Te J-Board heard 15 cases from last year, as well as one additional case lef over from the 2012-2013 academic year. Of the 16 total cases, nine in-  volved allegatio ns of Academic H onor Code violations and seven involved allegati ons of Social Code violations. According to J-Board advisor and Assistant Dean of Student Aff airs Les- ley Levy, there have typically been 10 to 15 cases each year. However, last year’s number of cases marks an in- crease from the seven cases heard in 2012-2013. “I think [the number of cases] was higher than the year before, but rela- tively, it was [on par with previous years],” Dean of Students Aff airs Tim Foster said. “I certainly can remember years where the board was a good bit busier than it was this past year.” Te J-Board, which consists of fac- ulty members and students, is split into two bodies that handle diff erent types of cases. Te board that hears cases regarding the Academic Honor Code consists of three students and two faculty members. Te board that hears cases regarding the Social Code consists of  ve studen ts. Regardless of which code is allegedly  viola ted, the prof essor or commu nity member who believes that a code has been breached rst discusses the case Bowdoin welcomed 35 new faculty members this academic year, 11 of whom are in tenure-track positions.

He BY QUYEN HA STAFF WRITER Please see PROFS, page 3 Please see ENDOWMENT, page 4 Te College’s endowment gener- ated an investment return of 19.2 percent in scal year (FY) 2014, again earning Bowdoin a place in the top  ve percent of return s among peer colleges and universities, accord- ing to Cambridge Associates (a rm that tracks educational funds’ per- formances across the nation). Te endowment had a market value of $1.216 billion on June 30, up from $1.038 billion at the close of FY 2013. Te return, which is heavily depen- dent on the health of the economy, was three percentage points higher than it was last year. Te endowment’s strong perfor- mance earned Bowdoin the “Endow- ment of the Year” award from Insti- tutional Investor—a global nance magazine—in a category of nominees that included Williams, the University said he is looking forward to the bal- anced environment between teach- ing and conducting research. “I want to be at a school that val- ues both teaching and researching, where neither seems to be the exclu- sion of the other,” said Berzon. Te economics department re- ceived three tenure-track profes- sors this year, including Gonca Se- nel, who is teaching two sections of Principles of Macroeconomics this semester. Having earned her doctor- ate at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Senel said she is thrilled to be in a smaller liberal arts environment where she can de-  velop closer relationships with her students as well as colleagues across diff erent disciplines. “At UCLA, every department is a small, self-su cient island,” said Senel. “Te inter-departmental link that we have here is something re- ally special that cannot be found in bigger universities .” of Pennsylvania and the University of Richmond. U-Penn generated a re- turn of 17.5 percent in FY 2014, while Williams and Richmond have yet to release their returns. “Looking at year-to-year perfor- mance and winning [Endowment of the Year] is very exciting,” said Presi- dent Barry Mills. “But the real story is in the three-,  ve- and ten-year re- turns, because that tells you with some certainty what you can expect over a long period of time, which allows you to think about how you operate the College. So it’s incredibly impressive that we are year-in and year-out in that very highest category, but what’s even more impressive is that when the markets fall, we don’t lose as much as other people do. Tat is phenomenal.” Mills also stressed that excellent re- turns on the endowment do not reduce the need for strict nancial prudence 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014  s   r  a   l  l  o   D    f  o    B   i  l  l  i  o   n  s    n  i   e   u   l  a   V   t   n  e   m  w  o   d   n  E 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8  1.0  1.2  1.4 $673M $828M $831M $689M $753.5M $904.2M $902.4M $1.038B $1.216B Fiscal Year (Starts 6/30) GUITAR HERO Tree years afer the launch of Bowdoin’s Digital and Computational Studies Initiative (DCSI), the program has expanded this semester to of- fer  ve courses designed for students from all academic backgrounds.

463 participate in Common Good Day

Four hundred and eight Bow-doin students 20 prospective stu-

dents and 35 faculty staff alumniand family members participated inthe Collegersquos 16th annual CommonGood Day last Saturday

Participants worked on 50 com-munity service projects around mid-coast Maine including coastal clean-up trail work painting and indoorcleaning among others

Registration was smoother thisyear than in the past though thetrips 1047297lled up just as quickly as ever

ldquoGroups take up the majority of thespots and there are usually enoughspots for individualsrdquo said AndrewLardie associate director for serviceand leadership at the McKeen Centerfor the Common Good

For the past few years CommonGood Day and Explore Bowdoinmdashan overnight program for prospec-tive studentsmdashhave coincided andthis year 20 prospective students

Feedback from Common GoodDay participants has been largely

positive Eighty-six percent of par-ticipants found their experienceeither ldquovery positiverdquo or ldquopositiverdquo

Tory Rusch rsquo15 a member of thesoftball team worked on a projectat a local Brunswick retirementhome with her teammates Saturdaymarked Ruschrsquos third time partici-pating in Common Good Day

ldquoWe all get together have someteam bonding and help out thecommunity at the same timerdquosaid Rusch

The project entailed building abocce court and painting doors andwalls inside the retirement home

ldquo[It was especially rewarding] go-ing to the retirement home and get-ting to interact with the residentsthat actually live thererdquo said RuschldquoWersquod paint their doors and sit andchatmdashit was nice to get to see whoyou were helpingrdquo

Simon Close rsquo17 also spoke high-ly of his Common Good Day expe-rience Close and five fellow resi-dents of Quinby House went to the

Dehumidifier installed tocombat mold in Burnett

After battling mold growth inthe basement of Burnett House lastspring Facilities Management is

taking steps to ensure that the moldwill not return After sealing theroom and repainting the walls didnot stop the mold from regrowingFacilities is installing a dehumidi-fier system to keep moisture at bayTe commercial grade dehumidi-

1047297er arrived on campus September23 and will be installed before theend of the week according to As-sociate Director of Facilities Opera-tions Jeff Tuttle

Mold grows in moist conditionsand in addition to its bad smell it canbe hazardous to living conditions

ldquoSome people can have a reactionto moldrdquo Tuttle said ldquo[But] the issue[in Burnett] is very very minor andthe amount of mold in the basementis very minimalrdquo

When Facilities was informedof the issue several employees

went to Burnett House cleanedand sealed the area and paintedover the wall they thought was thesource of the moisture

Like Rusch Close said he foundhis Common Good Day project tobe rewarding

ldquoIrsquom really proud to be a Bow-doin student if this is somethingthat Bowdoin presents itself as do-ingrdquo he said

The McKeen Center hopes thatCommon Good Day will inspirestudents to make long-term ser-

vice commitments ldquoeither withthe same organization they workedwith on Common Good Day orsomething related or unrelatedrdquosaid Lardie

ldquoWhen we talk with studentswho are in some of our more spe-cific programs Alternative [Spring]Break for instance many of their

first experiences with communityservice were with Common GoodDay so we know that sometimes itis a gatewayrdquo he said

The religion department willrelocate from Ashby House toKanbar Hall this January Thehouse which was built in the1840s is no longer suited to holdlarge quanities of books and fileson its upper floors posing prob-lems for professors with officespace in the building

Dean for Academic Aff airs Chris-tle Collins Judd said there is ldquonostructural issue with the buildingrdquo

While Ashby has been deemedunsuitable for the needs of pro-fessors who currently have offic-es there it poses no real imme-diate threat to them Judd saidmany of the problems exist be-cause Ashby was originally builtas a residence hall

ldquoIt is a residential house and sostructurally having academic of-fices with many many bookcasesand many many files is just notwhat the building was built forrdquosaid Judd ldquoWe recognize that it isnot the best place to have lots andlots of bookcases and files on theupper floorsrdquo

Religion department to move to KanbarBY CHAMBLEE SHUFFLEBARGER

STAFF WRITER

Senior Vice President of Fi-nance and Administration KatyLongley said that the buildingmay require construction for lateruse Whether or not such changeswill be made will be decided bythe Board of Trustees on October16 and 17

board for approvalrdquoJudd and Longley were both

unable to comment on which pro-fessors in Kanbar will be requiredto move in order to make roomfor religion professors It is notyet clear where those moved fromKanbar will be relocated

After the religion departmentmoves out Ashbymdashwhether ren-ovated or notmdashwill likely houseadministrative offices

ldquoWe will use it for adminis-trative purposesmdashthat doesnrsquotrequire all of the books and fac-ultyrdquo said Judd ldquo[Ashby] wasbuilt as a house It was built asa home So it is fine for admi nis-trative purpos esrdquo

Members of the religion depart-ment declined to comment on themove However Judd said that shefeels certain the move will not have anegative impact on the department

ldquoObviously nobody likes to haveto pack up your books and movebut the College will take care ofthatrdquo said Judd ldquoThe departmentwill have a good location as theygo forward and access to good aca-demic resources So I think itrsquos apositive move for the departmentrdquo

anything that may be of harm tostudents is present we always re-spond very quickly and do whatis needed for the safety of the stu-dentsrdquo said Tuttle

Tuttle said he went to Burnett

last week and saw no further evi-dence of mold As a precautionthough Facilities decided to in-stall the dehumidifier and to pipeair into the space to keep moisturelevels to a minimum

Initially there were rumors thata boarded-up section of Burnettrsquosbasement was linked to the moldbut that is not the case

Facilities had blocked off a sectionof the basement for the safety of theresidents In the section behind theboards there is a mechanical areathat includes sprinkler systems andother tools that according to Tuttleare unsafe for students to access

Burnettrsquos laundry room is lo-cated right next to the boarded-uparea Facilities changed the en-trance to the laundry room and putup a wall to keep students out of

the mechanical arealdquoThe building of the boards torestrict mechanical supplies andthe minimal problem of the moldare completely different issuesrdquosaid Tuttle

The initiative is also attractivefor recruiting new faculty membersto Bowdoin

ldquoSome recent faculty members arecoming out of their graduate schoolshaving been immersed already indigitally and computationally richapproaches to their subjectrdquo saidDean for Academic Aff airs CristleCollins Judd Te initiative says to

them according to Judd that ldquoBow-doin will give you a platform whereyou can develop that not only inyour own research but as a part ofwhat you do in teachingrdquoTe College hired Gieseking dur-

ing the summer of 2013 as a part ofthe initiative Gieseking has a PhD inenvironmental psychology and hasworked on integrating technology intolesbian and queer studies in New YorkCity before coming to Bowdoin Shedescribed the College as unique in its

completely interdisciplinary approachto the integration of DCSI compo-nents According to Gieseking manyother schools have begun technologyintegration initiatives that focus pri-marily on the sciences while Bowdoinis seeking to incorporate DCSI in anyand all curricular disciplines

Bowdoin also hired Hall as a partof the initiative who has a PhD inItalian literature and previously useddigital strategies for the organizationof large quantities of text during herwork studying Galileorsquos library whileat the University of Kansas

Both are uniquely equipped to fa-cilitate the integration of DCSI prin-

ciples in diff erent 1047297elds at BowdoinTe College is presenting the ini-

tiative as an exciting and innovativenew curricular pursuit and PresidentBarry Mills has been keen to incor-porate the new initiative in his fund-raising eff orts Accordingly the pres-idential search committee includedinformation about the initiative ina document drafed for the futurepresident in a part of the section ti-tled ldquoTe Academic Core BowdoinrsquosOff errdquo Te document suggests thatBowdoin foresees ldquobig datardquo becom-ing as integral to the liberal arts aswriting or math

the Visual Arts Center (VAC) werealso a part of the initiative creatingnew spaces for DCSI classes Teserooms are stocked with laptops pre-loaded with the programs that may be

required for DCSI classes blu-ray andprojector capabilities and movabletables or desks that are designed to beparticularly conducive to group work

DCSI students have respondedpositively to the new classrooms

ldquoA lot of these digital humanitiesclasses are pretty collaborative so thespace itself facilitates that really eas-ilyrdquo Scarlett said

Scarlett who plans to double majorin English and government and legalstudies said she took the DCSI class inhopes of being exposed to a new wayto look at literature

Library and Information Technol-ogy staff are also available as resourcesfor professors interested in incorpo-rating DCSI components into theirclasses and professors are encouragedto work closely with Hall and Giesek-ing to establish and execute goals forincorporating such components

According to Hall the Collegeplans to off er DCSI courses in chem-istry government and legal studiesand other social science based de-partments in the coming years Po-laris will be updated in the comingyears so that students may speci1047297-cally search for DCSI courses

erage of the endowmentrsquos value Usingthe lagging average enables the College

to compensate for particularly roughyears such as 2009 when there was-1699 percent return on investmentAccording to a release published on theBowdoin Daily Sun at the close of FY2014 the endowmentrsquos three- 1047297 ve-and10-year annualized returns were 123percent 138 percent and 104 p ercentrespectively

Now that the weaker returns of the1047297nancial crisis have cycled out of the12-quarter lagging average fundingfrom the endowment for each yearrsquosoperating budget will likely increaseldquoover the next to two to 1047297 ve yearsrdquo ac-cording to Mills

strengthmdashthe result of impressiveperformances from the Collegersquos in-

vestment committeemdashis also pivotalfor minimizing increases in tuitionand fees each year Since the 2011-2012 academic year Bowdoinrsquos com-prehensive fee has increased annu-ally by just three p ercent a rate lowerthan those at most peer institutions

Te comprehensive fee for the 2014-2015 academic year is $59568 but

Mills emphasized that the actual costof educating a student for a year atBowdoin is actually closer to $80000Financial aid from the endowment isone of the key means of managingthat dis crepancy

ldquoTe 80 [thousand dollars] I thinkis going to increase Te question isgoing to be lsquoWhat are we going to dowith the 60rsquo Tatrsquos why the endow-ment is so important is to close thatgaprdquo said Mills ldquoI think what yoursquoregoing to see is that at colleges that have

very healthy endowments more andmore and more families in higher andhigher income brackets are going tobe supported because these collegesare just so expensivehellipbut yoursquove gotto balance your checkbookrdquoTe Bowdoin Daily Sun release

also reported $241 million in endow-ment gifs during FY 2014 Approxi-

mately 45 percent of the endowmentis restricted to 1047297nancial aid In his lastyear as president Mills is embarkingon a fundraising campaign dedicatedto 1047297nancial aid with a goal of around$100 million

ldquoI came to Bowdoin 14 years agowhen our endowment was less than400 million dollarsrdquo said Mills ldquoHav-ing an endowment the size that wehave today has clearly allowed us tosupport our students and families inways that we couldnrsquot in the past onthe 1047297nancial aid front Itrsquos allowed usto grow our academic program itrsquos al-lowed us to improve our facilityandso as Irsquove said ofen it isnrsquot about themoney But without the money itrsquos

Building a Minyan a look at Hillelrsquos Rosh HashanahBY VERA FENG

STAFF WRITER

As Rosh Hashanah approachesmany Jewish students realize how farthey are from their families but theyare able to celebrate the Jewish NewYear with a1047297gurative family here at theCollege On September 24 and 25 Hil-lel Bowdoinrsquos Jewish student organiza-

tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner

Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year

According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel

ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo

Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and

lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents

ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo

ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo

As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers

ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo

Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn

Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments

Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-

stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community

ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy

very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

BEHIND THE NAME TAGBY KELSEY SCARLETT

First years took year off forfashion farming and France

Not all students come to Bowdoinimmediately afer being admittedSome take time between high schooland collegemdashofen referred to as agap yearmdashto advance their educa-tion or gain experiences outside oftraditional schooling Tis is the1047297rst in a series of columns that willpro1047297le these students and their ex-periences between high school andarriving at Bowdoin

Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage

ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said

Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult

ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo

Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging

ldquoI just had to write my 1047297rst paper[at Bowdoin] recently and I was likelsquowait how do I go about thisrsquordquo saidLaurent ldquoIrsquove gotten used to de1047297ningevery single term and analyzing everysingle notion and organizing it morein the French wayrdquo

Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college

ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said

Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that

inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-

neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death

ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-

equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans

ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly

threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo

McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests

He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police

ldquoIt was an experience to see par-

ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said

According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that

they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position

ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo

Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid

Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was

Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said

McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo

Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for

the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was

Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan

Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener

The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity

and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty

Pinot Grigio itself is actually

an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio

varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape

Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a

bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the

kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that

this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert

reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should

just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now

Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and

very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red

When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle

On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo

As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle

As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet

Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo

ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet

Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the

more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press

During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used

Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While

in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began

Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art

Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth

took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces

Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom

The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god

ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-

maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War

ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann

ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann

Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect

ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-

stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann

The idea for the show came in

large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition

At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke

van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable

ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has

exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that

has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos

tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread

ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo

Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator

of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22

The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de

Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-

ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967

These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small

vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited

ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one

of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these

shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation

ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann

ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4

The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm

Associate Professor of Art Michael

Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing

America land of the privileged home of the petulant

This summer I spent a week in

Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra

My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke

During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his

vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball

Wivesrdquo Another time I walked

into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice

On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-

boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap

I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks

I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf

roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo

Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down

in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo

In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-

selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt

seems that in doing

away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine

I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of

Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it

My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo

Maybe this has somethingto do with it

scored his 1047297rst career goal off of arebound of a shot from Matt Dias-Costa rsquo17 Just two minutes later aNorrsquoeaster defender accidentally de-1047298ected a cross from Dias-Costa intohis own net giving the Polar Bearsan insurance goal that ended upsealing the game

The Polar Bears continued tooutplay the Norrsquoeasters through-out the second half Althoughthey could not put together an-other goal they still cruised to a2-0 victory

Last weekend the Polar Bearsdropped a crucial conferencegame to Middlebury 2-0 lower-ing their NESCAC record to 1-3Te Bowdoin loss also marked thefourth straight shutout victory forthe Panthers

The Polar Bears had manychances early on in the game butwere unable to capitalize on any ofthem In the 22nd minute the Pan-

thers took advantage of a cornerkick as Middleburyrsquos Tom Beanrsquosheader escaped Bowdoin keeperNoah Safian rsquo17Te Panthers added to their lead

only six minutes later when Middle-buryrsquos Adam Glaser chipped a ballover Sa1047297an for his league-leading

1047297fh goal of the seasonldquoTey had three shots and two

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

ening up defensivley to limit mis-takes under pressure and play a morecomplete game

ldquoWe are working on 1047297xing ourmistakes in practice so they donrsquothappen againrdquo said senior captainEric Goitia rsquo15 ldquoSo thatrsquos a positivecoming out of t hisrdquo

Last Saturday the field hockeyteam handed Middlebury its firstloss of the season in a tense 2-1match With the win the team de-fended its No 1 rank in the NES-CAC and its perfect record of 4-0

ldquoWe started off pretty 1047298atrdquo cap-tain Colleen Finnerty rsquo15 saidldquoTey scored and that kind of put usback on our heels for a little bit and Ithink we came out a bit scaredrdquo

The team regrouped makingchanges throughout the first halfldquoWe made a few more adjust-

The team fended off the Pan-thersrsquo offense for the remainderof the game holding them to onlysix shots and six penalty corners inthe rest of regulation GoalkeeperHannah Gartner rsquo15 stayed com-posed after the early goal to keepBowdoin in the game

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

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

But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld

ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

463 participate in Common Good Day

Four hundred and eight Bow-doin students 20 prospective stu-

dents and 35 faculty staff alumniand family members participated inthe Collegersquos 16th annual CommonGood Day last Saturday

Participants worked on 50 com-munity service projects around mid-coast Maine including coastal clean-up trail work painting and indoorcleaning among others

Registration was smoother thisyear than in the past though thetrips 1047297lled up just as quickly as ever

ldquoGroups take up the majority of thespots and there are usually enoughspots for individualsrdquo said AndrewLardie associate director for serviceand leadership at the McKeen Centerfor the Common Good

For the past few years CommonGood Day and Explore Bowdoinmdashan overnight program for prospec-tive studentsmdashhave coincided andthis year 20 prospective students

took part in the Bowdoin traditionldquo[Associate Dean of Admis-

sions] Claudia Marroquin hasbeen really good about informing

prospies about the project possi-bilities and then matching themuprdquo said Lardie

Feedback from Common GoodDay participants has been largely

positive Eighty-six percent of par-ticipants found their experienceeither ldquovery positiverdquo or ldquopositiverdquo

Tory Rusch rsquo15 a member of thesoftball team worked on a projectat a local Brunswick retirementhome with her teammates Saturdaymarked Ruschrsquos third time partici-pating in Common Good Day

ldquoWe all get together have someteam bonding and help out thecommunity at the same timerdquosaid Rusch

The project entailed building abocce court and painting doors andwalls inside the retirement home

ldquo[It was especially rewarding] go-ing to the retirement home and get-ting to interact with the residentsthat actually live thererdquo said RuschldquoWersquod paint their doors and sit andchatmdashit was nice to get to see whoyou were helpingrdquo

Simon Close rsquo17 also spoke high-ly of his Common Good Day expe-rience Close and five fellow resi-dents of Quinby House went to the

Dehumidifier installed tocombat mold in Burnett

After battling mold growth inthe basement of Burnett House lastspring Facilities Management is

taking steps to ensure that the moldwill not return After sealing theroom and repainting the walls didnot stop the mold from regrowingFacilities is installing a dehumidi-fier system to keep moisture at bayTe commercial grade dehumidi-

1047297er arrived on campus September23 and will be installed before theend of the week according to As-sociate Director of Facilities Opera-tions Jeff Tuttle

Mold grows in moist conditionsand in addition to its bad smell it canbe hazardous to living conditions

ldquoSome people can have a reactionto moldrdquo Tuttle said ldquo[But] the issue[in Burnett] is very very minor andthe amount of mold in the basementis very minimalrdquo

When Facilities was informedof the issue several employees

went to Burnett House cleanedand sealed the area and paintedover the wall they thought was thesource of the moisture

ldquoWhen [Facilities] is madeaware of areas where mold or

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

had done and it was a good work-out toordquo said Close ldquoIt was great tosee that we made a difference andhelped outrdquo

Like Rusch Close said he foundhis Common Good Day project tobe rewarding

ldquoIrsquom really proud to be a Bow-doin student if this is somethingthat Bowdoin presents itself as do-ingrdquo he said

The McKeen Center hopes thatCommon Good Day will inspirestudents to make long-term ser-

vice commitments ldquoeither withthe same organization they workedwith on Common Good Day orsomething related or unrelatedrdquosaid Lardie

ldquoWhen we talk with studentswho are in some of our more spe-cific programs Alternative [Spring]Break for instance many of their

first experiences with communityservice were with Common GoodDay so we know that sometimes itis a gatewayrdquo he said

The religion department willrelocate from Ashby House toKanbar Hall this January Thehouse which was built in the1840s is no longer suited to holdlarge quanities of books and fileson its upper floors posing prob-lems for professors with officespace in the building

Dean for Academic Aff airs Chris-tle Collins Judd said there is ldquonostructural issue with the buildingrdquo

While Ashby has been deemedunsuitable for the needs of pro-fessors who currently have offic-es there it poses no real imme-diate threat to them Judd saidmany of the problems exist be-cause Ashby was originally builtas a residence hall

ldquoIt is a residential house and sostructurally having academic of-fices with many many bookcasesand many many files is just notwhat the building was built forrdquosaid Judd ldquoWe recognize that it isnot the best place to have lots andlots of bookcases and files on theupper floorsrdquo

Religion department to move to KanbarBY CHAMBLEE SHUFFLEBARGER

STAFF WRITER

Senior Vice President of Fi-nance and Administration KatyLongley said that the buildingmay require construction for lateruse Whether or not such changeswill be made will be decided bythe Board of Trustees on October16 and 17

board for approvalrdquoJudd and Longley were both

unable to comment on which pro-fessors in Kanbar will be requiredto move in order to make roomfor religion professors It is notyet clear where those moved fromKanbar will be relocated

After the religion departmentmoves out Ashbymdashwhether ren-ovated or notmdashwill likely houseadministrative offices

ldquoWe will use it for adminis-trative purposesmdashthat doesnrsquotrequire all of the books and fac-ultyrdquo said Judd ldquo[Ashby] wasbuilt as a house It was built asa home So it is fine for admi nis-trative purpos esrdquo

Members of the religion depart-ment declined to comment on themove However Judd said that shefeels certain the move will not have anegative impact on the department

ldquoObviously nobody likes to haveto pack up your books and movebut the College will take care ofthatrdquo said Judd ldquoThe departmentwill have a good location as theygo forward and access to good aca-demic resources So I think itrsquos apositive move for the departmentrdquo

anything that may be of harm tostudents is present we always re-spond very quickly and do whatis needed for the safety of the stu-dentsrdquo said Tuttle

Tuttle said he went to Burnett

last week and saw no further evi-dence of mold As a precautionthough Facilities decided to in-stall the dehumidifier and to pipeair into the space to keep moisturelevels to a minimum

Initially there were rumors thata boarded-up section of Burnettrsquosbasement was linked to the moldbut that is not the case

Facilities had blocked off a sectionof the basement for the safety of theresidents In the section behind theboards there is a mechanical areathat includes sprinkler systems andother tools that according to Tuttleare unsafe for students to access

Burnettrsquos laundry room is lo-cated right next to the boarded-uparea Facilities changed the en-trance to the laundry room and putup a wall to keep students out of

the mechanical arealdquoThe building of the boards torestrict mechanical supplies andthe minimal problem of the moldare completely different issuesrdquosaid Tuttle

The initiative is also attractivefor recruiting new faculty membersto Bowdoin

ldquoSome recent faculty members arecoming out of their graduate schoolshaving been immersed already indigitally and computationally richapproaches to their subjectrdquo saidDean for Academic Aff airs CristleCollins Judd Te initiative says to

them according to Judd that ldquoBow-doin will give you a platform whereyou can develop that not only inyour own research but as a part ofwhat you do in teachingrdquoTe College hired Gieseking dur-

ing the summer of 2013 as a part ofthe initiative Gieseking has a PhD inenvironmental psychology and hasworked on integrating technology intolesbian and queer studies in New YorkCity before coming to Bowdoin Shedescribed the College as unique in its

completely interdisciplinary approachto the integration of DCSI compo-nents According to Gieseking manyother schools have begun technologyintegration initiatives that focus pri-marily on the sciences while Bowdoinis seeking to incorporate DCSI in anyand all curricular disciplines

Bowdoin also hired Hall as a partof the initiative who has a PhD inItalian literature and previously useddigital strategies for the organizationof large quantities of text during herwork studying Galileorsquos library whileat the University of Kansas

Both are uniquely equipped to fa-cilitate the integration of DCSI prin-

ciples in diff erent 1047297elds at BowdoinTe College is presenting the ini-

tiative as an exciting and innovativenew curricular pursuit and PresidentBarry Mills has been keen to incor-porate the new initiative in his fund-raising eff orts Accordingly the pres-idential search committee includedinformation about the initiative ina document drafed for the futurepresident in a part of the section ti-tled ldquoTe Academic Core BowdoinrsquosOff errdquo Te document suggests thatBowdoin foresees ldquobig datardquo becom-ing as integral to the liberal arts aswriting or math

Many students believe the DCSIcourses will teach skills applicable to

the job market According to Juddthe program was not conceived spe-ci1047297cally for the purpose of makingliberal arts more marketable to stu-dents concerned about the job mar-ket and value of college though shedid acknowledge that it is a positiveaspect of the initiativeTe initiative is coordinated by

age interdisciplinary collaborationRenovations to the third 1047298oor of

the Visual Arts Center (VAC) werealso a part of the initiative creatingnew spaces for DCSI classes Teserooms are stocked with laptops pre-loaded with the programs that may be

required for DCSI classes blu-ray andprojector capabilities and movabletables or desks that are designed to beparticularly conducive to group work

DCSI students have respondedpositively to the new classrooms

Kelsey Scarlett rsquo17 a student in theImagining Eighteenth-Century Lon-don through Literature course on thethird 1047298oor of the VAC said she 1047297ndsthe renovation very conducive to hercourse

ldquoA lot of these digital humanitiesclasses are pretty collaborative so thespace itself facilitates that really eas-ilyrdquo Scarlett said

Scarlett who plans to double majorin English and government and legalstudies said she took the DCSI class inhopes of being exposed to a new wayto look at literature

Library and Information Technol-ogy staff are also available as resourcesfor professors interested in incorpo-rating DCSI components into theirclasses and professors are encouragedto work closely with Hall and Giesek-ing to establish and execute goals forincorporating such components

According to Hall the Collegeplans to off er DCSI courses in chem-istry government and legal studiesand other social science based de-partments in the coming years Po-laris will be updated in the comingyears so that students may speci1047297-cally search for DCSI courses

erage of the endowmentrsquos value Usingthe lagging average enables the College

to compensate for particularly roughyears such as 2009 when there was-1699 percent return on investmentAccording to a release published on theBowdoin Daily Sun at the close of FY2014 the endowmentrsquos three- 1047297 ve-and10-year annualized returns were 123percent 138 percent and 104 p ercentrespectively

Now that the weaker returns of the1047297nancial crisis have cycled out of the12-quarter lagging average fundingfrom the endowment for each yearrsquosoperating budget will likely increaseldquoover the next to two to 1047297 ve yearsrdquo ac-cording to Mills

ldquoYou could use that money fordebt service if you needed a capitalprojectmdashI think some of our stu-dents might say that our upperclass

housing might need some improve-menthellip Terersquos additional academic

programing we could enhance sowe could spend the money on thatTere are plenty of places to spendthe money My hope would be the1047297rst place people would think is tounderstand what our 1047297nancial aidcommitment ought to be and con-tinue to grow itrdquo said Mills whohas made 1047297nancial aid a prioritythroughout his tenure at the CollegeTe endowmentrsquos continued

strengthmdashthe result of impressiveperformances from the Collegersquos in-

vestment committeemdashis also pivotalfor minimizing increases in tuitionand fees each year Since the 2011-2012 academic year Bowdoinrsquos com-prehensive fee has increased annu-ally by just three p ercent a rate lowerthan those at most peer institutions

Te comprehensive fee for the 2014-2015 academic year is $59568 but

Mills emphasized that the actual costof educating a student for a year atBowdoin is actually closer to $80000Financial aid from the endowment isone of the key means of managingthat dis crepancy

ldquoTe 80 [thousand dollars] I thinkis going to increase Te question isgoing to be lsquoWhat are we going to dowith the 60rsquo Tatrsquos why the endow-ment is so important is to close thatgaprdquo said Mills ldquoI think what yoursquoregoing to see is that at colleges that have

very healthy endowments more andmore and more families in higher andhigher income brackets are going tobe supported because these collegesare just so expensivehellipbut yoursquove gotto balance your checkbookrdquoTe Bowdoin Daily Sun release

also reported $241 million in endow-ment gifs during FY 2014 Approxi-

mately 45 percent of the endowmentis restricted to 1047297nancial aid In his lastyear as president Mills is embarkingon a fundraising campaign dedicatedto 1047297nancial aid with a goal of around$100 million

ldquoI came to Bowdoin 14 years agowhen our endowment was less than400 million dollarsrdquo said Mills ldquoHav-ing an endowment the size that wehave today has clearly allowed us tosupport our students and families inways that we couldnrsquot in the past onthe 1047297nancial aid front Itrsquos allowed usto grow our academic program itrsquos al-lowed us to improve our facilityandso as Irsquove said ofen it isnrsquot about themoney But without the money itrsquos

Building a Minyan a look at Hillelrsquos Rosh HashanahBY VERA FENG

STAFF WRITER

As Rosh Hashanah approachesmany Jewish students realize how farthey are from their families but theyare able to celebrate the Jewish NewYear with a1047297gurative family here at theCollege On September 24 and 25 Hil-lel Bowdoinrsquos Jewish student organiza-

tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner

Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year

According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel

ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo

Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and

lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents

ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo

ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo

As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers

ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo

Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn

Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments

Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-

stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community

ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy

very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

BEHIND THE NAME TAGBY KELSEY SCARLETT

First years took year off forfashion farming and France

Not all students come to Bowdoinimmediately afer being admittedSome take time between high schooland collegemdashofen referred to as agap yearmdashto advance their educa-tion or gain experiences outside oftraditional schooling Tis is the1047297rst in a series of columns that willpro1047297le these students and their ex-periences between high school andarriving at Bowdoin

Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage

ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said

Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult

ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo

Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging

ldquoI just had to write my 1047297rst paper[at Bowdoin] recently and I was likelsquowait how do I go about thisrsquordquo saidLaurent ldquoIrsquove gotten used to de1047297ningevery single term and analyzing everysingle notion and organizing it morein the French wayrdquo

Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college

ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said

Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that

inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-

neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death

ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-

equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans

ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly

threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo

McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests

He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police

ldquoIt was an experience to see par-

ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said

According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that

they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position

ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo

Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid

Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was

Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said

McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo

Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for

the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was

Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan

Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener

The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity

and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty

Pinot Grigio itself is actually

an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio

varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape

Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a

bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the

kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that

this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert

reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should

just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now

Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and

very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red

When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle

On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo

As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle

As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet

Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo

ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet

Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the

more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press

During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used

Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While

in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began

Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art

Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth

took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces

Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom

The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god

ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-

maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War

ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann

ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann

Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect

ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-

stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann

The idea for the show came in

large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition

At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke

van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable

ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has

exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that

has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos

tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread

ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo

Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator

of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22

The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de

Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-

ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967

These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small

vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited

ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one

of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these

shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation

ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann

ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4

The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm

Associate Professor of Art Michael

Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing

America land of the privileged home of the petulant

This summer I spent a week in

Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra

My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke

During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his

vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball

Wivesrdquo Another time I walked

into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice

On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-

boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap

I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks

I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf

roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo

Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down

in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo

In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-

selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt

seems that in doing

away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine

I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of

Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it

My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo

Maybe this has somethingto do with it

scored his 1047297rst career goal off of arebound of a shot from Matt Dias-Costa rsquo17 Just two minutes later aNorrsquoeaster defender accidentally de-1047298ected a cross from Dias-Costa intohis own net giving the Polar Bearsan insurance goal that ended upsealing the game

The Polar Bears continued tooutplay the Norrsquoeasters through-out the second half Althoughthey could not put together an-other goal they still cruised to a2-0 victory

Last weekend the Polar Bearsdropped a crucial conferencegame to Middlebury 2-0 lower-ing their NESCAC record to 1-3Te Bowdoin loss also marked thefourth straight shutout victory forthe Panthers

The Polar Bears had manychances early on in the game butwere unable to capitalize on any ofthem In the 22nd minute the Pan-

thers took advantage of a cornerkick as Middleburyrsquos Tom Beanrsquosheader escaped Bowdoin keeperNoah Safian rsquo17Te Panthers added to their lead

only six minutes later when Middle-buryrsquos Adam Glaser chipped a ballover Sa1047297an for his league-leading

1047297fh goal of the seasonldquoTey had three shots and two

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

ening up defensivley to limit mis-takes under pressure and play a morecomplete game

ldquoWe are working on 1047297xing ourmistakes in practice so they donrsquothappen againrdquo said senior captainEric Goitia rsquo15 ldquoSo thatrsquos a positivecoming out of t hisrdquo

Last Saturday the field hockeyteam handed Middlebury its firstloss of the season in a tense 2-1match With the win the team de-fended its No 1 rank in the NES-CAC and its perfect record of 4-0

ldquoWe started off pretty 1047298atrdquo cap-tain Colleen Finnerty rsquo15 saidldquoTey scored and that kind of put usback on our heels for a little bit and Ithink we came out a bit scaredrdquo

The team regrouped makingchanges throughout the first halfldquoWe made a few more adjust-

The team fended off the Pan-thersrsquo offense for the remainderof the game holding them to onlysix shots and six penalty corners inthe rest of regulation GoalkeeperHannah Gartner rsquo15 stayed com-posed after the early goal to keepBowdoin in the game

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

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

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

463 participate in Common Good Day

Four hundred and eight Bow-doin students 20 prospective stu-

dents and 35 faculty staff alumniand family members participated inthe Collegersquos 16th annual CommonGood Day last Saturday

Participants worked on 50 com-munity service projects around mid-coast Maine including coastal clean-up trail work painting and indoorcleaning among others

Registration was smoother thisyear than in the past though thetrips 1047297lled up just as quickly as ever

ldquoGroups take up the majority of thespots and there are usually enoughspots for individualsrdquo said AndrewLardie associate director for serviceand leadership at the McKeen Centerfor the Common Good

For the past few years CommonGood Day and Explore Bowdoinmdashan overnight program for prospec-tive studentsmdashhave coincided andthis year 20 prospective students

took part in the Bowdoin traditionldquo[Associate Dean of Admis-

sions] Claudia Marroquin hasbeen really good about informing

prospies about the project possi-bilities and then matching themuprdquo said Lardie

Feedback from Common GoodDay participants has been largely

positive Eighty-six percent of par-ticipants found their experienceeither ldquovery positiverdquo or ldquopositiverdquo

Tory Rusch rsquo15 a member of thesoftball team worked on a projectat a local Brunswick retirementhome with her teammates Saturdaymarked Ruschrsquos third time partici-pating in Common Good Day

ldquoWe all get together have someteam bonding and help out thecommunity at the same timerdquosaid Rusch

The project entailed building abocce court and painting doors andwalls inside the retirement home

ldquo[It was especially rewarding] go-ing to the retirement home and get-ting to interact with the residentsthat actually live thererdquo said RuschldquoWersquod paint their doors and sit andchatmdashit was nice to get to see whoyou were helpingrdquo

Simon Close rsquo17 also spoke high-ly of his Common Good Day expe-rience Close and five fellow resi-dents of Quinby House went to the

Dehumidifier installed tocombat mold in Burnett

After battling mold growth inthe basement of Burnett House lastspring Facilities Management is

taking steps to ensure that the moldwill not return After sealing theroom and repainting the walls didnot stop the mold from regrowingFacilities is installing a dehumidi-fier system to keep moisture at bayTe commercial grade dehumidi-

1047297er arrived on campus September23 and will be installed before theend of the week according to As-sociate Director of Facilities Opera-tions Jeff Tuttle

Mold grows in moist conditionsand in addition to its bad smell it canbe hazardous to living conditions

ldquoSome people can have a reactionto moldrdquo Tuttle said ldquo[But] the issue[in Burnett] is very very minor andthe amount of mold in the basementis very minimalrdquo

When Facilities was informedof the issue several employees

went to Burnett House cleanedand sealed the area and paintedover the wall they thought was thesource of the moisture

ldquoWhen [Facilities] is madeaware of areas where mold or

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

had done and it was a good work-out toordquo said Close ldquoIt was great tosee that we made a difference andhelped outrdquo

Like Rusch Close said he foundhis Common Good Day project tobe rewarding

ldquoIrsquom really proud to be a Bow-doin student if this is somethingthat Bowdoin presents itself as do-ingrdquo he said

The McKeen Center hopes thatCommon Good Day will inspirestudents to make long-term ser-

vice commitments ldquoeither withthe same organization they workedwith on Common Good Day orsomething related or unrelatedrdquosaid Lardie

ldquoWhen we talk with studentswho are in some of our more spe-cific programs Alternative [Spring]Break for instance many of their

first experiences with communityservice were with Common GoodDay so we know that sometimes itis a gatewayrdquo he said

The religion department willrelocate from Ashby House toKanbar Hall this January Thehouse which was built in the1840s is no longer suited to holdlarge quanities of books and fileson its upper floors posing prob-lems for professors with officespace in the building

Dean for Academic Aff airs Chris-tle Collins Judd said there is ldquonostructural issue with the buildingrdquo

While Ashby has been deemedunsuitable for the needs of pro-fessors who currently have offic-es there it poses no real imme-diate threat to them Judd saidmany of the problems exist be-cause Ashby was originally builtas a residence hall

ldquoIt is a residential house and sostructurally having academic of-fices with many many bookcasesand many many files is just notwhat the building was built forrdquosaid Judd ldquoWe recognize that it isnot the best place to have lots andlots of bookcases and files on theupper floorsrdquo

Religion department to move to KanbarBY CHAMBLEE SHUFFLEBARGER

STAFF WRITER

Senior Vice President of Fi-nance and Administration KatyLongley said that the buildingmay require construction for lateruse Whether or not such changeswill be made will be decided bythe Board of Trustees on October16 and 17

board for approvalrdquoJudd and Longley were both

unable to comment on which pro-fessors in Kanbar will be requiredto move in order to make roomfor religion professors It is notyet clear where those moved fromKanbar will be relocated

After the religion departmentmoves out Ashbymdashwhether ren-ovated or notmdashwill likely houseadministrative offices

ldquoWe will use it for adminis-trative purposesmdashthat doesnrsquotrequire all of the books and fac-ultyrdquo said Judd ldquo[Ashby] wasbuilt as a house It was built asa home So it is fine for admi nis-trative purpos esrdquo

Members of the religion depart-ment declined to comment on themove However Judd said that shefeels certain the move will not have anegative impact on the department

ldquoObviously nobody likes to haveto pack up your books and movebut the College will take care ofthatrdquo said Judd ldquoThe departmentwill have a good location as theygo forward and access to good aca-demic resources So I think itrsquos apositive move for the departmentrdquo

anything that may be of harm tostudents is present we always re-spond very quickly and do whatis needed for the safety of the stu-dentsrdquo said Tuttle

Tuttle said he went to Burnett

last week and saw no further evi-dence of mold As a precautionthough Facilities decided to in-stall the dehumidifier and to pipeair into the space to keep moisturelevels to a minimum

Initially there were rumors thata boarded-up section of Burnettrsquosbasement was linked to the moldbut that is not the case

Facilities had blocked off a sectionof the basement for the safety of theresidents In the section behind theboards there is a mechanical areathat includes sprinkler systems andother tools that according to Tuttleare unsafe for students to access

Burnettrsquos laundry room is lo-cated right next to the boarded-uparea Facilities changed the en-trance to the laundry room and putup a wall to keep students out of

the mechanical arealdquoThe building of the boards torestrict mechanical supplies andthe minimal problem of the moldare completely different issuesrdquosaid Tuttle

Bowdoin also hired Hall as a partof the initiative who has a PhD inItalian literature and previously useddigital strategies for the organizationof large quantities of text during herwork studying Galileorsquos library whileat the University of Kansas

Both are uniquely equipped to fa-cilitate the integration of DCSI prin-

ciples in diff erent 1047297elds at BowdoinTe College is presenting the ini-

tiative as an exciting and innovativenew curricular pursuit and PresidentBarry Mills has been keen to incor-porate the new initiative in his fund-raising eff orts Accordingly the pres-idential search committee includedinformation about the initiative ina document drafed for the futurepresident in a part of the section ti-tled ldquoTe Academic Core BowdoinrsquosOff errdquo Te document suggests thatBowdoin foresees ldquobig datardquo becom-ing as integral to the liberal arts aswriting or math

Many students believe the DCSIcourses will teach skills applicable to

the job market According to Juddthe program was not conceived spe-ci1047297cally for the purpose of makingliberal arts more marketable to stu-dents concerned about the job mar-ket and value of college though shedid acknowledge that it is a positiveaspect of the initiativeTe initiative is coordinated by

In addition to exposing studentsto digital and computational aspectsof scholarship one of the major goalsfor DCSI is to prompt questions abouthow these techniques can and shouldbe used in a classroom settingTe Digital Humanities course

age interdisciplinary collaborationRenovations to the third 1047298oor of

the Visual Arts Center (VAC) werealso a part of the initiative creatingnew spaces for DCSI classes Teserooms are stocked with laptops pre-loaded with the programs that may be

required for DCSI classes blu-ray andprojector capabilities and movabletables or desks that are designed to beparticularly conducive to group work

DCSI students have respondedpositively to the new classrooms

Kelsey Scarlett rsquo17 a student in theImagining Eighteenth-Century Lon-don through Literature course on thethird 1047298oor of the VAC said she 1047297ndsthe renovation very conducive to hercourse

ldquoA lot of these digital humanitiesclasses are pretty collaborative so thespace itself facilitates that really eas-ilyrdquo Scarlett said

Scarlett who plans to double majorin English and government and legalstudies said she took the DCSI class inhopes of being exposed to a new wayto look at literature

Library and Information Technol-ogy staff are also available as resourcesfor professors interested in incorpo-rating DCSI components into theirclasses and professors are encouragedto work closely with Hall and Giesek-ing to establish and execute goals forincorporating such components

According to Hall the Collegeplans to off er DCSI courses in chem-istry government and legal studiesand other social science based de-partments in the coming years Po-laris will be updated in the comingyears so that students may speci1047297-cally search for DCSI courses

erage of the endowmentrsquos value Usingthe lagging average enables the College

to compensate for particularly roughyears such as 2009 when there was-1699 percent return on investmentAccording to a release published on theBowdoin Daily Sun at the close of FY2014 the endowmentrsquos three- 1047297 ve-and10-year annualized returns were 123percent 138 percent and 104 p ercentrespectively

Now that the weaker returns of the1047297nancial crisis have cycled out of the12-quarter lagging average fundingfrom the endowment for each yearrsquosoperating budget will likely increaseldquoover the next to two to 1047297 ve yearsrdquo ac-cording to Mills

Te comprehensive fee for the 2014-2015 academic year is $59568 but

Mills emphasized that the actual costof educating a student for a year atBowdoin is actually closer to $80000Financial aid from the endowment isone of the key means of managingthat dis crepancy

ldquoTe 80 [thousand dollars] I thinkis going to increase Te question isgoing to be lsquoWhat are we going to dowith the 60rsquo Tatrsquos why the endow-ment is so important is to close thatgaprdquo said Mills ldquoI think what yoursquoregoing to see is that at colleges that have

Building a Minyan a look at Hillelrsquos Rosh HashanahBY VERA FENG

STAFF WRITER

As Rosh Hashanah approachesmany Jewish students realize how farthey are from their families but theyare able to celebrate the Jewish NewYear with a1047297gurative family here at theCollege On September 24 and 25 Hil-lel Bowdoinrsquos Jewish student organiza-

tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner

Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year

According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel

ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo

Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and

lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents

ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo

ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo

As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers

ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo

Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn

Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments

Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-

stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community

ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy

very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

BEHIND THE NAME TAGBY KELSEY SCARLETT

First years took year off forfashion farming and France

Not all students come to Bowdoinimmediately afer being admittedSome take time between high schooland collegemdashofen referred to as agap yearmdashto advance their educa-tion or gain experiences outside oftraditional schooling Tis is the1047297rst in a series of columns that willpro1047297le these students and their ex-periences between high school andarriving at Bowdoin

Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage

ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said

Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult

ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo

Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging

Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college

ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said

Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that

inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-

neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death

ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-

equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans

ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly

threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo

McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests

He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police

ldquoIt was an experience to see par-

ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said

According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that

they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position

ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo

Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid

Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was

Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said

McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo

Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for

the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was

Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan

Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener

The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity

and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

Flipflop a budget-conscious Pinot GrigioBY BRYCE ERVIN AND

CONTRIBUTORS

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty

Pinot Grigio itself is actually

an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio

varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape

Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a

bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the

kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that

this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert

reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should

just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now

Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and

very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle

On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo

As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle

As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet

Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo

ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet

Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the

more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press

During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used

Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While

in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began

Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art

Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth

took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces

Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom

The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god

ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-

maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War

ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann

ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann

Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect

ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-

stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann

The idea for the show came in

large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition

At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke

van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable

ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has

exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that

has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos

tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread

ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo

Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator

of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22

The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de

Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-

ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967

These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small

vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited

ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one

of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these

shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation

ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann

ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4

The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm

Associate Professor of Art Michael

Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster

Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing

ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

America land of the privileged home of the petulant

This summer I spent a week in

Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra

My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke

During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his

vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball

Wivesrdquo Another time I walked

into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice

On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-

boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap

I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks

I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf

roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo

Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down

in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo

In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-

selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt

seems that in doing

away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine

I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of

Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it

My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo

Maybe this has somethingto do with it

In Chambo Mindyrsquos themesong jingles I root around in the

ldquoNo family is safe when I sa-shayrdquo announced Mike Hadreasunder the moniker Perfume Ge-nius this summer with the re-lease of his brilliant scintillatingsingle ldquoQueenrdquo Hide your kidshide your wife hide your hard-cover copies of the NAS reportmdashbecause on his latest album ldquoTooBrightrdquo Hadreas emerges fromhis bedroom to prance saucilydown the catwalk

His previous efforts 2010rsquosintimate ldquoLearningrdquo and 2012rsquosintense ldquoPut Your Back N 2 Itrdquofelt cloistered and claustropho-bic but ldquoToo Brightrdquo shines witha defiant radiance In the past

voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a

building Now still haunted heoffers no apology

ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo

From this Majical Cloudz-like

moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds

very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo

Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage

On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart

Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo

The spooky spidery lurch of

ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote

The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance

The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo

At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases

all of Perfume Geniusrsquo strengthshis evocative lyrics impeccablearrangement and tight sequenc-ing Most of all it highlights justhow powerful of a singer Hadreasis his voice shimmering and glim-mering as much Joacutensi as AntonyldquoFoolrdquo is not only fluttery andprecise but also firm and prouda balance Hadreas maintains per-fectly throughout the album

scored his 1047297rst career goal off of arebound of a shot from Matt Dias-Costa rsquo17 Just two minutes later aNorrsquoeaster defender accidentally de-1047298ected a cross from Dias-Costa intohis own net giving the Polar Bearsan insurance goal that ended upsealing the game

The Polar Bears continued tooutplay the Norrsquoeasters through-out the second half Althoughthey could not put together an-other goal they still cruised to a2-0 victory

Last weekend the Polar Bearsdropped a crucial conferencegame to Middlebury 2-0 lower-ing their NESCAC record to 1-3Te Bowdoin loss also marked thefourth straight shutout victory forthe Panthers

The Polar Bears had manychances early on in the game butwere unable to capitalize on any ofthem In the 22nd minute the Pan-

thers took advantage of a cornerkick as Middleburyrsquos Tom Beanrsquosheader escaped Bowdoin keeperNoah Safian rsquo17Te Panthers added to their lead

only six minutes later when Middle-buryrsquos Adam Glaser chipped a ballover Sa1047297an for his league-leading

1047297fh goal of the seasonldquoTey had three shots and two

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

ening up defensivley to limit mis-takes under pressure and play a morecomplete game

ldquoWe are working on 1047297xing ourmistakes in practice so they donrsquothappen againrdquo said senior captainEric Goitia rsquo15 ldquoSo thatrsquos a positivecoming out of t hisrdquo

Bowdoin had numerous chancesdown the stretch and outshot Mid-dlebury 9-3 for the game but the Po-

lar Bears could not capitalize on anyof their chances

Last Saturday the field hockeyteam handed Middlebury its firstloss of the season in a tense 2-1match With the win the team de-fended its No 1 rank in the NES-CAC and its perfect record of 4-0

This win was hardfought for thePolar Bears The Panthers scoredwithin the first five minutes set-ting a tone for the first half

ldquoWe started off pretty 1047298atrdquo cap-tain Colleen Finnerty rsquo15 saidldquoTey scored and that kind of put usback on our heels for a little bit and Ithink we came out a bit scaredrdquo

The team regrouped makingchanges throughout the first halfldquoWe made a few more adjust-

The team fended off the Pan-thersrsquo offense for the remainderof the game holding them to onlysix shots and six penalty corners inthe rest of regulation GoalkeeperHannah Gartner rsquo15 stayed com-posed after the early goal to keepBowdoin in the game

With just three minutes left onthe clock and still down by onegoal it looked as if the Pantherswere going to make the Polar Bearsrelive their defeat in last yearrsquosNESCAC championship game inwhich Bowdoin fell to Middleburyby a single goal

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

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

English Major Callie Fergusonrsquo15 who is taking Assistant Profes-sor of English Ann Kibbiersquos ldquoImag-ining Eighteenth-Century Londonthrough Literaturerdquo course feelsthat DCSI can greatly benefit hu-manities curricula

ldquoTerersquos a lot of pote ntial for [DCSI]to actually enrich our discussionrdquo Fer-guson said ldquoBut since none of us areused to actually using it I think weare going to have to try to discover thebest way for it to 1047297gure into the workthat we are doingrdquoTe 1047297rst DCSI course off ered at

Bowdoin was Gateway to the DigitalHumanities co-taught last fall by Pro-gram Director of Art History and Pro-fessor in the Art Department PamelaFletcher and professor Eric Chownin the computer science departmentLast spring another two DCSI cours-

es were off ered Data Driven Societytaught by Director of the QuantitativeReasoning Program Eric Gaze andGieseking and Te Rhetoric of BigData taught by Hall

The initiative is also attractivefor recruiting new faculty membersto Bowdoin

ldquoSome recent faculty members arecoming out of their graduate schoolshaving been immersed already indigitally and computationally richapproaches to their subjectrdquo saidDean for Academic Aff airs CristleCollins Judd Te initiative says to

them according to Judd that ldquoBow-doin will give you a platform whereyou can develop that not only inyour own research but as a part ofwhat you do in teachingrdquoTe College hired Gieseking dur-

ing the summer of 2013 as a part ofthe initiative Gieseking has a PhD inenvironmental psychology and hasworked on integrating technology intolesbian and queer studies in New YorkCity before coming to Bowdoin Shedescribed the College as unique in its

completely interdisciplinary approachto the integration of DCSI compo-nents According to Gieseking manyother schools have begun technologyintegration initiatives that focus pri-marily on the sciences while Bowdoinis seeking to incorporate DCSI in anyand all curricular disciplines

Bowdoin also hired Hall as a partof the initiative who has a PhD inItalian literature and previously useddigital strategies for the organizationof large quantities of text during herwork studying Galileorsquos library whileat the University of Kansas

Both are uniquely equipped to fa-cilitate the integration of DCSI prin-

ciples in diff erent 1047297elds at BowdoinTe College is presenting the ini-

tiative as an exciting and innovativenew curricular pursuit and PresidentBarry Mills has been keen to incor-porate the new initiative in his fund-raising eff orts Accordingly the pres-idential search committee includedinformation about the initiative ina document drafed for the futurepresident in a part of the section ti-tled ldquoTe Academic Core BowdoinrsquosOff errdquo Te document suggests thatBowdoin foresees ldquobig datardquo becom-ing as integral to the liberal arts aswriting or math

Many students believe the DCSIcourses will teach skills applicable to

the job market According to Juddthe program was not conceived spe-ci1047297cally for the purpose of makingliberal arts more marketable to stu-dents concerned about the job mar-ket and value of college though shedid acknowledge that it is a positiveaspect of the initiativeTe initiative is coordinated by

a steering committee comprised offaculty members responsible fordetermining the progression of thedepartment Te committee focuseson program development facultyoutreach and curricular implementa-tion for the initiativemdashincluding theteaching of DCSI courses Gieseking

Hall Fletcher Gaze and Zeeman allsit on the committee and Zeemanand Fletcher serve as co-directors ofthe initiative

In addition to exposing studentsto digital and computational aspectsof scholarship one of the major goalsfor DCSI is to prompt questions abouthow these techniques can and shouldbe used in a classroom settingTe Digital Humanities course

cluster of the initiative focuses ontechnological integration in classesthat have traditionally focused on thehumanities Te Digital Humanitiescourse cluster is partially funded bythe Mellon Humanities Initiativemdashathree year grant designed to encour-

age interdisciplinary collaborationRenovations to the third 1047298oor of

the Visual Arts Center (VAC) werealso a part of the initiative creatingnew spaces for DCSI classes Teserooms are stocked with laptops pre-loaded with the programs that may be

required for DCSI classes blu-ray andprojector capabilities and movabletables or desks that are designed to beparticularly conducive to group work

DCSI students have respondedpositively to the new classrooms

Kelsey Scarlett rsquo17 a student in theImagining Eighteenth-Century Lon-don through Literature course on thethird 1047298oor of the VAC said she 1047297ndsthe renovation very conducive to hercourse

ldquoA lot of these digital humanitiesclasses are pretty collaborative so thespace itself facilitates that really eas-ilyrdquo Scarlett said

Scarlett who plans to double majorin English and government and legalstudies said she took the DCSI class inhopes of being exposed to a new wayto look at literature

Library and Information Technol-ogy staff are also available as resourcesfor professors interested in incorpo-rating DCSI components into theirclasses and professors are encouragedto work closely with Hall and Giesek-ing to establish and execute goals forincorporating such components

According to Hall the Collegeplans to off er DCSI courses in chem-istry government and legal studiesand other social science based de-partments in the coming years Po-laris will be updated in the comingyears so that students may speci1047297-cally search for DCSI courses

erage of the endowmentrsquos value Usingthe lagging average enables the College

to compensate for particularly roughyears such as 2009 when there was-1699 percent return on investmentAccording to a release published on theBowdoin Daily Sun at the close of FY2014 the endowmentrsquos three- 1047297 ve-and10-year annualized returns were 123percent 138 percent and 104 p ercentrespectively

Now that the weaker returns of the1047297nancial crisis have cycled out of the12-quarter lagging average fundingfrom the endowment for each yearrsquosoperating budget will likely increaseldquoover the next to two to 1047297 ve yearsrdquo ac-cording to Mills

ldquoYou could use that money fordebt service if you needed a capitalprojectmdashI think some of our stu-dents might say that our upperclass

housing might need some improve-menthellip Terersquos additional academic

programing we could enhance sowe could spend the money on thatTere are plenty of places to spendthe money My hope would be the1047297rst place people would think is tounderstand what our 1047297nancial aidcommitment ought to be and con-tinue to grow itrdquo said Mills whohas made 1047297nancial aid a prioritythroughout his tenure at the CollegeTe endowmentrsquos continued

strengthmdashthe result of impressiveperformances from the Collegersquos in-

vestment committeemdashis also pivotalfor minimizing increases in tuitionand fees each year Since the 2011-2012 academic year Bowdoinrsquos com-prehensive fee has increased annu-ally by just three p ercent a rate lowerthan those at most peer institutions

Te comprehensive fee for the 2014-2015 academic year is $59568 but

Mills emphasized that the actual costof educating a student for a year atBowdoin is actually closer to $80000Financial aid from the endowment isone of the key means of managingthat dis crepancy

ldquoTe 80 [thousand dollars] I thinkis going to increase Te question isgoing to be lsquoWhat are we going to dowith the 60rsquo Tatrsquos why the endow-ment is so important is to close thatgaprdquo said Mills ldquoI think what yoursquoregoing to see is that at colleges that have

very healthy endowments more andmore and more families in higher andhigher income brackets are going tobe supported because these collegesare just so expensivehellipbut yoursquove gotto balance your checkbookrdquoTe Bowdoin Daily Sun release

also reported $241 million in endow-ment gifs during FY 2014 Approxi-

mately 45 percent of the endowmentis restricted to 1047297nancial aid In his lastyear as president Mills is embarkingon a fundraising campaign dedicatedto 1047297nancial aid with a goal of around$100 million

ldquoI came to Bowdoin 14 years agowhen our endowment was less than400 million dollarsrdquo said Mills ldquoHav-ing an endowment the size that wehave today has clearly allowed us tosupport our students and families inways that we couldnrsquot in the past onthe 1047297nancial aid front Itrsquos allowed usto grow our academic program itrsquos al-lowed us to improve our facilityandso as Irsquove said ofen it isnrsquot about themoney But without the money itrsquos

with the Offi ce of the Dean of StudentAff airs If that person chooses to bringthe case before the board the boardmembers must decide whether the stu-dent is responsible for a violation If theboard decides that a student has violat-ed one of the codes its decision is1047297nal

Typically the board looks at pastcases in order to decide whether an in-

fraction has occurredldquoWe acknowledge that each case is

unique and there are speci1047297c detailsthat change the nature of each casebut we really do rely heavily on prec-edent and try to stay consistent withour sanctions over timerdquo said J-BoardChair Jacques Larochelle rsquo15

If the board decides that a student isguilty of a violation it will then discussconsequences and sanctions Tesesanctions are recommended to Fosteror his designee who can either approveor change them

Foster said he hopes that studentsread the report and understand howmuch time and eff ort is put into the J-Boardrsquos decision making

ldquoI hope that the report provides a lev-el of transparency while still protectingthe anonymity of those students whowere involvedrdquo said Foster ldquoItrsquos impor-

tant that their con1047297dentiality is main-tained but that we share information sothat members of our communitymdashstu-dents and faculty and staff mdashunderstandthe standards that we hold as a commu-nity and how those are upheldrdquoTe J-Board publishes its annual

reports with the hope that familiaritywith the information contained in thedocument will lead to a decrease inthe number of cases it hears each year

ldquo[The purpose is] to educate andincrease awareness of our com-

munity standardsrdquo Levy said ldquoItrsquosreally important for students toknow what the standards are andwhat the ramifications are for vio-lating the s tandardsrdquo

The J-Board meets with first-year floors during Orientation todiscuss the Academic Honor Codeand the Social Code and to famil-iarize first years with the standardsset by the College

Larochelle believes that it is equallyimportant for upperclassmen to rereadthe codes each year

ldquoTake time to actually read throughthe code at the beginning of the year toremind yourself of all the componentsof it so you have a complete under-standing of what it entails and how tofollow it properlyrdquo he said

tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner

Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year

According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel

ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo

Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and

lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents

ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo

ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo

As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers

ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo

Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn

Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments

Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-

stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community

ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy

very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

BEHIND THE NAME TAGBY KELSEY SCARLETT

First years took year off forfashion farming and France

Not all students come to Bowdoinimmediately afer being admittedSome take time between high schooland collegemdashofen referred to as agap yearmdashto advance their educa-tion or gain experiences outside oftraditional schooling Tis is the1047297rst in a series of columns that willpro1047297le these students and their ex-periences between high school andarriving at Bowdoin

Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage

ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said

Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult

ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo

Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging

ldquoI just had to write my 1047297rst paper[at Bowdoin] recently and I was likelsquowait how do I go about thisrsquordquo saidLaurent ldquoIrsquove gotten used to de1047297ningevery single term and analyzing everysingle notion and organizing it morein the French wayrdquo

Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college

ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said

Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

Just afer midnight on August 16DeRay McKesson rsquo07 was at home inMinneapolis watching TV coverage ofthe protests in Ferguson Mo when hedecided he needed to be part of themMcKesson rented a car the next morn-ing and made the nine-hour trip to Fer-guson He planned on protesting for twodays but ended up taking a full week off from work and staying for nine daysTe protests began on August 9

when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that

inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-

neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death

ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-

equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans

ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly

threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo

McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests

He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police

ldquoIt was an experience to see par-

ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said

According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that

they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position

ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo

Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid

Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was

Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said

McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo

Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for

the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was

Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan

Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener

The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity

and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty

Pinot Grigio itself is actually

an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio

varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape

Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a

bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the

kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that

this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert

reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should

just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now

Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and

very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red

When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle

On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo

As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle

As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet

Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo

ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet

Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the

more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press

During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used

Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While

in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began

Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art

Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth

took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces

Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom

The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god

ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-

maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War

ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann

ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann

Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect

ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-

stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann

The idea for the show came in

large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition

At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke

van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable

ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has

exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that

has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos

tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread

ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo

Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator

of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT

America land of the privileged home of the petulant

This summer I spent a week in

Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra

My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke

During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his

vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball

Wivesrdquo Another time I walked

into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice

On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-

boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap

I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks

I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf

roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo

Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down

in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo

In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-

selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt

seems that in doing

away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine

I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of

Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it

My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo

Maybe this has somethingto do with it

In Chambo Mindyrsquos themesong jingles I root around in the

From this Majical Cloudz-like

The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo

ldquoBut shersquos a nuisancerdquo Hofstet-ter continued ldquoShe has reallyquick bursts of speed and shersquosreally good at getting a touch onthe ball It happens really easilysometimesrdquo

Turner said she takes a bitof solace in knowing that herpresence opens the field up for

her new partner Amanda Kin-neston rsquo15 who has absorbedmost of the time Hofstetter hadseen as the other forward overthe last two years Hofstetterhas moved to playing centermidfield but in certain forma-tions still plays forward withKinneston and Turner or inplace of KinnestonTis helps both players stay

rested by not having to play in thecenter mid1047297eld position for thefull 90 minutes While Kinnestonlabels herself as more of a goal-scorermdashher stats are identical toTurnerrsquos so far this seasonmdashshebears more similarities to Hof-stetter than Turner Both haveexcellent technical skills work asfacilitators and are ofen praised

for their skillholding the ball

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing

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

So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

the NESCAC championship gameand it was just back and forth againrdquo

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

ldquoItrsquos a new yearrdquo Pearson saidldquoWe try not to use losses as ourwhole motivation and try to focuson what the strengths are of theteam this yearrdquo

But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld

ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said

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

Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game

The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday

ldquoIn practice our big emphasisis on being better in our nextgame than the previous onerdquo

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

Building a Minyan a look at Hillelrsquos Rosh HashanahBY VERA FENG

STAFF WRITER

As Rosh Hashanah approachesmany Jewish students realize how farthey are from their families but theyare able to celebrate the Jewish NewYear with a1047297gurative family here at theCollege On September 24 and 25 Hil-lel Bowdoinrsquos Jewish student organiza-

tion hosted its annual Rosh Hashanahservice and dinner

Over 60 students of diff erent faithsparticipated in Hillelrsquos Rosh Hashanahevents last year A comparable num-ber of students attended the serviceand dinner this year

According to Leah Kahn rsquo15 thepresident of Hillel around 10 percentof the Bowdoin student body identi-1047297es as Jewish About 160 students areinvolved in Hillel

ldquoWe really work to get the Jewishcommunity on campusrdquo said KahnldquoItrsquos the 1047297rst time for many peopleto be away from family And theseholidays are really family-centric Wewant to make it accessible for stu-dents to experience their High Holi-day services in a similar way to howthey did at homerdquo

Rosh Hashanah starts at sunset and

lasts two days Hillel observes it withservices a dinner and a luncheon forstudents faculty and local residents

ldquoWe have special foods that aretraditional for the Rosh Hashanahmealrdquo said Rachel Connelly aneconomics professor ldquoThere areapples and honey pomegranatesand traditional breadrdquo

ldquoBowdoin does a pretty good jobrdquosaid Jared Feldman rsquo16 who identi1047297esas Jewish and spent the holiday withhis family before coming to BowdoinldquoPeople all come out for this eventTis is the closest I can get to a familyrdquo

As the only Jewish communityin Brunswick Hillel frequentlyhosts Shabbat services on Fridaynights It also sponsors High Holi-days celebrations and lectures bydistinguished speakers

ldquoOne thing I think is great aboutthe Jewish community at Bow-doin and Hillel as an organizationis that people who are Jewish andwho are non-Jewish are coming to-getherrdquo sai d Emily Weinberger rsquo15ldquoSo itrsquos a nice way to share culturesand traditionsrdquo

Many faculty members andadministrators attend Rosh Ha-shanah services and other eventshosted by Hillel including Presi-dent Barry Mills math profes-sor Jennifer Taback in the math-ematics department and Marilyn

Reizbaum a professor in boththe English and gay and lesbianstudies departments

Though this is Hillelrsquos first majorservice and dinner of the year thegroup already celebrated a big mile-

stone earlier in September whena second Torah was dedicated toBowdoinrsquos Jewish community

ldquoIt is a big year for BowdoinHillelrdquo said Kahn ldquoThe Torah isa holy handwritten manuscript ofthe Bible in Hebrew It is very holy

very s acred We are not e ven a sy n-agogue Now we have two TorahsItrsquos special because we can haveone [open to] the end [of the text]and one starting from the begin-ning Within the Jewish commu-nity itrsquos something we boast howmany Torahs do you haverdquo

BEHIND THE NAME TAGBY KELSEY SCARLETT

First years took year off forfashion farming and France

Not all students come to Bowdoinimmediately afer being admittedSome take time between high schooland collegemdashofen referred to as agap yearmdashto advance their educa-tion or gain experiences outside oftraditional schooling Tis is the1047297rst in a series of columns that willpro1047297le these students and their ex-periences between high school andarriving at Bowdoin

Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage

ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said

Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult

ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo

Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging

ldquoI just had to write my 1047297rst paper[at Bowdoin] recently and I was likelsquowait how do I go about thisrsquordquo saidLaurent ldquoIrsquove gotten used to de1047297ningevery single term and analyzing everysingle notion and organizing it morein the French wayrdquo

Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college

ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said

Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that

inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-

neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death

ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-

equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans

ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly

threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo

McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests

He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police

ldquoIt was an experience to see par-

ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said

According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that

they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position

ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo

Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid

Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was

Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said

McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo

Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for

the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was

Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan

Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener

The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity

and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty

Pinot Grigio itself is actually

an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio

varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape

Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a

bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the

kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that

this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert

reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should

just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now

Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and

very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red

When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet

Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo

ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet

Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the

more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press

During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used

Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While

in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began

Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art

Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth

took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces

Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom

The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god

ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-

maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War

ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann

ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann

Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect

ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-

stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann

The idea for the show came in

large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition

At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke

van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable

ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has

exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that

has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos

tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread

ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo

Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator

of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22

The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de

Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-

ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967

These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small

vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited

ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one

of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these

shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation

ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann

ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4

The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm

Garreth Helm rsquo18 a student inPrintmaking I said the lecture wasinteresting and thought-provokingand noted how much work goesinto printmaking

Associate Professor of Art Michael

Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster

Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing

ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT

America land of the privileged home of the petulant

This summer I spent a week in

Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra

My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke

During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his

vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball

Wivesrdquo Another time I walked

into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice

On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-

boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap

I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks

I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf

roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo

Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down

in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo

In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-

selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt

seems that in doing

away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine

I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of

Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it

My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo

Maybe this has somethingto do with it

voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a

building Now still haunted heoffers no apology

ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo

From this Majical Cloudz-like

moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds

Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo

The spooky spidery lurch of

ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote

The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance

The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo

At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases

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

ldquoBut shersquos a nuisancerdquo Hofstet-ter continued ldquoShe has reallyquick bursts of speed and shersquosreally good at getting a touch onthe ball It happens really easilysometimesrdquo

Turner said she takes a bitof solace in knowing that herpresence opens the field up for

her new partner Amanda Kin-neston rsquo15 who has absorbedmost of the time Hofstetter hadseen as the other forward overthe last two years Hofstetterhas moved to playing centermidfield but in certain forma-tions still plays forward withKinneston and Turner or inplace of KinnestonTis helps both players stay

rested by not having to play in thecenter mid1047297eld position for thefull 90 minutes While Kinnestonlabels herself as more of a goal-scorermdashher stats are identical toTurnerrsquos so far this seasonmdashshebears more similarities to Hof-stetter than Turner Both haveexcellent technical skills work asfacilitators and are ofen praised

for their skillholding the ball

ldquoI thinkwersquore similarly-minded play-ersrdquo Kinnestonsaid ldquoWe liketo have the balland play fromour feet Kier-sten is good atrunning to the

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing

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

So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld

ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said

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

Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game

The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday

ldquo[We] always try to 1047297nd somethingthat will do a little bit better than [what]they ask forrdquo said Stevens

Born in Massachusetts and raised

in Woolwich Maine King grew uploving mechanicsldquoIrsquove always had kind of an inter-

est in this sort of thingrdquo said KingldquoMy father was a physicist and was a

very hands-on kind of guy He was atMIT and I used to go hang out at hislab and thatrsquos where I started makingstuff I enjoyed the workrdquo

Stevens held a number of diff erent jobs before coming to Bowdoin

Afer graduating from SouthernMaine Vocational Technical Instituteinto 1972 he was drafed into the NavyAfer his tour of duty he worked at BathIron Works for six months before beinglaid off and from there he went to thePejepscot Paper Mill as a mechanic

When he heard about an opportunityat Bowdoin he applied and got the job

ldquoIt was the right place for me becauseI like the idea of being able to develop

designs of my own making and thisplace allows me to do thatrdquo said StevensStevens has been working at Bowdoin

since 1978 and currently lives in Harp-swell Maine

Stevens and King take their jobs veryseriously Every project must be thoughtout precisely so that Bowdoin is not heldliable ldquoIf somebody comes in here I haveto be carefulrdquo said Stevens ldquoWith the re-

BEHIND THE NAME TAGBY KELSEY SCARLETT

First years took year off forfashion farming and France

Not all students come to Bowdoinimmediately afer being admittedSome take time between high schooland collegemdashofen referred to as agap yearmdashto advance their educa-tion or gain experiences outside oftraditional schooling Tis is the1047297rst in a series of columns that willpro1047297le these students and their ex-periences between high school andarriving at Bowdoin

Half French and half Chinese-American Alessandra Laurent movedto Taiwan afer living in Los Angelesduring middle school Having livedand studied in both the United Statesand Taiwan Laurent decided to spendher gap year experiencing life inFrance and connecting to that part ofher familyrsquos heritage

ldquoTe idea was to live in that contextfor a year and understand that part ofmy identityrdquo Laurent said

Laurent chose to study in a pre-col-lege prep program with other second-ary school graduates studying to passexams allowing them entrance intoFrancersquos top universities While shewas 1047298uent in French prior to study-ing in Paris Laurent found the tasks ofwriting analytical papers and readingliterature in French diffi cult

ldquoThe whole educational philoso-phy was really different and foreignto merdquo said Laurent ldquoIn writing es-says the whole format of the wayyou construct an argument is dif-ferentmdashthe way they think aboutarguing anything is differentrdquo

Afer assimilating to the Frencheducational system Laurent has foundthe transition back to American aca-demics challenging

ldquoI just had to write my 1047297rst paper[at Bowdoin] recently and I was likelsquowait how do I go about thisrsquordquo saidLaurent ldquoIrsquove gotten used to de1047297ningevery single term and analyzing everysingle notion and organizing it morein the French wayrdquo

Elena Mersereau rsquo18 also took a gapyear but unlike Laurent she was notentirely sure of where she would go orwhat she would do Originally fromBrunswick Maine Mersereau decidedshe needed to see more of the worldbefore starting college

ldquoI probably wouldnrsquot have ended upat Bowdoin if I hadnrsquot taken a gap yearI think it was really necessary for meto get out of Brunswick before I cameback for four yearsrdquo she said

Mersereau began her gap year inNew York City working as a fashiondesign intern in the Garment Districtand later on the Upper East Side

Just afer midnight on August 16DeRay McKesson rsquo07 was at home inMinneapolis watching TV coverage ofthe protests in Ferguson Mo when hedecided he needed to be part of themMcKesson rented a car the next morn-ing and made the nine-hour trip to Fer-guson He planned on protesting for twodays but ended up taking a full week off from work and staying for nine daysTe protests began on August 9

when police offi cer Darren Wilsonwho is white shot and killed MichaelBrown an 18-year-old black man whowas unarmed at the time Police claimthat Brown assaulted Wilson but nu-merous witnesses off er con1047298ictingaccounts Several witnesses describeseeing Brown raise his hands abovehis head just before Wilson 1047297red theshots that proved fatal an image that

inspired one of the protestorsrsquo man-tras ldquoHands up donrsquot shootrdquoMcKesson who works for the Min-

neapolis public school system said thatas someone who works in education hewas immediately struck by one stark re-ality of Brownrsquos death

ldquoTere are a lot of great things wecan do for kids around opportunityespecially kids from low-income com-munitiesrdquo he said ldquoBut you have to bealive to learnrdquoTe protests focused on racial in-

equality and police discriminationagainst black Americans

ldquoIt is centrally about the idea thatblack lives matter and that MichaelBrownrsquos blackness is not enoughfor him to be perceived as a deadly

threatrdquo said McKesson who is blackldquoFerguson is a case study in systemicstructural racismrdquo

McKesson said that a wide rangeof people took part in the protests

He heard children there asking theirparents why Brown was killed andwhether or not they should be afraidof the police

ldquoIt was an experience to see par-

ents have to remind their kids thatthey are worthy members [of soci-ety]rdquo McKesson said

According to McKesson youngadults at the protests thought that

they could find themselves inBrownrsquos position

ldquoAt night in a hoodie Irsquom anotherTrayvon Martin I am not a BowdoingradmdashIrsquom a black guy in a hoodierdquohe said ldquoI understand that my black-ness is how people experience me 1047297rstsometimes for better or for worseand thatrsquos realrdquo

Despite the upheaval that markedhis days in Ferguson McKesson said hewas surprised and happy that his time inFerguson was as he put it ldquoa Bowdoinmomentrdquo He spent his1047297rst nights in thearea on the couch of Ivy Blackmore rsquo07He bumped into Priya Sridhar rsquo07 whowas covering the protests for the Associ-ated Press Will Donahoe rsquo08 who wasprotesting and Kristina Goodwin rsquo10who was providing legal aid

Ferguson schools were closed for afew days during the protests so volun-teers taught children at the local libraryMcKesson was among them as was

Ross Jacobs rsquo10ldquoIt was powerful to see the Collegersquoscommitment to the social good play outin such a natural wayrdquo McKesson said

McKesson began to document theprotests via Twitter because he wasfrustrated that the mediamdashdistractedby the shocking optics of the police re-sponsemdashhad forgotten the purpose ofthe demonstrations which he referredto as ldquoprincipled protestingrdquo

Local authorities policed the protestsusing armored vehicles hundreds of of-1047297cers in riot gear tear gas and rubberbullets McKesson said the enormity ofthe police presence was incredible andthat the situation was ofen terrifying

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for

the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was

Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan

Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener

The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity

and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty

Pinot Grigio itself is actually

an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio

varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape

Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a

bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the

kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that

this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert

reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should

just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now

Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and

very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red

When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle

On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo

As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle

As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet

Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo

ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet

Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the

more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press

During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used

Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While

in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began

Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art

Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth

took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces

Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom

The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god

ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-

maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War

ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann

ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann

Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect

ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-

stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann

The idea for the show came in

large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition

At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke

van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable

ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT

America land of the privileged home of the petulant

This summer I spent a week in

Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra

My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke

During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his

vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball

Wivesrdquo Another time I walked

into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice

On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-

boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap

I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks

I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf

roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo

Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down

in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo

In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-

selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt

seems that in doing

away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine

I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of

Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it

My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo

Maybe this has somethingto do with it

In Chambo Mindyrsquos themesong jingles I root around in the

From this Majical Cloudz-like

The spooky spidery lurch of

The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo

At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases

Turner said she takes a bitof solace in knowing that herpresence opens the field up for

her new partner Amanda Kin-neston rsquo15 who has absorbedmost of the time Hofstetter hadseen as the other forward overthe last two years Hofstetterhas moved to playing centermidfield but in certain forma-tions still plays forward withKinneston and Turner or inplace of KinnestonTis helps both players stay

rested by not having to play in thecenter mid1047297eld position for thefull 90 minutes While Kinnestonlabels herself as more of a goal-scorermdashher stats are identical toTurnerrsquos so far this seasonmdashshebears more similarities to Hof-stetter than Turner Both haveexcellent technical skills work asfacilitators and are ofen praised

for their skillholding the ball

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing

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

So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

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

ldquoItrsquos a new yearrdquo Pearson saidldquoWe try not to use losses as ourwhole motivation and try to focuson what the strengths are of theteam this yearrdquo

But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld

ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said

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

Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game

The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday

ldquoIn practice our big emphasisis on being better in our nextgame than the previous onerdquo

MCKESSONCONTINUED FROM PAGE 6

This week while shopping forour wine we decided to go forcash instead of class Completelyavoiding the limited reserve sec-tion we instead went straight for

the cheapest Pinot Grigio we couldfind And what a Pinot it was

Our selection a 2013 CaliforniaPinot Grigio named Flipflop im-mediately caught our eye Beingthe cheapest thing on the shelfit wasnrsquot surprising that the labellooked like something you couldhave printed off Kid Pix in yourfree time if you still had yourMac from the early 90s on handIt helpfully notes that the winewould pair well with bruschettaspaghetti carbonara or even egg-plant parmesan

Also it had a screw top Givenour past experience with corks itwas like manna from heaven whenwe didnrsquot have to whip out ourroommatersquos rabbit bottle opener

The first thing that struck uswas the nose It was light fruity

and altogether pleasing with deli-cious notes of peach and pear InBrandonrsquos view it was the best fea-ture of the wine While Brandoncould waft this all day Bryce wasmuch more keen to drink itTe taste itself really hit the palate

as bright crisp and slightly eff erves-cent We noted that it had a nice bal-ance between dryness and sweetnessand could ser ve well as ldquochampagnerdquofor people who arenrsquot willing to com-mit to the full bubbly It also had agood mouthfeelmdashoverall silky and alittle weighty

Pinot Grigio itself is actually

an Italian clone of the Pinot Grisgrape which originated in Bur-gundy France The Pinot Grigio

varie ty of the grape is typica llyharvested early in order to main-tain some of the bright acidity sothe wine isnrsquot too overpowered byfruity notes It is worthwhile tonote that our wine is actually fromCalifornia but the variation inmeaning is only slight Pinot Grisfrom the Golden State is regularlycalled Pinot Grigio due to similari-ties to the Italian variety of grape

Tart would be a word to describethis wine Bryce enjoyed the acid-ity overall and thought it added arefreshing crispness Any less andthe sweetness may have been cloy-ing On the other hand Brandonfelt that it was a little too acidicand the grapes could have done a

bit less the next timeFlipflop is a good housewifewine If you got hit hard by therecession this is the wine for youItrsquos cheap but still good enoughto fill up your to-go mug severaltimes over before dropping the

kids off at soccer practiceAlso important to note is that

this bottle is a Wine Enthusiastmagazine Best Buy of 2011 Sinceour vintage is a 2013 we were alittle skeptical but nonethelesswe thought we should look upthe official review Ranking it ata respectable 87100 the ldquoexpert

reviewerrdquo noted many of the samecharacteristics that we found Weare not official sommeliers but weenjoyed it too so everyone should

just refer to us for our opini on o neverything now

Overall Flipflop Pinot Grigiois not too sweet not too dry and

very ldquof reshrdquo in tas te but th e acidit ymay off put some drinkers who aremore partial to red

When it comes down to it how-ever this wine is a great deal forthe price

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle

On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo

As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle

As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet

Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo

ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet

Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the

more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press

During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used

Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While

in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began

Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art

Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth

took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces

Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom

The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god

ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-

maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War

ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann

ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann

Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect

ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-

stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann

The idea for the show came in

large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition

At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke

van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable

ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has

exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that

has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos

tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread

ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo

Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator

of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22

The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de

Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-

ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967

These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small

vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited

ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one

of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these

shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation

ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann

ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4

The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm

Associate Professor of Art Michael

Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster

Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing

ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

America land of the privileged home of the petulant

This summer I spent a week in

Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra

My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke

During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his

vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball

Wivesrdquo Another time I walked

into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice

On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-

boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap

I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks

I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf

roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo

Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down

in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo

In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-

selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt

seems that in doing

away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine

I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of

Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it

My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo

Maybe this has somethingto do with it

In Chambo Mindyrsquos themesong jingles I root around in the

scored his 1047297rst career goal off of arebound of a shot from Matt Dias-Costa rsquo17 Just two minutes later aNorrsquoeaster defender accidentally de-1047298ected a cross from Dias-Costa intohis own net giving the Polar Bearsan insurance goal that ended upsealing the game

The Polar Bears continued tooutplay the Norrsquoeasters through-out the second half Althoughthey could not put together an-other goal they still cruised to a2-0 victory

Last weekend the Polar Bearsdropped a crucial conferencegame to Middlebury 2-0 lower-ing their NESCAC record to 1-3Te Bowdoin loss also marked thefourth straight shutout victory forthe Panthers

The Polar Bears had manychances early on in the game butwere unable to capitalize on any ofthem In the 22nd minute the Pan-

thers took advantage of a cornerkick as Middleburyrsquos Tom Beanrsquosheader escaped Bowdoin keeperNoah Safian rsquo17Te Panthers added to their lead

only six minutes later when Middle-buryrsquos Adam Glaser chipped a ballover Sa1047297an for his league-leading

1047297fh goal of the seasonldquoTey had three shots and two

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

ldquoWe are working on 1047297xing ourmistakes in practice so they donrsquothappen againrdquo said senior captainEric Goitia rsquo15 ldquoSo thatrsquos a positivecoming out of t hisrdquo

Last Saturday the field hockeyteam handed Middlebury its firstloss of the season in a tense 2-1match With the win the team de-fended its No 1 rank in the NES-CAC and its perfect record of 4-0

ldquoWe started off pretty 1047298atrdquo cap-tain Colleen Finnerty rsquo15 saidldquoTey scored and that kind of put usback on our heels for a little bit and Ithink we came out a bit scaredrdquo

The team regrouped makingchanges throughout the first halfldquoWe made a few more adjust-

The team fended off the Pan-thersrsquo offense for the remainderof the game holding them to onlysix shots and six penalty corners inthe rest of regulation GoalkeeperHannah Gartner rsquo15 stayed com-posed after the early goal to keepBowdoin in the game

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

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

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ARTS amp ENTERTAINMENTNew exhibitions at Museum explore mythical lovers Cupid and Psyche

LOUISA MOORESTAFF WRITER

Master printer Greg Burnet speaks about process collaboration with Tuttle

On Tuesday night master printerGreg Burnet talked about his experi-ences collaborating with printmakerRichard Tuttle to a receptive audi-ence of students faculty and commu-nity members Te prints that Burnetworked on are currently on displayat the Bowdoin Museum of Art aspart of a larger exhibition ldquoRichardTuttle A Print Retrospectiverdquo

As a part of the Gallery Conver-sations hosted by the Bowdoin Mu-seum of Art Burnet spoke about hispast as both an artist and a masterprinter and how he came to workwith Tuttle

As a master printer Burnet isresponsible for printing the physi-cal images created by printmak-ers such as Tuttle The individualprintmaker comes up with theideas and helps with small de-tails but the majority of the actualprinting process is the work of amaster printer like Burnet

Tis job requires him to ldquojumpthrough a lot of hoops and be ableto be technically 100 percent pro1047297-cientrdquo Burnet said ldquoBut [it also helps

MARINA AFFO

ORIENT STAFF

to] have a good idea of what the art-ist is about within a couple days ofworking with the artistrdquo

ldquo[Tuttle] really pushes the enve-lope of prints to look deceptivelysimplerdquo said Burnet

Burnet also went into detailabout the various methods used inmaking some of the pieces He andTuttle used material ranging fromsandpaper and Tarletonmdasha mesh-like materialmdashto acid and plasticbarbed wire to create many of the

more intricate designs Tuttle and Burnet primarily usea printmaking technique called ala poupee meaning ldquoof the dollrdquo inFrench Te technique involves ap-plying diff erent colored inks directlyonto the etched surface of a copperplate before running it through aprinting press

During his lecture Burnet elabo-rated on the procedure behindspeci1047297c prints and was able to passaround the original copper plates heand Tuttle used

Before becoming a master print-er Burnet a native of Australiawas an aspiring painter After artschool he moved to London wherehe started looking for work While

in London he was able to get a jobreprinting Australian botanicalflowers a project he worked on forfour years He moved to New YorkCity in 1991 he met Tuttle andtheir collaboration began

Burnet and Tuttle have worked to-gether on 1047297 ve of Tuttlersquos pieces LineEdge Edges Gold and Cloth all ofwhich are currently on display at theBowdoin Museum of Art

Line Edge Edges and Gold eachtook a year to create and Cloth

took four years Each is a series ofprints that range from 13 to 16 in-dividual pieces

Burnet currently owns hisown studio in New York and hasworked with various printmakersfrom Robert Mangold and InkaEssenhigh to Kiki Smith and Car-roll Dunham Burnet says he isalways working with at least twoor three artists at a time Many oftheir prints can be viewed on hiswebsite burneteditionscom

The Bowdoin College Museumof Art will debut three new exhi-bitions at the end of SeptemberldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Mythof Psyche Baroque Tapestries fromthe Wadsworth Atheneumrdquo openon September 27 and ldquoAlison deVere Psyche and Erosrdquo opens onSeptember 30 The shows whichencompass a range of mediumsand time periods all relate to theancient myth of Psyche and Cupidthe story of a relationship betweena princess and a god

ldquo[It is] one of the most beautifullove stories ever writtenrdquo said theCurator of the Bowdoin College Mu-seum of Art Joachim Homann ldquoIthas always been recognized as suchrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo serves as an antecham-ber to the other two shows Printsand a painting by the Dutch print-

maker publisher and painter linethe walls Goltzius an active artistfrom the1580s to 1610s used hisart with varying levels of subtletyto comment on the political cli-mate in Holland At the time theDutch were fighting for indepen-dence from Spanish Habsburg rulein the Eighty Years War

ldquoHis lines are what everybodyrsquosraving about his ways of creatingdepthrdquo said Homann

ldquoPeople who care about print-making recognize Goltzius as amaster who has achieved thingsthat other people would not haveattemptedrdquo said Homann

Goltziusrsquo work is intricate anddense but with a closer look onecan see the simple details that cre-ate the overall effect

ldquoItrsquos also equally amazing to justlook into the details and under-

stand how they were created justwith black lines and white paperrdquosaid Homann

The idea for the show came in

large part from a 2009 donationmade (posthumously) by CharlesPendexter whose collection in-cluded many Goltzius printsThese in addition to pieces loanedfrom the Princeton Museum of Artin New Jersey and the Currier Mu-seum of Art in Manchester NewHampshire come together to forma compelling exhibition

At the Museum the smallerroom of Goltzius prints transitionsinto a large space with high ceilingsand salmon-colored walls that dis-play ldquoWeaving the Myth of PsycheBaroque Tapestries from the Wad-sworth Atheneumrdquo These fiveFrench tapestries by the Flemishpainter and designer Pieter Coecke

van Aelst are incredib ly rare andextremely valuable

ldquoI would imagine that itrsquos thefirst time in Maine anybody has

exhibited a tapestry cycle of thatsignificancerdquo said Homann ldquoItis really an opportunity to learnabout a medium of art maki ng that

has never been featured in a showlike this hererdquoThese works based on Rafaelrsquos

tapestries which were destroyedduring the French Revolution fortheir provocativemdashand even por-nographicmdashnature were the ul-timate sign of wealth Some eveninclude gold and silver thread

ldquoIn the Renaissance and Baroqueperiods the most important ormost expensive furnishings wereactually not paintings but tapes-triesrdquo said Homann ldquoWe often for-get that because they are so rarerdquo

Van Aelstrsquos tapestries have not just made an impact at Bowdoin The Metropolitan Museum of Artin New York is featuring his workas well and Homann is excited tolearn from the Metrsquos show and toadd to the understanding of thetapestries at Bowdoin The curator

of the show at the Met ElizabethCleland will also come to speak atBowdoin on October 22

The final new exhibit ldquoAlison de

Vere Psyche and Erosrdquo will providea visual aspect to the story of Cupidand Psyche and help further com-plement the tapestries in the previ-

ous room The 26-minute animatedfilm from 1994mdashclosely related toldquoThe Golden Assrdquo by the Romanauthor Apuleiusmdashwas made by deVere She is also well-known forhelping design the Yellow Subma-rine film for the Beatles in 1967

These shows will allow Homannto share some of the Museumrsquos in-credible holdings with the Bowdoincommunity and beyond Somesmaller pieces from Bowdoinrsquos per-manent collection including small

vases fragment s and fi gurines dis-playing Cupid and Psyche will alsobe exhibited

ldquoLearning about [European artfrom the 16th and 17th centuries]I find that in the wintertime inMaine to contemplate and unravelthe art of Goltzius and to immerseyourself in the tapestries is just one

of the best ways of getting throughwinterrdquo said HomannHomann also believes that these

shows may interest local textile art-ists They also have particular rel-evance for art history courses and anew Mediterranean studies clusterfunded by the Mellon Foundation

ldquoI really feel strongly that theBowdoin community in particularneeds to know about the collec-tion and the Goltzius prints andthe other donations by CharlesPendexterrdquo said Homann

ldquo[Tey] are an amazing resourcefor all of us to discover and enjoy so Iwant people to take advantage of thatrdquo

ldquoHendrick Goltzius Mythologyand Truthrdquo and ldquoWeaving the Myth ofPsyche Baroque Tapestries from theWadsworth Atheneumrdquo will be shownuntil early March and ldquoAlison de VerePsyche and Erosrdquo until January 4

The two main exhibitions willbe previewed at the Student Nightat the Museum program on FridaySeptember 26 at 7 pm

Many students attending Tuesdayrsquoslecture were taking Printmaking I

Garreth Helm rsquo18 a student inPrintmaking I said the lecture wasinteresting and thought-provokingand noted how much work goesinto printmaking

Lizzy Takyi rsquo17 who is also inPrintmaking I said ldquowhat he wassaying I could almost picture hap-pening because we have been talkingabout using some of these materialsrdquo

Associate Professor of Art Michael

Kolster also attended the lectureldquoI didnrsquot know what to expectbefore I came so it was nice to seea master printer talk about processand have some insight as to how thepieces were maderdquo said Kolster

Kolster said he also found the rela-tionship between a printmaker and amaster printer to be very intriguing

ldquoTuttle is working in a way that is very gestural and also very i nspiredin the moment by what he discoversrdquohe said ldquoTen the master printer hasto in essence respond to that and beable to create a series of that sponta-neityrdquo Kolster saidTe Richard Tuttle A Print Retro-

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT

America land of the privileged home of the petulant

This summer I spent a week in

Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra

My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke

During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his

vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball

Wivesrdquo Another time I walked

into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice

On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-

boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap

I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks

I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf

roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo

Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down

in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo

In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-

selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt

seems that in doing

away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine

I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of

Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it

My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo

Maybe this has somethingto do with it

voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a

ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo

From this Majical Cloudz-like

moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds

Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo

The spooky spidery lurch of

ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote

The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance

The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo

At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases

The Polar Bears had manychances early on in the game butwere unable to capitalize on any ofthem In the 22nd minute the Pan-

thers took advantage of a cornerkick as Middleburyrsquos Tom Beanrsquosheader escaped Bowdoin keeperNoah Safian rsquo17Te Panthers added to their lead

only six minutes later when Middle-buryrsquos Adam Glaser chipped a ballover Sa1047297an for his league-leading

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

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing

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

So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

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

ldquoItrsquos a new yearrdquo Pearson saidldquoWe try not to use losses as ourwhole motivation and try to focuson what the strengths are of theteam this yearrdquo

But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld

ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said

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

Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game

The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday

ldquoIn practice our big emphasisis on being better in our nextgame than the previous onerdquo

ANNA HALL THE BOWDOIN ORIENT

America land of the privileged home of the petulant

This summer I spent a week in

Ghana watching Mexican telenovasthat had been re-dubbed in Englishin the film studios of Accra

My favorite soap was ldquoForeverYoursrdquo which played nightly atseven Terrible things happenedto the characters There weremiscarriages and disappearancesand kidnappings and death Of-ten when a child went missing ora woman contemplated suicidemy host grandma would sighloudly bemoaning the losses forthese characters on the screenOther times she and her daugh-ter Michelle would laugh loudlyat the acting glancing at me tolet me in on the joke

During commercial breaks wewatched news coverage of the Eb-ola epidemic or six minute ani-mated PSAs detailing the spreadof cholera through a rural areaoutside Accra Ghanarsquos capitalcity In these ads a man saved his

vill age w ith clea n wat er an d sa ltOnce we watched ldquoBasketball

Wivesrdquo Another time I walked

into their house to find an episodeof ldquoExtreme Makeover Home Edi-tionrdquo playing on their small TV Isettled into my spot on the leop-ard print couch Michelle handedme a tray with plantains and rice

On the TV one of the contrac-tors borrowed the familyrsquos surf-

boards and went down to thebeach He looked like a kid in hiskhakis and cap

I mushed the plantains on myplate wondering whatit was like to watcha Floridian Mc-Mansion be re-built by grown-ups pretendingto be kids whileliving behinda large gateon a potholeddusty streetin the capitalof a countrywhere mil-lions residein shacks

I looked atthe TV ldquoThis

is the worst ofAmericardquo I saidwhile simultane-ously WhatsAp-ping my buddyfrom my new Android (purchasedin a shack) and texting my momfrom my iPhone

ldquoWhyrsquos thatrdquo said MichelleldquoTheyrsquore going to have a surf

roomrdquo I said ldquoFor their surf-boards A room Just for thatrdquo

Michelle stared at me then atTV (where the fat Floridians weregleefully jumping up and down

in their too-small too-colorfulbathing suits) thenback to me on hercouch ldquoYou play onyour phones a lotrdquoshe said finallyldquoAre you donewith your foodrdquo

In Ghana I read ldquoThe BeautifulOnes Are Not Yet Bornrdquo a Ghana-ian novel about an unnamed rail-road clerk too stubborn to takebribes Now back at BowdoinI am reading ldquoJane Eyrerdquo ldquoTheGreat Gatsbyrdquo and ldquoMy AntoniardquoIrsquom surprised by the seriousnesswith which Mr Rochester andthe railroad clerk conduct them-

selves In contrast Jim BurdenJay Gatsby and Nick Carraway

seem like kids sneaking up tothe grown-up table

New York Times film criticAO Scott recently suggestedthat adulthood is dead ldquoIt

seems that in doing

away with patriarchal authoritywe have also perhaps unwittinglykilled off all the grown-upsrdquo hewrote in the September 11 issue ofNew York Times Magazine

I think Scott has a point Butif American adulthood is deadmaybe it always has been Hen-derson Ishmael Humbert andHolden are childish angsty andscared Theyrsquore American in the

best sense bumbling and naiumlveand self-centered Even Thoreaursquoslsquodeliberate livingrsquo resembles mylittle brotherrsquos plan to take a se-mester off from Williams to ldquobein the woodsrdquo

Now as I sit in my king sizebed in Chambo cradling a box of

Lucky Charms and re-watchingldquoThe Mindy Projectrdquo I wonderwhy American adulthood appearsto be dead while Ghanaian adult-hood seemed f irmly intact Surepeople in Ghana watched ldquoBas-ketball Wivesrdquo But there seemedto be a seriousness with whichthey did it

My first day in Ghana theprogram director stood beforeme in slacks and a bright linenshirt ldquoIf you have allergies inAfricardquo he said ldquoyou are deadby elevenrdquo

Maybe this has somethingto do with it

In Chambo Mindyrsquos themesong jingles I root around in the

cereal box mining for rainbowmarshmallows and turning all thisover in my head

Maybe I think we as Ameri-cans are so comfortable that wersquovebegun to resist safetymdashthroughwrecking balls and bad jokes andanacondas and rap while Ghana-iansmdashless safemdashare forced to clingto the safety they do have forcingthem into the ldquoadulthoodrdquo many ofus have left behind

My phone rings ldquoYou racked upa $400 phone bill during your oneweek abroadrdquo my mom says

ldquoChildhood is a privilegerdquo Itell her

ldquoCall Verizonrdquo she says

ldquoIt might be a little precocious tocall it thatrdquo said Dasgupta

Instead he called the record-ing ldquomore [of] just a collection ofthoughts over the past years so itrsquosnot like anything speci1047297c Itrsquos morelike whatrsquos been going on in my headrdquo

This summer Dasgupta and hisroommate Zach Albert rsquo16 decidedto get into the studio together andrecord an alternative folk EP whichthey plan to share with people whoare interested in their music Albertplayed the drums and Dasguptaplayed all the other instruments forthe recordings

The Polar Bears continued tooutplay the Norrsquoeasters through-out the second half Althoughthey could not put together an-other goal they still cruised to a2-0 victory

Last weekend the Polar Bearsdropped a crucial conferencegame to Middlebury 2-0 lower-ing their NESCAC record to 1-3Te Bowdoin loss also marked thefourth straight shutout victory forthe Panthers

The Polar Bears had manychances early on in the game butwere unable to capitalize on any ofthem In the 22nd minute the Pan-

thers took advantage of a cornerkick as Middleburyrsquos Tom Beanrsquosheader escaped Bowdoin keeperNoah Safian rsquo17Te Panthers added to their lead

only six minutes later when Middle-buryrsquos Adam Glaser chipped a ballover Sa1047297an for his league-leading

1047297fh goal of the seasonldquoTey had three shots and two

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

Last Saturday the field hockeyteam handed Middlebury its firstloss of the season in a tense 2-1match With the win the team de-fended its No 1 rank in the NES-CAC and its perfect record of 4-0

ldquoWe started off pretty 1047298atrdquo cap-tain Colleen Finnerty rsquo15 saidldquoTey scored and that kind of put usback on our heels for a little bit and Ithink we came out a bit scaredrdquo

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

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

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

ldquoIt might be a little precocious tocall it thatrdquo said Dasgupta

Instead he called the record-ing ldquomore [of] just a collection ofthoughts over the past years so itrsquosnot like anything speci1047297c Itrsquos morelike whatrsquos been going on in my headrdquo

This summer Dasgupta and hisroommate Zach Albert rsquo16 decidedto get into the studio together andrecord an alternative folk EP whichthey plan to share with people whoare interested in their music Albertplayed the drums and Dasguptaplayed all the other instruments forthe recordings

The Circus Dasguptarsquos bandat Bowdoin mostly covers otherbands but also writes and performssome of its own original songs Theband consists of Dasgupta and Al-bert as well as juniors Harry RubeChris MacDonald Simon Mousha-beck and Shan Nagar

It all started two years ago with agroup of friends who lived in samefirst-year dorm

ldquoWe got together and started play-ingrdquo said Das-guptaTe band

likes ldquodoing [its]own interpreta-tion of songshelliplike old rock[and] songs thatare upbeat and would work at a par-tyrdquo said Dasgupta

voi ce cr acki ng an d sp iri t sh aki ngHadreas sang about having an af-fair in high school with a teach-er who then threw himself off a

building Now still haunted heoffers no apology

ldquoI Declinerdquo the recordrsquos openersets this tone with its lyrics ofmodest refusal He describes anangel hovering overhead arms ex-tended in a welcoming embracewarm smile plastered on its faceItrsquos a nice image but Hadreas isin no mood for otherworldly sup-port He considers the offer for amoment over spare piano chordsand finally murmurs ldquothatrsquos allright I d eclinerdquo

From this Majical Cloudz-like

moment Hadreas does an aboutface and channels his inner Fred-die Mercury on ldquoQueenrdquo The pow-er-chord thrust tingling synthsand hip-shaking gutturals cer-tainly recall Queen the band butldquoQueenrdquo the song retains Hadreasrsquotrademark discomfiting lyricsldquoDonrsquot you know your queenrdquo heasks no coincidence that it sounds

very much like ldquodonrsquot you knowyoursquore queerrdquo

Decay features prominently inldquoToo Brightrdquo Internalized shamebecomes corrosive as Hadreasrsquodamaged soul eats away at its cage

On ldquoNo Goodrdquo Hadreas won-ders if he is ldquomeant to fray to theendrdquo as his body unravels leav-ing no place to hang his heart

Not one to give in so easily heturns the decay into a dare ldquoIwear my body like a rotted peach You can have it if you can han-dle the stinkrdquo

The spooky spidery lurch of

ldquoMy Bodyrdquo makes it one of the bestdance songs on the album all themore when it explodes halfwaythrough into the best synth pulseDepeche Mode never wrote

The true centerpiece of ldquoTooBrightrdquo however is the soul-swinging thumb-snapping odeto love-induced idiocy ldquoFoolrdquoHadreas croons to an anonymouslover about picking out a dress forthe night before flitting out of theroom to dance

The song fades almost to silencebefore the synth grows strongerand Hadreas lets out a swellinggasp of ecstasy like a fool in lovewho canrsquot believe his luck Hesounds more assured for the rest ofthe song helped along by the sexysputter of a sax when he ldquodoes alittle movelike a buffoonrdquo

At once self-deprecating andself-accepting ldquoFoolrdquo showcases

all of Perfume Geniusrsquo strengthshis evocative lyrics impeccablearrangement and tight sequenc-ing Most of all it highlights justhow powerful of a singer Hadreasis his voice shimmering and glim-mering as much Joacutensi as AntonyldquoFoolrdquo is not only fluttery andprecise but also firm and prouda balance Hadreas maintains per-fectly throughout the album

On ldquoToo Brightrdquo Perfume Ge-nius proves he is deserving of the

eponym He is able to distancehimself from the camp of discomusic while drawing on the aes-thetic of othered musicians whoturned the marginal mainstream

her new partner Amanda Kin-neston rsquo15 who has absorbedmost of the time Hofstetter hadseen as the other forward overthe last two years Hofstetterhas moved to playing centermidfield but in certain forma-tions still plays forward withKinneston and Turner or inplace of KinnestonTis helps both players stay

rested by not having to play in thecenter mid1047297eld position for thefull 90 minutes While Kinnestonlabels herself as more of a goal-scorermdashher stats are identical toTurnerrsquos so far this seasonmdashshebears more similarities to Hof-stetter than Turner Both haveexcellent technical skills work asfacilitators and are ofen praised

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing

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

So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

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

But Finnerty still attests that it canfeel good to beat a rival on their1047297eld

ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

be ready for thatrsquordquo Finnerty said

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

The team has the weekend offand is preparing to play WellesleyCollege next Wednesday at homebefore it gets back into conferenceplay Bowdoin will also host Trin-ity next Saturday

The menrsquos soccer team coastedto a 2-0 victory over University ofNew England Tuesday eveningbouncing back from a 2-0 lossagainst Middlebury this past week-end With the win the Polar Bearsimproved to 3-3-0

Afer controlling play for mostof the 1047297rst half Nick DiStefano rsquo18

scored his 1047297rst career goal off of arebound of a shot from Matt Dias-Costa rsquo17 Just two minutes later aNorrsquoeaster defender accidentally de-1047298ected a cross from Dias-Costa intohis own net giving the Polar Bearsan insurance goal that ended upsealing the game

The Polar Bears continued tooutplay the Norrsquoeasters through-out the second half Althoughthey could not put together an-other goal they still cruised to a2-0 victory

Last weekend the Polar Bearsdropped a crucial conferencegame to Middlebury 2-0 lower-ing their NESCAC record to 1-3Te Bowdoin loss also marked thefourth straight shutout victory forthe Panthers

The Polar Bears had manychances early on in the game butwere unable to capitalize on any ofthem In the 22nd minute the Pan-

thers took advantage of a cornerkick as Middleburyrsquos Tom Beanrsquosheader escaped Bowdoin keeperNoah Safian rsquo17Te Panthers added to their lead

only six minutes later when Middle-buryrsquos Adam Glaser chipped a ballover Sa1047297an for his league-leading

1047297fh goal of the seasonldquoTey had three shots and two

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

ening up defensivley to limit mis-takes under pressure and play a morecomplete game

ldquoWe are working on 1047297xing ourmistakes in practice so they donrsquothappen againrdquo said senior captainEric Goitia rsquo15 ldquoSo thatrsquos a positivecoming out of t hisrdquo

Bowdoin had numerous chancesdown the stretch and outshot Mid-dlebury 9-3 for the game but the Po-

lar Bears could not capitalize on anyof their chances

Dias-Costa ripped an open lookover the net in the 77th minute andthe Panther defense was able to holdonto the lead for the rest of the game

Field hockey gets revengein final minute comeback

Last Saturday the field hockeyteam handed Middlebury its firstloss of the season in a tense 2-1match With the win the team de-fended its No 1 rank in the NES-CAC and its perfect record of 4-0

This win was hardfought for thePolar Bears The Panthers scoredwithin the first five minutes set-ting a tone for the first half

ldquoWe started off pretty 1047298atrdquo cap-tain Colleen Finnerty rsquo15 saidldquoTey scored and that kind of put usback on our heels for a little bit and Ithink we came out a bit scaredrdquo

The team regrouped makingchanges throughout the first halfldquoWe made a few more adjust-

ments at the halftime and then inthe second half we played a lotbetterrdquo said Head Coach NickyPearson

The team fended off the Pan-thersrsquo offense for the remainderof the game holding them to onlysix shots and six penalty corners inthe rest of regulation GoalkeeperHannah Gartner rsquo15 stayed com-posed after the early goal to keepBowdoin in the game

With just three minutes left onthe clock and still down by onegoal it looked as if the Pantherswere going to make the Polar Bearsrelive their defeat in last yearrsquosNESCAC championship game inwhich Bowdoin fell to Middleburyby a single goal

However three minutes provedto be just enough time Liz Znam-ierowski rsquo16 broke free on a breakaway and went for an open shoton the net before being pummeledby a defender leading to a penaltyshot Bowdoinrsquos top goal scorerRachel Kennedy rsquo16 lined up for

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

berth At halftime a sea of sea-son ticket holders bolted for theirtailgates I wasnrsquot there in 2001the year of the Patsrsquo first cham-pionship but I canrsquot imagine thatthose fans would have left the oldFoxboro Stadium early Success isfleeting in the hypercompetitiveNFL and every moment of great-ness is worth embracing

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

So I say to you fair weather Pa-triots fans that left early on Sun-day wake up and smell the enti-tlement before itrsquos too late Rookiequarterback Jimmy Garoppolomay be a solid player one day butwe have limited time left withBrady one of the greatest of alltime Letrsquos bring the fire of thatsnowy Dolphins game back toGillette and appreciate how for-tunate we are to be watching bril-liance in action

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

ldquoHaving that taste in our mouthsduring the 1047297 ve-hour bus drive toMiddlebury it just feels so much bet-ter on the ride back when you comeback with a winrdquo Finnerty said

Playing both Middlebury and

Amherst which is now ranked Noseven in the first three weeks of theseason at first seemed daunting

ldquoYou look at the schedule andgo lsquoWow are we really going to

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

Last night the team shut outthe University of Maine Farming-ton 4-0 Adrienne OrsquoDonnell rsquo15scored in the third minute andEmily Simonton rsquo15 added twogoals of her own 10 minutes laterto give the Polar Bears a comfort-able 3-0 lead only 14 minutes intothe game

Will all the Patriots fans please stand up

As a blizzard raged on a Sun-day afternoon in December 2003the roaring cheers of the Patriotsfaithful rocked Gillette Stadium Adedicated cohort of fans dug theirseats out from a foot of snow towatch the hardy Patriots grind outa win against the Miami Do lphins

When Tedy Bruschi sealed thegame with a pick-six the freezingcrowd ecstatically filled the Fox-boro air with snowballs Such isthe passion of a true football fanmdasha true Patriots fan

Over the course of the past 11years though the passion hasdwindled in New England Surethe Patriots still sell out everyhome game and in 2014 Pats fansstill placed fourth on a Forbes listranking the best NFL fanbases

But in the opinion of this life-long Pats fanmdashwho was fortunateenough to attend that Dolphinsgame and a few others sincemdashtheatmosphere at Gillette has notice-ably changed

On Sunday the Pats played theirfirst home game of the season andwith all the pent-up anticipationand excitement the fans shouldhave been louder than the musketsfired by the minuteman imperson-ators at the game

Holding just a one-touchdownlead with only two minutes remain-

ing the Patriots defense needed tofend off a Raiders drive to seal thewin This is the time for real fans toget loud and pump up the defenseWith teams penalized for lapsesin communication football moreso than any other sport feeds offcrowd noise making home-fieldadvantage a true phenomenon

And yet if it werenrsquot for the fog-horn sound from the stadium PAsystem the noise level at Gillettewould have been minimal Evenmore inexcusable the stadium wasalready 13 empty during the finaldrive of a close game

Since when did Patriots fans be-come so complacent Granted aSeptember game against the lowlyRaiders doesnrsquot have quite the ex-citement of a December matchupagainst the rival Dolphins But ev-ery win counts in the 16 game NF Lseason and fans only get a chanceto see their team play at homeeight times Why wouldnrsquot Patsfans relish every moment

The answer lies in these incredi-ble statistics 11 division titles fiveconference titles and three SuperBowl championships in 13 seasonsPats fans have become so spoiledwith success so accustomed toplayoff games in January that theyare no longer interested in an ordi-nary regular season game

A couple of years ago I attendeda late December game after thePats had already clinched a playoff

Te Polar Bear off ense wasplagued with the same problemsaround the net they have suff ered allseason scoring goals

ldquoTe other thing is composureand 1047297nishing around the netmdashweneed to be more effi cient with ourchancesrdquo said Jones

ldquoIn our league every team is

known for being strong and toughon defenserdquo Goitia said ldquoSo takingadvantage of the opportunities youget is so importantrdquo

The Polar Bears will have tobounce back from a disappointing1-3 start in the NESCAC if theywant to be one of the eight teamsthat reach the playoffs They willhave plenty of time to work ontheir play with nine days off un-til their next game which will beagainst Husson

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

ldquoWe need to continue to focuson getting everything right over 90minutesmdashnot 89 minutesmdashwith thatone minute being when they scorerdquo

said JonesldquoWe just have to be more 1047298uid go-ing from defense to attackrdquo Goitiasaid ldquoIn transition a lot of times wecan get caught and we need to focuson thatrdquo

Both said that if the team makesthese small changes it could be dan-gerous team

ldquoWe feel con1047297dent that our abilityis good enough to beat every team inour leaguerdquo Jones said ldquoIf we contin-ue to improve we can beat the rest ofthe teams we playrdquo

ldquoItrsquos just a matter of going back andinstilling a little bit of confidenceand coaching up some small thingsto make our game betterrdquo

ldquoI think we know what we pret-ty much need to do it just comesdown to doing it and executing itrdquosaid Mac Caputi

The team hopes to play more like

it did in the pre-season and put last
