Davis Dominates Dodgeball Tournament

The term “Title IX” appears quite often on Stevens cam-pus, but many students are unaware of the gravitas that it holds. It began as a way to protect students from gender discrimination, and has been associated mostly with athlet-ics. However, Title IX policy has evolved over time and now offers protection to stu-dents in situations of sexual assault or violence.

Then what is Title IX? The term is derived from a federal law that requires “no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be de-nied the benefits of, or be sub-jected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal fi-nancial assistance” (20 U.S.C § 1681(a)). But isn’t Stevens a private institution? According to Assistant Dean of Students and Title IX Coordinator Kris-tie Damell, “Any educational institution that receives feder-al funding must comply with Title IX and its policies.”

Although the actual Title IX policy is brief, the U.S Depart-ment of Education and the Supreme Court have molded the statute to include much more than gender-based dis-crimination. Stevens Institute of Technology has always had an anti-discrimination policy, but the introduction

STEVENS’ NEXT BEST DANCE CREW • STORY ON PAGE 8

On Tuesday, September 15, Walker gym was flooded for the freshmen dodgeball tourna-ment by a sea of blue, green, red, and black. All of the fresh-man halls assembled on the ground floor, beginning the chaos, with each hall express-ing their support and excite-ment. As the previous cham-pions—blue Hayden and red Davis—amassed, the tension rose. The Davis team grouped together and began chanting, “I believe that we can win!” Black Castle Point Hall (CPH) came

with new aspirations for win-ning the game, as well as green Humphreys Hall who were ex-cited by the new opportunity.

The tournament commenced with a face-off between CPH and Davis. With this, a series of gymnastic moves, jumps, and dives began. Even in the first game, it turned out to be an intense match: balls flew into the stands, a player lost his shoe, and people were pelted and kicked out. In the end, the round came down to three blacks and about fifteen reds. Even though Davis took the win, the final member of CPH put up an impressive three minute fight.

The battle between Hayden and Humphreys was mislead-ing, as halfway through the match Hayden appeared to have the lead; however, Humphreys changed their tactics, catching the balls and getting ahead. At the end, one final team member of Hayden was standing against Humphreys, and the greens surrounded her took the win. In the Hayden vs. CPH game, spectators began helping the referees, yelling at people who were out. The blacks eventually took down the final blue mem-ber with their impressive ma-neuvers to win the game.

In the final match between Humphreys and Davis, each

team got even more intense as they tried their best to avoid and catch balls. The green “coach” shouted different game strategies and held a notepad promoting “Death” to the ene-my. In the end, one final mem-ber of Humphreys threw a ball that was caught, cementing Da-vis as the winners. The Davis team ran wild with excitement. However, the other teams were excited too. A CPH member left saying, “not last place” and oth-ers were excited to meet people from their halls. In the end, it was an event that brought the halls together. Rumor has it there might be a rematch in the spring.

Ethicist and scholar Wendell Wallach presented his new book this past Wednesday, Dangerous Master: How To Keep Technology from Slipping Beyond Our Control. With science advancing at a rapid rate in fields such as human clon-ing, embryonic stem cell research, and artificially intelligent robot-ics, the fear of technology tran-sitioning from “a good servant to a dangerous master” becomes all the more tangible. Will human-ity reach a point where it can no longer control technology? Will technology cause more problems than solutions? Wallach opened his talk with controversial topics

to demonstrate that the ethics of these issues need to be discussed. Wallach then stated his prediction for where technology is headed, gave three reasons that support his prediction, and provided sug-gestions of how his prophecy can be prevented.

Wallach stated that social dis-ruptions, issues in public health, and economic crises will increase dramatically over the next 30 years due to technology. His reasons included the fact that humanity’s reliance on complex systems is increasing, the pace for discovery and innovation is too rapid, and that there are a pleth-ora of things that can go wrong with advancing technologies. He pointed out that complex systems are unpredictable and difficult

to manage, and that humanity is currently in a “tech-storm where continuing showers can be de-structive.”

However, Wallach did not forebode humanity into what he called “hell in a hand basket” without proposing possible solu-tions. He stated that there are in-flection points, or windows of op-portunity, where change can be initiated. The trajectory of where technology is headed can be al-tered. Some possible future inflec-tion points include technological unemployment, the fact that com-puters are taking jobs away from people, and “robotization” of warfare, the idea that robots will fight wars instead of humans.

Wallach strongly believes that robots should not have lethal au-

tonomy, stating that it is mala in se, or evil in itself. He also stated at the talk that society should dismiss myths such as “Techno-Solutions,” a theory that believes that technology can solve any problem. He suggested that re-sponsibility of failures in technol-ogy should be part of the design component of construction, and that ethicists and social theorists should be embedded in the in-novative process of creating new technologies. He concluded that technological development needs to slow down at a humanely man-ageable pace, because it needs “oversight, foresight, and plan-ning.”

Wallach’s talk then ended with an interactive discussion. “I never thought about these issues con-

cerning the future of technology before,” said senior Matt Hall. “It really makes you wonder where we are headed.” Philosophy pro-fessor Garry Dobbins questioned Wallach on his interpretation of certain data in his presenta-tion, arguing that “technology is not autonomous. We made this world the way it is.” Other mem-bers of the audience wondered whether technology or the people who made these technologies are to blame, to which Wallach re-sponded, “There is no human and technology. We live in a socio-technological system.” Wallach left his audience understanding that technology has the potential to influence humanity as much as humanity has the power to influ-ence it.

OpiniOn

Listen, I really don’t want to make yet another pessimistic column. But recently, this school has done nothing but depress me.

I was ranting at The Stute office a while back, and someone said to me:

“You don’t regret coming here, do you?” I am torn here. I was happy when I first came to Stevens. I was excited, I had friends, I had hopes and dreams with the Co-op Program and possibly a Master’s and all of that jazz. I was a freshman.

But now, I am not. My Co-op Program is gone, I couldn’t handle the over-loading of classes for a Master’s, and many of my friends have mostly left Stevens by some means or another. So many of the things I used to love about this school are ei-ther gone or on the way out.

Once upon a time, Pierce had these great couches that you could chill in while watching anime or playing games (yeah, I was one of the “kids in the corner” in Hart Welles’ “Stevens, My Life is You” song), but they have since removed everything but the tables and chairs. I remember in my freshmen year hang-ing out with people on Hayden 4th floor work-ing on reviewing MA 115 and MA 116, the original Calculus I and Calculus II classes, but those days are totally gone now that I live outside of Stevens. My friends and I all used

to have this thought that we could really make a difference at this school, and actually change the stupid things that frustrat-ed us. Nothing changed.

So, do I “regret com-ing here”? I guess I do. While my experience here has been complete-ly invaluable, with great friends and a myriad of different types of events that irrefutably changed my life, there is a good chance I would’ve met a good crowd of people at another college. So yeah, in many ways, I do regret coming here.

But what specifically upsets me about Stevens?

I don’t have a good an-swer. The school is chang-ing, and I have no say in it. I suppose, at the end of the day, that really up-sets me. Not enough stu-dents have representation in things like the Master Plan, or Compass One, or even the landscaping. I mean, I don’t expect that at any other school I could’ve gone, so I sup-pose there is no reason to be upset, but even so, I wish students had more say in what’s going on around campus.

I think I am abnormal-ly bitter about this, but I think most seniors can agree that we all spent

way too much on this school, but somehow, the benefits outweigh, or will outweigh, these costs (not just the price). When you look closely at it, it makes sense. Most of us only became bitter in the last year or two, in which case we are already halfway through. That promise of a big paycheck at the end of the road is a big one, and most Stevens students are practical people.

If I could do it all over again, I probably wouldn’t have chosen Stevens. I would have tried for University of

Stute Editorial

“Nobody reads The Stute”

As I sit here at my desk writing this column, I re-alize that it has been al-most three weeks since I moved on campus. A lot definitely has changed since I first moved in, and I have come to love it here. For me, it is great to wake up in my own bed in my own room (or at least in my own half of the room) and go about my day as an in-dependent adult in the university of my dreams.

It has been quite a whirlwind of events since the beginning of

the semester, from the Kick-Off Fiesta and Meet the Greeks event to the Convocation and Club Fair. Going through all of these events and in-troductions into univer-sity life has allowed me to make a smooth transi-tion here.

All of these events, es-pecially the Club Fair, have allowed me to find common interests within my peers and understand that now is the time to try new things. Wheth-er it is joining the club soccer team, the Honor Board, or the Knitting Club, it is important for me to step out of my comfort zone once in a while. Even though this is definitely not the most comfortable feeling (I can vouch for that), at the end of the day I can say that I did something that I never thought I would do.

A perfect example of this is two years ago in my junior year of high school, when I decided I would try my hand at participating my school’s spring produc-tion of CATS. Before that time, musicals really weren’t something that my friends would say I enjoyed doing. This is mainly because I hadn’t been that outgoing in the first year or so of high school, and I wasn’t re-ally keen on trying new things. I would continu-ously pass up opportuni-ties to try something new and I had had enough of it.

I finally decided that now was the time to reach out and step out of my comfort zone. That year I had been a part of my school’s spring musi-cal and I had absolutely loved it. Even though I had very little singing

and acting experience, I still gave it my best shot and ended up being one of the best perform-ers in the show (that is an unbiased opinion of course). I had a great time, and I was glad that I had finally conquered my fear of being in situ-ations that I find uncom-fortable. Going through this experience allowed me to see for myself the importance and benefits of putting yourself out there.

The advice that I would give to my fellow fresh-men is to try new things, even if you know they would make you feel uncomfortable at first. Sure, don’t do anything that you know might go against your better judg-ment, but make sure that at least once during your time here you toss cau-tion to the wind and ex-plore a new path.

Last semester I was walking back to my dorm in Jonas. I had just be-come Editor-in-Chief, and was walking back from Howe reading the new is-sue, mostly checking for any potential errors. As I neared Jonas, a student pulled up beside me in his car and said, “You’re actually reading The Stute?”, and pulled away. This person’s identity is irrelevant, but he was an attendee of The Stute Freshman Weekend in 2013, ironically enough. As much as this may seem like an exaggeration or hyperbolic illustration of what I’m about to delve into, it happened as you read it above, and both jarred and angered me immensely.

The Stute has been a subject of student ridicule since my freshman year. The classic phrase uttered is, as this editorial’s title indicates, “Nobody reads The Stute.” In my sopho-more and junior years to follow, not much changed in the way of students’ perception of The Stute, as

a publication. Why?From a non-member’s

perspective, The Stute is a kind of a “straw man,” in the sense that the publica-tion—Stevens’ own news-paper—was cast aside and deemed unworthy of reading for the sake of mockery. In plain Eng-lish, The Stute was a black sheep, ugly duckling, and punching bag all in one: an object of ridicule al-most entirely regarded by the student body as the joke club with a red and grey bullseye on its back. As a new member of The Stute toward the end of my freshman year, I got upset by people say-ing, “The Stute? Dude, no one reads that.” Unfor-tunately, the anti-Stute sentiment is not entirely unfounded.

As many within The Stute know, I am quite vocal about how I feel about past iterations of The Stute, both in prin-ciple and print, some-times to a fault. I do not revere traditions because they simply existed once upon a time, and I am al-

most always a proponent of change when it makes sense. With this preface, as a former weekly report-er for The Stute from late 2012–2013, I know that The Stute was not always a welcoming and inviting place. In fact, it was often a toxic place to work and learn, unless you were an established member—The Stute was an insider-cen-tric club, and if you were not in the inner circle, you weren’t necessarily wel-comed with open arms. Plus, The Stute’s content and design were, more or less, decades old and un-changed.

To avoid crossing the threshold of what could be a propaganda piece for The Stute, I’ll just say that none of the afore-mentioned is true: all are welcome, content is in-creasingly original, and the design is completely overhauled. However, with the Class of 2018 and below (sophomores to seniors) The Stute stigma remains. With the Class of 2019, The Stute’s image has shifted, and

based on the amount of newspapers that are being read, responses to “Where the Duck?” submitted, and post-Club Fair surge of new members, I know that shift is beginning to permeate older students.

As time wanes on, new students will enter and current students will be-come alumni. As a club leader, member, or lurker, if you are unhappy with the current state of your organization, understand that you can change your club’s course. If there are problem members, but you cannot call for im-peachment without caus-ing more trouble than is worth, do the best you can within your limitations and wait for that problem to disappear from Ste-vens. Ignore blind haters, but listen to critics.

If people are say-ing, “Nobody reads The Stute,” there’s a problem. Fix it.

When Stevens hired me a decade ago, it installed me for several months in the department of physics, which had a spare office. Down the hall from me, Albert Einstein’s electric-haired visage beamed from a poster for the “World Year of Physics 2005.” The poster celebrated the cen-tennial of the “miraculous year” when a young patent

clerk in Bern, Switzerland, revolutionized physics with four papers on rela-tivity, quantum mechan-ics and thermodynamics. “Help make 2005 another Miraculous Year!” the poster exclaimed.

As 2005 wound down with no miracles in sight, the poster took on an in-creasingly poignant cast. Passing the office of a phys-ics professor who made the mistake of leaving his door open, I stopped and asked the question implic-itly posed by the “Year of Physics” poster: Will there ever be another Einstein? The physicist scrunched up his face and replied, “I’m not sure what that ques-tion means.”

Einstein is the most fa-mous and beloved scien-

tist of all time. We revere him not only as a scien-tific genius but also as a moral and even spiritual sage. Abraham Pais, Ein-stein’s biographer, called him “the divine man of the 20th century.” To New York Times physics report-er Dennis Overbye, Ein-stein was an “icon” of “hu-manity in the face of the unknown.” So to rephrase my question: Will science ever produce another fig-ure who evokes such hy-perbolic reverence?

I doubt it. The problem isn’t that modern physicists can’t match Einstein’s in-tellectual firepower. Phys-ics hasn’t produced more Einsteins, journalist James Gleick once suggested, be-cause there are so many brilliant physicists alive

today that it has become harder for any individual to stand apart from the pack. In other words, our perception of Einstein as a towering figure is, well, relative.

Gleick’s explanation makes sense. However, I would add a corollary: Einstein seems bigger than modern physicists because--to paraphrase Norma Des-mond in Sunset Boulevard--physics got small. For the first half of the last cen-tury, physics yielded not only deep insights into nature--which resonated with the disorienting work of creative visionaries like Picasso, Joyce and Freud--but also history-jolting technologies like the atom-ic bomb, nuclear power, radar, lasers and transis-

tors. Physics mattered.Over the past few de-

cades, many physicists have bogged down pursu-ing a goal that obsessed Einstein in his latter years: a theory that fuses quan-tum physics and general relativity, which are as in-compatible, conceptually and mathematically, as plaid and polka dots. Seek-ers of this “theory of every-thing” have wandered into fantasy realms of higher dimensions with little or no empirical connection to our reality.

Moreover, no modern scientist has approached Einstein’s extra-scientific reputation. Einstein took advantage of his fame to speak out on militarism and other vital issues through lectures, essays,

interviews, petitions and letters to world leaders. When he spoke, people lis-tened.

In 1952 Israel’s govern-ment asked Einstein if he would consider becoming the country’s president. Einstein politely declined--perhaps to the relief of the Israeli officials, given his commitment to pacifism and a global government. (While awaiting Einstein’s answer, David Ben-Gurion, the prime minister, report-edly asked an aide, “What are we going to do if he ac-cepts?”)

It is hard to imagine any modern scientist be-ing lionized in this man-ner. One reason may be that science as a whole has

Head to First Street between Bloomfield and Garden Streets and watch as you’re trans-ported to a rue de Paris upon stepping inside Choc O Pain.

Well, almost. The owner, who actually hails from France, un-derstands the plight of the average American and has English trans-lations for every menu item. Likewise, all of the baristas speak English.

The window of this French bakery café (think French Starbucks) invites passersby in with displays of fresh artisan breads and a highly en-ticing pastry counter just beyond.

Walking in around

brunch time, I was greet-ed by the sight of young mothers seated comfort-ably around tables with their infants by their sides, and their lattes and cappuccinos situat-ed closely, too.

Eyes adjusting to the lower but warm lighting, my attention then turned to the matter at hand: what exactly to choose from the countless sweets, from macarons, tartes, and chouquettes elegantly piled high to delicate sandwich-es, soups, salads, and quiches placed neatly in the adjacent counter. With the scent of fresh-ly baked breads wafting through the air, my deci-sion was not easy.

I knew I had to try the café’s namesake: the French staple pain au chocolat, or a crois-sant filled with a layer of creamy chocolate. Not having a ton of time be-fore class, I opted for a curried chicken, apri-cot and raisin sandwich packaged for later. My brunch buddy chose cof-fee and un croissant jam-bon emmental, or ham

and cheese baked into a croissant for those of you non-Francophiles.

All of the tables being taken on the ground lev-el, we took our food and headed to the back of the store to a stairwell lead-ing to the second level, but not before taking a moment to appreciate the baking magic going on in the kitchen, visible through a large window on the first level.

The second story re-vealed more of a library-type setting with cozy chairs and a well-stocked bookshelf. Considering there’s free Wi-Fi, this level offers a great place to sit and study.

Biting into my choco-pain, if I didn’t believe I was in France before, I certainly did now. The soft, buttery and flaky texture of the croissant melted on my tongue, revealing a deliciously velvety and perfectly proportionate layer of elegantly flavored gooey chocolate. I was in heav-en.

My friend agreed, as her croissant was a fla-vor explosion of smoked

ham and rich, creamy cheese encapsulated by the same buttery crois-sant as mine. Her coffee was not bad but nothing special.

Later on that day, my sandwich made multi-variate calculus more than bearable, as the freshness of the sour-dough bread (the base of all of their breads) com-plemented the meshing of sweet and savory fla-

vors contained within.Needless to say, I

wanted to try one of everything. I definitely plan on going back, and luckily doing so will not break the bank. The most expensive item I ordered (and more or less on the menu) was my sandwich ($9), and our total bill was just under $20.

Choc O Pain is the perfect place to sit and study, go for brunch, or

even just grab coffee and a pastry and hang out. If you’re starving and looking for a ton of food, then this is not the place to go, as the portion sizes are between those of France and America, that is to say smaller than most are accus-tomed. But regardless, make the trip once, and if you appreciate great cuisine, you’ll surely be hooked.

The ZUtA Labs Pocket Printer, set to release this month, has made appear-ances on sites such as WIRED, Fast Company, and even Forbes. Besides its interesting spelling, this little gadget revo-lutionizes the world of printer technology and, quite frankly, does what technology is meant to do: create an easier expe-rience for the consumer.

Before we get into its unique features, let’s talk about the problems a pocket printer can fix. No more will you, or anyone ever, have to plan out a trip to the library or the next room to print out a document. Not only that, this special printer can print out any standard size paper. Energy effi-cient and portable, the Pocket Printer brings a lot to the table.

The Pocket Printer it-self is very lightweight, weighing in at an aston-ishing 350 grams and only 10.2 cm. in diam-eter. ZUtA’s printer can print 1 to 1.2 A4-sized pages per minute. Not only can this printer print from any device (PC, Mac, tablets, smart-phones, etc.), it also

sports an easy-to-change cartridge system. With each cartridge, this little guy can print over 100 pages, all from a hand-sized machine!

Unfortunately, the Pocket Printer’s small stature also causes some problems. On one full battery charge, the printer will only go for about one hour. Use of this printer may require a small bit of planning, unless, of course, it is fre-quently charged.

Also, at the time of this writing, the ZUtA only comes in one color, black. Hopefully, in the future, if this neat little machine picks up a fol-lowing, ZUtA will allow customization (kitty cat printers for everybody?).

Though the printer

has a few shortcomings, for a start-up project, it has proven to be quite impressive. Anyone can pre-order their own ZUtA

Pocket Printer on their website, zutalabs.com, for a discounted price of $199.

Fortunately, the ZUtA

logo isn’t as big as Google’s or Apple’s, oth-erwise the affordability would be significantly compromised.

Hoboken Italian Fest: Sunday’s my kind of town

The annual Hoboken Italian Fes-tival was held on Sinatra Drive over the weekend of September 10. Sinatra Drive is conveniently located under the Babbio Center, giving easy access for Stevens students on campus. The festival brought with it joyous laughs, plenty of music and, of course, excel-lent food. For those familiar with Ital-ian culture, the festival is also known as the “Feast of the Madonna Dei Mar-tWiri”. Some notable events from the weekend included the Cannoli Eating Contest on Saturday and the My Kind of Town Sinatra tribute on Sunday.

In addition to those events, the fes-tival featured bouncy parks, slides, a rock climbing wall, carnival-type rides, and trampolines. Unfortunate-ly, if you looked like an adult, you were denied entry to the kid-themed attractions. The carnival games re-

sembled those you would find at any typical fair-like carnival: some of the prizes included inflatable weapons and even giant stuffed cartoon char-acters. Along with the attractions, on Sunday night there was a fireworks display over the Hudson that proved to be spectacular.

The festival is also peculiar because

it displays a cultural look on Italian history through the feasting and the celebration that is an integral part in the understanding of Italy’s personal-ity. That was all due to the “We Light the Tradition” project, put on by the folks responsible for the festival. The staff, as well as everyone who went, are to thank for this movement since

it is a crowdfunded project. Overall, the festivities have proved their worth to the crowds of people in attendance through their shared laughs and joy-ous moments. Special thanks to the vendors and event planners that have worked together to make this pos-sible. Hoboken is looking forward to another great festival next year.

Several different organi-zations in Hoboken intro-duced themselves to new members of the Stevens community on Schaefer Lawn this past Wednesday. The following information gives a brief description of the organizations that were in attendance:

Hoboken Public Li-brary: The library has been a member of the com-munity for quite some time now, and in fact, Mrs. Ste-vens built the library. The library is a good place for relaxation and studying. With your Hoboken Public Library Card, you have the ability to download mov-ies, music, magazines. In addition to free wifi, there is also a maker space avail-able with 3D printers and scanners, making the li-brary a good place to go when the campus is too busy. The library is cur-rently looking for volun-teers to teach classes, help with their stand at the arts and music festival, and to shelve books.

Hoboken Family Alli-

ance: This organization host events for Hoboken families to enjoy. They support the community by giving out scholarships and grants to high school stu-dents from Hoboken. They are a non-profit organiza-tion and all of their work-ers are volunteers. To find volunteer opportunities check out their website or email them at [email protected].

Hoboken Art Coopera-tive Gallery: The Hobo-ken Art Cooperative Gal-lery is looking for people to help in the gallery from Thursdays to Fridays. The gallery is willing to work with volunteers so they can work around their class schedules. The gallery of-fers wifi and a quiet place to study, too!

Hoboken Public Schools: The Hoboken public school system, which is open to Pre-K through twelfth grade stu-dents, is constantly look-ing for ways to integrate with the Stevens commu-nity. The school system is searching for students and student athletes to come and talk to the athletic department at the nearby high school and to talk to

current seniors about the college application process and college life.

Stevens Cooperative School: Founded in 1949, the Stevens Cooperative School is a private edu-cational institution that functions for students in pre-school through eighth grade. They are search-ing for students who are majoring in engineering, math, science, or technol-ogy fields to talk to middle school students to consid-er entering STEM-related fields.

St Matthew’s: St. Mat-thew’s helps the communi-ty by providing assistance in local soup kitchens. They are looking for vol-unteers to help feed the homeless.

Hoboken Grace Com-munity Church: Hoboken Grace, a non-denomina-tional Christian Church, has been around for eight years. They have different volunteer teams that run different programs like col-lecting food for their food bank or helping out in the Hoboken homeless shelter.

THON at Penn State: This large dance event is to raise money for sick children. They also run

a Secret Santa in which kids write down what they would like, and students buy the presents to send out to the children.

Elysian Charter School: This K-8 School is looking for students who would be able to tutor their middle schoolers. The school is starting a new oceanog-raphy program, and the school directors need stu-dents to help them develop it. They would appreciate help with technology since most of their equipment is very old and the teachers don’t have much IT experi-ence.

Hoboken Historical Museum: Since the muse-um only has 2,000 square feet of space, it has no per-manent exhibits. Every six to 12 months, the museum displays a new feature ex-hibit. The most recent fea-ture surrounds Frank Sina-tra because this year would mark his 100th birthday. The museum only has 6 or 7 employees as permanent staff, so many volunteers are needed in order to help with fundraising events. The museum’s upcoming “Houses of Hoboken” tour event needs 70 volunteers.

HOPES: This organi-

zation’s main role is to help the community with projects such as provid-ing transportation for se-nior citizens, doing taxes for free and helping with resumes. HOPES also of-fers ESL classes and basic computer skills classes. They have a Gala coming up on October 15th that is in need of volunteers who will be helping people to their seats.

Jubilee Program: Jubi-lee provides after-school services for students aged 2-6. They are looking for tutors and people to help kids with their homework.

What do students val-ue about the Stevens Honor System? The Stevens Honor Board prompted students to write their answers to this question in chalk on Whittpenn Walk this past Wednesday. The event, called Chalk It Up to Values, was cre-ated in order to get stu-dents thinking about the principles of the student-run Stevens Honor System, and how to apply them in their own lives. Elena

Piper, the Honor Board Chair, explained, “A lot of students only think about the repercussions of violating the Honor System. Our goal here is to get them to think about the positives: the traditions, the val-ues, and the lessons it teaches us.” The event drew in a large crowd, and by the end of the afternoon, hundreds of positive responses had been chalked in on the pavement.

Chalk It Up to Values is one of several pub-licity events the Honor Board has planned for this academic year as

part of its movement to re-brand itself and en-courage students to own their Honor System. To learn more about the Stevens Honor System, visit the Honor Board website (stevens.edu/honor) and follow them on social media. Appli-cations to join the Ste-vens Honor Board are due via DuckSync on September 25.

The Honor Board will be holding an open meeting on September 23 in Babbio 122 at 9 p.m. to discuss the Honor System, upcom-ing events, and starting new committees.

IUA, FAST, KSA, CSA, and SIA hosted the International Des-sert Night this past Wednesday night on Palmer Lawn. There were many different desserts that you could try, from IUA’s gulab jamun (munchkins cov-ered in syrup) and ras-malai (sponge cake) to FAST’s turon (fried plantain). KSA brought many different cakes

such as Mocha, Choco-late Chiffon, and even Matcha Green Tea. CSA brought many flavors of ice cream, and the Stevens Irish Associa-tion brought cookies with green frosting and green sprinkles.

of the government’s Title IX guidance document in 2011—also known as the “Dear Colleague Letter”—mandated that schools address sexual violence. “Once the Dear Colleague Letter came out, there were a number of terms we had to define. Our current policy came to be in the fall of 2013,” said Damell. “However, new regulations have come out, and we have to tweak our policy accord-ing to those changes.”

KnowyourIX.org is an informational website that Dean Damell has listed as a resource on the Title IX page of the Ste-vens website. It goes into depth regarding the his-tory, the legislature, and the importance that Title IX policy serves on cam-puses across the United States. On the website, it reads, “Title IX does not apply to female students only.” The policy extends to all students, regardless

of their real or perceived sex, gender identity, or gender expression. In ad-dition, the website states that “female, male, and gender non-conforming students, faculty and staff are protected from any sex-based discrimination, harassment or violence.”

Another component of Title IX pertains to the Clery Act. This particular piece of legislature has an unfortunate origin: the law was named after Jeanne Clery, who was raped and murdered in her college dorm room in the late 1980s. Her parents, determined to shed light on their daughter’s death, pushed for the passing of the Jeanne Clery Disclo-sure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statis-tics Act. “The Clery Act orders that all campuses publish their crime statis-tics,” said Damell. “The Annual Security Report is available online, but is published so that it is always one year behind and reports statistics from the prior year.” The 2013 and 2014 Stevens Annual Security Reports list the

crime statistics for 2012 and 2013, respectively. When juxtaposing the two documents, certain of-fenses, such as rape, fon-dling, incest, and statu-tory rape, are included in the 2013 report, but not in the prior year’s report. The changes are accredit-ed to the new regulations mandated by the U.S De-partment of Education.

The 2014 Annual Se-curity Report shows that under the new categories, only one incident of fon-dling and one incident of a forcible sex offense in the 2013 academic year. The numbers may be low, but that doesn’t mean sex-ual assault and violence is not happening. According to Dean Damell, “No re-ports don’t always equal zero occurrences. When I see people reporting, it makes me happy to know that students are utilizing their resources.”

For gender or sex-based discrimination victims and witnesses, there are many resources available. “Students can always contact Campus Police,” said Damell. “However,

if students do not want to file a report with the po-lice, they can always go through the Title IX of-fice. The student always has the choice.” When incidences are reported, the information remains within a very small group of individuals. The Title IX office includes Assis-tant Dean Damell and Vice President for Hu-man Resources and Dep-uty Title IX Coordinator Mark Samolewicz, as well as several Title IX Inves-tigators that are utilized when conducting investi-gations.

Lower Campus Area Coordinator Steven Cou-ras also serves as a Title IX Investigator, conduct-ing prompt and thorough investigations of sexual misconduct, working with Dean Damell, and gathering relevant docu-mentation for Title IX re-lated complaints. When asked about preventative measures, Couras stated, “There are really great tools students can use to stay safe like the Com-panion app, which con-nects you with friends

who can virtually walk home with you so you are not alone” said Couras. “It’s important to educate yourself and understand [Stevens’] policies and to know the resources avail-able to you.”

Stevens is a university that fosters safe-campus practices, and student leaders have been eager to help perpetuate Title IX Policies. Women’s Pro-grams and Stevens Shat-tering the Silence are two organizations that raise awareness of both gender and sex-based discrimina-tion, while Dean Damell and Steven Couras have taken the initiative to pro-vide bystander training to many students on cam-pus, including Resident Assistants, Orientation Leaders, and Fraternity and Sorority members, as well as all athletic teams beginning this academic year. “We hope that all our initiatives trickle down to help spread the word on prevention and awareness” said Damell.

The most recent initia-tive that Stevens has tak-en to highlight its com-

mitment to equality of opportunity and its intol-erance of discrimination is the “It’s On Us” video. Students of all different backgrounds were invited to help show that Stevens is a campus that does not accept sexual violence or assault. Athletes, sorority women, fraternity men, and many other student leaders volunteered dur-ing the summer to con-tribute to the brief, yet engaging video. The stu-dents involved speak of the responsibilities they each have in the effort to raise awareness and pre-vent sexual violence in all of its forms.

Stevens Institute of Technology is a univer-sity that strives to pro-mote a fair educational environment for all of its students. It is policies such as Title IX that help protect students of all capacities and promote a community of trust on and off campus grounds. For more information on Stevens’ policy and pro-grams, please visit the website at www.stevens.edu/titleix.

THE 2AM

YOU WON’T REGRETPHONE CALLMAKING

DeBaun Auditorium was nearly packed on Saturday night as members of the Stevens community gath-ered for the third annual Stevens’ Next Best Dance Crew. Hosted by Theta Phi Alpha, the charity event featured several student dance performances. The night opened with a perfor-mance by the sisters of The-ta Phi Alpha, who grooved to early 2000s hits like “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC, and some recent favorites like “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson. Four unique acts

followed, all by Stevens students vying to win the title of Stevens’ Next Best Dance Crew.

Next up was Samantha Martino, a professional dancer and member of the New Jersey Tap Ensemble. Martino put on an authentic tap dancing performance, featuring show music, per-cussion, and an outfit that won her the event’s “Pris-tine Clean” award. Second on the list was The Golden Unicorn, a joint dance crew composed of sisters of Delta Phi Epsilon and brothers of Lambda Upsilon Lambda. The group opened their act with a humorous prologue about a golden unicorn gal-

loping across the sky during a sunset. Their performance showed off paired dance moves, as well as some in unison, to tunes like “Don’t Cha” by the Pussycat Dolls.

The third act was by Ton Duong, a self-taught cho-reographer who demon-strated precise techniques. Duong’s performance was highlighted by his extreme-ly well-timed moves. The way which he was able to match his movements with musical lyrics was as if he was acting out each song rather than dancing to them. The last competi-tion act of the night came from TECHnique, the most dance club on campus.

Aside from the incredible story-telling and wide spec-trum of dance, what made TECHnique’s performance truly amazing was their excellent form as a dance unit.

“Beautiful,” said Angelo Shambilides, Interfrater-nity Conference president and one of the three judges of Saturday’s performanc-es. “The energy gave me a smile on my face and an even brighter smile in my heart.” The crowd must have felt the same way, as every performance was met not just with smiles, but with cheers, applause, and incredible energy from those watching. The lively atmosphere of the event was created not only by the dancers, but the emcees, judges, hosts, and everyone

involved. Theta Phi Alpha donated all the proceeds to the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation, an organiza-tion which aims to find bet-ter treatment options for a rare form of liver cancer.

When asked about what the sisters of Theta Phi Al-pha find special about SN-BDC, organizer Katie Tran said, “Some events feature singers and other perform-ers, but this one features dancers, who aren’t as much of a presence on campus.” The night ended with two guest performanc-es: Luzhen “Spark” Huang; and TJ Stanton and Karo-lina Furdyna in “Shut Up and Ballroom with Me.” Members of the audience were also invited to come onstage and have a dance-off.

Michigan, commuted from home, and done in-ternships in the summer. Regrettable as it may be, however, there is no point trying to think about how things could have been.

The present is what I have to work with, and I in-tend to make the most of it. As for my current sta-tus at Stevens though, it is too late for me and my class to try to change the school to make life better somehow. Trying to ad-dress those problems will fall to the younger gen-erations.

A reaction to Death Cab for Cutie at Madison Square Garden

lost its moral sheen. The public is warier than ever of the downside of scien-tific advances, whether nuclear energy or genetic engineering. Moreover, as modern science has be-

come increasingly institu-tionalized, it has started to resemble a guild that values self-promotion above truth and the com-mon good. Einstein also possessed a moral quality that set him apart even in his own time. According to Robert Oppenheimer, the dark angel of nuclear physics, Einstein exuded

“a wonderful purity at once childlike and pro-foundly stubborn.”

My students give me hope that science has a bright future. But I sus-pect that we will never see Einstein’s like again, be-cause he was the product of a unique convergence of time and temperament. Einstein, incidentally,

didn’t think he lived up to his own reputation. “I am no Einstein,” he once said. On top of all his oth-er qualities, the man was modest.

OpiniOn

“I think the sky’s gonna open up soon.” That was Brendan, looking up at the incredible, but assur-ingly ominous view above Nicole and I from Cooper Square. Our whole after-noon had been marked with that slightly frus-trating on/off drizzle the calm before a storm tends to bring, which clouded what I thought my late walk in Hoboken would be after tonight’s Death Cab for Cutie show.

I have to thank Enter-tainment Committee for the cheap ticket to what was sure to be a heady throwback to my teenage introversion, a hallmark of which included stay-ing up on weekends with albums like Narrow Stairs in my bedroom while watching Red Bank night-life go by. I was already sitting by myself, with a book (Jessica Hopper’s “The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Fe-male Rock Critic”), and listening to some #deep melancholy jams. All I had to do was replace my current stress in find-ing what I’m good at job-wise with stress in finding

what I was good at in the first place, and I’d have that authentic, sixteen-year old experience.

But before all that I had to politely wait through the opener, Explosions in the Sky. I’m admitted-ly not the biggest fan of their post rock-ascribed sound, nor was Stevens Junior Nicole Regenauer, who remarked that she liked instrumental rock with “a little bit more power.” Nonetheless, I

couldn’t help but get into that enveloping, moody tone in between each are-na-shaking thunderclap made by guitarist Munaf Rayani literally punch-ing his instrument. They were a smart choice; not only had the band opened up for Death Cab last time they played MSG—a fact Ben Gibbard had point-ed out while dedicat-ing the indie prom/col-lege open mic standard, “I Will Follow You into the Dark”, to them—but if there were any group whose set would best act as the opening credits to the Sundance roman-tic dramedy that was to follow, it’d be them. It

also didn’t hurt that mo-ments in songs like “The Birth and Death of the Day” must replicate what would happen if you took Plans’s most transcendent moments and slowed them down 400%.

I quickly stopped by the merch stand during the break. Having paid just ten dollars for the ticket, I felt like I could spend like a king... on, like, one t-shirt. We are talking Stevens student spending

here. Senior Kyra Pas-tore expressed a similar sentiment with the non-college student friendly price of beer.

A quick note about MSG itself: the iconic venue is a lot like the standard Chi-nese takeout compound sharing its namesake: it can enhance something you enjoy to such an ex-tent that it can leave all involved bloated in the process. (Case-and-point: while seeing the Strokes here back in 2011, huge set pieces that lit up with each hit with in-your-face guitar levels made a not-so-enthused Julian Casa-blancas more evident.) Thankfully, as soon as

the lights dimmed to the ringing of “No Room in Frame,” lead singer/gui-tarist Ben Gibbard made sure to convey the band’s earnest appreciation, thanking all from general admission to the acropho-bia-inducing nosebleed seats.

Hand-in-hand with these gestures was the power behind the songs themselves. Up-tempo drummer Jason McGerr, featuring cuts like The

Photo Album’s “Why’d You Want to Live Here,” found a new intensity in the arena context. The venue doubly provided space for fleshed-out, graver tunes like the new-er “Black Sun”. Tracks from Narrow Stairs were a particular hit with Ste-vens students, with Kyra remarking how “I Will Possess Your Heart”, a “throwback” of hers, had a “fun, live sound.” Ju-nior Miranda Rohn ap-preciated “Cath…” along-side the aforementioned “I Will Follow You into the Dark,” which she felt was “very intimate” to the point of almost mak-ing her “tear up because

of all the memories asso-ciated” with it. The rest of the crowd was simi-larly receptive, most au-dibly with fans blaring their tortured MySpace-era hearts to singles like “Soul Meets Body.” (Plans recently celebrated its tenth anniversary, a fact for those who needed another “holy crap it’s 2015” moment.)

This engaging reception was made easier by the band’s accessible catalog,

marked by what Gibbard referred to while once de-scribing “You Are a Tour-ist” as “a series of affir-mations in an otherwise dark and cruel world.” Whether it’s Transatlanti-cism’s strive for direction in long distance connec-tions or Kintsugi’s pro-cessing of a breakup, the band’s effortlessness in expressing their own ex-periences in a universal, yet still genuine fashion was on full display. As Nicole explained in her personal connection with “Tourist,” “it’s kind of telling all the small-town kids that there are better places than their home-town,” alluding to how

her adolescence mirrored the lyrics: “If you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born then it’s time to go / And define your destination / There’s so many different places to call home.” Whether you’re looking for some-one to emote what you’re feeling without saying it, a shoulder to cry on in less-than-stellar times, or a silver lining in a stormy environment, the most poignant comfort is also the most accessible.

So, when the band came back for an en-core consisting of “Pas-senger Seat”, “Marching Bands of Manhattan” (of course), and the title track to Transatlanticism, the latter’s crying out of “I need you so much closer” didn’t just gain its rever-berance through the mas-sive speaker set-up nor the voices of hundreds, but through the liberation of a collective “oh, you feel like this too?”, bring-ing the show to a cathar-tic end that can inspire a thousand Arcade Fires.

In the distorted after-math, an overjoyed audi-ence took to public tran-sit. And, in what can be a) a recreation of the events detailed in their closing song, b) a natural em-bodiment of what many people feel like after spin-ning a Death Cab record, or c) a perfectly timed co-incidence that made this almost too easy to wrap up, it started to rain. To paraphrase, the show let out and the clouds above opened up.

Movies have always been very impactful in the fash-ion world. Whether they are boasting the latest trends or setting them, they provide a huge outlet for fashion inspi-ration. This summer’s most fashionable film is, with-out a doubt, Guy Ritchie’s spy thriller, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., staring Alicia Vikander, Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer. Behind the scenes is costumer designer Joanna Johnston, whose

work can be seen in other big blockbusters like Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Saving Private Ryan, and Forrest Gump. This time she channels the simple yet bold fashions of 1960s Russia to create looks that are both classic and current.

In a Vogue interview, Johnston reveals that her in-spiration came mostly from 1960s Vogue magazine is-sues as well as ‘60s celebrity sweethearts Marisa Beren-son and Jean Shrimpton. What I love most about the U.N.C.L.E. styles, however, is that none of the pieces worn by the actors would look out of place on the streets today.

The styles of Alicia Vikan-der’s character, Gaby Teller, are what really caught my eye. Gaby rarely wears any-thing other than shift mini dresses in A-line cuts with high, round necklines. She wears bright colors in either

bold print or geometric col-orblock patterns. My favor-ite is the wool, orange, and cream camo playsuit she wears with white, ‘60s cir-cle earrings. Unfortunately, most of Gaby’s outfits were made one-of-a-kind for the film, but with a bit of fashion sleuthing it’s not too hard to find something similar.

Bloomingdale’s exclusive brand, Aqua, has a ton of dresses that would be per-fect for a Gaby-inspired look. I especially love their Bamboo Print Sleeveless A-Line and Textured Color Block dresses. Modcloth is a neat brand that actually al-lows you to shop for styles based on what decade of fashion you’re interested in. The Choose Your Words Cheerfully dress is definite-ly something Gaby would wear in U.N.C.L.E. For bud-get shopping, Forever 21 is one of the best places to get

hot trends for less. Look for simple, structured dresses in bold prints and colors at any of these places.

Just as fun as her clothes are Gaby’s accessories. She wears retro-inspired Marni earrings that feature a big chunky circle and bright, solid colors. Etsy is a great place to find mod ‘60s ear-rings for less. She also sports some pretty big and round House of Holland sunglass-es. Forever 21 has an entire section for round, ultra mod sunglasses to complete your look.

Gaby’s foil is the femme fatale Victoria Vinciguerra, played by the equally gor-geous Elizabeth Debicki. She dresses in head-to-toe back and white, not unlike Cruella de Vil, but with sig-nificantly more style and jewelry. Her outfits flow off her body and feature high-necked jeweled col-

lars, bold geometric patterns and vintage Versace heads-carves. Although Debicki plays a billionaire on screen, her style isn’t attainable for broke college students. Look for long dresses, jumpsuits, and poncho sweaters in black and white patterns. Lulu’s has a great selection for black and white dress-es, and I adore the ASOS Halter Playsuit with Mono Scallop Embellishment for a fancy night out Victoria Vinciquerra-style. Her look

isn’t complete without ac-cessories. Most notably she is seen in long, gold chain necklaces, jeweled collars and cat-eye sunglasses. All of these things can be found at Forever21, H&M or other costume jewelry stores for less.

Whether you’re more of a Gaby or a Victoria, the girls from U.N.C.L.E. know how to dress your best. Try add-ing a mod ‘60s flare to your current wardrobe and go see the movie too!

Top Five Reasons We Named Peaches our September Superfood

by Alexa McDonald, RD, CDNCampus Dietitian

Every month Stevens Dining features a healthy food as our “Superfood of the Month.” Whether it’s used as an ingredient in multiple dishes, featured in a Dietitian’s event, or simply just made available in the dining hall for everyone to enjoy, this feature is a great way to get delicious and nutritious foods into the minds of the college community. Really, a lot of foods can be labeled as Superfoods, which is just another term for a whole food with a lot of nutrition and a reasonable number of calories, but only some make our list. With summer coming to a close and Fall just around the corner, what better fruit to feature in September than peaches? Here are the top 5 reasons peaches made our list:

1. One cup or one whole peach provides 10% of your daily fiber and plenty of potassium and vitamin A and C for only 60-70 calories.

2. Bursting with disease-fighting antioxidants, like carotenoids and flavonoids, peaches have shown to help lower blood pressure and heart disease risk.

3. From July to September, peaches can be purchased locally in New Jersey at farmer’s markets and grocery stores, often allowing for a fresher and cheaper option!

4. Grilled, baked, pureed, or chopped, this versatile fruit can add flavor and nutrition to a variety of meals:

• Chopped for salad, chutney or salsa, fruit-infused water, low-fat yogurt, and as a pancake or waffle topper

• Baked in muffins, breads, and fruit pies

• Pureed into smoothies or soups• Grilled and topped with Greek yogurt,

sour cream, or ice cream for a light, simple dessert

5. This may be obvious but lets be honest, peaches are delicious. Store in the fridge for up to a week or no more than 2 days on the counter to ensure the perfect amount of ripeness.

This past Monday, we featured our Grilled Peach Dessert in Pierce Dining Hall. Try it at home by lightly grilling or pan-frying peach halves to your desired softness and top with 1/2 cup low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp low-fat granola, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Enjoy!

SSI – Stevens Institute of Technology women’s tennis sophomore Katrina Guido was named Empire 8 Conference player of the week Monday, after lead-ing the Ducks to a pair of weekend wins.

The honor is the first of

the season for Stevens ten-nis.

Guido went a combined 4-0 at singles and doubles this weekend in E8 wins over Alfred University and St. John Fisher College. Both singles wins came handily in two sets, while

the doubles wins came by scores of 8-1 and 8-2. With the wins, the Ducks extend-ed their win streak to three.

Guido and the Ducks will return to the courts Satur-day for an E8 showdown with Ithaca College at 12 p.m. in Hoboken.

SSI – While most col-lege students use summer to relax, Stevens Institute of Technology women’s basketball senior Dylan Krause spent nearly a month studying abroad in India.

Krause, who finished studying abroad in the middle of August, was able to answer a few questions her time in India.

Patrick Duffy: What is your field of study here at Stevens, and what drew you to that field?

Dylan Krause: At Stevens I am majoring in chemical biology. After graduating in May I hope to pursue a career in medicine which is where my interest chem-istry and biology stems from.

PD: Out of the all the study abroad options Ste-vens has to offer, what made you choose India?

DK:The study abroad of-fice offers a variety of pro-grams and destinations. I chose India because I knew it would be unlike any place I had been be-fore and it would be an opportunity to experience a new culture. The area of study for this program was rural and public health which also encouraged me

to choose this program be-cause I am very interested in this topic.

PD: How long did you study abroad for?

DK: The program was four weeks long, from July 18- August 15 and I was staying in Malavli, which is a small village in Eastern India near Pune.

PD: What was the big-

gest obstacle you had to overcome during the trip?

DK:The biggest obstacle I had to overcome during the trip was being a veg-etarian for the duration of the program. Being an ath-lete, I often have chicken or beef on a regular basis. At first, this was a diffi-cult adjustment because I found myself feeling weak

and fatigued throughout the day. By the end of the trip however I adjusted to the food they served and en-joyed all of the meals I had there. With that being said, my first meal when I got back to the states was still a hamburger and I did not continue being a vegetarian once I returned.

PD: What parts of the trip

did you enjoy the most?DK: The part of the trip I

enjoyed the most was trav-eling with a mobile health van. The van would go to various rural villages and distribute medicine for free to the people living in these areas. While on these trips with the van I was able to assist taking blood pres-sures, observe the doctor di-

agnosis patients, and during breaks was allowed to play with the children in these villages.

PD: What did you do during any free/down time while abroad?

DK: During my free time I tried to travel to other cities in India to do some sightsee-ing. I was able to visit Mum-bai, Pune, New Delhi, and

Agra. In Agra, I had the op-portunity to see the Taj Ma-hal which is an absolutely breathtaking structure.

PD: Was there a big dif-ference in the language bar-rier, if so, how did you man-age to break the barrier?

DK: The language barrier was not as difficult to deal with as I thought it would be. Most Indians spoke Eng-

lish very well because they are taught English in school. For those who did not speak English, I would try to use simple words or hand ges-tures to communicate and this would solve the prob-lem. Overall, communica-tion was not huge obstacle.

PD: If you could pick an-other destination, where would you want to study abroad/travel to next?

DK: If I had the opportu-nity to study abroad again I would try and do the se-mester at sea program. I think this would be a great program because you get to go to a variety of coun-tries over the course of a semester rather than re-maining in one city the whole time.

PD: Where else have you traveled either for fun or to study abroad?

DK: I have done a good deal of traveling through-out my life before going to India. I have been to Eng-land, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Mexico, Canada, and Jamaica. The trip to Jamaica was a week-long mission trip I went on four years ago and the others were family trips.

PD: What advice do you have for people to want to get into your field of study?

SSI – Freshman Zisi Komar of the Stevens Institute of Technology women’s soccer team claimed Empire 8 Con-ference Offensive Player of the Week honors Mon-day.

Komar, who was also named Offensive Most Valuable Player of the 12th Annual Engineering Cup, tallied three goals on 11 shots to help Ste-vens go 2-1 last week.

Against Mount Saint Mary College Wednes-day, the San Diego, Ca-lif. native came off the bench to score the first two goals of her college

career in a 4-0 win over the Knights. On Satur-day, Komar headed home a cross from senior Carly Bean with 1:24 to go in double overtime to give the Ducks a 2-1 lead. She also led the team with eight shots.

Komar is tied with teammate Raba Nassif for the E8 lead in goals (3), seventh in shots (13) and tied for fifth in points (6).

The Ducks are back in action Saturday when they take on Houghton College at 1 p.m. at the DeBaun Athletic Com-plex.

SSI – Stevens Institute of Technology men’s soccer senior Colin Phillips con-nected on the game-win-ning goal late in the second half Sunday, to lead the No. 21 Ducks to a 1-0 win over No. 15 Muhlenberg College

After a Muhlenberg foul, Phillips sent a free-kick curving past the goalie for the score in the 83rd minute. With the win, Ste-vens moved to 3-1, while Muhlenberg dropped to 1-3.

As a team, the Ducks tal-lied 11 shots to the Mules three while recording five more corner kicks. Junior Mike Renna made one save in net for his 12th career shutout.

Defense dominated on both sides of the match with the first shot of the game coming in the 30th minute from senior Harrison Kane.

Phillips unleashed one of his own five minutes later before Muhlenberg keep-er Jordan Schreer made

the save to keep the game scoreless.

The Ducks last oppor-tunity of the half came in

41st minute off a shot from senior Joe Cellitti, however like Kane’s before him, the ball sailed high over the net.

Despite the scoring drought though, the Ducks defense held the Mules shot-less while only allowing one corner-kick in the first half.

The deadlock continued through the start of the second before the Ducks ripped-off a trio of shots in the 78th minute that failed to reach the back of the net. Muhlenberg answered with pressure of its own, how-ever Stevens extinguished the threat, leading to the go-ahead goal in the 82nd minute for Phillips.

The Mules were able to respond to the deficit with a header in the 88th minute, however Renna easily cor-ralled the slow-moving ball to preserve the win.

The Ducks will return to the pitch Wednesday with a 4 p.m. match at Vassar Col-lege.
