“I am writing to you with concerns in regards to the driving around without any type of protection. They are not armed nor do they have any of the tools needed to defend themselves. With the amount of campus shootings happening across the United States I feel it is time for Keene State ize it can happen just as easily at Keene State. The part I fear is that the campus safety department has nothing to try to help prevent or intervene a campus shooting or any the incidents that have happened just over the last year

Pumpkin Lobotomy tradition kept alive BROGAN WESSELL

Equinox Staff Despite the controversy over the City of Keene’s cancellation of this year’s Pumpkin Festival, Keene State College has planned to stick to tradition and hold the annual Pumpkin Lobotomy event on campus.

Coordinator of Student Leadership Brandon Mathieu said it was a lengthy process in coming to the decision on whether or not Pumpkin Lobotomy should be held on account of last year’s incidents during the annual Pumpkin Festival. “The Student Assembly Events Committee met with a variety of folks across campus, including college administration, some folks from the city of Keene and city college commission members to weigh out some ideas for the event. It was really the events committee taking feedback it has gotten from a bunch of constituencies and gearing it towards restructuring this year’s event to not look like it ever has in the past,” Mathieu said.

He continued, “It was also important to take into account some of the feelings about the things that went on last year and how we could still keep tradition, but not have the same connotation it might’ve had in the past.”

Student Body President Bobby Graham added, “A lot of passion went into this decision. Lobotomy is an event that was really important to the student body and that was our main focus in going through that lengthy process. That was the reason why it was so lengthy because we wanted to make sure that we did get all of it right to make sure that we were prepared to have a great event this year.”

Lobotomy did happen this year because there were a lot of concerns about the “what ifs” of what could happen during the month of October.

“The Student Assembly and the Events Commitcampus about how Pumpkin Lobotomy is and has always been an independent event from the Pumpkin Festival. Last year during Lobotomy there were no issues and we do not expect to have any this year,” Mathieu said. Graham added that Lobotomy has been a longer standing tradition at the college than the Pumpkin Festival has been with the town, which was a major reason why they felt Lobotomy needed to happen this year.

the incidents that took place but we are willing to look it in the face and say we’re going to own up and have a great event this year that really evokes the kind of pride and tradition that we are looking for instead of having a repeat of what happened,” Graham said.

In terms of restructuring the event, Graham said give Lobotomy a more fall-festival type feel so that it could be a day where students, faculty and community members don’t just stumble into it to get free things and leave, but rather spend quite a bit of time there.

He continued, “There will also be student organization tables that are going to have pumpkin displays.

The idea is that participants can sign up for these from basically whenever the event starts to whenever the to set up a pumpkin display of some sort, kind of like -

Mathieu added that one of the major changes that were made for Lobotomy was the limiting the amount the pumpkin. There will be a lot more apple-type food of student organizations that could set up a table while and a lot less pumpkins, but participants will have the event was going on. “Student organizations’ parthe option to either carve them or paint small sugar pumpkins,” Graham said.

“I think that it keeps a good image and good spirit to continue doing the lobotomy.

Bisenius said that she is a regular attendant of the Pumpkin Lobotomy event and plans on enjoying her last Lobotomy at KSC this year.

EDITORIAL

Thursday OcTOber 15, 2015

Time to stop spreading awareness and start taking action As many may already know, October is known as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to nationalbreastcancer.org, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is “an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.” Now, initially this may seem like a funny sentence. One might question what awareness there is to raise. Breast cancer is a fairly well-known

aims to spread awareness about taking the necessary Interestingly, October is also known for many other monthly observations including: adopt a shelter dog month, American cheese month, AIDS awarerecovery month and celiac disease awareness month, among many others.

Seems like a lot to focus awareness on for one month. The Equinox would like to take a certain position regarding this issue. While we acknowledge

do our part to recognize all of these monthly observations.

Our editorial is focusing on breast cancer awareness month. We want to ask this question: How much are we really helping? Are we really doing our part?

What could be done better?

“Think before you pink” is a project on breast cancer action. They promote the idea that we need to focus on action instead of awareness. According to their website, the project aims to “stop the distraction of pink ribbon marketing and culture.” Their website goes on to state “Pink ribbon products spread empty awareness.” ‘Awareness’ has failed to address and end the breast cancer epidemic. Who isn’t aware of breast cancer these days? Pink ribbon trinkets on store shelves that promote ‘awareness’ ultimately change nothing. We have more than enough awareness, but not nearly enough action that will make a cancer or survive it.” social media, but how often does this actually prompt us to be proactive and do something that will actually More times than not, we come across a pink ribbon and do nothing more than notice it. This is the type of behavior we believe needs to change.

This is not to say that anyone in particular is a bad expect miracles out of anyone. We do believe, however, that as a collective society we could be doing more.

There is a common misconception that breast cancer is only found in women. Many don’t realize that a person doesn’t need to have a set a breasts to get breast cancer. What many don’t know is that breast cancer

can also be found in men. According to the American Cancer Society, “Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts from cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that may grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. Breast cancer occurs mainly in women, but men can get it, too. Many people do not realize that men have breast tissue and that they can develop breast cancer.”

It goes without saying that pink is a color often associated with women. It is stereotypically a feminine color.

Just think, when you were a baby, what color was your room, your bib, your clothes? More than likely, if you’re a girl, pink was the default color for you. For boys, the default color is typically blue.

With that said, when people see pink ribbons they

After twenty years of pink ribbons and awareness campaigns, the pink ribbon is now a distraction, diverting attention away from the critically important work of addressing and ending this breast cancer epidemic.” battle.

While this view may seem a bit extreme, parts of it hold true. The Equinox encourages people to particiare placing it in a certain category of masculine or femi- pate in National Breast Cancer Awareness month, but we want to encourage people to go beyond the pink from the cancer and deserve equal representation.

Think before you pink argues that the ribbon isn’t a ture on Facebook to a pink ribbon really do for those helpful symbol for those battling breast cancer, instead it acts as a burden to it. “Where once the stated aim of the pink ribbon was to draw attention to women with breast cancer, now the pink ribbon itself is the center

Yes, more women are diagnosed with breast cancer than men, but just because the statistics show higher rates of women experiencing breast cancer doesn’t mean we

Here’s the thing, by taking matters into your own hands without permission, you’ve disregarded and undermined the hard work that I’ve put into being independent.

All the surgeries I’ve had and physical therapy I’ve done to be able to stand there, hold my balance and put those groceries away, has taken a lot of thought and hard work. I understand that you want to help and/ or do your good deed for the day, but when I say I can handle doing something, treat me like anyone else and move on.

See, in my 21 years on Earth I’ve learned that many people have certain misconceptions about not only me, but many other handicapped individuals. Society tends to treat disabled people with kid gloves. Constantly asking if we need help isn’t actually helping, it’s not reality.

The goal of anybody with a disability is to be independent. The fact is that they need to adapt to what is mostly an inaccessible world.

That means a lot of blood, sweat and tears. It took

“For me, I am okay with people not totally getting my gender the way I get it because I generally don’t think that anyone is ever going to completely understand the way I see myself and as long as they can respect me and care about me and think that I am awesome [that] is really all that I can ask for,” Fischer said.

Hunter Kirschner, Program Support Assistant for LGBTQ Students, helped facilitate this event. Kirschner said, “I feel like our stories are told narrowly or by someone else so the panel I’m doing as well as this lunch is coming together to kind of share our experiences with each other as well as our campus community which allows us to take ownership.”

Kirschner explained that the purpose of this is to encourage other people so they don’t have to be silent or exploited in their experience and to assure them that they are not alone.

KSC students were able to share their stories as well. Two students even acknowledged how they both are open about their sexuality here at school, even though their families back home are unaware of this.

Other students attended the event simply to engage with others and educate themselves on all aspects of the community they are apart of.

Keene State College united Monday to celebrate diversity for National Coming Out Day. National Coming Out Day is a Human Rights Campaign to celebrate coming out as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ).

This day is recognized on October 11, the anniversary of the National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights that occurred in 1988.

This was a big year for prominent individuals such as Bruce Jenner, Miley Cyrus, Kristen Stewart, Tim Cook and Jussie Smollett who all came out this year.

So, what exactly does it mean to come out?

Students find Digital Dirt at KSC

CASSIE BARON/ EQUINOX STAFF

What do employers see when they Google you?

LEIGHA HALL

Equinox Staff Keene State College helps young adults achieve higher education. However, obtaining a degree is not enough to succeed in a career.

Networking has become the best way to gain connections in life through a digital medium.

Keene State College Academic and Career Adviser Louise Ewing shared some information for KSC students about what they should start paying attention to.

“You cannot avoid it, students need to look at the privacy settings such as Facebook. On Facebook you can go to the settings and list it as private such as tagging photos,” Ewing said.

“Many employers are googling applicants for jobs. If you can get hired or not,” Ewing explained.

According to Ewing, around 80 percent of companies will google their applicant’s name for a job or internships.

Keene State graduate Carter Roane said he was aware that companies can do this for safety measures.

“I used to work at Res. Life at other schools. I had a blog, and one of the interviewers was impressed by my blog.

They do pay attention, I was glad that my blog was professional. I was an RA [resident assistant] for three years,” Roane said.

Roane said he also started to pay attention to what he posted and he didn’t post anything negative on his Facebook page.

Owls nest Resident Assistant Christie Kushnir was also aware that companies can do this for safety measures.

“No, I never had a job that did this. I work as a nanny in my hometown. Besides, I have nothing to hide,” Kushnir said. Kushnir explained that she always pays attention on what she posts online.

“I feel like it is invading your privacy. However, I feel like you have to pay attention [to] what you post online

Take a class in blowing glass KENDALL POPE

Managing ExEcutivE Editor Glassblowing is an art that melts color, texture, shape and passion all into one. Owner and educator at the Hot Glass Art Center in Marlborough, NH, Jordana Korsen came across glassblowing has her own space to teach her true passion.

“Glass is my jam, glass is my medium and teaching is really what I’m good at and that’s when I realized I needed to start my own place,” Korsen said.

Korsen was teaching glassblowing at Franklin Pierce College for over 20 years and decided to leave the academic setting due to its restrictions for students and change.

“The idea came from the need to want to teach but not in a traditional academic setting, because the traditional is exhausting,”Korsen said.

She continued, “I felt the need to move along from that kind of atmosphere to an atmosphere that embraces all types [of] ages and it doesn’t matter where you came from. If you want to learn about glass we’ll teach you about glass. There’s no prerequisites or if you don’t have a pedigree in blah,blah,blah then you can’t take that, and it’s not about that here. I think people recognize that and appreciate it. We have kids and old people types of walks of life come here and everybody is treated the same and that’s what it should be about, but that’s sadly what it’s seldom about. I can learn and enjoy.”

Korsen contacted a former student and long time friend Brigida Mosley. Mosley concentrated in glass blowing and pottery in college at Franklin Pierce where the two met and before working at the art center was assisting other local artists with various projects.

“When she [Korsen] said she was doing this I said by all means whatever you need,” Mosley said.

As Korsen’s assistant, Mosley said that Korsen can make whatever someone wants and that she rarely says no to people who bring her challenging projects.

“She’s [Korsen] so skilled, she’s made many things, and if she hasn’t made it she has the skills One of the things that’s unique about the center is that there’s a variety of options to create their own glass art.

One way to get the hands-on experience is too

book a private lesson. The lesson can be one on one or with a group of people. The private lessons cost $85.00 an hour and people can usually make two pieces in an hour. According to Korsen, the private lessons are the most popular.

“We set up a time that works for their life, usually one of two of us is teaching and it’s one hundred percent hands-on learning. It’s the epitome of hands-on learning. We have them get right into it and make whatever they’re interested in making. It’s all hard. So it’s not like ‘You can’t make that because it’s hard,’ because it’s all hard so just make what you want, “ Korsen said.

Keene Middle School Art teacher and friend of Korsen, Kristin Froling brought her son and daughter to the center to celebrate her daughter’s birthday.

Froling said she was curious about the center

ing pipe and take the amount of glass you need from the main oven. Next, to create the color of the piece by taking the glass and dipping it into a bowl of broken pieces of the color the person wants, then put the dipped piece in the smaller oven to melt the two together. After that the blower will go through a series of ways to shape the glass.

Korsen said one way to shape the piece is to roll the molten glass on a stainless steel table called a marver. The other is to shape the glass with various wooden tools at a seated station.

This process is repeated multiple times to get the held torch and placed in another oven to cool.

“It was incredible. They are so knowledgable and helpful and it’s not intimidating and the kids were really excited about it,” Froling said.

Froling’s son Ben, 11, said that the best part was getting to actually blow the glass himself and he said that he wants to come back soon. Ben, who made a drinking glass at their visit is already planning to challenge himself for next time.

“I’m not sure what but I think I want to make something a little harder but also really cool,” Ben Froling said.

The next option for those who want to truly learn how to blow glass is to sign up for either a six or eight week session.

“We give a little more trust to our recurring students because we know they’re coming back several times and are here for hours at a time. So we have them gathering and we give them more responsibility. It’s a commitment you have to be committed to doing it, to learning, improving and a one day thing isn’t enough to get that commitment level,” Korsen said.

If someone wants a special project but doesn’t have time to come make it themselves they can describe the piece and Korsen and her team will make it for them. However, if there are people in the area that know how to glass blow but do not have a space at home or studio to work in they can come and rent space in the center.

“They can come here, rent tools, rent pipes or bring their own tools. If they don’t we have everything they need to just come in and work if you know what you’re doing and are safe in the space,” Mosley said.

Safety is a huge concern considering that the main over holds 375 pounds of molten glass.

oven and are ready to picked up once they have cooled for 11 hours.

Aside from teaching her own classes at the center Korsen has teamed up with the New Hampshire Institute of Art and is advertising classes for the institute’s continuing education program.

“Through the program we’ve gotten some people we wouldn’t have reached out to otherwise so it’s good for us and good for them because it gives them ( NHIA) the opportunity

us the opportunity to branch out our network of people,” Korsen said.

When asked if she had reached out to Keene State College yet about a program like this Korsen said, “I’ve already talked to the dean and he seems super friendly and awesome and the head of the art department and they have all the paperwork so it’s just a matter of KSC agreeing this point and I don’t see why it shouldn’t work all those years at Franklin Pierce the Keene State students would eat it up and it would be great.

It would also be a little more special because it’s

that we’ll make it work out with them (KSC) too,” Korsen said.

The magazine that helped usher in the sexual revolution in the 1950s and '60s by bringing nudity into America's living rooms announced this week that it will no longer run photos of completely naked women. Starting in March, 2016, Playboy's print edition will still feature women in provocative poses, but they will no longer be fully nude.

KSC reacts to fantasy sports scandal NICK TOCCO

misrepresentation of their organizations, ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell said. Reportedly, Draft Kings employees, not being allowed to use Draft Kings, won a mass sum of money on a Fanduel account allegedly using advanced statistics and analytics to give them an unfair advantage.

Keene State College senior and Draft Kings user Zac Proctor started using Draft Kings this past summer and hasn’t stopped since.

Starting with a base of 25 dollars, Proctor said, “I haven’t cashed out at all, I always just keep investing.”

Proctor and some of his friends who use Draft Kings have had some success as Proctor said his room-

A been using Draft Kings and Fanduel for close to two years and has past week against Draft Kings and taken playing very seriously since Fanduel for fraud, negligence and the start of the Major League Base-

ball season in April.

Putting the scandal in perspective, Leischner said, ”It’s kind of like trying to get a better score than your friend on a math test but your friend has the answer key to the test and he doesn’t tell you.”

He continued,”I feel like I’ve been cheated out of a lot of money.

Every week I put in a ton of hours trying to create the perfect line up.

It’s not like I’m doing this for just fun either. I’m investing hundreds of dollars. This is a life changing amount of money that I’m playing for and it makes me so mad that there is a guy behind the scenes everyone else’s.”

Although he is outraged, Leischner said he’s still going to submit his NFL lineups every week, but not at as high stakes as he’s been playing recently. Leischner also shared his thoughts regarding the future of both sites.

“Draft Kings and Fanduel have already lost a lot of customers because of the scandal,” Leischner said. “The outcome of the case will decide whether or not people will continue playing.”

New England tops Dallas 30-6 JAKE COUGHLIN

adminiStrativE ExEcutivE Editor

Like I said, I did have a little bit of sympathy for the Cowboys going into this past week. That is, until I heard the comments dished out by Cowboys Defensive End Greg Hardy before the game.

Hardy, who was making his return from a 4-game suspension due to issues regarding domestic violence, took shots at Tom Brady, the Pats, and even made some eye-opening remarks about Brady’s supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen.

Now, I wouldn’t have cared that much if Hardy had just gone after Brady.

Everybody and their brother has tried to take shots at the king at one point or another. That’s just the nature of the game. But when someone who has just served a suspension for domestic violence takes a shot at another competitor’s wife, I personally feel that he deserves to have his teeth kicked in “if you come at the king, you best not miss”. Well, I think in this case it was more like, “if you come at the king’s wife, your team is going to lose by 30”.

I’ve been a Patriots fan for a really long time. I was throwing my hands up to signal touchdowns in front of the TV before I could crawl. One thing but at no point before or during that game was I worried that New England I’ve learned throughout my tenured experience as a football enthusiast is would do anything but bury the Cowboys in the ground.
