In a highly controversial yet somewhat predictable move, the Bowdoin College Republicans and the Bowdoin Russian Club have decided to combine their organizations.

“The merge just made sense,” commented William Pemberton, a member of the Bowdoin College Republicans. “Both of our groups have very similar goals and ideas about the future. Honestly, it was kind of absurd that we had two separate clubs for so long.”

“It’s about time,” said the head of the Russian Club Allyson Federov. “We’ve basically been running their club for a year or two now, so it’s good to finally get the recognition we deserve.”
