes that
promoted Asian stereotypes.
Te 17 other students on my
Duke-sponsored study abroad pro-
gram got word of the party soon
afer it happened. Tey vented
their frustrations, and one girl even
drafed a letter to Dukes student
newspaper, the Chronicle. Two days
later, I opened my Facebook and
noticed a Yahoo News story about
the event featured on my news feed.
Shocked that the party was making
national headlines, I asked my par-
ents if theyd heard anything about
it; turns out theyd just watched a
segment about the scandal on the
Today Show that morning.
The party has been a constant
topic of conversation these past
two weeks among my friends on
the program; they were embar-
rassed and appalled. It was an un-
fortunate incident that only rep-
resents the insensitivity of a small

Being the only non-Dukie has
been something Ive been con-
scious of this entire study abroad
experience, but it hasnt bothered
me. Its only natural that conversa-
tions involving a handful of Duke
students center of Duke-related
topics. Im learning a lot about
their school and am often asked
about the way things work at mine.
At the same time, Ive been in-
cluded as a Dukie myself.

sharing it with nearly 1,800 other
students. My friends on the trip
have even adopted Bowdoin as
my nickname. And at a birthday cel-
ebration last week, the birthday boy

Before leaving, people told me

that Ive never taken a class with
more than 45 people. Forced to ex-
plain all the things I love and miss
at Bowdoin, Ive come to appreciate
them more myself.
The news story that broke three
weeks ago cast an unfortunate,
dark shadow over Duke. The 17
Dukies whom Ive come to con-
sider close friends have all been
incredibly thoughtful, welcoming,
and considerate, and the thought-
less fraternity party does not re-
flect any of their morals. But while
Ive come to enjoy wearing the title
of pseudo-Dukie myself, its been
nice to fully embrace my Bowdoin
identity.
Ive kept in touch with friends
back at Bowdoin and was especially
eager for updates during Nemos

was pretty perfect: news of Nemo

also disheartening to know that when

Student-produced Vagina Monologues voices female gender issues
Conversations that are usually
kept under wraps were professed to
a full house as 36 Bowdoin women
clad in red and black filed onto
the stage for Bowdoins 16th an-
nual rendition of the Vagina Mono-
logues at Kresge Auditorium.
Sponsored by V-Day, a global
organization that works to end vi-
olence against women throughout
the world, the Monologues broach
largely undiscussed topics about
the female body and sexuality in
an accessible and often lightheart-
ed way.
The show began with cast mem-
bers reading quotes taken anony-
mously from female Bowdoin stu-
dents.
Some statements were empower-
ing, such as, Im comfortable with
my body, and Im proud of who I
am and the decisions I make.
Others were laced with inquisi-
tive clarity of thought: Would you
really go to a social house party if
you knew that there was no hope of
hooking up with someone?
And still others were simply
meant to shock and incite laughter
from the audience: I love bondage.
Oops.
Tis frank introduction connect-
ed the Bowdoin campus to the open
and uninhibited style of the Vagina
Monologues, a technique that di-
rector Emily Ausubel 13 believes is
very efective in addressing issues
of female sexuality, body image and
sexual abuse to a college audience.
Throughout the school year,
student groups like Safe Space,
Bowdoin Womens Association, V-
Day, Body Speak and BMASV deal
with issues concerning the hookup
culture on campus, whether it be
preventing sexual assault or pro-
moting healthy body image. The
Monologues condenses these is-
sues into an hour-long program
that offers fresh perspectives from
beyond the bounds of Bowdoin.
The language and directness
used, they are not conversations or
ways that you would normally have
a conversation, said Ausubel. It
brings [the issue] right out there
to the forefront, with no tiptoeing
around it.
Ausubel has been involved in the
Monologues during all four years
of her college career, two years as a
performer and two years as a direc-
tor. This year, she co-directed the
performance with Lydia Singerman
13, Xanthe Demas 15, and Callie
Ferguson 15.
When asked to name her favorite
monologue, Ausubel turned to Te
Flood, a story told by a spunky, el-
derly woman who loses confdence
in her sexuality afer an embarrassing
incident as a teenager.
Its moving, but also witty, and
just fun, and from that you can re-
ally understand how the Vagina
Monologues can have an impact
on people, said Ausubel. Its very
representative about how women
are silent about so many of these
issuesit is important to let them
speak about them.
Ausubel cited how, in this way,
campaigning through theater is an
efective vehicle for conversation. It
also enables performers to be less in-
hibited than they might normally be
when addressing these issues.
I dont feel like Im breaking a code
with myself, said Tasha Sandoval 13,
who performed the monologue, Te
Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas
Happy, a piece that features a sex
worker who is particularly enthusi-
astic about moaning. Putting myself
in this mindset and knowing that Im
exaggerating makes it easier to throw
myself into the part and be dramatic.
However, despite the many light-
hearted moments, the Monologues
are not without their dark themes.
Issues like female genital mutilation
and rape are addressed with Not-
So-Happy Facts that performers
report in a deliberate and solemn
manner under a dim spotlight.
There has been some talk about
creating an equivalent performance
for men, the Penis Monologues,
if you will, to which Ausubel feels
ambivalent.
Its complex, she said. Te ex-
periences that are addressed in the
monologues do happen to women,
and men go through a lot of issues
around their gender as well, but I
think its [a little bit] of the dominant
group feeling sad because theyre not
represented, when the whole point is
for the more oppressed groupif you
want to use an extreme wordto get
their voice out.
On the other hand, Ausubel said,
Why not have their voice and sto-
ries be heard as well? I wouldnt
want it to be a competition: the
Penis Monologues vs. the Vagina
Monologues. But if it ended up get-
ting more men interested in going
to the Vagina Monologues, won-
derful. I think women need to hear
guys perspectives as well.
The Monologues hold auditions,
but everyone who tries out gets a
part in the show. Ausubel says that
participation generally ranges from
about 30 to 40 women, except in
2011, when 80 women auditioned.
I really encourage everyone to be
in the show at least once, she said.
Really dedicating yourself to a show
like this and understanding that you
are part of a global movement for
womens rights is a very empowering
feeling and you end up bonding with
all these other women on campus you
might not have necessarily gotten to
know otherwise.
Although the Monologues arent
the words of Bowdoin students
themselves, they address issues
that are universal on all college
campuses. As the performers say at
the beginning of the show, We are
Bowdointhese are our stories.

Musical elements run amok in Atoms for Peaces debut album
HIPSTER DRIVEL
MATT GOODRICH
Now heres a hard one. Though,
as I kept having to remind myself
while wading through this albums
murky depths, if it had been easy,
Thom Yorkenotably of Radio-
headwouldnt have made it.
The record in question is
AMOK, the debut record of Atoms
for Peace, one of those supergroups
that refuses to call itself a super-
group. The band takes its name
both from a 1953 speech by Presi-
dent Eisenhower and a song title on
Yorkes 2006 album, The Eraser.
The musicians that comprise the
band were even commissioned to
play Yorkes solo material live, for
which Atoms for Peace were origi-
nally billed as Thom Yorke???
during Coachella in 2010.
This naming makes sense:
AMOK sounds like a vanity proj-
ect of Yorke, his ethereal whisper
the cohesive element to the al-
bums otherwise frenetic electronic
jumble. Normally, vanity projects
represent the worst work of an art-
ist looking for vindication outside
a certain genre. In the hands of
anyone but musics greatest living
crotchety-bastard legend, AMOK
would be an album of pathetic ex-
cess. Instead, we get an impenetra-
ble piece filled with jumbled beeps
on a time signature even Battles
would have a hard time keeping up
with. My first bit of advice: listen to
this with headphones in. The sec-
ond bit: dont expect a Radiohead
album.
Tis is harder than it seems. Te
shum e of Default sounds like a
tripped-out version of the already
tripped-out In Rainbows opener,
15 Step. Stuck Together Pieces
has a guitar jangle reminiscent of the
soothing melody of Reckoner. And
what ties it all together is Yorkes
voice, the angelic falsetto that every
adolescent whos ever felt marginal-
ized has come to associate with sol-
ace in the face of alienation.
After all, AMOK is produced
by Nigel Godrich, the wizard be-
hind every Radiohead masterpiece
since OK Computer and The
King of Limbs. At its most self-
indulgent, AMOK plays like the
little brother of TKOL who has
been listening to too much house
music. The seething mass of lay-
ered vocals, muted hand claps, and
electronic bloops gives the record
a cold and inorganic feel with no
easy entry points for listening (and
without the I-for-one-welcome-
our-new-robot-overlords despair
of Kid A, either).
There are a lot of apt metaphors
for the dense tex-
tures of AMOK.
The bands website
,from which I am
streaming the album,
for instance, features
warped images of
web pages having
seizures against a
black background,
which could be a
music video for the
equally schizophrenic
song Unless. I have
half a mind to start
the rumor that this
music inspired Tom
Yorkes infamous
marionette dance in
Lotus Flower. Al-
ternatively, one could
describe AMOK as
the melodic equiva-
lent of Donnies ADD
jabber from Te
Wild Tornberrys
voiced by none other
than Flea, Atoms for
Peaces bassist.
This indeed might have been
Fleas greatest contribution. His
funky basslines, which make any
Red Hot Chili Peppers song in-
stantly listenable, are all but absent
on AMOK. I wanted to hear Flea
play his version of The National
Anthem or I Might Be Wrong,
wielding his bass as only he knows

how. But that would be too easy:
Yorke hired Flea and then relegated
him to the background to explore
texture over rifs.
The result is an album that
sounds like it was produced by a
series of loops, not living, breath-
ing members of Radiohead, the
Red Hot Chili Peppers, and R.E.M.
Yorke confounds our expectations
again, making us reconsider what
it means to be a band when youre
so on-tempo that you sound arti-
ficial. But Yorke has written songs
that even as mechanized itches
draw you back in for additional lis-
tens. AMOK is many thingsbut
boring is not one of them.

PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST
Audrey Blood 13
AARONWOLF, THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
BY MICHELLE HONG
STAFF WRITER
Since stumbling upon her
calling, Audrey Blood 13, visu-
al arts major and music minor,
has fallen head over heels for the
visual arts.
Until taking her frst visual arts
course at Bowdoin, Blood had not
even considered taking up art.
In high school I wanted to
pursue music, she said. I always
thought that I would go into the
performing arts.
Tat all changed afer taking a
sculpture class her sophomore year.
I kind of just fell in love with
it, she said. I kind of realized
that it was really true to how I
observe the world, this part of
myself that I hadnt recognized
before I came to Bowdoin.
In her work, Bloods subject
matter is ofen more instinctive
than intentional. A tactile expe-
rience inspired a project she de-
veloped for her senior seminar.
I just started hammering pins
into Masonite because it felt re-
ally good to do, she said. I think
a lot of time what I end up mak-
ing just comes from following a
gut feeling. Like, I feel like paint-
ing right now or I feel like nailing
things, Im just going to go with
it. Sort of listening to that more
visceral experience.
Te experiment developed un-
til it resulted in a seven by seven
foot wood panel with approxi-
mately 10,000 pins protruding
from the surface.
Blood typically does not ana-
lyze her work until it is done,
but in retrospect she can usually
draw connections between the
fnished product and her per-
sonal life.
It always comes out of what
Im feeling. I dont necessary in-
tellectualize going into a proj-
ect, she said. I think I tend to
do more abstract things that
touch on what Im experiencing
at the time.
To Blood, the beauty of her
experience is not just in the fnal
product but also in the process,
as in the case of her Masonite-
turned-pincushion.
It was about lighting in par-
ticular, looking at shadow, sur-
face and feld, she said. It was
important to me that it was this
really repetitive, obsessive, kind
of brutal and time-consuming
thing that I had to make.
In terms of a preferred me-
dium, Blood said she is particu-
larly inspired by printmaking.
She discovered this afer taking
Printmaking I during the spring
semester of her junior year.
Recently, Blood has done a
lot of work through the Marvin
Bileck Printmaking Project. Tis
program brings master print-
makers to the College to collabo-
rate with students to produce an
edition of prints. Blood has been
involved in projects with several
of these professionals, including
Liz Chalfn and Peter Pettengill
(See Pettengill article, page 10).
Bloods creative interests are
not limited to the realm of visu-
al arts. She also plays cello, sings
in Bella Mafia, and dances in
fellow senior Natalie Johnsons
independent study.
She considers her collabora-
tion with other students integral
to her creative development.
Te independent study ended
up being this really incredible
creative experience that came out
of being with my peers who love
dance, said Blood.
Bloods three main interests
visual arts, music and dance
have overlapped and enhanced
each other.
I think this year in particu-
lar Ive been able to let my music
inform my creative process in
dance, she said. Ten that also
informs visual arts. Ive gotten
to let all three of those forms of
my creative process talk to each
other. I think thats really spe-
cial and has helped me learn a lot
about myself.
Tis semester, Blood has also
noticed crossover between what
she has learned in science and
art classes. She cites the upcom-
ing Per Kirkeby exhibit at the
Bowdoin College Museum of
Art. Kirkeby is a Danish painter
whose subject matter is ground-
ed in geology. Blood has also
learned about color theory in
physics classes.
She commends the College for
its ability to seamlessly interweave
various academic disciplines.
Thats something unique to
Bowdoin that Im really fortu-
nate to be able to take advantage
of, she said. Im in classes with
a lot of people who are biology
majors or history majors, and
everyone brings something dif-
ferent to the table.
What Blood appreciates most
about the arts community at
Bowdoin is its collaborative spirit.
Everyones doing really per-
sonal work, but its in an open
space, she said. We get to see
each others creative process,
watch each other grow, see what
people produce over time, and
see what people are thinking
about when theyre working.
In addition to her Bowdoin
courses, Blood has studied
abroad in Argentina and Den-
mark, where she took courses
in urban planning, industrial
design, and architecture. Afer
graduation, she is considering a
career in printmaking, public art
or design.
While my fellow socialites trudged
through the snow to the Cold War
Party to get out their historico-politi-
cal ya-yas for the year, I decided to top
of a Winter Weekend full of sleigh
rides and smores with a movie about
one familys harrowing saga of near-
death trauma and third-world hospi-
tal nightmares. Why not?
Just watching the trailer for The
Impossible gave me a lump in my
throat, so I had an inkling that I
might be in for an emotional eve-
ning. I came prepared with tissues
in hand and the proverbial water-
proof mascara.
In my case, the waterworks kicked
in afer the 19-minute mark. And, un-
like your average tear-jerker which al-
lows for the occasional break to catch
your breath, Te Impossible was an
emotional sprint all the way through.
With the sweeping, violin-heavy
soundtrack and sequences of mud-
died and battered survivors calling
out to their families, I never stood a
chance. Luckily, I enjoy a good hour
and forty-seven minute sobfest every
once in a while.
Nevertheless, I would caution that
some might leave this movie emotion-
ally drained and vowing never to say
in a minute or maybe tomorrow, to
your loved ones ever again.
Te Impossible recounts the
true story of a Spanish family of
fve who spent Christmas of 2004
at a resort in Phuket, Tailand. Te
next morning, an earthquake with
the force of 23,000 atomic bombs
caused a tsunami that devastated a
huge regionprimarily in Southeast
Asia. However, its path of destruc-
tion reached as far as Tanzania and
killed over 200,000 people.
Te family, separated by the turmoil
and coping with severe injuries, chal-
lenge the unfavorable odds to search
for each other amidst the ruin. In do-
ing so, they have inspiring encounters
with other survivors and interactions
with the Tai healthcare system that
make you appreciate the luxury of the
local ER.
Tis movie has a lot going for it
that is, based on what I could make
out through my blurred vision and
from what I could hear over my own
shameless nose-blowing.
Te story is undeniably incredible,
simply because of the unbelievable
circumstances. Tere is no catch or
plot twist that makes this particular
familys story especially worthy of a
feature flm aside from the fact that
they did, in fact, live.
Based on interviews with the ac-
tual family, it seems that the screen-
writers tied the story closely to the
real events, a choice that I deeply
appreciate in a dramatization of this
kind. Tat saidand perhaps for
this very reasonthere is nothing
remarkable about the screenplay or
plot development.
Te flm is beautiful to watch, de-
spite the widespread destruction.
Much of the flm was shot in Tailand,
including some scenes at the newly re-
built but yet unopened hotel in which
the family actually stayed.
Te landscape is spectacular and
the flmmakers used impressive vi-
sual and auditory efects to create a
gut-wrenching sense of being thrown
around under the gigantic waves and
crushing debris.
Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor,and
the young actors playing their three
sons all give commendable per-
formances (bonus points to the
younguns for being so gosh darn
cute). Equally praiseworthy is the
flmmakers ability to make such
remarkably good-looking people
appear seriously worse for wear. In
fact, a bloodied Watts has one scene
that is so gruesome it evokes fashes
of Te Ring, Watts well-known
horror movie.
Te genre of flms that dramatize
relatively recent tragedies (think Zero
Dark Tirty) faces an obvious chal-
lenge: how do you tell an interesting,
engaging story when everyone knows
the ending? Going into this movie, ev-
eryone knows on some level that the
family will survive the initial disaster,
because otherwise there would be no
story to tell.
Even so, the feat of visually bringing
to life this inconceivable catastrophe
and telling such a poignant, afecting
story led me to forgive the flms lack
of ingenuity.
Te Impossible was almost exact-
ly what I expected it to be. And while
some might consider this a disap-
pointment, sometimes all you want is
a movie that makes you cry your face
of but still fnd yourself uplifed at
the end of it all.

Tournes lm festival surveys award-winning French cinema
Long, aesthetically jarring scenes,
unconventional plot lines, and abrupt
endings are what really distinguish
French cinema from its less daring
American counterpart.
Tis week, a survey of French cin-
ema rolled through the Bowdoin cam-
pus with the Tournes Festival.
Te festival, a program of FACE
(French American Cultural Exchange),
is overseen by the Cultural Services at
the French Embassy that provides ac-
cess to French language flms to col-
leges and universities throughout the
country.
While the festival has been active for
17 years, Bowdoin did not become in-
volved until 2012, when the members
of the romance languages department
organized the festival.
We in the romance languages de-
partment see it as a perfect opportunity
to ofer our students and our college
communitybut also the wider Bruns-
wick communitya vibrant illustration
of exciting new flm projects, wrote As-
sociate Professor of Romance Languag-
es Hantha Vete-Congolo in an email to
the Orient. We also see this as a great
opportunity to supplement our courses
and reinforce them with another di-
mension of French culture.
One of the festivals greatest
strengths is the variety of flms it
ofers. Bowdoins festival will run
through tomorrow evening and in-
clude fve flms, all which will be fol-
lowed by facilitated discussions.
We use flms in our courses ex-
tensively, said Vete-Congolo. But a
festival is special with several movies
shown in a week, watched by many
at a time. Te movies develop ideas,
notions, subject matters that we deal
with in our courses. Students have
the opportunity to explore topics
they are familiar with but from new
angles.
French major Ryan Larochelle 13
agreed that the festival adds another
dimension to his experience of the
French world.
Te festival draws students from all
levels of French, professors both within
and outside of the department, and
even friends and community members
who may or may not have particular
strong ties to the language, wrote Laro-
chelle in an email to the Orient. With
such a diverse audience, we are able to
see many diferent viewpoints and have
an stimulating discussion.
While all fve flms grapple with se-
rious topics, the subject matters range
widely. Tomboy, a 2011 flm by Cline
Sciamma that showed on Wednesday,
tells the story of a 10-year old girl who
takes her familys recent move into a
new town as an opportunity to assume
a male identity.
Te flm takes its presumably more
mature audience on a trip down mem-
ory lane to childhood innocence. With
its intimate camera angles and efort-
less ability to capture a genuine sense of
childhood, Tomboy allows its viewers
to slip into a playful nostalgia, despite
the ever-present anxiety that the pro-
tagonists cover will be revealed. While
the flm is shown through a childs per-
spective, it tackles heavy issues relating
to gender norms, childhood sexuality
and social limitations.
Te flms inspire meaningful dis-
cussions that typically ft well into the
context of the courses ofered in the
[French] department, wrote Laro-
chelle. [My] seminar on corporeality
in French literature throughout histo-
ry is currently discussing gender, sex
and sexuality, so this flm was a great
way to see many of the themes we dis-
cuss in action.
In keeping with the educational na-
ture of the festival, each flm is followed
by a discussion facilitated by a Bowdoin
faculty or staf member. Assistant Pro-
fessor of Education Doris Santoro led
the discussion afer Tomboy. San-
toro discussed the politics of child-
hood gender experimentation, draw-
ing on aspects of the course she taught
last semester, Gender and Sexuality in
Schooling.
e festival runs until Saturday eve-
ning. Here is a full schedule of upcoming
lms:
Curling: Friday at 7 p.m. in Kresge
Auditorium (discussion moderated
by Visiting Assistant Professor of Ro-
mance Languages Jay Ketner).

Master printer Peter Pettengill to partner with Putnam
Next week the College will
launch its annual Marvin Bileck
Printmaking Project under the di-
rection of Coastal Studies Artist-
in-Residence Barbara Putnam and
master printer Peter Pettengill.
The Marvin Bileck Printmak-
ing Project was established by
artist Emily Nelligan in memory
of her late husband. The project
brings one printmaker from out of
state each year to work with a lo-
cal Maine artist in Bowdoin class-
rooms. This gives students the op-
portunity to watch professionals at
work, as well as to practice pulling
some prints themselves.
As the guest of honor this year,
Pettengill has worked with numer-
ous well-known artists, including
Louise Bourgeois, Walton Ford,
Neil Welliver and Gideon Bok.
On Monday, Pettengill gave a lec-
ture in the Beam Classroom on his
experience as a master printer and
collaborator. Although his work is
process intensive, he does not con-
sider himself an artist. Rather, he
works to help artists realize their
creative goals through print.
I would never claim any of this work
as my own, he said. Tough it could
not come to be without my helpthis
process is called collaboration.
Pettengill works most often with
painters, and emphasizes the dis-
tinctness of his work from theirs.
Making prints is not the same
as painting, he said. There is pro-
cess; things slow down.
Pettengill began his work in Cal-
ifornia at the Crown Point Press in
1979 and returned to New Hamp-
shire in 1985 to found Wingate Stu-
dio, where he continues to work to-
day. Many artists bring their work
directly to his studio and etch un-
der his supervision.
This spring, Pettengill will as-
sist Barbara Putnam in Bowdoins
printmaking studio. Putnam teach-
es two printmaking courses and
will be practicing etching in class
with Pettengills help.
Putnam, who is primarily a wood-
block printer, had never etched be-
fore the collaboration began.
It opened up a whole other av-
enue for me as an artist, she said,
like all of a sudden working with
your left hand when youve always
worked with your right.
She says she is excited to begin
working in front of her class, though
she admits to feeling a little jittery
about the attention she will receive.
This is their revenge for home-
work, she said.
Putnam will sketch and etch
her piece, and then Pettengill will
BY ELENA BRITOS
STAFF WRITER
help her with color and printing.
She describes Pettengills role in
the process as having a sense of
directing, almost like stage direc-
tion. Its a wonderful experience of
removing my guesswork.
Pettengill says he is glad to help
out in any way he can.
Printmakers are used to being
the background people and are
proud of what they do, he said.
His work can be found in the Mu-
seum of Modern Art, the Fogg Mu-
seum, the Library of Congress and
the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
among other venues.
Pettengill says that the print-
making process is more methodi-
cal and time-consuming than many
other art mediums, and because of
these, he only produces three or
four pieces a year.
With this in mind, Pettengills
relatively short residency as Bowdoin
could pose a procedural challenge.
One of the dim culties in college
print workshops is the shortness of
time, he said.
Refecting upon a completed proj-
ect at Smith College, he said, It was a
kind of miracle it always is, I think.
Pettengill has also collaborated
with printers at Amherst College
and the Hartford Art School.
Pettengill and Putnam acknowl-
edge that their collaboration will be
a teaching and learning experience
for both of them. Each is an expert of
their craf, yet they must cooperate in
order to produce successful prints.
I dont think I can say enough
about the amount of faith it takes to go
through this process, said Pettengill.
Despite the inevitable difficul-
ties of collaboration, Putnam says
she feels ready for the challenge.
I say super! Its a totally new
experience.

Mens hockey seals NESCAC rst seed with best record in 24 years
BY LUKE LAMAR
ORIENT STAFF
The mens ice hockey team
clinched the No. 1 seed in the
NESCAC tournament by winning
its final two home games of the
regular season this past weekend
against Tufts and Connecticut
College. Despite its strong finish
in Watson Arena, the team floun-
dered at Trinity on Monday night,
losing 10-5.
Bowdoin kicked off the Winter
Weekend schedule against Tufts
at home on Friday night. The Po-
lar Bears scored their first goal
just 1:19 into the game when Ollie
Koo 14 slammed a loose rebound
past the Tufts goaltender. Bowdoin
kept up the early pressure and Kyle
Lockwood 14 was able to steal
the puck and dish it to senior Rob
Tocyzlowski, who put it past the
goalies left side.

No. 17 womens squash
wins rst Walker Cup title
BY ALEX MARECKI
STAFF WRITER
Te womens squash team won the
National C Division championship
at Yale University this past weekend.
Te Polar Bears recorded three wins
on their way to a perfect weekend,
the programs frst-ever champion-
ship win in the Walker Cup.
The Walker Cup is the cham-
pionship for teams within the C
Division of the College Squash As-
sociation. In collegiate squash, the
teams ranked 1-24 are all divided
into three different divisions based
on rank. Teams 1-8 play in the A
Division, 9-16 play in B and 17-24
play in C.
The squad faced tough opposi-
tion that has silenced them in pre-
vious years. The women began by
defeating Colby 8-1 on Friday, and
then overwhelmed both Hamilton
and Wesleyan in two breathtaking
5-4 victories to win the division.
Senior Monica Wlodarczyk was
pivotal in the teams success this
weekend, winning all three of her
matches at the No. 5 position.
As a graduating senior, this was
the ultimate finale in terms of a last
nationals for me, she said. We beat
Hamilton, who we have not beaten
in my time playing here, and we
beat Wesleyan, who we have always
fallen to at Nationals.
Sophomores Alden Drake and
Sara Wlodarczyk also won all of
their matches during the Walker
Cup championships as the No. 4
and No. 6 players, respectively.
Drake said she that was very
pleased with the Polar Bears per-
formances this weekend.
I think that the team pre-
formed very well, especially under
moments of pressure, she said.
We came together as one cohe-
sive unit, which enabled us to win
victories over two teams that had
beaten us a week prior.
The women finished No. 17 in
the nation, their best finish at Na-
tionals since 2003. The team will
likely play in the B Division next
year, marking a new challenge for
the team.
Sara Wlodarczyk is excited
about the squads accomplish-
ments this season and is looking
forward to improving as a team in
the future.
Although Im going to miss
the seniors dearly, I think were
all pumped to hopefully graduate
from the Cs and move up to the
Bs, she said. We definitely have
tons of potential, and I think were
just tapping into it.
Sophomores Torrey Lee and Ra-
chel Barnes, Bowdoins No. 1 and
No. 2 players respectively, both
received NESCAC honors for their
outstanding play this year. Lee
scored a record of 5-12 against the
toughest competition in the sea-
sons tournmanents, while Barnes
went 11-8, including two crucial
wins during the teams chase for
the Walker Cup.
The mens team will travel today
to Yale, where they will compete
for the Summers Cup.

Colin Downey 14 kept the ear-
ly-period goal streak alive when he
put away the puck with some help
from McGinnis and Koo. Bowdoin
found a sixth and final goal when
McGinnis, with his third assist of
the night, fed Connor Quinn 15
across the crease.
We always stress how impor-
tant it is to start periods off strong
and we got some good breaks
against Tufts, said Weiniger. We
like to come out flying and set the
tone for the period right from the
opening drop.
Steve Messina 14 was solid in
goal for Bowdoin with 27 saves,
but Tufts ruined his shutout at
12:37 in the third period after an
unlucky rebound.
After the 6-1 victory, the Polar
Bears faced off against the Con-
necticut College Camels on Satur-
day afternoon for their last regu-
lar-season home game.
Bowdoin had trouble convert-
ing its initial opportunities into
goals due to the outstanding play
of the Camels goaltender. But at
the end of the first period, captain
Tim McGarry 13, who had just
finished serving a 2-minute pen-
alty, stepped back onto the ice for
the conveniently waiting puck. He
held off the Conn. defenders until
Jay Livermore 14 arrived. Liver-
more drew the defense left and
found Lockwood unguarded on
the back half of the net.
The teams played to a deadlock
until midway through the third
period when the Camels went on
a power play. An awkward bounce
managed to slip by the pads of Max
Fenkell 15 to even the game 1-1.
We were controlling the play
and limiting their chances, but

Mens bball ends season with loss to Tufts
BY SAM CHASE
ORIENT STAFF
The mens basketball season end-
ed last Saturday as the team fell to
Tufts in a NESCAC Championship
quarterfinal, 82-71.
Despite early concerns about the
teams ability to be competitive after
losing a talented crop of seniors, the
Polar Bears made it just as far in the
playoffs as they did last year, and
were within three wins of the same
record. The team will return four of
its five starters and is in good shape
for the next season.
Sharpshooter Andrew Madlinger
14 led the No. 5 Polar Bears with 22
points on only 14 shots, including
5-of-8 shooting from 3-point land.
Keegan Pieri 15 put up 14 points
and nine rebounds. Bryan Hurley
15 played his usual role of floor
general, scoring 11 points while
handing out nine assists.
It was a very well-played game
by both teams, said Gilbride. We
only had eight turnovers and they
had nine. Both teams shot and exe-
cuted well. It was pretty much what
youd expect from a tournament
game with two teams that were
playing pretty well going in.
There were several possessions
where [Tufts] got offensive re-
bounds at critical times, said Head
Coach Tim Gilbride. Thats one of
their greatest strengths as a team,
and it showed at important points
in the game.
Bowdoin trailed for the entire
first half, although Tufts lead never
exceeded eight points.
We knew it wasnt going to be a
game where one team would go on
a massive run at the beginning and
pull away, said captain Max Staiger
13. It was going to be a grind right
until the end.
Midway through the second half,
the Polar Bears went on a 17-5 run
to take a 67-61 lead. Hurley sliced
and diced the Jumbo defense,
scoring or assisting on 11 of those
points. But the Bowdoin offense
soon lost its momentumit missed
its next 11 shots and allowed Tufts
to finish the game on a massive
21-4 run.
Their last run put us out of
time, said Gilbride. By the time
they were up seven, there were only
two minutes left to play. Youre
put in a situation where you have
to score on every possession, and
thats difficult.
According to Madlinger, the
teams insistence on tying as soon
as possible came back to bite them.
We werent patient, he said. We
didnt use the entire shot clock. When
we used all 35 seconds, we broke them
down defensively. Late in the game we
started going for quick baskets, and
thats when we missed shots.
Bowdoin concludes the season
with a 14-10 record, an impressive
finish given that the team graduated
leading scorers from last year, Will
Hanley 12 and Ryan OConnell 12
last year.
I was a little unsure how we
would fare after losing Will and
Ryan, said Gilbride. That was al-
leviated quickly, because Max and
Nick [Lenker 13] did a great job
providing leadership and focus for
our team.
The team graduated five seniors
last year, who accounted for 60
percent of the teams points and
nearly 49 percent of its rebounds.
Next season, the Polar Bears will
SCORECARD
Sa 2/16 at Tufts L 8271
lose very little of their offensive and
defensive production, returning
players who scored 86 percent of
its points this year and snagged 83
percent of all rebounds, compared
to 40 percent and 51 percent from
last year, respectively. Seven-footer
John Swords 15, second-leading
scorer Pieri, and Hurley, who was
second in the nation in assists per
game, will all be juniors next sea-
son. The teams leading scorer,
Madlinger, and his fellow perimeter
scorer Matt Mathias 14 will pro-
vide senior leadership.
Sometimes they see where they
fell short and they work like crazy
and come back and have a fantas-
tic year, said Gilbride, who has
been coaching the Polar Bears since
1985. Sometimes they say Were a
year older, weve got a lot of guys re-
turning and were going to be good.
Without taking the extra step, they
fall short.
Historically speaking, return-
ing a high number of point-scorers
and rebounders bodes well for the
teams next season. In the 2007, the
mens basketball team finished 22-
7, made it to the NESCAC finals,
and lost in the second round of the
NCAA tournament. That season
they returned 80 percent of their
points and 90 percent of their re-
bounds from the previous season.
Returning offensive and defen-
sive playmakers is one thing, but
according to Gilbride, bringing
back veteran leadership is just as,
if not more, important.
A lot of players got experience
this year in close games and big
games, said Gilbride. If guys work
to get better along with the depth of
experience they now have, we have
a chance to have a good year. Im
looking forward to it.

With two resounding victories,
the womens ice hockey team is rid-
ing a wave of momentum into the
playoffs and will host Williams, the
seventh seed, in the quarterfinal
round of the NESCAC tournament
tomorrow.
After last weekend, Bowdoin re-
mains the No. 7 team in the nation
with an overall record of 18-4-2.
Amherst has dropped out of the
top 10 in the latest poll.
Despite the box scores, Head
Coach Marissa ONeil pointed out
that the games were very tight.
The games were well-fought
battles, she said. The score is not
indicative of the game. We have a
pretty high-powered offense and
they were a good matchup for us.
As has been happening all year,
Bowdoins forwards cranked out
goals early and often, forcing Am-
herst to match their up-tempo of-
fensive gameplay.
According to captain Kayte
Holtz 13, the teams ability to dic-
tate the games pace was an impor-
tant part of these two wins.
Especially in the first game, we
did a good job of controlling the
tempo right from the start, Holtz
said. After we scored, they came
back hard but our defense and
[goalie] Kayla [Lessard 13] did a
great job of slowing them down
and keeping them to only one goal
the entire weekend.
This series was also significant
because the team swept Amherst
for the first time in five years.
Bowdoin has scored 57 goals
and allowed only 18 this season in
NESCAC plays, leading the confer-
ence in both offense and defense.
ONeil was quick to point out
that the teams success reflects its
commitment and desire to excel
this season.
Those are team accomplish-
ments and we are really proud of
that, ONeil said. Those things
obviously help our record, but it
is not too often that you see that.
Defensively we have done a great
job. It is not a given that a team
will have a great scoring offense
and defense.
One of the reasons why the
hockey team has put up impressive
statistics is its players versatility
in playing at both ends of the ice.
ONeil said she searches for ath-
letes with well-developed skills
who understand the teams offen-
sive scheme.
We always look for the best all-
around athletes, she added. Ver-
satility is hugely important: this
year we moved Jay Greene 13 to
defense. Last year in the playoffs,
we moved Emily Tang 14 to be a
forward because of injuries.
In the first match against Am-
herst, Bowdoin scored twice in the
second and third period.
After an Amherst player was pe-
nalized for checking in the second,
Bowdoin took advantage of the
power play to break the deadlock.
Chelsea MacNeil 15 scored
the first goal off a rebound after
Greene sent the goalie sprawling
with a hard shot.
ONeil said she has been very
impressed with MacNeils physical
style of play on the ice as well as
her development as a well-rounded
hockey player.
She is not the flashiest player
out there but by far she is one of
the most impactful, she added.
The biggest thing is that she un-
derstands the game of hockey;
shes excellent on face-offs, which
is something that is easily over-
looked. By far her greatest strength
is that she wins all 1-on-1 battles.
It doesnt matter where it is; if
someone takes the puck off her
stick, she will get it right back. She
is tenacious, quick and grinds ev-
ery single game.

a misdirection to weave it around

the confused Amherst goalie. Ra-
chel Kennedy 16 scored early in
the third period amidst a crowd of
Bowdoin and Amherst players, and
captain Stephanie Ludy 13 set up a
1-on-1 situation for Kenzie Novak
13, who was able to convert the
scoring opportunity for the teams
last goal.
In the second game, Bowdoin
scored all of its goals in the first
period, knocking Amherst back
on its heels and then holding on
for the win. After Ludy converted
a power play early on, MacNeil,
Arianna Bourque 16 and Kennedy
piled on to score another unan-
swered goal in a 3-on-2 scoring
opportunity. Kennedy scored an
insurance goal late in the game;
Amherst had started a late rally
and but could only come up with
one goal.
That was Kennedys 14th goal
of the seasonthe team highand
she is a serious candidate for NE-
SCAC, and possibly D-III, Rookie
of the Year.
ONeil said she has been im-
pressed with the development of
the first-year players.
Our first years are extremely
competitive and have seamlessly
transitioned into the college game,
ONeil said. Those two are by far
some of the most competitive kids.
They have pushed the upperclass-
men to continue to play that way.
They are not only contributors
on the ice by scoring, but their
work ethic and positive attitudes
help motivate everyone else, said
Holtz. The freshmen are a great
group of individuals all around.
Lessard had two tremendous
showings, posting one shutout and
53 combined saves over the two
game series.
Going into the playoffs, ONeil
said she was relieved to be hosting
the first round because the team
wont have to change their practice
schedule, and they have lost only
one game at home.
Bowdoin will host a quarterfinal
match against Williams tomor-
row at 4 p.m. Tickets for the mens
and womens doubleheader are
available free for students with a
Bowdoin ID and $3 for the public,
and can be picked up on the sec-
ond floor of the Buck Center.

On a young team with only
three active upperclassmen to look
to for leadership, womens basket-
ball benefted greatly this weekend
from the clutch 3-point shoot-
ing of frst year Selena Lorrey, the
leading scorer in the teams upset
victory against the NESCACs top-
seeded Tufs.
Afer taking some time to
adjust to the speed of the col-
lege game, her 11 points against
Tufs bookended a hot streak
that started against the Jumbos
on January 11, where she scored
three 3-pointers. Lorrey scored a
3-pointer in all but two of the next
13 games, including eight straight.
She has also made at least three
per game in her last three games
and has grown into the teams
sixth player role.
Shes just deadly, Head Coach
Adrienne Shibles said. Shes very
consistent in her form and very
confdent. Tere are a few shots she
takes where you think, Teres no
way she can make this shotbut
it goes in.
Still, the team was not exactly
surprised to see her break out.
We saw this right away from
her, captain Anna Prohl 14 said.
We had pick-up in the fall and we
were like Wow, this girl can shoot
the lights out.
Lorrey, a Maine native, ap-
peared on the Bowdoin recruiting
radar for her disciplined shooting
mechanics and her pinpoint accu-
racy from long range. Coming to
Bowdoin allowed her to play bas-
ketball in college while being close
enough to home that her family
can attend her home games.
Athletics play an important role
in her familyher mother walked
on to the basketball team at the
University of Vermont and her
youngest sister Amelia plays bas-
ketball as well. Her sister Jocelyn
is an accomplished track star as a
high school junior.
Lorrey is more aware of her
sisters stat lines than her own, re-
calling with ease her sisters New
England Championship jump,
while oblivious to her own streak
of 3-pointers. Lorrey said she had
been too absorbed in the teams
play against Tufs to think about
her own frst-half performance.
Despite Bowdoins success this
season, Lorrey said she is looking
ahead to what some time away
from the game will bring her.
Preseason for the team starts with
the beginning of the fall semes-
ter, and players fnd themselves
inundated with constant training
and preparation. Te team lifs

give her the free time she has not
really experienced since arriving
at Bowdoin.
Balancing labs and basketball
has defnitely been challenging,
Lorrey said. Ive had two labs both
semesters here, as well as a lan-
guage conversation group. Ofen I
have to go right from lab to prac-
tice, especially if my labs run long.
Teres not really much free time,
but its defnitely worth it.
Tough defensive assignments
and shot selection were early dif-
fculties for Lorrey, confdence was
not. She has even developed a repu-
tation for being vocal in the huddle.
Shes very constructive, captain
Kaitlin Donahoe 13 said. She al-
ways has a lot to say but she frames
it in a constructive way. I commend
her for confdence in her own
knowledge of the game.
Afer the season, Lorrey says she
looks forward to branching out. She
loves singing and dabbled in theatre
in high school, and expressed inter-
est in pursuing those at Bowdoin.
Academically, she is looking to fur-
ther her interest in biology and Ger-
man, and says she wants to conduct
research on pathology.
Her teammates will undoubtedly
look to her again Saturday as the
team faces the second seed in the
NESCAC tournament, Amherst.
Te team hopes she can match her
career-high 15 points (5-of-6 from
3-point range) from the teams loss
to Amherst earlier this year.
Shes going to help regardless,
Donahoe said. Either theyll let her
shoot and shell hit, or theyll have
to play her and give other players
opportunities. Either way, shes go-
ing to have a lot of confdence.
And according to those around
her, they will continue to show
their confdence in her.
Im excited that shes just a frst
year, Prohl said. She has a lot more
room to grow. Im disappointed Ill
only get to play two years with her.
I know shes going to have a
great career, Shibles said. She will
start next season even better than
how shell leave [this one].

we werent getting the sustained
pressure that were used to so we
couldnt grind down the oppos-
ing D down like we usually do,
said McGarry. Letting them hang
around in a close game gave them
confidence down the stretch and
led to them scoring a late goal.
The game soon went to over-
time, and after a near game-end-
ing shot by McGinnis, the Cam-
els (who needed the win to make
the playoffs) pulled their goalie
to play with an extra attacker.
Bowdoin held off the one-man ad-
vantage and was able to blast the
puck down towards the empty net.
Players from both sides converged
on the puck, but it was Lockwood
who finally gained control of the
puck at Connecticuts blue line,
spun and sent it straight into the
net with 1.8 seconds left to win
the game and seal Bowdoins No. 1
spot in the playoffs.
We took care of business and we
secured the home ice in the league,
which I think is wonderful for this
team and how hard they work, said
Head Coach Terry Meagher.
In a meaningless matchup in
terms of championship seeding,
the Polar Bears played a resched-
uled game against Trinity on Mon-
day night. The Bantams scored
the most goals (10) any team has
scored against Bowdoin in at
least10 seasons, dating as far back
as the online records go.
This was the weirdest game in
my career here at Bowdoin, said
Weiniger. We carried the play
through the first 12 minutes of
the game and they got some early
bounces to get ahead. From then
on they got in the engine and we
couldnt seem to stop them.
The surprising shootout fea-
tured playing time for three differ-
ent Bowdoin goalkeepers: Fenkell,
Messina and Connor Shannon 13.
The Bantams took advantage of
power plays throughout the game,
converting four of their five man-
up situations. They excelled offen-
sively even while six Polar Bears
were on the ice, and hammered
Fenkell with 27 shots in just over
30 minutes of play, five of which
went past him for goals.
The game on Monday was bi-
zarre in so many ways; they capi-
talized on their opportunities and
HOCKEY

we ended up chasing. As you con-
tinue to chase you take more risks,
and next thing you know theres
15 goals on the board, said Mea-
gher. To be honest, Im surprised
that doesnt happen more the way
that puck fires and goes around the
rink. But the bottom line is that
even when we were down a fair
amount, we didnt give up and we
kept playing hard.
The Polar Bears, despite having
seven power plays of their own,
were only able to convert on two.
Bowdoin will host a quarterfinal
match against Hamilton tomorrow
at 1 p.m.
We are focusing on creating a
playoff mentality within the team
that includes playing a more gritty
physical game and trying to gener-
ate some ugly goals from scrums
in front of the net, said McGar-
ry. We believe that these are the
things that will propel us through
the playoffs and will complement
our speed and skill game nicely.
Tickets for the mens and wom-
ens doubleheader are available
free for students with a Bowdoin
ID and $3 for the public, and can
be picked up on the second floor
of the Buck Center.
Defensively we have done
a great job. It is not a given
that a team will have a great
scoring oense and defense.

sixth in New England D-III
As the sixth seed, Bowdoin made no
leaps to increase their fnal position, but
did match its rank by providing several
personal best performances.
Addison Carvajal 16 took fourth in
the pentathlona personal bestas
did Katherine Harmon 14 in the weight
throw with a distance of 15.49 meters.
Te Polar Bears did not have any in-
dividual winners, but Erin Silva 15 re-
corded a team-best third place fnish in
the pole vault with her 3.06-meter jump.
Te distance medley relay team of
Alana Menendez 15, Liz Znamierows-
ki 16, Maggie Bryan 15, and Gina Stal-
ica 16 ran to a third-place fnish with
their time of 12:25.88.
Captain Michele Kaufman 13 was
the lone Polar Bear to score in two
events, taking ffh in the long jump
with a mark of 5.27 meters and sixth
in the 55m hurdles by running it in
8.59 seconds.
Te eighth place 4x200m relay team
of Emily Clark 15, Znamierowski,

start, said Head Coach Adrienne
Shibles. If we played to our poten-
tial, we had a good chance to win.
Te week going into Tufs, we fo-
cused on the belief that we could do
it and play execution, said Donahoe.
Tough being the eighth seed took
some of the pressure of of the Polar
Bears, each match from now on feels
like a matter of life or death.
We know if we lose, were done,
said Donahoe. Amherst and Tufs
are going to go on to the NCAAs, win
or lose. Its win or go home. Its fueled
us even more to not take a play of,
to bring intensity and to talk to every
play, to do all the little things that we
talk about day in and day out.
Earlier in the season, the Polar
Bears were hammered by Tufs 62-
44. Te Polar Bears lost their com-
posure against the Jumbos intense
defense, giving up 20 turnovers.
Tufs is one of the best defensive
teams in the nation, said Shibles.
Te frst time we played them they
got a lot of steals and forced turn-
overs from doubling us or collapsing
on us in the paint.
On Saturday, Shibles said she felt
that her team gave up too many turn-
overs in the frst half but was able to
tighten up ball control afer halfime.
Teir defensive pressure didnt
rattle us this time, said Shibles. We
talked about being strong with the
ball: Teyre going to be all over us
trying to get their hands on the ball.
We were a little fearful the first
time we played them since we
had never really faced a NESCAC

Te womens swimming and div-
ing team came in seventh in the NE-
SCAC championships this past week-
end, smashing several school records
in the process.
With a fnal point total of 1972.5,
Amherst won its frst ever NESACAC
womens swimming championship, de-
feating long-time rival Williams. Finish-
ing seventh, the Polar Bears had a fnal
point total of 707.
Tough not triumphant, the team
ended its 2012-2013 season on a high
note, breaking several long-standing
school records and posting many season
best times.
Katherine Foley 13 had the best in-
dividual performances of the weekend
for the team, coming in second overall
in the 1000-yard freestyle with a time
of 10:21.04 and fourth in the 1650-yard
freestyle with a time 17:25.69. Both
times broke school records, with Foley
beating her own time of 10:33 in the
1000-yard freestyle and breaking a re-
cord in the 1650 that had stood since
1995. To round it out, Foley broke her
own record that she set last year in the
500 freestyle with a time of 5:01.27.
Te team set four records in the re-
lay events, with the most striking being
the 800 freestyle where Foley, Lela Gar-
ner 16, Bridget Killian 16 and captain
Sarah Hirschfeld 13 broke the previous
mark by almost 10 seconds with a time
of 7:39.65.
Other relay records included the 400
free, where the team of captain Kayley
Kokomoor 13, Killian, Garner, and Fol-
ey set a new mark with a time of 3:31.56;
the 200 free, where Teri Faller 15, Patty
Boyer 15, Garner and Kokomoor swam
defense, said Donahoe. I didnt
see that intimidation or fear from
anyone this past weekend.
Bowdoin looked to draw out Tufs
quickly shifing defense and double
team traps in the paint, allowing
them to move the ball to the players
on the weak side.
The Polar Bears shot excellently
from the perimeter, sinking 11 of 19
3-pointers, often with the obstruc-
tion of a Jumbo defenders hand.
Bowdoin sunk 57.9 percent of its
3-pointers, while Tufts made just
19 percent.
Tey were defnitely pressure
shots, said Donahoe. In practice,
we picked up the defensive intensity
against each other, and I think that
has translated really well into games.
Ultimately, the match was an ofen-
sive team efort with balanced scor-
ing. Selena Lorrey 16 led Bowdoin
with 11 points of the bench.
It was clear she was really men-
tally ready to go, said Shibles. You
could just tell she was really feeling it
behind the arc; she has a lot of conf-
dence in her shot.
Tufs scored the bulk of its points
from up close.
Teir posts are very guard-like
theyre dangerous because they can
take you of the dribble and shoot,
said Shibles.
At halfime, the Polar Bears led
Tufs by six, but there was no celebra-
tion or break of focus in the Bowdoin
locker room.
We immediately started talking
about things that we could do better,
said Donahoe. Weve been in this
situation before where we got that
complacent feeling. We didnt want
that to happen again since we knew
the Tufs coach was going to be in
their face. As much as it stunk going
through hardships in the regular sea-
son, I think weve learned from them
and they are helping us out now.
Te Polar Bears will make their
13th straight appearance in the NE-
SCAC semifnals tomorrow, facing
the NESCACs No. 2 and nation-
ally sixth-ranked Amherst. Te Polar
Bears will travel to Amherst, Mass.,
where the Lady Jefs hold a 77-game
winning streak at home.
Bowdoin lost to Amherst 74-58
in the regular season on January 18.
Te Polar Bears led by six at halfime
but fell apart in the second half when
the Jefs amped up their defense.
Te Polar Bears are more excited
to face Amherst coming of the con-
fdence boost from the Tufs-upset,
according to Lorrey. Donahoe cate-
gorized this weeks practices as most
positive and uplifing.
Were focusing a lot on limiting
their second-chance opportuni-
ties, said Donahoe. They got a
lot of offensive rebounds and put-
backs, and we bailed them out a
lot sending them to the line. After
looking at film we saw there were
a few sets where they continually
scored on us with the exact same
play six to eight times. So were fo-
cusing on what we need to do to
shut down their strengths.
Te last time Amherst developed
a large home win streaka 25-game
run in 2009it was the Polar Bears
who snapped it. Tomorrow, they
hope to do this again.
We feel if we continue to play the
way we played this past weekend, we
can beat anyone, and it is fun to be
the spoiler, said Shibles.

All the teams, from ffh to 10th
place, were within a few points from
each other, he said. To come out near
the top of that cluster, he continued, We
needed people to come through, and a
lot of the entries were able to get their
season best.
In fact, the Polar Bears were just one
point from a ffh-place fnish.
Slovenski was particularly proud
that Bowdoin continued its success in
the feld this season, as the Polar Bears
scored points in every feld event.
Bowdoin outscored many NESCAC
rivals including Colby, Bates, Amherst,
Wesleyan and Connecticut College.
Because most athletes dont fuctuate
much in their week-to-week perfor-
mances, upsets are not customary in
track and feld. Te Polar Bears could
not upset NESCAC powerhouses Tufs
(frst place), Williams (third) or Middle-
bury (fourth).
Today, qualifying Polar Bears travel
to Boston University for the Open New
England Championship.

Tis weekend at Bates, the mens
track and feld team took eighth place
in a 21-team competition featuring the
stoutest D-III track and feld competi-
tors New England has to ofer.
Te team walked away with a new
meet record and plenty of strong per-
formances despite a relatively weak
overall showing.
We had some great performances
on the track, and some of our guys
came through at a really high level,
said Head Coach Peter Slovenski. Te
distance medley was a come-from-
behind frst place, and [junior] Coby
Horowitz, who was seeded second in
the mile, took frst.
Te distance medley team, composed
of James Boeding 14, Matthew Gam-
ache 13, Jacob Ellis 16 and Horowitz,
placed frst and set a new meet record
of 10:12.46, smashing the previous mark
by almost fve seconds.
Sam Seekins 14 also took second
place in the 5000 meter run, and the
4x800 meter relay team came in seventh
place. Nick Saba 14 had a breakout per-
formance, coming in ffh place in the
3000-meter run.
Saba had a terrifc 3K, said Sloven-
ski. He didnt make it into the fast heat,
so he had to run a really good time in
the slower section in order to place. He
showed a lot of poise and intelligence in
the way he ran.
Despite impressive performances
on the track itself, Slovenski expressed
a need for stronger performances in
feld events. At the New England meet,
Bowdoin did not receive any points
from the feld eventsmeaning all of
the teams 34 points came from runners.
Overall, Slovenski said he was satis-
fed with the meets outcome. Of the
NESCAC teams present, only three
managed to outscore Bowdoin. Accord-
ing to Slovenksi, the meet featured a low,
albeit expected outcome with the level of
competition present.
Today, Bowdoin will compete in the
Open New England Championship at
Boston University. Unlike last weekend,
Bowdoin will be facing D-I runners.
However, Slovenski remains optimistic.
At this point in the season, track be-
comes a more individual sport, he said.
Teres defnitely still a team aspect, but
as you enter the championships, fewer
people qualify. Weve got great runners
going to BU, and I think were going to
see some great performances. Im con-
vinced that we could see some top-fve
fnishes there.

Higher standards
I
ts a safe bet that on a campus tour of any NESCAC school, the tour
guide will tout the colleges work hard, play hard environment, as-
suring visitors that students take socializing just as seriously as studying.
A holistic Bowdoin experience will be made up of late nights in the
library, frantic study sessions, College House parties, and perhaps a
handful of stories about debauched weekend escapades. Work hard,
play hard works as long as the former does not lead to the latterbut
judging from the results of the Orients recent drug and mental health
survey, it does.
Bowdoin students lead busy lives. We hold ourselves to high stan-
dards in all that we doclasses, athletics and extracurricularsin
order to achieve some measure of success. As our workloads have in-
creased and expectations continue to soar, data shows that students are
turning to recreational drugs in higher numbers.
In their first semester at the College in the fall of 2010, 32 percent of
the current junior class reported having used marijuana at Bowdoin.
That figure now stands at 73 percent. Similarly, the current senior class
saw a marked increase in those who reported having smoked pot at
least once at Bowdoin, from 46 percent in 2010 to 60 percent today. By
and large, the data show that drug use increases significantly over the
course of four years here. While students are likely to use their time
in college to experiment, the magnitude of this upward trend is wor-
risomeit appears we are taking work hard, play hard too literally.
The fact that drug use increases as students near graduation is in
part a symptom of the incredible amount of stress that attends the
prospect of taking on adult responsibilities. Students in college today
have higher average stress and anxiety levels than previous genera-
tions. Take, for example, the fact that Bowdoins Counseling Center has
seen an 80 percent increase in the annual number of sessions held by
Counseling Services since the 2004-2005 academic year.
The maxim work hard, play hard is not problematic in and of itself.
However, it becomes an issue when we turn to substances as coping
mechanisms to alleviate the stress of a hard week of work or to provide
a distraction from the uncertainties of the future. These habits nega-
tively affect academic and athletic performance, and dont set us up to
be able to adeptly cope with life after graduation. Ultimately, relying on
drugs and alcohol as a means of escape, or as a pay off after a long work
day, will only increase stress and anxiety.
Bowdoins reputation as a work hard, play hard school is meant to
indicate that students here lead balanced lives, and for the most part
that is true. Data from the past several years, however, indicates that
we are pushing that balance to its limits, and it might be worth trying
to slow down. By all means, play hard. Just be aware of why youre
doing it.
Fucking up at Bowdoin really
isnt easy. Scratch that. Fucking up
at Bowdoin is really easy. Talking
about it is the hard part.
Have you ever noticed that when
youre applying to colleges, the rat-
ing sites use this statistic: percent
of students that graduate in five
years? Never made sense to me.
It only takes four. Could that many
students have had existential crises
and had to skip town for a year to
pose for pictures in Africa?
Now I get it. People fail some-
times. Plans go awry. Shit hits the
fan. Even super successful Nietzs-
chean mind controlling supermen
make mistakes occasionally.
Its hard to admit that despite
our best efforts, sometimes we
fail. Not in the professional sense:
a bad grade, a flubbed interview.
Sometimes we royally fuck up in
our life choices. We unequivocally
do the wrong thing. We screw over
our friends. We crash cars into
Druck. Drink ourselves into the
hospital, and then binge again two
weeks later. Plagiarize the heck out
of the kid one row up and to the
left in Molecular Biology. Add fuel
to the gossip machine fire.
Im not here to tell you or myself
its okay. Its not okay. Its wrong.
Theres a reason they call them
mistakes, and theres a reason they
come with consequences.
We should own up to our mis-
takes, but theres not always a lot of
space at Bowdoin for that. Make a
big enough mistake, and the Judi-
cial Board will make you disappear
Bowdoin Problems: Hypocrisy happens
Downton Abbeys lesson on privilege
I must begin this article with
two prefatory remarks:
1. Ive been watching way too
much Downton Abbey.
2. To any prospective employer:
please do not hold the next sen-
tence against me.
Our democratic, capitalistic,
(pseudo) meritocratic way of life is
seriously imperfect. Thats right, I
said it.
When I say imperfect, I am not
suggesting that there are improve-
ments we can make. I do not mean
to propose alterations to the size
and scope of regulations. I am not
even critiquing the functioning of
our markets; I, for the purposes of
this article, want to call their very
existence into question.
Now, for those impoverished
spirits who have not yet had the
chance to watch Downton Abbey,

rewards. In consequence, the tra-
ditionalists in power during the
time of Downton Abbey feared
that they would be deposed in
a protracted reenactment of the
French Revolution.
Others who have become Down-
ton groupies would probably agree
that the show is not very nuanced.
It depicts love and tragedy only,
without much restraint when it
comes to dramatic excesses. We are
swung wildly from highs to lows,
and then back again. One does not
watch the show to be challenged.
We watch it to feel the grandeur
of Downtonin terms of the emo-
tions of its inhabitants and the
luxury of the setting.
Yet the show is actually quite
cagey when it comes to answering
the historical periods dominating
question: Is the march of progress
good or bad?
In the show, we fnd women who
fnally reach for lives beyond the do-
mesticity of the home. We observe
servants that proudly assert their
ambitions for a better life. And, like

this dynamic occurs when we stop

Our moral compasses fail us

The reality of the situation is
that were all going to do some

While Scott Budde (Administra-
tions misinformed response to di-
vestment raises more questions than
it answers) is surely correct that fos-
sil fuel companies help cause serious
environmental problems, this is not
reason enough for Bowdoin to divest
from them.
Bowdoin does more good by
maximizing the resources it has: by
promoting top-rate scholarships (in-
cluding environmental) and educat-
ing undergraduates, than it would by
diminishing its endowmentno mat-
ter how well-intentioned the causes
may be. As President Barry Mills said,
Bowdoin is not a political action
committee.
It is exceedingly improbable that
divesting from fossil fuel companies
would improve the environment.
Bowdoins endowment constitutes
a discountable fraction of total in-
vestments in companies that use or
produce fossil fuels, and there is no
evidence that Bowdoins divestment
would lead a critical mass of other in-
vestors to follow suit.
By contrast, there is a real possibil-
ity that divestment could seriously
harm Bowdoins fnances. Mr. Budde
states, but does not explain, his incre-
dulity toward Mills and Senior Vice
President for Investments Paula Vo-
lents claim that divestment from fossil
fuel companies would result in a $100
million loss to the endowment. Budde
makes the unsupported contention
that there are alternative fossil-free
investment strategies that Bowdoin
could easily pursue.
But he does not address numerous
issues that are critical to his case:
1. Whether, as Volent maintains,
those alternative strategies would
require divestment from high-per-
forming funds (as opposed to merely
securities).
2. Whether, as a 25 percent portfo-
lio turnover suggests, those alternative
strategies would have signifcant start-
up costs associated with them.
3. Whether divestment would dis-
rupt the portfolios balance, causing
ramifcations far beyond divestment
from fossil fuel companies or entities
with a direct stake in them.
For all Mr. Budde says, any one of
these propositions could easily be
true. And any one of them could im-
ply enormous costs to the endowment.
Mr. Budde also neglects the prec-
edential impact of Bowdoins making a
politically-motivated divestment.
To be sure, it does not follow as a
matter of logic that because Bowdoin
divests from fossil fuel companies it
therefore must divest from the other
(innumerable) companies engaged
in regrettable practices. But rhetori-
cally, the precedent is powerful, and
increases the probability of success in
future pushes for divestment.
Tis may well warm the hearts of
activists to the core, but it should give
pause to those who see that in our eco-
nomic system, institutions on a budget
cannot serve the common good with-
out dealing in the current fnancial
market.
Finally, it is sometimes proper for
colleges and universities to take politi-
cal stands even on issues, such as the
environment, that are of urgent im-
portance to us generally but are well
beyond the institutional interests of
academia. But there should be a strong
presumption against it.
Space for untrammeled freedom
of thought is precious, and fragile
enough that we should be reluctant to
Two weeks ago Bowdoins admin-
istration publicly expressed its views
on divesting the endowment from
fossil fuels in a statement to the Ori-
ent. President Barry Mills and Senior
Vice President for Investments Paula
Volent argued that although only 1.4
percent of the endowment was in-
vested in the top 200 fossil fuel frms,
divestment would have cost the school
$100 million dollars.
Tese numbers are alarming, yet
it is strange that the administra-
tion provided a fgure for estimated
losses from divestment without pub-
licly releasing a study to back up its
numbers. Students should not take
the administrations numbers at face
value and should continue to advo-
cate for more information on the
feasibility of divestment.
1.4 percent of the endowment is in-
vested in fossil fuels. However, endow-
ment holdings presumably fuctuate
constantly as fund managers oversee
day-to-day trading. Is the 1.4 percent
fgure an average of fossil fuel hold-
ings? Additionally, depending on the
market, couldnt much more of Bow-
doins endowment be invested in fossil
fuels in the future?
Bowdoins administration could
answer students questions about
divestment by releasing the calcula-
tions behind their reasoning.
If the administration is not forth-
coming with a public statement
that more precisely describes how
it predicted Bowdoin would lose
$100 million through divestment,
students may assume the data is not
being released because its methods
are questionable.
Te reason activists across the
country are campaigning to divest
college endowments from fossil fuels
is that divestment is a way to do more
to address climate change. If major
universities and colleges across the
U.S. divested their endowments, more
companies would feel obligated to in-
crease sustainability initiatives and the
U.S. would be closer to enacting com-
prehensive climate change legislation.
But if we reach an impasse on divest-
mentwhich unfortunately seems im-
minentlets not lose sight of the most
important goal: our commitment to
the environment. If divestment doesnt
work out, maybe we could look into
creating a carbon neutral endowment,
as Scott Budde 81 suggested in a recent
letter to the Orient.
Bowdoin could also set up an en-
dowment fund that specializes in
sustainable investments, allowing
alumni to give to Bowdoin in order to
spur growth in sustainable businesses.
Bowdoin could also speed up imple-
menting some of the proposals in its
carbon neutrality plan to bring the
campus closer to being carbon-free.
One proposal is to create a 2,000
kW solar photovoltaic (PV) installa-
tion on land acquired at Brunswick
Naval Air station, but the project has
been postponed for up to 10 years
based on expected solar PV prices.
Its not time to give up on di-
vestment. Students should con-
tinue to advocate for better in-
formation on the implications of
divestment and how exactly Bow-
doin manages its endowment.
Nevertheless, lets keep the divest-
ment issue civil, transparent and con-
structive so we can still come together
and do more to address climate change
in the coming years at Bowdoin.

Where to head from here on the question of divestment
Endowment must be used for education, not politicization Administration should be more transparent
In short, it is seriously
unlikely that Bowdoins
divesting from fossil fuel compa-
nies will do any good, and quite
likely that it will harm
the endowment.
a point just shy of paranoia to do any-
thing to legitimize the idea that uni-
versities are properly political-activist
entitiesentities whose interests are
rarely served by untrammeled free-
dom of thought.
Obviously, the risk is remote that if
Bowdoin decided to divest from fos-
sil fuel companies its academic values
would be subverted. But the point of
a presumption is to override the judg-
ments wed otherwise make in circum-
stances where, in aggregate and over
the course of time, those judgments
pose a risk to something we hold dear.
Tis precisely describes the risk of
creeping politicization of the academy
when colleges and universities, how-
ever well intentioned, decide to enter
politics.
In short, it is seriously unlikely that
Bowdoins divesting from fossil fuel
companies will do any good for the
environment, and quite likely that it
will harm the endowment.
Even without a presumption against
the propriety of Bowdoins taking po-
litical stands this would be enough to
conclude that divestment is improper.
With the presumption in place, the
right course is crystal clear.

rejoice for these characters.
However, there are other char-
acters and events that complicate
this endorsement of progress. We
sympathize with those fighting to
maintain the integrity of the estate.
Our hearts are warmed by the
devotion of servants who find dig-
nity and satisfaction in contribut-
ing to the running of a grand man-
nor house. Indeed, the series does
not compel us to wish for the dis-
mantling of Downton despite the
fact that such a grandiose lifestyle
should feel outdated.
So, how ought we deal with this
ambivalence? Some may suggest
that the viewers appreciation of
Downtons aesthetic is just nos-
talgia. Such luxury is impossible
nowadays, so the beauty we find in
it is quite harmless.
I disagree. In fact, I think that
Downtons nimble navigation of
the progress question helps to
reveal certain shortcomings in
the centuries-long rise of our own
capitalistic and democratic society.
Todays America has a troubled
relationship with wealth. We un-
derstand the drive for wealth as
the dominant catalyst of our eco-
nomic system. And yet, we deal
very poorly with it once we have
wealth of our own.
Tis impoverishment of the rich
manifests itself in two dominant ways.
In the first instance, there are
wealthy folks in this country who
view their success as entirely deriv-
ative of their own labor and virtues.
They become horridly self-righ-
teous, flouting laws and decency.
We get a whiff of this in stories of
the unwieldy decadence of Ameri-
cas super-rich. We also witness this
in a particular brand of conserva-
tive politics where the ideology
of free markets is used as a smoke
screen for brash indifference to the
welfare of the rest of society.
On the other hand, there are
those who deal with their wealth
by being ashamed of it. Havent
you seen those table tents in
Moultonthe ones with privilege
written as a dirty word?
I do not wish to criticize the
attempt to develop a discourse
around the peculiar position of re-
source-rich Bowdoin. But, it can-
not be denied that the impetus for
a significant chunk of Bowdoins
programming comes from an acute
embarrassmentthat we will be
labeled privileged or rich or elitist.
We worry because we live in
a society that pretends to offer
equivalence between democratic
free markets and equal opportu-
nity. It is not hard to see this for
the myth that it is.
So, what does Downton Abbey
teach us? Well, certainly not to
completely renounce our faith in
social mobility and progress. And
certainly not to see all wealth as a
product of corruption and injustice.
I think the lesson is to cope with
lifes arbitrary outcomes with mea-

totally earned his or her lot in life.
We should remain mindful of that.
And yet, if we are privileged
enough to have wealthin what-
ever formthen we should not be
shy to use it for beautiful and even
grand displays. We should not only
be philanthropists and work to pay
back the society that made us what

HY KHONG, THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
Students should continue to
advocate for better information on
the implications of divestment
and how exactly Bowdoin
manages its endowment.
Ultimately, divestment is one more
way to address climate change, and
better information on this issue would
clarify whether it deserves continued
student support.
Tere are several incongruities
in the administrations position on
divestment. Like most large institu-
tions, Bowdoin invests its endowment
through individual funds, each with
managers who oversee day-to-day
trading, rather than investing in fnan-
cial instruments like stocks and bonds.
According to Volent, 25 percent of
Bowdoins funds would have to be rein-
vested if divestment were to be adopted.
First, the investment om ce did not
disclose which fossil-free index it
chose for its study. It likely could have
studied one of its higher-performing
indices. In addition, it is unclear
whether the best way to divest would
be, as the investment om ce study as-
sumes, to simply substitute funds ex-
posed to fossil fuel frms with a fossil-
free index. If 25 percent of Bowdoins
current funds would be afected by
divesting from the top 200 fossil fuel
companies, 75 percent of Bowdoins
other funds would not be exposed.
It would seem as though Bowdoin
could switch the endowment to these
high performing funds which are not
socially responsible per se, but are
also not exposed to fossil fuels.
Secondly, the administration claims
