Thanks
be to Student Government
The
Orient has not recently cast itself as student government's greatest
fan. Yet, credit must be given where credit is due. This Monday
the faculty will vote on a measure to begin Thanksgiving break after
students' last classes on the Tuesday before turkey day on Thursday.
This proposed alteration of the academic calendar has only come
before the faculty due to the consistent efforts of Bowdoin's student
government. A plea for more salt and sand From
the amount of bleeding palms on Bowdoin students this past week,
one would think the whole campus had received the stigmata. But
rather than any painful reward for religious piety, these war wounds
have been incurred by a spate of particularly nasty winter weather.
Add "a touch of class" to dorm rooms Not to say that keg parties don't qualify as soirees or that stacked beer bottles aren't avant-garde, but you have to admit that Bowdoin could do with a greater touch of class. Always innovative, the Orient suggests a plan to offer just such a touch to student life. |
