Finance advice, education aids abuse survivors KATIA OLTMANN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

When addressing issues concerning domestic violence, financial stability sometimes falls to the wayside. Now, a study conducted by Rutgers faculty is showing the importance of educating survivors to be financially stable.

A new educational curriculum created jointly by the Allstate Foundation and National Network to End Domestic Violence is now helping survivors of domestic abuse restart their lives and learn more about managing their finances.

A study conducted by Rutgers faculty, titled “Evaluating a Financial Education Curriculum as an Intervention to Improve Financial Behaviors and Financial Well-Being of Survivors of Domestic Violence”, has found the curriculum to be beneficial for domestic violence survivors in managing their finances following abusive relationships.

In December of 2014, three Rutgers faculty members conducted research evaluating the financial education curriculum. Their research indicated improvement in survivors’ financial knowledge, leading them to adopt better monetary practices.

Survivors of domestic violence benefit from financial education programs because they are often also victims of economic abuse, said Judy Postmus, director of the School of Social Work’s Center on Violence Against Women and Children.

“Economic abuse is a form of domestic violence and includes a range of tactics used by an abuser to undermine the economic independence of a current or former intimate partner,” she said.

Postmus said she has been researching economic abuse and its determinants since 2008.

Research tends to focus more on physical or emotional forms of abuse than economic factors, she said.

“Economic abuse itself isn’t new, but there has been very limited research done on the subject,” Postmus said.

“More research has been conducted on physical abuse followed by emotional or psychological abuse and then sexual abuse.”

An implication of this study is how it helped create a “policy window opening” for teaching financial management to domestic survivors, said Andrea Hetling, an associate professor in the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.

Hetling said her experience helping domestic violence survivors at a New York City non-profit organization showed her how economic instability could act as a barrier.

“Non-profits can only do so much without policies and funding for these new economic empowerment programs,” she said. “In my opinion, public policies need to offer the push to make such programs available to all survivors, just like we do with shelters SEE SURVIVORS ON PAGE 6

The number of students from the lowest-income families earning a bachelor’s degree jumped three percent since 2013, in comparison to the 33 percent increase in bachelor degree attainment for students from the richest families during the same period of time, according to a report from the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education.

The workforce is losing talent due to the exclusionar y education system in the United States, said Margaret Cahalan, director of the Pell Institute for the Study of Oppor tunity in Higher Education.

The Pell Institute was one of two organizations that recently published a repor t examining the dif ficulties students from low-income families have in attaining a college degree, compared to

students from families that earn higher incomes.

The gap in bachelor’s degree attainment between the nation’s wealthiest and poorest students by age 24 has doubled during the past four decades, according to the repor t.

The percent of students from the lowest-income families earning a bachelor’s degree since 1970, has inched up just three points, rising from six to nine percent by 2013.

In the same time period, college completion for students

from the richest families jumped from 44 to 77 percent.

“It is essential that we educate all U.S. citizens, not just those whose families have high incomes,” Cahalan said.

Data in the repor t came from statistics gathered by the government in the Census Bureau and National Center for Educational Statistics, Cahalan said. Pell Institute, along with an organization called Alliance for Higher Education and Democracy, pulled comparable data over time.

Cahalan said there are multiple causes for the growing completion gap.

Income inequality in the United States means that low-income families do not have the resources to af ford college educations for their children, Cahalan said.

If the children do attend college, they more frequently enroll in 2-year programs.

Another major factor is the decline in public funding of higher education, passing costs to SEE DIVIDE ON PAGE 4

RBS awarded distinction for architectural design MEGAN JOSEPH CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Rutgers Business School, located at 100 Rockafeller Road on the Livingston campus, was honored with an award from the New Jersey chapter of the American Institute of Architects on Jan. 9.

THE DAILY TARGUM / SEPTEMBER 2013

Started in 2009 and completed in 2013, the Rutgers Business School building, situated at 100 Rockafeller Road, commands attention at the entrance to the Livingston campus with its towering, criss-crossing glass and steel structure. And at a cost of $85 million, Enrique Norten, founder of the design firm, TEN Arquitectos, planned the building to house up to 240 classrooms and 2,026 students at a time.

Since its completion, the business school was awarded a 2014 honor award from the New Jersey Chapter of the American Institute of Architects on Jan. 9 during a dinner in Moorestown. Architects judging the competition complimented the building extensively as the award was gifted to Rutgers.

According to the company’s web-

site, Norten said TEN Arquitectos has completed many projects in both Mexico and the United States since 1986. The purpose behind the company’s design for the business building was to integrate the academic life of students to the local ecologic reserve.

Since 2009, TEN Arquitectos has also been working on renovating the College Avenue campus with intentions to create a more “urban plan.” Not only will this redistribute areas of the campus, but it will also change its urban character and reorganize the looping bus system.

The firm aims to build an Arts and Sciences Tower on the College Avenue campus to elaborate on their urban planning style, as an “assertive architectural gesture.”

Students travel to Haiti to promote surgical care

Fourth-year medical students Christine Mau and Chris Ojeda represent the International Surgical Health Initiative during the Health Across Borders science fair at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, N.J. COURTESY OF ZIAD SIFRI

SHAZIA MANSURI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Fourth-year medical students, Christine Mau and Chris Ojeda, along with surgical resident and researcher Amy Gore, traveled to Haiti this year to raise awareness for global health and promote surgical care.

With aid from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School associate professor of surgery and guiding mentor Ziad Sifri, and several other accomplished surgeons, the three students were able to perform 47 surgeries over the course of five days.

“We chose cases that were relatively simple, but would have a big impact on the patient and their quality of life,” Gore said.

“Because we were in a third world county without all the resources we would have in the United States, we were a bit limited in what we could do.”

Having no proper surgical unit set up and lacking critical hospital resources, the team was required to set up their own unit with instruments packed from home.

“Many patients had chronic hernias or hydroceles, while others had lumps and bumps that bled out,” Gore said. “One woman had a condition that required bi-weekly blood transfusions, which in Haiti, was not the easiest thing to come by.”

The students were given the opportunity to participate in the mission when they created International Surgical Health Initiative, a NJMS club that was a smaller-scale version of the non-profit organization originally co-founded by Sifri.

“You never know how students are going to react until you get there, because it’s more intense than regular rotations,” Sifri said. “The patients are more complicated, the diseases are more advanced and you’re working outside an environment you’re comfortable with, so it was gratifying to see them confident and productive.”

The team expressed hopes that future students, especially firstyears in the ISHI club would go on medical missions and apply their knowledge at an international level.

“I grew up in Lebanon, which was ravaged by civil war, and watched in admiration of the heroic work of the Red Cross who pulled injured people out of the rubble, risking their lives to save others,” Sifri said. “Since then, it was my dream to help people who have the highest need, and I hope this club will inspire students to do the same.”

TEN Arquitectos designed Rutgers Business School to be environmentally sound CONTINUED FROM FRONT

cylinder and a glass exterior layer,” according to the firm’s website, is a departure from the traditional campus typology.

The 5,368 students enrolled in the Rutgers Business School have the ability to learn in a technologically advanced setting in addition to utilizing the most advanced technology, according to its website. TEN Arquitectos said that the building is arranged in three “bands” that are arranged by classroom area, office and public space.

Kanika Jain, a Rutgers Business School junior, has had many classes where she has seen the same people over the years. Because of this, she said the building itself starts to feel comfortable and home-like. “[The Rutgers Business School building] has places to study on each floor and rooms to reserve for group projects or meetings, so it’s easy for people to meet up,” she said. “All the rooms are easy to find.”

Jain majors in Business Analytics and Information Technology and enjoys the general layout of the school, she said. The first thing she notices when she sees it is its simple and modern look, the amount of space and the white and red furniture.

Martin Markowitz, senior associate dean of the Rutgers Business School, believes that the new building has created a single home for everyone — faculty, students and administrators. He explains that the school allows professors and administration to teach students what business means today.

“There are 22 team rooms, more than 20 conference

rooms, wireless throughout the entire building and the newest technology is available to ever yone,” he said.

TEN Arquitectos designed the Rutgers Business School to be environmentally sound.

“There are a lot of windows that [allow] the building to use less electricity,” said Steven Learner, a Rutgers Business School first-year.

Learner takes many of his major requirement classes in the building. He plans to major in supply chain management, and thinks the new building will allow students to be inspired for higher learning.

“I don’t like the stairs. I hate heights,” said Learner, “But the computer area upstairs is a stretch of [electronics] for students to use, which I like. And the work rooms are great to get studying done.”

Markowitz said not only are there solar panels that produce electricity for the Rutgers Business School, but there is an interesting function of the giant open space behind the Livingston Plaza bus stop.

“A geothermal field behind the Janice H. Levin building and in front of the Livingston dining hall has 500 pipes, that heat and cool at different times of the year. [The pipes] direct water into the building,” he said.

TEN Arquitectos’s website said the building is “a project that reflects the ongoing shift in higher education that puts as much focus on learning and collaboration outside the classroom as it does inside the classroom.”

FEB. 9 A female Rutgers affiliate reported that a male perpetrator intentionally struck her on the buttocks with his hand as she was walking to her vehicle at 10:30 a.m. in the first floor stairwell of the University Center Parking Deck at 28 Easton Avenue in New Brunswick. The victim was not physically injured during this incident, according to a New Brunswick crime alert. The perpetrator was described as a 5 foot, 6 inch tall black male with no facial hair wearing a puffy olive green North Face jacket with jeans and a brown cap. Rutgers University Police Department asks that anyone with information contact the RUPD Detective Bureau at (848) 932-8025.

FEB. 9 TRENTON -- Two separate groups were arrested for possessing guns. The first are Arthur Washington and Deron Washington who were patrolling the city around 1 a.m. until officers conducted a motor vehicle stop.

During the investigation, officers allegedly saw an open container of alcohol and a handgun inside the SUV. The other was of Jireh Mathis and a 17-year-old male. They were arrested around 6:30 p.m. when detectives conducted a motor vehicle stop and the gun was found partially concealed in the backseat of the car.

FEB. 5 FORT LEE -- Andre Jamal Thompson, a Fort Lee native, was charged with felony murder, robbery and burglary on Thursday, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office said. He remains in the Prince George’s County Correctional Center in Maryland on $2 million bail and is waiting extradition to Bergen County.

The body of Jordan Johnson was found in the trunk of Thompson’s car in the Bronx last month.

FEB. 9 JERSEY CITY -- State Police Capt. Stephen Jones confirmed the identity of the man who jumped to his death Feb. 8, but the reason for his fatal fall remains unknown.

Norvell Robinson jumped from the New Jersey Turnpike extension bridge. Jones said a Jersey City police officer was the first to arrive on the scene and interact with Robinson before he jumped. The Jersey City Fire Department, the Jersey Police Department, the Emergency Service Unit and the State Police responded to the incident, but authorities arrived to find that the man already jumped from the bridge, falling about 50 feet to 60 feet onto the train tracks below, Jersey City Public Safety spokeswoman Carly Baldwin said.

Rutgers hosts 24-hour hackathon geared toward women SHAZIA MANSURI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Rosheen Chaudhry, a junior in the School of Arts and Sciences, created “FemInformed,” an application that would gather and organize information about feminist issues that affect women daily, and won an award for the best web application. Alyssa Plan and Constantina Scoullis, a junior in the School of Arts and Sciences, created a HTML-based file that would allow users to place themselves as the “left shark” from Katy Perry’s Super Bowl Performance, and won an award for the best silly app. The apps, serious and silly alike, was the product of 24 hours of non-stop coding at Rutgers’ first HackHers, a hackathon geared for women, novice and skilled, at breaking into a world largely commanded by men.

The hackathon, comprised of coding workshops, tech talks and snack breaks at the Busch Student Center, housed more than 200 students, mentors and interested employers — including Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs and Colgate-Palmolive — and produced apps and Google Chrome extensions starting the morning of Feb. 7 and ending at daybreak Feb. 8.

Feminizing porn: vouyerism, sexuality as seen in erotica A WOMAN’S PLACE IS IN POLITICS

MARGARITA ROSARIO

T

hinking about pornography and femininity’s role in its proliferation often incites questions about the permanence of patriarchal culture within our bedrooms and sexual spaces. I have, as of late, been pondering whether sexual liberation in the presence of dichotomous (yet seemingly “consensual”) power relations can in fact theoretically function without contradiction. The opposite has crossed my mind –– whether sexual liberation must include the opportunity for dichotomous (and actually consensual) power relations. That is to ask, is fetishizing feminine subversion detrimental to the feminist movement as a whole? Or can fetishizing for purposes of pleasure rather than power exist within our conversations on “sexual liberation”? The question here is not whether the porn industry (or any “industry” of porn) could or would allow for this sort of sexual revolution in the realm of voyeurism. It is clear that given the porn industry’s capitalist incentive to exploit the images and functions of vulnerable bodies, it can never exist within any sort of revolution that carries the predicate “sexual.” The question, then, becomes –– In a domain of consent, interest, and desire, when does subversion cease to be subversive?

A few incidents have brought these questions to mind over the past few

weeks. The first is the alarming demand on social media websites for the creation and proliferation of feminist pornography by people who think it can exist (a group that I certainly identity myself with). Among various working hypotheses, feminist pornography is often described as “recasting the dominant image of porn” through internal and external practices of consent, “positive representations” and better working conditions.

Yet, there seems to be another layer of scrutiny that I would wish to add to the discourse on feminist porn. This brings

hijab), but it is also a blatant exploitation of a religious symbol for the purposes of sexual fetishism –– transforming the exploitation of piety, the f---ing of the “virgin,” into the sexual motif.

Mia Khalifa, even with her clear disinterest in the cognitive realm of feminism, claims her actions to be “subversive,” bringing us back to our original concerns with opening up spaces for subversion within feminist contentions. What is it to be both feminist and subjugated? Needless to say, I see Mia Khalifa’s appeal to “subversion” (of Islam, that is) as unwor-

“A few weeks ago, Lebanese porn star Mia Khalifa shocked the international public by launching a video in which another woman (seemingly of Arab descent) gave a porn dude a (very intense) blowjob while, wait for it, wearing a hijab.” me to the second incident that provoked my interest in so-called “subversion.” A few weeks ago, Lebanese porn star Mia Khalifa shocked the international public by launching a video in which another woman (seemingly of Arab descent) gave a porn dude a (ver y intense) blowjob while — wait for it — wearing a hijab.

A hijab is the headscarf worn by many Muslim women as a sign of religiosity, which Muslim women and others adorn in order to show modesty. Not only is the presence of the hijab in a sexual situation an embarrassingly inaccurate representation of how hijabi Muslim women (to my knowledge) have sex (that is, without

thy of any status within the realm of “feminism” and less within the realm of sexual liberation. It is fair to categorize the dissemination of a video in which a woman gives a blowjob while wearing a hijab a clear use of subjugated images for their further subjugation.

An interesting aspect of feminist pornography, and why I think it can exist, is that it seeks to reorder the way that we imagine gender and sexuality. Indeed, many feminist contentions in the past few decades have emphasized the need to acknowledge each individual’s role in constructing norms of gender and sexuality. In this way, it is quite possible for

pornography to function as a repository of positive images, aiding those who flourish in voyeurism achieve a sense of comfort both throughout the duration of the program and afterwards, when the manifestations of the videos will necessarily impact the way they conduct their bodies and what they view as sexually desirable and more importantly, sexually acceptable.

When the only pornography that is readily accessible is that which forces women (or “feminine” bodies) into positions of submission and inferiority (let alone into skinny, white, shaven bodies if they are to be considered “desirable”), the status of women in the sexual realm is diminished to the passive and necessary role of following command and doing it well.

Pornography (as it is) strips women and “feminine” bodies of their sexuality, making the only relevant actor he who has been given the role of dominator.

Were these images to be transformed into our sexual spaces, it would take more than just newspaper columns and actively preaching feminists to configure ways to give women positive views of themselves.

Equally as important is giving men positive views of women. Reversing the effect of repressive pornography would demand a reinvigoration of the way we imagine our sexual spaces, our power relations and our relationship with spaces and acts of voyeurism.

Portrayal of Israel in American media is inherently biased COMMENTARY COURTNEY HAN

O

ver winter break, I embarked on a trip that changed my entire perspective on life. For ten days, I travelled through Israel with a student organization called the David Project. We went from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. This was my first time traveling to the Middle East and I had no idea what to expect –– would ever yone be riding on camels?

Would there be bombs going off left and right? It turns out that my idea of what Israel would be like was completely wrong.

Ever yone had the latest cellphones and almost ever yone spoke English and wore clothes just like mine. In Tel Aviv, I felt like I was in New York City, aside from the fact that all of the street signs and store banners were in Hebrew. Most importantly, I never felt afraid or unsafe.

What I did feel was foolish for thinking that Israel would be a scar y place.

Thanks to the seemingly constant barrage of bus bombings and random

“

terrorist attacks I’d seen on American news, I had formulated a violent image of Israel. American news media has created a stereotype of Israel as a dangerous and wholly unsafe, war-driven countr y.

At the seminars I attended, in which I heard Palestinians and Zionists alike, along with teachers, business leaders,

working between the two groups to negotiate a fair solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I also spoke to many students around my age that spend their free time watching television, listening to music and living completely normal young adult lives.

Just being able to walk around the dif-

Thanks to the seemingly constant stories of bus bombings and random terrorist attacks in the middle-east on American television news, I had formulated a violent and stereotyped image of Israel.” journalists, peace activists and army generals, I had the chance to formulate my own opinions and views about the countr y and conflicts within it. They were completely different from what I had been led to believe from American news outlets. For example, I met several Palestinians that had Israeli friends and acquaintances and were actively

ferent cities in Israel and see for myself what ever yday life was like made me realize how similar those cities were to American cities.

As an aspiring broadcast journalist, it was disappointing to discover the disparity between images American media propagates of Israel and the reality I was able to experience. The media attracts a

larger viewership with dramatic stories and tragic events, and it is causes them to stray from a higher standard of ethics.

This biased reporting contributes to diminished awareness because we take the information that the media gives us as the absolute truth. This is how conflict between different groups is sustained. If we are constantly seeing the worst side of a countr y, whether it is Israel or anywhere else, than we do our best to avoid that countr y, its conflicts and people from that countr y.

There is no easy solution to this problem. The media is inherently biased, but if we were to completely stop watching, then we would not be informed about current events at all. Additionally, it is not viable to visit all of the places that are in the news. What we can do is be skeptical of what the media tells us, and do our best to formulate our own opinions.

One of the other keys to the game, according to senior guard Syessence Davis, will be how the Rutgers’ last loss came on Knights come out to open the game.

STABILITY RU returns six players who saw significant action last season in gameday lineup CONTINUED FROM BACK some of the mistakes he made early in his career rounded them out and expects limited problems on the mound.

“The experience will be really important,” Brey said. “I know last year, in my first few games, I was a little shaky coming in because I didn’t know how to react if I was walking a few guys or getting hit around a little bit. But now, I have a lot of experience, and I feel I can come out there and throw my game.”

While the depth in the rotation and pen leaves optimism for the Knights, there were some vital losses on the field and in the lineup With the likes of former Knights Nick Favatella, Brian O’Grady, Lou Clemente and Pat Sweeney graduating, Rutgers loses the second to fifth spot in its lineup to graduation.

While the Knights lose some top bats, they return six players who saw significant starting time in the lineup, including senior outfielder Vinny Zarrillo and sophomore shortstop Christian Campbell.

“That’s the big question,” Litterio said of losing four starters. “[The offense] is where I think we are going to need to step up the most. Defensively, I think we will be okay — [we’ve] got guys in the right place and who can field the position. I think when you take out number two, three, sometimes four and fifth spot in the lineup, that’s a big spot 1-5. But I think we have the guys who could do it.”

Zarrillo, also named a team captain along with Brey and ju-

nior infielder John Jennings, thinks Rutgers can make up for it despite the challenges losing four productive bats in the line up presents.

“It’s going to be really dif ficult,” Zarrillo said. “Those guys had great years, but I think we are going to have guys step up for us and fill those roles pretty well. I think we have pretty good cohesion on the team, and we are all motivated to one goal and that’s winning.”

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Chemistry serves as catalyst on track, field MIKE O’SULLIVAN STAFF WRITER

One aspect of track and field that sets it apart from other sports is the number of different events and competitions available in the sport.

The track events can include short and long sprints, along with middle and long distance runs.

In the field, the spectrum of events includes jumps, the pole vault and weight throw, namely.

This multitude of events sometimes leads to cause divisions and cliques to develop within a team, but the Rutgers men’s track and field team remains a tight-knit unit despite their different competitions.

“I think it is a great group of people this year,” said head coach Mike Mulqueen. “Unfortunately, we have some injuries this year. This can affect team chemistry because no one wants to see their friends out with injuries, but we’ve been doing our best to stay positive.”

Team leaders like seniors Corey Crawford and Kadeem Douse have missed some time with injuries, but they have continued to be active members in team practices and are helping to keep the team’s morale high.

Other key athletes have taken on more of a leadership role this year as the Scarlet Knights continue to inch closer toward their first indoor Big Ten Championships.

Junior sprinter Rajee Dunbar believes the closeness of the team has led to better performances for the Knights this season and that the team has bonded more than in past years.

“We’re always all together,” Dunbar said. “I feel like the camaraderie on this team has continued to increase more and more, where we’re seeing throwers hang out with sprinters and sprinters hang out with jumpers.

The whole track and field team has become like a big family.”

Over winter break when preparation for the indoor season really began, the Knights were in the midst of a feeling-out process. Implementing freshmen and transfer, athletes have taken some time to mesh.

As the weeks have gone by, though, the team has really started to get familiar.

“Even though track can be an individual sport, everyone on the team has meshed really well,” said senior sprinter D’Andre Jordan. “We all hang out with each other. And at the meets, everyone is cheering each other on. It’s just always a good team environment for us.”

There have never been any indications of sects or cliques on this year’s indoor team, making it a more relaxed environment during workouts and races.

The Knights will joke around and laugh with each other while pursuing their goals and still working hard to achieve them.

Assistant coach Robert Farrell is in his third season with the Knights, and he believes this is one of the more focused and tight-knit groups all throughout the team he has seen in his coaching career.

“I think this is the tightest group we’ve had since I’ve been here over the last few years,” Farrell said. “Everyone has gotten better across the board and become more united, even taking care of themselves better away from the track. They’ve all become great students of their sports and have continued to raise expectations of themselves and also the expectations of their teammates. It’s been a fun group to train.”

Jordan, Mack attempt to find positives amidst losing streak GREG JOHNSON CORRESPONDENT

The Rutgers men’s basketball team is reeling right now, and some frustrations are beginning to mount within the program.

But not if you ask second-year head coach Eddie Jordan, who continues to downplay the fact the Scarlet Knights haven’t won a game in nearly a month following Jan. 11’s historic upset over then-No. 4 Wisconsin.

“I don’t have a losing streak in my mind,” Jordan said following Rutgers’ (10-15, 2-10) eighthstraight defeat Sunday against No. 20 Ohio State. “I’m not even concerned about a streak. I understand where we are, and I understand what’s happening, but ever y day is a fresh day — a day to get better, to cherish the position you’re in.”

That upbeat perspective is among few positives the Knights can cling to at this point given their remaining schedule.

Five of their final six regular season games come against the top-six teams in the Big Ten standings, beginning Thursday against Purdue, which has knocked off three ranked conference opponents.

The outlier — March 7’s finale at Michigan — is unlikely to of fer much solace either. Despite losing their leading scorer for the season, the Wolverines held the Knights to their second-lowest scoring output of conference play in Michigan’s four-point win Jan. 20 in Piscataway.

What does it all mean?

If it doesn’t climb out of its rut soon, Rutgers could eventually succumb to Northwestern — the only team with fewer conference wins than the Knights — and hit rock bottom for the last-place seed in next month’s Big Ten Tournament.

It is a difficult reality for the Knights to fathom, knowing they were minutes away from improving to 3-2 in the Big Ten before

“Nobody wants to lose. ...

[Winning] just didn’t happen today and it hasn’t happened in awhile, so it’s kind of frustrating.”

MYLES MACK Senior guard

squandering a late lead Jan. 14 at then-No. 14 Maryland.

Little has gone right since.

“Of course it is,” senior guard Myles Mack quipped when asked Sunday if losing is getting to him.

“Nobody wants to lose. We just came out and thought we could possibly win this game [against Ohio State]. It just didn’t happen today and it hasn’t happened in a while, so it’s kind of frustrating.”

And yet, Mack insists the team’s morale remains high.

After going undefeated at St. Anthony High School (New Jersey) in 2010-2011, the captain has been through worse times than this in four years at Rutgers.

“We still have games left, so if we put our heads down, nothing good is going to happen,” Mack said. “We still have the conference tournament, so we’re just looking forward from here.”

It is a part of a new program culture Jordan has routinely preached since inheriting a disastrous situation following former head coach Mike Rice’s player abuse scandal in 2013.

“I tell them, ‘If there’s any frustration, turn that into determination,’” Jordan said. “We tr y to coach them the right way. We’re ver y respectful and we push them. We challenge them; we say the right things. … We don’t curse, we don’t get in anybody’s face and we remind them that this is the way that this staff is going to coach, and you have an opportunity to learn and get better.”

The Knights are staying patient with that message, even if it is becoming tougher and tougher with each loss.

“Nothing’s changed. We’re still coming into the gym, working hard ever y day,” said junior guard Bishop Daniels. “The challenge now is more of the X’s and O’s, and tr ying to figure out what it is that we need to do to get better [by] breaking down film, going out there and Jordan teaching us the different things of what we need to be doing and correcting.”

Knights celebrate Senior Day sweep over Hoyas, Friars RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER

With emotions running high on Senior Day in the last regular season meet, feelings translated into a dominating performance on Saturday at the Rutgers Aquatic Center.

The Rutgers swimming and diving team dominated Georgetown and Providence, defeating the Hoyas and Friars by scores of 181.50-94.50 19578, respectively.

“I was really happy with how we did Saturday. To send the seniors out with two wins at our home pool is exactly what we wanted to do,” said head coach Phil Spiniello. “I was happy with how we showed up as a team. We had a lot of good signs of what we have to do in two weeks.”

Before the meet, the four seniors of the team, Greta Leberfinger, Brogan Lee, Caroline Carlisle and Lindsay Gibson-Brokop, were honored for their service as Scarlet Knights.

Knowing it would be their last time competing at their home front with fans and teammates, it was an emotional ceremony for the seniors.

At the day of the meet, Rutgers was ready and it showed from the start. The Knights swept the first three spots in five of the events they competed in, while also coming in first place in 12-of-13 events.

The four seniors were impressive in their final meet.

Carlisle placed second in the 500 freestyle (5:09.99) and fourth in the 200 freestyle (1:57.08).

“I’m ver y happy because it was only two seconds off my best time and right on with my best this year,” Carlisle said.

“The extra rest that we got this

week definitely helped to make a difference.”

Gibson-Brokop placed third in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:01.28.

“I wasn’t too excited [about my time],” Gibson-Brokop said. “You’re body is starting to adapt to the different amount of work. I try to ignore what the times are and focus on race plans or the specifics of a race. ”

Leber finger placed first in the 100 breaststroke with a season-best time of 1:03.41, along with tying for first in the 100 free touching the wall at 53.17.

Lee was able to get a season-best time of 5:13.01 in the 500 freestyle along with a result of 2:15.47 in the 200 butter fly.

During the tri-meet on Saturday at the Rutgers Aquatics Center, senior Greta Leberfinger ended her final home performance on a high note. TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / NOVEMBER 2014

On the diving boards, it was the young guns who stole the show.

Freshman Addison Walkowiak continued her stellar rookie season, taking first in the one-meter dive and three-meter dive.

To complement her results, sophomore Alyssa Black and freshman Morgan Engel both followed Walkowiak with a pair of second and third place finishes in the same two diving events.

Evidently, the extra rest that the team gained leading up to the meet paid dividends.

“You can tell that we are starting to rest with less practices,” Spiniello said on his team’s performance. “It will continue to show the next ten days and we are looking for lifetime best swims at the Big Ten Championship meet. I think that how we swam gave people a lot of confidence of what we will be doing two weeks from now.”

Overall, it was an impressive last outing for the Scarlet Knights before the Big Ten Championships are held in Columbus, Ohio. It gave them many positives to assess and improve on in the next nine days.

“This meet definitely raised our confidence going into our conference meet,” Carlisle said.

“A lot of people were going season best so it’s definitely a good sign going forward.”

GYMNASTICS NO. 22 OHIO STATE 194.875, RUTGERS 193.800

RU fails to stay on beam, falls on road at No. 22 Ohio State EVAN BRUNO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Rutgers gymnastics team suffered yet another heartbreaking loss against No. 22 Ohio State on Sunday at St. John’s Arena.

The Scarlet Knights (5-6, 0-4) posted a decent score of 193.800, but the total was not high enough to upset the Buckeyes’ 194.875.

What makes the loss even tougher to handle is that the Knights held the lead entering the final event.

Entering the balance beam, Rutgers was right there in its fight with Ohio State. With a solid performance to close out the meet’s final event, the Knights could have picked up their first Big Ten win in program histor y.

But when the big stage presented itself, Rutgers slipped up.

Senior captain Luisa Leal (9.300), junior Jenna Williams (9.200) and senior Anastasia Halbig (9.025) all fell off the beam, and Rutgers faltered with a low score of 47.800 in the event.

Ohio State (5-2, 2-2) then took advantage of the error.

“Three girls fell off the beam,” said head coach Louis Levine. “You don’t score well when you don’t stay on an event.

It’s just a simple part about it.

If we didn’t mess up on beam, we probably would’ve beaten [Ohio State].”

No one on the team could explain how or why three gym-

nasts fell off the beam, as it is something that rarely occurs in gymnastics.

Still without a Big Ten win under their belts, the gymnasts admitted that the pressure on the big stage may have crept in.

“We still haven’t had a meet where we know we’re winning and we feel that we’re going to win,” said Leal. “We kind of tend to get scared a little bit and the pressure gets us. That’s what we have to work on.”

Despite the errors, Rutgers did post some competitive scores on beam.

For the second consecutive meet, sophomore Claire Jones scored 9.800. To complement Jones’, junior Claudia Salinas (9.775) and freshman Elizabeth Groden (9.725) both posted improved scores in the event.

Rutgers put up a 48.475 on the uneven bars to begin the meet.

All six gymnasts who competed in the event posted scores of 9.600 or higher. Williams (9.775) and sophomore Charly Santagado (9.750) led the Knights in scoring on beam.

On the vault, Rutgers manufactured a team score of 48.675.

Sophomore April Baker led the way, tying a season-high mark of 9.825 in the event. Meanwhile, freshman Sahara Gipson scored a 9.750 and Williams followed up by adding a 9.775.

The Knights continued their consistency on the floor exercise, posting a score of 48.850.

Jones and senior captain Emma

Hoffman led their squad in the rotation by both posting scores of 9.775. Gipson added a 9.750, and Santagado contributed a 9.725.

Despite the continuity in conference losses, Williams believes her team is close.

“We have to be able to finish the meets out,” Williams said.

“We’re confident in ourselves in practice. We have to be able to translate that into competition to finish out the meet. I can’t explain what happened.

It could be a lack of focus or a lack of confidence. It’s just hard to say.”

BASEBALL RUTGERS ENTERS INAUGURAL BIG TEN SEASON WITH OPTIMISM

RU returns pitching stability, youth at-bat TYLER KARALEWICH CORRESPONDENT

Sitting with Director of Baseball Operations Glen Gardner before the Rutgers baseball team took to practice inside the indoor practice bubble outside of High Point Solutions Stadium, the man affectionately known as “Beef” had plenty of good things to say in his 15 minutes of downtime.

In his 25 years at Rutgers — his first 18 as a hitting coach under former head coach Fred Hill and the last seven in his current role — Beef admits to rarely being wrong.

He predicts something special this season — the Scarlet Knights’ first in the Big Ten — and sees the team doing some things they haven’t done in recent history. While Gardner admits he could be wrong, his confidence and conviction strengthen his resolve.

Looking at the crop of talent returning and coming into the program, it is hard to disagree with someone who has been around Rutgers baseball for so long.

The Knights have a surplus of pitchers who gained valuable experience last season. Rutgers returns two weekend aces from a season ago in junior left-hander Howie Brey and sophomore right-hander Gaby Rosa.

With the transfer of junior left-hander Mark McCoy of Wake Forest to fit in the rotation, head coach Joe Litterio feels the rotation and bullpen will be a strength this year, where last year it struggled at times.

“This year is different on the mound,” Litterio said. “Last year … we’re thinking ‘What do we have?’ This year we know what we have. It’s more about who is going to step up and take the spots. Right now, the front-runners are Howie on Friday, Mark McCoy on Saturday and probably Gaby Rosa on Sunday. Kyle Driscoll and Kevin Baxter will both be guys who will fight for some time. We have plenty of guys who can do it — it’s gonna be who does it.”

With Brey having another year of experience under his belt and a season as the team’s ace, he is confident moving forward.

The newly elected team captain admitted that Senior Vinny Zarrillo returns for his senior season in 2015 as one of three captains. He brings experience back to a youthful team, after posting a team-high 43 RBI and second-best .328 batting average last year. TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / APRIL 2013

Knights seek revenge on balanced Terps CONOR NORDLAND

The last loss the Knights suffered came at the hands of the Terps on Jan. 15, when Maryland rolled to a 71-59 victory.

It has been the only loss Rutgers has dropped in the past month. Since then, it has won by an average margin of 7.4 points in the past six games.

The emphasis on team play and sacrificing personal stats for collective achievement has been the main reason for the Knights’ success recently.

With its six-game winning streak on the line, the Rutgers women’s basketball team heads into a crucial matchup against No. 5 Maryland tonight.

After picking up two wins against ranked opponents during their winning streak, the No. 18 Scarlet Knights (18-5, 9-3) are seeking to get even with the Terrapins (21-2, 10-0).

things that help us win,” said senior forward Betnijah Laney. “So if that’s rebounding, making the extra pass, communicating and helping each other out, those things have really been the difference these past couple games.”

Rutgers has been able to win big, while also squeaking out close victories recently, a testament to their collaborative team effort.

But Maryland represents a different type of team and a different type of matchup for the Knights in this contest.
