STUDENT SPEAK
Power went out on campus

this past Sunday, November 2,
during the first snowstorm of the
academic year. The outage started at around 1:30 p.m. and lasted
until approximately one hour.
The southern half of campus was
affected the most.
Director of Safety and Security
Randy Nichols responded immediately to the situation, and enlisted the help of Central Maine
Power Company. Facilities also
took part in restoring power to
campus facilities.
The Hawthorne-Longfellow
Library was one of the many
buildings that lost power, and
students had to find alternate
ways to do their work.
I stayed in Thorne knowing
that H-L and other buildings on
campus didnt have power, said
Julian Tamayo 16.
Other buildings on campus
were able to provide students
with proper lighting and WiFi.
Ernesto Garcia 17 had plans to
do a group project in the library.
After we heard there was no
WiFi there, we had to go to 30
College Street, he said.
Some students took advantage
of the situation.
I actually really enjoyed it,
said Justin Ehringhaus 16. It
was a good change to have the
lights go out. I could focus on my
reading when [the lights] went
out and I think it made the library better.
Some sports teams were affected
by the outage as wellespecially
the womens hockey team.
The lights went out while we
were on the ice and we had to
evacuate the rink, said Miranda
Bell 18. The rink pretty much
was black. It wasnt a big deal; we just
had to leave for the time being.

East like Syria. He said that the best
approach to fighting terrorism is
multi-operational.
During the question and answer
portion of the presentation, Christopher Wedeman 15 challenged
Hunts view that Islam is closely
tied to terrorism.
To suggest that the Muslim faith
is not a part of the fight on terrorism is ignorance. It is absolutely a
part of it, Hunt said in response.
Wedeman is one of the founding members of Bowdoins chapter
of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a student group that,
according to its Facebook page,
promotes the self-determination
of Palestinian people and their liberation from Occupation.
Its interesting that Bowdoin

gave him a platform to speak like
this, said Wedeman. In a speech
about the War on Terror, not a single word was spoken about the biggest state sponsor of terror in the
Middle East. Which would maybe
be a tie between Israel and the
United States.
Other audience members questioned Hunt on the definition of
terrorism and whether America
was a terrorist nation, a point that
Hunt emphatically denied.
Hunt shared his thoughts on
ISIS during the question and answer portion of the talk. Members
of the audience wanted to know
what would become of Iraq and the
Middle East if the United States left
the region and let ISIS take over.
Hunt acknowledged that the Middle East would not be in good shape,
but said the U.S. should let Iraq and
Syria burn. He expressed a similar

sentiment on FOX News in June.
Hunt said he believes that we have
done enough in the Middle East and
does not want any more American
soldiers killed in the region.
Vice President for Communications and Public Affairs Scott Hood
said that Hunt delivered the presentation free of charge in the hope
that students would take more of an
interest in politics and government.
Hood said that the College welcomed Hunt as a speaker because his
viewpoint is not often heard at Bowdoin, and because foreign policy in
the Middle East is so important.
Terrorism is clearly an important topic, and Colonel Hunt offers
a perspective based on a long and
distinguished career in the military, he said. His point of view is
one that we dont often hear firsthand at Bowdoin.
Month of relationship programming begins

BY LUCIA GIBBARD
ORIENT STAFF
If youre looking to spice up your

love life, November is the month.
As part of its campaign against
sexual assault and domestic violence, Alliance of Sexual Assault
Prevention (ASAP) has organized
November Been Kissed, a month of
programming aimed at promoting
healthy relationships.
Unlike Date Month in previous
years, each week this months program is dedicated to a different
stage of a romantic relationship.
This past week was dedicated to
meeting new people. Next weeks
events will explore the ins and
outs of hooking up and how to
navigate no-strings-attached relationships. The week of November
17 will be based on DTR: defining the relationship, and when and
how to do this. Finally, the week of
the 24th will explore what comes
nextthe break-up, the make-up,
the long-distance and then the
long- term relationships.
These changes [from last year]
reflect how different people define relationships differently, said
Molly Rose 15. We are hoping to
destroy stereotypes and strengthen
the belief that there is no right or
wrong way of dating.
Rose, Jackie Fickes 15 and Kaylee Wolfe 15 are the leaders of

tionship you choose to pursue, as
long as it is healthy and both people are happy, said Fickes. Last
year was focused on getting people
to know each other in one-on-one
settings, whereas this year we are
expanding to show all the stages
a relationship can experience, not
just the initial.
The first event of the month
took place in Jack Magees Pub and
Grill on Tuesday evening, where
students mingled over games of
Jenga and Catchphrase. Next up
is the Masquerade Ball at Ladd
House on Friday night.
There will be a cocktail hour
and hors doeuvres, and we hope it
will encourage people to look beneath the surface when getting to

know people, said Rose.
In past years, Date Month has
been received positively by students, and ASAP is hoping to replicate this with November Been
Kissed. In addition to the events
on campus, local restaurants will
be offering discounts to Bowdoin
students for the month.
We are working hard to promote November Been Kissed, as
it is promoting healthy relationships, said Fickes. Anything promoting healthy relationships is the
antithesis of sexual assault and violent relationships.

Stocken will grade students work.
We are delighted to launch this experiment in learning with Bowdoin,
said Robert G. Hansen, senior associate dean at the Tuck School of Business, in an interview with the Bowdoin
Daily Sun. Both of our institutions
have a time-tested approach to education that relies on active student-faculty engagement in an intimate and
small-scale environment.
At the faculty meeting, President
Barry Mills tentatively estimated that
the new course would cost the College
roughly $60,000substantially cheaper
than the Fullbridge Program, a business
preparation program offered over the

past two winter breaks that aimed to
increase students financial literacy at a
cost to the College of roughly $160,000.
Accounting is really a language and
an essential part of finance, said Mills
in an interview with the Bowdoin Daily
Sun. Weve taught accounting in the
past at Bowdoin, but this exciting collaboration allows our students to take
advantage of the expertise at one of the
nations distinguished business schools,
to learn from highly skilled faculty at
both institutions, and to use technology in ways that fit well within our liberal arts model.
Bowdoin economics faculty and
Tuck professors will collaborate
throughout the semester to adjust the
syllabus and content when necessary,
and CEP will review the course at the
end of the semester.

much to the position.
Hes got a good varied background in law enforcement [thats]
not dissimilar to my own in many
respects, Nichols said. Hes very
strong in community relations, which
is something I feel is very important.
Profits specialties also include
police operations such as personnel management and accreditation. The accreditation process
develops an organizations (in
this case Safety and Securitys)
relationship with the community
and its emergency preparedness,
among other improvements. Profit, an accreditation manager in his
current position, hopes his experience will help the College.
[Accreditation] is a fairly
lengthy process and it takes some
time, but Id love to be able to take
on that challenge if the director
tasks me with that, Profit said.
Profit has also done extensive
work with the Townsend school
district, experience that Nichols thinks will be beneficial to
emergency preparedness here at
the College.
In my opinion, [Safety and
Security] are essentially the gatekeepers of the College, providing a
safe learning environment for the
kids that attend the school, Profit
said. It only makes sense that for
folks to be able to learn, concentrate and be happy with what they
do, they dont want to be worrying
about being safe.
Though he does not start until
the end of November, Profit, who
will live in Boothbay Harbor, has
already made some connections at
the College. Profit said that when
interviewing for the position the
staff made him feel welcome and
at home.
Im hoping once I get there, I
can reach out to the staff Ill be
working with to put our heads together and see if theres anything
we can do [to] make [Bowdoin]
a better place to work or go to
school, Profit said.
Nichols said he is excited to work
and collaborate with Profit, not only
because having an associate director
will relieve Nichols of some of his
increased workload since McAllisters departure, but also because of
their similar philosophies.
I think [Profit is] going to work
very well with me and fit into our
operation [and] our philosophy
here at Bowdoin, Nichols said.
At the same time, I think hes going to bring fresh perspectives,
which is always a good thing. Im
very excited to have David come
on board.
Due to insufficient storage and

concerns about Ashby Houses ability to house large quantities of books
on the upper floors, the College will
relocate the Religion Department to a
space in Kanbar Hall in January. This
move has triggered several other relocations that will take place during
the spring and next fall, in addition to
nine other relocations that will transform the layout of campus.
With the religion department occupying Kanbar, the Office of OffCampus Study, the Office of Health
Professions Advising and the Office of
Student Research and Fellowships will
move into the current Office of Residential Life space in Moulton Union.
Residential Life will in turn move to
the nearby Dudley Coe Building.
According to Dean for Academic
Affairs Cristle Collins Judd, these
moves will allow for easier collaboration between the Career Planning
Center, already located in Moulton
Union, and the offices moving in.
For students I think its much
easier if you can go into one location and not have to know whether
you are talking about a fellowship or
a funded internship or summer opportunity, she said.
As for the religion department,

professors have expressed minimal

concerns about the move.
The religion department is looking
forward to the move to Kanbar, said
Associate Professor of Religion Robert
Morrison. As the move is scheduled
during Winter Break, we are confident
that there will be minimal disruption
in our teaching and scholarship.
That space for religion is one
which fits the department perfectly
in terms of the number of offices,
and it gives them a great identifiable
space, Judd added.
Moving out of Ashby will also allow
renovations to be made to the house.
According to Senior Vice President for
Finance and Administrator and Treasurer Katy Longley, the Treasurers

Office is currently pricing these repairs and plans to relocate the Office
of Student Aid to Ashby from Gustafson House in August.
I think having the Financial Aid
Office renovated and close to the Admissions Office will be helpful to prospective students and students here,
said Longley.
Additionally, the Bursars Office, the Controllers Office and the
Bowdoin College Human Resources
Department will all move from 16
Station Avenue to 216 Maine Street
in January. Longley says that these
moves are unrelated to the relocation

of the religion department to Kanbar.
They will, however, minimize the outsourcing of office spaces to buildings
off campus.
The College will no longer have
to be paying rent. We have a lease
there [Station Avenue] until the end
of the second semester, said Longley. We may use it for faculty offices
for the remainder of the year.
To facilitate the larger moves,
Upward Bound offices will move
from Dudley Coe to Gustafson
House and two Counseling Services offices will leave 30 College

At the local level, this was the first

Senate, defeating Republican Jennifer
Johnson and Green Independent Party

nominee Fred Horch.
Gerzofsky won 48.4 percent of the
vote, compared to 34 percent for Johnson and 17.7 percent for Horch. In the
past, Gerzofsky has voiced his opposition to the tax cuts implemented by
the LePage administration. He also
supports a higher minimum wage.
The State House District 50 race
opened up last summer after former
Representative Charles Priest reached
his term limit. Democrat Ralph Tucker,
who currently has two young granddaughters growing up in Brunswick and
cites them as motivation for his run for
office, won the race by an overwhelming
margin, with roughly 70 percent of the
vote against Republican nominee Mark
Holbrook. Tucker ran on a platform that
promoted fair taxes, environmental safeguards and sensible health care coverage.
In addition to elected positions,
Maine voters also casted ballots on
Question 1, which would have banned
recreational bear hunting with baits,
dogs and traps. The initiative failed, with
about 54 percent of voters opposed to it.

Ninety percent of bears hunted
in Maine are killed via the methods proposed, said Sarah McCarthy 18, who voted no on Question
1. If this ban goes into effect, the
bear population will increase. More
bears will starve and wander into
cities. More mother bears will be
killed and more cubs orphaned.
There are simply not enough resources in the state to sustain the
increase. More is not always better.
Students have reacted strongly to
Michauds loss to LePage, with many
of them voicing concerns about the
consequences for Maine.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard

someone turn down a craft beer because they dont like IPAs, I could buy
a six-pack right now. That IPAs (India
pale ales) represent the palate of all craft
beers is a misconception, of course:
craft beer comprises all artisanal quality ales and lagers. But to respond to the
misconceivers, I will say: Id probably
use my nickels to buy some IPA.
IPAs have become the poster-child
for American craft beer. How come?
It departs from the typical flavor
profile of the ubiquitous lager
in the same way that craft beer
departs from the ubiquitous
mass-market beer. Of course,
all craft brews represent a
breakaway of sorts, but
the flavors in an IPA have
made it an icon.
IPAs are particularly
dramatic. They are provocative brews, often
toeing the boundaries of
what is palatably safe with mouthpuckering bitterness, astringency and
big, boozy flavors. Thus, style-wise, lagers and IPAs are in diametric opposition: IPAs are hoppy beers, where lagers
are malty. Like craft beer, IPAs are an
alternative to the mainstream (hipsters,
its time to ditch your PBR), but its their
particular taste that makes them especially symbolic.
But lets get real, the misconception is
also reinforced by the immense popularity of IPAs among craft beer drink-

ers. When I first started drinking beer,

all I wanted was IPAs. I fell hard. I was
besotted by boldness, bitterness and
bite. I loved hops: how different strains
and combinations brought unfamiliar,
complex flavors to beer that I hadnt
tasted before. Readers, I started calling
myselfa hophead.
Yes, I know, this is getting personal.
Im fine with it, however, because Im
not alone. American brewers love IPAs.
Most American breweries brew at least
one as a kind of staple, and many of
the most popular craft breweries in the
country are devoted to brewing big,
hoppy beers.
In fact, the American affinity for
IPA (especially on the West Coast,
where the majority of hops
are grown) is so strong
that Americans have reclaimed and redefined
the style on the international stage.
The IPA actually originated
in Britain. The story goes that
the Brits in the metropole wanted to transport barrels of pale ale
to their colonies in India, but the
beer would spoil before it arrived.
Their solution to this problem was
to increase the amount of hops added
to the boil, since hops are a preservative
as well as a flavoring agent. The result: a
super hoppy version of the familiar British pale ale.
Of course, what we now recognize
as a British IPA wouldnt taste anything like the astringent that likely
arrived in India way back when, but
it was likely what inspired the idea
for hop-forward, more alcoholic pale

learned to work with his hands.
I wanted some time off from school,

Newton skipped the New England
winter, flying to the southern hemisphere in February. He spent three
months in New Zealand working on
several different family farms across the
south island.
I was traveling alone. I didnt really have a strict itinerary of what I
was doing, but it was a good feeling,
Newton said.
He enjoyed the freedom and independence of his experience, learning
about sheep farming and beekeeping.
For Newton, his time spent with a family

three weeks, he and the family roamed

Even if you have never had a class
with Professor of English and Cinema

have seen her and her children lined up
at Thornes Wednesday night sundae
bar. Briefel specializes in Victorian literature and horror film. She is married to
David Hecht, also a Bowdoin professor,
who teaches in the history department.
Briefel, the daughter of a French father and Moroccan mother, was born
in Paris. Her paternal grandmother fled
to New York due to instability in France
during World War II, so Briefels father
was born in the United States. He eventually returned to Paris, however, where
he met Briefels mother.
When Briefel was four years old and
spoke no English, the family moved to
New York City.
I was put in an American preschool, Briefel explained, and for
the first month I had headaches and
painted all the time. After that month of
painting and headaches, I was speaking
English fluently.

Growing up, Briefel spoke French

In addition to her academic pursuits,
Briefel likes viewing films outside the
horror genre and reading contemporary
fiction. Along with French films, she enjoys thrillers and comedies, but avoids
rom-coms.

Before it was known as Helmreich House, 238 Maine Street was

home to two fraternities. Sigma Nu
occupied the house from 1921 to
1951, before selling the building to
Alpha Rho Upsilon (ARU).
German professor George Taylor Files and his wife commissioned the house, built as an early
Colonial Revival structure with a
gambrel roof in the Shingle Style.
ARU was a local fraternity
formed in 1946, originating from
the Thorndike Club for the five
percent of students on campus who
were not fraternity members. Ernst
Christian Helmreich, a professor
of history and political science,
served as the advisor to the club,
and oversaw its transformation
into a fraternity.
ARU signified not only Alpha Rho Upsilon, but also as All
Races United. On campus, ARU
was better known as the latter. All
Races United came from a desire
to include students of all races and
faiths in fraternity life at Bowdoin,
including Asian-American, Jewish and African students who did
not fit the membership criteria for
other fraternities.
The fraternity offered a sense

of identity and pride for its members. ARU wanted to change what
it meant to be in a fraternity at
Bowdoin and to make the fraternity
system more accommodating. Bowdoins first female graduate, Sue Jacobson 71, was an ARU member.
An underground group known
as the Green Hornet Construction
Company was an ARU trademark.
The Green Hornet, started in the

1960s, would construct a structure

ales. But American brewers pushed
the style slightly furtherafter all, its
an American tradition to break away
from the British. We might even attribute the popularity and reputed boldness of the IPA to what Americans
have done to renovate the style in recent years. These changes have been so
influential that theyve made their way
back to England; I recall bending elbows at a few pubs that recommended
English-brewed IPAs that were clearly
modeled off the American approach.
One brewer I spoke with affirmed the
American influence, explaining that
while the Brits can take credit for the
IPAs origin, Americans are now leading the way.
While the American East Coast IPA
is closer in flavor profile to its British
counterpart, there are plenty of hoppy,
innovative IPAs brewed in Maine. The
Portland brewery Bissell Brothers

makes an IPA called The Substance
(6.6 percent) that currently vies for my
favorite on the market. Super hoppy,
but not overpoweringly bitter, this
beer actually soars towards its finish
when it reaches its buttery malt base
and achieves a perfect balance. You
can get this beer on tap at Frontier, or
buy it in a 16oz four-pack of cans.
Ill save the Freeport-based Maine
Beer Company (MBC) reviews for
their own featured column, but Id be
remiss not to mention Lunch (7 percent). MBC loves hops, but its beers
are not overly bitter and the gentle and
complex interplay between hops and
an almost cookie-like malt is probably why Lunch is the brewerys most
popular beer.
Lastly, check out Portlands Rising
Tides Zephyr, if only because its fall,
and this beer evokes the pre-winter
chill with apples, citrus and pine needles. A perfect Maine beer, if I ever
imagined one.

covered her love of horror film during

an outdoor screening of The Shining.
It was on the campus green and put on
by the film society. Before that I was really scared of [horror], she admitted.
While in college, Briefel worked as
a toy salesperson at FAO Schwarz. It
was fun but also really stressful during
the holiday season, she said. I also did
a lot of temping, answering phones and
typing at different places; I liked that
idea of exploring different environments. One of the weirdest things I did
was in grad school, where I worked
at a temping agency that was a dating
service. It was pre-internet dating, and
I was answering phones trying to get
people to use the system. It was funny,
and a new concept to date in that way,
where people would record videos of
themselves for others to view.
While Briefel eventually went on to
become a professor, she is confident that
her top alternate career choice would
have been stage acting. I never did tons
of theater, but I always had the dream
to be acting on stage. Sometimes this

dream is literal, and it often becomes an
anxiety dream where I forget my line,
she laughingly. I think teaching has a
lot of performance to it; you are on stage
in a weird way. I like that idea of being in
front of a live audience.
When asked what else students
might not know about her, Briefel said,
The cheesy answer is that I love teaching, I thrive on that. But what else they
might not know is that I dont know
how to ride a bike. I felt like after a time
it was too late to learn. I have a friend
that tried to learn as an adult and broke
her leg immediately.
Although cycling is not one of Briefels pastimes, she enjoys watching Parks
and Rec and Arrested Development,
as well as listening to her favorite Scottish indie band, Belle and Sebastian.
Her favorite family activity is spending
time around Bowdoin. Its a really great
place to raise kids. They are so used to
being on a college campus, and they
think about it as a place where people
work and people play. And of course we
love the cafeteriaif theres any ritual we
have, its getting ice cream there.
Professor Will Hughes decided

that too many students in his class
were unworthy of being doctors,
so he flunked approximately one
third of his class. He proceeded to
throw away the exams and go on
sabbatical, leaving a mess for the
College to sort out.
In light of this situation, the
Green Hornet erected the Will
Hughes Pre-Med Memorial Cemetery in the area where the Visual Arts Center is now. They put
a cross in the cemetery with the
name of each student flunked by
Professor Hughes.
When new curbstones were to
be laid out on Park Row, the Green
Hornet took the stones and built a
pyramid. The group then sent a bill
for millions of dollars to the deans
charging them for camels and help
building the pyramid.
Apparently this was not the first
time the group billed the deans for a
structure so a dean wrote back saying that he understood the workers
were unionized, but that the price
was too steep. This became a continuous back and forth between the
Green Hornet and the deans.
In other shenanigans, the Green
Hornet raided several farms and
took animals to make a petting zoo
to Bowdoin. A dean had to return
sheep, goats and chickens back to
the irate farmers.
ARU often won the fraternity
cup that went to the fraternity with
the highest collective GPA.
As such, Helmreich House carries a legacy of intelligent, diverse
students, some of them dedicated
jokesters, who sought equality
and diversity and helped pioneer
a change in the Bowdoin fraternity
system.

TALK OF THE QUAD
DANCE, DANCE
For as long as I can remember,
dance has been a part of my life. My
parents are both musically inclined,
so naturally there was always music
playing in my house. Even when I
was very small, I was always moving to that musicor maybe it was
moving me.
When I was five and a half, my
parents decided it was time to find
me some different, better-equipped
walls to bounce offmaybe in
a place where my exuberance
wouldnt lead to broken glassand
signed me up for dance classes at a
local studio. So began my now 14
year-old love affair with dance.
At the studio, it became clear to
my instructors very quickly that I
was not going to tolerate any horseplay. After a brief stint in some kind
of dance for five-year-olds class,
I moved into a class of all boys.
Though I loved (and still love) moving fast and bigsomething that we
did a lot of in this classI wanted
no part in any of the goofing-off
that my fellow seven-year-old boy
dancer friends were so fond of. My

when my friends would tell me that
my clothes smelled like rice.
Coming to Brunswick was essentially removing myself from my roots,
something I didnt realize until Winter
Break in 2012 when, after I expressed
my disdain for having to go to Vietnamese Christmas mass, my sister
retorted, well, thats because
youre just white-washed now.
The Class of 2016 is 493 people strong, with 156 students
self-identifying as students of
color, including 53, roughly 10
percent, as Asian. Before leaving home, this ratio did make
me a little nervouswas I
going to stand out? But since
arriving on campus, I dont
spend that much time
thinking
about
the implications of being a minority at
ing conversations about race, which

I find incredibly important because
many people dont know how to
confront racial issues. When people
found out there was another short
Asian student who wears skinny jeans
and likes photography my freshman
year, I kept getting compared to him
as if we were each others competition.
Please, there is no competitionwere
two completely different people.
Catalina Gallagher 16 told the Orient earlier this month that, part of
the reason that people are on such different pages often is that we just dont
talk about race. Its uncomfortable.
And its because of this that I was a
little apprehensive about writing this
articlebecause its uncomfortable
and Im perhaps making it a bigger
deal than it is. But this big deal is a
reality I have to live with.
In the whiteboard photo campaign
(organized by A.D.D.R.E.S.S)
which posed the question what
does race mean to you?there are
responses saying, It means nothing.

Group Dialogue, have been facilitatthe stereotypes and throw them into
one sweeping generalization in order

to differentiate us. At Bowdoin, my
identity is very much separate from
my race; people know me for my personality or skills. The very fact that
people have seen me and pulled their
eyes back into slits during my time
abroad says enough about how my race
is at the forefront of my identity. And I
wont even get started on sexuality.
At Bowdoin, Im Asian-American;
in France, for the most part, Im just
Asian. Associate Director of Health
Promotion Whitney Hogan wrote
personal narratives on her whiteboard for the A.D.D.R.E.S.S. campaign, and thats exactly whats being
disregarded when race is used as the
primary identifier: my history, my stories and my experiences are dismissed.

immense sacrifices and struggles to
carve out a life for my sister and me;
its the process of assimilating into
American society; its my cultural
heritage and how my upbringing has
given me a more enriched view of the
world; its how Im able to share stories
about growing up in the States and
about Vietnamese customs with my
host family.
Im still trying to figure out what
being Asian-American means to me,
and itll probably take a lifetime, since
meanings change as circumstances
and situations do.
But after two months in Nantes,
one thing Ive discovered is its not so
much about definitions or classifications. Its about how my Vietnamese
and American backgrounds interlock
and fit together to form just a small
portion of my identity.
instructors moved me out of that

class, and into a more traditional
ballet class, comprised of mostly
girls. I never looked back.
Through high school, I was
a ballet dancer. As I grew up,
those elementary school
kids in that first ballet class
became some of my better
friends. We spent hundreds
of hours together, during
rehearsals and classes that
ranged from feeling excruciatingly long to blink-andyouve-missed-it
short,
Im pretty sure that in my
junior and senior years of
high school I spent more
time with these people
than anyone else (including my family). Together
we learned to trust each
other, take risks together and perform together. Our relationships extended beyond the studio,
so when it came time to
leave after graduation, its no
wonder we were all crying.
After I graduated, I couldnt
really imagine dancing with
different people. I knew so
much about the dancers I grew
up with. I knew how they
moved, their tendencies, where
they needed support in
partnering, where
they were strong,
which way they usually fell while

turning. Knowing this information helped us to work together
as a team, and helped me to improve as an individual.
I was so used to this intimate level
of knowledge that finding
a new group of people to
dance with seemed intensely daunting. I knew it
could never be the same.

if I would dance again.
I didnt dance the summer after high school. When I arrived
at Bowdoin, I explored the idea of
joining a dance club but never actually got involved. They werent really
doing what I was interested in, and
I honestly wasnt committed enough
to dance to invest
the time.
making something that has a place

there is not easy. It takes a kind of arrogance to honestly think that your
art is meaningful and important, yet
it takes intense self-criticism and reflection to make anything good.
Artists of other mediums understand, Im sure, but my dance
is made even more vulnerable by
the fact that right now I am choreographing for myself. I have to
literally stand and answer for my
work every time it is shown. There
is no hiding.
I dont know how dance fits into
my future, but I know that I am not
satisfied. The thought that I may
have walked away from dance after
high school is now horrifying. There
is something deeply meaningful in
movement, and I do not feel I have
come close enough to figuring out
what that is for me to stop.
As the end of college approaches,
I, like any artist, am encountering
more and more pressure to set myself up for a careersomething I
always assumed would not involve
dance. But now Im not so sure.
When I first walked into a dance
studio, something happened, and
its still happening today.
I dont know if I will ever
really be able to stop.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
Oh my god, thats so Asian!

Thats how a student on my study
abroad program responded when I
told her how to spell my last name.
Whats so Asian? That its not
spelled like King Kong? Does adding the h really make it that much
more Asian? I would never tell someone theyre so white, because what
does that even imply?
Im studying abroad in Nantes,
France for the semester and never
have I been so aware of my race.
When I walk into class with my hair
ungroomed and sticking up everywhereresembling the hairdo of an
anime character or K-Pop starI inevitably hear dude you look so Asian
today.
If I receive a good exam score, my
friends will say thats very Asian of
me (because, apparently, intelligence
and race are mutually inclusive) My
host family considers me Vietnamese
rather than American, and when I
tell someone Im from the States, they
re-phrase: No, where are you from,
your family?
To me, the French are more direct, not skirting around issues considered politically incorrect in the
States. The attention Ive received
for being Asian isnt malicious or
discriminatory, but it is constant,
making me want to untangle what
exactly it means being Asian-Americanwhile stateside and abroad.
My parents fled political and religious persecution in Vietnam by
boat in 1989. After my sister and I
were born, we immigrated to the
States from the Kuala Lumpur Viet-
namese Refugee Center. I spent the

first five years of my life in the heart
of Seattles Chinatown-International
District, where I heard more Chinese,
Cantonese and Vietnamese than English when walking down the street. In
2001, we relocated across Lake Washington to a predominantly white suburb, where we still reside.
My childhood was
a game of switching
cultures on-and-off:
observing Vietnamese New Year in traditional o gm and
then watching Tom
and Jerry, eating
cm tm for breakfast
and then hot dogs and
coleslaw for lunch, and
trying to find the English
equivalent of Vietnamese

face with French.

of a

the thought of taking dance again
filled me with overwhelming joy
so began the next phase of my life
as a dancer.
My dance experience at Bowdoin
has been very different from my
time in high school. Back then, the
work I was doing focused mostly on
performance. I did very little choreography, and though I found creative expression through the steps
that others choreographed for me, I
had little influence over what I did.
Here, I am beginning to explore my
ability to create.
Even in the intense academic environment that Bowdoin fosters, the
hardest thing I do here is choreography. The amount of insecurity and
self-questioning that goes into making performance art is ridiculous
sometimes I wonder why I even
bother. I want to make things that
look good, but I dont want to pander to my audience. I want to make
things that I like to do, but I want to
reach people as well.
But what do I struggle with the
most? Believing that the work I do
deserves to exist. The dance world
is filled with incredible work, and

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT
The Imaginary Invalid generates hearty laughs, genuine emotions

BY LEO SHAW
ORIENT STAFF
The Imaginary Invalid, an adaptation of Molires 1673 comedy

directed by Assistant Professor of
Theater Abigail Killeen, opens with
a concentrated shot of style. While
the hypochondriac title character,
played by Evan Horwitz 15, sleeps
in a wheelchair, the colorful world
of this adaptationassistant directed by Anna Morton 15swings to
life around him as a chorus in mod
outfits coos and prances around a
jewel-tone set.
The protagonist, Argan, wakes
up and lectures the audience on
his long list of maladies. He trades
barbed comments with his servant,
Toinette (Marcella Jimenez 16). For
the few scenes it takes to establish
their relationship, the Austin Powers
look and rapid-fire wordplay dont
make sense together.
Then character after outlandish
character arrives, a confused love
story gets rolling and its clear that
Killeen is going to throw a kitchen
sink of commedia dellarte shenanigans into the mixwith as much
retro flair and comic libido as the International Man of Mystery himself
could muster.
The shows sheer over-the-topness is the work of an infectiously
committed ensemble of screwball
characters. David Reichert 18 steals
the show as Argans deadpan and
(badly cross-dressed) daughter, Louisonthat is, until Quincy Koster

drama as his prurient, scheming
wife. Trevor Murray 16 absolutely
runs away with it in the second act
in a trio of bumbling roles as Argans
doctor, pharmacist and in-law to be.
He flounces around stage and bel-
lows his pompous lines with a comic

abandon that brings the house down.
Despite the carnival atmosphere,
the plot moves forward much of the
time through private conversations
and strategy sessions that revolve
around Argan and Toinette. Horwitz and Jimenez have so many jokes
to run through, and so many knowing physical responses to make, that
there were a few hitches in pacing
in last nights performance. But as
the plot thickened, both fell into a

back-and-forth rhythm that ended
up being the most compelling part
of the show.
With a script chockablock with
puns and a stage often full of actors, each new gag tended to arrive
just as the last wave of laughter was
breaking. Osa Omoregie 18, playing
Cleante, received a welcome break
from his usual onlooking at the edge
of the stage to sing a bizarre and
bluesy duet with Amanda Perkins
18, who played his lover and Argans
younger daughter, Angelique.
There was no shortage of slapstick, either. The best part of sophomore Isaac Mersons performance as
the duplicitous lawyer Monsieur de
Bonnefoi was his dazed look as he
fainted every time he lied, due to a
rare condition.
For all its gaiety, there is a serious
undercurrent to the show that brings
an emotional side to its otherwise
silly depiction of human mortality.
The actors pivot away from boisterous joking and manage to turn the
tide of the audiences feelings without sappiness. In a cloying touch,
though, the chorus returns twice to
hammer home the moral point by
swirling around stage chanting lifeaffirming slogans.
In many ways, The Imaginary
Invalid has its cake and eats it too.
Its intelligent, yet raucous. It cracks
jokes about itself throughout, but still
ends up authentically bittersweet. Its
not making any compromises, and
its more fun for the variety.
Swamplandia author talks London professor discusses Jewish photography

Florida gators, dystopias

Karen Russell, prize-winning

fiction writer and author of the
novel Swamplandia!, gave a lecture sponsored by the Santagata
Memorial Lecture Fund in Kresge
Auditorium on Monday evening.
Russell charmed the audience with
her wit, eloquence and humility as she
read an excerpt from her novel and
discussed the geographical and imaginal landscapes that inspire her.
Russell received a B.A. from Northwestern University and an MFA from
Columbia University. A young creative
writer, Russell has been featured in The
New Yorkers 20 Under 40 list, and
was also named a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 writer in 2009.
In 2013, she received a MacArthur
Foundation Genius Grant and was the
youngest of the years winners.
Russells debut novel Swamplandia! was chosen as one of The New
York Times Best Books of 2011.
Set in her native South Florida
Everglades, Swamplandia! depicts
the story of a family of alligator
wrestlers living in a shabby amusement park. The novel tackles themes
of loss and grief through a story
filled with vibrant descriptions and
whimsical characters.
The geographical landscape for
the novel was motivated by Russells connection to the setting of
her adolescence and by her desire
to imaginatively return to Florida.
Its when you leave your home that

you can see it most clearly, said Russell.
She suggested that many Bowdoin
students likely share this sentiment.
In Swamplandia!, Russell juxtaposes the reality of the historical Everglades with fantastical elements that
thrive in Florida. The setting comes to
life like a character in the plot.
COURTESY OF VINTAGE CONTEMPORARIES

Theres a fluidity in South Florida. There is such a heterogeneous
culture, and there really is a magical
way where things are constantly in
flux, said Russell. I cant imagine a
more magical realist state.

For an hour on Wednesday night,

the Visual Art Centers Beam Classroom became home to the spirit of
Helmut Gernsheim and his revolutionary approach to photography as
an art.
Over 20 students, faculty and
Brunswick residents attended The
Warburg Institute Presents British Art in the Mediterranean, a
talk given by Michael Berkowitz,
professor of modern Jewish history at University College London.
Berkowitz is an expert on Jewish
photographers from the 1860s to
the present.
Although Berkowitz has lived in
London for the past 18 years, he
hails from Rochester, New York. He
is in the U.S. to attend a conference
on Holocaust restitution at Boston
University on Sunday. He also did
research at Harvard University last
weekend and will be speaking at
Brown University next week.
Because of his proximity, it was
a golden opportunity to have him
visit Bowdoin, said Associate Professor of History Susan Tananbaum
in an email to the Orient.
Berkowitz has an impressive resum, including many grants from
institutions around the world, four
(soon to be five) books, five edited or
co-edited books, and over 40 articles.
He is one of the only scholars in the
world who has committed his academic scholarship to documenting
Jewish photography and investigating Gernsheim as a photographer.
There is almost no memory of
the fact that Jews were the photographers of Europe before the Holocaust, said Berkowitz.
According to Berkowitz, the majority of photographers in Europe
before World War II were Jewish.
Photography wasnt a very respectable trade in the beginning, and
generally speaking, people wanted
somebody else to do it for them, said
Berkowitz. I think this is really the
reason Jews started as photographers.
There is almost no memory

of the fact that Jews were the
photographers of Europe
before the Holocaust.
MICHAEL BERKOWITZ
While much of his talk focused
on Gernsheim, who eventually settled in London after his escape from
Germany, Berkowitz also engaged
the audience on the subject of a photography exhibition that was staged
during Gernsheims early years in
London. That show, British Art
and the Mediterranean (eventually
a book), was organized to create a
positive relationship with Italy in the
early 1940s.
What people considered British
culture and the seeds of Englishness
in large part developed from Mediterranean civilizations, said Berkowitz.
Some of the photographs in this
collection came from Gernsheim.
Gernsheim, along with his older
brother Walter, is most famous for
his work as an art historian and
art collector. The brothers became

wealthy photographing Old Master drawings and selling them on a
subscription basis in London.
Berkowitz, however, stressed that
Gernsheim was also an amazing photographer, something for which he is
not usually recognized.
What he was doing was creating
a new kind of art that the photograph of the architecture or of the
work of art was a work of art itself,
said Berkowitz.
Gernsheim, when commissioned
to take photos of St. Pauls Cathedral or Westminster Abbey, would
instead photograph specific architectural details of the buildings.
When photographing sculptures, he
made it quite the operation, bringing in lighting crews and cleaning
statues with water and a pail.
Nobody had ever taken pictures
of sculpture like this, said Berkowitz.
Despite his interest in photography, Berkowitz has never considered himself a photographer.
However, he does have it in his
blood. In the late 1970s, he worked
in the Eastman Kodak Factory in
his hometown of Rochester, where
he learned about film and cameras.
Though Berkowitz had been using
photographs as research material
for years, a call in 2006 from a longlost cousin led him to his more recent research.
[I found out] my fathers grandfather was one of about 20 photographers
to the [Russian] czar, said Berkowitz.
Although Berkowitz is no longer
on campus, his work is widely available, and his new book will be published at the end of the fall.
Twilight and Gone Girl: Sex, blood and violence

SNARK WEEK
ALLY GLASS-KATZ
In November 2008, New York
Times critic Manohla Dargis reviewed
Catherine Hardwickes Twilight,
calling the film a deeply sincere, outright goofy vampire romance for the
hot-not-to-trot abstinence set...sighs
and whispers, raging instincts, high
school dramas and oh-so-confusing
feelings, like, OMG hes SO HOT!!
Does he like ME?? Will he KILL me???
I dont CARE!!! :)
I thought of it, I tried not to blush.

(Relatedly, vampires dont blush. You
need blood to do it, and vampires are
dead and therefore bloodless. This
plot point brings up other questions
about other things you need blood to
do, but I wont delve into all that).
Still, the inherent bloodlessness
and deadness is part of the problem
with Twilight. It hinges on a basic
will they or wont they? plot. Will
Edward succumb to his instincts and
snack on Bellas neck? Will they have
sex? Are neck-snacking and sex inherently intertwined? And is the threat of
becoming a vampire all that alarming
if the worst thing that happens is you
become a super-hotalbeit palerinvincible version of your former self?

In Twilight, marriageespecially
the consummating partkills Bella.
When she and Edward finally boink
(in the fourth book) on an island off
the coast of Brazil, things dont go so
well: Edward eats a down pillow, Bella
eats fried chicken and vomits profusely, and then Bella is eaten from the
inside out by her half-vampire halfhuman child. Her buddy Jacob begs
her to save herself, but she refuses to
abort the monster baby. Eventually,

she starts drinking blood from a sippy
cup in order to survive.
Moral? Sex kills, kiddos. Especially if
youre boning the undead.
Moments like these are echoed in
Gone Girl, Gillian Flynns runaway
bestseller turned film. In Gone Girl,
(spoiler alert!) Amy Dunne fakes her
own death and frames her husband
Nick Dunne for the murder. Halfway
through the film, Amy comes back from
the pretend dead, sets out alone, and becomes a vampire-like murderess when
she slits her high school boyfriend Desis
throat after rocking his world in bed.
In some ways, Twilight is the little
sister of Gone Girl. Both novels feature youthful romantic relationships
that turn sour: Bella gets screwed
when she literally gets screwed, while
Amy believes she gets screwed after
tying the knot.
These novels tell us that marriage
makes women bloodthirsty: literally in Bellas case (see the aforementioned sippy cup) and pretty close to
that for Amy (see her moral deadness, lack of friends, pale beauty and
skills with a box-cutter).
Maybe Elif Batuman was thinking
about this when he wrote his October
10 article in The New Yorker discussing
marriage in Gone Girl as an abduction
or violent crime. But I wonder how
much marriage can actually be abduction for a beautiful, privileged, well-off
American woman. Sure, there is a societal pressure for women to marry, but
there isnt there as much pressure for
men to do it as well?
The spinster stereotype seems as unwanted as that of the perennial bachelor. Maybe what these two books are
getting at is that a married man can
still be that bacheloreating ice cream
from the carton and swigging booze
before lunch in Nicks case, or heading
off to eat grizzly bears in Edwards
while the woman is forced to fundamentally and physically change with
marriage and childbirth.
Near the end of the first Twilight
film, Edward and Bella dance in a gazebo surrounded by fairy lights. Im dying already, Bella says. Every second I
get closer. Older.
These books signal that the closer
you get to sex and marriage, the more
of yourself you leave behind. If sex is
giving something up (as Twilight
implies), wait until you get to marriage.
Twilight tells us you have to be dead
to have sex. Gone Girl says it might
be better to be dead than be married.
Both films warn against intimacy
by saying its hard. Maybe its time to
push the cynicism aside and instead
empower all partners in relationships
to actually be alive.
I so enjoyed traveling to these fictional universes and wanted to make

the same imaginal landscapes for
readers, said Russell.
Russell emphasized the importance
of allowing truth to arise naturally.
Writers should give their unconscious
thought permission to roam, she suggests, rather than forcing conscious
meaning too early on.
Realism in a work of fiction, she
proposed, only exists as language on
a page. Anything claiming to be realism is actually a compressiona distortion of reality. Yet this distortion
is at the heart of truth; it gives insight
about the human experience.
Why not give yourself access
to an expanded vocabulary to talk
about how strange it is to be alive?
said Russell.
Russells discussion of the idea
that everybody is talking, but nobody is listening resonated for
Emily Simon 17.
It is very inspiring that there are

so many people dedicated to the project of writing the human condition,
said Simon.
But on the other hand, Simon added, it can feel like an unworthy cause
if it is for their own benefit. She would
like to read more of Russells works after attending the talk.
On writers block, Russell advocated enduring and pushing through
periods in which writing feels stifled
or bad.
You have to get over the hurdle
of your own self-consciousness,
she said.
To aspiring fiction writers, Russell recommended reading like an
omnivore: reading poetry, memoirs, essays and biographies in addition to novels. Using poetry as a
medium for learning how to pay attention to the music of language
was central to her development as a
creative writer.
ANNA HALL, THE BOWDOIN ORIENT

The Friday after this review came
out, I joined the hot-not-to-trotters
in line at a downtown Berkeley movie theater. It was early in the afternoon. I cut sixth period to make the
4 p.m. showing.
Id been given Twilight by a high
school English teacher earlier that year.

sort of anti-sexual awakening. If so,
it worked. The mental image of Bella

haunted me for months. Every time
GATORS
Wrestles The Alligator, which stuck

in her mind after it was published in
Zoetrope, a short fiction magazine.
Russell is also the author of several
short stories and one novella, Sleep
Donation, which describes a dystopian scenario in which healthy dreamers
donate their dreams to an insomniac.
For Russell, the transition from the
realm of short stories to novel territory was not linear.
I was trying to juggle multiple
worlds to keep narrative momentum
going, said Russell.
She drew the analogy that a short
story is a sprint, while a novel is a
marathon, requiring more endurance.
The ability to metamorphose into
another world inspired Russells hunger for books as a child and informed
her desire to become a writer.

How and when did you form

Bad Karma?
Emily Hochman: It was pretty spontaneous. It was born of our souls. We
had been friends for awhile.
Kelsey Berger: We are all intimately related to music in some
form. Two of us are music minors.
Bad Karma is certainly an attention-getting name. What does
it represent?
Kathryn Lin: The name Bad Karma comes from a middle school
band I was part of and we played
really cool covers like Nirvana and
White Stripes. We adopted the
name as our own for our radio station. Its pretty funny.
EH: Its not meant to be taken seriously. Definitely not.
KB: I would say the extent to which
it influences our repertoire is mild.
Do the three of you have the same
taste in music?
KL: No, but we understand each
others tastes.
EH: I have this campaign to play
Pink Matter by Frank Ocean every radio show.
KB: But thats not a whole radio
show!
Have your tastes evolved because of
Bad Karma?
KL: I think we usually appreciate
each others tastes.
KB: I have definitely heard things
and thought that they were really
cool, when I wouldnt have thought
to play them. I go home and add it
to my Spotify favorites.
How do you incorporate aspects of
your personalities into the show?
KB: I would say the show reflects our moods more than our
personalities. If I have a [tough
week] I listen to something grungy, and if I feel upbeat I listen
to something very woo. Well
be in pretty different moods so
well be listening to one song up
in terms of tempo and energy
and then something quieter with
string music.
KL: I would say we listen to too
wide of a range of genres to really
have it relate to my personality.
The genres I like are definitely a reflection of my specific personality.
What do you want your listeners to

experience during the show?
KB: I kind of feel like we are
DJing our own party and you
can come to the party. I think its
about balancing the songs I really
want to hear right now and songs
other people can enjoy.
If you could only listen to one song
on loop, what would it be?
KB: Sprawl II: Mountains Beyond
Mountains by Arcade Fire.
EH: I do listen to space sounds on
occasion. NASA transferred space
recordings into sounds we can hear.
Its good to study to.
KL: Clarity by Zedd.
What have been your favorite
music experiences at Bowdoin?
EH: We loved Wavves. I loved Unplugged. The a cappella ensembles
are always really good.
KB: I liked the Bowdoin Open
Mic Night. Were big fans of the
student music scene.
Since you are all seniors, what
are your final goals for
Bad Karma this year?
EH: I think the show will end when
we leave. It can live on in spirit.
KL: I dont think anyone could emulate our collective tastes.
If you could join one band,
which one would you choose?
KL: The Smashing Pumpkins.
KB: Dirty Projectors.
EH: My cousin has a band and I always wanted to be in it.
What else do you do on campus?
KL: Gospel choir, Bowdoin
Chamber Choir, ASA [Asian Students Association].
EH: College Guild, the Bowdoin
chapter of a non-profit.
KB: Bowdoin Chamber Choir, writing assistant, work in the [Hawthorne-Longfellow] Library.
Any final messages for your
listeners?
KB: Call in! It makes the show more
exciting.
EH: Join the party! Listen while
youre getting ready to go out.
Tune in to Bad Karma with
Berger, Hochman and Lin every
Friday from 10 p.m. until 11 p.m.

continuing improvement.
From day one, [the girls] arrived

ready to go, be good teammates, set

together as a team.
In the first three minutes of the
game, Samantha Hoegle 17 ran
into the corner for a try. Randi
London 15 made the lead 10-0 after touching the ball down to the
in-goal area.
Paige Pfannenstiel 17 had two

Bowdoin focused mostly on keeping possession throughout the match

being pretty rainy, we played a little
more tightly and made sure we got
more control over the ball rather
than going for the really long pass,
Pfannenstiel said. Our game is playing really quickly, getting the ball
out quickly and running fast, and I
think we executed that really well.
The Polar Bears beat Tufts earlier
this season 54-0, but Mathews expected this matchup to be tougher.

have good depth, and theyre smart

mentally and physically for that.
With the championship win,
the Polar Bears advanced to the
American Collegiate Rugby Asso-
ciations Fall 15s National Championship Tournament.

They will play Colorado College in
the Round of 32 at home on Sunday.
Last year the team also qualified
for nationals but lost in its quarterfinal matchup against Kutztown
University of Pennsylvania.
Weve never had a Round of 32
opponent come from outside of New
England, so well have to try and do
our homework, said Mathews.
With rugby basically being a
club sport, theres not going to be

about them.
Despite these challenges, the
team is ready to take on Colorado.
Basically we will prepare the
way wed prepare for any team. It
doesnt matter who your opponent
is. We have to be able to execute our
game plan, whether its the attack
portion or the defense portion,
said Mathews.
Both Mathews and Pfannenstiel
believe that the team still has work
to do before this Sundays game.
Throughout the season, weve
been getting a lot of fouls called on
us, Pfannenstiel said. We really
need to work on settling down in
the moment. Every penalty slows

v. Tufts
4-0
In a rematch of last years NESCAC quarterfinal, the No. 2 seed

Polar Bears (12-3-0) beat the No.
7 Tufts Jumbos (7-7-2) 4-0 in a
quarterfinal match on Saturday.
Bowdoin defeated Tufts in the final
game of the regular season, winning 3-1 thanks to a strong performance from goalkeeper Bridget
McCarthy 16.
The Polar Bears looked to McCarthy early as Tufts opened the
game with two quality chances,
McCarthy turned away the first
Tufts shot under five minutes into
the game. Five minutes later, the
Jumbos looked as if they were going to put themselves on the board
first when a long ball from a de-
fender breached the Bowdoin back

line. The pass led to an open shot
which knocked off the post 11
minutes into the game.
Bowdoin soon regained control
of the game. Just five minutes after
the Tufts unsuccessful breakaway,
the ball found its way to the foot of
midfielder Abby Einwang 15, who
lofted a shot into the corner to give
the Polar Bears the 1-0 lead.
Both teams fought hard to find
the net in the rest of the first half,
but Einwang remained the only
one to score before the halftime
whistle blew.
At the start of the second half
the Polar Bears began to pull away.
60 minutes in, Jamie Hofstetter 16
fed a ball through to Amanda Kinneston 15, who slid a shot past the
Tufts keeper to double the Polar
Bears lead to 2-0.

working hard, really believing if they

can come together they can be competitive in the league, said Pearson.
Even after losing four seniors from
last years national championship-winning squad, this team was quick to find
its identity and return to top form.
Each year it feels very different.

We only have the same team for one
year, said Kim Kahnweiler 16. We
may have played at a certain level
one game, but the next game we are
playing that much better. We are
constantly on an upward trajectory.
Pearson stressed the importance
of her players staying in sync with
each other and executing the tech-
nical skills they have developed. In

her mind, no one player is more important than another.
It is going to be really important
that our goalkeeper and our defensive unit are both in sync, and that
they are going to limit opportunities
for our opponents, said Pearson.

Bowdoin never looked back
finishing the game 4-0 off a penalty kick from Hofstetter and a final goal from Julia Bottone 17 to
shutout the Jumbos 4-0.
The teams effort on Saturday
was fueled in part by its devastating loss to Tufts that knocked them
out of the playoffs last season.
They had the same quarterfinal
matchupbut this time Bowdoin
emerged as the winner.
We were given a second chance,
said Hofstetter. Everyone was extremely focused. We really wanted
to destroy them this time around.
The team had been mentally
preparing for another shot at
Tufts once they found out the final seeding for the NESCAC tournament. The loss last season was
a common conversation in the
locker room and was a great way
to center the focus of the team for
practices in preparation for the
playoff game.
Because of Saturdays win, the
team will travel to Williams this
weekend to face No. 3 seed Connecticut College (14-2-0). Both
teams finished the regular season
with an 8-2 record in the conference, but Bowdoin won their

L 10-7
The football team fell to Bates on

Saturday at Whittier Field, conceding the CBB (Colby-Bowdoin-Bates)
championship to the Bobcats. After
winning back-to-back games in the
middle of the season, the 10-7 loss
was Bowdoins third consecutive
defeat. The Polar Bears stand at 2-5
while Bates improve to 3-4.
We had a pretty strong showing
against Bates in a game with horrible
field conditions, said running back
Tyler Grant 17. We just werent able to
make a few plays when we needed to.
Both teams failed to put points
on the board in the first half, despite a number of promising campaigns downfield.
In the Polar Bears second possession of the game, Grant broke
free for a 57-yard rush to the Bates
23-yard line. Following the seasons
trend, the team failed to finish the
drive when Garrett Thomas 17
fumbled the ball two plays later.
In the second, a bad snap squandered Bowdoins chances at a 25-yard
field goal. Bates also failed to score,
making it into Bowdoin territory
twice without reaching the endzone.
The visitors finally took a 7-0
lead over the Polar Bears with a
three-yard run into the endzone
five minutes into the second half.
Both offenses struggled early in

with a six-play, 72-yard drive. Two

personal fouls against Bates helped
the Polar Bears move the ball to the
Bobcats 37-yard line, where quarterback Mac Caputi 15 advanced
the ball into the redzone with a
completed pass to tight end Matt
Perlow 15. A 22-yard carry by firstyear running back Drew Prescott
and a three-yard touchdown run
from Grant brought the game to a
stalemate with 8:36 remaining.
A facemask penalty on the ensuing kickoff gave Bates great starting field position at the Bowdoin
42-yard line. The Bobcats then ran
down the clock with a seven-minute
drive, ultimately lining up for a 25yard field goal with 1:14 left.
With the CBB title on the line, the
offense pushed into Bates territory,
but after a penalty and two incomplete passes, the campaign was cut
short as Bates ran out the clock end
the game at 10-7.
Bowdoins offense racked up 294
total yards51 more yards than
Bates did. Caputi went 8-26 (31
percent) for 94 yards.
Grant, who has been one of the
few bright spots for the team this
season, rushed 27 times for 151
yards, increasing his season total to
737 yards. In doing this he broke the
sophomore rushing mark of 676 set
by Joe Bonasera 73 in 1970. This
also moves him up to sixth place on
Bowdoins single-season rushing list.
The Polar Bear defense made 11
tackles for loss on the afternoon, led by
linebacker Branden Morin 16 who had
eight tackles, including two and a half
for losses.
For 65-75 percent of the game we
dominated defensively, said assistant
coach Eric Westerfield. But it came

that close and under those conditions
it was a low scoring affair.
Bowdoin will finish its season
at Colby tomorrow at 12:30 p.m.
While the Colby game is always a
season landmark, this game carries extra weight as it marks the last
game of the seniors careers and the
last game before before Head Coach
Caputi retires.
I cant believe its already our
last game with the seniorsthey
are all my brothers and Im going
to miss playing beside them in the
years to come, said Grant. They
have been great role models and
teammates and Ill be playing this
last game for them to hopefully
send them off with a win because
they deserve it.
This year, the Mules have a new
offensive coordinator, Coach Joe
Fogarty, and their 11-year Head
Coach, Jonathan Michaeles, is wellknown to Bowdoin. Their starting
quarterback, Gabe Harrington, is
notorious in Brunswick for his accomplished throwing game.
Offensively, theyre gonna throw
a lot, said Coach Westerfield. Thats
not to say they wont ever run. They
will shotgun it a lot through the
center. Our guys will definitely put
down coverage. Theres a lot of emotional energy there for the game and
the guys know whats at stake here.
Last year, with the way the game
ended, there were a lot of fireworks.
The players will be fired up.
Colby is going to be a hard fought
game against a team that we can beat
if we put a strong effort together and
play like we have been practicing all
year, added Westerfield.

Patriots fans: remain cautiously optomistic Cross country teams off pace
at NESCAC Championships
BY WILL OSSOFF
CONTRIBUTOR
Open up a Boston sports page,

turn a dial to sports talk radio, or
flip on ESPN and you will likely
hear the same triumphant message: The Patriots are the best
team in the NFL, destined for the
Super Bowl.
The Boston Globes Dan Shaughnessy wrote on Monday that the
road to Super Bowl XLIX would
go through Foxboro. ESPN, NFL.
com and Bleacher Report all
moved the Patriots to the top of
their hallowed Power Rankings.
Yes, the Patriots beat the Broncos handily on Sunday by a score
of 43-21. But take it easy, fellow
Pats fansits only November.
Last year, the Patriots completed
an amazing 24-point comeback
against the Broncos in November,
only to lose in the AFC Championship Game two months later.
Fans are pointing to Tom Bradys
11-5 overall head-to-head record
against Peyton Manning. But in
the playoffs, its an even 2-2 split.
Dont book tickets to Arizona for
the Super Bowl just yet.
One
undeniably
positive
takeaway from Sundays game:
Rob Gronkowski is back to full
strength. A 6-6, 265-pound tight
end with the ability to run a 4.6 40yard dash, Gronk is nearly impossible to stop when healthy. However, the Pats cannot take Gronks
health for granted, as he has been
unable to play at full strength in
the past three postseasons. In or-
der to beat the Broncos again in

January, the Patriots will need the
big fella healthy.
Gronk is not the only injury
concern for the Pats. Linebacker
Jerod Mayo, a captain and key
piece of the run defense, is out for
the year. Chandler Jones, the Pats
best pass rusher, is battling a hip
injury and has missed the past two
games.
Starting running back Stevan
Ridley is also gone for the year,
limiting the Patriots ability to run
the ball, making the pats emphasise, and allowing opponents to
focus on, the passing game.
Luckily, the Patriots have Brady
at the helm of the offense, but astute defensive coordinators have
found ways to shut down Brady
and the one-dimensional Pats offense in recent years (see Super
Bowls XLII and XLVI).
Furthermore, one cannot forget
that a mere five weeks ago, pundits
around the world were proclaiming the end of Tom Brady and the
Patriots, after the Chiefs thrashed
them 41-14. Tom Brady has made
those experts look foolish in the
past five games, leading the team
to five straight wins while tossing
18 touchdowns and just one interception. Nevertheless, those shaky
early season performances demonstrated the flaws in the Pats roster.
The Patriots defense ranks 23rd
in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game with 120, and they
have conceded over 150 yards in
two of three games since losing
Jerod Mayo. The offensive line has
improved, allowing only five sacks

in the last five games after conceding nine in the first four games.
However, this is still a relatively
unproven unit, finding its identity
after the preseason trade of captain
Logan Mankins and retirement of
long-time coach Dante Scarnecchia. The Patriots will be tested in
their final seven games by five of
the top ten pass-rushing defenses
in the NFL: Buffalo, Miami, Detroit, Indianapolis and the Jets.
Furthermore, they will face legitimate playoff contenders in six of
those seven games, making for a
bumpy road to January.
Sports fans, especially Boston fans, are notoriously fickle.
Five weeks after Doomsday declarations about the demise of the
Brady Era, they are ready to polish
the Duck Boats for a Post-Super
Bowl parade.
Im cautiously optimistic that a
Super Bowl could be in this teams
future, especially if Gronk and
Brady stay healthy and the offensive line continues to improve.
However, good or great Patriots
teams have fallen short in their
last eight playoff appearances. The
2007 season, in which the Pats
took an 18-0 record into the Super
Bowl and lost, illustrated that regular season greatness is irrelevant
in January and February. It takes
a rare combination of talent, luck,
and character to win a Super Bowl
in the wildly unpredictable NFL.
Power Rankings are fun, but Pats
fans should stay focused on the
real prize.

The mens and womens cross

country teams finished sixth and
tenth out of 11 teams, respectively,
at the NESCAC Championship last
Saturday at Middlebury. The men
finished with 169 points and the
women with 268, just 13 points
ahead of last-place Trinity.
Williams mens team won the
NESCAC Championship for the
second year in a row with 39
points10 points worse than their
first place finish last yearfollowed
by Colby with 76 and Middlebury
with 80.
For the women, Middlebury also
repeated as champions, putting up
38 points to beat out second-place
Williams (47) and third-place Amherst (108).
The race started out with a large
pack controlling the speed as the
runners inched up a few long hills
and dealt with muddy footing and
the low temperature. First year Riley OConnell described the conditions at the start as a a frozen
slip-n-slide.
Then, after the first mile, a steep
downhill signaled the real start of the
racing. The course weaved around
the perimeter of the bucolic, Middlebury-owned, Ralph Myhre Golf
Course, and featured wide paths and
many short climbs and sloping descents due to the steep terrain.
OConnell continued, It was

about as bumpy as a gummy worm
in dirt cake.
Captain Avery Wentworth 15
finished first for the mens team
with a time of 25:55.4 on the rolling eight-kilometer course, good
enough for 18th overall. Wentworth
was followed by sophomore Bridger
Tomlin, who finished 35th with a
time of 26:18.1. Tomlin led a pack
of Bowdoin runnersincluding
sophomore Matt Jacobson (37th)
and seniors Kevin Hoose (39th)
and Will Ossoff (40th)who all
finished within eight seconds of
one another.
The womens team was led by
junior captain Lucy Skinner, who
finished 28th with a time of 23:55.2
over six-kilometers.
Skinner was followed by sophomore Caroline Corban, who finished
53rd with a time of 24:56.3, and junior Ally Fulton who finished 57th
with a time of 25:07.1.
Rounding out the scoring for the
Polar Bears were freshman Sarah Kelley (64th) and senior Brenna Fischer
(66th), who finished with times of
25:18.9 and 25:24.1, respectively.
Both teams will send runners who
qualified to the New England D-III
Regional Championship at Williams
on November 22.
If the runners perform well enough
at Williams they will compete in Mason, Ohio at the NCAA championships the following weekend.

OPINION
the bowdoin orient
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Charting our courses
s seniors, we are facing our final opportunity to register for Bowdoin

courses with wistful deliberation. Over the past four years, the six
members of this editorial board have collectively taken courses in all
but five of Bowdoins 34 departments and programs. While Polaris has streamlined the process of organizing ones schedule, there are some important pieces
of advice for choosing classes that underclassmen should keep in mind. It may
seem obvious, but you should use Polaris to search for a wide variety of classes.
Do not just filter classes by departments that fit your interests; look at the whole
course catalogue and see if anything unexpected catches your eye. Take the
time to read course descriptions critically, even if a dry course title initially
turns you off.
At Bowdoin, we are often told to get outside of our comfort zones, but we do
not often apply the clich to our academic lives. Take a course you know will be
difficult, or at least one that does not play to your intellectual strengths. There
are always upsides to taking courses that are unlike any you normally take,
regardless of your grade at the end of the semester. Sometimes the frustration
of getting a C on a philosophy paper is just an indication that you are learning
to think in a new way, Credit/D/Fail offers protection from grades that may not
align with your previous marks. Even if you are more comfortable in the humanities, taking a lab science course can expose you to new analytical methods.
Long after graduation, you will remember an engaging class or a challenging
profesor much more than you will an A grade.
All of this being said, planning a personal curriculum involves some practicality. If you are a first year, you might be hearing that you should cast a wide
net and delve into several areas of study. We do not disagreeyour first year is
a great time to figure out where your interests liebut keep in mind that the
courses you do or do not take can in many ways shape your academic trajectory
at Bowdoin. If you want to major in disciplines like economics or chemistry,
take the introductory courses now. Starting a major as a sophomore can be difficult, and it is helpful to research departmental requirements now.
With the many considerations that go into choosing courses, students often
feel beholden to the schedule they initially craft. If, after carefully choosing your
classes, something does not work out at the beginning of the semester, you
should treat add/drop as an informal shopping period. You should feel empowered to sit in on classes in which you are not officially enrolled to further refine
your schedule.
We have 32 courses to take advantage of at Bowdoinsome of us only have
four left. The liberal arts have given us the opportunity not just to explore a variety of topics, but to immerse ourselves in different intellectual disciplines that
are important in different walks of life. Explore Bowdoins many departments,
but explore deliberately.

False accusations in the Orient

To the Editors:
The members of Bowdoin Climate
Action (BCA) are disappointed by
the recent reporting the Orient has
done regarding fossil fuel divestment. Rather than attempting to
facilitate a productive conversation,
the Orient accused the student group
of intentionally misrepresenting student support for its own benefit. Not
only is such a claim false, but it is also
wrongly damaging to a student group
that has actively pursued an open and
productive debate on campus.
The claim that only 825 petition
signatures are valid is a misconstrual of the facts. The master spreadsheet, which was supplied to Presi-
dent Barry Mills, contained 1,000

unique student signatures calling
on the College to divest. Today this
signature count is nearly 1,200. We
apologize for not being clear about
the discrepancy between the physical and electronic signatures.
Investigative journalism, simply
by its stakes, is beholden to the highest standards of objectivityto present the facts not only as they appear,
but also in relation to the context
they exist in. In this case, the Orient failed; desire to break a scandal
trumped understanding and unbiased reporting.
Where objective journalism would
have sought out the rationale of the
so-called silenced dissent, the Orient merely asserted its existence.
Likewise, with divestment, it failed

to actually explore the proposal made
before the Trusteesattention to the
crux of the argument was replaced by
a focus on those arguing.
All of us, for the sake of a constructive and intelligent discourse, owe it
to each other to have this conversation with the utmost respect and understanding that Bowdoin demands
of us. BCA will continue to pursue a
collaborative student-faculty-Trustee
effort focused on developing a responsible divestment policy, which
best suits both the moral and financial obligations of the College.
Sincerely,
Hugh Ratcliffe 15

Why divestment is more symbolic than effective

HOME IN
ALL LANDS
JEAN-PAUL HONEGGER
As you may have read last Friday,
the Orient investigated irregularities in the petitions circulated by
Bowdoin Climate Action (BCA), a
student group dedicated to climate
justice by campaigning for fossil
fuel divestment.
In a scathing editorial, the Orient editorial board questioned the
circumstances under which BCA
was able to meet with the Board of
Trustees earlier this year. Although
in a subsequent statement BCA
denied ever claiming a mandate
from the students, the group nevertheless used its petitions as leverage to meet with the Trustees.
I am not saying I oppose the idea
of BCA meeting with the Trustees.
We certainly have the right to petition the highest decision-making
body at the College when it comes
to important issues. What I challenge is not just BCAs methods
but also the very cause for which it
stand: divestment.
To be clear, like BCA, I believe
that the effects of climate change
have been worsened by human activity. Like BCA, I also believe that
reducing atmospheric pollution
and seeking ways to remove existing pollutants is the best approach
to facing this challenge. We differ,
however, when it comes to how to
meet these goals.
Divestment proponents argue
that divesting from fossil fuel
companies will put pressure on
the industry to act more forcefully
against climate change. Although
the basic logic behind divestment
is valid and has been tested in
other cases before (big tobacco,
apartheid in South Africa), the financial clout of energy companies

reduces the impact that divestment would have.
According to a report from the
University of Oxford, of the $12
trillion assets under management
among university endowments and
public pension fundsthe likely
universe of divestment candidatesthe plausible upper limit of
possible equity divestment for oil
and gas companies is in the range
of $240-$600 billion.
For the average person, this
amount of money is staggering. But
it isnt for the major fossil fuel companies of the world. Companies
like ExxonMobil, BHP Billiton (the
worlds largest mining company)
and BP have $400 billion, $191 billion and $133 billion, respectively,
in market capitalization (total value of shares).
If Bowdoin divested its fossil fuel
holdings tomorrow, the impact on
the College would be far greater
than the impact on the energy
companies concerned.
[Bowdoin] would need to redeem from almost 40 percent of
[its] portfolio investments [because] the endowment [is invested]
in commingled funds, not individual securities, Paula Volent, senior vice president for investments,
wrote to me in an email this week.
Essentially, commingled funds are
collections of assets derived from
various sources, which allows investors to diversify beyond individual securities.
Ultimately, this distinction is important. Although BCA argues that
Bowdoin should [divest] the Bowdoin way, the group cites Stanford
University as one example of successful divestment. However, Stanford was invested directly in coal
companies, whereas the Colleges
investments are indirect.

Another difficulty for divestment is that finding commingled
funds free of fossil fuel revenues
is tricky, in part because oil, coal
and gas companies provide good
dividends and good return on investment, making them attractive
prospects for many investors. This
complexity explains why divesting
could cost the College upwards
of $400 million over the next ten
years, according to an estimate
made by Volent.
In a study of Pomona College, investment advisory firm Cambridge
Associates found that Pomona
would have to reduce endowment
spending by at least $6 million annually and would lose endowment
value to a degree similar to Volents
estimate. These numbers arent
just conjecture or fear-mongering;
they are based on sound financial
assessments. Instead of supporting all-out divestment, the College
should consider other ways to tackle climate change.
For example, Associate Professor
of Economics Guillermo Herrera
proposed last week that the College
should consider a self-imposed
carbon tax, which would encourage us to reduce our emissions. The
money collected from such a tax
could be used to fund research into
green technology like tidal electricity and carbon capture, or local, environmentally friendly projects.
These are concrete steps that the
College and the community can
take to tackle climate change. Divestment, by contrast, is a largely
symbolic gesture. We will not
find the change we need by hurting the health of this College. No
matter how small, tangible efforts
to reduce emissions are the way
forward in this long fight against
climate change.

Why its time for Bowdoins presidency to have a female perspective

MY 77 CENTS
VEE FYER-MORREL
Arguing that Bowdoin should
select a female president to replace
President Mills is difficult in no
small part because this decision is
endlessly complexand only one
facet of it deals with gender. I understand this. Yet I feel it would be
wrong not to make the case for a
progressive change of pace for
the future leadership of Bowdoin. Fellow NESCAC schools
Amherst, Bates and Wesleyan have had female presidents. So have Brown
University, the University of Pennsylvania and
Harvard University
to name a few more
examples.
Yet these schools
stand firmly in the
minority. In a 2012
study, the American Counsel on Education stated that
only 26 percent of
institutional leaders in the United
States were female.
These numbers do
not come close to
reflecting the maleto-female student
ratios of any college
or university. Furthermore, roughly
36 percent of tenured professors are
women, according
to a 2009 Forbes article. In STEM (science,
technology
engineering
and
mathematics) fields,
women make up
less than a quarter
of the workforce
even though
they earn 41
percent of science
and engineering degrees. Only 20
percent of computer science degree
recipients are women. Part of what

these statistics vigorously indicate
is that there is a wealth of female
talent in many dimensions of education that remains untapped and
underappreciated.
It is easy enough to argue that we
should elect a new president who
is uniquely qualified regardless of
gender. And this point is not an
irrelevant one. President Faust of
Faust continued to say, It would be

wrong not to acknowledge that my
has tremendous significance.
It is universal knowledge that
the road to social justice has never
been easily paved. We do not live
in a world that is
gender blind;
sometimes,
to create social change, it
this upcoming decision. This nation has rarely changed anything

by being blind to differenceit
doesnt work that way. Indeed, considering a candidate regardless of
gender may even obscure the potential benefits
Harvard University herself said upon

election, Im not
the woman president of Harvard.
Im the president
of Harvard. Her
statement brings
up an important
point. To single
out women in this
search is to come
uncomfortably close to
reinforcing the othering of women, or favoritism towards them. Yet
is necessary to stir up
a little controversy in
order to make way for
progress. Yes, it would
be silly to elect a new leader
of Bowdoin just because she
is a womanor, for that matter,
just because he or she is any one
thing in particular. A persons qualifications for the job are far more
intricate than one genetic trait, after all.
However, I do not think it is unreasonable to count gender as one
of the most important factors in
that come with gender.

A female president may
have a meaningful new perspective. Surely there are several candidates who are right
for the job, and I feel confident that one of these candidates will be female and will
be just as qualified as her
male competitor.
Boris Groysberg of the Harvard
Business School states, There is
a big difference between diversity
and inclusiveness. Diversity is about
counting the numbers; inclusiveness is about making the numbers

count. It is one thing to elect a
woman for the purposes ofto put
it crudelysymbolism. Yet, it is entirely another thing to elect a woman because she is qualified, because
she has a vision and because she
offers a new perspective.
Having a female president would diversify
Bowdoins
presidential history. It
would change the
st at isticsand
this is not a
bad thing. But
I would hope,
too, that this
decision will
be only the
beginning of
an effort to
make these
new numbers count.
We live in
a time in
which men
and women
of all colors,
nationalities,
races and
sexual orientations
will be given
opportunities to succeed
as
leaders,
both in education and in the
world at large.
To quote Faust
once more: the
doors to change
were not blown
outward by a
faceless wind
those doors were
stormed and broken down by a
lot of brave and
determined visionary
people. At Bowdoin, we are taught
to be these visionary people. We are
taught to be leaders in all walks of
life. Let us lead the way.
Hair or Nair? Embracing self-grooming as a form of self-expression

LEFT OF

JULIA MEAD
The first time the topic of pubic
hair as public conversation graced
my tender ears was in 2004 at a
luncheon for people who volunteered at the local library. I was ten
years old and mostly went for the
rolls and chocolate cream pie. Everyone else at my table was at least
200 years old, except my mom, who
was 44. There was a particularly
ancient lady across me, and I remember three things about her: she
was wearing some sort of leopardprint blouse, she had lipstick on her
teeth, and apropos of nothing she
said, Can you believe it, apparently
girls these days are shaving it all off
down there! I blushed, my mom
blushedwe all blushed.
Eight years later, my friend D.
told me my eyebrows were the texture of pubic hair. I blushed, she
apologized, then she blushed.
In February of my first year at
Bowdoin, I got drunk (off Sunset
Blush) with my best friend, O., after
the Vagina Monologues. We spent

the night running around Mac
House during the Cold War party,
encouraging our fellow Coleman
lady friends to Let it grooow! They
were horrified; we were empowered.
But the empowerment faded when
the hangover set in, and I blushed
when I ran into my avid pro-grooming floormate brushing her teeth.

Its clear from my careful data

Last summer D. and I, friendship repaired, decided to get bikini

These numbers
add up to more than 100 percent because many women had used more
than one method.
These data sets, though insightful, dont get at the why. Why is
there a hegemony for grooming?
Certainly the beauty industry
stands to profit from habitual hair
removalits existence is predicated
on instilling and exploiting physical
insecurities. But there are also arguments to be made for other causes,
like porn or dance or sports or sex.
Or maybe its just a question of genuine aesthetic preference.
To complicate matters further,
there are a handful of reasons to
think the trend might be on the
wane. In January, Emer OToole
wrote an article published in the
Guardian proclaiming 2014 the
year of the bush. Additionally
Cameron Diaz, hardly a crunchy
bra-burner, said publicly that she
has stopped shaving her vulva.
So my advice is this: give a nod
to the social, political and economic
forces scheming to influence your
decision to groom your pubic hair,
then fuck em. Shave it, trim it, Nair
it, wax it, dye it, braid it or let it
grow. Embrace the human panorama of possibilities.
