Women’s soccer rebounds from back-to-back losses.

Framingham State University launched a new website on Aug. 23, with the main goal of making the site more responsive, according to Director of Education and Interactive Technologies Robin Robinson.

Sara Mulkeen, web content coordinator, said the old website “wasn’t responsive” and didn’t work well on smartphones and tablets.

Mulkeen said the website has “so many different audiences” and that “it’s kind of our public face to the outside world.”

She added that administrators wanted a website that was not only “engaging to that external audience,” but also “usable for the internal audiences.” The old website had “great information” but didn’t “tell the story of Framingham State.

“It didn’t really give the public a good idea of what actually goes on in the everyday life of the campus.

“It was really a restructuring that

we wanted to do of the navigation, and how people interact with the site, and we wanted to make sure that we were building it so that it made sense to all different user groups,” said Mulkeen.

The primary user group that was focused on during the redesign was prospective students, according to Robinson.

She added while the web team recognizes that current students, faculty and staff use the website as well, it’s not what is driving the design changes.

“Some of the in-house terminology changed. There was a lot of conversation around continuing education, and what does that mean. From an outside perspective, you have no clue what continuing ed is, because it’s a very broad category,” said Robinson.

The total cost of the new website was $188,000, according to Robinson. iFactory, the company hired -See NEW WEBSITE page 4

Virginia Rutter discusses “Families as They Really Are”

New responsive FSU website introduced

By Alexandra Gomes news ediTor

Since 2014, the Food Recovery Network has collected nearly 2,500 pounds of leftover food that would have gone to waste, according to FSU graduate student and chapter founder Meghan Skeehan.

According to the Food Recovery Network at FSU Facebook page, the chapter donated 3,831.3 pounds of food last year.

The group has not delivered food yet this semester, according to junior nutrition major Jenna Corsi, a member of the FSU chapter.

Director of Dining Services Ralph Eddy said the network on campus is part of a larger national organization. Three students at the University of Maryland founded this organization in 2011, and chapters soon emerged across the country, according to the network’s website.

FSU Sociology Professor Virginia Rutter presented the U.S.’s shifting family forms over the past five decades to a packed audience at the CELTSS (The Center of Excellence in Learning, Teaching, Scholarship and Service) sponsored Lyceum Lecture on Sept. 24.

The change in parental employment led to a $1.7 trillion decrease in nationwide output. Rutter said this figure is “roughly equivalent to combined U.S. spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in 2012.”

Rutter’s presentation focused on the constantly evolving family forms found in America and how they are changing the nation.

“I’ve done research and writing on a lot of topics relating to family and a lot of writing advocacy on family policies and economics,” Rutter said.

She added that the images found in her 2015 edited volume of “Families as They Really Are” “changed my mind and my work.”

Images of diverse family forms were shown to the audience - parents holding their adopted child, multi-racial married couples, same-sex couples with their children - helped put faces to the family forms in America that are often ignored or marginalized in the United States.

“Nostalgia and traditional values,” Rutter said, often create “struggles around the various issues that come up around families.” These struggles, she said, “do not just cloud popular discourse, it can cloud academic discourse ... when we talk about families.”

Though many Americans may still cling to the nostalgia of a traditional family, the graphs presented by Rutter showed a country -See VIRGINIA RUTTER page 11

What is your educational and professional background?

I went to Framingham State as an undergrad, actually. It was Framingham State College then.

I graduated in 2008. I was a psychology major and an English minor here. After that, I took a year off from school and I worked at the Veterans’ Hospital in Bedford doing more clinically oriented stuff. I worked with veterans who were recovering from addictions.

After that, I went to graduate school at Clark University and I moved into social psychology.

I finished my degree there this past summer.

OCTOBER 9, 2015

Margaret Campbell Obaid Psychology Professor

What are some of your accomplishments?

Professionally, of course, because I just finished my dissertation, that feels like the most salient one right now. I defended it in July. Beyond that, I have done quite a few different research projects. One of them got some media coverage. I don’t know

What do you do outside of teaching?

I have a 6-month-old son. He takes up a lot of my time right now. … I also love reading. English is one of my other loves. I’m in a book club with a bunch of my friends. I used to play co-ed rec soccer. … I like getting outside, hiking.

What courses are you teaching right now?

This semester, I’m teaching General Psychology and Social Psychology. In general, I’ll be teaching classes in the social/cultural area of psychology for the most part.

What class would you advise all students to take?

How would your students describe you?

That’s a hard question! I don’t know how they would describe me. I know how I hope they would describe me. I think in general I try to be respectful of students and their viewpoints. I try to be engaging, try to get it so it’s not just me talking to them, but them also contributing to the class and being more engaged. I think that I, especially in certain topic areas, get very excited, so that probably comes across.

What topics are you most excited about?

My area of research is intergroup relations and political psychology. … A lot of what I do is looking at people’s religious beliefs and how they relate to their political attitudes. … I teach General Psych, and the great thing is I’m forced to go out of my usual area.

It makes you fall back in love with General Psychology.

to getting to talk more one-onone with students and helping them find the areas of psychology they are passionate about. I love teaching. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. Even before I knew I loved psychology, I knew I wanted to teach. I love being in a classroom with students. I love seeing students getting excited about topics, finding their own avenues to pursue and branching off on the things we’ve talked about in class.

Brad Leuchte/The Gatepost

if that makes it a bigger accomplishment, but it was exciting to get interviewed and to have that covered in New York Magazine.

And, it was in Scientific American. It was on people’s beliefs about good and evil and how that relates to their political attitude about diplomacy and war.

It got picked up a lot in terms of the Syrian conflict. … I also have done some conference organizing in the Peace Psychology Division of APA [American Psychology Association], which is a lot of work, but a lot of fun, too.

What would you say the best part of your job is?

Definitely working with the students. I haven’t done a lot of advising yet. I’m looking forward

A lot of people do end up taking General Psychology, but as a psychologist, of course I’m going to pick a psych class. General Psych is great because you see the breadth of psychology. I love all of it, and I think all of it applies to all of our lives. In General Psych, even if students don’t fall in love with the whole course, they’re going to find areas of psychology that speak to them.

What would your advice to FSU students be?

I would say the more you can get involved in the campus community, the better. I know we have a diverse student body, and that it’s more challenging for some people. When I was a student here, I worked full time. It was difficult to be in all the clubs I wanted to be in. But I would say really try to find one group, and maybe that’s a group of people within your major you connect with. Maybe it’s the student activities board, but find some way to be part of the community because I think that makes the experience a lot better.

Sodexo donations - Continued from page 1

When Skeehan came to FSU, she wanted to volunteer somewhere local and learned of the Food Recovery Network online.

Taking matters into her own hands, she approached Sodexo with a proposal to form a chapter of the network on campus.

She said Dining Services was “definitely supportive” of the idea, and in the fall of 2013 she began the process of founding the chapter. The first recovery took place the following semester, with Skeehan and a few others picking up and delivering food from Dining Services to local shelters, food pantries and soup kitchens.

Of the students’ efforts, Eddy said, “They’re the ones that donate their time. … That’s commendable.”

He said any food left over from meals is packaged and frozen, and then volunteers pick it up once each week and deliver it to those in need around Framingham.

Skeehan said she and the other nine volunteers have delivered as little as 15 pounds of food and as much as 250 pounds in a single week.

“Everyone’s very appreciative,” Skeehan said of those who receive the food, although those at

Since 2011, volunteers have recovered 892,291 pounds of food and have 150 chapters in the U.S., according to the network’s website.

Anxiety main reason behind students seeking counseling

By Arianna Miller sTaff wriTer

Anxiety has surpassed depression as the leading reason FSU students seek counseling, according to Paul Welch, director of the FSU Counseling Center.

In the last four years, FSU’s Counseling Center’s numbers remained steady at 450-460 students seen a semester, according to Welch, which equals about 3,000 visits a year.

“The number one reason people come in is anxiety. It is the number one mental health problem for students,” said Welch. Depression was the number one reason in the past, but anxiety-related issues are more common now.

At the center, students can meet individually, with family members or with a significant other, said Welch.

A junior at FSU, who asked to remain anonymous, said, “I went there a few times at the end of my first semester freshman year. I was having a very hard time handling a professor. Everyone there was super nice and helped me get through the issues I was having without making me feel bad about my emotions.”

Students can be seen by a social worker once a week for four consecutive weeks. Then students can be seen every other week. This allows students to come all year long if they want to, said Welch.

Brooke O’Connell, a senior at FSU, has been using the Counseling Center for two years.

“They helped me define where I was going with my life and what I wanted to do,” said O’Connell.

A junior, who asked to be identified as Kat, said, “It’s been nothing but good there. I went there freshman year when my Foundations instructor recommended I see someone. So I did, and I’ve been seeing a counselor ever since.”

According to Welch, people are more open to seeing a counselor in recent years “which I think is great.

The stigma has gone down.”

go, but I bet it would’ve been helpful at the time.”

Megan Muise, a junior, said, “I didn’t really have anything wrong with me, but it’s great to just go in and vent or talk through what’s currently going on. Having an outside mind being able to help you think things over and prioritize really brought down my stress.”

While there are currently no active group sessions, the center is open to offering group counseling to students, said Welch.

The Counseling Center has six offices, so the counselors can only see six people an hour, according to

The Counseling Center is located on the second floor of the Health and Wellness Center in Foster Hall.

There are nine counselors on staff, including three graduate students in social work from Boston University and Simmons College, one nurse practioner, one psychologist and four social workers.

Welch does not believe the center needs to expand. He is happy with the the location on campus and the privacy it offers. The Counseling Center has an adequate space for its needs at the moment,

She has never used the services at the Counseling Center before.

New Website - Continued from page 1

to help design the site, was paid $90,000 for its services. The content management software cost $59,000 for three years. Hosting the site cost $39,000 for three years.

Executive Vice President Dale Hamel said the cost of the website was “funded out of college operations, which means student fees.”

The website redesign project started in the fall of 2013, according to Mulkeen, and a company was hired to help design the website in the fall of 2014.

A website management team, made up of the internal web team, faculty and staff from across campus was created to oversee the project and pick a company to help launch the site, according to Mulkeen.

The team picked iFactory because the company “understood our vision” and could provide a quick redesign, said Robinson. The redesign involved a new homepage, which was launched in the fall of 2014. iFactory provided templates and an HTML code for the web team to use to build the website.

“It was a lot of consultation that we paid for,” said Robinson, “that informed how we needed to move forward.”

Other companies that bid on the project would have cost between $40,000 and $200,000, said Mulkeen.

An oversight council, which was made up of the executive team, was responsible for making “large money decisions” and overseeing any major choices, according to Robinson.

Four focus groups were created to cover all levels of people who interacted with the site, said Robinson. They were made up of alumni, current students, the web management team and admissions. The focus groups helped create the menus and navigation system of the site.

Decisions were made to change what was posted in the navigation, and it was grouped “according to what people found to be the common path we would take to reach a certain point,” said Robinson.

Open labs were held for students and faculty in January, during which time people went through a site map test, according to Robinson. The information was also used to help create the navigation system.

Labs were also held over the summer every Tuesday and Thursday to retrain over 120 people who are responsible for website content on the new content management system, said Mulkeen.

She added the web team provides the tech support and content management that is used to update the website, but there “are over 120 people on campus who actually do the updating. Each department maintains its own website content, so this project was not only a re-

design of the website, but we also switched our content management system based on iFactory’s recommendation and what we wanted to accomplish.”

He said he had tried to locate information he needed and “all that ever happened is I would click on one thing and it would sort of loop back and bring me back to where I had started.”

He added he had recently checked out the website, and it seemed “to be functioning the way

“We recognize that it’s not perfect, and it never will be, quite honestly.”

-Director of Education and Interactive Technologies Robin Robinson “So it was over a six-week period that the pages actually got built out. Every week, I would send out communication to say, ‘There’s five weeks left. Have you built out your pages today?’”

Robinson said when the web team started the project, they had a list of 25 things that needed to be included in “the rollout” and every one of them was met by deadline.

She added, “We recognize, however, that for internal audiences it is a culture shift and it was an adjustment when people came back. … Overall, I think people have been happy with the website. If anyone has a recommendation for changes, or finds a problem, we ask that they email it@framingham.edu because we’re always open to hearing and improving.

“We recognize that it’s not perfect, and it never will be, quite honestly.”

Jennifer Dowling, a graphic design professor, helped design the communications arts department’s main page as well as its faculty page. She also worked with the Graduate and Continuing Education office on its home page.

She said since she was design-

“customized,” and when designing the communication arts department’s main page, she “tried to make sure the students - prospective or current students - could find what they needed on the site.”

She added she tried to embed links within text so “it would be easy for someone to find, say, our communication arts application.

Whereas if you just use the standard layout, sometimes you have to scroll down the page a little too far to find what you need.”

The size of the font is also a problem, said Dowling. “It’s very difficult to fit information without feeling like - it’s almost like it’s magnified, visually - it’s very hard to have a page where you’re not scrolling endlessly to find the information.”

Dowling said if font size was smaller, there would be more room for text and pictures, and people would be able to navigate individual pages more easily.

The website is responsive, according to Dowling, and the site sizes itself to mobile device screens. “But because the font size is so large in the default design of it, when you view the preview for

it’s supposed to be.

“The bottom line is we had this extended period, far too long, when all manner of people could not access the website and get the information that they normally expected to have available to them.”

Derrick TePaske, chair of the communication arts department, said in an email that the faculty in his department appreciated “that many people have worked long and hard” on the site, but they have “great frustrations” with it.

Those frustrations include broken links, search functions, lost bookmarks and important information that is buried “four clicks deep.

“We were told from the beginning (and grudgingly accepted) that a major purpose of the new website was to ‘be about marketing.’ But now, if I put myself in the position of the parents of high school students (or the students themselves) I might well be put off and deflected by the site. That’s bad news for the University community, and terrible ‘marketing.’”

During the first Alumni Association meeting of the year, which was held Friday, Sept. 18, alumna Pamela Edrehi, ‘73, had some complaints about the new website.

She said it was difficult to find the alumni page on the website, and she had to “click around” a lot before finding it.

The website uses a Google custom search, said Mulkeen, which means using the website’s search bar “is the same thing as what would happen if you went into Google and typed in, ‘Framingham State University’ before you put in whatever your search term was.”

When the site was redesigned, all the page URLs and names were changed, according to Mulkeen.

Google has “search robots” which “crawl” the site, depending on how often the site is updated. “There are all sorts of things that go into search engine optimization and how often Google crawls your site, recognizes changes, anything like that.”

In order to make Google’s search -See NEW WEBSITE page 5

robots crawl the site faster, the web team sent Google lists of URLs that weren’t going to be on the new site so the web pages wouldn’t be indexed anymore. They also sent Google a site map for the robots to crawl as well.

“Basically, for the first week, anytime someone hit a 404 error page, they had the option to submit the error. Those ones that we got from people saying, ‘Hey, I can’t find the academic calendar,’ - we know the academic calendar is on the site, they were just searching for it and Google was showing them the old URL for the page instead of the new one.”

The web team created “promotions” for certain URLs that were popular searches, which push certain pages to the top of the search results.

“We weren’t able to create promotions for all 1,000 new pages or every PDF that was uploaded onto the site, but just from the error reports I got most of the time people were searching for the content instead of looking for it within the navigation, so Google was showing them the old URLs even though the content was there somewhere on the site,” said Mulkeen.

She added that a week after launching the new site, Google ro-

He added that they have received some negative feedback regarding links and that “the best way to address those is to let ITS know so that they can in fact be addressed. If a complaint is made, and

President F. Javier Cevallos said, “With any kind of technical thing and the website is extremely complex - it always takes a while to get everything to work properly, to get all the links active, to get all the pages to follow the format.”

He added, “You’re always going to be finding small things that need to be done, and it’s a matter of updating it. I guess the feeling was that it was ready enough to go live although it was clear that there were things that needed to be completed.”

Rob Murphy, a senior, said he is not a fan of the new website. “It’s too cluttered, and not really geared toward effective searching.”

Junior Sam McGuire said, “When they first put it up, none of the links went to where they were supposed to, but IT worked really hard to fix all those things if you actually submitted a report.”

Radhika Bhatt, a sophomore, said, “I heard there was going to be a new website, but I have honestly not noticed a big, big difference.”

Senior Tyler DeMoura said it’s the “same info as always, there’s just a side panel now.”

DeMoura believes the cost of the website is a “complete waste of money” and it could have been put “towards improving the WiFi so students can actually access the website to begin with.”

Cameron Zamagni, a senior, said, “I think it is more difficult to navigate than the previous website.

I think they prioritized aesthetics over user-friendly software.”

Hamel reveals plan for new parking lot at SGA meeting

By Megan Muise sTaff wriTer

Executive Vice President Dale Hamel met with SGA Tuesday, Oct. 6 to discuss the University’s plans for a new parking lot as well as other major renovations and construction projects.

The parking lot will be located at a location which has not been announced near Union Street, and will be available to students for the fall 2016 semester.

“This is our first real opportunity to add a large parking lot to the University, once the acquisition for this new property goes through,” Hamel said. “This lot is much larger than Maple and should be available to students by next fall.”

According to Hamel, the reconfiguration of O’Connor Hall will be completed by fall 2016 as well. The new renovation will create 45 offices, six classrooms, nine meeting rooms, 10 seminar rooms, an elevator and HVAC system, at a cost of $8,316,000.

The final part of the “three-phase” plan for Hemenway Hall will begin January 2016, said Hamel. The third phase of the project will be a nursing suite for the University’s graduate nursing program, located in the Hemenway Annex.

Hamel said the new facilities building on Mayhew Street will be developed into new art studios for students by 2018 after the Facilities Department relocates.

Other upcoming University projects include a state-of-the-art mathematics lab in the Doyle Center, located next to Henry Whittemore Library, according to Hamel.

He said the University hopes to

install a new HVAC system in May Hall by the summer of 2017, and to renovate Linsley Hall and the Henry Whittemore Library in 2019.

Framingham State will also be contributing to the renovation of Lorning Arena. The facility is owned by the town of Framingham, but is used by the University’s Ice Hockey team.

This renovation will include new locker rooms strictly for the FSU team only. The estimated cost of FSU’s contribution has not yet been announced.

SGA also met to discuss and approve funding requests for club-run fall events.

The Food Science Club’s funding request of $1,650 for an all university trip to a Halloween-themed park, Witches’ Woods, was denied due to SGA’s belief that it strayed too far from the club’s mission statement.

“Our club really just wants to be able to engage science students in doing some fun activities outside of school, which is something we aren’t normally able to do,” said club President Caitlin Wertz.

FSU Dance Team’s funding request of $2,255.98 for their Framingham’s Got Talent event, on Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in DPAC, was approved.

“We want to open up a show to the whole school so that students will be able to show off their talents, no matter what they are,” said club President Sam Florino.

There will be 150 long-sleeve Tshirts available to the audience on a first-come first-serve basis. First place prize will be an iPad mini, second place a GoPro Hero starter bundle and third place a Bose Bluetooth

Executive Vice President Dale Hamel discusses construction projects on campus with SGA. Speaker.

The Comic Book Club’s annual Rhode Island Comic Con trip for Nov. 7 was approved for $2,715.

“This is going to be the third year that we’ve gone,” said club Vice President Matt Baran. “There’s always been a huge turnout and it’s always fun.”

SGA approved the Fashion Club’s funding request of $716.50 for the club’s annual Fashion Week.

“This isn’t just a week for fashion majors or club members. This is something we wanted to do for everyone,” said Sam Pajer, club president.

Fashion Week will be held Monday, Nov. 2 to Friday, Nov. 6 and will include the “Trashion” show held in DPAC.

WDJM’s funding request of $1,415 for a fall festival event was also approved.

General Manager Brianna Araya said, “This is a new event for us, but we’re teaming up with First-Year Programs to really get people involved and help sponsor First-Year because they never get much attention after September.”

The event will be held in the McCarthy Center Forum, date TBA, and will include pumpkin decorating, caramel apples, a photo novelty and apple cider.

“We have a lot of exciting things going on around campus,” said Dan Costello, SGA president. “It’s awesome to see clubs wanting to get everyone involved. There’s a great community here.”

The GaTeposT ediTorial

Waste not, want not As the Dalai Lama once said, “It is not enough to be compassionate. You must act.”

Sage advice that, sadly, often goes unheeded.

There is enough - perhaps even more than enough - food to go around. Which makes the fact that “some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life,” according to the World Food Programme’s website, all the more outrageous. That means nearly one-seventh of the world’s population goes to bed every night with an empty stomach.

This problem must be addressed on a local level. Each member of his or her community has the ability to assist those who suffer from hunger. According to a 2013 report by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Resources Institute, “In the USA, 30-40% of the food supply is wasted, equaling more than 20 pounds of food per person per month.” This is, quite frankly, a shameful fact.

Though the issue of hunger may seem impossible to tackle, FSU grad student Meghan Skeehan has shown that with a bit of inspiration, perseverance and hard work, even the most insurmountable problem can be solved one meal at a time.

While Skeehan and the fellow volunteers of FSU’s Food Recovery Network chapter’s acts of compassion may not put a dent in the global epidemic of hunger, their actions make a profound impact on the lives of numerous Framingham residents who experience food insecurity.

By donating Sodexo’s leftover food to Framingham-based food pantries, soup kitchens and housing shelters, these fine members of the FSU community are playing a small but significant role in the war on hunger.

We at The Gatepost commend the volunteers as well as Sodexo for putting their compassion into action.

If you or anyone you know has concerns about where your next meal will come from, The Gatepost advises you to visit The Salvation Army, Pearl Street Cafe or A Place To Turn. Don’t be afraid to seek assistance.

Everyone has the right to go to sleep with a full stomach.

Recognizing intimate partner violence This last September marked the 21st anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Violence against women has never had more media coverage than it does now. Today, we call those who have experienced domestic violence survivors rather than victims. Intimate partner violence is being talked about, and that is what is important - to educate people about what intimate partner violence is, what it looks like and how to respond.

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence [NCADV], women between the ages of 18-24 are more likely to experience intimate partner violence than women of other age ranges. In the last year, 46 percent of FSU students who responded to a Sexual Misconduct Survey said they had experienced behaviors which constitute abuse.

Intimate partner violence is defined as a relationship in which one person hurts his or her partner emotionally or physically. This includes physical, mental, verbal and sexual abuse.

Intimate partner violence is centered on power and control in a relationship. You may have seen the Power and Control Wheel illustrating negative behaviors in unhealthy relationships. If you haven’t, I suggest you search for it on Google. The Power and Control Wheel illustrates behaviors which indicate intimate partner violence. These behaviors include sexual abuse, threats, domination, intimidation, minimization and blame, possessiveness, humiliation and physical abuse.

Intimate partner violence, commonly referred to as domestic violence, can happen to anyone regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, age, income or social standing. Intimate partner violence is never the victim’s fault. No one deserves to be controlled, disempowered, hit, raped or abused in any way.

Control is the goal of an abuser, and abuse is a way of getting it. An abuser can be a person of any gender, race, sexual orientation, age, income or social standing. Abusers can be hard to identify – after all, they don’t wear signs on their shirts saying “abuser.”

There are no excuses for abuse.

One of the most common “excuses” for abusive behavior is the abuser was abused as a child.

That is not an excuse. Abusers have something morally wrong with their values and what they believe to be right and wrong.

No one signs up to be in an abusive relationship. An abuser doesn’t open up with, “I have an abuse problem” on a date, and a victim doesn’t check that off her list for what she is looking for in Prince Charming. An abuser can be sweet and

empathetic. It is important to recognize that an abuser can have positive qualities and still have an abuse problem.

It’s important not to blame victims. The victims did not bring this experience upon themselves. They did not ask for this.

Most people who may be experiencing intimate partner violence don’t understand that they are being abused. It is easy to think that domestic violence is something that will never happen to them or a family member or friend.

Control is the goal of an abuser and abuse is a way of getting it.

Intimate partner violence is never the victim’s fault.

It happens to one in four women. Look around your classroom and count out every four women. An average class size at FSU is 16 students. Let’s say you have 12 women in the class that is three women who may have experienced or will experience intimate partner violence in their lifetimes.

I am going to use a female and male relationship as an example because women are more likely to experience abuse in a heterosexual relationship. (However, that doesn’t mean men don’t experience abuse; nor does it not occur in lesbian or gay relationships.) Let’s say we have two people whom I’m going to call Boy and Girl.

Boy and Girl meet in a classroom. Conversation starts and, weeks later, Boy and Girl are pursuing each other. Boy is buying flowers for Girl, -See INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE page 8

complimenting her and would like to know all about her. Girl is flattered and starts dating Boy. Months later, Girl gets into a confrontation with Boy. Boy and Girl are about to go to a party. Boy insists Girl dress in more conservative attire, saying that makes him happy. Girl thinks nothing of it and changes. Boy and Girl head out to the party. Boy is mingling with people, while Girl is talking to one of her friends who happens to be male. Boy walks over to Girl, squeezes her arm and asks to speak with her. He smiles; however, Girl notices Boy’s grip is hurting her.

They walk outside and Boy accuses Girl of flirting with her friend and cheating on Boy. Girl is shocked and tells Boy that is not the case. Boy says they are leaving and explains to their friends at the party that Girl isn’t feeling well. On the ride home, Girl tries to reason with Boy and show him how much she loves him. However, Boy doesn’t speak and forcibly shoves Girl into the car door when she tries to touch him. Girl is left feeling confused, humiliated and believing something is wrong with her.

This is one example of what abuse can look like. In this scenario, we have domination, humiliation, possessiveness and physical abuse. Girl is wondering what she did wrong, and it becomes her priority to help Boy and not upset him. Later, she begins to believe there is something wrong with her as abuse continues in their relationship.

Sometimes there can be months between abusive incidents. Red flags, or danger signs, in an abusive relationship include extensive criticism,

extreme jealousy, isolation, financial control, suicide attempts or threats and physical harm. Abuse may increase with the use of alcohol or drugs.

A person who is experiencing intimate partner violence may act withdrawn, depressed or worried, refuse invitations to socialize, be uncomfortable talking about his or her relationship, have bruises or injuries and wear makeup or clothing to cover injuries.

Those who worry they may be in abusive relationships should ask themselves if they sometimes feel afraid of their partners, wonder if they are crazy, avoid certain topics with their partners out of fear of upsetting them, or feel helpless.

There are many signs of an abusive relationship, but if any of these apply to you or a friend, seek help from a peer, a colleague, a professor or anyone with whom you feel safe. Build a support system and educate yourself on the warning signs of an abusive relationship.

This is the first in a series of editorials by Associate Editor Sara Silvestro, which will appear in The Gatepost this year on the topic of domestic violence.

Letter to the Editor FSU students can choose from several paths to help them complete their degrees. The Division of Graduate and Continuing Education [DGCE] is crucial in providing flexibility and value to students finding a workable way to their goal.

But students may not be aware of a struggle going on at FSU and at our sibling campuses in the Massachusetts state university system. It is a struggle for fairness and equity for faculty pay. The DGCE faculty contract negotiation, which occurs every three years, has reached an impasse. At stake is whether our DGCE faculty will get the same kind of treatment as other faculty- or whether they will continue to fall behind in terms of pay.

Right now, they are first-class teachers but second-class campus citizens.

To be clear, DGCE faculty are the lowest paid faculty in the state university system. They are paid less to teach the same students and courses.

The MSCA, the union that represents our faculty and librarians, proposed a plan to reduce the inequality between DGCE and other faculty. The COP (the council of nine university presidents including FSU’s President Javier Cevallos) has offered a contract that would actually make the gap between day and DGCE faculty grow wider.

We wanted Gatepost readers to know. We wanted Gatepost readers to help us try to figure out where President Cevallos stands. President Cevallos could encourage the COP to approve a fair and equitable contract for the DGCE. Or, he could direct FSU - if the COP can’t agree - to offer our own DGCE faculty the raise proposed by the MSCA to help FSU’s DGCE faculty make movement toward an even footing with day faculty. He can do that. We have high hopes that we will see FSU and the COP do the right thing for our entire faculty.

DGCE faculty are exceptional professors - exactly the same as our day faculty. Even the best teachers (or the best students, or the best workers) are at risk of losing their fighting spirit when there is this kind of unfairness. Let’s keep FSU excellent.

IN THE HEART OF THE

Photos courtesy of Creative Commons Graphic by Brittany Cormier/The Gatepost

Author Nathaniel Philbrick visits FSU

By Albert Rivera STAFF WRITER Nathaniel Philbrick spoke at FSU last Tuesday, Oct. 6, to discuss his bestselling book, “In the Heart of the Sea.” He began his talk with the history of Nantucket. Philbrick said, “Back in the early 19th century, it was the whaling capital of the world.”

He then said that, in the time of the Essex, everyone on the island of Nantucket, in one way or another, was related. Everyone was close and, being on such a small island, not everyone may have known each other, but they knew of each other.

When Philbrick started to research his information for his book, he did an extensive amount of research not only on whaling, but also on the island itself. His information was from from the Nantucket Atheneum, which he described as “an extraordinary public library that has an extraordinary archive of letters and documents related to whaling.”

Philbrick talked about the first book he wrote, “Away Off Shore: Nantucket Island,” which has a chapter that mentions the Essex disaster. He continued to speak about how whaling was a “heroic quest” that brought light to the world, but there was also a dark side of whaling which the novel focuses on.

Philbrick described it not only as a “survival tale” through a his-

torical lens, but also a 21st century psychological understanding. Philbrick described the “dark side” of whaling and how the industry was about not just going out and hunting a whale, but rather surviving the harsh conditions to obtain a large haul and go back to Nantucket a hero.

Philbrick began to describe the behavior of the whale itself. He talked about the mysterious ways of whales and how science knew little about them at the time. Some of the questions Philbrick had could not be answered. He started to research what starvation does to the human mind and soul, which eventually turned into his book.

After the book became a bestseller and started to become popular, he spoke about its coming adaptation into a motion picture. He talked about how Chris Hemsworth is to play George Pollard, first mate of the Essex, in the movie. From there, he described what it was like to be there when they were recording a scene in which Philbrick was one of the extras.

Dustin Hinkley, a freshman, said, “I enjoyed … the historical perspective that it had on the book.”

Dean of Students Melinda Stoops said, “It’s great to hear the author describe his thoughts and research and the process and it just gives one a whole new perspective.”

Jolly Rogues bring the high seas to FSU

Cesareo Contreras/The Gatepost

Four-man crew the Jolly Rogues brought their nautical, Celtic music to the Ecumenical Center Monday afternoon.

By Cesareo Contreras ASST. ARTS & FEATURES EDITOR Four-man crew the Jolly Rogues entertained the crowd with their historical and Celtic sailor-themed tunes Monday afternoon in the Heineman Ecumenical Center. The group’s performance was a precursor to the freshman Common Reading event which happened on Tuesday in DPAC. In their musical performance, the Jolly Rogues focused primarily on the life of the sailor. They sang songs such as “Old Maui,” which tells the tale of a group of sailors enjoying themselves in Hawaii after fishing in harsh Alaskan waters and “Greenland Whale Fishery,” a tune about a group of men who are put in a dangerous situation when trying to capture a harpooned whale.

The Jolly Rogues never strayed away from their sailor theme.

In addition, all four band members were dressed in sailor attire furthering the nautical, Celtic theme.

Jim Murray, the band’s founder, was on vocals and percussion, while Paul Harty also provided vocals and played guitar and harmonica. “The Fiddling Thomsons” father and son, Ryan and Brennish Thomson, also played their part. Brennish played the fiddle throughout the performance while Ryan not only sang, but also played an assortment of instruments ranging from the whistle to the accordion.

Harty explained to the crowd that the songs they sing originate between the 18th and 19th century.

One song, titled “Tis Adver-

tised in Boston,” Harty said took place a short time after the events which occur in the freshman Common Reading Selection, “In the Heart of the Sea,” by Nathaniel Philbrick. Harty explained that the tune was about how a large number of sailors left the port of Nantucket after it became “silted” and headed to New Bedford.

Although most of the songs involved vocals, one song the band performed towards the end of their set was a reel, called “The Sally Gardens,” and was completely lyric-free. Ryan Thomson told the crowd that often during the crew’s downtime, fiddlers would play songs and used Sally Garden’s Reel as an example of some of the songs the fiddlers would play. In this upbeat and jovial song, Ryan Thomson

played the whistle, and Harty and Brennish Thomson followed along with their fiddle and guitar, while Murray kept the beat going on percussion.

The Jolly Rogues’ set was at times interactive. Be it in providing sound effects for one of their jingles, to clapping and stomping their feet along to the beat of the song, the audience kept right along with the band.

Daphne Paul, a senior, said, “I like how they are in costume and how one of them sings and they all fall together. I liked how they played different instruments.

There was the flute, the whistle, the viola and other instruments as well.”

Cody Lucido, a sophomore, said, “I thought it was good. I liked the jolliness of it.”

Club Profile: Black Student Union

By Audrey Fleurot STAFF WRITER

By Maria Hornbaker STAFF WRITER The Black Student Union at FSU is not afraid to talk about the hot topics facing people of color in the world today.

Cassandra Teneus, Black Student Union president and 2-year member, said she cares about people of color and that some media depictions can sometimes be misleading.

“I care about the injustices that we face on a daily basis. It’s es-

sential to have a group like this on campus that can speak to kids and let them know, ‘you are not alone,’” Teneus said.

Vice President Elizabeth Lewis said, “It’s not just about color, it’s about learning about your culture, having people there.”

Abigáelle Daniel, a member of the club, said she comes every Tuesday for the meetings because it helps her to express her opinions and to discuss what is happening to people of color in the world with people who care.

Teneus said that BSU is open to

everyone who wants to join and to speak about any subject without limits or rules to expressing their opinion.

“It’s an open discussion,” said Teneus. “You can express whatever you want to express, whatever you want to talk about. It’s a judge-free zone.”

Teneus added their experiences in BSU could impact their futures.

She said the club helps educate members about what it is to be a person of color, how to see racism from their perspective and how to improve the situation.

“We need a group like this on campus to speak to kids to let them know you’re not alone,” said Teneus.

Everyone can be a part of this club, so those interested in being a member of the Black Student Union can attend their meetings on Tuesday nights at 7.

BSU will be hosting a party on Nov. 14 and a culture show in the spring.

Teneus said the club is “about what it means to be young and colored and make it in this world.”

Virginia Rutter - Continued from page 1 that has become increasingly more diverse over the last half century.

In a graph titled “Work-Family Living Arrangements of Children, 1960 & 2012, Age 0-14,” the drastic change in family forms was highlighted. On the left side of the graph was the breakdown of children’s families in 1960 and on the right side the more diverse family forms found in 2012.

“If you don’t have time for anything else,” Rutter said, “look at this image.”

In 1960, 65 percent of families had married parents where only the father was employed. The second largest percentage was married parents, both employed, which was 18%.

“So you have a whole bunch of people in one kind of family form,” Rutter said.

In comparison, the right side of the graph showed the majority of families in 2012 were married parents who were both employed (34 percent), followed by married parents, father only employed (22 percent). The increase in the former and the decrease in the latter were not the only major changes to families in 2012. Families headed by formerly married mothers, grandparents serving as parents, single fathers and mothers who have never been married

all showed growth in the colorful graph. Families with parents who were both unemployed decreased since 1960.

“On the other side you have a rainbow,” she said in reference to the multiple colored bars on the right side of the graph, each denoting a different type of family form. “People live in a lot of different kinds of families. Instead of two-thirds, one-in-five kids live in this ... ‘Leave It To Beaver’ kind of family.”

Rutter predicted what perhaps many Americans may ask when confronted with this information. “‘Well, are we safe? Are our children safe with these changing family forms?’” She asked rhetorically.

A simulation had been run by economists, she said, which showed what would happen if things hadn’t changed since 1979.

“In 1979, men were working a lot more hours than women were ... In 2007 you can see, interestingly, men are working less and women are working more,” she said.

The presentation concluded with a slideshow, which showed diverse family forms, many of which included the families of FSU faculty and staff.

Rutter speaks on the changing statistics of families over the last half-century.

The GaTeposT Top Ten Dining Hacks 10. Keep your food warm

Colton’s Couture

By Colton Madore STAFF WRITER Jeans, khakis, sweatpants and everything nice. Although these pieces of clothing may seem great, they easily get old after wearing them over and over. That’s where joggers come in. These amazing and comfortable pants have been and are one of the hottest trends for both guys and girls this fall and winter season.

If you haven’t heard of joggers before, you are doing life completely wrong. Joggers aren’t just regular pants; they contain elastic at the feet and are designed to fall right above the ankle. They also come in various fabrics such as sweatpants, denim and khaki.

After a recent trip to H&M, I even found that they come in a suede material. Let’s just say that I regret not buying them now.

The possibilities are endless with these magical pants. You can dress them down, yet you can also dress them up with a button down and blazer. If you’re feeling for a more casual day or under the weather, just throw on a pair of sweatpant joggers with a basic or graphic t-shirt. You will look and feel super comfortable. If you

want to look more like you tried, then try denim or khaki joggers with a sweater or t-shirt paired with your favorite sneakers.

The great thing about joggers is that they go best with sneakers yet the shoe possibilities are still endless. They are meant to be a sportier type of clothing, yet still laid back. No one can go wrong by wearing joggers with sneakers. Girls can go a little farther if wanted and pair their joggers with a heel. This will keep the look very casual, yet still sophisticated. Celebrities such as Zendaya, Rita Ora and even Rihanna are all about this trend.

Joggers are revolutionary by not being just another basic pair of pants. They open the path to the future of pants. Joggers can be found at stores such as Urban Outfitters, PacSun, and even Express. So, what do you think? Will you be loving this legwear this season?

Exploding into education with the Montessori method

By Kristen Pinto ARTS & FEATURES EDITOR Children learn best by doing. They learn at their own pace, in their own ways, by completing spontaneous activities that suit their needs. At least, this is what the Montessori method of teaching entails.

Dr. Gerald Lee Gutek has studied the Montessori method extensively and came to FSU on Wednesday afternoon to share the ideas behind his latest book, co-written with his wife, Patricia Gutek, “Bringing Montessori to America: S. S. McClure, Maria Montessori, and the Campaign to Publicize Montessori Education.”

Maria Montessori first created this revolutionary method of teaching in 1906 in Rome. The school became popular quickly, as parents and educators praised her method of letting children learn at their own pace, with only the tools provided to them.

“Teachers there are not called teachers,” Gutek said. “They are called directors.” Their job is to walk around the classroom and to be at the student’s side as soon as the student needs them.

The idea behind the Montessori method directly contradicted the

teaching method that all children are the same and will learn in the same ways.

As Gutek explained, students are not just sitting in a room with information being shoved into their heads, but rather are learning by exploring their environment and using hands-on manipulatives and learning tools.

As the Montessori Method increased in popularity in Rome, it quickly caught the eye of S.S. McClure, best known for his publication “McClure’s Magazine.” The magazine was known for muckraking, or journalism that seeks to expose political and social corruption through investigative reporting.

Montessori and McClure met in 1910 and set off on a mission together to bring the Montessori Method to the United States.

Gutek noted the interesting difference in the classes of people who took to the new teaching method in the United States. When Montessori was first introduced in 1907, it was to a low-income school in Rome.

Yet when the method was first introduced in the United States, Gutek explained that it was high-class public figures who took the method immediately.

Figures such as Alexander Gra-

Amanda Martin/The Gatepost

Dr. Gerald Lee Gutek discussed his latest book and the importance of the Montessori method in America. ham Bell and his wife Mabel as well as Thomas Edison acted as sponsors for the Montessori method as they saw the value of it as an educational system and were big supporters in the push for integration of the method into the United States.

In 1913, Montessori and McClure embarked on a lecture tour to spread the method and its philosophies throughout America. The people of the United States immediately took

to it, and Montessori schools began appearing across the country.

People were fascinated with this method as they claimed it to be producing “miracle children,” as Gutek said.

The method caught on and by 1916, there were more than 100 Montessori schools opening across the United States, with an even larger number of schools in existence today.

Student-athlete profile: a look at Sara Sullivan’s soccer career

By Mike Ferris SportS Editor

After Monday night’s Lions-Seahawks game, it is clear that Kam Chancellor has officially won his contract negotiations.

Chancellor missed the first two games of this year when he and the Seahawks had a contract dispute.

One of the founders of the Legion of Boom, the nickname that Seattle’s secondary has taken on in recent years, Chancellor is demanding more money for the significant role he plays, while the Seahawks feel he isn’t worth what he’s asking for.

In the two games that the safety sat out, the Seahawks went 0-2, losing to the Rams and the Packers.

Chancellor ultimately decided that his money situation wasn’t worth making his teammates suffer without him and so he returned in Week 3, without reaching further progress with management.

Since Chancellor has returned, the Seahawks are 2-0, beating the Bears and the Lions, and he played a significant role in Monday night’s game against Detroit.

Behind only linebacker Bobby Wagner, Chancellor was second in tackles with seven, laid a humongous hit on Calvin Johnson across the middle and forced a fumble of Johnson at the goal line as the Lions were on the verge of taking the lead with a minute left in the game.

Chancellor’s role in that game, as well as the Bears game, has been significant. Since his return, the team is not only 2-0, but has only allowed 10 points, compared to the 61 points the Seahawks allowed without him.

If Chancellor didn’t return in Week 3, who knows? This team could be 1-3 or 0-4, but at 2-2, Seattle is just a game out of first in the NFC West and his role has been instrumental.

Even players are calling for his pay raise.

After his game-clinching forced fumble Monday, Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett interrupted Chancellor’s postgame interview to say, “Pay this man!”

While very few players ever get anywhere with holdouts, it appears Chancellor has clearly won. This defense, which has been so good with him for the last several years, looked disastrous in its first two games.

His performance since his return has been, much as it has been since joining the Seahawks, Pro Bowl level, and Seattle, it appears, can’t refuse to pay him.

Chancellor proved he is instrumental to that defense and that, without him, they will struggle. For that reason, I have to agree with Bennett, “Pay this man!”

Framingham women’s soccer goalkeeper Sara Sullivan awaits a shot on net.

By Amelia Foley ASSt. SportS Editor

Sara Sullivan is a senior student-athlete who is majoring in elementary education, with coordinate majors in earth science and geography.

Sullivan was recruited by Framingham State University’s soccer coach in 2012, but originally decided to go to Saint Anselm University.

She only stayed at Saint Anselm for the first semester before she decided to get back in contact with the FSU coach and transferred in the spring of 2013.

“I came in the spring and played with the team, and then tried out in the fall,” said Sullivan. After making the team, she became the starting goalie for Framingham and has held that position for the last three years.

Sullivan started her soccer career when she was only four years old, “which is so crazy,” she said.

She started out playing on the field as a forward.

But when she was seven, she tried goalie for the first time.

“They were like, ‘does anyone want to play?’

So I said ‘sure,’ and then I liked it.”

In high school, Sullivan switched off between goalie and forward. Sophomore year, she moved up to varsity and became the starting goalie for the rest of her high school career. Senior year, she was voted into the captain position.

In high school, Sullivan also played on a club team for two years, called the Galway Rovers.

The team was paired with another team from Galway, Ireland.

“We went to Ireland and played a bunch of teams over there, which was pretty cool, and they came here and played with us,” said Sullivan.

Sullivan also played tennis in high school. She played No. 2 singles and her fraternal twin sister played No. 1 singles. The twins were captains together their junior and senior year.

Sullivan has had a lot of success in her time with Framingham. On Nov. 3, 2013, Sullivan received the MASCAC Player of the Week after her team secured the MASCAC regular season title and the top seed in the conference tournament.

Additionally, the MASCAC published a profile on Sullivan this year on Sept. 25.

“It’s such a unique experience being on a team, especially in college,” said Sullivan.

In 2014, Sullivan and her team won the ECAC New England Division III tournament over the University of New England. Sullivan was then named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player after she stopped two attempts and scored a goal of her own in penalty kicks.

Outside of her life as an athlete, Sullivan is a big participant in academic clubs on campus. She is the treasurer of Kappa Delta Pi, the education honor society on campus.

The society recognizes students with high academic achievement, a commitment to education as a career and a professional attitude that assures steady growth in the field.

She also is the secretary for the Tau Sigma national honor society for FSU, which acknowledges transfer students who show high academic achievement and involvement during their first semester at FSU. Sullivan works at CASA as an Academic Success Peer Tutor. “Students come to me once a week and I help them with note taking, time management, organization and sometimes some content questions,” she said.

Sullivan went on the 2015 spring break trip to Greece with the university. “It was so cool because my sister was abroad there, so I got to visit her, which was awesome,” she said. “I was originally going to go by myself, but then Framingham was offering a trip, so I went and it was so fun.”

Sullivan hopes to use everything she learned at FSU to become a teacher after her graduation in the fall of 2016. “I want to go to grad school and get my own classroom!” she said.

Right now, she focuses on her last season playing soccer with her teammates. “You’re just with everyone all day, every day … It gives you a group of sisters,” said Sullivan, who also lives in the “soccer house” off campus.

“I feel like we would all do anything for each other, and it is just good to know that you have someone there for you, someone on your side.”

Framingham’s defense propels team to third straight win

By Mike Ferris SportS Editor

Framingham picked off UMass Dartmouth quarterbacks Cory Burnham and Matt Lowe four times on Saturday, too much for the Corsairs to overcome, as they fell 26-14 to the Rams.

Kenneth Bartolo, Lewis Bailey, Matt Mangano and Tyllor McDonald each came up with an interception. For Bartolo, Mangano and Bailey it was each of their second interceptions, while for McDonald, who returned from injury Saturday, it was his first.

Led by the four picks on the defensive side, Jalen Green carried the offense.

Green logged career-highs in carries, 35, and rushing yards, 186, and contributed more than half of the Rams’ total offensive output.

For the Rams, the cold afternoon brought about their worst scoring output of the year and quarterback Matt Silva’s least productive afternoon of his senior campaign.

Silva threw for just 115 yards and a lone touchdown Saturday, compared to his season averages of 4.75 touchdowns and 342 yards per game.

Mangano got the scoring started in the first quarter. He came in with the ball on the twoyard line, took the snap out of the wildcat with Silva split out wide and bulled his way across the goal line. After Sean Wlasuk’s extra point was blocked, the Rams found themselves up 6-0.

UMass Dartmouth answered late in the first with a touchdown of its own. With just over two minutes left, Burnham led a 10-play, 5:15 drive that ended when he found Alex Heffernan for a nine-yard score.

The Corsairs were successful with their PAT attempt and went into the end of the first quarter with a 7-6 lead.

Burnham led another scoring drive that ended just eight seconds into the second quarter. This time Burnham kept the ball himself, running it in from five yards out and

extending the Corsairs’ lead to 14-6.

This was the last time UMass Dartmouth would score, as something sparked the Rams to rifle off 20 unanswered points the rest of the way.

The first of these points came before halftime. After the Corsairs’ Brendan Dagle fumbled a punt at his own 22-yard line, the Rams

Framingham return man Quron Wright fields a punt in Saturday’s win over UMass Dartmouth. took over with a short field.

They got down inside the five-yard line and were stuffed twice before Mangano came in once again.

With Silva split out, much like he was in the first quarter, Mangano took the snap, jumped over the pile, reached his arm across the goal

line and cut the lead to 14-13 at halftime.

The touchdown marked Mangano’s fifth of the year.

Trailing by a point in the third quarter, the Rams took over at their own three-yard line. Led by six Green rushes and two Corsairs penalties, Silva finished the drive with an 18yard touchdown run, giving the Rams a 20-14 lead, one they wouldn’t relinquish.

Silva’s lone touchdown pass came with just under two minutes left in the third. He hooked up with Tevin Jones for a seven-yard touchdown after Mangano ran his pick of Burnham down to the Corsairs’ seven.

The touchdown marked Jones’ eighth of the year and gave the Rams a 26-14 lead, the eventual final after a scoreless fourth quarter.

With 20 touchdowns on the year, Silva continues to lead the country in this category, but his sluggish offensive day dropped him to third in the nation in passing yards.

Aside from Green’s 186 yards on the ground, two other running backs, Trevon Offley and Aaron Owens, got touches. Offley carried seven times for 37 yards, while Owens carried two times for two yards.

Marcus Grant led all receivers with 61 yards. He was followed by Jared Gauthier who caught three passes for 21 yards, Jones who had two for 17 and Travis Hayes who had three for 16.

Aside from throwing four picks, Burnham was hurried all afternoon and was sacked twice. One sack came from Quentin Jones and the other from Guychard Sampson.

The defense held the Corsairs to just 188 yards, 111 on the ground and 77 through the air.

Along with nearly doubling UMass Dartmouth’s yardage total, the Rams controlled the ball for almost 12 more minutes than the Corsairs.

The Rams travel to Westfield State Saturday in their last game before hitting the bye week on Oct. 17.

Arno ended with four, while Cardeiro scored his seventh and eighth goals of the season in the loss.
