New campus signs would be quite silly
To the Editors:
Upon returning to my off campus house after spring break, I noticed a
signpost had been put up at the end of my driveway (with a sign to arrive
soon I assume). I also noticed other such signs had been put up along
Harpswell Road that threaten drinking in public as a class E crime. I
am sure
Bowdoin students are quite aware that it is illegal to drink in public,
and
I feel that these signs are a waste of taxpayer dollars. In no way do
I
condone Bowdoin students disrupting peaceful neighborhoods moving to and
from off campus parties, but these signs will only serve to make me aware
of police presence on my way to class. As a final note, I wish to urge
my fellow students to act in a respectful manner towards our community
as they walk around at night.
Sincerely,
Steven Kemper '03
Budget cutbacks are a necessary evil
To the Editors:
I was delighted to read Tim Riemer's '03 letter the Editors taking both students to task about their naïve and "ridiculous claims and suggestions" relating to the endowment, the layoffs, and the chapel restoration. He was right on!
I was especially appalled at the suggestion to let the Chapel fall into disrepair. It first suggests that the students in question have not yet come to understand the history and heritage of the College.
While downsizing is not pleasant, it is a reality when finances dictate it. Trees do not grow to the sky. When they enter the real world of business or education, they will understand. In fact, they may very well be the ones who pull the trigger.
Sincerely,
Ron Golz '56
