Greetings from across the pond
ALISON L. McCONNELL, EDITOR-AT-LARGE
There are quite a few notable differences about going to
school in London rather than good old Brunswick, as one might suspect.
Having been in London for a full month now, I feel that I've reached the
status of "Absolutely Accurate London Specialist," and can therefore
regale everyone back home with my expert insights on the topic. [read

The market and you
TIMOTHY J. RIEMER, COLUMNIST
Many people at this school take an avid disinterest in
the stock market. They believe that the actions of the stock market have
nothing to with their lives. Granted there are many students who have
money invested in the stock market in the form of mutual funds, but the
majority of people on campus, I would venture to say, feel that the stock
market has no direct effect on their lives. Guess again. The markets have
a significant effect on every single student that goes to this school
and almost every school and its students throughout the country, if not
the world. [read the article]
Where to vote on November 5th
AIMEE TOW, COLUMNIST
This Tuesday is Election Day! The Bowdoin College Evergreens,
Envirocitizen, Bowdoin Women's Association, and Bowdoin Democrats have
been working hard to make it as easy as possible for Bowdoin students
to get to the polls. In 1998, less than 20% of citizens ages 18-25 voted
on Election Day. Let's beat that record this year. There will be free
voter vans all day on Tuesday leaving from the Polar Bear and an informational
table in Smith Union providing non-partisan information about candidates.

From the Outdoor Leadership Center, a golden light glowed
brightly in the cool fall evening. Inside, a fire crackled and conversation
bubbled from small groups of people jumbled into the Beebe Room. All were
in good spirits as they gathered to celebrate the dedication of the Schwartz
Outdoor Leadership Center, the OLC. [read

The life of Casey Sills, Part III
KID WONGSRICHANALAI, STAFF WRITER
Sills' presidency spanned decades and while he was a busy
man, he found time to travel. Always treasuring the ancient and glorious
cultures of Europe, Sills journeyed there again and again. The scholar
and president saw, documented, and remembered many events and places.
Yet there was a time and place that stood out for him in the years leading
up to the Second World War. He would remember it well and as his mind
contemplated the sad, twisted irony of beauty and death, he noted it as
a lesson that the world should learn and learn well. [read

Getting your Zzz's
JEFF BENSON, M.D.
Dear Dr. Jeff: "I get 7 or 8 hours sleep most nights,
but I'm still falling asleep in class. What's my problem?" T.F. [read
