O OPINION
The ‘living rooms’ of campus
Congratulations to everyone for making it through the first week of
classes. It’s finally the weekend! Tonight, hundreds of students—predomi-
nantly first years and sophomores—will descend upon the College Houses.
And tomorrow, it will happen again.
To those first-year students planning on attending house crawl: this may
be your first time drinking. Or maybe you won’t drink this weekend, this
year or ever. Regardless of your choices, you will see in these two days
the nature of the College House party: eclectic dancing, suspiciously sticky
floors and speakers blasting “Mr. Brightside.”
At these events, like the many others that you may attend during the
next four years, the tenets of Bowdoin’s social norms remain: respect your-
self and others, be aware of the impact of your actions and look out for
one another. As you’ve learned during orientation, the first few months of
school are the most common times for sexual assault and misuse of alcohol
to occur.
For students who were transported in years past, what remained from
house crawl were not fond memories of a great first weekend, but a letter
home and a bill to pay. In addition, the new friends who aided in their care
may have spent the night anxious about their well-being. This is not to
scare you, but rather to remind you that there are consequences for your
actions.
Those of us on the Editorial Board distinctly remember events from
house crawl during our first years. At Bowdoin, party life is neither isolat-
ed nor anonymous. Our friends remember our actions during these first
nights out—even the friends we had yet to make. SARA CAPLAN
Consider too, how you can leave a positive impact on those around you:
