By Steve Kolowich, Orient Staff
A year and a half after a reaccreditation team identified academic advising one of Bowdoin's weak spots, the College will report its plans to improve pre-major academic advising to the Board of Trustees next weekend.
The report will mark the culmination of an initiative that began last September and has involved a number of meetings with students and faculty as well as an advising survey of current first years.
‘Breach’ investigation continues
By Joshua Miller, Orient Staff
Three weeks after Bowdoin acknowledged a "possible breach of data security" in which student Social Security numbers, health insurance information, and internal employee reviews were left accessible to anyone with a Bowdoin username, the College remains mum on what happened.
"The lawyers are advising us that until we know everything, the information we give out isn't necessarily the truth and so, what we're going to do is—and we promise we'll release everything—to finish the investigation, because it's not done yet," Chief Information Officer (CIO) Mitch Davis said.

By Gemma Leghorn, Orient Staff
Bowdoin's 208th academic year rang in a series of new policies, new buildings, and new conflicts.

Editorial
Phase II registration
For students already wounded by not getting into their top-choice classes, yesterday’s Phase II registration served them a healthy portion of salt. The inefficiencies of Phase II registration become immediately evident upon taking one’s place at the back of the line snaking through Moulton Union beginning at sunrise.

Men’s tennis upsets twice to win NESCAC
By Greg Tabak, Staff Writer
With the NESCAC final deadlocked at 4-4, the Bowdoin men's tennis team knew that it had a championship riding on the shoulders of Tyler Anderson '10. Fortunately for the Polar Bears, Anderson did not waver, triumphing over his Middlebury opponent in three sets to earn the men's tennis team its first NESCAC championship in program history.
The Polar Bears, who were ranked No. 4 in the NESCAC going into the tournament, were looking to upset No. 2 Middlebury last Sunday at the Panthers' home court.
