READY FOR HILLARY TO SAY NO KXL: Several members of BCA stood up during Clintons speech last Friday at King Middle School in Portland to ask about her position
on the construction of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. Clinton responded, Yes, Ive said Im going to be talking about that. Itll be soon. Just sit down. She announced her
opposition to the proposed pipeline this past Tuesday.
Yes, Ive said Im going to be talking about that. Itll be soon. Just sit
down, Clinton said in response. The
protesters remained standing while
the speech continued until Clinton
again asked them to sit down, at
which point Allyson Gross 16 asked
Clinton her position on the pipeline.
What I have said is you will hear
from me shortly, and you will, Clinton responded. But youre not going to hear from me today, so dont

also sell meats, cheeses, pre-made
meals, soups, spices, pickles, snacks
and anything else local they can get
their hands on.
Food hubs, for this reason, are becoming a ray of hope in the otherwise
murky and complex food system of
the United States. They provide both
a reliable market and a marketing service for farmers, as well as a one-stop

Arctic Museum acquires 193 photos from Cold War era Greenland
BY SARAH LIM
STAFF WRITER
Bath resident Harold Grundy donated 193 photos to the Peary MacMillan Arctic Museum, which chronicle his
time at the United States Air Force Base
in Thule, Greenland during the 1960s.
Last Saturday, the collection Cold War
in a Cold Climate opened, which depicts Grundys tenure overseas where he
supervised the construction and maintenance of a massive radar installation during the Cold War.
Whenever we accept something for
the Museum, we make sure it matches our

the military presence and particularly the
Cold War defense system that was such a
big deal there.
We were interested in this because
this is the same area where Peary and
MacMillan worked. It ties in extremely
well to our collection, Curator Genevieve LeMoine said.
According to Witty, the establishment
of the American air base in Thule was a
valuable resource to the United States defense plan as the northernmost outpost.
At the height of the Cold War, Grundy
worked for the RCA Service Corporation,
which contributed to the building of the
Ballistic Missile Early System, which was
designed to give advanced warning of
missile launches from the Soviet Union.

Re: Mice in the house: Bowdoins animals in lab research (9/18)
Its unfortunate that Bowdoin College is again imprisoning and tormenting mice in cruel classroom psychology experiments at a time when
many professors are replacing the use
of animals with interactive computer
simulators and other modern nonanimal teaching methods that studies
show are more effective.
Mice used in psychology teaching laboratories are often drilled
into or injected with drugs before

If you think Americans are no
longer racist, you must have never
watched porn. Even the most mainstream, vanilla porn sites are full
of racist representations. A search
on Pornhub.com (in the name of
investigative journalism, of course)
yields the following video titles:
Interracial cuckold slave is humiliated and dominated, Dirty Latina
whore swallows cum after hot anal
sex, Asian housewife serves her two
guests, Mocha.
Feminists often discuss how pornography implicates gender. This
is important, but prejudice in porn
goes beyond gender. Porn produces
pleasure by capitalizing on all kinds
of power relationships: gender, age,
class, occupation and race. Despite
priding itself on filling every niche
of desire, most porn reenacts racist tropes that build and represent a
racist mentality. Black men threaten
white men by having sex with white
women. Asian women are docile and
subservient. Latina women are fierce
and exotic. Black women are ebony.

VULNERABLE DISCOURSE
Bowdoin has a long history of impressive and impactful alumni, and
we flaunt that history, with good
reason. I felt a glimmer of pride at
George Mitchell 45s speech last
week, and I find it a beautiful coincidence that I developed a love for
poetry at Longfellows alma mater.
Its important to recognize the rich
history of the College and to honor
those alumni who have made a positive influence. But what do we do
with the history we dont wish to
market?
I learned Franklin Pierce was an
alumnus of the College sometime
during my first year. Since then,
all Ive heard about him is that he
wasnt particularly impressive or
well-liked. However, I didnt really
take this to mean much since I dont
usually assume the greatest things
about our nations politicians. Not
until a few days ago did I learn about
the reason he wasnt well-liked.
Did you know Franklin Pierce
was an anti-abolitionist? asked my
housemate, Anthony, as we sat in the
Pierce Reading room, on the second
floor of the main library.
I really didnt have a clue about it.
And a major reason for that is my
own lack of research, but part of it
is that no one really talks about it.
Franklin Pierce was not just someone

statement, and if you are concerned
about my credentials, please reach out

communication, a skill that comes in
handy for a year as important as this one.
I love to have fun, and Ive learned that

Im fearful that people havent seen my
work ethic when it comes to responsibilities like this position. I leave you with
a simple question that should impact the
way you use your liberty of voting. How
memorable could this year be? Ones
opinion carries a lot of weight, even if
the scale may seem too large. Id rather
you vote for any of these other fantastic candidates than to abstain an action
that would take less that 2 minutes. As

The senior class presidents duties are
as follows: set direction for the class
council, help plan events that promote
class unity. Plan the kind of events that
every senior will remember for a lifetime, the kind of events that this campus
buzzes about for weeks on end. This year
is about us, and I can promise you that
I will try my hardest to make this year
memorable for us all!w
I dont think I can do this; I know that
I can do this. Ive been doing it for years.
Ive organized everything from casual
group dinners to parties, and have loved
every second of it. My only regret is that
I havent always had the opportunity to
share those moments with every senior.
As president, I will have access to organizing class events so that we all never
forget this year and no one ever forgets
the Class of 2016.
Lets cause a scene, 2016!
Robo Tavel
Hi, Im RoboI think weve met before. Its our senior fall. Were past ideas
of being cool or not cool, friends or not
friends. At this point, were family. Weve
got one more year together in this amazing place, and theres not a week to waste.
With three years of class council experience, I am ready to get things up and
running on day one. That means Senior
Nights starting the first Thursday after
the election. That means an early-year
pub crawl in Portland. That means awesome events like brewery tours, Frostys
Fridays and a Senior Restaurant Week
involving discounts at local eateries. And
that obviously means a ridiculously fun,
well-planned Senior Week to remind
Bowdoin that no one does it quite like
the Class of 2016. Since freshman year,
Ive worked with the class council to save
funds for a senior year splurge. With
more than $30,000 accumulated, its time
to cash in. So, Class of 2016, lets do it big.
David Sperber

sophomore and junior year combined!
You can expect a lot more class-wide
events tied to food, drinks and Maine
as a whole throughout the school year,
and, of course, during senior week. I also
welcome your input and suggestions as
to what youd like to see from the class

2019 President
Jack Jia
Greetings Class of 2019! My name is
Jack Jia and I am running for president
for Class of 2019.
Despite what background we come
from, we all face one challengethe
transition to college. Everyone will experience obstacles while entering this
new environment. If elected as class
president, I will dedicate to promoting a
smooth and successful transition to college for everyone by the idea of finding
BALANCE. My principle is focusing on
three major aspects: Academics, Social
and Interests. I believe a smooth transition should include equal amount of attention to all three aspects.
I have two campaign promises:
First, planning a social event known
as the first year & sophomore ball. This
semi-formal event will help us know
each other better and promote class
unity. In addition, this also connects us
with the sophomore class, which we will
spend the majority time during our years
at Bowdoin.
Second, I plan on asking President
Rose for him to deliver an exclusive
speech to our class regarding transition
to this new environment along with his
personal stories and advice.
I hope I can earn your vote and
support. Do it with Balance!
Anna MacLean
Hello! My name is Anna MacLean
and I am running for president of the
Class of 2019.
I love event planning. As student
government president in high school,
I gained extensive event planning and
leadership experience, skills that would
serve me well as your president, though
I look forward to planning more interesting (and larger budgeted) events! I
hope to plan events that promote class
unity without being ice-breakers that try
to force people to bond. With your enthusiastic support, I know we could accomplish this and much more. Student
government has always been lots of fun,
and seeing everyones enthusiasm during
successfully planned events is the best
reward.
Ill be campaigning door-to-door this
week and cant wait to meet more of you
and to hear your ideas. I will always listen
to you and am ready to advocate for you
on our class council. Id be honored to
have your vote.

of 2019. I want to be vice president because I have never been involved in student government in the past. I want this
new challenge. I want to push my comfort zone and meet new people, while at
the same time having a positive impact
on the Bowdoin community. I want to
be your representative on the eBoard
not because of Ivies. I will not declare
a vague, meaningless platform for my
campaign. I will be honest. I will listen to
the opinions of my peers and represent
those opinions on the eBoard to the best
of my abilities. I am not a politician. I am
an active student, and I respectfully ask
that you consider me for vice president.
Megan Retana
Hey, everyone! We might be good
friends, have just briefly met or dont
know each other at all (we should change
that. Really, I need friends). Anyway,
my name is Megan Retana, and I am
running to be your vice president!
The role of the vice president reads
as follows, The Vice President sits as a
member of the Entertainment Board
(eBoard). The eBoard will select bands,
comedians, and hypnotists for campus
wide events. Members also help with the
planning of Ivies. (BSG informational
email). However, I would like to make
one addition. The vice president should
not only be responsible for planning
community events and activities, but
also make sure that these events reflect
the wants and interests of our diverse
2019 Treasurer
David Berlin
Hey Everyone! I hope by now youve
seen my campaign posters hanging up
around campusyes, the one where Im
marrying a 100 dollar bill. Jokes aside,
I truly am dedicated to being elected
the Class of 2019 treasurer. For me, the
best part about the treasurers position is
how active a role I will be able to have in
helping student organizations. As treasurer, I will be a member of the Student
Activities Funding Committee, which
hears proposals from student clubs, and
determines the allocation of $680,000
to those clubs throughout the year. Im
personally excited about all of the clubs
that I joined during the student activities
fair last week, and want to ensure that all
the clubs on campus (and the ones you
may be hoping to start, as well) are able
to continue offering all the opportunities
that they do for Bowdoin students! I cant
wait to meet all of you, and hope that this
weekend, youll vote David Berlin for
treasurer of the Class of 2019!
Michael Walsh
Hello fellow classmates! My name is
Michael Walsh and I am running for the
Class of 2019 treasurer position. Before
coming to Bowdoin, I served as class
treasurer for four years in my high school
back in New Jersey. I worked diligently
with a team of students, learned the value
of creative collaboration and dealt with
financial responsibilities for my class.
This job quickly became a passion, which
is why I wish to continue representing
my classmates as treasurer here in Brunswick! If elected, I promise to advocate for
any suggestions you have. Part of what
attracts me to this important position is
that it will allow me to get to know each
and every one of you. I will always be approachable and available. I want to hear
your opinions and concerns, so I ask
each of you to vote for who you know
will get the job done! Thank you.
Jack Arnholz
My fellow First Years! My name is Jack
Arnholz and it would humble me to be
your class representative. You may say
to yourself, Who is this Jack Arnholz?
He rubs off the wrong way and he smells
like lettuce. Well, my friend that isnt lettuce you smell, its a desire to do good (or
possibly cabbage). Lets make Bowdoin
a place where all students get equal representation and attention in the pursuits
they chase. Some systems need changing. Course registration needs reform.
The current system allows for those who
understand the strategy of picking
classes to benefit. Lets replace the current structure with ranked choices. Then,
at worst, a student can end up in their
fourth choice class, not their fourteenth.
If you vote for me, Ill reward you with
progress, a firm handshake and a smile
that says everythings going to be alright.
Mathieu Bialosky
To the Class of 2019,
My name is Matt Bialosky and I am
running for the position of class representative. For those of you who do not
know me, I am a resident of Coleman
204 and a member of the mens rugby
team. I participated in student government at my high school for three years,
spending time as class and school-wide
president. The role of class representative
is focused on serving as the mouthpiece
for the class and voicing the many opinions of our diverse community to the administration. With my past experience
in student government, I feel confident I
can adequately reflect the beliefs of our
class in BSG assembly meetings to other
grades and the administration, starting
with biweekly check-ins throughout the
first year dorms. These check-ins would
allow me to better meet the grade and
learn of thoughts that are wanted to be
addressed. Please consider me as representative. I will be a friendly and confident voice for our class!
Khelsea Gordon
Hi Everyone,
My name is Khelsea Gordon and I am
running to be the 2019 class representative to the BSG. As your student representative my plan of action is made up of
three elements: outreach, as seen in the
fact that I will ensure my accessibility to
anyone who wishes to be heard. Openmindedness, because an idea or suggestion from any individual is an idea that
should be considered with the utmost
receptiveness. Lastly, knowing whom
I serve, in that I am willing to put aside
personal biases for the good of the class.
I know that my qualifications will
serve to help me in implementing this
plan. As a native of Jacksonville, Florida
in my junior and senior years of high
school I managed to raise over $80,000
for homeless students in my county
amongst other volunteer efforts which
ultimately resulted in me being recognized by the Clinton Foundation for volunteerism.
I look forward to meeting and speaking with all of you and making Bowdoin
great these next four years and beyond.
Mohammed Nur
My name is Mohamed Mo Nur and
I would be honored to be your class representative to the BSG.
I would love the opportunity to serve
our class and make an impact on campus. It has only been a couple of weeks,
but I can already see the energy and love
that we have for each other. I know that
I have already made bonds here that will
last a lifetime, and I hope that in my position, I can help you all form those connections with professors, staff and each
other. I hope that as class representative,
I can reach out and get to meet all of the
incredible people in our class and advocate and fight for you.
While Bowdoin is an amazing school, we still face problems.
Whether those issues are academic,
social or something in between, I
want to make sure that everyone in
the Class of 2019 knows that I will
try my best to address them.
I want to advocate for you all and
bring your specific concerns to people on campus that can help make a
difference. In essence, I will make
sure that your voices will be heard.
Vote for Mo!
