Sleepy faces and numb

bodies could have been the

greatest enemies for speakers at

the Keene State College’s Eighth

Biennial Symposium. However,

Assistant Professor of Health Sci-

ence Jeanelle Boyer and Coor-

dinator of Wellness Education,

Tiffany Mathews, held a confer-

ence with the intention that no

students would show tiredness,

or even have a chance to get

sleepy.

Combining healthy lifestyle

tips, interactive activities and

a brief yoga session, the panel-

ists addressed some of the most

common causes of stress for KSC

students.

‘Balancing Work and Personal

Life: What Can Individuals and

Institutions Do to Take Well-

ness Beyond Direct Measures of

Population Health?’ The confer-

ence was held in Madison Street

Lounge Tuesday, November 5.

The presenters covered how stu-

dents as individuals and KSC as

an institution can make positive

changes to help balance work

life while maintaining a healthy

life.

“I think that we just tried to

bring our own experience and

our own personal and profes-

sional experience to the session.

Maybe, people are more aware

of what they might be faced with

later,” Mathews said about the

event.

Even though most people

who attended this event were

students not yet in the workplace,

Understanding and taking responsibility for

common places and ideas that people share was the

theme for this year’s biennial symposium at Keene

State College.

“Finding Your Place in the Evolving Commons” was

WKH�WLWOH�DQG�WKHPH�WKDW�KRXVHG�D�ÀYH�GD\�ORQJ�YDULHW\�of events exploring “our places in public spaces we set

aside for care and cultivation of the resources, public

and private, that we share in community with others.

The commons refers to this space, recognizing that its

reality is often rooted in but not limited to physical

locality and literal presence,” according to the sympo-

sium’s website.

Program Manager of Diversity and Multicultural-

ism at KSC and symposium committee member, Kim

Schmidl-Gagne, said the commons are there so people

can come together to exchange thoughts and ideas.

The symposium raised many questions relating to a

variety of different commons, which aimed to boost

thoughtful dialogue among students, faculty, staff and

the community.

“Questions like ‘what do we owe ourselves cultur-

ally? What do we value in terms of supporting the arts

and what does that bring to us? How do we learn from

it? How do we share those experiences, so a shared

experience could be going to a concert together, what

does that add to our being together as a community?’”

Schmidl-Gagne continued, “So that’s what the com-

mons is, those things that we share whether its physi-

cal spaces or things that are a little less tangible, like

the air we breathe and the quality we want it to be...

But I think it really started with how do we have chal-

lenging dialogues about these things.”

Schmidl-Gagne said this year’s symposium theme

was selected differently than in previous years. Early

on, faculty members would come up with ideas that

were supported and chosen.

In the planning for this year’s symposium, which

began two years ago, former provost Melinda

Treadwell put out the word around campus that they

were looking for a theme and encouraged individuals

and groups to submit proposals.

A group that Schmidl-Gagne was a part of called

The American Democracy Project, which is a multi-

campus initiative that seeks to foster informed civic

engagement in the United States, came together and

produced a proposal for the evolving commons theme

and was then selected.

Schmidl-Gagne explained that this year’s theme

was designed to last for a whole year. There were

events hosted last spring relating to the commons and

events will continue until spring of 2014.

“This is the third symposium I’ve been involved in

and they’ve all been wonderful,” she continued and

said that when past symposiums were complete, there

was little follow-up action. She said this year is dif-

ferent. “This one—because we’ve been working on it

for so long and it will continue—we’re really hoping

to bring about some cultural change and some deep

learning and deep exploring of the topic,” Schmidl-

Gagne said. Junior and economics major Chris Croth-

ers is a student in Political Economy of the Commons,

a 400-level economy class which directly correlates

to the symposium theme and allowed students to be

“If it can inform or teach

you to better watch your

JULIE CONLONManaging ExEcutivE Editor

If two minds are greater than one, than Keene State College students can rest assured that the 16 minds that traveled to the National Association for Campus Activities conference came home with a variety of ideas for the stu-dent population.

The mission statement for the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA) states “NACA will be the recognized leader in higher education for providing members with innovative practices and access to pro-grams that support campus engagement.”

Ryan Mahan, Social Activities Council [SAC] events coordinator, has a mission of his own. Mahan explained he traveled with a crew of SAC members to the conference hosted in Hartford, Connecticut, with KSC on his mind. Mahan stated, “While we are there the main focus is ‘do we think this could be successful for Keene?’”

What Mahan referred to is the confer-ence’s content. Mahan explained SAC is a member of NACA, and through SAC’s mem-bership, he and his team receive discounts when they book artists, shows and events through NACA. Mahan stated nearly every event established on campus last year and looking ahead through the 2013-14 year was booked through NACA and the “blockbook-ing” technique.

Mahan explained that costs decrease as colleges in one general area communicate and book the same act over a short period of time for their own colleges. For example, if KSC desired one artist supported by NACA, events coordinator Mahan may communicate with the University of New Hampshire and Plymouth State to see where their interest lies in order that all three schools may book the VDPH�DUWLVW�ZLWKLQ�D�IRXU�GD\�SHULRG��VLJQLÀ-cantly cutting the cost for each booking.

“It gives a general smaller pricing for what we are trying to get. That’s one of the main reasons we go because we can get these acts IRU� VLJQLÀFDQWO\� FKHDSHU� SULFLQJ�µ� KH� VDLG��

“Just for us going to the conference that price drops.”

Student Involvement Coordinator Jen Fer-UHOO�VWDWHG�VLPLODU�EHQHÀWV� IRU� WKH�6$&�WHDP��which included two student employees, Chel-sea Harris and Kelly Welch, who work for Ferrell. Welch works with the late night pro-grams, while Harris, the student involvement assistant, went with the purpose of looking for additional events and people to sponsor IRU�WKH�RIÀFH�RI�VWXGHQW�LQYROYHPHQW�DQG�WKH�student center.

Ferrell stated, “For all intensive purposes, there’s a pretty broad variety of program-matic things that people are presenting there.

The ability to go to that conference…You are able to go booth to booth and meet different agencies, novelties, service providers that do things on campus for us, it’s those three por-tions that are the big pieces of the conference.”

Ferrell said the money the group saves by being members with NACA and booking through the association is huge. “You can get those acts at a cheaper rate than you would at another time. So even though we spend some money to go to the conference, we would more than make up for what that cost is in VDYLQJV�µ� VKH� VDLG�� ´,W·V� VXSHU� EHQHÀFLDO�� %\�the time it’s all set and down, probably right here we are saving about ten grand.”

SAC Vice President Meredith Trabilsy attended the NACA conference for the third time. Trabilsy said SAC’s attendance cuts costs for programming substantially. “We

do get almost all of our acts from NACA,” the junior explained, “We are saving a whole bunch of money which a lot of people don’t understand.” Trabilsy explained that while at the conference, students have the opportu-nity to explore a plethora of options for shows, events and function they can bring back to Keene.

Ferrell added that this group is able to stay on top of current trends and stay ahead of the curve on what is new and exciting so they can bring these events to KSC , “They are seeing what’s new, what’s different in addition to what’s new for performances, they’re seeing what’s new for novelties and giveaways…every year we see something that’s like wow I’ve never seen that before that’s really cool and get ideas from it.”

Trabilsy said,“Our goal as our organiza-tion is to put on events for the entire student body. We understand that not everybody likes the same thing. That’s why we go.” She continued and said the group seeks versatil-ity and strives to bring that home.

“There are sixteen different brains that are going saying ‘this would bring in these people, Keene has never seen this.’ We can’t EULQJ� DOO� ÀYH� WKRXVDQG� VWXGHQWV� DQG� VD\��

‘What do you think?’”Treasurer Hannah Gawrys mentioned the

EHQHÀW�RI�WKH�FRQIHUHQFH�FRPLQJ�IURP�D�QHZ�angle as the senior touched on educational sessions she and other members attended.

“Other than seeing new stuff that we’ve never seen, a lot of us are also involved in other organizations and this helps us learn about the leadership role and better our roles,” she explained, “I’ve gone to sessions about being D� EHWWHU� OHDGHU³7KDW� NLQG� RI� VWXII� LV� EHQHÀ-cial for us personally.”

Sandra Pais, another KSC student in attendance, said she also didn’t know this hap-pened in China and India. She stated, “It makes me feel like our government focuses its energy on other things like the Middle East and oil, and this stuff is happening and we don’t do anything about it.”

According to KSC’s web-site, the symposium focused on the “understanding, locat-ing, and taking responsibil-ity for our places in the public spaces.”

KSC’s website included information on how the com-munity must understand and examine “how our gender impacts our sense of safety and value both in the local and global context.”

Davis’s website evangrae-davis.com, stated that while in college, Davis found himself

“fascinated with cameras and telling stories and it seemed D�QDWXUDO�ÀW�WR�FDSWXUH�VWRULHV�about suffering people who needed a helping hand and those who gave it to them.”

According to Davis, “It’s a Girl” came out about a year ago and said it premiered in 20 countries around the world.

The pie charts varied from person-to-per-son, and generally involved activities like sleep, ZRUN��OHLVXUH��VRFLDO��ÀWQHVV�DQG�VFUHHQ�WLPH�

“I liked doing the pie chart activity. That was UHDOO\�KHOSIXO�DQG�,�WKLQN�,�FDQ�GHÀQLWHO\�ÀJXUH�out different ways to manage time, or even do a daily pie chart from day to day,” Jen Wiemers, a health science senior said about the activity.

“It just kind of helped balance my time, to see the full perspective of what my life consists RI�ULJKW�QRZ��DQG�,�WKLQN�WKDW�GHÀQLWHO\�WKHUH·V�some stuff I could improve on,” Kaitlin McClel-lan, another KSC senior in the health science ÀHOG��VDLG�

However, perhaps it is the little things stu-dents, employees, employers, or community members need to do in order to begin living a healthy lifestyle while controlling a work life as well.

KSC students McClellan and Wiemers explained what they learned from the event and what they can start doing to balance their lives.

“To set an hour, no matter what you have to do, just set an hour for yourself to relax. Even just watch TV for an hour, or just do something to disconnect you from all the stress you’re feel-ing,” McClellan said.

“Do something at the beginning and end of the day. So, like myself, I exercise in the morn-ing and then at night I can give myself thirty minutes to do something. Doesn’t always happen but that’s okay,” Wiemers added.

“Stress doesn’t stand alone. Stress is the number one health issue among college stu-dents and it’s not different here at Keene State,” Mathews said to end this symposium event about balancing work and personal life.

STAFF COMMENTARY

Mourning process changes through use of social media Death is now an open forum for

all to victimize themselves. Not too long ago, when a tragedy

occurred and a life was taken, there was an understandable mourn-ing period in which those affected could shut themselves out from the world.

With the spike in technology in the world we now live in, soci-ety is not so quick to allow heal-ing anymore. Social media has given a whole new meaning to the phrase “word of mouth,” and trag-edy is no exception. When news of a death, particularly that of a younger human, hits social media, 974 of that human’s closest friends send their

condolences via carefully crafted Facebook statuses.

The immediate family of the one who has passed on is bombarded with wall posts ranging from, “Your sister seemed very sweet this one time I met her at a party,” to “your son made me laugh in science class every day in the sixth grade.”

No matter how many years have SDVVHG�VLQFH�WKH�ÀQDO�LQWHUDFWLRQ��VR�many social media users try to fab-ricate a sense of loss through their page in order to feel sympathized for, and thus cared for. It is no secret that social media is used to seek JUDWLÀFDWLRQ�IURP�RXU�SHHUV��EXW�ZH�have stopped at no extreme in seek-

ing that attention, acceptance, or sympathy in pursuit of likes, com-ments, and friend requests.

Society has put so much empha-sis on the way others view us that many of us have forgotten what it is like to truly feel the emotion we are attempting to radiate, whether it be love, pain, sorrow, or joy. We ask the world to share in our suffering, though we may not actually be suf-fering at all. In the case of death, we seek the suffering that those imme-diately affected by the tragedy are feeling and in turn minimize the pain that they may be feeling.

With the use of social media, we have become an entirely self-

centered society. We go so far as to “like” a page claiming to support a certain cause, but many of us have never donated a dollar nor a minute of our time to provide real help to that cause. We detach ourselves in real life to attach ourselves virtually, adding the rising apathy levels in our country.

That apathy level is going to lead to our demise, and if we want to stop it we had better log off and experience life without somebody else’s pain.

The Symposium questions ‘evolvement’ on campus

Last week, Keene State College hosted it’s Eighth Biennial Sym-posium, focusing on the concept of “Evolving Commons,” although many students did not understand the purpose behind these confer-ences or what a commons even represented.

According to the KSC website, “Finding Your Place in the Evolving Commons is about understanding, locating and taking responsibility for our places in the public spaces we set aside for the care and culti-vation of the resources, public and private, that we share in partner-ship with others. The commons refers to this space, recognizing that its reality is often rooted in but not limited to physical locality and literal presence.”

Therefore, throughout the week, students were able to write on a chalkboard outside the Media Arts Center geared toward the event while answering the question, “What do we owe each other?” A few UHVSRQVHV�ZHUH�KLJKO\�LQDSSURSULDWH�DQG�UHÁHFWHG�SRRUO\�RQ�WKH�VWX-dents’ knowledge of the events. Once again, our reputation has been questioned. One side of the chalkboard read, “I love meth.” How can we regain our good reputation when such a comment greeted all who stepped foot on the college campus, especially when the concept of a commons includes every one of us as students, faculty and guests?

While many students were at fault for the low turnout, we agree that the events could have been better promoted through classes and on campus. We should all be aware of what is happening on the KSC campus, especially since the planning for the week of symposium conferences started two years ago.

More importantly, the college spent a great deal of money plan-ning and executing each conference activity. Students are paying the bill here, however many are not taking advantage of what the college is offering them. Planned events should be more successful with the students on campus.

Participation is the key in spreading the knowledge from these HYHQWV��7KHPHV�VXFK�DV�WKH�FRQÁLFW�LQ�6\ULD�WR�WKH�1HZ�+DPSVKLUH�Death Penalty to an Ethiopian Music Workshop all tied back to the main purpose of understanding and taking responsibility for our places and ideas.

The message behind The Evolving Commons needs to be heard. As a KSC commons—a space we all gather—we have the responsibil-ity to talk about these issues and ideas that concern us. Although it may be easier to ignore, it is crucial to start understanding the world that exists in front of us.

Above all, college-aged students hold a great deal of strength in stating what we believe is right and wrong. Our voices need to be KHDUG��EXW�ÀUVW�ZH�PXVW�EHJLQ�GLVFXVVLQJ�LGHDV�ZLWK�WKRVH�DURXQG�XV��7KH�RYHUDOO�SXUSRVH�RI�WKH�V\PSRVLXP�ZDV�WR�ÀQG�RXU�SODFH�LQ�WKH�evolving commons.

Just as this campus evolves, we must evolve. This evolvement starts with changing our reputation, and then we need to share, create and explore these resources that the college has given us.

PAMELA BUMPGalway, Ireland

On a normal Monday afternoon, I

walked to campus and entered a class-

room with fellow a journalists of the school

newspaper, The Student Independent

News. Without hesitation, we stripped off

most of our clothing. I sat down in front

of a camera and unfolded my newspaper.

As I worked to keep myself hidden with

the pages as my shield, I realized that this

It is not unusual to see dogs being walked up and

down Appian Way during the weekday. Something that

may be unique, however, is that Keene State College

will provide dogs as stress relievers during exams week

in the library and through the residential halls.

In an article from USA Today, citing a Virginia Com-

monwealth University study, “employees who bring

their dogs to work produced lower levels of the stress-

causing hormone cortisol.” Professor Randolph Barker

of VCU commented on the study in an article from BBC

News and stated, “The employees as a whole had higher

job satisfaction than industry norms."

Peggie Partello, associate professor of communica-

tion at KSC, will be teaching an Introduction to Thinking

and Writing [ITW] course called The Role of Compan-

ion Animals. Partello is the owner a large white Russian

Samoyed named Mario. She said she believes that ani-

mals, and dogs in particular, can have incredible ben-

HÀWV�RQ�D�SHUVRQ·V�SV\FKH��“What we do know about animal companionship,

whether it's with children, young adults, seniors, is

that animals have an impact on your health. They can

men who might be feeling genuine homesickness for

WKH�ÀUVW�WLPH�LQ�WKHLU�OLYHV��"Freshmen are your people that are transitioning

from home and parents, friends, family. But what many

of my students tell me is that they actually miss their

pets more than their parents or siblings, believe it or not"

Partello said.

"You have to remember, kids grow up with these ani-

mals for a good portion of their lives, and they go to

them when they're sad or depressed or stressed or in

grief, and sometime the animals are the only ones that

they can really get solace from," she continued.

Bud Winsor, assistant director of physical plant at

KSC, also sees dogs a remedy for the issue of homesick-

ness. He is the owner of two golden retrievers, Austin

and Allie. Bud helped to put together an on-campus

program that brought therapy dogs to the freshman

UHVLGHQWLDO�KDOOV�SHULRGLFDOO\�LQ�WKH�ÀUVW�PRQWKV�RI�WKLV�semester.

"There was one night in Holloway, there had to be

like one hundred twenty students, or more. It was one

of those things, where early on I think that the fresh-

men were getting really homesick. There were students

that came in and hugged the dogs and didn't let go for a

while. It had a clear calming effect on the homesick feel-

ings that students feel," Winsor said.

Partello explained the sense of security that a dog

may provide.

"Certainly, dogs are going to notice things that people

don't. I mean I've stayed away from people just because

my dogs didn't like them while I was walking them"

Partello mentioned.

Junior Heather Fagan, whose miniature pinscher

named Penny lives back at home in New Jersey, took

the Role of Companion Animals class with Partello and

offered some comments about how dog companionship

can help students.

"The big thing is that we're basically all away from

home. Dogs can give people that sense of closeness or

companionship that they might be lacking, being away

from our foundation at home. And, at times, it's more

important to have a connection with an animal than

with people, because animals are so innocent, they can't

hurt you, all they have is love. There's no judgment," she

said.

Fagan once attended an event organized with the

Monadnock Humane Society in the student center

"It's all about if it works for the dog. In my case, I

However, for students who live on campus, or whose

housing is less than optimal for a pet, Partello had some

suggestions.

"There is an excellent humane society here, Monad-

nock Humane Society, on route ten. I was on their board

for many years; I did a lot of volunteer work and some

"I recommend that if students want to see dogs and

cats, take a ride down there. It's not a far drive, and I

know a number of students that have done it when

WKH\�QHHGHG�WKHLU�DQLPDO�À[��7DNH�D�GRJ�RXW�IRU�D�ZDON��sit and play with a cat. It's therapeutic. They're always

looking for people to volunteer. "

With the spring semester around the

corner, many second-year students have

started their search for off-campus housing.

Some students are willing to pay the

extra dollar for what they see as important,

and landlords are willing to provide those

services for a price.

)RUHPRVW� RQ� VWXGHQW·V� PLQGV� LV� SULFH��Sophomore house hunter Kelsey Caron has

a limit, “Six hundred bucks is way too much,

four hundred would be ideal but all of the

houses close to campus are over six hun-

dred without heat,” the sophomore claimed.

The distance from campus can affect the

rent for some apartments.

&RU\� 6KHSKHUG� RI� 6KHSKHUG·V� &ROOHJH�Rentals acknowledged that rent is higher

ones that are middle walking distance,” he

explained.

Some students are willing to take the

walk for less rent.

Cribs said.

For Grauer, utilities vary by lease as well.

“The tenant is the biggest variable when

it comes to utility costs. If you put a mini-

fridge in every room, crank the heat and

OHDYH� WKH� OLJKWV�RQ��REYLRXVO\�\RX·UH�JRLQJ�to pay more,” he said.

For Allen, the inclusion of utilities is

an important part of the apartment search.

The off-campus renting process varies as

much for students as it does for landlords,

as Grauer said, “It varies by tenant and

apartment.”

One may wonder why there is such a popularity outburst with zombies in the past few years. Several Keene State College students weighed into these questions and talk about the undead.

Author of an online article titled “Gen-eration whY!? Why Are We Obsessed With Zombies” by Tyler Gildin said, “Maybe the reason we love zombies so much is because we subconsciously want to live in a state of lawlessness,” and continued, “…What’s ironic though, is how as a society, we have almost become like zombies. Attached to our smart phones, computers and other devices, we pretty much walk around in a trance.”

James Calnan, member of Humans vs. Zombies club (HVZ), said, “Zombies are so LQWHUHVWLQJ�«�%XW�DOVR�WKH\�UHÁHFW�ZKDW�ZH�don’t understand.”

Fellow member of HVZ, Nicolas Gar-rity, explained how zombies began in comic books, then moved into movies and video games. Garrity said, “Everyone is trying to keep up with everyone else—so I think the big thing is that everyone wanted in on the ‘new thing’ that’s so popular and they wanted to strive from it.”

As for a correlation between zombies and technology in society today, nothing is TXLWH�FHUWDLQ�RU�GHÀQHG��EXW�VWXGHQWV�KDYH�opinions about it. Calnan said, “I think our generation has more of an interest in zom-bies just because of all the technology that we have.”

KSC junior Nico Saraceni said, “I hadn’t made that connection but that’s really true… I think a lot of people I would consider more undead than alive nowadays. But that’s crazy to think about.”

Garrity said, “For me I just think zom-bies—just, the undead—is a cool concept for stories… But yeah, I can see where people make the comparison.”

Saraceni broke down how the zombie infatuation has been sustained. He said he enjoyed the newer zombie-themed TV show, ‘The Walking Dead.’ Saraceni contin-XHG�WR�WDON�DERXW�RQH�RI�WKH�ÀUVW�UHDO�]RPELH�movies that hit American culture. “I guess 1LJKW�RI�WKH�/LYLQJ�'HDG�ZDV�WKH�ÀUVW�DFWXDO�zombie movie, but it hasn’t taken off until QRZ��,�WKLQN�WKDW·V�GHÀQLWHO\�EHFDXVH�RI�WKH�show [The Walking Dead]. TV reaches a lot more people than zombies themselves do.”

According to the article Why We’re Obsessed with the Zombie Apocalypse on LiveScience.com, Stanford literary scholar

$QJHOD� %HFHUUD� 9LGHUJDU� GLVFXVVHV� WKH� À[-ation with zombies and how they educate people on how to survive in case of mass-destruction. “Even if as a society we have lost a lot of our belief in a positive future and instead have more of an idea of a disas-

ter to come, we still think that we are survi-vors, we still want to believe the we could survive,” she said. “Zombies are important DV� D� UHÁHFWLRQ�RI� RXUVHOYHV�µ�9LGHUJDU� DOVR�said.

Calnan asked, “If there was ever a

zombie apocalypse who would survive? ...looking at The Walking Dead thinking, you know, those are the people who would actually survive. But what would it take for people to survive, what skill set would you have to have?” Whether The Walking

Dead is a part of the life of a student or not, zombie tales are now present in television, movies and books.

Zombies refLect technology usage in students

Not only did this event help KSC students become more culturally knowledgeable, it also honored a tradi-tion for some of our exchange students who are miles from their homes.

Heather Cook, an exchange student in her third year at York St. John University, was thrilled to hear about .6&�%RQÀUH�1LJKW�

“I remember this ever since I was a child. We got the ZKROH�FRPPXQLW\�WRJHWKHU�DQG�ZH·G�KDYH�D�ELJ�ERQÀUH�ZLWK� ÀUHZRUNV� DQG� VSDUNOHUV�µ� &RRN� VDLG�� ´,W·V� UHDOO\�special. I was excited to share this with everyone.”

KSC Global Culture Club’s main goal is to promote and embrace diversity across campus by spreading dif-ferent types of culture and awareness, according to the .HHQH�6WDWH�*OREDO�(GXFDWLRQ�2IÀFH�ZHEVLWH�

The group, which meets every other Thursday in the L.P. Young Student Center, is known for planning events that revolve around acquainting exchange stu-dents to the KSC community through events and vari-ous trips around New England.

Nick Swain, a sophomore at KSC, recognized the importance of these types of events.

“Well, I was on my way to the library when I stum-bled upon this,” Swain said, “It’s great! We have our Halloween, Thanksgiving and other traditions. It would only make sense that we do the same thing for

our exchange students.”There was free food and lots of laughter to be shared

food and friends,” Donovan said, “but it turned out to have such a deeper meaning, which is great.”

In 1605, a man named Guy Fawkes and his group schemed to bomb the UK’s Parliament and ultimately assassinate King James I of England.

Students who showed up had the opportunity to chat with the UK exchange students as well as mem-bers of the KSC Global Culture Club to learn more about the history of the Fifth of November.

“This makes us more aware of diversity and I think it’ll open up people’s eyes,” Donovan said.

“Debo Band” singer, Bruck Tesfaye, performs on Wednesday, November 6, in the Redfern Arts Center’s Alumni Recital Hall.

‘Debo Band’ brings Ethiopian pop music to Keene State College campusSHANNON FLYNN

Social Media director

One may think that working with 11 other band mates can be a little tricky. However, the members of Boston-based

“Debo Band” seem to make it work.“It’s a pain in the ass. Logistically it’s a

pain in the ass,” Jonah Rapino, the band’s electric violinist jokingly said.

According to the band’s creator, Danny Mekonnen, scheduling is the biggest challenge the eleven-member band has. Mekonnen said getting everyone in the same place is challenging.

On Wednesday, November 6, Keene State College and the Redfern Arts Center welcomed the Ethiopian pop music group.

“We’ve been interested in having them here before and the timing just worked out. It’s been a few years in the works,” Sharon Fantl, the assistant director at the Redfern Arts Center said.

Fantl said she found out about the band three years ago through a mutual friend who was helping spread the word about them.

The band performed at the Alumni Recital Hall at the Redfern Arts Center from 7:30 p.m. to about 9:15 p.m. “Debo Band” played numerous tunes and had the audience up on their feet dancing to each song.

“It was great. I loved the brass section,” KSC student Alex Habibi said.

“There was great energy. There was a good mix of Western and Eastern,” KSC student, Fritz Henning, said. Both students said they had never heard of the band before and agreed that their favorite part was the traditional song.

There was a crowd of approximately 30 to 40 people dancing in front of the stage with the band. “Everyone dancing in the front row,” Rapino said, was his favorite

part of the performance. As of Wednesday afternoon, Fantl said

there were 100 tickets left for sale and the Alumni Recital Hall holds approximately 360 people. Altogether, there were approx-imately 200 audience members present.

After the performance, there was a meet-and-greet reception where Ethiopian food was prepared, the band’s merchan-dise was out for sale and, of course, the band was present to take photographs and sign autographs.

During their time at KSC, the band not only played the concert Wednesday night. During the day Wednesday, the band spoke at a workshop as guest speakers for this year’s “Evolving Commons” Sympo-sium.

According to Fantl, the band spoke of the commons and community during their workshop. They also visited the Childhood Development Center to visit the children. Fantl said the band performed for the chil-dren and talked to them about their instru-ments.

“It was a really great way to involve the VPDOOHU� NLGV� RQ� FDPSXV� DQG� LW� ZDV� GHÀ-nitely very heartwarming to know that >WKLV@� ZDV� VRPH� RI� WKH� ÀUVW� H[SRVXUHV� WR�really see some instruments up close. They were all pretty excited about it,” Fantl said.

Mekonnen described the music he and his band plays as Ethiopian pop with some folk, 1970s Ethiopian funk as well as their own original creations.

Mekonnen is one of the two mem-bers of the band with Ethiopian decent. He said the idea of starting an Ethiopian band came about because several of the members were interested in learning that kind of music and there were no Ethiopian bands around that area.

Above is the spiral staircase at the front entrance of Elliot Hall. This was the original front entrance to what was formerly known as Elliot Hospital, the first hospital in Keene. The stairs led up to the third floor bedrooms for employees and a few nursing students. When Joslin House was donated to the hospital for student housing, the third floor eventually turned into the obstetric department.

to Mekonnen, the band plays approximately 50 shows

a year.

That breaks down to about one show a week.

Mekonnen mentioned that the band has gone on one

to two week tours also. The band also plays at festivals

all over the United States and Canada.

Mekonnen said they have played at Southwest

Austin, the New Orleans Jazz Festival, Bonaroo and fes-

tivals in Montreal.

The eleven-member music group has nine men and

two women.

The band is made up of a vocalist, two guitarists, a

Willard Williams, owner of the Toadstool Book-shops in Keene and Peterborough, presented what he said was another issue that comes with e-readers when he said people can easily stray from what they are read-ing by looking at their email or going on websites and not coming back to the book.

“The distracting aspect of the tablet may interfere with someone’s ability to retain what they have been UHDGLQJ�� 7KDW� LV� VRPHWKLQJ� WKDW� ,�DP�FXULRXV� WR�ÀQG�out,” Williams said.

Telekinesis: a form of high school revenge

NICK BUNDARINEquinox Staff

Since the remake of the movie “Carrie” came out

LQ�2FWREHU��,�IHHO�,�KDYH�WR�GLVFXVV�6WHSKHQ�.LQJ·V�ÀUVW��and my favorite novel, “Carrie.” It is a Cinderella story

of pain and revenge in the darkest sense.

Carrie White is a timid and bullied girl who suf-

fers ridicule of her peers and the psychotic religious

fanaticism of her mother.

After an extremely brutal attack from her peers,

Carrie learns she has the power of telekinesis, which

is the power to move objects with one’s mind. Over

the course of the story, Carrie trains her powers to

SHUIHFWLRQ�DQG�ÀQGV�HPSRZHUPHQW�ZLWKLQ�KHUVHOI��+RZHYHU�� ZKHQ� VKH� JRHV� WR� SURP�� VKH� VXͿHUV� D�

vicious and terrible assault. This triggers Carrie’s

breaking point and with her terrifying powers she

turns not just her prom, but also her entire town into

a funeral pyre of utter destruction.

This book is a compelling read for horror fans, but

also for people who have been bullied. I, like many,

can relate to Carrie’s high school turmoil and trying

WR�ÀQG�RXU�RZQ�SRZHU��This book does not teach people to get revenge

on their bullies, but teaches what happens when you

push someone too far.

Bullies have no idea who they are dealing with and

this is an extreme example of that fact. Even though

LW� LV�H[WUHPH�� ,� WKLQN� LW� LV�YHU\�DͿHFWLYH�DQG�6WHSKHQ�King’s mastery of storytelling conveys it perfectly.

Carrie White herself is a great character to love.

She is very relatable and her anger is perfectly under-

standable to the reader. Many people have called

Carrie a “tragic villain” or “anti-hero,” but I think they

overanalyze it. Carrie is every guy or girl who has had

WR� VXͿHU� ULGLFXOH� IURP� RWKHUV� DQG� IHHO� OLNH� WKH� XJO\�duckling. Bullying is a huge epidemic in America and

many kids have taken their lives because of it.

Besides Carrie, there are other fantastic characters.

Margaret White, Carries mother, is a psychotic reli-

gious woman who physically harms Carrie and locks

her in the closet for things that she dubs as sinful.

What makes her such a great character is that Mar-

garet should be Carrie’s safe haven from the cruelties

of school. Instead, Margaret dishes out her own abuse.

She is a large motivator for Carries telekinetic mass

murder.

King’s book generated a 1970s movie starring Sissy

Spacek as the title character Carrie. The 2013 remake

stars Chloe Moretz and the 2002 TV adaptation stars

Angela Bettis. There is also a sequel to the movie

FDOOHG�´7KH�5DJH�µ�DV�ZHOO�DV�DQ�RͿ�%URDGZD\�PXVLFDO��You can get the soundtrack on iTunes and I would say

it is very good.

The Good: The book is beautifully written with colorful imag-

ery and very well-rounded characters that don’t give

RͿ�D�VWHUHRW\SLFDO�YLEH��,W�LV�LQ�GHSWK�ZKHQ�LW�FRPHV�WR�bringing out emotion and gives a clear feel of being in

high school. The main character is relatable and very

likable. This book has a strong message that is teach-

able and very clear.

The Bad: Absolutely nothing.

Your Place in the Evolving Com-

mons,” The Redfern Arts Center

presented an introduction to

“City Council Meeting.”

On Tuesday, November 5, in

the Mountain View Room, “City

Council Meeting” incorporated

students into a performance of

what characteristics a town coun-

cil meeting would entail.

Writer Aaron Landsman and

director Mallory Catlett created an

atmospheric area where tables and

chairs were set up in the form of

an actual council meeting.

7R� ÀUVW� JHW� VWXGHQWV� WR� XQGHU-stand a city council meeting, a

video clip was presented for the

DXGLHQFH� DQG� WKH� GHÀQLWLRQ� RI�each term used in a council meet-

ing was explained.

Students and Keene commu-

nity members volunteered for posi-

tions such as the council, mayor,

speaker, supporter and bystander.

One student said, “I immedi-

ately raised my hand to be a part

of the act because I have never

been to a town meeting before, so I

wanted to know what it felt like to

be a part of one.”

Landsman said this piece

began after he attended a council

meeting in Oregon and was fasci-

nated with what happened during

the meeting.

“In [the year] two-thousand-

and-ten, I went back to New York

and was planning a way to turn

this into a performance with actors,

but then I was thinking, what do

we need to do to get the audience

to feel comfortable and not be

bored, and we decided to incorpo-

rate the audience,” Landsman said.

As the volunteers positioned

themselves to their proper seating

areas, Landsman and Catlett both

handed out instructed reading

pieces to each member depending

on what character they portrayed.

Landsman said, “This is a coun-

cil meeting about a poor inner-city

community who students and the

community want to bring atten-

tion to the council to help improve

the youth and their education, to

help them stay out of trouble.”

The council meeting was held

for 15 minutes with students por-

traying community members from

the inner-city and proposing their

plans to get the community more

involved in helping the youth.

When one Keene community

member asked what the goal of

this performance was, Lands-

man said, “The goal is to intro-

duce people to a council meeting

because the majority of people do

not go to their own town meetings.

It is also a way to let people see

what they are entitled to by put-

ting themselves in another person

or authorities’ position.”

Though this performance may

QRW�VHHP�DV�LI�LW�ÀWV�WKH�PROG�RI�WKH�typical art inspired performance,

Landsman said there is a connec-

tion.

“A lot of people do not see art

in a political form, and this piece

H[HPSOLÀHV� WKDW� EHFDXVH� ZH� DUH�EULQJLQJ� WZR� GLͿHUHQW� ZRUOGV�together,” he continued.

Catlett agreed and said, “Imag-

ine everyone as an artist, and

people who assumed they would

be watching the performance get

to be involved and view the piece

IURP� GLͿHUHQW� SHUVSHFWLYHV�µ� VKH�said.

Catlett said they bring this

piece “to middle schools, high

schools, colleges and to a bunch of

other places as well.”

“We work with students to

priests, to mothers and lawyers

all over the country. It’s amazing

to see what people say and how

WKH�SLHFH� DͿHFWV� WKHP�DIWHU� EHLQJ�involved in the act,” she said.

After this was performed, a

question and answer session took

place. Catlett and Landsman asked

the audience what, here in Keene,

should be improved or brought

to the attention of the town coun-

cil, not only for students, but town

residents as well. A stir of remarks

seemed to spark attention.

One town resident said, “The

recent Red Sox riot was very

destructive and unsafe for not

only students, but people who live

in Keene as well. Not to mention

Pumpkin Fest, where every year,

you know, drunken students will

be wandering the streets and dam-

aging things.”

On another side of the spec-

trum, Director of the Redfern Arts

Center Shannon Mayers said, “I

know that there has been a huge

LVVXH� RI� WKH� WRZQ� RI� .HHQH� ÁRRG-

ing and the campus and every year

WKH� FRXQFLO� WULHV� WR� SODQ� DQ� HͿHF-tive way of how to handle the situ-

ation.”

“You see, this is why we do

this act, there are always prob-

lems in every community and the

only way issues get solved is if it

is brought to the town’s attention,”

Landsman said.

“By you guys performing in this

piece you can truly see what it is

like to be a part of a council and

possibly attend a real meeting.”

The City Council Meeting will

return in February for a more

immersive residency, followed by

a three-week production residency

and performance of, “City Coun-

cil Meeting,” in its entirety in fall

2014. Deanna Caruso can be contacted

Amid gruesome typhoon scenes, aid trickles inTODD PITMANAssociAted Press

Typhoon-ravaged Philippine

islands faced a daunting relief effort

that had barely begun Monday, as

bloated bodies lay uncollected and

uncounted in the streets and sur-

vivors pleaded for food, water and

medicine.

Police guarded stores to prevent

people from hauling off food, water

and such non-essentials as TVs and

treadmills, but there was often no

one to carry away the dead — not

even those seen along the main

road from the airport to Tacloban,

the worst-hit city along the coun-

try’s remote eastern seaboard.

At a small naval base, eight

swollen corpses — including that

of a baby — were submerged in

sea water brought in by the storm.

Tacloban resembled a garbage

only by a few concrete buildings

that remained standing.

Another person killed was also a

Detectives suspect there was a dis-

investigating the motive and the rela-

shooter, Police Commissioner Raymond

Kelly said.

Preliminary reports from police that

the shooter had been a member of the

Yellow Dogs but was kicked out were

inaccurate, the manager said.

in East Williamsburg, an industrial

The winds, rains and coastal

storm surges transformed neighbor-

dangerous in town because relief

goods are trickling in very slow,”

said Bobbie Womack, an American

missionary and longtime Tacloban

know it’s a massive, massive under-

taking to try to feed a town of over

It could also position Cuba to

“The Port of Mariel could ... con-

Although coaches agree captains

are important, at Keene State Col-lege they have different methods of ensuring that there is leadership on their teams.

“No one is born as a leader, you have to learn how to lead, and if we can steer people towards leadership traits, that’s about the most impor-tant thing we do here,” head volley-ball coach Bob Weiner said. “These people get a special class on how to lead.”

While most KSC coaches des-ignate one or two captains every season, Weiner is taking a more unconventional approach this year. After assuming both of his captains from 2012 would be returning, he learned over the summer that one would be transferring while the other chose not to play in her senior year.

Weiner reasoned he could either hastily assign new captains or go without leaders for the season. Instead, he developed a class-by-class hierarchy, naming a “class rep-resentative” for each grade. Rather than captains, Sammy Dormio rep-resented the juniors while Olivia Broderick and Brooke Bell repre-sented the sophomores and fresh-men, respectively. Noticeably absent from that list is the seniors — Weiner has none.

Men’s and women’s swimming coach, Jack Fabian, is using the more traditional captain system. Fabian meets with his captains every week as part of a leadership course he

teaches them. Each week, they go over a different chapter in “The Team Captain Leadership Manual.” The captains usually have home-work and also occasionally have to present on different topics.

“They’re getting good, we’ve cov-ered quite a bit of material,” Fabian said. “It just gives us a bigger coach-ing staff, by working with them every week we can divvy up coach-ing duties.”

Nicole Rutigliano, one of the women’s swim captains, also sees WKH�EHQHÀWV�RI�WKH�ZHHNO\�PHHWLQJV��

“It helps us get closer with our coach and we can talk about things that came up during the week,” Ruti-gliano said. “We also learn about things that are in each chapter about being a better leader.”

Just because coach Fabian’s system is organized doesn’t mean it’s not subject to change. Last year the girl’s team had only one captain, then-junior Stephanie Murray. It seemed Murray would be handling captain duties alone again this year until Fabian added Rutigliano onto his “coaching staff” just before the season.

Since then, Rutigliano has made the most of her unexpected captain role, admitting sometimes she feels the weight of her added responsi-bilities.

“There is a lot of pressure, but in mostly a positive way because I want to be a positive leader to them,” Rutigliano said. “So I try to look at it as something that’s good for me also.”

Rutigliano understands how she could be seen as an added member

to the coaching staff, but mentioned an important distinction between captains and the coaches.

“Having a captain is important because your coach is there, but he’s your coach, he’s there to work on the professional athlete level,” Rutigli-ano explained. “Whereas I’m doing it with [my teammates] and I’m on their level. They’re going through the same thing you are.”

Weiner sees both sides of cap-tains’ roles as well.

“Captains are the go-betweens between the coaching staff and the players,” Weiner said. “It’s their job to make sure the tone gets carried out, but obviously the idea of a cap-tain is it has to be someone who can be on the coaching staff.”

Regardless of what captain-sys-tem teams use, it’s clear they are all trying to avoid the dangers that come with a lack of team leadership.

“When you don’t have a strong leader or they’re not being a positive role model then the team is just not going to be as strong and do as well they could,” Rutigliano said.

Fabian also sees captains as an important part of combating the rough patches that inevitably come with each long season.

“Things are going to go wrong and it’s important to teach the team how to handle that,” Fabian said.

“We just want to represent KSC in the best possible way. That’s how you get pride, when people respect you and you respect yourself.”

After all, who have they beaten?

It started with Josh Freeman in KLV�ÀUVW�VWDUW�ZLWK�WKH�VWUXJJOLQJ�Minnesota Vikings.

Next came a banged up Michael Vick and his rookie replacement in a win over Phila-delphia.

And now after a bye week, they had to get a big interception from Terrell Thomas and a go-ahead 1-yard touchdown run by fellow comebacker Andre Brown to beat an injured Terrell Pryor and the Oakland Raiders 24-20 on Sunday.

It’s not a big deal, until you take a look at the NFC East stand-ings.

After an 0-6 start to the season, the Giants (3-6) are suddenly only 1½ games behind Dallas and Philadelphia in the division, and only one back in the lost column. The Cowboys were beaten 49-17 by New Orleans and the Eagles defeated Green Bay, which was playing without injured quarter-back Aaron Rodgers.

To make things more interest-ing, New York faces Green Bay at MetLife Stadium next Sunday. Philadelphia will host Washing-ton (3-6). Dallas has a bye week.

Thomas, whose 65-yard inter-ception return gave Brown a touch-down to go along with his 115-yard UXVKLQJ� HIIRUW� LQ� KLV� ÀUVW� JDPH�of the season, insisted the Giants aren’t back in the race yet.

“We’re 3-6,” said Thomas, who missed the last two seasons with major knee injuries. “What are we, 1-2 in the division? We have some work to do. We’re just happy we’re playing Giants football again and we’re giving ourselves the oppor-tunity. We have a big game with Green Bay next week. We’re taking it one game at a time.”

Staron also said it is important to be diligent every single time you’re make your knots.

“It’s all safe as long as you have set everything up prop-erly,” Staron said. “I’ve heard stories of professionals not taking their time and slipping up.”

Clearly, Tampa Bay star Steven Stamkos’ injury was on everyone’s minds. The Boston Bruins were able to get back to playing hockey a lot quicker after it happened.

Patrice Bergeron and Daniel Paille scored 20 seconds apart a few minutes after Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher with a broken right leg, and the Bruins beat the Lightning 3-0 on Monday afternoon.

Stamkos was hurt with 7:11 to play in the second period. He entered the day tied with Pitts-burgh’s Sidney Crosby as the NHL’s leading scorer. Stamkos got tied up with Boston defen-seman Dougie Hamilton and crashed into the right post.

His left skate appeared to hit WKH�SRVW�ÀUVW�EHIRUH�KLV�ULJKW�OHJ�crashed into it around the shin area. He tried to get up twice before going down to the ice in pain, grabbing his leg just above the ankle.

When he left the ice on a stretcher, players on both teams tapped their sticks on ice as the fans applauded in tribute.

7KH�/LJKWQLQJ�FRQÀUPHG�RQ�the team’s Twitter account that Stamkos suffered a broken right tibia. No further information was available.

“A player like that, I don’t know how serious it is, but it looks pretty serious to me,” Boston coach Claude Julien said.

“You don’t want to see that.”Tuukka Rask stopped 28

shots for his 18th career shutout and second this season. Jarome Iginla added an empty-net goal with 59 seconds left.

Anders Lindback, playing MXVW�KLV�ÀIWK�JDPH�RI�WKH�VHDVRQ��made 23 saves for Tampa Bay, which had a four-game winning streak snapped.

“Injuries happen. He’s gone a long time in his career without being seriously hurt,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said.

“There’s no sugarcoating it. He’s a huge part of our team. You can make an argument here that if you were going to hand out the MVP in our league now, you can give it to him. Is that a hole in our team? Yes, it is.”

The Bruins jumped ahead with just under three minutes left in the period when Bergeron scored off the rebound of Torey Krug’s shot that caromed off the skate of Loui Eriksson.

They made it 2-0 when Paille broke in down the right wing, shifted to his backhand and slipped a shot past Lindback inside the right post. During the play, Tampa Bay defense-man Sami Salo also appeared to hurt his right leg and had trouble making it to the bench. +H�ZDV� EULHÁ\� DVVLVWHG� E\� RQH�of the referees on the ice and didn’t return in the third period.

“Well, I mean that is a big blow for them. Nobody wants to see that happen to anybody,” Iginla said. “He was obviously in a lot of pain and I didn’t hear for sure what happened to him, but I imagine it’s got to be, for him not to get up, he’s a tough player and plays hard and stuff. So he must have been in some serious pain.”

Tampa Bay veteran Martin St. Louis didn’t know how bad the injury was, but felt his team still played tough.

“I thought we played hard. We just couldn’t get the puck in the net,” he said. “We really can’t think about (Stamkos’ injury) now. We’ve got a game

to play (Tuesday). We’re going to be playing a lot of hockey. I don’t know how bad it is. It’s tough to comment.

“We lost him tonight for a period and a half. I think it’s a big part of our team. I thought we battled.”

It was Tampa Bay’s second loss in nine games. The Light-ning came into the day lead-ing the NHL’s Atlantic Division, but the loss of Stamkos will be a major blow.

“Now we’ve got to pick our-selves up and see what we’re made of,” Cooper said.

“It’s a tough one for the game. You want to see guys that have ‘It’ and Steven Stamkos has ‘It.’ Now we’ll see what we’re made of. You talk about a test, this is a test.”

top spots all-time for a single season.“That was a very special team,”

Butcher said.They would ride a 19-1 record to

the National Association of Intercol-legiate Athletics District 32 Champi-onship, a season he will never forget.

“You always remember that group because they’re the ones who started you on the road to success,” Butcher said.

However, that’s not to say Butcher’s road at KSC has always been smooth. The coach said he learned to take the good with the bad during his time at the school.

There were personality clashes with players, seasons (like this year) derailed by injuries and of course the contentious decision to move KSC down to division three in 1993.

Twenty years later, Butcher still won’t let his opinion on the matter subside.

“I wanted out of here bad [when they made the D-III decision], and I still believe that Division II is the right avenue for KSC,” Butcher said.

The coach even admitted to apply-ing to other coaching jobs at the time, before realizing that the grass isn’t always greener at other institutions.

But no matter what level of com-petition KSC soccer was put into, the wins continued to come.

Butcher has found success across divisions, conferences and decades.

When the Little Eastern Confer-ence was formed in 1997, the soccer WHDP�QHYHU�PLVVHG�D�EHDW��%XWFKHU�ÀQ-ished with six LEC championships.

,W·V�QRW�KDUG� WR�ÀQG�SHRSOH� WR�SD\�tribute to the coach.

Senior Bryce Lawlor said Butcher was a big reason why he came to KSC.

“It’s a legacy that you’re never going WR�ÀQG�DJDLQ�µ�/DZORU�VDLG��´+H·V�WKH�most winningest coach in NCAA D-III soccer history.”

Lawlor said Butcher always pushed him to be better. “He helped me improve on my game in areas I didn’t even think I needed to improve on,” Lawlor said. “He wouldn’t let me

settle for complacency.”Lawlor plans to join a list of over

200 players that Butcher has coached to graduate in the spring.

Already on that list is 1987 KSC graduate, Adam Clinton.

“He genuinely cared about his players, even though sometimes you weren’t sure until after the fact,” Clin-ton said. “He made sure everyone got their degree. I know he stayed on me to get mine. He taught me a lot in terms of the value of hard work.”

Butcher said he has built a bond with the entire town of Keene. “It’s not just the players, it’s all of the community people that I’ve gotten emails and congratulation cards from,” Butcher said. “Because they read about you everyday, they know you.”

Now the coach is facing life outside of KSC soccer. He said he’s not sure what he’ll do after he leaves Keene, but plans to keep a strong relationship to the school where he has worked for most of his life.

“You’re always going to remain close because it’s your baby, you’re the guy who built the program and you want to see it succeed,” Butcher said.

“There will always be a place in my heart for Keene State.”

The coach doesn’t pretend to think his achievements immortalize him. In fact, Butcher modestly predicted that his legacy will be short-lived.´)DPH� LV� ÁHHWLQJ�� LW� GRHVQ·W� ODVW�

long,” Butcher said. “Within six months no one will know who I am unless they look it up in a record book or they see me in a tape.”

Presently the coach faces one last challenge at KSC: he must clean out KLV�RIÀFH��%XWFKHU�VDLG�KH�ZRQ·W�OHDYH�much in terms of papers or books for his successor, but a program with such a rich history is more than any aspir-ing coach could ask for.

“I want it to be more of a team effort. I want to spread the contributions out both offensively and defensively and make it a little bit more team-oriented,” Colbert explained.

He said that not having a particular star player is actually not a bad thing, as long as the whole team is willing to con-tribute. “I don’t think we have a thirty-point scorer out there,” Colbert said.

“And that’s okay, provided that we get contributions from everybody.”

Prepping for the season starts with practice, and Colbert wants to improve daily.

“Every day, getting better,” Colbert said on the approach he wants to take this season.

“We’re really focused in on making sure that practice is what it needs to be. We’ve really spent a lot of time in terms of how we carry ourselves both on and off the court, in the weight room, indi-vidual instruction sessions, and so far it’s looked like it’s paid some dividends, we’ve had some great practices.”

As far as a goal for the season, Col-bert is clear as to what’s on his mind:

“The expectation for the team is to win the championship. It [the goal] doesn’t change based on who’s suiting up and who’s not, and I’ve been happy with their progress so far. “

Senior center Montel Walcott is look-ing forward to getting out there as a senior and showing what he’s made of.

“I want to show them that I’ve been here

for four years and I’m one of the guys with the most experience,” Walcott said.

He echoed his coach’s sentiments about doing things together, as a team.

“He [coach Colbert] wants everybody on the same page, it’s kind of a way to hold everyone accountable,” Walcott explained. “You don’t want anyone to think ‘the seniors can do this, but the younger guys can’t’, that kind of thing. ,W·V�D�OHYHO�SOD\LQJ�ÀHOG�IRU�HYHU\ERG\��,W�helps on the court too with chemistry.”

Next up was Philadelphia, the culprits of last year’s disastrous meltdown. From the start of the series, however, the Bruins made it clear they would leave nothing to chance, taking game one 7-3.

The blowout set the tone for the series, and the Bruins would go on to sweep the Flyers, out-scoring them 20-7.

The Canucks had cruised through the Western Conference Finals and were a heavy favor-ite to dispatch the over-achiev-ing Bruins. The notoriously soft

A heartbreaking game one in which the only goal of the game slipped by the outstretched arms of Thomas with 19 seconds left in the third period didn’t help the Bruins chances.

When Boston dropped game two in overtime, hope was under-standably dwindling for the upstart Bruins.

Whether you want to call it a turning point or not, a previously silent Boston offense went on to score four goals in the second period, and tacked on another four in the third to blow the Canucks out.

Things didn’t stop with the horn of game three; Boston would out-score Vancouver 21-4 after the dirty hit and rally to take the series in seven (sound familiar?).

“To come in a win like this, it’s fun,” Saints quarterback Drew Brees said of the single-game ÀUVW�GRZQ�UHFRUG��´,W�VD\V�D�ORW�DERXW�MXVW�WRGD\��7RGD\�ZDV�H[WUHPHO\�HIÀFLHQW��ERWK� LQ� WKH�UXQ�and the pass.”

Brees completed 83 percent of his passes (34 of 41) for 392 yards and four touchdowns. New Orleans also piled up 242 yards rushing, the most since they gained 249 yards on the ground at Cincinnati in 1990.

New Orleans’ 625 yards were a franchise record for a regular season game, eclipsed only by their 626 yards in a playoff win over Detroit two seasons ago.

“I thought we got into a pretty good tempo and I thought we had a pretty good plan going in,” Payton said. “It’s important for us to have that balance. ... The offensive line did a good job.”

Dallas, by contrast, was frustrated offen-sively against a Saints defense that has turned around dramatically under new coordinator 5RE�5\DQ��ZKR�ZDV�ÀUHG�E\�WKH�&RZER\V�DIWHU�last season.

“You have to give them credit for outplaying us and kicking our tails real good,” Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said. “Obviously, we have to play a lot better moving forward.”

Dallas was the last team to beat the Saints in the dome at night on Dec. 19, 2009. Since then, and Saints have treated national television audi-ences to some memorable performances. Those included the night Brees broke Dan Marino’s nearly three-decade-old record for yards pass-ing in a season, and the night he broke Johnny Unitas’ record for consecutive games with a TD pass.
