‘Gender Watch’ observes 2016 Clinton race via Twitter account NOA HALFF CONTRIBUTING WRITER

While many students may have expected Hillary Clinton to run for the United States presidency, not many would anticipate a Twitter page dedicated to “gender watching” presidential candidates.

In light of the announcement of Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP) created a Twitter account dedicated to “gender watching” the 2016 presidential campaigns.

CAWP, a unit of the University’s Eagleton Institute of Politics, is recognized as the leading source of scholarly research and data about American female political participation, according to its website.

The center aims to provide knowledge about female political participation in order to enhance women’s roles and leadership SEE ACCOUNT ON PAGE 6

The first-year Bryne seminar, “A Woman for President?,” taught by Ruth Mandel, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics, focuses not only on the possible presidency of Clinton, but a history of women in politics, the role of gender in candidacies and how the media reacts to women in politics.

NJ Transit taps possibility of raising fare about 9 percent starting in 2016 NATASHA TRIPATHI ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR

New Jersey Transit commuters could be walloped with a 9 percent

fare increase in 2016 as the agency faces a budget shortfall.

As an operator of commuter trains, buses and light rails, NJ Transit provides service to an

average of 954,740 passengers per weekday, according to a NJ Transit study in 2014.

To celebrate every touchdown scored by the Rutgers football team, Sigma Pi fraternity hosted “Trees for TDs,” a community service project that aimed to plant a tree for every athletic victory on Sunday, no matter how small.

The event was held at Shiloh Community Gardens in conjunction with Elijah’s Promise, a New Brunswick-based nonprofit organization that strives to end poverty in the New Brunswick community.

“Trees for TDs” was initially started as part of Sigma Pi’s Altruistic Campus Experience (ACE) project last year,” said Sigma Pi President Brett Donovan. “‘Trees for TDs’ is something very unique,” said Donovan, a School of Arts and Sciences junior.

“I think it catches everyone’s eye and brings the community together to plant some trees and give back.”

Developed by John Passero, one of Sigma Pi’s founding fathers, in 2014, the fraternity trademarked the name “Trees for TDs” just after the completion of its first event.

Last year, 40 trees were planted outside of High Point Solutions Stadium on Busch campus by the fraternity to serve as a daily reminder of achievements made by the Rutgers football team and other students, according to Sigma Pi’s official website.

­­VOLUME 147, ISSUE 45 • UNIVERSITY ... 3 • TECH ... 7 • OPINIONS ... 8 • DIVERSIONS ... 10 • CLASSIFIEDS ... 12 • SPORTS ... BACK

“For us, it’s about giving back to Rutgers and the New Brunswick community,” Donovan said. “This year, we’re not doing it as part of our ACE project. We decided to trademark ‘Trees for TDs’ as our own event, and we’re going to keep doing this every year.”

With Earth Day approaching this Wednesday, and an increase in public awareness regarding environmental issues, “Trees for TDs” seemed like the ideal project, said Sean Giblin, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore and Sigma Pi ACE Chair.

Giblin said that he was drawn to join the fraternity because of the potential to do something big in greek life.

“There’s a lot of risk involved in (coordinating large events like this), but there’s also a lot of reward in that risk,” he said. “‘Trees for TDs’ was funded in part by the Inter Fraternity Council and the Alumni Association,” he said. The trees were purchased from Barton Nurser y, located in Edison.

Unlike Busch campus, Cook campus and Douglass campus, which boast more open spaces, the College Avenue campus is predominantly filled with buildings, Giblin said. The fraternity’s aim to support urban forestr y is SEE TOUCHDOWN ON PAGE 4

People could conserve energy by using efficient appliances, recycling and using LED lights, as well as by using mass transit or carpooling, she said.

Planting trees and buying from local stores would also help reduce the amount of energy expended.

“In addition, emissions are of fset by the carbon seques-

Riding bicycles or walking rather than driving or taking buses are actions University staff and students can take, Carlton said. At the very least, taking a bus rather than individually driving to class would help reduce pollution a little.

If the state were to impose a gasoline tax to pay for roads

rather than using property taxes, it would also help reduce air pollution, she said. Though this would increase gas prices, it would correspond with a reduction in property taxes.

“Reducing emissions is a collective effort that will reap cumulative benefits from individual actions,” Kaplan said. “(It also requires) initiatives from large emitters of greenhouse gases.”

CRIME APRIL 20 TRENTON — Armando Garduno-Cardena was charged with counts of sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child after the repeated illicit sexual contact he had with an 8-year-old girl. The 28-year-old man would have to ser ve more than four years because of the No Early Release Act, and he is also likely to be depor ted after ser ving his sentence because of an immigration detainer.

APRIL 20 LINDEN — Four men were arrested after a fight outside Cheeque’s Lounge that left several people injured. The brawl occurred between two groups of men leaving the bar, and an of ficer on patrol witnessed gunshots being exchanged.

To commemorate every touchdown the Rutgers football team scores, Sigma Pi fraternity planted trees on Sunday afternoon at the Shiloh Community Gardens, located at the corner of Liberty and Nelson Streets in New Brunswick. COURTESY OF BRETT DONOVAN

in line with that of Shiloh’s Community Gardens.

“You want to shine a light on (community gardens) and let people know (they are) there. That way they’d be motivated to start their own garden or contribute to this one,” he said. “It will set off a chain reaction.”

Volunteers that were working on the garden were comprised of

both Rutgers students and New Brunswick residents.

Community member Danica Dugger said she got involved in the project when she bicycled past the garden and became interested in contributing to the garden. She then reached out to Elijah’s Promise.

Shiloh Community Gardens is still small and relatively new, but Elijah’s Promise is in the midst of expanding it, said Brianna Hall,

co-manager of Shiloh Community Gardens. They only have 42 beds right now, but they are hoping to add more over the summer.

Since the garden did not have space for all 42 trees this year, Elijah’s Promise contacted Raíces Cultural Center and Unity Square Garden, where the fraternity volunteers will also be planting trees, she said. “(The fraternity) is being ver y generous by giving back to the community,” Hall said.

“I think we at Elijah’s Promise also believe the same thing, and so it was just this conglomeration of people who are passionate about people.”

“Trees for TDs” is not the only philanthropic event that Sigma Pi

hosts, according to its website. In the past they have renovated a dilapidated playground for Jameson Psychology Child Study Center Preschool and hosted an appreciation night for dining hall staff members.

In light of the recent campus probation, service events such as “Trees for TDs” are an important way to show the Rutgers community what being greek is really all about, Donovan said.

“I’m understanding of (the social probation decision),” he said. “They wanted us to step back a bit and reflect on what it really means for us to all be greeks and what we really should be doing to give back to the community.”

APRIL 20 FAIR LAWN — Authorities arrested two men on drug charges and seized $2,000 wor th of heroin. The police received information about a possible drug deal and saw Rayshon Forman and Matthew People near Dunkin Donuts on River Road, executing a drug deal transaction.

The two are charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute.

APRIL 19 NEWARK — Four people, including two teenagers, suf fered injuries from a shooting that may be connected to a recent string of robberies. Two of the victims told the police they were in the 400 block of 15th Ave. when a dark-colored vehicle approached them and star ted firing. All four of the victims are in stable condition.

FARE Increase is last resort, there will be no substantial fare jump similar to 2010 hike, Hakim says CONTINUED FROM FRONT

Based on budgetary documents for the coming year, revenue from fares would increase by 8.8 percent, from the $928.6 million earned in fiscal year 2015 to $1.01 billion in 2016.

“It is not clear whether this increase in fare box revenue reflects a possible fare increase, or whether this represents estimated (ridership) growth before the impacts of a possible fare increase,” said an analysis by the Office of Legislative Services’ review of NJ Transit’s financials.

By the end of the month, increases and service reductions will be announced if the NJ Transit elects to raise fairs, said Veronique Hakim, the executive director of NJ Transit.

According to nj.com, the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA) is among other variants that could push the increase.

PRIIA will impact the amount NJ Transit pays in rent to Amtrak,

so it may run 450 trains each day on the Northeast Corridor.

According to nj.com, while the exact amount is being negotiated and would take effect in October of this year, the executive director told a state Senate budget panel that PRIIA could add as much as $20 million to $80 million in “rent” to what NJ Transit currently pays.

NJ Transit has made a few cost cutting measures, according to nj.com. Examples include not filling vacant positions where possible, “locking in fuel contracts” and “maximizing contracts and ser vice options,” according to nj.com.

Commuters are using Twitter to express opposition and disapproval regarding a fare increase by adopting the hashtag “#NoFareIncrease.”

Hakim said the fare increase is a last resort and promised that if fares are increased, commuters will not be struck with a 22 percent increase as they were in 2010, according to nj.com.

When you fast forward to 2008, Clinton seeking the presidential nomination was the first time in United States history that a woman was taken seriously as a major party candidate, Mandel said. For this reason, the course is focused mainly on Clinton.

“It wasn’t a symbolic race or brief exploratory effort,” she said.

Karen Kominsky, director of the 2008 Hillary Clinton for President Campaign in New Jersey, was a guest speaker during one of the classes, Mandel said.

Kominsky told students the ins and outs of what goes into building a campaign.

Students enrolled in the course also took a field trip on March 9 to New York City, where they went backstage at a programming event for Clinton’s “No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project” to take photos with Clinton in person.

After pulling out of the nomination in 2008, Clinton famously said that the 8 million voters that year had made 8 million cracks in the glass ceiling. Clinton and her daughter Chelsea Clinton soon launched the Clinton Foundation’s “No Ceilings” Project, which collects data from around the world about the status and advances of women globally, Mandel said. “(The project) released some early data from their year-old project and brought women from different countries to New York Best Buy Theater to share the results of their work,” Mandel said.

“I did have a contact with someone who works for the (project) who brought us backstage before the program started.”

Skyler Bolkin, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year, said her experiences with the course have taught her the importance of having women representatives.

“Women only hold 19 percent of the seats in Congress. Last time I checked, women made up more than 19 percent of our general population,” Bolkin said.

Damilola Onifade, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, said that through the course,

said. “I often feel like that question itself, ‘why should we have women in politics?’ is the reason why we should. No one questions why should we have men in politics, we just assume that a man is capable of leadership.”

Bolkin said she learned some surprising facts about Clinton’s life from reading “Living History,” such as the fact that Clinton

Sixty-six randomly selected Rutgers students filled out questionnaires, and only half knew Clinton was the first lady of Arkansas, 10 percent believed she was the governor of New York and one-third thought she was the speaker of the House of Representatives, according to Rutgers Today.

To further educate students, Mandel said she is hoping to offer courses in the coming semesters that will examine the national elections, without focusing on gender. The course would look at the primaries, voting behavior, the registration process and public opinion.

“I think these courses are helpful for people in this country who want to learn about our political system and government in an up-close manner,” she said.

“I think it would be great for every student to learn how to get involved simply as a voter.”

in politics, according to their website. They have many educational outreach programs that involve research and action,

while also addressing the issue of underrepresentation of women in politics.

“Gender Watch is to further public understanding of how gender influences candidate

strategy, voter engagement and expectations, media coverage and electoral outcomes in the race for the nation’s highest executive office,” according to their website. “Our goal is to lend expert analysis to the dialogue around gender throughout the election season.”

Gender Watch is a project jointly founded by Rutgers CAWP and the Barbara Lee Foundation, a foundation aiming to advance gender equality and representation in

U.S. politics and in contemporary art, said Kelly Dittmar, an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science and manager of the Twitter page.

Gender Watch was created in order to have a social media platform devoted specifically to gender-related topics during the 2016 election, including gender stereotypes, female voters and candidates, Dittmar said.

“We knew going into this presidential election ... that gender would be an area of interest and of commentary, not only because there is a likely female candidate, but also because it is a common issue in recent elections,” she said.

The project organizers anticipated gender-related conversations and wanted to make sure they were involved in them, Dittmar said.

“Our goal is to provide expert analysis to discussion of gender in the election and to elevate that dialogue with the research we have done and other experts have done, to be sure that it is informing to the way we look at, analyze and talk about gender,” she said.

The goal of using social media is to share new ideas and analyses in order to create awareness and spread information that is particular to gender dynamics in the presidential election, Dittmar said.

Social media plays a huge role in politics, particularly with the upcoming 2016 election, according to ABC News. It is a way to connect directly to voters, especially younger ones.

On Twitter, Hillary Clinton has received thousands of tweets following her campaign announcement via video.

The Gender Watch Twitter page is useful not only for scholars, but also for reporters who see it as a useful source, Dittmar said.

To make their account stand out, they try to post information and commentary as well.

Although the Twitter page has only been up for a few days, the response has been positive so far, she said. There has been no direct response from students as of now, but the project organizers hope to engage students and allow their voices to be heard.

While many might consider social media to be an effective way to communicate with young people, some students oppose this idea.

Media is an important feature to consider when promoting something such as a political campaign, said Elizabeth Binstein, a School of Social Work sophomore.

“Younger people barely watch TV and get all of their news online ... Which is one reason why Hillary Clinton put out that video campaign,” Binstein said. “But I wouldn’t follow it, and I think it’s unnecessary.”

Elections should be about the candidate, their capabilities and their politics — not their gender, she said.

“The longer society plays into the need to gender and separate, the longer it will take for women to achieve equality,” she said.

Other students feel this is in an effective way for CAWP to get their message across.

CAWP is helping students understand gender in politics in light of the announcement of Clinton’s presidential campaign, said Dana Godrich, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student.

“Their usage of social media is useful and informative, letting students have an accessible feed to stay updated about women’s steps and accomplishments in the political world, since it’s a relatively new sight even in the 21st century,” Godrich said.

More than 1,000 students key in to Rutgers’ annual ‘HackRU’ TYLER GOLD STAFF WRITER

Many may find it fitting that the Spring 2015 edition of “HackRU” culminated on the 50th anniversary of Moore’s Law. The 24-hour hackathon took place April 18 to April 19 at the Louis Brown Athletic Center on Livingston campus, gathering a crowd of more than 1,000 people, according to event organizers.

Moore’s Law is the observation that the number of transistors on computer processors doubles every two years, according to Intel. Sunday was the 50th anniversary of the article published by Gordon Moore that first quantified the rapid expansion of computing potential.

“HackRU”’s benefits do not mimic Moore’s Law, but the hackathon has experienced an increase in attendance over the last few years. After “HackRU” Spring 2014, Eddie Zaneski graphed the growth of “HackRU” on his blog, demonstrating how quickly the hackathon’s scale grew.

“At the first ‘HackRU’, there were more pizza boxes than participants,” said Jade Yee, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences senior and a lead organizer of the event.

The first Rutgers hackathon happened four years ago during the Spring 2011 semester

in a lecture hall at Hill Center on Busch campus with about 50 attendees, said Michelle Chen, a School of Ar ts and Sciences sophomore.

“HackRU”’s growth has been natural and a little bit spontaneous, Chen said. Four years later, “HackRU” now attracts hundreds of people from Rutgers, other universities and local high schools.

“We’ve never set a goal where we want this or that many people to attend,” Chen said. “We just kind of throw a hackathon, see how many people register for it, and then we work with those numbers. People just keep getting more interested in these kinds of events and showing up.”

Nearly one-fourth of those attendees were students from high schools, Chen and Yee said.

Chen and Yee both raved about the connection they have with “HackRU”, and the people who attend. The “HackRU” team is a family, they said.

There is much more to “HackRU” than programming, Yee said.

There were human-sized hamster ball races, karaoke, cup stacking, trivia games, a Super Smash Bros. tournament and more.

Late-night coffee was provided by local coffee shop Hidden Grounds, food was provided by King Pita and Jimmy Johns, as well as a late-night

ice cream station complete with chocolate syrup and other important toppings.

If that was not enough for hungry hackers, there was a midnight pig roast provided by Noodle Go Go. While “HackRU” is primarily a learning experience, there is also a competitive side to it.

Judges chose the top 10 projects, and the top five demonstrated their hacks in front of attendees. The judges then chose the top three, who won various prizes including Pebble smartwatches and tablets.

First place went to Litecase, an app that converts video to ASCII code using text to create an image of what the camera sees, built by Sandile Keswa, Vuk Petrovic, Dan Cadden and Ryan Yurkanin.

Second place went to CloudFish, a system that lets users remotely feed a fish. Chris Leung, William Browder-Little and Brad Totaro used 3D-printers and a Raspberry Pi to create a system that accomplishes tasks from anywhere in the world.

Third place went to Share.el, an app created by Daniel Bordak that lets users share code directly from a text editor through email or text messages.

While many may consider the growth and number of people at “HackRU” to be exciting, Chen said there are some downsides.

“When you hold events at a

TIANFANG YU / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER huge scale, you lose some of the things that make smaller events so great,” Chen said.

Larger events also tend to be more competitive, because some students want the prestige of saying they won first-place at a hackathon, Chen said.

Competition isn’t the main goal of “HackRU”, Yee and Chen said.

Prizes weren’t posted until right before the hackathon.

“We didn’t want people to go into this thinking, I want to win that thing,” Chen said. “We want

people to work on an idea and then see where it goes from there.”

“HackRU” is what you make of it, Yee and Chen said. What makes “HackRU” such a great event is its flexibility, and that’s why the number of attendees has continued to grow over the past few years.

“We don’t try to go into “HackRU” with any one theme in mind,” Yee said. “Actually, that’s not entirely true — our main goal is to be kickass.”

Dr. Oz, celebrity doctors not always right FIT-WIT

COURTNEY HAN

R

ecently, a group of doctors from across the country accused Dr. Mehmet Oz of The Doctor Oz Show of promoting products that do not have health benefits for the purpose of financial gain. For this reason, the doctors called for the removal of Dr. Oz from his senior administrative position at Columbia University. The letter was spearheaded by Dr. Henry Miller, of Stanford University’s Hoover Institute.

Dr. Oz made a statement claiming that the doctors twisted his words and had misguided information. Whether the argument against Dr. Oz is true, we should be generally skeptical of the health information we hear from the media and discover online. Dr. Oz is a certified physician, but that does not mean that he is not susceptible to bribes or that the information he provides on the show has been researched or approved by him. Companies that supposedly make healthy products could offer the show an incentive to feature their product, and people like Dr. Oz might emphasize its health benefits even though they may not exist. Specifically, if a product that is featured by Dr. Oz has advertisements on the show or on that channel, then it would be unlikely that the show found the product and simply promoted it because it was such a great product.

In addition, the products promoted on the show could be the idea of someone

they will. Dr. Oz also has received accusations from the federal government claiming that he featured deceptive weight loss products on his show.

Although medical television shows like Dr. Oz can have a positive effect in terms of promoting healthier eating and exercise habits to the national population, some messages they disseminate can be potentially dangerous. People should consult their personal doctors about the health products that they are interested in before using it. They should also accumulate information from various sources in order to identify the best health products for their level of nutrition and wellness.

Other issues with the media and health arise from the existence of websites like WebMD and Medical News Today.

Thanks to the Internet, endless information at our fingertips “The doctors on health talk shows have health can cause us to overreact when we a responsibility to provide the most have an ache or pain.

Doctors that have television shows are called celebrity doctors for a reason. With all their responsibilities as a television personality, I find it unlikely that they actually test out and know the performance of all the products they feature. Also, the public does not know the extent of which the doctors have knowledge of the practices they feature on the show or products they advocate for.

In addition, Dr. Oz is sharing his information to a nationwide audience, not just one person. His diagnosis and suggestions are not catered to one person’s specific health or body type. This would also greatly decrease the effectiveness of his information and the products he promotes.

Assault survivors deserve tact, integrity COMMENTARY MARY PAT REITER

L

ast week, I witnessed our greek community’s march against sexual assault and sexual violence. I went because I care. I went because I am a victim of sexual assault at Rutgers. I went because I know people who are also victims. But what I saw was not what I had hoped for.

I arrived on time to ensure that I did not miss anything important. I arrived to smiling.

I arrived to “#WhatGreekIsAbout” or whatever hashtags they were using. I arrived to a sign-in sheet so that greek organizations could receive credit for attending –– and by credit, I mean that their organization would receive a fine if they did not send at least two members.

I arrived to this event hoping for a dialogue about something that matters to me. Instead, I was repeatedly asked why I was there. I was singled out because I was not in greek life. If this event was really for sexual assault awareness, then it should be open to everyone. Everyone should be encouraged to attend.

Then the music began. The smiling continued, the socializing continued. I nervously

“

stood there watching people take photos with their hashtags and upload them to Facebook.

This was an event intended to improve the image of greek life. The media has painted an inaccurate portrayal of greek life, and has stereotyped greek organizations as partaking in rape, racism and drugging students.

The pillars of greek life are leadership, philanthropy, academics/scholarship and brother/sisterhood, some of which I would

“I was repeatedly asked why I was there. I was singled out because I was not in greek life.” have liked to see more of at this event. However, it’s important to keep in mind the overarching message: a few people do not define a population.

Nonetheless, this event reminded me of “#NotAllMen.” This was simply a “#NotAllFrats.” They turned a serious issue into a chance to receive positive attention: a chance to prove that they were different, a chance some of them turned into a joke.

Their march was supposed to be a silent march, representing the silence that many students must adopt after their assault. It wasn’t silent. There was laughing and talk of sports.

I spent the entirety of the march considering what had happened to me and reanalyzing my own views on sexual assault, all the while holding in a seething desire to tell them to shut up.

At the end of the march, one of the students from a participating sorority shared her moving story on her own sexual assault at Rutgers.

She broke her silence. She put into perspective why we were marching. It was a fitting ending, even though the march itself was a less-than-fitting precursor to learning about her trauma.

I wanted to share mine. To quiet the crowd and tell them again that it does happen, but it shouldn’t happen. I wish I could tell the world that I was molested and violated at their University, but with what I had seen that night, I realized that I could not, at least not there. I’ve held onto my silence with people like them in mind. I’ve kept quiet because I am not a joke.

It’s time people know.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR On dealing with Iran: diplomacy or war, pick one, but choose wisely Take the deal with Iran or go to war with Iran: That is the choice. If what is being gained in 10 years to further mend our relationship with Iran and negotiate another treaty, which will extend the nuclear weapon ban again and again.

The breakout time for the Iranians to make a nuclear weapon will go from two months to over a year. If we reject this agreement, Iran is free to become a nuclear weapon countr y, which Israel will not allow, even if we do. When bombs are dropped over Iran, by either the U.S. or Israel, another war will commence.

The U.S. Iraq/Afghanistan war has lasted 12 years (and is still ongoing) at the expense of thousands of American lives, thousands of Arab lives and three to five trillion dollars — who would want another war? The choice seems simple, take the deal and continue to work diplomatically. However, there are strong

“The hardcore Obama haters will sacrifice anything to destroy any initiative that could reflect positively on (Obama).” forces aligned against the common sense choice: the Obama haters, the rich and the super-rich.

The hardcore Obama haters will sacrifice anything to destroy any initiative that could reflect positively on the president.

Therefore, narrow-minded demagogues and bigots believe war with Iran is better than any credit for Obama. More insidious, however, are the rich who always profit from war — the millionaires and billionaires will benefit from a good, long and expensive war, and their personal wealth will explode (again).

Who will suffer if war becomes the outcome of failed diplomacy? You, the non-millionaires and you the non-billionaires. You will see your sons’ and daughters’ blood in the deserts of the Middle East. You will see trillions of your tax dollars go to our war machine and profit the rich while you will see your fathers’ and mothers’ Medicare and social security benefits dwindle, and you will see our roads, bridges and infrastructure continue to crumble while we rebuild roads, bridges and schools in a countr y that we have bombed out in the Middle East — only to have them bombed out again.

This diplomatic decision largely affects you, so sagaciously deliberate this political situation. Should you take the agreement and continue to engage Iran diplomatically or go to war?

TRAGEDY Young has surrendered just five runs in 21 innings during his senior season CONTINUED FROM BACK decided to take up a different cause in memory of his mother, using baseball to facilitate it.

“I started a fundraiser that is going to the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research,” Young said.

“It’s a scoreless inning (fundraiser).

Anytime I throw a scoreless inning and I have supporters with me, we all donate 10 dollars for each inning.

It’s exactly what my mother would have wanted.” *** Izabella Young loved a lot of things: hiking, traveling and also watching her two sons do what they do best. Andrew Young, a graduate of Rutgers, is an actor based out of Red Bank, N.J., and Jon Young played baseball his whole life.

While Izabella loved watching her sons succeed both on the stage and the diamond, she doesn’t love baseball. She didn’t like it at all, by Jon Young’s admission. Perhaps it was because she was born in Warsaw, Poland that she didn’t have the affinity for baseball that her sons have. But either way, Young appreciated her for going to every game.

“She wasn’t the biggest baseball fan, but she was always here at my games to support me. I’m playing for her,” Young said. “It’s incredible looking back that she would attend all my games. That’s like telling me to go to a dance festival, something I have no idea about. She was just there for me — to support me. It was really incredible and special of her to always be out there.” *** Not many people have to deal with losing a parent before they finish college. Jon Young has the unfortunate circumstance of losing his father in high school to a heart condition.

The relationship between Jon and older brother Andrew Young goes beyond that of most siblings in their 20s. They are all they have left.

When Jon Young entered the game Sunday, Andrew Young leaned up against the fence and he was nervous. Just as tall, or taller, than his 6-foot-3 brother, Andrew Young sticks out of the row of the Knights’ supporters.

However, he’s there for one reason.

“Jon and I are really close. We always support each other as much as we can,” Andrew Young said. “I go to as many games as I can. I do acting as a hobby, and Jon comes to all my shows. We always lean on each other in all walks of life. I love baseball, but I get very anxious when Jon enters the game since he only enters in the highest intensity of the game.” *** Izabella Young’s diagnosis came out of nowhere in the winter of 2014. Prior to prognosis, Izabella was hiking, saw one of Andrew’s shows and watched Jon pitch in the fall ball season.

After she was diagnosed with lymphoma, Jon Young made the decision to quit playing baseball to help out his mother.

What he was going through was something that Rutgers head baseball coach Joe Litterio thought no one should deal with at his age.

Understandably, he let him be with his family.

“What that kid has been through is something that you don’t want anyone to go through, especially

at a young age like he is,” Litterio said. “He’s been able to deal with it.

I was kind of worried how it would affect him, but when it gets late in the game, I’m going to him.”

Jon Young used the winter break to be with his mother and family. He thought about making the toughest decision a baseball player could make: he decided to quit.

Andrew Young saw his brother have a change of heart. Even though his family lost one member, Jon Young knew he still had Rutgers’ support “When my mom first got sick, and about a week before she passed away, my brother came to me and said he was going to quit baseball,” Andrew Young said. “He wanted to stay focused on school and take care of her so she could get to every doctor’s appointment. After she passed, the coaches had no idea if he would come back. But Jon knew he wanted to be with his teammates, and it became an outlet for him to get his mind off things.” *** Earned run average is the statistic used to keep track of the amount of runs a pitcher allows over his innings pitched. Jon Young leads all of the Knights’ pitchers in that category with a 2.18 average.

Jon Young is enjoying the best season of his career. He has a 1-0 record and allowed only five earned runs in almost 21 innings pitched.

His best season could be attributed to the promise he made to his mother to donate money for each scoreless inning pitched or it could be because it’s his senior year, and he wants to end it on a high note.

Rutgers seeks return to basics of baseball TYLER KARALEWICH

Seven of final 10 games of season will see Knights face Big Ten opposition

CORRESPONDENT

CONTINUED FROM BACK

The Rutgers baseball team did not accomplish many of the things that it wanted to heading into its Big Ten series against Michigan State this past weekend.

After being swept by the Spartans 10-4, 15-7 and 6-2, the Scarlet Knights could not find much to chew on in terms of a silver lining.

Rutgers was outhit, outscored and committed more errors than the Spartans did in each game.

The Knights (12-26-1, 5-10) play Wagner (16-14-1) on Tuesday and St. Peters (6-24-1) on Wednesday, before following up with a home-and-away series against Seton Hall (18-15) over the weekend.

With a down series against Michigan State, head coach Joe Litterio made it clear following the game on Sunday what his plan and expectations were for the coming midweek games and out-of-conference slate.

“I want to win baseball games (over the break from conference play),” Litterio said following the game Sunday against Michigan State. “That’s what we spoke about after the game. We have to start winning the midweeks and getting some momentum going into the weekend.”

The time off will benefit many of the Rutgers players going into the last few conference series to end the season. Big Ten baseball is a lot different than smaller conferences that the Knights will play in the upcoming midweeks and against Seton Hall.

This conference bye gives Rutgers a chance to see more competition.

“We are fortunate enough to have this weekend as a bye weekend which is good for us,” Litterio said. “I think we can get away from the conference play and that helps us. We can see more competition and pitchers in the games we are playing between.”

For the starting pitching, the time off will give them enough time to work on each individual pitch in bullpens leading up to the next conference series — Penn State on May 1.

During her recent year, Bates ascended to first place for the program’s single season home runs record.

After her three homers in the final two games of the series against Ohio State on Saturday, Bates stood alone at the top with 16 above Brittney Lindley, who previously held the record after a pair of years with 13 home runs in 2010 and 2011.

Nelson credits her work ethic in practice and her rediscovered patience at the plate.

“She has gotten back into being patient at the plate and making them pitch to her the pitches that she wants to hit and can drive,” Nelson said. “That’s been the key to her homers.”

The Terrapins enter the series on a high note after completing the sweep of Penn State at home this past weekend.

Rutgers pitchers will have a tall task to quiet Maryland’s batting order, specifically its 2-3-4 hitters.

With Hannah Dewey (.391), Erin Pronobis (.390) and Lindsey Schmeiser (.385) each batting over .385 on the season, the Terps present a potent heart of the order.

But Rutgers presents an equal challenge with its top batters.

The top of the order for the Terrapins relates similarly to the Knights’ 2-3-4 combo of senior left fielder Chandler Howard (.320), Bates (.379) and junior third baseman Jordan Whitley (.378).

Schmeiser’s older sister, Katilyn, is the ace of the Maryland pitching staff with a record of 18-7 and an earned run average of 3.35 in 173 and two-thirds innings.

With the stakes being so high, it means Nelson will stick to his usual starters will be out unlike past midweek series where you see them get some rest and role players play more.

As it turns out, having the game on Sunday against Ohio State cancelled and moved to Saturday can be a blessing in disguise for a team that desperately needs the extra days rest after playing nine games in the last eight days.

For players like Bates, who has started in all 38 games this season, could benefit from the time off.

“I think that we will appreciate (the rest) especially for our pitchers that could use an extra day of rest,” Bates said. “Resting our arms, and whatever bumps and bruises that we have, is crucial at this stage in the season.”

Head coach Joe Litterio implores his team to take advantage of its conference bye this week. The Knights take on three non-conference programs. LUO ZHENGCHEN / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / APRIL 2015 Sophomore right-hander Gaby Rosa said he knows what he needs to fix so he doesn’t slip up and cost the Knights another game. Specifically, Rosa said he needs to work on getting ahead early in the count to set up his strikeout pitch.

“I have to try and be better throwing with two strikes,” Rosa said. “Every time I get two strikes, I have to throw a better pitch.

Maybe throw a curveball in the dirt and not leave it hanging up top. When I leave my pitches up they either put it over the fence or get a double. I need to work on that before we get back into conference play (in two weeks).”

For senior left fielder Vinny Zarrillo, preparation for the remaining games of the season is more simplified. Getting back to the fundamentals of base-

ball is the more pressing issue for Rutgers.

“I think we need to get back to basic baseball,” Zarrillo said. “We need to focus on hitting, pitching and playing good defense. The midweek and out-of-conference games coming up are huge. We need to get momentum heading into the last few weeks of conference play. Maybe a bye week will help us so that we can work on the things we need to fix so that we can get better. Over the next two weeks, we are going to prepare so that in two weeks we are ready to go.”

Although Litterio knows the Knights have room to improve, he admitted the physical nature of the conference and the tools in the recruiting process of the Big Ten is something that Rutgers needs to adjust to.

With less than half of the Big Ten schedule already finished, the Knights need to adjust to the nature of the Big Ten. “These guys are big boys — that’s what we run into in the Big Ten,” Litterio said. “Ever y team comes in with guys who are 6-foot-3 or 6-foot-5 and are big countr y boys. You make a mistake against these Big Ten guys, and they punish it. That’s something we have to learn, especially as a coaching staff.

That’s what this league is about — being big and physical. We don’t get cheated. It might be good for us to get back to what we do well and take that with us into Penn State in two weeks.”

April 21, 2015 FOOTBALL JOHN TSMIS RECORDED CAREER-HIGH THREE TOUCHDOWNS IN 2014

Juniors pursue increased roles with spring practice GARRETT STEPIEN SPORTS EDITOR

As Hayden Rettig dropped back to pass, John Tsimis bursted his way off the line of scrimmage and bolted downfield.

Busting it on a double-move to the outside, Tsimis began to streak down the sideline with two defenders following closely on his trail. Rettig’s ball floated into the narrow opening, cutting through the flailing arms of the defensive backs and into the outstretched hands of his wide receiver.

Tsimis held on for the acrobatic catch, and Carlton Agudosi’s reaction told it all.

“I was hyped, man, because, John John, he’s always making plays,” Agudosi said. “… When I see him making a play, I just want to congratulate him.”

Those feelings are reciprocated throughout the receiving corps.

“We’re all just all excited when we’re all doing good,” Tsimis said. “We all like when the other person’s doing good, so we’re all into it.”

With the variations in skillsets between the two wide receivers, the Rutgers football team establishes depth at a position that should be depended on during the 2015 campaign.

As the quarterback competition remains a mystery between Rettig and sophomore Chris Laviano, playmakers like senior wideout Leonte Carroo are expected to provide a safety net and ease the uncertainty with an offense undergoing its sixth change at offensive coordinator in as many years.

But when the likes of Carroo are out, others will need to step up.

That’s where Tsimis and Agudosi come into play.

While the pair are polar opposites in how they maneuver on the field, each presents an added weapon to load up the Knights’ aerial assault.

For head coach Kyle Flood, Tsimis’ upside begins with the most valuable element there is when evaluating any football player.

“I’ve got an expression that I share with the players: there’s nothing more valuable in life than consistency, and John is the poster child for consistency,” Flood said. “… He does it so well, he

can play full speed, he’s got tremendous hands, tremendous ball skills — those are the things we saw in him in high school when we took him. … John is a mature presence on our football team that makes plays.”

Tsimis likes to keep that approach as simple as possible.

“Yeah, (being consistent is) a good thing to be,” he said. “I just make sure I know what I’m doing, know my assignment and then just be someone the quarterbacks can always look to and get a completion.”

In the second scrimmage of the spring last Saturday at High Point Solutions Stadium, the Bergen Catholic (N.J.) product supported his coach’s claim.

Regardless of who was getting the ball to him, Tsimis snagged every pass thrown his way.

Whether he was lined up on the outside or in the slot, Tsimis got open and hauled in each pass, whether it was plucking balls from his shoestrings or making catches in traffic.

When the afternoon came to a close, the six foot, 185-pounder boasted an unofficial stat line of seven receptions for 87 yards and a score.

Aside from his back-shoulder grab down the left sideline late in the scrimmage, perhaps the flashiest highlight came on his 22-yard reception from Laviano over the middle.

Sacrificing his body on a seam-route up the middle out of the slot, Tsimis took a crushing hit to his ribs when junior Davon Jacobs lowered the boom from his safety spot. But Tsimis secured the catch at a crucial point during the two-minute drill portion of the scrimmage.

“It’s always kind of just been me,” Tsimis said. “I’ve always had hands growing up and everything and I just got a chance to show it more in high school and college because growing up, I was more of a running back, but then I played receiver throughout high school and now.”

Spectacular plays like that are what get Agudosi going.

“John John, he always does that,” Agudosi said, referring to Tsimis. “John John, me and him just talk on the sideline. The offense

Junior wide receiver Carlton Agudosi attributes his offseason growth to a supporting cast that has kept him calm and patient.

MICHELLE KLEJMONT / MANAGING EDITOR / APRIL 2015

While his main duties project to be out of the slot, junior wide receiver John Tsimis said he feels comfortable lining up outside if needed. EDWIN GANO / ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR / APRIL 2015 was slow, so we just kept saying, ‘We gotta pick it up, we gotta keep going.’ He had a great day out here, he’s doing good and he just makes me want to keep doing better.”

Both Knights entered the spring coming from opposite directions.

While Tsimis looks to build off of a breakout year in which he hauled in 19 receptions for 188 yards and three touchdowns, Agudosi continues to wait for his time.

The 6-foot-6, 220-pounder from down the block in Franklin boasts a frame fitting for a red zone threat, but has yet to record more than five catches in each of his first two seasons at Rutgers.

But now in his fourth year on the banks, Agudosi has had a strong spring, highlighted by his 79 yards on five catches in his most recent efforts during Saturday’s scrimmage.

“Carlton’s coming. Carlton’s coming on and that’s exciting for us because somebody asked me earlier in the spring about him and a body type like that becomes really valuable,” Flood said. “As long as he’s doing all the other things consistently and he’s done it for a significant amount of time, so he’s investing himself in the staff and he’s earning himself some playing time.”

Words of encouragement have helped him stay on his path to this point, but Agudosi said that when that opportunity does come, he’ll be just as ready as Tsimis was. “(Staying patient through the first two years) was very important,” Agudosi said. “I can’t just say it was all me, it’s the whole Rutgers staff that helped me … it’s not just me, it’s a community keeping my head on straight and not getting discouraged, so I’m ready when my chance will come.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY “With everything Jon has gone through, pitching in the ninth inning of a close game is the easy stuff. ...

BASEBALL JON YOUNG DEDICATES SENIOR SEASON TO MOTHER, WHO PASSED AWAY FROM CANCER IN JANUARY

Closer overcomes tragedy in final season TYLER KARALEWICH CORRESPONDENT

Jon Young was ready to quit the Rutgers baseball team over winter break and before the start of his senior season. If it hadn’t been for a change of heart, the Scarlet Knight’s closer would not be enjoying what has blossomed into the best season of his career.

But for a handful of reasons, the pros of finishing out his career outweighed the hardship that befell Young in January — and besides, it was what his mother would have wanted.

Izabella Young, 55, lost her battle with cancer Jan. 12, 2015, after being diagnosed with lymphoma just a few months prior.

It was only a few weeks after her death that Young dedicated his season to the memory of his mother and then decided to take it one step further.

“I dedicated the season to my mother who passed away from cancer,” Young said.

“I have nothing else I can do but play for her this season.” *** Young entered during the seventh inning this past Sunday, tasked with keeping the game close against Michigan State. The Spartans led 5-2, but with a good outing from Young, maybe Rutgers had a chance to come back.

In his first inning out of the bullpen, he allowed two hits, but didn’t let a runner score.

The score still sat at 5-2. In his second inning of work, Young allowed another two hits, but this time a run scored on a sacrifice fly.

Young was visibly upset he allowed the earned run — it was only the fifth of his season. He slammed his glove into his knee after he walked back into the dugout. Young would pitch one more inning that game, throwing all zeros in his 12th scoreless inning of the season.

Throwing scoreless innings is not just about helping the Knights anymore — that’s only part of the motivation for Young. He Senior right-hander Jon Young started a fundraiser in honor of his mother. For every scoreless inning he throws, Young and a group of supporters donate $10 to the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. TIANFANG YU / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER / MARCH 2015

Knights eye return to success in Big Ten RYAN MORAN

“I think that Tuesday’s doubleheader is pivotal in our season,” said junior right-hander Dresden Maddox. “I think that getting these two wins is going to be very important for the moment, and we need to finish out the Big Ten Conference play so that when it comes to crunch time we’re good to go.”

In order to attain a berth to the NCAA Regionals, it’s important for any team to get hot leading up to its conference tournament.

As the Big Ten Tournament approaches, this holds true with Rutgers.

STAFF WRITER

After dropping its second consecutive series in the Big Ten, the Rutgers softball team looks to regain momentum in conference play when it takes on the Maryland in a doubleheader on Tuesday.

After entering the Michigan series in a tie for second place, the Scarlet Knights (24-14, 8-6) have dropped to sixth with two consecutive disappointing Big Ten series performances.

Including the two games against the Terrapins (26-19, 8-7), the Knights only have 10 games left to get back on track and right the ship.

Of those 10 games, seven are against the likes of Big Ten opponents in Penn State, Wisconsin and Maryland.

But head coach Jay Nelson doesn’t want to look too far ahead.

“We’re pushing to win every game,” he said. “We can’t get in to the regional tournament by just splitting game after game. We
