While my hand was cramping and my handwriting was deteriorating, I had a lot of free time to listen to anything I wanted to on the radio. I decided to spend most of the summer listening to the partisans of talk radio—Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mike Malloy, and a few others. I wanted to find out why so many found these radio shows hosts compelling.

For seniors, having a beer on Tuesday nights at Joshua's constitutes a seemingly age-old ritual unique to the culminating year of their time at Bowdoin. Like most traditions, these Tuesday night gatherings do not require Digest posts or Facebook events to accrue attendees; they just happen. But the majority of students may not know the history behind what has been one of the staples of the Bowdoin senior experience for almost 20 years.

In October, Dean for Academic Affairs Cristle Collins Judd issued a report to the Special Committee on Multicultural Affairs outlining the College's approach to improve faculty diversity. Her statement reported that faculty of color now comprise 20 percent of the Bowdoin faculty, a 10 percent rise from the 2005-2006 academic year.
