Although Keene State College offers some help to students who plan to live off campus, members of one group of Keene residents have made efforts to provide more assistance.

In 1982, Wisconsin outlawed discrimination based on sexual orientation, in 2009, New Hampshire recognized same-sex marriage, but in 2010, homosexuals still cannot donate blood. In 1977, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled against the right of men who had sex with other men to donate blood.
Few embrace a loss of direction. There comes a time where we all are off in the world independently. For some, that freedom is daunting. For others, it’s a welcome change.

Living on a college campus is that first turn. Moving off veers onto a second.

This is the most calming atmosphere the audience of Sam Shepard’s “A Lie of the Mind” got to experience before the night broke out into arguments, hysteria, mature subject matter and fire, only broken apart by awkward silences and laughter.
“A Lie of the Mind” played in the Main Theatre at the Redfern Arts Center March 3 through 6 and was directed by adjunct professor Vaughn West.
Behind the madness of Recreational Sports
