The Colby Oracle 2003 by Colby College Libraries

" Shortly after the War of 1 8 1 2 , Caleb B lood , Sylva nus Board m a n , Daniel Merri l l , Benj a m i n Titcomb, a n d John Tri pp were charged by the Bowdoinham ( M a i ne ) Baptist Assoc iation to ' take i nto consideration the propriety of petiti o n i n g the General Court for i ncorporation' of a literary and theological i nstitution i n the District of M a i ne , then part of Massachusetts . Si nce February 1 8 1 3, when the commonwealth's legislature approved the c h a rter for Colby (then c a l led the Maine Litera cy and Theolog ical I nstituÂ tion ) , the nation has e n d u red the Civi l War and the Great Depressi o n , u ndergone the change from a n agra rian t o a n i ndustrial economy, parti c i Â pated in two world wa rs- becoming a g lobal power i n t h e process- and a bsorbed waves of i m m i g ra nts. Colby, too, has changed. But some things that are central to the character of the College have remained . These be liefs and virtues a re the traditions that defi ne the essenti a l natu re of Colby Col lege, and it is important that they be honored and p rese rved . Self-sacrifice and perseverance, a devotion to development fou nded i n a bel ief i n the common value of every human being a re a few of the bel i efs Colbians have c l u ng to for close to two centuries . . . . we are rem i nded of a time when the handsome campus on the h i l l was l ittle more than a d ream, of the fi rst seven students who sailed up the Kennebec River in the sloop named " He ro" and bega n cleari ng the l a nd for the new college, of the men and women , who, through the i r dedication and g e n erosity, changed our l ives forever."

memory of HomerT. "Pete"Hayslett In

for forty years of teaching, advising, and inspiration

Homer T. "Pete" Hayslett

Pete was just twenty-four yea rs old when he began teaching at Colby in 1 9 6 2 . His forty-yea r career w a s marked w i t h a series of accomp l ishÂ ments and p romotions, and he was made a ful l p rofessor i n 1 9 8 8 . H i s dedication and enthusiÂ asm e a rned him the honor of being named Dana Professor of Mathematics in 1 9 9 7 . In that same year, Pete and his wife led Colby's prog ram in Cork, I re land and taug ht at the University of Cork. Pete is remembered for his energy and strength. Outside of Colby he served on the board of t ru s te e s a t Oak G rove C o b u rn S c h o o l in Vassalboro, M a ine as wel l as the Maine Audubon Society. But most i m portantly, he was dedicated to teaching and continued teac h ing even once he began facing t reatments for his i l lness. He was very much at the center of the energy and friendliness of Col by's mathematics department.

Amnesty International Amnesty International is a human rights organization working for the release of prisoners of conscience; people who are imprisoned based on their beliefs, creed, gender, political views or affiliations, race, or sexuality, and have not used or advocated the use of violence. Amnesty tries to curb human rights abuse and calls for fair and prompt trials for political prison ers and an end to torture, executions and "disappearances." This year, the Colby chapter organized a letter writ ing event, a lecture by the Northeast Regional Director of AI USA, as well as holiday letter writing events, human rights film festivals, and, of course, }amnesty. The events were successful and, all in all, it was a good year for the AI chapter at Colby.

Despite several unforseen injuries (due the ever-prevalent ringers' elbow and big C collisons), they were undefeated in the five regular season performances. Coach Jenkins places much of this season's success on the leadership of the seniors: co-captains Holly Niles and Heather Reid, along with All-Ameri cans Michelle Keady and Shannon Corliss, Lisa D eKeukelaere, Kate Hughes, and this year's Golden Bell Award winner, Kate Mann.

Colbyettes For fifty-two years, the Colbyettes, Colby's oldest all-female a capella group, have been singing. Since 1951, we've sung everything from jazz to classic rock to pop - and yes, there was even a time when we sang Britney Spears. There have been as many as fifteen of us, and as few as six, just enough to cover all of our parts. But regardless of the repertoire or size, one thing has remained constant and true throughout all these years: our love and commitment to music, and even more importantly, to each other.

Germ.an Club The Colby German Club gives students the chance to enjoy German culture outside the classroom. Since it is not required for members to be able to speak any German, the events often appeal to a wide range of students. Most of the German club's events re volve around food, including the weekly Kaffeestunde (Coffeehour), annual fondue night, and an end of the year dinner at the local German restau rant. The officers for the 2002-2003 year are Barbara Haberman, Kim Langone, Alexis Frobin, and Kyle Burke.

Martial Arts Club Colby Martial Arts took its current shape in the fall of

2000. Since then,

over three percent of Colby students have thrown a punch or a kick in this club. Our mission over the years has been, and will continue to be, to help members develop mentally, physically, and spiritually through the study of Tang Soo Do in a positive, respectful environment.

Through the commit

Megalolllaniacs Colby College's original, paramount, and only co-ed a capella group; the Megalomaniacs reign in a musical province of their own. Formed in the spring of '95 after the breakup of the beloved Tuxedo Junction, the found ing members saw their destiny in a tattered copy of the OED that lay yawn ing on a couch late one night, just days before their premier show. Written in tiny letters, masked by dirt and time, was one word that was soon to become a campus phenomenon - "megaloma nia: a mental disorder marked by in fantile delusions of omnipotence and grandeur." So were born the Megalo maniacs.

Muslilll Group The Colby Muslim Group is a student run organization that brings together Muslim and non-Muslim students on the Colby campus through organized religious and social activities for its members and the campus community. The group aims at informing the Colby student body about the religion of Is lam and clarifying related stereotypes and misconceptions. Activities include social dinners at Freedom Cafe and Pad Thai, J umma h prayer services on riday afternoons, Eid celebrations, and fasting for Rammadan (when we stumble out of bed to eat at 5 am and ravenously chow down bagels at 4 pm for thirty days).

Powder and Wig "I can't. . . I have rehearsal." This motto has always rung true for Powder and Wig, but this year it was ridiculous! Our

2002-2003

season began with an

exceptional performance of 12

Angry Men. Our JanPlan included Edgar Allen Poe's Politician and a return to the Strider stage with Raised in Captivity. Our spring season was also loaded with

Tlze Hypochondriac

and a work

shop performance of This is

Our You tlz.

Powder and Wig also inaugurated din ner theatre at Colby with its fall perfor mance of mance of

Fools and a spring perfor Sylvia. Finally, Powder and

Wig worked in conjunction with the Bates' Robinson Players to initiate the new tradition of a Colby-Bates (and maybe someday Bowdoin) One-Act Play Festival.

Project Ally Project Ally is a program modeled closely on Project Safe Zone, which is a project used by many schools, organi zations, and communities to promote awareness.

Project Ally promotes

awareness and the non-judgemental treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual, in tersexual, transgendered, transsexual, and questioning people by educating the community.

Sirens The Sirens: "The Sirens are tho e who voice to us the eternal appeal of Ro mance. They bid us over the hills and far away ... Within every man's soul and without, in all far, deep, forbidden places they range upon their quest. In their hearts are the restlessness of the sea, the hues of dawns and sunsets, the music of the sphere, the appeal of the eyes of birds and beasts. The Sirens song is the mighty invitation to the quest, and to its key every spirit is attuned subtly, responding in har monic vibrations however faint or strong." --William Marion Reedy

Symphony Orchestra The Colby Symphony Orchestra, con ducted by Jon Hallstrom, is the largest college orchestra in the state of Maine. The ensemble is comprised of students, local amateurs and professionals, as well as a number of Colby's Applied Music Associates. The Orchestra's four yearly concerts present a wide variety of music to the public free of charge. Recent performances have covered works ranging from standard classical repertoire to the most recent contem porary compostitions, including pieces from Bizet to Takemitsu.

Wind Ensemble Under the direction of Eric Thomas, the Colby Wind Ensemble reached new heights during the 2002-2003 academic year. The group performed on campus both semesters; however the work did not end there. On March 2nd, Colby hosted the first annual Tri-Band Festi val. Despite heavy snow, the wind ensembles of the CBB colleges gath ered for an afternoon of concerts. In addition to increasing communication among the three colleges, local high school students were also encouraged to attend and afterwards to ask ques tions about college life. Bates and Bowdoin plan to continue the tradition by hosting the festival in upcoming years.

CROSS COUNTRY

The 2002 Men's cross-country season was punctuated by a number of notable ac complishments. The season started strong with their top runner, Nat " Buffalo Tip" Brown, coming off a six month injury. Capta ins Just in Sukiennik and John Tyson led the way in the Mule's early season and with the help of teammates Eric Reinauer and Richard Downing the team finished 9t h at the U-Mass Dartmouth Invitational. As the season progressed rookie of the year, senior Brian Hurley, made his presence felt as he posted a 27: 1 1 at the J. Earley Invitational. The Mules finished 1 2 t h at the New England Div. Ill Champi onships with their top seven finishing faster than last year's 4t h man. Brown returned to his former glory by placing h 1 5 t and qualifying for the national championships with a 2 5 : 1 1 . Brown was MVP for the third consecutive year while Sukiennik earned most improved. The Women's team enjoyed success as well under the leadership of se n i o rs M e g an H o a r , K i m Niederberger, Rena Taylor and Ellen Whitesides. They peaked at the end of their E m i l y A re l l , s e a son. Niederberger, Wendy Sicard, Anna Sommo, Annika Svore, Elizabeth Turnbull and Liz Turner secured a 3rd place

finish at the ECAC's. The N.E. Div. Ill team of Hillary Easter, Hoar, Karina Johnson, Jess Minty, Mary Phelps, Cristina Sission and Whitesides placed 7t h , just barely missing the nationa l c h a m p i ons h i ps . Phelps went on to glory in the NCAA Championships to fin ish up an amazing season. Front runner Karina Johnson provided energy for much of the season while the new runners added character to the team. Marissa Sowles and Niederberger, as upper classmen rookies, provided support for other new run ners. The large number of freshmen runners such as Lauren Buckel, Hillary Easter, Nell Kolden, Jess Minty and Liz Turner brought an excit ing dynamic to the team. ( Tyson & W h i te s i d e s )

SOCCER The Colby Women's Socce r Tea m , has a lways been known f o r i t s work ethic and desi re . Coached by Jen Holsten ' 9 0 , Lizzy Rice ' 0 2 , and Ryan G lennon, ' 0 4 , the Mules showed that their l ove for the game could with stand any c h a l l enge . This year's of fense was lead by Captain C h ristine O ' Donne l l and s e n i o r Lauren Gre me lspacher. With h e r 1 2 goals and 3 assists this season, O ' Donnel l broke Colby's a l l time scoring record . Her 9 5 career points place her ahead of Kim W a l d ron, ' 9 9 . O ' Donne l l ' s speed and h e r abil ity to take t h e bal l t o t h e goal were essential aspects of the Mules offense. Gre melspacher, whom the team re lied on to turn and beat defenders , was second in scor ing with 4 goals and 1 assist. Captain Ste p h anie H i cks and senior E m i ly Dattwyler anchored the Mules' de fense. Dattwyler's strong defensive instincts were key as she consistently stymied opponents. At sweeper, Hicks p rovided the defense with vision and was looked upon to jump-start the offense . The Mules relied on the speed of midfielder Jul ie B rown to bring the ball up the field and c reate scoring opportunities. In addition, the distri bution abil ities of center m idfielder Stacy Thurston, combined with her a b i l ity to p l ay both offense and de fense , ensured that Colby m aintained control of the midfiel d . Kate Ligg io doubled as both a center midfielder and a strike r; her abil ity to beat de fende rs with her footwork was dis p layed time and time again. Despite the record , the Colby Women's Soc cer Tea m never gave up. Game after g a m e , p layers displayed heart and pride in the prog ra m . ( H i cks)

The 2 0 0 2 Men' s soccer season was not the most outstanding season record-wise, but it was one filled with h i g h l ig hts that the team wi l l remembe r. T h e fi rst NESCAC win against Bates and an opening record of 3 -0 with no goals scored against was a g reat way to sta rt the season. The team remained undefeated out side the conference for the fi rst time in four yea rs . The heart of the team showed most clearly in the l ast game of the season against Tufts University in which the team twice came back from one goal deficits, once with less than a minute to play in regulation, sending the match into ove rtime. The team was lead by captain M ike Jarcho and assistant capta ins Zach Shul l and Jamie Yurek and despite strong re turning players, severa l freshmen were forced to quickly make the adjustment to collegiate soccer. The teams unity was strong starting with preseason camp at the Millbrook Schoo l , and rema ined strong a l l the way throug h the senior p rank at the last morning practice. The team received strong support from fans and parents who spent just as much time on the road as the tea m . The men also owed much of their suc cess to ath letic tra iner, Bobby-Jo Shekelton, Assistant coach B i l l Coo per, and of course Coach Serdj enian and his wife Tina . (Jarcho)

Early in September at a small country club in Waterville, Maine, an eclectic group of young men gathered on the first tee box. They were not there to compete for fame or fortune, rather motivated by a pure love of the game. Just over a month later with a disappointing season coming to a close, Colby sent a fou rsome to the five-man scramble hosted by USM. The tea m did not win or even come close, but for those eighteen holes the four golfers, three of whom were walk-on seniors, played as if the fate of the season hinged on every swing. On the eighteenth tee with victory well beyond their reach, senior captain Jake Hobart stared down the fairway. As the group waited, Coach T. reminded Hobart that this was his last collegiate golf shot. Hobart addressed the ball, paused, and sent a laser down the middle of the fairway, and the fou r set off one last time in search of the perfect golf shot. Looking back on the experience, one of the golfers that day, walk-on senior Luke Ferriter, summed up his experience: " While I of course enjoyed all the golf I was able to play, I was thankful coach took me on the team because I met g reat g uys that I otherwise probably never would have encountered." 49

Both the men's and women's alpine ski teams had bre a kthrough seasons in 2 00 3 . The men's team was looking t o build on i mprovements from last yea r with the addi tion of Charlie Reed ' 0 6 to the a l ready strong roster of Robert Saunders ' O S , W a rner N ickerson ' O S , Kristian Knights '04, Captai n Noah Siebeck-Smith ' 0 3 , Tyle r Rowe '04 and Tom Richardson ' 0 3 . Saunders , Reed and Nicke rson a l l q ualified for the N CAA champi onships, and for the first time Colby sent a fu ll team of three to the N CAA's. Saunders placed eighth i n the GS, e a rning himself a n Al l-Ame rican spot. The women's team picked up more depth this season with the addition of twin sisters Abbi and Jenny Lathrop ' 0 6 , Melina M arkos ' 0 6 , Caitli n Healey ' 0 6 , and Katie Lucas ' 0 6 to l a s t year's roster of N icole Wessen ' O S , Captain J e n Santini ' 0 3 , Lydia D u rant ' O S , a n d Caroline Riss ' 0 3 . Behind t h e consistent top three fi nishes of the Lathrop twins, the women usually placed i n the top 4 . The highlight of the season was Jenny Lath rop's stre a k of slalom victories i n which she won five of the six regu l a r season races. Both twi ns q u alified for the N CAA championships and both were All- Americans in the salom and GS. ( Siebeck-Smith)

This yea r was one of the better winters for snow in recent m emory and the N ordic ski team benefited from the conditions. The women's team added some new faces to an experienced core of skiers . Ann a C a rvi ll and Kim Neiderberg e r provided sol id senior lead e rship. Both had very s uccessfu l seasons with Anna scoring 2 top 30 fi nishes including a 2 7 th at the Dartmouth carnival . K i m re turned from a yea r a broad to ski better than ever before . Kate D u rd a 'OS and Sarah Getchell ' 0 4 both retu rned, bri nging valuable carnival experience to the tea m . H i l l a ry Easter ' 0 6 , Nell Kolden ' 0 6 , and Alex Jospe '06 joined the team becoming i m m ed i ate assets. Easter was consistently one of the team's top three s kiers and had 2 top 3 0 finishes. Another new face, M arisa Sowles '06 consistently p laced i n the top three for the team and scored a 3 0th place fi nish at M iddlebury to score N CAA points. The men's Nordic team lacked senior leader ship but benefited from having n ine skiers of very comparable abil ity and was lead by three juniors . E ric Fitz '04, the top fi nisher for the m ajority of the season , was forced to miss the Williams and M iddelbu ry carnivals after contracting mononucleosis. At these carnivals, Colin Witheri l l '04, and Kris Dobie ' 0 6 , stepped up and took the lead for the men's' tea m . Adam St. Pi e rre '04, Evan Allen'O S , Aaron Blazar ' O S , a n d C a ry Fridrich ' O S , also skied wel l for the M u les. The team also benefited from the acquisition of t ra ns fer Russ Spitler ' O S , and Ezra Dore-Hark ' 0 6 . ( St. Pierre)

Without Jonathan Eck and Nick Walendziak swimming at the NESCAC meet the rest of the team came through w i t h m a n y i m p re s s i v e swims to stay competitive throughout the event. All year long, the men showed their fans and opponents that they should " Expect Big Things . " Meet after meet, the Mule swimmers displayed the tenacity that defines champions and esRyan t a b l i s h es los e rs . Con nell, Albert Goodman, Clay Smith and Eck were t h e fou r-year swi mmers leading the team. Their g raduation wil l leave the team with significant gaps to fil l . Arg uably the high point of the seniors' season was a stun ning u pset victory over rival Bates. A true team effort helped the M ules be victorious i n conThis v i n c i n g fa s h i o n . it like memory and others wi ll be forever etched i n the minds of these ath letes as the most rewarding moments of college

G swimming. For the Men's Colby Swimmin g and Div ing Team , " moisture is the essence of wetness & wet ness is the essence of beauty. " ( Eck) The Colby Women's Swim Team finished the 20022003 season with a win ning dual meet record of S losses and 7 wins. The team finished 7th at the N E SCAC c h a m p i o n s h i p meet after a three day battle with rivals Tufts and Bates. Sophomore stand out Laura Miller placed 6th at NCAAs in the 1 00-yard butterfly earning All Ameri can status. Colby had sev eral relays in the top five at the NESCAC championship meet as well as several top-eight finalists includ ing Carolyn Plant '04, Mindy Williams ' 0 3 , Kristan Jiggetts '04, Melissa Plante ' O S , and Laura Miller ' O S . Colby Women's Swimming had an extremely united and hard-working team this year, whose dedication paid off as the team thrived. With zero divers, the team was at a constant disad vantage in terms of points scored, but the mules still raced hard all season long not allowing their lack of divers to hold them back. The Women's team cer tainly stepped out of the box this year to give. (Wil I iams)

Ryan Hollett broke the sophomore record for the 5 5m Dash, and sopho more Xavier Garcia cap tured the school record in the 400m. Hollett, Garcia, and co-captain Lee Rankin, who throws the 3 5 lb weight, received All-New England honors.

Despite the team's small numbers, they still placed sixth at the New England Division Ill Champi onship meet. The team's h i g h p l a c i n g in season meets were due to the weekly outstanding perfor m a nce by senior M att Riportella-Crose and Josh

Hinojosa in the long and triple jumps, Reed Sibley in the jumps and hurdles, Pawel Brodalka in the ZOOm, and R i c h Down i n g , Peyt o n McElyea, and senior Steve Creighton in the mid-distance distance events. Co-cap tains Justin Ossolinski, Lee Rankin, and Justin Sukiennik along with seniors Justin Stempeck, Ben Pearce, Matt Riportella-Crose, and Steve Creighton added the neces sary experience to make this season so successful for the individuals on the team. The improvements achieved this year will strengthen the team in future years. (Sukiennik) Colby Women's Track and Field enjoyed two of their most successful seasons in recent memory in 20022003. At the New England Division Ill Indoor Champion ships, Colby finished a strong

third behind only Williams and Tufts. Karima Ummah '04 captured first place in both the high and triple jumps while Connie Beal '03 took second place in the weight throw and third place in the shot put. The Mules continued their suc cess at the New England Wome n ' s I ndoor Track Championships at Smith College, comprised of the top athletes from Divisions I, II, and Ill. Placing 1 3th in a field of 2 7 scoring teams, Karima Ummah, Connie Beal, Elizabeth Frederick '03, and Karina Johnson '05 all earned points for Colby. At the Eastern Col lege Athletic Conference Championship, Colby ath letes had an amazing day and finished second out of 5 1 scoring teams behind only Wheaton.

Some events, such as axe throwi n g , focu s on i ndividual competition, however most a re t e a m events. Sta n d i ngÂ block chop, for example, i s a three-person re lay event that req u i res swi ft a n d c l e a n performa nces from a l l three members. Bow-cut and cross-cut events are a l so re lay events, which demand not only strong performa nces, but good tea mwork as wel l . H a n d i n g off a saw is a bit riskier than handing off a baton , espec i a l l y when you ' re i n a rus h . Tea m mem bers a lso need to brace the wood while each team mate is cutt i n g . But most i mporta ntly they e njoy competing a n d they e njoy the sport, which is good s i nce the sport req u i res throwing a double-sided axe, c l i mbing a 3 0 or S O-foot pole, and close contact with chai nsaws . They com pete i n five i ntercol legi ate meets each year and host the Mud Meet each spri n g . The team is coed and open to all s k i l l levels.
