Small changes for birth control
The Obama administration has betrayed its Democratic base once again. The Justice Department plans to appeal a ruling made by the federal court that will allow morning-after pills available to women of all ages without a prescription. This drug has been deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration for all females able to to [...]
Pants are long overdue for female superheroes
If you had a city to save from a rampaging super-villain, would you have time to put all of your clothes on in the morning? Yes, you probably would. It turns out there’s really no excuse for why Wonder Woman and her fellow heroines are out fighting crime in their underwear. So why, then, are [...]
Violence breaks in town with more lemonade stands than cop cars
It used to be the town where nothing happened. Where the only type of crime was the occasional speeding ticket. The kind where picket fences line every road, where there are more lemonade stands than police cars, and where the only place to go on a Friday or Saturday night was the diner or old [...]
Being prepared in an increasingly violent city
With a 15 percent incident report increase from January to April as compared to last year’s data of the same time period, it is clear to see that Keene has statistically become more crime ridden. Moreover, many of the crimes this city, and by extension, this campus have seen, have been violent crimes, or crimes [...]
Even a little bit of success requires hard work
This is the last op-ed I will ever write for The Equinox. Pretty crazy to put that down in text. Graduating kind of feels like you’re dying. I don’t want to get that dramatic, but the thoughts I’ve been having—“I don’t have that much time left,” “I want to make the most of it,” “I [...]
Notoriety an issue in news media
It seems unquestionable that the people of this nation are fundamentally enthralled with notoriety and the carnage in which it’s derived. Whether it’s the Boston Marathon bombing incident, the Sandy Hook shooting or the Virginia Tech shooting, the people of this country will become, without doubt, obsessively attached to the news coverage of these events, [...]
A lack of responsibility and respect
I am having a hard time understanding anything anymore. It seems as though college has its own strange customs that are void of the rest of society’s expectations. Or, scarily enough, maybe this isn’t true. Maybe real world people, the average joes, are just as inconsiderate as the typical rowdy, belligerent college student. There is [...]
Campus Convenience’s little secret that no one knows
As a college senior and a journalist I thought I knew close to everything there is to know about the unknown details of Keene State College. I know the names of all the buildings and where to find them. I know what the winter “soy sauce” is made of. I know all the go green [...]
A dedicated community can overcome any hardship
Throughout this spring semester Keene has experienced some hard news to shake—from numerous assaults and attacks to exploding plastic bottles all over the city. nd of course the effects of the Newtown shooting and the Boston Marathon bombings made their way into the hearts of students. But even among these tests of strength Keene State [...]
Finding a new perspective
There are many perspectives in which the world may be viewed. In my opinion, the most universal perspective stems from empathy, which is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. For example, a mosquito biting you is just a little guy trying to get food the only way he knows how. The [...]
