First Snow!

Hey all. We got our first significant snowfall here at Bates on Sunday. It had snowed a few times earlier in the season but we never got any accumulation… until now. Snow makes me think of skiing, skating, and good winter times. As always, Bates looks great with a fresh coat of snow. Check out [...]

Harvest Meal + Break…

More Cool Events…

Hey all. More cool events are on the horizon at Bates. After a rocking Girl Talk concert last weekend you would think Bates would not have anything in store for the student body for quite some time. Thankfully, the school understands the need to keep things fresh and is offering two pretty cool events this [...]

Girl Talk at Bates…

Hey all. Don’t be alarmed… I am not writing about the girl talk that you are probably familiar with. I don’t have much interest in the gossiping that goes on between members of the female sex and the prevalence of it on campus. I’m guessing you most likely would have no interest in hearing about [...]

Both the Bates Democrats Club and the Republican Club have been registering voters in [...]
