The ‘Cac
‘Cac Admissions Facebook Group Roundup
Remember the “official class of 20_ _” facebook group where SUPER EXCITED incoming freshmen wrote things that, most often, caused you to face-palm? If your memory is a bit clouded, you’re in luck. A new website called accepted2017.com has compiled all the ridiculous facebook posts of over-eager college newbies from all over the country. The [...]
Tonight on Jeopardy: Bear vs. Jumbo
Tonight at 7:30, Bowdoin’s Cindy Cammarn ’14 is up against Tufts’ Jed Silver ’13 in the collegiate Jeopardy semi-finals. Silver, who watches Jeopardy with his frat and plans to invest his winnings in a start-up NGO, had this to say about the presence of a ‘Cac rival: ”There’s no such thing as a rivalry at Tufts, we’re not [...]
Same Love makes ‘Cac a cappella debut
The Co Co Beaux, Conn’s all-male a cappella group, hit YouTube yesterday with a video from their spring concert of what we’re pretty sure is the first a cappella group in the ‘Cac singing Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s gay marriage anthem Same Love. Word is they received an approximately 10-minute long standing ovation upon finishing. [...]
Connecticut College, Insecurity, and Semantics

Jones will retire July 2014 rather than seeing his contract through to 2015. Rumblings of [...]
SUMMER HIT ALERT: ‘Emotional Bro’
Bowdoin band The DFP performed a cover of ‘Emotional Bro’ this Friday to raucous reception. The song was written by Bowdoin alum Mikel McCavana ‘12 for his band The Transports, but has never made the ‘Cac internet splash it was clearly destined to have. This is a song for the ‘Cac ages, poised to be more [...]
Amherst Construction Fail
If you go to Amherst, you are familiar with the sounds of drilling, banging, scraping, beeping, men shouting to each other in the early morning, and whatever other cacophony construction entails. For the past six months or so (and also last summer, when the school tore down a dorm), Amherst had begun building its new [...]
Bowdoin’s Divestment Demonstration: All Quiet On Set
Two days ago I received a press release from a group called Bowdoin Climate Action (BCA). For months, following similar movements at other schools, this group of students has been asking the college to divest our endowment from fossil fuels. As far as raising awareness, they’ve done a pretty decent job. Debate was ignited in [...]
