After the first week of in-person classes, the College took another step towards normalcy by hosting its annual fall Student Involvement Fair on Sept. 2 at Lions Field. The College recognizes more than 230 clubs and organizations which include academic and career organizations, club sports, Greek life, advocacy organizations and more.
Ever since I was a child, I loved reading books. I would always bring multiple books with me on vacation or request as many books as I could carry from my town’s library whenever I was home for winter break. When I first saw “The Invisible Life of Addie Larue” on the Book of the Month instagram account, I was immediately drawn to the novel, not only because of the beautiful, simplistic cover, but because of the book’s unique concept.
The Gilded Age is a name that describes the fast economic growth in the United States during the late nineteenth century. It carries a double meaning, as gilded also means to thinly veil with gold and luxury. Essentially, the glitz and glamour covered up the millions of impoverished immigrants left to struggle to survive. While not so dire, LANY’s (an acronym for Los Angeles New York) new album “gg bb xx” is a hole of uninspiredness covered with suede and LED lights.
The strict prohibition of on-campus activities last year left students at the College with nowhere to socialize or escape the burnout of online classes. With the College reopening this semester, things are looking up in the social atmosphere; something crucial to the college experience.
The year is 2015. You just got back from another stressful day of your freshman year of high school, throw your backpack on the floor and escape to your bedroom sanctuary as soon as possible. You plug in your dollar store earbuds and load up YouTube, melting away into the edge and fantasy that is Halsey’s “Badlands.”
Mainstream music may crowd top-hit playlists and play repeatedly on the radio, but new up-and-coming artists from time to time break away from the norm, letting their creativity and originality shine. Patrick Shafer — a senior biology major who goes by the stage name Pat for Now — is a prime example.
Since campus closed in March, we have all been living in uncharted territory. At The Signal, this has shed a light on the long-overdue necessity for a total rebrand of our newsroom culture, our mission to serve the community and how that mission is conveyed to our readership.
The 2021 United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on the physical science explaining climate change, which was just released last month, indicated two expected changes in Eastern North America (including New Jersey): very likely increases in mean (average) and extreme (storm) rainfall; and likely increase in flooding related to both rivers rising and rainfall. Last week, we experienced pretty convincing evidence of both. In fact, Ida was the fourth tropical system to affect New Jersey this season, which is an unprecedented amount of tropical influence for the Garden State’s weather. As the IPCC report also documents, we can put to rest any doubt about whether climate change is occurring; it is.
In his first public remark since the fall of Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, President Joe Biden largely ignored his administration’s grave miscalculations of the Taliban’s ability to rapidly overthrow the Afghan government. Instead, the president focused on the obvious — he inherited a difficult situation and had to make a decision in the best interest of the American people. Biden said he had two options: withdraw from the nearly two-decade-long war or continue to fight an unwinnable conflict.
April 30 marked 100 days since President Biden was sworn in, and I think it’s fair to reflect on what he has done thus far. Before I give my perspective, it is only fair that I explain what my perspective is. I am a believer in democracy in the workplace, which means workers should either be at or share the helm of the business they work for. I supported Bernie Sanders in 2020. That being said, let’s dive in. I will be dividing his actions into three categories: the pandemic, domestic policy and foreign policy.
Now that New Jersey has taken steps to legalize marijuana, there is a proper procedure the state should take to integrate the drug on college campuses.

The once-barren campus of the College was alive again with the start of the school's annual Welcome Week for first-year students, occurring from Aug. 26-30. This commemoration was canceled last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but was in full effect for 2021. Since they missed out on the traditional experience, sophomores were also given a Welcome Week, which spanned from Aug. 28-29, overlapping the two classes' events.

On Aug. 30, Israel has brokered a multifaceted deal with Palestine, according to AP. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and drafted the two-part agreement which yielded two major outcomes: a $155 million loan and a promise to “resolve the residency status” of around 5,000 families residing in the war-torn Israeli-occupied West Bank.
On Aug. 17, Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released a statement highly critical of President Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, and announced an investigation into the Administration’s strategic and logistical failures which led to the collapse of the country to Taliban forces on Aug. 15.
In just a little over a week, the Taliban has swiftly taken complete control over Afghanistan, causing millions throughout the country to flee their homes and seek safety outside of the borders. The Taliban has terrorized the population for decades, but escaping their power is as urgent as ever due to the Aug. 31 deadline for U.S troops to leave the country. According to CNBC, 48,000 people have been evacuated since Aug. 14, and placed in temporary locations including U.S camps throughout the Middle East and Europe.
House Democrats attempted to overcome division over President Biden’s agenda during a debate on Aug. 23 and 24 before members of Congress returned to their districts for a week. The main concern of the debate is trying to fix the stalemate between the progressives and moderates of the majority party.
