The Sugarloaf Conference for 1987 dealt with one of Bates' biggest prob- lems: APATHY. Students and faculty relaxed at the luxurious resort to dis- cuss the problem and make resolu- tions. S.P. Browning '89 and Professor William Corlett spoke. The Bates com- munity was fairly well represented by both those self-labeled involved and apathetic. On campus a blood drive, sponsored by the Red Cross, attracted a record number of 231 donors. Bates placed first above Bowdoin and Colby for the 1987 year. The Annual fall Clam Bake, spon- sored by the Outing Club, once again took students to Popham Beach where they enjoyed lobster, clams, and non- seafood dishes. The History Department established foreign language as a new requirement for majors. A new Loft policy was put into effect by maintenance and upheld by Life Safety Officer Dan Lalonde. Security meanwhile buckled down on those who park illegally. The fifty dol- lar charge and secret location of the towing company deterred many from repeat offenses. September culminated in the arrival of Former Secretary of State Edmund S. Muskie '36 on September 30.
