RUSA meeting covers aid for college tuition By Alex Meier Associate News Editor
Eighty percent of Rutgers students receive state or federal aid, a statistic that spurred a conversation about the affordability of higher education at last night’s Rutgers University Student Assembly meeting in the Student Activities Center on the College Avenue campus. Justin Habler, legislative and governing affairs chair for New Jersey United Students, and Marios Athanasiou, president of New Jersey United Students, presented NJUS’s Higher State Appropriates Campaign. The campaign focuses on urging the state of New Jersey to allocate more funding to higher education. Gov. Chris Christie drafts New Jersey’s budget, several state committees draft their own budget bills, and the final version of the bill needs to be ratified by state legislative bodies. NJUS plans to draft their own version of the bill. Habler, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said in terms of funding for higher education, New Jersey places 48th out of the 50 states. Yet according to an NJUS research study, New Jersey has a $1.5 billion surplus in its See rusa on Page 5

U. marching band prepares for Super Bowl By Adam Uzialko Staff Writer
The Rutgers Marching Band and the Syracuse University Marching Band plans to perform alongside each other for the first time at Sunday’s Super Bowl. Ever since the rumor emerged that the University marching band would be performing at the game, Paul Nalesnik, instructor and arranger of the drum line has had his work cut out for him.
“There was a rumor [floating around] at first but nobody knew what was going to happen in terms of what we were going to play, how we were going to play or who we were going to play with,” he said. Nalesnik, a Mason Gross School of the Arts junior, said he has been working with Syracuse Band Director Justin Mertz to coordinate the simultaneous performance the two bands plan to give during the Super Bowl pre-game show.
It has been a challenge coordinating things not only because of the distance between the two schools, but because it has come at the beginning of the semester when many of the band members are busy, he said. When people are missing, there are no substitutes. Instead, Nalesnik said the band has to work around the space that an absentee would be taking up during the performance. This makes learning the precise steps of the performance a bit harder.
Despite the obstacles they have faced, Nalesnik said he was confident in both bands’ abilities to deliver. “On the field there’s going to be one huge duel in the back,” he said. “It should be really cool, we’ll be splitting the field.” The exact pieces that plan to be played are being kept under wraps, but he said he hopes for it to be a rousing medley of tunes from artSee superbowl on Page 5
‘Girl Code’ artist performs stand-up comedy show Scholar to visit Cambridge for graduate study By Connie Capone Staff Writer
Nicole Byer of MTV’s “Girl Code” spoke last night about relationships, racial stereotypes and weight loss, shedding a comedic light on these common themes of womanhood, marking her four th stand-up comedy performance. “Girl Code” is a female-driven comedy series, which brings viewers a series of over-the-top tips to open a dialogue about life as a woman, according to MTV’s website. The series features female stand-up comics, actresses and musicians to talk about womanhood. Byer visited Rutgers Univer-
sity as par t of “An Evening with Nicole Byer,” which was hosted by the Rutgers University Programming Association last night in the Rutgers Student Center on the College Avenue campus. Nearly an hour before the event, the room was filled to capacity with students awaiting the per formance. Alice Wetterlund, another comedian on “Girl Code,” originally planned to per form with Byer, but was replaced by stand-up comedian Emily Heller because Wetterlund booked a second job.

Fresh Grocer to no longer remain open 24 hours By Vaishali Gauba Correspondent
Much to the disappointment of New Brunswick residents and Rutgers students, the Fresh Grocer no longer plans to be open 24 hours. The supermarket that remained open 24 hours even on holidays, for more than a year,
plans to now be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., according to a New Brunswick Today article. The Fresh Grocer, located on Kirkpatrick Street, was New Brunswick’s only 24-hour supermarket and implemented the change beginning Jan. 26. The store sold its brand name to Wakefern Food Corporation, the larg-
est Retailers’ co-operative group of supermarkets in the United States. Wakefern Food Corpration not only introduced ShopRite products in the store, but also enforced the new operating hours. The new hours “are better suited to the neighborhood and the times at which our customers are working and
commuting via the nearby train station,” said Wakfern Food Corporation’s spokeswoman Santina Stankevich, in the article. Stankevich said no employees were laid off due to the changes in time and the store employed “more than 200 associates” as of November.
David Kolchmeyer, one of the only 14 annual Winston Churchill Scholarship recipients in the country, said he looks forward to taking part in the Cambridge Supersymmetry Working Group, where experimentalists and theorists collaborate to investigate supersymmetry. The physics student has been awarded the scholarship, listed as one of the nation’s top three most prestigious and honorable academic awards, according to the Winston Churchill Foundation website, to use for graduate study at England’s University of Cambridge. Kolchmeyer said he plans to further his education in a graduate program for applied mathematics and theoretical physics at Cambridge, one of the oldest universities in the world. “Applying for the Winston Churchill Scholarship seemed like a total reach.

“Targum” is an Aramaic term for “interpretation.” The name for the University’s daily paper came to be after one of its founding members heard the term during a lecture by then-Rutgers President William H. Campbell. On Jan. 29, 1869, more than 140 years ago, the Targum — then a monthly publication, began to chronicle Rutgers history and has become a fixture in University tradition. The Targum began publishing daily in 1956 and gained independence from the University in 1980. RECOGNITION For years, the Targum has been among the most prestigious newspapers in the country. Last year, these awards included placing first in the Associated Collegiate Press National College Newspaper Convention Best of Show award category for four-year daily newspapers.

Paul McManamon, former president of the International Society for Optics and Photonics, or SPIE, talked about future and past applications of laser radar at a lecture yesterday. About twenty Rutgers students and faculty members attended the event in the Computing Research and Engineering Building on Busch campus led by McManamon, currently a chief scientist at SPIE. The Rutgers Photonics Club invited McManamon as the guest speaker for its “First Annual Invited Lecturer Series.” Rose Soskind, a member of SPIE, said the instructional event was important to encourage students to adopt a more professional approach toward science. Photonics is the science of light and a field with contributions and applications in many disciplines, including biotechnology, electrical engineering and material science, according to the SPIE webiste. “Students don’t have to wait until college to start a career

ists like Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Frank Sinatra and Jay-Z. “The Super Bowl people told us that they wanted [to add] New York and New Jersey flair to the show so … Mertz and I came up with the arrangements,” Nalesnik said. Tim Smith, the director of athletic bands, said his role as director is to help tie all the moving parts of the performance into one cohesive group. “My goal is to bring everything together,” he said. “I’m kind of like the head coach for the band.” Smith said the performance is elaborate, and the challenge of coordinating something so robust with another school over a distance of 250 miles is daunting. “The biggest challenge is going to be timing,” he said. “There are two huge bands that have never played [with one another] coming together for the first time on Sunday before the game.” Even so, Smith said the bands understood each other from so far away with an exceptional ease. “It’s amazing how … the bands speak the languages all the same,” Smith said. “The movements have some stylistic differences that are small but, well — it’s a small world is what I’m trying to say.” Smith said he is hopeful the bands can be the centerpiece of the opening shot for Fox’s pregame coverage.
“What we’re hoping is … that the opening shot on Fox is of the field and the bands will still be on the field finishing up our show,” he said. “There can be no guarantee.” Another matter that has no guarantees, Smith said, was what the outcome of the Super Bowl might be, but he did offer his prediction. Kevin Lu, the treasurer of Rutgers University Ballroom, said the club is excited to be attending the halftime show at the big game. Last year, the club placed second in nationals. “This is something very exciting,” Lu, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said. “But there’s a very strict confidentiality notice that they made us sign.” The agreement stated that, if broken, the offending party could be disbarred from participation, he said. Lu said he could not offer any further comments other than the fact that Rutgers University Ballroom should be present. Smith said the band was unfazed by absentees during the rehearsal process because it is an uncommon hurdle to come across for marching bands, Smith said. “I think [the performance] is going to be great. Everyone is excited and I’ve been talking daily to the band director [at Syracuse] about what we’re doing at rehearsals so we’re on the same page,” he said. “I anticipate nothing but greatness when those two groups come together.”

budget, money that can easily be reinvested in higher education. “The way we see it, higher education is not just philosophically the right thing to invest in — it is financially the right thing to invest in,” he said. “It actually would end up increasing the state revenue as well.” Habler said he believes student involvement can make this change happen, and cited NJUS’s success in campaigning for the InState Tuition Act as a testament to student power. “The best advocates for any issue are the people affected by it,” he said. After the presentation, RUSA voted to approve a bill to begin a campaign for higher state appropriations for higher education in New Jersey. This mandates that RUSA commit to advocating, researching, publicizing and providing funding for the cause. Yet Alexander Uematsu, a Livingston campus representative who presented the bill, said these funds must ensure an accessible and affordable education for all New Jerseyans. Therefore, RUSA plans to campaign to institute a tuition freeze at Rutgers and across the state. “Obviously, if they just appropriate more money to the University, that doesn’t mean its actually going to increase the affordability and accessibility of higher education,” said Uematsu, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student.
In addition to tuition affordability, RUSA voted to approve a bill that addressed campus safety. Michael Martinez, a Cook campus representative, said in the past year, 339 crimes were committed in at Rutgers — 234 that occurred off campus and 15 that occurred on campus. Breaking down these crimes, 78 were theft, 12 were harassment, six were for DWIs, 14 were assault and two were aggravated sexual assaults. “Whether you’re on or off campus, students shouldn’t be afraid of being a victim of crime. It’s unacceptable,” said Martinez, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student. The bill addressed campus use of blue lights, student safety whistles and building swipe access. Amendments were added for RUSA to call upon local law enforcement to keep students safe, including those who live off campus, and to work with the Department of Public Safety to study and implement ways to help protect students. RUSA announced that it plans to form an athletic committee in correspondence with Julie Hermann to ensure that student athletes remain involved in the community and in the Athletic Department’s decision-making processes. Pavel Sokolov, president of RUSA, said the student assembly also plans to sponsor transgender advocate and “Orange is the New Black” actress Laverne Cox to speak at this year’s Mark Conference.

forming impressions of her mother and making jokes about her home life as a child. Heller gradually got her star t in comedy by taking a stand-up class in college and later par ticipating in local open-mic nights. At the age of 11, she asked her father what was in the scrambled eggs he made for breakfast. When he told her oregano, she took a small tub of oregano, taped a string to it and wore it as a necklace. “I was never bullied in school,” Heller said. “The cool kids wrote backhanded comments in my yearbook like ‘I just love how you don’t care what anybody thinks about you,’” she said. Heller, who recently moved to New York, said it has been a tough transition. “I found myself saying ‘gee, nobody spit on me today.’” Julia Taylor, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences first-year student, said
she found out about the comedy per formance during a Rutgers University Programming Association-sponsored ice-skating event in the Douglass Campus Center. “I watch ‘Girl Code’ all the time, and I know Nicole Byer will say a lot of hilarious things,” she said. “I love when she makes jokes about her personal life.” Paige Grecco, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences first-year student, said she found out about the event through RUPA’s Facebook announcements. “I was definitely upset that Alice Wetterlund wouldn’t be at the show, but I know it’ll still be great,” she said. Grecco said her favorite recurring joke from Byer is her “is that weird?” segment, where she details something strange that she does and questions its normalcy. Byer said she rode first class on a plane recently, which made her feel famous.
If Byer won the honor of meeting Beyoncé, she said she would give her a hug and tell her that she loves her. “I wouldn’t cr y because that’s weird,” she said. “She’s just a person.” She landed her role on “Girl Code” after coming back from a college tour and simply auditioning for it, Byer said. She got the job because of her loud and opinionated personality. The show empowered her to share her opinions with an audience. Heller’s favorite thing about being on Girl Code is the women she works with. “All these girls are so talented,” she said. “I hate when people say women aren’t funny because the ladies I work with are hilarious.” Byer said her inspiration for her comedy routines come from her daily life. “Simple things make me laugh so that’s what I share with people,” she said. She tends to get stage fright before shows because she does not view herself as a stand-up comic, Byer said “I feel like ‘Girl Code’ is more like girl suggestions,” Heller said. “The things that are said shouldn’t be completely taken at face value because a lot of it is just based on humor.”

Goldwater Scholarship last year for excellence in mathematics, science and engineering. The Churchill Scholarship is especially significant because in addition to tuition money, he also plans to become par t of a respected academic program in England, Kolchmeyer said. The award has only been won three times by students from the University since 1963, according to the website, when the award first originated. Ar thur Casciato, the director of the University’s Of fice of Distinguished Fellowships, said Kolchmeyer’s accomplishment puts Rutgers in a similar league to other leading universities.
“David is a shining example of how good the science program, faculty and students are at Rutgers,” Casciato said. “You can tell the quality of education by the surrounding competition. David’s success places Rutgers with leading universities like Harvard, Princeton and the University of Wisconsin.” Kolchmeyer said he is grateful for the University faculty and resources that have helped him along the way. His Current research advisor, Professor Amitbah Lath, and former undergraduate advisor, Professor Mohan Kalelkar, have both witnessed his growth as a student. “David has been a superb physics major, among the ver y best we have had in our program over the years,” Kalelkar said. “Therefore, I actually authorized him to take graduate physics courses star ting in his junior year, and he hugely excelled in them.” Like all other students, he experienced challenging moments, setbacks and spent long and dif ficult hours in the

University scuba divers experience Bahamas waters By Sabrina Szteinbaum Correspondent
The Rutgers Scuba Divers explored the waters of the Bahamas for a week during winter break, when a group of undergraduates, graduates, doctoral students and a couple of post doctoral students visited the Exuma islands. Debby Miller, scuba coordinator for Rutgers Recreation, said along with 20 divers and three instructors, she flew from Newark, N.J. to Nassau, Bahamas for the trip. The par ticipants included a diverse group of students, from those with no experience to those who were becoming cer tified scuba divers, she said. “We actually had a couple of people who signed up for the trip … and then realized they needed to learn to dive, so they took dive courses here with us earlier in the semester … and then got a chance to go diving in the ocean,” Miller said. Students saw sharks, eagle rays, stingrays, schools of parrotfish and a variety of hard and soft coral, she said. “We also got a chance to get in three night dives,” she said. “We were able to see the reef at night, so we were able to see lobsters and some of the ecosystems that happen at night because it’s dif ferent at night.” Seeing the students really in awe of the aquatic environment
was an amazing experience, Miller said. The group had the oppor tunity to see an under water plane wreckage and how crustaceans like crabs and lobsters made the wreckage into a home, she said. Rutgers Recreation offers scuba lessons at Werblin Recreation Center for $325, which are all-inclusive — meaning that price covers equipment, training and scuba certification, Miller said. Ashley So, a School of Engineering senior who went on the trip, said she has been meaning to get her scuba cer tification since she got to Rutgers. She has snorkeled a number of times in the Caribbean, but she said scuba diving exposed her to a whole new world. “The feeling of weightlessness [is] completely indescribable,” she said in an email. “Beneath the sur face, there are enormous reefs of all dif ferent shapes and sizes, schools of color ful, vibrant fish and the most unbelievable creatures.” The highlights of the trip were seeing a hammerhead shark while diving at the plane wreck and three sea turtles at the reef, she said. “It was a blast hanging out with the Rutgers Scuba staf f and getting to know current and former Rutgers students,” So said. “The only hitch in the trip was the storm that led to

rough seas and unsafe diving conditions, but that just meant more time for bonding aboard the boat.” Phil Lubik, a School of Engineering senior, said he got involved with this trip because this past summer, he biked from New Jersey to Florida through Dream4TK, a charity that raises money for the Embrace Kids Foundation. “Before I left I was looking up ‘cool things to do in Florida’ to celebrate,” he said in an email. “I saw a lot of beautiful pictures [of] scuba diving and wanted to go but found out I needed to get cer tified.” The next thing he did was contact Miller and got certified, but he never got to dive in Florida because no one else on his trip was certified, Lubik said. After coming home, he looked up other scuba diving opportunities and jumped on the trip to the Bahamas, he said. Even though this was Lubik’s first dive in an open ocean, he said he felt safe. It takes a certain type of student to take up this kind of opportunity. On one of the days, the group was unable to dive but they suited up anyway and went snorkeling, Lubik said. That was the best experience because instead of just calling it a day, they made an oppor tunity out of the situation. “Everyone on the boat likes doing crazy things and exploring the world,” he said.

WEEK IN REVIEW: Laurels and Darts FRATERNITY FUNDRAISING Rutgers University is known for its many fraternities and sororities, but greek life doesn’t always get a good rep. Just this month, the Delta Upsilon Fraternity raised more $14,000 for its charity organization, Global Service Initiative. The money was raised through a meal swipes donation program, where students could donate. We laurel the fraternity for defying stereotypes and for their creative efforts to get the student body involved in raising money for a great cause.

Last week, Professor Robert Trivers was suspended from Rutgers because of his inability to teach a class called “Human Aggression.” Professor Trivers apparently wasn’t qualified to teach the course in the first place since it had nothing to do with his particular field of expertise. However, this dart goes to the University for also suspending him from teaching a social evolution class in which he has decades of experience — as he noted himself, “I don’t want to sound immodest, but I am one of the greatest social theorists of all time.”
NIGHT HOURS NO MORE
PHENOMENAL PHYSICIST
The Fresh Grocer has been the most convenient place for a lot of us to get our groceries at literally any time of day or night, but the store just announced that it is no longer be open 24 hours. We love The Fresh Grocer, but we have to give it this dart for taking away the opportunity to get our milk and eggs whenever we can in between classes, work and extracurricular activities. And hey, if it’s only convenient to go at 3 a.m., we really would appreciate to continue having that option.
Over winter break, one of our faculty members in the Department of Physics got a chance to be a part of the Weather’s Channel popular show, “The Strangest Weather on Earth.” David Maiullo, a lab support specialist, spent a week filming some of the most rare weather phenomena for the show and using concepts in physics to explain them to the average person. We laurel him for his work in such an awesome and educational show, and his efforts to make science more interesting for everyone.
THEATRE APPRECIATION
HORRIBLE HEATING
We’re pretty proud of New Brunswick for having such a wide variety of entertainment, from its many bars and eateries to its respected theatre district. The NJ State Theatre on Livingston Avenue was recently ranked first in New Jersey and 21 in Worldwide Ticket Sales for Top 100 Theater Venues in 2013. This laurel goes to the State Theatre for continuing to bring an excellent variety of performances to our community.
This weather has been absolutely brutal, and many of us are extremely lucky to have a safe place to stay warm. But we pay a lot of money to come to Rutgers, and a few days ago some students on the Busch and Livingston campuses had neither heat nor hot water because of mechanical issues. We got an email notifying us that this problem didn’t affect residence halls — but it actually did. This dart goes to Rutgers for not communicating this issue efficiently enough in such severe weather.

Super Bowl more about events, less about the game COMMENTARY LOU PETRELLA
C
ould there possibly be any more headlines “frozen” into one football game? Let’s start with the temperature. Of course, the National Football League decides to pick basically the coldest winter on record to experiment with a cold-weather Super Bowl — a winter where more people are familiar with the term “polar vortex” than with who is actually playing in the biggest football game of the year. Which leads me to the next point: ticket prices. SeatGeek, a ticket reseller, noted that tickets for the Super Bowl would most likely be the least expensive since the 2002 game. It is believed that most of
the people who travel annually to the big game are now scared off by the near-freezing temperatures. As of now, the forecast looks promising, but that will be sure to change about 30 times by the time Sunday rolls around. There’s so much talk about security too, including everything from audio commercials on Pandora to notify authorities of suspicious activity to Gov. Chris Christie tweeting about the increase of sex trafficking during the Super Bowl. Some sources are reporting that there will be over 700 troopers in and around the complex, as well as 3,000 private security guards on site. Tailgating? Don’t even try it. There are only 12,000 parking spots available for upwards of 80,000 fans. Oh, and you can’t leave your parking space, so have fun grilling cheeseburgers in the third
row of your Mercedes SUV — which may be more enjoyable than paying top-dollar for crowded NJ Transit buses to the beautiful Meadowlands. Speaking of the Meadowlands, let’s mention the fact that three quarters of the world doesn’t even know that the game is not being played in New York City? I can’t blame the NFL for promoting the game as the “NY/NJ Super Bowl,” but how about a couple of shout-outs for the Garden State? I think everyone is also a little curious about what this year’s halftime extravaganza will be like. Pairing the Red Hot Chili Peppers with Bruno Mars seems more like a desperate last-ditch attempt by the NFL to appeal to a wider audience than anything else — but hey, I have been wrong once or twice before. Lastly, these have to be everyone’s favorite: the commercials. I think it’s safe
to say that more people are glued to the TV during timeouts than during the actual event. The NFL and the networks are certainly not ready to complain about this, however, with a 30-second commercial costing companies a grand total of more than $4 million this year — or more than $133,333 per second. What’s fascinating about all of these storylines? Not one is actually about the football game itself. Over the years, the Super Bowl has turned into a media frenzy rather than a competitive sporting event, and it’s a shame because the game is sure to be entertaining.

Growth of US Rugby team builds more exposure COMMENTARY ADAM UZIALKO
A
fter returning home from the USA Sevens international rugby tournament in Las Vegas last week, I’ve been feeling rather confident about the sport’s chances at catching the average American sports fan’s attention. First, there’s the matter of the explosion of college rugby. College rugby represents the largest section of USA Rugby, and Forbes reports that there are more than 1,000 colleges that feature a club. Of course, this is rugby union, this game
is played with 15 players on a team and 40-minute halves. This is nothing compared to what USA Rugby Sevens stands to become following the announcement that it will be making its Olympic debut in 2016 in Brazil. Sevens is the same sport with a bit of a twist. There are only seven players on a team, on the same sized field as rugby union and with seven-minute halves. As one can imagine, this makes for a faster paced, high-octane match with big plays and a lot of space to run. Literally thousands of rugby fans attended the recent USA Rugby Sevens tournament in Las Vegas, where The Eagles Sevens won the Shield Final — the low-
est tier of the finals. Their performance wasn’t exactly sterling, but to come away with hardware still represents an improvement. With two more years, who knows what U.S. can accomplish? Not much is more beneficial to the sport’s exposure than the Olympics. But the cherry on top might just be Carlin Isles, Eagles Sevens’ wing and former world-class track runner, entering the National Football League. Isles announced following the USA Shield Final victory in Las Vegas that he would be leaving for the Detroit Lions practice squad. While losing the lightning fast Isles is a blow to the Eagles Sevens in the short-term, it may build exposure
for the sport that acted as Isles’ bridge between the track and the gridiron. That is, if Isles can make a name for himself in the NFL instead of just hovering around on practice squads. Regardless, U.S. has a solid captain in Zack Test and a big stage waiting for them in Brazil. If they continue improving, which given the current college rugby atmosphere I imagine they will, we could be looking at an opportunity to make rugby — at least sevens — a primetime affair in the United States.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Israel should not be the only target of boycotts To paraphrase a certain rather famous seventh religious leader, “I shall not be convinced of that which you are convinced, nor will you be convinced me of that which I am convinced. Unto you your convictions, and unto me my convictions.” I am certain that Syjil Ashraf passionately believes in every word she writes, and I am under no illusions as to my power to sway others’ deeply held beliefs. What I can do, however, is inquire as to why exactly she believes Israel in particular should be singled out for an academic boycott by the American Studies Association. If, as she says, academic boycotts are directed at institutions, not individuals, then surely we should not feel any compunction in calling for countries such as, say, Pakistan, to be singled out for boycotts. Recently, a series of mass graves for victims of the central government were discovered in the western province of Ba-
“
lochistan. Some activists estimate the total at 169 bodies so far. Where is Ashraf’s call for an academic boycott of Pakistan? Incidentally, a Christian woman is currently on death row there for committing blasphemy — a humanitarian concern if there ever was one. What about, say, a boycott of Malaysia, where the local Chinese population, as well as other ethnic minorities, face tremendous discrimination under the Bumiputera system, where they are forced to pay heavy taxes but receive little government assistance, in contrast to ethnic Malaysians. Certainly, this modern day system of segregation is a worthy cause for condemnation. Where are the calls for academic sanctions on Malaysia? What about that infamous monarch of human rights violations, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? Say what you want about Israel, but the one thing everyone agrees on is that it allows religious freedom in theory, even if you wish to debate whether that is true in practice. Not so in Saudi Arabia. Saudi journalist Hamza Kashgari, an atheist, has been deported from Malaysia to Saudi Ara-
bia, where he faces the death penalty for insulting a religious figure. I eagerly await the announcement of Students for Justice in Palestine to call for the boycott of these despicable violators of basic human dignity. I will be glad to lend my voice to their cause when they do so. Ben Kusnetz is a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student majoring in political science.
U. alumnus should get more recognition An underappreciated Rutgers alumni, Paul Robeson, was brought to my attention recently. His stor y inspired me to start a petition to change the football stadium’s name to the “Paul Robeson Stadium.” Paul Robeson was the third African American ever accepted to Rutgers University. In 1919, he graduated as the class valedictorian and football All-American.
He is one of Rutgers’ most distinguished African American alumni, and yet, he has little to no recognition. After graduating from Rutgers, Robeson went on to get a law degree at Columbia Law School, became a civil rights and peace activist, played professionally in the NFL and became a well-known actor and singer. During the 1950s, Robeson was blacklisted by the FBI for his activism and political views, nearly erasing him from Rutgers’ history. In order to commemorate this role model, the High Point Solutions football stadium should be renamed the Paul Robeson Stadium instead of an insurance company’s name. This man should be recognized as one of Rutgers’ most distinguished alumni. A link to the petition and a brief overview of Paul Robeson’s life can be found on change.org.

COHESION Mack, Seagears average respectively only 4.3 and 3.9 assists per game for RU continued from back 4.3 and 3.9 assists per game, respectively. Although Jordan said making a statement to Mack and Seagears was not his intention, the matchup against Houston will reveal whether his substitutions resulted in an effec-
tive one. “That’s very disappointing because the end of the game showed what we should’ve been doing all game,” said junior forward Kadeem Jack. “It’s kind of disappointing that we waited until the last second to turn it on.” Jack recorded 18 points off 6-for-8 shooting, which is a low number of shots for a player so effective. Rutgers’ passing must improve for Jack to become even more of an offensive threat. The Queens native’s job was also harder against Temple because senior forward Wally Judge
was absent with a neck condition. That made post defense a little harder, allowing Temple’s guards to penetrate easily into the interior. Guard Dalton Pepper scored 14 in the first half before only shooting 1-for-7 for 7 more points in the second half. Senior wing J.J. Moore guarded him and often let Pepper past him in the first half. That was part of the equation for the backcourt’s inconsistency. “Pepper went off, and that was my responsibility,” Moore said. “… Just containing our men and trying to run them off the 3-point line.”
MEN’S LACROSSE COACHES PEG RUTGERS FIFTH IN PRESEASON POLL
Returners provide experience By Sean Stewart Staff Writer
For a team that finished 2-13 last season, including a 12-game losing streak to end the year, the Rutgers men’s lacrosse team remains exceedingly optimistic. Despite the record, the Scarlet Knights lost eight games by two goals or less, with most of those goals coming in the final minute of play or in overtime. Two one-goal losses came against the No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams in the nation in Syracuse and Notre Dame. The Knights feel the losses are not a true indication of their ability. “Since day one, written in the lockers, it says, ‘winning season, Big East tournament, NCAA tournament,’” said junior faceoff specialist Joe Nardella. “So we want to have a winning record, change those one-goal losses into one goal wins and get to that Big East tournament. Win those two games, get to the NCAA’s and then, hey, anything can happen.” The Knights return 97 percent of their offensive production from last season, losing only one starter. Senior attacker Scott Klimchak highlights some of the key returning players for Rutgers. The Clark, N.J., native led the team in points (39) and goals (32). Seniors Nick DePaolera and Anthony Terranova, along with junior Brian Goss and sophomore
Scott Bieda, are also important to the Knights’ attack. With many returning players, along with some talented incoming freshmen, team cohesion could prove invaluable. “We’ve been working on communication both offensively and defensively. I feel like that will really help us come together team chemistry-wise,” Klimchak said. “We’re really taking the younger guys under our wing. Some of those guys are going to have to contribute this year, and I feel like they will help us out.” The loss of starter Ed Bartleson is the only change to an otherwise identical defense for the Knights. Head coach Brian Brecht is expecting incoming freshman defender Chris Groel to make an immediate impact. Sophomore and reigning Big East Goalkeeper of the Year Kris Alleyne is another key returner to the squad. Following a rookie campaign where he ranked sixth in the country with a .596 save percentage, Alleyne returns as the undisputed No. 1 choice in net after an open competition for the job last preseason. With another year of experience and familiar faces in defense, the New City, N.Y., native seems poised for another big year. “I can lead a lot better than I could last year,” Alleyne said. “I feel more comfortable being able to speak up and I’m ready to take
TIGERS Rutgers struggled to contain Memphis forwards in previous matchup continued from back Stringer said. “It’s as simple as that — make no excuses for it. Let’s step up and do what we know we need to do.” Last time against Memphis, the Knights struggled to contain forwards Asianna Fuqua-Bey and Pa’Sonna Hope, who both went off for double-doubles in the Tigers’ win. But as a whole, Memphis was significantly inefficient offensively, shooting just 36 percent from the field. Rutgers shot an impressive 54.5 percent as sophomore wing Kahleah Copper and freshman point guard Tyler Scaife each tallied more than 20 points. Much like against Louisville, excessive turnover problems were the culprit of Rutgers’ collapse.
The Knights turned the ball over 24 times, one of their worst totals of the season. The Tigers, meanwhile, turned it over just nine times. They suffered only three second-half turnovers and none in overtime. But one area Rutgers has improved since the two teams’ first meeting is bench production. Players off the Knights’ bench produced 0 points in Memphis. They have tallied 54 combined over the last three games. Sophomore guard Briyona Canty, who struggled initially in her return from last year’s early season-ending surgery, averaged 11 points during the span. Stringer is not surprised that the former No. 6 overall high school prospect in 2011 is finally providing a spark off the bench.
on a bigger role as a member of the team.” While the lineup will not change much, the Knights’ home stadium will. For the first time in team history, Rutgers is scheduled to play in High Point Solutions Stadium for all of its regular season home games. The change in facilities was made in order to enhance fan experience during home games and help in recruiting. Another change will be the Knights conference schedule. Long time rivals Syracuse and Notre Dame have left for the ACC but that will not affect the Big East’s reputation as a strong conference. The addition of Marquette to the schedule is a downgrade in competition, but Denver, another addition, is an elite college program. The Knights were voted to finish tied for fifth in the conference’s preseason poll. A difficult non-conference schedule, including the defending champion Duke Blue Devils, could also be troubling. But rather than fear big teams, Brecht embraces the challenge. “The competition within the league is certainly very high,” Brecht said. “Our schedules are very ambitious … but we want to play the best and I think having a competitive schedule, whether it’s the conference or the non-league games, is helpful for us.”
“As these games come and the magnitude of these games presents itself, I’m sure that she’ll continue to be impressive,” Stringer said. “We’re going to need that hopefully if we get to the NCAAs.” In order for Rutgers to snap out of its recent skid and build on its NCAA Tournament resume for a potential at-large bid, the Knights know they must limit turnovers. The majority of the issues have materialized in the half-court, where Rutgers is not as effective offensively as when it can show off its athleticism in transition. With more steady contributions developing throughout the roster, the Knights’ cohesiveness on offense is likely to improve. “We were really excited to see that it wasn’t the starters that were out there that were holding the game together,” said junior wing Betnijah Laney postgame Tuesday. “It was really calming for us to know that it doesn’t have to always be us. We can take breaks, and we have a team that is capable of doing what everyone has to do.”

WOES Fritz out for championships, Crawford questionable with hamstring injury continued from back Junior sprinter Kadeem Douse won the 60m dash at the Metropolitan Championship. But he has only competed at the opening meet of the indoor season Dec. 7 at the New Year’s Invite in Princeton. Junior decathlete Mike Fritz is also nursing an injury and will not compete this weekend, while junior jumper Corey Crawford is unsure if he will jump with a nagging hamstring injury. Crawford currently has the best mark in the nation in the long jump, but like Douse, has only competed in the New Year’s Invite. Crawford said he is feeling better and maintains that he will return to the track without missing a step. “I’m feeling a lot better,” Crawford
said. “I’ve had a rough couple weeks here with this hamstring problem, but as to where I stand right now, I feel pretty good. My competition at Princeton went really well so I haven’t lost too much as far as training and conditioning and strength, so I feel like I will be able to pick it right back up.” Head coach Mike Mulqueen believes that the team is still adapting to the rhythm of the season. With meets over the past three weekends, Mulqueen believes the squad is finally in tune. “It’s a different routine, and we’re getting into it,” he said. “We’re getting healthier each week, so I think they are starting to get the hang of it.” Rutgers also has to adapt to a different style of meet. Last weekend’s Terrier Classic was an individual meet with participants from more than 100 schools, while the Metropolitan Championships will be a conventional meet with team scoring. Last season the Knights placed second at the competition, falling 2.5 points shy of Manhattan’s 134 points.

How long before Eddie Jordan should be expected to make Rutgers an NCAA Tournament-caliber team? Fast Facts SOURCES: SCARLETKNIGHTS.COM, THE STAR TRIBUNE
• The last time the Knights qualified for the NCAA Tournament was in 1991, when they lost in the first round as a 9-seed.
• Jordan played on the 1976 Rutgers team that advanced all the way to
the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament before falling to Michigan
• When RU hired Jordan, all Big Ten head’s men’s basketball coaches made $1.25 million per year except Minnesota’s Richard Pitino

“In my opinion, you’ve got to give him at least two years so he can set his team up, and then I say three or four years before they’re NCAA caliber.”
“I’d say anywhere from two to three years. There’s definitely talent on this roster right now. I think having a pro coach who spent a lot of time in the NBA is going to do a lot for recruiting, plus the fact they’re moving to the Big Ten. I think it’s going to take some time for the players to adjust.”

“If you just look at the history of the fact that they haven’t done it in a while, [Jordan’s] got to change the mentality. He’s got to recruit the local kids — try to get some of the kids to stay here.”
“Three years. It takes time for anything to get going. ”
“I would say two years. Now that we’re a part of the Big Ten, I feel that the standards for all our sports teams should be raised, and that each coach should be held accountable for the team in the position that they were hired to manage.”

sophomore forward Greg Lewis captains this season. He passed over forward Wally Judge and wing J.J. Moore — both seniors — because he wanted players who will return with the Knights next year. Even before the season began, Jordan put next year’s ambitions into his roster choices. But even if Jordan doesn’t win next year, it is still excusable as long as Rutgers improves. The roster is packed with talent, but pure ability might not be enough when Rutgers brings in recruits. Although the players show good character from top to bottom, that doesn’t always translate to on-the-court chemistry. If Jordan can’t get chemistry out of these players, that’s partly his fault. It’s always partly the head coach’s fault. But unlike when he coached in the NBA, part of his job is getting players that can fit in with his style of coaching. Until he gets the chance to do that, Jordan’s off the hook — at least for now.

not translating his message clearly enough to an underachieving roster. But if his current coaching style works when the team consists of his recruits, that flack disappears. Jordan should not be expected to field an NCAA Tournament-caliber team until three or four years from now. Jordan will have the players he wants to develop by then and they will have to help him prove he’s the right coach for the Scarlet Knights. But Jordan shouldn’t be immune to criticism. No one with a five-year, $6.25 million contract should be. Rutgers knew it had to spend around that much on a head men’s basketball coach since other coaches in the Big Ten typically earn at least that much. While earning that money, Jordan should try his best to win now, but absolutely needs to be winning by the end of his enormous contract. Jordan made Mack, junior forward Kadeem Jack and redshirt

The Rutgers men’s basketball roster is definitely underachieving in head coach Eddie Jordan’s first year with the program. Although the team was picked last place in the AAC preseason poll, it was hardly due to a lack of talent. It’s because several players underachieved. The team failed to put together many complete games the year before and the Mike Rice incident is a lot to move on from. Jordan’s team is third-to-last in the AAC, with a squad nobody could justifiably call untalented, but this is not his fault. Thinking back to the program Jordan adopted in April, no one could’ve expected him to assemble a winning season given the circumstances. After, and even a little before Rice’s firing, several transferred. But Jordan deserves credit for some key players staying, including junior guards Myles Mack and Jerome Seagears. It is justifiable to criticize Jordan for burning timeouts early, or

Rutgers gets shot to redeem loss to Tigers By Greg Johnson Associate Sports Editor

Guards seek cohesion at RAC By Josh Bakan Sports Editor
The Rutgers men’s basketball backcourt failed to guard the dribble, execute a running offense or even consistently score with a shootfirst style of play Wednesday against Temple. The Scarlet Knights trailed, 59-40, with 16:01 left in the game. Head coach Eddie Jordan made three substitutions, including removing junior guards Myles Mack and Jerome Seagears. It typically would not make sense for Jordan to take out his top-two guards with his team significantly trailing.
But at that point, juniors D’Von Campbell and Malick Kone were Rutgers’ best guards. Suddenly Rutgers ran a successful running offense as Campbell made quick decisions. Kone consistently attacked the basket and recorded 7 points, three rebounds and two assists. As Campbell quarterbacked Rutgers to a 75-74 lead with 2:49 remaining and Kone contributed, Jordan did more than make a statement to his usual starting backcourt. “It wasn’t a message. I’m trying to win the game, and those guys deserved it,” said Jordan, who kept Campbell in the rest of the game after 16:01 remained. “They did things right. They trusted the offense and discipline.
It wasn’t like a shock to the system when a shot went up with 30 seconds on the clock. You have to trust the offense.” Beginning with when Rutgers (8-13, 2-6) hosts Houston (11-9, 3-4) tomorrow at the Louis Brown Athletic Center, the Knights’ backcourt must form a consistent identity. The backcourt currently consists of several shoot-first guards. While Mack and Seagears can shoot well enough to control games — Mack more often — it has not happened enough for Rutgers’ offense to consistently play to its potential. Mack and Seagears average only
As demoralized as the Rutgers women’s basketball team felt after its 80-71 loss Tuesday night to No. 5 Louisville, to some degree the late collapse was expected. The Scarlet Knights are still a young team just beginning to reestablish national prominence, while the Cardinals are a veteran program building on a 2013 national title game appearance. For as many careless mistakes as Rutgers (15-5, 6-3) made down the stretch Tuesday, its halftime lead was not nearly as large as what the Knights held Jan. 14 at Memphis. Rutgers botched an 11-point halftime advantage that night, ultimately falling by 1 point in overtime to a mediocre AAC team. That loss — one of two Rutgers has to unranked teams — started a stretch that has seen the Knights lose three of their last five games. Tomorrow morning Rutgers has an opportunity to avenge that defeat when it hosts the Tigers at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. Memphis (11-10, 4-5) has since split four games, most recently topping Central Florida by 9 points at home. Head coach C. Vivian Stringer held nothing back postgame Tuesday when stressing Rutgers’ unforced turnovers in the game’s critical stages. “We need to address the fact that, ‘guess what? We could’ve done this and we should’ve done this, and we need to get better,’” See tigers on Page 14

Knights enter championships with injury woes By Lou Petrella Staff Writer
The Rutgers men’s track and field team will conclude a busy month of January this weekend at the Metropolitan Championships at the New York City Armory in the Bronx. After participating in only one meet in December, the Scarlet Knights traveled all over the Northeast this month, competing in indoor meets over four consecutive weekends.
The NYC Armory track is one Rutgers is familiar with after competing there Jan. 17th in the Great Dane Invitational. The Knights hope to recreate their performance from last season in the Metropolitan invite, but they do face some challenges. First is the obvious grind of the indoor season. After no competitions in the fall, and only one before break, Rutgers will participate in four meets this month with one in Boston and two in New York.
Although tiring, freshman pole-vaulter Nick Patterson sees these competitions as showcases of how good the team can actually be. “We’re all really excited to finally participate in meets,” Patterson said. “It is cool, because we can see all of the hard work from the offseason starting to pay off.” Another issue the squad has to deal with is injuries.
