BATES FORUM VOLUME 106, Number 12 Established 1873 EDITORIALS

C.H.C.: Limited by Budget The Bates Student recently learned that the Chase Hall Committee overspent the committee's approved budget by an estimated $3,000 last year. I feel that rather than directly suggesting mismanagement or poor planning on the part of CHC, the overdraw reflects the lack of money at the committee's disposal in planning entertainment at Bates College. Bates College, because it is set in a fairly small and unprogressive area in Maine, lacks the social and artistic opportunities available in more metropolitan college locations. It is to this point that the Chase Hall Committee is forced to direct many of its endeavors. Bates College has also witnessed a large increase in the size of the student body. The 1978-1979 budget for CHC was $19,000 and has been increased only to $20,350. The increase, no matter how well the committee manages fi- nances, seems an inadequate sum with which to provide diverse and effective entertainment, particularly in an inflationary period. The need to move from "keg party" atmosphere at social occasions has been expres- sed by administrators in recent years. The student organization whose primary responsibility lies in the area of social activities is crippled by a low budget. I urge the College to increase support to college organizations developed to provide extracurricular events on the College. This move would bring Bates into step with both the times, and the progress of other liberal arts colleges of the east. — Tom Vannah Down From the Mountain
