Black History Month at NJIT By Ethan O'Malley | Photography Editor February is Black History Month, a month where Black culture and the contributions to history by Black people are sent into the spotlight. Here at NJIT, the celebration is being headed by The Union of Black Students (TUBS), a group which is comprised of NJIT’s four most prominent black student organizations: the African Student Association (AFSA), the Black Student Union (BSU), the Caribbean Students Organization (CARIBSO) and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). The group organized a total of 12 events throughout the month of February - nearly one every other day - hosted by these constituent organizations as well as other Black groups on campus. Joshua Charles, president of CARIBSO and a third-year mechanical engineering major, emphasizes the importance of celebrating Black History Month in NJIT. CARIBSO is a student group dedicated primarily to the expression of Caribbean culture and the support of Caribbean students on campus — the majority of Caribbean people possessing some degree of African heritage as a legacy of the Atlantic Slave Trade. “As you know, the country we live in tries its hardest to downplay the struggles and triumphs of minorities, especially Black people,” said Charles. “Making sure that BHM is observed is a way to safeguard our culture from being ignored or cast aside. Black people have contributed a significant amount to pop culture,

Photo from Xavier Reyes music, food, fashion, etc. So at NJIT, with its low proportion of Black students, we must give them, and others who want to learn, the time and space to do so. In addition, it lets the Black students on campus know that there are people who look like them in these STEM fields, who are paving the way to make it easier for the next student who looks like them to get an education.” CARIBSO has conducted its own carnival event based on the traditional Pre-Lenten celebrations of many Christian nations, including most of the Americas and the Caribbean. The group considered this event to be quite the success. Charles said, “This is a classic CARIBSO event, everyone enjoyed Caribbean food, music, and dance. It was a great time throwing the event.” Snapper Game, an event that they have planned for later in the month, will give the cultural organization’s take on the popular “Squid Game” franchise and promises to be a more athletic event than their previous event. AFSA president and senior biology major Linda Msinjili echoed many of Charles’ points regarding the importance of a Black History Month celebration on campus. “It is important to observe BHM in NJIT because the Black community makes up only a small percentage of this campus’s population. Celebrating this month by hosting these events is a way to highlight and acknowledge the presence of Black students pur-

suing STEM fields here at NJIT. It also informs the rest of the campus about our history.” Its event, “Don’t Touch My Hair," which was intended “to educate and express to people that there is beauty in Black hair,” was likewise seen to be very successful by its organizers, bringing in “a bunch of demonstrators and raffled prizes.” NSBE and BSU have also put a large effort into the celebration. BSU hosted events like “Strengthening: Mind, Body and Soul” with the aim of helping participants “become in-tune with different aspects of yourself through journaling and affirmations” as well as the Cultural Art Exhibition, which displayed various pieces from Black artists on campus. NSBE is hosting the closing event of the month’s celebrations, the Martin Luther

King Jr. Banquet. The month's celebrations also included the Divine 9 Forum, a meeting of the nine traditionally Black national Greek organizations. Additionally, all four of the organizations worked jointly on many events throughout the month under the TUBS banner, such as the “Love and Relationships” discussion held on Valentine’s Day, and their upcoming Family Feud event, which will pitch representatives from the four groups against one another in competition. Black History Month has provided spectacular opportunity for the Black organizations on campus to express themselves. Luckily, for those interested in more events, all the mentioned clubs hold events throughout the year and not just in the month of February, so be sure to check out their upcoming events!

Olympic Games Controversy By Fatima Osman | Contributing Writer Thousands of LED-strobed drums arranged in a formation at the National Stadium in Beijing, China commenced the countdown of the 2022 Winter Olympic games. The games lasted just over two weeks starting on Feb. 4 and closing on Feb. 20. However, the Winter Olympics, usually the center of human achievement and the unity of world nations, is overshadowed by the boycotts of Western countries like the United States, United Kingdom and Belgium. The United States was the first to announce the boycott back on Dec. 6, 2021 and the U.K. quickly followed. Two months later, up to nine western countries refused to send government officials to Beijing. Boycotting mega-sports events is anything but new. Olympic-held boycotts occurred six times in history. In 1980, in perhaps one of the most infamous boycott-held events in Olympic history, more than 60 countries (and their athletes) sat out in the Summer Olympics held in Moscow, Russia. At the time, the still intact Soviet Union was engaged in the invasion of Afghanistan.

Chinese government officials stated that the U.S. “will pay a price” when the boycotts were announced last year but later proclaimed that the boycott “has no impact whatsoever on the Olympics to be successfully held.” The boycotts come from human rights abuse allegations toward the Chinese government against the Uyghur Muslim population in Xinjiang. Human rights organizations Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch published reports in 2021 that included testimonies of former Uyghur detainees as well as leaked official documents detailing the camps operations, including when the detained could use the bathroom, how often their allowed family visits, how to prevent escapes from camps and how to achieve secrecy of the camps’ operations. Xinjiang’s proximity to Central Asia and European nations and the city’s production of 20% of the world’s cotton makes it of great economic interest to China. Xinjiang is an autonomous re-

gion meaning they are self-governed. However, there are restrictions still imposed by China and in the 1950’s the Han (the Chinese ethnic majority) started migrating to the city in an attempt to dilute the already established Uyghur Muslim area. Human Rights Watch stated in 2017 that “arrests in Xinjiang accounted for nearly 21 percent of all arrests in China, despite people in Xinjiang making up only 1.5 percent of the total population.” A recent poll asked Americans what they thought about Washington’s decision to boycott the Olympics and found that 57% supported Washington's decision while 18% disapproved. Additionally, 40% believed that America should have pulled the athletes with an opposing 18%. However, the question whether these boycotts actually move the needle when it comes to actual change arises. If we look back in history, we see that very little if any change occurs. For example, the largest boycott in history, the 1980 Olympic Summer

Games, didn't help end the war on Afghanistan. The war lasted for ten years ending in February 1989. In fact, Sarah Hirshland, the CEO of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, wrote an open letter in 2020 apologizing to the athletes who were supposed to compete that year. “It’s abundantly clear in hindsight that the decision to not send a team to Moscow had no impact on the global politics of the era and instead only harmed you,” she wrote. Soft power is an exercise where “‘intangible power resources such as culture, ideology, and institutions’ [become] more important in inter-state relations.” This type of power has been prevalent in mega-sports events since the Cold War and it is most likely not going anywhere. American athletes were allowed to compete this time around and the refusal of government officials to attend the Olympic games may seem as if it does not change anything, but it represents a different type of power move that may have implications in the future.

Club Spotlight Prosthetics Club By Yukthi Sangoi | Managing Editor If you like design, engineering, modeling, 3D printing and animals, this is your sign to join the NJIT Prosthetics Club! This organization is dedicated to the creation of prosthetics for use by those in need. Primarily, this consists of cats and dogs with missing or non-functional limbs. Club members model with Creo and use 3D printing to create the prosthetics. NJIT Prosthetics Club meets most weeks to review current prosthetics and decide on how to improve them before applying those improvements in the existing models. The club has several formal and informal Creo crash courses that take place throughout the semester to help students become familiar with computer-aided design modeling. Club members also have the opportunity to meet with their clients’ animals to see the prosthetic perform in action during fittings. The current president of the club, Edgar Canario, is a fourth-year biomedical engineering major. “I was able to achieve my goal of obtaining design experience,” he said. He joined the club back in Spring 2019, before it was an official club. “I remember meeting one of our clients, Jax, for the first time. He was a large dog missing a hind leg,” Canario recalled. “Jax was so excitable and energetic despite his missing leg.” First-year biomedical engineering major Connor Thomas shared a memorable story about the pitbull. “In the case of Jax, he only had a single missing leg. Most prosthetics for dogs are made with the consideration that both of their hind legs are missing, meaning that Jax's owner didn't have many options when

it came to getting Jax a proper prosthetic,” he explained. “This is where the club comes in. With the resources we have, we can design a singular leg prosthesis for Jax that will allow them to hopefully walk in a ‘normal’ manner once again.” Vice president Christian Rodrigues, fourth-year biomedical engineering major, mentioned, “The way we design things is by brainstorming and then weighing the pros and cons of each idea we came up with for a prosthetic design.” Thomas emphasized that there is always something to do in the club. Dr. Max Roman, assistant research professor and director of M.S. program in biomedical engineering, is the advisor of the Prosthetics Club. “I enjoy seeing the students come up with unique solutions and taking an interest in the animals that they are helping. As biomedical engineers, the first thing that comes to mind is helping people. Unfortunately, many animals are sacrificed for research. These animals have given so much so that we — and even other animals — can benefit from the research,” said Dr. Roman. “Seeing the club give something back and designing prosthetics specifically for the animals is a great way to give something back to them. One of the things I enjoy most is when the students do their own outreach and find subjects and owners to work with.” The main student founder of the club was Jonathan Ziner, a 2018 graduate in biomedical engineering. He had help from Kyle Watt, a 2018 mechanical engineering graduate. Ziner mentioned that his favorite part of the club was that “we create tangible products that go out and

make a real impact on animals and their families. There’s physical evidence that we are helping society.” Watt’s favorite aspect of the club was that “right before COVID-19 shut down the school, we actually finally got a working model for the cutest cat in the world, Super Duper Cooper” from the Associated Humane Societies animal shelter in Newark. Members of the club visited the shelter, where the cat was very depressed and was not moving much. The nature of the amputation made it very difficult to fit a prosthetic. “Although the students were not successful in fitting a prosthetic to Cooper,

Photo by Prosthetics Club it was amazing to see the students week after week in their meetings coming up with different designs and solutions. They tried really hard. They spent several months with Cooper,” Dr. Roman said. The director of the shelter was very excited and wanted to put out a press letter about the collaboration between the shelter and NJIT to promote the club. Farhan Ahmad, a 2021 graduate in biomedical engineering, was the project coordinator, a designer and the lead designer during his time in the club. It was memorable “going to the first shelters as a group to take measurements,” he explained. “It was a very unique feeling because we had to present ourselves as professionals who were interested continued on page 4

in creating prosthetics, not just playing with the animals.” Colton Prentzel is a senior biomedical engineering major who wanted to help make the club an official organization on campus. “Producing our first prototype was a spectacular achievement for us,” he said. “Watching our feline friend try to use our product, even if it wasn’t perfect yet, gave us confidence that we were making progress and we would be reaching our goals in no time.” He also spoke about some of the major challenges that he, along with the rest of the club, faced while trying to establish the organization. “Securing a budget was one of the toughest things starting out. Creating effective prosthetics is not always cheap, and we aren’t provided funding while a club is in its early stages,” he explained. “We had to make as much use as possible of the Fenster 3D printing lab, where I fortunately was a technician at the time. That allowed us to print prototypes free of charge, while we waited for the budget to construct our final designs.” As a team of students with different levels of expertise, Dr. Roman did an excellent job of helping members lay the groundwork of what an effective prosthesis requires. Professor Mario Accumanno, manufacturing specialist and laboratory manager, also helped greatly, running a SolidWorks lesson for the club and keeping the 3D lab in working order.

who took on leadership positions in the club in the past. “Even though the Prosthetics Club has biomedical applications,” she said, “I found that students regardless of major joined, and that's pretty special.” Club activites don’t just consist of engineering; there is an artistic aspect to it as well. Members can participate in outreach, website development and the creation of promotional material. Ideas and solutions to problems can come from anyone. The more students involved, the more exciting and productive the club will be. Dr. Roman encourages anyone with a passion for engineering and animals to come and participate: “Making prosthetics is much harder than it looks. There are many poor parts of the world that are in desperate need for inexpensive and functional wearable prosthetics. Poor countries tend to have a larger percentage of people with amputations due to disease, war, or unexploded landmines. By joining the club you will also gain experience in CAD modeling, 3D printing, scanning and materials selection. I hope you consider joining!” The Prosthetics Club meets in Room 640 in Fenster Hall on Fridays during common hour most weeks. Give these animals the helping hand they need!

'Peacemaker' Review By Rushi Desai | Staff Writer

Photo by HBO Max “Peacemaker” is the latest entry in the DC Extended Universe from director James Gunn, following the titular character returning from his appearance in the 2021 “The Suicide Squad” movie, running as a series of episodes on HBO Max. I’ve always been a fan of James Gunn. His work with the legendary B-movie studio Troma led to some of the studio's best work. His unique and edgier spin on “Scooby Doo” was incredibly memorable. He collaborated with Zack Snyder to remake one of the most beloved zombie films ever, and it was actually pretty good. He even made a video game with legendary video game director Suda51. This was all before he made it big with “Guardians of the Galaxy,” a film that completely changed the direction of the MCU, the biggest film franchise of all time. Gunn has certainly done a lot and with 2021’s “The Suicide Squad,” it felt like the culmination of everything in his career so far. I would argue, however, that is not the case. “The Suicide Squad” was more like “Guardians of the Galaxy” without any restrictions put on by Disney. I think “Peacemaker” is the true culmination of his career, featuring elements from all his previous work. The mystery of “Scooby-Doo,” the horror of “Slither” and “Dawn of the Dead,” the campiness of “Lollipop Chainsaw” and Troma, the exploration of mentally disturbed characters like Super, the found family of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “The Suicide Squad” and the daddy issues of “Guardians of the Galaxy 2.” I honestly feel like I can end the review there. This is the most “James Gunny” James Gunn project ever made. If you like Gunn, you’ll probably like this, but I’ll go into more detail. Peacemaker, following the fallout from “The Suicide Squad,” is recruited for another mission to stop another alien threat. However, instead of being on a team of other costumed vigilantes

like before, this is a much more straightforward covert operation. A lot of complicated relationships form from this as there is a severe lack of trust between members of the new team, but also still rely on each other to stay alive. All the relationships develop beautifully throughout the series and change quite a lot. Outside of the team, we also learn of Peacemaker’s father, the man who trained him and gave him all his equipment. He’s horribly abusive, basically runs the KKK and has what I can only call a racist Iron Man suit. This relationship is one of the most fascinating aspects of the series as Peacemaker hates his father but still wants his approval. Also, all his friends want his dad dead because of the aforementioned racism, and obviously this is going to cause a rift in those friendships, cause it’s his dad. A lot of very interesting dynamics and character moments come from that. The best character, however, is the comic relief Vigilante. Some have compared him to Deadpool, but I disagree. Deadpool was always the one making the joke. We laugh with Deadpool. Vigilante, you’re laughing at. You like him a lot, but it’s a different source of comedy. Personally, I prefer it. I was never fond of Deadpool. Overall, I’d say the comedy is solid. Very similar to that of “The Suicide Squad,” moreso than Gunn’s other work. There are some jokes that miss and lots of prolonged sequences of pure banter that can get a bit much, but most jokes land and there’s always at least one good line in the banter segments. The most significant character after Peacemaker, however, is Leota Adebayo, the daughter of the person in charge Amanda Waller. I would argue she is the deuteragonist of the series as we follow her and her struggles just as much as Peacemaker. Learning to balance her personal life and this job, as well as grappling with the fact that her mother may be a horrible person. It’s an interesting

parallel to Peacemaker’s problems with his dad and his personal life being a rut. The acting is fantastic across the board. John Cena, who plays Peacemaker, really flexes his acting muscles as so much emotion is mined without losing any comedic value. I’ve already mentioned Vigilante, but the performance is what really sells his character. Freddie Stroma, who played him in the final product, was not the original actor. That person was fired after 5 out of 8 episodes were already filmed. Thankfully, due to this show being produced much like a movie rather than an actual TV show, they were able to reshoot everything with the new actor and overall, I’d say the series was better for it. The last performance of particular note was Robert Patrick as Peacemaker’s father. I would argue this is his best villain performance since when he played the T-1000 in “Terminator 2.” The pacing of the show was remarkably snappy and I’d argue its strongest asset. Many TV shows, especially nowadays, feel like they’ve been stretched out and have a lot of padding. That’s not the case here. Every scene is important and pushes the story along. So much happens every episode and you never feel like anything is being dragged out. Episode length also varies a fair amount allowing more leeway for pacing. That’s not to say this is just a long movie — it’s not. The way the show is structured is very much in the language of TV. Each episode is satisfying on its own but still tells an ongoing narrative. The episodes feel planned as episodes rather than it just being the point where they left off. The episodes have endings and it doesn’t rely on cliffhangers. The pacing also makes way for a very unique scale. His movies often have a bombastic scale — they felt very big. This series also feels big but in a completely different way. The best way I can describe it is that the movies feel big vertically, but this feels bigger horizontally.

Scale vs scope. This is about a worldwide alien invasion but it’s very spread out. The movie was about a giant alien monster but all localized in one spot. Production wise, the show was strong as well. The trademark excellent music choice of Gunn is present, but the action also has a noticeable improvement, with more flashy camera movements and up close and personal fights. The action feels a lot more intimate. Also, the TV-MA rating is fully utilized here, even moreso than the R rating in “The Suicide Squad.” Overall, “Peacemaker” is a very strong show. I feel that anyone, particularly fans of Gunn, will like it. There’s fun colorful comic stuff but also solid dark and gritty elements as well which I think will please both sides of the superhero fan spectrum. The only people I wouldn’t recommend the series to is, oddly enough, fans of the source material. Gunn, when adapting comics, makes the choice of choosing obscure characters. That way, he can change them and anger only a very small number of people. If he did the same thing with, for example, Spider-Man, a lot of people would get mad. I know most people haven’t read the “Vigilante” and “Peacemaker” comics, but I have. Those comics are incredibly different. The comics are incredibly dark, more akin to the Punisher than Deadpool. As much as I loved the character in the show, he is quite possibly one of the worst adaptations ever done. If you don’t care about accuracy, like me, you’ll still enjoy the show. If you do care, however, and you’re familiar with the original characters, I don’t think you will enjoy the show. If none of that applies to you, I think you’ll like it. This show is fun and one of the best live-action superhero TV shows to come out in a long time.
