One way to really “see” Bates is to start looking around after the sun sets \u2014 or in this case, underground. Beneath\u00a031 Frye St. lies WRBC, Bates’ own 120-watt FM radio station.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday nights, Katherine Schell ’19 of Charlotte, N.C., Olivia Bell ’19 of Dover, Mass., and Chardon Brooks ’19 of Watertown, Mass., host their 10 p.m.\u2013midnight show, Hey, It’s Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I think it really cemented our friendship,\u201d says Schell. \u201cWe all have different music tastes which are really cool to bring together. I think all of us had music as a big part of our\u00a0childhood with our parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aspiring DJs from the Class of 2020 stop by during the segment to receive training on new radio software from Schell, who prepares them for their own shows. That includes Robyn Moss ’20 of White Plains, N.Y. and Caroline MacClancy ’20 of Northborough, Mass., who are eager to be trained for their show the following morning, The Birdhouse<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The student DJs still consult the CDs that occupy\u00a0seemingly every available wall, but for ease of use, they often use digital means to queue up songs.<\/p>\n

Moss and MacClancy decided to pursue a\u00a0radio show\u00a0after meeting a student from WRBC on Accepted Students Day this past April. “I want a place where I can just express myself,” says Moss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
