US President and Vice President visit Newark By Mrunmayi Joshi | Staff Writer

On Oct. 8, United States Vice President Kamala Harris visited Newark to promote vaccination for city residents. Her primary stop was the vaccination clinic at Essex County College, next to NJIT and Rutgers-Newark, where she toured the facilities and held a brief press conference regarding the Biden administration’s vaccination goals for New Jerseyans. “There will be an end to this,” she promised. “We are really starting to get ahead of this.” In recent months of growing concern about the Delta variant and other vaccine-resistant varieties brewing, the Biden administration has sought to promote a high vaccination rate for the general public. The first months after the vaccine was made available, lotteries and prizes were given out for those who received it, but the administration is now enforcing the vaccine more stringently. Vaccine mandates have formally been issued by the federal government, and numerous states and private companies are following suit. Although New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is reluctant to issue a statewide vaccination mandate, the overwhelming majority of state employees have been vaccinated. Private healthcare networks are also laying down the law; RWJBarnabas and Virtua Health announced that they had let go a total of 238 unvaccinated workers. New Jersey's vaccination rate is significantly above the national average, with around 66 percent of its adult population fully vaccinated compared to around 57.6 percent of the general body of American adults. However, the proportion of Newark’s adults who are

vaccinated lags at around 54 percent, prompting further concern following Newark's high number of cases and deaths earlier in the pandemic. Although the current statistics represent an increase from Newark’s April vaccination rate of only 17 percent, there is still a long road ahead. Perhaps to reinforce this point, Harris’s husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, visited Newark’s East Side High School just two weeks after Harris’s own visit. “We’ve got to do better,” he explained when asked about the stagnant vaccination rate. “New Jersey is setting the example.” On their visits, Harris and Emhoff were accompanied by New Jersey starpower; the Vice President was accompanied by Governor Murphy and Senator Cory Booker, while Emhoff traveled with the governor’s wife, Tammy Murphy. One of the more subtle reasons for Harris’s trip to Newark was to shore up support for Murphy in the Nov. 2 gubernatorial election in New Jersey, which has grown unexpectedly tight in the last weeks. Republican challenger Jack Ciattarelli trailed by a comfortable two-digit margin for the majority of the campaign but has caught up to only a six-point deficit in recent polls — surprising in a heavily blue state. Additionally, Ciattarelli has significantly outraised Murphy during the past four weeks. Along with democratic Virginia’s deadlock between its Democrat and Republican gubernatorial candidates, the increase of Republican support in New Jersey is raising red flags for Democratic leaders. Presidents Joe

Biden and Barack Obama appeared with Murphy in the previous week, according to the New Jersey Globe. Besides showing support for Murphy, Biden hopes to garner approval for his own spending plans. His $1 trillion infrastructure bill aims to revitalize crumbling American transport and groundwork, including $12.3 billion dollars for New Jersey. Senators Booker and Bob Menendez released the breakdown of this funding, which includes $6.9 billion for highways,

more of them than any state. In addition to these issues, however, Biden was also present in order to break ground on the reconstruction of New Jersey’s 110-year-old Portal Bridge over Hackensack. This ancient bridge carries over 200,000 daily commuters and is often the cause of delays and disruptions; therefore, Biden is interested in modernizing national transport through tangible infrastructure. His emphasis on the services that the bill will provide to New Jerseyans may also be an attempt to counter his falling approval rating in the

Although New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is reluctant to issue a statewide vaccination mandate, the overwhelming majority of state employees have been vaccinated. $1.1 billion for bridges and $4.2 billion for New Jersey transit over the next five years. The Biden administration has also promised New Jersey hundreds of millions of dollars to construct electric vehicle charging stations, improve highspeed internet connections and install ferry services. Of particular note to Newark is Biden’s pledge of $1 billion to reroute or tear down highways constructed through communities of color and minorities, as well as $3.5 billion to clean up Superfund sites. These are highly polluted areas that require long term hazardous waste management, and New Jersey has

state. Alongside the lofty goal that Newark’s unvaccinated must reach and the visit’s political undertones, Harris found time to visit a local bakery with Murphy and Booker. The spot will be familiar to college students in the area: it is the highly reviewed Tonnie’s Minis on Halsey Street. Her order reportedly was red velvet cupcakes, slices of carrot cake, pineapple coconut cake and sponge cake with chocolate icing. Any students with a vice presidential sweet tooth? Drop by Tonnie’s Minis!

Club Spotlight Business Masterminds By Yukthi Sangoi | Managing Editor

If you’re looking to join a general business club at NJIT, Business Masterminds is the one for you! The club meets through monthly discussion meetings, workshops and professional panel speaking and networking events. These usually include guest speakers, competitions, field trips and more, generally scattered throughout the semester. Business Masterminds benefits and supports the undergraduate and graduate student community by introducing and educating them on practical skills applied to and in the different aspects of business across various sectors and disciplines. Regardless of your major, the club offers exposure to soft skills that are business-related, such as entrepreneurship, design thinking, networking, personal finance, leadership, innovation, marketing yourself and more. Along with learning technical business terms and ideas, the club encourages its members to apply what they learn to their respective career paths. Business Masterminds promotes all majors to increase their business acumen, as it will have a meaningful impact on the way they navigate through their various professions. iXperience, Ripplematch and Promazo are the three club partners that provide resources to its members. In addition, there are several speakers and connections supporting the club through events and are always looking

to help the members of Business Masterminds. One such event took place on Oct. 13; the club held a panel discussion called, “Where are they now?”, which featured five NJIT alumni. Priya Vin, Associate Director of Alumni Relations, and Alana Dudley, President of Young Alumni Association helped Business Masterminds president Shana Dominique find and bring alumni to the panel. “I wanted to make sure the panel was diverse, and [Vin and Dudley] did a great job with making sure that it was,” Dominique said. Awais Qazi, one of the panelists, is a high school geometry teacher who graduated from NJIT in 2017 as a business major. “I found it odd that the school would select a simple geometry teacher to serve on [this] panel,” he mentioned. “Despite my title not being eye-catching, they recognized that the experience I had at NJIT and afterwards might be beneficial to current students and they included me because of that.”

ated in 2011 as an industrial engineering major, and he stated that “a large portion of your success will be [due to] networking,” and involving yourself on campus will allow you to make those connections.

wanted to bring back alumni, especially young alumni, is so that the students can see that they don't have to worry about life after college and it's more reassuring to hear that from someone who has gone through the process already.”

Vatsal Shah, a principal engineer, is a three-time civil engineering graduate of NJIT, in 2008, 2009 and 2014. “Saying, ‘yes,’ matters a lot because it exposes you to a lot of things you would initially be uncomfortable with, and being uncomfortable is when you grow the most,” he explained. He has been a part of the Alumni Association for almost 13 years, and the phrase, “It’s who you know, not what you know,” has been ingrained in his mind when it comes to explaining his and other alumni’s successes.

“I owe my success greatly to NJIT, and the least I can do is come back and connect with students in hopes to convey a real perspective of life after college,” said Merna Cirillo, a senior manager and 2011 NJIT graduate as a chemical engineering major.

He encourages students to take part in events like the alumni panel; it helps students make meaningful connections with people who have gone through the same college.

Qazi emphasized the impact of being involved on campus and building extracurricular skills to make the most out of one’s experience at NJIT. "The staff is extremely supportive, so if you bring your best ideas, the staff will help you see them through and turn them into an event,” he said.

Similarly, Dudley stated that, “the phrase, ‘It’s not always what you know, but who you know,’ holds true throughout all levels of one’s career.” Currently a senior investment analyst and a 2017 mathematics of finance and actuarial sciences graduate, she was more than happy to collaborate with Business Masterminds for the second year in a row to make this happen for students.

Qazi said that “The networking component was incredible at the end because it gave us an opportunity to hear what students' individual interests were, and we were able to have more long form conversations that got closer to helping and providing them with specific solutions.” Dudley added, “I think I can speak for all on this panel when I say that if there’s anything we can do to help, we would!” Business Masterminds provided students the opportunity to interact and connect with a valuable alumni panel that included Qazi, Murrell, Shah, Cirillo and Dudley. The club plans to hold an event in November about project management; feel free to reach out to the club through its Instagram account, @ njit_masterminds, or email, businessclubnjit@gmail.com to get more information!

"Optimist" Album Review By Samira Santana | Senior Staff Writer FINNEAS is an eight-time Grammy award-winning producer and singer-songwriter. Most of the world knows him as pop-star Billie Eilish’s older brother, Finneas Baird O’Connell. He and Eilish are the creative duo behind the writing and producing of her songs. He has also produced many successful songs that have gone viral and climbed the charts, such as Selena Gomez’s “Lose You to Love me,” JP Saxe and Julia Michael’s “If the World was Ending” and Ashe’s “Moral of the Story.” Apart from his background work in production, O’Connell is slowly getting the attention he deserves with his own musical endeavors: he is at the forefront as FINNEAS. He released an EP featuring seven songs in October 2019 called “Blood Harmony,” which was praised by many. “Optimist” is his first full album which was released this year on Oct. 15. “Optimist” contains hits such as “What They’ll Say About Us,” which gained popularity due to the story behind the song. O’Connell said in an interview with “The Rolling Stone” that the song is about Amanda Kloots and her then-husband Nick Cordero’s fight against COVID-19. He wrote the song through Amanda’s lens, while her husband was battling COVID-19 in a medically induced coma, and the George

Floyd protests that were all over the news were also taken into consideration. Another one of his major songs on this album is “A Concert Six Months from Now.” This is the second song of this album that was released before the full record. Its falsettos and instrumentals gave listeners a sneak peak of what the rest of the album would sound like — or what many thought it would sound like. Apart from these two songs, the rest of “Optimist” is not as good as I’d hoped. The songs hit all of the extremes, from piano ballads to techno and highly produced works, but the album has no apparent theme that ties everything together. Its title also doesn’t seem to make any connections through the songs. Now, don’t get me wrong — at 24 years old, FINNEAS is a very talented artist who is still growing and finding his voice in his music. He has proficiency in writing lyrics, using metaphors and word plays that many artists have yet to master. Just like how Taylor Swift has strong command in her songwriting skills, O’Connell has the power to transform his lyrics into melodies and common sounds into creative touches that many enjoy. “The Kids Are All Dying” is one of my favorite songs on the album that has so much potential with its catchy beat and down-to-earth charm as well as its controversial lyrics,

“I tried saving the world but then I got bored.” Some songs on the album are piano ballads that offer nuggets of wisdom for all to hear: “Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass / [...] You're not gonna like it without any love / So don't waste it.” As a whole, this album

has some songs that are worthy of adding to your playlists. The more I listen to the songs, the more I seem to like them. So, make sure you give this album a chance because it won’t be the last you’ll hear of FINNEAS.

Review of ENHYPEN's First Full Album By Saanika Joshi | Staff Writer Enhypen, the youngest boy band of the Korean entertainment company HYBE, was created through a survival show, “I-Land.” The seven members released their first full length album, “Dimension: Dilemma,” which contains eight songs including an intro and interlude, leaving an open ending to the story told through the songs. The previous EP they released was the end of a series, and this is the beginning of the next.

The album starts with “Intro : Whiteout.” Enhypen member Jake continues the story from “Outro: Wormhole” from the previous EP. The English narration talks about starting a new journey after traveling through a wormhole with references to Greek mythology characters Scylla, Charybdis and Odysseus. Instead of an outro like the EP’s, Jack is joined by members Jay and Heeseung in “Interlude : Question” to continue the English narration, which hints towards their

next release. Enhypen continues their two-word title tracks with “Tamed-Dashed.” Echoing the “Drunk-Dazed” sound from the previous EP, “Tamed-Dashed” talks about the dilemma of the choice between taming oneself or setting themself free. This can also be interpreted as the conflict shown by the story of Scylla and Charybdis in Greek mythology — having a difficult choice between two options.

This 80s-inspired track is about them finding themselves in a new dimension and dashing forward to find the answers, just like Odysseus did, with its use of poetic lyrics. The groovy track “Upper Side Dreamin’” has an earworm chorus that gets anyone humming instantly. At the same time, the electro-bass gives an early 2000s vibe. The song is about basking in the glory of a dream about achieving something big in life. “Just a Little Bit” gives off a 90s boy band ballad feels. This song is similar to “Not for Sale,” which was in their previous EP. The group is clearly flexing their falsettos in “Just a Little Bit.” Feeling like a clubbing song, “Go Big or Go Home” is a power anthem. A track that is ready to be played in an action movie is “Blockbuster.” This song is Enhypen’s first collaboration track; their labelmate Yeonjun from boy band TXT is featured in this song. A fusion between rock and hip hop, this song is not only edgier than their previous songs but also proves the group’s ability to switch between genres. “Attention, please!” continues the rock from the previous song but replaces hip hop with funk. The song is all about them being at crossroads where they have to choose between the love from their crush and their fans and leaves the listener wanting more. Overall, I found this album to be about finding yourself which fits this group perfectly as they are trying to find who they are in this world of idols they have entered.

“Stuck Together”Review By Omer Sarfat | Contributing Writer

Do you remember in March 2020 when COVID-19 was declared a pandemic? Released on Oct. 20 by Netflix, the French film “Stuck Together” is about a group of people who live in the same apartment and learn to adapt to their changing circumstances during a lockdown in Paris. The residents of the apartment include a couple with a daughter, a father with two kids, a woman who sells alcohol, a young couple and a health worker. It is apparent from the beginning of the movie that each character has a different view of the pandemic. These characters are all symbolic of people in real life who took varying approaches to the pandemic. For the couple who has one daughter, the father is obsessed with keeping himself safe from the virus. The father’s actions are frequently humorous, such as when he pulls out a digital thermometer in front of police officers to make sure they do not have temperatures, and then they arrest him because they believe he is carrying a weapon. His wife, on the other hand, is less fearful about the virus. The other father with two kids is the most agitated resident, who believes the virus is a hoax. In addition to the families with children, there is a man whose wife is hospitalized with COVID-19 and a scientist who claims have found a vaccine for the virus.

Throughout the movie, the residents become better acquainted with each other after speaking to each other for the first time when they wait for their COVID-19 test results. Although the couples argue with one another because of the stress from the lockdown, they learn to comfort one another. This film could be great to watch in a few decades, since it will remind people of the difficulties and lessons of the beginning of the pandemic. Although the movie takes place in France, similar lockdowns were happening in many countries during this time period. This movie can be relatable to anyone who has lived through the pandemic. Most people know friends or family who were sick with COVID-19, who took safety measures more seriously than others or who had trouble maintaining healthy relationships with their partners or children. If you want to remember the events of the beginning of the pandemic, such as the lockdown, Zoom calls and shortage of masks, this is a great movie for you. If you would rather forget those months, this film may not be fit for you. Overall, I would say the movie was entertaining, but could have been improved with a better storyline to make it more unique. I would give this a 3.5 out of five. Photo by Netflix

"No One Gets Out Alive" Review Photo by News Nation USA

By Matthew Bleich | Contributing Writer Netflix is back again with another great flick for this fall, now with “No One Gets Out Alive.” The film stars Cristina Rodlo as Ambar, a lonely undocumented immigrant woman who struggles to survive in America. She finds her way into Cleveland, Ohio, within a rundown but affordable housing complex, under the hands of a seemingly simple landlord and his brother. All goes for worse when she finds out the truth behind the house itself. The mysteries begin to unfold, through horror and death. The director, Santiago Menghini, produced a film that exerts true horror concepts through its use of thrilling cinematography and fearful situations. The

realistic nature of the plot makes the film appear as if the movie is occurring in the real world. I also believe that the reality of the plot gives the audience a sense of connection to the characters themselves as well as their backgrounds and motives. We understand Ambar’s loneliness due to the absence of her mother who had been sick for quite a while. She is now alone on her own in a strange world. The fact that Red, her landlord and antagonist of the film, along with his brother, Becker, dislikes her and almost oppresses her shows a satirical outlook on “aliens” in our modern society. The director uses this idea of alienation along

with horror to highlight the idea that immigrants to countries are ultimately outcasted and abused for their specialties, fulfilling whatever the “native” people desire, in contrast to their own. Horror as a genre can be used in numerous types of ways, especially deeply satirically, as seen in the recent films of Jordan Peele. Ultimately, Menghini uses horror and his plot including alienation to highlight the issues involved with immigration, sexism and overall loneliness. The horror aspects of the movie also provide an all-around creepy feel to the film itself. Through its use of partial gore and mystical, creepy creatures, the plot delivers quite a strong message of fear and

thrill. I was confused and scared at the sight of the main monster present within the conclusion of the film, all thanks to Menghini’s use of horrific elements. Overall, the film delivers key insights into our modern society, with Menghini delivering important messages into the issues of many undocumented immigrants and the present dangers of our native society. The film also contains great plot sequences, horrific elements, and brilliant cinematography. So, if you are interested in finding a great horror flick for a weekend movie session, you cannot go wrong with “No One Gets Out Alive,” a solid 4.5 out of five.
