Not many students have heard of Seabrook Farms, a farm in Southern New Jersey, and few have heard of its connection to Japanese-American internment, said Amy Clark, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “Invisible Restraints: Life and Labor at Seabrook Farms,” is an online exhibition launched at Alexander Library on April 20, as a way to examine the ways in which the farm recruited Japanese-Americans and other minority groups. The online exhibition is the culmination of content created by students in a Fall 2015 course called “Public Histories of Mass Incarceration and Detention,” taught by Andy Urban, a professor in the Department of American Studies and the Department of History. The work is also part of a larger national exhibition that was launched at the New School’s Humanities Action Lab called “States of Incarceration,” a collaboration of many universities, including Rutgers. “Rutgers University’s Libraries Special Collections has a digital repository of thousands of documents, including photographs and small memoirs, relating to Seabrook Farms,” Clark said.

A computer rack fell on one man, crushing his legs under thousands of pounds and killing him. An angry patient attacked and stabbed a caseworker, nearly killing her before the woman’s coworkers stepped in. These incidents were part of the health and safety violations in New
Jersey that led local workers to march in New Brunswick on Sunday. Advocacy organizations like New Labor and the Work Environment Council gathered to honor Workers’ Memorial Day and commemorate the deaths and injuries of workers statewide. Leading a mock coffin ahead of them, the members marched from Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple on

NATAISIAH DAVIS The Rutgers University Chinese Student Organization (CSO) Sunday hosted Chinanite XXI: Ambition at the College Avenue Student Center, a charity fashion show that incorporates dance, theater and dress to support charity through the Love Without Boundaries Foundation (LWB). “The charity helps impoverished children in China. Most are orphaned, need heart surgery, cleft lip surgery as well as education and foster care and all proceeds are given to this charity,” said CSO President Elaina Ng. CSO is a student-run cultural organization that aims to incorporate Chinese culture into modern culture and Chinese interests, Ng said. This year’s Chinanite was

In a speech before the march, Dan Fatton, executive director of the Work Environment Council, said 36 people were killed in New Jersey last year while on the job. He told workers to demand respect and mentioned his support for a living wage. Members held up posters with the names of some of those who
Trump and his slogan, “Make American Great Again” arouses fear and anger from most N.J. voters rather than feelings of greatness. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump may be projected to win all 51 delegates in the June 7 New Jersey primary, but a new Rutgers-Eagleton poll found that the candidate arouses negative feelings from most of the Garden State’s registered voters. Sixty-one percent of voters said Trump makes them feel angry because of “the kind of person he is or something he has done,” while 57 percent say he makes them feel afraid, according to the statewide survey of 738 voters. By comparison, 37 percent of respondents reported that Trump makes them feel hopeful, and 34 percent said Trump evokes enthusiasm. Politics and emotions go hand-inhand, said David Redlawsk, director

of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling and a professor in the Department of Political Science, in a press release. “The intensity of emotional responses to Donald Trump may be unique for a frontrunner,” he said. “That nearly half of all voters feel contempt when considering him is astounding and is no doubt driven by his own contemptuous rhetoric.” Still, 30 percent view Trump favorably. Eighteen percent of those voters said they admire his anti-establishment, political outsider persona, while 10 percent support Trump because they believe he is a good businessman. Sean Lindenau, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and Trump supporter, said the candidate’s lack of ties to Washington is “refreshing.” “Knowing how much money is involved with the corruption, seeing a man who is not part of it is SEE TRUMP ON PAGE 4
