As part of the Centennial, the department of Communication, Journalism, and Philosophy has sponsored a timeline of the almost 100 years of student newspapers at Keene State.

Professors Julio Del Sesto and Rose Kundanis will present this timeline Friday, November 6, at 4 p.m. in the Media Arts Center Atrium. Join us as we celebrate the Equinox — and earlier versions of the student newspaper.

To RSVP or for more information, contact Rose Kundanis.

Here at Newsline, we get our information from a variety of sources: We get news from individuals on-campus and off-, but also from the other excellent publications we have at KSC, including Campus News and The Equinox.

So when the folks from The Equinox asked if they could use this space to remind you of what a great resource they provide, there was really no way we could say no. From Ian Lord, managing editor:

The Equinox is more than just a newspaper.
Since 1929, The Equinox has been the student voice at Keene State College, delivering hard news, student life and arts and entertainment coverage, sports updates and insightful opinions and columns.

The Equinox has expanded to the Internet, delivering breaking news coverage and exploring the realms of new media. As newspapers all over the world use new technology to deliver news, so has The Equinox.

On our website, you’ll experience multimedia journalism at its finest. Professionally produced video, podcasts and photo galleries provide different angles to our print material.

And as always, The Equinox maintains the highest standards in journalism and business practices.

Not only are we an award-winning college newspaper, but we provide affordable advertising for campus groups and the Keene community, as well as a forum for the public voice.

With a dedicated group of editors and staff members, The Equinox looks to go one step further, and continue with its tradition of excellence.

The Equinox can also be found on Facebook and Twitter and our staff blog.

Remember: “If it’s in the news, it’s in the ‘Nox!

Tuesday night, Keene State men’s and women’s basketball teams will be playing rival Plymouth State. Both games will also serve as benefits to help with medical expenses for KSC field hockey player Erin Dallas, a junior from Marlow, N.H.

Dallas suffered a knee injury during the season and developed a post-surgical infection following ACL knee surgery in December. Since then, she has been hospitalized and has had multiple operations. In lieu of tickets, fans will be asked for donations, with all proceeds going to Dallas. In addition, the Keene State field hockey team will be sponsoring a 50-50 raffle and the student athletic activities committee will be handing out “Code Red” T-shirts.

Come join us in cheering on the teams — and Erin. Owls fans are encouraged to wear red to the games, which start at 5:30 (women’s) and 7:30 (men’s) at Spaulding Gym.

There’s more information on Tuesday night’s game in this week’s Campus News. And visit the KSC News & Events page to see how the fundraiser turned out. Were you there? What did you think?

For more of Erin’s story, there was an excellent feature on her, and another story on her field hockey season, in the Equinox last semester, before her surgery.

Robert P. Hubbard, of Walpole, has donated 56 works of art from his collection to Keene State. Hubbard, who has been collecting for more than 40 years, came to know Keene State while visiting two grandnieces who attended the College. His donation includes paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture by a variety of artists such as LeRoy Neiman, Elaine De Kooning, Albert Hirschfeld, William Hogarth, Francisco de Goya, N. C. Wyeth, and sculptor David Aronson. Read more about the donation here. A selection of works from the Hubbard gift will be exhibited at the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery on campus, opening January 24, 2009.
One piece in the collection did generate some controversy, which has been addressed through lively academic discourse. Read more about that discussion in the Equinox.
