RU-N It Back to the 2000s
The Norman Samuels Plaza was filled with high energy, music, and carnival food last Thursday night.
The student-lead triad that is the Media Committee ( , , and The Observer) organized the festivities in what was touted to be “a revival of student life on campus.” The night featured nostalgic music from the 2000s provided by three heavy hitting DJs: DJHarm, KilSoSouth, and JhasirPOW.
The event allowed both Rutgers and Non-Rutgers students to come together for a night of games, food, and socializing. Students were able to get a variety of food, drinks, and sweet treats, including funnel cakes, just by checking in with either their student ID or negative covid test (or proof of vaccination) and flashing tickets to the vendors.
A photobooth was provided right across from an caricature setup for all to enjoy. In the back, there was a sports game themed blow-up – modeled after football, baseball, and basketball – and even giant Jenga and an Avengers pinball machine. Overall, it was an intense and fun party vibe.

Picture a crowd converging on each other, derogatory words being shouted, rioters taking over media equipment, flags being used as weapons, tear gas being thrown, and chaos raging on a day a peaceful march was to occur. This is what we know today as the Jan. 6 insurrection. Seasoned journalist, Thomas Costello, who recently received the ‘Courage under fire’ award for his bravery, was amid it all. In an interview with our Copywriter, he recounted the experience and gave advice for upcoming journalists.

The most common pet question asked is, “Are you a cat or dog person?” While many believe the answer comes down to preference, your response reflects biases in your personality.
Clean water is a human right. We will be collecting water over the next few weeks to give out to the local community. As the lead crisis continues this is important as we take a stance for the members of our community that are in Newark and of Newark.
