The Most Underwhelming Party Of The Year

On Saturday night, May 4^th, a bunch of dudes pressed play on their iPods and people went crazy. And never in my life have I been so bored at a concert. I may not be the biggest fan of the EDM, or dance, or dubstep or whatever it’s called genre, but as I marched my way down to the football field where in four hours Rusko would finally hit the stage, I had an open mind about what I was going to see. I knew not to expect much of a musical experience. It’s not like the kind of EDM Rusko plays is meant to be music you listen to and appreciate. It’s meant to be something to dance your life away to. Needless to say, I wasn’t expecting much other than a good time. I got even less than I expected.

Halloween Festivities Turn Ugly

This semester I have been taking classes that have been opening my eyes to privilege and in spring 2012 I took a class that also discussed the privilege of white males. At first, this idea made me uncomfortable. I did not want to think of being the person who is in power because of my skin, gender and sex. I pushed this to the back of my head. 

Why Maggie Hassan Deserves Your Vote

Dear Editor:

I listened to Maggie Hassan, Democratic party candidate for governor, speaking to New Hampshire Sustainable Energy Association members in Tilton. She bridged a gap between what I perceive as a lack of national energy policy (apart from continuation of last century’s fossil fuel dependence) and things gone awry in New Hampshire regarding good jobs in vibrant businesses, sometimes due to energy costs. She explained that our 2-year governance cycle can impede advances in our businesses’ energy choices.

To the victim the sexual assault on September 28^th, 2012

I don’t know you. I don’t know your name, or your face. I have no idea who you are. But every cell in my body, every fiber of my being, every piece of my soul, aches for you. I am so sorry this happened to you. I cannot even begin to fathom the pain you are in, and I am so, so sorry that you have to go through this. I can only desperately hope that you have a support system that will love you, and take care of you through this terrible time. I applaud your bravery in reporting your attackers immediately. I hope that you are okay. And if you are not okay- I hope that it will not last long. As I said, I do not know you. But you are not alone in this. I do not know you, but I wish I did, so I could help you in some way. But I hope you can take comfort in the fact that there is someone here, on this campus, who is rooting for you, pulling for you, and will try and support you in any way.

On the Hard Issues

At The Clock, we are dedicated to pursuing and covering, as broadly, accurately, and unbiased as possible, the news that takes place on and around this campus. We feel that we have an obligation to the Plymouth State University community to inform them of what we find newsworthy. Oftentimes, this is harder than it sounds, for many reasons.

Do It In The Dark!

Do It In The Dark is back for another year! Do It In The Dark is a competition that was first created by students at Plymouth State University on campus in 2007 that runs from the beginning of October to the end of November. It is an annual event in which the traditional residence halls compete to see who can save the most energy by making conscious efforts to lower their consumption and improve their energy conservation.  The residence hall that saves the most energy wins half price laundry for the month of February!

To The Editor

Forget politics. It's too complicated. You say you're too busy to vote.
