One BOC week to go
CECILY UPTON
COLUMNIST
There remains just one week until spring break. Spring break is often a time of sunburns and debauchery, but there are those who venture forth to revel in the wilderness, or at least the glades at some ski mountain, instead of heading for the beaches of South Florida. For the latter group, the adventuresome antsy-pants group (as they have been called) the Bowdoin Outing Club offers you an opportunity to share your experiences. This year, post-Break, the Bowdoin Outing Club will be presenting a spring break slideshow, filled with pictures of your adventures. Stop by the Outdoor Leadership Center and pick up some slide film to memorialize the ridiculous rapids you swam, the amazing peak you climbed, or the crazy cornice you jumped. Note: the Bowdoin Outing Club does not endorse any dangerous stunts for the creation of these pictures. Contact Peter Schoene (pshoene@bowdoin.edu) if interested.
In other news, there will be one more speaker before spring break to round out this winter session of presenters. The stories and adventures of Ed Webster, Gary Lawless, the Chewonki Owls, and Brian Yeaton will be hard to top, but Sue Richman will do her best as she relates her two trips to Denali, the highest mountain on the continent. A high school biology teacher from Cape Elizabeth, Ms. Richman is knowledgeable not only about climbing, but also about the biology of the area, which will make her talk very interesting. Ms. Richman will be speaking on Monday night, 7:00 p.m., at the Outdoor Leadership Center. Don't miss it!
Anther important upcoming event at the BOC is the election of officers for next semester. All those who are interested in running, or would like to nominate someone, for the positions of Co-President, Secretary, or Treasurer should contact me (cupton@bowdoin.edu) as soon as possible. Elections will be held next Tuesday night, March 5, with more details to come. As winter draws to a close (it will end, trust me), the new officers will begin to learn the ropes of making the largest student organization on campus run more smoothly, as well as implementing new ideas to make the BOC better than ever. Meanwhile, if any of you have suggestions for the Outing Club, whether it be new activities, speakers, events, questions, complaints, etc., please let us know! Stop by the building or email or call. We always are looking for new ways to improve the club.
