Mr. C’s shuts down, RU Hungry grease truck takes over WINNIE ZHANG STAFF WRITER
The famous Mr. C’s Truck caught attention over the summer, when people spotted it for sale on Craigslist by its owner. But don’t worry — you can still get a late night Fat Darrell right by Alexander Library. A New Brunswick Today article came out on August 1 detailing the sale of the Mr. C’s grease truck, beloved by generations of Rutgers students for nearly three decades. An oil spill at Mr. C’s truck in 2013 was the last straw that led to the sale on Craigslist, according to New Brunswick Today. Rutgers has since broken ties with the truck, and the truck vacated its spot on Senior Street. “Oil (spilled) on the street and they told me you cannot operate anymore on Rutgers property ... They terminated our license, they screwed us big time,” said Mohamed Garaibeh, owner of “Mr. C’s: Home of the Fat Sandwiches.” Garaibeh is asking $40,000 for the truck. Rutgers students’ stomachs didn’t cease to run on fat sandwiches even after Mr. C’s left Rutgers SEE TRUCK ON PAGE 4
The newly-opened Rutgers honors college residence hall, located at 520 George St. on the College Avenue campus, is exclusively open to first-year students. It cost $84.8 million to build and enrolled 530 students, all of whom performed exceptionally in high school and applied to Rutgers with an average SAT score of 2160 out of 2400. LISETT CLARK
Rutgers deans respond to honors college questions ADAM NARDELLI CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The Honors College here at Rutgers is the newest addition to the family of schools the University has to offer. Academic Dean Matt Matsuda and Administrative Dean Paul Gilmore offered some insight on the new school through a Q&A
via email. Both Deans contributed together to each answer. The Daily Targum: How long was the college in the works? About when did the planning start? Matsuda and Gilmore: While the idea of an Honors College at Rutgers—New Brunswick began some years ago, formal planning was initiated in 2012 as part of a higher edu-
cation bond issue from the State of New Jersey. The ground breaking took place fall 2013. DT: Were there any severe obstacles that Rutgers came across when building the Honors College and getting it up and running? Is there an estimate of how much it cost?
M&G: The cost was $84.8 million. The Honors College is a key component of the Rutgers Strategic Plan and a major project in the $330 million private-public College Avenue Redevelopment Initiative partnership. There were no major obstacles. SEE QUESTIONS ON PAGE 5
Two students reawaken chapter of Her Campus AVALON ZOPPO ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Faith DiTrolio, left, and Alex Arbitel, right, are School of Arts and Sciences sophomores who relaunched the Rutgers chapter of Her Campus, a woman-centric digital publication.

“What about His Campus?” This was one of the responses that Alex Arbeitel and Faith DiTrolio heard when they publicized the relaunch of the online women’s magazine Her Campus at Rutgers over the summer. Arbeitel’s response: “Ever y campus is His Campus. Why can’t women have their own platform?” But the two School of Arts and Sciences sophomores were expecting comments like this. Women’s magazines, such as Cosmo and Glamour, are repeatedly labeled as “silly, sex-obsessed and demeaning.” DiTrolio and Arbeitel aim to swap these three words with “empowering, inspirational and informative.” The friends took on the role of revamping the Rutgers chapter of Her Campus after it fizzled out in spring 2014. Her Campus Rutgers, which will be an online magazine for college women launching on Sept. 22, will publish content in six categories: Celebrities, Features, Snapshot, Events, Cuties and Blog.
“(Her Campus) tackles a lot of the same big issues people ignore in other women’s magazines because they can’t get over the fact that there’s a big advertisement for a perfume on the page,” Arbeitel said. “(We don’t want) people to think we are stereotyping women by saying women are only interested in fashion and beauty.” DiTrolio and Arbeitel want female students to know that serious news and lighthearted lifestyle articles can go hand-in-hand, and combining the two works toward informing college women about issues that directly affect them, such as contraception or rape culture. The online magazine features fun quizzes, lists and entertainment reports alongside more serious news articles. It succeeds in satisfying the variety of interests of young women, Arbeitel said. Her Campus proved it isn’t just articles about kittens and zodiac signs earlier this year when it gathered data from thousands of college women to conduct a “Feminism on Campus Sur vey”

Rutgers creates sports program for disabled students SOPHIE NIETO-MUNOZ CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Rutgers is never the type of school to back down from a challenge, regardless of what it entails. This past July, Rutgers University agreed to develop a sports program for students with physical disabilities for this fall semester. This program came after Eric Katz, a Middlesex County resident and a wheelchair basketball player, was not able to play sports at the University. Instead, in order to play, he had to enroll at the University of Arizona. Senators Linda Greenstein (D-Middlesex) and Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) are supporting the program. The University did not previously offer a program for students with disabilities because students had never asked for one, which Greenstein said was not an effective way to build a program. “It’s important to be proactive and offer these activities as so many others schools do around the country, so that students with disabilities are not made to feel like second class citizens and can enjoy the full college experience like every student,” Greenstein told nj.com. The University will launch an Adaptive Sports and Recreation Feasibility Study this fall, which will analyze the cost, offerings and student capacity of the program. An advisory panel of the study will visit the five campuses and recommend which programs to offer and how the program should

be phased in, according to a letter that senior vice president of External Affairs Peter J. McDonough sent to the senators. The study consists of three or four experts in adaptive sports and recreation programming. “The study team will also be asked to comment on where increased adaptive sports and recreation programming should rank with regard to other needed disability services and supports,” McDonough said in the letter to the senators. The commitment Rutgers gives to create the program is an impor tant step toward the kind of inclusive institution Rutgers strives to be, Lesniak told nj.com. “(The program is) an important step toward becoming the kind of inclusive institution we know Rutgers strives to be, especially in light of the fact that other students have more than 50 club and other recreational activities from which to choose, from belly dancing to basketball and judo,” Lesniak said. Many other schools and university systems in the Big Ten Conference, such as University of Texas, University of Illinois, and University of Alabama, offer adaptive sport and recreational programs, and Rutgers should be among them, Lesniak said. “Nearly all the schools (in the Big Ten Conference) offer adaptive sports and recreation programs, some of them very robust,” Lesniak told nj.com. “Rut-

Greenstein said the timing was right for an adaptive sports program at the University. “If there were ever a time to do this, this turns out to be a pretty good
one because it is the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disability Act,” Greenstein told nj.com. “I think that would be just a wonderful thing to happen here in New Jersey.”

RU Hungry, formerly located on Douglass campus, has taken over the space Mr. C’s used to occupy, at 159 College Ave. Mr. C’s, a grease truck that sat on school grounds for nearly three decades, vacated the premises and Mohamed Garaibeh, the owner of Mr. C’s, sold the Mr. C’s truck for $40,000 on Craigslist over the summer.

for websites to contribute their writing to and stumbling upon the Her Campus website. Most college campuses have a Her Campus chapter, and DiTrolio was surprised a large state university such as Rutgers did not.

Together with Mr. C’s Truck and other grease trucks, RU Hungry settled down in Parking Lot 8 as their permanent home, before making way for the College Avenue Redevelopment Program construction site, Elfeiki said. RU Hungry was operating on Douglass campus before moving back to College Ave., a more desired spot for business.
“This (current) location is better than Douglass campus, because it is open to people outside of Rutgers,” Elfeiki said. Still, the heydays of Rutgers grease trucks are gone. “The sales are nothing like back in the days on 40 College Ave. (Parking Lot 8),” Elfeiki said. Nancy Wang, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said that even though not everyone is a fan of the fat sandwiches, the
grease trucks play a part in University culture. By next year, RU Hungry expects to open up their first “brick and mortar store” back on the newly constructed building on 40 College Ave., Elfeiki said.

QUESTIONS Average SAT score of incoming honors dorm class is 2160 out of 2400, deans say CONTINUED FROM FRONT
DT: What’s an average SAT score needed to get into the school versus the average score needed for other schools? Is there an aspect of a students’ resume that is especially looked at, such as SAT scores or extracurricular activities or grades, when the school is determining whether a student is accepted to the honors college that may be different than how students are evaluated for the non-honors colleges? M&G: To be considered for the Honors College, students must be accepted into one of the participating schools within Rutgers-New Brunswick (SAS, SoE, SEBS, RBS, MGSA, EMSP). Those who are invited into the Honors College are then members of both the school as well as the Honors College. The Honors College invites first-year students who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, leadership and a commitment to community service. The average SAT score of our incoming class is 2160.
The Honors College is built on the legacy of honors education at Rutgers—New Brunswick and brings together students from across the liberal arts and professional schools to live and work together to tackle global issues. DT: Are only incoming freshman entered into the Honors College? The (Honors College) website states that the college is a four-year experience, but I just wanted to clarify. M&G: Only first-year students are invited into the Honors College, but the curriculum and related programs continue throughout their four years. DT: Is there a place inside the building that the Honors College is housed in that students are drawn to? Is there an intriguing aspect of the building that clearly catches students’ eyes? M&G: The building consists of three wings with a central courtyard for outdoor gatherings. Within the building there are several lounge spaces for collaborating and
socializing. The south wing, in particular, has a spacious lounge with a fireplace. There is also an outdoor patio overlooking the Raritan River. DT: What is your role with the new Honors College? Did you have a significant role in planning the curriculum?
“The Honors College is built on the legacy of honors education at Rutgers–New Brunswick.” DEAN MATT MATSUDA AND ADMINISTRATIVE DEAN PAUL GILMORE
M&G: The curriculum for the Honors College was created by a Faculty Planning Committee in cooperation with the deans of the six participating schools: SAS, SEBS, RBS, MGSA, SoE, EMSP. DT: What do you believe will be the biggest challenge for students in the Honors College? Is there something that stands out that students are required to accomplish either academically or professionally (internships, jobs outside of school) that
students outside of the Honors College aren’t required to do? M&G: The emphasis of the Honors College is on providing more opportunities for academic and professional development, not on meeting additional requirements. Honors College students must meet the requirements of both the Honors College and of the school through which they were accepted. DT: About how many students have been accepted and enrolled in the new Honors College? Will more students be accepted in the spring or is it limited to students entering in the fall semester to participate throughout the year? M&G: There are 530 students in the incoming class at the Honors College. Invitations to the Honors College are extended once per year for the fall semester. DT: What is the best resource, in your opinion, that the school offers its students? Is there one resource or opportunity that stands out? M&G: The Honors College provides a living-learning community with on-site academic advising and staff as well as live-in faculty. These resources are intended to provide students with the opportunities to explore their intellectual curiosity, collaborate and provide service to the community.

Rutgers breaks fundraising record last academic year DAN COREY ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
Slightly more than three months before Rutgers kicks off its 250th anniversar y celebrations, the University is enjoying an early birthday present by celebrating a record-breaking achievement. Driven by an increase in donations concluding the University’s most successful fundraising campaign ever, Rutgers raised a record total of $187.9 million during the 2014-2015 academic year. Last academic year’s record-setting figure reflects a 26.6 percent increase from the $148.4 million total that was raised during the previous year, according to the Rutgers University Foundation. “Thanks to the growing generosity of our donors, Rutgers University has greater resources to support our outstanding students, groundbreaking faculty research and new classrooms, labs and other worldclass facilities,” said University President Robert L. Barchi in a press release. Members of the Rutgers University Foundation, along with other University members, are hoping to change the culture of philanthropy at Rutgers, said Nevin Kessler, president of the Rutgers University Foundation and executive vice president for development and alumni relations. “Philanthropy is important — it’s why we spend so much time talking about it,” Kessler
said. “This university would not be as good as it is today and it will not be as great as it will be ... without the private support of its graduates and friends.” The record-breaking achievement that occurred over the summer ser ves as validation to Rutgers students, faculty and alumni that the University is capable of obtaining large amounts of private donations, Kessler said. There has been a historical sense that Rutgers has difficulty raising significant private gifts because the University of-
our new peers in the Big Ten Conference, which is the new measuring stick against which we are compared.” “People should get on board,” he said. “(That) will help us save even more in the future.” The record-setting total of last academic year’s fundraising campaign is a culmination of multiple factors, one being the conclusion of the “Our Rutgers, Our Future” campaign that helped raise $37 billion during the first two quarters of this fiscal year, Kessler said. Setting expectations for the
“It’s a lot easier for fundraisers to raise money if they can share with donors our future for Rutgers’ future,” he said. “Most philanthropists are investment-oriented, and they want to make investments in organizations that have a clear sense of where they are and where they’re going.” The University’s inauguration into the Big Ten Conference last year also assisted with this fundraising record because it directly catalyzed an increase in donations to Rutgers Athletics, Kessler said.
“When students graduate and begin to have disposable income, even just a little bit … we would hope that they would support their alma mater.” NEVIN KESSLER President of the Rutgers University Foundation and Executive Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations
ten lags behind a number of its peers, Kessler said. “Announcing that Rutgers has raised a record amount of money ... begins to create an impression,” he said. In terms of fundraising, the University’s peers are also its competitors, and those competitors are public universities within the Association of American Universities (AAU), Kessler said. “Those are historical,” he said. “(And) you can talk about
future makes it easier for Rutgers University Foundation members to talk in ways that make sense to donors, he said. Another factor that contributed to the record total was the integration of the University of Medicine and Dentistr y of New Jersey (UMDNJ) into Rutgers, Kessler said. It gives fundraisers the opportunity to talk about healthcare, a topic that many people consider to be an important area to develop.
The largest amount of gifts the Rutgers University Foundation received this year was for the new engineering building on Busch campus, Kessler said. “People say they want to support a scholarship or a fellowship,” he said. “Virtually all of the money that’s donated to Rutgers is restricted by its donors for specific purposes.” Even though the $187.9 million fundraising record came just in time for the University’s
250th anniversar y, Kessler said he does not directly attribute that to donor decisions to make gifts this fiscal year. “We haven’t even officially launched the celebration,” he said. “None of the money that we raise is restricted to support the 250th anniversar y (of Rutgers).” While the University continues to increase private revenue, Rutgers also continues to make strategic investments in “essentially” new initiatives, he said. The Rutgers University Foundation’s announcement also occurred less than one month since the University Board of Governors approved a 2.3 percent tuition hike for the 20152016 academic year. “My understanding of the tuition is that it’s been used to cover the cost of providing the instruction in the classroom and other elements of (the) educational experience,” Kessler said. “My view is that if we hadn’t been so successful, the tuition increases might have been larger.” The Rutgers University Foundation is given directions by the University to fundraise in a manner that keeps Rutgers accessible to as many students as possible by keeping the cost of tuition as low as possible, Kessler said. “One thing that I think University students want is to be proud of their university,” he said. “When students graduate and begin to have disposable income, even just a little bit ... we would hope that they would support their alma mater.”

On staying informed for appearances, being conscious MIDWEEK CRISIS SABAH ABBASI
W
hat is the function of journalism? For journalists, it is (supposed to be) to expose the truth and inform citizens so they can make better decisions. And as Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel put it in The Elements of Journalism, “the principles and purpose of journalism are defined by ... the function news plays in the lives of people.” Both journalists and consumers challenge these basic functions in an increasingly corporatized, sensationalist and spectacle-driven market. This is especially true regarding news coming from war and conflict zones. Technology is pushing photojournalism and multimedia to the forefront, and the effects of the constant flood of graphic information are overwhelmingly apparent. We’re used to hearing numbers of the dead every single day — three, seven, 25 people — it doesn’t make much of a difference if the rates aren’t considered alarming enough. No one thinks twice before sharing a video of a cop brutally beating a black man, or images of hundreds of dead bodies of Syrian migrants floating in the Mediterranean Sea. The value of a human life is impossible to measure through empirical news briefs or even, apparently, through vivid imagery. We have to go further and further to push the boundaries of what will catch attention on a purely superficial level, despite the fact that most of these images and videos are a blatant violation of
people’s privacy and dignity. The humanity of marginalized minorities, refugees and victims of war across the world has become so detached from the individuals themselves that this apparently does not seem to be a problem. Beyond the state of journalism itself is the issue of the way we consume it. Most professors, in addition to required textbooks, will also demand that students stay up to date with current events because it informs our entire education. This is absolutely true, but that should not be the main reason that you read the New York Times. What often ends up happening is that our hyperawareness manifests itself more in our casual conversations, less in our debates and even less in our
candidate’s platforms and criticisms seems to be more about keeping up appearances in a pseudo-intellectual college environment than about being informed for any kind of active political decision making. This isn’t to say that a college environment is inherently pseudo-intellectual, but we’re always dangerously close to making it so. Maybe this is just in my experience as a political science student, but the amount of pretentious banter that goes on in class while we’re waiting for the professor to show up is honestly extraordinary. Media consumption shouldn’t be so self-serving. Keeping up with current events, in and of itself, is really not a goal, and I frankly find it really difficult to believe that anyone actu-
“Just remember that our privilege of being informed about one conflict or another comes at the expense of so many people, and the least we owe to them is to make a conscious effort to take action for their benefit as well.” actions. What is the point of being informed then, if it’s just for our own benefit? Media is meant to be more than just a commodity, it’s meant to be something that informs and motivates change. We’ve all probably read enough think pieces already about the state of journalism in the digital era, where one set of push notifications is enough to get us five different breaking news headlines from every corner of the world — none of which tell an actual story, but it’s enough to be informed. The problem is our definition of being informed. Reading about foreign policy or being updated on every presidential
ally enjoys being up to date with the news when every other headline is about pain and suffering. It’s exhausting to hear about new casualties in Syria every day. It’s nauseating to read article after article about every new technique ISIS is employing. And yet, we have practically embraced this culture of knowing about everything and calling out those who don’t — the outraged “Why is no one talking about this?” is a much more common question than “What are we doing about this?” If the “function news plays in the lives of people” is essentially meaningless when
it comes to civic responsibility and action, then what does that say about the principles of journalism? It’s no wonder that instead of working to expose the truth, mainstream media caters to an audience that is more interested in shock value — and it’s not just about what story is being covered in the news, it’s about how that story is being covered. The point is, don’t become informed for the sake of being informed. Make your consumption of the news worth something more than just a conversation piece. It might be cool in college to know about the world and be able to throw relevant references into conversations as needed, but it’s a lot harder to keep in mind that you’re doing this for more than just yourself. And even though we might be unemployed, broke college students, there are plenty of ways we can still do that (I guess this ended up being another one of those “get involved, freshmen!” advice pieces). Go out and vote. Apparently Rutgers is in the top 20 schools with the least politically active students, so let’s fix that — protest, join a campaign, write letters and op-eds or join a student organization about a cause you care about. Just remember that our privilege of being informed about one conflict or another comes at the expense of so many people, and the least we owe to them is to make a conscious effort to take action for their benefit as well.

Pope releases preservation doctrine, prepares for US visit COMMENTARY HENRY GRABBE
T
he urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development, for we know that things can change…I appeal, then, for a new dialogue about how we are shaping the future of our planet.” Laudato Si’ or “praise be to you” is Pope Francis’s recently released encyclical on climate change. The encyclical, or letter sent from the Pope to the Bishops of the Catholic Church, has been considered highly popular and unique because although Pope Benedict XVI and Saint John Paul II were outspoken on the topic of climate change, no previous encyclical has been so directly devoted to the issues of global climate and poverty. The letter fulfills a charge made by the United Nations: that to successfully combat climate change, a culmination of scientific, political, and moral will be necessary. Science has proven climate change. A growing political tide advocates for the halt of human
“
waste and pollution. Now, using a two-prong approach, the Holy Father has weighed in on the moral implications of climate change and called on the world to take action. That two-prong approach reasons that we should preserve the earth because God has called on us to do so, and to cease destroying the earth because human life loses dignity in that process.
The encyclical goes on to assert the interrelatedness of environmental and social issues: “The human environment and the natural environment deteriorate together, we cannot adequately combat environmental degradation unless we attend to causes related to human and social degradation … the gravest effects of all attacks on the environment are suffered by the poor.” This candidness is fur-
“Such rhetoric marks vast progress if it has the intended affect: making those previously indifferent to the topic of climate change, morally called to enter into care for what Pope Francis describes as ‘Our Common Home.’” Over the summer, I was honored to attend a UN meeting on the release of Laudato Si’ that featured Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana, a principal writer of the encyclical. He described the religious argument postulated by Pope Francis, which forms from a simple premise: The call to preservation is located in the foundation of scripture; Genesis 2:15 – “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to till and keep it.”
ther described through examples of urban life, agriculture, and “throwaway culture.” Such rhetoric marks vast progress if it has the intended affect: making those previously indifferent to the topic of climate change, like myself, morally called to enter into care for what Pope Francis describes as “Our Common Home,” and the people in it. There is no care for the poor with out acceptance of global degradation, no hope for the third world
should first world countries continue to use resources with reckless abandon. Laudato Si’ is important. Climate change and global poverty cannot be influenced without worldwide support, and Pope Francis, an international religious and moral figure stating that “reality is better than ideas,” on this subject is noteworthy. At the end of the month, when the Pope visits America to address the United Nations, Congress, and give a public mass in Philadelphia, millions of Americans who are, perhaps, apathetic toward religion will have the “No one can love God if they do not love what God has created” opportunity to be inspired by the teachings of Pope Francis on love, family, and the environment. It is my hope that the words in Laudato Si’ will be taken to heart by our nation’s leaders and citizens. If you are interested in joining a group of Rutgers students attending the mass in Philadelphia given by Pope Francis on September 27, seek information on the Catholic Student Association at Rutgers Facebook page.

RU players boast confidence for 2015 KEVIN XAVIER ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Since the Greg Schiano era began in 2001, the Rutgers football program has transformed from conference doormat to a consistently competitive opponent for college football foes. First in the former Big East, then the American Athletic Conference and now residing in the Big Ten, the Scarlet Knights have managed to stay humble throughout their successes on the field. Catchphrases have morphed into a way of life on and off campus for the Knights over their stretch of nine consecutive bowl appearances, beginning with Schiano’s credo “Keep Choppin.’” Now, entering the fourth year of the Kyle Flood era, Rutgers has been resigned to going “1-0” in the weight room, on the practice field and ultimately on gameday. Brimming with confidence after a successful first season in the league (8-5, 3-5,) the Knights have broken character heading into year two. Rutgers has become boisterous this offseason, publicly stating grand goals and pinning dubious distinctions upon itself in a conference that seldom produces bulletin board material. It all began at Big Ten Media Days back in late July, when the Knights’ senior wide receiver, Leonte Carroo, strolled to the stage of Big Ten Network Live with a small rose cinched to the lapel of his suit jacket, serving as a symbol of his Rose Bowl aspirations. “(I wanted) just to go out there and send a message to the Big Ten Conference to let them know Rutgers is here to play,” Carroo said of his fashion statement. “We’re not a stepping stone in the Big Ten. Coming into Rutgers as a freshman, me and (senior defensive tackle) Darius (Hamilton) made a lot of promises to people that we would bring our first championship home to Jersey.”
Carroo has earned the right to believe after finishing second in the Big Ten in receiving yards (23rd nationally) in 2014 and second in the country in yards per catch (19.7.) After foregoing the NFL Draft in favor of a return to Rutgers, Carroo made it clear he’d like to let his play speak for his ability. “I just kinda let my game and my leadership on this team do all the talking,” he said. “Whether that’s going out there and making plays — fourth down, fourth quarter, whatever my team needs (from) me — that’s what I care about. I’m worried about a 10-win season.” Carroo has never been the one to bark much, but he said that

hearing it from opponents does bolster his game. “I don’t really do any trashtalking, but I kinda like it,” he said. “Just to hear a guy always chirping in my ear — I’ve always been a player that, the more mad you got me, the better I played.” Flood, even more so than Carroo, prefers to remain understated, while repeatedly spouting the party line. “Our expectations are to be 1-0 each week. If we do a good job doing that, we’ll have an opportunity to play in a great bowl game,” the head coach said. “We only get 12 guaranteed games a year. So, ever y week you lineup, you had better be ready to be 1‑0.” Senior running back Paul James wasn’t shy about praising the Knights’ depth at the
running back position in camp this summer. “I definitely think we have the best backfield (in the Big Ten),” James told The Targum. “The depth we have and the great talent within that depth, I think we have the strongest running back corps in the conference.” James, who is returning after a torn ACL ended his season against Navy last September, declared himself 100-percent healthy. The 6-foot, 220-pounder headlines a Rutgers backfield that includes junior Justin Goodwin, and sophomores Robert Martin and Josh Hicks. Along with returning rushing lead junior Desmond Peoples, the unit combined for 1,649 yards on the ground last season to go with the 363 yards James had accrued before injury. On the defensive side of the ball, junior weak side linebacker Steve Longa, who himself carries a quieter type of confidence, reiterated his belief that he is the fastest player in the country in his position. “I’m still the fastest linebacker in the country,” Longa told the Targum. And when asked to clarify if he was really claiming he was the nation’s fastest linebacker, Longa stood firm. “Yes,” he said. “I can’t tell you if I’m the fastest guy when we run the 40, I’m probably not the fastest guy. But I’ll tell when we’re on the field, right there I’m able to move a lot faster.” The outspoken nature of the Knights’ offseason has taken many by surprise, but don’t expect Kyle Flood to get caught up in all the hoopla. “Now is not the time,” Flood said after day one of camp. “This time of year is time to focus on today. Now, the process has to be on being 1-0.” For updates on the Rutgers football team, follow @KevinPXavier and @TargumSports on Twitter.

Rutgers prepares for first test of fall season EVAN BRUNO STAFF WRITER
Time to get back to work. After being away from the lush greens and fairways of the Rutgers University Golf Course during the summer months, the Rutgers men’s golf team returned to its facilities Monday. With the time away from campus, the Scarlet Knights were able to rejuvenate and recover from the lengthy spring portion of their 2015 season. The team did not waste a second in preparing for its upcoming tournament on Sept. 11 and 12 at the Rutgers Golf Course, playing 18 holes. The golfers were responsible for working out in the weight room and practicing the game on their own over the course of summer. Tuesday was head coach Rob Shutte’s first opportunity to see how his players progressed during that period. “We’re gonna play a lot. We’re having our tournament here (at Rutgers) in 10 days or something, so we’re just going to stay on-site,” Shutte said. “The fairways are in good shape, greens are in good shape, but it’s slower because of the heat and the temperatures. But everything around it is just hard as a rock. It’s a unique situation where you’re laying the ball.” Shutte said his assessment of the team’s talent would take a couple of days. “It’s a lot of stuff going on of just seeing where they are mentally, you know, physically and we can’t do it one day,” he said. “We can’t test ourselves unless we get out and do our sport, just get out, play a bunch of rounds, compete and settle our nerves, get back to get used to this golf course and decision making out here.” To strengthen his golf game and further develop his skills, junior Michael Howe followed the advice of the old adage practice makes perfect. “We just play a lot of golf,” Howe said. “Some of us work at a golf course and we just play a lot of golf. ... We work out but it’s mainly just getting the reps in on the course. It’s just playing a lot.” Meanwhile, sophomore Jack Panagos took a different approach in his preparation during the summer. At first glance, one could think Panagos was a football or basketball player given his large frame. The second-year golfer spent a lot of
time developing his core strength and flexibility in the offseason. “A lot of it was about stretching and things like that,” Panagos said. “I’m a tall guy and I grew a lot over a short amount of (time), so I’m a little stiff and things like that and just getting stronger, especially in the core aspect and everything. I have made a lot of strides but there’s a lot of things I can work on. I’m pretty excited to get back here and workout with all the guys.” Shutte said he wants to hear how his players converse on the course during the first few practices. “As well as the conversations, like what intellectual level are the conversations at with their golf swings in terms of how they matured and their thought processes too,” he said. “So, it’s just a constant question and answer type thing as well as watching.” Shutte said he wants Howe to take the next step forward and expects consistent play from him this fall. “Well, he’s a guy that had a lot of experience as a freshman and really as a sophomore. …You know, if he can be a good player for us, it certainly helps our chances,” Shutte said. “... He just needs to eliminate some of the big mistakes if you want to call them that that can plague everybody. … If he can just eliminate those so he gets in the clubhouse and completes it, then that’s what we’ll be looking for.” Howe said he has some big goals in mind for himself and his fellow teammates heading into this season. He said that qualifying for regionals as a team is one of them. “This year, I think our goal for the team is to make it to regionals,” Howe said. “That would be great. Finish well in the Big Ten and make it to regionals. I think it’s a really good goal.” Panagos is thinking more short term and has his sights set primarily on the Rutgers Invitational. “This year, I definitely want to get a win at the RU Invite first thing going off,” Panagos said. “I haven’t really set any long term goals. Just go everytime and try to become like a decent starter and things like that. As a team, we definitely should try to win two or three times in the fall and try to make some noise in our conference tournament at the end of this year.” For updates on the Rutgers men’s golf team, follow @TargumSports on Twitter.

September 2, 2015 FIELD HOCKEY RUTGERS OPENS SEASON 2-0

Knights kickoff season with back-to-back wins at home KAYLEE POFAHL STAFF WRITER
When the numbers on the scoreboard reflect the early morning practices, the days spent on the field instead of on the beach and the seemingly endless hours in the weight room, it’s all suddenly worth it. The Rutgers field hockey team saw this payoff when it opened up the 2015 season with a win against Bucknell University for the second year in a row. The Bison, who were undefeated in the 2014 Patriot League regular season, were outscored by Rutgers 3-1 on Aug. 28. This early success was only the beginning for the Scarlet Knights. The team went on to nab another victory less than 24 hours later in a dominating 4-0 win against Ball State. Totaling seven goals in just two games through the opening weekend, Rutgers takes a 2-0 record to open the season, as well as the gratification of seeing its extensive efforts transformed into immediate results. “It was just a great start to our season,” junior Rachel Yaney said. “I think that from preseason, we really translated everything that we’d been working in to the first two games. Having them back-toback, we were able to fix what we needed to work on, talk about it and go over it and also reinforce what we did well.” To begin the weekend, the Knights opened against the Bison with 20 minutes of equally dominant play before senior forward Nicole Imbriaco scored the first goal of the season when a collision between two Rutgers players in front of the cage left junior goalkeeper Shannon Keen out of position.
Bucknell wasted no time in countering the Knights’ strong of fense. Within just more than a minute of Imbriaco’s goal, the Bison notched a goal of their own, tying the game again at 1-1. Despite Bucknell’s quick response, Rutgers was unphased and maintained its momentum. It was Yaney who restored the Knights’ lead after netting a goal into the back post on an assist from sophomore midfielder Simrin Dhillon. Senior captain Ali Stever went on to score an insurance goal in the final minutes of the game, pushing Rutgers to a 3-1 victory. Returning to the Bauer Track/ Field Hockey Complex the very next day to host another game, Rutgers maintained its collective tenacity against Ball State. Tallying a total of eight penalty corners and outshooting the Cardinals, 23-5, the Knights combined offensive firepower with an impermeable defense to collect a 4-0 victory. Imbriaco and Yaney saw repeat success, scoring the first two goals of the game once again with assists coming from junior defender Devon Freshnock and freshman Caitlin Nitschmann. The third goal of the game came from Freshnock in the second half on a corner play, assisted by freshman Linde van Schaik. Kelly Hanna rounded out the Rutgers offense by scoring her first career goal off a deflection in the final minutes of the game, as the Knights took a 4-0 win. Ball State did not manage a single shot on goal throughout the game despite two corners and junior goalkeeper Shevaun Hayes collected her first shutout of the season. The Melbourne, Australia, native now has three
under her belt during her Rutgers career, totaling one in each of her three seasons as a Knight. With two superior performances to kickoff the season, Rutgers gained not only a sound confidence in its ability as a unit, but also the experience of playing strong through two games in a short time span. With back-to-back Big Ten games lurking throughout the later parts of the season, familiarity with such a demanding schedule is crucial as the fall heads underway. “That was kind of the first time we’ve ever played back-to-back like that, which is really tough, but I think from how we played you couldn’t see that at all,” Imbriaco said. “We’re a high-pressure team and when we have that high energy, that’s when we do best. I think being able to go out there and just kind of work as hard as we can during every single minute we were out there really made the difference because we were winning those 50/50 balls and we were able to outperform both of the teams.” The Knights have established that they have something to prove this season and seem well on their way in doing so. With preparation efforts and skill set clearly evident, Rutgers also has a sharp competitive edge from something that can’t be taught on the field — determination. Head coach Meredith Civico sees the team’s energy as playing a crucial role in the successful outcomes reached thus far, as a cohesive dynamic propels the Knights toward gratifying results. “Winning those first two games is always a really positive way to start and I’m very excited for them,” Civico said. “They are a group that is hungry — they want
to win and they’ve really been working hard as a team. It takes every player on the field connecting and playing well to get the ball in the goal. I think the take away is we’re really translating the parts of our game that we’ve been training and working hard at improving into our match play. And that’s really, as a coach, all you can ask for.” Two early victories have given Rutgers a taste of success that is profoundly addictive. With their momentum moving in a positive direction from the very start, the Knights prefer to let their actions speak for themselves as they strive to establish themselves as a
team that deserves their place in the Big Ten. “I think it sets the standard high. Having those last two wins, we’re not going to settle for anything less, so I think starting off the season so strong, we’re motivated to keep working for that,” Imbriaco said. “It kind of makes it all worth it and makes you keep working because you know that there’s so many possibilities for the future games. I really have a good feeling that this kind of set us in the right direction.” For updates on the Rutgers field hockey team, follow @TargumSpor ts for updates.

FOOTBALL BLESSUAN AUSTIN TO START AT CORNERBACK FOR RUTGERS
Freshman blesses RU starting lineup KEVIN XAVIER ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Two years ago, he had no idea where he was headed. After receiving a diploma from Campus Magnet High School in Queens, New York, Blessuan Austin wasn’t even sure he wanted to continue his education, let alone play college football. Fast forward to 2015 and the true freshman will be the starting cornerback for the Rutgers football team when the Scarlet Knights open the season Saturday at High Point Solutions Stadium against Norfolk State. “The adversity I had to overcome was amazing,” Austin said. “The fact that I didn’t even know what I was going to do when I was leaving high school — if I wanted to go to junior college or prep school — and I made the decision to go to prep school, but at the same time it’s not a guarantee that you would go Division I out of prep school.” After spending a year as a post-graduate at Queen’s prep school Milford Academy, the defensive back was added as an early enrollee for the Knights in the spring. Being ranked the No. 8 defensive back in New York in 2015 by rivals.com, offers flooded Austin’s mailbox from all corners of the country. The reason is simple. Austin represents the new prototype for cornerbacks at the professional level. Long and lean at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, Austin can measure evenly with the Big Ten’s brightest at the wide receiver position. And with bigger, more established programs in the hunt for a dynamic defender of When Rutgers head football coach Kyle Flood extended the offer, Blessuan Austin didn’t hestitate. Since accepting his scholarship to join the Knights, the true freshman cornerback has turned heads to earn a starting spot. THE DAILY TARGUM / APRIL 2015

With its second season in the Big Ten having just begun, the Rutgers men’s soccer team has a laundry list of improvements they look to make from their inaugural season in one of the country’s elite collegiate athletic conferences. After the Scarlet Knights struggled in their inaugural Big Ten campaign (6-12-1,16-1), there were not many reasons to smile in 2014. But while the season was looking bleak, the future was looking bright. Jason Wright, a freshman last season, caught the eye of everyone in the Big Ten as he lead the Knights in both goals (10) and assists (5) on the way to being unanimously named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team. The future of the team looks bright with Wright leading the Rutgers frontline. The Ja-

maica native has already gotten off to a strong start, scoring two goals in the Knights’ season opener against Siena. But perhaps the biggest story from the match against the Saints was the inclusion of Brian Hawkins in the starting lineup. Hawkins, a freshman forward, possesses all the tools to repeat Wright’s success from last season. An NCSA All-American and New Jersey’s Gatorade Player of the Year last season in his senior year of high school, Hawkins was given extensive minutes throughout the preseason and was trusted with a starting spot on the right wing against Siena. The faith placed in him by head coach Dan Donigan translates to confidence on the pitch for the forward. “I talked to a couple of guys when I first came in and they said the biggest thing SEE FOOTSTEPS ON PAGE 13
