Eagleton canvases across Rutgers on National Voter Registration Day JACOB TURCHI STAFF WRITER
With midterm elections around the corner, the Center for Youth Political Participation (CYPP) is keeping civic engagement active on campus through polling events for National Voter Registration Day today. Elizabeth C. Matto, an associate research professor and director of the CYPP at the Eagleton Institute of Politics, said that if any student wants information on how they can register to vote, the best one-stop shop is the RU Voting website — also available on Sakai and myRutgers. “On our site, students will find comprehensive, nonpartisan and accurate information that will help
them as they complete their voter registration forms,” Matto stated in an email to The Daily Targum. “Students also can get information about their polling locations, applying to vote by mail and useful news resources.” In addition to the website, the Institute is hosting numerous voter registration drives around campus, Matto said. Students are registering voters on National Voter Registration Day today at the Rutgers University Programming Association’s (RUPA) and Zimmerli Art Museum’s “Four Freedoms” exhibit, then at the Rutgers v. Illinois football game on Oct. 6. In order to vote in the New Jersey midterm elections, students must register by Oct. 16. If they
are already registered but would like to vote at Rutgers, they must update their registration by the same date. Students can register on the spot at one of Eagleton’s many polling locations across campus. Otherwise, they must submit their printed voter registration or address change forms by mail or in-person to the appropriate Board of Elections, Matto said. In the 2012 presidential election, 73.6 percent of Rutgers—New Brunswick students were registered to vote, of which 63.3 percent voted, according to the National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement. This is compared to the 2016 election where 76.6 percent of SEE DAY ON PAGE 5
A Rutgers professor has discovered that there is a cross-generational effect that cartoons have on childhood sleep patterns. Amy Jordan, a professor in the Depar tment of Journalism and Media Studies, studies the ef fects of television shows and adver tisements, and is currently looking at the role media have in children’s sleep. Developing children learn a lot from people, but they frequently learn from media and television series like “The Smurfs,” Jordan said.
“I don’t like the lesson they are learning here,” she said. “What we saw was a whole cast of male characters and one female character, who existed to be the pretty love interest.” Jordan said that when children do not see themselves in the media, it can negatively affect their sense of identity and self-esteem. Along with televison programs, advertisements also have an affect on children — in her research, Jordan is studying the balance between exposure to unhealthy foods compared to healthy ones.

$18 M. grant will launch study into tobacco propaganda ELIZABETH KILPATRICK STAFF WRITER
Rutgers has received a five-year grant from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health for $18 million to examine the effects of tobacco marketing on public health, according to Rutgers Today. The grant will be shared with the University of Pennsylvania. The Tobacco Center of Regulatory Science (TCORS) at the Rutgers School of Public Health will focus on researching and examining the effects of advertising, packaging and labeling on prescriptions, use and exposure of cigarettes and cigarillos, classified as combustible tobacco products, according to Rutgers Today. The center will focus on four primary projects and four cores, which
will provide essential training and career enhancement opportunities. These priorities include: An assessment of smoking behaviors, subjective responses and biological exposure to look at the effect of cigarette packaging on smoking low nicotine content cigarettes. An analysis of low nicotine cigarette advertising and novel tobacco product marketing with a focus on learning how the public is misinformed about health risks. An analysis of how cigarillo packaging with many colors, designs, descriptors and warning labels influence opinion and use. Looking at the effect of cigarette descriptors that can trick the user about the health harms of tobacco products. Olivia Wackowski, an assistant professor of Health Education and Behavioral Science Center for Tobacco
Studies, and Jane Lewis, an associate Professor of Health Education and Behavioral Science, will also work with Delnevo on the research. The Penn-Rutgers TCORS will also collaborate with researchers at other institutions including Columbia University, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Georgetown University Medical Center, University of Nevada-Reno and University of Vermont, according to Rutgers Today. “The greatest contributor to tobacco-caused disease is from cigarettes and other combustible products,” said Cristine Delnevo, director of the Center for Tobacco Studies at the Rutgers School of Public Health. “Tobacco regulatory science can inform the FDA on future steps that can reduce harm from the most dangerous tobacco products and have the greatest potential to improve public health.”
Rutgers will utilize an $18 million grant from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health to examine the effects of tobacco marketing on public health today. RUTGERS.EDU

Hult Prize team SULIS to deliver on clean water promise RYAN STIESI NEWS EDITOR
Rutgers students who created the company SULIS (Solar Ultraviolet Light-Induced Sterilization) finished 7th out of 43 teams at the Hult Prize Foundation Accelerator in London this summer -- missing moving on to compete for $1 million by one spot. But, that is not going to stop the team from taking lessons learned during the six-week period of debate and mentoring from continuing to grow and develop SULIS, which is a solar powered water purification system for communities without access to clean water. Anurag Modak, a junior in the School of Arts and Sciences and a founding member, said future plans include finalizing research and development at Rutgers and market validation and customer discovery overseas, all leading up to a hopeful official product launch this spring. “The Hult Prize experience was just incredible,” he said. “It was an opportunity to meet with experts from around the world, to meet with students from around the world, who were working on other initiatives to use the power of energy to impact 10 million lives, which was this year’s challenge.”
Modak said every year around September Hult Prize announces its challenge for the year, so after winning the campus challenge in December, the team moved on to regional competitions. SULIS won again in Boston, which led the team to the London-based Hult Prize Foundation Accelerator. The final six teams are moving
“There was a mentor that came in, he said ‘say your entire story in only six words’” … “Our story was ‘we help people clean water,’” he said. SULIS also sold three units during the six-week period, with how to sell being another focal point. Osumi said that encouragement of simplicity and just going

Modak said one of the mentors really focused on the value of customer feedback, and offered some advice. “Don’t give a finished product to the customers, like purposely

on to pitch at the United Nations and compete for a $1 million prize. For SULIS, the major takeaways were learning from mentors and a panel of judges who helped them reconstruct their business plans and also learn how to sell a product to a target market, Modak said. Yuki Osumi, a junior in the School of Arts and Sciences and SULIS team member, said the mentors helped SULIS, and the other groups, boil their products down to the basics.
out and interacting with customers to get feedback, resonated with him. Modak said going through the iterative process each week of deconstructing and reconstructing their business helped them identify their proposition value to customers and investors. SULIS also worked with the Indian School of Management and Entrepreneurship and Ganpat University in India, to test prototypes and get customer feedback as well as feedback regarding the
make sure that it’s not the best it can be, and see what feedback they have,” he said. “Because, some of the features that you think might be essential, your customers might say ‘no that’s horrible, I don’t want it, I don’t care for it.’” The product works by harnessing energy from the sun to sanitize water in an environmentally friendly way, Modak said. There is a cylindrical container of water that contains a catalyst in the center. When hit by sunlight,
the catalyst activates and reacts with the water to break down organic compounds and also to kill any pathogens that are present. Osumi said the water gets poured into the device with the catalyst in the middle, and then exposed to the sun for a period of time, generally seven hours, so the catalyst can clean the water. The team looks to finalize various aspects of the product this semester, such as research and development and patent and legal issues this semester, as it gears up for a launch. Modak said they are always looking for Rutgers students who want to help out. He said that support from Rutgers and the Honors College, School of Arts and Sciences, Rutgers Business School, Rutgers Global and faculty from the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and the School of Engineering made their work possible. “In the span of six weeks we completely changed our business model, we went further along in traction, we actually got to sell a few of our products as well, that we were developing,” Osumi said. “Plus, I think the best part about the accelerator, were the numerous judges that came in and mentors that were there.”
SULIS sold three products over the six weeks that team members spent at the Hult Prize Foundation Accelerator. The team learned about marketing and selling a product from mentors at the program and perspective customers out in the field. FACEBOOK

CHILDHOOD Decades ago, cigarette companies marketed toward younger generations CONTINUED FROM FRONT “A child would have to watch television for 10 hours before they would come across an advertisement for even one healthy product. They’re more likely to see snack foods and sugary drinks,” she said. Knowing that media can have a negative effect, Jordan said she decided to conduct an experiment on how teens react to messages encouraging them to drink healthier beverages. Jordan said she showed teenagers different public service announcements to see which were more persuasive — funny ones, scary ones or ones that appealed to health.
The most effective PSAs were ones that used the element of fear. “Those were the ones that made people worried so they were more likely to remember it and increase their intentions to
“If we go way back to the 70s and 80s when more teenagers were smoking, there was a real incentive to study what was influencing them,” she said. “We found that there was an impact from exposure to advertising.” Decades ago, cigarette companies were allowed to promote products in magazines and television ads, she said. For example, people may be familiar with Camel and its “smooth character”
“You would never see a tobacco ad on television now,” Jordan said. Research on media has made more educational content for children available. Jordan’s research has shown that when children are exposed to shows that present healthy lifestyle choices, they not only learn more but are more confident in new situations. This has resulted in forms of

mascot. The Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act passed by Congress banned these ads from all national networks.
regulation. For example, there was a mandate by the Federal Communications Commission that required television stations
to incorporate some form of educational content in their broadcasting, she said. Congress has also appropriated fundraising for more educational content on channels like PBS. “Now if you watch television on Saturday morning, you’ll see cartoons that are more likely to be educational,” Jordan said. With rapid changes in technology, things have changed and so has Jordan’s work. She is currently interested in how smartphone use affects sleep — turning the tide on the idea that cell phone use before bed is strictly bad. Jordan hopes that people recognize the role media play in the lives of children and adolescents. “But just studying it at one point in time is only going to give you a limited perspective. You need to keep going back to the same population and understanding what’s changed and what’s the same,” she said.
When students see characters on television that do not represent them, it can negatively affect their sense of identity, Jordan said. Children are also vulnerable to advertisements that promote unhealthy foods and other products. PXHERE
CRIME JERSEY CITY Laquan Clark, a
33-year-old man from Jersey City, was found with multiple gunshot wounds inside of a car on New Street at approximately 2:10 a.m. on Sept. 23. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead. Clark had been on dialysis for seven years, and was set to receive a new organ on Saturday. However, the donation fell through when the person from whom he was receiving the kidney survived after being taken off life support, Clark’s mother said. No arrests have been made in connection to the shooting, but the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office and Jersey City Police Department are investigating the murder.

Jayden Fondeur, a 17-year-old high school student, was fatally struck by two bullets — one in the head and one in the neck — at approximately 6:25 p.m. on Sept. 18 in front of a convenience store on the corner of Old Bergen Road and Pamrapo Avenue. The convenience store security camera caught a car passing on Old Bergen Road as more than 12 people running from the gunfire. It was not clear where the gunfire came from in the video. Simultaneously, Fondeur was seen ducking and then falling to the ground. He was taken to the Jersey City Medical Center and he was pronounced dead at approximately 6:55 p.m. No arrests have been made in connection to the shooting, but the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office and Jersey City

BURLINGTON COUNTY William
L. Sanchez-Monllor, 36-year-old police officer, of Burlington Township, has been charged with six counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child. Sanchez-Monllor — a Trenton police officer since 2010 and former detective — has been accused of abusing multiple victims on several occasions in Burlington County. Court documents showed that the abuse started as early as 2014. The details of the assaults were sealed by a Superior Court judge. Sanchez-Monllor’s exact status with the Trenton Police Department remains unclear. Alan J. Berman, a 58-year-old man, has been charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child on Sept. 21. The captain of Bordentown City’s volunteer fire department and Rider University security officer was posing as a teenage girl online to get a teenage boy to send him naked photos and videos. The boy’s mother reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that her teenage son had been contacted by a man who was attempting to engage in inappropriate conversations. Berman was also found to be in possession of child pornography. He is currently being held in the Burlington County Jail.

DAY Eagleton helps students learn how they can register to vote, their civic responsibilities CONTINUED FROM FRONT students were registered of which 70.5 percent actually voted. Matto is aware of low student-turnout rates and remains confident that ef for ts by campus groups and student involvement will drive out the vote this November. “Currently, we’ve joined forces to broadly disseminate information about voter registration and Election Day and to encourage (students) to exercise their political power and vote. I’m ver y hopeful that we’ll see an
increase in turnout rates for this upcoming midterm election,” she said. Matto still believes that it is impor tant for people to vote, especially younger people. She said there are approximately 50 million 18-29 year olds eligible to vote — about 21 percent of eligible voters are between 18-29. “I think it’s important for young adults to appreciate how much potential for power they have. If young adults turn out to vote, and do so consistently, they can exert a great deal of influence not only
on who is serving in office but the policies enacted by those in office,” Matto said. Given the current political climate, and the issues that are on the table in this election, Matto thinks that Rutgers students have a responsibility to get out and vote, in order to determine their futures and life after Rutgers. “Politics af fect the day-today life of ever y Rutgers student. From student loan debt to job availability, students have a stake in the political process,” she said. “It matters then that they play a role in determining who represents them at all levels of government and the most power ful tool democracy af fords them to determine who represents them is the vote.”

$37 M. Raritan-Milestone Water Treatment Plant opens
The Raritan-Millstone Water Treatment Plant lies at the intersection between the Raritan and Millstone River (pictured above). The $37 million donated to the plant will go toward preventing flooding during extreme weather conditions. FLICKR
ASSOCIATED PRESS VOORHEES, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24--Today, New Jersey American Water celebrated the completion of a significant, long-term flood protection project at its Raritan-Millstone Water Treatment Plant with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the grounds of the plant. This $37 million project will help ensure the water supply at the plant is protected from the increased risk of flooding during extreme weather events while maintaining a sustainable water supply for more than 1 million people in the central New Jersey region. “Today is the result of countless hours of planning and 18 months of construction made possible by hundreds of professionals who came together to
make our vision of protecting this facility a reality,” said Deborah Degillio, president of New Jersey American Water. “We have fortified this critical infrastructure in order to provide clean, safe, reliable water service – not only to our customers in Central New Jersey who rely on us every day, but also the millions of residents throughout the state we help during emergency situations.” The Raritan-Millstone Water Treatment Plant, situated in Bridgewater, Somerset County, N.J., is New Jersey American Water’s largest water production facility and a regional source of potable water supply for all or parts of seven counties in central New Jersey. The plant produces an average system deliver y of 132 million gallons a day (MGD) and is capable of
peaking at 190 MGD. As a Tier 1 New Jersey Office of Homeland Security & Preparedness facility, the Raritan-Millstone facility is also considered “Critical Infrastructure” by the federal Department of Homeland Security. Water supply from the plant is also provided to five large bulk water sales connections, and two Critical Regional Emergency Interconnections – the cities of Newark and Trenton. The plant is located near the confluence of the Raritan and Millstone Rivers – an area of Somerset County that experiences severe flooding during significant storm events due to the relative low ground surface elevations in the floodways adjacent to the two rivers. Prior to the $37 million investment project, the earthen berms and
north side reinforced concrete flood wall surrounding the plant were previously designed to provide flood protection for a 100-year flood event, which is marked by an elevation of 44 feet. The system of flood protection had been tested three times in recent years, with peak flood water levels recorded within inches from the top of the berm/wall. With the completion of this project, the entire floodwall system at the plant has now been raised by 4 feet to an elevation of 48 feet, which is the level of flood resiliency supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corp of Engineers. The raising of the floodwall now provides flood protection from storm events up to 500-year recurring frequency.
In addition to raising the plant’s north reinforced concrete floodwall, the earthen berms in the northeast and west have also been raised and widened, additional reinforced concrete flood walls have been constructed, new flood gates have been installed and drainage mechanisms have been improved. To complete this significant project, New Jersey American Water contracted with AECOM for design engineering and KC Construction Inc. as the general construction contractor. The majority of the cost of raising the floodwall, which amounts to approximately $27.2 million, is being funded through low-interest financing from New Jersey Infrastructure Bank in partnership with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

Dr. Ford’s case has much larger context
F
ord Motor Company of Detroit, Mich., which developed the black Model T, would not only survive the FRANCESCA PETRUCCI Great Depression, but become one of the most successful American companies to date. In The Communist Manifesto, Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx discuss the class antagonisms that arise from the friction between the Bourgeoisie and their exploitation of the laboring Proletariat. In short, the text predicts a class consciousness among the Proletariat which drives the working class to revolt against the Bourgeoisie. The result? A classless society where labor, land, industry and wealth are shared between all people. A five-day work week, greater pay and the ability to actually purchase the product they built, lessened that friction, keeping Ford Motor Company in business and laborers fairly content. What it means to be a Ford has changed. This new Ford hails from Maryland, is a psychologist and professor at the Palo Alto University and like the Model T, only bears the name “Ford” because some guy gave it to her. In her case it was her husband, Russell Ford, whom she met on Matchmaker, a more sophisticated Tinder for academics — scandalous. On Sept. 16, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford alleged that the current Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, sexually assaulted her at a party in 1982. But everyone minus infants and literally every potential witness (Patrick Smyth, Mark Judge and Leland Keyser) who was alleged to have been at the party cannot “recall” or does not remember the events, knows about this case. This groundbreaking #MeToo allegation prompts memories of Anita Hill’s 1991 testimony where she alleged then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual misconduct. The testimony led to what was coined as the 1992 “Year of the Woman” where more women ran for public office than any previous year. If 1992 was the Year of the Woman, 2018 is, according to The Washington Post, “The Year of the Woman on Steroids” — queue picture of Blasey Ford jacked on ‘roids. Now, it is important to understand that this friction is not a singular movement, even though you run the risk of seeing it treated as an isolated incident, relegated to a certain place and time. We know that President Donald J. Trump’s minions are rampant and are embodied in leaders throughout the world. The #MeToo movement bears many different languages, constantly reshaping itself to meet a multiplicity of issues. But, the air of resistance is similar. Similar to the visions of Marx and Engels, this is a widespread collective action whose form varies depending on the context of the place, but surrounds one central right: gender equality. Let us then look at second-sex consciousness and mobilization around the world. In the U.S.: Currently, the U.S. ranks 104th worldwide in terms of gender representation in government, making up one-fifth of the total 535 congressional seats. More women have run for office and won major party primaries for Senate, House and Gubernatorial seats this year than any other year. South Korea: In January, public prosecutor Seo Ji-hyeon accused a former high-level ministry of justice official of sexual harassment. This spurred movements calling for an end to workplace harassment, the gender wage gap and changes in cultural attitudes. Sound familiar? Brazil: The #EleNão(#NotHim) has surfaced in response to the possible election of Trump 2.0, also known as Jair Bolsnaro. Bolsnaro is known by those opposed to him for his misogynistic and racist remarks. Bolsnaro has said he would not employ a woman with the same salary as a man because women get pregnant and also told fellow-Congresswoman Maria do Rosário, “I wouldn’t rape you because you don’t deserve it.” Nice. Spain: Women went on full strike for a day. They redefined “work” by staging a public strike as well as a domestic one. In March, Spanish feminist groups urged women to ditch household chores in addition to skipping their paid jobs for one day. Hundreds of trains were disrupted and the Spanish newspaper El País had to post a video explaining why the newsroom was understaffed for the day. Philippines: In defiance of President Rodrigo Duterte and his drug war, which has claimed the lives of more than 7,000 people suspected of drug offenses, women have rallied in public places to condemn his actions. They have derided several of his lewd remarks toward women especially against UN representative Christine Lagarde who was tasked with investigating the murders after referring to her as a “daughter of a whore.” The Blasey Ford case has spurred the unification of females globally. It certainly is embodied in movements that happen within the United States, but it is necessary to understand the root of this movement through all of its iterations, languages and steroids, remains the same: the antagonism between two classes, the ruling and the ruled.

There are lessons to be learned from Kavanaugh, his accuser LEFT BRAIN, RIGHT BRAIN BREANA OMANA
B
rett Kavanaugh — who is days away from being appointed to Supreme Court Justice — has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, when he was 17. Although I was horrified to hear this news, it is sad to say I was not shocked. It seems everyday or week there is a new celebrity, politician or otherwise successful person getting accused of sexual misconduct or rape. It is like almost all of us have become desensitized to allegations of rape — Kavanaugh is just another example of how numb society has become. Although Kavanaugh has denied the allegations, an investigation has begun. Ford and her family have relocated because of all the backlash and death threats they have received. Millions of people have tuned in to see what will happen — all of whom have different opinions of the situation. Even though so much attention has been given to this case, the FBI has refused to get involved. Even worse, thousands of people are defending Kavanaugh, and not only blame Ford, but question her validity and why she would come out with allegations now, when this took place in the 80s.
I am disgusted that people believe rape and sexual misconduct are a new phenomenon, or that it is the woman’s fault and question why she did not come out with accusations earlier. “How dare she tarnish the career of this successful man,” and “Why now?” are sentiments felt by not a minority, but rather thousands of people who have come up with their own conspiracy theories. They
to be instances of assault and rape that happen ever y day in small towns, big towns, schools, prisons — ever ywhere. Although not identical to Ford’s stor y, millions of people have stories of assault and abuse. What we as a society often fail to realize, understand or pay attention to is how the victim feels. To be assaulted leaves victims feeling humiliated, ashamed, depressed,
“Stick up for those who risk so much to let their truth be known. Listen to those who have been victimized — listen to Ford, hear her ...”
spend their time trying to invalidate Ford rather than hear her out. The tragedy is that we as a society not only encourage and cultivate a rape culture but we invalidate and silence those who are abused, assaulted and raped. Ford is not the only person who has been assaulted. Even before Kavanaugh, the #MeToo movement and the wave of allegations and attention given to sexual misconduct, there were and continue
anxious and much more. To then have to reveal that trauma to others becomes incredibly difficult and painful. The truth is, when society ostracizes women like Anita Hill and Ford — calls them weak and liars — we silence the thousands of others who have been abused and assaulted. Knowing how people who allege sexual abuse and assault are treated by society, why would someone tell the public, go to court and try to get justice?
According to Rainn.org, out of every 1,000 rapes, only 310 are reported to the police — out of these rapes, 994 perpetrators will walk free. Rape is the worst thing to be accused of. It is a vile, heinous and selfish act. It leaves those assaulted with a lifetime of trauma and pain. We as a society need to focus on protecting those who come out and tell their stories. To be assaulted is humiliating and leaves one feeling powerless. For a woman or man to speak out, especially in front of the world, takes courage and unfathomable strength. Stick up for those who risk so much to let their truth be known. Listen to those who have been victimized — listen to Ford, hear her, fight for the FBI to be active in the investigation, make your voice heard, do not be complicit, do not be a bystander. When you fail one, you fail millions. You not only fail past victims, but you fail future girls who may one day be in that position and will be scared because they still live in a world where society chooses not to hear their voices. Do not fail them. Breana Omana is a School of Arts and Sciences junior majoring in journalism and media studies and minoring in political science.

Reimagine workwear for weekend night out LEONA JUAN STAFF WRITER
Business attire can be something that many of us feel hesitant to venture into. It all seems very intimidating, uncomfortable and most importantly, expensive. When internships and corporate jobs come around, we find ourselves spending money on clothes that we’ll only be wearing at the office. This unfamiliar world of structured blazers, trousers and loafers can actually be incorporated into our everyday wardrobes. These splurges are worth it when we actually find a way to wear them outside of the office. By making simple swaps, office attire can feel like streetwear. Plaid prints have been everywhere, whether it be Saks Fifth Avenue or Forever 21. This print that was once strictly associated with workwear has now made an appearance in streetwear. You can easily buy clothing in this print for both the office and a night out with friends. A pair of plaid pants can be office appropriate with a tucked in blouse and flats. For a
casual, everyday look, switch the blouse with a cropped t-shirt and sneakers. Pants can be the easiest piece of clothing to work with. A plaid pencil skirt that you’d usually wear for work can be worn to class or brunch with friends. Throw on a chunky sweater and a pair of booties since it’s officially fall. Blazers are a workwear essential, but they aren’t limited to your internship or day job. These structured jackets are widely known as a symbol of workwear, but can be worn on top of a ton of outfits. If you’re feeling confident, throwing on a blazer over a pair of biker shorts, a crop top and heels is actually really trendy for a night out. For a more toned down look, a pair of distressed mom jeans and sneakers will make great use of a blazer. The great thing about a blazer is the versatility. What has been really popular lately are matching blazer sets. Shorts matched with blazers look super polished and cute, plus they give you two pieces that you can mix and match with. Dress shoes are exactly what they sound like: dressy and formal. While dress shoes such as loafers
or oxfords are usually used at the office, it has become more common to wear them on an everyday basis. Loafers can be worn with a loose sundress or skinny jeans. Backless mule loafers have been seen everywhere, with Gucci specializing in different styles, including some that are embroidered or lined with fur. If you work at a more casual office, these backless loafers could be a comfortable addition to your closet. This style of loafers are the perfect shoe to just throw on with any outfit. They look great with virtually anything, whether it be a slip dress or boyfriend jeans. Oxfords also give a classy look to any outfit. Distressed jeans and a cute top or an A-line skirt would be streetwear ready with oxfords. Suits might be the scariest clothing on this list. Not only is a suit an investment, it seems like something that is strictly worn to an interview or important meeting. Whether it be pantsuits or a jacket and pencil skirt combo, suits can be extremely intimidating. These investments don’t have to sit in your closet until you land the job. The best part about a suit is that it consists of multiple pieces that can be mixed and matched with other things in your closet. This past New York Fashion Week, Tibi showcased how suits can be streetwear ready, creating suits in a wide array of colors, fabrics and prints. The tailored pants
Often seen as a formal item, a blazer can easily be dressed down. To really be on trend, pair a plaid-stuctured blazer with biker shorts and heels for your next casual Friday. INSTAGRAM can be worn just like any other pair of jeans. Cuff the bottom and pair with a cute t-shirt or tank and sneakers. For the guys out there, the suit jacket can be worn over a graphic t-shirt and fitted jeans. We completely understand the stress that can happen when
thinking about whether we should buy office attire or save the money. These investments can definitely be worth it when we find a way to incorporate them into our everyday outfits. Be business ready in the office, as well as out of it.
To JUUL or not to JUUL: Rutgers students weigh in on vaping GOPA PRATURI CONTRIBUTING WRITER
On a lively evening toward the start of the semester, two groups of friends pass each other on Easton Avenue. One student from the first group pulls out a sleek, black device from his jacket pocket. He takes a long drag from the end of it, and dramatically puffs out a cloud of smoke just as the second group passes by. Two friends from the second group share a look. “We get it, you vape,” one of them said, and the other chuckled. Studies show that college students are becoming increasingly polarized about a number of issues, and vape culture is no exception. “To Vape or Not to Vape” has become a popular debate on college campuses. Some students consider vaping a part of their lifestyles, while others adamantly refuse to vape and judge those who do. Though electronic cigarettes have been around since 2003, vaping became a widespread cultural phenomenon after PAX Labs created the ever-popular JUUL in 2015. In 2017, JUUL dominated the rapidly-growing e-cig market with a 49.6 percent dollar share, according to a recent Wells Fargo report on Nielsen data. Business Insider called this handy device “the iPhone of vaporizers,” due to its cult following, brand equity and compatibility only with its own related products.
With JUUL’s sleek, easy-to-use design and assortment of flavors, people who never were addicted to cigarettes in the first place are now hooked on nicotine. GARRETT STEFFE / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER As JUUL’s business began to take off, so did teen vaping habits. A 2018 Wall Street Journal study stated that the number of teens who used e-cigarettes in the past month rose 75 percent since 2017. The reasons teens gravitate toward the JUUL are not as complicated as they seem. Parth Patel, a Rutgers Business School junior, said that he vapes simply because he likes the taste. “I always liked hookah,” Patel said. “A JUUL is essentially a portable hookah.”
Inside Beat correspondent Jordan Levy, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, wrote a piece for The Daily Targum in January 2018 that features other reasons why college students enjoy vaping, including the sleek design, assorted flavors and cost savings that JUUL offers its users. On the other hand, the reasons some students used to advocate against the practice are growing in number and complexity. Primarily, vaping poses more health complications than JUUL
and other popular companies let on. JUUL Labs claims on its website that its product focuses its efforts on “improving the lives of the world’s one billion adult smokers by providing them with an easy to use vapor alternative to combustible cigarettes ...” The website does not go into detail about how much healthier this alternative is compared to cigarettes, though, (most likely because it is not much healthier at all). For instance, JUUL markets the “similar level of nicotine” in its products as a benefit that makes “switching (from cigarettes) as easy as possible.” Research done by the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine stated that e-cigarettes are not FDA-approved as smoking cessation devices. In fact, most smokers who switch to vaping often end up frequently using both cigarettes and vaporizers. This research also stated that vaping can be more addictive than smoking regular cigarettes. Extra-strength JUUL pods and e-cigarette cartridges are available, and they contain higher concentrations of nicotine. In addition, a study done by Truth Initiative stated that JUULs deliver nicotine 1.25-2.7 times faster than the average cigarette does, which can lead to higher nicotine intake in a shorter span of time. Unfortunately, only 13.2 percent of teens know about the nicotine content in their vapes, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. This lack of knowledge can lead to further
addictive behaviors within the demographic. Many people who never were addicted to cigarettes before quickly became hooked on nicotine after buying a JUUL. It’s easy to smoke anywhere with a JUUL, and it tastes good, so it’s easy to start avidly puffing away. Potential health risks are not the only reason that some students avoid vaping. After vaping became popular among teens, the practice quickly developed a cultural stamp online. In 2016, h3h3Productions released a YouTube video that parodied many elements of vape culture, which quickly went viral and spearheaded the #VAPENATION movement on social media. While some people on social media use this hashtag to voice their support of vaping, the hashtag is more often used to address vapers in a satirical sense. Some students do not want to be associated with this reputation, and others simply believe that the practice is clunky or exaggerated. “I think students refrain from vaping because of the bad stigma it has,” said Teresa Ngo, a School of Arts and Sciences junior. “People who vape ... seem to want everyone around them to know they do it, like those random college students blowing giant clouds in other students’ faces.” In the end, the choice to vape or not to vape is up to college students themselves. Those who decide to purchase a JUUL should do so with both the risks and the rewards in mind.

HOME Rutgers picks up win over Michigan State before loss to Ohio State CONTINUED FROM BACK to her assist earlier in the game by scoring her 3rd goal of the season. Van Schaik earned the assist on the play. Scoring certainly seemed to come in bunches in this game,
as just 3 minutes after Gollotto’s goal, junior forward Austyn Cuneo netted a goal of her own carrying the ball down the side of the field before finding the back of the box. After Michigan State finally got on the scoreboard to make
it 4-1, Rutgers scored its 5th and final goal of the day with a shot from junior forward Nikki Santore. Groothuis tallied the assist on the goal. Three former Eastern Regional Vikings scored in the game, as Gollotto, Cuneo and Santore all netted a goal. “I’m really pleased with the team’s overall performance. I thought we played some excellent hockey,” said head coach Meredith Civico, according to scarletknights.com. “We scored some

MINUTE Ali scores another overtime goal to lift Knights over Terrapins CONTINUED FROM BACK Once again, Rutgers was the aggressors in this one, which left the defense with a lighter load than in previous games. Maryland only had two shots on goal the entire game and freshman goalkeeper Meagan McClelland only had one save, her season low. “They understand the importance of us doing it as a team, and that’s what happens when you’re on the road because you’re always going to be down in numbers with crowd and support, they embrace the mentality of ‘its us against them’ and they understand that to be a good team they need to bring their best and get points on the road,” said head coach Mike O’Neill. Despite outshooting the Terrapins 13-6, the game was essentially a stalemate for the first 79 minutes. Moneme put a cross from Ali into the right corner to give the Knights the lead late. But, in the final 4 minutes, Maryland would get its only goal of the game on a rebound from a free kick by Anissa Mose. “Sometimes when you dominate the game and you give up a goal, then the shoulders go down, and that didn’t happen. Even in the last 3 minutes, we thought we
were gonna get one in the last 3 minutes, but then when we got them to overtime we just said ‘let it go’ and that’s exactly what we did and we went out and got one in 53 seconds,” O’Neill said. It was deja vu for Ali after striking to get the game winning shot yet again, but, she would still put it behind her game winner against Wisconsin last year, she said. She did claim that it was a more satisfying shot than her goal against Iowa last Sunday. O’Neill believes that his coaching staff’s preparation for this game was some of the best preparation the staff has had for any game this season, and credits his players for keeping the right mindset throughout the game. “It’s just a humble and hungry group. That’s the key to success, you have to be humble and you have to be hungry,” O’Neill said. The win marks Rutgers’ second road win of the year, the first being a 3-0 win over non-conference foe UConn back in August, but it is also the shortest distance the team will have to travel this week. The team returned home on bus the following night, but will get on a plane on Wednesday for a two-game set in the midwest against Wisconsin on Thursday and Minnesota on Sunday.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“We all worked hard, so we just wanted to end the game there. I was just happy to get it done as quickly as we could and as quickly as possible.” — Sophomore forward Amirah Ali

WOMEN’S SOCCER RUTGERS 2, MARYLAND 1
Rutgers wins again in 1st minute of OT JACKSON THOMPSON CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Rutgers women’s soccer team got it done away from home on Sunday as sophomore forward Amirah Ali hit her second walkoff shot of the week to defeat Maryland 2-1. With the win, the Scarlet Knights improved to 6-1-3 on the season, the best overall record in the Big Ten, but still trail Nebraska by three points for first place. Overtime is becoming common practice for Rutgers as the match against the Terrapins marks its fourth straight game that required extra time. Fortunately for the Knights, Ali picked up right where she left in the extra period after last week’s last second goal, hitting the winning shot only a minute into overtime on an assist by senior backfielder Kenie Wright. “We all worked hard, so we just wanted to end the game there. I was just happy to get it done as quickly as we could and as quickly as possible,” Ali said. “It’s definitely nerve racking because it is golden goal, so once one team scores its over, but we have that confidence going into (it) that we will win the game.” Ali and fellow sophomore forward Nneka Moneme both scored in the match — marking the first time that both Ali and Moneme have scored in back to back weeks. Sophomore forward Amirah Ali kicked in a goal for Rutgers in the first minute of overtime versus Maryland this past weekend, helping the Knights pull out the 2-1 victory.

No. 9 Knights upset by Buckeyes at home MATTHEW HOWE CORRESPONDENT
Hosting a pair of Big Ten opponents this weekend, the Rutgers field hockey team left the weekend going 1-1, beating Michigan State and falling to Ohio State in a shootout. The first game, which took place on Friday, was a decisive 5-1 victory over the Spartans (47). The No. 9 Scarlet Knights (7-2, 1-2) dominated in shots (14-2), as well as corners (4-1). Senior backfielder Linde van Schaik got things started for Rutgers when she scored 18 minutes into the game, assisted by sophomore midfielder Daphne Groothuis. Three minutes later, sophomore midfielder Gracey Butsack made it 2-0 when she scored her 1st goal of the season that was assisted by junior forward Alanna Gollotto. “This feels so good,” Butsack said, according to scarletknights.com. “It was great to be able to contribute to help the team to a win. We played really well together, just simple hockey, connecting on short passes. We used each other well and that led to this result.” Taking a 2-0 lead into halftime, the Knights wasted no time opening up the scoring in the second half. Two minutes in, Gollotto added Senior midfielder Nikki Profita scored 2 goals in Rutgers’ 4-3 loss to Ohio State on Sunday. Profita now has 3 goals on the season and is shooting 50 percent from the field. GARRETT STEFFE / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / SEPTEMBER 2018 MLB SCORES
