by VERONICA MELIKOV Staff Writer
The Office of Residence Life has modified the selection process for the upcoming academic year. These changes include shifting priority in the lottery housing system, meal plan requirements, and the proposal for gender neutral housing. The online 2017-2018 housing application prompts students to enter personal information and rank housing preferences for the next academic year. The online application was released February 3rd, 2017. Any students who wishes to participate in the housing lottery at Stevens, for both on and off-campus housing, are required to complete this application. Students who
cannot complete this form will be prohibited from taking a part in the 2017-2018 housing process, including room retention and roommate pull-in. The online housing application and contract is a commitment for the entire upcoming academic year. The form will be closed Wednesday, March 1st, 2017 at midnight. The following day, Thursday, March 2nd 2017, the online portal for room retention and the roommate pull-in process will be open from 11 am until midnight. On Friday, March 3rd, 2017, lottery numbers will be assigned to students. Lottery number notifications will be sent to each student’s Stevens email. The selection lottery is sepa-
rated into two components; On Campus Housing Selection and Stevens Leased Housing Selection (SLH). Students who apply for housing are given one lottery number, but have a different order or day to select based on the process they choose – on campus selection process or leased housing selection process. The Office of Resident Life is ready to adopt a policy -- one which is already implemented in institutes nationwide -- to assign priority to sophomore lottery numbers over upperclassmen students for on-campus housing. “Similar to first year students, sophomores are still adjusting to the institution and

Stevens Fencing Team and Debaun Host V-Day by VICTORIA PISKAREV Business Manager
Stevens’ fencing team and DeBaun Performing Arts Center hosted The Vagina Monologues for the 17th year in a row at Stevens, this past Thursday. Tickets cost $5, and all proceeds went to WomenRising Inc., an organization that supports women and children who are victims of domestic violence in Hudson County. The event was a collaborative effort between the College of Arts and Letters’ Literature Faculty and Women’s Fencing. WomenRising’s mission is to assist women and their families to achieve self-sufficiency and live safe, productive, and fulfilling lives. They provide services such as emergency shelter, counseling, crisis intervention, workforce development and job placement, outreach, advocacy, and referrals. Along with the production, the fencing team and Debaun also hosted a special pre-show event at the Elysian Cafe, where all $15 of the ticket was donated to WomenRising as well. The Vagina Monologues are
read for V-Day in February; VDay is a global non-profit movement that has arisen around the play to help groups that work to end violence against women and children. It takes place exclusively in the month of February to focus its global effort and maximize its impact. Each year, thousands of V-Day benefit events take place, produced by volunteer activists in the U.S. and around the world. It was first written in 1996 and
has been updated nearly every year with a monologue that has to do with modern issues affecting women. Each monologue is written to address different aspects of the female experience, from the first menstrual period to sexual harassment, but ultimately it thematically focuses on the vagina as a mode of female empowerment and mov-

This past week, a new SGA subcommittee was formed with the intention of making Stevens a Smoke-Free campus. Melanie Caba, one of the newly elected Sophomore Senators and committee head, proposed this idea and is leading the goal. Stevens, in accordance with New Jersey’s Smoke-Free Air Act, currently prohibits smoking indoors, including the smoking of e-cigarettes and vapes. The goal of the SGA’s new subcommittee is to “make Stevens a 100% smoke free campus”, says Caba. This means that smoking, in all forms, would be completely prohibited across campus. Stevens’ current policy prohibits smoking outside within 25 feet of any building, as of the beginning of this school year. Due to the small size of
Stevens’ campus, “no two academic buildings are really even 25ft away from each other, so technically you are not allowed to smoke anywhere”, according to Caba. “I just felt like this was the right direction to go in.” Tentative goals include placing non-smoking signs around campus and having someone enforce the policy, such as campus police, especially in the less populated areas of the campus. Expecting some controversy, Caba is also considering additional goals, including dedicated smoking areas and education regarding any new policies and the risks of smoking. Caba has meetings lined up with administration regarding this issue, but there is no time frame currently set in place. She hopes to have a more comprehensive plan with steps and a timeframe after collaborating with administration.
Stevens competes in RecycleMania by NICHOLAS BURNS Staff Writer
Stevens is currently participating in an international recycling competition called RecycleMania. Stevens’ own environmental organizations, ESW (engineers for a sustainable world) and SAVE (Students against violating the Earth), are competing with over 100 other schools from the US and Canada to see who can recycle the most per capita over a designated 8-week period. The period runs from February 5 to April 1, and these organizations ask that all Stevens students pay extra attention to their waste, making sure to separate recyclables from trash. The competition started out between the rival colleges Ohio University and Miami University. Inspired by the already active sports rivalry, each student body tried their hardest to beat the other school. ++ Miami, averaging 41.2 lbs per person, took victory over Ohio, whose students recycled an average of 32.6 lbs per person. Since the

potential benefits of this competition were first realized in 2001, more schools have been joining. In 2004, RecycleMania formally partnered with the US EPA WasteWise program to obtain a website and become more organized. What started as a clever play on a single rivalry grew to 400 schools in 2008. The winning school, in each of nine different categories, receives national recognition, implied bragging rights, an award made from recycled material, and the honor of carrying that category’s special traveling trophy for the year. Anyone with any questions about RecycleMania is encouraged to reach out to either SAVE or ESW.

Don’t let the past dictate your future Hey there, let’s chat for a bit. Do you ever have those moments, like right before you fall asleep where you just remember some embarrassing thing you did years ago or something you said not too long ago that you may regret? I know I have, and I know we all have. With my luck, I usually have these moments during happy moments like a nice meal or this one time during a rollercoaster ride. Nothing metaphorically slows

down a rollercoaster as effectively as remembering that one time I called my 8th-grade teacher ‘mom’ or that one time I did that awkward high school thing that we have all done. I know I got a little lazy with that last one but you know what I mean. The way I try to see it, no one is gonna remember it. Worst case scenario, those who remember that one embarrassing thing do not really care or pay much attention to it. So stop worrying about it. Stop
it. Great now I am overreacting. You should feel ashamed. Anyways, a bad habit to get into, and also one I am guilty of is to let something you regret dwell in your mind for a while. During that time, anything you are doing just feels less fun or at the very least, hard to do. In the end, it is nothing more than just a habit. And just like any habit, one must exercise patience in order to control it if not completely end it. Letting your past
dwell in your mind and ruin your present, or even future, is a habit that must be eliminated immediately. Your past should only influence your future and shape who you are, not dictate who you are gonna be or what you are gonna do.

This week has truly been so busy? Don’t you feel that way? The pace has really picked up; it’s hard to believe that we’ll be six weeks into the semester. The faster things go around here, even though it is sad, the more I feel like I learn and get value out of this experience! This week I remembered a few important lessons that I feel like I forgot, so I wanted to share them. For example, this week I had my first test for CS115. It came faster than I realized, but surprisingly, I’m not panicking about it. Six weeks ago, I was doubting my choice to jump into this class. With no prior coding experience, could I handle the workload and pace? The first week of the semester, a lot of people were giving me the advice,
“If picobot is bad, drop out of the class.” Picobot took me four hours, but I wasn’t sure if that was bad. Did people solve it faster or slower than me? Could people actually solve it by themselves in 1 hour? All I knew was that if this activity took me four hours, that every lab and assignment in the future would take me at least that long. “I should have taken 105,” I think sometimes when it gets tough, but I push through. I pay extra attention compared to my other classes, and ask my friends what things mean during lecture if I can’t understand (such as when references are being made to other languages or earlier level classes). But as time goes on, I realize I’m not that far behind. For example, in lecture this week, our professor asked someone what function pulls certain values out of a list. I knew the answer, but the person he asked didn’t know it would be filter. That person won’t read the paper, so I’ll also say that they were vocally salty about it in our next class. I wonder how they’re gonna pass the test. I just hope the test is straightforward and not an intricate maze like the other thing going on for me: APO Big/Little week also
occurred this week. Since Monday, we’ve been receiving clues to help us figure out who our bigs are. But truthfully, the only thing I’ve figured out is that everyone is potentially lying to me! On the first day, I thought I knew who it was: someone who I had interviewed, and a really cool person. Sort of like the person I want to be? Social and outgoing. On top of that, a person who knows them well told me, “Oh, so and so really liked you.” What did it mean!? I agonized over it for the whole night. The next day, I received confusing food. It was so delicious! But it confused me. I received pumpkin spice cupcakes, and my big self identified as “basic”, a stereotype for one of the families; but not any of the families I was guessing between! My roommate, who is already a brother, totally wasn’t helping either, always giggling yet declining to make a comment, saying “I will neither confirm nor deny that,” to any of my speculations. Finally, yesterday I received a pair of earrings that were definitely from India. For sure. So after some Facebook stalking, and clues I had traded information with someone else for to get, many hints were pointing to a person
I had never met. We’ll see! Everyone’s been telling me that this person is really amazing, but in general I’ve learned that I can’t believe anyone this week. I’m too gullible to discern what’s true and what’s obviously a lie. Whether it is the first person I thought, the person I think it is now, or a random guy trying to impersonate someone else, the future that we’re all waiting for will eventually come. Maybe it’s not a future we think we will like, but after some time, the future becomes the present, and the present is pretty okay! Not knowing your future is exciting. The element of surprise, hopefully being pleasantly surprised, lingers in the back of my mind. The main takeaways: don’t underestimate yourself. Even if the future looks rough, pull through. After it’s over, you can feel accomplished that you made it through. And also, feeling uncertain about the future and your path is okay. You really never know how fate will change, how the universe can flip your world around, in a good or bad way. When times are bad, refer to my previous advice of pulling through. It’s a really positive, freshmanstyle Catch 22.

The power of community
by KATIE BROWN
Senior Chemical Engineering Major
My favorite movie of all time is The Princess Diaries. To those waiting for their owl with letter in tow saying that they’re admitted into Hogwarts, move aside, because I’m still waiting for a disconnected relative of mine to pop up and inform me that I’m a princess (it’s going to happen one day, I promise). All fantasies
aside, I’ve always loved the movie because not only is it hilarious but it also sends a very applicable lesson to all. To those who never saw the movie, (to which I ask, what have you been doing with your life?) imagine Mia first as the stereotypical high school nobody. Her looks aren’t particularly screaming glamorous and she is honestly just trying to fit in amongst the jocks and cheerleaders at the school. As she undergoes “Princess Lessons” she slowly but surely realizes how to embrace others and find confidence within herself. It’s funny how such a basic moral is in so many books, shows, and films but yet we still have the horrible stigma that humans need to be perfect on the outside in order to harness what’s going on within. I write this column not to
whine about stereotypes in society for the next couple of paragraphs but to hopefully put a new perspective into the endless self-confidence epidemic: your confidence comes from others, particularly the communities you come from. Not many would suspect it but I too share a similar experience to Mia’s “princess lessons”. In a stereotypical nervous freshmen way, I originally was fearful I wouldn’t make friends, fit in, or ever figure out that Pierce Dining Hall was different than Peirce the building. Beyond the terrifying first weeks of school, I started making a presence in clubs and organizations which opened a new wave of anxieties. How do I lead a group? How do I motivate others? How do I even book Peirce 116? In a unique way, my four years
at Stevens have taught me the answers to those questions and more about myself that I would have never learned. Experiences with my peers, the Office of Undergraduate Student Life, Office of Career Development, and the organizations I’m apart of not only posed challenges such as being an orientation leader, finding an internship, or holding executive board positions but networked me with communities that imposed confidence within me. Through these communities I might not have been taking lessons to be Princess of Genovia the past four years, but I definitely have been learning things to carry onward into my personal and professional life that I know for a fact I was not confident in previously. I cannot scientifically
conclude this but communities definitely make individuals stronger. Gaining self-confidence is of course within yourself, hence the name, but it’s bolstered by your peers. It’s a lot easier to receive praise in a group or a community than just patting yourself on the back. It’s more worthwhile to get a thumbs up from a series of people than just one person. It’s pretty exciting to see progress among a variety of people than a singular being. Consider a community like a flying buttress: as much as the initial structure of the flying buttress is crucial to its success, like a person’s mindset is crucial to selfconfidence, it’s really the side arches supporting the initial structure towards a common goal. Communities, no matter how big or small, support even the
weakest of members. Some arches need more help than others and that’s okay but the communities definitely provide for those people as well. It’s hard to think of an example of how to gain self confidence without utilizing others just as Princess Mia had to utilize her grandmother, family, and friends to one day, SPOILER ALERT FOR PRINCESS DIARIES TWO, rule Genovia. With my last weeks on campus, I find myself passing along waves of support to those who may or may not need it. Unfortunately I’m not a princess, but I am, however, a confident individual who will continue to encourage confidence in others just as others encouraged confidence in me. Honestly speaking, the power of community is truly amazing.

Is philosophy a sport played with words?
by JOHN HORGAN CAL Professor
This is the second in a series of posts on philosophy. Dining last year with members of a philosophy salon in Manhattan, I met an eminent philosopher, whom I’ll call Harry. He could not have been nicer. When I said I was only a journalist, Harry smiled warmly and said anyone interested in philosophy is a philosopher. After dinner, we retired to the salon leader’s apartment to talk about a
paper, and Harry underwent a transformation. When I ventured an opinion, he sternly rebuked me for my foolishness. I didn’t feel bad, because he treated his fellow philosophers just as harshly, challenging their reasoning and rhetoric. Like the milquetoast who turns into Mad Max when he gets behind a wheel, the nice guy had become a warrior. Such behavior is common among philosophers. I’m often struck, watching philosophers interact, by their aggression. Scientists can be rough, but less so, on average, than philosophers. Why is that? Because philosophical clashes, unlike scientific ones, cannot be resolved by appeals to data; they are battles of wits. In “Why Isn’t There More Progress in Philoso-
phy?,” David Chalmers notes that science employs “the observational/ experimental method,” which has “the power to compel agreement on the answers to big questions.” In contrast, philosophy relies on “the method of argument,” which does not compel agreement. Chalmers acknowledges that millennia of philosophical debate have not yielded convergence on big questions. So why do philosophers keep bickering if they can’t arrive at a resolution? Perhaps philosophy has devolved into mere competition, in which victors are rewarded with fame and glory– more specifically, grants, tenure, book contracts, invitations to Davos and appearances on Charlie Rose. If philosophy is a sport played with words, fretting over its lack of prog-
ress is a category error, like arguing over whether hockey progress. Modern hockey players are no doubt stronger, faster, better-trained on average than their predecessors. But does that mean hockey is better than it used to be? It’s an ill-posed question, because in sports what matters is winning– and, for professionals, entertaining spectators. Watching philosophers jabbing and parrying, I’m reminded of a Darwinian hypothesis called argumentative theory. It holds that our reasoning skills evolved primarily not to produce truth but to win arguments. If you are talented at defending your views and demolishing others’, you boost your social status and hence what biologists call reproductive opportunities. But like most Darwinian
explanations for human behavior, argumentative theory is far too reductive. Yes, philosophers, especially males, are status-seeking primates. Yes, some philosophers seem to care more about winning than wisdom. But for most philosophy is not merely a means to the end of success. There are easier paths to fame and glory. Moreover, there is a crucial difference between sports and philosophy: the latter lacks fixed rules. What Paul Feyerabend said of science—“Anything goes”—is far truer of philosophy. Clever philosophers ruthlessly bend or break rules or invent new ones to gain an advantage. This lawlessness helps to explain why philosophy rarely produces clear-cut victories and losses.
That brings us back to the question: If philosophy cannot yield permanent truth, what is or should be its end? In what way does philosophy still matter? Sports suggest a possible answer. Most athletes have goals beyond winning. They seek self-improvement, just as Socrates and Lao Tzu did. Ethics is the branch of philosophy that aims to make us better people. The goal is not the True, what is, but the Good, what should be. In my next column, I’ll consider philosophy’s role as a guide to morality. John Horgan directs the Center for Science Writings, which is part of the College of Arts & Letters. This column is adapted from one originally published on his ScientificAmerican.com blog, “Cross-check.”

3 new runways for Spring 2017
by HOPE BRANDES Junior Visual Arts & Technology Major
Traditionally, fashion week is a semi-annual event where designers give a sneak preview of what they will be offering next season for buyers and the press. Nowadays, with the shows so open to the public, many designers offer ready to wear styles for the current season too, which means there is more to
cover! Spring’s New York Fashion Week just ended with the officially dates being Feb 9-16th, and Milan and London’s shows are still happening. Since I’m feeling the warm weather lately, I want to talk about the three new Spring 2017 runways this season’s trends before we move onto pre-fall. A brand I’m less familiar with is actually what caught my eye first. Thakoon’s preppy pattern play for Spring is everything I love. The best look? A pink and white chiffon floral top over a black and white, verticalstriped mini skirt with a tan trench coat. Even better, the trench had small pattern details near the cuff and breast. The rest of the collection continues to boast this tried and true pattern combo of stripes and florals while also throwing in
some other cute, unique details, including a lace collar button down and a scallop-hemmed sweater. I’m definitely keeping Thakoon on my radar. If you liked my last article about the statement sleeve, Burberry is what you want to see. Deconstructed shirts and sweaters, extra long sleeves… this collection plays with form and structure in a fun way. I especially love the diagonal-hem sweaters and the extra-long cuffed shirts that peek out of from the jackets and sweaters layered on top. There was also a sheer, black floral lace dress topped over vertical stripes for a really fun pattern combo. There were also male models on this runway decked out in nautical stripes, long wool car coats, and high-waisted trousers. Overall there were tons
of lace, ruffles and balloon sleeves, as well as a neutral gray, white, and black palette. Tommy Hilfigher’s new Spring runway didn’t blow me away like usual, but I will mention the repeat of striped patterns. His version is big and bold in saturated reds, navy, and yellow. There was also quite a bit of shine in the collection, not the least of which belonged to a pair of shimmering pastel blue, leather trousers! The overall theme was Americana with a western touch in the form of fringe, large belt buckles and cut-off denim. There were also some cool twists on the classic jean including vertical stripes in varying denim washes and patches everywhere. While these collections were new to February, they repeat many of the style trends that
were forecasted in fall for the upcoming warmer months. Bold stripes, florals, statement sleeves, deconstructed shirts and denim, and lace and ruffles everywhere! These are the trends to look for when padding your spring wardrobe this season. I also want to give a throwback moment to Gucci’s Spring 2017 runway back in September. If you want to look at “fun” runway fashion, Gucci never disappoints. It’s hard to pick one thing to focus on in this collection, what with the bright orange, zebra overcoat, the 6-layer, multi-color tinsel one-piece, the giant walking red loofa and a midi skirt that at least 10 disco-balls were killed for… there’s something for everyone, or maybe no one! While some of it may seem off putting at first, Gucci is a great place to

Technically Speaking
Soccer 2, Technology 1: 2nd Half
by MARK KRUPINSKI
Freshman Computational Science Major
The past struggle was goal-line technology in soccer. However, the struggle has turned towards implementing video referees and instant replay within the game. Every other modern sport has something along these lines. Basketball uses it for buzzer beaters and brawls. Tennis uses it for determining whether the ball
landed in bounds or not. NASCAR uses it for photo finishes and race positioning. And in football, its used for every call. Coaches can challenge the referee’s decision using an instant replay video as well as to ensure the team scored. In all of these cases, video referees have been successful, but why hasn’t it been implemented in soccer? There are two major criticisms from fans about video referees: the flow of the game and its naturalness. With the first issue, fans are worried that the game will suffer unnecessary pauses after goals are scored or controversial fouls. As a result, the pace of the game would slow down.
Critical time would be cut out of the match. However, time is usually wasted in one form or another during these situations. Usually when a goal is scored, the scoring team celebrates for a good minute or so. During this time, the referee could be reviewing the video. The game isn’t progressing either way, so why not use the time to ensure a goal was actually scored? Additionally, when a controversial foul is committed, players crowd the referee to try to push their perspective. Instead of the players crowding the referee – which usually wastes 2 or 3 minutes – the referee could review the footage, which will
likely take a minute at most, to ensure the correct decision was made. Either way, there would be no additional time wasted by reviewing the video footage. The other argument about the game’s “naturalness” is a bit more unusual. This argument revolves around how the game of soccer relies heavily on the human element of referees. Critics, fans, players, and managers all enjoy debating the referee’s calls. But why? Shouldn’t we strive to ensure that the rules of the game are enforced as correctly as possible? I don’t see much of an argument for the naturalness besides “it lets me/ my team get away with
more.” This is the viewpoint of some managers such as Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane who called video referees as a source of confusion during a trial run at the last FIFA Club World Cup. However, this is the same Zinedine Zidane who does not have the cleanest game history: in the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final, he was sent off after head-butting Italian player Marco Materazzi. If video referees existed when Zidane was still a player, it is likely that he would’ve suffered harsher punishments for the fouls that he committed. Video referees could have additionally prevented very controversial goals such as Mardona’s
“Hand of God” at the 1986 World Cup. The opposing side doesn’t have a strong argument opposed to video referees, so why aren’t they used heavily? The people in power, those on FIFA and the IFAB, are conservative. They do not want to see drastic changes to the game. As a result, it will take a drastic event – similar to the 2010 World Cup incident – to push a large scale change in favor of them. As a former soccer referee, soccer needs to embrace technology to ensure a more correct, fair, and fun game for all involved. Next week, I’ll take a look at the sabermetric revolution in soccer and other sports.

making initial connections to campus resources,” explains Dr, Sara Klein, Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs. “They are just beginning to take advantage of all that the campus offers, and just starting to take on leadership roles in student organizations. For that reason, most colleges take steps to ensure that first year and second year students stay closer to the heart of the campus.” Trina Ballantyne, Dean of Resident Life, echoes Dr. Klein’s sentiments. The change is a part of a plan to transition students from leased housing to living on-campus and to help them become more interconnected with the campus community when the new residence halls are
completed. It was something that had been an internal discussion for some time, but only recently determined to go into effect for the fall 2017 semester. We were making other housing and dining changes, so we felt it would be better to implement changes all together, as opposed to students feeling like we were constantly making changes to the housing selection process and meal plan options. Process #1, which is for On Campus Housing, will take place from Tuesday, March 7th to Friday, March 10th. Process #2, which is for SLH and any remaining rooms from Process #1, will take place from Tuesday, March 21st to Thursday, March 23rd. Despite the disadvantage for upperclassmen in obtaining on-campus housing, senior lottery numbers are assigned priority over other returning
students for SLH. Unlike sophomores, seniors and juniors are beginning to transition to life outside of what is offered by Stevens. Upperclassmen, who are already familiar with campus and the surrounding Hoboken area, are given opportunity to exercise independence as young adults to an emerging new world. To review the updated Room Selection Process, select the housing icon in the myStevens portal. For more information, the remaining Room Selection Information session is this Friday, February 24th, 2017 at 3:30 on the 3rd floor of Howe Center, Fielding Room. For questions or clarifications, it is encouraged to contact the Office of Residence Life by email, [ reslife@ stevens.edu ], telephone [ 201-216-5128 ], or making a trip to seventh floor of Howe Center.

Jessica Martin, a volunteer for the Vagina Monologues, expresses why she became involved in the production. “[I loved] being a part of the show surrounded with supportive, funny, lovely women. Since we have so many common experiences with each other, being that we are all women and have vaginas, performing the show together makes us like a little community. The pride of sharing strong, positive values with the audience that we all have after the performance is almost tangible.” Along with Martin, the cast consists of Kristin Allocco, Natalie Barillaro, Elisa Brieva, Caroleen
Chen, Kristie Damell, Dana Desantis, Jacqueline Farzan, Joyce Flinn, Clea Flinn, Phoebe Lai, Ruthy Levi, Julie McEldoon, Laure Michelson, Molly Molino, Monica Moser, Joyce Pegler, Deanna Quackenbush, Emily Rautenberg, Melika Roberson, and Linda Volkommer, with director Liz Lamb, an alum from class of 2015. Kristie Damell closed the show by singing Aretha Franklin’s “Respect”. “I think the Monologues are a really great way to remove the stigma around female sexuality and to
bring different perspectives to the female experience,” says Karen Kong, member of the women’s varsity fencing team, “On top of that, the V-Day initiative raises money and awareness to help end domestic violence against women, which is an amazing cause.” Kong and the rest of the fencing team have been hard at work this past month advertising and selling tickets for the event.

Stevens students places second in Global Student Entrepreneur Awards by JAY RUNGTA Staff Writer
The Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) is a global network that connects business owners to enhance their lives and businesses. On Feb. 17, the New Jersey chapter of EO hosted the regional Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) competition in Livingston, NJ. “The GSEA competition is an invaluable experience for students looking to build their businesses,” said Harris Wolin, EO New Jersey president. “There are so many passionate student entrepreneurs in New Jersey, and it’s rewarding for us as an EO chapter to have the opportunity to help them take their businesses to the next level.” Beginning its his-
tory in 1998 at the John Cook School of Business, the GSEA has been recognizing extraordinary undergraduate entrepreneurs. In 2006, the GSEA became a part of the EO organization. Other than inspiring entrepreneurial endeavors in students, the program also increases the visibility of student business owners with high ethical standards and impressive, well-rounded businesses. This year, four students from different colleges competed in the competition. Kayla Jackson represented Rutgers University with PeduL, Inc., Shaaliyah Lyons represented Seton Hall with Together We Conquer Inc., Ephraim Russo represented Stevens Institute of Technology with VentureMe, and

Tram-Anh Le represented the University of Dallas with IcingAcid. Stevens’ very own Ephraim Russo was named as the second place winner of the competition for his app VentureMe. Kayla Jackson won first place and will go on to compete in the national GSEA finals on March 6 in Kansas City, Missouri. VentureMe is a startup Russo founded last summer that is meant for simply going out. It works as a personal planner that can be used for any occasion. The app uses machine learning to curate and suggest events in users’ cities. Russo says that the idea for the app came to him one day when he realized how exhausting making plans to go out is. “It all started right after the previous Stevens startup, iUbble Inc., had been merged with a prominent financial technology company. To celebrate, I wanted to treat those who had been by my side the most with a great day out. I didn’t

think it would be so hard to make a good plan until I found myself spending hours looking up places on Google, Yelp, Groupon, OpenTable, and more. Then, I saw how awkward it could be sharing fares for things like Uber, and of course Venmo,” he said. Russo then decided to use his vast experience in iOS development to quickly build an app that could take care of everything with just one button, and thus VentureMe was born. Previously, the start-
up had also won “Best Pitch” at the Stevens Venture Centre Launchpad event. Now, Russo and his team have their eyes on the Stevens Entrepreneur Awards Competition. When asked for advice he would like to give to other entrepreneurs, Russo said, “Know what you excel at, and use it to your advantage. I never thought my years of iOS tinkering would bring me to where I am now. I honestly just wanted make a Doodle Jump clone when I
started in high school.” He also revealed a key advice for startup pitching by saying, “Speak up, smile, and make others smile. You’d be amazed how effective these can be when presenting your ideas.” VentureMe is accepting beta registrations on their website at http:// venturemeapp.com. They will be having their first campus-wide release soon to those who register, and would love to get as many students as possible to download it.

Black Rail: The one way express to Yum Yum Ville
by MARKO DJAPIC
Sophomore Chemical Biology Major
This week’s food review is special for two reasons. First, it’s one of the first reviews that I’ll be submitting late to my editor (loljk Maryia don’t fire me yet). Second, it panders to all those in the same boat as I am; commuters. I apologize to everyone else, it’s a post election year, so I have to pander to my base. Black Rail, to the uncultured, is best described as a “hipster coffee shop”. To everyone else who has seen La-La Land, its probably one of the best cafes in Hoboken. Best known for their coffee and pressed sandwiches, Black Rail is con-
veniently located right next to the 9th street/Congress street light rail station. And when I say next to, it might as well be on; its practically on the platform. Unfortunately if you’re on campus, Black Rail will seem far, but students at 800 Madison, Jackson, and from Jersey City (shout out) will frequently be tempted to drop in for a cold brew, one of their signature sandwiches, or just to grab something sweet. While I usually avoid writing about service because, really, a succinct rating is all you need, Black Rail definitely deserves special recognition. Right from getting to the register I was greeted by two of the most personable people I’ve ever met. After being confused about one of their pastries, one of them proceeded to tell me a joke about the movie Beauty Shop. Then, when I ordered their cold brew, the other person offered me to try the coffee first before deciding on whether or not I wanted milk. I was simply blown away by how nice
and accommodating they were to me. After I left, I went to check their online menu, and even their website glowed with the same charm that they captured in the store. While the more jaded would dismiss it as required behavior for any capitalist institution, that doesn’t mean that I wasn’t blown away and appreciated it anyway. After ordering my food, I was immediately handed my cold brew (size: biggie smalls) and my monkey bread. Now, I haven’t had black coffee since I started drinking coffee in the first place, but I was blown away again by how smooth the cold brew was. It was as if I wasn’t even drinking coffee, but some coffee flavored drink that was as easy as ice tea, with all the texture, subtlety, and zing of coffee. I also thought it would go awful with my monkey bread, but was pleasantly surprised; the perfectly caramelized, cinnamon-y, and buttery delicious pastry practically melted in the cold brew. I would highly recommend
getting both of these things, but if you’re forced to only get one, DEFINITELY try their cold brew. Given that I had gone alone this time (I swear this never happens), I decided if I’m splurging I’m getting the one sandwich that is embodying my ‘treat yo self’ mood; THE PRETENTIOUS PIGGY. The pretentious piggy is a Black Forest Ham centered sandwich with apple, honey Dijon, provolone, brie, and spinach all on 7 grain bread. If that sounds unappetizing to you, watch La-La land and then come back. Somehow, the pros at Black Rail can perfectly balance the sensation of sweetness and
brie along with the savory, moist, juiciness of ham, provolone, and spinach. It’s almost as if you are eating two completely different meals at the same time, but that is a testament to black rail; the sandwich is savory, meaty, and creamy while also being light, sweet, and refreshing. One hundred percent, their reputation is well earned. And yes, all of their other sandwiches are named just as well. While Black Rail might be out of the way for a lot of Stevens’ students, it is a topnotch cafe with a neo-rustic industrial aesthetic. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or just doing some work, their coffee and pressed sandwiches
will definitely keep you coming back, even if they are a little far.

Ye olde ice cream shoppe
Women and the myth of work-life balance
by DAVID ROGERS
Sophomore Mechanical Engineering Major
At the end of last week’s column, I said those apps would be useful for this week’s recommendation. This week’s place is at 72nd Rd and Metropolitan Ave in Forrest Hills, so it’s a fairly long way from the PATH and PABT. It’s even a decent mile or so from the subway, so seriously, learn your way around Queens and/or download one of those apps. Some of my friends share my desire for a simple ice cream shop in Hoboken. Ben & Jerry’s and Cold Stone are really expensive and too complicated, and Rita’s is soft-serve so they don’t count. Fortunately, by some course of events that I don’t quite remember, I found out about the great, semi-hidden old-school ice cream parlor in Queens: Eddie’s. I remember Eddie’s catching my attention because it’s been familyowned for over a century and almost everything is homemade. It stood out in a city full of shops that close after half a year and creative/artsy food. Sure enough, when I got there, it was like a step back in time. Everything,
from the furniture to the signs to the decorations, looked like it was from the 70’s. The ice cream itself was, well, creamy. It’s about as creamy as hardserve ice cream can get, so I assume they make ultra-premium quality ice cream. The chocolate wasn’t too overpowering in my chocolate sundae, which is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on who’s eating. They carry mostly traditional flavors, but Tutti Frutti and Maple Walnut stood out to me as rather new flavors. Their marshmallow syrup certainly has the right amount of taste, but it stood out to me as messy. It got all over the outside of my ice cream glass, so it was quite fun to try and clean it up. However, only order it if you don’t mind having sticky fingers. The homemade whipped cream, while rather fluffy, was pretty sweet. It absolutely beats Reddi-Whip. Final details about Eddie’s: prices are pretty fair at $5.50 for a sundae. It’s more than Mr. Softee, but less than Ben & Jerry’s. You get a pretty reasonable portion for your money, so you won’t leave the shop hungry or regretful. One of my companions for this visit got a milkshake but could not be contacted for any information besides “it was lit, fam.” Since it’s a sweet shop, there is a candy counter, but the main attraction is really the ice cream. Overall, it’s a bit of a hike to this place, but it’s worth it.

I was scrolling through my Facebook feed a few days ago when I was accosted by this incredibly click-baity article headline on Business Insider: “China’s most successful businesswoman has not taken a day off in 27 years”. Although Business Insider is a bit prone to these types of articles, I nevertheless took the bait and clicked on it. What I discovered about the woman in question, Dong Mingzhu, was astounding. At 61, she is China’s most successful businesswoman and the leader of the $22 billion (£17.8 billion) airconditioning giant Gree. Her company makes $12 billion a year in revenue. It is also the largest air-conditioning manufacturer in the world, its stock value having grown by 2,300% under her 26 year leadership. But what was most shocking is this: she also allegedly has not taken a single day of paid holiday leave in a 27-year tenure at the company, according to Quartz. She refuses to apologise for her focus — her 2006 autobiography was literally titled “Regretless
Pursuit” — but it has come at a personal cost. She began work at the company as a widow after her husband died in 1984 and she left her infant son to be raised by his grandmother. One story goes that she once sent her 12-year-old son to the airport alone by bus because she was busy at work. Stunning and inspiring? Yes. A bit terrifying? Yes, that too. I guess her story struck me because it gets at a question that I myself am not sure I can answer: when it comes to work-life balance, can ambitious women have it all? As far as successful women I’ve admired seem to admit, the answer is a resounding no. PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi , a woman who I admire for her straightforwardness, admitted how hard it is to get that elusive combination of work-life balance just right. “I don’t think women can have it all. I just don’t think so. We pretend we have it all. We pretend we can have it all,” she said to Atlantic Media Company’s David Bradley at the Aspen Ideas Festival. Realistically, we may not be able to have it all, but I think it begs fair question — why are we expected to ever have it all? Where did these expectations, self-imposed or otherwise, even come from? I think the heart of the issue is that women struggle with what they think is expected of them. Women strive
to be super wives, super moms, and super career women. All the while, they stress about gaining weight, getting older, and staying competitive in the workforce when they hit perceived career snags like pregnancy and maternity leave (the horror!). The combined weight of all these tasks is daunting, and yet, somehow miraculously achieving all of them, (“work-life balance”) has been unfairly sold to women as the sole means of being happy and successful. Achieving this so-called work-life balance isn’t just hard — it’s almost impossible. And it’s a ridiculous expectation to have of oneself. Not to mention, there’s always the lurking warning that there’s a price to be paid for female ambition. When women strive to achieve success, they are often reminded that the price of working (or studying) late is somehow hurting someone else. It might be at the expense of their spouses, children, and friends, and even their own personal expense (Why pursue a career at all when you might be missing a chance to raise your children through their formative years?). I imagine Dong Mingzhu, Indra Nooyi, and women like them probably faced much of the same scrutiny when they made the choices they did for their careers. It’s also a mostly one-sided scrutiny (after all, when was the last time a male executive was asked if he
felt bad about working late hours or missing his kid’s childhoods?). More importantly, it’s a vastly outdated concern to have in a society where men and women are slowly reaching equal personal and economic footings, and where women are not just opting to be, but indeed HAVE to be, household breadwinners. In short, work-life balance is nice in theory, but falls flat in execution for most modern women — and that’s 100% OK. Don’t get me wrong — I’m not endorsing what Dong Mingzhu did, of never taking a day off in your life. Taking care of yourself and finding time, however sparse, for friends, family, and the like is incredibly important. But at the same time, I admire her brazenness in refusing to apologize for the choices she’s made. And what I took away from her experiences as well as Indra Nooyi’s is that it’s OK not to have your life 100% in balance all the time. You’re not doing something wrong if you choose to prioritize some things over others. You don’t have to apologize for your ambition, or putting your studies or your career over the other parts of your life. Balance, in all honesty, is mostly elusive. Contentment with your work, and yourself, doesn’t have to be. Getting rid of unrealistic expectations of “balance” and accepting your version of balance, whatever it may be, is the first step to getting there.

ON DECK IN SPORTS
Saturday Stevens Sports Information
SSI - Stevens Institute of Technology women’s basketball graduate student Kaitlyn Astel was named Offensive Player of the Year and junior Megan Brown was named Defensive Player of the Year by the Empire 8 Conference Thursday. The E8 also tabbed the Stevens women’s basketball coaching staff as its Staff of the Year and senior Erica Guketlov was named Stevens’ Sportswoman of the Year, an award given to one representative from each conference institution who best represents the ideals of competing with honor and integrity. Stevens women’s basketball swept the individual awards in the first year the Empire 8 Conference split its Player of the Year Award into two separate categories. In earning Offensive Player of the Year honors, Astel became the first three-time honoree in conference history after being recognized by the conference following the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons. The Staten Island native averaged 16.8 points per game, which ranked third in the conference. Astel led the E8 in field goal percentage (.458) and reached double figures in 20 games this sea-
SSI - Stevens Institute of Technology wrestling freshman Troy Stanich was named Centennial Conference Rookie of the Year Wednesday after a dominating first season for the Ducks on Castle Point. Stanich won the conference title at 133 earlier this month, topping off a perfect 37-0 regular season that saw him rise to the No.1 spot in the class nationally in the NWCA rankings. Stanich won twice by fall and once by technical fall in his title run, earning him the title of most outstanding wrestler for the championship.

son, including nine games with 20 points or more. The high-scoring guard is currently third on the school’s all-time scoring list and will finished ranked in the top five in both field goals and free throws made. She set a new school record with her 36-point performance against St. John Fisher earlier this season. “Kaitlyn is a top-notch competitor,” head coach Megan Haughey said. “She has toughness and will do anything to win. I have enjoyed my four years of coaching her.” Brown averaged 10.6 points and 10 rebounds per game, while starting all 24 games for the Ducks. The Laurel, Maryland native ranked second in the Empire 8 in rebounding and blocks (1.2) and 13th in steals (1.6), while anchoring a defensive unit that allowed the fewest points per game (56.1) and forced opponents into a conferencelow 33% field-goal percentage. The junior forward had 13 games with double-digit rebounding, 11 doubledoubles, and pulled down a career-high 18 boards against Nazareth, helping the Ducks clinch the conference’s number one seed in the upcoming postseason tournament. Brown’s 240 rebounds ranks 10th on the
all-time single-season rebounding list. “Meg is one of the most passionate players I have had the opportunity to coach,” Haughey said. “She works 150% while she is on the court and sets the bar for her teammates.” Coach Haughey and staff were recognized by the conference for the second straight season. The Ducks went 14-2 in conference play to earn the top seed for the upcoming conference tournament. Stevens lead the Empire 8 in scoring defense, rebounding, and rebounding margin, while finishing third in scoring. The Ducks will be seeing their fourth conference title this weekend and second under Coach Haughey. In addition to their individual honors, Astel and Brown were named to the Empire 8’s First Team All-Conference. For Astel, the selection marked the guard’s third appearance on the All-Conference team and it was the first for Brown. Up Next: Stevens begins its quest to defend the Empire 8 Championship Friday evening with a matchup against St. John Fisher. The Ducks defeated the Cardinals twice in the regular season.
Stevens Sports Information
SSI - Stevens Institute of Technology men’s basketball freshman Spencer Cook was named Empire 8 Conference Rookie of the Year Thursday, while senior Evan Klimchak was named to the First Team to highlight Stevens’ allconference honorees. Additionally, senior Patrick Barron was named Stevens’ Sportsman of the Year, an award given to one representative from each E8 institution who best represents the ideals of competing with honor and integrity. The all-conference nod is the second of Klimchak’s career after being named to the second team in 2015-16, while Cook is the first E8 rookie of the year in program history. Klimchak led the Ducks in scoring this season, averaging 18.5 points per game while playing a team-high 29.6 minutes per game. The veteran also contributed 3.3 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game while leading the team with 34 steals. Klimchak made program history in December when he came the 20th member of the
1,000-point club against Baruch, and will leave Stevens in the top six on the all-time scoring list. A two-time captain, Klimchak was honored academically as well earlier this season with his CoSIDA Academic All-District nod. Cook burst onto the scene this season for Stevens, finishing second on the team in scoring at 13.2 points per game in 20 appearances with one start. Cook shot 45 percent from the field and 43 percent from three, and averaged three rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Cook played the sixth most minutes on the team despite missing five games, and his 82 percent shooting clip from the line was good for third on the team. Klimchak, Cook and the rest of the Ducks will have their sights set on an E8 title this weekend when they head to Rochester as the No. 2 seed in the E8 Conference Championship Tournament being hosted by St. John Fisher. The Ducks will battle third-seeded Utica in the semifinal Friday whom they went 2-0 against this season.
Stanich named Rookie of the Year For his season, Stanich finished with 19 falls, seven majors and three technical falls, and his ROY award is the first for Stevens since junior A.J. Kowal in 2015. Stevens’ other two top finishers garnered First Team All-Conference status in senior Colin Navickas and Kowal, while senior Rob Murray, junior Zach Wilhelm, and sophomore Thomas Poklikuha each earned Honorable Mention nods in second-place showings. Additionally, head coach Joe Favia was named Coach of the Year for the third-straight sea-
