GrooveBoston tears up Bentley One Less looks to CAB breaks Halloween tradition with mobile nightclub

On Saturday, October 30, GrooveBoston came to Bentley University. Despite an early winter storm on Saturday, causing last-minute changes to the precisely planned event, the dance was a raging success. Ranging from full-body cow suits to pirates to Buzz Lightyear costumes, Bentley students attended the dance in their best costumes ready for what GrooveBoston had in store for them - a night to remember filled with dancing to great remixes such as Katy Perry’s Last Friday Night. All the fun started after braving the snow, of course. With many students running to the dance in their full costumes, not many were bundled up enough for the cold; as expected, the cold was a small price to pay for the biggest event of the semester. Many waited in line excitedly to get their offiSee GROOVE, Page 10

throw it in the opposite direction? You wonder, why are they aiming at me? Well, they are not; they are playing the new Bentley craze known as frolf. Frisbee golf (frolf) is a sport in which players throw a frisbee in an attempt to hit a target “hole” in as few “strokes” as possible. Traditional frolf courses go through densely wooded areas, and players use a range of
“clubs” (driver, putter, etc.) with different weights. Here at Bentley, for safety reasons, students use regular, plastic frisbee discs on a nine-hole course through campus. Former Bentley students Joe Stokes and Garrett Thomas have been credited with creating “Bentley Links” course some See FROLF, Page 14
This year marks the second annual Stereotype Campaign brought to campus with the original idea stemming from Tumblr. The real and tangible campaign, spearheaded singlehandedly produced by junior Ali Kane, is sponsored by Diversity Mini-Grants.

With more funding and a bigger plan for the future, the initiative looks to continue to open people’s minds and eyes. In a move forward, some of
