THE REVIEW

The state of East Main Street: Getting together to remember an East Main Street now far gone OLIVIA MANN Managing Mosaic Editor

The façade of Cheeburger Cheeburger on the corner of East Main Street and Haines Street has transcended time and identities. The 1950s-style burger restaurant chain’s façade, built in 1953, was first home to the Hollywood Diner. Then, Jude’s Diner. Then, Jimmy’s Diner. Then, Newark Diner.

Then, Korner Diner. And now, Cheeburger Cheeburger.

In 1984, Jimmy’s Diner was granted a liquor license by the Delaware Alcohol Beverage Commission. You could enjoy breakfast and a beer.

According to the attendees of “Newark in the 1980s: An evening of reminiscing,” favorites included chicken dumplings, corned beef and cabbage and “Friday night meatloaf” — and it wasn’t very good, but you got a lot of it.

On Nov. 14, Jim Jones, a retired professor of African history at West Chester University, exhibited neverbefore-seen photographs he took of East Main Street in the early to mid-1980s at the Newark Senior Center.

“Newark in the 1980s: An evening of reminiscing” was hosted by the Newark Historical Society.

“I didn’t take a picture of every building on the street [East Main Street], but I took enough pictures that I can pretty much walk you down the street and back up again,” Jones says. “Part of how I got to know Newark well … was working as a bus driver around here … at that point I didn’t even know how to drive a stick shift, so of course the first thing they [Stiltz Bus Line] give me is a school bus with a bunch of children on it and stick shift.

I got good at it after the first two intersections.”

The exhibition attracted a crowd, almost all of whom spent the evening reminiscing about a now far-gone East Main Street much different than today’s East Main Street, which boasts four burrito spots, three coffee shops and two make-your-own pizza places.

But in the glow of Courtesy ofJim Jones nostalgia, the ordinary becomes Throughout the evening, the Newark extraordinary.

Farm and Home Supply seemed to In the late-1980s, the carry an air of legacy.

Newark Farm and Home Supply closed after nearly 40 years of business on East Main Street. The mid1990s laid witness to the redevelopment of the old Newark Farm and Home Supply into a site for street-level, commercial fronts and upper-floor, luxury apartments — today’s Washington House Condominiums.

Fred Williamson, born and raised in Newark, Courtesy ofJim Jones fondly remembered the In 2006, Happy Harry’s became just Newark Farm and Home Supply. another vestige of a time left in the past.

“The floor slanted, didn’t it?” Williamson says. “The floor slanted when you went in.”

Other attendees of “Newark in the 1980s: An evening of reminiscing” remembered purchasing tiny little screws for six cents and after “looking everywhere on Earth” finding radiator keys at only the Newark Farm and Home Supply.

“They had everything and anything,” Williamson says.

Courtesy ofJim Jones Another historic gem The Deluxe Luncheonette was built in retained from decades past is 1928. the old Stone Balloon Tavern

and Concert Hall — even if it’s just in the name.

“There was a choice,” Jones says. “You could be a Stone Ballooner, you could of course, not go out to bars, that was a third option, not that anybody ever did that, but the choices were either you were a Stone Balloon person, or you were a Deer Park person.”

The property was transformed from Merrill’s Tavern into the Stone Balloon Tavern and Concert Hall. The Stone Balloon Tavern and Concert Hall went on to be demolished in 2006 to clear the way for — you guessed it — the Washington House Condominiums.

In 2006, Happy Harry’s, which operated in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey, transformed into Walgreens.

Gail Chickersky, longtime Newark resident, spoke about how Happy Harry’s blatantly disregarded fair-trade laws, statutes implemented for price maintenance.

“When Happy Harry’s came to town, this was his [Harry Levin’s] very second store, and they really didn’t have a whole lot of money to put into inventory, so there was lots of sanitary products and diapers that filled the store,” Chickersky says. “They were known for pursuing people who shoplifted. The first store on Main Street that really pursued shoplifting. They were also the only store in town that went against what were at the time fair-trade laws, where there were some things that you would price the same in every store no matter

what … like Revlon Lipstick.”

Other East Main Street staples included the Deluxe Luncheonette, which was lovingly known as “The Greasy Spoon” or “The Spoon” and compared to a Paris cafe in the 1920s in a 1984 New York Times article, Rhodes’ Drugstore, which was where Newark Deli and Bagels now stands, and Eagle Furniture.

“I haven’t been in it since it became Starbucks, and I wasn’t in it when it was Eagle Furniture,” Jones says. “I kind of found all my furniture on the sidewalk.”

Brent Thompson, who graduated from the university with a bachelor’s degree in nursing in 1980 and in 1982 with a master’s degree in nursing, remembered — not so fondly — Skid Row. “I was shocked that people paid rent to live there,” Thompson says.

(Trust me, we’re still shocked.)

Other attendees of “Newark in the 1980s: An evening of reminiscing” were dedicated to East Main Street beyond just being a university alum or longtime Newark resident.

One of the photographs Jones showed the crowd depicted a fire on East Main Street that took place in November 1983.

Dennis Cataldi, a then-member, and now life member, of Aetna Hose Hook & Ladder Company, remembered being on the ladder that same night.

“It’s really not about me,” Jones says. “It’s about Newark here.”

Album review: Lil Peep’s “Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2” paints a portrait of a tortured artist struggling to recognize his own potential EDWARD BENNER Staff Columnist The rise of SoundCloud in the early 2010s created a cultural phenomenon that has radically altered popular conceptions of stardom, independent music and the DIY ethos, especially within the hiphop genre. Aspiring musicians, regardless of location or level of talent, have a free platform to expose millions to their art and can exist completely outside of the industry, allowing them an unprecedented amount of freedom and power.

For Gustav Ahr, better known by his rap moniker Lil Peep, this ability to create on his own terms led him to become one of the most influential artists emerging out of this decade.

Releasing three mixtapes in two years, culminating in “Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1” from 2017, Peep cemented

himself as an innovator and primary force in creating a new genre of hip-hop that mixes rap beats with emo rock samples and lyricism.

In a tragic overdose of fentanyl and Xanax, Lil Peep was taken from the world too soon at age 21 on Nov. 15, 2017, undeniably leaving his mark on the music industry and causing many to wonder what else he could have delivered had he lived longer. His creativity, ear for samples, lyrical honesty and knack for melody made him an icon and a voice of a generation of outsiders.

Realizing the importance of Lil Peep to his fanbase, Peep’s mother and creative partners released the posthumous “Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2,” deciding that his message needed to be heard. The hope was for this project to serve as a breathing testament to his art and show the intense passion

and care he put into his craft up until the end.

The opening track, “Broken Smile (My All),” illustrates why those important to Lil Peep made the decision to bring these songs to the public. This ominous track, driven by steel drums and a piano/synth build over a finger-picked reverb guitar and trap beat, delivers a powerful rumination of love, loss and heartbreak.

A large part of Peep’s appeal to youth especially was his frankness in talking about personal struggles with mental health and substance abuse, difficult topics that unfortunately were at the forefront of his life. His pain and message of resilient solidarity inspired, comforted and saved his listeners.

Lyrics like, “Why the f--- do everybody act like they care? / I was dying and nobody was there,” from the song “Runaway,”

THANKFUL, NEXT

are particularly gut-wrenching considering Peep’s background and how closely death loomed while he recorded these songs.

“Runaway” is a good summation of Peep’s attitudes near the end, as he admits to using drug abuse as a dangerous escape, seeking some sort of satisfaction in a girl that he knew would never exist outside of his dreams and viewing people from a particularly “Holden Caulfieldesque” lens of phoniness.

The vicious cycle of feeling alone and turning to drug abuse only to experience further alienation is a repeated thematic motif throughout “Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 2.” This awareness of his self-destruction on songs like “Leanin’,”“IDGAF” and “16 Lines” make the album a particularly harrowing yet cathartic listen. His distorted vocals paired with the somber instrumentals embody the sound of depression but also

the beauty of Peep’s creative mind, showcasing his immense potential.

The song “Fingers” is evidence that Lil Peep both recognized the dangerously thin line he was walking with his reckless lifestyle and was accepting of his own inevitable mortality. He sings, “I’m not gonna last here / I’m not gonna last long” in the track’s outro.

Nothing changes how sad it is that Peep predicted his own premature demise, but he still lives on through his art that continues to give a voice to those who need it most.

His influence has overtaken the mainstream and spawned countless copycats, establishing him among the ranks of talents lost too soon.

Nine reasons you deserve the Black Friday half-off 55-inch smart TV more than Karen

JENNIFER WEST Senior Reporter

the Cartwheel app for deals, but nothing beats those sweet bonus rewards from your Target card, something Karen doesn’t even have.

It’s finally Black Friday, and you’ve been waiting outside of Target for the past six hours. You did your due diligence, checked each sale ad and selected the perfect TV for your den. But your neighbor Karen has her eyes set on the exact same one, as usual. Here are nine things to tell yourself in line that will hype you up and prove you deserve that flat screen more than Karen.

7. Karen has a Roku Why would Karen even need a smart TV? Does she understand the function of the Roku that her new boyfriend bought her?

8. Karen probably doesn’t know what a smart TV is In all honesty, Karen isn’t even that bright. She has smart TV functions but still wants your glory. She doesn’t deserve the power of singledevice Netflix streaming plus voice command and built-in internet options.

1. Karen is three spots back in line Karen has been trying to talk to you all night, probably to cut in line with you. If she’s not going to take Black Friday seriously, she deserves to stay back there in line, and she certainly deserves a worse deal on a TV. 2. You have a bigger hosting space

Everyone knows that your living area is much bigger than Karen’s. She shouldn’t be allowed to get a 55-inch TV if she doesn’t have the space to provide for everyone who will be able to view it.

3. Cindy just got a new one and you NEED to upstage her Karen has lived such a cushy life and has probably never had to compete with other neighbors. This is YOUR time to shine, and Karen

Mosaic tries something new: Riding the buses BRIDGET DOLAN Copy Desk Chief

If you have eyes, then you’ve probably noticed the new, undecorated, almostentirely white buses that have been running on the North-South College Avenue route.

The university has boasted about these buses on its transportation services Twitter, @GetAroundUD, but the question remains: Are the buses all they’re cracked up to be?

Not really.

On Wednesday, I took a chance, stepped onto one of these new buses and rode it from Student Health to the North Campus parking lot.

Even from the outside, what could have been an impressive bus was diminished by the lack of a functioning screen that normally displays the route.

Instead, a piece of paper labeled “NORTH-SOUTH COLLEGE” was taped to the inside of the front windshield of the giant transportation tampon.

I sat in one of the seats closer to the entrance to the bus, and I promptly started to slide out of the seat. The seats closest to the entrance — two benches of three seats each — are upholstered with a smooth fabric and are high enough that only the balls of my feet touched the ground, and at five and a half feet, I’m not short. The aisle is also narrower in this section of the bus, and is vaguely reminiscent of a bottleneck or a haunting artist’s rendition of a cervix.

“You can’t outmaneuver God, you can’t outfox God,” played from where the bus driver sat, listening to an enthusiastic, evangelical sermon while he drove.

WWW.UDREVIEW.COM

BRIDGET DOLAN/THE REVIEW The university has implemented new buses along some of the routes, leaving some students to question if they are actually better

The remainder of the bus was one giant aisle, flanked by seats. No longer are there

pairs of seats that allow for you to stare out the window like a melancholy poet. Now, you must make yourself

comfortable between two neighbors and avoid awkward eye contact with the passenger facing you on

the other side of the aisle.

I twisted in my seat and tried to get comfortable while also staying on it, which involved holding on to the metal handrail usually reserved for standing passengers. No matter which position I tried to sit in, I couldn’t get comfortable in the seat.

The handrails, by the way, are not particularly accessible for the passengers they’re meant to serve.

The handrails are situated above the heads of seated passengers, forcing those standing to get up close and personal with their fellow bus riders. Ever wanted a facefull of someone’s stomach as they try not to fall on you?

The new buses offer you the chance.

Then, the bus made its stop outside Gore — the “Smith NB” stop — and took on more passengers. The bus filled up quickly, and soon, I, too, had a neighbor.

Thankfully, because I had chosen an end seat, I only had one neighbor and could pretend that I had some semblance of personal space.

As I neared my stop and prepared to make my escape, I twisted back to find the stoprequest rope. It was easily an arm’s length behind my head from the front seat, and I am grateful that someone with easier access was also getting off because they did me the favor of pulling it.

As I disembarked from the sloped exit, I thought to myself that even though I have an injured foot, maybe walking isn’t so bad after all.

Lit Lens: “Sourpuss” offers a dark satirical take on fraternities, campus culture NATALIE WALTON

Managing News Editor

One of the opening lines of “Sourpuss” is an internal monologue from a college senior in reference to her fellow college-aged peers: “Come summer, I’ll be far, far away from this bunch of idiot children and their worthless degrees.” It is a bold start to what can easily be referred to as a bold debut novel from Merricat Mulwray, a pair of sisters out of Los Angeles.

“Sourpuss” kicks off with Mallory Wahl, a driven and generally unlikeable (but still somewhat admirable) protagonist at the height of her college track career. After an injury temporarily takes her out, Graham Patterson — whose personality begins and ends with “fraternity president” — offers to help her train and rehabilitate her knee.

Immediately taking a dislike to his character, Mallory decides to let him help her while also seducing him as part of some mysterious later-revealed plan. It’s a recipe for disaster already, but with background noise of frat boy one-liners (“We’re all for women’s sexual liberation. I know I liberate these hoes nightly” is an actual exchange) and Mallory’s admittedly sour attitude, it can only get worse from there. And it really, truly, absolutely does.

This all aligns with what I have been trying to

find in fiction — more books about college students, more books about fraternities, more books about campus climates — making it immediately appealing. And as anyone who has listened to me talk about “Heathers” or “Sharp Objects” knows, I have a hard time resisting any story that makes me go “That is so f---ed up” while continuing to consume it without hesitation. It is a relief for me to say “Sourpuss” easily falls within that category.

The project is all the more admirable when considering that there really is not much of a defined market for books about college life from the perspective of college students (the first two coming to my mind being “Let’s Talk About Love”

by Claire Kann and “Goat: A Memoir” by Brad Land). Fraternities, although also having made an appearance in the aforementioned “Goat,” are an especially challenging egg to crack.

Mosaic tries something new: An attitude of gratitude LEANNA SMITH Creative Content Editor

Between the release of Ariana Grande’s, “thank u, next” and, of course, the Thanksgiving holiday, gratitude continues to be an inescapable topic this November.

This year, instead of panicking to think of something last minute when my family went around the Thanksgiving dinner table saying what we are grateful for, I decided to commit to cultivating an attitude of gratitude for an entire week — instead of just one day.

After reading some articles and blog posts about all of the ways that gratitude can hypothetically change your life, I decided that the simplest and most popular way to cultivate gratitude would be to keep a nightly list of three things from each day that I was grateful for.

Research has shown that maintaining an attitude of gratitude is something that can have benefits beyond the holiday season. There is a demonstrated link between gratitude and improved mental health of veterans, heightened self-esteem in athletes and overall higher levels of happiness and physical health in adults.

Studies have even shown that keeping a gratitude journal leads to higher quality sleep, which is appealing to any over-caffeinated college student.

By the end of the the week, was I feeling like a bright-eyed Gwyneth Paltrow-esque lifestyle guru? Definitely not.

But, I did find that as I went about my day I was looking for things to remember to write down

later. I approached my daily tasks with a different perspective, and I actively paid attention to all of the small lucky moments that I might usually forget or take for granted.

Because of this exercise, I took the time to be thankful when a nice Honda let me merge onto the highway during rush hour, and when I spilled coffee on my way to class, but none of it got on my white sweater.

I remembered to thank my friends and family for all of the times — stressful and joyful — that they have been there for me.

And of course, I found myself including my dog, Ripley, on the list quite a few times throughout the week.

Above all else, when Thanksgiving Day rolled around, I was more prepared than ever when it was my turn to share what I am grateful for.

LEANNA SMITH/THE REVIEW I found myself being grateful for my dog, Ripley, many times throughout the week of gratitude.

the reader right into the middle of it, offering scenes of debauchery, slimy men and Mallory’s sigh-inducing hot takes (the token phrase “I don’t want to look like the other girls” in reference to looking “slutty” is, in fact, used). Even with the boldness of the scenes and characters, the book really shines in these more subtle moments with intentional and smartly integrated commentary.

Despite the fact that the characters are deliber-

ately built to be challenging and unlikeable, I found “Sourpuss” to be thoroughly entertaining. The plot and characters range from being mildly strange to borderline absurd to genuinely messed up, all while maintaining a tone of defiant self-awareness.

Mulwray does not shy away from the potential for ugliness in human nature and fully embraces the idea that maybe humans are just inherently bad. It makes for a difficult, heavy read that leads into a climax that made me think “They’re not really going to go there … they can’t go there,” before realizing they are absolutely going there.

That feeling alone makes Sourpuss worth picking up.

Sourpuss will be published on January 20, 2019.

Messages from Madrid: Thanksgiving abroad

QUINN NORRIS Staff Columnist

No matter how hard anyone tries to deny it, being in a foreign country on Thanksgiving feels slightly wrong. I have never felt a strong connection toward Thanksgiving, and I’ve always looked too critically at the first Thanksgiving story to truly enjoy the history behind it, but I found myself missing the holiday when the season rolled around.

Perhaps it was the snapchats of the Friendsgiving I was missing while in Spain, the Christmas decorations put up far too early in the city’s Plaza Mayor or some innate patriotism that is embedded in every American, but I found myself searching for the most authentic and outrageously American Thanksgiving dinner possible in Madrid.

As soon as my friends and I walked into the restaurant we chose, I thought we had nailed it. Not only could I detect the distinct smell of turkey and gravy, but, to my surprise, I could hear American accents among Spanish words.

My friends and I sat closely at the table, knocking elbows as we eagerly cut into the perfect pieces of turkey and delectable vegetables, and we could almost fool ourselves into thinking it was just like Thanksgiving at

QUINN NORRIS/THE REVIEW My friends and I enjoying Thanksgiving dinner in Madrid.

home. Sure, the turkey tasted slightly different, the vegetables were cooked differently and the sweet potato casserole had a bright pink marshmallow on top instead of a white one, but it was delicious.

While eating it I realized what was happening. The restaurant had taken our American traditions and altered them to add a Spanish flair.

Despite having set out for the most American Thanksgiving possible, I couldn’t help but begin to understand the lesson they were teaching me.

It wasn’t in the United States and the food wasn’t perfectly American, but that’s what made it so brilliant. Isn’t

that what Thanksgiving is all about? Taking the old traditions, such as the sweet potatoes, and combining them with something new, like the pink marshmallows.

It’s about taking what is already good and making it great. I saw this throughout the whole meal, from the appetizers that reminded me of tapas in the market, to the drink menu that listed sangria over wine.

Now, for me and my friends, Thanksgiving isn’t where you are — it’s who you’re with and what you make out of it. Thanksgiving in Spain taught me that we don’t have to look to the past to remember what Thanksgiving really is about, but we can create new traditions in the moment with new friends, different languages and plenty of gratitude for being able to understand one another.

Maybe these sentiments will not resonate with my friends and family from America, and hopefully they will discover it in their own time. But, even if it took me a few years, some pink marshmallows and Thanksgiving in another country to realize why Americans hold this holiday so close to their hearts, I am glad to be part of the tradition.

A belly full of thanks

NUSHI MAZUMDAR Staff Columnist

Being a preteen was hard enough with the awkwardness of puberty. But, I felt especially insecure that I was not only taller than the rest of my classmates, but chubbier, too. I was overweight mostly because of my obsession with food. Throughout much of high school, I lost a healthy amount of weight by changing my lifestyle, eating nourishing foods and occasionally exercising.

However, I suddenly gained 20 pounds during my senior year of high school when I started living solely off of bread and cheese, which was honestly worth the weight gain. I knew that it was time to live healthier and look like my old self.

Freshman year of college, I was determined to lose the 15 pounds that I had gained my senior year of high school. Especially after becoming a vegetarian, the weight seemed to come off easily, and I was finally at my goal weight of 120 pounds. However, I was still unsatisfied with my appearance; I began controlling not only what I ate but also how much I ate.

Initially, the number on the scale dwindled down significantly as I cut down how much I ate.

However, my naivete backfired since I soon began to gain weight; my body screamed against me for starving it from the magic that is food.

Oblivious to the harm I was inflicting upon my body, I continued to starve myself, which made me miserable and cranky constantly. However, I learned it’s hard to hide secrets, especially on

snacks and eating at least three meals a day, I started to overcome my eating struggles.

This Thanksgiving, I finally feel grateful for staying healthy and hope others can overcome their own eating disorders this holiday season.

Thanksgiving.

Unable to stuff down my starvation, and being extremely aware of the potent aroma of food pervading throughout the house, I could no longer hold in my hunger; I let loose my anxiety and stress regarding food on the wide array of it available on the table.

No dish was safe as I plowed my way through the cranberry sauce, stuffing and, especially, the pie.

I used to be a big eater when I was a child, so no one was really surprised when an endless barrage of food entered my mouth that night. But, finally, the constant hunger subsided, and I felt satiated and content, possibly a bit too much.

That moment I started to realize the downward spiral I was heading down. I began to eat more, but with stress from schoolwork

and occasionally skipping meals by mistake, I soon weighed 87 pounds at 5 feet 7 inches tall. Last year seemed like an endless battle that I could not seem to win.

This year, rather than focusing on losing weight, I opted to maintain a healthy and constant weight instead of travelling along the rollercoaster of weight fluctuations I had suffered throughout my life. By carrying

The taste of Thanksgiving CHRISTINE MCINTOSH Staff Reporter

Although family friends, family and selflessness are some of the main highlights of Thanksgiving, it is undeniable that food is central to the holiday. With dishes like pumpkin pie, stuffing and mashed potatoes it’s hard to choose a favorite. Several students were willing to share their thoughts on what their favorite foods are, and why those foods have become so special to them.

Marius Sander, a senior with majors in cognitive science, philosophy and German, determined that his favorite food is mashed potatoes.

“You can simulate the mouthfeel of dairy pretty well, and as a vegan I don’t get to experience that very often.”

Mashed potatoes seem to be the most popular Thanksgiving dish. Four out of the 10 people asked about their favorite dish said that potatoes were the best. Alex Molina, a sophomore three languages major, is in agreement with the 40 percent that claim mashed potatoes to be their favorite Thanksgiving food.

“I really like mashed potatoes because my mom goes ham on them. They’re always the perfect consistency. She makes them with butter. Plus, you can cover up the fact that you may not be eating other things.”

Ava Stone, a freshman undeclared major, also agrees with these two students.

“Not only can you cook it in its own dish,” Kleven says. “But if there’s room in the turkey you can put it in the turkey as well, so you can choose different stuffing.

There were some unique responses, as well.

Mosaic’s guide to surviving Thanksgiving as a vegetarian or vegan CAM A. JOHNSON Staff Reporter

It’s that time of year again — the gobble-‘til-you-wobble Thanksgiving Day. For many, it’s time for Butterball turkey, Cornish hen or pheasant, but for others, like myself, a vegetarian, well, it’s not.

As a “foodie,” I don’t particularly enjoy this time of year because most Thanksgiving Day entrees are meat-based. I find myself constantly checking labels for ingredients to avoid a meat or gelatin mishap. I stand in solidarity with my fellow vegetarians (and vegans, too) who must plow through Thanksgiving Day, eating primarily vegetables, fruits and nuts to the delight or dismay of family members.

According to PETA, gelatin is a protein that comes from boiling animal skin, tendons, ligaments or bones in water. It is usually obtained from cows or pigs.

Gelatin is used as a thickener in everyday food items, such as puddings, candies, marshmallows, cakes, ice cream and yogurts. A vegetarian or vegan alternative to animal-derived gelatin is plant gelatin. “Agar agar” is sometimes labelled as gelatin but it is derived from seaweed.

For vegetarians and vegans, this time of year may be dreadful, but have no fear: there are are a lot of options.

Below is Mosaic’s guide to surviving Thanksgiving Day as a vegetarian or vegan and, most importantly, avoiding the awkward misfortune of accidentally consuming meat.

Vegetarians

Check the labels on everything: Always check the labels on pies, cakes and cookies. While these treats may be delicious, they often have gelatin in them.

Avoid prepared greens: Never eat greens this time of year, unless, of course, they were made with you in mind. Most dishes have either a meat-based sauce, or are cooked with chicken, ham or beef.

Bring your own dish: The best way to avoid a mishap is to cook your own food! Bring a tofu turkey, yams or greens.

Inform family and friends — beforehand: Always tell your friends and family that you’re a

vegetarian or a vegan. This way, you can avoid showing up at the dinner table and watching everyone else eat, while you’re stuck with some lettuce and a potato.

Request your sweet potatoes with only butter: Yams typically have a marshmallow fluff mixed in which most likely contains animal-derived gelatin. In order to avoid consuming something derived from animal skin, tendons, ligaments or bones, just put butter on yams or, even better, cinnamon butter.

Leave the radical “Save the Animals” T-shirt at home: Do not wear a “Save the Animals” T-shirt or bring mugs with catchy plant-

loving statements. Doing this will prevent wide-eyed stares, embarrassment and hurt feelings among turkey-gobbling friends and family.

Avoid meat-related food conversations: Talk about dessert, the weather or unknown midterm grades to avoid having awkward conversations about whether vegetables have feelings.

Vegans Bring your own condiments: Vegan cheese such as Daiya, Tofutti and Green Vie can keep dishes dairy-free. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! It’s Vegan! is a great alternative to real butter.

For baked goods, apple butter

or almond butter are great alternatives to sweeteners and food additives.

Have a non-traditional Thanksgiving Day: Have a potluck with friends and family — bring tacos, pizza, french fries, potatoes! It’s okay to forego traditional Thanksgiving Day food because, at the end of the day, it’s all about giving thanks with the people you love, not eating turkey, ham, stuffing or gravy.

Use soy, almond or coconut milk: These milk alternatives will enhance your dishes’ flavor and keep the calorie and fat content relatively low. A great alternative for mac and “cheese” and sweet dishes.

Cheese it up!: If you’re a vegan who’s sick of eating only vegetables, try adding “cheese” into the equation. Vegan cheese on potatoes, broccoli or spinach really spices up vegetable dishes.

Make a meatless “meat dish”: Prepare cauliflower wings, tofu scramble or a tofurkey.

THE REVIEW

DELAWARE FALLS TO JAMES MADISON IN FIRST ROUND OF THE FCS PLAYOFFS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) After a 23-yard field goal to end the first quarter, James Madison scored on a safety by John Daka, to lead 5-0.

The Blue Hens defense was strong, not allowing a Dukes touchdown until late in the second quarter, when running back Marcus Marshall, with a little over a minute left in the second quarter, scored from four yards out to increase JMU’s lead to 12-0.

The offense ended the first half with a small spark of energy when they got their first first down by running back Andre Robinson late in the second quarter with Kehoe going on to pass to wide receiver Vinny Papale for 26 yards. On its previous six possessions of the first half, Delaware failed to pick up a first down.

However, Delaware couldn’t find the end zone going on to kick a 48-yard field goal by Jake

FIVE THOUGHTS ON DELAWARE’S 20-6 LOSS TO JAMES MADISON IN THE OPENING-ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS BRANDON HOLVECK Executive Editor

Ashworth (11) and linebacker Charles Bell (10), and safety Nasir Adderley, who James Madison Head Coach Mike Houston credited with slowing down his team’s ground attack, added seven tackles.

After DiNucci found wide receiver Jake Brown for an eightyard touchdown to cap off a 13-play 75-yard drive with 4:09 remaining in the third quarter, the defense made four stops to keep Delaware’s deficit at 14.

Delaware failed to mount much offense in its 20-6 loss to James Madison in the first round of the FCS playoffs on Saturday in Harrisonburg, VA. The Blue Hens’ season ended on a three-game losing streak with the loss.

Here are 5 observations from the game.

Delaware lost the field position battle Delaware’s average starting field position in the first half was their own 19-yard line, while James Madison began its drives at its own 44-yard line on average. Once backed up inside their own 20 (and twice inside their own 10 on consecutive drives at the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter) the Blue Hens’ offense was a shell of itself, forced into conservative play-calling given its immobile passer and lessthan-stellar field position. Rather than take chances down the field, Delaware tried to avoid turnovers and easy opportunities for James Madison.

Starting from their own sevenyard line with 12:02 left in the first half, Delaware called two runs, which didn’t gain anything, and then dropped quarterback Pat Kehoe back into its own end zone where he was sacked for a safety by James Madison defensive lineman John Daka. The play almost ended in a nine-point swing, as the Dukes, following the safety, marched to the Delaware one-yard line, but were stopped short on a Ben DiNucci quarterback sneak on fourth and goal.

But after the failed attempt, Delaware started its next drive at the one-yard line and once again, playing it close to the vest, went three-and-out.

Delaware’s six first half threeand-outs were the root cause of James Madison’s excellent starting field position, which they turned into a 12-3 halftime lead. It’s hard to climb out of an early hole against a better team.

The passing offense vanished

Kehoe completed 13 of his 32 pass attempts for 116 yards. At the end of the first half he was 2-9 for 35 yards.

Since Delaware’s 40-36 victory

COURTESY OF DELAWARE ATHLETICS Delaware prepares to take the field in Harrisonburg, VA ahead of Delaware’s playoff matchup against James Madison.

against Towson on Oct. 27, in which Kehoe threw for a career-high 305 yards, the team averaged 150 passing yards per game.

Delaware’s yards-percompletion, which at the beginning of the season was among the best in the CAA, dropped to 8.9 against James Madison and 10.9 over the last four games.

Of course Kehoe did not play most of the Villanova game, leaving in the first quarter with concussion symptoms (he was relieved by redshirt freshman Nolan Henderson and redshirt senior J.P. Caruso), and was limited in practice throughout the week.

But the passing offense over the final few games of the season, led by a Kehoe who didn’t quite look like himself, simply wasn’t enough to be a playoff contender.

Delaware’s 150-yard average over the final four games would place the team last in the CAA in passing had it been their seasonlong average. Heading into the

James Madison game, Delaware was eighth in the CAA with a season average of 202.3 passing yards per game.

Delaware never established the run In this game and in most of their contests this season, the Blue Hens failed to establish the run.

Delaware’s per-carry average of three yards entering Saturday was well below its average of just over four in 2017 and just above five in 2018. The story was no different in Harrisonburg.

Dejoun Lee got the first go at running back with Kani Kane still managing a knee injury. Lee carried 12 times for 27 yards (2.2 yards per carry). Penn State transfer Andre Robinson received six carries and gained 29 yards, mostly in long down-and-distance situations.

The lone bright spot in Delaware’s rushing attack was a 38-yard pickup

by Joe Walker on a reverse handoff.

Early in the game, James

Madison brought one of their safeties down into the box to guard against the run, with the other safety often shaded in the direction of Walker. Once the Blue Hens fell behind by two scores in the second half, they were forced to abandon the run.

The defense did all it could

Delaware’s defense rebounded from its poor showing against Villanova. Delaware held James Madison well below its 36.5 points per game average and limited the Dukes to about 100 less total yards than it had averaged over the 11-game season. For the second consecutive season, the Delaware defense kept things interesting, but the offense didn’t do nearly enough. (James Madison defeated Delaware 20-10 in Newark in 2017).

Linebacker Troy Reeder, in his final game as a Blue Hen, tallied a career-high 16 tackles. Two other Blue Hens reached double figures in tackles, defensive lineman Caleb

James Madison has national title potential The Dukes may not be as talented as they were in the past two seasons, but James Madison is one of the best teams in the country.

For the first time in three seasons James Madison did not win the CAA title. It went to a 7-1 Maine team, that because of the CAA’s 12team structure, did not have to face Delaware or James Madison.

Despite being ranked No. 6 in the latest STATS FCS Top 25 poll, James Madison was not awarded one of the top eight seeds (which come along with a first-round bye).

But the Dukes looked like a topeight team Saturday.

When the running game stalled, James Madison leaned on its quarterback, DiNucci. He led a decisive 13-play 75-yard drive with a steady dose of hitch routes and run-pass options that put the Dukes ahead by 14. When he wasn’t getting the ball out quickly, he made moves to extend plays with his legs.

The best teams in the nation can move the ball in multiple ways. It’s a unit that put 73 points on Robert Morris by scoring on 11 of its first 12 drives, 63 points on Richmond and blanked William and Mary 510. James Madison may lack the firepower that they’ve had in recent seasons, but it’s still a complete team with solid players all over — the mark of a well-established and well-coached program.

HOLVECK: DELAWARE LACKS A MUCH-NEEDED OFFENSIVE IDENTITY BRANDON HOLVECK Executive Editor At the end of last season, with his team left out of the playoffs and his offense having unraveled at Villanova, Delaware Head Coach Danny Rocco offered this thought.

“We need to define what we want to do offensively,” he said.

It applies again going into this offseason, with Delaware having made it one step further in the process of reclaiming its past glory as a national title contender, but ultimately falling short.

Delaware lost to James Madison, the gold standard of the CAA, 20-6 in the first round of the FCS playoffs on Saturday.

The appearance ended a program-record eightyear playoff drought.

The Blue Hens finished their season 7-5 and on a three-game losing streak, after winning five straight to open conference play. The final three games were marred by inconsistent defensive play, but more alarmingly completely inefficient offensive performances.

The offense failed to establish either the run or the pass Saturday against JMU, and in turn couldn’t work one off of the other. Delaware went three-and-out on its first six possessions and gained a total of nine yards on those series, largely keeping it on the ground. Once the running

depart) should Delaware open things up?

In an era dominated by quick-strike offenses and RPOs, it’s fair to wonder whether Delaware would have been better served trying to get the ball out of Kehoe’s hands quick and working playmakers like Joe Walker and Vinny Papale more in space. At times this season Delaware’s play calling felt unimaginative, especially compared to the creativity on display at other collegiate programs across the country.

But, it’s also important to note that personnel often dictates what a team can scheme up and how willing COURTESY OF DELAWARE ATHLETICS its coaches are to take chances.

to enable the coaching staff to dream up a sophisticated offensive scheme tailored to their strengths?

As Delaware embarks on an offseason of self-assessment, development and recruiting it will be important for the team to build an on-field identity for an offense that made improvements in 2018, but still lagged behind the best of the CAA and the nation.

Year-after-year James Madison wants to spread you out defensively and run the ball with a steady dose of zone read, a rotation of able running backs and a mobile quarterback.

“They just want to line up and run the ball at you and dare you to stop it,” safety Malcolm Brown said of JMU’s offensive approach before the game.

If you can stop it, as Delaware did Saturday, they pull it out and move the ball with quick-hitting RPOs, slants and hitches out of a spread formation, taking advantage when a safety drops down into the box and corners back off in coverage. They can play other ways if they need to, but the identity — a spread, run-first team — is clear.

What Delaware’s 2019 identity is, today I don’t know.

But it’s what the Blue Hens need to figure out in the next eight months, before they next take the field at Delaware Stadium.

TRADER: DELAWARE FOOTBALL TAKES A STEP BUT HAS MANY MORE TO GO HANNAH TRADER Managing Sports Editor Delaware football took a major step this season by making the playoffs, a feat they haven’t accomplished in eight years.

While the Blue Hens ended their season where they knew they could and should get to, they still have miles to go to solidify who they really are as a team.

Head Coach Danny Rocco called last season a “rebuilding year,” which made sense with it being his first year at Delaware and the team in need of many changes. This season, Delaware is graduating a large senior class, including eight defensive players — the entire secondary and three linebackers — and seven players

on offense, including go-to wide receivers Joe Walker and Vinny Papale and tight end Charles Scarff.

And although this offseason and next year may not necessarily be a rebuilding year, there will certainly be spots to fill, questions that arise and areas that need much improvement.

A consistent problem for Delaware seems to be that defense and offense are rarely on the same page, something that was obvious in its final game of the season against James Madison.

Delaware’s defense was able to hold James Madison’s crafty and creative offense — No. 1 in the CAA — to only 20 points, giving the Blue Hens comfortable room to make a play and get a touchdown, something that wasn’t seen once in

their final game.

“You come down here and keep the game in the low 20s, you like to think you have an opportunity to win,” Rocco said in the JMU postgame press conference. “But I felt that their defense was certainly up to the task today.”

Going into next season it’s obvious that a high priority during the offseason will be basically remaking the offense to continue to shift into the higher standards Delaware football is holding themselves too.

Delaware’s defense had games where they fell short as well such as the Blue Hens’ comeback 40-36 win against Towson and their 4221 loss against Villanova where defensive stops couldn’t be made.

In those games, while the offense

still had their glitches, they came out and did their job compared to their lack of showing up against JMU — concurrency being absent among the defense and offense.

Delaware went into the playoffs coming off of a two-game losing streak after winning five straight CAA games. They made it with a 7-4 record — a record that never guarantees a playoff spot and also the same record that Delaware finished with last season when they missed out on the playoffs. They got to where they should have, but not with flying colors.

It’s easy for me to ramble off improvements that need to be made and questions that I, and many others, may have. And although there are concerns and

wonders, Delaware did and is making strides and they made a great one this year.

This offseason should be filled with recruiting, changes and excitement — specifically gaining a clear offensive picture along with the mentality of bettering their record and continuing playoff appearances.

The Blue Hens have the opportunity to make all of that happen now.

DELAWARE SET TO BEGIN $60 MILLION ATHLETICS RENOVATIONS HANNAH TRADER Managing Sports Editor In November 2017, the university announced that it would be renovating Delaware Stadium. Now, in the fall of 2018, construction is set to start.

The $60 million Build Our Home fundraising initiative is a part of the Delaware First Campaign which raises funds for research, facilities, learning and athletics at Delaware. Renovations will begin following the end of the Blue Hens 2018 football season. The university provided $25 million and the Athletics Department had to raise the remaining $35 million.

With just $3 million dollars left to raise, Delaware got the go ahead to start the process.

Delaware Stadium will first see renovations to its West stands — home side — including improved seating, club level seating and club room and an improved press box for the media and coaches.

Sections C, D and E in the West stands will also have seat bottoms and backs. Right now, the stadium is all bleacher seating.

The money raised will also go to modernizing the stadium’s concession stands and bathrooms.

However, Chrissi Rawak, Delaware’s athletic director, told the News Journal that the “pee wall” — a Delaware famous wall in which men urinate and water runs in from the pipes above — will remain in the southwest corner men’s bathroom in some way due to the strong opinions from Blue Hens fans to maintain it.

The club seating will be the first eight rows in the West stands and have a club room accessible from the stadium that, although the field will not be visible, will have televisions and a bar.

The renovations to the West side seating should be completed by the football team’s 2019 home opener against Delaware State on Aug. 29. The updated press box will

be accessible, but not completely finished.

Along with renovations to the stadium, a new athletic center will be built named the Whitney Athletic Center. The center is named for the 1980 graduate, former Delaware golfer and Board of Trustees member, Ken Whitney and his wife Elizabeth K. Whitney.

The Whitneys donated $10 million to the Build Our Home fundraising initiative.

The new athletic center will have a student center with academic support including tutoring, advisement and study spaces. The idea is to save athletes the time of running around campus between practices and training and have everything they need in one complex.

The center will also have a health and wellbeing center including a 10,000 square foot strength and conditioning space so multiple student athletes and teams can work out at once.

In addition, sports psychology resources will be held in the athletic center to provide counseling and team education sessions on mental health.

After this phase of the project is complete, Delaware will shift its focus to enhancing the Delaware Field House and the seating in the East stands — visitor’s side — as well as the seating in the end zones.

Delaware Stadium opened Nov. 15, 1952 and its last major enhancement was in 1975 — minor seating improvements were made in 1993. Needless to say many of these renovations are long overdue and will be highly anticipated by fans, the media, coaches and players alike continuing the momentum and excitement behind Delaware Athletics right now.

Last-minute financial holds prevent seniors from registering for classes BIANCA THIRUCHITTAMPALAM Column Editor

A

few days shy of registration, Daniel Schmidt logged on to his UDSIS account, only to find an account hold waiting for him. This hold, placed

by Student Financial Services, prevents Schmidt from registering for his classes for the spring 2019 semester.

Schmidt, a senior who is majoring in chemical engineering, is not the only one affected by this problem. Within the past few weeks, countless seniors at the university have been struck with holds just a few days prior to their registration appointments, preventing them from creating their schedules on time.

“This is a huge problem because I am going into my last semester of college,” Schmidt says. “I am trying to complete a minor and for my major, [there] are really popular classes that fill up quickly.”

In Schmidt’s case, his hold was placed due to an incomplete federal loan training. According to Schmidt, the account hold was issued half a day prior to his registration appointment.

However, once Schmidt realized the problem and completed his loan training, the hold mysteriously stayed in place.

After taking up the issue with Student Financial Services — a process that he found lengthy and exhausting — Schmidt learned that his loan training had been complete. However, there was a lag in the system.

“There’s a lag between the notification and the tuition payment and there’s a third lag between the tuition payment and the hold being removed,” Schmidt says. “I believe at least two of those steps are manual steps where someone has to actually

SAM FORD/THE REVIEW Dealing with university services, like Student Financial Services, can hinder more than help enter it.”

For Michaela Knight, a junior who is majoring in human services, the experience with Student Financial Services was less successful: Knight ended up being three days late for her registration appointment.

In Knight’s case, a Parent Plus Loan was never credited, resulting in a hold on her account. Knight emailed, called and visited Student Financial Services in person, and it was only after her second in-person visit that she received help with her situation.

“I basically explained that we’ve been having really tight

finances lately,” Knight says.

“They were able to credit a thousand dollars for that which is really nice. With that, we were able to pay off part of the amount we owed.”

Schmidt and Knight were not the only students to face issues with holds blocking their registration: Danielle Dargis, a senior majoring pre-veterinary medicine and animal biosciences, encountered a similar situation when a hold was placed on her account due to incomplete “To Do” tasks on her UDSIS account.

Dargis faced difficulties gaining access to the documents she

needed to complete, but was able to finish her “To Do” tasks

by Nov. 4, three days before her registration appointment.

“I was hoping that it would be reviewed quickly,” Dargis wrote in an email. “However, when my registration date arrived, I was still blocked by Student Financial Services.”

Like Knight and Schmidt, Dargis faced difficulties getting in contact with Student Financial Services.

“I went to the Student Services building around 10 a.m. on Nov. 7,” Dargis says. “I was hoping to talk to someone in

person to see if my registration could be temporarily unblocked.

After about an hour’s wait, I had to leave and lost my place in line.

I then called Student Services around 1 p.m., an hour after my scheduled registration time. I was placed on hold behind about 113 people and waited on the phone for 40 minutes until they disconnected me.”

Eventually, Dargis was placed in contact with an adviser, who was able to temporarily lift her block so that she could complete her registration. Dargis believes that Student Financial Services failed to handle this issue in an efficient way, and describes the situation as a “frustrating ordeal.”

Student Financial Services has not yet commented on this issue.

Each student’s account emphasizes the poor customer support that they received at Student Financial Services. Knight believes that this is a major problem with the department, and that it could be amended by hiring more staff and “showing more care and concern for students.”

“At this point, there is so much miscommunication,” Knight says.

“They’re very quick to send a bill and tell us that we owe money, but they won’t help students get their loans processed.”

The race to register: Delaware student struggles reflect a national trend SHREYA GADDIPATI Staff Reporter

W

ith course registration occurring throughout the week, students at the university wait anxiously to sign up for courses next semester, many of them unaware of what classes they should take to fulfill major requirements.

According to a study done by Complete College America, only 20 percent of students in America pursuing four-year bachelor’s degrees complete them on time.

At the university, it seems as though course registration is a race and whether or not students graduate on time is dependent on the circumstances.

“Some students in the same year will be able to register almost a week before you which is a major disadvantage because the classes you need will most likely be filled,” Shamael Khan, a senior education major, said.

“When it comes to preparation

for registration, there is little to no guidance on what classes are needed to be taken from advisors, so you just have to figure it out on your own.”

The order in which students register for courses is largely dependent on previous credit count — this allows students with more credits from previous semesters or AP credits from high school to register before their peers.

Senior psychology major Lauren Hopkins’ experience echoed Khan’s sentiments.

“Freshman year was the only year I had help [registering for classes] … it would have been nice to have some more advice on it because I was kind of floundering,” Hopkins said.

Some new students at the university do not seem aware of basic requirements of their major.

Hopkins herself was unaware of the degree audit, a system on UDSIS that allows students to look up all of the requirements for their major.

Whether or not requirements needed for graduation are met also depends on the major itself.

The communications major is notoriously competitive — as students apply two years into their college career, and only the top 125 ranked students are accepted Many students entering the university intending to be communications majors are unaware of the program’s competitiveness and the possibility that they may not be able to enroll in it. “[It’s] kind of ironic [that the communications major] is bad at communicating” said Grace Otley, a sophomore communication and French dual major.

When students come to the university intent of becoming a communications major, they may not be aware of the process they are getting into. Before students truly gain admission into the major in their sophomore year, they are labeled as “communications interest” and select classes that will help them gain “quality

points” in order to make it into the top 125 ranked students who also hope to receive admission all of whom then become official communications majors.

If students fail to make gain admission into this major, a process they may not have know about when first enrolling at the university, they must scramble to find another major or add on another semester in order to take classes offered at select times of the year.

“You can’t transfer in or out with this system,” Kerigan Butt, a political science and communication double major, said of the quality points system unique to communication majors.

“The entire experience has been negative, especially because the people that are supposed to guide you don’t do the best job at it,” Khan said about course registration. “[The university’s] advisors [should be] better trained to actually aid the students instead of them having to figure it out on their own.”

According to Student

Government Association (SGA) president Kevin Peterson, the organization has been working with the administration to address the quality of the advisement system, specifically within the College of Arts and Sciences.

Most recently, they were involved in helping to create the new advisement website.

The situation at the university reflects the confusion of college students nationwide, as the Department of Education reported that in 2006 only 59 percent of students who started at 4-year public institutions — like the university — were able to graduate by 2012. A report

by Complete College America reflected on the matter by stating“ ...something is clearly wrong when the overwhelming majority of public colleges graduate less than 50 percent of their full-time students in four years.”

University to close Chinese Students and Scholars Association Christiana Towers at end president talks transition to American of academic year university, international student culture JACOB BAUMGART Senior Reporter

ith a population of 2.67 million, pollution is thick in Zhenjiang, China so the air quality and clearer skies were the first things Yihang Jiang noticed when he arrived in the United States.

“I have never seen that clear blue sky in China,” said Jiang, the president of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association at University of Delaware (CSSAUD).

“I [could] see the sunshine hidden behind the smog.”

Jiang, a class of 2018 graduate and master’s student who studies statistics, is one of more than 2,000 Chinese students on campus, who account for 64 percent of the international student population.

From fall of 2013 to fall of 2017, the Chinese student population rose by 19 percent, while the total number of international students declined by nearly 300.

This unique number of Chinese students on campus help create an extensive Chinese social circle, preserving their culture in a different country.

According to South China Morning Post, many Chinese students come to America because the difficulty of China’s college entrance exam renders American universities more accessible than their Chinese counterparts.

The entrance exam, called the “gaokao,” is considered one of the toughest in the world.

After the completion of the gaokao, scores are ranked into three tiers. Those who score in the top tier can attend the premier universities in China, and students who reach the middle tier can go to lower level colleges in the country.

People who score in the bottom tier are relegated to going to trade school and have trouble finding work at high-end companies, according to Jiang.

“Here, if you go to a technical college, we don’t think you are not as good as other university students, but in China we have an adverse hierarchy, so if you went to a third level technical school, the parents will be very disappointed, and they don’t think you can have success in the future,” Jiang said.

“In China, there are not many ways to be successful. To be successful means earn more money, as much money as you can earn, but here, I think in America, you can be successful in multiple ways.”

Jiang said he decided to come to school in the U.S. to avoid the competitive and stressful process of university admission in China.

CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

A year of studying at the university’s English Language Institute (ELI) followed Jiang’s arrival in America, which is common for many international students.

The ELI offers multiple programs for non-native English speakers to acclimate them to university life and culture in the United States. The university does not require all non-native English speakers to participate in ELI programs, however. The ELI’s most common program is the seven- to eight-week long Intensive English Program which focuses solely on improving students’ language skills.

Another common program at the ELI is Academic Transitions (AT).

Students who earn acceptance to the university with the condition that they improve their English enroll in this program and can earn up to 27 credits.

This program varies in length from four to 26 months, depending on the student’s English proficiency upon their conditional admission.

Though the range in completion time is large, most students in AT enter with intermediate skill and need about a year to finish the program.

AT also advertises to Chinese high schoolers who hope to start their American college experience a year early. Because the structure of the Chinese high school system focuses on preparing its students to take the gaokao, students who plan to attend the university, and thereby do not need to to take the gaokao, can apply to AT in their 11th-grade year and start the program as a 12th grader. “[Studying at the ELI] is very great program for us to know the American culture, to enroll in the American life and to study the difference between multiple cultures,” Jiang said. “I [met] students from Korea, from Japan, from Saudi Arabia, from Spain … so I love this year-long language program.”

Though the ELI teaches all English learners, the university also has resources geared toward Chinese culture specifically, including the Confucius Institute.

The institute, which the university established in partnership with China’s Xiamen University, promotes Chinese language and culture, facilitates educational opportunities and organizes exchange programs.

Jiang’s organization, the CSSAUD, also gives Chinese students a slice of their culture while they are in the United States by throwing cultural parties, galas

and social events.

“Our goal is to help Chinese students have a better life and study here in America,” Jiang said. “We will enhance their entertainment life and advertise the Chinese traditional culture and help all those students when they are facing cultural troubles.”

Jiang also said the CSSAUD advertises the university to other Chinese students in hopes of growing the number of students from China.

All of these resources and networking opportunities that Chinese students have at the university allow them to remain a closely knit bunch.

Jiang said he believes many Chinese students remain in Chinese social circles because of the common background of the group.

“We can use Chinese language to say something that Americans don’t know, so it makes us free to talk about anything in Chinese language, so I think I feel more freedom here,” Jiang said.

Before he came to the United States, Jiang’s parents pushed him to find American friends to help him experience the local culture, but he said this was too hard to accomplish.

“How could you come here with your own [people] and make friends with an American when you two don’t have a similar background?” Jiang said. “You cannot understand each other quite well … Some of the Chinese students here actually make a lot of American friends, but, from my opinion, I don’t think they are deeply the truly good friends … If you want to make a true friend, the real, good friends, most of the chance for Chinese students is to find the friends from the same country … We are not born here, we just study here.”

Because of resources such as the Confucius Institute and CSSAUD, it is easy for Chinese students to preserve their culture and social circles while they attend school here.

Altogether, the blend between cultural familiarity and experimentation gives Chinese students a wide worldview, Jiang said.

“I think our eyes are more open,” Jiang said. “We can see the differences in the world, like how Americans live, how Chinese people live. We now have the opportunity to choose our own life, to choose how our future will be after we have seen those kind of opportunities here.”

preference for apartment-style living.

The university absorbed the University Courtyards earlier this year, but there is a disparity in regards to capacity.The Courtyards only have a living capacity of about 880 people, while the Towers housed upwards of 1200.

In an email sent out to students that had already completed their housing assignment but had indicated a preference to live in apartment-style housing, the university expressed that efforts are being made to rectify the issue at hand.

The email also stated the $200 deposit would be refunded to all who had been committed to the Towers as their living space for the next academic year, and that Residence Life has been “working with local property managers with confirmed availability” in an attempt to straighten out the issue of student displacement.

Taylor Jefferson sat studying in the Christiana Commons with sophomores Maggie Ford and Amelia Dorfe, who currently live in the Towers. Jefferson said she was furious when she saw the email that was sent out to the students and parents who had signed a housing contract and planned on the Towers remaining open.

“I was planning to live on campus because I get a grant for living in state,” Jefferson said. “These are the only options for apartment-style residence halls. I didn’t want the meal. In the email they said they’d refund but $200, but that’s not gonna pay for an $1000 a month place off campus.”

Jefferson said she liked living in the Towers, and saw them as a good halfway point between residence halls and off-campus housing. She said the university should have notified students beforehand, including on the application for the Towers last year that the residence hall would be closing.

Ricky Haigh is a sophomore and current Towers resident as well, but he said he’s not surprised the university is finally closing the Towers. Haigh said his room has already been visited by facility repairmen three times this year due to problems, as the outlets, lighting and blinds regularly break.

“They should be closing,” Haigh said. “I had heard the rumors, I just didn’t realize it was this year. I’m trying to get a house off-campus for next year.”

Maggie Ford a sophomore told her friend Jefferson not to worry — the university bought the Courtyards, and Jefferson could get a place there.

As previously mentioned there is a gap between the capacities of the two complexes, and Ford doesn’t know what some students are going to do for housing.

It is already past the deadline to sign leases for many off campus houses, the Newark student housing market being so competitive that properties are often filled up by September.

The university made waves this September by announcing that the

Courtyard Apartments would be acquired to replace the Towers earlier than expected — breaking with a 30year financing contract with the city council. Alan Brangman, the executive vice president and treasurer who led the acquisition of the Courtyards, said in September that he will step down early in 2019, a message that came ten days after the announcement that the Towers would be closing and the Courtyards would replace them.

At this time, the university has not announced a replacement for Brangman, who is staying around to help the university “transition leadership.”

Amelia Durfee said she was not planning on living in the Towers next year, and understands why the university is closing the Towers. Some people’s parents have stories of living in the Towers from fifty years ago, she said.

“I think they [the Towers] need to be redone, there’s been a lot of issues,” she said. “But they didn’t time it right. People needed the option [for housing]. What are they going to do, rent out the Courtyard Marriott?”

Indigenous rights speaker warns of worldwide trends

KEVIN TRAVERS Senior Reporter

R

estlessly, students sat through an anthropology lecture Thursday, Nov. 8, in Willard Hall. While online shopping and browsing social media, students nearly missed the opportunity to meet Paloma Arroyo — a representative from an organization called Saphichay that is fighting for the protection of indigenous culture. As the world is slipping into the commodification of all things, people like Arroyo are working to stem the tide of gentrification.

“When I grew up in New York, everyone thought indigenous people were already gone, no one knew they were still around,” Arroyo said.

“Kids today, when asked what it means to be indigenous, answer it means you’re poor, uneducated; it means you smell.”

Arroyo fights against these preconceptions.

She was welcomed as a guest speaker in a cultural anthropology class to cover her personal work protecting indigenous groups in Peru. She works for Saphichay — an indigenous rights organization intent on protecting biodiversity and food sovereignty through the education of native languages.

After the multimedia presentation, Arroyo answered questions from the crowd.

Senior Melissa Postlewaite asked a question about the conflict of teaching culture when there might not be enough time to

teach math and other subjects as well.

“In some schools, there is only so much time to teach certain subjects,” Postlewaite said.

“How important is teaching culture, and if you had to choose between teaching culture or math, how would you react?”

In answering, Arroyo took the opportunity to talk about Talpunanchucnam, a Saphicayfunded school project in Junín, Peru. Saphicay advocates for the protection of indigenous culture wherever possible and the best way to ensure protection is by educating the next generation.

“Luckily, we don’t have to choose — they can take both,” Arroyo said. ”We have a holistic view of how things relate to each other, culture does not just relate to an hour and half of class.”

Arroyo said the Talpunanchucnam school is a revitalization project for the Quechua language. The teaching goes beyond middle school Spanish classes; an entire way of living is being passed down.

The school currently teaches the first generation of written speakers of the language, which acts as a gateway to traditional knowledge through a shared oral history.

Some parents resist teaching indigenous languages and culture, as the stigma of speaking an indigenous nonSpanish language in Peru is high. For example, Arroyo noted that even though 60 percent of people in the Junín region identify Quechua as their native language, only

six percent feel comfortable speaking the language in or out of the home due to its negative connotations.

This loss of the language breeds a loss of the philosophical and agricultural aspects of the culture.

Through the school, traditional farming techniques are being retaught, combating the aggressive agrocontamination of the district.

Arroyo said the overuse of agricultural farming chemicals poison even small backyard gardens in Peru. Saphichay works to reverse this trend and remove the negative perception that eating indigenous food sourced locally is a sign of poverty.

“We do a lot of unlearning this,” Arroyo said. “It’s a decolonization of the mind.”

Postlewaite, the student who had asked about teaching culture, said that she learned a lot from the lecture, and had learned from asking a more controversial question.

She said she previously didn’t have any idea there were so many indigenous people in Peru, but she couldn’t understand the negative stigma against those cultures.

Professor Vikramaditya Thakur teaches the class in which Arroyo was a guest, and posed this question: “How does globalization affect your generation, and what changes have global forces caused in the last 10 years?”

Arroyo responded by talking about the indigenous rapid response network.

Across the U.S., people have

reacted to President Trump’s anti-immigration policies by creating phone trees to help undocumented immigrants escape Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) raids.

Arroyo said she and others are a part of similar networks of people to help protect indigenous people in South America.

She said across South America, similar struggles are underway as indigenous groups fight to protect natural resources from international corporations.

Along the Brazil-Peru border, under the new condition of the recent election of Brazil’s far-right presidentelect Jair Bolsonaro, indigenous peoples are facing new threats.

Bolsonaro, in a blizzard of statements in the past, has painted himself as a near-fascist figure. He supports torture, dictatorship, military coups and plans on privatizing the entirety of protected indigenous lands in the Amazon rainforest for corporate gain.

“There will not be a centimeter demarcated for indigenous or quilombo reservations,” he said on April 3, 2017, in a speech at a sports club in Rio de Janeiro, as reported by left-leaning “Congress in Focus” Brazilian newspaper.

“Bolsonaro is declaring a genocide on the Amazonian people,” Arroyo said. “It will impact the world — we are losing our main source of oxygen.”

In response to this new wave of genocidal acts, Arroyo said champions of indigenous

or environmental rights have to work even harder. She wants to expand international resistance to corporate and government abuses; Arroyo said she encourages those in the U.S. to protest in solidarity and call their representatives and the companies that overstep their rights.

“It’s a very frightening time, we are already in a climate crisis and there’s a lot of treaties [protecting land] that were lost,” Arroyo said. “[Bolsonaro] believes the government is in a clean slate and that the government owes nothing to the people. Neoliberal governments are dangerous to the people and to the environment.”

Students react to the Midterm migrant madness

KEVIN TRAVERS Senior Reporter

W

ith only days until elections, the U.S. President Donald Trump drove hard on Mexican border immigration. In the two years since the inauguration, the rallying chant “Build that wall” has failed to materialize a single brick, yet voters remain divided.

Trump, leading up to the Midterms, hit the same antimigration note harder than ever to whip up votes. But even a day after elections, the caravans were gone from the news.

Student feelings about the issue are mixed.

“I think he’s trying to send a message, he isn’t playing around with this immigration rule, you’re either on the Trump team or you will lose the elections,” Alexa Adams, the College Democrats’ director of communication, said.

“He says he is putting American interests first when he gets tough on immigration policies, but he is actually going against American values.”

In the face of this midfall blizzard of polarization and sensationalism, university students have struggled to react.

The volatile political climate forms the proving ground for student organizations, whom in reaction voiced concern and confusion, yet hope for positive change.

Adams said her organization generally attempts to push past merely reacting to Trump’s tweets and policies. Members discuss the issues they disagree with, whether it be immigration policy or the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court appointment, rather than announce what Trump has done to “mess up the world” that week,

Adams said.

As Midterms came and went, migrants approached the U.S. southern border with Mexico.

Now more than 1,500 miles away, a caravan group of an estimated 5,000 South Americans is marching steadily towards the border city Tijuana, just south of San Diego. When visualized on a map; it can be seen that the caravan is well over 20 days away by foot if no time is taken to stop and rest.

Though still weeks away, Trump ramped up his assaults on these immigrant asylum seekers.

Trump has focused much of his presidential work on polarizing the immigration issue to rally his base voters in support of the GOP, with some success.

Casey Moore, a senior at the university, spoke on behalf of No Generation Left Behind, a refugee and asylum seeking advocacy group on campus. Though not dealing directly with the current U.S. Mexican Border migrant issue, Moore said that the Trump administration’s Muslim travel ban policy from 2017 halted their ability to advocate for Syrian refugees. Moore said her organization sides with the migrant caravans, as they too are trying to escape violence and find a better life.

In a statement two weeks ago, Trump announced plans to station over 5,000 U.S. military troops along the border, intended to stem the wave of migration he sees as dangerous, calling the incoming caravan an “invasion.”

Trump, on Halloween, announced a decision to deploy anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 more troops along the border — a force reported by ABC News to be three

times the amount of soldiers currently stationed in the Iraq war zone.

In response to the troop movement, Moore said it was more fear tactics, Trump “flexing his muscles.” Moore noted that the United States has signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states everyone has the right to travel and to seek asylum. She said the current administration does not uphold this ideal, and instead uses fear tactics to scare people into voting pro-Trump.

“It’s interesting the way politics are changing,” Moore said. “Jeff Sessions has limited those who can apply [for asylum].

The limit for asylums seekers was at 110,00 individuals, but now with Trump it is down to 30,000.

And we’re not even letting in that many, that’s just the limit.”

Moore said attempts at passing bipartisan immigration legislation have failed in the past.

Sen. Chris Coons and the late Sen. John McCain had attempted to work across the aisle this past spring with immigration reform, but were not able to find the votes.

Now, the current administration is using fear tactics to rally its own base, Moore said.

Last week, in an interview with Axios, Trump talked about his plans to change the birthright clause of U.S. citizenship via executive order, stopping the possibility of “anchor babies.”

Adams responded to Trump’s executive order plans. Adams said the College Democrats are opposed to the removal of the birthright clause, and Adams sees it as another way to deport children and separate them from their families.

“These children are not

people who have done badly for our country,” Adams said. “He [Trump] sees them as a threat, but they could help the economy and the country by staying here.

Trump blames a lot of what has happened, from crime to gun violence on immigration, but I do not agree with that.”

Julia Moch, a daughter of Polish immigrants and a sophomore at the university, said she would not be affected by Trump’s potential executive order, but sides with immigrant families that would be hurt by a removal of the birthright clause.

“I can’t imagine how this would change the lives of so many families that came here to try to better their lives,” she said.

“Personally I dont think its fair, if you’re born on American soil you are an American citizen, just like so many other countries. It’s just going to alienate us from the rest of the world and make us more unwelcoming.”

According to the World Atlas, over 30 countries offer birthright citizenship, many of which are prominent Western nations such as Canada.

Army ROTC takes first place in gruelling Ranger Challenge MEAGAN MCKINLEY Senior Reporter

B

eing in the military is difficult.

Serving your country takes a certain kind of dedication and both inner and outer strength that not everyone has.

Then there’s the difficulty of being a full time college student while being in the military. The university has both Army and Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), a four-year program for college students to go on to serve as officers in the military.

And still, some ROTC members choose to participate in Ranger Challenge. Described by the U.S. Army Cadet Command as the varsity sport of Army ROTC, the challenge is a two-day tactical and physical competition testing the units from different colleges and universities in each brigade, the regional collection of schools that make up a larger unit. Each school’s unit competes against the others in 15 events that range from written navigation tests to marksmanship and a physical fitness test.

On Oct. 21, the Fightin’ Blue Hen Battalion ROTC team won the 4th Brigade Ranger Challenge.

The team is comprised of fourteen members, including three who attend Wilmington University.

Only eleven compete for each unit.

Three serve as alternates, usually the younger or newer members of the team, in case someone is injured or unable to continue.

Four members of the university’s team, including captain Claudia Bacon, are seniors. Two juniors, five sophomores and three freshmen make up the rest of the team.

Some of the cadets, including Bacon and seniors Pat Thomas and Matt Daniels, knew what to expect in the competition after competing in previous years.

This is Bacon’s third year on the team. She did not compete her freshman year, 2015, the year the university’s team won for the first time in the battalion’s history.

“We kind of knew what to expect from last year, but we also had a lot of new people on the team this year,” Bacon told Cadet Command said after the competition. Seven members

of the roster were new to the team. “We had a whole tactical schedule this year because last year we were used to a physical competition — we came very physically prepared and not as tactically prepared. This year, we knew we needed to up it on tactics, so that was our main focus while we kept the physical aspect as well.”

While normal ROTC cadets participate in daily physical training and typically once-perweek tactical training, the Ranger Challenge team adds additional conditioning to already-early morning routines. They spend more time with 35-plus pound rucksacks, as well as incorporate liftingand endurance-based work into their training. As for the tactical side, they go more depth with medical and firearms training. A freshman cadet may only learn to assemble an M16 rifle once in their first semester.

Ranger Challenge cadets are timed; oh, and they have to learn to shoot the weapon. And that land navigation most cadets dread — Ranger Challenge cadets do the course in the dark. It’s as

Analysis: How Delaware will be affected by climate change, according to recent report JACOB WASSERMAN Senior Reporter

O

n Black Friday, a day that is notorious for negative news dumps meant to avoid coverage, the U.S. h government released the second rvolume of the 2018 National .Climate Assessment. It is the fourth iteration of the report pand this volume is focused on ethe specific impacts and risks of sclimate change to the U.S. n The report comes a mere two days after President Donald tTrump tweeted his long-held gdoubt that climate change is a sreal thing, let alone impacted by lhumans. p Though the report was written long before that tweet was sent, it makes it clear that the evidence opoints to climate change being saffected by human activity. It also makes the distinction between weather and climate. Weather srefers to conditions over a short yperiod of time (e.g. a record cold eThanksgiving), while climate drefers to weather in a certain area over a long period of time. n “The impacts of global climate change are already being felt in the United States oand are projected to intensify ein the future — but the severity of future impacts will depend largely on actions taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the changes that will occur,” the report said.

Compiling such a vast amount of scientific research on all of the risks and negative effects of climate change was surely done, in part, to motivate urgent action to limit it.

The report breaks down the climate change impacts on several different regions of the country. Delaware falls into the report’s “northeast” category, in addition to being a coastal state.

The first risk that the report gives for the northeastern region is how an altered cycle of seasons (e.g. milder winters and earlier springs) affects rural economies and ecosystems.

That is something that would very severely affect southern Delaware’s agricultural industry.

The next risk of climate change, which is for coastal states especially, amplified by the fact that Delaware is the lowest lying state in the country, is the changes to coastal habitats, ecosystem services and livelihoods.

Delaware relies on the economic benefit from its beach real estate and tourism industries, and that loss would be devastating to the state’s economy. For instance, according to the report, by the year 2100, New Jersey and Delaware together can lose more than $30 billion just in lower property values.

The report then examines the effects on human health of climate change. Higher temperatures and air pollution, among other things, can lead to a large array of new illnesses and other health risks that are not as much of an issue now.

The report estimates that the temperature of the northeastern U.S. will increase between 4 and 5.1 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050.

Further, it estimates around 650 more excess deaths per year, also by 2050 as a result of the raised temperatures. To again show the difference between weather and climate, a rise of 5 degrees in a single day’s weather is really no big deal, but such a rise in the region’s climate, is a very big deal to its natural cycles, to say the least.

This report is a very clear display of the two sides of a presidential administration: the more vocal, political side and less-vocal, nitty-gritty apparatus of career employees of the federal government. The two are not completely separated, as seen with the manner in which this

report was announced.

Some of the authors and editors of this report have expressed their displeasure on how their report was distributed, but maintained that the White House had no say in or effect on the content of the report.

Former Vice President Al Gore, a long-time advocate for the fight against climate change, made clear his opposition to the manner of the report’s dissemination.

“Unbelievably deadly and tragic wildfires rage in the west, hurricanes batter our coasts — and the Trump administration chooses the Friday after Thanksgiving to try and bury this critical U.S. assessment of the climate crisis,” he said in a statement. “The President may try to hide the truth, but his own scientists and experts have made it as stark and clear as possible.”

awful as it sounds.

“Being new to campus and new joining the team all right away was definitely a tough transition, but everyone on the team made it a lot easier especially with the family environment that was created,” first year cadet Jake Campbell said. Campbell was the only freshman to compete; the other two — Paul Giesing and Celena DeLara — served as alternates.

With their victory, the Fightin’ Blue Hen Battalion goes on to compete in the national challenge, representing the 4th Brigade at the Sandhurst Military Skills Competition. Sandhurst is held in April at West Point Military Academy, and among the 64 competitors are service academies and international teams.

“The team’s confidence going into the competition was contagious so I felt they had a good shot of being in the top tier,” Army Capt. Philip Dowd said. He traveled with the team to the competition and oversaw part of their training. “Throughout the competition I could tell they were

5

doing really well, they stayed focused and worked as a team.

Everyone contributed! I was extremely proud when they won.

It was very cool to be a part of and to see months of hard work pay off.”

The university University student found gets a Lyft SHREYA GADDIPATI Staff Reporter

W

ith the Navy-Delaware basketball game right around the corner on Dec. 5, university students are scrambling to find a ride to the game and support their home team.

Typically students may consider consider taking campusprovided transportation in the form of buses, but Delaware Athletics has made a partnership with Lyft, an on-demand transportation company, that will allow students a much more convenient option to get to the game.

According to information provided by Lyft spokesperson, Tayah Price, with this new agreement, Lyft has become the “official rideshare partner of Delaware athletics.” Available at all university football games in the Delaware Stadium as well as the Bob Carpenter Center, Lyft provides pick-up and drop-off locations throughout campus to maximize student convenience.

Shuttle bus transportation was first offered at the university in 2008 as a way to ease travel to university football games. Now, the university is keeping up with the times by participating in the modern trend of ride-sharing.

Lyft’s success in the U.S. within the past few years exemplifies how its services appeal to modern consumers, as shown by how Lyft was able to grow into a billiondollar industry in less than 10 years.

In order to use Lyft, students must download the app. New users can use the code “GOHENS” to get $5 off four rides.

guilty on one count of fourthdegree rape

ALEXIS CAREL Senior Reporter

U

niversity student Jason Kramer was sentenced to two years in prison for one count of fourth-degree rape.

Kramer committed the crime in April 2017 in Louis Redding Hall, and he was charged in May that year.

The encounter began with the victim clearly stating that she would meet with him to “hook up,” which she defined as “kissing only,” and later led to possible charges of rape, strangulation and forced oral sex. The victim was examined at Christiana Hospital for sexual assault and presented bruises from the attack.

Evidence from text messages the two exchanged showed Kramer defended himself by saying he had no memory of the encounter. However, the victim requested to meet in person to discuss the events of that night, which he agreed to. She recorded their conversation, where Kramer admitted he took advantage of her and apologized, although he asserted that he still did not remember the events.

In May, university police obtained a recorded call between Kramer and the victim, where he apologized again for taking advantage of her.

When Kramer’s guilty plea was first announced to the public last August, he was facing up to fifteen years in prison with no minimum sentence required.

His bail was revoked at the end of August, and he was banned from the university apart from an opportunity to meet with the dean of students.

Kramer was sentenced earlier this month to two years in prison. As a part of his guilty plea, additional rape charges and a strangulation charge were dropped. Fourth degree rape in Delaware, a class C felony, is classified as an individual that intentionally engages in sex without the victim’s consent.

Opinion: Response to Morris Library article

D

ear Mr. Owens, One of the foundations of librarianship is showing others how to find authoritative sources. In the case of the poster in the entryway of Morris Library that illustrated the historical timeline of the Library, we relied on a singular primary source for one of the captions.

By not performing due diligence in researching the full story, we chose a word that connotes more than the facts allow. We regret using the word “fought” on the poster and do not want in any way to minimize what Louis Redding, students and others did to desegregate our campus.

We immediately removed the poster from the entryway after reading the article and will edit the timeline caption.

While in the university archives earlier this year, we viewed a letter dated Aug. 14, 1950, from Hugh Morris, in his role as chair of the Board of Trustees of the university, to acting President Allen Colburn, and heard, in a broader context, the story of Delaware’s courtordered desegregation.

The letter referenced Parker et al. v. University of Delaware et al., in which the trustees of

the university violated the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution.

Morris informed Colburn, “You will, of course, see to it that the law ... is observed by the university both to the letter and in its spirit.”

But, as we now know through further research, until this ruling, the Board of Trustees was a barrier to the implementation of desegregation on campus. With this letter, Morris simply ordered compliance with the law. The correspondence between Morris and Louis Redding on behalf of students, noted in The Review article, was the communication conduit to and from the Board of Trustees at the university.

I am pleased to see the kind of research you put into The Review article and hope to have further conversations with you, the university archives and others on how we may shed more light on the desegregation story in our institutional history.

Caleb’s Corner: Can climate change ignite the next student protest movement?

Biweekly liberal ramblings from the Editor in Chief of your only student newspaper.

CALEB OWENS Editor in Chief

S

hortly after the 2016 election, a guy from my hometown, in his mid-60s, made the startling suggestion that the United States reinstate the draft.

At age 18, I had difficulty supporting this bright idea. He carried on. He recalled his role in the antiwar student protest movement, as a student at the restive University of Wisconsin, and how involvement surged when the Vietnam draft became a legitimate threat for young people, students included.

Since that conversation, I’ve spoken with several others who raised the same prospect.

If the draft still stood — if students had to face the threat of war, or for that matter think about it — protests would ensue.

One veteran maintained that we would no longer be fighting a war in Afghanistan, and that the government would not get away with much of what it does. Indeed, then and now, students are at the core of mass resistance, the first and necessary level of any formidable opposition.

But, as a college newspaper editor at a time of political chaos, inistability and widespread uncertainty about the future that we will inherit, I’ve thought at length about how few protests we have the opportunity to cover, how few fiery opinion submissions we get. Here and nationwide, campuses are mostly dormant, no longer the protest hotbeds they once were. College students — kids with knowledge, money, opportunity, access, energy and, hence, collective influence — have made few public displays of resistance, going through the motions with little evident dismay at our social and political situation.

I’m inclined to think that

this is because, for the most part, today’s political reality has left the living reality of most college students untouched. The very traits that give students influence — knowledge, money, opportunity, access and energy — have allowed them to face recent tumult unscathed. Without a draft, or anything capable of radically disrupting the lives of usually immune students, there’s little reason to think about the plight that others face, about the crumbling of democratic institutions here and abroad. As an article I recently read put it, “We live in an economy, not a nation.”

Of course, there are other contributing factors. I’ve talked to many students who are extremely troubled by today’s political world, but who rarely engage in public resistance. With tens of thousands in debt, they opt instead to look forward, burrowing themselves in books now with the hope of contributing in several years through some career or another.

Moreover, in an age of constant documentation, with digital trails left everywhere, outspoken, even illegal resistance could disqualify students from future employment or internship opportunities. With no immediate threats looming, such as a draft, waiting it out feels smart and appropriate.

But today, we — particularly us college students — face a menace whose scope is indiscriminate.

Whose wrath, unlike the draft,

which left the lucky and the wealthy mostly off the hook, will affect all, at first indirectly and eventually very directly. The specter of climate change, now hovering in the background, easy to ignore as you hike through White Clay, will come crashing down, irreversibly upending life (human and otherwise) as we all know it.

A recent federal report tells us as much, although its findings are hardly surprising. In the coming decades, assuming the U.S. and others continue to neglect their own wellbeing, climate change will bring us refugees, whether from Florida, California or Haiti.

It will leave us without foods we currently enjoy (or food at all), without water and without a natural world. As resource scarcity gets severe, war will likely ensue.

One historian has even suggested that climate change will bring us the next major genocide. Nobody will escape its reach.

In these respects, the threat of climate change is arguably more terrifying than the threat of a draft, which, back in the day, would have launched you into an undeveloped country armed by the most powerful military in the world. Unlike the draft, which left open the possibility for exemption, climate change can and will disrupt the life of every living college student. There is no dodging nature.

It seems, then, that climate change fulfills all of the

requirements for provoking a student protest movement. The question remains as to why it has not. The answer is, assuming more than a reckless, self-indulgent nihilism of college students (which has a good deal of supporting evidence), that the effects are not immediately present. As Elizabeth Kolbert has written, the “backloaded temporality” of climate change makes its consequences difficult to grasp. The particularly devastating effects will cascade into destruction and unrest only once certain thresholds are reached, and the effects of proximate causes today, such as coal emissions, may not manifest fully for decades.

But, should students and others wait to hit the streets until catastrophic exigencies provoke it, their protests will be in vain. Unless a movement starts today — unless governments are pressured to impose stringent regulations, reduced to fear and action, by civilian unrest, which must begin with students — then our planet will burn and drown in glorious chaos, and we will go down with it.

So can climate change ignite the next student protest movement? Precedent tells us it can. Maybe it will. But, as it is not occurring now, and as it shows few signs of materializing in the near future, it will surely be too late.

This week’s prompt:

Would you invite a vegan to Thanksgiving dinner?

We might have just the thing for you.

This fall, The Review is introducing weekly essay contests, designed to push conversation and creativity in new directions. This isn’t a place for predictable political grumbling or sappy columns. We don’t care if you’ve been “published” in the Odyssey, and you can spare us the stale Black Sheep humor. This is a place for your writing and ideas to come alive.

To prove to the campus community why you, more than your peers, deserve to be heard.

So how exactly can you do that? Each week, you can submit an essay of no more than 500 words in response to the week’s prompt. That’s pretty much the only rule. Nothing too profane, obscene or defamatory, of course, but otherwise it’s yours to make your own. Deadlines for submission will be 12:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and all college students in the mid-Atlantic area are invited to participate.

Essays will be reviewed by The Review’s editorial board and evaluated on the basis of ingenuity of thought and quality of writing. The winning essay will be published in the week’s print edition.

Already bursting with ideas?

All submissions can be sent to essaycontest@udreview.com.Have at it.

Opinion: UD’s Illegal ideological censorship T

he University of Delaware has a long history of infringing on academic freedom and the free speech of its faculty and students. In 1976, UD President Arthur Trabant fired theater professor Richard Aumiller for publicly defending homosexuality.

A federal judge, ruling that Trabant had violated Aumiller’s academic freedom, fined not only the university, but also Trabant personally. In another well-known episode, for several years in the early 1990’s UD made strenuous efforts to block the research funding of two professors, Jan Blits and Linda Gottfredson. Its stated reason: the granting agency, the Pioneer Fund, had an ideology inconsistent with the university’s own. Again the censorship effort failed in the legal process. Apparently, however, some UD administrators have learned

nothing from UD’s disgraceful history of ideological censorship. On the contrary, they now send armed police to suppress ideas they do not like. At UD, “thought police” is now not a metaphor, but a literal fact.

A few weeks ago, JoséLuis Riera, interim vice president for student life, and Carol Henderson, vice provost for diversity, emailed students and faculty to report that UD police had taken down campus posters with the slogan “It’s okay to be white.” Riera and Henderson believed that this message was part of a “white nationalist” campaign designed to “spread an agenda of hate” and “to pit people on various points of the political spectrum against one another.”

This last phrase, of course, merely describes the essence of political debate. Is the goal of

Riera and Henderson to suppress political debate and eliminate all differences of opinion on campus?

The email from Riera and Henderson makes clear that the posters were torn down because of their specific ideological content – not, as a UD spokeswoman told the Newark Post, because “permission is needed to hang anything on school property.”

And the same spokeswoman confirmed that police removed the posters without knowing whether they were put up by “someone affiliated with the university” (PostNov. 9, 2018, p. 4).

While the slogan “It’s okay to be white” may be simplistic and childish (and even offensive to some), nevertheless it is protected speech under the U.S. Constitution. As the US Supreme Court has often repeated, the “bedrock” principle of the First

Amendment forbids government -- including state universities -- from declaring certain ideas to be heresies.

Viewpoint discrimination by government is illegal in a public forum, and that includes policies that require prior permission for speech if such permission is refused to speakers with certain views. We do not know Riera and Henderson’s job descriptions. However, they cannot include censoring certain viewpoints from expression on campus, since that is flatly illegal for a state university. And the use of armed police to do this job is especially shocking.

All students and faculty should zealously guard their constitutional rights of free speech and academic freedom against illegal UD administrative censorship. According to 42 U.S.C. §1983, university officials

– such as Riera, Henderson, and police chief Patrick Ogden – can be held personally liable for violating these rights. Moreover, conspiring to violate someone’s constitutional rights is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. §241. Any student or professor who believes that UD has violated his or her right to free speech should contact Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) at thefire.org for advice and assistance.

Opinion: Bipartisan policy proposals can grow the middle class Quinn Ludwicki Opinion Editor

S

en. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) wrote an op-ed calling for bipartisanship just a week after Democrats took control of the House. With a Democratic House and Republican Senate, a stagnant Congress seems likely for the next two years.

Over the past few weeks, I have researched three bipartisan proposals. It’s my belief that these proposals could and would help everyday families for years to come and could plausibly be voted on within the next two years.

My first proposal is to provide a worker tax credit, which I would pay for by implementing a carbon

tax. My second is to create child savings accounts paid for by the estate tax just as Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has announced, called the American Opportunity Accounts Act. My third is to provide paid family leave paid for by the payroll tax.

We need deficit neutral policies to help grow the middle class. Not only is the federal deficit growing exponentially, but household incomes are rising slowly, wages remain stagnant and Americans are working longer.

A worker tax credit funded by implementing a carbon tax is the first step to providing relief to workers who need it most. The worker tax credit would be similar to the earned income tax credit, but would

include childless workers. With household incomes and wages stagnant, a tax credit to help middle class families is needed and something that Republicans and Democrats alike can agree on. Implementing a carbon tax would encourage reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, while funding a progressive benefit to the American people.

Economic mobility begins at birth, which is why every child needs to be given the opportunity to be successful. The American Opportunity Accounts Act that was just announced by Booker would create a seed savings account for every American child.

The accounts would be managed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and have an interest

rate of around 3 percent. Every child would receive $1000 at birth. Every year, each child would receive up to an additional $2,000 into their account, depending on family income. A wealthy child would have close to $1,800 and a poor child would have close to $50,000. This policy is a bold proposal to help mitigate the growing wealth gap. If the child chooses to not go to college, the account could go toward home ownership. This policy would be paid for by changes to the estate and inheritance taxes.

The United States remains one of the only industrialized nations without paid family leave.

While I believe that paid family leave is a must, compromise might be the only way to get such

a policy proposal implemented. A 2017 report by the AEI-Brookings Working Group on Paid Family Leave includes a compromise proposal that would provide mothers and fathers with eight weeks of paid parental leave.

Other key elements include a replacement rate of seven percent up to a cap of $600 per week for eight weeks and job protections.

This would be paid for by changes in the payroll tax.

Workers need a helping hand, and I believe that each proposal can give assistance in providing relief to American workers.

Bipartisanship is still alive — or, at least, it can be, when it comes to policy-making.
