and confuised. Anyone who has seen my I.D.

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

'For a student who may be questioning his or her sexuality, it is oftentimes a period
of constant second-guessing, dwindling self-confidence, and at times, self-hatred.
Studies confirm that teenagers struggling with their sexuality have a much higher
cide rate than their peers, an indication of the gravity of their struggle against What
society still has deemed "normal" or "acceptable."Thspeleavfit
For AndoVer to insist students exploring alternative lifestyles inform their house
counselors of their most intimate self-doubts and to furthermore participate in the par
etal system in the same way a heterosexual student would participate borders on the
ridiculous. Imagine the conversation between a questioning student and his or her
house counselor when discussing even the remotest possibility of a future partner.Al
rights to privacy would be tossed aside. 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

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.

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.
I wandered, bruised and battered, back to

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.

it makes sense to make the mediocre speakers'
lectures mandatory. Otherwise no one would

Service ASMs usually consist 'the more interesting Cspeakers-the Amnartya

ence" and ". . . was unbelievable." 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,

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. That understanding
is the greatest gift Andover gave to me.

To the Editor:
Johni Gilbert's otherwise estimable article
on the school's response to the recent national tragedy contains a regrettable error of fact.
Mr. Gilbert states that the'department of
history and social science organized Tuesday
night's panel discussion of these events. That
is not correct. The panel was organized and
run entirely by the students of the Model UN
club, led by Christina Kelleher and Travis
Pantin.
I am sorry that such an exemplary, and
timely, example of student initiative and student leadership did not receive the recognition it so richly deserved.

rural Cambodia.
"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."

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.

Returning to their dormitories this
September, students and faculty alike
noticed a change in environmental
awareness on campus.
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

and research from Instructor in
Philosophy and Religion Diane

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.

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

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.

field hockey too, but we thought that

The Playing Fields

other, green grass and two big nets'

The school organizes other activities to

ARTS STAFF WRITER
This summer students in Theater 400 made
Phillips Academy the only American seeondary school to have performed four times at
the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland.
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

about individual inter~~~~~~~~~~~pretation,"
Crivelli said.
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

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
