A new policy that gives students the ability to drop a class after the third week of the semester has taken effect on a trial basis beginning this semester.

The Recording Committee, which now has the authority to approve requests to drop classes after the three-week deadline, proposed the change in hopes that it would give more necessary leeway to students who are considering whether to drop a course.

According to Interim Dean for Academic Affairs Jennifer Scanlon, the Recording Committee had pre-viously only been able to approve a student’s request to drop a course if something had happened outside of the student’s control.

“There were a number of reasons that the Recording Committee felt were legitimate reasons on a stu-dent’s part [to drop a course], but it was prohibited from making ap-proval of those because its mandate was so limited,” said Scanlon.

In response to its lack of man-date, the Committee spent about a year discussing and designing a new policy that would give students enough time to get all the necessary information before deciding to drop a class. This past April, the Commit-tee recommended the new policy to faculty. After further discussion, the

Courtesy of the new Bowdoin College Guide app, students now have a multitude of Bowdoin-cen-tric information at their fingertips. The app—downloadable for free on the App Store and Google Play—includes a school calendar, dining menus, laundry and OneCard infor-mation, news, maps and other infor-mation. Originally developed to aid visitors coming to campus for events like class reunions and Commence-ment Weekend, the app was upgrad-ed this past spring to serve as a tool for students.

“[The app] turned out to be in-credibly successful over the last couple of years. We thought it’d be nice if there was a consistent guide for everyone to use, particularly stu-dents,” said Director of Digital and Social Media Holly Sherburne.

Sherburne, along with Senior In-teractive Developer David Francis and Technology Integration Special-ist Juli Haugen, began to upgrade and rebrand the event app. Addi-tions to the app include “The Bow-doin Guide,” the primary tool for students within the app.

Since its start last spring, the Bowdoin app has been installed more than 2,200 times. The Bow-doin Guide within the app has been

New Bowdoin app replaces Orbit, boosts calendar use

New hires join Bowdoin to improve student experience

) e College has hired multiple new sta* members this fall, four of whom will be working closely with students in order to improve the student expe-rience.

Brandon Royce-Diop joins Bow-doin as Assistant Dean of Upperclass Students, replacing Assistant Dean Christopher Dennis. He will focus on working with students with last names beginning with A-L, and will also serve as alternative Judicial Board Advisor. Royce-Diop served in an number of leadership roles in Minneapolis, most recently as Dean of Students at the Fair School in Crystal, Minnesota.

Royce-Diop’s experience includes leading and co-founding the Kente Summit for Collegiate Black Males at Macalester College and the New Lens Urban Mentoring program through the St. Paul Public School, two leader-ship and mentoring programs.

Currently earning his Master’s in Education at the University of St. ) omas, Royce-Diop holds a bach-elor’s degree in Psychology from St. John’s University.

Chicago native Ben Harris is Bow-doin’s new Director of Multicultural Life. He is tasked with creating positive experiences for students from a variety of backgrounds. Harris said his attrac-tion to Bowdoin stems from the small

size and warm student body.“It’s an opportunity to have some

impactful learning and to work with folks,” Harris said. “It’s such a small and intimate place.”

Before spending four years as as-sistant director of the Center for Black Culture at the University of Delaware, Harris earned his masters degree in English from Illinois State University and a B.A. from Elmhurst College. One of Harris’ primary goals at Bowdoin is to generate discussion about issues of race, diversity, education and privilege.

“I think it’s important that we cre-ate opportunities for students of diverse

Clayton Rose certainly looked the part on Wednesday, July 1, his first day as the College’s 15th president, sporting a pink, polar bear-dotted tie and a black “B”-emblazoned wal-let. His first act as president, too, was that of a seasoned campus leader: He brought in Frosty’s donuts for every-one in his office.

With those Bowdoin bona fides established, President Rose began his term with an explicit newcomer’s ap-proach.

“The broad theme for a while is going to be listening and meeting as many people as I can. I sent a note out to the faculty this morning saying that I’d very much like to meet with each one of them individually over the course of the coming months...

to learn about their aspirations for the College and their thoughts on the challenges ahead,” he said in a sit-down interview with the Orient. “I’m going to do the same with students, staff and alumni as well.”

It’s a continuation of the work Rose began after being named Barry Mills’ successor in late January, when he began splitting time between Bruns-wick and his role as a professor at Harvard Business School.

“The benefit is that I’m physically here now,” he said. “I’m not contend-ing with a job somewhere else where I have responsibilities, and trying to balance those two.”

Rose and his wife of 32 years, Ju-lianne, lived in a southern Maine home they’ve owned for several years for the first part of the summer and moved to the former Mills residence at 79 Federal Street in Brunswick later in July.

Rose said his and his wife’s enthu-

siasm for their move to Maine was matched by their two sons, Garett and Jordan, who live in Washington, D.C. and New York City, respectively.

“They were incredibly excited and pumped up about it,” he said.

Campus issues

In an April interview with the Orient, Rose declined to offer his positions on campus issues, saying he would wait until he was in of-fice before going on the record. He delivered on that promise Wednes-day, calling human-induced climate change “one of the greatest issues we face as a world” before echoing the Board of Trustees’ (and Barry Mills’) position that the College ought not to divest from fossil fuels.

“I’ve done a lot of reading about where we come from and what our

5 e setting: Jack Magee’s, the 6 rst o7 cial school Pub Night of the year. 5 e cast: eager, sweaty 6 rst years, slightly confused, slightly embarrassed sophomores, pretending-to-be-over-it juniors, jaded seniors, and... bananas. 5 is year’s 6 rst Pub Night added three unexpected characters to the mix: Matt Gutierrez ’16, Jacob Rus-sell ’17, and Simi Harrison ’16, dressed in bananas suits and a kangaroo suit, respectively.

Gutierrez provided some background to the whole en-deavor. Over the summer, in a conversation with Russell, Guti-errez mentioned that he owned banana suits. The two agreed that the suits needed to be put to use. Ultimately, they settled on Pub Night, which seemed to be an excellent occasion to break out the suits for the first time.

“It’s a weird, zany, strange night from the get-go, so why not add a little bit more to the weird, and wear banana suits?” said Gutierrez. “5 at’s why we de-cided to do it. 5 ey’re great suits.”

Russell agreed, noting, “These things like Pub Night are the big, hyped up things that every-one thinks are kind of stupid but everyone goes to anyway. But they’re really fun when you real-ly don’t take it seriously. We were just trying to have a good time.”

The overall response to the fruity crew was positive. Ac-cording to Russell, people were hugging them and laughing.

“One guy in a banana suit is not really good. Two guys in banana suits, with a kangaroo, really bal-ances out the squad,” said Russell.

Both Gutierrez and Russell have attended Pub Night in the past, and both agree that the ex-perience, within a banana suit, is quite different.

“It was pretty warm in there. Not a lot of head ventilation,” said Russell.

Gutierrez also added that Har-rison must have been sweltering in her thicker kangaroo costume, saying Harrison “probably lost a couple pounds of water weight.”

This isn’t Gutierrez nor Rus-sell’s first foray into the land of unexpected costume-wearing, fruit or otherwise. Gutierrez once went to the gym in a ba-nana suit, and Russell has a penguin suit he likes to wear to various events. He did provide one caveat, however, noting that the flightless bird suit is really “more of a winter item.”

Gutierrez does not plan to ex-pand his costume collection by adding other fruits or vegetables to the mix.

“I think I’m good with just the banana,” he said, “It’s just clas-sic. It gets the job done. There’s nothing not to like.”

Luckily, the bananas made it out in good condition, so the door to future banana escapades is not yet closed.

“I’m always surprised how often you get opportunities to wear things like that,” said Rus-sell.

“The banana suits will come back,” Gutierrez added. “They will make an appearance at some point before graduation.”

As to whether they will make an appearance at graduation, Gutier-rez said, “I’ll keep that in mind.”

Returning students will notice that several campus renovations took place over the summer. A new Media Commons was built in Hawthorne-Longfellow (H-L) Library, while the Office of Student Aid has moved to a newly-renovated Ashby House, and student housing was renovated in Coles Tower and Brunswick Apart-ments.

The new Media Commons is lo-cated in the old Scratch Space and is part of the H-L Library basement. It replaces the old Language and Media Center and has more versatile func-tions.

“The goal is to create a media hub,” said Marjorie Hassen, the director of the Bowdoin College Library, who organized the construction of the Media Commons.

In addition to housing media collections, the Media Commons supports film research and media creation. Adjacent to the existing electronic classroom are two screen-ing rooms, a multimedia lab and two productions studios, along with staff support for students.

“We built a space adjacent to the existing space that is already used. This way we are just enhancing what was there.” said Hassen. “So we didn’t start from scratch. And we thought

it made sense to bring all these to-gether into one place because it’s all related.”

Growing technology involvement in coursework has prompted the de-mand for additional facilities and media support.

“There’s more happening on cam-pus now related to film creation, both within and outside film stud-ies. Faculty from other departments are incorporating films and media into their classes.” said Hassen.

“I looked for a classroom every semester and tried everywhere,” said Professor of Asian Studies and Cinema Studies Shu-chin Tsui. She explained that film studies classes require special rooms with the right amount of light and a quality sound system.

Members of the faculty, library staff and IT formed a consulting group last year to discuss the blue-print of the Media Commons. The construction of the Media Com-mons, paid for with college funds, started in January and was finished in mid-August by Warren Construc-tion Group.

So far there is one course officially scheduled in the Media Commons. All the relevant classes take place in the 18-seat screening room.

“It’s very nice for a small-sized [film studies] class,” said Tsui. “It’s

also very convenient. The media li-brary is right next door.”

Other renovation projects were completed over the summer as well, including thorough renovation work that began in February on the exist-ing wood-framed Ashby House that now houses the Office of Student Aid.

“We’re now easily accessible on campus. They did a good job in making it [the] very functional building we need,” said Director of Student Aid Michael Bartini.

Additionally, eight rooms in Brunswick Apartments, Units R & S, were renovated. The renovations included remodeling the kitchens, painting, refinishing floors, general clean up and repairs to some interior plumbing.

The fifth through eighth floors of Coles Tower were also upgraded during the summer. This is part of a trustee-approved project to renovate the Tower, which will continue in the next two summers.

The multi-year project is funded by the College’s deferred mainte-nance budget and from the proceeds of a bond issue.

“It’s a very different vibe [between the renovated and unrenovated floors]. When you step off the eleva-tor, you’ll notice they’re no longer painted yellow and purple, which

makes you feel more at home. It just looks a lot nicer,” said Erin Mullins ’16, who lives on the eighth floor.

In addition to the projects men-tioned above, renovations of the his-

toric Harriet Beecher Stowe House at 63 Federal Street will be com-pleted soon. It will function as both a museum open to the public and as an office for faculty on sabbatical.

policies are as well as what other schools have done, and I have read or heard nothing to change my view that we should not divest,” he said. “So, we will continue that policy going forward. I’m happy to talk to anybody that wants to talk about this, and we’ll always strive to keep an open mind.”

Rose also commented on the issue of political correctness, which came to the forefront at Bowdoin in April when a survey conducted by Associate Profes-sor of Government Michael Franz indi-cated that 68% of respondents believed political correctness was a problem at Bowdoin.

“A liberal arts college has a particular responsibility among all institutions in America to create an open, honest, thoughtful, respectful dialogue across all kinds of points of view,” he said.

“Every member of the community…needs to encourage that kind of discus-sion and be willing to have their own ideas and thoughts—even those that are deeply held—challenged in a thoughtful and respectful way. 5 is can be to rein-force and strengthen them, but perhaps occasionally to see there might be anoth-er way of thinking about that issue. And also to understand how other thoughtful people can have a di6 erent point of view and understand why that might be, so that we get away from the phenomenon in American society of talking heads, where everyone is polarized and no one is listening to everyone else. 5 is is part of creating graduates who are able to en-gage in a serious way in civil society.”

Liberal arts, academia and beyond

Re7 ecting on an eclectic career that has included several senior management positions at J.P. Morgan as well as teach-ing undergraduates at the University of Pennsylvania and graduate students at Harvard, Rose spoke at length of his soli-darity with Bowdoin’s values.

“One of the reasons I was so excited about the possibility of assuming this po-

sition when the search was announced and I was thinking about putting my name in the ring was that it matches up with things I hold very deeply in several dimensions,” he said. “5 e 8 rst is—and this is kind of a hackneyed phrase, but I really mean it—I’m a true believer in the value of the liberal arts.”

Rose said that his appreciation for a liberal arts education began when he was an undergraduate himself.

“It is certainly true that I didn’t attend a small liberal arts college, but I had a profoundly important liberal arts edu-cation at the University of Chicago,” he said. “Unlike many research universities, the college there was a small piece of the larger research university, where there was dedication on the part of senior faculty to delivering a real liberal arts experience in many of the ways that we see here at Bowdoin, although Bowdoin

is distinct and has it’s own way of doing things. But that experience changed my life.”

A9 er 20 years at J.P. Morgan, Rose be-gan contemplating a career change when the bank merged with Chase in 2000.

“I very much enjoyed the work in 8 -nance. I wasn’t disa6 ected by it at all. I was able to do some really interesting remarkable things. 5 e 8 rm, at the time, was a place that 8 t with my values: colle-giality, intellectual honesty and respect,” he said. “5 at’s not really the world of 8 nance we see today, but that was the 8 rm in those days. When we sold the 8 rm, things changed. 5 e culture and the values were su: ciently di6 erent that I decided to leave. It was just time for me to move on. It was a place that, at it’s core, wasn’t the right 8 t for me.”

Rose said a great reverence for aca-demics and scholars played a large role

in his decision to pursue joining their ranks, and he enrolled in a doctoral pro-gram at the University of Pennsylvania in 2003.

“For me, it was about a challenge in a world that I had deep respect for and was deeply curious about. I wanted to see whether I had the intellectual capability to operate in that world, which is very di6 erent from the world I’d operated in before,” he said.

Upon receiving his Ph.D. in 2007, Rose received a position on the faculty at Harvard Business School.

“One thing that’s interesting about Harvard Business School is that there is a premium placed on teaching that is unlike most other graduate programs,” he said. “Senior faculty take their teach-ing responsibilities very seriously. 5 at was very appealing to me, because I love teaching and I value what great teaching

can do.”Rose believes the perspective he

gained from his experience teaching in higher education will be invaluable in his role as president at Bowdoin.

“Being on a faculty in the job I had, understanding how faculty view their responsibility to the whole institution, to their students, to their scholarship, will help me immensely,” he said. “Faculty are the heart of any educational institu-tion. Having been of a faculty and un-derstanding how a faculty thinks of the world, while the issues are going to be di6 erent here than they were at Harvard, I am hopeful [my experience] will allow me to work with my colleagues on the faculty on an e6 ective way.”

His business experience may also work to his bene8 t. While Rose announced in February that he would be stepping down from the Board of Directors at Bank of America, he remains a director at XL Group, a global insurance company, and at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), a non-pro8 t research organi-zation that is the nation’s largest private funder of biomedical research. Rose be-lieves his HHMI role will be especially valuable to his work at Bowdoin.

“I don’t get involved in decisions about where money gets allocated, so there isn’t a speci8 c con7 ict of inter-est there,” he said. “But what I’m able to do is understand—at a high altitude and layperson’s level—issues of where science may be going, where chal-lenges may be in raising money, where opportunities may exist for particular scienti8 c endeavors, and also to talk to scientists who are working on the bench about their work and what challenges they face intellectually, organization-ally and 8 nancially in getting done what they need to get done.”

When he’s not working, Rose said he and his wife plan to enjoy the Maine outdoors by biking, hiking, kayaking and, his favorite, 7 y 8 shing.

“I’m mindful of the hard work ahead, but excited by it,” he said. “I am really excited to be here. I’ve had a lot of in-teresting jobs in a career that I’ve been lucky to have. 5 is is the best job that I will ever have.”

COFFEE BREAK: President Rose gets co! ee at the Cafe during his fi rst o" cial day at Bowdoin. Rose has already taken a stance on a number of prominent issues on campus, including climate change and political correctness. He termed human-induced climate change “one of the greatest issues we face as a world.”

installed 1,658 times, with about 600 of those installations coming since August 22. iPhone users repre-sent 85 percent of downloads, while 15 percent of downloads came from Android users.

Additional guides will be avail-able for special campus events, such as Homecoming, Family Weekend, Commencement Weekend, Reunion and First Year Orientation. Guides for Homecoming and President Rose’s In-auguration are currently available.

5 is work coincided with a request from Bowdoin Student Government (BSG) for the creation of a better stu-dent calendar.

“It was something that few students looked at and that faculty and sta6 just crowded. It served no purpose be-cause no one looked at it,” said BSG President Danny Mejia-Cruz ’16.

“5 e Orbit was created and it never reached its full potential,” Director of Student Activities Nate Hintze said. “5 is past year [students said], ‘It comes at 11:11 and I delete it.’”

Mejia-Cruz said that many students complain about the Orbit, claiming that student organizations never use it as was originally intended.

“We want to get rid of it, we will be getting rid of it if it’s the last thing I do,” said Mejia-Cruz.

While the Campus Digest still alerts students by email about announce-ments and events, the app aims to make information—particularly cal-endars—more accessible and more frequently updated.

“We’re trying to streamline a calen-dar system so people across campus can look and see what’s going on in Reed House, in athletics, in the gov-ernment department, all in one loca-tion,” said Hintze.

Attempts have already been made to promote app use. Student Activities introduced the app to club leaders at a training meeting earlier this month, while 7 rst years could learn about the app at a table set up in the David Saul Smith Union during First Year Orien-tation. Posters will soon be going up around campus, though Sherburne said she hopes the app will gain trac-tion from word of mouth.

While currently focusing on pro-moting the calendar, Student Ac-tivities and Information Technology shared hopes to expand the scope of the app. 5 e app already overlaps with the popular student dining app, which includes similar features of dining menus and OneCard information.

“5 e pinnacle would be if we could 7 g-ure out how to get Safe Ride information on there…so you’ll have the phone num-bers for Safe Ride shuttle and Brunswick Taxi right there,” Hintze said.

motion was voted into policy on a trial basis on May 14. After a three-year trial basis, faculty will decide whether to make the new policy permanent.

One important factor of the new policy is that students can only choose to drop a course after the third week twice in their Bowdoin career (excluding the first semes-ter of their first year). According to Professor of Chemistry Danielle Dube, a member of the Recording Committee, this provision that lim-its the number of times a student can drop a class after the deadline was added on the day of the faculty vote in response to concerns that the extended deadline could lead to too much course shopping.

“A student would have to have a pretty compelling reason to use one of their two possible drops,” Dube said.

According to Dube, students must also receive approval from their

academic advisor before dropping a course.

“It’s really important to have a conversation about what the poten-tial benefits and downsides are of dropping a course,” Dube said.

Scanlon believes students will ap-preciate the new options that the policy gives them.

“[5 e policy] still necessitates a conversation between a student and their academic advisor, and that’s a good thing, but it does give students greater autonomy in making decisions that are right for them,” Scanlon said.

Many students agree that the new policy provides many benefits.

“I think, especially as a senior, that it is a positive and a good thing,” said Abby Roy ’16. “You could be thinking that you want to add a class, but then your other classes may have more work or you’re doing an honors or an independent study, and it might not be a class that you really need.”

“It seems to only add utility,” said Patrick Blackstone ’17. “It doesn’t seem to restrict students any more. It’s just giving them this extra option.”

Other new sta7 members are already familiar with campus. Recent Bowdoin graduate Laurel Varnell ’14 stepped into the role of Associate Director of Student Activities this fall.

Varnell’s primary task is to oversee a variety of campus-wide events, along with programming for Jack Magee’s Pub & Grill and the Cra8 Center. Ad-ditionally, she will act as a sta7 liaison to the 6 rst-year class council. As a student, Varnell served in numerous leadership roles on campus, including positions for Residential Life (ResLife), Relay for Life and the Women’s Re-source Center. As a sta7 member, she aims to translate the desires of students into a College-funded reality.

Varnell said that her attraction to this position stemmed from her past work in ResLife.

“As an RA and proctor, I loved help-ing students navigate their path while at Bowdoin,” Varnell said. “I am able to continue do that in a professional way. [5 is job] is the perfect 6 t for me.”

Following graduation, Varnell worked at the Urban Justice Center, a nonpro6 t legal 6 rm in New York City. In her one-year fellowship position, Varnell represented clients in admin-istrative court to claim public bene6 ts.

Varnell said that her past Bowdoin experience will allow her to better ad-dress the needs of current students.

“When I was a student here, I had always dreamed about doing Student Activities,” Varnell said. “To be able to work in a department where [planning events] is their job is something I am very excited about.”

Varnell hopes to incorporate stu-dent artwork in her mission to revamp study spaces on campus, such as David Saul Smith Union. She also aims to reinvigorate the Cra8 Center through student-instructed courses and a re-duced membership fee.

Also new to the college is alum Khoa Khuong ’04, who will be the new As-sistant Dean of First-Year Students and Advisor to International Students.

“It feels really weird,” said Khuong. “I remember back when I was a stu-dent and I had this impression of the

dean’s o9 ce as this place where you don’t want to go, but now that I’m in this job, I’m like ‘Wow, we do so much more than discipline people.’”

Khuong started on August 3 and has since been working closely with the 6 rst-year class. Before returning to Bowdoin, he taught math for 11 years, most recent-ly at North Yarmouth Academy.

“At 6 rst I wasn’t sure about this job because I didn’t have any experience

with higher education, but I really en-joy advising international students be-cause I consider myself international,” said Khuong, who grew up in Vietnam. “So I’m looking forward to working with international students and help-ing them.”

Khuong is looking forward to work-ing with all 6 rst-year students to help them feel welcome at Bowdoin by con-necting them to the College’s resources.

“5 ere are a lot of new things I am taking on in terms of this job and this new position, and my goal is to do this job well,” Khuong said. “For me, [it’s] to make sure that I know faculty and what the resources are here. I feel like I am a liaison for my 6 rst-year students.”

For most students, extracurricu-lars take place won Bowdoin’s cam-pus. Trevor Kenkel ’18, however, can be found in Lisbon, ME in between classes operating his own farm.

Kenkel is the Chairman and Founder of Springworks Farm, an aquaponics farm in Lisbon, ME that is about 30 minutes from campus.

From a young age, Kenkel became interested in sustainable agriculture. When a local creek in his hometown of Kalispell, Montana, experienced a huge loss in biodiversity due to hu-man agricultural activity upstream, Kenkel was fascinated.

“I made this rough connection as a kid that agriculture could signifi-cantly change the ecosystems around me,” said Kenkel.

Looking for more sustainable ways to farm, he started a small organic garden in his hometown. However, given Montana’s short growing sea-son, Kenkel was only able to produce his own food for a small portion of the year, and he wanted to expand.

A! er reading about aquaponics on-line, he built his " rst aquaponics sys-

tem with money from his summer job. “My parents thought I was crazy,”

said Kenkel.In aquaponics, fish are housed

in recirculating tanks that produce the fertilizer that the plants need. The plants then use that fertilizer to grow, which keeps the water clean for the fish.

“We take both of those waste streams and combine them in a re-lationship that ends up making the process better. We use about 90% less water, ten times less space—and that doesn't include the fact that we are able to operate year round.”

From there, he continued to ex-pand upon his first system with fi-nancial assistance from his family. Soon, he had enough produce to feed his family and neighbors with plenty to spare. Afterwards, Kenkel began to sell to local restaurants.

“I had seen the potential of a busi-ness in it before that, but it was really nice to go out and start to prove that business model,” Kenkel said. “That’s when I started developing what is to-day Springworks. I began creating a business plan and pitching to inves-tors the idea and receiving the fund-

ing and locating ourselves in Maine.”Kenkel was originally recruited

by Bowdoin to play football, which established his connection to Maine. After seeing the food scene in Port-land, he knew that Maine would be a suitable location for the farm, and it would also allow him to live nearby during his time in college.

“We felt like Maine was so well-prepared for this kind of business because they care about their food so much,” said Kenkel.

Springworks purchased its land in Lisbon in the spring of 2014. Kenkel spent his first year at Bowdoin build-ing the system and working on the interior components. Springworks harvested its first crops in July of this year.

Many local restaurants have ex-pressed interest in working with Springworks. Kenkel is currently selling to over 18 local establish-ments, including Gelato Fiasco, Wild Oats Bakery and Café and Frontier Café.

“Wild Oats has been a great cus-tomer for us,” said Kenkel. “We sell a couple of different varieties of let-tuce, basil, mizuna, things of that

nature.”“We went out for a tour of their fa-

cility, and I was really impressed with their product,” said Becky Shepherd, owner of Wild Oats. “It's clearly very fresh and clean, and I thought that it was a wonderful concept.”

Springworks is the first farm that Wild Oats has worked with that can produce year round, which has given Wild Oats the ability to continue to buy locally outside of season.

“We usually get two to three deliv-eries a week from them, and they're super responsive to anything that we need or any feedback we have for them—they're always looking for ways that they can improve,” said Shepherd.

Recently, Bowdoin Dining has shown interest in getting involved in Kenkel’s work. Although nothing is formally set in place for Bowdoin becoming a long-term customer, Kenkel is excited to see where the re-lationship goes.

“I have been talking to [Bowdoin Dining] pretty extensively. They're really excited about it,” Kenkel said. “They plan on using Springworks’ greens for the president’s inaugural

dinner.”Aside from the commercial side

of his business, Kenkel has made it a priority to educate the community on sustainable agriculture through the use of “Microfarms” that people can purchase for use in their own homes.

“It takes what we do on the large scale and squeezes it down to the size of a ten-gallon aquarium,” Ken-kel said “We’re excited to use it as an educational tool.”

Kenkel is also working with lo-cal teachers at Morse High School in Bath, ME to help design their AP Biology curriculum to incorporate more education about sustainable agriculture. Students can visit the farm and learn about aquaponics through MicroFarms.

Like many other Bowdoin stu-dents, Kenkel also has to manage a heavy workload.

“I think a lot of Bowdoin stu-dents have extracurriculars that they spend a lot of time on, and if you schedule yourself properly, there's a lot of time during the day that can be used to work on projects like this,” Kenkel said.

Football player turned farmer: Kenkel makes mark on agriculture

Merlot-ering the bar: Beringer falls short of oaky dreams into sour wasteland

Rules were meant to be broken, and what better way to start our turn at the helm of this column than by breaking the prohibition uttered by Paul Giamatti in the award-winning " lm “Sideways”—“I’m not drinking any fucking Merlot.” # e " lm looms large in our consciousness as we obstruct the wine aisle in Hannaford.

Will’s mother expressly forbade him from watching it as a child, and despite a priest’s glowing review of the Alexander Payne project in a 2004 Sunday sermon, Martin emerged from a late-night view-ing last year feeling more than ever like a 45-year-old man.

We settle on a 2013 Beringer Merlot, whose handy $ avor spectrum on the back label both previews its $ avor pro" le and renews our appreciation for Bowdoin alum/sexologist Alfred Kinsey.

Despite lacking the bottle-recommend-ed “grilled meats” to pair, we decant to the scenic vistas of Coles Tower and swap an-

ecdotes to establish our viticultural bona " des (at last reckoning, Will’s summer trip to Napa barely eclipses Martin’s semester of drinking %3 bottles of tinto in Spain).

In a beautiful homage to Ryan Pea-body and Dan Lipkowitz’s " rst column two years ago, Will spends seven minutes sawing through the wax label with one of Moulton’s " nest butter knives.

And with some Ma c G y v e r- i n -spired " nagling, Martin " nally opens the bottle with a novelty corkscrew Will snuck past the TSA en route to school.

We let the Beringer aerate in our newly purchased mason jars (Hannaford inex-plicably does not stock stemware) before we taste.

We are confronted by a strong alcohol scent but soldier on and take a sip. # e taste is milder than the smell.

While the bottle claims hints of cur-rants and oak, the $ avor instead assumes

a more generic citrusy-sour note. Will notes that the wine has no legs, appreciat-ing how the Beringer neglects to stick to the sides of our mason jars.

Subsequent tastes reveal hidden $ a-vors, leading us to a begrudging respect for a wine that seems comfortable with embracing its $7.49 identity. # e over-

all impression is one of thinness; the wine is quite drinkable. If you like the idea of water, but hate the taste, this might be the drink for you.

Our decision to go with Merlot

was willfully contrarian, an attempt to buck the decline in California Merlot cul-tivation in the wake of “Sideways.”

However, Wikipedia happily informs us that the wine, made from the blue French grapes favored by blackbirds, had already enjoyed its day in the sun in the nineties thanks to a “60 Minutes” report promoting the French diet.

While we are certainly enticed by the idea of drinking Merlot as a step on the path to Continental " tness, the wide vari-ety of interchangeable French reds means that the Beringer is unlikely to make it into a regular rotation in our theoretical wine cellars.

One of my ! rst kitchen memories consists of my father handing a very small and somewhat clumsy me a gal-lon jar stu" ed full of bright green cu-cumbers, red onions and golden liquid and telling me to “shake like hell, we don’t mind the noise.”

# is was a unique kitchen task in that he felt there was not much risk in entrusting it to me—I o$ en had a dangerous tendency to impatience and carelessness when tasked with a me-ticulous job. So involving me in a fam-ily recipe in which the actual last line (handwritten on a yellowed, crinkled Post-it) was “Shake like hell, we don’t mind the noise,” seemed ! tting.

# e raucous and celebratory shak-ing of a huge jar was the main allure of this recipe for me then, and still is now, although the list of great things about this recipe has since gotten longer.

1) It’s delicious. 2) It’s incredibly simple, bypassing all of the sterilizing and pressurization usually required for canned things. 3) When I am home, it uses up the overwhelming number of cucumbers that emerge from my moth-er’s garden. 4) It tastes like summer and lasts all winter. It provides brightness and crunch from local vegetables well into the season when the ground is fro-zen hard under feet of snow, unwilling to o" er up any of the goodies that are so plentiful in the summer.

For this reason, pickling, as well as canning and other methods of preser-vation, is rightfully becoming a cen-terpiece of the local food movement.

Food preservation has been part of human culture for centuries, and actually was key in allowing previ-ously nomadic cultures to settle and establish year-round communities.

Harvested foods no longer had to be eaten immediately, but instead could be stored for when fresh food was scarce. Food preservation in the home was a critical part of feeding oneself and one’s family during the winters of the seven-teenth, eighteenth and nineteenth cen-

turies across the United States, a la the stories of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

To my young self, raised with three major supermarkets and an obscene number of restaurants within a ! ve-minute drive, these were tales of long-lost, fantastical, nostalgic times where food was work—growing, raising, slaughtering, cooking, canning, every last part of every last organism used in some way to stave o" hunger or disease or cold.

I knew as I shook the gallon jar of green and red and gold, many hun-dreds of years and technological devel-opments later, that food could be trans-ported from anywhere—scarcity was something that could be conquered by ingenuity.

However, in a manner that I hope is more than a trend or a fad, food-ies around the world are returning to home food preservation as part of a healthy food system, a way to make the most out of locally grown produce

when it is available.# is, I hope, will be the purpose of

this column throughout the semester: to make the most out of locally grown food when it is available.

I have come a long way from my for-mer jar-shaking self in terms of my in-terest and respect for food. I love food: I love to cook it, I love to eat it, and I love to study it. Every single thing on every single shelf of every single gro-cery store has a complicated history in-volving people and money and science and soil and sun.

I believe that with the way our sys-tem works now, we are too far removed from that story. I therefore hope to possibly inspire a trip to the farmer’s market, a di" erent choice at Han-naford, a meal cooked with friends or at the Bowdoin Food Co-op using local ingredients. Or maybe just a dialogue about these things. About how a jar of pickles from Hannaford, sent to them from Michigan, processed in a high-

tech factory, costs less than a bunch of fresh cucumbers from the farm down the road.

But not to worry, my ! rst recipe is very budget-friendly, even when buy-ing local! I got everything that I could for this recipe from the farmer’s mar-ket at the Crystal Springs Farm on Sat-urday morning, and the other things (sugar, vinegar, pickling salt—items not readily found from a local produc-er) at Hannaford.

I opted out of the gallon jar, and instead used a quart jar, anticipat-ing less-than-happy roommates if a monstrous jar of pickles occupied most of our fridge space for the rest of the winter.

The result: tangy, crunchy cukes and onions as a quick snack that will remind me of 80-degree days, sun-shine and that wonderful morning at the farmer's market, even when I have on two sweaters in bed and the sun sets at 4 p.m.

This year, the Bowdoin Outing Club (BOC) and the McKeen Cen-ter for the Common Gaood worked together to create a series of hybrid pre-orientation trips that combined outdoor adventures and a service as-pect.

These Service and Adventure Ori-entation (SAO) trips provided a third option for incoming first years, one that was welcomed by both trip lead-ers and new students.

“I absolutely wanted to lead one of these trips because it was kind of like a new guinea pig idea,” said Lloyd Anderson ’16, one of the leaders of an SAO Trip to Carrabassett Valley.

For both Anderson and his co-leader Bailey Moritz ’16, however, it was more than just the novelty that drew them to lead these trips.

“I requested to do a hybrid trip be-cause I felt like the idea to combine adventure and service was very Bow-doin and represented Bowdoin really well,” said Moritz. “In the Offer of the College, it talks about how important place is, as well as giving back to the community and contributing to that place that you’re enjoying.”

The types of service on the SAO trips included working on trails, dig-ging and implementing an outhouse pit—which Anderson christened—

clearing beaches and removing trash. “The trail maintenance was actu-

ally the best part,” said Moritz. “I had never thought about the people who actually go to maintain the trails. The guy who helped us maintained a 60-mile part of the Appalachian Trail. It really gave me an appreciation for the people who do this work.”

For Erik Liederbach ’19, the ser-vice aspect of his trip helped his group bond.

“We were hiking through the rain carrying a giant plank of wood to cover boggy areas, and I was like, ‘wow, this is the epitome of team bonding,’” he said.

Anderson also believes the service activities of the SAO trips helped bring their groups together in a more meaningful way.

“It’s a special kind of bonding that I don’t think would have happened if they hadn’t had this work to do,” An-derson said.

According to BOC Assistant Di-rector Adam Berliner ’13, BOC trips had featured a larger service compo-nent in years past. Berliner said that future student opinion would dictate whether service once again becomes a substantial part of the BOC’s rep-ertoire.

“In the end, because the BOC is a student club, whatever the students are interested in becomes the focus of what we do,” said Berliner.

Although classes ! nish by the middle of May, the campus is by no means quiet during the summer months. In addition to the 277 Bowdoin students who stayed in campus housing over the summer, hundreds of other people, both from the Brunswick community and from outside it, can be found on campus on any given day.

Bowdoin is home to over 30 programs that take place over the summer. " ese programs range from athletic camps to music festivals and academic events.

" e Bowdoin International Music Festival, one of the longest-standing summer programs at the College, wel-comes approximately 250 performers from all over the world to participate in music and composition studies.

" e Maine State Music " eatre, also

one of the longest running programs, performs musicals in Pickard " eater. Both programs have been on campus for over 50 years.

In addition, this past summer also featured many new programs. " e larg-est of the new events was the College Horizons Program. " e admissions sta# was heavily involved in the program, which brought approximately 100 stu-dents to Bowdoin.

When considering which new pro-grams to host on campus, the O$ ce of Events and Summer Programs looks at both the logistical factors, such as scheduling and facilities available, and also whether the new program incorpo-rates educational aspects.

“O% en times, we’ll try to pick pro-grams that ! t the big picture mission,” said Director of Events and Summer Programs Tony Sprague.

“Many of our programs have some

educational aspect,” said Sprague. “If it’s something that has some academic nature to it, we’ll o% en try to get an idea from [" e O$ ce of the Dean for Aca-demic A# airs] to see whether it would make sense for it to be here on campus.”

A large number of summer programs consist of athletic camps. Although these camps are traditionally run by Bowdoin coaches, they are not o$ cial College camps.

Many of the summer camps, in-cluding athletic camps and camps that involve other activities, are residential camps, which means the College pro-vides dining, facilities and rooming to those involved.

Additionally, the College also hosts two major summer camps for children.

" e Bowdoin Summer Art Camp, which takes place in " e Robert H. and Blythe Bickel Edwards Center for Art and Dance, and the Bowdoin Summer

Day Camp, which takes place in the William Farley Field House and attracts 250-300 campers each week.

“" e camps, in large part, are an op-portunity to bene! t the community in terms of a place where kids can have fun things to do,” Sprague said. “" ey’re an opportunity for the families of faculty and sta# here.”

A large advantage of these programs is that they create lots of activity that draws a variety of people to campus during a season when classes are not in session.

“" ere’s a lot of admissions visitors and a large number of students who are on campus,” Sprague said. “Our partnership with a number of these programs provides people the chance to see the campus and see some activity and it’s also a good opportunity for our current students to be exposed to some di# erent things.”

" e programs not only draw people to campus but also allow the College to contribute to the arts and entertainment scene of Brunswick.

“Certainly with the festival and the theater, they provide meaningful con-tribution to the arts and entertainment culture of Brunswick in the summer and create an active campus and active community,” said Director of Finance and Campus Services Del Wilson, who also formerly served as director of sum-mer events and summer programs.

Sprague hopes students who stay on campus in the summer will attend more events in the future.

“For students who are here in the summertime, we hope they take ad-vantage of some of the opportunities that they have, like going to concerts or being able to see some of the shows,” Sprague said.

The Bowdoin College Museum of Art brings new perspective to its galleries in “Night Vision: Noc-turnes in American Art, 1860-1960.” This show, featuring approximately 90 American works, is one of the first to gather nocturnal scenes of a wide variety of media.

The depiction of night is common in art, and the museum’s staff was intrigued by the subject’s appeal. The time period the staff chose to focus on is bookended by two im-portant times in illuminating the night—the dawn of electricity in the mid-19th century and the beginning of the Space Age in the 1960s.

“It’s interesting to think about why artists are drawn to the night,” said Museum Co-Director Frank Good-year. “Is it the challenge of paint-ing or printing or photographing in darkness? Is it the visual effects that create interesting artistic moments? Is it the quality of life during the

night that interests artists?”Joachim Homann, the museum

curator, realized that two of Bow-doin’s most beloved American paint-ings—Winslow Homer’s “The Foun-tains at Night” and Andrew Wyeth’s “Night Hauling”—both featured night images.

“If people were talking about American paintings in our collec-tion, they were often remarking on those two and how fond they were of them,” said Homann. “I realized that they were both nocturnal scenes.”

Soon after, Homann began build-ing a show from Bowdoin’s collec-tion and loans from other museums. The Museum has amassed close to 90 pieces for the show, a third of which are from Bowdoin’s collec-tion. The others have been lent by 30 other galleries, including works from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Of the 90 works, Frank Goodyear recommends Bowdoin’s own “Foun-

tains at Night” by Winslow Homer.“It really directly addresses the

theme of the show, which is what it is like to paint at night,” he said. “In particular, “Fountains at Night” [ad-dresses] how does electrical light il-luminate a scene.”

“It is an exhibition that very much looks at both the literalness of night-time and transition but also meta-phorically what that means,” Mu-seum Co-Director Anne Goodyear added.

One work in the exhibition falls outside the 100-year time period on which the show focuses: Michel Auder’s video installation, which explores the night from the perspec-tive of an apartment in New York City.

“It provides a counterpoint to the

“Night Vision” show from a contem-porary perspective,” said Homann. “It’s beautiful and poetic work, but it’s also a little creepy, but it’s about seeing what other people are doing at night. Michel Auder is experienc-ing things in the night that really resonate with things that have hap-pened in the last 100 years before him.”

The Museum also arranged aux-iliary work to accompany the main gallery shows. A series of artists and art historians, including scholar Al-exander Nemerov and artist Richard Bosman, will appear this fall. The Museum has also produced a cata-logue book of essays and artwork to accompany the show.

“The experience of the exhibition is very local, and the book helps us

to engage audiences globally,” said Homann. “It helps to spread the reputation of the College far beyond the campus.”

The catalogue and lectures have also helped transition the show from its summer phase into a fall one geared for students and academics.

“Night Vision” closes on October 18. The Student Night at the Mu-seum on September 25, which opens the galleries at night for a cappella, hors d’oeuvres and art, is another opportunity for students to view the exhibition.

“[The show] really is an oppor-tunity in a very succinct fashion for students to come and get to know the collection better but above all to think about their own dreams and the things that draw them forward,”

CODIRECTOR OF THE BOWDOIN COLLEGE MUSEUM OF ART FRANK GOODYEAR

After Assistant Professor of Dance Charlotte Griffin’s unexpected de-parture from the College this sum-mer, the Department of Theater and Dance hired New York choreogra-pher and now Visiting Artist Laura Peterson to teach advanced modern dance students and bring an inter-disciplinary eye to projects in the department.

According to Chair of the Theater and Dance Department Paul Sar-vis, Griffin left Bowdoin for a job at the University of California, Irvine, where she will conduct research and teach classes.

Speaking on behalf of Griffin, Sarvis said that Irvine’s proximity to Los Angeles pushed Griffin to leave Bowdoin this past summer.

“It was abrupt because [Griffin] was very happy at Bowdoin…but she was approached by UC Irvine and invited to apply for a position there,” Sarvis said. “I think it’s being in the greater Los Angeles area where there is a population of young danc-ers who are available to recruit…and that’s the one issue about our loca-tion in Maine. There’s not an army of young dancers in Portland who are chomping at the bit and wanting to be in your dance. I think that was the determining thing.”

Peterson, who was hired during an informal search for a one-year visiting artist, met the dance depart-ment’s criteria of excellent artistic work, a terminal degree, intellec-tual engagement, a strong teaching record, and a willingness to live in Maine. A formal search to perma-nently replace Griffin will take place this school year.

“What we wanted to do because of Charlotte’s absence is generate some excitement and get a cutting-edge New York choreographer to come and teach,” Sarvis said.

In particular, Sarvis noted Peter-son’s commitment to the disciplines of dance, sustainability, architecture and the visual arts. During her time at Bowdoin, Peterson hopes to col-laborate with the Department of Vi-

sual Arts.“One idea I had is what if we could

get some of the visual arts students to come into a [dance] class, we could work together on something and that would be really interest-ing,” Peterson said. “Modern dance is modern art and that it is a visual experience…. Dance doesn’t exist in a vacuum.”

Sarvis said that the department was looking forward to potential collaborations with the visual arts department.

“We are particularly excited by her engagement with visual art...we’re really enjoying the company

of our visual arts colleagues, we thought that would be, especially, kind of piquant syngery,” he said.

Peterson also said she was excited to work with students who have a wide range of academic interests, as she had previously only taught un-dergraduate students in Bachelor of Fine Arts programs, where students tend to only study dance.

“[The students] just have a wide variety of ideas and interests and it can really make a classroom vibrant in a different way,” she said.

In her classes, Peterson wants to teach contemporary dance as it re-lates to contemporary issues and

how dance is related to other art forms. In her technique class spe-cifically, she wants her dancers to fully comprehend what it means to be aware of their bodies, the music and the space they’re using.

Peterson will also choreograph an audition-based piece set on Bow-doin dancers for the December Dance Concert.

Peterson also said that the ability to choreograph for a small group is unique for a dance program.

“I’m just going to try to make the dance for the people right there and stay true to whatever concept is aris-ing through our process,” she said.

For the rest of the Bowdoin com-munity, Peterson hopes to portray contemporary dance as a serious in-tellectual pursuit.

“[Dance] can have this really full sense, and that’s something I think is really important to share with the community here, the idea of fully-developed dance and contemporary dance,” she said. “There’s a ton of jazz dance, there’s a ton of commer-cial dance on television and in vid-eos, and modern dance is as physi-cal [as those styles] and might have a different intellectual structure…[modern dance] is more of an ab-stract art form.”

If you drank a little too much beer at last night’s social house party; you should try drinking three eels out of a glass jar. That’s what a College-owned medicinal cookbook recom-mends at least. The book is part of an acquisition of seven hundred cookbooks made by the George J. Mitchell Department of Special Col-lections and Archives. The books will be belong to the Esta Kramer Collection of American Cookery which includes cookbooks and do-mestic advice books published be-tween 1772 and 1960, though the majority of the collection dates back to the 1800s.

“Since the acquisition of this col-lection, I have talked with Bowdoin students—some of whom have never been in Special Collections faculty

members who are working on books and want to use this to supplement their research, and other commu-nity members,” said Marike Van Der Steenhoven, a special collections and archives outreach fellow.

“Almost any topic or discipline can be served by this collection. The depth and the breadth is amazing,” said the Director of Bowdoin Col-lege Library, Marjorie Hassen. “For us, it’s a fabulous resource and we’re hoping as the word gets out [stu-dents and faculty] will think about ways they can incorporate it into their classes.”

One first year seminar professor has already expressed interest in vis-iting the collection with her class.

“The seminar is using this cookery collection [to look] at different me-dicinal recipes over time,” said Van Der Steenhoven. “The cookbooks

are an amazing way to look at dif-ferent periods of time and see how food changes and shifts in ideologies based on social movements...there’s a nice juxtaposition of how things have stayed the same and how other things have changed.”

In particular, Van Der Steenhoven notes that the collection can be used to track alcohol use in conjunction with changes in policies and temper-ance.

“When we think about our Special Collections, we think about how a collection is supporting the College, students, and faculty and student research,” added Hassen. “When we think about building collections or gifts, it is prime to think about how our students and faculty can use it.”

The rare book dealer who sold the books to Bowdoin provided a cata-logue that provides both a physical

description and historical context for some of this work. Going for-ward, librarians hope to continue to catalogue the collection in order to make it even more accessible.

Currently, there is an assortment of ten books displayed in the Read-ing Room for people to browse. This includes the first cookbook pub-lished in Maine as well as a domestic advice book written by sisters Har-riet Beecher Stowe Catharine Beech-er, which they wrote after leaving Brunswick.

“I’ve discovered that there is a really deep collaborations among institutions in Maine,” Hassen said. “The importance of the collection for Maine is something to keep in mind.”

Looking forward, Bowdoin Spe-cial Collections plans on exhibiting the cookbooks alongside other ma-

terials in the archives.“One of the things I’m going to

be working on for the spring semes-ter is an exhibit that highlights and draws on this collection,” said Van Der Steenhoven. “I’m interested in pairing it with items from our cur-rent book and manuscript collec-tions.”

Hassen also noted that the cook-books’ value extends beyond the in-formation they contain.

“In this day when so many re-sources are available electronically, here’s an incredible resource that has a physicality to it. That’s unique,” she said. “It’s exciting for students who are interested in that aspect of research and learning to have that opportunity. It’s not esoteric, it’s something that’s been part of all our lives because it’s food, which is a big part of everyone’s life.”

A group of students dressed in ani-mal onesies eating Cheez Whiz were listening to the live DJ set, in none oth-er than the ! e Robert H. and Blythe Bickel Edwards Center for Art and Dance on Monday. Tuesday brought a delectably di" erent event, with vases full of fresh-cut # owers and platters full of vegetables and hummus. Both nights, however, marked the gallery openings of students’ summer work: the $ rst showcased the work of Cody Stack ’16, the latter opening featured Tess Hamilton ’16.

Both students pursued indepen-dent art projects through the visual arts department grants and fellow-ships this summer. Stack received the Nellie C. Watterson Summer Fellow-ship in Creative and Performing Arts, while Hamilton received a Kaempfer Summer Art Grant.

Hamilton’s exhibition is titled “Migration,” and hosts colorful land-scapes that starkly contrast the plain, white walls of the Edwards White Box Gallery. Meanwhile, in Stack’s exhibition, “impatient/therapist,” industrial concrete sculptures and abstract paintings fill the Edwards Main Gallery.

The difference between their ex-hibits is indicative of the contrasting approaches to their work.

“There was never a vision at the start,” said Stack. “I was going to do contemporary abstractions with painting, which was so ambiguous.”

The open-ended nature of his proj-ect allowed Stack to spend 40 hours a week exploring different materials and ideas in his own studio in Ed-wards.

“I really just enjoyed playing with material—rubbing concrete on things, mixing gorilla glue into a mixture, and then coating it on the surface,” said Stack.

Hamilton entered her summer hoping to execute a plan. After working for a commercial fishery in Alaska last summer and studying in New Zealand this past semester, Hamilton’s initial idea for her sum-mer project revolved around painting the migration flyway of the bar-tailed godwit, a bird species that migrates from Alaska to New Zealand.

“The immediate personal connec-tion was that [the bar-tailed godwit] migrates from Alaska, where I spent last summer, so I had my own geo-graphic perspective on how far it takes to fly a similar distance,” said Hamilton. “I could’ve seen the same individual in such different settings in my own life and such different geographic settings.”

Both students found themselves re$ ning the directions in which their exhibitions would go throughout the summer.

“I started painting the birds when I got back [from New Zealand] and I was very precious with the paint and the details of the birds,” Hamilton said. “They were anatomically cor-rect but they just seemed dead to me and flat, so I just scratched that and started just painting landscapes and having fun with color.”

Adjusting the theme of her work, Hamilton painted the landscapes of the places that she and the bar-tailed godwit have shared as temporary homes during her four years at Bow-doin. In “Migration,” Alaskan moun-tain ranges and New Zealand river-beds are depicted naturalistically, but with color experimentation, like patches of red, pink, and yellow.

Stack’s work began to take shape after he discovered the texture and materiality of concrete. “impatient/therapist” features canvases painted with concrete along with a large, winding sculpture made of tubes painted with cement. Shades of gray make up the entire palette of the show, achieving an austere and mini-malist look.

Throughout the summer, Stack regularly met with his advisor, As-sistant Professor of Art Jackie Brown, for critiques and advice.

“I think what was great was see-ing Cody be really experimental with what he was doing,” said Brown. “Every time I walked into the studio this summer, it looked different—his commitment to his practice is phe-nomenal.”

Both students said they found spending an entire summer creating art fulfilling.

“Anything I do, I want to be in a creative field,” she said. “This sum-mer, I approached things more as an artist.”

Athletic Training Services will now treat several club sports teams

Last year, the ! eld hockey team went 9-1 in the NESCAC, 19-3 overall, and were one win away from repeating as national champions. " e squad featured four All-NESCAC players, the NESCAC Player of the Year and two National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFCHA) All-Americans.

It should say something about the strength of Head Coach Nicky Pearson's program, then, that expectations are even higher for this season.

Despite losing several starters, includ-ing " ird Team All-American Colleen Finnerty and two-year starting goalkeeper Hannah Gartner, the Polar Bears entered the 2015 campaign ranked No. 1 in the NFCHA Division III preseason poll.

" e ranking likely surprised no one. " e squad returns 56 of its 76 goals scored from last season (74 percent), a remark-able 32 of which of which belonged to First-Team All American and NESCAC Player of the Year Rachel Kennedy '16. She'll co-captain the team with fellow First Team All-Conference selection Kim Kahnweiler '16, who will anchor the de-fense. Also returning are forward Kimmy Ganong '17, whose 11 goals were second-most on the team, and Second Team All-Conference mid! elder Mettler Growney '17. All told, the team returns seven of 11 starters from last year's squad.

In addition to captains Kennedy and Kahnweiler, the team will look to defend-ers Kelsey Mullaney and Alexa Baumgart-ner and forward Liz Znamierowski for senior leadership.

“" at’s one thing Nicky likes to em-phasize, having the senior class lead and everyone looking up to them," said Ken-nedy. "Each of us have di# erent strengths, and di# erent players will go to us for dif-ferent things."

“We have a senior class where everyone

wants to be a leader. In terms of creating a good team dynamic, when you have a class that all gets along, everyone can be looked up to," said Kahnweiler.

Znamierowski will be asked to step up, as she'll replace the graduated Adrienne O'Donnell on Bowdoin's high-powered front line. On the other end of the ! eld, Clara Belitz '17 appears to be the front-runner to replace Gartner in goal, while Liz Rill '17 and talented ! rst year Grace Linnan will compete for playing time in the same role.

" e team spent the preseason work-ing hard on fundamentals to ensure that strong team chemistry carries over to ac-tion on the ! eld.

“It’s di# erent coming back when you have spots to ! ll, so getting players in those positions and feeling comfortable and building team chemistry across the ! eld," said Kennedy. "" at’s one of our goals this season, to work with each other and o# each other.

“One thing [Coach Pearson] says at the beginning of every season is ‘" is is your only chance to play with this team,’" said Kahnweiler. "So we spend a lot of time building chemistry and working on basic skills—we do a lot of passing, stick skills, and make sure to mix up who we’re work-ing with in practice."

Mastery of such fundamentals is es-sential to Bowdoin's success, as Pearson's teams are known to dissect opposing de-fenses with quick movement and precise passing.

“We’re known for speed, we’re known for moving the ball," said Kahnweiler. "We call it one-touch hockey, get it and give it. We try to not take people one on one.

“We like to play a high-paced style. We focus a lot on our spacing and supporting the ball carrier, and we try to master and execute basic skills," said Pearson.

" e Polar Bears will indeed need to be sharp every week if they want to suc-

cessfully navigate the mine! eld that is a NESCAC regular season schedule. Per-petual rival Middlebury—who defeated the Bears in last year's NESCAC Champi-onship Game—return 10 of their 11 top goal scorers and were ranked No. 3 in the NFHCA preseason poll. Perennial 'CAC contenders Tu$ s, Amherst and Trinity also placed in the poll, ranking ninth, 11th and 15th, respectively. Bowdoin will also face No. 10 Wellesley in a midseason out-of-conference matchup.

Predictably, the team has adopted a "one game at a time" mentality.

“Our biggest rivals are usually Middle-bury and Tu$ s, but we do a pretty good job of staying focused on the next game ahead," said Kennedy. "You can’t look too far into the future."

“We would love to go undefeated. We’d love to have a perfect season," said Kahn-weiler. "And it’s great to have that com-mon goal, but that goes back into one game at a time. In order to meet that goal, you have to win today’s game."

" e team got o# to a good start on Wednesday night, dismantling the Uni-versity of New England on the road in its season opener. Znamierowski scored the Polar Bears' ! rst goal of the season, and Kennedy and Baumgartner each added one of their own for a 3-1 Bowdoin win. Belitz started in goal and made two saves.

Pearson's Bowdoin teams have won four of the last eight D-III National Championships, and veterans on this

year's team have experienced both win-ning and losing in national title games. If the team has any % aws, inexperience is not one of them.

“Having experience playing in that game—whether we’ve won it or lost it—the players then are aware of what it takes to get there. " ere are going be a lot of things on that journey that will be in your favor, and sometimes you have bad luck," said Pearson.

"I think that experience is valuable, but we never talk about it, to be honest with you. I start a new job every August, and

this is a group that will be better than last year’s team in some areas, and in oth-ers we may not be as good. I don’t like to compare teams—this is what we have this year. We’re going to play to the strengths of this group and enjoy and embrace the process."

“We all know at this point how much it takes to get there. It wasn’t by chance, it was because we worked hard," said Kahnweiler. "Some people might assume we’ll get there again, but there isn’t that assumption on the team. We all know it takes a lot.”

Field Hockey voted preseason No. 1Seeks fi fth title in nine years

Several club sports teams includ-ing water polo, ultimate Frisbee, equestrian, lacrosse and hockey will now have access to athletic training services, a resource that club athletes have been requesting for years.

“I’m just really happy they finally did it,” said Bowdoin Women’s Ulti-mate Frisbee Captain Ana Leon ’16. In the past, club athletes have strug-gled to find treatment on their own for injuries and have been forced to pay for rehabilitation services out of pocket.

According to Nate Hintze, direc-tor of student activities, this change was brought about largely because of the College’s increasing concern over concussions.

Access to training services means that club athletes in these sports will undergo the concussion testing and screening that is standard for varsity athletes. When Leon experienced

a concussion playing ultimate, the trainers were unable to work with her in part because she hadn’t com-pleted the baseline impact testing for comparison.

“I never fully understood how you can give such good concussion care to certain students and not to others,” Leon said. “I mean, we’re represent-ing Bowdoin, so it would be nice to have that [care].”

Director of Athletic Training Dan Davies explained that although there won’t be a specific trainer de-voted to club teams—as is the case with varsity sports—club athletes will have access to the training room in Farley Field House where they can work with a trainer when one is available. An additional full-time trainer—Morgan Ruetty—was hired this year as well.

Long-term treatment for injuries will continue to be conducted at Or-thopedic Associates, an independent physical therapy center located in

Brunswick Station. In previous years, injured club ath-

letes faced exclusion from the train-ing center resources, even from some as simple as an ice pack.

“Since we are playing a sport where a lot of injuries do happen, it’s a little bit scary that we didn’t have access to [the trainers],” said Bowdoin Water Polo Captain Chase Hodge ’16.

Caroline Coles ’16, the captain of the equestrian team, was injured her first year when she fell off a horse during a competition. Due to her sta-tus as a club athlete, she had to work with Health Services rather than with a trainer during her recovery.

“Club sports have just as much of a risk of injury as any other sport on

campus,” Coles said. For Bowdoin Men’s Ultimate Fris-

bee Captain Alex Roche ’16, access to trainers is just another step to-wards legitimacy for club sports at Bowdoin.

“Contrary to popular belief, [ulti-mate] is a pretty physically demand-ing sport and injuries do happen, so it’s nice to now know that we have ac-cess to the trainers,” Roche said. “It’s sort of part of a bigger struggle for the team to become a more legitimate sport both in the eyes of the commu-nity and the athletics department.”

While trainer access was extend-ed to some groups, others, such as alpine skiing, cheerleading, dance groups and jiu-jitsu, still do not.

! is summer, Addison Carvajal ’16 of the women’s rugby team was named a 2014-2015 USA Rugby Collegiate All-American, an honor that only 55 college players and two New England Small College Rugby Conference ath-letes received.

Before coming to Bowdoin, Carva-jal had never played the sport. In fact, she was recruited for track and " eld and also tried out for the soccer team. Asked to try rugby by many friends and peers, Carvajal said she “was ve-hemently against it.” Wanting to play a serious sport, she did not think rugby would meet the standards and levels of competition that she was used to.

Luckily, her sophomore year, Carva-jal’s friend convinced her.

“I loved it the second I started play-ing,” said Carvajal. “It was a very ath-letic sport, there was strategy, anything you could possibly want in a team sport.”

Since then, Addison has played a dif-ferent position each year. She started as an open-side # anker, and was moved

to the outside center in the backline, and this year she will change yet again to the position of fullback.

Head Coach of Women’s Rugby Ma-ryBeth Mathews noted the impressive-ness of Carvajal’s ability to adapt and her willingness to try to learn a new position each year while learning the sport.

“Even as a new player, with her ath-letic abilities and her speed, she was an asset on the team,” said Mathews.

Since she started, Carvajal has devel-oped immensely as a player.

“When I " rst started,” said Carvajal, “I pretty much thought if you just put the ball in my hands, I’ll run forward and score...and not have to do anything else.”

However, Carvajal explained that she has learned the importance of seeing the " eld and working with her teammates in order for success to hap-pen. Mathews noted Carvajal’s “de-termination to be good at what she is doing,” o$ en staying late at practice, asking questions and constantly striv-ing to be better.

! e All-American award is not the " rst time Carvajal has been recognized

for her rugby abilities. Carvajal attri-butes much of the recognition she has received to Coach Mathews, who put her name out to the coaches of the U.S. national team and launched her into that pool of players to be recognized. As a result, last year she was invited to train with the U.S.A. Rugby National 7s Team at the U.S. Olympic Training Center and had access to an intense week of training with national coaches and players.

As a junior, Carvajal was also invited to the National All-Star Camp, which she attended in Colorado in August. At the camp, she had further coaching and experienced a higher level of com-petition in both 15s and 7s rugby.

“Just being exposed to those coaches and having literally the best training of rugby in the United States is really real-ly lucky,” said Carvajal. “I try to take as much of what I learn and bring it back to this team. I see it as an opportunity to make the team that I’m on, and that I love, better.”

“Going to the sevens camp a year ago was bene" cial for her catching and passing, which then allowed her to be more successful in her new position in

the back" eld,” Mathews said.“She strives to be very good at what

she is doing,” she continued. “She is committed to her team —she will not let them down—and she is a smart ath-lete.”

Carvajal says that the All-American honor has given her motivation for her senior year campaign, especially as she undergoes the positional change to fullback.

“It relieves me a little; it gives me a lot of con" dence that they recognize that I do know what I’m doing out there,” said Carvajal.

Mathews said rugby is a bit like a chess match: it’s a game where intel-ligent players learn how to maneuver and manipulate defenses in order to exploit weaknesses and get ahead. Along with her teammates, Carvajal exhibits these skills necessary to suc-ceed in the sport. Beyond Carvajal’s athletic ability, footwork, strength and speed, Mathews applauded her leader-ship and work ethic.

“She is a good role model, and a vo-cal one on the pitch, which is very im-portant in rugby,” Mathews said. “She understands what the controllables are

and what the uncontrollables are. Her strong voice from fullback will be an asset to the team this season.”

A$ er graduation this year, Carvajal plans to re-evaluate the commitment of playing rugby on a national level.

“An opportunity like the Olympics or even just training with people like that is a once in a lifetime thing,” said Carvajal. “So my view is that if I’m healthy I’m going to go for it for as long as I can and see where it takes me.”

In the early weeks of the new sea-son, the Bowdoin Men’s Soccer Team will attempt to " ll the gaps le$ by four key seniors on last year’s NESCAC-winning squad.

“Graduation from last year leaves us with some holes in personality and position,” Head Coach Scott Wiercin-ski said. “But we’re excited about how some of the older guys have already stepped up and really tried to stake claim to some of those responsibilities and roles.”

“We still have guys that played in the big games last year,” mid" elder Ben Citrin ’16 said. “It feels similar to last year’s team in a lot of ways.”

Last year, Bowdoin’s defense clamped down and propelled the team to three consecutive road victories en route to its " rst ever NESCAC title. ! e last two games were decided by penalties a$ er a scoreless regulation and overtime.

“Our defense really did a good job of containing opponents down the stretch,” Wiercinski said. “I think in order for us to repeat we need to step up and score more goals in important minutes. I think last year we created a lot of chances, but we’re going to need the shots to fall just inside the post in-stead of outside of it.”

! is year’s team features lots of tal-ent and experience up front, which should mean more goals.

“We have players that can and need to change the scoreboard, and the good news is they know it,” Wiercin-ski said.

! e players certainly received the message on Tuesday. ! e Polar Bears travelled to the University of New England (UNE) (1-2) and handily de-feated the Nor’easters, 7-0.

Six di% erent players scored for Bowdoin (1-0), which surpassed its total from last season for most goals in a single game.

Forward Connor Keefe ’16 started

the scoring in the " $ h minute with a header o% a corner from captain An-drew Jones ’16. ! e senior mid" elder then got one of his own thirteen min-utes later o% a pass from the center of the " eld by mid" elder Matt Dias-Costa ’17.

Bowdoin broke the game open ear-ly in the second half, with mid" elder Moctor Niang ’19 knocking in a head-er in the " $ ieth minute followed by Jones’s second goal o% a one-time shot in the " $ y-third.

Forward Cedric Charlier ’17 found the back of the net in the sixty-" $ h minute, and Riley Bubb ’18 added an-other in the eighty-third.

Finally, Nick DiStefano ’18 converted a penalty in the closing minutes to " nish out the scoring. It was the second year in a row he scored against UNE, with last year’s goal coming in a much tighter 2-0 a% air.

Bowdoin " nished the game with 20 shots—11 on goal—while the Nor’easters " nished with four shots

and one on goal.“It was really good to get to get

some younger guys some experience,” Citrin said. “We have much tougher games coming up, I think four in a row. But it was good to get a game un-der our belt.”

Still, the win was encouraging for multiple reasons. First, it showed that scoring may be a strength for the Po-lar Bears going forward. But it also showed that Bowdoin can win on the road, something the team managed to do only three times in ten tries last year.

“I feel like our team is at a good point right now,” Wiercinski said. “As we move forward we really need to co-alesce and come together as a group with a real structure and style, and I trust that we’ll do that.”

! e team faces a tough test Satur-day, September 12 at Amherst at 2:30 p.m. ! e game will be a rematch of last year’s NESCAC title game, which Bowdoin won 5-4 on penalty kicks.

! is editorial represents the majority view of the Bowdoin Orient’s editorial board, which is comprised of John Branch, Sam Chase, Matthew Gutschenritter, Emma Peters and Nicole Wetsman.

This semester begins on the heels of a busy and complex year for social justice and activism at Bowdoin. In early December 2014, hundreds of students rallied on the Museum steps in support of

the Black Lives Matter movement. Bowdoin Climate Action continued its push for the College to divest from fossil fuel companies, bringing dozens of students to a sit-in at the president’s office in April. At the end of the spring semester, Students for Justice in Palestine initiated a referendum and heated debate on a boycott of Israeli academic institutions. Bowdoin, a campus not known for a culture of political activism, felt an undercurrent of change.

At the same time, a more tangible change was also taking place. For the better part of a year, Bowdoin conducted an extensive search for a leader to replace Barry Mills, who had spent 14 years as President of the College. The Board of Trustees selected Clayton Rose, a man who is enthusiastic about engaging with today’s pressing social justice issues. Bowdoin, a place where students have recently complained of a stifled dialogue with admin-istrators, was witness to a visible change.

Now, at the start of a new academic year, these two movements converge. Rarely in the memories of those on our campus has there been more of a genuine desire for dialogue on both ends. The slate is about as clean as it’s ever going to get.

Rose devoted a significant portion of his convocation speech to the topic of racial injustice, and he has taken strides to understand the perspectives of minority students at Bowdoin. Last Friday, through Director of the Stu-dent Center for Multicultural Life Benjamin Harris, Rose met with student leaders from the Multicultural Coalition, which is made up of organiza-tions such as the Asian Students Association, Students for Justice in Pales-tine and The Undiscussed.

It is up to us as students to continue to take Rose up on his offer to engage. Our recent wave of activism seems to have convinced President Rose of the student body’s investment in social justice, but it remains to be seen how responsive the administration will be to concrete proposals for change. And while student and faculty activists have organized events such as the October 1 teach-in, it’s unclear exactly how effective the event will prove to be.

We have students desperate to talk and a president eager to listen. Let’s take advantage of this opportunity. All forms of campus dialogue and sub-sequent activism—from organized discussion to uncompromising pro-test—are important, and social change rarely happens through any one channel. We shouldn’t count anything out. Maybe the teach-in will effect the most change this semester. Maybe smaller recurring meetings with President Rose will. Most likely, it will be a combination of both.

Window of opportunity

Relationships can wait: fi nd your own Bowdoin

Dear Class of 2019,

Welcome to Bowdoin! We would like to tell you something we wish someone had told us.

1 ree years ago, as freshly matriculated Polar Bears, we cried when our parents le2 , salivated over our 3 rst 1 orne dinner, crushed on our Pre-O leaders, crushed our 3 rst beers. Juniors and seniors asked us to dance at our 3 rst campus wide. 1 is was cool, we thought. So we dated them.

If you date an upperclassman, he might sneak you into the WBOR basement and let you play Beyoncé at midnight or she could take you on a beautiful run in the Commons when the 3 rst leaves are turn-ing red. 1 ese things will make you feel like Bowdoin has room for you. But Bow-doin has room for you no matter what.

Rest assured, you don’t need a guide.

Everyone 3 nds his or her own Bowdoin. You might 3 nd you study best at the big table in Mass Hall or that Mac is better than Quinby or that you have passion for gender and women’s studies when you thought you wanted to do chemistry. You will 3 nd friends.

When the Beyoncé song cycled out of the top 40 and the leaves crinkled and fell, we realized that we hadn’t had brunch with our friends since the toga party in September. 1 at there was another great run in Topsham that we’d never tried. 1 at we’d never been in Appleton or West because we spent so much time in Brunswick Apartments. We realized that we always missed the Indian food station in Moulton because they said 1 orne was better. 1 at we’d missed all kinds of things.

It hit us that we would have liked to join the hip-hop dance group but they thought that group was weird. We’d been so wor-ried about what the junior girls thought

of us that we hardly knew anyone in our 3 rst year seminar. We couldn’t do the econ problem set without their help. We realized that maybe we should have found our own Bowdoin before we found theirs.

Both of our 3 rst year relationships ended with the school year and we began sophomore year feeling a few steps be-hind. We caught up, but it wasn’t always pretty. Our romances as seasoned Bow-doin students have been more ful3 lling and equal. 1 ere’s a time for dating in col-lege, and we feel that the 3 rst year isn’t it.

Welcome to the place that has become our home. 1 e Indian food station in Moulton is delicious, the hip-hop show in the fall is amazing, and the quantitative tutors can help you with your econ prob-lem set. But don’t take our word for it, or anyone else’s. Go 3 nd your own Bowdoin.

Much love,Katherine and Julia

I always sneeze twice. My sneez-ing pattern is a goofy quirk of my body, a trait that I have lived with but never understood. But, for all of its mystery, double sneezing is completely harmless. At worst, I have to deal with tepid “bless yous” a2 er the second sneeze.

For many people, facts of their bod-ies are more than silly. My older sister has Down Syndrome, a genetic disorder caused by an additional chromosome. Her genes have shaped her subjective experiences in ways I can barely imagine. However, I do know how a developmen-tal disability prevents her from enjoying the same opportunities that I have. In the liberal arts, we like to talk about socially constructed di4 erences such as race, gen-der and sexuality. Although genetic con-ditions are deeply physical, these condi-tions are medicalized and classi3 ed, and the people who experience di4 erence are essentially deemed as others.

People with serious intellectual dis-abilities are so othered that they are near-ly unrepresented on elite college cam-puses. Bowdoin is getting better about studying privilege around race, gender and class. However, it’s easy to lose sight of the intellectual privilege that brought us here and allows us to thrive in an in-tense academic setting.

Intellectual privilege intersects with class and wealth to perpetuate inequal-

ity. I don’t come from a family that could ever a4 ord to pay full price for Bowdoin, but my academic merit got me into this wealthy institution that could supplement most of my tuition. Being at Bowdoin, I have access to resources that can further my intellectual and social development, which in turn increases my opportunities to earn money. Conversely, some people may experience mental and physical di4 erences, but they can achieve main-stream success with extra support that they deserve for their unique conditions. When you’re smarter, you get more mon-ey, and when you have more money, you can become smarter.

So really, what is the relationship be-tween intelligence and wealth? It can’t be a coincidence that the institutions with the best reputations, the “smartest” stu-dents, tend to have the greatest endow-ment. In politics, we hear demands to increase funding in schools, which will ostensibly increase the quality of educa-tion and the intelligence of the students. If you can buy smarter people, is intelli-gence any more than a function of pow-er? In America, there exists an illusion of meritocracy where we expect that indi-viduals who’ve earned massive wealth are especially intelligent. In addition, large corporations can control the distribution of valuable information while creating standardized tests that measure narrow ideas of intelligence.

Despite the correlation between wealth and intellect, masses of people can’t get their foot in the door of an institution with nearly as much capital as Bowdoin. My elementary school had a program

that incorporated students with manage-able intellectual disabilities into “regular” classes. While this model worked well with nine-year-olds, I doubt that the edu-cational model of Bowdoin or many oth-er institutions of higher education could sustain such radical integration. Bowdoin can institute a5 rmative action for gen-der, race and class, but perhaps there are some embodiments of di4 erence that will never 3 t this kind of environment. Is this a problem for Bowdoin? Maybe a college isn’t responsible for educating more than its select group of students. But, wealth is never innocent, and with Bowdoin’s im-mense endowment, we should be aware of how we’re hoarding money to further our own intellectual pursuits.

Maybe Bowdoin needs to devote its resources to ensuring that its own stu-dents are comfortable, healthy and smart. Perhaps Bowdoin’s education is turning us into valuable citizens who can use our resources to 3 ght for underrepresented minorities. Our academic expertise can allow us to work with organizations that “serve the needs of others.” However, de-spite the value and importance of charity, service work is intrinsically othering. We serve others because they are not in our situation. Can we work towards and in-vest in initiatives that liberate all people to pursue their social and intellectual goals? Could my sister with Down Syn-drome ever access the opportunities that I encounter every day? Maybe this is im-possible while selective institutions accu-mulate massive amounts of wealth. And maybe, with enough e4 ort and resources at Bowdoin, I’ll hit upon an answer.

Intellectual privilege, money and harmful exclusivity at elite institutions

Dear Bowdoin Faculty,We are writing today to ask for

your help in making Bowdoin a safe, welcoming campus for students of all genders. Although trans* celebrities show up more frequently on our tele-vision screens and Facebook feeds, realistic discussions of the needs of trans* and genderqueer people are usually relegated to queer groups and classes explicitly dedicated to gender. This creates a divided culture where-in many people who would benefit greatly from hearing trans* and gen-derqueer voices are not directly in-volved in these conversations. Even though most Bowdoin students and faculty pride themselves on being ac-cepting and welcoming, the majority of trans* and genderqueer students have, at times, felt uncomfortable, unwelcome, and even unsafe in class-rooms and around our campus. The most common problem reported by trans* and genderqueer students, es-pecially nonbinary students, is mis-gendering, or assuming a student’s gender in a way that does not match their true gender identity.

Misgendering often occurs inter-nally, when one assumes the gender of an individual based on the tradi-tional Western binary construction of gender. However, in recent years, a major shift in how our society views gender has occurred. The push for trans* and genderqueer rights and acceptance in both the queer com-munity and the broader population has helped more people to recognize that gender identity is not necessar-ily related to physiological sex, nor does it necessarily conform to the traditional Western binary of “man” and “woman.” The deconstruction of these concepts has normalized a vari-ety of new identities included under the umbrella term “trans*,” with the asterisk added to represent identities other than binary gender transitions.

These identities include, but are by no means limited to, transgender (identifying with a gender other than that assigned at birth, possibly the alternate binary gender), nonbinary (identifying as neither a man nor a woman), and genderqueer (identify-ing in any way that questions or de-constructs a binary view of gender). While misgendering may not seem to be an issue for many cisgender (non-transgender) people, misgendering a trans* person can trigger feelings of depression, anxiety, and self-hatred associated with gender dysphoria, and implies that the individual’s identity is not valid or respected. Misgendering can also place trans* and genderqueer students in a psy-chologically taxing position in which they must choose whether to remain silent, suffering the emotional con-sequences of being misgendered and appearing to accept the misapplied gender as “correct,” or to out them-selves and draw potentially unwanted attention to their gender identity by correcting the speaker.

The subconscious process of mis-gendering is exceedingly difficult to unpack and unlearn. However, misgendering is most harmful—and more easily avoided—when ex-pressed externally, most often by referring to an individual using pro-nouns, a name, or other gendered language that does not align with that person’s actual gender identity. Trans* and genderqueer students often experience this form of mis-gendering in class discussions. For example, a nonbinary student may be called upon to provide a “man’s perspective” despite being neither a man nor a woman. Such assumptions cause harm not only by implying the invalidation of the student’s identity, but also by reinforcing the existence of the gender binary and forcing the student into it.

While a true end to misgendering will take significant cultural work, faculty and staff can help by simply asking students themselves for their names and pronouns. This informa-tion can easily be included in normal introductions at the beginning of class. For example, a professor who usually asks students to say their names should instead ask for the name and gender pronouns of each student and, if the student so de-sires, correct any misgendering they witness. Professors may also choose to collect this information from stu-dents more privately by adding gen-der identity or pronoun fields to their student information sheets. Which-ever method professors prefer, it is also critical for them to normalize and model this practice by introduc-ing themselves with their gender pro-nouns (“My name is Professor Smith

and I use she/her/hers pronouns”). It can also be beneficial for professors to include their gender pronouns in email signatures and other forms of correspondence with students and other faculty.

Julianna Hauri ’18 (she/her/hers) and Kate Stern (she/her/hers), Direc-tor of the Resource Center for Gen-der and Sexual Diversity, are happy to provide more information and resources. Members of the faculty are also invited to attend Safe Zone

trainings, which include in-depth discussions of the needs of queer stu-dents.

We recognize that many of these ideas are new and that each of us comes to this discussion with a dif-ferent level of understanding, and we sincerely appreciate your openness to learning about the issues trans* and genderqueer students face at Bow-doin. It is vital that all of us work to-gether to make Bowdoin a safe space for students of all genders.

It’s okay to be confused about the Israeli and Palestinian Confl ictMy relationship with Israel is dis-

tinctly “it’s complicated.” I harbor a deep fondness for this tiny cartographic foot-note, which is in many ways a miracle in itself. Despite perpetual unpopularity and unbelievable geographic vulner-ability, this scrappy little strip of land bravely persists. It’s an amazing, beauti-ful landscape of innovation and com-munity. I just spent the best summer of my life in Tel Aviv, living and working in one of the most interesting, vibrant cities in the world. I formed strong re-lationships with Israelis, many of them active-duty soldiers, and was deeply moved by their pride in their compli-cated, improbable nation.

But as much as I love Israel, it’s also

the most frustrating place I’ve ever been. I’m frustrated that my adorable six-year-old cousin will need to know how to assemble an Uzi before she’s old enough to buy a pack of cigarettes. I’m frustrated that Israel’s government is complicit as illegal Jewish settlers in the West Bank make a two-state solution less and less viable by the day. I’m frus-trated that most of my Israeli friends have never studied Arabic or spent any meaningful length of time with a Pales-tinian. And most of all, I’m frustrated that my community is o1 en silent in the face of injustice, preferring to stick with a semi-stable status quo rather than to publicly critique di2 cult issues.

My confusion began two years ago on my 3 rst trip to the region. Against the advice of essentially every Israeli

adult I know, I resolved to visit the Pal-estinian territories. I was tired of being told that the con4 ict was “too compli-cated” and that I was “too young to un-derstand.” So I went. And that decision changed my metaphorical Facebook relationship status with Israel forever. For the 3 rst time, I talked to Pales-tinians about their experience on the other side of the wall. I was profoundly upset and confused. How did Israel, a place I cared about so deeply, take part in something so obviously mor-ally wrong? Why did security for one people come at the price of human rights for another? But how did I, as an American student living thousands of miles away from the physical con4 ict, have the right to tell Israelis and Pales-tinians how to live their lives?

I resolved to return to the region at a later date to get some closure. So I boarded El Al 4 ight 008 this June, con3 dent in my ability to kick ass, take names, and “understand Israel.” Ten weeks later, as my return 4 ight landed at JFK, I realized my folly. While I had indeed kicked ass and taken a name or two, I couldn’t be further from un-derstanding the place in which I had spent my summer.

No offense, but if you think you understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, you’re an idiot. It’s not an issue that ten weeks, ten years, or even a lifetime would fully allow you to appreciate.

But being confused about the con-4 ict doesn’t mean you’re paralyzed. It means you’re listening and synthesiz-

ing diverse, o1 en completely contra-dictory perspectives. It means you’re open and empathetic to the opinions of others, and that’s a great thing. And it means you’re not alone. Upon my re-turn to Bowdoin a1 er that initial trip to the region, I discovered a huge con-stituency of people just like me: activ-ists who realize the complexity of the issues, but want to make a change for peace. So I have a request for all the other confused do-gooders out there: get involved, because your opinion really matters. Ask hard questions of yourself and others, and be critical of the answers you might 3 nd. But never stop being a little confused.
