Last month’s cover article claimed that Frankly Speaking was founded three years ago. It actually existed at the start of Olin, but died and was restarted three years ago.
In the election article, Hillary Clinton’s name was misspelled.

the one who moves
You are the one who moves
Who can’t sit still
There are too many tools to grab
Too many races to run
Too many sources of brilliance in this world
And you want to know them all
You want to feel the burn of your soul as it struggles to find new meaning
Its sinews stretching
Skin sweating
It will ache tomorrow
But grow back stronger
Interview with the Foundary
In this email interview, Frankly Speaking asked Brett Rowley from the Foundry a few questions about the presence of the Foundry on campus and how students can get involved.
FRANKLY: What is the Foundry?
ROWLEY: The Foundry is Olin’s student-run entrepreneurship organization. It’s been around nearly as long as Olin, albeit in several different forms. “The Foundry” used to specifically refer to Edison House on Great Plains, which acted as an incubator and office space to student startups like Big Belly and the coffee guys. As it grew, it merged with another Olin entrepreneurship group and “the Foundry” became the name for both the building and the group. Now, since Edison house was re-appropriated for Marketing and External Relations office space, “the Foundry” largely refers to just the student group. We do have space in the Campus Center (on the 3rd floor, you’ll see our sign) that is available for students to use, but that space is not utilized as much as we’d like.

Things Not-So-Well Known
On September 20th, Frankly Speaking posed to the student body of Olin the question: “What is ‘not-so-well-known’ that you think people should know more of? Can you tell us about it? Why is it important?” We received the following three fairly different responses:

The Duchess and the Dominatrix
I’m in the library and a staff member downstairs is having a very loud and long conversation via speaker phone. I don’t want to interrupt her call, I don’t know who she is (so I can’t email) and I’m shy. What should I do?
