GT Staff: Grace Perez Ever since she was 15 years

GT Staff: Grace Perez

Ever since she was 15 years old writing song lyrics on napkins during high school, Taylor Swift has shown the world her immense talent and business skills. Owning her music is important to her, to any artist really. This desire to own her own art has brought her to where are today: the rerecordings of her old albums. But why is she rerecording?
————————————————————
Who is Taylor Swift?
Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989. At the age of 10, Swift began singing at local events. At 11 years old, she performed the “Star-Spangled Banner” at a Philadelphia 76ers game, and at 12, she began writing and learning guitar. Swift’s family moved to Nashville to help her pursue her musical career. After performing at the Bluebird Cafe, Swift was offered a contract with Scott Borcheta’s Big Machine Records. Her first single “Tim McGraw” was released in 2006 and the rest is history.
————————————————————
Why is Taylor Swift Rerecording?
In 2018, Swift’s contract with her label Big Machine expired. She then decided to switch to Universal Republic Records. However, according to their contract, while Swift might own the lyrics and sheet music, Big Machine owns the masters otherwise known as the recordings being sold on Apple Music, Spotify, or any other listening platform.

GT Staff: Haresh Oudhnarine

Students expressed multiple concerns at the recent University Senate meeting ranging from campus dining, communication issues, meeting organization and productivity, campus safety, rain damage to dorms, faulty fire alarms, and more.
—————————————————————
Khadija Diop, a student senator-at-large, said, “NJCU could do so much better for their students, and we need to fix the big gap in communication if we want more student engagement and feedback because how can we expect students to stay in the school that doesn’t give them the information or respond to their needs? We can’t.”
—————————————————————
Thyquel Halley, the president of the Student Government Association (SGA), spoke about a recent survey sent to students about Gourmet Dining food concerns. He said that there were over 400 responses and that SGA met with Ed Mallaney, the director of Gourmet Dining, to discuss what students reported, which included undercooked chicken and other issues.
—————————————————————
Issues with Communication —————————————————————
Laney Fox, a student senator-at-large, said that the faculty Senate meetings need to be more organized. Fox said, “As a collective group, we are frustrated with the way individuals conduct themselves on these meetings. It is important to understand that our goal is to make this university a better environment and experience for students, faculty, and staff. As the Senate of NJCU, we cannot be a productive governing body if we are making personal attacks and screaming at each other.”
—————————————————————
Diop highlighted communication issues within the Senate and the university as a whole. Diop said, “For the past two Senate meetings, there has been a great amount of disorganization that could be resolved if we planned a little bit more ahead. There is no reason why a senate meeting should be interrupted for people to decide on meeting formats and voting formats and whether we have a chat. These are things that should———Check out the full article on our website www.GothicTimes.net or on the College News Source app!

GT Staff: Melina Quispe @urgurl.meli Laura Busta

GT Staff: Melina Quispe @urgurl.meli

Laura Bustamante is a Latinx woman who is the chief of staff for Jersey City Councilman James Solomon. Bustamante is not only a leader on Solomon’s team but also an NJCU alumni and a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
——————————————————————
Bustamante is an inspiration to a lot of Latinx women. Especially, since there are not many Latinx women in politics who hold leadership positions. Bustamante is also an inspiration to the LBGTQ+ community because she has worked on the gender-neutral bathroom ordinance that passed in Downtown Jersey City recently.
——————————————————————
James Solomon and Laura Bustamante have been helping residents living in Ward E for four years now. They have come up with policies that Laura will get into later in this interview. These are a few questions and answers that I hope will inspire other Latinx students at NJCU to become strong and passionate leaders. This is an interview I had with Laura Bustamante in August 2021.
