Hurricane Irma, one of the most powerful hurricanes to strike the Caribbean and the southeast U.S., hit the U.S. & U.K. Virgin Islands before heading to Puerto Rico on Sep. 6, 2017 . Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Roselló stated that the storm was more dangerous than anything they’ve ever seen and compromised much of the island’s infrastructure.

Despite the damage to infrastructure and at least 1.5 million power outages, Puerto Rico avoided the worst of the hurricane; yet the nascent destruction of Irma still caused three deaths.

The dual-island nation of

Prime Minister Gaston Browne said 95% of the buildings on Barbuda are damaged and the island is “literally underwater” and “barely inhabitable.”

An estimated 50% of Barbuda is now homeless. Two people died on the French islands of St. Martin and St. Barthelemy.

Ten deaths were recorded on the French and Dutch islands of St. Martin, St. Barts, and Anguilla. The French government states that their side of St. Martin has sustained at least €1.2B ($1.44B) in damages. On the Dutch side of St. Martin, more than two thirds of homes were destroyed by the storm.

Haiti and the Dominican Republic were both less damaged than expected,

Equifax faces a credit breach Staff Writer

Among the crazy weather last week, with multiple hurricanes, and even an earthquake in southern Mexico, it’s easy to have missed the Equifax credit breach that was announced on September 7th, in what many are calling the “worst data breach in the history of the modern era.”

Equifax is one of the largest consumer credit reporting agencies in the world, with the personal information of over 800 million individuals, and over 88 million businesses worldwide. Of those consumers, 143 million American individuals’ information was exposed in a breach; this includes

Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, driver’s licenses numbers, and 209,000 credit card numbers. Equifax discovered this breach this summer, on July 29th, 2017, and they believe the hack occurred in the middle of May. There is currently no law stating how many days a company has to disclose such an incident to the public, but the fact that it took 40 days to do so is unacceptable and is likely to raise scrutiny from the various governmental agencies and the public.

The entire situation has been fraught with poor decisions and suspicious activity. Three of Equifax’s top executives sold large amounts of stock only a few days after the breach was discovered —

before it was disclosed — benefiting from their shares before Equifax (EFX) shares dropped 14% on Friday, September 8th. This caused significant controversy, and many senators and lawmakers are urging the FTC, SEC, and DOJ to determine whether these managers violated insider trading laws by doing so.

Following their public breach notification, Equifax set up a website for customers to determine if they were one of the individuals that were affected. Customers who used this site, however, claimed that the information provided was inaccurate after receiving conflicting results when entering their information multiple times. Additionally, the security PIN that was assigned to each user was generated using the date and time, rather than using a randomly generated number; this would allow significantly easier access to any person trying to brute force their way into someone’s credit report, just adding insult to injury. As of September 14th, Equifax

has fixed this issue and is using a randomly generated PIN, after much public outcry.

The exploit the hackers used to breach Equifax’s systems was found be a vulnerability in the Apache Struts framework, used to create Java web applications (if you’re at all familiar with this field, you likely won’t be surprised to hear the words “Java” and “vulnerability” together). The real kicker here though, is that this is a known vulnerability that was fixed on March 6th, in a patch that Equifax failed to update their web applications to. This breach could have been prevented, had Equifax done their due diligence and updated their systems.

Equifax is currently offering free identity theft protection and credit file monitoring, but I personally wouldn’t trust them, and I certainly wouldn’t give them any more data. The best thing to do, if you may have been affected, is to freeze your credit until your account and identity are no longer compromised.

arrived.

Approximately one million people were evacuated from Cuba before the storm hit landfall on Sep. 8, yet the storm still killed ten.

On Sep. 9, Irma, at this point a category 4 storm, hit landfall in Florida. Due to heavy flooding in the lower keys, boats from the dock lay around in the streets. Irma continued its path up Florida’s Gulf Coast, eventually becoming a category 1 storm as it hit major cities like Tampa and Naples.

On Sep. 11, the storm moved into Georgia, where Governor Nathan Deal expanded a statewide state of emergency. On Monday and Tuesday, now Tropical Depression Irma went as far inland as northern Ala-

bama and Tennessee. Despite its inland path, Irma still caused excessive flooding on the Atlantic coasts of Georgia and South Carolina.

At least 65 people have died in the hurricane, including 22 in the U.S. — 12 of which were in Florida. Florida Governor Rick Scott checked medical facilities in Florida after six died at a nursing home that was operating without power for days.

Hurricane Irma hit the Caribbean as a category 5 storm, sustaining winds of 118 mph. Irma’s maximum sustained winds of 185 mph are the strongest winds at landfall in recent history, tying with a hurricane that struck the Florida Keys in 1935.

Davis Hall crowned Dodgeball King

by NASIR MONTALVO Staff Writer

On Tuesday, September 12, the freshman halls came together in Walker Gym to see which hall would be crowned this year’s dodgeball champion.

Walker Gym was filled with students wearing an array of colors. This year, defending champions Hayden Hall battled in red, Humphreys Hall in green, Castle Point Hall (CPH) in blue, and Davis Hall in “yellow” (black seemed to be the color of choice among their team).

As every group displayed their chants and began to prepare themselves, the referee (Stevens’ own chief of police, Timothy Griffin) stated some rules and closed with “Don’t be stupid!” With that, the games began.

The first match was a face-off between Humphreys Hall and Hayden Hall. The game erupted into chaos, but Hayden Hall’s strategy was to wait until all the balls came to them,

and then to throw them sporadically. Despite this, Humphreys Hall did not let off their steam and it ultimately dwindled down to three girls on Hayden. However, they could not make Hayden Hall victorious once again: the last player stand-

ing for Hayden forfeited the match.

As Humphreys settled down after their win, it was time for CPH and Davis Hall to face off. Before the match started, the teams were already competing for the best chant. The match was close.

There were lots of brutal shots, and both teams even began shouting obscene language. Davis Hall later won that match defeating CPH. Davis Hall and Humphreys Hall were the last teams to play. While everyone watched upstairs, the two teams battled it out. Davis Hall showed Humphreys Hall no mercy and eliminated most of their players in the first couple of minutes.

Eventually, everyone but

So let me give you a little background on myself. I am the youngest of four. My brother, the oldest sibling, is 25 years older than I am.

My two sisters are 18 and 6 years older than I am. I went to the same high school with the younger sister, of course she graduated six years before me, but from the same high school nonetheless. In a mere six years, a lot seemed to have changed. The high school she remembered is vastly different than the one I remember.

Besides the fact she enjoyed high school more than I did, it seemed like nobody that was present

around how common this way of thinking is in the workplace. In the office I’m currently working at, we recently switched from a cubicle system to a large open floor plan.

Anybody under the age of 40, including myself, loves this change while the rest seem to not like it. It’s kind of like Snapchat, now that I think of it. The New Yorker published this funny cartoon about a man over the age of 40 not understanding Snapchat or Instagram, and I cannot stress enough how much I believe it. My brother is slightly over the age of 40 and cannot understand the purpose of ei-

ther of those apps to save his life. Meanwhile, the older sister is only slightly below the age of 40 and regularly uses them.

This is so amazing to me.

How can generations that are currently living sideby-side seem to be such completely different people? Anyway, how are you doing?

Identity. A definition from the Merriam-Webster online dictionary.

“Sameness of essential or generic character in different instances.” Our identity is dependent on who we are…most of the time? We are who we consistently pretend to be in multiple circumstances. Unless you live true to yourself while around various people, then you are who you are when facing different challenges. How am I supposed to know who I am when I

am striving to be different from the person I think I am? How will I learn about the girl staring back at me in the mirror when all I want is for her to be who she’s supposed to be?

The most horrifying thing about college is not fitting the image that we have had in our heads of who we are supposed to be. Straight A students who party on the weekends, but miraculously keep it together because that is how it should be.

You are supposed to be surrounded by people all the time because if you are not, people do not like you and you are doing something wrong. You have to always be in a good mood because negativity doesn’t roll with people. You cannot be scared because no one else is and you are the problem.

It is not that I am not enjoying myself. I’m pretty sure it has been three weeks since I started at

Stevens and the past few weeks have been interesting to say the least. I have been on two official friend dates to New York, I hosted a movie night in my dorm that was fully equipped with pizza and candy, and I learned to play some game called Egyptian Ratscrew. I have wonderful friends that I could boast about for as long as you would let me. But as much as those things are helpful, they are not helping me figure out who I am. They are not shaping me into the person I am, they are helping me to successfully transition into the person that I want to be.

Who am I when no one is around? I am scared because no one is there. I feel like I am doing something wrong because I am alone.

Writing this article, I am alone in my room wondering if I should be doing this in the library. I am wondering if my friends

are feeling the same way or if I am alone in feeling like the world could crumble underneath my feet at any second and I would not see it coming. I think a lot of people feel the same way I do. I think a lot of people are as scared as I am and are willing to give up the things they like to be this ideal person they were always told to be.

Being new at a new school with a bunch of new people is a difficult thing. Trying to understand who you are away from your family and the things you know is also a challenge. But we need to talk about our fears, our dreams, who we think we are, who we want to be. We have to challenge what our ‘ideal’ identities are and we have to work to figure out who we are becoming in the process.

You can be scared, but you aren’t alone. There’s a world full of people who feel the same way you do.

When the eighth edition will just have to do...

by OLIVIA SCHREIBER Senior ChemBio Major

This week’s column is about the art of the deal.

I’m not talking about half-priced libations during happy hour or the small bodega with very cheap (albeit overripe) produce on Washington Street — those are two things I very much enjoy and appreciate. No, I’m talking about the methods and lengths I, and many of my peers, go in order to preserve our

financial dignity when tasked to buy textbooks for the academic term.

I am not here to discourage purchasing textbooks from the Book Store; that is a fine establishment if you are interested in the newestedition, hardcover, all-included textbook “deals.”

However, this is the seventh syllabus week that I have participated in, and I can no longer be fooled.

Whereas in the past when pen marks and extreme highlighting would have driven me mad, I now rejoice when I find an over-used textbook for a third of the price, complete with oil stains, missing pages, and illegible margin notes that may or may not have anything to do with the actual text.

“Back to School” might have meant securing $12 Five Star® notebooks to

go alongside your beautiful, Book Sox-draped textbooks in the past but now you can find me searching the depths of my contact list or the bowels of the Internet for affordable books, as well as searching every desk drawer and crevice for spare writing implements.

Of course, what plagues us the most is the Mastering-insert-class-here online learning tools that require that dreaded mix match of letters, numbers, and symbols we all know as the access code.

Sure, you can traipse the internet with whatever false sense of hope you might have of stumbling upon a “free” code, but I can assure you, the only thing you will come back with is a fake code, a computer virus, or both.

Better yet, once you do go ahead and purchase the

online learning platform, why wouldn’t you want to buy the eBook for just $47 more? You’re roped in — there is no escaping this one.

So maybe the art of the deal is not applicable to eLearning; however, to all those who are worried about bottoming-out bank accounts when it comes to getting ready to school, be skeptical about what is required. Ask your professors if having the eighth— not the ninth—edition of a textbook is truly going to set you back (it probably won’t). If you can bear reading material on a screen, pursue the PDF route but be wary of your searching. At the end of the day, when I have a choice between $160 and $0, my high-quality, math-oriented Stevens education beckons me to choose the latter.

Technically Speaking

The $1000 smartphone

by DAVID HOROWITZ Freshman Cybersecurity Major

On Tuesday, Sept. 12, Apple showed the iPhone X off to the world. It has lots of neat features and improvements, including a cool 4-digit price tag.

This may seem shocking to some, as if Apple had priced this phone way above all others on the market. Apple is not alone in pricing flagship smartphones at obscenely high prices; the Samsung Note 8 that was put up for preorder a few weeks ago retails for only $70 less at $930.

There are lots of opinions about smartphones priced this highly. Some argue that it is not unrea-

sonable for one to cost that much since it gets used more than any other device you own. Others argue that you should not pay more for a phone than a device such as a laptop or desktop. In the end, the Note 8 received 650,000 preorders in its first five days, and the iPhone X will be far more popular than that.

Diehard Apple fans believe a special 10th anniversary iPhone is worth it to them even at its high cost.

But, maybe you are a broke college student who just found out their phone is dead for good. You need a smartphone. Your friend gets mad if you don’t reply to their snaps within 12 seconds and your overprotective mother fears for your safety if you don’t answer her fifth call of the day. You need a phone, but you don’t have $1000 to just drop. Or maybe even $700, the average price of other flagship smartphones.

If this was a few years ago, I’d feel bad for you.

Budget and midrange smartphones were not the

best. You had some gems, such as the Nexus 5. But many them were not a good experience at all.

Luckily, this is the end of 2017. In the last 2 years, the biggest improvement in smartphones has been in the mid and low end.

In flagships, the only major “innovation” has been smaller bezels. In the mid and low end, screens have gotten better, batteries have gotten bigger, cameras have improved, headphone jacks aren’t being removed, and the everyday experience has improved to very close to the level of flagship devices for a fraction of the cost.

A great midrange example is the Huawei Mate 9. If you haven’t heard of Huawei before, they are a Chinese manufacturer that worked with Google on the Nexus 6P. Many people also have a stigma about Chinese tech, thinking that all of it is cheap and not worth their time. This is an outdated outlook, as Chinese manufactures now provide many wellbuilt devices at an incred-

ible value. The Mate 9 is a perfect example. It sports a 1080p display, a unique dual camera setup, a metal unibody design, an 8 core CPU, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, huge 4000 mAh battery, and more all for only $480. It has many of the features you would expect from a flagship for noticeably less money.

A great budget example would be the Moto G5 Plus. If you have an Amazon prime account, this device can be bought for only $240. It features a 1080p display, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. It also

has the Snapdragon 625 processor, which is regarded as a highly efficient CPU that is still quick enough to make the phone smooth. It does not have a premium build, and its camera is not a world beater. Even with its shortcomings, it costs less than 25% of what the iPhone X does, and it still delivers a more than usable smartphone experience.

Apple fans should not forget that they have options of their own. The iPhone 6S starts at just $450 new from Apple. It still runs well on iOS 11, has an Apple A9 chip which

is still plenty fast, and has key features such as Touch ID 2 and a headphone jack.

The iPhone SE sequel is rumored to be launching in spring, but even with this knowledge, it is also a nice choice if you can handle the small screen for only $350.

While the Note 8 and iPhone X have their place, phones in the mid-range and budget categories should not be forgotten, as they become more and more attractive options as these areas of the market push the envelope and flagships go up in price.

Scientific Curmudgeon

Is gene therapy finally living up to its hype?

by JOHN HORGAN CAL Professor

Join The Stute!

GBMs are Tuesdays at 9 PM in Jacobus 212

In 1990, geneticist William French Anderson injected cells with altered genes into a fouryear-old girl with severe immunodeficiency disorder. This was the first sanctioned test of gene therapy, in which genetic material is used to treat or prevent disease.

“If we’re lucky,” Anderson told The Chicago Tribune, “with this little girl we’ve opened the door for genetic engineering to attack major killers and cripplers, particularly AIDS, cancer and heart disease.”

Gene therapy has never fulfilled these grand hopes. In the decades since Anderson’s experiment, thousands of clinical trials of gene therapies have been carried out. But the first gene therapy was only approved for sale in the U.S. last month. The Food and Drug Administration announced its approval of Kymriah, a gene therapy produced by Novartis for a form of childhood leukemia. A few gene therapies have previously become available in China and Europe.

Hype provoked by genetic research has al-

ways outrun reality.

Gene-therapy proponents have long predicted that it will eliminate diseases such as cystic fibrosis and early-onset breast cancer, which are traceable to a defective gene, as well as disorders with more complex genetic causes. Enthusiasts also envisioned genetically engineered “designer babies” who would be smarter than Nobel laureates and more athletic than Olympians.

Gene therapy turned out to be extremely difficult, because it can trigger unpredictable, fatal responses from the body’s immune system. The National Institutes of Health warns that gene therapy “can have very serious health risks, such as toxicity, inflammation, and cancer.” Kymriah is a case in point.

The FDA press release warns that Kymriah can cause “life-threatening” immune reactions and “neurological events.”

Kymriah illustrates another problem with gene therapy: high cost. Novartis is charging $475,000 for Kymriah. As a recent Reuters article notes, over the past five years two gene therapies have been approved for sale in Europe, one for a rare blood disease and the other for the “bubble-boy” immunodeficiency disorder.

The therapies cost $1 million and $700,000, respectively. So far, the companies that make the therapies have achieved a total of three sales.

As journalist Horace Freeland Judson pointed out in a 2006 overview, biology and economics

have conspired against gene therapy.

Judson notes that “most individual diseases caused by single-gene defects– the kind that seem most likely to be cured by gene therapy–are rare.

(Sickle-cell anemia and some other hemoglobin disorders are among the few exceptions.)”

Judson adds that because different diseases “have different genetic mechanisms and affect different types of tissue, each presents a new set of research problems to be solved almost from scratch. As the millions burned away, it became clear that even with success, the cost per patient cured would continue to be enormous. And success had shown itself to be always glimmering and shifting just beyond reach.”

The advent of CRISPR, a powerful gene-editing technique, has inspired hopes that gene therapy might finally fulfill expectations. But as Science noted recently, CRISPR poses some of the same risks as other gene-manipulation methods. It “still has a long way to go before it can be used safely and effectively to repair—not just disrupt—genes in people.”

Some day, applied genetics might live up to its hype, but that day is far from arriving.

ESC hosts Chip N Dip Night

by VICTORIA PISKAREV Staff Writer

On Tuesday, Sep. 12 at 9:00 p.m., Ethnic Student Council — commonly called ESC — hosted a Chip N Dip Event in Babbio Atrium. The event included booths of all the ethnic clubs on campus, as well as the multicultural fraternities and sorority.

The booths present included Irish Club, Middle Eastern Student Association, Latin American Association, Polish American Cultural Society, Korean Student Association, Filipino Association of Student Tech, Chinese Student Association, Indian Undergraduate Association, and the Black Student Union.

The different ESC organizations provided food for the attendees — including lumpia shanghai (a Chinese cuisine), fried chicken wings, Irish sausages, and various other things.

There were games hosted by all member clubs of the Ethnic Student Council to win prizes and raffle tickets.

And towards the end of the event, the multicultural fraternities and sororities — Omega Phi Beta, Lambda Upsilon Lambda, and Nu Alpha Phi — performed their famed step dances.

Hoboken opens 9/11 Memorial

by RAMI KAMMOURH Staff Writer

On Monday, the city of Hoboken unveiled its new memorial for the city’s victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks at its annual interfaith service ceremony.

The unveiling comes 16 years after one of the most eventful and tragic days in the city’s history, a day on which 56 of its residents perished.

In Aug. 2011, the city of Hoboken was awarded a grant from the Department of Community Affairs for the construction of a Sept. 11 memorial.

The city, along with the special September 11th Memorial Committee composed of Hoboken residents, developed the memorial’s design and chose Pier A as the location. After several years of delays due to disagreements regarding design and budget, the memorial was finally unveiled on Monday to those attending the city’s annual interfaith memorial service, during which members of the community from all faiths were encouraged to come pray for the victims of the attacks. The annual ceremony consisted of prayer, reflection, and a reading of the names of all victims who had resided in Hoboken.

The memorial, oriented in the direction of Ground Zero and parallel to the grove of trees already planted at Pier A, features a steel beam base and a rect-

angular glass panel for each of the 56 Hoboken residents who lost their lives during the attacks.

The panels, composed of highly durable glass, are capable of withstanding extreme weather events such as hurricanes and flooding. Each panel is engraved with the name of one of the 56 victims along with their birth year and has an adjacent evergreen tree. The perimeter of the memorial features steel plates engraved with quotes from family members and loved ones of the victims. The memorial also features upwards-facing lights on its base such that each of the glass panels can be illuminated at night.

Sept. 11, 2001, was no doubt an extremely agonizing and tragic day for the entire country, but perhaps this is especially true for the Stevens community which watched the two towers collapse from across the Hudson River. What some may not realize is that there were several Stevens students in Manhattan that day working on various co-op assignments.

Fortunately, no Stevens students lost their lives due to the attacks.

“I’m really proud and we have been working really hard to ensure we have a beautiful peaceful memorial for the people of Hoboken,” said Mayor Dawn Zimmer to The Hudson Reporter last week. The memorial is part of Pier A’s open layout and can be visited at any time.

I Ubu Were Trouble When I Walked In MEN. TOFU SOUP.” I was skeptical — the sign looked sketchy — I couldn’t get a good view of the inside. I hadn’t heard anything at all about it and knew absolutely no one who has gone before. But to my surprise, Yelp, and other food rating sites were giving it 4 and 4.5 stars.

As I strolled along Hudson Street, I was already beginning to feel at ease.

Crazy to think that just a street over is the crowded and forever under construction Washington Street. As I took my first step, I was immediately greeted by whom I assumed to be the owner.

Granted, there were only one or two other people sitting down, but I was still brightened by the gesture.

Looking around, it was as small as you would expect it to be, but in a positive way. There were only about eleven small tables, a sushi bar with three or four seats, one sushi maker, and the

owner. There was Japanese art hanging on the walls, magazines spread around the room to browse, and music in the background, creating a soft ambiance. I could easily picture an individual with a 9-5 job walking in by themselves and eating in peace here.

However, what zushi (sushi rice in a sweet caught my attention (oh, tofu skin) on the house! they know me so well) was Then, the sushi came. It a sign they leave displayed honestly looked like very outside the door reading, average sushi. There were “SUSHI. RICE BOWL. RAeight pieces, normal sized and plain. As I took a bite, one of the things that stood out was the rice. As sushi people may know, it’s the rice that makes the sushi.

The consistency was good, and there was a bigger proportion of avocado that I would say is usual, giving the pieces a very smooth and buttery texture. But not too buttery, some cucumber was enough to balance it. Surprisingly, I noticed that the star of the show, the eel, was sparse. It took a few pieces for me to realize that, although visibly there wasn’t much eel, the taste did prevail. I tried the sushi without any soy sauce and the tastes were still quite balanced.

Next came the beef rice bowl. My hometown has strong Korean community, so I knew what it REALLY Photo courtesy of Tracy Wong was: bibimbap, a bowl of

rice including different ingredients, typically one type of meat and many other vegetables! However, this was definitely not what I am used to. This bowl felt like it could be a Korean dish with some Japanese influence. In a traditional bowl, you can find carrots, spinach, pickled radish, and mushrooms. This bowl contained lettuce, carrots, bean sprouts, beef, sesame seeds and oil, which gives it a particular fragrance.

Like I expected, there was also a spicy sauce that the customer could add themselves to suit their taste. Unfortunately, after dumping quite a bit on my rice, it still didn’t taste very spicy. But with or without the sauce, the bowl tasted great!

Again, the rice had that perfect texture, soft, but not too soft, and puffy. Mixing the bowl together, you really get a strong aroma of sesame oil. I was skeptical about the lettuce at first and the dryness of the bowl overall, but after taking a bite a was delighted to taste a flavorful mix of textures.

The bowl also tasted like something I would eat at home: healthy, simple, but

delicious.

Lastly came the tofu soup, which was definitely Korean. I believe it was called Gochujang Jjigae, and was a bright red, served in the traditional stone bowl.

From the first bit, there was a powerful flavor that took over my mouth and completely contrasting the rice bowl. It was spicy, but what I liked the most was the textures on the soup. There were plenty of small tofu chunks sinking to the bottom of the bowl, a mussel, small calamari pieces and beef chunks again. Everything, aside from the mussel, were made into smaller pieces, making spooning a bit of everything easy. A bite was a hit of four different textures at once, and five when I added half a spoon of rice to the bite.

So, what did I think overall? My tummy was happy, and so was my mood! It was a long and tiring Monday, but going to Ubu really gave it a good ending.

The food reminded me of home and I actually don’t know of many good Korean restaurants in Hoboken.

Although Ubu labels itself as Japanese, I felt like it

Come for dinner or for lunch! The price won’t make much of a difference.

Food: Service: Location: Price: $-$$ was fusion. The owner also seemed to be Korean, so that probably attributes to the influence. What really stood out to me, besides the food, was the customer service. The owner was very kind, and I could tell that he genuinely wanted to make my dinner the best experience it could be. As a student living in a city, away from home, sometimes it feels like the world around me is too busy to stop and wait, to make sure I’m feeling happy. This week, the food was good, comforting, and served with some love.

Pro Tip: Come for dinner or for lunch! The price won’t make much of a difference. It would probably be a better deal to go for dinner; however, there are some items on the lunch menu different from the dinner menu.

Automation Will End Our Economy, Unless We Do Something Now

by MATTHEW CUNNINGHAM Freshman Computer Science Major

Any day now, Waymo, Tesla, and other worldwide car manufacturers will begin commercializing their self-driving cars.

The anticipation couldn’t be more uncontainable for the wired public, which has, in the past decade, eagerly shifted everyday transportation options to a digital platform — Uber, Postmates, Lyft, etc.

Our politicians, at every level of government, seem as eager as their constituents to usher autonomous vehicles to the readyto-pay masses, enabling

the public’s addiction to the internet of things.

Yet are we prepared to handle this new era of personless driving?

This past spring, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation invited automobile industry leaders to Washington for a meeting in an effort to understand the development of autonomous vehicles and how these cars should be integrated into society.

But the committee members used the meeting to gawk at self-driving cars.

Those committee members opted to admire the ‘really scary looking’ technology instead of asking important questions about public adoption, education, or taxation.

The senators, entranced by the possibility of living like the Jetsons, failed to seriously discuss policy, hopscotching around economic repercussions of self-driving vehicles. This behavior shouldn’t be permissible, as some cities require immediate legislative action.

One such city is Pitts-

burgh, PA. Pittsburgh, in a much needed effort to be innovative, announced last spring it would be a test city for Uber’s selfdriving car program. Uber would test its autonomous taxis on public roads, and Pittsburgh would, presumably, be responsible for any consequences.

The people of Pittsburgh, impatient to summon a driverless vehicle to their doorsteps, waited for updates to come, either from the city or Uber. But no update came. Neither public service announcements nor a public hearing about the integration of this developing technology were provided.

Pittsburgh was more willing to appease Uber than provide information to its citizens. The city granted an unconventional amount of autonomy to Uber, essentially handing over the keys to the city. They were hoping the trouble-making company would treat the city’s roads kindly and its citizens with respect.

And, thankfully, for the

past several months, Uber has done exactly that: been kind, respectful, and not a regret for Pittsburgh.

But the city and the state government have slacked off in other regards: failing to regulate this nascent technology, leaving autonomous vehicles in a strange legal gray area.

After weeks of Uber being stationed in Pittsburgh, the Pennsylvania state government tried to play legislative catch-up.

They introduced new standards — S.B. 427 — that would facilitate the transition of “highly automated vehicles” into society. The bill was a wonderful first step for the state, regardless if it was an after-thefact thought. The bill, if it became law, would issue safety standards and ease any displaced people while automation looms over the transportation industry.

But whether it was lack of interest or ineptness, the senate bill was tossed around a few committees and was ultimately forgotten. There is little regu-

lation for these cars and almost no protection for the people of Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh and the state government’s intrigued yet apathetic response to selfdriving cars reveals our government’s inexperience with technology. Because of Pittsburgh, we now have a forecast of how we will interact with self-driving cars at a much larger scale.

It’s a prediction of how, with the guidance of government, future job markets will be affected by automation. For when Uber and other automobile companies decide to automate at a national level, a large portion of Americans are at risk: the 3 million people in the transportation industry.

Truck drivers, cab drivers, Lyft drivers, and every American in transportation, by no fault of their own, are in jeopardy of losing their jobs to cheaper, safer, autonomous drivers.

For a business like Uber, an automated car only costs electricity; a person costs minimum wage. Without the government looking af-

ter its citizens and workers, Uber will choose the option of best economics: replace workers with robots.

Because of Pittsburgh’s expedited processes of integrating Uber into the city, these transportation workers should worry if their government is willing to put corporate ease over their financial well-being.

So far, actual transportation workers haven’t been afforded job security by our government. In some states, there are thin regulations protecting these workers. At a national level, there is a sole policy written by the Department of Transportation.

For someone like me — who loves seeing technology flourish, yet refuses to see 3 million Americans lose their jobs — our only solution should allow these industries to thrive while providing these soon-tobe unemployed workers with social security.

How Should Lawmakers Handle The Automation Revolution?

by ALEX MURTAGH Sophomore Civil Engineering Major

The robots are taking over! Well, not exactly taking over, but they are starting to creep into more than just our daily lives. Most notable is the rise of self-driving cars.

As the industry leaders have stated, the ultimate goal of these cars is to replace every single human driven car and make traffic jams and car accidents a thing of the past. Obviously, this is a great thing for society as it will reduce our day-

to-day commute and save us hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on gas, car insurance, and overall car maintenance. This is the free market doing its job, working to move past a heavily regulated environment. It’s time to move the auto industry past the regulations that have held it back for too long.

If I can save a huge portion of my income by only using the automated cars that replaced the Uber and Lyft drivers, I will do it without thinking twice. However, what dangers does this potentially present us with?

The biggest of all is what will happen to the jobs of people who drive cabs, Ubers, Lyfts, commercial trucks, and much more.

The transportation industry is one of the largest in the country, employing millions both at home and abroad. Will all of these drivers suddenly become useless and be forced to go find a new job? Probably.

But at the same time

when one door closes, isn’t another one suppose to open? Will the free market do its job and suddenly invent a new industry or grow so that all of these people will absorb back into the job market? Now that I have more disposable income, I will boost another sector of the economy and thus help to shift all of the lost work there. What will that industry be? I can’t really say since I can’t predict the future.

One of the other major concerns is will people stop buying cars? If you can now call an automated car from anywhere in the country and have it show up at a scheduled time and place with the tap of a button, why would you bother to buy a car? Does this also mean a major slow in car manufacturing and the loss of thousands of jobs? Again, the answer is probably. The same exact scenario repeats itself yet again.

People on the left think this is now the opportu-

nity to present social security for all, or as they now call it a universal basic income. (The left likes to rebrand the names of their failed policies and try them again. i.e. because Bernie’s Democratic Socialism is somehow different from Hitler’s National Socialism?) The only difference is that you don’t have to work for your money, a check simply shows up in the mail. So where exactly does the money come from? More taxes on the already overly taxed working people of this country. Why does the man who didn’t work deserve the money of a man who got up before dawn and worked for 12+ hours to just get by? Economist Thomas Sowell once said, “I have never understood why it is ‘greed’ to want to keep the money you’ve earned, but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.” As always feel free to fact check me and remember to trust, but verify.

Rivalry Alert!

by OFF CENTER

In case you haven’t heard, the Stevens Institute of Technology Class of 2021 is the most diverse class to ever be admitted to Stevens representing 30 states! On the surface, this certainly seems like a total inclusivity win, but that could not be further from the truth.

Unfortunately, this 60% coverage of The United States of America pales in comparison to the 34 U.S. states minimum met at every other college, and even some high schools.

What kind of institution are we attending that can barely receive a passing percentage of state attendance?

It’s almost like Stevens wants to make itself look like an amateur scavenger of states rather than a savvy collector. C’mon, Stevens, I heard Harvard got 45 whole states this year. That’s almost all of them! Can you please try to keep up?

I honestly feel my education is not only dimin-

ished by only having 6 of every 10 US states represented by the freshman class admitted this year, but practically useless since that ratio would be higher at any other place of learning in the entire globe. I have half a mind, or should I say, six tenths a mind to transfer to a college with at least 40 American states represented so I can learn actual knowledge that means something.

Now, I know it seems like a long shot, but hear me out; while I’m confident you’re devising a plan to pack more states of The United States of America into the school, you have to pick up the pace a little (side note: Pace has 37 states). I need to graduate knowing I’m leaving behind an alma mater that will indeed have a student from every state. So just give 50 kids a free pass this coming admissions season. It’s a small price to pay to establish a legacy and show all of our collegiate rivals that diversity does matter to Stevens Institute of Technology.

Not with Those Shoes

NYFW gives a preview of Spring 2018

by HOPE BRANDES

Senior Visual Arts & Technology Major

Fashion Week crept up on me this season. I’ve been so busy starting senior year I almost missed it! As I write, models are still walking down the runway and have been since Sept. 6, with the final runway on Sept. 13. As with every season, designers take to the NY runway to preview the following season’s styles. That means in Fall 2017, we’re actually seeing the clothes for Spring 2018. With the

weather still warm, you might even be able to start sporting these looks ahead of the game!

Normally in spring, I look for light wash denims, bold patterns, and even bolder colors, but mostly found more subdued collections in neutrals and pastels with pops of colors and small floral prints. One of the exceptions to this trend, and my favorite runway this season, was Diane Von Furstenberg. Her spring collection has a 70’s vibe without feeling dated and is peppered with gorgeous bold colors from royal blue to aqua, bright orange, and cranberry red.

The first few dressed glittered with sequins and featured geometric, color blocking patterns in the aforementioned colors.

The accessories mirrored these patterns and many of the models carried printed bags adorned with fringes and chains. A later look featured a familiar zip

front suede skirt that was popular last season, but now in bright blue. There were also details aplenty in fringe, ruching, and empire waist crop tops.

The Derek Lam 10 Crosby runway, on the other hand, featured breezy, romantic style in a more subdued, pastel color palette, similar to the styles emulated by Anthropologie and Free People. Many of Lam’s looks featured loose, wide leg pants layered under long tunics, dresses or… other pants!

This gave the models long, flowing silhouettes. What caught my eye, however, were the mustard colored leather culottes, skirt and top with laser-cut flowers at the hem. Bold but flirty, they were the most romantic statement pieces of NYFW. In fact, yellow seemed to be the color of spring with appearances on a fuzzy, stripped dress coat in Carolina Herrera, a wrap dress in Tome, a few pairs of vibrant pants in Oscar de la Renta, as well as on many other runways.

Plaid also had its moment with Monse and Public School each giving it a classic sporty twist. The Monse models walked a runway fashioned to look like a high school gym and wore deconstructed suit jackets, pants and trench coats in bright red, navy and tan windowpane plaid.

They also had Monse sequined basketball jerseys with fringed bottoms and collegiate striped sweaters with cold shoulder cutouts. Public School’s plaid was more akin to flannel and was made into a full romper with a bomber jacket styled top. They also had huge, oversized hoodies and very high-

waisted running shorts as well as leather track pants with athletic stripes down the sides.

My favorite moment of plaid, however, was in the whimsical spring looks of Rosie Assoulin. She paired white and yellow plaid ankle pants with a thinstrapped black and white plaid, peplum top that buttoned down the front. This was layered over a plain white, balloon-sleeved blouse. I am a huge fan of matching pieces that have the same pattern in different colors. Another look I loved from this runway included a pair of cobalt blue pants with side striped of purple and orange that split at the ankle paired with a tie-front blouse that had cutouts with matching blue trim. There was also a floor length white, short sleeved dress with a hand-drawn shell pattern in a rainbow of colors that reminded me of another one of my favorite looks in Oscar de la Renta.

The Oscar de la Renta show could only be described as “artsy” with what at first appeared to be plenty of acid-wash denim but was actually embroidered paint splotches. From denim jackets to denim skirts, long blouses and dresses, quite a few pieces were white with a rainbow of paints flecks speckled across. Suiting pieces were devoid of interesting texture or pattern but made up for it with solid splashes of bright red, pink and sunshine yellow. Some of the later dresses were interesting pieces of sheer fabric decorated with printed patterns mimicking cut paper, what appeared to be hand drawn tulips and scribbles

of Oscar de la Renta.

Finally, stripes are never out of season, but next spring you can add a new look next to your Bretons and opt for a candy stripe, reminiscent of a Barber’s pole. Monse had candy stripes on extra long deconstructed button downs and sparkly fringe skirts while Self-Portrait had matching sets of shiny, blue and red, wide stripes.

Jason Wu had a more subdued pinstripe pattern on

twist front dresses, loose high-waisted pants and any reimagined form of blouse you can think of.

Tome took the cake for stripes though, with a bright, rainbow pattern decorating wrap skirts, frilly dresses and tie front pants.

Can’t wait for next Spring? Try incorporating these styles into your wardrobe early! There’s still time for a pop of color before fall settles in.

Women’s volleyball rallies to down New Paltz for sixth straight win

Season begins For Men’s Tennis with wins at TCNJ Lions Kickoff

ON DECK IN SPORTS

Saturday Stevens Sports Information

Stevens Sports Information

SSI - Sophomore Taleen Mitchell recorded a matchhigh 16 kills and the Stevens Institute of Technology women’s volleyball team won its sixth straight match with a come-from-behind 3-1 victory (18-25, 25-15, 25-11, 25-19) over the State University of New York at New Paltz Wednesday evening.

Senior Emily Singleton nearly recorded a doubledouble for the Ducks, tallying eight kills and six blocks. Stevens recorded 10 blocks on the night and forced the Hawks into 30 attack errors to improve to 8-2 on the year.

Taylor Cimillo had nine kills and two aces for New Paltz, who fell to 5-3.

Volleys and Points Back-to-back errors by the Ducks allowed New Paltz to take a quick 2-0 lead.

Stevens made 10 total errors in the opening set.

New Paltz would not relinquish the lead, opening a six-point lead.

A Maddie Zwickl ballhandling error drew the Ducks to within five (2318), but Cimillo converted a Zwickl set to give New Paltz set point and Demi Herasme set down a Zwickl feed to close out the opening set.

Stevens played one of its best defensive sets (statistically) of the season in the second set, forcing 11 attack errors, including five blocks.

New Paltz committed three more attack errors than kills for a -.086 hit percentage.

New Paltz would close to within 9-8, but Stevens scored five straight points, punctuated by consecutive block assists from Singleton and sophomore Shelby Stewart.

The Ducks would keep at least an eight-point margin the rest of the way, evening the match when sophomores Casey King and Sara Hain paired up to block a

Emma Hines attack. King finished the night with 11 kills and 12 digs for her sixth double-double of the year. Hain added four kills and three blocks.

Stevens used the momentum from its second-set victory to score five of the first seven points in the third frame.

Hitting a match-high .387 (13-1-31), Stevens only made one error in the third set. The Ducks were able to keep New Paltz off-balance with strong serving, including two aces from King and one from sophomore Julie Greco.

The Ducks scored seven of the final eight points, including three kills by Mitchell.

New Paltz jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the final set on a Julie Greenspan kill and a Veronica Matedero ace.

Stevens responded with the next three points, highlighted by a tandem block

by Hain and Singleton.

The Hawks clawed their way to a 10-8 advantage, which the visitors held until Stevens knotted the frame at 14.

With freshman Jillian Roumbanis at the serve, senior Sydni Horner was able to record a pair of digs that led to kills by King and Mitchell to give Stevens a 16-14 edge.

The Ducks would maintain the lead for the remainder of the set, forcing a Zwickl ball-handling error to bring match point.

Match Point A block assist by Emily Singleton and Shelby Stewart closed the match.

Inside the Numbers Stevens held New Paltz to a negative attack percentage in the second and fourth sets. The Hawks hit just .037 on the match.

King and Stewart each recorded two aces. The sopho-

mores rank first and fourth on the team respectively.

Mitchell also recorded a match-best 14 digs for her fifth double-double of the year.

Tonight’s victory was Stevens’ second consecutive over New Paltz. The Hawks had won seven matches in a row.

In addition to the 30 attack errors, New Paltz had eight serving errors, six ball-handling errors and one blocking error.

As a team, Stevens recorded 60 digs and is averaging just over 17 digs per set this season.

Greco came off the bench to lead the team with 27 assists over three sets. The Thornwood, New York native also added six digs.

Coach Speak “New Paltz really put the pressure on us at the start [of the match]. They came out with a lot of fire, which we struggled with.”

“In the last three sets, we were able to execute our game plan better and take control of the match,” “We struggle at the start of matches sometimes, but I’m really happy with the way we finished.”

Unsung Heroes “Both Taleen and Casey had themselves a day. Taleen was swinging harder that I’ve seen her in a long time and Casey was mixing her shots up to keep [New Paltz] on their heels. They both played awesome defense also. We talked a lot about the tendencies of New Paltz’s hitters before the match and they were able to translate that into digging them with ease.”

Up Next The Ducks return to Canavan Arena for the 2017 Ducks Classic, with matches against Alfred University, No. 24 Christopher Newport University and Arcadia University.

SSI - The Stevens Institute of Technology men’s tennis team opened its abbreviated fall season with an 8-4 mark at The College of New Jersey Lions Kickoff Tournament.

How It Happened Competing against the doubles teams from TCNJ, New York University and Dickinson College, the Ducks played 12 matches over three rounds.

In the opening round, the Ducks claimed four victories over Dickinson.
