Big Brothers and Webcams
ACADIA SENESE, COLUMNIST
Bowdoin webcams are a novel idea, despite the fact that they are
reminiscent of George Orwell's 1984. Anywhere, anytime we can hop
on our website and check out the action on the quad, or the dining
hall for that matter. [read

Do not attack Iraq
KATHERINE CRANE, COLUMNIST
George W. Bush evidently feels that the U.S. doesn't have enough
problems. You would think that one terrorist sniper loose in the
Washington area would be plenty, not to mention one terrorist network
that we haven't managed to find, let alone punish for the September
11 attacks. [read the article]
Damaging the "purity" of sports
ALEX DUNCAN, COLUMNIST
What the NESCAC presidents did a few weeks ago regarding off-season
practices is almost comical in its hasty simplicity. In banning
all such practices due to an injury at Colby, the presidents (or
at least those present) neglected to think about their response
in any logical way. [read

D.C. sniper has America up in arms, spurs debate
GIL BARNDOLLAR, COLUMNIST
At the time of this writing, the D.C. sniper has killed nine and
wounded two, terrorizing our nation's capital in the process. By
choosing completely random victims, the sniper has driven people
in the D.C. suburbs indoors and created a climate of fear as roadblocks
and police helicopters have become common sights. [read

From Boulder to Brunswick
LARA JACOBS, COLUMNIST
For those of you winding down from parents weekend last Monday night,
you might have caught the premier of Everwood on the WB. [read

On a quest for the perfect party song
MACAELA FLANAGAN, COLUMNIST
Fact: a party can only be successful if the music is fun. When people
at a party are lame, you can simply avoid them. But when the music
is lame, you are forced to listen to it, and, chances are, have
some god-awful song reverberating in your head for the next twenty-four
hours. [read the article]
Attack Iraq
TODD BUELL, COLUMNIST
I do not say this as a way of asserting moral superiority over those
who oppose an attack on Iraq. This imminent war is not as clearly
justified as the invasion of Afghanistan was last year. This is
an attack that warrants thoughtful and reasoned debate and we should
not judge each other's "patriotism" based on opinions
in this war. However, I believe an attack on Iraq is appropriate.

Grading system still under scrutiny
Last April when the Faculty voted to change
Bowdoin's grading system, many students objected. Six months later,
dispute with the new arrangement has increased. [read

When the rainbow is enough: Act II
After perusing around campus and through Smith Union
this past week during daily routines, my eyes required several minutes
of adjustment. At every corner, I encountered rainbow streamers
and signs exclaiming "Gay Friendly Space."[read

Finding the unexpected right here
Upon reading "Experiencing the Unexpected,"
a feature in a recent issue of the Orient, I found myself wondering
why Todd Johnston, along with many other curious Bowdoin students,
seek these unique experiences in such geographically remote places.

Barroom tactics in funded research?
Academic freedom and rigorous scientific debate are
cornerstones of our American education system. For this very reason,
students, faculty and administrators alike have a duty to ask hard
questions about oil industry-funded research at Bowdoin College.
