Society of Women Engineers organize first major K-12 outreach event, Stevens STARTS

by AUDREY DSOUZA Managing Editor

The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) organized its first large-scale K-12 outreach event, titled “Stevens STARTS” on Sunday, April 8, 2018. STARTS, which stands for Stimulate, Teach, And Reveal Technology and Science, brought together members of 25 Stevens orga-

nizations and members of the Hoboken community. The event took place in the Babbio Center from 1 to 4 p.m., starting in Babbio Atrium and taking over the first three floors with tables and engaging science lessons for the kids.

The event took over five months for the STARTS committee to plan and was a collaboration between members of SWE and Alpha Phi Omega (APO).

SWE’s K-12 Outreach Co-Chair Sarah Bertussi first thought of the idea last semester. SWE runs an outreach event every semester, typically geared towards Girl Scouts, but they wanted to create a larger “inter-organizational STEM outreach event that would benefit students in Hoboken and surrounding communities regardless of age or gender,” according to Bertussi.

IEEE History Center’s “Monsters’ of Frankenstein” exhibit on display

by OLIVIA SCHREIBER Staff Writer

In celebration of the 200th anniversary year of the first edition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: Or, the Modern Prometheus, The IEEE History Center recently installed an exhibit exploring the technologies and events that are thought to have inspired the creation of our favorite monstrous character.

The “Monsters of Frankenstein” exhibit was held as part of the Technologies of Frankenstein: 1818-2018 conference, which was co-hosted by the IEEE History Center and the College of Arts and Letters and envisioned by Dr. Robin Hammerman from the College of Arts and Letters in anticipation of the Frankenstein bicentennial.

The conference, originally scheduled between March 7 and March 9, was shortened to one day by the onslaught of a powerful winter storm that descended rapidly upon the Hoboken-New York City area.

The exhibit, now on display outside Sam’s Place in the Samuel C. Williams Library, showcases the dangers that might have seeped into the story of Mary Shelley’s monstrous creature. According to IEEE History Center Historian and curator Lisa Nocks, Ph.D., Shelley was writing during a tumultuous time in Regency, England.

“These monsters in her lifetime are thought to have inspired her,” said Nocks. The exhibit highlights how food scarcity, threat of disease, and the suffering women endured during childbirth—Shelley’s mother died shortly after her birth—all contributed to a general feeling of uneasiness, providing the raw materials for a novel

were at tables in Babbio in a presentation similar to a science fair.

Some of the topics included DIY water filters, building boats, water pressure games, brain teasers, music and technology, building with legos, magnetism, resources in STEM, Borax, and many more.

“We wanted to do the event in the fall, but it required more time than we expected,” ex-

such as Frankenstein. Nocks also included details surrounding the 1815 eruptions of Mt. Tambora in the Indonesian archipelago, which devastated crops and exacerbated disease, leaving farmers desperate and hungry as demonstrated in the characters the Creature meets in Frankenstein.

While the threat of death loomed large over Shelley, she was also heavily motivated by the technological advancements of her era.

The exhibit highlights her friendship and admiration for Humphrey Davy, a family friend and “scientific celebrity” in England known best for his public demonstrations. Nocks notes that Davy had a profound influence on her and she became “very interested in the possibilities of electrochemistry.”

During Shelley’s lifetime, the power of electricity was being harnessed to improve a depleted agrarian society. However, alternative applications were demonstrated in the case of George Foster, a man sentenced to death for murder and whose corpse was subjected to dissection and electrocution by Experimental Physicist Giovanni Aldini. For Nocks, the most interesting aspect of curat-

ing the Frankenstein exhibit was learning more about the technological innovation during Shelley’s time and seeing how even Aldini’s work has informed more recent technology, such as artificial intelligence or deep-brain stimulation.

While the morals behind Frankenstein remain debated, Nocks and Hammerman are convinced that Shelley’s story is meant to serve as a cautionary tale and a chance to reflect on ethical practices. “To Mary Shelley, our pursuits of science and technology can (and do) move humanity forward in good directions when we mindfully consider the ethical implications of our work,” said Hammerman. “Dr. Frankenstein’s experiment, for instance, was a success (his creation did come alive!) but he was unable to manifest and sustain good results in part because he did not adequately address the need to maintain his creation.”

“Obviously, we are heirs to the kinds of ethical questions Shelley raises in Frankenstein about our so-called ‘innovations,’” warned Hammerman. Thus, it might be to all students benefit to visit the “Monsters of Frankenstein” exhibit while it remains on display.

Stevens Greek Community may welcome Alpha Phi Alpha and Sigma Psi Zeta

by MARK KRUPINSKI

The Office of Alumni Engagement, in conjunction with the Senior Class Gift Committee, is spearheading a new initiative: Student Philanthropy Week.

Student Philanthropy Week will take place Tuesday, April 17 through Thursday, April 19. The associated events throughout those days will serve to convey the importance of giving back to one’s alma mater and encourage student involvement with the Stevens Alumni Association (SAA), a network of more than 40,000 alumni living across the country and around the world that all students are automatically enrolled in after graduation.

As described by Melissa Fuest, Assistant Vice President for Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving and Executive Director of the Stevens Alumni Association, “Stevens

Two interest groups have formed for potential Cultural Greek Expansion: one for Alpha Phi Alpha, a National Panhellenic Council (NPHC) Fraternity, and another for an Asian-interest sorority.

Malcolm McDaniel, Assistant Director for Fraternity and Sorority Life at Stevens, has been aware of the two interest groups on campus since his first day.

“When I came to Stevens, expansion was closed,” said McDaniel.

According to him, Thea Zunick, the former Associate Director of Student Life, was involved with other aspects of student life, such as community service. However, McDaniel stated his role is primarily fraternity and sorority life.

McDaniel has heard from both interest groups. Both of these organizations cover demographics that do not have their own Greek organization to call home yet, despite them being notable populations at Stevens.

In order for a new fraternity or sorority to come to campus and the expansion process to begin, either an interest group needs to be formed or the school needs to recognize a void that could be filled by a potential organization.

Once the expansion process has started, an expansion committee is formed regarding the potential fraternity and sorority expansion. An expansion committee is a group of people that review potential Greek organization expansion candidates that wish to join the Stevens Greek Community. The expansion committee

consists of Graduate Coordinator for Greek Life Craig Shook, McDaniel, staff members that are affiliated with Greek organizations, and members from the governing body of the organization’s potential Greek community, the Cultural Greek Council (CGC).

The expansion committee reviewed Alpha Phi Alpha and gave its approval to the organization based on its expansion package, what a potential organization presents to the expansion committee. McDaniel reached out to three Asian-interest sororities, and the expansion committee reviewed two expansion packages before deciding to give its approval to Sigma Psi Zeta.

Primarily, the expansion committee looks at how much support an organization would have on campus, according to Glen Abellana, the President of the Cultural Greek Council and member of the expansion committee.

The committee looked at making sure each organization would have nearby alumni and chapters.

They would want to make sure a potential organization would have enough support and be able to sustain itself. As President of the Cultural Greek Council, Abellana would give insight and oversee potential organizations.

After a verdict is reached on each potential organization, selected organizations are invited to campus to give a presentation to and interact with the Stevens community. In these presentations, the organizations present their history, why they should come to Stevens campus, their

expansion process, and why a potential member should join their organization. At each presentation, attendees are given evaluation forms to fill out about their opinions of the potential organization. The goal of these presentations is to determine whether or not the organization would be a good fit for the Stevens community. Alpha Phi Alpha hosted their presentation on Monday, April 9, 2018, at 1 p.m. and Sigma Psi Zeta will host their presentation on Friday, April 13, 2018, at 1 p.m.

Based on the feedback from the presentation and the expansion committee, an organization may be invited to charter on campus.

At this point, the organization is given time, usually a semester, to generate interest on campus. The organization will be able to schedule tabling and attend events such as Meet the Greeks. This allows the organization to develop an interest group and then begin the intake process, more commonly known as pledging or new member education.

However, since Alpha Phi Alpha and the Asian-interest sorority already have interest groups, they would be able to skip the interest period and proceed straight to the intake process. Alpha Phi Alpha has an interest group of nine men and the Asian-interest sorority has an interest group of 14 women. Due to this, the earliest these organization may join the Greek community is the Fall 2018 Semester.

McDaniel oversees the entire process by reaching out to potential organizations, coordinating their schedules, and working with the expansion committee and the governing Greek council to hear their thoughts

and recommendations on which organizations to invite to campus. He also serves as a point of contact between these potential organizations and Stevens and organizes logistics for them.

As for the Asian sorority interest group, Ellie Kim, a member of the interest group, first heard of the idea after talking to brothers of Nu Alpha Phi. At first, Kim thought the idea was too ambitious as a freshman, but brothers of Nu Alpha Phi pushed her to pursue it.

One of the biggest draws for Kim was creating a bigger network outside of Stevens and joining a closer community. Kim stated that she does not see herself fitting in any Panhellenic sorority, but she joined all of the Asian ethnic organizations within the Ethnic Student Council (ESC) and enjoyed her time with these organizations. After talking to Asian Greeks outside of Stevens, Kim realized that she wanted to be a part of a bigger community.

However, anyone can be a part of the potential sorority despite it being an Asian interest. “People think they can’t be a part of it if they’re not Asian. On a national scale, there are Asian sisters, black sisters, white sisters,” said Kim. Members of the Alpha Phi Alpha interest group were unavailable to comment.

The Cultural Greek Council is working to welcome the potential organizations to campus. Glen Abellana, President of the Cultural Greek Council, stated that they are working on creating an expansion document that would serve as an “orientation packet” to Stevens.

This packet would include details on how to use DuckLink, how to book rooms, major events on campus, and commonly used acronyms at Stevens.

Abellana, as one of the

founding members of Omega Phi Beta, is familiar with the work that the interest groups are putting in. As a first semester freshman, Abellana joined an interest group for a Latina-interest sorority. She went through the same process of learning about different organizations, envisioning what Omega Phi Beta would be on campus, and doing what Omega Phi Beta and Stevens both needed for the organization to become a reality. Abellana doesn’t regret this decision. Omega Phi Beta helped her find a community at Stevens and helped her feel at home.

She stated that without the sorority, she “wouldn’t have enjoyed her time at Stevens.” Abellana firmly supports the expansion of the Stevens Cultural Greek Community. She believes the organizations will help fill the void at Stevens for some communities that are lacking their own space at Stevens. It will make the communities more wellknown.

There is currently no fraternity on campus designated for the growing number of African-Americans on campus, or a sorority for the growing number of Asian-Americans on campus. These two organizations could help fill the void.

McDaniel does not nec-

essarily think that these organizations will connect the gap between the Cultural Greek Council, InterFraternity Council, and the Panhellenic Conference. McDaniel stated that in order to bridge the cap, the councils need to want to come together and collaborate. However, some events already are starting to bridge the gap, with the IMPACT retreat earlier this semester as a first step, and Greek Week encouraging cross-council collaboration.

Chapters should have opportunities to show support for each other; however, not all of the chapters take the opportunity to do this.

For example, at the recent Lambda Upsilon Lambda probate, not all of the chapters sent representatives to show their support. According to McDaniel, the presidents have really strong relationships, but the general members of each organization need to want to come together.

“I think this is an exciting time,” said Malcolm McDaniel, “[the new organizations] will bring more limelight and attention to the council.” Glen Abellana shared similiar thoughts: “I am really excited for these organizations to come to Stevens.” We could see these two groups join the Stevens Greek community as early as Fall 2018.

Professor Highlights

Dr. Yujun Zhao

by SARAH HOOGENBOOM Staff Writer

Teaching one of the largest ranges of course levels in the Chemical Engineering Department at Stevens Institute of Technology, Dr. Yujun Zhao teaches future chemical engineers starting their fourth semester all the way through Senior Design projects.

Juggling 20 different courses in the span of a school year, Zhao not only teaches Chemical Engineering students but also teaches the General Chemistry lectures and labs that all freshman engineers must take during their time at Stevens.

In addition, all Chemical Engineering students are guaranteed to have Zhao at least once a semester,

from CHE 210 Process Analysis, CHE 336 Fluid Mechanics, and CHE 681 Pharmaceutical Reaction Engineering, just to name a few.

By encouraging many of his students to thoroughly go through example problems in a productive manner, Dr. Zhao makes a point of teaching with more than just the textbook concepts. In his classes, students find that he prepares them for the industry and encourages independence and responsibility in the hands of the student in an act of accountability for learning the curriculum. Guaranteed to cover all chapters in the textbook, Zhao teaches by highlighting the most important things that undergraduate stu-

dents need in the field of chemical engineering.

Outside of the classroom, with his incredibly busy schedule with courses, Dr. Zhao also finds the time to help students at office hours and even encourages students to schedule beyond his office hours. With class, office hours, and advising Senior Design projects for Chemical Engineering students, Zhao also manages to continue his research in bioreductions, biocatalysts, and bioreactors.

One highlight that makes Dr. Zhao’s classroom unique is his ability to be personable with students. Many aspects of his life and the people that he interacts with, such as his wife and his friend Mike the plumber,

stevens.edu

became a shared story between students and Zhao throughout the years. This connection with students is something that differentiates Dr. Zhao as a professor, and many students thank him for being an understanding professor who connects with students on an academic, professional, and personal level.

Judges Choice Awards Winner, The Underdog | Steven Couras

First-ever Fledgling Film Festival

by MATTHEW CUNNINGHAM Business Manager

For the past few years, more events and organizations have been created to let Stevens students try something away from the STEM field and let them express their creativity. Recently, the Office of Residence Life held the “Fledgling Film Festival,” which allowed students to express themselves and experience a territory that is somewhat foreign.

Brent Johnson, a Resident Director for the Office of Residence Life, wanted to share his love for film and allow the students to “…venture into unknown territory and try something out that they’d

STARTS

potentially never tried before.” Ultimately, Johnson wanted to tap into this untapped interest and encourage students to share their creativity with their peers.

Six teams, a total of 14 students, submitted short films relating to the theme “The Underduck Story.”

Each short film required the work of a director, writer, actor(s), and an editor. Films were judged based on editing, cinematography, story, acting, and sound. Film contestants were competing for the Audience Choice Award and the Judge’s Choice Award. The judging panel consisted of Brent Johnson, Steven Couras, Billy Middleton, and Niko

Lambert.

Films that were submitted included “Dear Matt” (Matthew Ciaccio, Daniel Cesare, and Tony Ciccone), “The Underdog” (Ryan Lange), “Hobbies” (Tyler Kui), “I Almost Died (No Clickbait)” (Melina Dallastella), “Foot Fiction” (Rachael Kondrat, Maria Agnese, Luis Ogaz), and “SITTV” (Koby Garcia, Eric Londres, Bernard Feeney, Andrew Kinney, Alex Wiederock).

The “Foot Fiction” team took home the Audience Choice Award, and “The Underdog” took home the Judge’s Choice Award.

The festival itself had approximately 60 people in attendance with a total film run time around 40

minutes. The audience was provided with popcorn and deep-fried Oreos to snack on during the films.

All audience members were entered into a raffle, and participants of the film festival received an extra raffle ticket. Raffle prizes consisted of donations from sponsors Mr. Wraps, Bareburger, Turning Point, Dunkin’ Donuts, Ben & Jerry’s, and Makai Poke Co. Professor Middleton and Residence Assistants Koby Garcia and Niko Lambert agreed that they would like to see the program continue to build in the coming years. Johnson commented, “As Niko and Koby are both returning RAs, it is very likely that will happen next year.”

began its illustrious history with a gift from Edwin A. Stevens, and Student Philanthropy Week is an opportunity for students both to learn about and to celebrate this 148-year-old tradition of giving back. The generosity of alumni and friends of Stevens is what ensures that current and future students have access to scholarships, exceptional faculty, and world-class facilities.”

Fuest expressed that getting in the habit of giving back as undergraduate students is important and beneficial since donating helps increase the prestige of a Stevens degree. U.S. News and World Report ranks colleges and universities across the country, and one of the key metrics used in these rankings is the rate of alumni who make a philanthropic gift each and every year at any level — from five dollars to five million dollars.

Student Philanthropy Week will kick off with “Get the Scoop on Philanthropy” on Tuesday, April 17, on Palmer Lawn (or Babbio Atrium in case of rain) from 4 to 5:30 pm. This event will have free ice cream served by campus leaders, such as President Nariman Farvardin and Provost Christophe Pierre, as well as members of the Development and Alumni Engagement staff. Then on Wednesday, April 18, from 12 to 4 p.m. outside

of Pierce Dining Hall, and Thursday, April 19, from 9:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. in Babbio Atrium, representatives from the Alumni Engagement team and members of the Senior Class Gift Committee will be hosting a table. Outside Pierce, there will be a free photo booth, the sock and senior T-shirt fundraiser, thank you card signing for a raffle entry of prizes, and signups for the 2018-2019 Student Philanthropy Committee.

Student Philanthropy Week will be the first one at Stevens, and the Office of Alumni Engagement hopes that it will inform the undergraduate student body about the SAA. Students that wish to become active in the SAA can stay informed about the latest news and research taking place on campus, attend events and volunteering initiatives, and invest in the community by making an annual gift. For students who wish to donate, there are currently two gifts being offered: a student-designed T-shirt to commemorate the Class of 2018 for an $8 donation, or a pair of Stevens athletic socks for a $12 donation. The Office of Alumni Engagement also hopes that these events will pique students’ interest in joining the Student Philanthropy Committee for the 20182019 academic year. Students on this committee will organize fundraising and volunteering events with alumni and current students that will help shape the future of Stevens.

Features Unity Carnival

Friday, April 13, 2018 • Page 5

by: MATTHEW CUNNINGHAM

The Ethnic Student Council (ESC) hosted its annual Unity Carnival on Palmer Lawn this past Wednesday, only two days before one of its largest events of the semester: the Unity Showcase. Unlike the Unity Showcase, the Unity Carnival doesn’t have any large-scale performances; it’s an event offering foods from various ESC student organizations on campus with short previews of the performances in the Unity Showcase. “[Unity Carnival] serve[s] as an event to hype people up for the Unity Showcase on Friday,” said Aditya Bhalla, Publicity Chair of the ESC. “Unity [Showcase] is always perceived as a big competition between all the RSOs, so the carnival is a great way to step away from the competitive nature of Unity and enjoy all the culture the Ethnic RSOs bring to campus.”

Undergraduate students had to receive a “passport” before they could be served food. Before an ESC student organization could offer food, they had to mark the

passport, indicating that the student has visited the respective organization. Most students had the passport completely marked after visiting the Unity Carnival.

The wide selection of food — such as the Chinese Student Association serving pork dumplings and the Latin American Association serving “Bebida de Mango” drinks — represented the unique cultures of the serving organizations. Most of these ESC organizations will participate in the Unity Showcase on Friday. Some ESC organizations, however, such as the Stevens Italian Club, served food yet won’t be participating in the Unity Showcase. “We’re very happy to be participating in the Unity Carnival, especially since [our organization] just restarted,” said Ian Blakeslee, the ESC representative of the Stevens Italian Club. “We hope to participate in the showcase next year.”

The Unity Showcase will be at 7 p.m. on Friday in Caravan Arena.

The Stute Editorial

Communication - the human connection “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” — George Bernard Shaw How true those words are. It seems to me, that throughout my life I am continuously reminded of the importance of communication.

You would think one would learn by now. Yet, many of us are reminded this message over and over again.

Now I’m sure that many have heard that

good communication is the key to a good relationship, yet ‘relationship’ doesn’t just mean a romantic one. It could be a professional relationship or a relationship between family members or friends.

So then how come the lack of good communication is such a constant problem when it is such an important thing?

Personally, I think it is because we take each other for granted and put communication

as the last priority. We stop wanting to listen to the other party and instead are more eager to respond with our own opinions. Now, I’m not going to discuss good communication and how it can be accomplished, because I think it’s something people have to figure out for themselves.

Instead, I want to discuss why it is important.

I’m sure most people know why communication is important in personal relationships. Yet,

“Communication should become a habit not in just personal relationships but also in professional ones.”

I think most people don’t realize the importance of communication in the workplace and any other work-like organizations.

Let’s take clubs; being on an E-Board, and having seen both good and bad E-Boards, I have noticed that the strongest organizations are ones where leaders have open lines of communication with each other. Good communication creates trust between the leaders of an organization, and tasks are accomplished much more smoothly.

Everyone is trusted to do their jobs and to be open if things go wrong or if help is needed. These organizations can rely on everyone on getting things done, and the fi-

nal product doesn’t look thrown together.

Good communication and trust are the foundation for a strong organization and leadership.

An organization where the leaders are working behind each other’s backs and not communicating is weakened by the mistrust. It reduces the productivity and quality of the organization. After all, this mistrust and the disorganization that comes with bad communication can be perceived by general members and spread throughout the organization.

I want to stress that this isn’t exclusive to Stevens clubs, The same is true when you join

the workforce and when you become a manager.

Communication should become a habit not in just personal relationships but also in professional ones. Language is something that we as a species have in common; it is our “human connection” and it is time that we remember to utilize it and not just take it for granted.

Spring Awakening woke me up

by OLIVIA SCHREIBER Senior Chemical Biology Major

This past November, I wrote a column about how I regretted never seeing a Stevens Dramatic Society performance until The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940. After seeing Spring Awakening this past Saturday, I think I deserve to be put in the stocks and shamed for missing almost three years of ar-

“As

tistic talent.

What impresses me the most is that even at such a small, STEM-oriented institution, a thriving dramatic community continues to flourish. As I read through the cast members’ backgrounds before the musical began, I realized I was about to watch a group of future scientists, engineers, and tech-masters come together to deliver a rendition of a story that covered a range of emotionally-charged topics, such as sexual assault, suicide, and teenage sexuality. And deliver they did. Little did I know that Abigail Hulse, one of my Chemical Biology classmates, has such a gift. Had I not made the time to see the musical, I would have only known

her from my Professional Ethics in Chemical Research course. Now, I have the privilege to remember her for so much more, namely her powerful singing voice and affinity for the stage.

Spring Awakening could not have come at a better time than now.

Not only has winter (finally) released its cold grip on the Northeast, but the production’s opening coincided with Mental Health Awareness Week and the beginning of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Even though the musical was based on the late 19th-century play, the pressures young adults feel continue to stand the test of time. How opportune it would have been had the tormented

when the Counseling and Psychological Services offered free depression screenings. His untimely suicide in Spring Awakening made me realize how fortunate I am to attend a university that does its best to ensure our mental well-being.

The cast and crew of Spring Awakening deserve recognition for many things: a striking set design, a free Satur-

day night rendezvous for Stevens students, and a riveting portrayal of life’s most difficult lessons. I walked out of DeBaun with Spring Awakening weighing heavily on my mind, but also with a sense of relief, knowing that drama, music, and comedy will forever have a place in our world so long as we continue to explore the human experience.

Mind of a Freshman

What it’s really like here

by MATTHEW CUNNINGHAM Freshman Computer Science Major

Here’s something they don’t tell you at Admitted Students weekend: Freshman year is absolutely crazy. It’s so crazy that I hardly remember most of it, and I’m still in it. I can barely recall all the things

that seem unreal yet that I somehow managed to experience — like attending classes that I loved, renting a car for the first time and driving through Manhattan, getting locked in the library overnight, realizing that Greek life is amazing, seeing 27 Broadway shows in a semester, and, um, because my mom reads this, other things I can’t even mention (like going to Staten Island — that was a bad choice).

Freshman year obviously involves learning and studying and going to class and talking to professors, et cetera, et cetera.

But what I’ve learned the most is that freshman year is when you start learning how to become a person.

It prepares you for autonomy. It prepares you for

independence. It prepares you for all of life’s challenges.

You know what’s a challenge? Time management.

Before coming to Stevens, my parents told me that I’d have so much free time in college. They made it seem like I would go mad at college, locked up in my room with nothing but time. But free time is the biggest lie ever, especially for Stevens students.

Most students here become busy very quickly, either doing work for the student government, the Stute, service organizations, or Greek life, or even starting their own organization. Or if they’re like me, they do all of that.

Our organizations take themselves very seriously — and for good reason! —

because each organization is like its own family. You have to remember that Stevens is a small school, so all of our organizations are relatively small, too.

As for the Stute, we’re a group of around nine nerdy writers who, each week, scramble to assemble a newspaper for the school. We dedicate our entire Thursdays to this club, finishing articles and putting the final touches on our paper’s layout. It takes up so much of our time and our lives — yet we love to do it.

Same thing for student government: My guess is that, over the course of the entire school year, I’ve dedicated a combined two weeks on student government. I love the committee meetings, attending events,

working with the administration, and advocating for the rights of students. Students have to look out for themselves here, so it’s so important for us to do this ‘play government’ work.

It’s frustrating. It’s necessary. But it’s oh-so-fun.

And then there is New York City: I’m always reluctant to check my checking account after going to the city because I know I may see some negative signs.

At the beginning of the school year, I used to think of the city as an extension of the Stevens campus. I even went to the New York Public Library every week just to study, only because it takes twenty minutes to get there. One of my favorite memories from freshman year is from the city, in fact, and it involves

me and a few friends running around Washington Square Park at 3 a.m. with ice cream in one hand and slices of pizza in another.

I don’t know what it’s like at other schools, but I’ll gladly vouch for this one. No school is as unique as Stevens, for it represents the highest ideals of nerdiness, theatrics, passion, education, and dedication. The students here know how to work hard, and they know how to love what they do. If you really want to know what it’s like here, know that it’s fun, weird, and one of the best $65,000 investments you can make. You’ll learn how to be a better you, and you’ll learn that you’ll love Stevens, even when you didn’t think you ever would.

Campus Conservative

Leave your politics at the door

by ALEX MURTAGH Sophomore Civil Engineering Major

We’ve all seen the meme going around on Facebook in which the top half states, “Highschool teacher: I’m not going to share my political beliefs, it’s unprofessional. College Pro-

fessor: What is the square root of f*ck Trump?”

Seems kinda backward, right? Shouldn’t our educators expose us to all points of view, not just their own?

Well, that’s obviously not the case on the vast majority of college campuses, including here at Stevens. Up to this point, I have only come across one professor with right-leaning tendencies during my time at Stevens, but I have run into multiple professors that are openly communists and socialists.

Statistics show that there are roughly 12 liberal professors for every conservative one on college campuses. Honestly, I’m not even sure if that number is that accurate, consider-

ing many professors will identify as independents even though they are leftleaning. Many of these professors will treat a student unfairly if they find out that the student is a conservative. I think the best example of this is Editorin-Chief of The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro. He has explained on numerous occasions about his college experience, where he would act like a conservative in the classroom but a communist on his anonymous exams. Even someone as well-spoken and articulate as him was afraid to challenge professors at the cost of his grades.

From what I’ve heard, there are many professors here at Stevens that are

“Statistics show that there are roughly 12 liberal professors for every conservative one on college campuses.” willing to lower grades solely based on the fact that a student supports a right-leaning policy. They could have cited every possible source of information and made a well-reasoned argument, but due to a professor’s preconceived biases, it doesn’t even matter. Now even though I trust my sources, I still take everything they say with a grain of salt. It might have just been them, but it’s more likely that it was the professors, considering it was a political science-

related class.

In my own personal experience, I have had one TA who was outright hostile towards conservative viewpoints. In the middle of calculus recitation, he would go on a tangent calling President Trump an embarrassment and disgrace to this country. How do you even go from math to politics? He would then transition that into why the U.S. is the laughing stock of the world before finishing with, “I assume it’s ok to say this considering most

college students think like me.” Well, I for one do not think like him (although I do agree that Trump can and does act childish).

So here’s what I’m advocating: Leave your politics at the door and act like a professional. It’s really not that hard, and I can say this based on my own experiences. Working in multiple student organizations, I always do my best to avoid politics knowing it can create hard feelings where there once was good friendship.

Scientific Curmudgeon

Should we chill out about global warming?

by JOHN HORGAN CAL Professor

It’s hard maintaining an optimistic outlook these days, especially about the environment.

U.S. officials are rolling back regulations designed to curb global warming even as reports flood in about its scale and potential consequences. I have thus found solace in two essays that offer upbeat takes on our environmental future. One, “Enlightenment Environmentalism,” is adapted

from mega-pundit Steven Pinker’s new bestseller Enlightenment Now. The book argues that we’ve achieved lots of progress, material and moral, and we should achieve lots more as long as we don’t succumb to despair.

In his essay, published in The Breakthrough Journal, Pinker contends that we can solve problems related to climate change “if we sustain the benevolent forces of modernity that have allowed us to solve problems so far, including societal prosperity, wisely regulated markets, international governance, and investments in science and technology.”

Pinker notes that we are already addressing some environmental threats.

We have reduced our rate of population growth; made agriculture, transportation and other key industries more energy-efficient; increased the acreage of

marine and terrestrial preserves. He sums up our successes as follows: “Since 1970, when the Environmental Protection Agency was established, the United States has slashed its emissions of five air pollutants by almost two-thirds.

Over the same period, the population grew by more than 40 percent, and those people drove twice as many miles and became two and a half times richer. Energy use has leveled off, and even carbon dioxide emissions have turned a corner. These diverging curves refute both the left-wing claim that only de-growth can curb pollution and the right-wing claim that environmental protection must sabotage economic growth and standard of living.”

My mood got another boost from “The Conquest of Climate,” an essay posted by journalist Will Boisvert on his blog.

“How bad will climate change be?” Boisvert asks. “Not very. No, this isn’t a denialist screed.

Human greenhouse emissions will warm the planet, raise the seas and derange the weather, and the resulting heat, flood and drought will be cataclysmic. Cataclysmic—but not apocalyptic. While the climate upheaval will be large, the consequences for human well-being will be small.

Looked at in the broader context of economic development, climate change will barely slow our progress in the effort to raise living standards.”

Boisvert examines four consequences of climate change: water shortages, food shortages, rising air temperatures, and rising seas. He contends that the negative effects of climate change will be offset by continued progress in technology and other realms. As an example, he examines a

2016 Lancet study that predicted that by 2050 climate change will cause food shortages that result in 529,000 deaths each year.

The food shortages, Boisvert points out, “are relative to a 2050 baseline when food will be more abundant than now thanks to advances in agricultural productivity that will dwarf the effects of climate change.”

Even factoring in climate change, the Lancet study calculates that per capita food consumption will be higher in 2050 than in 2010. Newsweek’s story on the Lancet study was nonetheless headlined, “Climate change could cause half a million deaths in 2050 due to reduced food availability.”

Boisvert comments: “A headline like ‘Despite climate change, rising food production will save millions of lives’ isn’t great click-bait, but it would give a truer

picture of a future under global warming.”

He adds: “Global warming won’t wipe us out or even stall our progress, it will just marginally slow ordinary economic development that will still outpace the negative effects of warming and make life steadily better in the future, under every climate scenario.”

Some greens fear that optimism will foster complacency and hence undermine activism.

But I find the essays of Pinker and Boisvert, which I highly recommend, inspiring, not enervating. These days, despair is a bigger problem than optimism.

ters. While watching the movie, each of the other characters were given some interesting traits (Martin’s obsession with magic, Abby’s shaky family history) but these traits were never revisited or expanded upon.

I definitely wanted more from the characters but was just given some passable dialogue and

expected interactions.

This is not to say that watching the film is an unenjoyable experience by any means! I would definitely recommend taking a trip to watch this movie; the humor is quirky, the conversations between the characters feel true to high school, and the storyline is easy to follow.

Spoiler Alert

Love, Simon

by KOBY GARCIA

Junior Visual Arts and Technology Major

Greg Berlanti’s 2018 film Love, Simon tells the story of a young adolescent male, Simon, who keeps his sexuality a secret from his family and friends and only begins talking about it when him and an anonymous student under the alias “Blue” begin emailing each other. Unfortunately, Simon leaves his secret email inbox open in the library and is discovered by Martin, who

blackmails Simon into trying to set him up with Abby, the new girl in school. Simon, of course, is upset by this but cannot risk his secret getting out before he wants it to.

To make matters worse, Simon’s best friend Nick is in love with Abby and Simon’s other best friend Leah is in love with Simon! Wow, tiring, huh?

Not so much. I know this is going to sound dumb being that all the characters are in high school but that complicated love polygon is just “high school drama.” Eventually, this polygon blows up in Simon’s face when Martin exposes Simon’s secret to the school after being frustrated that his pursuit of Abby is failing.

Simon’s inner conflict and forceful reveal were definitely the most interesting aspect of the movie however the reveal of

the mysterious “Blue” at the end of the film was extremely clever thanks to some small foreshadowing but ultimately felt too convenient.

One thing I do want to highlight is the attention to detail in Simon’s room. I loved looking around the frame every time we revisited Simon’s room in search of

more pop culture details.

From Funko Pop figures to musical interests and an assortment of random papers, Simon’s room definitely felt real and not, well, like a set.

Love, Simon was your normal coming-of-age story with not terribly interesting characters and a fairly predictable band of charac-

Stingray Lounge Experience CONTACT & INFO Stingray Lounge 1210 Washington St. (201) 683-6030

Mon. - Thurs.

by TRACY WONG

Sophomore Business and Technology Major

One thing I have missed most about my home state, Maryland, is the seafood. When crab season rolled in, eating the famous Maryland blue crabs at the dinner table was one of the few bonding activities my family and I enjoyed doing together. This week, it wasn’t crab that rolled into this Cuisine Corner review, but lobster!

If you walk towards Uptown Hoboken on Washington, you might see, or even walk right past this seemingly small restaurant.

Stingray Lounge, although very low-key and hidden, has a professional and classy interior. Having come directly after class with a backpack and dressed in a hoodie, I did feel the waiter judge me a bit from the corner of his eye. There was quite a big bar seating area where raw seafood was ready to be served. Similar to Baja, the restaurant wrapped around, so that on the other side of the restaurant, there was more table seating.

When I entered, I was the only customer, and it remained that way until

4 PM - 12 AM Fri. - Sun. 4 PM - 1 AM Service: Food: Location: Tracy Wong

I left. I decided to take a seat at the table, feeling even more isolated.

Because it was a Wednesday, Stingray Lounge offered lobster rolls for a special price of $15. Each day of the week has a different special, with their specials listed on their website.

Before that day, I had actually never had a lobster roll, despite it had been on my food bucket list for a while now. So, I, of course, had to order one. When the dish came, the roll was cut in half and served with a side of fries. The lobster sat on top of a hotdog bun that had been toasted with butter. Excited, I took my first bite of the sandwich. It was definitely different than what I had imagined it would be. I had expected the sandwich to be sweeter, but what I tasted was salty,

though the lobster was quite good. There was a strong, meaty flavor, and the texture was chewy but with that unique, crunchy seafood texture.

Perhaps some lemon, or another element of flavor, could have brought this lobster dish to the next level. Overall, I was happy with my first lobster roll experience — but not the fries. The potatoes were cooked and seasoned with a very… rustic flavor, almost to the point of seeming burnt, rather than just well-done for that grill flavor.

To end the meal, I decided to order the cheesecake for dessert.

Honestly, my expectations weren’t too high, but when the waiter came with the dessert, I was already impressed by the presentation. It was decorated cutely, with

fruits and powdered sugar. I had no complaints about the freshness of the fruit. Each forkful of cheesecake was smooth enough to glide easily into my mouth and down my throat. The flavor was good, but nothing that deviated from your average good cheesecake. However, it was the texture that made the cheesecake special.

Although it was very smooth, it was not runny or unable to fill me up. It was a great conclusion to my seafood meal.

Stingray Lounge was a unique experience for sure. There aren’t too many restaurants in Hoboken that have a raw bar, and it’s a shame that I didn’t get to try it. I am, however, glad that I was able to try my first lobster roll and discover a yummy dessert at this spot. Although

I’m not sure if I can really say whether or not I can replace or compare

my hometown seafood experience to my meal at Stingray Lounge, I’m glad I was able to review the closest thing to a taste of home this week!

Passion for Fashion

Palace Friday Drop

by DANIEL KANG

Freshman Biomedical Engineering Major

The British skate brand Palace is releasing another drop of clothing and skate accessories on its website and stores this Friday, April 13th. The lookbook has consisted of a predictable mix of its familiar logo, the Tri-Ferg, and its usual Nineties pop culture references. It is also influenced by athletic gear but manages to look fashionable. I remember when I first saw Jonah Hill wearing Palace while hosting Saturday Night Live and really liking the aesthetic of the brand. Now, it has gained a lot more momentum since celebrities like Drake, A$AP Rocky, Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Virgil Abloh have been seen donning their clothes.

Buying pieces from Palace’s collections has become much harder since everyone goes after the coveted Tri-Ferg logo branded hoodies and T-shirts. However, you do not have to worry if you do not have a chance to purchase an item you want: Palace follows a calendar of four seasonal drops: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. Palace tends to announce drops at the beginning of the week online Fridays and in store Saturdays. On the Palace website, the descriptions are enough to compel one to buy the clothes. This irreverent and cheery at-

titude at Palace makes it unique among the other streetwear brands crowding the scene. Although a resell market does exist for Palace, the prices are nowhere near Supreme secondary market prices. Then again, Supreme has been around for more than two decades so Palace still has time to appreciate in value.

In addition, Palace’s skating videos are special in that they do not focus on the technical specs such as video quality and surround sound but strive towards raw authenticity in bringing the skater’s experience to the viewer. There is defi-

nitely something about the lo-fi quality of VHS that cannot be replaced by current digital technology. Palace’s collaborations with Umbro, Reebok, Adidas, Bronze 56k, and the Tate celebrate the vibrant skating culture that brought about Palace and now the culture that Palace actively promotes worldwide.

Inevitably, this brings up comparisons to its sister skating brand across the pond, Supreme. Interestingly enough, when Supreme opened its first European store in London in late 2011, the only brands stocked in the store were

Supreme and Palace. In both Europe and the United States, Supreme and Palace are both located only a few blocks away from each other. I would say there is some healthy competition but they do not force consumers to choose one over the other because Supreme drops on Thursdays while Palace drops irregularly on the weekends.

Founder Lev Tanju created the brand in 2009 and slowly took over skate

shops before moving into a brick and mortar store in Soho, London in April of 2015 and then opening up another store in New York City in August of 2017.

Palace made a splashy debut by putting out a small but witty ad in The New York Times, dropping a short film starring Jonah Hill and Leo Fitzpatrick, and releasing New York exclusive items. Palace will always occupy a special place in streetwear.

SSI Junior Alex Kainer and senior Body “hodor” Yersin of the Stevens Institute of Technology men’s track & field program were named the Empire 8 Athletes of the Week on Monday in a sweep for the Ducks fol-

lowing the TCNJ Invitational.

Kainer lowered the school-record in the 100-meters and is Stevens’ fastest man after a blistering mark of 10.90.

He is the only Duck to ever run a sub 11-second

SSI - Freshman Charles Kwong drove in a pair of runs with a triple, senior Alex Detweiler reached base safely for the 21st straight game, but the Stevens Institute of Technology baseball team was unable to overcome an early deficit and fell to the State University of New York at Old Westbury, 8-5 Wednesday, in a non-conference game at the Jackie Robinson Athletic Complex.

Sophomore Patrick Rood and junior Matt Branco each had run-scoring singles for the Ducks, who dropped their second straight game to fall to 16-13.

Liam Slattery had three hits and drove in three and Michael Borsch had four RBI for the Panthers, who improved to 10-12-1.

“We were able to get a lot of our pitches work today in a final tuneup before our Fisher series,” said head coach Kristaps Aldins. “Not the result we were looking for, but we will shake it off and get ready for Friday.”

After a scoreless first, Old Westbury jumped on senior Andrew Hamel (02), touching the left-hander for three runs in the second.

Mike Manetta singled to lead off the inning. Peter Capel reached on a fielder’s choice and Shaun Kaminski

walked to load the bases.

Borsch singled to right center to score the game’s first two runs. Hamel struck out Joshua Cruz for the first out of the inning. After Jesse Russo was hit by a pitch Slattery singled to short to score Kaminski to give the hosts a 3-0 lead.

Stevens got on the scoreboard in the third. Sophomore Shaye Bartnick worked a one-out walk off Ryan Dunbar (2-2). Junior Donny Gherardi was hit by a pitch and senior Tommy Baronner reached on fielder’s choice to move Bartnick to third. Detweiler drove a 1-0 pitch into right for his 31st RBI of the year.

The Sarasota, Florida had two hits on the day and has reached base safely in 28 of 29 games.

The first baseman had one of Stevens’ four hits on the afternoon and delivered a two-run single, extending his on-base streak to 20 games. The Sarasota, Florida native has reached base in 27 of 28 games this season and continues to lead the Empire 8 Conference in runs batted in.

Old Westbury tacked on single runs in three straight innings, before Stevens rallied in the sixth. Detweiler singled to lead off the inning. Rood popped out for

time. He won that event and the 200-meters at TCNJ. His 200-meter time was 21.96 seconds.

This is the first Empire 8 weekly honor for Kainer, though he was an AllAmerican and the Empire 8 Indoor Track Athlete of

the Year during the winter season.

Yersin posted a new personal best in the hammer toss at 48.17 meters.

This is also the first Empire 8 weekly honor for the fifth-year senior.

After a pitching change, Branco greeted the new hurler with a first-pitch single through the right side to score Kwong. Bartick ended the inning with a grounder to second.

Old Westbury scored an unearned run off sophomore Chandler Brierley in its half of the sixth, but

freshman Eli Zuckerman worked out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam to limit the damage. Old Westbury scored in five straight innings. Rood plated a run in the seventh to again pull Stevens within two, but the Ducks were unable to push another run across, leaving the bases loaded.

Borsch drove in his final run of the day with a single off Drew Hanke.

Stevens threatened in the ninth. Rood connected for a two-out single off Cruz, who came on in the final
