Calling all swing state students “Whether politics interests or annoys you, it’s more important now than ever to wake up and realize the future is in our hands.” EQUINOX STAFF

SAMANTHA MOORE / ART DIRECTOR

The need for swing state students to vote in the presidential election With the presidential election just over a month away, we’re getting down to the wire in terms of who will lead our country for the next four years. Whether politics interests or annoys you, it’s more important now than ever to wake up and realize the future is in our hands. It’s okay if you don’t care about Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, but we all should care about what happens to the country we live in because a big change will occur after the presidential election on November 8th. For those who reside in swing states, such as New Hampshire, voting matters even more. This is especially true for those of us who make up the younger demographics of college students. New Hampshire has many colleges for the size of the state, and as a result, many out-of-state students could play a huge role in swinging an election one way or another. It’s also pretty simple to register. Just bring

Students “Adopt A Street” to help clean up Keene MACKENZIE CLARKE

Student Life editor Groups and organizations from Keene State College came together to help clean up the city of Keene on Saturday, Sept. 24. The event “Adopt a Street” was premunity Relations. Students were provided gloves and trash bags to gather trash along the streets of Keene. Each organization was assigned to a certain area or street where they collected trash. The collection only takes between 30 minutes to an hour, and students were able to leave their trash bags under their assigned street sign where it was later collected to be disposed. Coordinator of Student and Community Relations Robin Picard led the students in the event to clean up Keene. Picard said the event had a huge turnout with approximately 100 signups and over 100 participants. “The idea is not just to clean up our streets once in awhile, but to get students to really own it, adopt it,” Picard said. She uses the term “adopt” because Adopt a Street isn’t just a onetime event. Picard said there are monthly clean ups in the fall and two in the spring, depending on when the snow melts. “Spring clean up is the hardest because what happens is people litter all winter and they don’t see it because the snow covers it,” Picard said. She said spring is when campus is “bursting with banquets and leadership dinners” so the spring clean up is a hard one. According to Picard, after clubs and organizations have cleaned a street more than once, a sign will be put up on that street with the club or organization name.

“We do live in this community, and I think it’s important that we take ownership of not just the trash that we make, but we want this community to be healthy and clean.” ROBIN PICARD COORDINATOR OF STUDENT AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

“Neighbors obviously love it, and I think it’s great promo,” Picard said, “I think it will be great if we get to the point where when the neighbors see us out there, maybe they’ll join us.” Picard said it’s not just students “picking up after neighbors,” but also picking up after other students. That’s where most of the trash comes from, sadly,” she said. Psi Upsilon member Hannah Lounder said her fraternity participated in the event because they are “very active in community service.” “That’s a big part of what we do, that’s really the point of fraternities is community service and helping out the community,” Lounder said. Psi Upsilon was assigned to Winchester Street for clean up. “This street is gross and it has a lot of party houses on it, so we really wanted to clean it up,” Lounder said. Another member of Psi Upsilon Brendan Ackerman said it is important to give back to the community.

“We’re all a part of [the community] and you get what you put in,” Ackerman said. “I think that if you put in a lot to your community, then your community will give it back to you.” Junior Kaleigh Votto said she enjoyed the event because “it [was] a way to gather groups of people to help the environment and make sure everything is picked up for the community.” Tau Kappa Epsilon also participated in the event. Community service chair Simon Jablokow said he wasn’t able to participate in Adopt a Street last year, but is “It’s something that all of my brothers love doing,” he said. Jablokow said he “just loves doing community service.” “I love being out here and doing this; it’s just one of those thing that gives a good start to the day,” he said. “It’s so easy,” Jablokow said. “People hate students because we throw trash everywhere, so if we go around and pick it up, it just helped everybody.” Any group or organization is encouraged to participate in Adopt a Street and can contact Robin Picard for more information. “We do live in this community, and I think it’s important that we take ownership of not just the trash that we make, but we want this community to be healthy and clean,” Picard said. really into the environment and ecology, this seems like a natural extension of the values that this college has,” she said.

Career clinic offers advice to KSC students MICHAEL FREMEAU

Equinox Staff Students come to college to get an education, and with that education, they expect to be able to get a good job in the real world. But there are a few students out there who have no idea what to do. Meanwhile, about 80 percent of students in the United States end up changing their major at least once, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. On average, college students change their major at least three times over the course of their college career, NCES stated. KSC has a multitude of resources to help you get on the right track. On Tuesday, Sept. 20, the Academic & Career Advisors (ACA) hosted a Career Clinic that was held at the TDS Center. The event was from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., so it was at an accessible time for most people. The Career Clinic was made to help students learn their options for their chosen areas of study and possible careers. Unfortunately, not many people showed up. More stu-

The current Career Clinic is over, but the Internship Fair will be held next month on Oct. 13. At this fair, students can connect with over 100 people all looking for interns and possible employees. The fair will be held in the Spaulding Gymnasium from 1:00 p.m.3:30 p.m. There are also two great options to use online, so when it’s a rainy day, you have a chance to network.

Professors work with Ken Burns RACHEL VITELLO

Equinox stAff On Sept. 20, the Night Owl Cafe featured Ken Burn’s documentary, “Defying the Nazis: The Sharp’s War.” Much of the research on the Sharp’s for this documentary was done by Larry Benaquist, Tom Durnford and Paul Vincent, professors here at Keene State College. The documentary followed the courageous acts of married couple Martha and Waitstill Sharp during World War II, as they work for the American Unitarian Association in Czechoslovakia, helping Jewish people, refugees and dissidents escape the increasing Nazi threat in Europe. The story is told through interviews with the now adult children whom the Sharp’s saved during the war with Tom Hanks narrating as Waitstill Sharp and Marina Goldman narrating as Martha Sharp. Dr. Durnford, professor of Modern Languages and Cultures, said, “We [himself and Dr. Benaquist] followed all the travels of the Sharp’s in Europe and have been

Thorne-Sagendorph Gallery displays superb art accompanied by prestigous guests NICK TOCCO

normally perceived as normal and mainstream. I’d say it was probably pretty well received.” The gallery featured appearances by consultant for the Graduate School of Art and Design at Harvard University Kathy King and distinguished Harvard University ceramics instructor Mark Burns. Burns and King viewed the artwork featured at the showing while leading conversational groups after the walkthrough where they provided professional feedback on how each piece was designed and the subject matter they led themselves to. Director of the Thorne Sagendorph Art Gallery Brian Wallace said the gallery intends on having

more established and knowledgeable artists like Burns and King at the gallery in hopes of attracting both students and faculty members. “One of the things we’re doing here is we’re trying to have artists here more often,” Wallace said. “This is a trend at museums and galleries. It’s another kind of point of entry for people… Having Mark and Kathy here to give some perspective on this ceramic show seemed like a really good idea.” In terms of turnout, Wallace said there were more faculty members present at the event than students, which he found disappointing. The gallery itself is trying to attract more students and faconly more established artists, like Burns and King, but also food, drinks and even live music performances from bands and DJ’s. Wallace also mentioned that he wants ings to gallery attendants to avoid the cliche of wine and cheese at an art showing. “Were also trying, working within the budget and other limitations we have, to try to do food and drink that aren’t the standard,” Wallace said. “I’d rather have something that’s interesting, I wouldn’t have at home, something to talk about if your words run out in front of the art.”

over claims as money from the fund is being distributed this week for victims of the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history. “We do have a number of disputes amongst families of the dead,” said Alex Martins, chair of the OneOrlando board and also president of the Orlando Magic basketball team. “It’s parents in dispute with a partner, who perhaps they didn’t know, or it’s estranged parents, claiming each one of them should receive the funds.” No funds will be distributed on those claims until the disputes are resolved, and if they aren’t resolved soon, the claims will be sent to probate court to sort out who receives the money, Martins said. The $29.5 million in the fund will be distributed to 299 claimants, with more than half of the money going to the estates of the deceased victims. Thirty-seven patrons who required hospitalization will receive $65,000 to $300,000, depending on how long they were in the hospital; eight victims were in the hospital for more than 24 nights and will receive $300,000 each. Another 31 injured patrons who required outpatient treatment each will get $35,000, and 182 patrons who were at the club but weren’t injured will each get $25,000.

aP Golf WritEr Arnold Palmer charged across the golf course and into America’s living rooms with a go-for-broke style that made a country-club sport popular for the everyman. At ease with presidents and the public, he He never lost that personal touch. That’s what made him the King. Palmer died Sunday in Pittsburgh at 87. Alastair Johnston, the CEO of Arnold Palmer Enterprises, said Palmer was admitted to the UPMC Hospital on Thursday for cardiovascular work and weakened over the last few days. Palmer was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997, which was caught early. “Arnold transcended the game of golf,” Jack Nicklaus said. “He was more than a golfer or even great golfer. He was an icon. He was a legend.” President Barack Obama tweeted: “Here’s to The King who was as extraordinary on the links as he was generous to others. Thanks for the memories, Arnold.” Palmer’s place in golf history went well beyond his seven major championships and 62 PGA Tour wins. His good looks, devilish grin and hard-charging style of play made the elite sport appealing to all. He arrived about the time television moved into most households. Palmer also was a pioneer in sports marketing, paving the way for many athletes to reap in millions from endorsements. Some four decades after his last PGA Tour win, he ranked among golf’s

highest-earners. “It is not an exaggeration to say there would be no modern-day PGA Tour without Arnold Palmer. There would be no PGA Tour Champions without Arnold Palmer. There would be no Golf Channel without Arnold Palmer,” PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement. It was, of course, not just the victories, but how he won. He would hitch up his pants, drop a cigarette ful hands wrapped around the golf club, Palmer would slash at the ball, twist that muscular neck and squint to see where it went. “When he hits the ball, the earth shakes,” Gene Littler once said. He was never dull. Consider that Palmer rallied from seven shots behind to win a U.S. Open. He blew a sevenshot lead on the back nine to lose a U.S. Open. He left behind a gallery known as “Arnie’s Army,” which began at Augusta National with a small group of soldiers from nearby Fort Gordon and grew to include legions of fans from around the globe. Palmer stopped playing the Masters in 2004 and hit the ceremonial tee shot every year until 2016, when age began to take a toll. He never won the PGA Championship, one major short of a career Grand Slam. But then, the standard he set went beyond trophies. It was the way he treated people, looking everyone in the eye with a smile and signing every autograph, making sure they were legible. He never liked “The King” label but it stuck. “I don’t relish it,” he told The

Associated Press in 2011. “I tried for a long time to stop that, and there was no point.” Palmer played at least one PGA Tour event every season for 52 consecutive years, ending with the 2004 Masters. He spearheaded the growth of the 50-and-older Champions Tour, winning 10 times. He was equally successful in a wine collection and apparel that included his famous logo of an umbrella. He bought the Bay Hill Club & Lodge upon making his winter home in Orlando, Florida. In 2007, the PGA Tour changed the tournament’s name to the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Palmer was born Sept. 10, 1929, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, the oldest of four children. His father, Deacon, became the greenskeeper at Latrobe Country Club in 1921 and the club pro in 1933. Palmer joined the PGA Tour in 1955 and captured the Canadian green jackets at Augusta National, the British Open in 1961 and 1962 and the U.S. Open in 1960. Palmer’s last PGA Tour win came in 1973 at the Bob Hope Classic. Only four other players won more PGA Tour events — Sam Snead, Nicklaus, Woods and Ben Hogan. in 1999. They had two daughters, and grandson Sam Saunders plays on the PGA Tour. Palmer married Kathleen “Kit” Gawthrop in 2005.

From working with children to volunteering at the special Olympics, community service shows to be an important aspect in team bonding at KSC. The men’s soccer team volunteered by cleaning a local farm. KSC junior Tom Bartley said he believes helping out in the community shows that his team cares. “We form a friendship and bond with the people of the community and, in turn, we have that feeling of fellowship by sharing common attitudes,” Bartley said. “If we are involved with the community then the community will be involved back with us, creating a good relationship with the team,” he added.
