The Bowdoin Orient

What do Coors beer, the Bowdoin Queer Straight Alliance (BQSA), and you have in common? Much more than you would think, and a new coalition of activist groups on campus would like to tell you why.

In the past, the seasonal closing of Cote's ice cream has left Bowdoin students with few places to turn when a midafternoon or late-night sweet tooth starts to gnaw. However, the opening of two new gelato stores on Maine Street, Hattie's Ice Cream Parlor and Gelato Fiasco, has made this dilemma a thing of the past. Now the question has become whether there is enough room on Maine Street (and in Bowdoin students' stomachs) for two year-round gelato stores.

Anyone who is courageous enough to brave the crowd of students filing into Moulton Union at lunchtime is also lucky enough to be greeted by Pat Pye.

Returning alumni were not the only guests on the Bowdoin campus last weekend. Amid the soggy weather and Homecoming festivities Saturday, a large Winnebago, with "Parachute Bus" stenciled on its sides, was parked outside of Moulton Union with the aim of raising awareness about the resources available to students at the Career Planning Center (CPC).
