WARRIORS
leads fight against eating disorders
This
past week, members of the Bowdoin community, including students,
deans, professors, coaches and alums attended various events in
recognition of Eating Disorders Awareness Week. Kresge Auditorium
was filled to near capacity on Monday evening, when Catherine Steiner-Adair
'76, Assistant Director of the Harvard Center for Eating Disorders
spoke. Later in the week, a student from the class of 2000, in addition
to deans, members of the counseling center and Dudley Coe, and coaches,
gathered with several WARRIORS members to discuss the prevention
and treatment of eating disorders. Throughout the week, WARRIORS
hosted a table in Smith Union where students could read literature
about eating disorders, take a yellow ribbon, paint a self-portrait,
and get infromation about WARRIORS meetings. PETA protest marginalizes a good cause Craig
Hansen's letter to the editor in last week's Orient implored the
Bowdoin community to follow PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals) in a boycott of CBS's Survivor. The reason? A bloodthirsty
Survivor contestant (Mike, for those of you "in the know") "brutally
stabbed" and killed a pig, apparently in violation of Australian
animal rights laws. "By not watching Survivor," reasoned Hansen,
"perhaps CBS executives will realize that Bowdoin students do not
tolerate blatant acts of animal cruelty." Silly "melon" heads, spelling's not just for kids We hate to be ones to chide. Well, actually we love it. But at any rate, it is time the Orient pays attention to a nasty habit infesting Bowdoin's pristine academic community-poor spelling. A host of rather daft errors have recently wriggled their way onto various campus announcements. |
