Residents gathered Downtown on Tuesday afternoon to protest against New Brunswick’s current immigration policy. The rally took place after a statement from the Mayor’s Office said New Brunswick is not a “sanctuary city” for undocumented immigrants. DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

New Brunswick residents rally at city hall for mayor to declare ‘sanctuary’ status Camilo Montoya-Galvez staff writer

Equipped with drums, hymns and bilingual chants, more than a hundred city residents, immigration activists and Rutgers students assembled outside of the New Brunswick City Hall on Tuesday afternoon to demand protection for the city’s undocumented residents.

The crowd, which maintained its enthusiasm for several hours despite the cold, held posters in English and Spanish, including “no human is illegal” and “immigrants make America great.”

Local political, religious and immigrant leaders energized the demonstrators from atop the steps of City Hall and called on New Brunswick Mayor James Cahill to declare “sanctuary city” status.

“It’s critical that here in New Jersey, our cities and counties are standing on the side of immigrants and against this new regime that we have with (President Donald J.) Trump,” said Russell Weiss-Irwin, a resident of Princeton, New Jersey.

an elementary school has allowed him to notice the contributions that the parents of many of his students from immigrant households have on America.

The organizers of the rally gave the mayor’s office a document outlining their concerns and demands. These included the establishment of anti-discrimination policies, the creation of a municipal I.D. program for undocumented residents and the implementation of ordinances to ensure that residents, regardless of their immigration status, are treated fairly by city employees.

The document also says that the mayor’s office should establish a “clear policy,” which guarantees that local police or government officials will not enforce federal immigration law. A total of 38 New Brunswick groups and organizations signed the document.

“We hope to push the mayor to adopt clear, codified policies to protect immigrant communities,” said Craig Garcia, one of the rally’s organizers and the political director of the New Jersey Working Families Alliance.

Garcia noted that there have been raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Hub City over the past years.

In Januar y of 2016, ICE conducted a raid on a New Brunswick home and detained 21-year-old undocumented city resident German Nieto-Cruz, The Daily Targum reported. The manner in which the raid was handled and the presence of ICE in the city sparked a protest in Downtown New Brunswick that same month.

Many of the activists said they were spurred to take action after See sanctuary on Page 5

Starbucks at The Yard expected to reopen by Friday Kira Herzog news editor

The Starbucks on the College Avenue campus is expected to reopen its doors by Friday after closing its door for nearly three weeks.

“We have been advised by Starbucks that they are in the process of shipping product and hope to be open by the end of the week,” said Christopher Paladino, president of the New Brunswick Development Corporation (DEVCO).

The initial closure on Jan. 20 resulted from a contractual conflict between Starbucks and DEVCO, the company that owns and operates The Yard, according to the The Daily Targum.

Starbucks revoked the operating license for the branch, Paladino said.

On Tuesday, in an email to the Targum, Paladino said he anticipates “the original operator will continue to operate under the original license.”

The branch encountered immediate success upon opening for business last December, according to TAPInto New Brunswick. Paladino said the numbers were high and his company knew early on that they would resolve the situation with Starbucks.

When business resumes, the location will be open from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

“I fully expect to be swinging by The Yard for my morning coffee on Monday morning,” Paladino said.

Vandalism in Clothier Residence Hall under investigation by RUPD Kira Herzog news editor

On Feb. 2, Clothier Hall staff were informed of a swastika symbol drawn on a dr y erase board in the first-floor study lounge.

Residence Life reported the incident to the Rutgers University Police Department (RUPD), who launched an immediate investigation. The Bias Incident Response Team (BIRT), which operates as a unit of Student Affairs, was also notified, said University spokesperson Jeffrey Tolvin.

“Swastikas are anti-semitic symbols and are often draw on campus to instill fear and hate. These symbols have no place on our campuses and in our residence halls,” Tolvin said.

Rutgers Student Af fairs defines a “bias incident” as an act —

written, verbal or physical — that threatens or harms a person or group on account of their identity.

Their investigative team responds to reports by collecting information and reporting to a committee of representatives, collected from 10 facets of the University including the dean of students and the police department.

Curtis Chan, the residence life coordinator for Clothier Hall, issued an email to students on Feb. 3, asking them to stand together against hate and bias. He encouraged students to contact Residence Life staff immediately if they witness any similar behavior.

“I am deeply disappointed by this act of ignorance and insensitivity,” he said in the email.

“Many residents in our community are of fended by this. This

incident is under investigation

by RUPD and we will not tolerate this level of incivility.”

Chan attached contact information for Counseling, Alcohol and Other Drug Assistance Program and Psychiatric Ser vices (CAPS), as well as The Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities (SJE) and encouraged students to reach out for suppor t.

The last time a similar incident was addressed by police was on Jan. 15, 2016 when a student returned home to find a 2-and-a-half foot swastika taped on the ceiling of her bedroom in the Livingston Apartments.

Rutgers Got Talent raises over $2,500 for non-profit

The Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) hosts Rutgers Got Talent every year to raise funds. This year finalists included the Rutgers Taekwondo team, the Lucy Stoners and singer-songwriter Anne Claire Macalintal. Casey Ambrosio

Jacob Turchi contributing writer

The seventh annual Rutgers Got Talent show was held at the Livingston Student Center on Monday night. The Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) organized the event to raise money for children overseas.

The event raised more than $2,500 for the non-profit organization.

“Rutgers Got Talent is one of the charity’s biggest events of the

year,” said Nourhan Heikal, School of Arts and Sciences senior and the president of the organization.

Auditions for Rutgers Got Talent commenced before the end of the fall semester, but performers did not learn if they would be performing until the weekend before the show opened, giving contestants a small time frame to prepare their performances, Heikal said.

In the past, the event was consistently held on Thursday

or Friday nights, but this year, a scheduling conflict forced the time slot to Monday night, Heikal said. This meant the audience was not as large as it had been in previous years.

Throughout the night, board members from PCRF provided information about their cause.

One student on the board read an original poem at the beginning of the show that addressed discrimination and violence towards minorities, Heikal said.

The night provided an entertaining way to raise money and introduce people to the relief fund and what it stands for, she said.

The event was cosponsored by more than 10 different on-campus organizations including the Sigma Psi Zeta sorority, the Arabic Language Club and the Black Student Union, according to the event’s page.

“Students usually love Rutgers Got Talent because we usually

host more serious events,” Heikal said. “But this is one of our fun events where it’s just strictly about raising money and everyone can just come eat some snacks and listen to some people sing and watch some dances.”

The night progressed with the help of two masters of ceremonies (MC), who previously hosted dance competitions, giveaways and raffles in between acts.

Mahmoud Soliman, one of the MCs and a member of PCRF, encouraged the crowd to engage with the performances.

“I love making people hyped and getting them in that zone and making performers feel good about themselves, and making the people feel good about the event and making the whole event as fun as it can be,” Soliman said.

At the end of the night, there were three finalists: Ann Claire Macalintal, a School of Arts and Sciences senior and singer-songwriter, a dance group called the Lucy Stoners and the Rutgers Taekwondo demonstration team.

The Rutgers Taekwondo team performed a mixture of dance and authentic technique.

“It’s a fun mix of dance and martial arts,” said Griffin Poole, a School of Arts and Sciences junior and member of the team.

“The idea of it is to put on a nice entertaining show where we showcase the kicks, the skills and the techniques that we do in practice as well as making it entertaining and being loud and obnoxious about it.”

The Lucy Stoners is a competing dance troop at Rutgers who have performed at a number of tri-state competitions.

The team has participated in many performances around campus, but this was its first time performing at Rutgers Got Talent. For that event, the Lucy Stoners performed an older routine that they had not done in over a year.

“They’re like our favorite dances, so this is like a reunion for us,” said Jenna Brennan, a School of Arts and Sciences junior and one of the members of the dance team. “It was something we haven’t done in a while and it was just fun for us.”

“As we all know, we are committed to a respectful community and create an anti-bias environment in residence halls in which ever yone, regardless of their identity and differences, feel comfortable to live,” Chan said. “Hate and bias are the opposite of the value that we promote in our community.”

Students fight to establish water refill stations at U. Max Marcus contributing writer

Take Back the Tap is fighting water privatization by educating Rutgers students about safe drinking water. Now, they are campaigning for water bottle fill stations on campus.

Hannah Mulligan, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, works with the Take Back the Tap organization.

“Right now there’s a very big scare about tap water safety,” Mulligan said. “People are reacting by buying water from private sources, such as bottled water, but that’s the opposite direction we need to move in because that encourages water privatization, which is a lot of the reason that we have the current water crisis that we do.”

Contrary to what many people assume about bottled water, it is not necessarily any safer than tap water, Mulligan said. Whereas municipally sourced water must, by law, be tested according to certain standards, there is no independent organization tasked with testing bottled water, Mulligan said.

The only regulation is carried out by a small agency within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), she said.

School of Arts and Sciences junior Megan Kenny says that water privatization is not only a safety issue but a political one as well.

“When water sources become privatized, water becomes a commodity for sale that people can profit off of,” Kenny said.

“There’s no reason for corporations to be profiting off of something that everyone needs to live.

So the point of fighting water privatization is to keep water cheap, safe and accessible. The track record with companies that privatize water is that it becomes less of all those things.”

Municipalities will often contract their water services to private corporations like American Water, who handled New Brunswick’s water supply until August 2015, Kenny said. When that happens, the price of water increases Students in the organization Take Back the Tap are working to eliminate plastic single-use water for residents of the city.

sanctuary More than 50 residents stood outside city hall to protest Mayor Cahill’s stance on immigration continued from front The Daily Targum reported last week that Mayor Cahill’s administration did not consider New Brunswick a sanctuary city.

The article included the following statement from Public Information Officer Jennifer Bradshaw: “The New Brunswick Police Department adheres to policies set by the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, the Office of the Attorney General and the federal government with regard to investigations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”

On Feb. 5, Cahill released a statement to outline the immigration policies in place in New Brunswick. He wrote that the city does not describe itself as a sanctuary city because “the term has no defined meaning.”

In his statement, the mayor provided a list of programs and legislation to underscore New

Brunswick’s “300-plus year history as a community shaped in part by the contributions of immigrants from around the world.”

He also said the city’s police department serves and protects all residents regardless of their immigration status.

“The New Brunswick Police Department does not enforce federal immigration laws and does not participate in raids or investigations involving immigration status,” he said.

In the press release, Cahill said there were “ambiguities” in last week’s article published

by The Daily Targum. He also said his office will work to prevent hardline immigration policies or “misinformation” from tearing apart New Brunswick’s “social fabric.”

His statement did not further explain the role of the city’s police department in federal immigration investigations by ICE

and the mayor’s office did not respond to the Targum’s request to elaborate on his statements by press time.

Some undocumented city residents who attended the rally, including Irais Mujica, said the demonstration was a significant show of solidarity, especially taking into consideration the sensitive and “scary” time.

Mujica, who has lived in New Brunswick since she left her native Mexico in 1999, works six days a week cleaning offices and houses in Hub City and surrounding towns. She said the possibility of being forced to go back to her home country and leaving her two young American daughters behind scares her.

“I’m scared that one day they’ll come to my house or find me in the street, and force me away from my daughters. That is the biggest fear I have — my daughters,” she said.

For Didier Jiménez, a Hillsborough, New Jersey resident, the rally was also personal. He is one of approximately 750,000 recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program created by

former President Barack Obama in 2012, who are commonly known as DREAMers. Jimenez came to America from Costa Rica when he was 9 years old.

Because he is uncertain about his future, Jimenez said he would like to see local governments resist Trump’s adminis-

tration and protect their undocumented residents.

“We want the mayor to listen to us and hear us, and be considerate that these are people’s lives that you are messing with,” he said. “When you mess with people’s lives and their families, it is going to impact the community.”

Among those gathered at city hall were undocumented immigrants and recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) order. DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR

DeVos not qualified to represent all students

T

ime and time again, elected officials AND (ECONOMIC) JUSTICE and the media deFOR ALL cry “failing urban schools” and the handicap they give THALYA REYES poor children, particularly black and Hispanic children, entering adulthood. This rhetoric was pervasive during President Donald J. Trump’s campaign, especially when he concluded the final 2016 presidential debate by saying, “Our inner cities are a disaster. You get shot walking to the store. They have no education. They have no jobs.” Trump’s vision of the “inner city” is at least “30 years past its prime,” and it undermines efforts to ameliorate the challenges people in urban centers are actually facing such as gentrification, segregation, the escalating cost of housing, environmental and public health, policing, safe and accessible transportation and more.

Given the complex problems urban students face, why do we continue to look solely at in-school factors like teachers, testing and “accountability,” when the evidence points to poverty and other external factors as the root causes of low academic performance? The reality is that public education is threatened by proponents of privatization willing to make a buck at the expense of students. This is exemplified in Trump’s pick for Secretary of Education, billionaire philanthropist Betsy DeVos. DeVos, who is married to Amway multi-billionaire Richard DeVos Jr., is a tactful Republican donor, using her family’s tremendous wealth to support anti-marriage equality efforts, private school vouchers and “school choice” (i.e. charter schools). In her home state of Michigan, DeVos, a former Michigan GOP chairwoman, pushed for a failed constitutional amendment requiring the state to use public funds to pay for student tuition at private, religious schools through vouchers. However, DeVos used her immense political and financial capital to propel the rapid expansion of minimally-regulated, for-profit charter schools and online schools in Michigan. While these methods are highly controversial and debated, it is her knowledge — or lack thereof — of the role of public education and the federal Department of Education that is arguably the most alarming.

After her confirmation last month, she opened herself to new criticism stemming from her lack of understanding of even the most basic of education policy tenets. DeVos was unaware that the department she would be charged with has to enforce the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), a federal statute that ensures schools support services for children with disabilities, saying that she would “leave that to the states.” She also did not understand the difference between growth, which measures how much students learned over a period, and proficiency, which measures how many students attained a targeted level.

Most comically, she defended local decision-making on the matter of guns in schools, using a Wyoming school’s proximity to a grizzly bear habitat as a reason to do so. DeVos’s disregard of underprivileged students and federal regulation has galvanized people on all sides of the political spectrum — early last week, two senators, Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), pledged their opposition against her — just one more “no” vote and DeVos’s confirmation would have been defeated, but Vice President Mike Pence issued an unprecented vote to break the tie she faced in the Cabinet. Even billionaire philanthropist and charter school advocate Eli Broad wrote a letter to members of the Senate imploring them to reject DeVos. We need to consider the issues confronting public education today before moving forward. Far too many children — nearly 25 percent — live in poverty, many of whom do not have adequate access to nutritious food, medical care and safe housing. Black and Hispanic students, along with English Language Learners (ELLs) are particularly targeted due to their increased likelihood to live in communities segregated by race and class, which exacerbates the achievement gap. Most of these children are taught in our under-resourced public schools. This is largely due to school zoning and finance policies that primarily fund schools through local property taxes, perpetuating huge inequities in education — from the quality of school infrastructure to teacher’s pay.

To address the perplexing issues facing our nation’s schools, we need a true champion of equal opportunity and equitable outcomes as the secretary of education. Betsy DeVos, with her history of advocating for her pocket and lack of public education experience, is not that person. It is past due for government officials to focus on the developmental needs of children and how public education has a role to play in leveling the playing field for disadvantaged children. After DeVos’s confirmation on Tuesday, our communities have their work cut out for them to ensure all students are protected equally under the law. The fight for a thorough and efficient education for all continues.

Tomi Lahren is no solution to Republican Party’s problem CONSCIENCE OF A CO-ED LOUIS RUZIECKI

I

n this present and ever so confusing era of the administration of President Donald J. Trump, we have been exposed to a fair share of ignorant statements and rather offensive rhetoric. We have heard the president mock a disabled reporter, we have heard him claim that a judge does not approve of the border wall because of his race and we have heard him say that journalist Megyn Kelly does not care for him because she is bleeding from her “wherever.” Needless to say, it has been an exhausting couple of months for the left, respectively, and conservatives who have no desire to offer their support for Trump. I have previously written about my fear that the Republican Party will shift more toward the desires of Trump rather than a coherent defense of conservatism.

While my worst fears are slowly becoming reality, there are more people to blame than the president and the cowardice of certain Republican members of Congress. Many political commentators, who were once conservatives themselves, have only exacerbated this rhetoric that has emerged in the Trump era. Commentators such as Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and countless more have been blacklisted in my eyes. But the so-called

“conservative” commentator, who is truly a danger to the promotion of conservative ideals, is none other than one Tomi Lahren.

It is no surprise that Lahren has not made many friends on the left. Commentators on the left and left-leaning citizens are never going to have something nice to say about a seemingly conservative political commentator. But the problem with Lahren runs much deeper than offending liberals left and right. The problem is not only with some statements she makes, but how she goes about saying them. Like I have stated before,

horrors of the Syrian civil war, it is not politically incorrect, it is abhorrently offensive.

But unfortunately, this rhetoric will continue, given the time we are living in. While Lahren and her loyal followers may think they are fighting the good fight for conservatism, they most certainly are not. Delivering offensive statements while pointing a finger at a camera in a condescending and vulgar tone in the name of political incorrectness does not a conservative make. Not only does she give a bad name for herself when she does this, but also for conservatives as a whole. It

“Many political commentators, who were once conservatives themselves, have only exacerbated this rhetoric that has emerged in the Trump era.”

Trump has made some very offensive statements in the name of invalidating political correctness. While it is my belief that political correctness is destroying political debate and civil discourse in this country, there is a clear difference between one being politically incorrect and being rude and uncouth.

While it is politically incorrect to suggest that people need to be properly vetted before entering the United States, it is repugnant to say that Syrian people are “running away.”

So, when Tomi Lahren insinuates that Syrian refugees are cowards for trying to escape the

is antithetical to shill for Trump and call yourself a conservative at the same time. Lahren has never once criticized the president for his past disparaging comments. She has yet to criticize the president for his recent executive order barring residents of Mulsim-majority countries from entering the United States for an undisclosed time period. She has yet to criticize the president for possibly engaging in crony capitalism with deals like the Carrier debacle. She has yet to criticize the president for going forward with building a multi-million-dollar wall along the Mexican

border. She has indeed criticized Republicans who have refused to support her orange-skinned overlord referring to them as “disloyal.” Similarly, Judge Jeanine Pirro of Fox News has often stated that people need to “get in line” and support Trump. This notion of criticizing someone for being disloyal for not supporting the nominee of your political party is nothing short of tyrannical and Orwellian in nature. This is a perfect example of how partisan politics has led to the destruction of American political discourse.

It has often been said that the Republican Party has a messaging problem among millennials. I hope that I made the case that Lahren is not the answer to this problem. If you put all of the memes aside, she is genuinely not a good voice for conservatism.

What the GOP and conservatives alike need is someone who will promote civil discourse. They need someone who will spread awareness about the American experiment rather than someone who focuses on “triggering snowflakes,” whatever that may entail. They need someone who will stand up for conservative ideals regardless of party identity and someone who will have the ability and the gall to stand up to a sitting president when he or she overreaches. And those, my friends, are my final thoughts.

FOOD & DRINK

Avalon’s Declassified Guide: Best chicken nugget countdown 4) Wendy’s

2) Popeyes

A Wendy’s nugget is basically a vegetable: lower in sodium and notably fresher compared to its competitors. All of this may sound positive, but assessed against my official nugget rubric system, Wendy’s earns a “D” grading. Breaded, battered and deep-fried chicken meat is meant to be fatty. My golden rule: If it doesn’t give you chest pains, it’s not worth eating. Grab these subpar nuggets at the the College Avenue Student Center.

Expertly spiced with the perfect level of crispiness, Popeye’s nuggets are the crème de la crème. These bite-sized pieces of chicken breast are moist and surrounded by a bit more breading than the others on this list. The only thing keeping Popeyes from taking the top spot is the quality of their sauces. Luckily, there’s now a Popeye’s right on George Street.

Warning: The last time I consumed a dining hall nugget was two years ago, so this judgement is based on a foggy memory.

That said, I remember the Busch Dining Hall takeout nuggets being rubbery and chewy. I’ll give these nuggets the Donald Trump review: “Sad!” Find them on all five campuses, but proceed with caution.

Like the Rutgers community, chicken nuggets are diverse. And Burger King’s chicken fries are the best example of the food’s variety. Is it a chicken or is it a fry? It already tastes salty and delicious, but that element of mystery intensifies the flavor. And we can finally breath a sigh of relief because after years of slipping on and off the BK menu, these strips of chicken are now a permanent fixture at the chain. I recommend dipping them in the Sweet and Sour sauce for the optimum experience.

Directions: 1. Put a pot of about 4 cups of water on the stove to boil.

2. Cook the rice and tomato in a large pan together with a big pinch of salt over medium heat.

3. When the water is boiling, add a ladleful to the pan with the rice. Stir until the water is absorbed. Repeat this process, adding a ladle of water and stirring, until the rice is cooked, about 1520 minutes. You won’t need all of the water.

4. Put the rice on a plate and let it rest until it is cool enough to handle.

5. In the meantime, set up your frying station. Near the stove, set out a bowl with 2 beaten eggs, 1 cup of breadcrumbs seasoned with salt and a bowl of water for your hands. Put a medium sized pot on the stove and fill about 2 inches with canola oil. Set out a baking sheet next to the stove lined with paper towels to absorb grease, and get yourself a tool that you can use to take the supplì out of the oil with — a slotted spoon will work.

6. Begin forming the supplì.

Take a small handful of rice in your hand and flatten it until it covers your hand like a thin rice patty. Place one cube of mozzarella in the center and close your hand around it, forming an oval shaped ball. You will probably have to use your other hand as well. Practice makes perfect.

7. Dip the supplì into the eggs, then roll in breadcrumbs. Place on a tray until ready to fry.

8. Heat the oil to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don’t have a thermometer you can use a cube of bread — if it bubbles immediately and vigorously when dropped in the oil, the oil is hot enough.

9. Fry the supplì in batches, two or three at a time, until they are golden brown. It is important that the oil is not too hot, otherwise, the supplì will burn before the cheese inside melts.

10. Remove supplì to a paper towel-lined tray and sprinkle with salt. Eat immediately.

3) Dining Hall

For lunch, dinner or even a midnight snack: Chicken nuggets are the perfect go-to food. Find out where should you “go to” to get the best on the Banks. PIXAVAY

Avalon Zoppo Staff Writer

As renowned novelist Jeff Kinney once said, “I’m probably something like 95 percent chick-

en nuggets.” Since its creation in the 1950s, deep-fried chicken meat has captured the hearts and souls of those across the country.

Advancements in food science mean chicken nuggets come in

many different tastes and forms, from spicy-flavored to dinosaur-shaped. And that means not every nugget is created equal, so Inside Beat is here to guide you to the best ones in New Brunswick.

Recipes from Rome: Savor surprises found in every supplì, make your own

Supplì are an Italian staple food, but you don’t need to catch the next flight to Rome to try these tasty treats. Use this IB recipe to make them while you’re in New Brunswick. JULIA TERRANOVA

Julia Terranova Contributing Writer

There are many things about Rome that are truly amazing: The fact that it’s been a city for almost 3,000 years, the amount of dogs there are or how sometimes you just stumble into a church and there’s a Michelangelo statue right in front of you.

Another enchanting element of the eternal city is that you can’t take more than a few steps without finding a place that sells supplì — although I can’t guarantee this is a fact. I only have anecdotal evidence.

Supplì are a type of Roman riceball — oval-shaped balls of rice mixed with tomato sauce and stuffed with mozzarella, then deep-fried. They’re sometimes called “supplì al telefono”

because of the way the melted cheese looks like a telephone cord going between the supplì and your mouth.

Supplì got their name from the Italian pronunciation of the French word for “surprise,” because supplì are always stuffed with a little surprise. Years ago, the stuffing was usually some type of organ meat like chicken liver, but today the most common supplì stuffing is a cube of mozzarella, and sometimes some meat sauce.

Supplì are one of the few foods that you’ll frequently see people eating in the street in Rome. Wrapped in parchment paper, they make the per fect little lunch or snack.

My friends and I love them so much that we decided to make them at home.

In theory, supplì are pretty simple — make a tomato-y risotto, form the supplì and stuff with cheese, dip in eggs, then bread crumbs, then deep fry. However, making them in a narrow-shaped kitchen with four girls really turns it into an adventure. I recommend gathering some friends and frying up a batch of supplì together — for Galentine’s day, perhaps?

Supplì Recipe Ingredients: 1 cup arborio rice (very important, arborio rice has a higher starch content so it will stay together when you make the rice ball) 5 oz. crushed tomato 1 large mozzarella, cut into ½ inch cubes 2 eggs 1 cup breadcrumbs Canola oil Salt

1) Burger King

Every supplì comes with a surprise inside, and when that filling is mozzarella cheese, you get the added pleasure of seeing the fresh mozz string out in front of you. JULIA TERRANOVA

They played harder

and when you play harder, good things happen.”

The Knights’ head coach Steve Pikiell said he was proud of Sanders’ toughness as he pushed through a season-high 39 minutes before praising another spectacular defensive effort.

It was the most evident when he managed to stay in front of Tony Carr, who he held to 17 points on 3-for-11 shooting on the night, on

Winning the battle of the boards against the Nittany Lions Saturday by a healthy margin of 39-27 (15-8 on the offensive glass) was crucial to taking the victory and it will be once again at the Value City Arena Wednesday.

For the first time since defeating Nebraska at the RAC in its first conference win of the season, the Knights will enter a game without rebounding from a loss in its previous match being one of the main talking points. Against the Buckeyes, the only rebounding Rutgers has to think about is off missed shots.

“We’re a good rebounding team, that’s something that we do,” Pikiell said in the postgame press conference at the Bryce Jordan Center. “It’s been something that we’ve done all year.

STREAK Knights have lost 4 straight games, but have sights set on victory over Indiana continued from back Rutgers has struggled to find consistent offense from any player during their four-game skid and head coach C. Vivian Stringer has tried multiple variations of the starting lineup to try to find a spark. Against No. 3 Maryland, that spark was junior guard Jazlynd Rollins, who scored a career-high 15 points, all in the first half.

“What’s been different for me is (that) I’ve been more focused in trying to keep my energy up for the team,” Rollins said. “(I am) just trying to step up and help out.”

Junior guard Shrita Parker has been the team’s leading scorer this year but has not been as prominent as of late. Leading the charge for the Knights during their last game against Iowa was sophomore forward Aliyah Jeune, who chipped in 17 points.

Even though the team has struggled throughout the season, Rutgers maintains a motivated and positive attitude every time it steps on the floor.

“We still have to have that fight no matter how many points were down,” Jeune said. “Don’t ever stop playing till the clock goes out. Just go into the next game with that fire.”

Stringer has not been satisfied at all with the way her team has been playing and even criticized her players after their loss to Northwestern just over a week ago.

“Unless we are much more aggressive and play with a much higher level of intensity and fight, we’re gonna have problems,” she said.

Given her history as a head coach, Stringer holds every one of her teams to high standards. Despite the inexperience on this year’s roster, this group is no exception.

Stringer has cited the numerous mistakes made by the players were because of them not being responsive to coaching.

Indiana has tons of firepower on offense and the Knights will have to employ their signature defense in order to contain the Hoosiers. Their ability to consistently score points, which

hinges on equal contributions from Shrita Parker, Aliyah Jeune and Kandiss Barber is even more important.

“Intensity, fight (and) focus,” said Stringer. “At the end of the day, that is what we have to do.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL RUTGERS-OHIO STATE, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.

Rutgers eyes 2nd straight road win Brian Fonseca Correspondent

Four days after earning its first-ever Big Ten road win since joining the conference three years ago, the Rutgers men’s basketball team has a chance to make the historic victory into a memorable streak.

The Scarlet Knights (13-11, 2-9) travel to Columbus to take on Ohio State (14-10, 4-7) Wednesday, where earning a win would be their first time winning consecutive road conference games since February of 2000 when they were a member of the Big East.

The last time they won consecutive road conference games in back-to-back fashion was in the month of February of 1991 while in the Atlantic 10 conference.

They will come into the Buckeye State riding high off a 70-68 win over Penn State in State College Saturday.

It was the largest scoring output of conference play for Rutgers and was led by Corey Sanders. The sophomore guard put together one of the best performances of his collegiate career, dropping a game-high 25 points while grabbing six rebounds and dishing four assists, carrying the load in the absence of injured backcourt partner Nigel Johnson.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL RUTGERS-INDIANA, TONIGHT, 7 P.M.

RU looks to end losing streak against Indiana Griffin Whitmer Associate Sports Editor

Consistency has been rare for the Rutgers women’s basketball team this year, to say the least. The Scarlet Knights (6-17, 3-7) are in the midst of a four-game losing streak and winning their next game, a home matchup against Indiana, will not be an easy task.

Rutgers faces off against the Hoosiers (158, 5-5) for the first time this year and will have to compete against one of the best players in the conference, guard Tyra Buss.

Buss is averaging 18.5 points and 4.7 assists per game this year and has had multiple games scoring at least 35 points. Recently, she was named on the Wade Trophy Watch List. The Wade Trophy is the oldest and most prestigious national player of the year award in women’s basketball.

The junior sensation did not play like herself in the Hoosiers’ last game though, as she scored just 7 points against Maryland on 2-for-17 shooting. Joining her for the Indiana game is forward Amanda Cahill, who is averaging 15 points and nine rebounds per game, giving the Knights the challenge of having to guard elite players in both the front and back court.

Head coach C. Vivian Stringer will try to get her team back on track and end a four-game losing streak when the Scarlet Knights host Indiana at the Rutgers Athletic Center tonight in a Big Ten matchup. DIMITRI RODRIGUEZ / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR / JANUARY 2017
