Bugle-ing through war history
TODD BUELL, COLUMNIST
My desk on the third floor of Hawthorne-Longfellow Library rests
across from the bookshelf that houses every Bowdoin Bugle, our yearbook,
since the late 1860s. I enjoy taking study breaks to peruse these
repositories of school history. They not only show timeless images
of the quad, but also changes in American culture through differences
in pictures, formats, and emphases. [read

Bin Laden's strategy
KATHERINE CRANE, COLUMNIST
Who knew how dangerous it could be to be called an infidel by Osama
bin Laden? [read the article]
Looking beyond the al-Qaeda link
PAT ROCKEFELLER, COLUMNIST
Last week Katherine Crane wrote an article in which she dismissed
much of Colin Powell's speech to the U.N., as it failed to provide
a direct link between Iraq and al-Qaeda. She missed the point, however,
as the Bush Administration is not making its case based upon that
alone. [read the article]
Rumsfeld lacks the soft touch
ALEXANDER DUNCAN, CONTRIBUTOR
I admire Donald Rumsfeld, much to my surprise. In fact, I have his
biography sitting on my desk. Never mind that it was a freebee or
that it's been there since September and I've read no more than
fifty pages. The fact is, I own it, and some day might get around
to reading the whole thing [read

Valentine's date dining destinations
KARA OPPENHEIM, COLUMNIST
Aaaah, Valentine's Day. The only day of the year that requires people
to go on a date…such a great holiday. And really, there is
no excuse whatsoever to preclude you from going out in honor of
the Day of Love. [read the

Freesport
LARA JACOBS, COLUMNIST
Luckily for us Mainers, there exists an "ultimate challenge"
that promises to test you on every emotional, physical and psychological
level: shopping in Freeport. Before you spit out your orange juice
reading this over breakfast, hear me out-shopping is not for the
faint of heart. [read the

Dressing for Cupid in lite tomato
JASON LONG, HUMOR COLUMNIST
February 14 usually brings as much frustration into the lives of
Bowdoin students as it does joy. This is the dual nature of love:
can't live with it, can't live without it. I suppose I should leave
the love-life articles to Kara, but I am tempted to do something
with the Saint Valentine's Day theme.

One for the house system
By permitting groups of up to eight students
to block together in the social house lottery, the future of the
house system promises to provide a more cohesive collection of house
leaders. [read the editorial]
New House blocking system
In the past few months, the Inter-House Council,
Bowdoin Student Government, and the Residential Life Staff have
been working in conjunction to improve an already successful House
System. [read the letter]
Don't "shhhhhh" in H and L
Last week I witnessed something that, in my opinion,
should never happen at Bowdoin. Amidst a scintillating conversation
about the proper way to address Mr. Sean Puffy Combs on the ground
level right side of H and L, (by the way, it's P. Diddy) I heard
a "shhhhh," coming in my direction from the corner seat
facing the window. [read
