Last fall, students racked up $8,374
worth of damage to campus residence
buildings, a 63 percent decrease from
the $22,887 incurred last spring.
With $2,665 in charges last semes-
ter, Baxter House once again sus-
tained the most expensive residence
hall damages. Brunswick Apartments
had the second highest cost for the fall
semester with just over $1,000 worth
of damage, and Ladd House had the
third highest fnal cost of $849.
Te majority of Ladd Houses costs
came from a chandelier smashed by a
student during the celebration for the
feld hockey team afer its National
Championship victory.
Ladd House president Julian
Tamayo 16 said that he was glad that
no one was hurt.
As president you want to make
sure that people are having a good
time which was clearly the case, but
for no one to get hurt and for the
mess to get cleaned up pretty shortly
Security to prep students in event of gunman
BY PHOEBE BUMSTED
ORIENT STAFF
Directory of Safety and Security
Randy Nichols is working to cre-
ate a program to train students in
emergency procedures in the event
of an armed shooter on campus.
Although this training does not
yet have a set date or structure,
Nichols said that it could a volun-
tary hour-long presentation begin-
ning as early as this semester.
This presentation has already
been administered to over 300 fac-
ulty and staff as well as all residen-
tial advisors (RAs) and proctors.
The Office of Safety and Secu-
rity has two primary systems of
mass notification in the event of an
emergency.
Blackboard Connect sends mes-
sages by phone, email and text to
students, faculty and staff.
We also have a parent list to
keep parents informed of whats
going on here at the campus in an
emergency, Nichols said.
Cistera Networks projects mes-
sages through the campus phones
in students rooms.
In the event of an emergency, Se-
curity has the ability to lock down
all buildings that require cards.
Security, staff or faculty mem-
bers must manually lock any other
buildings.
Bowdoin is ideally situated for a
very quick emergency response in
the event of an active shooter situa-
tion, Nichols said.
In his training, Nichols gives
three simple steps in the event of
a shooting: Run, hide, fight. The-
first instinct should be to run as far
away from the violence as possible.
If running is too dangerous, hide in
a secure area and stay quiet.
As a final resort, he reccomends
fighting the shooter using any
weapons available.
There are pre-incident indica-
tors, or PINs, that can reveal a
shooting before it occurs. The
shooter may act strangely, hold
grievances against others, say
something odd or even share their
plans.
You can never annoy Security. If
your intuition tells you thats theres
something wrong with a situation,
report it to Security, Nichols said.
Well check it out because nine
times out of 10, if your intuition
says somethings wrong, youre
probably absolutely right.
Nichols hopes to dispel the myth
that a shooting cant happen here.
Violence can occur anywhere, but
he stresses that it is extremely rare.
Of the 150,000 gun homicides in
the United States since the Colum-
bine High School shooting in 1999,
1880.12 percentoccurred in
school settings.
Last week, an armed University
of Southern Maine student locked
himself in a fraternity house near
the Gorham campus and threatened
to shoot other fraternity members,
according to an article in the Port-
land Press Herald. He surrendered
peacefully after a few hours.
Deans call
for review
of health
services
BY JOHN BRANCH
ORIENT STAFF
Bowdoin announced plans this week
to conduct a review of the way the stu-
dent Health Center is structured.
In an email to students and em-
ployees on Monday, Dean of Student
Afairs Tim Foster wrote that the Col-
lege is exploring the idea of outsourc-
ing certain tasks to outside partners
in light of the departure of Director
of Health Services Sandra Hayes and
the implementation of the Afordable
Care Act.
Are there ways to provide students
with greater access to medical special-
ists and improve the coordination of
care between on- and of-campus pro-
viders? Foster wrote. Are there new
ways to manage medical records or to
make emergency services more read-
ily available? What changes might we
make to the Student Health Insurance
Program in light of the Afordable
Care Act?
Tis is an area that is changing in
dramatic and rapid ways, Foster said
regarding health care in an interview
with the Orient. Te whole land-
scape is shifing, not just nationally,
but right in our own town. It seemed
like the right time for us to look at
what might be possible.

Some picture is going to be here
Tis afernoon, 162 students
are taking part in an entrepre-
neurial experiment, hoping to
receive a rarity on the Bowdoin
campus: Chipotle burritos.
Im going to be placing a mass
order for over 100 Bowdoin stu-
dents and Im going to drive
down to Chipotle [Mexican Grill]
in Portland and come back to
school and deliver them through-
out the campus, said Sam Silver-
man 14, the man behind Chipo-
tle Friday.
Silverman said the idea initially
came from a discussion he had
with a friend while he was study-
ing abroad.
We were like Yeah, Chipotle is
pretty far away, but people really
love it so maybe we could do a
Chipotle Friday. Ive heard Colby
does a similar thing.
Silvermans business plan is
straightforward: take orders from
Bowdoin students on the Chipo-
tle Friday Facebook page, place
the order with Chipotle, pick up
the burritos, and deliver them
with help from about ten other
people. He places a $2.50 sur-
charge on each order, not includ-
ing tips for his delivery assistants.
Chipotle Friday has been so
popular that Silverman had to
stop taking orders by Wednesday
night. It has been most popular
among frst years.
I know that people love Chi-
potle so I thought it could be
pretty popular but I couldnt
imagine it being quite this big,
said Silverman. Like 50 percent
of the orders are from freshmen
this has defnitely become a fresh-
man phenomenon.
According to Silverman, the
staf of Chipotle in Portland is ex-
cited about his project.
Teyre totally cool with it
theyre happy its bringing a ton
of business for them that they
wouldnt otherwise have, said
Silverman.
Despite the fact that Silverman
will be delivering so many burri-
tos, he doesnt plan on having one
for himself.
Im a fan of Chipotle[but]
Im probably not even going to get
anythingtheres just so many
burritos that Im handling.
As for the orders, only one
seems to stand out for Silverman.
Someone ordered a double
tortilla which Ive never heard of
on a burritoits craziness.

Every time students swipe their
OneCards, they leave a trail of data
that the College couldyet almost
never doesuse to reconstruct
their movements over a certain
span of time.
The Office of Safety and Security
occasionally uses this data to help
with its investigations.
To access it, Director of Safety
and Security Randy Nichols per-
sonally requests a specific set of
data, which is sent from the On-
eCard office.
The data can be used in con-
junction with camera footage of a
specific place during a window of
time to help solve theft or burglary
cases or to help Security locate a
missing student.
Nichols says OneCard data has
helped Security solve a number of
crimes on campus, and that it is only
used for investigative purposes.
People should realize that any
time you use your OneCard theres
a permanent record of that date,
time and location, said Nichols.
The data is collected, stored and it
is retrievable.
Every time a Bowdoin student
uses a OneCard, data is sent to a cen-
tral database in the OneCard om ce.
Though all the data is acces-
sible by this this office, Director of
Events and Summer Programs Tony
Sprague, who helps run the OneCard
service, says that most of the data is
processed automatically.
According to Sprague, when
data is accessed by members of
the OneCard office, it is mostly for
customer service reasons such as
printing issues or questions about
meal plans and Polar Points.
If we were to do a search we
could see data, but its not some-
thing thats readily looked at, said
Sprague.
The College tries to protect On-
eCard data by limiting who has ac-
cess to it. Departments and offices
only have access to data sets that
pertain to their work.
The Dining Service, for exam-
ple, has access to the numbers of
meal swipes in and out of dining
halls, but not the entire database.
Students and professors have
used OneCard data for academic
projects. Jeremy Lewis 13, working
with Assistant Professor of Math-
ematics Jack OBrien, used the data
to study choice theory by modeling
how people choose which dining
hall to go to.
The swipe data captures a lot
of the social structure of Bowdoin
in a pretty deep way, said OBrien.
Who you go to the dining hall
with really counts as socially im-
portant information.
Because of privacy issues, the
data Lewis used was anonymized.
It was also collected three years
ago. OBrien and Chunyi Zhao 15
are currently expanding upon the
original study, working toward a
more statistics-based analysis.
You can pick up vegans almost
perfectly, said OBrien, because
they so slavishly follow the menus.

IT installs 45 new WiFi
points, develops apps
BY MARINA AFFO
ORIENT STAFF
Information Technology (IT) took
steps to improve the Colleges Wif
network during Winter Break. Chief
Information Om cer for IT Services
Mitch Davis said that IT installed
about 45 new Wif access points
throughout campus and fxed many
of these that were not working last
semester.
Last semester there were several
complaints about wireless connections
at various parts of campus, but IT be-
lieves these changes will go a long way
toward fxing them. One solution that
IT has implemented is setting up tem-
porary access points for special events.
Te department has also partnered up
with Cisco to remodel the entire Bow-
doin data network.
[IT] upgraded the whole wireless
network to the next generation of
wireless controllers and we worked
with Cisco to work out some of the
details, said Davis. Tat gave us
setting for multicastingbasically a
better way to communicate with the
system so it actually bumped up the
performance of all the access point
by about half, 50 percent. So all the
connections should be better and the
bandwidth which you have available
to you should have increased.
Tis new system also reports bet-
ter back to the department. IT can
tell which devices and which models
are being usedbut not to whom
they belongso they can understand
better why the WiFi is so slow.
Davis explained that one of the
main reasons why certain devices are
so slow is that they are out of date.
IT plans on running classes in which
students can learn how to update de-
vices such as iPhones, and not just
apps, so that they better work with
the updated network.
IT has also partnered with Oxford
Networks and a new data network is
being developed at the former Naval
Air Station. For students this means
that if the network ever shut down,
Oxford Networks data network
would serve as a backup.
IT is also considering ofering a
class in which students can learn
about making apps. Te class will
provide students with the tools to
build apps that are relevant to their
daily lives.
Te Information Technology Ad-
visory Council (ITAC) inspired IT to
consider such a class. ITAC is in the
process of developing multiple Bow-
doin-related apps, including a mobile
shuttle tracker app, a ride sharing app
and a schedule app that will allow
students to download their schedules
onto their devices.
As for the app that would allow stu-
dents to order from Jack Magees Pub
on their phones or tablets, which was
discussed last semester, Davis said that
he met with Dining Service on Tues-
day and met with ITAC yesterday to
discuss it further. At this point, Dining
Service is on board. Tere is no time-
table for its development.
IT is still in the process of getting
a Verizon tower put on campus. Da-
vis said that it would most likely ar-
rive by the end of the semester, and
if not by then, defnitely before the
fall semester.
Professors resist removal of
campus tampon dispensers
BY CLARE DESANTIS
ORIENT STAFF
Over the past year and a half,
Facilities have removed tampon
dispensers from a handful of wo-
mens bathrooms across campus,
catching the eye of a handful of
female professors.
Facilities cites a general lack of
use as the main reason for the re-
moval of most of these dispensers
on campus.
We started removing them
probably a year and a half ago, just
whenever we were in the area doing
a remodel or repainting, said Jeff
Tuttle, associate director of facili-
ties operations and maintenance.
A lot of them were in disrepair,
rusted or dented, but the main
reason is just they just werent
being used, Tuttle said. I think
the last time we visited any of the
machines was over a year ago and
very little product had been used
out of the dispensers.
However, many professors have
taken issue with their removal.
This is a big mistake because I
think as a co-ed, residential facility
they should put tampons at least in
all the class room buildings and all
the office buildings, said Suzanne
Lovett, associate professor of psy-
chology.
Upon realizing that tampon dis-
pensers had been removed from
Kanbar Hall, Lovett filed com-
plaints with facilities and informed
Dean of Student Affairs Tim Fos-
ter that the dispensers had begun
disappearing from campus bath-

821 students
participate in
bone marrow
donor drive
BY SAM MILLER
ORIENT STAFF
Representatives from Delete Blood
Cancer DKMS collected DNA sam-
ples via cheek swabs from 821 stu-
dents in Smith Union yesterday to
check for possible matches with can-
cer patients in need of bone marrow.
Te organization worked with
Dave Caputi, head coach of the foot-
ball team, Andrew Lardie, associate
director for service and leadership
at the Joseph McKeen Center for the
Common Good, and student volun-
teers coordinated through the athletic
department.
Tis is the best college I have ever
done. Te leadership, the adminis-
trationvery few school adminis-
trations get behind a bone marrow
drive like this one has, said Donor
Recruiter of DKMS New England Mi-
chael Guglielmo. What an amazing
campus.
With nearly half of the student
body registering as potential donors,
the day was a huge success for DKMS,
an international nonproft that is part
of the largest bone marrow donor cen-
ter in the world. College bone marrow
donor drives generally register about
10 percent of an institutions student
body, and only one in three drives reg-
isters more than 100 people, accord-
ing to Guglielmo.
18- to 25-year-olds comprise over
40 percent of the bone marrow match-
es, he said. So doing a bone marrow
drive with the athletic department
and all the athletes on campus in that
demographic is just ideal.
Guglielmo, who became involved
with DKMS in January 2007, recently
lost his son, Giovanni, to NEMO, a
rare immune-defciency disorder that
can be treated with a bone marrow
transplant.
Now he leads the largest bone mar-
row movement in New England, and
has registered over 65,000 people and
found over 240 matches between do-
nors and patients. Afer todays huge
turnout, Guglielmo plans to return to
Bowdoin to hold frst-year orientation
drives and annual all-campus drives.
Once we start getting matches its
just going to embolden the campus
and solidify this movement here, he
said. Its not painful to be a bone mar-
row donor, but dying is.
back to the College.
Vasquez noted that she has re-
ceived so much from Bowdoin that
it is really significant to have the
opportunity to give back in a mean-
ingful and impactful way.
She also stressed to potential
donors that it is really the thought
that counts, and that students giv-
ing smaller donations to the fund
should not see their contribution as
insignificant.
You may not believe that you
can give enough to create a mean-
ingful impact, said Vasquez in
her opening speech at last nights
event. Participation matters just
as much, if not more, than the
amount of money you give.
The ultimate goal is an 85 per-
cent class participation rate, a feat
that would surpass last years class
by five percent and seems entirely
possible considering the large stu-
dent turnout.
I think its really exciting to
have a big part of our grade be here
tonight and to see the work that
were about to do, said class agent
Katie Ross. I think we can break
the record for best participation.
Students also commented on the
event as a good way to bring the
class together in a relaxed and fun
setting.
Its a blast, said class agent
Jordan Goldberg. Its cool for the
whole senior class to come togeth-
er, all for a good cause: supporting
Bowdoin.
Te class doesnt get to see each
other enough, so its great that we
can all come together in this envi-
ronment, added Marie Centano
14.
This year also marks the first
time that members of the faculty
and staff have been invited to par-
ticipate in the event.
Its really great that Security
can be involved in something like
this, said Campus Security Officer
Allen Daniels, one of many Bow-
doin employees present in Druck-
enmiller Thursday evening.
The campaign does not end with
2014 either; the Class of 2014 Gift
Campaign operates with the hope
that class members will continue
to give to the College after receiv-
ing their diplomas.
There is a donor for every year
that we reach 60 percent [partici-
pation] that will give $10,000,
said Vasquez. So on top of what
we raise as a class, there will be
$10,000 for the next five years for
every year that we reach 60 per-
cent.
President Barry Mills was unable
to attend Thursdays event, but in-
stead appeared onscreen before an

College, it becomes something that
becomes part of their life, he said.
rooms. Shortly after, the dispens-
ers were reinstalled in Kanbar.
Obviously if there is a need or
compelling reason for us to put
them in to select locations that we
hear about, of course we would ac-
commodate that, Tuttle said, add-
ing that there were still dispensers
in Searles and a few other campus
locations as well.
I would hate for a student to
have to leave class for that session
because there wasnt anything in
the local bathroom, Lovett said.
Sophomore Meredith Christian,
agreed, saying the dispensers are
valuable, despite infrequent use.
I rarely use them, but Im al-
ways happy to see them when I
need one, Christian said.
Tricia Welsch, associate profes-
sor of film studies, also notes that
the absence of the dispensers, how-
ever underutilized, has been felt. I
happened to notice there is nothing
on [Sills first floor], said Welsch.
The only perspective I have is
that is seems like a mistake to re-
move such things, Welsch said.
Whether people use them a lot or
a little doesnt matter. If you need
one in an emergency you want it to
be there.
When asked about the dispens-
ers infrequent use, sophomore
Hannah LeBlanc cited the avail-
ability of tampons on campus by
other means than the machines.
Nobody brings quarters and
not tampons so when you ask a
friend, do you have a quarter?
you could just as easily say, do you
have a tampon?

DAMAGES
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
afer that was what made me feel okay
about the incident, said Tamayo.
In this case, a frst year male stu-
dent came forward to take responsi-
bility for the incident, so the cost was
transferred to his bill and the house
faced no repercussions.
Associate Dean of Student Afairs
and Director of Residential Life Mary
Pat McMahon estimated that only 30
to 50 percent of campus damages are
attributed to a particular student or
group of students. In many of these
cases the guilty party only takes re-
sponsibility because they are identi-
fed by other students or by a proctor.
In a spring 2011 alcohol survey,
80 percent of Bowdoin students re-
sponded that the College should
counter property damage spurred by
alcohol use with stricter disciplinary
sanctions. In responseand afer
$23,299 in damages incurred during
the 2011-2012 academic yearthe
College changed their policies so that
students who have not stepped for-
ward and are then found responsible
will be assessed a $100 fne on top
of repairs, according to a September
2012 Orient article.
Students who are found guilty of
malicious damage or vandalism may
have to meet with a dean, and a let-
ter may be sent home to the students
parents. If the students are on athletic
teams, they may have to meet with
their coaches as well. In some cases
students can be placed on probation
or made to do community service in
addition to paying for the damages.
Alcohol is almost always involved,
said McMahon.
She acknowledged that this fact can
play a part in determining the reper-
cussions for the guilty student or stu-
dents.
If no one takes responsibility for
damages, then the cost of repairs is
split among all of the students who
live in that building or on that par-
ticular foor.
Last year we had a push for hav-
ing people come forward so we had a
spike in people taking responsibility.
Tis year that went back down a little
bit partly because we are constantly
re-educating people on that process,
said McMahon.
In the fall of 2013, the Student Gov-
ernment Association of Colby College
passed a motion that would force all
students living on-campus to split the
cost of any unattributed damages. Te
hope is that this initiative will help
to prevent excessive damages in the
future. Te Student Government As-
sociation will send the proposition to
Campus Life for consideration.
McMahon said that no such prop-
osition has been considered at Bow-
doin in the time that she has been
here. She pointed out that it would be
especially dim cult on the Bursars of-
fce to have to add so many small fees
to each students bill.
Te high spring 2013 costs can be
widely attributed to a broken pipe and
subsequent food in Baxters basement;
the house alone racked up $8,324 in
damages. A student took responsibility
for the incident and paid for the costs.
Over the past three years College
Houses have consistently needed the
most costly repairs, with Ladd and
Baxter topping the list. Brunswick
Apartments also had high costs for
repairs over the past three years.
McMahon explained that Ladd
and Baxter ofen are the sites of the
worst damage because of their central
location on campus.
Tey have a lot of tram c, she said.
McMahon added that, beyond
paying for the repairs, College Hous-
es are not punished for excessive
damages.
Te Health Centers current direc-
tor, Sandra Hayes, will leave at the end
of the year.
Senior Associate Dean of Student
Afairs Kim Pacelli will lead the re-
view. To begin, she said, the College is
reaching out to potential partners in
the community.
Weve already been thinking about
what partnerships, in theory, could
look like, said Pacelli. Now, I think
we need to actually sit down and think
about the mechanics.
Foster noted that Bowdoin already
has partnerships with many health
service providers in the area. Most
of those are specialists who provide
services not available on campus, like
orthopedics or lab diagnostics.
Te College hopes to gauge the in-
terest of potential new partners and
outline what its options are by April
1. Ten, Foster said, there would be
some student involvement.
Our interests will continue to be
that our students will continue to have
the highest quality of care, and that
there are not barriers, specifcally f-
nancial barriers, that would prevent
students from having access to care
on campus, said Foster.
Fosters email laid out three op-
tions, two of which involved restruc-
turing. One would involve stam ng the
entire Health Center with workers
from an outside contractor. Another
would keep existing medical staf, but
outsource administrative tasks like
billing and insurance. A third would
keep the Health Center operating as it
has in the past.
Because our staf have a degree of
specialization and expertise in whats
called college health, I would hope that,
if we were to go with another provider,
that provider would talk to the mem-
bers of our staf about opportunities to
staf the operation, Foster said.
Foster and Pacelli both emphasized
that the College is only at the begin-
ning of the review process.
Even though we cant sit here today
and say how its going to go, I think
its important to say that were having
these conversations, said Foster.
Regardless, Foster said, Change of
some magnitude is coming. With
everything thats happening in the
insurance arena, its hard to imagine
were not going to have some type of
change to the insurance, in terms of
how things are done now, he added.
When it comes to insurance, stu-
dents are currently required to either
buy insurance through Bowdoins
plan or have insurance through an-
other provider that meets Bowdoins
standards. Te Afordable Care Act
(ACA) introduced new standards for
college insurance plans.
We already had a lot of the charac-
teristics in place that are now required
under the ACA, said Pacelli, but
there are some things required now,
like pre-existing conditions, dental,
vision, where were waiting to see what
we need to do.
In an Orient survey this fall, the
Health Center had an approval rating
among students of 76 percent. Tat
marked a rise from fall 2012, when
its rating was 69 percent, the lowest of
any om ce included in the survey.
Students appeared interested in re-
form possibilities. Chase Gladden 17
said he had an on-campus injury and
was very pleasantly surprised with
the Health Center.
However, he said he wished they
could help more when it came to co-
ordinating with outside insurance
providers and specialists.
If hiring an outside agency would
help with administrative duties, that
would be good for campus, said
Gladden.
I understand that this is a college,
but at the same time, if we have to go
to Mid Coast, we have to pay money
to go do that ourselves, and the cost
rises, said Chase Savage 16. Tere
are times where I wont go, or Ill say,
oh, its not that bad, because I dont
want to go to the hospital and I dont
want to have to pay that cost.
Savage said that his support for a
restructuring was contingent on easier
access to treatment. I actually would
love if they partnered with an out-
side agency to staf the entire Health
Center, if that would somehow make
it easier to get some services, he said.
But that being said, the biggest thing
for me to look at is whether this will
change tuition costs, and whether this
will change the overall experience in
the Health Center.
Our interests will continue to be
that our students will continue to
have the highest quality of care,
and that there are not barriers,
specically nancial barriers, that
would prevent students from having
access to care on campus.

BSG considers change in
vacation shuttle service
BY HARRY RUBE
ORIENT STAFF
The Student Activities Fund-
ing Committee (SAFC) has about
$60,000 left to spend this semester,
according to a report given at this
weeks Bowdoin Student Govern-
ment (BSG) meeting.
In her report on the SAFCs re-
cent approvals, BSG Vice President
for the Treasury Megan Massa 14
said that the SAFCs remaining total
is less than the same time last year
by $16,000; however, Massa did not
seem worried about the commit-
tees ability to fund student activi-
ties throughout the rest of the year.
Its probably going to be a little
tight, but its better to spend all of
our money on great things than
have all of our money left over
and have underfunded clubs, said
Massa.
The assembly then debated on
the state of BSGs shuttle services
during break. Vice President for
Facilities David Levine 16 argued
that the Colleges switch from us-
ing Brunswick Taxi to Mermaid
Travel to shuttle students to the
airport was a positive change, as it
allows students to schedule shut-
tles upon their return from break,
and includes online sign-up and
payment.
The switch to Mermaid also pro-
vides other benefits. According to
Levine, if a students flight is can-
celled, they are able to get a free
ride back to campus, something
not previously covered by Bruns-
wick Taxi.
Despite these added services,
Levine noted that pricing had been
a common complaint from stu-
dents across the board. Mermaid
Travels shuttles cost $30, com-
pared to the previous Brunswick
Taxi fare of $20.
The other option available is to
charter buses from Bo-Mar Trans-
portation, a Topsham charter ser-
vice. While Levine estimated that
this might be cheaper, it would
also be less flexible in terms of
timing and would require the ac-
tual payment and organization of
the shuttles to be run through BSG
and Student Activities.
The meeting ended without a
decision, and the discussion will
resume at a later date. Any further
switch of the break shuttle service
would not occur until next year, so
Mermaid Travel will continue to
be the BSG-sponsored service for
Spring Break.

Bowdoin Organic Garden grows to include new plot of land
ported by the Dining Services, student
volunteers do much of the work that
goes into food production.
Because this is such a visible spot,
we hope to really increase our partici-
pation and things we can ofer folks
who can just walk over between class-
es, said Cawthon.
Last academic year, the Organic
Garden supplied $35,000 worth of
produce to the dining halls and about
$2,000 worth to the Midcoast Hunger
Prevention Program. Its produce is
comprised of dozens of diferent crops.
In addition to the new farming
land, the property includes a historic
barn that will be used as a small, ver-
satile classroom space. Te Organic
Garden hopes to share the space with
academic departments.
Weve already had two classes
use our property out on Pleasant Hill
Road, and that was the frst time class-
es have ever done actual projects from
our garden, Cawthon said. I think
that it will be so much easier for class-
es to walk over, whether it be biology,
soil science, or outdoor education.
Students have approached
Cawthon about practical skills class-
es like hands-on cooking that could
be hosted in the barn. Additionally,
the nearby dorm could potentially
serve as a gathering space for Or-
ganic Garden programming.
Te functional space is a good
Until this year, aspiring farmers at
Bowdoin have trekked almost three
miles down the road to work on the
crops at the Brunswick-Topsham
Land Trust. Teir walk will get shorter
this spring, with the Bowdoin Organic
Gardens new plot of land right next
to campus on Harpswell Road.
Te College acquired the former
Stevens Retirement Home property at
52 Harpswell Road last year, and has
allotted the half-acre backyard and
barn to the Bowdoin Organic Garden.
Farm Manager Sara Cawthon has
overseen the process of converting the
lot into usable farmland.
Last August or September, we put
in a cover crop to start improving
the soil for growing this year, said
Cawthon. Its super skimpy. All of
Brunswick is on really sandy soil.
Because of the weak soil quality,
light crops such as salad greens will be
planted in the plot. Te harvest will be
served in the dining halls. Brunswicks
fat topography is ideal for farming, but
the soil needs to be supplemented with
nutrients and organic matter from
compost and a cover crop.
While the Organic Garden has two
dedicated staf members and is sup-
Agua de Piedra is delicious,
perfect for fancy occasions
Lingering outside is impossible in
the cold weather that consumes Maine,
so we have taken to the comfort of the
great indoors.
In the midst of swirling eddies of
cold air, we watch Drake shine bright
through a MacBook in Started from

larvortex, but rather throws his arms
wide in the whirling snow, his all-white
outft shining in gaudy defance. Win-

low over Toronto in a jet borne on ket-
amine wings.
Welcome to the new year and the new
us. We fancy up here. Who needs a $10/
bottle price maximum? Were moving
up in the world.
And in the words of Drizzy himself,
started from the bottom, now the whole
team here.
Tis week, we sampled a 2013 Agua
de Piedra Malbec. One of only six grape
varietals allowed in red wines from the
Bordeaux region of France, Malbec has
found unblended success through cul-
tivation in Argentina. Malbecs are gen-
erally dark and high in tannins, with a
distinctive plumlike favor.
Our Malbec poured a rich, dark red.
It clung to the glass, a sure sign of high
alcohol content. A quick label check
confrmed: 13.7 percent. We were in
business. Te nose gave a hit of oak and
earth with a touch of dark fruit. Sharp
but loving; 50 Shades of Greys Chris-
tian Grey in a bottle.
Agua de Piedra is a robust wine. Te
drink has an initial note of elderberry
that slowly fades to a heavy tannic pres-
ence. Smooth in front and strong in
back; our Malbec along with the mul-
let will lead this generation forward
to greatness. Te strong tannins make
slower sipping with meat or pasta a
must. Faster sipping without food would
also work, but make sure youre in a nice
place like the library.
A heavy body supports the earth
tones well. Te weight is well-balanced,
but would not be accompanied well by
a strenuous activity like running. Speak-
ing of sports, Super Bowl! Why not en-
joy this nice Malbec while watching Se-
attle commit multiple counts of uncalled
pass interference.

the salad bar nearing the gherkins and

minutes ago, but whos counting? May-
be you shouldnt have double texted
her. Did you come of as too desperate?
Should you triple text her? Go ahead.
Do it. Or pour another glass of your
2013 Agua de Piedras Malbec and eat
a gherkin.

have 10 or 15 students do a small pro-
gram, whether it be cooking or gar-
dening. Were going to keep the main
little section open, and its defnitely
going to be hooked up to electric.
In the coming spring, Cawthon
hopes the proximity of the new farm
to campus will get students excited
about growing their own food. Soon
enough, the dining halls will be flled
with even more Bowdoin produce.
Students explore Jewish roots on Birthright
Spiritual life for many Jewish students
at Bowdoin is limited to Hillel-spon-
sored Passover events and Yom Kippur
services in Daggett Lounge. However,
over breaks, many students go on Birth-
right trips, which are organized by Taglit
Birthright Israel, a non-proft organiza-
tion that sends nearly 40,000 young,
Jewish adults to Israel each year.
Te program is designed to allow
Jewish youth ages 18 to 26 to explore
their connection to the Jewish faith and
visit tourist destinations in Israel.
Birthright applicants are subject to
strict eligibility requirements and those
wishing to make the trip must be able
to demonstrate that they have at least
one Jewish parent or show proof of their
conversion to Judaism. Tese stipula-
tions are designed to prevent those with-
out a real and legitimate interest from
taking advantage of trip, for which costs
are minimalclose to free.
Sunita Chepuri 14, who made the
Birthright trip in January 2012, spoke
positively about her experience, during
which she was able to see many diferent
parts of the country.
We started in the north, where we
did some hiking and went to a kibbutz,
Chepuri said. Ten we came further
south, went to Jerusalem and to the
Western Wall, and to...Tel Aviv for a day,
which was pretty cool; then went further
south, where we saw the Dead Sea.
Dan Lipkowitz 14 says he had several
reasons for going on a trip.
Israel as a country is just a really in-
teresting place; I wanted to be able to see
the country and also experience the cul-
ture, and I thought it was great to have
an opportunityespecially one thats
freeto do that, Lipkowitz said. Also,
I grew up in a fairly religious household,
and while Im not as religious as I used
to be, I thought it would be interesting
to revisit my relationship with Judaism
and that this was a good way to do that.
Amanda Minof 15, who made the
trip in 2012, said her choice was moti-
vated by the allure of subsidized travel
and the cultural relevance of the region.
Its just a really amazing opportunity
that I dont think anyone should pass up;
its free travel to a very important part
of the world...and a chance to get to the
placeand to see and experience itis
really important, said Minof.
For some, however, the experience
was not a wholly positive one.
Sophie Binenfeld 17 described the
Birthright experience of her sister, who
reported feeling pressure from her Is-
raeli counterparts to immigrate to Israel.
Tey say that they want to ofer us a
cultural experience, but from what Ive
heard, theyre also trying to convince us
to move there, said Binenfeld.
Although the political climate in Is-
rael is quite heated, most students inter-
viewed said they felt that Birthright trips
promoted fair and balanced discussions.

leaderswere really open minded and
down to have discussions, Minof said.
Tere were some organized activities
where we had to come up with a plan
[for a two-state solution], and even
though we werent going to solve any-
thing, it was interesting...to think about
very real issues.
Students said the degree to which
Birthright engages local political issues
seems to vary from trip to trip. Lipkow-
itz said that though he did feel that his
trip endorsed a specifc political agenda,
he believes his experience was kind of
an anomaly.
What Ive heard from most people
is that they try to avoid the political as-
pect, essentially, Lipkowitz said. Mine,
though, did ofer political viewpoints,
ones that I didnt necessarily agree with
because I felt that they might have sim-
plifed the Middle East confict...It was
kind of ofering opinions on how much
support you have to ofer Israel and
whether that connection is purely politi-
cal or if its a part of Judaism.

And as a senior who is still try-
ing to figure out what I want to be
when I grow up, it goes beyond
patience. Everyone worries over
endings, maybe because we expect
things to change or be taken away.
So the unknown makes us wea-
ry, I guess. But graduation is a lot
like the final measure of the last
song on your favorite albuma

Beyond it, there just might be
another song, another instru-
mental, another whole experience
that we cant predict. It only feels
strange because we arent used to
letting things happen to us, letting
chance take over.
What if the whole time we are
scared, though, we decide to trust
that whatever comes at the end
of the quiet will be worth it, that
sometimes the best part of the al-
bum plays when you least expect it.
I keep telling myself to let the
next few makeshift months happen
as they may. To see if, instead of
dreading the ending and the wait-
ing, I will be able to enjoy the si-
lence as much as Ive enjoyed the
music; knowing all along that there
will be a moment when the gui-
tar kicks in and, out of nowhere,
a track Ive never heard starts to
play.
-Emily Powers, Class of 2014
If youve heard it, you know. By
now, most of us would have come
across it on some CDs we listened
to with our parents when we were
kids. The last song ends, fades or
crashes out, then silence. But the
stereo, or CD player or car radio
keeps running quietlyyou hear
the internal mechanisms click
while the CD spins.
And for some reason (your dad
is up to his shirt sleeves in grocer-
ies while your mom is cursing out
telemarketers over the phone, and
your uncle is maneuvering traffic
at rush hour) no one turns the sys-
tem off.
Minutes go by and youre no
longer paying attention to the CD,
because it is over and the daily
world has distracted you. Youre
sitting at the kitchen counter or in
the passenger seat thinking about
how they get lead into pencils,
and out of the nothingness comes
a chord. Then another. And sud-
denly there is an outburst of that
familiar voice, a fever of brass and
bass licks.
You look around to see where
the music is coming from, con-
fused. When you realize that the
CD has come back to life, you
imagine the band members having
held their breath for the past four
minutes. Thats a ghost track.
If youve never heard a ghost
track before, it isnt because theyre
rare. Most would argue that the
first came from The Beatles on
their Abbey Road album, but
theirs certainly wasnt the only
one.
From the Clashs London Calling
to Jay-Zs Blueprint, from Coldplay
to the Black Keys to Kanye to Dave
Matthews, ghost tracks show up
across the board.
So you really like Ed Sheeran?

ond pause at the end of Give

these days, iTunes names

couldnt skip ahead or fast-for-

HOOKED BY
THE BOOKS
A small colleges symbolic center
has always been its library, but at
Bowdoin, it doesnt look like any-
thing special. Hawthorne-Longfel-
low Library does its job without any
of Hubbards gothic panache, and
by now wears its fluorescence and
bad textiles with a tired comfort.
The library instead comes alive
through the fulfillment of elabo-
rate routinesshelving, catalogu-
ing and loaning its treasures to the
rest of us. There isnt much wonder
that goes into the average swipe,
beep and stamp of checking out a
book, but to trace these patterns
as they wind through the unthink-
able breadth of the collection is a
bit exhilarating.
I worked at the library over the
summer of 2013, doing the osten-
sibly monotonous. I accepted bins
of books from the UPS guy, rifed
through them, and placed them on
hold shelves.
I gathered long loaves of them
that accumulated in the re-
turns, gingerly locating
their homes among
the stacks. I swad-
dled them in
bubble wrap
and sent
t hem
away for mem-
bers of far-fung faculties to thumb
through.
But to describe it so matter-of-
factly is disingenuous. What I was
really doing was submerging my at-
tention momentarily into thousands
of little bits of printed esoterica. I
was absorbing the idioms, typogra-
phies, illustrations, humor,
prejudices and aesthet-
ics of generations. I was
sort of in heaven, but in a diminu-
tive heaven that usually must be re-
served for trainspotters, monks or
other obsessives.
It was a perfunctory paradise. Te
beeps of barcodes and
the fipping of
pages
the tusk of a narwhal is really its
overgrown right incisor, while the
lef invariably atrophies. One day a
resolute homeless man stared at me
from a photo essay, holding a sign
on which he had scrawled, One day
I will build an empire.
It was not exciting in the same
way as, say, watching basketball
multiplied and layered themselves
so as to become quietly sublime. Its
an unnatural feeling, for example,
to be able to compare the collect-
ed writings of diferent American
presidents by weight. Or to happen
upon the ominous cover of WIRED
magazines Y2K edition, now yel-
lowing in the basement. Or to pore
over mountains of antique defense
maps, tracing exotic archipelagos
and villages in the Caucasus that I
will never visit.
If theres a lasting effect of
the librarys orbit, it can best
be described as a patient
insatiability, holding
onto the impossible
hope of following the
apocryphal footsteps of
the Renaissance humanist
who was said to have read ev-
ery published book.
Like the determined man in the
photo, it is the promise of an even-
tual empire within the mind. I dont
work in the library anymore, but I
still have a sense of an inexorable
drift, not unlike that of the nar-
whals right tooth. As if I m ight spi-
ral lazily outwards, past the barrier
of my corporeal self and
into the sea of printed
words.

UNDER THE MICROSCOPE: These magnied images of brightly lit cells were taken by students in Professor Bruce Kohorns cell biology classes and are currently on display in the Fishbowl Gallery in the Visual Arts Center.
ents plant and animal cells during
different cell processesresembles
neon signs more than nature.
Te students obtained these im-
ages using the Colleges cell biol-
ogy imaging facility which includes
seven compound fuorescence
microscopes, computer capture
sofware, and an National Science
Foundation-funded confocal micro-
scope able to capture 3-D images.
Te images are a result of using fuo-
rescence instead of refection, as is
common in most microscopes.
Kohorn said the idea for the
show was based on his apprecia-
tion of the beauty of nature.
In class, I really try to help the
students understand the impor-
tance of a pleasing image rather
than just something for informa-
tion, he said.
The students have taken this les-
son to heart and expanded their
perspective on imaging.
You definitely have your mo-
ments when you just stop thinking
about what youre actually study-
ing and looking for and just think,
Thats awesome; thats a gorgeous
picture, said Noah Gavil 14, one
of Kohorns students.
Part of what the students find
amazing is that although the im-
ages document ordinary organic
processes, they can look incandes-
cent with just a few manipulations.
Its always cool when youre
looking under a microscope and
start shining UV light at it and see-
ing what fluoresces, said Gavil.
Even just a water droplet looks so
cool as an individual image.
Kohorn himself organized the
majority of the show. Using the vi-
sual arts departments equipment,
he printed and mounted the images.
However, the final selection of
images was made collectively by
the students.
There are a lot of pictures that
are wonderful, but I cant show
them all, said Kohorn. I didnt
want to exclude anyone so [I] rep-
resented the whole class as having
contributed to the show.
Kohorn said that this sort of ex-
hibit is not new within the scientifc
community, but that the art-science
form has just now come to Bowdoin.
Last year, there was an exhibit
in the Bowdoin College Museum
of Art done by Collin Roessler of
the Earth and Oceanographic Sci-
ence Department, that similarly
displayed scientific processes in an
artistic way, albeit the photos were
of glaciers and icebergs rather than
cells undergoing mitosis.
I think its good to think out-
side of your small box. I think its
good to explore different ways of
looking at things, he said. Aes-
thetic is really important.
Tis art form can serve as a unique
way of documenting scientifc work.
The way you present your
dataoften how you visualize it
can really be extremely important,
said Gavil. Even if youre not do-
ing something where literally the
data is a pictureor has a visual
arts componentyou try to make
it into some visual representation.
When Daft Punk exhorted musi-
cians to Give Life Back to Music,
it seems like they took it to heart.
Yo 71, Imma let you finish, but
2013 was one of the best years for
music of all time. Here are some of
my favorite albums from the past
12 months, minus Yeezus.
Mutual Benefit - Loves
Crushing Diamond
At last, the banjo has been re-
claimed from Mumford & Sons by
a multi-instrumentalist worthy of
the Heir to Sufjan title. Recorded
on the road during a tour of tiny
midwestern venues, Loves Crush-
ing Diamond is breathtakingly
gorgeous. It is an album resplen-
dent with shimmering strings and
warbling vocals. A delicate, transi-
tory record, it clocks in at just over
a half hour, and is all the more pre-
cious because of it.
Darkside - Psychic
The debut album of ambient
wunderkind (and recent Brown
graduate) Nicolas Jaar and his
friend Dave Harrington, Darkside
takes LCD Soundsystems guitar-
turntable dialectic and extends it
to its logical conclusion. The al-
bum fuses woozy sounds, boozy
vocals, and shoe-gazey guitar-work
into a syncretic soundscape. Open-
er Golden Arrow sets the stage,
taking a full five minutes to build a
twerking, jerking guitar riff out of
an ethereal morass of sound before
slipping into a comfortable groove
for the next seven minutes. The rest
of the record is no less weird, espe-
cially the initiation ritual chant of
The Only Shrine Ive Seen.
My Bloody Valentine m b v
Kevin Shields had been promis-
ing a new MBV album for years, but
I think wed all given up hope. The
record they returned withtheir
first in 22 years after the ground-
breaking (and still perfect) Love-
lessshows what reclusive per-
fectionists can do given unlimited
time and sky-high expectations.
a new track back in February. She
Found Now opens the album like
a hurricane in a bell jar, roaring
with odd detachment and quiet
devastation. The album is a superi-
or release to this years other long-
awaited (and also pretty good) al-
bum, Daft Punks Random Access
Memories, and is every bit as well
produced. Each guitar tremolo,
snare hit, and unintelligible lyric
is in exactly the right place. My
Bloody Valentine once defined an
era, but with m b v they prove
that their sound is timeless.
Arcade Fire - Reflektor
Just how high were the stakes
for Arcade Fires new album,
the bands fourth release after a
decade-long run of cathartic, an-
themic, fantastic records? So high
that they brought in James Mur-
phy to produce it and upped the
ante once more with the Septem-
ber release of the title track. When
the album finally dropped, after a
drawn out tease release, fans were
nonplussed. What the hell were
we listening to? A Haitian-tinged
disco fest about Greek mythology
and Baudrillard? What happened
to the transcendent woah ohs,
the songs about childhood and in-
nocence, or, for that matter, a lead-
ing part for Regine? Reflektor is
more Achtung Baby or Fear of
Music than Kid A. Its grooves
are irresistible, but the kids al-
ways knew how to dance. Whats
new is its playfulness, its carnival-
style damned-if-I-do attitude that
makes being trapped in a reflek-
tor sound like the right moment
to pop the balloons, fill the room
with confetti, and dance.
Vampire Weekend- Modern
Vampires of the City
No one was expecting Vampire
Weekend to release an album this
good. Teir debut was promising,
and their follow-up more of the
same, but Ezra and his Columbia
cohorts always seemed more preoc-
cupied with seeming smart than ac-
tually being smart. Tey strip away
the pretense, however, on Modern
Vampires of the City. From Rostams
funky vocal manipulations to Ezras
lyrical poetry, this is a rich poignant
record that has each band member
on point. Maturity suits these Ivy
Leaguers, as Ezra waxes eloquently
about God, wisdom and a girl in his
sophomore English class.
Vampire Weekend proves that it
can reappropriate the best song of
the last decade and turn it into a con-
tender for the best song in this one:
instead of Hey Ya, Ill be squealing
Ya Hey for the next 10 years.

ORIENT STAFF
Tell me a little bit about your in-
volvement with WBOR.
Im a music director on man-
agement. Ive been a DJ since the
beggining of sophomore year and
music director since the middle of
sophomore year. Ive had one show
for a long time with a co-DJ, Jay
Priyadarshan 14, and Ive had my
own show for a couple years now.
What does a music director do?
I get new music from anyone
who wants to be played on College
radio, and I do little reviews for our
DJs to show them what they might
want to play on their show.
Whats your show called?
My solo show name is Tomder
and Lightening. Te show I have
with Jay is Te Lazy Zoo with Tom
and Jay.
How did you get involved with
WBOR?
I wanted to do a show all fresh-
man year but I was a little indeci-
sive about it, I didnt feel like I had
a lot to contribute. Sophomore year
I was like, Lets do it, and I got a
show with Jay. Immediately afer
that, I started meeting management
and they needed a music director,
so I applied sophomore year.
What kind of music do you play?
So, genres are hard, as Im sure
you know. Te college music jour-
nal is the way we chart a lot of our
music. By their classifcations I
play rock, loud rock, RPM, world,
and hip-hop. Im defnitely on the
garage-y, sof-rock side.
How do you come up with music
to play on air? Is there an art to ar-
ranging songs?
Ofen its what I want, although
Ive been getting better at starting
with something sofer and more
widely known, and then I can move
into a more specialized zone. My
M.O. is to play stuf thats just com-
ing out or being chartedvery new
albumsbecause its good to show-
case those artists and theres some
novelty there.
What was appealing about get-
ting a show?
Te classical appeal is you get
to play your own music and peo-
ple have to listen to it. You get to
monologue and talk about what
you care about. Like, sophomore
year Occupy Wall Street was going
on so I got to talk about that on my
show. Its a direct relationship with
the community, more direct than I
think a lot of the systems we have at
Bowdoin are.
How do you interact with the
community?
Tis is one of the bigger radio
stations around that people listen
to, so you have to cater to their
tastes. People call in to my show.
And we have a lot of community
members who are DJs.
What would you like to do with
your platform on WBOR?
When we talk, Jay tries to make
jokes on the air. I try to mention
things that are important to peo-
ple. I prefer issues outside of the
Bowdoin community because I
think the majorityor at least our
more permanentlisteners want to
hear about that. Ill let the other DJs
cater to the Bowdoin issues.
Now the fun questions: Whats
your guilty pleasure song?
Gas PedalI defnitely like that
song and I defnitely feel guilty for
that. Although maybe I shouldnt
feel guilty about my pleasures.
Who sings that song?
I dont know. Thats part of why
Im guilty.
What about a song you couldnt
live without?
Tame ImpalaHalf Full Glass
of Wine.
What makes it so special?
Its so simple, but its everything I
like. Its drone-y, melodic. Te song
makes you familiar with itself.
Does that song pretty well rep-
resent your taste in music?
I think so, yeah.
Whats the song thats had the
biggest impact on you and your
taste in music?
This takes me way back to
high school, because thats when
I started getting in to stuff that I
listen to now. Ill go with Street
Spirit by Radiohead.
What is one thing about your
taste in music that you dont
think people could guess based on
what you play on WBOR?
I feel like I do bare myself on my
show. Maybe I dont show enough
about what I dislike. Maybe I could
play a song and say, I dont like
that because of x, y and z. At the
same time Im sure people think
Im kind of pretentious based
on what Im playing, so maybe I
should assert that Im not.
So, what are you working on at
WBOR now?
We want to do certain pro-
gramming slots. We want no more
dubstep on Sunday mornings, or
talk shows in the afternoon when
people will be driving around.
Anything else you want people
to know about WBOR?
I want people to know that for
campus clubs and organizations,
if they want to do something on
the air, were totally open to that.
Te student-run Bowdoin Cable
Network (BCN) is working hard to
regain its former viewership under the
leadership of presidents Destiny Guer-
rero 14, Rickey Larke 15, and vice-
president Julin Huertas 16.
Currently, the stations most popu-
lar production is Te House, a moc-
kumentary-style series of 10-minute
episodes based on the lives of Quinby
House residents. Featuring a variety
of planned and improvised scenes
and a rotating cast of actors from
across campus, episodes debut at
campus premieres and are aferward
uploaded to Youtube.
Huertas came up with the idea for
the series afer watching an episode
of BCNs old show Te Dorm
which is loosely based on NBCs
Te Om ce.
According to Huertas, the series is
most popular with sophomores, al-
though its helping BCN gain popular-
ity with the entire student body.
Huertas said that getting the series
started has not been easy.
I was really disappointed because
there was a lot of talk about potential
projects [last year] but nothing got
done, said Huertas.
In addition, the network faced a va-
riety of technical issues.
Te audio for each camera was es-
sentially goneand the cameras were
very obsolete, he said.
Larke said one of the main challeng-
es of getting BCN back in gear has been
acquiring the necessary equipment.
Now that the show is up and run-
ning, the producers hope it will spark
a comeback.
We dont just want Te House to
continue, we want BCN to experience
a revival, said Huertas.
Trough Te House, people have
started to realize that BCN is coming
back and weve gotten a lot of requests
to do thingssuch as BCNews, or dif-
ferent clubs want promotional videos,
added Huertas.
Te House is kind of geared to-
wards sophomores, more or less, or
freshmanpeople who dont really
know much about the social house
experience or are in the midst of the
social house experience, Larke said.
The first episode has 692 views
on YouTube.
However, the club is still far
from achieving Larkes goal of
campus acclaim.
I have never heard of [Te House],
Liam Ford 17 said.
Ive seen their posters aroundI
want to watch, said Penelope Lusk 17.
She added that she has never actually
seen an episode.
I just watch Te House because
Im in Quinby, Marina Marlens 16
said, I always assumed [BCN] was
past its prime.
Tough BCN once played a more
active role on campus by publicizing
various campus events in a news seg-
ment, it has faced several challenges in
recent years.
By the time I joined the club there
were no members other than me
and Destiny and a few other people,

deadright now were breathing new
life into BCN.
Another challenge the network
faces is acquring funding for updat-
ing equipment.
BCN hadnt been doing things for
almost two years, so it was hard to get
funding when you dont have any con-
tent to show, said Larke.
Huertas mentioned that the network
is working with alumni as well as the
Student Activities Funding Committee
to try and secure funding.
Larke stated his vision for the club
as: a place where people can bring
their idea and explore it.
I want to make a foundation where
people can have BCN as an outlet to
create any type of video, television, or
flm, he added.
Steve Messina 14, a member of
the ice hockey team, said that he
would watch sports programming
because it is hard as an athlete to
keep up with the matches of other
teams. He said he does not currently
watch BCNs programs.
To increase viewership, BCN is
looking to create a sports recap seg-
ment, and hopefully recreate BCNews.
Additionally, the leaders are hoping to
have BCN become an outlet for those
interested in flm production.
I want people to join to teach
them how flming works, how editing
works, how running a show works,
said Huertas.
Right now, the group is mostly
working on creating content to begin
building a consistent audience.
We want people to view this thing
thats the biggest part, said Larke.

Millers, Crimp lead nordic
skiing in rst 14 carnivals
Te nordic skiing team is look-
ing to improve its ranking among
the schools represented in the New
England Nordic Ski Association this
winter.
Both this season and historically,
the Polar Bears have routinely fn-
ished in or around 10th place out
of the 13 to 14 competitors repre-
sented at each meet, known as car-
nivals among Nordic skiers.
Head Coach Nathan Alsobrook
expressed his desire to see the Polar
Bears at seventh or eighth place in
the carnivals this winter.
Teres a glass ceiling, said Al-
sobrook. Were trying to break
through to get to that mid-level of
the conference.
Te teams overall score, however,
is not necessarily indicative of indi-
vidual performances on the team.
Te nice thing is that were see-
ing a lot of individual results im-
prove, said Alsobrook. Tats re-
ally been our big success so far.
Last Saturday, at the University of
New Hampshire, Kaitlynn Miller 14
fnished in the top ten in both the
5K classic and 15K freestyle events,
with times of 14:54.6 and 43:24.8,
respectively. She earned nine points
in total towards qualifying for the

17-2 womens hoops awaits Trinity, Amherst
BY ALEX MARECKI
ORIENT STAFF
The womens basketball team
continued its exceptional run this
week, recording victories against
Colby and Husson on Saturday and
Tuesday, respectively. The squad
now boasts a very impressive 17-2
record this season.
The Polar Bears met stern op-
position on Saturday in their fifth
NESCAC contest of the year. After
a stellar 16-point first-half perfor-
mance from sophomore standout
Shannon Brady, Bowdoin held
a 40-33 halftime lead at Morrell
Gymnasium. The Mules closed
to within four points of the Polar
Bears with 18 minutes to play, but a
powerful response from the home
team was too much for the Colby
defense to handle.
Bowdoin proceeded to score 18
unanswered points and won 73-
53. Brady scored a game-high 22
points, while captains Sara Bink-
horst 15 and Kristen Prue 14
scored 11 and eight, respectively.
Offensively, we have a very
balanced attack, said captain Al-
lie Piscina 14. We know anyone
is bound to step up on any given
night, and against Colby we did a
really good job incorporating the
whole team.
Bowdoin hosted the Husson Ea-
gles on Tuesday in their last non-
conference game of the season.
The women never trailed once on
tion for qualifying now with her
finishes last weekend, said Also-
brook, though he stressed that it
was still too early to be taking any-
thing for granted.
Miller successfully qualifed for
nationals last year, which made
her the frst Bowdoin skier to do so
since 1997.
In the classic event, Miller was
followed by her sister Hannah Mill-
er 17, who took 16th with a time of
15:15.15.
Te younger Millers future with
the team was uncertain as recently
as a few months ago.
We werent sure whether Han-
nah Miller was going to make it on
the team, said Eva Spaeh 16. Shes
really worked hard and improved
herself; shes now skiing sixth and
seventh on the team.
Its very hard to come into the
college circuit as a first year and
be competitive, but [Hannah has]
been able to make that transition so
successfully, said Alsobrook. This
is perhaps the most successful sea-
son so far that weve seen out of one
of our first years.
For the men, James Crimp 14
earned a ninth-place finish in the
mens 10K classic at the Colby
Carnival, with a finishing time of
32:25.5, the best Bowdoin result
since 2008. In the 15K freestyle
the next day, he posted a time of
38:53.3, good enough for 22nd
place.

No. 19 mens basketball
to play No. 3 Amherst
Over a month ago, in the midst
of its season-opening 12-game win-
ning streak, the mens basketball team
handily beat Colby (8-8 overall, 1-4
NESCAC) by 18 points at home in an
out-of-conference matchup. Last Sat-
urdays rematch was much closer. With
a second place position in the NES-
CAC on the line, the Polar Bears nar-
rowly edged the Mules 64-59 in Mor-
rell Gymnasium to improve to 15-1 on
the season (4-1 NESCAC).
Afer raining down six threes and
scoring 28 points on only 14 shots
in the teams frst meeting, Andrew
Madlinger 14 was locked down by the
Colby defense, which only allowed him
to take seven shots the entire game.
With Madlinger kept in check, the
No. 22 Polar Bears were still able to
take a 35-28 lead going into halfime
with the help of the frontcourt duo of
juniors John Swords and Keegan Pieri.
Afer Colby tied the game with just
over 11 minutes lef in regulation,
Bowdoin quickly regained the lead

by racing of to a 10-2 run. But the
Mulesfar from defeatedchipped
the lead down to fve with 55 seconds
to go.
Electing to make Bowdoin win the
game on the free-throw line, Colby re-
sisted the urge to shoot three-pointers
and the Mules Luke Westman drove
into the lane for an easy two to cut the
lead down to three.
Colbys pressure on the subsequent
inbounds play forced the Polar Bears
into a turnover, giving Colby the ball
and a chance to tie the game with 17
seconds lef. But the Mules missed their
three-point attempt and Grant White
14 made a pair of free throws on the
other end to seal the win.
Tey just picked up their intensity
all over the place, said Lucas Hausman
16 on Colbys transformation since
their last meeting. It threw us out of
what we do a little bit but we were able
to get back to it and pull it out.
Tey really got out at guys, were
physical, and tried to get us out of
what we were trying to do and were
successful with that to a degree, said
Head Coach Tim Gilbride. Whats
been good about our team, though, I
think we are capable of taking what-
ever the other team is going to give us.
We were able then to get the ball inside
their way to an 85-50 victory. After
a slow start, Bowdoin pulled ahead
to a 44-29 lead at halftime. After
intermission the Polar Bears con-
tinued to press the Eagles, at one
point increasing their lead to as
many as 40 points.
Fourteen different players
scored for Bowdoin on the night,
evidence of a very capable and
hungry bench. Piscina and Bink-
horst led the scoring for the Polar
Bears with 12 and 11 points on the
strong, with Kyle Lockwood 14 scor-
ing the teams frst goal afer less than a
minute of play.
Afer clearing the puck out of
Bowdoins defensive zone, Connor
Quinn 15 took the puck up the right
side, passing to Harry Matheson 14.
Matheson passed back to Quinn who
had positioned himself at the front of
the net.

I think we have great leader-

depth, explained Head Coach
Adrienne Shibles. We have a very
young team and the way we have
achieved this season speaks very
highly for what is to come.

Piscina is happy with the current
team dynamic.
The upperclassmen have done
a good job incorporating the whole
team, she said. We are very happy
to have players consistently play-
ing well and there are definitely
players who have been developing
this year that will continue to im-
prove for years to come.
This coming weekend the Polar
Bears will host a huge weekend
of NESCAC action. Bowdoin will
play Trinity College (3-2 NES-
CAC) tonight and No. 13 Amherst
College (4-1 NESCAC) tomorrow
in Morrell Gymnasium.
If we want to be successful this
weekend we need to focus on our
strengths and use our size in the
post, explained sophomore Nina
Hadzibabic. When we play Am-
herst they will be a very tall team
so we will have to mark up well on
their dangerous players.
We are looking at this weekend
one game at a time, said Shibles.
Both Trinity and Amherst are
very physical teams and great at re-
bounding. We need to increase our
physicality in the paint in order to
be successful.
After this weekend the Polar
Bears will only have three games
remaining in the regular season.
The women are currently ranked
third in the NESCAC and the next
five games will go a long way to de-
termining their playoff seed.
Alsobrook. Hes definitely some-
one who could qualify if he has

Riley Eusden 14 also managed
to place within the top half of con-
testants, fnishing 42nd in the 10K
classic and in 34th place in the free-
style, with a time of 39.29.5.
[Eusden] is defnitely someone I
want to take a moment to praise, said
Alsobrook. Hes been working hard

fnally have this big breakthrough last

bined 9-15 from beyond the arc and
Hausman, Neil Fuller 17, and Marko
Peraica 15 added 16, 11, and 9 from
the bench, respectively.
Hausman has been the teams sixth
man all season, producing big num-
bers in limited minutes coming of
the bench.

too, I just try and bring as much en-
ergy into the game, said Hausman.
If our ofense is a little stagnant or if
were not doing what we need to do I
just try to bring some energy and pick
everybody up.
Te teams ability to pull from its tal-
ented bench has been an essential part
of its success this season.
Weve needed contributions from a
lot of people on our team to pull out
diferent games along the way, said
Gilbride. Were certainly going to
need that in the games coming up.
Bowdoin is preparing for games
against Trinity and No. 3 Amherst
tonight and tomorrow. As the team
enters the heart of the NESCAC
schedule it needs to continue its suc-
cess to remain near the top of the
conference standings.
I think were pretty confdent, said
Gilbride. Were capable of playing a
higher scoring game or a lower scor-
ing game depending on how the fow
of the game goes.

Richard Sherman is an absolute delight
If youve made even a minimal at-
tempt to follow football over the past
couple of weeks, youre probably sick
of hearing about Richard Sherman. In
fact, the noise about Sherman has been
so deafening that this may not be the
frst piece youve read beginning with
that sentence.
In case youve tuned out, heres the
SparkNotes version: Sherman is one of
the best defensive players in the NFL,
and hell be the frst to tell you so. A cou-
ple weeks ago, Sherman clinched a Su-
per Bowl berth for his Seattle Seahawks
in the NFC Championship Game by
breaking up a last-minute pass intended
for one of his many rivals, San Francisco
wide receiver Michael Crabtree. Sher-
man taunted Crabtree afer the play,
which was pretty standard behavior for
perhaps the leagues biggest loudmouth.
But the real dram came afer the
fnal whistle. In a live postgame inter-
view with FOXs Erin Andrews, Sher-
man looked directly into the souls
of viewers at home and shouted that
Crabtree was a sorry receiver. He also
yelled, Dont you open your mouth
about the best, or Ima shut it for you
real quick, which, of course, is a dope
thing to yell on live television.
Unfortunately, not all FOX viewers
shared my enthusiasm. Many fans took
to Twitter, fooding the website with
tweets calling Sherman an animal and a
thug. Many more skipped right past the
euphemisms and openly called Sher-
man the n-word.
Te disgusting words of grown
adults became a story of their own, dis-
tracting from legitimate debate about
Shermans conduct. Hes pissed of too
many opponents to name, many of
whom happen to be multi-time Pro
Bowlers. His on-feld behavior is brash
and arrogant. He acts without decorum
and violates rules both written and un-
written. He is unsportsmanlike. He is
an asshole.
All of which is to say that hes an ab-
solute delight to watch on the football
feld. Football is but a game, and those
who deviate from standard pigskin
etiquette always make things more in-
teresting. Curmudgeonly old fans love
to call Sherman classless and disre-
spectful, but the man is nothing if not
entertaining. Crabtree smacked him
in the face last week. Carolina Pan-
ther Steve Smith helicoptered him to
the turf earlier this season. 325-pound
Washington Redskin Trent Williams
straight up punched him in the jaw
afer last years playof game between
the two teams. Te next week, Falcons
receiver Roddy White gave Sherman
a taste of his own medicine, burning
the corner for a long touchdown and
subsequently taunting him.
As a Patriots fan, I was frst intro-
duced to Shermans antics early last
season, when the Seahawks beat us (I
play for the team). Sherman chased
down Tom Brady afer the victory and
goaded the quarterback with the time-
tested gibe, You Mad, Bro? When
asked about Sherman last week, Brady
said he respects his opponents and wins
graciously and suggested that Sherman
does not do the same, which, duh. But
any time you can get Touchdown Tom
to wax sanctimonious about the pre-
cious Patriot Way, youre doing some-
thing right.
Shermans bold behavior is mag-
nifed by the fact that he is perpetu-
ally in the spotlight. Cornerbacks are
perhaps the most vulnerable players
on a football feld and he embraces
the challenge. Lef one-on-one with
footballs best receivers, he shuts them
down nearly every timewhen quar-
terbacks dare to throw his way, that is.
Despite not being targeted ofen, Sher-
man led the league in interceptions this
season, picking of eight passes. Hes
63, strong, and quick for his size. His
game-saving play against Crabtree last
week encapsulated his game, a feat of
technique, athleticism and intelligence.
Speaking of intelligence, many de-
fended Sherman from Twitters best
and brightest two weeks ago by arguing
that, hey, Sherman went to Stanford,
and Stanford does not admit thugs.
While this may be true, it was irrelevant
and a perplexing argument to make
against racists who did not deserve to
be addressed at all. Nonetheless, Sher-
man is indeed smart as a whip, and
he may be the most entertaining of all
NFL players in press conferences. In the
days leading up to the Super Bowl, hes
somehow turned question afer stupid
question into thoughtful and hilarious
answers. In the last couple days alone,
Ive seen Sherman patiently answer
questions about the leagues marijuana
policy and, incredibly, players sup-
posed conduct at strip clubs. I dont
know how some of these people got
press passes.
On Sunday, all eyes will be on Sher-
man as he takes on all-time great quar-
terback (and corporate shill for Papa
Johns) Peyton Manning. Manning
rewrote the NFLs passing records this
year at the age of 37, and his receiving
corps is overwhelming in its stylistic
diversity and overall talent. Facing the
biggest challenge of his career with
everything on the line wont stop Sher-
man from running his mouth, though.
By all means, take to Twitter and exer-
cise your divine right to talk shit about
Richard Sherman. Just dont take your
eyes of the screen for too long, or youll
be missing a hell of a show.

Tim Long 17 has already
made some revisions to Bow-
doins record books during his
short time on the mens swim
team, breaking the 1000-yard
freestyle record with a 9:55.32
time against Bates on Janu-
ary 17. Conrad Stuntz 94 had
held the record at the College
since his senior year. Long
won the 1000 free and took the
500-yard freestyle in the same
meet. He has followed the re-
cord-setting performance with
wins in both categories at Wes-
leyan, dominating the 1000
with a 12-second cushion.
We talked about it at the be-
ginning of the season, and we
thought all three of them (500,
1000, 1650) would go down
this year, said Nate Garner
17, adding that Long had been
close to breaking the Bowdoin
records since the beginning of
the season.
Long began swimming at
age five, joined a competitive
summer league soon after, and
was swimming year-round by
age nine.
My friends were all swim-
ming, Long said, It was a
summer camp kind of thing.
Then I won my first heat, got
the blue ribbon and realized I
like winning too.
Long knew as early as his
first year in high school that he
wanted to swim at the collegiate
level. He joined a swimming
club to gain experience in long-
distance races such as the 1000-
yard and 1650-yard, which gen-
erally arent events at the high
school level. The longest race
offered in high school swim-
ming is usually 500 meters.
Distance swimmers at
Bowdoin practice longer than
their short-distance counter-
parts, as Head Coach Brad
Burnham focuses on strength-
ening the aerobic system to
the point that a distance race
becomes a contest of speed as
much as endurance. Long ex-
plained that a lot of his prepara-
tion is self-determined, and that
he and the other distance swim-
mersAlex Tougas 14 and
Nate Garner 17coordinate to
schedule their groups practices.
An additional difficulty of
distance swimming is the focus
on mental discipline.
I like it because its such a
mental battle, Long said. You
know its going to take a long
time. Youre not going to be
stopping at the wall and talk-
ing to people.

Garner agrees, noting the
strategy involved in distance
swimming compared to the
raw energy exertion in shorter
races, including the ability to
make up for a mistake.
Outside of the pool, Long
is looking forward to taking
advantage of the NESCACs
short season to get involved
on campus this spring. He has
expressed interest in OutAl-
lies, Green Athletics and
BMASV and has found him-

I have to give him a lot of
credit for invigorating me this
year, Tougas said. Last year I
struggled a bit. Now, Im in the
best shape Ive ever been in.
Tims always staying posi-
tive, Garner added. Even
when hes not excited for some-
thing he acts excited for it,
which is helpful. Sometimes
theres nothing fun about early-
morning practice.
While some would be con-
tent with holding a record at an
institution as old as Bowdoin,
Long and his teammates say
theres more work to do when it
comes to breaking record.
[The 1000-meter record]
probably wont make it to NES-
CACs, said Long. All three of
us will beat it.
I think Tougas and I will end
up where Tim is now by the end
of the season, Garner said. But
I think Tim will improve even
further. I think Tim will get all
three [records] if heno, hell
get them.

Swimming teams top Trinity,
Wesleyan in NESCAC battles
Last Saturday the mens and
womens swimming and diving
teams traveled to Wesleyan, where
they defeated both the Cardinals
and the Trinity Bantams. The
women beat Trinity 197-96 and
Wesleyan 168-129, while the men
also routed both squads with final
scores of 213-80 and 219.50-67.50,
respectively.
On the womens side, Lela Gar-
ner 16, Sophia Walker 17 and
Christine Anderson 17 won big.
Garner won the 200 freestyle and
the 200 individual medley, Walker
won the 100 free and 50 free, and
Anderson took the one and three-
meter dives.
Lela Garner swam some really
great races, said co-captain Helen
Newton 14. Not only did she fin-
ish first, but also in the last 100
meters she demolished everyone,
which was really great to see.
Newton had impressive races as
well, finishing second to Wesleyan
swimmer Roxy Capron in both the
100- and 200-meter breaststroke.
She fell a little short, but was right
on [Caprons] heels and was just of her
personal best time, said Burnham.
Erin Houlihan 17 also came
through for the Polar Bears with a
victory in the 500 free.
She probably had the swim of
the meet in the 500a really smart
and really strong race from her,
said Burnham.
Multiple winners for the men
were Timothy Long 17, who won
both the 1000 and 500 free, and
Thomas Kramer 16, who took
both the one- and three-meter div-
ing events. Both Kramer and An-
derson are now qualified for the
national selection diving meet.
Other winners for the men were
John Lagasse 16 in the 100-meter
breaststroke, JR Chansakul 16 in
the 200 breaststroke, Kevin Koh
16 in the 100 butterfly, William
Shi 15 in the 50 free, and Chris
Granata 14 in the 200 butterfly.
Chris swam a very smart race.
He was really easily paced in the
beginning and then emerged as the
strongest guy in the second half of
the race, said Burnham. Hes won
most of the 200 flys in his career
around 75 percent.
Joe Celestin 15 also swam well
for the Polar Bears, finishing the
100 fly with a personal best time.
The Polar Bears will swim at
noon tomorrow at Colby.

Many track & eld athletes PR at home meet
Tis past Saturday, the mens and
womens track teams hosted their
third consecutive meet. Te men
easily took frst place while the
women fnished as runner-ups for
the second consecutive week.
Men
Te men came out on top against
the tough competition of Tufs, Col-
by, University of Southern Maine
(USM), Coast Guard and St. Jo-
sephs. Tey took frst place with 174
points, beating second-place Tufs
by 17 and third-place Coast Guard
by an even 40.
Senior captains Sam Seekins and
Coby Horowitz led the team by com-
bining for 30 points. 20 of those came
from Horowitz, who won both the
1000-meter and one-mile events. Te
All-American also won the mile run
last weekend, but this week switched
his second event from the 3000-me-
ter run to the 1000. Even though he
ran the mile frst, he said the new race
may have been the reason for his mile
being about 10 seconds slower this
week, up from 4:11 to 4:21.
Te mile is frst, but its always in
the back of your head that you have
another race. I think I ended up
taking the mile a little easier than I
normally would have, said Horow-
itz. Getting ready to run the 1000
gets me ready for the rest of the sea-
son, when Ill be running two races
a meet.
Head Coach Peter Slovenski
agreed, mentioning that he applied
the same strategy when coaching
most of his runners.
Whatever their prime race is, we
like to enter people in races both
longer and shorter, said Slovenski,
who is coaching for his 28th season.
Slovenski mentioned that in one
5000-meter race this past weekend,
frst years Ryan Barrett and Bridger
Tomlin, Nick Walker 16 and John
Izzo 15 all ran personal bests. Te
Polar Bears throwers did similarly
well, with juniors Anthony Todesco
and Cam Woodford and sopho-
mores Ben Woo Ching and Cam Ch-
isholm all setting personal records.
Parker Hayes 17 had another star
performance at the meet. Te frst
year won his heat in the 60-meter
hurdles and then placed second in
the fnals behind an All-American
from Coast Guard.
Te team will host the Maine State
Meet at 6 p.m. tomorrow.
Women
Te women fnished just eight
points back from Tufs, which was vic-
torious with 152 points. Lucy Skinner
16 led the way for Bowdoin, winning
both her events to score 20 of Bow-
doins 144 points. Her mile time, 5:11,
was six seconds ahead of second, and
in the 1000-meter run she fnished
three seconds ahead of the next fastest
fnisher with a time of 3:06.
She was backed by teammates
Addison Carvajal 16 and Hayleigh
Kein 15, who fnished frst and third
in the high jump, respectively. In
the long jump, the Polar Bears took
second and fourth, with Carvajal
again placing second and Katharine
Krupp 16 taking fourth.
Krupp also won the triple jump
with a distance of 10.91 meters.
Meghan Bellerose 17 had quite
the performance as well, winning
the 600-meter run with a time of
1:40 afer narrowly missing frst in
the 800 meter last week.
In the throwing events, the Po-
lar Bears saw a strong performance
from senior Katherine Harmon,
who took frst place in the weight
throw event. Randi London 15 was
not far behind in fourth place.
Were getting a strong founda-
tion of scoring in the feld events,
said Slovenski. Our throwers and
jumpers are ready for the champion-
ship season.
With the aforementioned cham-
pionship season kicking of at the
Maine State Meet in two weeks, the
team will look to continue to im-
prove this weekend as it travels to
the Tufs Invitational.

Womens hockey salvages tie on Saturday
Te womens hockey team faced of
against Middlebury the team it beat
in last years NESCAC fnalsthis past
weekend. Unfortunately, history did not
repeat itself. Te Bears lef the Panthers
home turf with a loss on Friday and a tie
on Saturday.
On Friday, the Bears dominated of-
fensively for most of the frst period.
However, the second period was a dif-
ferent story. In less than two minutes,
Middlebury was able score three quick
backdoor goals.
I think the frst game we were pretty
nervous knowing how good Middle-
bury is, said captain Chelsea MacNeil
15. We came out strong during the
BY COURTNEY GALLAGHER
ORIENT STAFF
frst period in the frst game, but it was
during the second period when we kind
of let down and let them take control.
Te frst of Middleburys three
goals came at the 5:01 mark of the
second period, afer which the team
paired backdoor goals with power
plays within seconds of each other.
Te Panthers lef the period holding
an 11-3 shot advantage and a three
goal lead. Te fourth goal was scored
on a fve-on-three power play at the
4:44 mark during the third period.
Despite the 4-0 shutout, the Pan-
thers only held a 19-18 shot advantage
over the Bears in Fridays game.
On Saturday, the Bears came back
with a vengeance and took Middlebury
into overtimeleaving the game in a tie.
Halfway through the game, Ariana
Bourque 16 scored of a rebound that
followed a wraparound opportunity by
Schuyler Nardelli 15 and an isolated
pass from Colleen Finnerty 15giving
the Bears a 1-0 lead.
I tried to focus on three main
things, one for each zone, said
Bourque. In the defensive zone I
wanted to be a good option for the
break out. In the neutral zone just
winning the one-on-one battles, and
in the ofensive zone I wanted to fore-
check hard and stay calm, collected
and confdent.
Middlebury tied the game just 31 sec-
onds into the third period with a power
play. In overtime, MacNeil put a quick
shot on net that was saved by Annabelle
Jonesleaving her with 28 stops at the
end of the game.
I thought we played really well
this weekend despite what the scores
were, said Head Coach Marissa
ONeil. It was two minutes of play
during the second period where they
scored. If you make a couple mistakes
against a good team, it could change
the outcome pretty quickly.
Te Polar Bears will return home to
host Williams on Friday at 7:00 pm.
scored a shorthanded goal off a pass
from Lockwood.
Afer Downeys goal, the team re-
turned to center ice, with Matheson
taking the face of. He passed to Quinn
who skated up the right side into their
ofensive zone, bypassed a single USM
defender and scored.
His speed is a lot to handle for a lot
of defensemen, said Livermore.
Goalie Steve Messina 14 blocked 31
shots on the evening.
Te Bears lost to No. 1 Williams
on Saturday, having already lost 5-2
to the Ephs in their frst matchup of
the season.
Getting beat 5-2 frst game of
the year lef a bad taste in all of our
mouths, said Livermore.
Williams dominated the frst peri-
od, peppering Messina with shots un-
til one from Paul Steinig fnally sailed
into the net. Te Ephs outshot the Po-
lar Bears 24-5 in that period.
Ultimately, the Polar Bears could
not come up with a game-tying goal
and Williams won the contest 2-1.
Tey are not in frst place by ac-
cident, said Meagher. Arguably, they
have the best goaltender in the east.
In support of the Wounded War-
rior Project, which aims to support
wounded veterans, a ceremony hon-
oring Corporal Steven Noyes with the
Navy and Marine Corps Commenda-
tion Medal for his actions in Afghani-
stan preceded Fridays game against
the Middlebury Panthers.
Meagher and Livermore agreed that
the ceremony and the energy of the
crowd on Friday night helped boost
the teams performance.
[Te noise] can put the other
teams on their heels a bit, because a
lot of NESCAC teams arent used to
playing in front of crowds like that,
said Livermore.
Te Polar Bears started strong, scor-
ing two goals in the frst period. How-
ever, Middlebury was able to put good
ofensive pressure on goalie Max Fen-
kell 15 during the second period and
tied the game 2-2.
Te Polar Bears opened up the third
period with a quick power play goal
from Downey, but Middlebury scored
another goal just three minutes later.
Afer two penalties in quick suc-
cession gave Middlebury a two-player
advantage, Bowdoin struggled to de-
fend its territory and ultimately, Louis
Belisle connected on a slap shot.
In the fnal moments of the game,
Quinn drew defenders, allowing for
Ollie Koo 14 to position himself just
outside the net. With 33 seconds lef,
Koo received Quinns pass and scored.
50 seconds into overtime, Mitch Bar-
rington 17, on a pass from John
McGinnis 15, swung around from
behind the net and scored the game-
winning goal.
Afer a bye week, the team will play
at Hamilton on February 6.

Factory foods cost more than just the calories
Depending on how intensely you
were focusing on the chicken pesto
pizza last time you waited in line in
Torne, you may have noticed the
informative cards that were recently
posted alongside some of the dining
options. Tese signs state the car-
bon footprint of one serving of a
given dish.
At dinner last week, a friend ex-
pressed mild annoyance at the cards.
If something she really wanted to eat
was on the menu that night,
she said, it was unlikely
that knowledge of the dishs
carbon footprint, however
high, would afect her deci-
sion to eat it. Conversations
about the environmental
impact of food are of-
ten touchy, and Im
sure that many of our
peers would agree with
her statement.
A carbon footprint is the measure
of how much carbon dioxide must be
released into the atmosphere in order
to bring a particular product to the
consumer, who can then eat it, wear
it or play Candy Crush on it. Tese
footprints have become a concern be-
cause mass consumption of carbon-
intensive products contributes direct-
ly to global climate change.
But lets say that you buy into the
green lifestyle. Maybe you pledged
to only buy local organic produce and
pasture-raised meat and tote it home
in your Fair Trade cotton bags, tucked
lovingly into the trunk of your plug-
in Prius with a No Farms No Food
bumper sticker on it. Maybe you are
even Al Gore. I dont know Al Gore
ter subsidies in the American West,
ground beef would cost nearly $30 a
pound instead of $4. I am not advo-
cating for sky-high food prices, but
the fact of the matter is that our views
on what constitutes cheap food are
dictated by artifcial constraints that
serve the interests of industrial ag-
ricultural companies over those of
small farmers like the ones in Bruns-
wick and Bowdoinham.
A tax on fossil fuels would solve
many of our agricultural systems
problems, as it would seriously tip
the scales in favor of locally-grown
whole food by making other
foodsthe ones made in factories
and trucked in from far awaymuch
more expensive. Tis, of
course, would require a na-
tionwide revival of small-
scale farming to ensure that
local food would be avail-
able, which is a separate is-
sue altogether.
As our agricul-
tural system exists
now, foods with high-
er carbon footprints
are ofen cheaper and
more readily available than lo-
cally produced, low-carbon food.
When concerns about human health,
community self-sum ciency, and envi-
ronmental protection are taken into
account, this becomes more than an
issue of personal eating habits. Its a
structural problem that afects all of
us, whether we know it or not.
So, what do I think about the car-
bon footprint cards in Torne? Id like
to see them on more items, especially
imported goods like cofee and tea
my two great vices. Ultimately, the
modern food system is astoundingly
complicatedfar more so than most
of us are awareand I dont think it
hurts to be reminded of that. But for
now, slap a reminder on that chicken
pesto pizza. I think we can handle it.
but I know people like this, and to live
this way you have to be willing and
able to pay up.
If youve ever noticed the price
diference between $3 per dozen
conventional eggs from Hannaford
and $7 per dozen pasture-raised eggs
from Morning Glory, you know that
the least carbon-intensive food op-
tions are ofen the most expensive.
While some people may be able to
aford low-carbon, high-price food,
others are not willing or simply can-
not aford it. Another friend of mine
recently raised the question of wheth-
er, in a world where
l o w - carbon
food a n d
consumer goods are more expensive,
sustainability is a rich persons game.
It shouldnt have to be, but it is
right now. Healthy, sustainably pro-
duced food ought to be available to
everyone. However, government sub-
sidies that support industrial farming
practices have created a reality where
a bag of Doritos is cheaper than a bag
of organic carrots, despite the fact
that the carrots might come from two
miles away and dont need to travel
down a factory line. If not for wa-
CLIMATE
DISTILLED
EMILY TUCKER
Te diferent types of student em-
ployment trouble me. For many stu-
dents at Bowdoin, working here is
their frst job experience. So when
the College places an inexperienced
student at a desk job so undemanding
that they are able to study the entire
timewhat is Bowdoin teaching that
student about work? We aretruth-
fullystill at a quite impressionable
age; the jobs that students are placed
in should attempt to refect the reality
of work life.
Tere are students who work and
there are those who do not work. For
some students, real life budget prob-
lems creep into the bubble of campus
life. And while it is false to assume that
everyone who works is busier than ev-
eryone who doesnt, and that everyone
who works is low income and vice
versa, it is true that those who do not
work are separated from a reality of
life. Heres a shocker: when people ask
you what you want to do for a living
in the future, they are referring to your
job, because you need to work to live.
Students who do not work are
privileged in not having to realize
that reality until they graduate, and
divisive privileges are not something
we need more of at this school, or in
this world in general. However, avoid-
ing a job until graduation is not solely
advantageous. Students who graduate
from Bowdoin without having been
employed are missing out on valuable
work experience, time management
improvement and development of es-
sential life skills.
Tere is not only a distinction be-
tween the unemployed and the em-
ployed at Bowdoin; there is also a dis-
tinction between students with busy,
sometimes strenuous jobs and these
with conspicuously relaxed jobs.
It is a problem that some students
have jobs serving in the dining hall
a consistently demanding joband
others who have desk jobs where they
mainly occupy a seat waiting for the
rare chance that someone has a ques-
tion. Tis set of diferences creates a
hierarchy of labor within the College
and subsequently breeds diferent ide-
ologies of labor and laborers.
Additionally, because there is so
much variation regarding the intensity
of diferent jobs on campus, students
ofen vie for these cushy jobs and cast
aside the more demanding ones. Be-
sides creating disparate opportuni-
ties for students already strained for
studying time, this variation further
extends the notion that service and
labor jobs are undesirable and should
be seen as a last resort.
I recently talked to one of my
friends who works for Dining Service,
and she expressed that she ofen feels
ignored by her peers while on the job.
Disregarding workers in uniform
and in turn dehumanizing themis a
deplorable trait of the upper class that
we must work to undo. If more stu-
dents worked in Dining or in similar
service jobs across campus, this would
help create an atmosphere of added
respect for service employees that is
not necessarily present in all students.
I dont think that all students should
have the same job, but I think that all
jobs should be realistic. It is arguably
unethical for two students to be paid
the same amount of money when one
student has a very demanding job and
the other does not. A job should not
be a paid form of study hall.
Leveling the eld in student employment
It is arguably unethical for two
students to be paid the same
amount of money when one
student has a very demanding
job and the other does not.
ANNA HALL, THE BOWDOIN ORIENT
YOURE DOING
IT WRONG
MAYA REYES
I
n his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Obama reaf-
firmed his commitment to overhaul the current health care system in
America. The day before, Dean of Student Affairs Tim Foster referenced
these ongoing reforms when he sent a campus-wide email about the state
of the Bowdoin Health Center. In light of Director of Health Services
Sandra Hayes imminent departure, the school is reviewing the structure
of the Colleges Health Center. In his email, Foster outlined three pos-
sible plans for its future: a partnership with an outside agency to handle
increasingly complex administrative work, a complete replacement of
the staff with employees of a private firm, or a continuation of the Col-
leges current system with a new director.
We welcome this review. Although the Health Center received its
highest approval rating ever76 percentin the fall installment of the
Orients biannual approval ratings survey, it has consistently ranked
among the lowest of campus administrators and offices. Even with high-
er ratings this year, a vocal minority still expressed the need for improve-
ment. One female senior wrote last spring: Bowdoin should be ashamed
of the poor quality of the services provided by the Health Center. Its a
joke. These complaints are nothing new. A 2005 Orient editorial called
for extended weekend hours,continuing a decades-long debate over the
availability of health care on campus. Last year, Hayes told the Bowdoin
Student Government that the opening of the Mid Coast Primary Care
and Walk-in Clinic had alleviated demand for walk-in hours. While we
understand that the Health Center is not a 24-hour hospital, we believe
that busy students would benefit from a daily drop-in hour after classes.
The Deans office could have reviewed the Health Center behind
closed doors and announced its findings to the community once a deci-
sion was made. We thank Foster for reaching out to the campus in his
email. Amidst the confusion and anxiety that have recently character-
ized national health care, we feel lucky to have a low-hassle system in
the serene atmosphere of the Buck Center for Health and Fitness. Under
the current system, an ailing student does not have to worry about pro-
viding insurance details or other personal information for a checkup.
The Health Centers total integration into the College makes dealing with
sickness simple, particularly when health concerns can interfere with a
students campus life. While we might not immediately notice a change
in the Health Centers staffing, it wouldin all likelihoodimpact our
lives at the College. We are glad that any changes made to the adminis-
tration of the Health Center will come as the result of a thorough on-
campus dialogue. While we may be exhausted by the national debate, we
look forward to exploring new options at Bowdoin.
A healthy debate

On the media: the tabloidication of American news
Over the course of my nearly
three years at Bowdoin, I have be-
come used to many things about
life in the United States. Mid-
way through my junior year, Im
pleased to report that I have a basic
understanding of temperatures in
Fahrenheit (although I admit I still
prefer Celsius by far). I am no lon-
ger baffled by heights in feet and
inches, nor are pounds and ounces
as mystifying as they used to be.
But while my understanding of the
various systems of measurement
has increased, there are still as-
pects of American life that confuse
me and will continue to do so. As
you may have read in my columns
over the years, these are ques-
tions as far ranging as
the dearth of decent
public transpor-
tation, the
w i d e -
s p r e a d
( a n d
c o n t i n -
ued) use
of the death
penalty, the
preposterously
high drink-
ing agenot to
mention the con-
tinued existence
of my nemesis, the
penny.
I have the good for-
tune to write for an apo-
litical newspaper,
which allows me
considerable
leeway when
it comes to
choosing top-
ics for my col-
umns. The same
is essentially true
for columnists who
write for major news-
papers like the New
York Times. But you
dont read the Times or
USA Today for the opin-
ion section. You do so for
the quality of the reporting.
If only the same could be said of
television news. It is a tragedy that
in America today there is no major
news channel that actually broad-
casts news.
The four biggest news chan-
nels are, according to variety.com,
CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and HLN
(a network affiliated with CNN).
Of these, Fox News and MSNBC
are the least concerned with broad-
casting objective news. Instead,
both channelswhich cater to con-
servative and liberal audiences, re-
spectivelyare populated by talk-
ing heads who use news stories for
the sole purpose of making political
comments. Fox News obsesses over
being outraged about anything that
President Obama does. The MS-
NBC modus operandi seems to be
based around being outraged about
almost anything the Republican
Party does. This is not to say that
their outrage is misplaced. Every
person is undoubtedly entitled to
ALL OUT
OF LOVE
DREW VAN KUIKEN
Broadcast news networks have set a standard of partisan media, giving a public
seeking objective news coverage little option but to turn to foreign television outlets.
The mainstream medias embrace of Justin Bieber is no
surprise in a climate dominated by sites like Barstool.
his or her own political views. But
it is certainly a stretch to character-
ise either MSNBC or Fox News as
news channels. A news organiza-
tion should be as apolitical as pos-
sible and should report the news
objectively.
The reason that newspapers
have an opinion section is to pro-
vide readers with an area where
they can expect to read opinionat-
ed pieces and feel that that the rest
of the newspaper is only interested
in providing the facts. MSNBC and
Fox News, by contrast, are domi-
nated by opinion and nothing else.
And the other two big channels are
little better. HLN (an acronym for
Headline News) is dominated
Last Thursday, Justin Bieber was
charged with drunk driving, re-
sisting arrest and driving without
a valid license at 4 a.m. in Miami
Beach. By midday, his story had
captivated America and become the
most interesting cable news story
since Paula Deen collapsed under
the weight of her own greasy, deep-
fried sense of ethics last year.
Accordingly, when MSNBCs
Andrea Mitchell invited former
Democratic Rep. Jane Harman
onto her show to discuss the NSAs
future, and Biebers arraignment
hearing began during the middle
o f the interview, she had
little choice but to
interrupt Harman
mid-sentence and
cut to a live feed
of the court-
room.
W h e n
later ques-
ti oned
about
the ap-
propri-
ateness of
their deci-
sion, Mitchell
reasoned that
she has more for-
eign policy coverage five days a
week than any other program on
television. Apparently Mitchells
painstaking foreign coverage had
earned her the right to cover celeb-
rity indiscretions.
Of course, Mitchells behavior
wasnt unusual among the major
news networks; Biebers conduct
dominated national discussion
over the course of the entire day.
In fact, among the major news
networks, only Fusion TV and
Al Jazeera neglected to cover the
event, ensuring that their viewer-
ship of 30 missed out on a major
pop culture occurrence.
It would be easy to chide the
major news networks for live-re-
porting Biebers every movement in
jail at the expense of coverage fea-
turing, for example, the Ukranian
revolution. But as someone with
an introductory economics course
under my belt, I can safely say that
that is not how supply and demand
works. We hear the tales of Biebers
woes because that is what we want.
With the explosion of political
punditry in recent years, news has
become far more focused on opin-
ions. It fits our world well. Digest-
ing large sets of data or analyzing
complex problems requires time,
and passively listening to a pundit
break something down doesnt. In-
stead of idolizing Richard Engel, we
pay our respects to Rush Limbaugh
and Bill Maher.
As newspapers die a slow, pain-
ful death and TV stations transition
to a 24-hour slate of dramatically-
named programs with eerily simi-
lar talking heads, one lesson has
emerged: the news media really
wants to tell us what to think. As a
columnist, I cant really complain
about this. I get to sit on a couch,
fake laugh every so often and talk
about nothing all day. Despite
the questionable value of my own
work, my compatriots must forge
onwards with what the market de-
mands. Like them, we cannot rest
on our laurels. Adaptation is key.
When Barstool Sports began
in the early 2000s, it offered free
gambling information that creator
Dave Portnoy would hand out on
the Boston subway. Since then, the
self-described sports/smut blog
has exploded into a national
phenomenon. Mostly popu-
lar among men aged 18-35,
the site gets over 13 million
page views per month and as
of 2010, had already garnered
more unique visitors per month
than sites for Rolling Stone, Glam-
our or GQ. The site provides sports
commentary, pictures of women,
and the occasional news story, with
a sarcastic write-up accompany-
ing almost everything. It even cov-
ered the Ukranian revolt, showing
pictures of the protestors wearing
colanders and other items on their
heads as protection and noting that
they now had the advantage of cut-
ting edge armor.
Barstool has more than its fair
share of detractors, including a
man suing the site for calling him
a pedophile with virtually no evi-
dence, but that may come with its
lowbrow reputation. In a dying in-
dustry, the site has seen exploding
growth.
And while the site may offend
many, Barstool appears to be an
intentionally controversial wing of
the industry that publicized fake,
racist names for the deceased pilots
of a crashed airplane.
With this in mind, Mitchell may
not have been wrong when she cut
from a serious discussion to broad-
cast Justin Biebers arraignment.
She gave the people what they
wanted. Mitchells true mistake
came in her apology: having the
most foreign policy on her show
clearly isnt an advantage anymore.
If Barstool offers any insight into
our world, news must be taken with
a grain of salt. The future of Mitch-
ells industry lies in short quips and
comical analysis of current events.
When serious news coverage is
eventually called for, we can all
turn to Al Jazeera. But until then,
success will mean the funniest cov-
erage of Biebers latest antics.
and so a lot of newsworthy mo-
ments happen here every day. That
fact alone should not prevent at
least some coverage of the key mo-
ments from across the globe.
Maybe its just me, but I find
the absence of any decent news
network to be very disheartening.
You do have other options in Rus-
siaToday (although that station
is essentially a propaganda arm
of the Russian government), Al-
Jazeera America, BBC World and
France24, to name a few. But not
all cable providers give you access
to these foreign viewpoints and,
besides, it is rather strange to rely
upon a foreign news service to be
informed about whats going on in

by tabloid-
esque journalism
and is the preferred stalk-
ing ground for the likes of Nancy
Grace, a controversial (as well as
loud) legal commentator. Ahbut
you saywhat of CNN? It is true
that of the big four news net-
works, in my opinion, CNN is the
least politically involved of them
all. CNN is, after all, the network
thats first on the ground whenev-
er a disaster or terrible cataclysm
takes place. But even the venerable
cable news giant finds itself being
taken in by the sensationalism of
the day. Many hours are spent with
cameras pointed to the entrances
of courthouses, as journalists chat-
ter about what may or may not be
happening within, occasionally
shutting up to allow a press confer-
ence to happen, before they resume
their inane conversation.
All these networks are also dis-
appointing when it comes to their
coverage of events that take place
outside the confines of the United
States. America is a big country
your own country.
Ideallyboth for the
sake of the viewing public and
for the cause of television journal-
ists across Americathe estab-
lishment of a respectable, fair and
objective channel devoted to re-
porting the news would consider-
ably improve the media landscape.
It would be devoted to American
issues, certainly, but it would not
ignore the fact that there is a wider
world out there. It would not shy
away from discussing politics, but
would have politics not be the fo-
cus of its broadcasts.
Whether or not the American
public wants this kind of chan-
nel is a different question entirely.
Alas, the reason that MSNBC, Fox
News, HLN and CNN do so well
in comparison to their foreign
counterparts is that they are pan-
dering to what the viewers want to
see. Before my ideal can even be
implemented, there needs to be a
shift in viewing habits and that, my
friends, starts with you.
