When the registration process was cornplete, I rejoined my parents, who informed me that we were now going to my dorm to Move me in." Although the friendly smiles and polite attitudes of the upperclassmen helping me transport my possessions from the car t my dorm room managed to dupe my parents, I wouldn't be fooled.

The sound grew progressively louder as the car rolled farther and farther down Main Street. It was the sound of dozens of screaming teenagers and blaring Guns and Roses music. It was the sound of orientation I began to tremble in anticipation of wa kind of cruel and unusual acts of torture lay ahead of me. As sweat began to gather on my forehead, I reasoned with myself. "Maybe it won't be so bad," I thought. If I only knew.' After our arrival, on campus, my parents and I were directed to Morse Hall, where we found, along with the pungent smell of an aging math building, many other fresh-faced new students, most of them looking just as nervous as I. As we entered the line for registration, I clung to the sleeve of my mother's coat, only to be informed that parents were not allowed into the registration room.

Thbough such a policy boasts admirable intentions-it would, after all, legitimz suethm exaity in as far as school rules are concerned-its effects would prove to be adverse in the long un. ito In addition to its verarching shortcoming in the abstract, the policy i ll suited PA life for the numerous technical ambiguities it presents. What, for example, would house counselors do about publicly displayed parietal. sheets as they are in some dormitories? What would happen when two students inside the dormitory are romantically nvlve-aparetl eer tie hedoor's lyevery involved-a time theparietal threshold is crossed? Would a student belits required to tell his or her house counselor if engaged in any homosexual relationship? If so, then would heterosexual students be required to do the same? Amidst such gn uine'concems, it is difficult to decipher what is fair or unfair to whom. Fortunately, the sentence has been relegated from the pages of this year's Blue Book, but even the idea of its consideration in years to come demands we address its flaws now. -C.H. ou pWti 45- At the finish of the meeting, all new students proceeded to the Great Lawn to join up with their Blue Key groups. After doing so, I stood spiritless and watched the Blue Keys from each Quad scream and cheer. After this failed miniature pep rally, we split up into smaller groups for what was to be the most horribly unbearable part of the entire orientation process: name games. I have a strong dislike for many things, but I doubt I will ever find something I loathe quite as much as name games. And may I also add that using 'duck-duck-goose' as a name game simply doesn't work. After being wrongly called several names, including Juan, Alex, and something I can't pronounce, I began to try and devise an escape plan. Thankfully, I was not able to put my repeated viewings of The Shawshank Redemption to use, because my Blue Key told me it was time for the parent-student reception.

We all realize that no government is perfect, not even that of the United States. The government has mrade numerous mistakes, as has every person. But now is not the time to criticize our President or our other leaders for doing their best. Just for once, I hope we can all support our government and the unfortunate military actions necessary to secure a greater, more Peaceful, enlightened future for humankind. Stephen Fee '03 - Munity by forcing us all to snuggle together, butt to butt, in unanimous laughter and tears,. But let us first examine this strange creature known as the ASM. All-school meetings also have a tendency to fill dead space with dead speakers. Rarely are the more engaging speakers scheduled for, ASMs. Cultural and ethnic clubs, for example, seem to feel a compulsion to bring in a speaker no matter what. All too often their criteria is only being a successful adult of their ethnicity/race who is willing to proclaim that hWs success is in spite of his ethnicity/race. Incidentally, sometimes the best Eskimo accountant doesn't make the best Eskimo speaker. Tefeun ceuigo akec speakers at ASMs is suspicious. I suppose that it makes sense to make the mediocre speakers' lectures mandatory. Otherwise no one would come.

Not to generalize. As pure and big-hearted as the speaker's intentions might be, his speech is so boring that he can't even entertain a doubt. The following week the school will be indulged with the Cultural Club format, which can be hit or miss. Maybe I'm a cynic, but usually miss. This format often circles the drain as well, piling on artistic performances that approximately one two-billionths of the school can actually see. I personally find some of these performances insulting, as they often rely on playing up recognizable stereotypes in order to entertain. Often these meetings will throw in a scrub team speaker, but I'll get to that later. The following week will include a tearjerking lecture on inter-backpatting and brotherly love and vigilance, a series of runny announcements, an organ tickling, and a final prayer that is almost always initially forgotten by the emcee. The following week's PleaseDon't-Let-Us-Wither-Away-And-Die Club format aims to nurse a club with shriveling attendance back to health. Unfortunately, by the time this sickling steps up to bat the student body cannot process the word "club" without the parasitic phrase "free food." And yet this community-gathering time Denying the more coveted speakers an ASM appearance only makes it more difficult for students to be present at lectures they are eager to attend. Last spring when I tried to get prestigious New York Times Op-Ed columnist, former theater critic, and author of the recent memoir Ghostlight Frank Rich into a 2002 allschool meeting, I was told that every meeting was tentatively booked and that it'd be most convenient for him to lecture on a Friday night. In winter. What an audience this gem would rack up. Why pad shorter meetings with boring presentations and zoned-out guest speakers when the meeting can be shortened, anyway? Meetings shouldn't have filler-content. No tears will be shed if students have an extra fifteen mmnutes to grab a bite to at, cram for a math quiz, or engage in "reflection." Maybe I'm whining. But I'm entitled to, with all the hot air the school pumps into their lectures-ASM or otherwise-about using time efficiently. Perhaps if ye readers complain too, we can improve community mandatory fun time. ASMs' only appeal shouldn't just be having one less class-worth of work due on Wednesdays. Remember, if we all whine a little, we can do a lot. instead. Yet even then, nineteen students admitted to being victim or witness to attacks. In the face of Groton School trying to hide the truth, Zeke made a public announcement of the molestations a month after the headmaster originally received the reports. It was only then that the school sent out the letter to parents, that we had urged, but used vague, minimizing vocabulary and did not really explain what had been graphically reported. And in retaliation to our son's public statement, Zeke's English teacher took him aside and called him "fucking stupid and aogant for suggesting that what some find pleasurable, you (Zeke) should judge to be wrong," This teacher, besides missing the point that the victims were held down against their will, immediately gave Zeke a drastic drop in grade for his most recent work. Zeke was a top student whom the school described as "an academic leader" and "a young man of integrity and grace."~ This same teacher sent more than forty pages of reading material with a requirement for ten to fifteen written pages of work only days before graduation. This teacher, by the way, was one of those chosen to interview students about molestations on campus. Most tlling of all was a meeting held with my wife and myself as well as parents of another molested child, Headmaster Polk, Hardwick Simmons, who is president of Groton's trustees, and our respective lawyers. In front of this group Mr. Simmons stated that he believed our son participated willingly in the sexual molestations and only in retrospect did he think it wrong. To our disbelief, Mr. Simmons also told us, "Your son is playing a man's game now." When my wife and I first spoke with Headmaster Polk, he told us that there had the balance. Many students decided that remaining silent was their only safe option. Since last year, Groton and its headmaster have been under a grand jury investigation. The true story will eventually come out, as truth always does. As you go on in the world you'll discover the unfortunate fact that doublespeak, hypocrisy, and even lies do exist. If-the education you are receiving at Andover has any meaning, it is for you to learn to stand up for truth and to fight against what you know to be evil and unjust. All of the important lessons students study from history and great works of literature to other subjects, including sports, have only truly been learred if those lessons are applied when the need arises. They are not just someone else's story or a way to get a good grade, but rather, a guide on how to live your own life.

"Our pilot school in Robib village, which is hours away from any town or city via treacherous roads and is one of the most remote locations in the world, is special for it is linked to the Internet with a satellite dish," exp lained Schlemmer. Consequently, this Internet link has th roup to implement two loe t loe new and groundbreaking programs in the village. The first such program is Villageleap.com, an e-coinmerce project aiding in the improvement of the economy of the village of Robib. The project markets the handmade silk scarves made by the loc al villagers, and all of the profits go back to the community to assist in the town's growth and development, Members of the community were trained in weaving, and now have a prospering sales business, even though they are located in one of the most remote areas of Cambodia. Schlemmer's other charge, the Telemnedicine Project, is ane innovative program that has brought extremely poor health care to the forefront of the medical world through the graces of technology, Cambodian nurses travel to Robib every month in order to meet with and care for sick villagers. To do so, they take pictures of the various ailments and file medical reports, which are then sent to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Soon after, the doctors respond with the diagnoses and the patients are treated accordingly. Schlemmer explains that his own experience as a student at Andover has affected his current life abroad. "Andover is blessed with a vibrant international commu'nity of students and professors. It is this element that probably makes Andover so valued and esteemed," he said. He also feels that the daily exposure to Andover's vast international culture has been most beneficial to his career. From his extensive pool of international and community knowledge abroad, Schlemmer was able to offer advice to current Andover students: "First and foremost, relax and enjoy all the various opportunities. In planning your future academic and career paths, try not to lose sight of your ultimate goal, to make yourself happy and not others, Make your education work in a way you want it to." He continued, "Take a chance and have fun, and by all means study abroad while in college." vr uh toa."amoin respect Americans and our current international efforts, despite Amnencan bombing raids on their country during the Vietnam War," said Schlemmer. "The best part of my job is being able to tell children that they will get to have a new school and study computers. The light in their eyes is truly unbelievable," he continued, Schlemmer, who is in charge of the Cambodia Rural School Project's main project of building schools in a number of rural towns, is also spearheaded two sub-projects: Villageleap, an e-commerce economic prosperity plan, and the Telemedicine Project, which brings modem medicine and technology together to bring the necessities to numerous Cambodians.

In addition to a new responsibility for proctors and prefects to take charge of recycling within the dorms, there has been a grater emphasis on recycling put forth by Dean of Students Marlys Edwards, most notably in a trial collaboration with the town of Andover. Students surfing the Andover website may have noticed the additional. information provided by the Recycling at Phillips (RAP) group about recycling on campus; such a focus on recycling is by no means a novel concept for Phillips Academy. For the twenty years that Director of Business Services Susan Stott has worked at PA, she has played a large role in keeping Anidover environentally conscious. Mrs. Stott, who is also active within the school community as the www.andover.edu/parp, the group aims "...to increase awareness about recycling.. .to increase the amount of paper, cans and bottles recycled campuswide... [and] to decrease food waste." The RAP students added to campus awareness of environmental issues by putting up posters, developing their recycling website and creating a student survey to gauge existing campus sentiments about recycling, RAP member Jennifer Wong '03 a major part in drafting the survey. Its objective, she said, was "to see how much people care about recycling ...to motivate people to change." Wong, who joined RAP last spring, was particularly interested in how much is being consumed on campus in terms of food and of paper. 'Although the school has wasted large amounts of food in the past according to measurements from Mrs. and research from Instructor in Philosophy and Religion Diane Moore's "Nonviolence in Theory and Practice" class last year, a new comnposting effort is now in full swing. paper recycled by the school h~as gone up. Between 1993 and 1994 for example, 60.0 tons of paper and cardboard were recycled, and in 2000-2001 the amount grew to 127.2 tons. Mrs. Stott admits that she would like to see the school increase the paper recycling by 50% this year, and believes that the school can accomplish it. The town of Andover itself has made a conscious effort to focus on recycling as well. Currently 33-35% of the town's Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is recycled, but the recycling program in Andover has set a new town goal of recycling 46% of its waste, perhaps spurred on by Massachusetts' own environmental awareness. .Though Massachusetts was reported to export 1.5 million tons of garbage to other states each year, a meeting in December of 2000 of the state legislature determined new goals to reduce waste by 20% over the next nine years and to absorb all of it's own trash. In Massachusetts towns like Andover, weekly or bi-monthly In September of 1995, boarding students were provided with blue recycling baskets and sheets of information explaining what can and cannot be recycled, and by August of that year, Pepsi agreed to pick up cans from recycling barrels next to the machines. During the spring of the preceding school year, recycling bins were placed next to every desk in every office and classroom on campus for recyclable materials. According to Mrs. Stott, the bins in the offices have -proven to be extremely effective since their initial installation on campus. On the other hand, dormitory and classroom recycling, based more upon dorm and personal initiative, have proven somewhat less effective. Mrs. Stott plans requesting that one faculty member in each classroom takes responsibilit y for setting up a weekly recycling collection system. In terms of dormitories, Mrs. Stott has found that recycling works when the boarders take it upon themselves and feel responsible for the environment.

To support the academy's desire to be as unified with nature in as many areas as possible, students grow their own vegetables and herbs that are eaten and served at meals. The school organizes other activities to animate the daily routine. "They really try to expose the students to artists who come in and work with them. They do a lot of field trips with the students and have athletic events. It's not just about the visual arts," says Ms. Crivelli of life at Oxbow. "They work with different aspects of the school. They go to school, go to classes, do their studio work. It's a real total environment," she added. The developing campus in Napa California, an hour north of San Francisco, already possesses and continues to add beautiful facilities.

At this year's festival, PA performed a piece of "physical theater" called Parabox. Unlike anything PA has preformed in previous years, the production was a comp letely original work, created by PA students. During winter term, students enrolled in Theater 400 worked on their own improvisational pieces, which they rehearsed outside of school during the spring. They also spent time working with a theater troupe from England called Hoipolloi. "Parabox" was a. semi-autobiographical work, dealing with the conflicts between free-dom and restriction, the individual and the ~ommunity, and technology that man has developed and nature. Students brought their own personal experiences to the stage. Instructor in Dance Judy Wombwell, d ctor of Parabox, found working with the students a continuously interesting process. "Each person has the ability to be creative," said Wombwell. Parabox was first performed at Andover in the spring. The show then toured in Vermont, where it underwent intensive reworking before moving on to the festival in Scotland. August's final product was very different from the show first performed in Andover. Several minutes were cut in order to meet the time requirements in Edinburgh, where only two hours are allotted each group for preparato~n and performance. Although schools go to the festival to perform, the real thrust was not the performing, but the festival experience as a whole. For cast member Boo Littlefield '03, the trip opened up a completely different perspective. Over the course of the trip, people who had been virtually strangers became almost like family, she said. The Fringe Festival takes place at the same time as the more established Edinburgh Festival, which ranges from theater and dance to film and books. Although the Edinburgh Festival'boasts bigger names and more professional companies, over the years the Fringe Festival has experienced tremendous growth. The atmosphere of true "theater immersion" at the Fringe Festival is incredible. During the festival there are 16,000 performances of the 1,350 shows in nearly 200 venues across Edinburgh. The~ festival creates an environment where people revel in culture, "Almost everyone you meet is there for the theater and art, eople in the street are actors, everyone is passionate about the shows, said ~~~~~Wh N&N, ~ '~~ .

STEAL Over the course of the past three weeks, various classes have helped set up their interpretations, of some of the works, which include a piece by prominent avant-garde Japanese artist Yoko Ono. Instructor in Art Emily Trespas's Art 200 section of juniors, for example, helped to put together one room in particular, an area devoted to Alison Knowles's "Homage to Each Red Thing." The premise of this piece is to fill a room with as many red objects as possible. Members of the Art 200 class "talked about how to divide the space, with the color and the scale," said Ms. Trespas. Other groups participating in the layout of the exhibition include Ms. Trespas's printmaking class and Instructor in Art Fran McCormick's Visual Studies sections, who lent a helping hand with-Emilio Prini's piece, "1968 e 1971 Scntte Che Restano Scritte." translated as "Writings ThatRmi Wnitten." This work, in the words of Ms. McCormick, features "a text in Italian which we [my Visual Studies classes] were to translate into different languages and then print onto lemon-yellow paper with green text. We talked about the paragraph and then they [the students] prepared the paper, printed it. tissue-collaged it, and played with its lemonyellow color." The quotation. which is displayed in the exhibition in such languages as Chinese. Hebrew, Braille, binary code, French, and Arabic, also bears a special significance-with the events occurring a cross the globe in the aftermath of the September 11 tragedies. "I found it very moving to be doing this project [with languages] when classes started .. it was, also meaningful to the students," McCormick said. A sample of other interesting pieces in "do it" include "Wish Piece," originally by Yoko Ono, a place where the students and the audience will be able to make their wishes," said Crivelli. Rounding, off the litany of fascinating works is a project in which a newspaper is repeatedly constructed and then taken apart. As one of the last major components' of this ambitious exhibition, PA's Chris McDonald '02 hopes to present a musical performance in the spirit of "do it" at the end of the fall term that would be a collaborative effort between performers and the audience. He has also composed two choral pieces that "Ighb"prome n scrrnl ok ing on an electronic piece based "on the opening of the show," he said. "do it" is an exhibition with high hopes and attainable goals. Drawing together multicultural influences and artists from all over world, the project will certainly have a cosmopolitan touch. Inthe end, however, it not how the artists view their original works, but how the audience views them. What "do it" boils down to is, according ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to Ms. Crivelli, "your participation, your interpretation."
