BCA created a makeshift climate camp on the Quad to pressure the Board of Trustees to meet to discuss the Colleges
investment in fossil fuels. In an effort to prolong the protest
without any restrictions from the College, BCA gave up its
charter as a student organization and its affiliation to parent
organization Green Bowdoin Alliance.
APRIL 2014
BCA presented President Barry Mills with a petition of 1,000
signatures in support of the College divesting from fossil fuels. One week later, Mills arranged for BCA to meet with the
Board of Trustees the following semester on October 17.
OCTOBER 2014
The Orient reported that the BCA petition overstated student support for divestment. Of the 1,000 signatures, only
825 were valid due to duplicate and triplicate signatures and
crossed-out and illegible names. The collected signatures
were also from two differently phrased petitions, not the singular petition that BCA presented to Mills.
MARCH 3, 2015
Mills announced that he would be BCAs liaison to the Board
of Trustees for further discussions of divestment. BCA demanded that the Board appoint a more long-term liaison by
March 6, as it was Millss last academic year. BCA would escalate its divestment campaign if its demands were not met.

voting. If more than one third of the student body votes in the referendum and
two-thirds of the voting population votes
in favor, BSG will submit the referendum
to the Board of Trustees on behalf of the
student body. As of press time, the petition has 70 signatures.
According to BCA member Jonah Watt
18, the group has long focused on divestment as the main method of climate activism on campus.
Divestment has always been our tactic,
with climate justice being our larger goal,
said Watt.
This is not the first time that BCA has
petitioned for divestment. In 2013 and
2014 BCA collected signatures from students, and instead of delivering the peti-
BCA announced that 50 students would begin a sit-in for fossil fuel divestment and to protest of Millss appointment as
BCA liaison to the board.
APRIL 1, 2015
Approximately 25 students from BCA began a sit-in in front
of Millss office. Mills was out of town at the start of the sit-in,
which was endorsed by six parents of current students and 38
alumni, including Director of Religious and Spiritual Life Bob
Ives 69, in a letter.
APRIL 3, 2015
Mills talked with the students participating in the sit-in for
over an hour. Mills reiterated the Colleges reasons not to divest and took questions from the students. BCA planned to
continue its demonstration after the discussion.
APRIL 2016
BCA submitted an op-ed to the Orient demanding that the
Board of Trustees put conflicts of interests aside and commit
to divestment. Trustee Stanley Druckenmiller responded that
divestment from fossils fuels would only be symbolic and cited his personal commitment to creating a sustainable future.

The artist who painted two fraternityera cartoon panels that were removed
from the basement of Quinby House
last year is pushing back against what he
believes is a false characterization of his
works. The paintings were removed last
winter because of student criticisms that
they embodied rape culture.
Artist James Lyon 68, who painted
the two panels in 1966 and 1967 during
his time as a member of Psi Upsilon, recently returned to campus to defend his
work against its critics, find out where
his panels were being stored and determine their future home.
Theres no sexual violence going on
in these pictures, he said.
Former Quinby House President
Sophie de Bruijn 18 initiated the effort
to remove the panels from the house
in December 2015, sending an email
signed by nine other residents to Director of Residential Life Meadow Davis,
Assistant Director of Residential Life
Mariana Centeno and Director of Title
IX and Compliance Benje Douglas.
The two murals that hang in our
basement, relics of the houses past as
the Psi Upsilon fraternity house, embody rape culture, that is, a setting in
which rape is pervasive and normalized
due to societal attitudes about gender
and sexuality. Displaying cartoon images of sexual violence perpetuates the
normalized image of rape on college
campuses, they wrote in the email.
NAKED WOMEN: One of the panels which was removed from Quinby House. Read
what Lyon and de Bruijin have to say about its many components at bowdoinorient.com.
Following the letter, house members
voted to remove the panels from the
house on February 23.
The controversy arose from the
panels content; one depicts an idyllic
beachside Quinby House with naked
women, mermaids and leering men,
while the other is a metaphor telling of
a Bowdoin students life over four years
and between fall and spring. Women are
being chased in both panels.
However, Lyon disagrees with the
way the letter represents his works. He
says the paintings represent a fun and
lighthearted representation of what life
was like at Bowdoin during the sexual revolution.
This was done in 1967, and its an
allegory, said Lyon. At that point there

Evaluating the
underrepresentation
of autism in the media
BEN YORK
AN AUTISTICS GUIDE
TO AUTISM
When I was young, I didnt know
a lot of people like me. This is not
to say that I knew no one who I had
anything in common with, but that
I knew very few people who thought
and acted in the same way I did.
There were some children among
my peers I could relate to, like the
kid I met at my local library who
paced when he was excited in the
same way I did. We once had a very
engaging conversation while circumambulating around his kitchen
table, always opposite one another,
as our mothers watched in bemusement. Or the child I met at swim
lessons who liked getting his face
wet just as much as I did (which is
to say, not at all).
These moments of connection,
while nice, were few and far between. When faced with this lack of
connection, I turned to mediaTV
shows, movies and booksto try to
find characters I could relate to
characters who were like me. I did
find some, like Data and Mr. Spock
from Star Trek (two of my childhood heroes), but they were the exceptions rather than the rule when
it came to characters to whom I felt
I could relate. As a result, I often
felt that I needed to be more like the
characters I did see so much more
often. That their behaviors and ways
of being had to become my own
that in a way there was something
wrong with the way I was. If there
wasnt, why didnt I know or see
more people like me?
As Ive grown, Ive discovered two
reasons for this seeming scarcity of
relatable figures in my life. Both
stem from issues of representation
in our society.
The first reason stems from how
society views autism. For those of
you who may not know, I am autistic. While as an adult I am very
proud of that identity, as a child I
was not. I was taught, through the
actions and reactions of others, that
autism was not something to be
talked about in public places. That
it was something to be kept secret,
hidden, only revealed to those who
needed to know. As I grew, I realized that others had received the
same message that I had. Those who
PHOEBE ZIPPER
were most like mewho shared the
same autistic experience that I had
and still dodidnt feel they could
talk about it. Many autistic people
have been left feeling isolated because of this taboo surrounding autism, a true struggle for those of us
with less than stellar social skills to
begin with.
The second reason involves the

SELF-CARE
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6
a
hard-toexplain
fun
fact that Id
brought with
me to college.
Self-care
looks different
to everyone, but
for many peopleincluding
myselfit means
taking a little time
to look after our bodies to keep them in good
working (and smelling)
order. And, like anything, this
isnt as straightforward as it looks. A
look into a typical Bowdoin students
personal care routine (even negligible ones) reveals deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, shaving
cream and any number of moisturizers, perfumes and types of makeup.
These products are all necessary for
us to take care of ourselves, but their
impacts arent just skin deep.
A closer look at your favorite shampoo, toothpaste or deodorant likely reveals that its wrapped in plastic, some
part of which may end up in a landfill
instead of being recycled. Another
look may show a list of very long compound words you might not even have
seen in Orgo I, some of which may
be linked to human health problems
such as nerve damage. Many of these
products do not have guarantees of
ethical production, meaning that they
may damage the health of producers,
factory workers and the environment.
Taking care of ourselves just got a lot
more complicated.
There are a lot of ways in which
academic and social commitments
take precedent over my own health at
Bowdoin: eating cereal for dinner or
PHOEBE ZIPPER
skipping a day (okay, a month) at the
gym are two examples. But in my effort to keep myself healthy, Ive found
that Netflix breaks arent the only way
in which I can make time to take care
of myself. Focusing on what I put
on my body is a way to be conscious
about taking care of it, and to understand more about the environmental
and social impacts of the contents of
my shower caddy. This means that I
mix my own deodorant out of potato
starch, baking soda, coconut oil and
shea butter. It also means that I spent
a lot of time smelling very bad while
I perfected this recipe and that instead
of swinging by Hannaford or hitting up
Amazon when I need more of something, I have to head into the kitchen.
This isnt for everyoneas we know,
there are an infinite number of ways
to practice self-care and be conscious
about the impacts of our actions on
the planet and ourselves. Making your
own deodorant may seem like a drastic
step to take in the face of some plastic
shampoo bottles and studies on endocrine disruption, but it doesnt have to
be dramatic, and it can be fun: I think

If you go to a lot of concerts at Bowdoin, you may have noticed the tall,
red-haired drummer who is a staple
in many campus bands: Jeb Polstein
17. Polstein plays in the student bands
Gotta Focus, Accept the Mystery, Duck
Blind and Gibson 10all of the upperclassman student bands on campus.
Polsteins love of percussion began when he received a tiny drum
set when he was four years old. From
there, he tried out cello in the school
orchestra for a year before settling on
drums in fourth grade. He was hooked
on drums, and in seventh grade, he
formed a band called Primate House
with four of his friends at his home in
New York.
Since then, hes continued to play
drums with a level of power, technique
and creativity that has gained him
recognition and has led to him becoming the most requested drummer
at Bowdoin. This weekend, MacMillan Houses annual Halloween party
was moved to Friday night so that
Polstein could play with both Gibson
10 and Gotta Focus in their back-toback performances.
Its cool that people think Im good
at drums and that they recognize that,
said Polstein. It can sometimes be
stressful thoughjust balancing things
and knowing that I cant devote as much
time and energy to each group [as]
would be ideal. I dont really say no.
Polsteins thought process varies depending on the context in which hes
working and the style of music he is
playing.
When Im hearing a song for the first
time, Im obviously thinking a lot about
what would sound cool. Sometimes my
mind just wanders and I think about
whats for lunch, said Polstein. Ill think
about playing well, which sometimes

works, but sometimes that messes you
upespecially when you are recording,
because of the pressure. Youre thinking
I have to play this note well. Sometimes
you dont think at all and thats the best

As far as style goes, Polsteins versatile skills allow him to play a wide range
of genres in different types of bands,
from jazz to rock to metal to indie.

season, captain Samantha Hoegle
17 said. Shes a very good team
player; shes also a very good individual player, and shes done a great
job balancing those two. So she herself has scored a lot of tries, but she
has also created opportunities for a
lot of other people, which has been
really nice.
According to Hoegle, Georgia
Bolduc 17 and Juliette Dankens 18
have also stood out this season, especially as theyve had to change positions due to team injuries. Bolduc
moved from nine to fullback and
Dankens from wing to nine. The shift
required both players to adapt quickly as the positions are quite different;
fullback is the the last line of defense
and nine distributes the ball out of
the ruck. However, the veterans rose
to the challenge and found strengths
in their new roles.
Fullback really lets [Bolducs]
speed shine on offense and its really helpful for our team on defense,
Hoegle said. [Dankens] is doing a
really good job passing from nine,
which has been nice, and we also have
a ton of wings on our team right now,
so its been good because then theres
more space to play more of them.
Although individual performances
are important, according to captain
Cristina Lima 17, a key factor in the
teams success is the way that returning and new players interact and play
off each other.
The returning players are doing
a good job of incorporating newer,
more developing players, Lima said.
Likewise, developing players are really stepping up and doing what they
need to do to make the team better,
so Ive really been impressed with everyone across the board.

It is also important to remember the goal of a college, which is to help
foster an environment
where intellectualism does

this environment, a one size

to spurring a rich, healthy environment in that different groups of students have different needs. As an example, colleges dont have different
athletes using the same locker room,

This strain of logic can be applied
to the many different minority and

By giving these groups a space on
campuses to meet, they are granted
