Parkinson’s patients plié into new movement class DAN COREY ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Dance is a physical form of artistic expression that focuses on individual movement, and one new program is employing the art of dance to alleviate symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

The Mason Gross School of the Arts (MGSA) is partnering with Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) to provide free movement classes twice a week for people battling Parkinson’s disease, a progressive condition that affects movement, according to Mayo Clinic.

The upcoming classes are an adaptation of a two-day symposium on Parkinson’s and dance that took place last October, said Jeff Friedman, an associate professor in the Department of Dance.

A primary coordinator of these classes, Friedman said the dance department hopes these classes can better serve individuals battling Parkinson’s, particularly those residing in the New Brunswick area.

“We feel strongly that the dance department can serve the community more,” he said. “We’re really happy to offer these (classes) for free to people who are challenging Parkinson’s, and we feel that dance has a place in the University that specifically relates to health sciences.”

Although Friedman acknowledged he is not a physician, he said physicians in the University community have recognized the beneficial

impact of movement classes on Parkinson’s patients.

In particular, he cited Dr. James Tepper, a distinguished professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Rutgers–Newark, as somebody who wholeheartedly favors the implementation of movement classes.

It is especially important for Parkinson’s patients to be active and mobile if they want to gain more enjoyment out of daily life, Friedman said.

“Some of the symptoms are balance problems and the ability to keep mobile,” he said. “Some aspects of Parkinson’s are due to increased freezing, literally becoming immobile, and (that is) a big intervention to your ability to live fully.”

In last October’s symposium, Friedman said the effects of dance instruction were considerably beneficial for Parkinson’s patients with even a limited amount of time for instruction.

MGSA and RWJUH are attempting to recreate these results on a regular basis by making the sessions twice a week for several weeks, Friedman said.

“What we saw at the two-day workshop … was that people were able to move freely under the instruction of someone who was trained specifically to target how to bring people with Parkinson’s toward movement in a safe way,” he said.

The movement classes will be SEE CLASS ON PAGE 5

AAUP-AFT faculty union rallies for fairer work contracts at Old Queens NATASHA TRIPATHI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

Faculty, staff and students protested yesterday afternoon at Old Queens to demonstrate resistance against the University administrative board sticking to the “subject to” clause, not considering salary raises for some time and proved solidarity in the University community.

People congregated at the corner of College Avenue and Hamilton Street before marching up and into the doors of Old Queens to protest while bargaining over faculty contracts goes on behind building doors.

“The bargaining is going on, and we’re going to head in in a minute,” said Sherr y Wolf, lead organizer for the American Association of University Professors and

American Federation of Teachers.

“Dick Edwards will be on one side, and our bargaining team is on the other.”

RBS to offer ‘Mini-MBA’ classes for military members, veterans ELMER CHANG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Rutgers Business School is readying to wheel out “Mini-MBA” programs, condensed versions of a full Master of Business Administration with military members and veterans in mind. THE DAILY TARGUM / MARCH 2013

For United States soldiers, transitioning back into civilian life can often be a daunting experience.

The lack of necessar y resources to further their careers post-combat poses a unique challenge for the deployed.

Beginning later this year, new “Mini-MBA” programs, priced at nearly $5,000 each, will provide militar y personnel with the means to combine their militar y skills with management skills for militar y members and veterans.

These programs, created by the Rutgers Business School (RBS), include the “MiniMBA” in Business and Management and the “Mini-MBA” in Engineering and Technology Management programs. “(Militar y members and veterans) will learn the differences, as well as similarities, between militar y strategy and business strategy,” said Margaret O’Donnell, program director.

The business and management program will focus on strategy, finance, marketing and sales, supply chain, law and ethics,

human resources and leadership, she said.

The engineering and technology management program will concentrate on concepts such as strategy, innovation, new product development and finance, among other topics, she said.

RBS offers a collection of other “Mini-MBA” programs, starting in 2003 as “samplers” of a fullMBA, before constructing programs specific to certain niche industries, O’Donnell said. One of these original programs is the one in Digital Marketing.

“It has international recognition and while of fered as an extremely popular open enrollment program, it is also the most popular program companies request be brought to their locations exclusively for their employees,” she said.

O’Donnell also said the “MiniMBA” in Digital Marketing is approved to be suppor ted by GI Bill funds.

“I understand that there is a lot of controversy over the issue of veterans not being provided the proper resources to

U. mock trial association pulls first place victory at Yale NATASHA TRIPATHI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

The Rutgers University Mock Trial Association (RUMTA) A-Team “mockers” found themselves in the limelight after achieving first place at the American Mock Trial Association’s Regional Tournament earlier this month.

RUMTA’s A-Team faced 29 teams at the event, hosted on Feb. 7 and 8 by Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

Rutgers finished with a score of 7 wins, 0 losses and one tie in trials against Cornell University, Yale University, Williams College and Fairleigh Dickinson University.

RUMTA is an extracurricular organization that allows interested students an opportunity to participate in collegiate level competitions and learn the ways of law, according to their website.

“Our job is to be professional and confident and know our stuff,” Michael Guggenheim, a School of Arts and Sciences junior, said.

Guggenheim said the team learns best by being challenged.

To learn the term “evidence law,” the team would have to explain it perfectly to their coach, and if they were unable to do it they would have to try again.

Craig Aronow, RUMTA head coach, plays the role of a very difficult and uneasily moved judge to trial and challenge his students, Guggenheim said.

“RUMTA is a very competitive organization. So much so that we have three separate teams we send to competitions, A, B, and C. Our A-Team is great to be a part of because we all have the same goal in mind,” Ashley Daniel, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said.

While Daniel enjoys receiving awards, she said the main thrill and passion lies in traveling to another person’s “home turf” and hearing “Rutgers University” called out at the podium to come up and get a trophy.

“It’s a sense of pride that’s bigger than each of us,” she said.

“And after a big win, you have this level of confidence that nothing can stop you from doing it again.”

Brandon Ferrick, a School of Arts and Sciences senior, said the team’s work ethic is impeccable.

They spend more than 12 hours a week prepping for trials, Ferrick said. The team has two mandatory practice days on Wednesday and Sunday, but also meets outside of the mandatory practice days just as frequently. Before the Yale tournament, Ferrick said the team was tweaking presentations to look authentic in their roles.

“It’s one thing to portray a character or witness, but its another thing to be so convincing that you believe that you’re actually sitting in a real trial,” he said. “The judges who score our rounds are often real trial attorneys or actual judges. In order to win, we need to present ourselves in a manner that appears to be as authentic as possible.”

While the team achieved a great success earlier this month, Ferrick said he feels they have not gained too many benefits from winning quite yet.

“Winning feels great — it comes with bragging rights, but until we win a national title, it doesn’t mean much,” Ferrick said. “Winning is definitely a confidence boost for a lot of the members of the team. It pushes us to be better and to not make mistakes in the future.”

Ferrick said winning helps the team realize that their case theory and substantive evidence is good so they can focus on the nit-picky parts of the performance that separates a team scoring nine out of 10 from a team scoring full points.

Shaleen Patel, a School Of Engineering senior and RUMTA’s A-Team Captain, said the success has helped boost A-Team’s confidence and the success the organization as a whole has earned

The Rutgers University Mock Trial Association secured first place at the American Mock Trial Association’s Regional Tournament Feb. 8 in New Haven, Connecticut. COURTESY OF GREG CUI them a lot of recognition across the country.

“Honestly though,” Patel said, “the rough stretch we had earlier in the season where we weren’t winning really pushed us to get better and figure out what we needed to do to start being really competitive.”

The next step is to compete in the Open Round Championships Series at Pennsylvania State University. Two-thirds of the nation’s teams have already been eliminated and there will not be any weak teams left in the field, Patel said.

In order to move onto the National Championship Tournament, which has only the top 48

teams in the country, A-Team needs to place in the top six of about 25 teams at ORCS. “There’s only one goal this organization hasn’t achieved and that’s the national title. But if we don’t take it one step at a time we’ll find ourselves on the outside looking in,” Patel said.

VETERANS Rutgers named one of country’s best schools for assisting veterans, U.S. Veterans Magazine says CONTINUED FROM FRONT

matriculate back into society after their tours,” said Kathy Ye, an RBS junior.

Having an MBA program dedicated to veterans would be beneficial not only in further developing their academics after being away for so long, but also refining their professional mannerisms, Ye said. “(Business teaches) you (how) to learn to accommodate for surprises,” she said. “While it’s not as intense as combat, business prepares you to be able to improvise to the best of your ability when circumstances are appropriate.”

Ye said abilities she has acquired thus far in her collegiate career may coincide with abilities militar y veterans have obtained in their militar y careers.

Because this particular graduate program sector of RBS is continuously working and developing, it must be in the interests of current undergraduate students, Ye said.

“I believe these programs will be beneficial to undergraduate students currently in business and ROTC programs. It allows them to explore their interests without having to sacrifice other interests. And, they will have something to look for ward to after returning from militar y tours,” Ye said.

She also commented on the University’s diversity, expecting the wide representation of

demographics will be welcoming to militar y members and veterans.

“I would imagine that because of (diversity), (militar y members and) veterans in the ‘MiniMBA’ program would have the advantage of being exposed to numerous different people in comparison to other veteran MBA programs”, she said.

O’Donnell added that she believes that these programs are fitting for veterans and militar y members.

“Their desire to supplement that education with business skills and to learn how the skills they have acquired translate into a business environment is where the fit is,” O’Donnell said.

RBS has a wide variety of opportunities available for its students, and since it already has a University-wide ROTC program, following a business route that caters to the students who are involved in ROTC is different and unique, said Rangasri Ramji, an RBS junior.

“I have definitely learned the skill to network and speak with different types of people. This skill is important ever ywhere, especially in the militar y when you are always surrounded by teams and are looking to speak with different people to get your message across,” Ramji said.

Even before the addition of new “mini-MBA” programs, RBS has been at the forefront of veteran-friendly business schools. It was ranked the fourth best business school in the country for veterans by Military Times last year.

Furthermore, U.S. Veterans Magazine ranked Rutgers as one of the nation’s top veteran-helpful institutions in 2013.

“Rutgers Business School is obviously ver y proud to be a highly ranked veteran and militar y-friendly school,” O’Donnell said. “Our role in executive education is a small par t of that, but obviously growing with our new initiative.”

She stated that the Rutgers University Office of Veteran and Militar y Programs and Ser vices directors Stephen Abel and Robert Bright deser ve the credit for this level of recognition.

Militar y and veteran students receive a warm welcome in their undergraduate and graduate classrooms not only from student peers, but faculty as well, O’Donnell said.

“In ever y direction, top down to bottom up, as well as laterally, Rutgers Business School supports militar y and veteran students,” O’Donnell said.

CLASS Practicing constant, fluid motion is important for Parkinson’s disease patients, Tamaki says CONTINUED FROM FRONT

beneficial not only for physical well-being, but also for emotional welfare, said David Tamaki, a teacher at the New Jersey School of Ballet.

The primary instructor of the new program, Tamaki said working with other Parkinson’s patients under his supervision would establish a sense of community.

“The main value is the social inclusion — to really feel (like) part of the community and not isolated,” he said.

The program is designed to enable greater mobility and balance to Parkinson’s patients, Tamaki said.

Practicing constant, fluid motion, as well as balancing with proper posture is necessary for patients because not doing so will make them gradually more immobile, he said.

“If somebody does not participate in moving and is not being active as much as possible, they’re going to slowly lose that ability,” Tamaki said. “(Participants) are given an opportunity to learn how dancers use balance transfers to stay in tune with weight (shifts) and certain postures.”

As a result of this need for continuous movement, the classes will be held Wednesday mornings at the RWJ Fitness Center on Kirkpatrick Street and Saturday mornings at the Nicholas Music Center on Douglass campus.

There are separate locations for weekday and weekend sessions because the dance studios at MGSA are already being used for undergraduate and graduate dance programs during the week,

Friedman said.

The weekday location at 100 Kirkpatrick St. is convenient because the RWJ Fitness Center is in close proximity to the hospital’s information and referral center for Parkinson’s patients, Friedman said.

“We needed to find a mid-week class facility available to keep people ‘in the flow’ of the benefits,” he said.

To ensure all participants continually receive the therapeutic value of the class, Tamaki said artistic expression opens the door for a greater internal focus of control.

“The arts allow people who are creative to express themselves and feel in control,” he said. “That’s something everybody likes — to feel in control.”

Promoting a sense of community with these classes will better solve or alleviate the negative symptoms of Parkinson’s, Tamaki said.

Confronting an issue such as Parkinson’s with a support network is more effective than attempting to do so on an individual basis, he said.

“Communities are the strongest (means) of solving problems,” he said. “This is a good example (of) having a group of people coming together to address something collectively — the impact it will have will be much greater than any one person.”

CONTRACTS “Subject to” clause enables management to levy salary freezes based on allocations, Richard says CONTINUED FROM FRONT

outside of Old Queens in support of the union’s bargaining team trying to eradicate the “subject to” clause in union contracts.

The “subject to” clause enables management to impose salary freezes based on contingencies or special conditions, Richard said.

“We want to disrupt business as usual, and make it as difficult as possible for the administration to continue running Rutgers in the way that they do,” Richard said.

Lucye Millerand, president of the Union of Rutgers Administration, American Federation of Teachers, a staff union, said faculty and staff have gathered because Rutgers has a lot of money for fair contracts for its employees who work hard, serve students and conduct research.

“Rutgers has the money for fair contracts with fair wages …

Barchi’s contract is not subject to anything, like the state budget,” she said.

Millerand said Rutgers staff has not seen any raises since 2010, and also wishes people like working graduate students and University police could be paid for their hard work.

Instead, many agree the University has money for ser vicing, executive, sports, and Rutgers has money for 79 employees who make over $250,000 in salar y, she said.

“I am pissed off today,” said David Hughes, professor in the Department of Anthropology. “This is a labor emergency.”

Last week, University Chancellor Richard L. Edwards admitted something that he has been trying to avoid admitting for a number of years, Hughes said. Edwards admitted to an unrestricted reserve where Rutgers hired an account to do a forensic on it.

What Edwards found, Hughes said, was $600 million, which has grown to be $708 million in the past few years.

Having denied that this money existed for a long time, the union would have you believe that there is both a nice collection of $708 million in unrestricted reserve, that the University could, but is unwilling to, put into the faculty’s salary package, Hughes said. “(But) Edwards says, such is not the case,” Hughes said.

“Those funds have already been designated for important academic purposes, including faculty, administrative and other research accounts.”

Hughes posited if there is $708 million designated for Rutgers academia, how and when will it be distributed fairly throughout the University?

“If every faculty member had a research account of $5,000, that would be $15 million,” Hughes said. “That’s good money, but lets multiply it by 10 because we

believe in faculty research. That’s $150 million. Add $192 million for maintenance, that’s $342 million of the $708 million designated.

What’s left over, $366 million lying around this place, undesignated.”

Hughes said the University could do a lot with $300 million dollars such as helping students with debt, paying teaching assistants better and distributing money to all the University libraries.

Hannah Roe, a School Of Arts And Sciences senior, said she came to support the protest with Rutgers Student Union and Rutgers United Students Against Sweatshops because it is “humane and right.”

“We’re here because we really support the faculty and staff here

at Rutgers,” she said. “We think it’s bulls--t that they want to put in the ‘subject to’ language (in contracts), (faculty and staff are) overworked, adjunct professors have to work at multiple campuses just to make ends meet.”

Roe said she understands that faculty teaching conditions are student learning conditions.

“Rutgers means a lot to me, and a lot of professors here have changed my life,” she said. “And I think it’s ridiculous that (they) are treated so disrespectfully here …

The students know we are all connected,” Roe said.

Hughes said it is important to ask why the administration is acting as if there is scarcity of University money, when there is

plentitude, and why they’re digging their heels in on this. He said he does not understand why they just don’t give us the raises or why they do not rid the ‘subject to’ clause.

“Partly I think it’s for power.

They just want to show that they are the boss, he said. “We’re going to show them something different today. We matter. We are the heart and soul of this place, let’s remind them of that.”

Dare to dine indoors, proper etiquette for ordering delivery NATALIE LIN STAFF WRITER

Combine the recent sub-zero temperatures with the first round of exams, and you get a huge increase in the amount of people ordering food for delivery. Whether you’re avoiding venturing out into the cold eskimo-style, having a late night craving or are just sick of dining hall takeout, here are some tips that will help you explore the various, delicious delivery options that New Brunswick has to offer.

DO:

Spice up a regular order by trying something new – after all, variety is the spice of life ... or at least, delivery. Be creative. For example, while crisps and omelets might be famous at Hansel and Griddle, the overlooked panini is an equally appetizing, and much healthier choice. After browsing Hansel’s choices of paninis, I decided to order the Cajun Turkey Avocado panini with a side of chicken noodle soup. My order arrived in 40 minutes. The panini itself was freshly grilled on soft, textured bread. Upon first bite, I was pleasantly surprised to find the turkey was moist and easy to chew. The melted cheddar cheese was warm and comforting alongside lettuce, tomato and avocado, and the spices accentuated the Cajun flare without being too overpowering. The soup, perfect for a cold, snowy day, was a flavorful broth packed with celery, carrots, tender chicken and corkscrew noodles. I would have never thought that a simple panini would be this satisfying — for $10.45, the combo didn’t disappoint.

DON’T:

Decide your order after you’ve called. There’s no quicker way to annoy the person taking your order on the other end of the line, and potentially miscommunicate your order by shouting to your friends, “Hey, what do you guys want?”

Luckily, many delivery places like Hansel have online websites, which allow customers to skip the call entirely, and simply submit their order from a phone or computer.

DO:

Stimulate your taste buds with exotic flavors. KBG Korean BBQ & Grill, located on Easton Avenue, is the only Korean restaurant in New Brunswick. They specialize in customizable Korean-style tacos, burritos and rice bowls, and boast a speedy 25-minute delivery time.

I opted for classic choices, such as the “I-Want-KBG bowl” for $8.99 and “LA Style Tacos” for $7.99.

When I first opened my KBG bowl, the presentation of the ingredients gave me an immediate déjà vu of a Chipotle bowl. It contained bulgogi (beef), pork and 11 different vegetables including rice, corn, kimchi cabbage, cucumber, bean sprouts, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, spinach and rice. The bowl had a sweet, savory taste that was slightly spicy. The LA Style Tacos included three soft-shell tacos complete with KBG smokey sauce, lime juice and an Oriental vinaigrette. After adding a bit of sauce and biting into the taco, I noticed it was overflowing with rice, lettuce, chicken, corn and tomatoes. There was a lot of rice falling out of the other side of the it, and my wrap was a bit flimsy, so I decided to use a fork to make life

KBG Korean BBQ & Grill’s “I-Want-KBG bowl” and “LA Style Tacos” explode with bold flavors. NATALIE LIN

Paired with a side of soup, Hansel’s Cajun Turkey Avocado panini is ideal on a cold day. NATALIE LIN easier. Despite this taco fiasco, the taco itself tasted light and fresh, but filling at the same time. KBG offers a variety of tasty, flavorful options that are refreshing compared to your typical delivery choices.

your food arrives, so don’t forget to mention your method of payment before wrapping up your phone call. Keep in mind that some delivery places charge an additional fee for card use.

Expect the restaurant to know you’re paying with a credit card.

Many delivery drivers do not carry a portable credit card scanner, and it’s also much easier to have your receipt ready to sign when

Remember to refrigerate your leftovers — they’re even better the next day!

DON’T:

DO:

DON’T:

Be cheap to your ser vers. Just as you must remember to men-

tion your method of payment prior to ordering, you must also remember to tip suitably.

Similar to how you’d tip a hairdresser or waiter, your deliver y person is also deser ving of a tip –– perhaps most deser ving, considering this harsh weather.

Remember, a tip may generally start at $2 to $3, and increase if the restaurant is further away, it’s snowing or raining outside or if the ser vice is excellent.

Open dialogue, education on child sex abuse necessary

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF CONTROVERSY KENYA O’NEILL

A

ccording to Violence Prevention and Victim Assistance, one in four women and one in six men will experience sexual abuse before the age of 18. This is called child sexual abuse.

While these rates are alarmingly high, it is possible that the actual number of people who experience child sexual abuse is even higher. Yet, meaningful discussion surrounding the issue is extremely rare. This can result in an inability to heal, which is extremely damaging to survivors and society at large.

Some typical responses to being a victim of child sexual abuse include low self-esteem, shame, depression, lack of trust, re-victimization (experiencing abuse again later on in life), dissociation and various problems involving sexuality and intimacy. There are many effects of child sexual abuse and every survivor responds differently, but it is necessary to mention at least a few of them so that those who have not experienced abuse can understand why a discussion is needed.

In general, health classes in high school as well as sex education programs in college fail to mention child sexual abuse.

Of the sex education and violence prevention classes and programs I have attend-

ed, not once has there been mention of child sexual abuse, despite the fact that there are, undoubtedly, people who have experienced child sexual abuse and have not fully healed from it. Time and time again, programs that advocate for safe and healthy sex and relationships fail to talk about something as traumatic as child sexual abuse, which ultimately deters many victims from having safe and healthy sex and relationships. The fact that many people who experience child sexual abuse also experience abuse later in life makes one thing very clear — when talking about

knowing if a person has experienced some sort of sexual trauma before can help physicians better understand their patients as a whole, giving insight on how to proceed with care.

Most people who know me know that I am extremely open and honest about my own histor y of child sexual violence, and I, like many sur vivors, have experienced many of the responses listed earlier. I distanced myself from the incidents. I did not admit to myself that I had been abused until many years later, and it had a ver y significant impact on my sexuality

“I refer to myself as a survivor rather than a victim because survivor implies that I have accepted it as a part of my history, and I am moving forward.” sexual and domestic violence, child sexual violence needs to be included in the discussion, because for many victims, child sexual violence may be the root.

However, these conversations cannot be limited to sex education classes and programs. Another area in which these conversations are seriously lacking is in the doctor’s office. While it is important that privacy is respected, it is equally important to know a patient’s history. Gynecologists and other doctors do not routinely ask their patients about sexual violence.

While it is certainly a touchy subject,

and intimacy. For many years, I navigated my abuse by myself because it was not mentioned in programs that were supposed to promote healthy sex, and as I get older, I realize that these programs had failed people like me. If just one program had told me that young children could never consent to being touched inappropriately, I could have admitted to myself that I had been abused much earlier than I did. I could have begun the healing process at a younger age, which might have saved me from the many unhealthy relationships I would

experience years later. Silence around child sexual abuse can result in loneliness and isolation. One of the most haunting moments of my life regarding silence around child sexual abuse was when I went to see a gynecologist at 16 years old, and she laughed at me when I told her that the medical procedure that she was performing on me was hurting me. She had not asked me if I had experienced any sort of sexual trauma. If she had, she (hopefully) would have been more understanding of my reaction.

The healing process of child sexual abuse is different for every survivor. For some survivors, healing comes much more quickly and naturally than others. The most important thing I tell myself and others is that the abuse does not have to define who we are. I refer to myself as a survivor rather than a victim because survivor implies that I have accepted it as a part of my history, and I am moving forward. Although I am healing, my story is not everyone’s, and I strongly urge that more professionals hold conversations about child sexual abuse in order to promote the healing of survivors as well as the potential decrease in child sexual abuses. As we all know, no problem ever went away by being ignored.

Sitcom should inspire Asian-Americans to reclaim voice

LAISSEZ FAIR: THE INVISIBLE BACKHAND LIN LAN

I

f any activity is sacred to our generation, it’s watching TV. I don’t know a single college student who doesn’t manage to squeeze in an episode of her favorite series on a busy day, whether it’s winter break or finals week. In an age where sometimes our most intimate experiences are with our Netflix accounts, I’m optimistic about the potential of ABC’s new series, Fresh Off the Boat, to bring an overdue issue to light.

As the first show to primarily feature an Asian-American family in twenty years, Fresh Off the Boat reclaims the slur, “FOB,” a phrase once used to describe any immigrants who haven’t assimilated into the mainstream. The series is adapted from a memoir of the same title by Eddie Huang, a Taiwanese-American restaurant owner based in New York. Huang narrates his childhood moving from Chinatown in Washington D.C. to a white, suburban neighborhood in Orlando.

In the show, Eddie and his family’s attempts to fit in are endearingly and painfully relatable, allowing Asian-Americans to finally see themselves on screen. The most

“

poignant moment for me was when Eddie came home from school demanding “white people food” for lunch because the other kids made fun of his Chinese noodles.

Growing up, I had watched my Chinese classmates consciously and subconsciously embrace the protection of “white people” norms, from wearing Abercrombie sweatpants to introducing themselves with pronounceable names like Jennifer and Kevin.

I didn’t blame them — it was a smart survival strategy, and one that we all adopted

In my view, assimilation has gone from a blessing to a curse. Blending in, which is usually desirable, is also just a step away from pretending that your ethnicity doesn’t exist. If Asian-Americans don’t acknowledge race, then we can’t point out racial discrimination when it happens. Affirmative action, racism in media and political representation: these are issues that affect Asians as a group, and they can’t be solved if we don’t even identify as a group. If we ever want to be truly represented and acknowledged by our media,

“If Asian-Americans don’t acknowledge race, then we can’t point out racial discrimination when it happens. Affirmative action, racism in media and political representation: these are issues that affect Asians as a group, and they can’t be solved if we don’t even identify as a group.” to some extent. For 10-year-old me, it was slowly drifting away from my mother when she started scanning a million coupons at the supermarket. I would pretend to browse magazines in a different aisle, hoping to avoid any association with the stereotype of cheap Asians. Except when complaining about strict parents, many of my peers and I rarely acknowledged our race, much less used it to form a sense of unity.

government and society, we first need to face the fact that we’re Asian, not white. Then, we need to dedicate the same time and effort to examine the complicated identities that have historically been given to other minorities.

Fresh Off the Boat is just the start of reclaiming the Asian-American identity – the real power lies within each person to tell his or her unique story. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve watched many of my peers start to embrace

their different upbringings, often with the same self-deprecating humor in the show. I think part of it comes from learning the value of being multicultural, but also from realizing that mother was in fact always right. From making you wear that ugly puffy jacket to feeding you weird Chinese soup when you got sick from not wearing that jacket, mom did a lot of uncool things that were ultimately for your best interest.

As young Asian-American adults, many of us joke about being the same loving, strict parents to our children, knowing we’ll never be able to match our parents’ grit. We shamelessly make a beeline for the biggest bargains – because hey, money is hardearned, and now we appreciate how much our parents sacrificed for us. It’s not that our experience was better than anyone else’s, but that acknowledging our differences has finally made it clear why our values have been shaped this way. The Asian-American experience isn’t just Asian plus American, but something else entirely, something yet to be defined. We have grown up straddling two worlds and balancing a barrage of conflicting identities, and I think we should be the ones who choose which to keep.

CONTINUED FROM BACK The Hawks, from down the Garden State Parkway in West Long Branch, boast a potent attack that’s racked up 15 goals in their two games.

But their greatest strength this season has been their tenacious defense.

The MAAC gave out its defensive player of the week award twice so far this season, and a Monmouth player earned the award in both times.

Head coach Laura Brand-Sias is confident in her team’s technical abilities, but she believes that in order to produce against

stubborn defenses like that of the Hawks, the Knights will need to become grittier.

“I think we need to learn to be scrappier, get more fight in our play,” Brand-Sias said. “We’ll look to work on 50/50 balls and 50/50 possessions, and how we’ll come out on top in those aspects.”

Moreover, playing against a team that neighbors one county away presents added incentive and emotion.

Senior captain Erin Turkot is well aware of that.

“Our games against Monmouth are always competitive.

It’s an in-state rivalr y, so we always want to come out on top against a team like them,” Turkot said. “They always play their hear ts out. Regardless of their abilities, they always play really hard and put in a lot of ef for t.”

Brand-Sias knows her team is capable of playing well, but if it is unable to maintain ferocity in its play during the entire game, things may become complicated for the Knights.

“If we can come out and play a solid game and fight, it’ll definitely be a good game,” BrandSias said. “Like anyone we play, Monmouth is a talented team. If we come out rusty and not winning the 50/50 balls, it’s going to be a long 60 minutes.”

Postseason aura strengthens desire to improve for Knights RYAN MORAN STAFF WRITER

After finishing 11th out of 13 teams at the Big Ten Championships, the Rutgers swimming and diving team sets its sight on the next step of the season.

The final team event remaining for the Scarlet Knights is the NCAA Qualification Meet at Princeton March 1.

If they qualify, the Knights will have the chance to compete against the best of the best at the NCAA’s on March 19 in Greensboro, North Carolina.

However, the narrative is that not many swimmers or divers from Rutgers will qualify.

There are 21 swimmers on this team and most of their seasons will be over after the qualifiers.

The Knights lacked in NCAA qualifiers last winter. Senior Greta Leberfinger and junior Joanna Wu served as the lone two members of the team to continue their seasons in the pool.

As soon as qualifiers end, the swimmers who did not make it will have close to seven months to prepare for the next season.

They turn their attention to maximizing their improvement for the next season in the hopes of making it to the NCAA’s when this time rolls around next year.

Swimming is a year-round sport.

Athletes train the full 12 months with short intervals of breaks from the grind sprinkled in here and there.

Spring practices for the collective team pick back up in late March or early April of this year.

The time off gives the team a chance to improve its strength and conditioning. Mentally, it serves as a bit of a refresher.

Head coach Phil Spiniello is not worried about keeping the swimmers and divers on the team focused during the offseason. He knows that their eyes will stay on the prize of a Big Ten Championship one day, despite the gap that currently exists in terms of talent.

Their thoughts and preparations remain on the meet to help the program.

“It’s the nature of our sport,” Spiniello said. “The girls have

grown up with it and most have gone through it once already in the program. It allows for us to set new goals and become even more motivated to move up in the Big Ten Conference meet standings, as well as improve each of the girls’ personal goals for next season.”

Unlike most sports that have the benefit of having a break, the swim team has to persevere through there short breaks. Upon that first

dip back in the pool, Spiniello said swimmers and divers need to stay constant throughout the year.

After an extended period of time out of the pool, it takes a couple weeks to kick it back in to second gear.

But, like riding a bike, it all comes natural with repetition.

“I think we are used to it by now,” Leberfinger said on the year-round training. “It has been our life. The good thing is that it’s

less intense and it allows you to focus more on school and enjoy your time at college. Swimming is just there and it allows for you to get back in to shape.”

For those like junior Joanna Wu, who lives far away from school, they don’t really get the chance to go home either.

However, that realization doesn’t stop the Kent, Washington, native from striving for her goals and leading the team.

“It gets hard, but at the same time, my parents want for me to achieve what I want so it gives me more power and strength to push through tough times,” Wu said. “It doesn’t affect me as much anymore because they know what goes along with the sport now.”

Training in a year-round sport means sacrifices have to be made. For Joanna Wu, that comes at the cost of being able to visit her family in Kent, Washington, but the junior swimmer said she embraces the challenge. TIAN LI / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / NOVEMBER 2014

One match separates the Rutgers tennis team from its first encounter with Big Ten Conference play.

Heading into their thirdstraight battle against an in-state rival, the Scarlet Knights (3-2) face Seton Hall today in a 1 p.m. match at the East Brunswick Racquet Club.

A win over the Pirates (13) would put the Knights two games over .500 entering their contest against No. 54 Mar yland at the end of the week. During their last matchup in April 2014, Rutgers cruised to a 6-1 victor y over the Hall.

In a sport where a lack of mental toughness can squander even perfect strategy, Rutgers showed its resilience on Friday against the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).

While their most recent loss at the hand of the Princeton was not forgotten, the frustration transformed into pure motivation — and it was obvious.

Whatever was said after the Knights were shutout, something clicked. They responded with a dominant victor y, pulverizing NJIT, 7-0.

against a struggling Seton Hall team that is 0-3 away from home.

With their only win of the season coming against Longwood University, the Pirates will travel south to East Brunswick after suffering yet another deflating defeat.

The Pirates failed to secure the all-important doubles point on Saturday and fell to Navy, 4-3, in their second match in less than 24 hours.

While Seton Hall seeks redemption after a painful loss, the Knights look to extend their streak against the Pirates to eight-straight.

In the process, they eye the continuity of building confidence before the commencement of conference play.

Bucca maintains that if his team continues to execute his plan, they can compete against any opponent.

“One of the most important challenges that (this sport) presents is for the players to try to stay within their skill set, to not have their level of play go down because of nerves, as well as to not try to over hit because of the particular challenges,” Bucca said. “… And they seem to do that well.

That says to me that we’re always going to be able to be fighting tough in every single match.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We had a chance in the last quarter to say, ‘Hey, this is our time. Let’s get it together. We know what they’re playing on defense, so if we can get our shots, the shots will go.”’

MEN’S LACROSSE RUTGERS 13, WAGNER 10

Knights clip Seahawks, rebound at home KEVIN XAVIER ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Be careful what you wish for.

When the Rutgers men’s lacrosse team took on Wagner at High Point Solutions Stadium yesterday, it welcomed what looked to be an easy win on paper.

Afterall, Wagner’s lacrosse program has won a mere three games in the last two seasons and the Seahawks (0-2) suffered a plucking by the Scarlet Knights last Februar y, 20-5.

But at 9-9 after three quarters, the game’s outcome was still undecided.

The Knights (2-2) answered, though.

They poured it on in the fourth, firing 15 shots at Wagner goaltender Anthony Peruso and netting four goals to secure a 13-10 victor y.

Senior midfielder Brian Goss, sophomore attacker Christian Trasolini and freshman midfielder Chad Toliver all scored hat tricks and junior attacker Scott Bieda scored two goals and fed three assists.

“We had a chance in that last quarter to say, ‘Hey, this is our time. Let’s get it together we know what they’re playing on defense so if we can get our shots, the shots will go,’” Bieda said.

Tied 10-10 with just under 12 minutes left to play, Rutgers drew an illegal body check penalty to give them an extra-man oppor tunity.

With five seconds left on the 30-second penalty, Bieda found freshman attacker Jules Heningburg who beat Peruso down low to give the Knights the lead they would never relinquish.

“We kinda run a wheel route with our righties,” Bieda said. “I came to the top ...I looked at Goss like I was gonna pass it to him and skipped it down to Jules (Heningburg) and he scored it.”

The second assist for Bieda turned into the deciding goal, with Toliver adding two goals with six and four minutes left Senior midfielder Brian Goss loads up a shot in yesterday’s 13-10 win over Wagner at High Point Solutions Stadium. Goss scored a hat trick to help the Knights get back to .500 on the year, ending a two-game skid. RUOXUAN YANG

When things don’t go according to plan, the only viable option is to leave the past behind and push forward.

After suffering its first defeat against a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) opposition at the hands of Fairfield last Saturday, the Rutgers women’s lacrosse team has been waiting for days to put the matter in the rearview mirror.

Fairfield. The Knights kicked off the match scoring the first four goals of the game in the intial 14 minutes of action.

But the issue has been maintaining the intensity during these runs throughout the entire 60 minutes.

Allowing the Wildcats four unanswered goals and the Stags five unanswered goals taught the Knights their lesson the hard way.

“This loss opened our eyes. As a team, we need to start playing Rutgers lacrosse the whole game,” sophomore Kristen Dunphey
