Women’s ice hockey not provided storage space at Loring Four of 10 home games moved to Marlborough By Dylan Pichnarcik News Editor By Izabela Gage Editorial Staff The women’s ice hockey team has completed its inaugural season without a storage facility at the Loring Arena. The team stored their equipment in the Maple Street athletic facility for most of the season, according to athletic officials. Along with the lack of proper storage space at Loring, the women’s team
was required to move four of 10 home games to the New England Sports Center (NESC), according to fsurams.com. Loring Arena, located on Fountain Street in Framingham, is the home ice for both the men’s and women’s ice hockey teams. The rink is managed by the City of Framingham’s department of Parks & Recreation. The men’s hockey team has its own storage room within Loring Arena. The women’s team, on the other hand, does not have any storage space at Loring Arena. Unlike the men’s hockey team, the women’s team must travel to the Maple Street facility every morning before

practice, which must then be unlocked by Head Coach Robert Lavin. After the players pick up their equipment, they must then drive to Loring Arena and bring their equipment inside before getting ready to practice. The Maple Street facility is roughly an 8-minute walk off campus and a 5-minute drive from Loring Arena. Prior to the conclusion of the fall athletic season, players on the team were responsible for storing their equipment individually in their residence halls and vehicles, according to Lavin.

Mazmanian Gallery hosts ‘Reciprocity,’ a faculty exhibition By Francisco Omar Fernandez Rodriguez Arts & Features Editor The Mazmanian Gallery held an opening reception for “Reciprocity,” an exhibition featuring work by faculty from the Department of Art Design & Art History on March 3. It is on display in the gallery from Feb. 26 through April 5. Ellie Krakow, the director of the Mazmanian Gallery, organized the exhibition. The gallery holds many shows, but it’s rare for one to be focused on the faculty of the Department of Art Design & Art History, she said. “Maybe once every five to eight years.” It was fun to organize a show that
features her colleagues, she said. They received artwork mostly from the Art & Design faculty, but one of the art history faculty contributed work as well. The department used to be the Department of Art and Music, and because of that there’s a member of the music faculty performing too, she added. Her piece in the show is “Fountain,” which is part of her most recent body of work, “Comfort Corners,” Krakow said. This body of work is “abstracted figure sculptures, so they have an element that’s like the body, and an element that’s abstract and taken from hospital spaces,” she said. While working on it, she was thinking about how someone lies down in a

She was also thinking about “the art historical form of the reclining nude,” she said. There is a picture of the back of a waiting room chair on the front of the butt hole, she said. The upholstery has a wavy pattern reminiscent of the intestines. “I’m thinking a lot about how you see the inside of the body, or if you can see the inside of the body,” Krakow said. The exhibition shows that the facRaena Hunter Doty / THE GATEPOST ulty has very different strengths, she added. BLACK EXCELLENCE EXPO pg. 18 AUTHORS & ARTISTS pg. 19
